Headphones that you have verified that the mic and music control function properly. - T-Mobile LG G2x

It seems that people are having compatibility issues with headphones working on the g2x. I thought it would be nice if there was a thread where people can list what headphones work and those that don't. I can verify that the buttons do not work on the klipsch image s2 and the headphones that came with the nexus s.

Just got my Zagg SmartBuds, and they all functions work perfectly, from volume control to answering/ending calls. PLUS they not only sound great, but w/all the sliders I can keep the cord from going rogue on me. They also came w/4 additional [5 total] ear bud adapters to fit different ear sizes.
I was worried, but I figured [since I bought them during the 50% off sale] worst case scenario I got a gift for my girls iPhone. Was a win-win, depending on how you look at it, more of a win for me.

Yeah, I have the Klipsch Image S5i headset and the play button works to start/stop music and answer/hang-up calls but the + & -- buttons don't do anything.
The Image S5i's are designed for Apple products, I have compared the 3.5mm tip connections and they are the same configuration layout that I need for my G2x, but there is obviously something different in the command structure to activate functions.
I love the quality of sound from the S5i's and they are more rugged than the Image S4's I have. I am crossing my fingers that someone will come out with an app that will allow all the functions to work. I found one on the Android market that looked promising -- but it only works with Gingerbread, and I am running Froyo (rooted), so we may just have to wait a little longer for the compatability/upgrade to be introduced in order to get the headsets fully operational (hope it is very soon).

I use my iPod earphones.. the mic works great and so does the play/pause/skip control, the only thing that doesn't work is the volume up/down

i bought the Jaybirdgear sportsband. they are more useful for people who excercise but they work great. all buttons work as well as mic

If you have Mortplayer Music, give it a try.
I can do play/pause (one press), next (two rapid press), previous (three rapid press) with Audio Technica iphone headset adapter.

Anyone tried the nexus one headphones with the g2x? Pause/play works but next/previous track buttons don't with stock player, winamp, or poweramp.

Audiophile headsets?

I use my headsets about 80% of the time... that said the oem headsets are not as loud as I would like them to be. They are ok and just that.
So I'm wondering if anyone knows of any good audiophile headsets for around $50-$70 bucks? I saw Zagg has some but I didn't like that the volume on the headset used a sliding mechanism. I would have preffered a rocker or buttons.
I liked the zagg because it had the mic and everything. I wouldn't buy a headset without the mic for my phone.
I do use the phone as a media player (movies & music) so does anyone have any sites I could check out?

Headphone.com is my go-to source for headwear. There's a bunch of headset options in your price range.
look up Grado. they make great headphones... they have entry levels in your price range if you find them on sale.
here's a good site:
http://www.audioadvisor.com/products.asp?dept=45&sort_on=title&sort_by=&view_all=true
they're also on amazon for the same price.
Check the impedance (given in ohms)
The volume issue most likely has to do with impedance. Headsets with high impedance will have less volume than those with lower impedence. Higher impedance models will tend to last longer, though. Just something else to keep in mind.

shure has headphones made for phone usage with mic and such built in.
I've got Ety's, Shure, v-moda, Sony, Bose, etc and I keep coming back to these:

I have the ones without the inline control, but I think I'm going to get these or go back to Bluetooth with the Motorola S-10 HD when those come out on the 28th.
Will these work for sure on the G2?? Looks like I'm going with these...
The grado's are too expensive with a mic. Its redick and the reviews I have read aren't that positive compared to the sonys.

I haven't had a chance to use those specifically, as I have the "normal" version of those to listen with (and they sound great with nice, tight bass). I went to test my v-modas with my G2, and they keep launching Subsonic rather than the stock music app, but I assume that it works just like it did on my Nexus One. The volume buttons will NOT work on the Sonys (or any others that are for the iPhone 3GS/4), but the call button should work with the music player and answer phone calls.
Kicker makes some of the best headphones. I have the EB91M. The fit very deep in my ear and have tons of bass. I got the M series so I would have a mic to use with my G2.

I have V-Moda Vibe Duos for awhile now. They've went through 3 designs the past 3 years I think. So far, the headset works pretty well but the headphones are more tuned for dance music meaning you'd have to boost midtones in the EQ to flatten the spectrum you hear. Otherwise, it has been pretty good so far.
A pair should set you back $40 - $70 depending on where you find them sold.
whenever this conversation comes up, I have to pimp the Head-Direct RE0.
$350+ sound for ~$70
I currently use:
Sony Ericsson MW-600 Stereo Bluetooth headsets -- they have a mic clip with OLED display that clips to your shirt and a stereo jack to use any headphones you want to it. They work great. Also has an FM Tuner built-in if you want to use that and can pair to two BT devices at once.
I also use Sony MDR-NC7 noise canceling headphones. They are fairly inexpensive for what they are -- $50-$70 USD (I paid 50 at Target). They have decent noise cancellation and are very comfy for long airplane rides. Sound quality is above average. Great for the price, but its not the best.
As far as earbuds, I use the ones that come with my SE BT headset and they sound pretty good. Again, not great, but good enough. The real limit factor is the phone itself. It's not the best audio player in my opinion.
Where can I find these?

