Headphones with full controls?

I hope someone here can help...
I know there are quite a few topics about headphones around, but i am looking for something specific and i am having no luck.
basically i am looking for 3.5' earbuds for the evo with mic/controls(pick/hang up, skip, back) AND volume controls.
it seems almost impossible to find any with both of these things. it's like you have to choose either one or the other.
any help would be greatly appreciated!

Doubt this will help all too much, but...
My headphones that came with my Palm Pre (single in-line button) are what I generally use if I'm not using my stereo bluetooth head set.
I use Mixing media player as I find the stock music player lacks button functionality (unless I'm just dumb and don't know how to use it).
One click, pause music. Two clicks, advance track. Three clicks, previous track/ restart track.
If while wearing just standard click to answer phone call.
I like the sound quality from the headphones, provides nice highs and lows.

I would however, like a better set of headphones and I continue to look lol more designed with HTC in mind.

well i finally found what i was looking for after many hours of searching...
HTC Wired Remote Control Stereo Headset
that real kicker is that they don't work for the evo. doesn't make sense to me...

It makes the most sense that they are not compatible for the EVO... What'chu talkin'bout?!? lol
But seriously, wtf is up with that? lol

THIS is what you need to be getting.

nice! i'll check them out.
i'm really disliking the ones i got, but i guess that's what you get for $10.

I use the ALTEC Lansing backbeat 903 headset which has buttons for play, pause, stop, forward, reverse, answer/end and volume. Works fine for my movies and music. They are blue-tooth and last about 6 hours of continues use watching movies or listening to music. last a few days if I turn them off between calls. I love them.

Seconded man... I like how yours are yellow accented (or is that just a design mock up?).
Are you noticing any odd fitment after using them though? Like my right ear phone thing will not stay put.

That was just a pic off the net but mine look exactly like those.
They fit fine still for me but I did loose one of the ear pices once, called them up and they sent me 2 new sets for free.

Earphones with volume control and play/pause?

I know I saw a link before of the htc earphones on amazon but I wanted to get some more people's input. What are the best quality earphones for the evo with all the right controls?

i have the HTC ones from amazon. i can't stand them.
the only other ones i know of are the zagg smart buds.
mine should be here monday. i hear they are pretty good.
the volume control isn't digital, but it's the best i could find to work with the evo.
i believe today is the last day they are on sale if you are interested. they are regularly $80, but are down to $50. use the coupon code holiday40 to make them $30.

I see, cause I do workout and stuff so I don't want something that still always fall out.

i use older ipod touch headphones the ones with the mic and buttons. the buttons dont function with the evo but there loud crisp and awesome. gf doesnt know im using them

Lol I loved those the best if only they could work that way.
Swyped from my HTC EVO 4G via xda app

holiday40 code did not work

I have these:
Altec Lansing UHS306 SnugFit Earphones with Microphone
All of the controls work properly, but I'm not really impressed with the sound quality or the build quality. They are OK, but not great.
Also, I snagged them from Buy.com for $9.99, and feel they were worth that price, but would have felt ripped off @ $90.

Just go with the Ultimate Ears. They are awesome.

Do they have a pause button?

Also you guys should try this app: RemoteControl for Earphones
This app enables remote control operation like iPod.

I use Klipsh Image s4 (amazing earphones, voted best by many sites) and it has no buttons, but the Klipsh Image s4a (android version of s4) are suppose to have andrdoid controls. here's the link http://www.klipsch.com/image-S4A-headphones

picked up these skull candy fmj which dont have volume control but do have play pause next track and previous track but its button pushes not seperate buttons aka one pause two for next three for prev...
but has a mic too which is really nice for phone calls actually dont even put my phone up to my ear around the house i'll usually grab them and plug them in and then answer
http://www.skullcandy.com/shop/full-metal-jacket
i recommend checking out amazon too i picked them up for 25 bucks over the 70 dollar retail
and they are metal so they are pretty tough
i have had shures seinheissers, and monsters and these sound honestly just as good as those for being much cheaper (if on sale i guess )

Earbuds and Headphones IEM

Just a quick question err reassure me before i buy that i need to buy a set with 3 pin layout right?
Are all the 3 pin layouts the same ie.. if i find one with the 3 it will work?
Like say this...
hxxp://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/71Dr9lqKKJL._AA1500_.jpg
I want to buy these but i really don't know if they work or not...
hxxp://www.amazon.com/Atomic-Earphones-Microphone-iPhone-Compatible/dp/B002RWJDB6/ref=acc_glance_e_ai_purchase_similarities_t_4
Please any and all help and criticism welcome too...

I won't comment on the pins but if you're replacing the stock earphones for better sound quality, these will not give it. I have not listened to these but I have to a higher-end model of JBuds and they sound worse than stock.

The JVC Air Cushions on Amazon for 16-20$ are amazing, especially with PowerAmp app and listening to Techno/Electronic/House music, as well as everything else. I bought a 75$ pair of NuForce 700X IEMs and they sounded the same as my 20$ JVC Air Cushions.

