I previously had a HTC Droid Incredible and it was wonderful because it came with headphones that I could use to control my music from the cord and answer calls with the built-in mic.
Are there any specific headphones that work as such for the Droid Bionic?
* Music controls (play/pause, next, previous)
* Answering phone calls
I am not sure if there is a universal standard that works with all phones through the headphone jack. I would prefer the connection through the headphone jack rather than the micro usb port, but I am craving the music controls, so I could care less really.
Klipsch image S4 Android.
There are about 3 diffrent versions to these. You want the android version.

Do you have any requests in terms of sound quality? I have a set of etymotic headphones and they're definitely a great option for sound quality. I don't have experience with a pair that has built in controls, but they do have a couple options. They aren't the cheapest, but they're definitely a good brand. The one thing you should be warned about with them is that they work best with the tips that require them to be inserted well into the ear canal. It creates a proper seal and contributes to the audio quality, but some people find that uncomfortable. I personally found it a little awkward feeling at first, but I quickly grew accustomed to it.
Here's their range of headphones + mic/controls:
http://www.etymotic.com/ephp/hscomp.html
They indicate which options should work with which devices... there are a couple that are marked as working android, so I would assume there is some standard that they know is used. I have no way of knowing for sure if it will work with all android devices though.
It would definitely be nice if they had some standard naming pattern for the proper signal or whatever is different between devices so there was a clearer understanding of which headphones to look at.
Thank you guys. Im not too worried about the sound quality. If I'm going to pay 100 bucks for a pair of headphones, I gotta imagine they have some good boom. I just needed something to keep me going without having to pull my phone out my pocket all the time.
Like I mentioned earlier. The Klipsch image S4.
Read reviews for it online.
The sound quality IMHO puts Beats to shame.
The price is a bar in. Deffinetly not expensive compared to other brands.
Plus the android version of those headphones allows you to control your music player.
Most wired headphones that allows you to skip track, pause, play etc. are not compatible with android unless it says so in the specs.
Get something that you know will work. Nobody I know who ever brought a klipsch has ever had second thoughts.

Other than buying new headphones, is there a way to get iphone headphones to work with the bionic? I already have a pair and would kinda like to avoid making more of an investment. Any type of app that would allow the buttons on the mic of the iphone headphones to work with my bionic to change songs and answer calls?
Good question. Maybe there is.
I haven't yet seen a music app that supports wired iphone headsets controls.
WP7 and blackberry do but if it does exist for android, i have yet to see it.

Hopefully one of our friendly neighborhood devs will be able to put something together.
have you thought about the rocketfish headphones from best buy? they work really good and sound good with or without poweramp and their only 60 bucks and their wireless. able to place voice commands, answer calls, change tracks, volume, pause/play, etc. i was skeptical about buying them but they get used daily.
The Jabra Clipper is awesome...
I've tried several different headphones and bluetooth earpieces ever since they came out. After a while of trying different ones I've come up with my favorites, especially after having an Android phone. I'm on my third Droid (OG, D2, now Bionic) and have been able to maintain these two ever since my first one.
The Jabra Clipper is great because I can listen to my music in stereo, wirelessly, and then answer any calls I may get without missing a beat. It automatically pauses the music when someone calls in. Also, I can control the volume and tracks with the clipper.
The Plantronics 975 is the newest version of my old, old one. I've had this earpiece longer than any other because it has its own case so I don't break it. The little case it comes with also has a battery in it so you can recharge it by putting it back in the case.
Just my two cents. Laters...
Motorola S305 Bluetooth Stereo Headset
I have the Motorola S305 Bluetooth Stereo Headset $38 on Amazon (2/15/12).
You can find it here
It's lightweight, pairs easily with my Bionic and HTC Flyer, controls volume, next, previous, pause, volume up/down, accepts android voice commands, and answers calls.
It is great for the gym and the volume is more than adequate.
I highly recommend it.
klipsch is always good for earbuds, they always fit well and have great sound quality coming from an in ear setup. I currently use the Klipsch s4 to listen to music. Never knew there was a specific earbud for Android, will have to get those next time!

I just recently got me the LG Tone. http://www.lg.com/us/cell-phone-accessories/lg-HBS700-tone
I have really enjoyed it because of its convenience. You can just have one ear piece in if you want. Has magnet holding area for each ear piece. Comfortable Nice controls all on head set. Decent sound quality as well.
Little pricey but good battery life as well. Built in Mic blah blah blah.
I enjoy it quite a bit.

