Best in-ear headphones for Desire HD with Remote

Hi,
I started workin out and biking quite a bit recently and I want to purchase some earphones for my DHD. Can anyone recommend a nice set with a remote?
Thanks!

Just because I had some anyway I really like the Sony Ericsson headsets. Great sound, some have the music controls, most have a mic and can be picked up quite cheap.
The SE stereo bluetooth headsets work well too. The only issue is that song info may not be available if you go for a headset with display.

thanks for the reply. But do all the controls and mic work on the DHD?
Like these for example?

I am using Jabra street bluetooth headset..if you like using Bluetooth then I recommend it.. good voice clarity and good backup also. Once I charge it fully I can listen to songs 8 hrs continuously

Have massive Turtle beach xbox 360 headset with noise cancellation I use in the gym. to filter out all the garbage brainwashing illuminati music.

Just to let you know, it's not worthit buying any expensive set for them... DHD has *crap* audio output even from the stereo jack output...
I don't say this because I like it either

So true... One of the reason I'm very interested in the Sensation with it's "Hi-Fi audio"
I have the AH-C560R from Denon, the remote is useless (not working even on Gingerbread which was suppose to fix that...), the sound quality is really bad for me due to the DHD audio output (this thing is a joke, really !!!)

If you have experience in soldering you can do it like me:
1. take an old SonyEricsson Headset with the good inEar Phones (W810i)
2. take the stock Headset from the DHD
3. Open the 3 buttons on den DHD headset with a flat screwdriver or your fingernails
4. Desolder the old phones and remove they
5. cutt off the 3.5mm Phonejack from the SE Phones
6. solder the SE Phones to the DHD remote
7. fix all with a few drops of hot glue
8. putt the buttons back on the remote
Enjoy a new soundexperience

You seriously think it has a crappy audio output? I mean i agree on the speaker part but the headphone jack isn't bad by a long shot. Atleast not compared to my previous two phones (Xperia X1, HTC Hero).
On-Topic:
I am using the sennheiser cx 400 II, these work awesome however no headset control. It get's bothersome when riding my bike but i just cant manage to find a good pair without paying to much.

am using SONY MDR-XB40EX, good sound and bass but no remote...

What about the jabra rhythm headphones ? They tell they are compatible with dhd and they have mic, call/play/pause and skip tracks buttons ! Exactly like the stocks one. They cost 30$ on ebay !

if you can pay a bit more, and like some good base, you can go with bose, those are the ones that i have been using since the iphone 3g days

Did exactly this but use a set of senn's, I use poweramp & headset button app to get volume control. The results are awesome.
Would show a pic but not allowed!

Bluetooth
i dont know but the corded headsets, not a fan as they tangle and get in the way.
but i got Sony MW600 bluetooth headset, and its great, got 12hr music time, volume controls, pause play skip back and forward and answer hangup controls. also its got a buit in fm radio transmitter, and they have a great in ear buds in 3 diferent sizes also u can actually connect any 3.5mm headphones into it
maybe worth checking out

I use westone 3 in ear headphones, they don't have a mic but whenever someone calls me i just bring my phone closer to my mouth lol
I don't think the sound from the Desire HD through headphones is that bad, it's probably on a par with my old Nokia N96. Still, if you're into high quality audio you shouldn't really be using a mobile phone for your music!
the westone's retail for about £250 UK

R u sure the sony m600 have fm transmitter? Cos I looked all over the net and all it says that it got fm radio receiver, not transmitter

Got myself Phonak Audeo PFE 112s recently for just under 100GBP, must say the audio output on DHD is not that bad, it's not as good as an iPod touch but still really decent, especially if you use an equaliser such as powerAMP player.
But anyway would recommend the Phonak's to everyone, really good sound quality and they come with a mic and a single button that works with my DHD.

Having gone through quite a bit of experimentation on this, this is the optimal setup for me...
Sony Ericsson MW600 the three remote buttons all work well, but don't use the heat set provided, go for the...
Klipsch Image S4, very good, comfortable in the ear, though not noise canceling they do cut out a lot of external noise.
Finally PowerAmp, you won't get a better music player for the DHD that accommodates Bluetooth Stereo. Has it's only Equaliser and if you use the headset wired direct to the phone it will also allow you to use the Dolby and SRS effects for your DHD.

