As you all know that using 3rd party headphones with standard 3.5mm jack has always been an issue with the i9000. I just found out today that my 5 years old Philips SBC HS520 headset works fine with the i9000, amazing sound quality comparing to the stock headphones or even some of the entry level Senheiser. Bare in mind this headset was really cheap and the bass is more than adequate for linkin park. What I would like to discuss is that if anyone else has found any headphones that is good quality and works well with the I9000?
Im using Philips SHH1112 adapter and it works great together with my Sony NUDE earphones. The Sony works well too when connected to the galaxy directly.
There's a super cheap adapter that I've been using with HTCs.. Doesn't work here. I suspect its a size tolerance issue.

For normal audio any head(ear)phone with a 3.5mm jack will work. The problem is getting the mic working on a call. I have used numerous in ear earphones, a headphone, a PC speaker system, the auxiliary input of my car Audio system, etc.. they all work. But have to take them off to make a call, unless I use an adapter with a built in mic (i.e Nokia AD-54 or a Bluetooth headset).
That's not the case - every standard headphone I've used works perfectly fine. Maybe you are referring to head/earphones with mic...
Anyway - I use the creative ep-630 and music sounds fantastic. You can pick these up for under $20...

I'm not sure which headset to buy since my Nokia bt-104 doesnt detect the phone...
I have this one http://www.jabra.com/Sites/Mobile/UK-UK/Products/Pages/JabraCLIPPER.aspx
works like a charm!!
I have successfully used over the years a Nokia BH-600 bluetooth headset with various phones (Sony Ericsson, Nokia, iPhone) and now with the Optimus One. Very good sound quality (both receiving and transmitting), long stand-by and talk time, perfect pairing with all the phones I mentioned above. It gets a bit uncomfortable if you wear it for extended periods of time - which you may since it's so light that you forget you're wearing it. 4+ years of usage and still going strong.

Mine BH-503 work perfect on P500. Maybe the sound is set to 0 on the phone or on the heatset? Try putting on some volume on both of them

nokia bh-503 perfect!
I bought the BH-503 last week. The sound was awesome, with every phone except my O1 . There was like a fuzzy sound in the background :/ Does anyone know how to eliminate this? I sold the headset to my friend.
I use Noka bh-604 with p500. Works without problem.
I have one question to those who bought their Bluetooth headphones for music. How do they compare in terms of sound quality to a pair of in-ear headphones? I'm asking because I'm aware that the P500 is a little noisy when using internal ones comparing to a dedicated mp3 player, such as Samsung P3 and I'm curious about either the noise on BT headphones or other sound issues with those. Is the frequency response as it should etc etc?
Thanks.

Personally, I feel that the noise is even worse when being used through a bluetooth headset. I tried some wired Philips headphones which sound great on my iPod, but they feel kind of slightly "screechy" with my O1.
Any wireless device is normally more noisy than the wired equivalent.
I am using a s9-hd copycat from dealextreme and works well.

I'm using quite old SonyEricsson HBH-DS205 from times I used to have SE G900 and to be honest I'm more than surprised that this headset still works flawlessly.

Hi all, I got a Moto G 8gb from Phones4U, and my Bose QC15 noise canceling headphones made a nasty clicking noise every time they were plugged in. The clicking would happen no matter if something was playing or not. Nothing would play out of either channel, and the software would randomly pause whenever they were plugged in, as if they were being unplugged. Various cheap earbuds worked, but not my QC15s. I factory reset it three times, and obviously tried the headphones on about a half dozen devices, including a Galaxy IV, iPhone 5C, Nexus 5, my laptop, my desktop, and an old iPod Classic -- all worked perfectly.
I took it to Phones4U and exchanged it for another model, which had the exact same problem. We tried a 16gb version and it had the exact same problem too. Then we tried it with various other phones and my QC15s worked, so they told me that my headphones must obviously not be compatible with the Moto G line. Then they said I wasn't even eligible for a refund because it was about compatibility, not a defect. I raised hell and finally got them to refund it, but now I don't know what to do. Anybody else have noise canceling headphones, especially the QC15s, that they have successfully or unsuccessfully used?

