Hello.
The Skullcandy FIX Bud headphones are the best headphones I've ever owned, however these headphones don't work with SGS3 (when trying dialing or answering a call, SGS3 looses connection to headphones, many apps don't even see the headphones at all, like skype. They work fine on SGS2...I've contacted Samsung regarding this and reply I got was basically saying "**** off")
So now I'm looking for wired headphones that have good sound quality (decent bass and not piercing high pitched sounds) with working mic (volume buttons are not necessary, but wouldn't hurt to have)
Noise canceling type (aka in-ear) are out of question, can't stand these. Also tried iphone type and they didn't have enough bass for my taste.
Any suggestion?
Thanks.

Dear great kernel modders,
For some reasons, Samsung does not allow stereo earphone (no mic) to hear phone calls (including normal call, video call, Tango).
Would it be possible to have a mod to enable a normal earphone to hear calls? In this way, I don't have to remove my earphone when a call comes in!
What I really want to do is to let earphone to listen call and have phone's mic for speaking.
(Yes, I know there are earphone with mic. But I cannot find a good quality and compatible with Galaxy S in my place. Bluetooth is not an option for its sound quality...)
Thanks guys!
Its not posible as far as its concerned (I think its a hardware design), What you CAN do is get hands on a Iphone > Nokia adaptor on ebay or whatever and use that and buy yourself some decent iphone headphones.
I'm looking forward to this feature as well. (This is the one thing I really miss from my Nexus One) I believe SuperCurio is working on it but it's pretty low priority. Drop him a line

I've tried the following 3.5 mm stereo headsets on my Galaxy S II but I still can't find one that fits my needs.
1. The in-ear Samsung headset that came with the handset - I don't like in-ear headsets for making calls
2. Samsung stereo headset (AAEP404) - The receivers complained of an annoying echo on calls
3. HTC RC RE160 - Volume was too low on calls so I couldn't hear the caller
Has anyone found a good headset that works with the Samsung Galaxy S II that isn't in-ear or Bluetooth and has good call quality and volume? The in-ear Samsung headset almost meets the requirements, as it has enough volume when on calls and there's no echo on the receiver's end, but I can't stand in-ear headsets while on a call.
If anyone has any ideas or suggestions I'd really appreciate it.
I tested the Blackberry mono 3.5mm headset and it worked well regarding the call management button and the audio levels.
I haven't tested the BB stereo headset, but I suppose it should work equally well.
Cheers for the reply. I'll have to look out for the Blackberry stereo headset so.
Yup. I tried the Tt esports Isurus and works like a charm.
Working with FM ?
Does one knows if one of them is working with radio app ?
coz this apps requires antenna found in the wire to the ears (checked on third contact line on jack).
thx in advance
Beats by Dre with control talk seem to work well with the SGSII I was actually shocked that it did.

Have you tried adjusting the volume using the Samsungs "secret" codes?
A tutorial for that can be found in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=741012