I believe the Nexus One comes with headphones that do this, but not certain
I have the Holua Skull candy earphones that have a mic and they work really well. The button press will play/pause and answer and hangup calls. Nothing really special other than that.
I am using the set that came with my wife's blackberry (that I just replaced for her with an Incredible) and they work fine with both calls and audio playback. I am not sure that you need any special brand to get to work with your phone.
I just picked up a random $20 set of in-ears with a mic from microcenter, they're marketed for iphone, but worked out of the box.
I think I'm going to buy the Nixon Whip Mic headphones.
I have bought in ear type of headphones from the VZW store that have worked int he past. Too bad I broke them. I stepped up to a bluetooth headset.
I'm using the set from my iPhone until I decide if I will buy the Bose or something else.
has anyone tried the psp go headphones? they work really well on my tp2!
I tried to talk on the phone with a standard set of headphone (no mic) and it worked just fine--the phone uses its mic for calling if no mic is plugged in. YAY.
I'm using the iPhone headphones which work just fine

I'm looking for in-ear headphones, compatible with HD2. I have found these:
http://cgi.ebay.de/In-Ear-Stereo-He...80633234?pt=Handy_Zubehör&hash=item2303625c92
Would button and mic work with HD2?
Have anyone managed to find in-ear headphones with 3 buttons like HTC ones are?
Yes and as the ear plugs are just plugged in you can replace them with better ones if you wished
I advise against this earphones...it seems very poor quality...
Can you recommend ones then? I'm looking for in-ear headphones that with HD2 compatible controls.
Hey,
Don't know if anyone had answered your last post or if you got any headphones in the end.
The main thing you need to ask yourself is whether you want to have the functionality of the buttons on the headphones to control the phone (like answer/end call, skip music track etc.). Or whether you would rather get a pair of headphones that are of higher quality for music listening purposes.
Unfortunately, I doubt you will be able to find any decent quality ones with integrated controls (without spending a lot on a named brand like klipsch or b&o etc).
So really it is a personal decision on how much you are willing to spend, how comfortable you want them to be and for what purpose you are using them for.
There are many types of headphones/earphones to choose from, so you need to decide what's best for you.
Being an audio engineer, I go for quality. I own a pair of Klipsch Image X10i earphones (the ones that go inside your ear) for use when I am wanting to make calls etc as well as listen to music. The quality is great and the controls are useful. However, if I'm on a train or something and want to just listen to music and am not expecting calls, I have a pair of supra-aural headphones (the ones that sit on your ear) and also a pair of circum-aural headphones (the ones that enclose your ears). I have a pair of Sennheisers and a pair of Koss. Both of these have their advantages/disadvantages and are comfy in different ways.
Of course, if you're not bothered about audio quality, then there are plenty of cheap versions of the original HTC earphones. You need to make sure that they have a 4 pin connection and are NOT designed for blackberry or LG as these won't work (the pins are in a different configuration).
I hope that helps!
If you need any more guidance, let me know - I'll subscribe to the thread.

I have bought philips headphones in our local shop. I'm not picky about audio quality, but i don't want headphones to tear apart after some time of listening. And I'm happy with build quality of ones i bought.
I don't really need HTC buttons, but they are handy and while i planed to buy those headphones from the start, i have decided to have first peek at ebay to see if something decent with HTC buttons is there.
Anyway, thanks for your help.
I recently rediscovered Pandora and I also found iHeartRadio. I found my favorite morning radio show on one of the stations. Sadly I haven't found my favorite local station that has the morning show. I work off and only catch part of it on Mondays while driving out of town. These with the Nexus S are awesome.
I'm clueless on Bluetooth headsets. I discarded the ear buds or disregarded them actually and used them for the first time this weekend after using a pair from the Galaxy S last week. Those hurt my ears but the NS ones I used last night were pretty comfortable and was even able to sleep on my side.
So on to the wants...
Price: 50 or less. Maybe more if you can provide a very good reason.
Sound Quality: I can't tell the difference between CD and MP3 so they don't have to be great, good will do.
Volume Control: I really want this on there. I'm going to need to hear people speaking to me while I'm listening to music, but I'm going to need to turn up the volume when I take a call.
Multiple Phones: I have the Nexus S as my personal phone but I'm a foreman at work and have a BB Curve that the company provides me. It would be pretty sweet if it would answer both phones. The BB rings more often. This would be the very good reason I mentioned above.
Charging: I'm not sure how this works on BT devices. Educate me.
Comfort: This is key for me. I'd hate to waste my money on something I'll put on a shelf and look at. Like I said the buds that came with the Nexus S are comfortable to me but I've never liked a pair that were like the ones in the Galaxy S.
I just did this same search. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to find anything that supported A2DP for less than $80 (Canadian). I went with a BlueAnt T1, primarily because it has an Android app that does Text to Speech for SMS. Pretty happy with it, aside from the price.
I was in the same need as the OP but I've found the sollution in the Sony Ericsson MW600 BT headset. The sound quality is excellent, loud and clear, it has built-in FM radio which works very well and it can be paired with 3 devices at once. It also has volume control, play/pause, fwd and rew buttons on it.
You can use you favorite set of headphones with this little gadget .. I highly recommend it.
Went with the Sony Ericsson. Thanks for the suggestions. Should be here by next weekend or later. Free shipping for the win!
Maybe these might be something your looking for. I personally have them they have good sound have volume control, track skipping and phone button to take calls. Quality is ok, not as nice as some other headsets but not bad for the price. http://www.amazon.com/Motorola-S9-H...R0BW/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1318213100&sr=8-1
Looks like you made a decision already, but one I totally recommend is the Motorola S305. Its similar to the suggestion in the above post, but with better reviews. If anybody else is looking for some good Bluetooth headphones, check these out.

