Hello,
I've bought the SGS2 a few days ago. The headphones have a quite nice sound.
Although play/pause and next track aren't OK for me. I'd need a possibility to
control the volume.
Could you pls recommend an alternative (and a wide spread one , so I could find
that also in my country) wired headset, which would support also volume control
on the SGS2.
I have been searching on this forum, but I didn't find a clear answer, rather just
workarounds or talks about workarounds...
Thank you!
Not sure myself on what you could do, but you could try using JKay's app (must be purchased through play store and have framework) to enable "Volume Buttons Toggle Sound" maybe that might fix your problem? I have wired earphones myself with the mic and volume bit and I can change volume by pressing and change track by holding in.
Hopefully maybe someone else will post something helpful but this is what I would do. Good luck!

Hello D3_ and thanks for your reply...
Your link points to a different topic - it is about people who want to keep the microphone of S2 and want to attach another headphones
(which don't have a microphone). I just accidentally found a semi-solution for me - I just looked at the S3 headphones of a friend and I
was very surprised to find out, that there are 3 buttons - one long button for volume + / - and another button for accepting phone calls.
I have immediately tested it and everything works under AstroPlayer, which is the player I'm currently using.
But unfortunately not everything is that simple as it sounds. It seems that Samsung makes these headphones only in white, as my
friend's one are white, despite of the fact that his phone is pebble blue. And my SGS2 is noble black, so you can imagine that I
wouldn't want white headphones :-/
I'll try to check Nokia headphones these days...
I have the white ones, as they came with my Galaxy Tab 7 +.
Apart from being white (and I'm not snobbish enough to really care), they're perfect.
Great sound quality, volume controls & on/off/skip track functionality...
Get a HTC RC E160 wired headset, all buttons work (though the left and right buttons changed function when I upgraded from GB 2.3.5 to ICS 4.0.3; they were skip in GB, but they became volume with ICS). I cut the earpieces off one set and soldered a 3.5mm stereo inline jack socket in their place so I could use nicer headphones with Mic and headset controls.

I personally LOVE Jay's headsets. I've got a pair of the A-JAYS earbuds with remote and in line mic, awesome sound quality, but my model has a one button remote. No big deal, their companion Android application provides additional functionality that let's you click&hold and do other patterns for different functions like volume and seeking. I do know they make a 3-button version too, but typically it costs $20 more. Available online in North America and most of Europe.

darkstar wrote just few posts above yours he has a pair.
I have a-JAYS One+ and I can not say anyhting bad about them. Great sound clarity and good basses, can be tweaked as to press/doublepress timing etc with their free apk which provides multiple options for controlling them better. Simply great piece of earphones. Mic is working great too. and above all, tangle free cable and great chinch is giving great user experience for me too.
Either these or more expensive versions will do, though Klispch S2 are great (tried them out, but settled with a-JAYS) etc... I tossed original earphones in the trash, seeing total failure Samsung is exercising when they include such POS with so high end phone. Same goes for S3, even though you see people posting how great those are. It is not so for me, and I tried them just to be sure I'm right. 3 of my friends has these with their SGS3 and I tried them - shallow sound with no good fidelity for me (phone calls are ok, but calling party is sounding like cheap radio for me). Well, guess what? They tried my a-JAYS One+, Creative Aurvana buds too, my Sony MDR-Z700 (original) headphones and even my old SE in_ear HPM70 short corded buds - all far better then POS Samsung is including with their top gamma phones.

I'm using a set of etymotic headphones designed for iphones and my mic doesn't work either. I think there is a small converter you can plug in between the phone and the headset that should make it work, but I don't need to use the mic and haven't really looked into it.