NOTE: There is no microphone, which might make this pointless.
Also, if you want accurate sound reproduction, these are EXCELLENT. However, if you need ear-drum bursting bass, look elsewhere. I can honestly say these phones are some of the most accurate I've ever used, and I've bought some EXPENSIVE cans in my day.
JL buds, they require 24hr burn in, the have a wireless phone with a mic, and the sound quality is amazing.

Inear headphones with inline mic and play/pause button

Has anyone tried MEElectronics SP51P Sound Preference In-Ear Headphone with Sound Tuning w/Microphone to check compatability with the G2x?
Or does anyone have a set of inear headphones with inline mic and play/pause button that they can verify works with the normal music player on the G2x?
No interested in opinion just facts
I'd also like to know of a set of inline headphones with music controls for the G2X. I sold my SGS4G to get the G2X and decided to keep the headphones after learning the G2X doesn't come with headphones. The only issue I have is that the PowerAmp headphone control(s) that worked on my SGS4G do not work on my G2X. I could pause play and skip songs on the S4G, but I can't even pause/play with the G2X. I'm using the same headphones and music player so I'm at a complete loss. I'm willing to buy headphones with built-in music controls if they'll resolve the issue but I'd love to have proof.
I have a set of nuforce ne-8. The buttons could pause/play/skip but now that i try to do it, it won't do it. I gotta play around with it some more. These headphones are wonderful for the price.
I bought Jlab j3m headphones with mic and button from amazon for $20 for the G2x.
All functionality is there (answer/hang up, play/pause) except for voice dialer. In fact, a long button press will bring up the voice dialer, but it gets stuck on starting up.
Hopefully there will be a fix for this...
MEElectronics M9P: The headset sounds GREAT but mic/button functionality is a bust. When using the headset to answer a call, the mic randomly works and the phone drops the call. Could be a bad set???
Plantronics Backbeat 216 All controls work except volume but SOUNDS LIKE CRAP
I'll be returning The 216's and exchanging the M9P's. All I really want is great sound and ability to take phone calls for <$60. Any suggestions?? Thinking about Jbuds J3M or J4M; Klipsch Image S2m; or Monster iBeats (refurbs)
Any experience with these?
*I'm using G2X with PowerAMP music app
My klipsch image s2 button does not work for controlling playback on my g2x....bummer.
Bose MIE2: it is tricky to control music. You have to have the correct timing to make it work.
Sennheiser MM60: play/next works

Anybody tried any skullcandy buds on this phone yet? What's better jbuds j3, or scull candy titan mic'd?

All functionality is there (answer/hang up, play/pause) except for voice dialer. A long button press will bring up the voice dialer, but it gets stuck on starting up.
Has anyone successfully used voice dialer with Wired headphones with an inline mic?
I can live without the voice dial, but my klipsch s2m's that worked great on my n1 are a nightmare on the g2x. Button does not work, phone randomly pauses playback, voice dialer actually opens on it's own sometimes. It seems like it is getting false button presses. Really annoying to have to pull out my phone when doing something active to have to answer call/resume playback/skip track.
Here's a question? Does anybody know if the Optimus 2X headphones work on the G2X, if so it may or may not be worth just picking up a pair of those. Which will probably be much easier to get a hold of. Just a thought. I might do that. (USA version got shafted on accessories)
Spoke with jbuds rep and they confirmed that the g2x jack is setup differently than most phones. I don't know what to do about this. Here is the link they sent me. Jbuds are setup for Mic, ground, l, r

Awesome, these might be IT for me then.
Please let me know how they work if you get them. I spoke with a jlabs rep and they confirmed the jack on the g2x is laid out differently than what the jbuds are designed for, but if they work, they work. Everyone designs their headphones to work with apple products, so outside of lg directly I think finding headphones designed to work with this jack layout isn't going to happen.

I spoke at length with people at lg and jbuds. Basically they won't work unless the board in the mic assembly is compatible with the phone. So an adapter won't fix it. There are reports that jbuds work, the rep couldn't verify because they don't have the phone there, but he has heard they work too. I'm going to give them a try when I have a little extra cash. The other options are lg wired headphones or stereo bluetooth.