I've also used for about 2 years ,w/o any complain, the Nokia BH-503 - http://www.amazon.com/Nokia-BH-503-Stereo-Headset-Black/dp/B001DEWSWA
The only downside of those headsets is that you can not use them in a business enviroment or while driving so you will need a second BT device for those situations. That was the main reason I've sold the nokia one and bought the SE MW-600 ... it is meant for general usage (and for the FM radio ).
Jabra Clipper works with excellence.

Hi, I' looking for a wireless headset for gim use (running on the tapis roulant etc...)
Do you think this Sony Ericson can be used for this?
As long as you can clip it to some clothing it should work great. It is very very light so it should stick nice for any activity.
I'm using it also for mountain biking and it never fell off ... not even when I'm going downhill.

I use a Sony MW600 with my phones (n7 hasn't arrived yet, but plan on using the MW600 with it as well). I think that the Smart Wireless Headset pro replaced the MW600, but not 100% sure.
I *totally* recommend the mw600's (and I'm assuming the newer Smart Wireless Headset pro will be similar in quality). The sound quality is excellent. I'd call myself a casual audiophile... I appreciate good sound even if I don't have a "golden ear". I really don't detect any difference between the BT audio and direct cable with the same headphones.
So that being said, I used the mw600s till the included ear buds (in ear buds, not quite IEMs) wore out. I now use the teeny MW600 with my Sennheiser HD25 SPs. LOVE THIS COMBINATION. It's amazing how long the MW600 drives the HD25s, how loud and clear the audio can be.
And the Sony BT dongle handles calls as well, of course.
Get it (or the smart wireless headset pro, I'd assume they are similar in quality, but best to research) and the HD25 SPs and you're golden.
Note that I did recable my HD25 SPs and built a split cable that pigtails short off of the headphones so I can clip the Sony dongle to my shirt, along with an extension if I'm using the HD25s hardwired.
I currently use some MM400 sennheisers, works great on my N7, iPhone ect
The forward/backwards function works too!

I use a set of JayBird Freedoms that I use with my Motoactv and my GS2. Sound quality is pretty similar to my Bose IE2's. They carry good range, highs and lows. I have read that they have a great warranty and good customer support. Luckily I have not had to put it to the test yet.
Jaybirds here also. I've had them for about 8 months and love them.

If you are looking for bluetooth, make sure it has the apt-x codec. It makes your audio files sound like a wired headset. I use the HTC stereoclip in my car and for my EVO LTE. The soun difference is amazing. The samsung hs3000 has it also and they come with earbuds and it is only $34 on Amazon. Look on the Evo lte forums under accessories to learn more.
Has anyone used the LG Tone - HBS700 Wireless Bluetooth Headset? Looks like it has good reviews and it would be comfortable to wear. I'm debating on buying it. I listen to music relatively frequently as i'm out and about and would like to go wireless for convenience, but not sure if it is an absolute necessity.

