Hey guys, today I tried a pair of apple and sony headphones both with mic and controls. Both headphones were detected by the Aria and showed the little headset icon in the notification bar. Audio worked perfect, but the microphone did not work on either set. I then opened the htc ones and they worked perfectly fine. the apple and sony's both show the mic is being detected but no sound is picked up. Any Ideas as to why this may be? Anyone else try any other headphone brands?
Having the same issue!

These guys! My headphones cost me around 120 bucks! Granted I did get some use out of them with the iphone, but come on...I even asked the at&t rep that sold me the phone specifically about that.What an uber-douche.let me know if you find anything else out. Or a decent pair of headphones that will comply with htc standards.lol

I want the skull candy 50/50 they are about 40 bucks, I guess I'll email skullcandy next. Worst come to worst I buy them and return them right away!
Were the sony's made for the iphone? I thought that the iphone was the one with the non-standard writing... So if the sony's were also made for the iphone then I would question whether it was htc or apple who is non-standard.

I purchased a set of iFrogz EarPolution headphones at the recommendation of the sales rep at Best Buy. They work fine. The single button controls several functions depending on the mode of the phone.
1) it acts as the start / pause mode of the default media player. Apparently it will play what ever is in queue on the player
2) answer the phone on incoming call or hang up in an existing call
3) long hold and no active call goes to the standard voice activation commands
I have been using these for over 2 weeks and they are pretty good.
Just fyi, I'm not sure of the model number, but the headphones that I was referring to in my earlier post are made by klipsch. They are definitely high end headphones, and they definitely do not work with phone calls on the aria! The only button that does work for the music player, is the center button. And all it does its turn the music on and off.I've tried several different pairs with a mic, the only ones that work are the pair that came with the phone. I'm also assuming that the klipsch etc... were made for the iphone as that was my last phone and they all worked. so I'm guessing that apple has the non standards. Final answer, if they work with the iphone, they WON'T work with htc.

Check out the skullcandy website and look up the FMJ
I have these, I can confirm the mic works though it is quite loud. Plus, music sounds great on these.
I'll also let you in on a secret, that may or may not work anyway. When your headphones are out of warranty, and cannot be worked on anymore, they give you a coupon code for 50% off of a new pair, generally you can find these codes online, I have bought a few pairs this way in the past.
Thought I would mention that the Scosche HP155m do not work with aria, the headphones do but not the mic. Seems strange as the plug matches closely with the stock earbuds.
Anyway, felt I should mention it
I got a set of Klipsch Image S2M from tigerdirect.com and they seem to work quite nicely, both as headset and microphone. The noise cancelling is due to the tight fit in the ear (multiple sizes included), but works well. There is a single button on the mic and it controls play/pause when using doubleTwist media player and hangs up the phone when on a call.
So different headphones WILL work w/ the aria. Right?
for listening to audio, any headphones work fine. for having audio/voice, only certain ones will work.

Im used to using my iphone headphones with the built-in mix and music controls (lost them). Was wondering if any earphones with these features will work with the DX to answer/hang up calls and control the music player.
Im on my way to best buy for an unrelated purchase but would like to know what options I have before I get misled by a sales agent there.

I have the Motorokr S9. They are bluetooth. I really like them. I have been looking to upgrade and there are a lot more out since I first purchased. I would definitely do some research online before buying from Best Buy.
Update: I went out and upgraded from the S9 to the S9-HD. They are huge improvement from the old model. The sound is so much better. Battery life is still about the same.

V-MODA Vibe Duo Earbud Headset (Gunmetal Rouge)
Try doing an amazon search for those.
I ordered them a few weeks before I got my DX cause I knew I would need some headphones. And was I pleasently surprised! These 26$ earbuds EASILY surpass the quality of my friends' $100 Bose and $60 Skull candy or w/e earbuds. Plus they are very well built, with a braided cord and a cell phone call start/end button. Oh and the color matches the droid x.
Try em out! I guarantee you won't be disappointed

The Beats line by the Doctor has Control Talk, which may or may not work completely with Android (leaning towards may not). I believe only the pause
and volume control work, not the next/prev track. Not cheap though. I'm looking at getting the Gaga's for my sister. They better tuck her into bed at
night too for $130!
I want the beats sooooo bad. Can't justify that kinda $ though.

