S4i headphones, mic, and button work on the note 2 - AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II

I thought one of the hardships of switching from my iphone to the note 2 would be the incompatibility of the headphones I bought that have a built in mic and controls.
I read that the klipsch S4i headphones weren't compatible with the GS3, so I figured it would be the same with the note2.
NOPE! The center button on the headphones works to pause and play music, and the mic works for making calls, talking to Google Now, and recording voice memos. One glitch though, if I activate Google Now by long pressing the Center button, the headphone mic doesn't work. However if I activate Google Now with the search widget the mic works...

I have a Bowers & Wilkins C5 which was for my iPhone. I was sad that it's not compatible with original Note, but it works with Note 2 as what exactly you said. All controls work including mic but a little glitch with Google Now, which is not a big deal. I'm very happy because I like my C5 sound. Love Note 2!

The issue is the long press is baked to Google Now and there is nothing you can do to change that, at least until it bothers a dev enough to investigate.
There's an app called Headset Button Controller in Google Play which adds ability to quadruple-press the headset button for volume controls. What the command does is changes the volume to a preset amount (e.g. 20%) and progressively ramps up the volume to max (e.g. 100%). You can change the rate the volume increases.

Get the image S4A model instead. Same thing but designed for android. I have a pair of meelectronics M11P+'s on their way which are very highly regarded over at head-fi (as an android headset). Wouldn't call either set "audiophile" quality exactly. But they're both very solid iems if you must have a mic/remote.
I had image S4's in the past and was quite happy with the sound for the price.

Center button is fine though, BUT, clicks also register as input from the microphone
The center button works like it should though..
I wonder if klipsch will give me S4A II's in exchange if i complain :/

U do know there's really no difference in them but the volume controls. The android version have one button. I bought some monster isport, Mic works and they done fall out during workouts like my s4a did, perfect

http://store.sony.com/webapp/wcs/st...10151&langId=-1&productId=8198552921666489339
Saw these Sony earbuds (I love my Sony MDR EX38 - it's really made for the iPhone but I bought it for the audio drivers and the built-in mic, pause, play and skip track by double-tapping the middle button -- built-in volume controls don't work on non-iPhone devices). Had it for a couple of years now. The item above looks promising. It says it works with Android products.

Does anyone know if the Bose MIE2i will work with the Note II? They have a center button and two separate volume control buttons.

For anyone who happens upon this thread I hope this post can save you some money and get you a better headset for your hard earned dollars than what the likes of monster/beats/bose/etc. offer. It's not that they're "bad" per se but you're usually paying $100-$500 for headphones that get destroyed by sets that cost $20-$100, all because they have their marketing/branding machines running around the clock convincing everyone they're the best.
Here's a list of headsets with android compatible controls that can be had for $30-$65
Meelectronics M11P+ --- $54.99 MSRP --- $30 - $40 on amazon
These are the ones I just grabbed for myself. Based on everything I've read, these offer the best overall sound quality in this list and they are some the most comfortable IEMS (in ear monitors) you'll ever wear. In the end, comfort was the decideing factor for me because there will be days where I have these in for 10 hours+
Meelectronics SP51P --- $69.99 MSRP --- $40 - $50 on amazon
These came a close second for me and I almost bought them. Overall sound quality is apparently very close to the M11P+ but they offer 3 interchangeable ports you can screw on to the back to change the sound. You get "Natural", "Enhanced Bass", and "Extreme Bass". Reviews are somewhat mixed but most agree that the natural port lives up to it's name and the enhanced bass port should be very pleasing to most people. The extreme bass port, on the other hand is WAYYYY over the top and delivers a sound closer to what you'd get from a pair of beats. Some people would ovbiously love this but it's not my cup of tea because it ruins the mids and highs. Still, you're essentially getting 3 pairs of IEMS for $40-$50.
Klipsch Image S4A --- $99.99 MSRP --- $65 - $80 on amazon
Ok, everyone is aware of these. This was the last set I owned and I was very happy with them. These are also extremely comfortable thanks to Klipsch's patented oval ear tips. They are the most comfortable IEMS I've ever tried and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anybody if they needed a set with some brand appeal. That being said, they are definitely over priced. Better sound can be had for less. However, as this thread demonstrates, there aren't a lot of other options available for android if you just want to walk in to a store and buy a set.
JAYS a-Jays One+ --- $59.99 MSRP --- $30 - $40 on amazon
These are a pair of bass heavy 'phones. They aren't my cup of tea but I include them for all the beats lovers out there. a-Jays > Beats according to TONS of people and they cost $30 a pair. 'Nuff said.
Do Your Research...
There are tons of other options out there. If you give a **** about quality sound and/or your wallet, I strongly encourage to head over to head-fi.org and do some research on any headphones you may be considering before you buy.