Bluetooth audio is about convenience, but there really are some gems out there for audio quality.
I'm still using a 5+ year old set of Jabra bluetooth headphones I bought new from Tigerdirect when they mysteriously went on sale for $25 shipped.. and a few days later they went back up to the normaly $125... not before me advising a bunch of co-workers at the time and letting them try them out.
This was when Bluetooth 2.1+edr was pretty cutting edge, and for wireless headphones they sound fantastic.
That being said, when I get my Nexus 7 16gb pre-order in, I'll test them out... but on a new device I have no doubts they'll sound great.
I also have an old pair of KOSS headphones, with full range, but they look ridiculous with large bold print on each ear, but they sound great.
I'd update that, but I rarely wear headphones while at home. I work for a large Canadian Bank doing internal IT, and I wear a monural plantronics headphone most of the day, so I give my ears a break after hours.
Hi guys
I was just wondering if the included white earphones (with the mic + remote) that we got with out Note II are any good? I have been using other ones + the bluetooth Jaybird BlueBuds X, but I was wondering if the included ones are any good? I suppose I'm looking for the answer of whether they are any good for included earphones, and if they are any good in a more general term?
The reason I ask is because I have not used them or removed them from their packaging since I've had the phone (over 6 months) as I wanted to have them as new for when I eventually sell the phone. But curiosity has got the better of me but I'm wary of opening them in case they are awful.
Thanks
They are better than Apple's old earbuds for sure, but can't beat the EarPods in terms of mids and lows. I'd say they're good for bundled earphones, but sound too weak to be good IEMs.
The problem with the stock Note 2 is sound level is too low and bundled earphones are no solution for it.

The problem with cheap earphones - low sensitivity. You need to drive them with a high output signal level, and when it's loud you also facing distortion. Do you want to try something good? Use UE 600vi (these ultimate ears, which i have reviewed in my signature link, now on sale on amazon for $59) - they have very high sensitivity and even at low volume level everything will be loud and clear, not to mention these are the most comfortable in-ear headphones I ever had, and also come with mic and controls where using JAYS or 3D MAVEN free apps can turn single function button into multi-click playback control.
Regarding OP question, I have blue buds X as well and you will laugh you arse off going from bbx to stock headphones. No comparison. Btw, only a few carriers included stock headphones with their Note 2, Verizon never included headphones so you will not loose much in the value of sale if you open these up to test them out Worry more about your screen, battery cover, and the area around micro-usb connector that gets warned out.

Thanks for your info mate, will give those a look. I'm on the lookout for good earphones with a working mic that I can use when not using the bluebuds. It's a shame they don't have 3 buttons but I can live with that if they're the best in their price range.
On a side note, curiosity got the better of me and I tried the stock ones. They were ok but yeah, as expected they weren't great.

True, but you should do this mod if you're rooted.

55db was plenty fine with me, and I wouldn't recommend going over that.
The problem with headphones supporting apple controls - only function button will work, but not volume control. But that single function button will play/pause audio and video, will pick-up/hang-up call, and using JAYS or 3D MAVEN apps you can configure double-/triple-click for other functionality. I typically have double-click to skip next and triple-click to skip prev. Plus, those free apps allow you to set delay between clicks so there is no mistake (setting it longer will eliminate errors). For breaking headphones in, refer to my UE600vi review where I have a link to on-line white/pink-noise audio player loop. Hook up your headphones to laptop and let it play for 10hr, just don't put it on your ears It's the best way to break any headphones in, and with UE600vi it help with bass definition. Still not as deep as Klipsch S4A but, UE has it's own driver for mids/highs - it creates almost 3D soundstage. Of course, you can get more expensive $200, $300, $400, etc earphones from Klipsch, UE, Shure, Seinheiser and others, but for a budget price I found UE600vi to be the best. They also have regular UE600 without inline mic/control for the price, but if you interested, get the one with in-line remote/mic.
My Samsung pair has been breaking in for 6 years, and they've gone through the washing machine once!

They are actually quite good for OEMs. I like them MUCH better than most earphones in the $20 and $30 range. But nothing beats a premium earphone experience.
For me the quality of the original samsung earphone are really good.. I use, for hobby, piooner hdj2000 and the sound obviously is better, but is not bad for the original..

That's what I think too. For IEMs, you'll need to go past $50 to really make a difference. I personally prefer on-ear and over-ear sets over in-ears though.
I am VERY happy with AWEI ES-S90Vi that I bought on focalprice . Com website
They were $12 including shipping and blow away the included white Samsung earbuds (which I always thought were great till I tried Awei). Mic works perfectly for phone calls however the headset volume controls don't work, only the hang up button (skip songs etc). There are apps you can get to get around that issue.
