External Microphone - HTC One X

I was wondering if anyone would know about a great external mic that works with the One X, I was looking for something similar to this iphone one http://www.onsources.com/product_images/q/324/iphone_recorder__56380_zoom.jpg (3.5mm jack) but I actually want a bigger one with more premium sound quality. Couldn't find any on the market, I also don't know if they'll work with the One X...
Please help me, thanks

Just ordered a similar one today so should get it for Friday. Had one for my iPod but will take it as lost due to size. If it does work it will trick the phone into thinking the headphones are in. But if you are recording a band etc that shouldn't be a problem.

Travel speakers

Hi!
Hope you guys can help me.
I´m going out travelling next month and now i´m looking for some good travelling speakers for my Rhodium. I´ve been looking around, but the most i found are made for iPhone.
So now I´m asking if someone knows if it exists similiar for HTC?
And not the tiny ones with crappy sound?
Blutooth, usb, 3,5mm? Come with suggestions, please.
(Sorry for bad english)
[Edit]Someone tried the Altec Lansing inMotion IM4?
Most probably too late. I use Nokia MD-4 on my HTC. It's 3.5mm plug end. They are quite powerful for size, and sound nice. A huge improvement on my internal HTC speakers.
got creative travelsound they work ok if you don't want super loud sound

I got this one. This is by far the best portable speaker. It's very small yet you hear the bass (because of the extendable feature) perfectly and full.
I guarantee you that you won't regret buying this speaker.
By the way, my dad was able to get a newer version of this and it's now a dual speaker. I just don't know where to find one on the internet.
Also, beware of fakes, they don't last long

I haven't seen much beat these :
http://www.play.com/Electronics/Electronics/4-/9623066/X-Mi-X-Mini-II-2nd-Generation-Capsule-iPod-MP3-Speaker/Product.html
Each one under £14 and it really rocks! I bought one and most people who hear it are amazed by the loudness and the bass ability when you unscrew it. Very small (easily fits in the palm of your hand) and youcan daisychain them together with the built-in socket.
Does anyone know of a speaker system that does NOT require a 3.5 mm jack and plugs directly into the mini USB port?
I can go the other way, but if I had one less dongle to carry that would be good.
Thanks in advance.
If you want sth really weird, look here:

But, onto sth more serious: I dont think that MiniUSB can support speaker. It is data out only...

external microphone

hi, I've been going crazy looking for a budget videocamera with an external microphone when I thought about doing it with my smartphone.
what I need is to record singing classes so i'm not looking for a great video quality but i need a great audio.
I read some old thread about phones and external mics but i guess I'm not even close to get what I want. searching in google looks like external mics for smartphone don´t exist.
Does anybody can help me on this?
thanks in advance...
well, looks like I found what I was looking for. the mic is the edutige eim 003 and is easily pluggable on most of the android and ios devices...
this is the link on amazon. you will find as well a couple of reviews on youtube. being from Europe the cheapest price would be 48€ but in us it's worth 28€. enjoy
It's also possible to make an adapter with the semi-standard iPhone compatible 4 pin headphone / mic plug on one end and separate headphone and microphone jacks on the other. I made one with just some resistors, a capacitor, and audio cables that now lets me use dynamic microphones (or even weak line in signals) with my iPhone instead of the usual condenser microphones.

HTC Stereo Headphones

I am wanting a pair of white HTC headphones. I tend to use these when I travel because if I lose them I do not worry.
I can't seem to locate the model number of these. I have a pair of RC-190's already but I want to hear the sound difference.
Any help would be appreciated. I could call HTC but it's probably faster to get a response here

I want those headphones in particular that is pictured on the website.
Thanks.
get solo hd there awesome with the boom amp
I have a set of shure se530's and other ones. I just wanted a pair or pairs of lesser cost ones to have around.
I happen to like the oem HTC headphones for some reason. Sounds better than the beats audio i have too.

I've actually been wanting to get a pair of their stereo headphones myself, or the Bluetooth one. I found the OEM ones that came with the HTC One to be pretty good, although I broke my Klipschs. It may have sounded better because my expectations were low. If anyone has those stereo ones or the Bluetooth one please do let us know how it is.
These htc specific earphones are version / model "240" when you search. Will be on amazon. Sound is ok, similar to the bundled ones.... But the price is good and these and the urbeats are the only ones that are fully compatible with this phone as far as my research can tell (ie only these have ability to skip track and change volume - something I have sorely missed until I bought these to use with my phone.

How do the 190s sound? Good?

[Q] Quick lapel mic question

I have one of these cheap little things:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005DJOIHE?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o07_s00
...that I'm trying to use with my Note 4 using RecForge (or RecForge II). It doesn't work, (Actually I have 3 of them, none of them work.) so I did some research and found out that sometimes a TRRS adapter is needed so I got one of these:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00PK2LSEU?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00
...and it still doesn't work. It's like it doesn't even pic the attachment up at all. Internal mics still work fine, nothing from the external. I tried changing the input settings in the app already, made no difference.
I have some janky little Sony headset/mic combo thing laying around that DOES work, though. I would just use it but the mic in it sounds really bad and the cheap little lapel mic is supposed to sound pretty decent.
Anyone have any idea why the little lapel mic won't work, adapter or not, but some little headset will? Is there something unique about the Note 4's jack? Does anyone know a lapel mic that will work?
Any help appreciated.
Thanks!!

