It seems that people are having compatibility issues with headphones working on the g2x. I thought it would be nice if there was a thread where people can list what headphones work and those that don't. I can verify that the buttons do not work on the klipsch image s2 and the headphones that came with the nexus s.

Just got my Zagg SmartBuds, and they all functions work perfectly, from volume control to answering/ending calls. PLUS they not only sound great, but w/all the sliders I can keep the cord from going rogue on me. They also came w/4 additional [5 total] ear bud adapters to fit different ear sizes.
I was worried, but I figured [since I bought them during the 50% off sale] worst case scenario I got a gift for my girls iPhone. Was a win-win, depending on how you look at it, more of a win for me.
Are they water/sweat proof?

I do work outside here in Oklahoma and seeing how we've already had our first 100+ degree day, I see much sweating in my near future. I'll keep you updated.

Yeah, I have the Klipsch Image S5i headset and the play button works to start/stop music and answer/hang-up calls but the + & -- buttons don't do anything.
The Image S5i's are designed for Apple products, I have compared the 3.5mm tip connections and they are the same configuration layout that I need for my G2x, but there is obviously something different in the command structure to activate functions.
I love the quality of sound from the S5i's and they are more rugged than the Image S4's I have. I am crossing my fingers that someone will come out with an app that will allow all the functions to work. I found one on the Android market that looked promising -- but it only works with Gingerbread, and I am running Froyo (rooted), so we may just have to wait a little longer for the compatability/upgrade to be introduced in order to get the headsets fully operational (hope it is very soon).
I use my iPod earphones.. the mic works great and so does the play/pause/skip control, the only thing that doesn't work is the volume up/down

i bought the Jaybirdgear sportsband. they are more useful for people who excercise but they work great. all buttons work as well as mic
If you have Mortplayer Music, give it a try.
I can do play/pause (one press), next (two rapid press), previous (three rapid press) with Audio Technica iphone headset adapter.
Anyone tried the nexus one headphones with the g2x? Pause/play works but next/previous track buttons don't with stock player, winamp, or poweramp.

looks good. can you buy one for me?
Looking for some decent/quality earphones that has a working end call/pickup buttons and volume rocker for this phone. Does anyone have suggestions?
I listen to almost anything, but mainly R&B and hiphop. Thanks
Meelectronics has good, cheap solutions that actually sound very good.

It would help if you listed a budget, since headphones can go from $2 to thousands of dollars very easily.
All you need to know: Shure
I think I would say the absolute highest id pay is like 100. But that's a little steep. I'm aiming for around 30-40 and quality. just seeing what's a good bang for your buck that would certainly be an upgrade to cheapo stock iPhone ones. And The samsung ones the phone came with, the left earbud stopped working a couple days ago. And I haven't even played it that loud.
Thanks for the suggestions

For under $40, I'd go Meelectronics, for sure. In fact, the exact ones I linked you.

I bought my Shure 115's for 55 on Amazon. A little out of your budget of 30-40 though. At that range, I'd definitely look at the sennheisers. I had the CX300's and loved them.
and just to confirm the ones you guys listed, the button controls (volume) work for the phone?
i appreciate the help yall

My bad, I totally missed out on the volume control part of your original post... The Shure's I have don't have controls, but I know they have a version that has it. Not sure if it works though.
The Sennheisers do not have controls.
V-Moda is another brand that I think does well with hip-hop music, and I know they have phones that have controls on the wires.
Yup - if you were looking for generic headphone ideas I'd be able to help, but the volume/call control/mic stuff leads to "no clue".
In my opinion, Skullcandy headphones with Comply foam eartips provide great "bang for the buck" but I have no idea whether their call control features work with our phones. My Skullcandy Titans are plain vanilla "listen only" units.
Klipsch s4i may work

so based on some searching around.. there really aren't any headphones that allow u to use the volume controls for the phone (or any android phone for that matter). this sucks.

