Not sure if anyone has found a fix or I'm just too stupid, but has anyone been able to use the earpods as a headset?
I can hear music, but I can't use the earpods as a headset for my i717.
I used to rock Astro's, but my clumsy ass broke them. :'(
So has anyone successfully used the earpods as a mic?
Because they're an apple product. LOL no hut really, using the ear buds as a mic? Not possible. Using them as a headset you should he able to as in like listening to games etc.

You can't do it because apple moved the position of the contacts on the 1/8th connector for mic/inline controls slightly off from the norm so they don't usually work on non apple products.

Samsung Galaxy S2 Skyrocket headphones. It works perfectly on my Note for music and calls. I use them for gym and at work. Plus they're way cheaper than iPhone 5's overpriced earpods.

If they have a 3.5mm plug then for sure. Now if they have any kind of controls on them then I don't know if that would work. But should be fine for just audio.
Just bought them... lol I hope they work they weren't cheap

Why would you over pay for some cheap junk? Get some beats by Dre. Sound way better and control calls/volume

beats by Dre? You're overpaying a lot more for THOSE than for iPhone headphones. All the Dre IEMs are is bass, bass, and more bass. Clarity be damned, we need more bass!
You can get better, far more accurate IEMs (in-ear monitors, or in-ear buds) for under $20. Try some MEElectronics m9s maybe?
Don't get me wrong. He IS paying too much for what the iPhone buds offer, but the Dre's are even worse when it comes to price/performance. Might as well get BOSE
Are they any out?
Tons, have been for years. I personally use the Rocketfish ones that Best Buy sells, they work great. Moto, Sony, and many others make and sell them too.

Same one. The thing I like about it is that I can use my Shure IEMs or Sony studio cans.
Another nice thing about them is if you connect them to your stereo aux line and are close enough, you can use your phone as a wireless remote as the music streams from it.

have you used the Bose soundlink ?? Id like to hear a few reviews on this looks like it will be my next accessory
Some of the Samsung docks (like EDD-D1G8BE) have a SPEAKER LINE OUT in the back. If you're connecting it to a nice speaker system this would make the sound a bit better than the headphone jack.
I got it at the base exchange. On the air force base in San Antonio
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G with Beats Audio using xda app-developers app
Which one did you get on base?
Power cord + audio patch cable + any device with audio in = my solution.
Cables are a dime a dozen and you can get something far quality with an audio in rather then trying to get something with a dock or BT connection.
I have a Motorokr eq5 bluetooth speaker that's I like to use. It sounds pretty dam good in my opinion. It cost me about 65$ but I use it every day for about 6-7hours straight.

I didn't read the first post...sorry.I think the motorola sport series are good. I've tried them before and the sound quality is good, but they don't fit on my head.
Jaybird freedoms....i jog and they dont even feel like they are on. Plus they are loud and clear. I have a evo lte i use for an mp3 player and surprisingly the beats audio in the evo makes a noticable difference then when using them in my s3. I dont know why since there wireless but definitely notice a difference and i have a pair of beats earbuds i can say the jaybirds sound just as good

It's as if no one bothers reading the OP's post. He doesn't want the jaybirds.
To OP, I've heard great things about the Motorola, but honestly I would recommend going wired. No need to worry about BT. Try a tunebelt armband that has a Velcro strap for the dangling wire of the earphones. If you must have wireless, try the moto.

I actually DON'T recommend the Motos over the JayBirds... I have both brands, including both S9 and S10s, and still believe the JayBirds are better in sound quality and comfort. There really is nothing better right now, I don't think...
That's why people keep ignoring the damn first post and saying go with JayBirds, lol.
i see that jaybird came out with the new JF4 headphones which is 40% smaller then the freedoms but it has less battery time. They also didnt fix the reception issues.. oh well, ill wait and see for now guys.
I have the Moto S10-HD they are great. They seem to sit a little low on my head but otherwise very comfortable and have stood up to running in extremely humid weather. Even withstood a small rainstorm that popped up during a run.

I didn't see a earphones thread so I wanted to start the topic. In my opinion LG did great with the 1 watt back speaker but kinda dropped the ball with the earphone Jack. I feel like it could be louder or maybe it's the earphones I'm using. I'm using the monster DNA ear buds and I just wanted to see what other user recommend for this sweet device.

Yeah, my HTC One's loudness was massive compare to G3's. And I'm using Sony MDR1-RNC headphones. The sound quality is ok but could be 2-3 steps more on the loudness scale.
The sound quality seems pretty good with my VSonic GR07 MKII , but more quantity (volume) is needed to drive them. I'm sure everything will be great after root is acquired and audio mods are applied.
I use the Shure SE846 IEMs, so I have a lot of isolation going here which means the volume is MORE than adequate, even for hip hop and metal. What really amazes me is just how CLEAR the sound is. No Viper4Android and even Spotify's "high" setting sounds great. MAN this is an upgrade from the Nexus 5.

Ha HA! Howdy friendo. Yeah, this is a diesel device for audio.
Volume through headphones depends on their sensitivity, does it not?
I have too many pairs of head/earphones to list. I just wait for good prices. I don't post over at Head but so many good recommendations there cost me much coin, lol!
I'm digging the sound quality no doubting that. Anyone know what DAC is in the G3?
It does, but raw output power is what it is and the G3's isn't nearly as much as the HTC M8, but honestly with a good pair that isolates well these have plenty of volume.
I used to have more than I have now, I'm keeping it simple because once you spend $1000 on headphones it's time to re-evaluate your life.
As for the DAC, I have no idea. There was a Wolfson DAC in the G2 but apparently not in the G3, but the tests I've seen on the G3 show that it's got the clearest audio output of any android device currently so who knows what's in there.
I just use the ones that came with the phone and there alright. I have used my K701's with the phone (directly) and i get a pretty decent sound out of it, loud enough though not super loud obviously.

So basically you're spending all this money on devices and then skimping out on the audio, ensuring that your expensive devices sound absolutely terrible when you actually use them for music. Good job.
Ok thanks for your help.

Good to see someone has good taste in headphones.
I have the gr07's mk1
Great sound for the moolah
My main qualm with my old Z1 was the fact that it was way too low in terms of sound volume. The G3 is definitely louder, but not quite as loud as I want it.
There is a quick fix if you're rooted though, the thread can be found here.
The LG quad beats are actually quite good fit stock headphones. They are much better than apples ear pods. I normal just use my Boise free style in ear ones because they are comfortable she have decent sound quality. I just hate how all headphones are made for apple and you can't use the volume toggles, but the center button works for Google now.

That is weird that more headphones don't come with android-capable controls. It's not like the company needs different controls for every model, and there are a LOT more Android phones out there.
So I've tried my SE846, my VModa M100, and my Final Audio Pandora, and yep. This phone sounds awesome. Every single time.
