Headphone jack ? - Pixel C Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Has anyone had issues with their Pix C headphone jack?
I recently bought a new pair of AKG earbuds and just realised they dont work with my pix c. I then tried to test all the assorted earbuds I had at home:
Urban ears Bagis – works
Pair of decent but older sonys – works
but, the AKGs, a pair of HTC ones from an old phone, and a set of zero audio carbon tenores all DONT work.
any ideas? oh and FYI the urban ears are 3 rings, and the sonys are 2 rings.....the AKG is 3 ring, and the HTC and the Zero are 2 ring.

no issues here.

Could I ask which earphones you had tried? Have you used multiple units with success?
Perhaps my headphone jack isnt right...

Random, cheap $hit earbuds lol I think the pair that I was using yesterday were cheap Sony earbuds. I don't use the headphone jack often.

I use the Koss ProDJ100 headphones. I also have tested my Sennheiser Game One headphones on the Pixcel C too. Both worked great.

I don't want wireless or bluetooth I need a wired headset with mic coming out. Can someone suggest one or would it work with 3.5mm plug?

Any wired headset with 3.5mm connector will work with Galaxy S III
This is for phone conversations right? I will be working from home so I need it to work perfectly
I'll sell you one. I got the Nocs NS200 but I accidentally got the one button (with mic) version instead of the 3 button that I wanted. Haven't even used them. Opened them up, was disappointed n put them back

You have no idea how WRONG you are.
Galaxy S 3 is one the most picky phones I've ever owned, it's almost as bad as the worst phone ever - LG Nitro HD.
Just go to your local RadioShack and ask them to test all available headsets, see how many of them will be 100% working (sound, mic, music and phone calls). I'll bet at least half of them will only work for music, some will work for phone calls only when plugged in AFTER call was established. Not to mention remote buttons...(I've done just that with 5 headsets they had that could be re-packaged, only one worked)
This is ridiculous. I've already contacted Samsung regarding this, they politely asked me to piss off. The SkullCandy headphone manufacturer also said "bad luck, come again".
Now using piece of sh.t off brand headset, which works perfectly, but with terrible sound.
SkullCandy FIX don't work, however "fake" SkullCandy FIX (black and white with only one button) work fine, but they lasted 1 week before wire broke.
Wired Headset with Microphone
You may want to try Klipsch s4A. It is especially made for Android phones.
im using urbanears bagis.. been using it during the s2 days and now on the s3.. mic works excellently and the earplugs produce excellent sound quality as well..

I'm using Skullcandy's FMJ on my S3. It has a one button mic and I am able to answer calls and end calls with it. Also when not used for calls, pressing it once will play the music player, pressing it twice would play the next song but I can't go back to the previous song though. Pretty much good for me already.
Erm, yeah same here.... Had the basic skull candy ink set, and now a similar set. Both have worked perfectly..... Cheap too at a tenner a pair.....

I am using the Sony XBA-2VP at the moment (right in the middle of Sony's line of balanced armature IEMs). The mike works well on calls as well as with Power Amp.
Wish Sony would release the XBA-3 or XBA-4 for Android (as they have for the iPhone)....
Kind regards
So far everyone who say this and that works fine, refer only to these in-ear type headsets. What about normal buds type, that don't go inside the ear?

I'd recommend just getting another pair of Samsung headphones (others with the same jack will not work )
I've used BT headphones successfully - I had a Jabra stereo headset but I much prefer the simplicity of wires at the end of the day - no need to worry about running out of charge etc.
Does anybody know why other brands (and even other Samsung headsets) will not work with the Apollo?
Now that I've give this phone to my mum, I've warned her not to lose the OEM headphones!!! :cyclops:
Edit:
I should have said if you want a working headset w mic others will not work - I think that you can use headphones only...but then if you get a call the mic on the phone is cut out and they can't hear you speak. It's a bloody nuisance!
Thank you all for suggestions, I bought sound magic es18... they have really hifi output... Really happy with them... I forgot to update here sorry.