You were probably a bit hasty returning the phone just for this, but you're right there's something screwy about the Moto G's handling of wired earphones that are more complex than basic stereo. I can't get any 3-button remote headset to work with it properly, for example. No doubt Motorola will deal with this in future updates ... unless they only want us to buy the Sol Republic Jax earphones, which would not be good ...
I'm also surprised you got a refund, as Motorola doesnt claim compatability with your headset. Also surprised that Phones4U now have 16GB in stock

Just for the record I have a 16gb Colors edition from Brazil and I use a Sennheiser bluetooth headphone with my Moto G (PX 210 BT) and it works beautifully!
I can use all its buttons with no problem: play/pause, volume up and down and skip track forward/backward.
One interesting thing I noticed was: the headphone did not perform very well with Google Play Music. Both sound quality (it would constantly click during playback) and the buttons (play/pause button would only work with screen on) were not up to standard.
However when I installed my player of preference, PlayerPro, and messed a little bit in the settings of the app with audio priority and with the keyguard settings both audio quality and buttons were working great!

Yes, bluetooth is another matter of course. But I guess he has a reason to be sore when those wired Bose QC15 headphones cost twice as much as the phone itself
Workaround to make them work
I have the same problem connecting my QC15 with moto G. With some experimenting I somehow made them work and they are perfectly fine now. Follow the below steps to make them work with your phone.
1. Disconnect the headphones to the phone and start music on any player(Google play or your choice) on the phone.
2. Once the song starts playing insert the headphones into the jack. Imp Note: remove the headset part from the wire.you should only insert the wire without having the headset piece.
3. Now the song will continue to play. Now switch on the headphone and insert the wire into the headphone. It should work now.
I know this shouldn't be the actual scenario, but engineers at Motorola have made up some mess which cannot be cleaned up now with respects to hardware. The phone is little wierd on headphones port. Its not working with aux cables in my car too
I have SMS street by 50 cent and every thing works fine. skip/pause and previous track

Same problem
I've experienced the same problem with Bose QC15 and the Moto G. Motorola support were rude and unhelpful, first assuming that the QC15 were bluetooth and telling me flat out that it was not a fault of their hardware. Eventually I got a ticket raised so we'll see what happens. Not holding my breath.
bonthukarthik, your fix works - thank you for sharing - although I must add that this step has to be repeated whenever playback is stopped or paused (including when Spotify plays an advertisement). If I find anything out from Motorola, I will share it here.
I just got some qc15's and they only worked out of the left ear with the moto x. I used the work around above and they now work. weird. play/pause button now works but the volume does not on the inline headphone controls.
What kind of connector this headset/headphone has?
CTIA or OMTP?
I have skullcandy 2xl single button headphones and it doesn't work
when i attach the headphones the music pauses
Confirmed
I can confirm this issue with Moto X and also the workaround. I have contacted Motorola but so far no luck in getting through to someone who can open an issue internally
Skullcandy not working
Have the same problem
I have the skull candy inkd 2
It only works when its 3/4 inside but when I push it all the way in a clicking noise plays
Please find a solution
Hi.
I just got a moto g, I have a bose qc3 and the same problem.
It seemed tome that it seemed to me that it was connection or impedance related... so I tried a few things.
The best way I found to make it work fast is plugging it in using the airplane jack adapter. It works perfectly fine but the remote won't work.
I guessed that it means that it's remote/impedance related.
Like it was said before, unplugging the jack on your headset, playing something on the phone and plugging it it afterwards works too... But I really don't know why !
Any clues, anyone (with advances electronic skills)?
With my former android phones I had troubles using the answer/play remote on some headphones/buds, but never like that. It was allways clear to me that iphone and android headset/buds remotes work in a different way, and sometimes even differently depending on your android model or brand...
My guess is that using a cable without a remote will work... but it's be nicer to have a working remote.

I found something, just a clue, I don't mean it'll work for sure.