Same problem. It seems that headphones with the 3 button apple control do not work (mic + buttons except for the center button sometimes) and they don't even allow the phone's microphone to work while plugged in. I have used apple headphones and klipsch image s4i's.
The center button works fine for me. It's the only one that does. Using CM9, not sure if that makes any difference.
I use Klipsch Image S4A
best headphone for me so far
klipsch s4a
I had the intention of picking up the klipsch s4i when i was in bestbuy. The one i never go to happened to have the s4a which i did not know about. I've only had them a few hours but the main issue is finding a working remote, install the klipsch app and you can customize what the buttons do! Amazing headphones once again from klipsch, worth every bit of $45 premium sound and a android compatible remote with mic. I highly recommend them.

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. The headphones are really good themselves. I would have posted the links, but since I'm new I gotta wait. But I hope it helps

Anyone know a cable converter that will work for the Galaxy S3 (like this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/3-5mm-iPhon...e-Samsung-HTC-LG-/140574981373#ht_3686wt_1163)
I have Klipsch S4i headphones that have volume control for the iPhone only. I want to use these headphones with FUNCTIONAL volume control with the Galaxy S3.
If you find one, let me know. This is one of my major gripes with Samsung. I managed to get headphones working with my Samsung Galaxy S using a Nokia headphone remote control, but this doesn't work on the SIII.
Why can't they just use the same standard as everyone else.
Or possibly sell an adaptor, and educate their store staff - went to the popup Samsung store in Spitalfields Market (London) today and they had no idea what I was talking about. The sales assistant finally admitted that his headphones don't work with his S2 either. But was clueless as to how to help.
?!?!
this i would really like!
i`ve got a pair of beats headphones and they did not work at all with my first sgs
but now with the s3, the centre button works, answering calls, pausing and skipping tracks, and the mic also works, but the volume doesn`t...
Yeah the S4i also has a working center button but no functioning volume control (which is what I mostly use...don't really care about a mic)
The other adapter I looked at is called Fiio LU2 but I have not seen anyone specifically use it for the SG3.

Yeah, I wont mind paying $30 to get my Pro's working properly with my sweet phone..
Hmm...the ones that come with the S3 have volume control. I hope some headphone manufacturers can reverse-engineer it. I think it has to do with how the parts of the jack are arranged. Because I know on the iPhone the ground part is switched.

While I was in Samsung country last month (Seoul), I went to a few headphone/audio retail shops which let you test out almost ANY brand of headphones you'd like--and apparent this has been a big issue for Samsung users (since most volume control + mic headphones out there are built to work for and certified for use with Apple). One method they taught me (aside from rooting and hacking ROMs), was to download this app called "JAYS". This app will somehow allow the microphones to work on many brands (I use Sennheisers personally) whereas it would not work before due to the different in impedance. The app also creates shortcuts using the working center button, allowing short/long keypresses to do quite a lot (i.e. short press + long press will lower volume, double short press will skip tracks, etc) by turning the center button (which works on MOST headphoens) into a morse code-like button.
I have yet to find a ROM out there that allows my Sennheisers (MM80i, MM70i) to work with the volume buttons, but I've been happy with the JAYS app.
Hey folks, quick question...
Does anybody out there knows if Sony's line of IPhone-compatible headsets is also compatible with the SGS2? Particularly the DR-EX61iP (image attached).
I've always been quite a fan of Sony's in-ear earphones and I use them with my S2, but I've always missed the very handy mic and button than comes with the stock earphones shipped with the S2 (which, in my personal opinion, are decent earphones, but lack the audio quality that Sony earphones have) and I've noticed some of these headsets Sony has been manufacturing exclusivelly for the IPhone/IPad/IPod line.
Now, the only reason why I'm asking you guys is that here in Brazil there is only one model of Sony headset available by an absurd price (the DR-EX12iP, around R$ 100,00 or US$ 50,00) and I've been thinking about importing the DR-EX61iP, which, with brazilian customs, will probably take a while to get here...
So, I've been wondering if anybody out there has ever tried one of these Sony IPhone-compatible headsets with our SGS2 and checked if at least the earphones work properly as well as the mic and the central (or "home") button - I don't really care about the volume control...
Thanks in advanced...