Headphones /w Mics (Ibeats)

I figured I let my loss be to the benefit of the forum. I bought the dre ibeats can confirm that they do not work with the Atrix at all. i also have the first generation beats by dre that don't work as well. I know there are newer models of the large ones so I don't know if it would be the same for all of them. I am getting the bose MiE2 later tomorrow, and i will tell you guys if they work. If any one else has tried getting high quality sounding headphones to work with the Atrix please chime in.

Lol I'm not trying to be a troll or anything but Bose and Beats By Dre are NOT high quality sounding headphones. Try some Klipsch or Shure.
Best way to no troll is simply to say what headphones you think are better. maybe say why and provide a model number for people to look it up. Thanks in advance if you take the time to provide the information. I think it would prove very constructive to the thread.
P.S. After some preliminary searching the shure's that would work are the 100 series and are of lower quality. I used to have 200 series. The Klipsch are pretty much the same. All the best ones only control apple products. I'm hoping to be proven wrong so i can buy great headphones.
Hmm.... i don't recall the headphone jack actually supporting a microphone input as well. Mind if i ask why you're searching for such headphones?
Not sure if they have any headphones with a microphone.... but i'm quite fond of Sennheiser's offerings. I have the CX 300 noise cancelling earbuds, and while i don't use them very often for listening to music (Unlike the odd people i see driving down the highway with the telltale white earbuds in their ears.... idiots... both for the obvious reasons, and because Apple's earbuds blow), the times i do i really enjoy them. They sound great.

I'll take a look. To answer your question. I take public transit to and from college. I hate hearing people on the train. I also hate the interruption of a call where I have to take off my studio headset. I would rather have a small pair that allow to answer the call, and then get back to what I was doing quickly.
Guys seems that this headset works with Atrix..

I can confirm that the RF3 ENVi Natural Wood Stereo Earbuds microphone works with the Atrix. Very good sound quality as well, better than some Klipsch s2s I had!
I can confirm that the bose mie2 doesn't work either.

His app seems to work for me. Using Altec Lansing uhp336 (rebadged Ultimate Ears Super.fi 3) with the cable for the Ultimate Ears Triplefi 10vi and the button and mic appear to work.
They aren't the top of the line, but the mic on these skullcandy Full Metal Jacket headphones work well for me. w ww.skullcandy.com/shop/fmj-shoe-blue.html
And they sound great for the price.
I'll probably use them very rarely and would like something cheap (<$15). Any suggestions?

Just so you know, on the skullcandy headphones, you'll need the headphone button control app for the in-line headphone button to control your music.
FYI, tested BOSE MIE2i headset - mic works, the buttons do not. I tried the above mentioned Headset app, but no luck with buttons either. This sucks a bit :/
meelectronics m11p work fine on my atrix
any comment on how some of the known functioning (mic and buttons) headphones/earbuds are for running and working out? I'd like to put my atrix in place of my ipod sometimes while running but I hate the earbuds coming loose and having to constantly adjust them.
For reasons that don't matter here, I got a set of Klipsch s4i earphones/mic.
Klipsch said up front the control buttons will only work with the iPhone line, says there's a magic ichip actually in the control stick.
So while none of the buttons (NONE AT ALL) work on the Atrix, the sound quality, clarity and definition, is astounding, better than a lot of expensive audio gear I've heard over the years, and the mic functions 100% on calls as well.

[Q] Recommend good quality in ear heaphones with mic & controls

I am looking to get some good replacements for the ones that came with the S2. The best quality I can get for ~£30 which have a mic and working music controls on.
Which ones should I be looking at?