Those don't work with Android apparently for the controls. They just released these for that very purpose.
But yeah, on a budget, you can't beat these earbuds for sound quality.
The one that came with the phone dont do it for you? im on the same boat as you music wise and after im done listening to music i need some time to recuperate my hearing back. sounds all smuffled.
what im saying is that the ones that come with the phone are fine. good bass. i really like them.
I have iBeats, and really like them but the volume rocker does not work. would be nice if it did
you wont find volume rocker support, just a single button where the function depends on the app. i think it has to do with android not having a set standard on pin-out so the app developers dont write these things in (there are i think 4 posible pinouts, 2 posible ground loop locations of those pinouts, the i9000 and vibrant are different from and completely incompatable with the captivate and infuse do to a different ground loop location, not sure which standard the other sgs devices use..) you need a single button set of headphones with a mic that is compatable with the iphone, not the vibrant/i9000.
i hear that dennon makes amazing headphones in the <$40 range. year shure and klipsh and etymotics are great but for what you are looking for the dennons are about the best in that price range. dont go with the ibeats monster doesnt know jack about headphones and all there products are grossely overprices, i bought them out of curiosity and yeah they're loud, have nice packaging and good build quality but the sound isnt so impressive.

The left ear speaker blew. So that's why Im in the market for some decent ones. I was thinking of just ebaying the same OEM ones. But that Klipsh s4a is sorta intriguing. Pricey though. I'll take a look at the dennons. Thanks.

If you are willing to spend $50 then I'd recommend the Plantronics BackBeat 903+. They are bluetooth with builtin working call controls, pause/play button (tested and works with pandora and music player apps), and volume control buttons.
Yes they are pricey but with all those features and being completely wireless (minus the cord that connects the 2 ear pieces) they are well worth it. The sound quality is awesome IMO.
Edit: Here'e the link for them on Amazon.

looks cool, never tried. but even this app doesn't add volume rocker support. it is not a feature availible on android as far as i know. this app interperates the single button press and relays the command to android. volume control is accomplished by a long press or something.
but i can confirm that you want apple compatible headphones, just ones with a single button, not 3! the ground ring and control ring are identical to the iphone. do not buy headphones labeled for the galaxy s if there is such a thing. att must have spec'd the headphones to be iphone compatible to ensure there headsets for the iphone would work. there are atleast 4 standards for pinouts and the european sgs and the vibrant and others use a different standard.

The middle button will work fine. Not sure about the mic. I know that the volume won't work.
Try http://www.sennheiserusa.com/headphones . I have CX500 for 2 years already and i`m happy with it.
I occasionally use the Sony Ericsson MW600 if you are looking for a wireless alternative. The tracks do not read on the unit itself (it's a SE thing) but the buttons work. Added bonus is that the MW600 has a built in FM radio in it so you can use it that way as well. And for that FM feature, the display does work. I have used this with my Nexus One and now my Sensation from time to time.
Im waiting for the Klipsch S4a's to come out also, emailed them and they said they shall be available towards the end of this month to order in the UK.

Arctic Sound E361 In-Ear Headphones with Mic
Just purchased a pair of the Etymotic HF2's.
Excellent bit of kit. Don't listen to the people who say theres no bass. My head shakes with the bass Most people think there is less bass because these earphones are so clean. Cleaner bass, less distortion (Some people mistake this distortion for their thumping bass)
You do need to bed them in a little. I've only used them for about 10 hrs and can already hear the improvement. To be fair the medium flanged plugs fitted my ears perfectly and isolated the sound pretty well(Other people aren't so lucky). They do disappear into my ears about 2cm into my ears but for me they are pretty comforable!
I had a pair of the Shure SE210's (No Mic) and I thought these were pretty good, they are definitely not as good as the Etymotics
Haven't tested the mic much but appears to work pretty well so far.
There is just one button on these. One click for pause/play, two for next track, three for previous track. Works pretty well in my opinion
Would highly recommend!!
I picked up a pair of Klipsch S4As
They're pretty nice. Though not as nice as my UE Triple Fi 10s 8)

