I am thinking about buying a pair of Klipsch Image S4i headphones. They have a small 3 button built in remote that allows you to lower and raise the volue, and a middle button which allows you to (ANSWER/PLAY/PAUSE/SKIP+/SKIP-) and it also has a built in mic.
I have heard that iphone headphones are compatible with the blackstone, and I am pretty sure that the middle button will work, with the use of a small app that does stuff like hold for 2 seconds to pause, 2 fast clicks to skip a track and so on.
However, I wonder if the volume+ and volume- would also work.
Any ideas?

Interesting...
But abit too pricey imho.
Not for me
I bought some cheapo wired iPod phones/mic combo. They worked in terms of the fitting and mic, but the buttons didn't...might be worth checking with the manufacturer...Seem good though!

Hi, so by reading the title, you should probably have an idea of what I'm looking for, if not, I'm looking for headphones with in-ear buds that also has a mic that goes along with it. I've been looking but I've never found one.
Do you guys have one like that? I need a working microphone, I know it's probably not a big deal if you use your headphones for strictly music, but I just like to have one in case my hands are busy
I would check ebay or amazon, I have one for my G1, but it uses 2.5mm instead of the standard size.
Skullcandy Ink'd is exactly what I think you are looking for. Great sound, 3 different sizes of ear gels for the buds, inline mic, and several colors to chose from. Can pick them up for around $20 I think.

I'll second the Skullcandy headset. Make sure the say mic on the package though. Great sound and the microphone picks up realy well.
Alright, I'll try and go pick up one of the skull candy's this week then.How long have you guys had yours?

I've had mine going on a month now, use them about 6 hours a day at work. Depending on the rom you are on, the button on the mic will pause/resume music play.
About three or four months at least, and I do not treat them kindly. They have been great.
my fiances IPHONE headset works fine
If u have like $60 to spend on headphones I believe V-Moda has a nice pair w/ a built-in mic. I have 2 pairs w/o the mic & they are pretty good quality.

I like skullcandy inkd but I think I wanna invest more in the skullcandy full metal jacket. They've got the braided cabling for better durability.
I bought these from New Egg for $13 on a Shell Shocker: MEELECTRONICS M6P-BK
The mic is also a button, it plays & stops music, answers, etc, came with several different sized ear buds. They're great, use them jogging, on my motorcycle inside my helmet, probably the most comfortable ones I've used inside a helmet at that.
Then got stuck using them on a 5hr conf call and they're WAY more comfy than my BT headset.
PS, sorry for bringing back an old post, just thought I'd share
Can anyone here suggest a reasonably priced (i'm thinking no more than $35, otherwise I'd pay the $99 for Beats) replacement earbud style headphones for the Rezound that has the Foward (fwd) and Reverse (rev) functionality as distinct fwd/rev buttons (not click three times to foward or four times for rewind types that only have one button on them). Having great audio quality isn't that important to me (I've used free ones that sounded just fine to me, as I'm not an audiophile at all), and other features like volume up and down aren't important either.
I loved the Beats headphone that came with it but they got stolen. I loved being able to fast-forward and reverse tracks without having to wake the screen up. In general I haven't had luck with the kinds that have one single button and you hit it a certain number of times or have to long-press the single button.
I tried a pair of Samsung OEM ones that I THINK came with the Galaxy S3, and they seemed to work just fine for fwd/rev. When I'm looking at ones on eBay or Amazon its difficult to tell if they are really the ones I want for that particular feature.

It's funny cuz the beats got stolen.
Monster headphones are they are the ones who made beat,they usually cost around 99,ebay sometimes have deals,also they have gold plated connectors.
Sent from Rezound
cant believe you liked the beats headphones........i sold mine on ebay the day i got the phone.
Its the music controls I liked.
Its not that I thought they were some awesome headphones, its that they had music controls. I listen to my phone 2 hours a day on the train, and skipping forward and back on audio tracks without having to wake the phone was a really nice feature. I just hoped someone could suggest a replacement that had similar music controls. I haven't found replacements (other than replacement Beats) at any price that had the fwd and rev buttons. I found some that have a single button that can long press or multiple press for similar functionality, but I really haven't like any like that.

You can get the same beats on eBay for your price range. All my headphones are skull candy. They have volume controls, not sure if some models have player controls as well.

Never had beats,base on friends and online reviews they are gimmick. I have skull candy most headsets have one button.

Hello everyone, I'm going to upgrade my set of headphones in the next week and have narrowed it down to the Klipsch Image S4A's and the Shure SE215's. I wanted to know your guy's opinion on which ones are going to give me the best bang for my buck.

I have the s4a's and I love them to death. I had beats tour in ears before and they are way better then the beats. Oh, and welcome to the site
Where did you get your S4A's from? I found them at best buy on sale for $80. I was thinking of getting them for a week then returning them and getting the SE215's so I can compare the two. And thanks I've been around for awhile but I never posted before until now.