Both the Samsung and HTC stereo headsets I've linked to in my original post work perfectly fine with the default radio app on the Samsung Galaxy S II.
Okay, so I've bought an iPhone headset and a Blackberry stereo headset on eBay so I'll update the thread with my results. I've read, and heard, nothing but good things about the iPhone headset so here's hoping it's as great as people are making out. themissionimpossible, I certainly hope your theory is right that the Blackberry stereo headset will work as well as the mono one you tried...!
Blackberry mono headset works flawlessly as an antenna for the GS2 radio app.
The Sennheiser MM30i smart remote with mic works so far and sound quality is very good
Klipsch X10i - works perfectly, except the volume controls on the remote don't work, sound is AMAZING, FM works beautifully, call quality is great, though the mic is placed at the "V" and is therefore a bit low compared to others. Headset is extremely expensive.
Sennheiser MM70 with mic works perfectly. sound is good, FM works, same deal with the mic remote - middle button works for answer, drop, pause and skip, but volume buttons don't work. Not very expensive, but not giveaways either.
Shure headset with the Shure mic remote - mic remote works perfectly for pause, skip and cal answer/drop, but the mic is horribly placed unless you use the clip. It's also a heavy brute. They have their newer modular system that has the mic inline on the cord that plugs from the buds to the player directly - that might work better. Sound is based on whichever Shure bud set you run. Expensive to extremely expensive.
All of the above sets are loud enough to watch non-DRC'd movies on public transportation.
iPhone headset - bllleeeaaaaargh. Simply atrocious sound quality and volume levels.
What I'm really looking for is some sort of audio input, whether it be inline mic built into headphones or a bluetooth headset, that is good at noise canceling, but I want it relatively cheap. I'm not expecting anything extraordinary, but I don't want the sound of the wind screwing up the call from my end.
I don't mean something that blocks external sound from entering my ears, I want a mic that will record clear audio despite the wind during my otherwise quiet walks.
Sony DR-BT10CX
Bulky, ugly and quite pricy but Extremely good audio quality(par with SH!), superb noise cancelation and long lasting battery.
I own one of these, and they are damn good.
Hello everyone,
So I recently got HOX and when I'm listening to music through in-ear headphones with an in-line mic the sound quality is really bad, somewhat dull and "incomplete". However, the sound quality gets back to normal when you hold the mic control button on the headphones or unplug the cable extension with in-line mic, or simply use another pair of headphones without a mic . Surprisingly enough, the same thing happens with bundled headphones. So I wonder if there is something wrong with settings or some other fault.
Thanks for any advice in advance.
I am looking for a bluetooth headset with loudness. I need wireless headset but with good sound. Please suggest me the best bluetooth heaset for music. I require loud music level and not soft music. I know that bluetooth headset does not have loud volume but if anyone can suggest me loudest of all available in the market it would be helpful. My main purpose is music and not calls. Wired headphones are very difficult to listen to music. I had few options
1: Sony SBH 80
2. LG Tone HBS 750 or 800
3. Plantronics Back beat
4 Motorola S11
Any headset would do for me as far as it has loudness. I have checked reviews for all but no where they mention loudness of the device
As far as my experience goes and giving that probably there's no mention of sensibility in the specs, I would go for IEM's. The speaker is closer to the eardrum and there's also the added benefit of phonic insulation.
It seems no one is ready to suggest me I was expecting reply frm ppl using from any of above models mentioned.
I reviewed in this forum a lot of wireless bluetooth headsets (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2192333), including HBS-730, HBS-800, BlueBudsX, BackBeat 2, Sync by 50, ROX, and Pump HD. They all sounded equally loud. With wireless connection you have two levels of volume control, using volume on BT headset (about 7-8 clicks) and volume on your phone. Sometime people forget to adjust volume on their phone. Also, making it very loud distorts the sound, bt headsets have their limitations.
Among the one I tested, BlueBudsX, BackBeat2, and ROX all have good sound. I prefer ROX. HBS-800 is also great, but it's more conservative looking, not for extreme activities.

Kindly suggest me one brand that I can purchase straight away. It is very difficult to check reviews and ten go buy one. I want a direct answer to take one. I want to know about HBS 800 ....I heard that the loudness is reduced in 800 compared to 730/750 is it true or it is equally loud as the previous models ?

Equally loud, and in HBS-800 they updated drivers to use premium one from JBL. Much better sound. HBS-800 is all around great bluetooth headset since it sits around your neck, has extra long battery life, all dedicated controls, good phone call quality, and with a right selection of eartips the sound quality is pretty good. You can also do some running around with it, just no crazy jumping For sports and exercising, I like ROX better, but sounds like you better off with HBS-800.
I have and enjoy a Philips SHB4000/28. They are on-the-ear, light, run long enough, comfortable, and sound fine. I mostly use for podcasts, but they are fine with casual music listening. If you like on-the-ear (I don't like in-ear), then I recommend them for their price.
anyone know of any of these headsets that has no earphones included, meaning you can use your own?
I've seen plenty but they all seem to use the older bluetooth standards that had very low quality.
I reviewed one from Antec (check my sig with review links), but it was an old BT standard and sound quality even with my best headphones was crappy So far, I haven't found any bt receivers without headphones with a high quality sound. Often, companies fine tune headphones and receiver and use either their own proprietary DSP decoding or aptX with BT4.0 - that's why the best wireless sound quality available only from a "bundle" of receiver and headphones, for now...
I have the hbs 750..bad bass ...also had 700 and 730 both lost volume over time