Headphone Jack Inconsistent

I got a brand new pair of earbuds (Brainwavz Delta something) and plugged them into my HTC 10.. they work fine for a bit then if I move the phone just right (or sometimes do nothing) the music stops, there's no longer a headphone icon in the status bar, and I have to unplug and plug them back in.. any idea what this may be caused by?
My Xiaomi Piston 3s worked fine with it, they just died in one ear :/
Edit** the headphones work fine with my Nexus 7, so it's not an issue of compatibility... unless the fact that it's a 3-ring plug (which should be fine, so were the pistons)
Same issue with headphone jack
I was using a pair of Fischer Audio Consonance Pro IEM's on my M8 and now 10 and experiencing the same issues. Songs skipping all over the place, starting, pausing, the OK Google app starting up and saying it couldn't hear what I said, or picking up something from what I am listening to. It is maddening. I love this phone so far, but this issue will drive me crazy if I can't be easily fixed.
It's as if the jack/plug is coming loose, since it fails to recognize the headphones until I unplug it and replug. It's very annoying, and seems to happen only if I tip the phone just the right way :/ hope it's not a hardware defect...
I have a feeling this is because of the edges, if you look at the headphones Jack it isn't flush the edge goes in a little thus you don't get 100% covered 3.5m lead.
Does seem worse in some headphones though

Any way to fix it? I love the quality, when it works...

Not really, the best way would be to get a very small 3.5m extension cable, one that isn't so sensitive,but you would only find out through trial and error. Or buy another set of headphones. For example my bose qc25 aren't to bad but a cheap sony set I have if I move abit they crackle.
Is the one bit of design htc messed up. If they would of moved it a few mm to the front and problem solved.
Surprised more people aren't moaning about it as one big points is the 24 bit audio.
Can we confirm that this is an issue across all HTC 10's and not just an unlucky few? I thought my phone might've been defected. 2 Beats headphones I have (got both as gifts) do not seem to work properly. But if I use other a plantronics headset I have, works just dandy. I'm afraid to buy any headphones not knowing which would or wouldn't work. This is not a good thing at all.
I have a Sol republic headphone with mic integrated and doesn't work properly on mine either. However, a friend of mine has a sol republic headphone too, and it works. I bought a panasonic tcm 125 and it works really well.. so IDK, I'm going to change the cable on my sol rep to see if that fix the problem.
Might be headphones with integrated control/mic which has the extra ring :/
Question: when does the issue happen for everyone else? Mine almost always acts up when I turn the screen off, maybe that has something to do with it
I can confirm this is NOT a wide spread issue, I even dropped my phone, not low enough to hang on the cord but enough movement to yank on it, I have messed with it, played around to see if I can make it have an issue, but no issue exists, its either an unlucky few or your headphones.
The only issue I have not related to this is my headphones I tested, the "Audio Technica ATH-M50" jack is too big to fit in the headphone jack while my phone has its case on (Spigen Neo Hybrid Crystal), taking the case off solves it, just barely not big enough cut out on the case for that model of headphones, regardless they don't sound as good as my IEM's so F em! lol
Have you guys tried other headphones or AUX cords? I don't have this issue anywhere, not via Headphones, not at my work on are speaker system, and not in my car via AUX.
So the actual shape or design of the headphone jack it self is NOT flawed like I noticed some have speculated.
I've been using my m50x or bose qc20's. Both work fine with no issues.
Pretty sure it's headphones with integrated controls for Apple devices that don't work. My jbl reflects which I use for running (3 rings) don't work if pushed all the way in. But my bose sound true work just fine. And the bose just so happen to be made for samsung and android devices. If I had some apple earpods around I'd test it but I'm thinking it's just headphones with integrated controls exclusively for Apple that might have issues.

Wish that were the case.. mine are specifically Android remote headphones :/
Experiencing similar issues with my Sennheiser Urbanite XL headphones. Seemingly random moments where the headphones seem to just disconnect with the slightest movement (or non-movement).

Hmmm you're right. My sisters htc 10 seemingly all headphones just do not to work. Might be a small batch issue. I'm thinking about exchanging out for another one because I have the yellow band issue on the bottom of the screen anyways. Really don't want to play the exchange game like I did with the nexus 6p especially since HTC doesn't have the same support Google does. Gonna exchange if I get a bad one twice I'm just returning this phone all together. Hate to see it go because this phone is gorgeous.

Ah I have the unlocked model and I modded it to use on Verizon. I had no problem replacing phones through verizon though. Switched out my s6 edge 4 times for free due to display and speaker issues. Of course you end up getting their certified like new device which may or may not bother you. But if it doesn't you can just go to a corporate store and show them some headphones won't work. Most likely they'll ship you one free of charge.

I'm not a huge fan of Verizon anyway.. parents are just too afraid to lose the coverage (T-Mobile is top of my list but they're not so convinced)
I accidentally whacked my headphone jack very lightly with the tip of my finger and now my headphones seem to randomly disconnect. It works fine with my aux cable, but with my headphones with a mic it seems this happens.