I have the S4a's and I like them a lot. Great sound quality (I've tried numerous earbuds from Sennheiser and MEElectronics), multiple tips to fit your ear, carrying pouch. They suggest you use the Klipsch Control app in the Market. I don't know if anybody else with these can comment - unfortunately when I double-click the inline control to try to skip tracks, it will also redial the last called number on my phone, which of course isn't what I want to do. So I actually don't use their app and instead just rely on stock functionality to use the button to play/pause with one click, and I use the long-press-volume mod in MeanBean ROM to skip tracks.
S4 hands down. I had them and loved them. However the audiophile bug bit me and i upgraded to Ultimate Ears Triple Fi 10 and a Fiio E7 amp lol
another vote for the s4's. I have the reference s4's. I find the quality to be just as good as (with a slightly less prominent bass) my $200 sennheisers.
Theyre not the s4a version, but its the same hardware without the mic and button. Occaisonally they go for under $50, but you can usually find them from $50-$60.
The trade off of the s4a's would be the added bulk, which isnt much, but its enough to get caught on something or snag your jacket, for the functionality of a mic and a single button. I occaisonally find myself wishing i got the s4a's, but i love the slightly slimmer design on the regular ones.
Another reason i went for the reference s4's is because they comes with a little tin box (severely dented now), the size of an altoids can. I'm not sure why it appealed to me so much, but i liked it better than the s4a's accessories.
Can't go wrong either way. They're nice and durable too, but you should keep them in whatever tin or pouch comes with it.
cheers

The double click redial issue only started after jellybean. I tried on my gf's EVO which still has ics on it and works fine. Maybe it related to sense

I can't speak for the Shures, but I had a set of the Klipsch S4's and liked them a lot, in spite of a couple of small faults. They sounded great, as long as I was sitting relatively still. Walking or running, there was a lot of cord noise transmitted and the cord itself was heavy enough to pull the buds out my ears when it was bouncing around (a little clip solved that problem). And yes, I know how to pick the right tips to get the right (tight) fit in my ears. Also didn't like the long-ass straight plug - I prefer the right-angle plugs because I tend to put my phone upside-down in my pocket.
After a cat chewed through the cord on my S4s (he's no longer with us...), I picked up a set of the Ultimate Ears 350 and couldn't be happier. Better deep bass extension without being muddy, better fit, and right-angle plug. Plus I think they're generally cheaper.
Well my Shure's came in yesterday and I haven't found anything to complain about yet. They sound amazing compared to the $20 Sony earphones i had before. The sound isolation is really good on these. With the volume only half way I can't here anything else whatsoever.

I just got some the klipchs this week as well. Also upgraded from a cheap pair of sonys.
These things rock!
Heads up for anybody looking to buy some S4a's. Just got this email today from Amazon. $40. Never heard of Woot but they look legit. I bit the bullet for a pair.

I used the s4a's currently using the s4a2's (the new and improved version). These are by far the best ear buds I ever owned and much better than the beats brand. The control app is s*** because it crashes sometimes when the phone is asleep (meaning, no sure control when phone is asleep) BUT there are other, much better control apps out on the Play store. They are expensive but if you treat them well, they will last a long time.

I've had two pairs of the klipsch s4. Could really feel the lows but distorted on the highs. I still would buy another pair though. These are legit
My s4a's are solid, they've essentially replaced my larger cans.
I wholeheartedly recommend them for anybody looking for a solid pair of headphones. Sure they're not 25 dollar headphones, but they don't sound like 25dollar headphones...
I hope you enjoy them
Does anyone have a set of ear buds with a iOS remote on them that they can plug into the G3 and see if the remote works. I have read that some android phones, including a few made by LG are compatible with the iOS remote. Anyone care try it out for me?
My wife gets killer discounts on AKG products. They make a pair of reference class ear buds (K3003i) that retail for over $1000. I can get them for....well, I can get them really cheap, however the only model I can get is the iOS model. I don't want to spend the money though if they will not work. They say that you can get a adapter to go from 4 pole to 3 pole male 3.5mm plug, but do the buttons still work?
the play pause works using my stock iP4 headphones with my G3 and S4 but the volume up/down and double clicks ect do not.
I have Bose freestyle ear buds and the volume rockers don't work in android, but the play/ pause button does. It also bring up google now. IOS remotes use a different resistor combination so that's why the volume rockers don't work.
Thanks for the info....
It'd be nice if I could get all the buttons to work properly. They sell a version that works with android, but for some reason, that version is not offered on her employee discount webpage. I've seen that the control can be taken apart and different resistors soldered in, but I'm really not fond of the idea of peeling apart a pair of $1300 ear buds, whether I paid a fraction of what they cost or not.

Was sorting out my huge bag of cables/chargers/headphones/etc... (we all have one of those) and I found some old (nos) headphones that I had purchased a long time ago for my HTC HD2, gave em a try and not only did they sound pretty darn good, but the controls worked perfectly, volume up, down, play, pause, double press to skip, triple press to go back and long press for google. Maybe many of you already knew this, I had tried before with iPhone headphones and he volume wasn't working so this a great discovery for me, in case you wanna know the model, you could probably get them from ebay for nothing.

I buy the HTC RC-e160 from MercadoLibre ('cause I'm from Argentina) and have an amazing sound (the bass makes me feel like heaven). Amazing sound, great controls, excelent microphone for callings/Whatsapp/Telegram, amazing sound and.... AMAZING SOUND!
I believe that the models from I found on e-Bay and ML.ar are the same, this is one of the best buys that i made this year, so THANK YOU @hudtwalcker for your amazing discovery
