Headphones recommendations... - One (M7) Accessories

Hey guys,
i love the stock in ear headphones but i'm struggling as to why samsung and apple can do remote control but HTC seem to only have 1 button!
I'd like to control volume, and also skip songs and go back, etc.
Anyone got any recommendations of headphones and how to get that functionality?
Cheers

klipsch makes a few or you can mod any iphone headphones you have on hand.

Hi,
It will be hard to find an headphone with the remote control.I see the Beats headphones made for the HTC Sensation,it have 3 buttons specially made for HTC Devices.You also have the official HTC headphone with 3 buttons on the htc accessory website.
Most of others headphones on the market will be for Apple devices,it have 3 buttons but only the "accept/reject call" work on the One.
If I had to recommend you a good one,try the v-moda m80 silver(Smaller) or the V-moda m100(Bigger).it looks great with the One with some silver metal builds quality.The sound quality is great even you 're listening hip hop music or classical.It comes with 2 cable:1 for the Apple devices and 1 for Android devices(just with 1 mic button) and it's kevlar made,very hard to break
Look for :v-moda crossfade M-80 white overview,review on Youtube for the official videos
By the way,there is also an app called:"headset button controller" on google play store,it was great and I used it on my old HTC models,but didn't try on the One.You can assign some function on one button like double/triple press or holding.

yes a little pricey (I believe around $170) but they're bluetooth, meant for working out but sound amazing, ~8 hour battery life, lifetime sweat warranty (emphasis on working out), and best part...no chord attached to your device(s)

Yamaha eph-100. Tried many and these are amazing in ears and almost unheard of. Reason you will like them is they look like the htc one machined beautifully.

Loving my Bluebuds!

I use the LG Tone+ Bluetooth ear buds. They're 70$ and totally worth it. And this is coming from somebody who hates earbuds.

As far as my research has led me to believe, if you want to control volume and skip tracks, you can look into urbeats or if you want ok sound and full control for £20 then the htc 240 earphones are good and compatible... They are like the bundled ones, but with 3 buttons. Look it up on amazon.

Fry's has these for $140 this weekend. I'm trying really hard to resist. That's more than I've spent on what I consider my audiophile headphones.
I already have the Plantronics BackBeat GO, which has a similar form factor. They fit well, are mostly inconspicuous, and have good audio for a non-AptX headset. However the 3 hour battery life and lack of multi pairing are keeping me from putting them on unless I'm doing something where the cord gets in the way (for me, mostly lab work). I considered the LG Tone+, but I think they look doofy and I question the quality of the earbuds.

JBuds J3M Micro Atomic

Just thought I'd share. Ordered some JBuds J3M Micro Atomic from the JBuds site. All sites have these listed pretty high, but JBuds is selling them for 19.95. Used coupon code "minimag" (without quotes) for 20% off.
Not a bad deal. I'm hoping majority of the music features work for the MT4G.
Still can't post links but it's at jlabaudio dot com. 19.52 shipped.
Amazon has these for 69.95
Just ordered a pair
thanks for the code
How do these sound? (And how well does the mic work?) The stock ones stink, and my iPod ones also kind of stink (and they don't have a mic) Thanks!

What music/call functions can be controlled by these headphones (e.g., next song, answer, hang up, etc.)?
The mic works well. Single click to answer/end call.
Using playerpro it does recognize single click to pause/play, double click to forward to next song, 3 quick clicks to rewind to the beginning of the song and 4 clicks to go to the previous song.
4 clicks seems to be a hit or miss. Sometimes it goes to the previous song and starts playing and sometimes it pauses on the previous song.
As far as quality, these are wonderful.