Alright here are some more details / partial solutions :
- If you plug your qc using the jack with the remote/mic and the airplane adpter, the sound sill work, but you'll lose the mic and commands. Basically it's the same as if you plugged it in usgin a "regular" jack cable (that bose sells, or used to, btw)
- if you use the "play and then plug jack in headset" workaround, sound will work, the main button too : it'll play/pause, but if you stop and quit tha music app, the problem will come back
- almost the same with a call, if you call your phone and wait for it to ring before pluging the jack into your hedset the sound will work both sound and mic, but the button fonctions are weird : at first it'll aswer the call, but afterwards it'll work as an on/off switch for the mic.
- Best solution I found : when you plug your headset and have the parasite problem, just press the main button on your remote, it'll stop the problem... but the button won't work anymore, either to answer/hangup or play/pause. I use this solution ftm, even if I don't think it's good for the headset to have this clicking parasite, and I'm still waiting on a way to make everything work all the time.
Any ideas ?

Have you tried with a CTIA to OMTP converter .
Hi, thanks.
No, i should, but I thought that all android phones were ctia now... I don't have my moto handless kit with me, but I'll try it with my gf's xperia sp to see if it works with it, since my bose headset works perfectly with the xperia.
Anyone knows if the moto g is ctia ?
Any other ideas ?

All Stereo Head phones normally use a 3 Pin Jack, Cell phones use a 4 pin, I found this out before with some other audio products..
I confirm all the informations about the problem and the workaround concerning a Moto X and the QC15 I just got. I hope a solution will be found. Does anybody tried that amazon product ?

I have a Droid Maxx and the QC15. The android inline remote & mic kit from Amazon have the same problem as the iphone cable that comes with the QC15 headphones. Quite annoying. Also, I can't get the workaround to work. No matter what I do, I only get sound from the left speaker.
I had a similar problem (no audio, weird noise in right ear) with Moto-G and QC15. The workaround that succeeded for me was to change the headphone gain from Hi to Lo. The gain switch is in the plug that connects the wire to the left earcup.
This supports the suggestion that the issue is caused by some impedance measurement routine on the phone.

When i plug in both of my iphone 5 earphones the music plays through the speaker and then stops and then plays and finally comes to a halt. When i don't plug it in properly and leave it hanging the music plays fine (lower quality with lots of disconnections). The earphones work with my computer and other mobile phones so what is the problem? they both randomly stopped working but other headphones work fine? The iphone 5 earphones from a friend also works fine. Lol weird problem.
I want the moderator to ban me.

But, as your friends headphone works well with your phone, then your phone has no problem. There might be some problem with your iPhone 5 headphone.

the problem is that the headphones do work fine and there is nothing wrong with them as it has worked on multiple other devices. I have seen other XDA threads reporting the same issue with no replies or in clear replies that are not educated. I think it is a kitkst software problem.
I want the moderator to ban me.
I would blame your headphones.
But the Moto G is a bit picky with the earphones.
Im using my old earphones from an LG with Windows Phone and although they work sometimes Google Play Música closes when I use the earphone button.
Guess it only works perfect with those Motorola stylish earphones from the commercials.
Hi,
So bought these awesome Razer USB C earphones which have a built in mic. They work fine as both earphones and a microphone but for some reason the native phone app will not route the call audio through them!
I have no doubt this is a quick fix for Samsung kernel or otherwise as they remove the USB port from the next generation of phones but I would expect USB C earphones to work. Other phones like Oppus, Huwei, HTC and Pixel don't seem to have issues.
Any ideas here?
I have the OnePlus USB-C Bullet earphone, it works fine both for audio and for a call.
I've been trying my old HTC headphones I got with the U11. Sadly these don't work at all as they are brilliant headphones.
Probably because of the active noise cancelation they need a specific driver.
Okay, will return and try these instead.

The OnePlus USB-C earphones didn't work with my Note 9 either. At least these are cheaper...
I believe some of those headsets use a analog pass trough instead of having their own DAC so they only work with a phone that supports that
