The headset (earset that comes with the phone has all controls. But I think it sucks royally as the earbuds are horrible, even for my somewhat larger than average ears. I'm kinda looking for alternative myself.
I took Apple ear buds and fitted ear plugs on them. They works great you can't hear a thing with them in....only the music.... Oh yea

I know on my old incredible, the buttons don't work completely. Only some functions, I think that goes to say with all androids. There are apps that you can assign a different amount of presses to be pause,play,next though.
I know bestbuy has a pair of sony earbuds that are life $25, that have the "ipod" controls. They did work somewhat on my incredible, and there are a pair of skullcandy's that have the controls also. I assume they would work the same.

I order these, they are the ones that came with my old vibrant, since I lose my earbuds at least once every two months I would never spend a lot on them. I'm happy with the quality, I doubt it is as bad as some people describe the stock headphones for the amaze-- but my theory is if they are using a rom with beats audio the headphones may not be capable of creating that kind of sound at higher volumes.
To the best of my knowledge no android(I've seen at least) has working volume control, tho I'll bet a few might.. I haven't tried any with volume control on my amaze.
I use poweramp music player, I press 1 time to pause/play, two times to skip, and then you can decide what you want three presses to do- I have it switch playlists. If someone calls I press once to answer, once to hang up, and if I was listening to music it comes back on.
I've never been totally sure, but I think the beats audio libs only work on the stock music app, so that might be why I don't have any complaints about audio quality(because I use poweramp)..
Anyways, thought I'd share in case it was helpful.
I am New To Beats Auido and it does sound great... But my speakers seem quiet.. The ringer and notifications need to be brought up more... I have been look for some kind of eq or Something (yes I did check.. All the volumes are up!).
I would. Just. Think that with beats audio I would get a app like voodoo....
So is There a. Beats audio app or am I going to have to wait. For a. Kernal and voodoo???

Beats Audio essentially IS an EQ (a bad one at that) that cranks your bass and highs, and muddles everything in between. Sound is pretty great with it turned off.
I have also found the volume on this phone to be annoyingly low though - no idea how to fix that one. Anything below "half" on the volume meter is almost inaudible.

I don't use your phone though... but a piece of advice to increase volume try volume + from market or you can get it at androidaudiohacks.com for free(not pirated, its the devs website)!! N btw its only for rooted users...

And were back in the lifeless cycle of cranking up our phones and blowing our speakers.. The same scenario happened on the EVo 4g and a lot of Rom users complained of blown speakers.. Don't mess with it!

Well I find the sound very clear.. Well at least compared to my epic 4g... But it could be a lot louder. I will look into volume +... But I definitely don't want to blow my speakers.

You should notice more boom in your trunk.. Or if you want to hear better quality, click that little disable button at the right in the to bar

Beats EQs the bass. Makes music boomier. I'm not sure it works with Bluetooth devices cause it doesn't with my plantronics 855. If u have headphone jacks you could use, try using them then disabling beats in notification to hear the difference.

This phone rocks!
Being a musician for more than 12 yrs. I also have worked with several Eq and soundboards. I got to say Beats audio definitely sounds outstanding!
I really enjoy this phone. Best phone I ever owned period.
Beats is awesome. My EVO LTE is a Beast.
Depends on what I'm listening to, sometimes its great other times "Classical" & "Dance" are more fitting EQ settings.
Sent from my EVO LTE
The beats audio check box that appears when music apps play turns the Beats EQ on and off. I've got much higher quality audio equipment than Beats brand, personally I think it sounds horrible over my Alpine head unit in the car, but sounds ok on my Motorola Rokr S9s on the right song. On my home surround it sounds like crap, and my Senheiser head phones also don't seem to like it.
As far as the phones audio it self? Outstanding in general.

Where do you navigate to in the phone to adjust the eq settings. Is it even possible to adjust the eq settings?