Compatibility question
I have been searching far and wide for compatible in-ear headphones with a mic.
Looking at the pinout differences between the iphone and most android phones, I was very disappointed in what is available. The GND and MIC signals are reversed for many popular android phones compared to the iphone headset pinout. However, the other day, I plugged my friend's iphone headset into my captivate... AND IT WORKED!! I was shocked! I tried my headset in her iphone and that also worked.
Does this mean that iphone headsets work with the captivate? I would just love it if the headset and mic worked. Buttons would be nice, but you can't have everything.
Does anyone have experience with the Klipsch S4i or the Ultimate Ears 500vi with their captivates?

I have experience with the Ultimate Ears TripleFi 5vi on the Captivate and it works, so I'd imagine that extends to all iPhone compatible headsets. I checked out the 500vi and those use diaphragm rather than balanced armature drivers, even though they are not that different in price. I really suggest going for the pair with the better drivers, as there will be a drastic difference in sound quality.

If anyone cares...
Ok this is what i found in the I9000 forum hope it works for what i want...
Ebay link paid $13 shipped from UK...
This is what i want from it Vol up down button and mic...

These earbuds...are the cord lengths of equal length or is one cord shorter than the other? I hate that around the back of the neck crap. I hate how manufactures and retailers never explicitly tell you.

I have the S4, but I'm interested in trying the S4i. Anyone have an answer for jjojjojoe's question?

Etys
The Etymotic HF2 work great with the Captivate and the quality is great.
By the way, has anybody tried the HF3? They don't work with some Android phones with I haven't found anything about the Captivate.

Play/pause music with in-line mic control button
Lots of headphone/mic threads, so wanted to bump one with recent activity to ask a question.
I recently upgraded to GB, was listening to music with a seat of headphones with an in-line mic. I paused the song using the control button on the mic, had a conversation, and when I clicked the mic button again...nothing. The button would only begin playing the paused song if the screen was on. I tried several different lock screens, music players, widgets etc. No matter what, I experienced this functionality:
1. Music is playing
2. Screen times out after X minutes, or I turn if off with a click of the power button
3. 1 click from the in-line mic button will pause the music
4. If I click again within ~5 seconds, the music will begin to play again
5. If I wait 5-10+ seconds before clicking, the music will not start again with a single click until after I turn the screen back on again.
I’m almost 99% sure that this wasn’t the case on my old Froyo-based ROM, so I wanted to check in to see if this is just standard for everyone.
Thanks!

Headphone jack compatibility

So i tried using three different headphones with two almost new s2s (mine and my gfs), it seems that none of the headphones can get solid connections with either phones, they either have to be kept at a certain angle/position or need to pressed down to actually hear sound.
Can anyone confirm this? Does the headphone jack get best compatibility with samsung products only? Not that I use my phone to listen to music but this is pretty irritating.

Look for a right angle connector or adapter. It is best for things like phones to prevent damage to the jack.

I have a in-ear headphone from HP with the inline mic... I don't have the problem with audio cutting out. I do have problem with the mic volume sounding faint at other end. I need another headphone/mic unit. Any suggestions welcome. No BT - I need in ear for noise reduction and also listening to podcasts.

None of my headphones can go in all the way, theres always a bit of the metal outside. I tried it with both t989 that I have access to. I don't think it's just my machine.. anyone verify?

You might have gotten something stuck inside your jack.
My plugs insert all the way...

are you using a case?

I thought i was having a problem with my porta pros, then when I tried them without my case on I could see it wasn't in all the way.
It took quite a bit of force to snap it in the rest of the way then it worked just fine.

IPhone headset works on Nexus?

Hello,
I am searching for a new pair of reasonable quality earphones for my nexus.
The main goal is to use them to listen to music and the occasional videos.
It word also be nice if they had a mic to be able to use the earphones in phone calls too.
So, does an earphone with mic for the iphone like the DREX300IPB from Sony work with the nexus?
Thanks.
Cheers.

I think so. I will have to go to a store and check.
There are also models for iPhone with controls to stop/play, forward/reverse, mic and such.
Do does work with android?

Doubt all the multimedia buttons will work, but you just have to try
Swype'ed on my CM10 Galaxy Nexus

The answer is yes.
However, volume buttons don't work, but the calling/play control button works.

There are 2 standards that exist, iPhone headset, and standard mobile phone headset with in line mic which 99% of phones support. Nexus supports the normal standard, not the iPhone standard. Just buy the standard one.
Example, Bose MIE2 or Bose MIE2i. There is always both options. Just buy the right one.

Thank you for the explanation.
However, I seem to find far more models with mic and controls that say that are made for idevices. The choice seems to be greater and so I was wondering of they would work at all on the nexus.

Just one more question.
Do the beats by Dre for HTC sensation work on the nexus? The Mic and the play controls?