These work great
I've been using the Nuforce-NE-700M. They work great! I'm using them with the paid PowerAMP app on stock G2x. The only thing is no response to long press for voice dialer. Since I haven't heard anyone else using long press successfully, I'm guessing it may be a software issue. The mic,play/pause, skip, back and ans/hu functions all work flawlessly. The voice dialer does work but only if you initiate it from the phone. Setting up a short cut/gesture should be an easy work around. (I here gestures may be apart of the CM7 release for G2X..??)
They're a little pricey for some at $75. However the sound quality is equivalent to headsets that sell for double.
I produce and engineer in my home studio and have compared them to my over-the-ear SONY MDR-7506 which are a professional standard. IMHO the NE-700M's actually perform better. Bass is full, tight and punchy and doesn't distort mid-range. Highs are crisp and mids are well defined. Isolation is supreme. As with most high-end speakers, they will need a few hours "burn in" time out of the box, but seem to sound better each time I use them.
BTW for those that don't know-press mic button twice to skip track and 3 times for previous track. Here is a pic of my settings in PowerAMP (I believe they are the same for the stock player)

Wired earbuds and mic combo

Has anyone gotten a earbud/microphone combination to work properly? I just got the PhillipsSHH8006/28 headset . Audio works fine, both in call and when listening to music, but the microphone doesn't seem to work at all. I plugged them in to my friend's phone and the mic worked just fine, so it seems unlikely that it's a physical problem.
I'm currently using the EE4 Gummy Charged ROM on the imnuts PBJ voodoo kernel, so it could be something with that, but I thought I'd ask in accessories first to see if anyone has had any luck.
Interested to see if anyone else comments on this. I have a set of Senneheiser headphones with the exact same problem. Weird thing is, I went into the Verizon store and the headphones worked fine on other phones (including my old Incredible) and the salesman's cheap headphone/mic set worked fine with my phone.... can't figure it out.
I've been able to get a couple of headphones w/mic working with my charge.
Just Wireless Headset - Black
Rocketfish Mobile - Hands-Free Stereo Headset - Black/Red
I got the first one from eBay for less than $2 and the other one for about $5.
I'm running on rooted EE4 with Voodoo
I went on Verizons web site and it said ibeats would work with charge....nope. I've tried the Bose...nope...gonna call Samsung.

Wow, glad I checked here first... I was just getting ready to buy a few pair of the Klipsch Image S4i earbud/mic headphones...
Has anyone actually heard from Samsung? I own the Charge and my girlfriend owns the i100 Gem (from a Verizon reseller). We go to the beach a lot and I'm looking for something we can use to listen to music and take phone calls. I was hoping the Image S4i's would be the move, since I own Klipsch speakers and the brand is outstanding.
I know the Image S4i's are certified to work on iPhones. What do you guys think?
I used a headset/mic that came with my work blackberry bold, and it worked fine (both headset and mic).
Just tried my new Etymotics HF-2 headset and it works perfectly. My voice came across loud and clear according to the other end, I could hear with the volume set low, and I could pause/play videos and end/start calls.
Operation was the same as my iphone 3gs included earbuds, but the quality reminded me of my old ER-4Ps.
Wanted to revisit this, as I never wound up buying anything (yet)...
Has anyone found a good earbud and headset combo? Anything that has functioning in-line audio controls?

just ordered rocketfish
Glad I read this thread, I just lost the bluetooth device that came with my DC and was looking into a replacement and think I would just prefer a set of phones with a mic. I ordered the Rocketfish ones mentioned earlier and will let you know of my result. They only cost a dollar too so that's a nice plus. I used to be a hardcore audiophile only listening to high-end ear buds for the subtle differences claimed by each manufacturer. These days, i'm satisfied if i even hear the slightest bass response so "quality" is not my largest concern. I currently prefer an unbranded (except for the marketing company that gave them to me) pair of ear buds to my bose ear buds.
Just got my rocket fish. I thought it was 2 earphones instead of one, but at a dollar i don't really care much, I usually listen with one.
But they work fine, and even better with the headset control app. Lets you add a variety of click combinations and functions.
Using them while i save for some if those fancy etymotics.

Am I correct in saying that Voodoo Sound only works on Froyo ROMs with Voodoo kernels, because source code is not available yet for GB kernels?
Sorry, new to Voodoo.
If you buy the voodoo control application it can add the module to stock rooted kernels so you can have voodoo sound on GB

Yeah, only think that doesn't work is the bass boost. But the newest Voodoo Control works on all 2.3.4 kernels so far, no telling whether it'll work on 2.3.5 though. Still, very much worth it if you ever use headphones, voodoo sound is awesome.
On this topic has anyone found a cheap set of wired earbuds from Walmart, Target, Bestbuy, or some other local retailer that will work with the Droid Charge and Yahoo Messenger's Voice or Video Chat?
Need to pick up a set this week but not sure which earbuds will work for the charge and which ones won't.

