Hey guys just wondering if anybody else has beats by dre, im having a little bit of an issue with the volume controls and wondering if they work for anyone else...I have the beats in-ear tour.
no it doesn't work for the atrix.. i have the HD Solo and iBeats and volume controls dont do anything
ohh, ok, thanks for the reply!Do you think it's a software or hardware issue?
It's a hardware issue. It's something about apple's headphone port having reversed connections for the skip and pause buttons.
Sent from my Unlocked Gingerblurred Atrix
apologies to Necro a thread, but if its a hardware issue - anyone know if there is an adapter that could be used?
I have a Sennheiser earphone (made for iphone) and it did not work for my other phones. (backflip and X10) Apple headphones have reverse connections, the ground and mic connection are reversed. However, the atrix detects the reversed connection and disables the mic and the controls, allowing the earphones to be used.

For apple earphones, to skip a track, press the pause/play button twice.

nope, none of the buttons work unfortunately.. i just got the Sony Ericcson MW-600 as recommended by other xda-members here, so i just plug my Solo's with the other cord with no buttons and plug it in on the MW600 and i'm good
leave it to apple to try to be different and proprietary ... no matter how stupid and pointless

I just bought a pair of these for my photon 4g. Would I be able to get a Sony Ericcson MW-600 and connect it to my photon and use the solos as well? I really want access to the remote. Thanks
Which one of the Beats would you suggest? I am just a casual music listener.
The remote control on the Rezound Beats work for the atrix, and the sound is great. Maybe look into those on ebay or something haha

Actually you're wrong. My studio's work perfectly fine with poweramp. you need to switch off double click and enable long hold on answer button and everything works..its a dream to use!
Why would you ever buy Beats headphones? Honestly.
For that amount of money you could get some real nice headphones. Not average headphones with cherry red paint.
It might not be too late to return them for some Audio Technicas, Denon, Superlux, Fischer, Grado, AKG, Sennheiser, Beyerdynamic, Shure, HiFiMAN, and Audeze. You know, headphones that sound good.

I wouldn't make average headphones look bad by clumping the beats stuff in with them. Honestly they are low grade headphones and the skullcandy's are probably better than those pieces.
Do your ears a favor and get one from the list above or whatever. Never heard sound replicated so poorly except from a $10 pair of Koss buds.
I found this post by mere luck but I know that I will get many thanks for posting here.
My friend has beats by Dr.Dre and I bought something called Coby cv215.....we often compare headphones and although mine is just 10 bucks, mine blows his completely out of water.
Haha. I love the expression on his face when people say the sound quality of mine is better.
Don't believe me? YouTube it or buy it as it is really cheap and tell me if I am wrong.

I have a pair of beats. I came from using a pair of sure buds. The beats cannot compare. I now have a high grade set of klipche Wich were cheaper an by far to best phones I have owned. I also have them plugged into a SE MW860 my only gripe with those is in also can't get the caller display or track display to work. FM radio on those also fill a great hole.
Beats are the most terrible headphones on earth besides a blaring megaphone. Why on earth Monster! It's silly, but Monster professional buds are expensive, but actually are worth what they cost unlike all their other products.

Even the product turbines are over priced in my opinion. Sure or klipche give the best bang for buck from my experience especially with memory foam buds rather than rubber. Loose the background noise and you don't need to play at full volume. Also I think they both have a much broader sound without being over based like monster head phones. It's all very well having good base but there is no point if the mid and top are flat.

What is a good earbud headset that doesn't cost a fortune, meaning less than $25 or so. Wired is what i'm looking for as i'm not big on BT headsets. I don't need anything ultra high quality, just something that works well. I'd also like for it to have a inline mic. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I've looked at so many my head spins. It's hard to tell what's good or not and you can't always go by price. Figured someone would have a set that they really liked over the others.
I just get the stock ones that came with my captivate, they sound good and are durable, don't hurt your ears.
Amazon has them for about six bucks. Just search for captivate or infuse earbuds they are black with opaque white buds and inline mic.

The OP said he needs them under $25. So for the price, Skullcandies are excellent.
They meet his needs. other than the JVC Marshmallows, they are the best sounding pair for the PRICE RANGE in my opinion.
On another note, I was interested in the S4As. I read a review
on amazon for them that the controls don't work with the Sprint galaxy S II and I was afraid that the same would be true for the AT&T variant. Do you own them? can you deny or comfirm?
I have the S4i's as I came from an iPhone to the galaxy. the mic and controls don't work with the phone (aside from the pause and play button.) wanted to get the 4A's but being that there's now a 5i and that I wanna try wireless I personally am looking for a stereo bluetooth option.

This is the quandry i've run into. There's literally hundreds of choices and some are known to be bad and some aren't. I'm just trying to find a good set for a good price that WORK, haha.

How well do they fit in your ears? I've tried several Ipod flat style ear buds and none of them seem to fit in my ears very well. They will stay in but nothing like the cushiony inserts of the samsung ones.

I use these all day long at work. The control button works as expected with the players I've used (music app, Pandora, Beyondpod, Audible).
I use my phones for music more than anything. For the past couple years I've used a countless number of earbuds. (Gym, bike, motorcycle, work, bus)
Klipsch S4s are the best bang for the buck by far. I bought mine at Best Buy and opted for the 2 year warranty. Taking the phone in and out of my pocket a lot tends to wear the cord at the connector. Their worth the investment.

