Headphones with remote controls and mic

Hi, can anyone recommend me headphones with decent sound quality, microphone and controls on a lead (stop / pause, forward, back, i.e. like on stock ones)?
Eh, and those which won't rip off the budget.
Many thanks!

not found any that were compatable in my searching sorry mate, in the end i got a htc set with just a 1 button control.

There is a huge thread in the general part of the forum. Monster Diddy Beats works with everything but volume.

Try looking here. Maybe not the full controls, but some mic'ed options are there.
I personally use the Ultimate Ears TripleFi 10vi, which has a mic and a single button. If you get PowerAMP, you can click for pause/play, double click for Next song, and triple click for Previous song.

Hi,
Thanks for the link! I am in a competition now! Hope you will send me my prize to the UK.
List is good, but unfortunately, for neither of those I see option to switch tracks with special buttons. I use Astro player (got a special key from developer as I helped them a lot at 4pda.ru), so PowerAMP & single button is not an option for me. 8-(

I am using v-moda vibe2 with power amp. Or standart htc music player with "Droid shuffle" app. Full functional in both cases

V-MODA headphones with the three-button remote control put you in control of your music, allowing you to answer /end calls, play or pause your music. Plus, if you’re using an Apple product, you can control the volume or skip forwards and backwards through your songs and videos.
is volume and next/prev track also working for v-moda Vibe II?

I'm using Sony DR-BT101 with my Desire.
It's wireless, but that's really convenient. It's got a mic and all the controls, and it's not very expensive.

I modded the stock headphones, now got sennheiser in-ear headphones with htc controller... very easy u just need to know a bit about soldering.. and be carefull when opening the headphones, i almost broke one... and to prevent total breaking used some heat-shrink gum after...

I've a Klipsch Image One to listen music and it comes with iPhone micro and volume control.
For my tests I could see that the Desire doesn't recognize the micro part well
Is there an app or a tip to get the control working correctly ?

I don't like the standard earphones as they are too big, but there's no choice of good quality earphones (in ear please!) coming for htc. Most of them are unfortunely designed for iPhone so mix and controls won't work htc devices.
Is there any software that can fix that?

So bad ear phone from Samsung

Least bass effect . Ear phone for optimus one was far better than this .

You must not have put the correct size of buds for your ears. The earphones are very good. The bass, I agree is not the best, but it is good.

I would second that, use tips which give you quality sound and ones which don't cause pain.

Tried everything . Bass is less

Try the bass enhancement option in Music settings. Else you'll just have to buy better ones.

For someone who isn't all that into music, I have found the earphones to be pretty good. I would say they are on par with the Nokia Music Express earphones that I had before.

poweramp is paid app, you can use dsp manager also, see "titanium rom" and "infected rom" they both have dsp manager.

You can very well give a try installing trial version and decide which one is the best. Btw i'm not promoting here. Just a satisfied user after trying all other apps

One could also try N7player from Google Play/Market currently its free as its in beta and had a different interface from the regular players.
It has a Bass Boost option which can be boosted by quite a good amount.

Try out Music volume eq from market..You wil feel the real diff..Seriously i felt the same but after using this , i never thought of changing headphones.

check the review too..

BAD seriously ?????
i don't think So.... its Cool...
Works great with POWER AMP..!

one of the best earphone
if you want..... you can buy creative earphones....
in.creative.com/products/product.asp?category=437&subcategory=861&product=14744[/url]
this one, is the best earphone out of all earphones i have used...

@ OP
the bundled earphone is good enough in term of bass, do not let the sound leak by using appropriate size of eartip with thm and it could get you enough amount of bass...
btw which earphone were you using before this ??

PowerAMP iz teh bestz! :-D

Try them with voodoo sound ! Really good sound!

I agree, the headphones included are pretty much trash, compared with my CX870 they sound terrible. I know these are expensive, but any good headphones for about 20-40$ will sound better and probably last longer. I'm in love with sennheiser, the cx200 can be found for 20$ and they sound really good too for the price.

Yes !! the Effect is really good when used in Power AMP, but when compared to my Nokia N8 ear phones, its bad.

I also have a i9000 phone and its earphones look identical as the provided by the i9103. Except for the jack, which stripes are white instead of black. The i9000 ones sound way better that the i9103.
They are also incompatible, I mean, I can't swap them. Using Voodoo on both phones.

do headphones with on-track controls for music work

Does anyone have headphones with track controls (next song, previous song) or do you guys know if they work with Android?
I know that it works with iphones but I don't know about androids. I am not sure if this is a software or hardware thing??
I googled around and found out that the music controls work on some android phones so maybe it has to do with the drivers/manufacturers?

This is in the wrong section.
You should have either posted in the Q&A or Accessories.

Yep I use the Klipsch Image S4i (made for iPods, which I use with my iPod) and only the play/pause works. That's because it's made for iPods/iPhones. There's an alternate android version available.

If a music app support headset control then yes those headphones should work. So it depends on the app.
For example, the headphones that come with the MT4G had rewind/play pause/forward buttons which worked on the phone with any music app but those buttons don't work at all on my G2x, unless the app supports it.

I have these and they work fine: tap to pause, hold to skip forward and double-tap to skip backward.

edit: On second thought, they don't seem to work on Arcee's CM9 (tried Google Music, Ubermusic and Playerpro). They worked fine on MIUI.

These work with android, but are a little on the pricey side. definitely some of the best in ear headphones though.
They have an app you can download on the market, so should work with any rom/phone

Funny, I was just opening this thread to suggest those. I have the original S4 buds and they are amazing. Best sound for under $300 many say. You wouldnt regret that purchase.

Power amp has its own options for headset controls.
play/pause and double tapping for skip track all work.

My beats with controltalk work very well with CM9....actually better than CM7.....

im using yurbuds inspire on weapon r > new clipped and beats mod, vol controls don't work but on stock music player middle button answers calls mic works fantastic , and middle button also pauses / plays tracks. w power amp and head set controls double click advances track and triple click restarts or skips back.
with beats and power amps eq they sound increadable

[Q] Headset for Nexus4

Dear Experts,
I'm in search of good headset for my #nexus4. I've sorted out 2 options,
1. SONY SMART HEADSET MH-1C for $32
2. JBL J33i HEADSET for $38
I know the volume controls in both of them wont work with Nexus4. But my need is a good sound & bass with tangle free cables & least price.
One more point to finalize these 2 is their offer price I'm getting in India

Thanks for the suggestion.
I too thought the same but Sony MH1C has android support. In future updates from google might make the volume controls work in the Nexus4. Whereas JBL J33i just supports iPhones for volume control :crying:
