Hi there,
the included headset has this nice small control element for the music player but sadly you cant unplug the headphones and use your own ones. I checked HTC's website for a small adapter, so i could use my own.
But sadly the adapter only offers a call accept/call end-button, no player controls.
Does anyone know a good headset/adapter with player controls like this, but for 3,5mm, working with the HD2?
Thanks!
wait a minute... you cant use your own 3.5mm headphones? that would blow. i hope you misunderstood you.

Nono, you didnt get me right^^...you can use your own, but then you have no microphone and no music player control through this small control unit.
What i want is to disconnect the headphones near the control unit so that i can use the microphone/control unit from HTC with my own headphones! But there needs to be another 3,5mm jack on the control unit...but obviously there isnt...
The link ive included in my previous post shows what i mean, its a headset from HTC for the Hero.
Hi there,
Why don't you use Shure SE530? It may not have the controls you are looking for ... but the sound ... ... just makes you forget all the things you have "thought" you wanted =)

Cause i dont want to spent half of the money the HD2 cost me for a pair of headphones God damnit, those things are expensive!
I wanna have the best of both worlds, thats why i would like to see this remote control with a separate 3,5mm jack for my own headphones...
I won Zagg headphones - good sound quality and it has a control button and hardware volume control. The button works with HD2 - you can stop/pause in the HTC Player. I did not check what it does during a call.

On the headphones that are included the answer/hangup button also performs the play/pause function. So I think they should work for you. Just no Fast Frorward/Rewind/Skip function.
maybe you can try bluetooth headset. I have Samsung SBH-500, sound quality is brilliant, and it have controls exactly what you need... (plus volume controls )

I agree! That's why I took out the soldering iron (and looking glass) and mounted my Sennheiser CX400-II's on the control unit of the standard headphones.
What I meant to say was that the HS U350 set may work for you because the one button should probably have the same double function as the middle one on the standard headphones

Great tip!
So you don't even lose microphone, because it's in this button housing right? First time, that you can do something with this equipment

Yeah, maybe thats the only choice we have left, if HTC is not able to get another type of headset out in the next weeks...
wont chopping and soldering headphones create massive oxidisation of the lead. Not to mention the increases resistance for the signal to go through poor quality copper cable then suddenly in to good quality OFC copper.
You'd probably lose 50% of the quality the Sennheiser are supposed to punch out.
If controlling music is the problem then you will either need to solder an existing control pad onto your headphones or use something like the rce100 that lets you use your own headphones.
If it's just the mic you need then you will probably be able to use your headphones as I've currently got the westone um3x (which has no inbuilt) mic attached to the hd2 and the phone automatically routes calls to the hd2's inbuilt mic when i'm listening to music with mortplayer. So provided your hd2 isn't out of reach you will be able to listen through your headphones and talk through the handset like on Nokias.
Does anyone know of anyone who creates mic/music controls that take your own headphones that might work? Doesn't the iFone support this? If I have to settle for play/pause only I will, but I'd like to keep the track skip if at all possible.
I have a pair of Bose earphones which are really nice, but it's much easier to hit the pause on the HTC 'phones when someone wants to distract me in work than turn the screen on, go back to the music screen, then hit pause.
I have one of these from MobileFun:
http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/apple-iphone-stereo-handsfree-adapter-p15226.htm
Less than £12. It has vol slider and call/answer, you plug in your own phones. The call button works as play/pause in WMP, Sense and PocketPlayer, but haven't been able to get it working in MortPlayer. If anyone has any tips for getting it working in MortPlayer I'd appreciate it!
i have this combo, that work very nice

with this cab you can use an iphone cable right??? that was what i was looking for!! thanks a lot!
but it also takes calls etc too right?
I was searching for a headset covering the needs for good sound, in ear technique (and I mean REAL in ear unlike the stuff that comes with the HD2) and the possibility to use some kind of remote control.
I found the Ultimate Ears Super.fi 5vi, but am unsure to which amount they are working with my HD2...
Anyone got them?
If so: To which amount are they compatible?
IMHO, any 35mm headset + any phone with 35mm jack = any guy + any girl
Explanation:
the parts should fit together to produce something else.
How compatible the 2 are, totally depends on you: there ARE many people who can't hear the difference between a $10 headset vs a $300 headset...
Perhaps you can share what you mean by not be compatible?
Thx for the answer, but I didn't mean if I'll hear anything at all! ^^
(both have 4 conductors, so at least they should produce sound)
I wanted to know if the remote control will work for at least answering calls and hanging up without producing anything glitchy like powering the whole thing down or calling someone else.
As far as I've heard AUX and GND Conductors are changed in the Iphone plugs, so I don't know if anything strange will happen when using a headset made for the stupid Iphone with another smartphone.
yes it will be compatible.
altho i only got the metro fi 200vi. pretty damn sure the others will work.
great mic with button functions and superb audio quality. probably the best i've heard in many yrs.
one press to ans/end calls, or one press to play/pause music. double quick presses strange tho, dials last dialled number. but overall pretty damn nice IEMs for only S$95
Thx a lot!
I guess they didn't change the remote control from one vi model to another... at least I hope so!
The Double press thing is a pity, but not fatal... It's just a different function. ^^
since a few days I have the Bose Headset. The only remote is a button to pickup calls but the sound is really fantastic.
which model number of Bose Headset?

I've got the Super.fi 5vi, they work to answer calls, hang up and will even call the last called number. I've never tried to control manila's audio player with them, so not sure if that works.

These are mine
The Samsung headphones that came with my tab do not work. They work a little if I pull the plug out part of the way but not when they are plugged in all the way. All other headphones work.
Are you sure you plugged them ALL THE WAY? If they're 100% in, the gold contact should be barely visible.
I thought they were in all the way but they weren't, had the same problem as you; you may need to push them a little
I think its the way the headphones are made. Ive had that issue, just gotta push a little harder than usual

same mine. more than that....i went back to the shop, and I was very surprised when the sales man, show me what I was supposed to do........try to push a little harder than usually ....
You guys were right, I was not pushing them in all the way. I feel like a dumb ass but thank you all!
same here.
at first i thought that the left headphone doesnt work.
later i used them again, pushed a bit harder and the left one works ;-)
same here but not with stock headphones. Replaced them for "ALTEC LANSING Muzx Core" model, didn't push enough and thought they didn't work. good quality price value better than stock
my stock ones worked fine, but the headphones from my n900 didnt work at all =( wierd they seem to have the same 3 contacts i guess there switch around or something..
The stock headset is a big problem for me, it kept on falling out. Maybe I just don't know how to use these headset, I've replaced the soft rubbery thing with a bigger set that came with the headset and still won't stay in my ears. I tried the headset from my iphone and it works as a headphone but the mic doesn't seem to work when making calls. The control seem to be able to pause/play music. The volume control on the apple headset doesn't seem to be able to control the volume though. I need better headsets.
This is the only issue that I had with the stock headphones. The jack is TOO SMALL! I'm having a hard time removing it every time I need to! I'm scared that if I pull it using the cord it'll rip apart.
So far I, and everyone who's played with my Tab have had the same issue with plugging in Headphones. You really have to jam them in there...