If you can live with a one button control do, i.e. press once for play/pause, twice for next track and three for prev track then try the Ultimate Ears SuperFi 5vi. These pop up now and then on HUKD for just over £20. I use these with Comply foam tips and using these with Poweramp and the EQ tweaks, from the thread in general disc forum, I doubt you'll find anything better for the price.
Just checked on the UE website and the also now have earphones with vol and track buttons. I might buy a pair to try as I keep my phone under the pillow when in bed and sometimes it get's lost under there when I need to adjust the vol

Beats by Dre work with Samsung with limited functionality. I tried the stock music app, DoubleTwist, and another music app. Only the play/pause button works consistently, although I can't resume music by pressing the button sometimes... And the double press to skip works but is very inconsistent. triple press to go back does not.
But as somebody mentioned, Beats by Dre only deliver good (not great) bass and that's about it. There are cheaper earbuds that will deliver more balanced sound signatures. Klipsch S4i, Shure SE215, Audeo Perfect Fit, etc...
I have the Shure 215 as well. Those have clearer bass than Beats while not muffling highs and mids as much as the Beats..
i just buy a griffin adapter that has a very sensitive mic and controls on it then i use my own decent earbuds iam currently using Sony X-Bass MDR XB20 EX and they are great , well built , tough , good sounding headphones
the griffin i clip can be had for approx £7-£12 and then you can use any headphones instead of being limited by which ones have buttons and mic etc
Only music app which works with triple press (skip back) is Poweramp. The default and all other's I've tried only work respond to single and double press.
In Poweramp you can enable a 'beep' for every press so you know if you are pressing too quick to slow. You can also run it as a service so it resumes at button press everytime and even set options to resume at headphone and BT connect.
The BT connect is cool for when getting in to a car, no need to remove phone from pocket or bag, as soon as the stereo connects music resumes from where you paused last time.
I just grabbed a pair of Eytmotic HF2's and the single click control works for pause, jump forward and back on my 32SGS2. Find the reviews on for them Headfi. I was lucky to get them for only 100$ during a July promotion. With the money I saved (60$) I can justify paying for custom tips for super isolation and comfort. The stock Ety triple flange tips do a fine job. I also bought some Comply's and Shure olive tips, but they don't give a perfect seal.
I know we're all shooting way over your budget, but if you like the Samsung buds (which are awful) if you do get into the 100US$ range you will be absolutely blown away. Think of the extra $ as forgoing 12 Starbucks runs or one semi good restaurant outing for several years of audio bliss.

What about Klipsch Image S3 Headphone? Do you think they are equally good? S3 is priced lower. My budget seems to be in that range (of Kilpsch S3)
I used Philips Tapster Bluetooth Headphones with my S2, it's perfect!!
Mine's got a Philips SHE8005. These are in-ear type with a volume slider, mic and a button which acts as either to answer/end an incoming call and a pause/forward button for your music app. The wire's also rubber-coated to give you a firm grip on it.
Looks like a good buy!!

Samsung Galaxy S3 headset for Galaxy S2

Hey guys,
I want to give you a quick review of the great headset from Samsung, which originally comes with the Galaxy S3 but is also compatible for the Galaxy S2. I bought mine from this link:
http://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B007SXEGJI/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00
They have this white Apple look, which looks kind of better than black in my opinion. At the beginning the sound quality wasn`t so great but with my equalizer setting you can see below they sound so great that I had to start a thread and inform people about them
The bass is amazing. Really deep and satisfying. Treble is also great. Mixed together you have an amazing music experience
What makes this headset even better are the controls on the headset. You have 3 buttons. The + and - buttons are stock for making music louder and quieter. The one on the bottom let`s you pick up calls or pause/play music.
The great thing is, that you can change the functions of those 3 buttons with apps like "Headset Droid". I changed the + button to next song and the - button to previous song. It was really annoying with my old headset with one button because you had to double or triple click for next and previous song and that often didn`t worked out because of false timing etc.
So I really recommend this great Headset from Samsung because it`s very cheap and has great functionality. I bought mine for only 7, 44 Euro
You can find the great equalizer app here:

Cool, they look good. Thanks for the review mate
Edit: oops, image verification in the title.. :/
its true the headset are great
me i got em when i bought my gtab+
and btw there are some roms that have volume skip song enabled when you long pres the -+ buttons
how the sound quality compared to the s2 earbud? Is it really worth upgrading to the s3 earbud?
is it the same as the headset bundle with the galaxy note?
saw my friend using the headset on his galaxy mini...works fine
I'm sorry but what's the point of this post, all Samsung devices from S2/S2X/&S3 have TREMENDOUS earbuds but one HUGE flaw Samsung devs did was not allow the control talk to work properly with their own music player? Say your listening to music ok yes the call will come through BUT when you want to control what the earbuds do while listening to your music like stop/next song/volume up or down/& voice command, I could only do everything I wanted was by purchasing Poweramp & Headset Control so yeah

I bought the S3 headset from eBay a few weeks ago for around $7 Canadian. It's pretty darn good considering some of the similar replacements you find in stores go for about 2 to 4 times the price!
The only beef I had was that it didn't come with different size earbuds. But that's easily fixed by using the old ones from S2

I was using custom rubber things (the one that came with my monster earbuds) with my S2 headset and it was clearer and the bass was more punchy and sharp .
The sound in the S3 is a bit weaker (vocals, treble) but there's more deep bass. I prefer the media control function of the S3 though.

