HTC and Beats ended their partnership and Woot.com had a fire sale on the HTC compatible urBeats and were a decent price. Now that I have left my HTC One and started using a Nexus 5 here what I've test and know what works and what doesn't.
- same audio quality. Very good actually.
- the next/back button are volume buttons
- the play/pause button does play/pause but when double tapped it jumps to the next track.
I haven't tested the mic yet but, when I do I'll post up what I find. I'm sure it'll work just fine since all this stuff is universal.
So far I haven't used any headphone apps to control the buttons but will if its a serious issue. Overall very happy that my urBeats work with the Nexus 5.

I found a headset which doesn't has the problem mentioned. I can hear the one I am calling and the one I am calling can hear me.
It is a cheap headset from an EU cheap brand but it does work I think it is available, or was available on other brands in other countries Also the other way around. Only there is a delay when I am being called. The headset isn't connected first it connects after a few seconds.
In the Netherlands the brand is QWARE type HS 003BT The package has quite some accesoiries as you can see in the below. The earpiece weights 9 grams.
the qware website seems to be offline? I just bought it cheap to try things out with my old BA.

hi, I'm using HTC HD2.. I actually like the sound quality of the original headset, but I'm not really comfortable the earpiece.. it easily falls down from my ears..
I've been looking for headphone or backphone that have mic and compatible with this device, and I haven't found anything yet.. but I already have one comfortable backphone for PC.. it has mic, but the 3.5 plug is divided into 2 plugs : audio in and mic..
it looks like this :

can I combine those 2 plugs into one 3.5mm plug for my HD2 so it can play music as well as talking on the phone?
thanks in advance!
Perhaps sone kind of D.I.Y walkthrough to make a converter or to put both plug into one?

Is there any way, either through a mod or app, to adjust the sensitivity or pick up of the microphone in video camera mode on the HOX? I was filming some bands last night and the picture quality was great, but the sound was pretty bad. The stereo microphone setting was even worse. Any tips appreciated.
+1
increasing audio quality is important as well as video. I am waiting some devs realize it and working to make our HOX better.
+1!!
Sometimes I just watch my videos on mute because of the lack of bass
Ultra sensitive microphone as I've noticed too
on xda for android and mistyping like a boss
I found an app called Voodoo Sound on the market, which has this setting for microphones:

Unfortunately it doesn't currently support my kernel or the HOX in general. Have emailed the developer to add our device. Looks interesting.
I am looking for a cheep pair of in ears...with acceptable sound quality and also acceptable build quality. The stock Galaxy S3 in-ears were totally okay for me with the exception that the build quality is misrable (broken wire within 2 months). I saw the in-ears from HTC...with flat cable. It seems that the build quality is exceptionally good!
Can anybody say how the soundquality compares to Galaxy S3 stock ear buds? Also I read in a youtube unboxing comment that the ear bud somehow only really functions with HTC mobiles...(something about driver error)...I have no idea about this...but it is hard to imagine that hTC will cripple the earbuds somehow. Can anybody confirm if the HTC stock in-ear works with the S3.

Edit: misread the question. Thought you were looking for a good cheap pair of headphones. Can't delete this so I'll leave the link.
Galaxy S3 stock buds suck.
Found out that there's a FMTransmitterService (com.mediatek.fmtransmitter) that is running on the phone, but couldn't find any feature on my phone to transmit via FM.
Anyone know anything about this?
With QuickShortcuts, I even managed to launch the FMTransmitterActivity.

It even have a notification, and it correctly mutes the speaker!
However, can't get anything on my FM receiver though.
Hello,
You did not tell- how you managed to get to run the FM Transmitter interface.
There are a lot of undocumented mystery goodies about this phone. The sound is top notch premium too, and they explain it no where in the specifications.
I installed this app called "QuickShortcuts", and then look for FMTransmitter, then select the FMTransmitterActivity, try it!
After I upgraded to 1.33 version of the firmware, the service is gone. :|
Hello,
Yes I see the service is gone. I think they are reserving something for business.
They read these forums I believe.