I think this is the build of Samsung stuff. I tried Apple headset one day. But the volume keys and the mic did not work. So is the answer button. Anyhow the out of the box headset is far more quality that the iPod ****. However I found out Addidas Schenheiser headset gives the best sound quality. It's like honey to the ears.
Apple headsets are flimsy easier broken yet expensive
So, I've searched all over, and I can't find anyone who's had this problem, so I don't know if it's just my set up or what.
I got a set of $50 Skullcandy 50/50's for Christmas from my fiancee, and they're not fully functioning on my Hero. When I plug them in, I get the indicator that shows the headphones with microphone on the top of my screen, but the only thing that works is the sound. I can hang up and switch lines with the button on the microphone, but the volume up/down won't work, and the microphone does not push sound through. When I push the volume up/down buttons on my headset, I can hear clicking on the other end of the call though.
Now keep in mind, I've tried these earbuds on a couple different phones, and they work just as they should. They worked on an iPhone 4 and a Droid Incredible.
Is there something I'm missing, or a fix that someone has found to resolve this? I even went as far has having my phone replaced, and it does the same thing.
Thanks in advance.
Also, I'm using the stock Sprint ROM 2.32.
I have the same issue with AOSP 9.9.2 and plantronics headphones with mic. If i figure anything out ill let you know.
I have the same problem with some scosche headphones. They change the volume skip tracks, answer and hangup, and I can hear people on the other end. Problem is they cant hear me. Mic won't function. And it only happens on the hero.
As far as I can tell, the hero is just finicky and doesn't like certain headphones/mics. doesn't matter what rom or kernel you use.
I just gave up on it.
Yeah, it's kind of irritating because I spent so much money on them. I'll just wait it out until I get a new phone. I just can't figure out how it won't work on this phone, but it shows like it should. It's just blowing my mind right now.
I have 3 different pairs of skullcandy headphones 2 pair of the smokin buds and a pair of lowriders and I havent had that problem with any of them on my hero...I have an Alltel hero and I switch Roms 2-3 times a week. The only thing i can think of suggesting right now is to plug in the headset with the phone off and power it up with them still connected.
Found something that may help..but I cant post links so go to your webbrowser and type in code.google.com/p/toggleheadset/ and download the widget. Hope this helps.
I have the smokin buds to and I love them they work well with my hero
Sent from my HERO200 using XDA App
So why will the Smokin' Buds headset work, but not the 50/50's? What's the difference?
thank you!

Turning off the device and turning it back on with the headphones should work. Try it out. It actually work for me.
Weird, I have never had an issue like that and I have been through every ROM you can name.
I recently destroyed my OM headphones that came with the phone and had the arduous task of finding a compatible headset that offered quality and functionality.
I found out that these do not work
iBeats Dr Dre edition- mic does not work and volume buttons do not work (100)
Skull Candy- Mic does not work but the play and pause buttons do(60)
and finally the one that did work
V-moda vibe duo- full functionality but only comes with an answer button which does play an pause. (100)
feel free to add your experience with purchased headsets
Sound quality was the best on V-moda, then iBeats, then skull candy
Skull candy is a company and not a specific headphones... they have many models. As for the skull candy full metal jackets, the mic does work. I cannot compare them to the others mentioned, but the sound is very good.
My Marshall Minors work on the focus. Not the cheapest but they are pretty cool looking and sound great.
this might be a little late but I need some new headphones for use at work and do not want to spend a lot. I searched "ehs60annbe" on amazon and found plenty of merchants selling what appear to be the exact headphones that come with the phone.
These ones are $6.83 +free shipping
http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-EHS60...EEZO/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1299825988&sr=8-1
I lost my pair that came with the phone, so I was excited to see these.
I ordered a pair and they should arrive tomorrow.
If they are indeed the same as those that came with the phone, I might order me a couple more - I really liked them, and they worked perfectly with the phone (control wise).
Thanks for the post.

Unfortunately I'm having problems with these headphones - for some reason, the controls will only increase the volume - you can't decrease the volume.
Perhaps I received a "bad" pair? Anyone else tried these?
The Focus has a VERY clean audio output. I've fed it into my home stereo and was impressed with the detail and clairity. I listened with Etymotic 6i headphones and was blown away. After that, the included headset sounds muddy with a artificial bass boost.
For those who can afford to splurge on a headset, consider the Etymotic mc3
Any recommendations for matching the original pair that came with the Focus?
My priorities:
-Must be able to trigger voice control
-Must have working microphone
-Must be able to answer/hangup calls
-Must have volume up and down
-Must not be expensive
-Should be gel like for in-ear
I've tried iPhone ones, they don't do volume/up down.
I've tried tried the common silver Samsung one with one button - the button doesn't pick up or hangup calls.
Help!
This ones looks identical to the oem ones and they are pretty cheap!:

Headphones that WILL be fully compatible with wp7, and sound pretty decent as well.
Though it will probably be a few more months until they are released.
Anyone had any luck finding headphones with working volume and answer call buttons? Preferably ones with a more sturdy cover over the connector since my cable broke because of too much twisting and bending.

