Hi,
I was wondering if there was a set of headset earbuds with remote controls (for volume and/or playback) that worked with the Atrix (CM7 Ba2tf)?
I tried the JVC Marshmallows, however the controls do not work when I plug them in.
Thanks.
I can't quite put my finger on the brand name, but I do remember one pair at Radio Shack worked with official CM7. They were around $30 and specifically said they work with android phones. Had a mic, a call button, but no volume control.

I am looking for a stereo bluetooth headset and was wondering if members of this forum have any suggestions of what to buy.
I'm going to go with an iTech r35 clip. It seems to have the best support for a range of profiles, and also allows connection of your own preferred headphones.
It seems reports of it working with tytn are mixed, but this appears to be because the tytn BT stack is not the best.
I'll give it a go, but I don't hold out 100% confidence in any BT stereo headsets unless something is done to address the weaknesses of the underlying device.
good price for the itech clip at the orange shop £29.99 (includes a free dongle to allow you to use the headset with other stereo equipment via a 3.5mm jack.)
let us know how you get on as I think it's ok.
pros
1 quality acceptable for me using my own ear buds
2 A2DP works well so far
cons
1 no car charger included
2 hands free reconnects fine when coming back into range but the stereo wireless does not and you have to reconnect manually
3. I'm using the headset through my car stereo aux line. works great for playing music and taking calls except people ringing in hear an echo (themselves through the car speakers about .5seconds after they speak). I thought it was one of those things but it doesn't do it using my w800i. - I really need to resolve this one :?:
I havent heard any complaints about the S38 I think that from what comments I have heard would be the better choice
Im using the s38 it works geat!
Hey,
I've been looking at buying the r35 and was wondering whether or not the clip has a built in microphon on it or not? Becuase I want to be able to use my own headphones and still answer an incoming call. Thanks
I have chosen to go with the Jabra BT500v so far so good quite comfy, only problem is that it won't let me use it to do voice commands on the Vario 2 so some hacks are needed I think.

+1 ?
I use the i-Clip R35 and it works great with the Hermes, using my own headphones and the clip picks up my voice really well even if it's in my shirt pocket. The forward/backwards button works with WM but not the play/pause button, still trying to get these to work with TCPMP.
My R35 clip arrived today. I bought from here and paid circa £64 for two delivered to the UK.
So far it's working well (I made the registry alterations to improve the stereo - as suggested in the wiki). In WM the pause/play button doesn't seem to work (but the volume up/down and track back/forward do). It flawlessly switches to headset whenever a call comes in.
The only thing I don't like is a device issue - having to keep the device on (ie all buttons and the screen active) when playing mp3's.
I'll keep track of how I get on, and report back on a long term test.
so pressing the down button on the joypad in media player to switch the screen off (but keep the music playing) stops the iTech from working ?

If you are having problems with accidentally hitting the buttons etc.. when the phone is in your pocket, have you tried enabling the "Lock" in the settings menu to activate after 0 minutes.
This is what I used to do when I was listening to Tomtom voice commands on my motorbike (used to have the phone in my pocket and didn't want to accidentally phone someone, activate other programs etc..)

I wasn't aware that you could do that. Does it also disable the buttons? I find I get all sorts of presses as I slide it in and out of my bag. I'll have a play, and see what happens.

thx for that. I'll give it a go.
My first pda phone, so these tips - even the most simple - are extremely useful.
Suggest me some headphones or with forward, rewind, play, pause and stop buttons. Any adapter with all these buttons for my Shure SE530. Not any bluetooth adapter only wired.

Does this work our phone(i9100) ??
http://www.bestofferbuy.com/Earphon...e=gbase&utm_medium=cse&utm_campaign=gbase_usa
This has mic too. Do you think this works with POWERAMP in i9100.
no those will not work. there is a mobile phone standard which supports inline mic, pause/play/ff/rw button. this is what the SGS2 supports, as well as most other android phones.
for example the Bose MIE2 works just fine, and is the standard mobile method for headsets. there is also the Bose MIE2i wich is specific for the iphone/ipod.
so when you buy a headset with mic and button, just make sure it is the mobile standard and not an ipod specific one.
Hi,
I just got my pair of UE600vi earbuds with a mic and in-line controller.
Everything works as expected (so no volume control), but what I didn't expect was that the built-in mic doesn't seem to work properly. When the cable is plugged in properly I get audio in a call, but the person on the other side of the line says he can't hear anything.. However, if I take the plug out a bit so that one black ring is out of the plug the mic seems to work,(probably because the mic is disabled and it uses the phone mic..) but I only get audio to one earbud.
I contacted Logitech which said that they can do nothing and that it's Android's problem.. However some people say that they've had no problems with apple-optimized headsets apart from the volume buttons.
Is there a way to force compatibility?