In AOKP and CM based Roms you can skip songs by pressing and holding the louder and quieter button of the device, which automatically makes the S3 Headset a great choice (at least for me) because there are buttons for louder and quieter on the headset itself, which means you can pause/play songs with the button for taking a call, switching to next/previous song by pressing and holding one of the louder/quieter buttons and you can make the music louder and quieter of course. For me this is especially great when riding a bike. You can control your music from your headset completely and no need to take your smartphone out of the pocket.
Should have thought of eBay... Gonna order now!

Simply can't believe cheap original Samsung earbuds can ever outperform quality earbuds (with or w/o mic). Won't waste my money on this as I have never had original Samsung earbuds that was worth. SE on the other hand is a true gem on occasion (I still have short corded earbuds from W800 and they sounds like a dream, but nothing compared to my Creative/A-Jays/Sony/Sennheiser buds, let alone exotic stuff like HQ Denon's etc. which I do not own).
Sorry, I can't grant my trust in cheap stuff, though it's good you folk are enjoying your music with these. I believe my ears are still good and I never heard Samsung earbuds sound "right" (ever).
Ergo... each to his own, but quality can't be exceptional for 4-10 bucks, no matter what someone might think.
ps: not at OP and his choice.
pps: FLAC FTW... or at least good HQ VBR MP3 (V0 or 320VBR), no 128k stuff...
The quality is very good for the price. Don't forget it's just not headphones, it's a headset with 3 buttons... At that price how can you complain?!
I buy the same on ebay. Works fine for the price. You can use headset controls with it.

Galaxy S2 Headphones are really good, so I expect no less from the S3's. Thanks for the review... :good: :good:
I have tried both S2 and S3 headset.
S2 headset has better sound quality.
When I tried S3 headset I even thought it was not correctly pluged as it sounded like it was not stereo!
Really, it is great to have those 3 buttons but I cannot stand the sound quality. I have never had so bad sound quality before with any of earbuds I got! :crying:
May have to try these. Thanks

Hey. Recently got a new job and while working I can listen to music. So I've been looking for some decent headphones (on/over the ear only, no earbuds or behind the head types). Looking to spend around $80-100
I'd like them to be comfortable for at least a few hours. I'd like a mic, too. Volume controls don't have to work, but I'd like a play/pause button. Isn't there an app that can make buttons on your headphones work with the phone?
I've been looking at the Klipsch Image ONE's. Look pretty nice, look comfortable, but no idea if the mic works with the GSM, or the controls.
Saw the Sennheiser PX 200-II i, which look a little flimsy, but I'm still considering them.
And these Marshall Majors I can't link. ;p
I also saw the Hesh 2, and Sol Republic's On Ear Tracks.
If anyone has any input on these, or wants to throw some new ones out there, that would help a lot. Just want to make sure I get something with decent sound, a working mic and at least a play/pause button. I'll consider Wireless/Bluetooth ones too.
Thanks, guys.
Just from browsing forums people seem to like the Klipsch S4A ear buds. They come with an android app for the button on the ear buds.

Yeah, I know. I did lots of browsing. But I said I'm not looking for earbuds. Mentioned that in the title. Thanks, though. I'll edit my original post to clarify more.

My mistake then, I was thinking about android controls and the Klipsch S4 was the first thought that popped into my head.
Ive just bought the RAZER electra headset in black, and i can say they are the best on ear headphones ive ever owned! over here they were about £50 so im not sure how much that is in dollars!
Really good trebble, nice middle tones and the bass is brilliant when turned up! it comes with two 3.5mm jack to jacks (the headphones have a 3.5mm out on them that you can lock the jack to jack in) one is just a straight cable, the other is one with a built in mic.
Unfortunately there is no Play/Pause function. But im sure you could program the volume buttons to pause and play when you held them down for 3+ seconds? like the good old sony's walk-man phones!
Let me know if you need any help!
Cheers!
Skullcandy's Roc Nation Aviators are really awesome, don't let the skullcandy brand scare u away, some of the most crisp sound out there. Remote works with android too, I think its like you have to hold the buttons instead of pressing but either way, it works and is awesome...and you can get them on ebay used for like $60 or new for $100 rather than the $150 in the store
