Headphones with remote control - HD2 Accessories

Hello, I would like to have better headphones for my htc hd2 and would like the headphones to have the volume and music controls. So far, I haven't found such headphones yet, and also, will the remote control be functional on the hd2?
Which models would you suggest? I was also thinking of buying the nokia remote control for headphones and to attach whatever headphones you want, but still, will the remote be usable on hd2?
Any suggestion is appreciated.

May be you can customize & combine the idea (volume & remote control).
I've made a thread about fixing a headset that you can use to customize the headset

Oh, nice idea, but I would prefer something to buy and to be ready to listen

So far,I've searched & I can't find similar product
So,my suggestion is the closest option

Hi, I'm using bluetooth headphones BACKBEAT-903 and work perfect, you have music, volume and call control. For a wired option I have the ZAGGsmartbuds allow play/pause music, call last number and have volume control, the price isn't cheap but if you get a 50% off code is more reachable.
sorry, I cannot put the links because I'm newbie. For Backbeat check in ebay and for smartbuds in zagg.com.

Headset Creative

Hello, I'd like to ask you what do you think about using Creative HS-930i with HTC HD2. This headset is for iPhone but it has 3,5 jack so I think it could be able to work with HTC HD2.
Would you recommend me another headset?
I need a headset with microphone and some buttons (play music, pause).
Thanks.
i think it won't work
i once tried the original apple headset with controls, but they remote didnt work.
so i guess this is the same here.

Bluetooth headphones

Hi!
I have a B7610 Windows Mobile.
Sometimes it annoys me that I have to pull out my phone to change the song.
I had (still have) a PSP and it has a nice remote attached to the cable and I can change songs with it.
Is there such a device that could allow me to change songs in my Windows Mobile?
I use currently S2P, but could change it if there is a better player (for this remote control feature).
I have noticed that there is only 3 data types in the only input - headphone jack, so don't think it will be possible to add the remote there, so I think the only solution will be with Bluetooth. Also I always wanted wireless headphones...
Btw, it would be really nice if the bluetooth device would be just a device with a headphones jack, because I like my current headphones.
But my priority is to get this remote control feature!
i have a sony MW600, it alows me to change songs, and have a standard 3.5mm jack so you could still use your preferred headphones. downside is that the screen indication does not display songnames and i dont know why.

As I see there is no microphone at all in this headset, only volume button!
im considering to buy new Philips Citiscape Downtown
i heard great reviews of it and it have controls too.
for who likes good sounds, its $99 on amazon.
Try to download Jays Headset control app and its free, and see if it works, i manage to fix mine using the default headset, change single click to next track because the double click dont work with Gingerbreads only in Froyo
But yeah im looking also for a good earphone with complete, mic, next, play/stop, ff, volume keys control like those on Sony W8 walkman.

Bluetooth Receiver for Headphones/Stereo

Curious if anyone has tried one of these or something like it.
http://www.amazon.com/Belkin-F8Z492TTP-Bluetooth-Music-Receiver
It is a Bluetooth receiver which allows you to plug into it, a stereo or in my case a pair of nice existing (non-bluetooth) headphones.
I've had bluetooth headphones before, but they were expensive and not all that comfortable. I am not a fan of ear plug type headphones and much prefer a good, well fitting headphone.
I already have a good set at work, were I can completely drown out the noises in the office and concentrate on coding. With the N7 having Bluetooth (the Kindle Fire didn't), this becomes an option for me instead of using my phone.
Note that the picture is a little deceiving since it doesn't have an internal battery and the cable for power which is NOT shown is actually needed.
I'd rather buy a real bluetooth headset with controls, mic, etc. but replacable headphones.
http://www.amazon.com/Ericsson-Hi-F...&ie=UTF8&qid=1343307680&sr=1-1&keywords=MW600
You can put any 3,5mm Headphones in this one, mic is buildin.

I still use this to this day! The only other BT headset, also made by Sony Ericsson is the hbh-is800 http://www.amazon.com/Sony-Ericsson...-2&keywords=sony+ericsson+bluetooth+hbh-is800
The Mw600 is great because you can use any set of wired headphones in it to create a bluetooth experience! And the MW600 doubles as a FM receiver. The clip on unit is a bit touchy because it uses touch tech to control the volume, but the play and media controls have dedicated buttons which works.
And dependant on your device you connect it to, you can also see track info on the clip. I use it on my Sensation and it works. The track info didn't work on my old Nexus One but I lived without it.

HBH-IS800 is too pricey, in that category I'd go with an Sony Smart Wireless Pro, also from Sony, but with integrated FM and MP3 Player (you can insert a msdhc card).
But my point was that the MW600 is about ~20 Bucks more and has all the advantaged a real headset brings. Controls (Play/Pause/Track Control/Volume), a Microphone, a Display that shows you caller ID and Playing Track, ..
Picked these up for $20 on Newegg the other day and work great despite having a huge head
Could I put my bog-standard wired headphones into these? The image examples show it being connected externally to a speaker, so I don't know if it has a headphone jack on the receiver.
Would be good if it does, would like to avoid plugging my headphones into the Nexus 7 directly because moving my finger around the screen makes a buzzing noise (interference in the 3.5mm jack from the screen I guess), bluetooth could probably eliminate this.