jkimrey, Did you find a solution? I have the same problem. I read somewhere that it's because Samsung is using a newer standard that allows for TV Out or something. But this is really annoying.
same here i cant find any that the buttons fully work on, that i'm willing to buy. I got some on amazon that only volume up works. my wifes blackberry ones that came with her torch work but i cant find them anywhere. The cat ate my original ones

I can say that these are the ones i got from amazon same thing with the button... It doesnt even look the same as the OEM ones.
Has anyone tried the Zagg Smartbuds? they appear to have all the controls that one could want [play/pause, skip FW/BK, Volume, answer/hangup(I assume would work with voice activation as well)] but they are a bit pricey.
Am I the only one who would like a non-in ear headphone that works with the Focus?
At this point, I just want something that's compatible! I have had zero luck so far in getting earphones compatible with my Focus. I too found the common Samsung ones. Thankfully, I got two pairs for less than $10. Guess what they work perfectly with? My effing iPod touch. GAH.
I honestly have no idea why this is so hard...
V-Moda =
I have to second the V-Moda headphones. I'm currently using them in conjunction with Monster replacement foam tips (medium) and the sound is amazing (albeit the highs are a little muffled but the bass is punchy and responsive). It is a one button setup which bothered me at first, but with a dedicated volume rocker on the device it's really not so much of an issue that I thought it would be. If the Focus only had an equalizer of some sort to bring out the highs, these headphone would be perfect. The mic quality in the headset is beautiful and these 'phones are as durable as all heck (they've been: stuck in a car door for 50 miles, went through the wash, stepped on, trampled, chewed on by a dog, caught on bushes etc.) and have never even began to show signs of wear. If you can live with pocket adjusting the volume, I would recommend getting these.
I should probably mention that I DO NOT work for V-Moda despite how it sounds... I just happen to be a sort of audiophile and while the Focus itself doesn't have the BEST sound quality (I'm coming from a Cowon S9 lol) these heaphones help to bring out its above average playback capability. Another side note is that in response to the OP, the Modas don't only pause/play/answer call/hang up. While listening to music playback you can double tap the button to skip to the next song or triple tap it to skip back.

The iPhone headphones work decently. They don't fully work (microphone / volume up and down), but pause / play / next song/ previous song does work. Before the mango update, I was only able to get the play to work. It seems Microsoft is slowly making the iPhone headphones compatible with the Focus.

Does anybody have a link to a hardware specification for what these in-line buttons actually do for the WP7 phones?
Pretty much all the headphones with in-line controls and a microphone have 4 conductors which are:
- left-audio
- right-audio
- common/ground
- signalling/mic
Here is the spec for IPod Shuffle remote headsets:
pinouts.ru/PortableDevices/iphone_headphone_pinout.shtml
david.carne.ca/shuffle_hax/shuffle_remote.html
So the three buttons operate as follows:
Button 1 - short to ground through 10K resistor (up)
Button 2 - short to ground (answer/hangup/play/pause)
Button 3 - short to ground through 4.7K resistor (down)
But the ipod remote (no mic) has an onboard microcontroller that receives DC power on the mic line as well and is used as a sort of authentication device allowing the Ipod Shuffle to uniquely identify the remote through a challegage response tone scheme. I'm not sure if this is included in the iphone remote cause the circuitry would probably interfere with the mic signal.
Headphones with only one button always short mic/4th conductor to ground so that will always work, but I bet WP7 and Iphone/ipad specs for the resistors for the up/down buttons are different.
I hope WP7 remotes don't have the microcontroller.
I may disassemble my OEM Samsung headphones and try to figure this out. It would be nice to get some Shure or Sennhesier hi-end headphones and plug them into a little adapter that provided to correct buttons. All the hi-end earbuds are iphone/ipad-only.
Presumably I could just cut off the ear-buds on the samsung headphones and solder some of the Shure connectors on there - then just plug in the Shure ear-buds. (all high-end Shure earbuds have replaceable cords
