Earphones with Inline Controls - Galaxy S II Accessories

So here's the thing. The earphones that came with my S2 were pretty rubbish, and somehow stopped working after 3 days. So for a long time, i used in Apple In-Ear Earphones that i used with my old iPhone, and they worked great, despite not being designed for anything but Apple hardware. However, last December i lost one ear bud from my last set earbuds (i have now lost one in all three sizes).Normally, it wouldn't be a big deal, but the buds Apple requires are bigger than those used by any other headset, and thus can't be swapped for generic buds. The official replacement ear buds cost ₹1500/-, which is half the price of the headset, which itself was pretty expensive to begin with. I've made do wit some Panasonic earphones off late, but the problem is that it isn't a mobile headset, and thus lacks any kind of mic or buttons.
Could someone recommend me a good set of earphones that has inline controls (preferably with music controls, but it will do if it is compatible with the Headset Button Controller app)? I need one that i can buy from an online store in India, or in the worst case, a store that ships to India. I'm not an audiophile, and don't need, very good audio quality.

I got a an inline adaptor from ebay, has 3 buttons on and a mic, means I can use any headphones I want and it cost me less than a pint of beer. Struggled to find any good headphones with 3 button inline.

are there any mini-USB to 3.5mm adapters that incl MIC signal?

(UPDATED) Just skip to post #2 please. http://www.tracyandmatt.co.uk/blogs/index.php/2006/09/02/hermes_headphone_modding_service
2nd try: are there any mini-USB to 3.5mm adapters that incl MIC signal?
1. I have a T-Mobile WING
2. I want to use the Etymotic "hf2" headset with my WING. It's much higher quality than the HTC headset supplied with the WING.
3. But the "hf2" only has 3.5mm connector.
4. I'm looking for an adapter that carries the whole set of wire-connections, just like the HTC supplied headset.
This looks like the closest thing.

But so far I cannot find the adapter I need.
anyone here in the same boat?
I think that this:
http://store.everythinggphone.com/htc-multifunction-audio-adapter/12A45A4401.htm
Is exactly what you need.
wow, the beauty of XDA forums!
Thank you! That's a new HTC accessory ... they finally made it for the G1... but it looks like it should work for the WING.. Thank you so much!

BB, thanks very much for the link to parts for WING. I had found each of those adapters a few months back. The issue was that none of those that you listed carried the mic signal from newer hi-fidelity earsets/ headsets combination headphones.
The 3-way that you showed allowed:
* sync
* charging
* listening to music
but it does not handle incoming audio from external mic.
The new item which was posted above, that HTC made for the G1 phone, is the first adapter to solve that problem.

Z-W88 Cost-effective MP3 Player Stereo Sports Bluetooth Headset Headphone

Three words that stand out in that title; Cost-effective, sports & bluetooth. All things that I really want for a curricular activity. This set is made to resist moisture such as sweat and rain. It is not a bad option to look into if you are in the market for a bluetooth headset.
The fit was actually one my main concerns. In the past I tried the Motorola set that looks like this set and it was terribly uncomfortable. At the time I was working for a lawn care/ landscaping company as a Crew Leader and needed to be able to answer the phone at any given moment to speak with supervisors and the owner of the company. Before I ventured into the wireless headsets, I well, obviously was using wired sets and ended up tearing up too many to keep up with. Long story short I got tired of paying for new headsets because the number one issue was the wire getting in the way.
When I got a bluetooth headset it was like salvation. I was free! There were no more wires to get in the way, it was easy to wear and I got to listen to music all day long. This is where this headset can come in handy.
Life has changed a bit and I am no longer working for that company, but I do like to go jogging and again the wire was annoying at times. I love not having to worry about a wire. I look forward to using this set for future runs.

[Review] Axgio Sprint Wireless Headset

Here is a product review of Axgio Sprint Sound Isolating Wireless Headset. With so many wireless headset out in the market I personally liked this one very much because unlike other wireless headset it has small ear speakers with adjustable stabilizer to wrap around the ears. It comes in a a very smart box with a usb cable to charge it and 5 pairs of different sizes of ear tips. so depending on your ear size and comfort you can use others.
After I unpacked the headset I put it into charge for 2 hrs and a lady voice tells you when you power it on/off and that's pretty cool! I tested it with my Nexus 5 and it's very easy to connect to your phone. It has great sound clarity and sweat proof. So anyone can use it when running or working out without any trouble. I would definitely recommend this product to anyone.
Features
Bluetooth V4.1
Operating Distance 10 meters
Music playback up to 7 hours
Headset talk time up to 8 hours
About 250 hours of standby
2 hours of charging required only

The astonishingly good KZ-ATE in ear headphones

I'd heard and read a few things about these online, enough to make me buy a pair.
They're a Chinese make, available form various places online, I got mine from Amazon. You should buy some too.
Firstly, what they're not. If you already have a set of in ear headphones that cost upwards of 100 quid they're not for you. If you don't get on with true "in ear" designs (i.e. you have to shove them right down your ear canal) then they're not for you either.
Fit, like all in ear designs, may take a bit of tweaking. The tips that come with them aren't amazing for me, I'll end up nicking a set of triple flange types from work. That said, your ears may be perfect with them. Also, again like all true in ear types you need to make sure they're the right way round and sealed in correctly. A slight downside is that they have no solid guide to hook the cable over your ear, just a weight on the cables to help pull them downwards. (see attached pic)
Other than that, they're amazing. Superb sound quality, good low end without being overhyped, with mids and highs that aren't particularly harsh. They're only a single driver but have a clarity to the sound that is better than some multi driver IEM's I've tried.
The best bit? They cost 10 quid.
10. Pounds. That is ridiculous.
If you have an iPod/phone/whatever, go throw away they junk they came with and buy some of these. Hell, buy two sets, then if they break of you lose them it won't matter.
Are these the best headphones on the market? No.
Are they the best value bit of kit I've ever bought? Quite possibly...

Usage and conclusion​The only cons I found of this AceFast T1 is they used a not-so-premium material for the charging case. It will easy to get sweat and the feel when you hold it into your hand is not so good.
At the bottom of the charging case, we will have a USB-C port to charge the case and it's headset. The battery life is also good (up to 25 hours of listening according to AceFast), I really don't care much about the battery life, I'm using for indoor only and I will charge when the battery is low.
The good thing is they used premium material for the headset.
The headset also supports touch control and it's design is good, it fits very well inside my ears.
The sould quality is well-balanced, I used to listening to Pop, R&B and it is really doing well for me.