Love, Love, Love my MW600, it's worth every penny! I use it at work, at home and when I go on walks or hikes.

If you are referring to the SE MW600 then yes! You can put any standard 3.5mm headphones into the MW600. I use my Shure se215's and they are great!
Funny thing is I have the Amaze beats headphones and the Sol Republic Tracks HD, both have controls on the wires. And I plugged both of them in. While the music came through, neither of the headphone's buttons work. The Amaze headphones do not control the volume or anything and neither do the SOL Republic cans-which I kind of knew anyway because they are for "i" devices.
HOWEVER, using the MW600 I can use the bluetooth unit to stop/pause and volume control on it and it doesn't matter what headphones you plug in. Major win there again by the MW600!! :highfive:

Was actually talking about the Belkin receiver, but scratch that, the MW600 makes more sense! The fact it's portable and doesn't need mains power is a bonus too. Will be ordering that, thanks!
edit: I assume it outputs through bluetooth sound from games, video players, etc., and not just music, right?

Just to report back. The answer is YES, bt streaming is for games and movies as well, in the MW600 case anyways .
I have also successfully paired the MW600 with my PS Vita, just as an FYI.
FYI - MW600 will not play while charging, if that matters to you...I have the Creative WP-450 which can play while charging...

I love these, call and music control and comfortable to wear. I usually tether them to my nexus 7 and gnexus to receive calls and listen to music at the same time.

Also, a wireless receiver like the airport express works great . Especially if you are networked. I have an airport express attached to 3 home receivers . 2 with optical and one aux. I can stream to all of them synchronized and even use my computer to control each separately and use the nexus as a remote. Only issue with Bluetooth is you need to be fairly close or in line of sight to make it work reliably.

Got my MW600 today, quite impressed with it, and no buzzing from screen now! Only downside is the audio in MX Player is out of sync by a second, the lip-synch doesn't match with the video, is this easily fixed?

Did you try playing with the different settings? Like software acceleration or HW acceleration?
I honestly haven't watched the transformers movie with dialog to see if the vids and audio synch. I'll have to report back on Monday.

Just tried the Transformers movie, lip-synch is spot on. Guess it's just an isolated issue with MX Player, was worried for a moment it could have been because of wireless latency.
Only got S/W decoding available, probably because I'm playing an SD video? Going to try some alternative players.
Edit: working fine in Dice Player
I bought one of these for use in the car
Bluetooth Audio Receiver
works flawlessly and under $10
I've been using the Jumbl - http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00GJW1HDM/ref=wms_ohs_product?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Much cheaper than the Sony, much smaller, and streams for 10-12 hours per charge. The only drawback is that it doesn't have built-in FM radio. However I gladly trade that for the miniature size and weight (about the size of a quarter, and the weight of 2-3 quarters) ... Clip slides over the seem at the bottom of a tshirt and is plenty to hold it's tiny weight in place. Can hook it anywhere.

Headphones And Mic

Hello,
Although I like my One, the battery and bad camera have to go. Thinking about the G2 but both trips to verizon and att stores left me a bit disappointed. I use Bose In Ear MEI 2 headphones. The One let me use the mic and button on headphones (Jay's Headset Control), however, when using it with the LG mic did not seem supported and even Jays headset control couldn't get the buttons to work for music.
Do you have any experience with these headphones?
Additionally if these don't work are there any headphones that will work letting me speak via mic and use controls for music? I hate taking out the phone everytime I need to change a song.
Thanks!:good:

I just got these today from best Buy Mobile
LG HBS730 Tone+
Now I don't even have to touch my phone. And the battery is lasting from what I see. I might do a full review another time (tons of them on youtube). But ALL features of this headset work including FF and Rewind. Had to take a call with them and the headset vibrated and my caller had no issue with hearing me since they have noise cancellation features.
They said you can connect 2 devices to these things. From reviews, one reviewer had this connected to his phone and his PS3 at the same time. Which is a plus to me so I wouldn't have to disconnect from one device to use it on the other. For music, since I use Viper4Android and the volume boost hack, music sounds great (couldn't tell you from default as I'm not a fan of default volume on Android phones)
But I can testify all controls work and, since both the headset and the G2 are apt-X capable, audio quality is really good (said this earlier I know).
Oh, there is an app that LG makes called BT Reader+ that will read to me any text message or notification I get. Comes in handy when I don't even want to touch my phone to respond to a text right away. Unfortunately, you can't respond unless you use Google Now or Voice command.
I dont understand why your bose wouldn't work. Unless they are designed for the iphone? I have a pair of phonak 122s that have just the single button and they work.

They were designed for the iphone, however they work on my htc one. I originally got them for the iphone.
Looks like it was a bad pair of headphones, my girl stole mine and I used yours, (same ones) one pair worked one didn't, bought the phone can't wait to test it, headphones work nice and proper.