Yep, I have the LG Tone+ bluetooth earbuds and they work very well.
I assume you're enquiring about the play/pause/forward/back buttons on the headphones and whether they work with the Play Music program? If so, then yes, they work flawlessly for me at least.

Old school Plantronic BackBeat 903's work fine.
Rocking the Jaybird Bluebuds X and it connects within 2 seconds, consistently. I use them with Play Music for my cloud music, and PowerAmp for offline media. Their MSRP is expensive, but I got them brand new for way under MSRP, thanks to SlickDeals

I bought them in the apple store $129.00
Not earbuds, but have been using the Sony DR-BTN200 bluetooth on ear headphones and they work great! It is NFC compatible as well, so it complements marvelously with my Nexus 5.
not earbuds but I use this http://www.amazon.co.uk/Avantree-Saturn-Bluetooth-Transmitter-corporated/dp/B0085HOM4K
With my very old but awesome sounding denon 751's. It makes any ear/headphones bt compatible and in my experience it works great at close range either in the car or while commuting. Battery lasts me about 5 to 6 hours use over 4 days.
Sound quality has not been hit at all my denons sound the same as when plugged in directly to the nexus 5.
Yup I've used both GoGroove BlueVibe EBX and Klipsch Image ONE Bluetooth headphones.

i really like them for working out or running. they stay in place. the only con i have about them is that if you wear them with the cord behind your neck sometimes they can get caught when turning your head certain ways. to avoid that now i just wear them with the cord to the front. doesnt look as cool lol but cant feel anything but the buds in your ears. the sound quality is decent. one big thing i loved about these tho is that when you're wearing them it doesnt feel like you're covering your ears with your hands and can hear everything like footsteps or anything rubbing up against you. i originaly bought some jaybirds and they did exactly that, it was just too annoying for the price i had paid. i could hear my footsteps in my head and the cord rubbing up against my neck, you had to put the music too loud to try and cover the noises but you could always hear it
Great, thanks for all the replies guys.
I got myself a Plantronics BackBeat GO 2 Bluetooth Earbuds and they worked amaizingly with all the buttoms features it has, they are like 8 diferent combos for calls and etc.
I would really recommend this if anyone is looking for great bluetooth earbuds. :highfive:
I'm using the Outdoor Technology Bluetooth Tags with Play Music.
Jaybird Freedom JF3
they work perfectly... even though they're a bit older now and kind of bulky

Pixel XL Headphone Jack issues with Earbuds

Hello! I am having a problem with my Verizon Pixel XL, it seems that several earbuds/headphones I have do not work properly when used with the Pixel XL.
When using the headphones/earbuds the audio works in the speakers, but the microphone does not work. The earbuds are not defective as the sound and mics work on my Ipad and my Note 8.
I have this problem with (4) different earbuds I have purchased and it does not work on my Pixel XL or my brothers Pixel XL so it does not seem to be a problem with my specific device.
Any help is appreciated, thanks!
MIC NOT WORKING:
Samsung ANC Earbuds
AKG Earbuds
(2) other cheaper no name brand ear buds.
WORKING:
Samsung earbuds which came with my NOTE 7.
Beats Earbuds.
Beats solo 3
Also the earbuds/headphones are plugged in all the way.
All headphones and earbuds i have work flawlessly, so this may be an isolated problem.
I do remember one of my older HTC phones having problems with certain headphones. It was along the lines of earbuds with only a mic and one button would work flawless. But the earbuds that ONLY had a mic (no buttons) or earbuds with multiple buttons (volup/voldown/etc) wouldnt work.
i ended up replacing the 3.5mm jack (which included a whole circuit board) which fixed the problem.
Try cleaning it while being careful not to push potential crud further in, and then attempt a factory flash, then i would suggest contacting Google support.
I have tested the earbuds in 3 Pixel XL now, all the same results. I have found oddly that if I do not push the headphone jack all the way in and it just "sits" in the slot without the normal click, then the mic and sound works flawless. However being loose this isn't a permanent solution. Once push all the way in until it "clicks" the mic no longer works but the sound still works.