Same here, I've got a great sounding AKG K328 headset on an Asus Fonepad (Android 4.1.2). Everything is working fine, I can assign actions to the middle button, I can use the button to answer a call, but the microphone is not working at all
Judging from the symbol in the Status bar, the headset is only recognized as a headphone (without mic). The mic is working on an iphone, though.
Any ideas?
There goes my first pos heret:
Recently I have bought an international SGS3 branded by T-Mobile and it is currently running I9300XXBLFB (ICS 4.04). Some time before that I have also bought a Belkin headphone adapter. What it does is that it basically provides a microphone and a standard 3.5mm jack port for the headphones of your choice. It also has a small 3button Apple like remote (answering button and +/- loudness controls). Good idea for someone who loves his headphones, which don't come with a microphone. It also comes with a TRRS ending typical for Apple.
The adapter worked ok on my Samsung wave with a TRRS switch (loudness control of course didn't work at all, but answering did; loudness doesn't usually work on anything but iCrap). It also seemed to work on my SGS3 at first, but without the switch (TRRS layout is the same as in Apple).
When plugged in I get a notification that headset is recognized, when I make a call the microphone works, headphones work and the answering button is able to stop the phone call. When not in a phone call the answering button starts and stops the music player, so again kind of a standard behaviour.
Now the fun part starts when I answer a phone call with the answering button. The call gets picked up BUT the headphone icon at the notification disappears (behaves like the headphones would get unplugged) and the microphone in the headset doesn't work anymore. I also am not able to drop the call and after I drop it with the phone itself the music switch via the headset doesn't work. Detaching and attaching the headset via the 3.5mm port again gives the headset icon back.
I compared it with two other headsets: stock and Thermaltake Isurus headset.
Both of them behave correctly when I answer a phone call. Both remotes work correctly as well, I am able to pickup and drop calls and the headset icon stays where it should.
Anyone has any ideas what may be wrong with the Belkin headset adapter? Or why SGS3 behaves so strangely with this accessory in particular? Anyone encountered this before?
Hi there,
I have used the Klipsch S4 headphones for a while now and decided to "upgrade" to the Klipsch S4i wired headset for convenience. It is actually designed for Apple products, but the middle button should still work.
The android version of this headset is 60ish% more expensive and has the same functionality (no volume buttons instead of dead volume buttons...).
I had read that not all functions would be available on my Samsung Galaxy S3 (Android 4.1.2), but I expected the problems to be restricted to the volume control buttons.
What does NOT work?
When I'm using the headset, I can use the headset's middle button to receive an incoming call, but as soon as the button has been pressed, the headset is pretty much not recognized by the phone any more: The call uses the phone's speaker and microphone.
Also, if I try to listen to music via the headset afterwards, that works only after unplugging and reconnecting the headset. The headset is dead after receiving a call with its button.
Things that DO WORK:
- Receiving the call by using the phone's touchscreen while using the headset - full functionality.
- Fully functional (button to hang up, mic and earbuds) when I'm making calls from my phone. So the problem exists only for incoming calls and when using that damn button.
- Using the button for play/pause, next track etc... (no volume control though) with spotify
What I have tried:
- Apps: JAYS Headset control, Philips headset control, Klipsch headset App, SoundAbout (Free version), Music volume EQ
Only one of these apps was installed at a time to prevent conflicts.
I would find it very convenient to use the button to receive calls and don't understand why that doesn't work. Can you help me?
That's why Klipsch made the S4A model (for Android phones)...

I have both, and yes S4i control buttons not work (unless you want to open it and exchange the resistor with cheap android headset). Quality of the sounds both same, the disadvantage only the buttons (S4A single button sucks, even install Klipsch app), the long press button config conflict with voice command (this why it sucks because I set long press to choose volume presets, anyone know solution for this?).