+2, I've had mine since I had my old 6700, they work great.
I'd also +1 the S9HD's if those blasted ear bud pieces weren't so prone to falling out and getting lost while being transported in a pocket or getting pulled out of a pocket (I can't use them any more b/c this happened to all 3 sizes of ear buds, and I have yet to find a way to purchase replacements w/o buying the entire headset again).
I have a set of rocketfish over-the-ear BT stereo headphones w/ music and call controls. They work quite well and though they take some adjustment on my head due to me wearing glasses, they are also fairly comfortable..... and they're not at all as expensive as the name-brand motorokr's (motorola if you couldn't tell).
I got the V-Mode Vibe Duos too! lol
I agree, very good pair of earphones. Only catch is that the default music player wont pic up the control button. No big deal tho cause you got a nice widget on the lockscreen that allows u to pause, forward or rewind.
I got the Dr Monster Beats too but i THINK they are fake. Friend gave em to me, anyways, the v-modas sound wayyy better and have a very nice deep rich bass!
If you go to amazon you will read a lot of negative feedback, to be honest my v-modas still working just fine!
+1 Motorola S9-HD
I use mine every day.
These are nearly the only headphones/ear buds in existence that will have all the controls work properly on your phone with.
http://www.zagg.com/audio/smart-buds.php
Virtually all headphones/ear buds with audio controls are designed for Apple products. Apple is a terrible company, they make everything proprietary; they switched the mic and ground connectors so they could force manufacturers to make headphones that would only work properly on their bass-ackwards newer Apple products.
Products like these:

Will only work on newer-generation iPods/iPhones/etc. because Apple switched the microphone and ground connectors, so when you plug any of the above-linked products into a regular, worldwide standard, normal headphone jack like we have on our Droid X and that a gazillion other devices have, the buttons work sporadically or not at all.
God, I hate Apple. Support Zagg for being nearly the only company in existence to recognize what Apple has done, and accordingly provided a product for everyone else with. Apple would do the same thing with Bluetooth if they could, but they don't own the Bluetooth standard, thankfully; which is why all your audio controls work on any Bluetooth-enabled device out there. (as long as it's not a really old one)

Another reason to hate Apple... thanks alot man!
i have the in-ear beats. They are AMAZING. the controls don't work though.
+1 for S9 as well.
The Nokia TRRS standard is what everything else uses, Tip = Left channel, first Ring = Right channel, second Ring = Mic/Control feed, Sleeve = Ground.
The Apple TRRS standard uses, Tip = Left channel, first Ring = Right channel, second Ring = Ground, Sleeve = Mic/Control feed.
Funny thing is Nokia started to use that TRRS layout well over ten years ago in Asia. Almost immediately China and Japan adopted it as an industrial standard and every phone manufacturer since has used it too.
Then Apple comes along years later, with all its infinite wisdom on how to do things that will alienate themselves from the rest of the market and switches the second ring and sleeve. So now the mic and controls for Apple headsets wont work with ANY other phone, and you can’t use any other headset with the iPhone unless it is Apple configured.
Things get even more complicated when apple decides to alter the amp setting for the output of their audio. This is even more interesting and dumbfounding: Apples headsets bass range can be driven at a much lower signal power, that means that you can still use the Apple TRS headphones for audio only (no mic, no controls) in any other device BUT you can’t properly use TRS headphones manufactured for the rest of the industries phones because they require a higher signal power to drive the low end. So if you try to use a standard set of headphones with an Apple device the bass will surely suffer. Those issues happen all the time with iPods because of the same configuration of the TRS standard.
With TRRS you get other issues caused by the signal grounding through the control buss, every now and then output from a song will bias a diode or transistor just right to skip the track or stop the song or do a whole slew of different and wacky things.
So if you ever see someone having this issue with a smart phone tell them to get non-Apple headsets.
If you see someone with an iPhone that’s having this issue, tell them to get an Android device. No, seriously though, tell them to get an Apple headset. Same thing goes if they are experiencing poor bass.
So it isn’t that there is only one brand making the correct headsets, its more like a few brands making headsets that only work with Apple. An easy way to identify the difference is Apples control standard is referred to as TapLine. Just buy headsets that aren’t TapLine or TapLineII. A vast majority of ALL the headsets on the market use the Nokia TRRS standard which is what everything other than Apple is configured for, you shouldn’t have any issues finding a headset that will work for audio and voice.
If you want to use Bluetooth, then you have a world of options for headsets, pretty much everything works. I like the MOTOROKR S305, inexpensive, uses micro USB to charge, and has FULL control, even with voice commands.
If you want to save your battery and use corded headsets with FULL control, then be prepared for disappointment. Right now the Droid X does not support phone controls through the headset command controls. You should still be able to control your music player (maybe, that is still a hit or miss), but if you want to answer and end a phone call then you only have the option of setting the phone to handsfree. With the phone set to handsfree answer and the headphones are plugged in, the phone will answer and you just have to allow the caller on the other end to terminate the call.