You're a musician and you think Beats Audio is impressive?? An EQ that cranks the bass and makes it boomy and muddies all of the mid-range? Eh, I think the DAC on this device does a great job in general, but Beats screws it all up. On a high quality set of speakers, tell me that turning Beats OFF doesn't help the sound quality and balance.

I like Beats Audio when I'm using my bluetooth motorcycle helmet to listen to music, but that is ONLY because it makes the volume on it a little louder.
Once I plug in my Bose headphones I instantly disable Beats, I don't listen to the type of "music" that was designed for and it makes what I do listen to sound like crap.
Even my teenage boys, that have the same phone, think that Beats is overrated. It is fine on some songs, but generally using something like PowerAmp, which gives you a lot of flexibility, sounds better.
Beats is a one-trick poney.

Ill tell ya, Beats does help with the loudness of the music in my car via Bluetooth. Im just trying to figure out what kinda Headphones i wanna get. Not expensive of course. Just something to listen to a litle music, and some Podcasts...Any suggestions besides Beats headphone?
Im not as as technically incline as some of the guys replying to this post but only know that with my jaybird freedoms there louder and clearer then my e4gt and wayyyy louder then when i had my 3d. Only other time ive compared beats audio to anything else was car shopping. I test drove a new chrysler 300 with beats audio and thought it was really nice well i bought a 11 hyundai veracruz and that infinit audio system smashes hat beats audio one and my gfs alpine in her lincoln

This. I listen to bass heavy music (dubstep, electronic generally) on a pair of ultrasone DJ1 Pro's. Adding the beats audio makes everything rumble more than it needs to, especially with FLACs
Hi,
I have beats by dre and the buttons that came with the wired are similar to the Samsung headphones. What I mean by that is that they both feature volume up and down and the button for switching tracks and answering calls.
However, my problem is that the button in the middle for switching tracks etc works but the volume up and down don't?
Is there a solution for this?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
Yeah.... Just burst it open and switch the small cables until it works then screw it back together again. OR you could cut the wire on both samsung earpiece and beats, just switch them around so you got samsung buttons with beats headphones attached, simple!

It's not a problem exclusive to beats though, i think many 3 button headphones have trouble working with android devices. Maybe if you'd care to share a pair that work without problems, the OP would consider them if the issue is bugging him that much, telling him to 'buy proper headphones' doesnt really help him.
I have beats also and the volume up and down buttons dont work, but it's not a major issue for me. I downloaded
Headset Button Controller from the google play store, it allows you to control everything using just the single button (double tap skips to next track, triple tap goes to previous track etc) works well..

My cousin bought those, the sound quality is extremely poor.
Flat and tinny, bass is non existent.
For that kind of money you could get high quality headphones.
I got sennheiser HD 202's for around 30 euro.

I have those too! I use them for when I'm out and about and the hd202's for around the house.
I think they are great quality and very reasonably priced!
When you buy beats 99% of the price is for the logo.

I've got the Pro's and they're really good! Not saying that for the same price you don't get way better one's, but they are really good for trance music. I would have got something else instead, but they were a gift.
Got the same problem with the 3 button cable. Also the mic is not working properly, making funny issues.
I just use the simple cable with no button.
I have been looking for a adaptor from iphone made headphones to others, but none that work for the s3...

Yeah they're good for the price. Its pretty hard to distort them. I think if you Mix poweramp, full bass and any Hybrid track though, you're in trouble. But they do me.
Bit gutted, got up on the bus, caught the chord on the seat and ripped the left out of my ear. Must have strained the connection as the left is only 75% volume compared to the right
Beats is a marketing gimmick
thanks
Anyone else think there could be some improvements made on how loud the speakers can get? I was expecting more Boom. The sound is amazing but I want more of it...
I have some Base headphones that sound fantastic as well but they aren't very loud unless beats is on. Wondering if there is a way around this or is that by design?

Turn of beats when using NO headphones just the front facing speakers you will get more sound, that's louder!!