I just ordered 2 JBuds J3M Micro Atomic In-Ear Earphones with Mic. Use the coupon codes - minimag, and feedback20 for 20% off.
no serious dj/producer/musician/professional uses beats by dre unless sponsored by them and on TV.
on topic I just ordered a pair. have some sony earbuds but the mic doesn't work and it only handles play/pause. Looking forward to having a more functional headset, if the quality it close to the sony's (which wouldn't be hard), i'll be pleased.
just bought a set too the mt4g ones i have are terrible and the koss ones i have dont have a mic built in so this will be nice to have so i dont have to unplug when people call me hahah.

I just got my Jbuds J3m and the quality (material and sound) is great at ($25 but you can use coupon code to get %20 off). Do the burn in process to warm up the earphone drivers as mentioned in the instruction and sound quality will even get better. The delivery from Jlabaudio was fast and just took about 3 business days also.

Yes, the burn in process will help a lot. Also try all of the little cushions, because when I found the right ones that fit my ear, the sound got even better.

Yep I left the earphone on with the burn in tool the whole night lol and the 2nd smallest cushion fits great and it stays better if you hook the cable over your ear as mentioned in the instruction.
Just got them today. Took a week. Phone controls are fantastic, make these worth their time even if they aren't amazing in sound quality. Long press to genius make them exactly what I wanted, music and voice control. Right now they sound a little tinny, have to play with EQ settings to get a good response. Gonna run the burn-in tonight and see if they improve. For 25 bucks they are a fantastic deal, even if they don't get better.
Did the burn-in for about 5 hours yesterday. After I put on a wide range of music and used Poweramps EQ to create a general eq setting. Had to drop the preamp really low and give the lows and highs a significant boost, but now I'm very happy. High's are clean and sharp, mids are steady, and lows are decent. If you are willing to spend some time with an EQ, these can be both a hands free solution and a solid set of headphones.
They aren't working as a headset for me on CM7, but they sound great. Headset works great on my wife's stock mt4g.

[Q] Dr Dre, Klipsch, Bose Headsets?

Anyone tried Klipsch Image S4i, Bose - MIE2 mobile headset, or Beats By Dr. Dre - Monster Solo High-Definition Over-the-Ear Headphones with ControlTalk? (I got the titles off Best Buy). I hear a lot of the more expensive headsets have trouble with phones that are not apple brand. Anyone own any of these and use it with the vibrant? I am running latest axura rom with voodoo enabled, if that matters.
Can anyone skim through the best buy online store and tell me what are the some of the best headphones they carry (preferably with mic but without mic is fine too)? thanks
Best earbuds imo:

They are on a severe discount now too. As for where it's coming from, I'm an audiophile and did my research on ear canals when I was looking for a pair for my Vibrant. The microphone also works perfect with the phone and can control music players just fine.
This set is a tad bass-heavy, just warning ya. It can handle ANY volume you throw at it too.

I own the Beats by Dre Solo HDs and use them with my Vibrant. The audio is perfect, but I haven't been able to get the Control Talk to work (although I haven't tested them yet with Nero). I definitely recommend them!

If you think the beat by dre are perfect you have alot to learn about audio all they are are heavy bass and crappy mids and highs, people only buy bose and dre **** just because media tells them too when theya re really some of the ****tiest things you can get
and vmoda is tits.
Klipsch s4i is the best out of all in the OP. Etymotic, shure, and ultimate ears also make good headsets in the same price range, not sure if BB carries any of them though. Beats and bose are all marketing, you'll find little in the way of actual sound quality.
Personally I am using ultimate ears triple fi 10s with my vibrant to listen to music, and they are very revealing-the vibrant is not a very good source in this regard. I highly prefer a dedicated DAP with a decent internal amp for optimum sound quality. These are probably out of your price range, though.

If you haven't heard the new MIE2 you shouldn't make a generalization about it. I hope those S4i's last longer than they have for others.
Some Bose are good but all of them way too overpriced for the quality.
Dr. Dre is marketing mostly though, don't get that if you're looking for actual sound quality. If you're looking for bling that looks nice in your ears, get them.
heygrl does the mie2's mic work with vibrant? anyone know if the s4i's mic works with vibrant?