I can't repost the link because the forum thinks I might be a spammer.
It was the link for the Zagg headset.
OK, I am confused with your post. You acknowledge that Apple does things differently and that Apple headsets won’t work on other phones, but then you list a link that is for an Apple configured headset. The description on the page states: “ZAGGsmartbuds music control for iPhone” and then contradicts that with: “Compatible with almost all smartphones with 3.5mm jacks” and then it states: “Some non-US smartphones, such as the Samsung i9000, have a unique jack configuration that requires an adapter for use with the ZAGGsmartbuds.” which is yet another contradiction because that phone is the Galaxy S Android phone that uses the Nokia standard. So the description on that page is pretty much saying that if you want these to work with anything other than an Apple device then you need to use a converter.

I've been using the OEM headset that came with this phone and for one they are quite good for headphones that come with the product.
My question is does anyone know the controls for the headset? So far from using it I know that the main button pressed once is for mute/play/answer calls and if you double press it quickly it will skip to the next track (but you have to do it correctly or sometimes it won't do anything ).
Anyone else know the other control settings?
that's pretty much it AFAIK
if there are other features, then i've not used it that far
Wow, these are surprisingly very good headphones, and the controls actually work.
Thanks man, totally forgot we even got headphones with our phones.
Btw, if you hold down the top side of the "clicker thing", it raises volume slowly, if you hold the bottom end it lowers it. not the best control, but its in addition to what you think we had.
yes, i was very surprised this time as well, being a long time Samsung customer, this is the first time they packed in Quality Premium headphones with their phones

yea, my Samsung Vibrant came with reaaaalllyyy bad headphones (iphone type, basically, maybe even worse) so I didn't even look to check if there were headphones with the GS2
this is great news for me, i've been trying to replace my last ear buds and my latest purchase were these over ear Sony MDR V6s. they are AWESOME headphones but my first pair of quality over ears, and they might be a bit over doing it for what I need 'phones for, so I was gonna return them and get some earbuds again.
lucky for me i saw this topic and discovered we have decent earbuds with the phone + the controls are just an added bonus.

So far we can change the volume, answer/end calls, skip a song.
Anything else (playback a song with 3 clicks?)? Also, does anyone find the controls to be spastic at times (sometimes they work correctly, other times it lags a bit)?
is there the same functionality with headsets made for iphones (but not made from apple)? i have a really good set of sony's that fit my ears better than the ones that came in the box.
Damn my phone box did not had any headphones nor it mentions it on the box

Thanks for the info on double click and volume control (I'll have to try that). I've seen people complain about the headphones, but I was quite happy with them. The noise canceling is quite powerful as I can't hear much of anything else when I've got them on. I'm not used to $200+ headphones, so perhaps my standards are low, but I've been very happy with them.

They are on ebay everywhere, and rather cheap.
Got my phone on valentine's day, did even come with a headset... USB cable and that was that. Picked up a cheap'o at Wallymart... works fine.
First time, long time...Lurking for a while, not posted until now...
Anyway, my phone came with nothing but the wall charger and cable - maybe some booklets. I got my junk at T-Mobile and I asked about headphones. The chick there said it didn't come with any...But because she had a nice rack I just went with it and here I am. Looking at ROMS, but wandered into this section and thought I would throw in my 2 bits.
I have been using the headphones that came with my Sony MP3 player and they sound ok. I bet some quality ear buds would do my ears justice but I am too cheap and my ears are too deaf. Maybe in the future, we'll see.
these headphones sound great but mine already broke. there is chord stress around the connector and now i only get sound out of one earpiece and not both. great sound but not very durable.

I'm using ones from my SGSII. Work perfectly, nice deep base, mic works perfectly fine as well.
Overall, I'd say my SGSII headphones are surprisingly the best earbuds I ever had. To my ear, best frequencies.
So perhaps you can just buy SGSII replacement buds.
Beats in-ear earphones. At hmv they are reasonably cheap. I'm pretty sure you can find ones for less if you try gumtree or eBay. Just make sure they're genuine, Fake ones WILL break within a few days (past experience). http://m.hmv.com/product/details/171063 <---- those are really good quality, and well within your price range.

You should try these out. They are called a-JAYS ONE+, and they are made for android. They also have their own android app where you can customize the button to perform different functions (change track, adjust volume, launch apps etc) the app is called JAYS headset control.