Agreed, I originally had a pair of Sennie CX300 II but I snapped the cable when it got caught on a door handle and thus ruined the headphones so I've gone and replaced them with a pair of CX500. Whilst they don't have a remote I think they offer the best sound quality, and best noise cancellation, for the price you pay.

I need an FM radio solution, does anybody have the Sony MW1?

I have the T-mobile S 4, it doesn't include the FM radio like my old i9300.
I need the FM radio for going to the gym where the audio for the TVs is broadcasted thru FM.
I see that either Jabra Tag or the Sony MW1 are bluetooth headsets with FM radio built in. Jabra Tag looks kind of ugly and it is only released recently. The Sony MW1 has quite a bit of positive reviews.
I was wondering if anyone here has the MW1? If so, can you please answer the following?
1. Does the MW1 work with Samsung wired headset? I have read that Sony uses a different pin designation for mic on their headsets (CTIA vs OMTP)
2. Does the FM radio work on the MW1 if I use the Samsung headset? (If I don't care about the mic?)
Thanks!

OP is trying to listen to the TV at the Gym, not regular radio station, Tune In app won't help

Nobody?

Do you know those cheap fm - receiver, it would be perfectly for your gym, they are light and you can plug in your headphones, I mean just get some cheap in-ears and thats all you need. If your sportswear has no pouches, look after one with a sturdy clip-on

I have a white ATT S4, picking up a 32gb tonight, not sure which I'll keep maybe both for now.
I have the Sony MW1 and MW600 have not paired it to the S4 yet. but from using it on my previous devices I can tell you.
the Mic is on the dongle itself. the headphone jack is standard pinouts I've used other headphones with it just fine. Assuming the samsung included headphones use standard pinouts (I dont see why they wouldn't) it should work without a problem, just the mic on the wire would be non functional, but the mic on the dongle should work.
I use my MW600 most of the time the MW1 occasionally, it's bulkier but has it's own mp3 player which is nice.
I read a new model is coming soon Sony SBH50 is the name saw it on engadget yesterday also includes FM radio.

The MW600 is awesome.
Been using one for two years.
Most likely buy another soon. Battery life down to about eight hours.

I too have the MW600. It has the following device settings.
1 x FM radio
2 x Computers
1 x Phone
I have my MW600 pared to my laptop, HTPC and S4 and works like a champ. Sound is great with awsome bass, mids and highs. The head phone can be replaced with another one or one of your choice.
The replacement headphone is 3 pin. The microphone is not in the head phone but the Dongle body itself as well as all the controls.
You cant go worng with this BT headset.

Compatible earphones

Okay, this hasn't been the best day of my life. I was Skyping with my Z and in a hurry of having to do something in the house I pulled out my stock earphones (which model are they anyway, I can't seem to find the model version) out of my ears and while I was getting up I somehow pulled the wire and my phone fell down from my desk. When I picked it up, I had an unpleasant surprise awating for me. My earphone jack was broken from the fall, and is quite unusable now as the sound is distorted.
So, my question is, is there any list of compatible earphones for XZ? I tried my SE Xperia Arc's stock earphones, but Sony gentlemen decided to make them INCOMPATIBLE with XZ (which pissed me off good). I really need help as I'm using my XZ as an mp3 player as well.
Thanks in advance!

I think any iPhone compatible headset will do just fine.

I am thinking of buying Sennheiser CX 275s, but I'm not sure if they'll work with Z.

I own the Sennheiser Momentum and they work OK with the Xperia Z even though they are branded for iPhone use.
Mic works, control remote is limited though. Volume up and down don't work, but the middle button can be used to pause, answer, skip track, hang a call.