I read some of the reviews and quite a few say they have poor build quality, is this true? one of the reviews said that the manufacturer wouldn't honor the warranty because it was purchased from an Amazon reseller.
anyone with the beats by dre, either solo or tours...do they come with a regular cord and then the one with the control talk? im thinking i can use my sony mw600 bluetooth with the beats without the control talk cord.
thanks.
The earphones that come with the vibrant aren't bad at all for freebies. I'd rather listen to these than the beats or the bose headphones. That said, I don't typically use my vibrant to listen to music with headphones, if listen with headphones i have a dac hooked upto my pc that goes to a hornet headphone amp and a pair of hd650 sen's.
Since I drive to work and don't take public transportation, I find that I rarely am in a position to consume media from my phone in that manner.
I do like the shure se series, you should look into them and see if they're right for you.
I have a pair of klipsch (forgot the model), the sound quality is great. Highs and lows are very clear.

I have some cheap sonys. Like $30. Play/pause works and skip. Prev and volume doesn't but no biggie. Important bases are covered.

Currently, only one button headphones work with android. Three button headphones only work with Apple devices. As i understand, this is a limitation of the Android OS, though i wonder how hard would it be for a dev to patch this functionality.
Most 3rd party players from the market (doubletwist, poweramp) have built-in controls so that you can play/pause/skip/etc via the one single button.

S4a has only one button, though it can be assigned multiple commands using the free Klipsch Control software from the market - you can customize the button, including double-press, etc.
I haven't used the controls much yet but they work with the Galaxy Nexus, which was not the case from my old Galaxy S. the sound is quite good from these headphones.

Not true - the iBeats that come with the Rezound work perfectly. Problem is, I can't find any Monster iBeats that have the three button control, all of the ControlTalk ones I find are single button.
Anyone have a link to the iBeats as sold with the Rezound? In Google Music (only app I tested them with), play/pause and track/forward back worked as it should.

fyi who ever tells you to buy the ibeats by Dr. Dre are not doing you a favor. The sound quality on those headphones is terrible. I bought them and returned them within an hour. My $17 Phillips ones sound better then the ibeats. They are the worst headphones I have ever tried. Also they were not defective I had them exchanged as well before I returned them. They don't get loud at all.
I highly recommend this headset. Comfortable and high quality. Works better than expected.

Bonus of the S4i is that it'll still work to use with my iPod shuffle (relax, I only use it for working out)

I just picked up a pair today from BB an hour away from my location. They were only available there. So far, loving the crispness of these, and just wondering what you did to get the volume control to work?
Btw I bought these because I went through all these headphones and these were the only ones that looked really good at a great price. And you said they worked with all the buttons. If not it's no big deal, I'll just return them and find something else. Plus the bass is really lacking, I read it in the reviews but didn't think it would be this flat

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.

[Q] Headphones with in-line mic that work with Android/One X

I'm looking for some headphones, specifically in-ear ones, that work with Android and have a built in Mic and volume controls. I know that many of the ones made for iPod/iPhone don't work with Android properly so I want to make sure I don't make this mistake. I'd quite like the earphones to be good quality ones in the price range of £30 - £90 if possible. I've looked around but not found much. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks!

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.

a-JAYS ONE+ to the rescue

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

I just orderd me some Brainwavz M4+, with in line mic ... i can post again when i get them and tell how they work with the HOX.
I just bought a set of htc in ear phones with mic and control and tangle free flat cable from carphone warehouse for £20.
I'm no audiophile but they sound ok.

I tried looking for good over ear head phones everywhere for while, finally bought beats by dre Solo HD, however only one button works, the only way i got everything to work was by downloading app called Headset button form google market, which has allowed me to control everything on the phone.
1 click pause song, ans and disconnect call
2 clicks - next song
3 clicks - rewind songs
hold the button - volume up
click + hold button - volume down