If you're going cheapo I'd try JVC HAFX67B. Decent sound and super comfortable. Even more comfortable than the S4s in my opinion.

...and if your looking for heaphone look no further than the Audio-Technica ATH-M50s. Google em'. They totally live up to the hype.

Any recommendations for earphones with mic? This is mainly to listen to music and chat on Skype or similar applications.
I just got these for my EVO3D to use on my commutes to and from work because I was getting frustrated with blue tooth earbuds. They work great, awesome tone and base for a set of ear buds. Mic works great and everyone I call says it is way better than the blue tooths I have had in the past (everything from a $20 - 100 set).
They seal up your ears pretty good though, so awesome to block out the sounds around you but also makes you want to talk louder so that takes a little getting used to.

I have and use these:
http://www.amazon.com/Bose-TriPort-...1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1325345884&sr=1-1
Bit pricey (Not compared to other good headphones, though), but the sound quality and mic are awesome for talking or music. That and Bose has a one-year warranty. Comes with the headphones, a leather case, 6 replacement buds, and three 3.5mm-to-2.5mm adapters. Plus they're Bose, and Bose has a pretty great track record with audio. Got mine in July and they still work awesome. 5 months is pretty much a record for my headphones, wire always gives out and the left bud fails, even though I don't listen to music especially loud, so these are pretty durable. The price is justified, but if it's too steep, the ones Indiscriminate posted look good, or get a pair from Walmart or something and that'll run you about 18ish.

I bought these for my htc sensation a week ago and they work perfectly... however when I plug them into my prime, the kilpsch app doesn't seem to work (pushing the button does nothing)... honeycomb compatability issue?
I was thinking of buying these and then found this thread when I went to see if there was any that _actually_ work on the ATP.
So, did anyone _actually_ use these things on their tablet and verify that it works in place of the onboard mic?

Ok, i just plugged them in... and tested the mic with the sound recorder. The mic works fine, becoming default over the built in tablet mics, however, the click control (on the mic) does not work, even with the klipsch app installed.
I also noticed that the headphone plug sits out about 1mm from the jack, perhaps responsible for the not working clicker?
You are asking about the klipsch image s4a... aren't you?
I was referring to the J5M JBuds higher up (sorry I should've been more specific) but hey, if it works, $99 is fine by me as long as it works decently and has some durability.
My use case is simple: turning my tablets screen off makes the mic go crazy with noise, or at least it does in TeamSpeak 3; sound recorder is too soft for me to tell for sure with my voice but I think it does as well. So I need something that I can use while the screen is off and still be able to have headphones/earbuds to listen with.

I can now verify the J5M's work fully.
How I tested: speaking in teamspeak while listening on my PC. Tapped the glass over the mic for reference. Exited teamspeak, plugged in the earbuds, reconnected, and listened via my PC - then tapped the mic under the glass, then tapped the inline mic on the earbudds wire to prove it worked. Sound recorder would've worked too.
Yippiee!

Hello everyone, Need some advice on picking up a pair of headphones that I can use to listen to music and also make calls. Apart from the Klipsch made specifically for Android, is there anything else out on the market? I really wanted the bose but read on a few sites that they dont full function correctly. I have iPhone buds that I can listen to music but the mic does not work but work fine with my Nexus S.

Thanks, I am looking for standard earbuds not those noise cancellation.

you should be ok
What ever you do, don't go for skull candy! The build quality is horrendous. With no effort at all I broke my friends pair (he let me do it).
They would be functional, but I would go for some Audio-Technica's or Sennheiser's
i bought my iBeats by Dre for around $66 on the official website they are about $140
the control doesnt work for android sadly...well not for me anyways...but i like the sound they make if i cant hear someone in front of me without an eq then the headphones are a win in my eyes.
Used skullcandys before I think they are great honestly

Just so you know, the volume control won't work with SkullCandys. I bought a pair of 50/50s, and the mic works, as well as the play button, but the volume control doesn't. And I'm pretty sure that none of the volume control buttons on any headphones will work on the EVO 3D because the port isn't designed for it.

audio taste vary so widely person to person... some prefer accurate sound, some prefer strong bass. its almost useless to compare until one has personally try them out to see....
Meelectronics M9P - i have it, they're great and everything works. Mic, play/pause and that sound is awesome, even more awesome with beats
try a jays three ... They are awesome and designed for android, theres even an app in the market to customize what the buttons do.
the controlls on the skullcandys wont work, I have tried a pair, they are designed for iphone.
I have a pair of Bose IE2's. They have a variation with the headset controls and another for the iPod. They sound awesome.
The customer support is awesome too. I gave mine a run through the wash on accident and called them up. They sent me a new pair and some more of the silicon ear pieces - and even extended my 1 year warranty to cover the new earbuds.
Oh, and the customer support guy was a competent, English-fluent American who I actually believe was really named Mike (unlike the overseas CS from Dell with fake Americanized names). He made the process quick and absolutely pain free. That alone totally made me a customer for life.

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 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.

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
