Can anyone confirm if the mic on Klipsch i series work?

As title really, can anyone confirm if the Klispch X10i s4i or s5i microphones work with the Nexus one? I have seen conflicting reports and one that said it did at first and then stopped
I really want a pair but need to be sure at least the mic works even if other functions dont.
Thanks

I may be wrong but I think the mic for any headphones with a mic work its just the other functions that don't (i don't have what you have but i have another pair of headphones and they work fine)

Well, I am afraid the answer is that the Klipsch X10i does not work with android phones. At least not with the desire z.
I spent £170 on some Klipsch X10i and the mic doesn't work at all
That said...
The Klipsch S2m are on amazon only and they are the same as the Klipsch X1m. They are one button and have a mic that works with android and they are only £25!! They don't sound as quite as good as the X10i but at £25 instead of £170 that seems fair. They have a good balanced sound, a bit bass heavy if anything but they are well worth the money. X10i's are going on e bay!

I have been using the S4i with the N1 since Feb of 2010 with no problems. As you might have read, the volume +/- buttons are made for the iphone and don't work with android. But the call-answer button works to answer calls and skip tracks. The mic works great and the sound quality from the earbuds is great.

Non-Iphone headsets on Android phones
This is general issue, IPhone headsets have the pins for mic/ground switched, so that 'standard' headsets will not work. This is done so that Steve Jobs/Apple can make more money
All you need is a pin-converter cable. I found this one which makes any non-Iphone phone accept IPhone headsets etc.

Its pricey but well worth it if you don't want to buy an IPhone and make Steve rich

it works

The X10i's mic works on my SGS2. Volume buttons don't and centre button also doesn't respond the first few times.

[Q] What type of headphone port?

Hi there,
I've been looking for a while, and haven't been able to find an answer. I'm looking for a good pair of headphones/earphones to use that also have a mic and volume controls. I like the skullcandy Hesh Carbon/Black, but I am told that all controls only work with phones that support a TTL headphone port.
So does the Sensation (Tmobile) support TTL?
or does anybody have these headphones, and have been able to use all controls?
Thanks!

AKG are very good headphones but they have buttons not all compatible with htc sensation

If you take a gander in the accessories threads, there are a few that work with Android phones. On the budget side, ajays four+ I think is called work. I personally use SOL Republic headphones because I love the clarity and quality. That's mid range prices. The mic works and the center button works because they are intended for iphones but I can use the jay's headset app to use the center button to do anything I want like control volume level and skip tracks.

Headsets for the S3.

Hi all,
I've got a pair of Bose earbuds with the mic and media controls on the headset cord, that worked beautifully as a headset for calls on my old iPhone. I realize that the media controls will not work on android, but is there a way to use these as a headset during calls? Or if there is any black magic ways to make the media controls work too, that would be amazing.
Thanks!

I've tried many headphones on the S3 that worked fine for me on the Galaxy Nexus only to find they don't work for phone calls. The only set I've found so far that works is the iBeats that come with the HTC Rezound

List for Samsung htc sony (not sony erricson) and Nokia lumia headset and headphones that work all three buttons & mic
- urbeats
- htc beats solo
- Sony smart headset
- Nocs NS200H-00
- Nokia purity
Update as I found some more

I got the Sony Ericsson mw60 Bluetooth stereo headset. Really like the led display Full music functions such as skip, rewind etc. When I'm in my car I can plug my phone in via auxiliary on head unit. I then can use the Bluetooth for voice search, music, and phone calls. It works better than the Bluetooth in the actual headset. There the hm300 by Samsung that has lossless audio but I can't complain about the quality on the Sony and the led display just sells it. Especially when I'm at work I can control the phone without having to touch it.

urbeats with samsung s3
Hi there. I was wondering if there is an app or widget that you installed to get all three control buttons on the urbeats to work with my s3

No because the headset was made for only apple products (hardware and not software is what's stoping the other 2 buttons from working)
Here's a few in ear headphones you could buy with android 3buttons that will work on the s3 and s4
Soul sl99s (don't forget the s in the end)
Ajay fives (android version)
Nokia purtity inear (they say windows phone but will work on android too)
Htc Urbeats (1st version also they say htc but will work on samsung s3)
APP (free) you could use with the headphone I just listed is called ajay headset control
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=se.jays.headsetcontrol
Hope that helps!
They also have android 3button cable
That would on few on and in ear headphones like beats solo or soul headphones

You can take any headphone with a detachable cord and buy a replacement cord with a mic that works for android. I have Skullcandy Hesh 2 headphones I just need to get a headphone cord with a mic.

Radioshack has one for $10. The one near me didn't have it so I have to travel to get it. that cord you mentioned cost as much as the Hesh 2 that will be $110 combined i am better of getting another pair of headphones. Best Buy also has some for $20. I live in the city so I don't have to travel far for a good deal.

I've used the bose headsets with mine as well but I found that they don't work for calls so I do without and just take calls the normal way.

Hi,
I'm not sure what your so its kind of hard to recommend but I like a lot of bass and as a result I absolutely love my JVC Extreme Explosives and they also make a version with a mic.

I'm a big fan of the etymotic MC series. If you want something cheap, the JVC marshmallow ear buds are around $20,and work great. Haven't found anything with working volume buttons. Only center.

+1. My wife has the marshmallows and loves them. They can be had at any Wal-Mart for cheap. The reason the volume buttons never work is because android and iPhone use different systems. There is a mod you can do with a soldering iron and some resistors, but I've never done it so I really can't comment on how well it works. Use Google and you will find the how-to if you are so inclined.

What headphone music controls will work with the Moto X 2014?

Wasn't sure where this would go, please move if inappropriate.
I bought the Sennheiser Momentum In-Ear (Android Version) back in October. They worked great with my Nexus 5 and the Note 4 I owned briefly. The buttons worked to control music playback and volume with no issue. On my Moto X 2014, the controls do not work at all. Play/pause, volume, skip track, etc... are all completely non-functional.
I thought that there were only two standards, iPhone and Android, and that all Android phones should work with the controls designed for any Android phone. Obviously I was wrong. Does anyone have IEMs/headphones that have in-line controls that actually work with the Moto X 2014? Note I am speaking only about wired headsets, not bluetooth.

My LG HBS-800s work perfectly with my Pure edition running Lollipop. I have only tested it with Play Music though.

Thank you for the recommendation. I am really looking for wired options though.

I have the Bose IE2 and the newer version and they both work.

I have noticed that my Samsung headphones dont work with the X either. Volume pause etc. Not sure why but I think it is on motos end why it doesn't work.

We had this conversation over on the Motorola site. Android does not bake in headphone control (except pause/pick-up/hang-up). Some manufacturers have, such as Samsung and I guess LG, and those work with all of the controls. Motorola does not add in the functionality. There are some headphones that work with a software driver (app) that looks for button press, but I've never tried those. I have gone to bluetooth for my phone.

My skullcandy Ink'd work. Play, pause, skip, previous.
Not my preferred pair but when I need the controls...

Hm, that's... odd since the headphones work on Nexus devices. And I would assume anything built in to a Nexus device is baked into Android...