Most of the time u do will have issues with headphone that have a control or a hands free system in it. Unless they aren't the sony ones u might get in to issues but pretty much every other headphone that don't have a control or hands free on it should work flawless. Or Bluetooth Stereo headphone even with control and Hands free should work fine too. As long as they aren't branded from any other cellphone manufacturer. For example my beats headphone from htc have issues with the xperia z the Samsung headphones do too. But my other 2 pair that aren't branded from a cellphone manufacturer work fine.

Bundled headset / headphones

I notice that the Z3+ / Z4 did not come with any bundled headphones. What are the chances of the Z5 premium coming with headphones? If not can you use any Sony headphones to utilise the noise cancellation?

http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00HX9AJ5M works with all the current ones with built in noise cancellation, so would imagine they would work with the Z5 too. The listing on all the Z5 versions on clove.co.uk don't have any headphones listed as being included in box, so I would suspect there isn't going to be.

Does the Z5 actually state it has noise cancellation for the earphones, I've only seen it mentioned for the mic

No headset with Z5 Premium
Hi all. I just purchased a Z5 Premium and there was no headset or quick charger including..... Really really poor choice for Sony not to include headset and the quick charger. I'm going to contact Sony today abd complain about it. It can't be right that I almost paid 1200$ for the phone and then no headset. They could at least include a headset with a phone that expensive.

Got my z5 dual with headphones,quick charger and sony flip case. I am from India...may be offer is available for certain regions..

For the regular Z5 there was nothing else than the normal charger itself... however there is a dedicated space in the box for headphones nothing was there in Poland... Official Sony distribution
Ehh, it is wrong way of selling premium devices...

mine came with headphones, it came from Taiwan though

Mh750- headphones.
UCH10- quick charger.
Along with Sony flip case-SCR42

Mh750 headphones with no quick charger

SONY Xperia XZ3 MH750 headphones In the XZ2 Box..

Just Unboxed my Gorgeous Green/Blue XZ2 from O2UK...
I was a bit disappointed to see that SONY have included a pair of MH-750 In-Ear Buds in the box... which not only came with the original Z3, but also have a 3.5mm headphone jack plug on them..
Yes I got a 3.5mm - usb-C dongle in the box, but Ide hoped SONY wouldve made more of an effort with them..
Did anyone else (from ANY region) get anything different.
Cheers

Same here (Slovenia) - eu...
Last good headphones came with Z2 ?

Be glad you got something extra in the box.
I bought mine then it was pree release and got the worthless wireles in ear.
They drop connection and also have a sound delay in them.

Did some tests with my xz2compact and my good old beats in-ear headphones.
The HTC u11 usb c headphones work too but the sound quality and especially loudness are that bad that you can't really use them.
The U11 adapter works too and is even louder than the Sony one.
However i got the h.ear2 (mh900) as preorder bonus and prefer to use them i guess. At least when the question about carrying the bigger ones with me is not important.
Lets be honest: There will be no phone like the HTC 10 regarding sound quality. As they remove the headphone jack they would need to include a very good adapter or usb c headphones. Too much costs for almost every company. HTC includes some very good headphones and i heard razor dongle should be very good. But still i can live with that, it's still only a phone and i rarely use headphones (mostly on longer flights etc).

I bought the HTC 10 in-ear headphones to use with my XZ2 as my original ones were broken. The HTC 10 headphones work extremely well for my use with the XZ2 and those coming from the 10 should definitely use those. For those of you who haven't come from the 10, buy the headphones if you want a quality, cheap in-ear pair! They're around £20 on eBay.

Hmm, sounds like im not the only one... I also have the HTC U11, so I might try the dongle / ear buds from that.. as the dongle has a DAC built in... I guess I had hoped SONY mightve pushed something new out with a new flagship because SONY can be pretty expensive
A friend of mine told me that theres an offer in the UK with O2 for a FREE pair of WF-1000X in-ear buds somewhere

Mhmmm i'm using the Xiaomi ProHD, using PowerAmp v709 and a 24bit 192khz Flac tune and it does sound kinda similar to my HTC10.
I'll try some Benches in the future....

This isn't a bad thing.
MH750 remains a very good in-ear.
I still have my first, from Z3 package.
Working perfectly well and sounding smoothly.