Thanks mate. Since I never had any contact with urbeats, HTC or Nocs headsets or headphones before (quality-wise, I mean) I'll look into Sony's Smart Headset for purchase online. Since Amazon won't ship the DR-EX61iP to Brazil and it is not available here, I'll look into it a bit further before purchasing it on eBay.
If in the end I decide to try the DR-EX61iP, I'll let you know if at least the mic and the central function button work (I've done some research and for what I've read, the volume buttons probably won't work, but that's OK, my S2 is always in my pocket)

Hey folks, just want to let you all know. Sony's DR-EX61iP is compatible with our beloved SGSII. The mic and central buttons work like a charm, but the volume buttons do NOT (then again, a wired headset is almost always close in arm's reach). My guess is that all of the Sony "IPhone-exclusive" headsets aren't all that much exclusive and may work with our SGSII as well.
One thing I was quite pleased is that PowerAmp also works well with it (my guess is it works well with all compatible headsets, though)...
Anyway, I just wanted to shared this with you all.
Best regards.

I can confirm that, i've been buying headphones meant for iphone/ipod and had no problem with the middle button. Of course, for reasons given by thelastred, volume up and volume down do not work. This being said, i have heard that there are headsets with volume down and volume up working on sgs3 (made by samsung afair). I was wondering if these work on sgs2 as well. in fact, it would be cool to list headsets with volume up/down working with sgs2.
(if a thread like this exists, sorry for this ;D)

This should work for the galaxy s 2&3
- urbeats (skip buttons are volume up and down)
- htc beats solo (skip buttons are volume up and down)
- Sony smart headset
- Nocs NS200H-001
Nokia purity in ear and hd
Also htc And samsung stock work as well
I am using sony ericsson's MW600 bluetooth headset. play/pause, forward, rewind, volume, call button all works in my cMIUI ICS s2.
The only problem is the oled display is not displaying the song name/artist. Always unknown.
The bundled earphones have one button on the mic. This can only pause the track or answer calls, it cannot change the track or change the volume.
Are there any relatively cheap tried and tested earphones for this lovely phone... It would make listening to music so much more hassle free.

What about this one http://www.htconeaccessories.net/htcthtceoneonoenoevxxvsxv-8.html
These are meant to be best sound quality for under £100, some say its even as good as £100 IEM!
Best thing is they are under £50.

I got those, but you cant change volume with those. Even tho there are buttons for it. But those Headphones are mainly made for Apple Hardware
With the default HTC Music Programm you also cant change songs with those headphones, but i got PlayerPro from playstore. In PlayerPro you are able to change the buttons of the headphones. But not all buttons :crying:
So i am able now to play/stop and skip to next song or skip 1 song back.
But i have to say the sound which is imo more important when it comes to headphones is very nice. I dont regret the buy at all.

you keep saying HTC phones..sound quality will never be as good as ones I posted. Buttons may work better but sound is more important.

Let the OP decide what is more important. He clearly wants a pair of headphones with track change buttons as stated in the title.

The Sennheiser IE 8i In-Ear are very nice ... :good:
All, as far as I can tell, maybe no earphones or apps will allow me to change track via a button on the earphones......Maybe that is just the way the HTC one is setup.
..... I have tried a couple of earphones and a couple of apps that allow button assigning for the mic button, but every time when I double click on the button, it does not go to the next track, it just dials the last called number.
Please mention if you have a HTC One(not any other HTC phone) and are actively able to change track and then specify which special earphones and/or app you are using on this phone?
Many thanks