It would help if you listed a budget, since headphones can go from $2 to thousands of dollars very easily.

I think I would say the absolute highest id pay is like 100. But that's a little steep. I'm aiming for around 30-40 and quality. just seeing what's a good bang for your buck that would certainly be an upgrade to cheapo stock iPhone ones. And The samsung ones the phone came with, the left earbud stopped working a couple days ago. And I haven't even played it that loud.

I bought my Shure 115's for 55 on Amazon. A little out of your budget of 30-40 though. At that range, I'd definitely look at the sennheisers. I had the CX300's and loved them.

My bad, I totally missed out on the volume control part of your original post... The Shure's I have don't have controls, but I know they have a version that has it. Not sure if it works though.
The Sennheisers do not have controls.
V-Moda is another brand that I think does well with hip-hop music, and I know they have phones that have controls on the wires.
Yup - if you were looking for generic headphone ideas I'd be able to help, but the volume/call control/mic stuff leads to "no clue".
In my opinion, Skullcandy headphones with Comply foam eartips provide great "bang for the buck" but I have no idea whether their call control features work with our phones. My Skullcandy Titans are plain vanilla "listen only" units.

Those don't work with Android apparently for the controls. They just released these for that very purpose.
But yeah, on a budget, you can't beat these earbuds for sound quality.
The one that came with the phone dont do it for you? im on the same boat as you music wise and after im done listening to music i need some time to recuperate my hearing back. sounds all smuffled.
what im saying is that the ones that come with the phone are fine. good bass. i really like them.
I have iBeats, and really like them but the volume rocker does not work. would be nice if it did
you wont find volume rocker support, just a single button where the function depends on the app. i think it has to do with android not having a set standard on pin-out so the app developers dont write these things in (there are i think 4 posible pinouts, 2 posible ground loop locations of those pinouts, the i9000 and vibrant are different from and completely incompatable with the captivate and infuse do to a different ground loop location, not sure which standard the other sgs devices use..) you need a single button set of headphones with a mic that is compatable with the iphone, not the vibrant/i9000.
i hear that dennon makes amazing headphones in the <$40 range. year shure and klipsh and etymotics are great but for what you are looking for the dennons are about the best in that price range. dont go with the ibeats monster doesnt know jack about headphones and all there products are grossely overprices, i bought them out of curiosity and yeah they're loud, have nice packaging and good build quality but the sound isnt so impressive.

The left ear speaker blew. So that's why Im in the market for some decent ones. I was thinking of just ebaying the same OEM ones. But that Klipsh s4a is sorta intriguing. Pricey though. I'll take a look at the dennons. Thanks.

If you are willing to spend $50 then I'd recommend the Plantronics BackBeat 903+. They are bluetooth with builtin working call controls, pause/play button (tested and works with pandora and music player apps), and volume control buttons.
Yes they are pricey but with all those features and being completely wireless (minus the cord that connects the 2 ear pieces) they are well worth it. The sound quality is awesome IMO.
Edit: Here'e the link for them on Amazon.

looks cool, never tried. but even this app doesn't add volume rocker support. it is not a feature availible on android as far as i know. this app interperates the single button press and relays the command to android. volume control is accomplished by a long press or something.
but i can confirm that you want apple compatible headphones, just ones with a single button, not 3! the ground ring and control ring are identical to the iphone. do not buy headphones labeled for the galaxy s if there is such a thing. att must have spec'd the headphones to be iphone compatible to ensure there headsets for the iphone would work. there are atleast 4 standards for pinouts and the european sgs and the vibrant and others use a different standard.

Anybody know of good headphones with a wired mic on it? Volume controls and play/pause preferable but not necessary. Thanks guys.

Hi,
I'm not sure what your so its kind of hard to recommend but I like a lot of bass and as a result I absolutely love my JVC Extreme Explosives and they also make a version with a mic.
I'm a big fan of the etymotic MC series. If you want something cheap, the JVC marshmallow ear buds are around $20,and work great. Haven't found anything with working volume buttons. Only center.

+1. My wife has the marshmallows and loves them. They can be had at any Wal-Mart for cheap. The reason the volume buttons never work is because android and iPhone use different systems. There is a mod you can do with a soldering iron and some resistors, but I've never done it so I really can't comment on how well it works. Use Google and you will find the how-to if you are so inclined.

I've been happy with my Skull candy ones with a mic. Just can't think of the model