I've been searching for the ideal cordless headphones for my galaxy player. I commute to the city and the cord on my Sennheiser HD448 gets annoying real fast. Especially since I have to whip my 5inch device out of my pocket to change songs. (I use PlayerPro to replace the volume key function with Next/Prev, but it's still a hassle). It would be so much easier if I could just tap a button on my headphones, but I can't find them for the life of me. If anyone can shoot me a link to somewhere (preferably amazon) that would be great.
Conditions:
- Must be over-the-ear
- Wireless (bluetooth or however those things work)
- Next/Prev track control (If it has both track AND volume control that would be amazing)
- $100-200 price range
I've been using Sony Ericsson MW600 Bluetooth headphones for awhile now. Sound great and only cost like $40-$50 on Amazon. Additionally they give you the ability to use any headphones and make them Bluetooth. Has track controls, volume, play/pause and phone answer/hang up. Also allows you to pair to 3 devices at once. Nice if you wanna listen to music from one device and monitor calls from another ie. IPod and phone.

Looked them up. They're kinda cool since I can use it with my current headphones. I would probably tie up the cords and clip them on my pocket or something. I am mainly looking for something that doesn't have cords at all and has playback options on the headphone cans (or whatever they're called). This would actually be a pretty cheap alternative if i cannot find what I'm looking for. Thanks

I have used these Parrot Zik headphones and they are realy amazing. Nice audio quality, very comfy, touch gestures, automatic pause on removal an very stylish. A major down is that the battery last 4-5 hours with active noise control, which is a pitty for such nice phones.

Now that is weird. I just bought these in July and they had it then.
Maybe toss them an email and inquire as to why they won't ship to the USA.
According to their support guys, Canada being missing is an error on the order form.

According to their support guys, Canada being missing is an error on the order form.

iheadphones also sells them on amazon, which would be better for me since i have credit. i contacted them on amazon and they later told me that i could order over the phone, which works i guess. But I then asked them, since i have an amazon credit card in the US, if the points earned would work for a UK order. Waiting to hear back.
anything but beats!
I use my own headphones via 3.5mm plug in combination with a black version of the Nokia BH-111.
Using it with PlayerPro on an LG Optimus 2X. That way you can also hook up your phone wireless to the line in of your stereo set. And still opt to use the same headphones wired whenever the battery of the BH-111 is empty. Or connect it to a device that does not support A2DP. Pretty versatile.

I don't want wireless or bluetooth I need a wired headset with mic coming out. Can someone suggest one or would it work with 3.5mm plug?

Any wired headset with 3.5mm connector will work with Galaxy S III
This is for phone conversations right? I will be working from home so I need it to work perfectly
I'll sell you one. I got the Nocs NS200 but I accidentally got the one button (with mic) version instead of the 3 button that I wanted. Haven't even used them. Opened them up, was disappointed n put them back

You have no idea how WRONG you are.
Galaxy S 3 is one the most picky phones I've ever owned, it's almost as bad as the worst phone ever - LG Nitro HD.
Just go to your local RadioShack and ask them to test all available headsets, see how many of them will be 100% working (sound, mic, music and phone calls). I'll bet at least half of them will only work for music, some will work for phone calls only when plugged in AFTER call was established. Not to mention remote buttons...(I've done just that with 5 headsets they had that could be re-packaged, only one worked)
This is ridiculous. I've already contacted Samsung regarding this, they politely asked me to piss off. The SkullCandy headphone manufacturer also said "bad luck, come again".
Now using piece of sh.t off brand headset, which works perfectly, but with terrible sound.
SkullCandy FIX don't work, however "fake" SkullCandy FIX (black and white with only one button) work fine, but they lasted 1 week before wire broke.
Wired Headset with Microphone
You may want to try Klipsch s4A. It is especially made for Android phones.
im using urbanears bagis.. been using it during the s2 days and now on the s3.. mic works excellently and the earplugs produce excellent sound quality as well..

I'm using Skullcandy's FMJ on my S3. It has a one button mic and I am able to answer calls and end calls with it. Also when not used for calls, pressing it once will play the music player, pressing it twice would play the next song but I can't go back to the previous song though. Pretty much good for me already.
Erm, yeah same here.... Had the basic skull candy ink set, and now a similar set. Both have worked perfectly..... Cheap too at a tenner a pair.....

I am using the Sony XBA-2VP at the moment (right in the middle of Sony's line of balanced armature IEMs). The mike works well on calls as well as with Power Amp.
Wish Sony would release the XBA-3 or XBA-4 for Android (as they have for the iPhone)....
Kind regards
So far everyone who say this and that works fine, refer only to these in-ear type headsets. What about normal buds type, that don't go inside the ear?