Definitely works with htc with track change
Hi All,
I have been investigating this issue for a long long time. Back with the HTC Hero you used to be able to get a "remote" that you could plug any headset you want into, but it plugged into the data connector slot. That doesnt seem to be possible any more.
What definitely does work is the Beats by Dre (UrBeats) VERSION 1. I have been told the new version two with flat ribbon cable doesnt work on HTC but you can pick up a version one set of beats. I think I may test this theory myself though because they look very similar.
You can usually pick up the original Beats by Dre for around $50 and they sound ok, not great, but ok. They originally came with HTC Sensation XE and other phones at the time. They are FAR better than the HTC branded headphones that come with the phones these days, but they arent great.
Every other brand of headphone ive tried the controls have not worked properly including the Klipsch image s4a and Jays ones. For some reason HTC doesnt like their button controller software and third party software doesnt work either, even the apps for HTC redial fix (the problem is that multiple button presses cause the HTC to redial last number instead of, for example, change track). As far as I know the ONLY solutions available if you want to track change is the Beats v1 (make sure you dont get iBeats, they dont work) or the HTC store ones with the track change button.

If anyone has any updates on this and can point me to something better, I will be on it like a shot!
ON HTC ONE SV WITH BEATS BY DRE (v.1), 32GB SANDISK CLASS 10 SD, JB 4.2.2, SENSE 5 (stock OTA ROM)
I've been using jay birds now for over a year, on my htc evo, then on my one. They are bluetooth, have volume control,
can change the tracks back and forth and answer phone calls. Pretty decent sound too.
Every feature you want and they all work.
I've been searching for a while now and after buying and trying numerous pairs, these are the only ones that give you decent sound AND let you control the volume, skip, back and other functions like they are supposed to.
I have http://www.amazon.com/Beats-urBeats-In-Ear-Earbud-Headphones/dp/B00ECQ6ORQ and they work great. Can skip forward/back, pause, take calls. The sound quality is very good, seem to have good balance with highs and bass. The mic works well, too, and seems to have some noise-cancelling qualities. Callers that I've asked said the sound is very good even when I'm in a windy or noisy environment.
Not as good as UrBeats

These are not as good as the Beats by Dre (UrBeats) for HTC in my opinion, have you compared? Sound quality is lower in the official HTC site ones, although they sit slightly better in my ear. Maybe just my opinion, anyone care to comment?

Yes these seem to be our only real option beside official HTC rubbish at the moment. I am taking a risk and trying out the UrBeats v2 which should arrive this week, in the hope they work like UrBeats v1 (that you have linked above). If they work too I will let you know. They do look quite a lot like the official HTC ones though, on the one hand seems promising on the other hand, hope the drivers are better.

Thanks for the suggestion and may use it as a last resort if you say it works, but I am averse to bluetooth audio because the bandwidth is low (i believe the same as radio quality) so normally doesnt sound great (the same reason bluetooth speakers are a bad idea as I understand it). Looking for a good old wired version.
---------- Post added at 12:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:35 PM ----------
It has ocurred to me (and I have done similar mods before) that you used to be able to buy a calbe with mic/controls on it that you could plug any old headphones into with a normal jack, and it just had a normal jack port at the end of the line.
Can anyone think of any reason that taking a cheap pair of HTC headphones with inline mic/controller and chopping off the buds and soldering on a normal jack wouldnt work? Seems like that could almost be a small business if it does (just a controller with headphone jack mod), since we are reduced to so few options as HTC users, and few of them have decent sound quality....
Might give it a go and let you know...have a few spare pairs of HTC controller headphones around...
beats by dre
Most beats by dre are compatible with HTC 3.5 mm jacks. Apple products do not work because the jacks are made differently, so there is nothing you can do :/ The app Headphone button control on play store can help you reassign buttons. good luck

Not all Beats by Dre are button-compatible. They must specifically state they are for Android or HTC. Many of the discounted Beats phones you find online are only compatible with Apple products. I've noticed that if the control pod (the block on the wire where the buttons/mic are located) is shaped like a diamond, it is ONLY Apple compatible. If it is a slim straight cylinder, then it is likely Android/HTC compatible.