I got the beats ones with the phone...
I'm a bit of an audiophile, so I didn't have high hopes; considering the whole beats thing is a bit of a fad. Was going to stick to my shure ones, drawback... Lack of remote.
However,I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of the beats ones, and the remote/mic is a bit of a God send.
Only drawback, no volume control on em. Also, the hideous red cable. But the in ears are comfortable. So I'll be trying them for day to day, and using my shure for checking recordings (musician, you see)

I am using a pair of AKG K340 in-ear headphones with mic and music control. The audio quality is really brilliant but they aren't great in staying in your ear, a little heavy I guess
Beat earphones are for rap and rnb fans but for rock and trance...
Anyway any earphones + mic for iphone will work on sensation?
I picked up a pair of S4As, It's pretty good, you can also customize what each button press does.
Guys, maybe that's a stupid question, so please don't laugh too hard
Since the Razer Moray uses an adapter to convert the two 3,5mm jacks into one 3,5mm jack to fit into the phone, is it universally possible to do this?
e.g. buy the Sennheiser PC 300 G4me and then hook it up with something like this?
Will the phone be able to use the microphone? Of course, there would be no way to take a call by pressing a button...
Hey guys im a runner and looking for some in earbuds with volume control on line, i came from iphone 4s and had skullcandys but there are not like any.. Any ideas thanks in advance

Ive found the best solution to be to purchase any set of headphones u really like, then purchase the inline control separately off ebay. It can be found for around $5.
Okay so im glad i found this! I love my headphones and im a complete audiophile. if i were you id look into V-Moda Headphones you can find it on there site V-moda .com (Im a new member and cant link yet :/) but they have the inline buttons and they have both over ear and in ear... if you decide to get a pair do me a favor and anyone you know who buy Dr.Dre Beats and thinks there all cool and all. Put them in there place because V-Moda DESTROYS beats.
V-moda may be "good" but are they good for running?
I personally own Shure se215 and they are the perfect in-ear headphones.
They are cheap, under 100$
They fit really well in the ear and block almost every sound!
They hold really good because of the metal wire that fits around the ear.
The bass response is deep, but maybe not for everyone.

Hello guys!
I'm interested in a pair of headphones/handsfree, but I've tried a few "universal" units and either the buttons or the mic doesn't work with the RAZR HD.
Is there any way we can identify which headphones/handsfree fit on our unit?
Thanks in advance.

There are two specifications for implementing headset-based remote controls. One way is the way Apple implements headset controls. The other way is how everyone else in the industry implements headset controls. (sounds very "Apple-like" doesn't it?)
You can use this general rule:
If the headset says it works with the Apple iPhone, then it probably won't work for the Droid RAZR.
Quick example of this:
Klipsch Image S4: Version of headphones without headset controls.
Klipsch Image S4i: Same headphones, has headset controls that work with Apple iPhones (but not Android)
Klipsch Image S4a: Same headphones, has headset controls that work with Android.
Thanks for the input, but I have tried samsung galaxy s hands free for example and they don't work.

Just to be clear... the headphones and mic for these kinds of heatsets will always work regardless of intended Apple / Android manufacturer. Handling audio is just pure analog electrical signals.
However, the push button controls will depend on how the smartphone manufacturer implemented the control specifications. So even though your Dr. Dre Beats for your iPhone works for your Android smartphone, I'll bet that the buttons (Fast Forward / Rewind / Skip Track / Mute / Volume Up / Volume Down) does not work for Android the way that it works for iPhone.
I have been using Skullcandy ink'd with mic for over 6 months. At TjMaxx and Marshall's for $9.99. I also have Klipsch Promedia with Microphone. They both work flawlessly, but you can't go wrong with Skullcandy for the price. They sound awesome, come with lifetime warranty, and cost so little.
anyone can tell me if this