I'm having the same issue, along with several coworkers so its not an isolated incident. Never noticed this until I got a pair of the samsung akg tuned earbuds. Mic didn't work with my oneplus 3t or pixel xl unless I do that trick you are referencing. I found that if you wait to hear feedback in your headphones and then slowly push it in, they work but only for that time. This trick does seem to be much easier to pull off with the 3t though. I had an old pair of htc earbuds a friend gave me and that mic works fine. As does a pair of sennheiser momentum. Its only the pixel xl or 3t that have these problems.

Not sure if everyone is aware that the pixel xl uses omtp standard, where most phones are ctia. Ctia earphones will not work in an omtp device. You can buy an adapter but that does seem like an elegant solution.

I have heard that. Everything works fine, sound and volume keys, except the microphone. Seems weird that would be the only thing affected. I'll have to look into this adapter. I've literally never heard of this before today and just assumed there was just one standard for the headphone jack.
same here, in excitement I purchased an AKG earphone but the mic is not compatible with pixel XL though both work flawlessly with other combinations (earphones and mobiles and vice verse)

TESTED USB-C headset for 10$ that works

So, i saw lots of discussions around for a usb-c headphones that actually works with pixel 2 (mine is pixel 2xl)..
I ordered long time ago this usb-c headset from AliExpress, and forgot about it, then i received it today.. And it wooooorks.. Its actually really good (not saying high end headset good) but high volume, definitely noticeable bass, and very cheap (about 10$)..
So the secret was when i was searching for something that works with pixel 2 is to have CDLA (maybe a dax feature or a driver in it)..
Below you can see its picture and a link.. but also you can just search for usb c with CDLA on AliExpress..
The link:
Original Letv CDLA Earphone Letv 2Pro HiFi Chip Inbedded Continual Digital Lossless Audio Type-C for Xiaomi 6 Gold Galved Mic
http://s.aliexpress.com/z2aAjyMf
(from AliExpress Android)
What i don't like (but can live with it since its that cheap) is that its not in ear, its more like the shape of apple's one's.. And the mic is on the wire of the left ear (strange given that am used to the mic being on the right ear wire)
Honestly, the main reason for me to use it is that am on the phone a lot, and i want a quick plug and play mono headset, so am going to cut off one of the ears speakers (mono conversion).. And with it being that cheap, i don't mind the cutting (at least not a 50$ plus for an earset that i will end up cutting)
BAHAHA Looks like they took their iPhone headphones and put a USB C on instead of a Lightning. But having used the apple ones I might be interested in a pair since I kinda like em.

Louder than any normal 3.5 with an adapter, clear enough (but not high end clear), with a very noticeable bass (which i like, but again not high end bass)..

Instead of a dongle it should be an adapter that is cordless. Just the input and output on each side. Probably lose it even faster haha

These are the same headphones that come with the LeEco S3, Pro, etc. I have them and they are very impressive. They truly sound better than earbuds in the $100 range.

Hahahaha.. But mmmmm should google pay me then ?
Back at low price, I'm going to buy it!
Music worked but microphone didn't. Anyone else have a similar experience?
Yeah..mic don't work properly during a phonecall. The other party I called said that there was a loud annoying buzzing electrical noise when I use this headphone. I bought 2 pieces and both had the same issue. Disappointed
This will change my idea... Damn
wanted to buy this until i saw the price.........
Yaaaa noticed that too.. Sometimes the mic doesn't work.. Agree with most here..
Other suggestion for type c earphones working with mic?
Can't get these to work on my phone. Is there an option I haven't enabled, or is Flash Kernel interfering in someway maybe?
Can confirm they work on my computer so its not the headphones themselves
EDIT: so interestingly I flipped around the usb cord and it works haha. Weird how it works one way and not the other.
Mine arrived yesterday and the microphone works perfectly.
