I am after headsets that wrap over ear for running, so cant use the stock ones that just fall out - does anyone know if any exist that allow the use of the skip/pause/mic feature?
I had a thought that the myriad of iPhone accessories might be an option, so tried some old headsets (had the same plug segments etc, but the skip track didn't work - only pause/play). Might have been the old headsets, but dont want to buy new if they aren't compatible. Should the iPhone/iPod ones work?
Any help appreciated

They are a bit uncomfortable, but I think it is because I have a bigger than usual noggin. Anyway, after a while I got used to them. They sound really good, they do not block outside sound, which is a plus for me (can hear traffic/cars behind me), the battery is rated at 14 hours (I have never been able to drain it completely), and they have very strong btooth reception. They even have a built in 4 presets equalizer. Only downside I have found is that microphone call quality is not great. Usually the person I am talking to cannot hear me clearly.
Oh, and the music controls work perfectly.

It's not the old headsets, I will confirm that iphone controls won't have skip tracks working with android phones. I think there are very few sports type of headsets that will have android controls. Your best bet is probably to look into the bluetooth headsets as they will have the controls working.

Looking for a corded stereo HEADSET with microphone for telephone calls and listening to music with a USB connector for AT&T Tilt. THANKS for any recommendation…
Get one with a regular 3.5 jack and an adaptor - more choice that way I would have thought.
Please let us know which you end up buying, and why.
Cheers,
Joe
Don;t you get one for free with the device?

Does the W100 work with any other software than media player?....
Will Conduits pocket player work with it using some existing plugin?
tried it, all I know it will work with the audio manager and the WMP, but not the core player. not tried with the pocket player 3.50 , the last few times i installed it, it messed up the menu of the phone, so I will not use pocket player again.

Subject volume
now if i want to lower the ring tone down when i am in office it works simple and easy
but what stupid it is my sms ring is still like a loudspeaker, i have to manually go inside setting and do the volume control. completely nonsense.
after office i put my phone on high but i usually forget to go inside tweak things and do the sms volume up and high ( i missed so many imp text)
and in silent mode if i try to play some game it will have music to start with because the media volume is again different level needs another correction there...
such small things which are very imp and even after 4yrs of android no luck....
come on if i want to link a contact i want to type and search a name and do it quick rather i scroll all the names.

thanks this sounds worth it.............
but this being a widget i am sure it will use continuous ram.
You could also try an app called Quick Profiles - works well and you can create your own custom profiles as you see fit.
Oh thanks ......i like the audio widget but i must give this a try since the audio widget makes my slow phone run even slower......
i read it some where samsung galaxy s was the fastest phone...... why is the ram/rom part always been used more then 70 %..........

Hello ,
Since my old HTC Artemis is dying slowly, I have bought an HTC HD2.
I am looking for a headset plugger(where I can plug in a 3.5mm headphone) which can connect to the HTC HD2 and has a mic, music control(play/ pause/ skip and call pick up/ cancel facility. I read through the old threads and the closest I came to was combining the original headset with another one.
Please suggest me a working one.
Thanks
I would suggest bluetooth stereo headphones. They have the buttons to do all your music playing or phone calling all while your phone stays in your pocket. I use them religiously. I'm at work right now using them. Also use them with the bluetooth on my laptop.
Are there no wired sets who can do this as well?Bluetooth would be awesome had they not needed the battery to be charged.Which model do you use and recommend?

There are, but once you go wireless bluetooth you don't want to have wires again. I know I don't. I have a set of RocketFish. These specifically. I love them.

You can find in the ear sets also. The specific set you get should suit your taste. Just make sure it has buttons for call, play, forward, back, up vol and down vol. I can start/stop my music, skip forward and back through songs, answer or send a call to voicemail, start a call with voice dialer, and control the volume all with my phone in my pocket.
Hi
Thanks for the info.
Would you have a model number for this specific one?And it also has a built in mic?
Thanks

Yes it has a mic. I use it for calls and have been told it sounds good on the other end.
*edit*
If anyone buys these... read the directions and change the sound settings. The last setting offers great sound for music, videos, and games.

Hi. I'm about to get this phone. I borrowed it for few hours from my friend to check some things.
Currently I'm on P20 pro and I have a problem with Bluetooth audio in note 9.
Take a note, it's not something that average "Joe" would be able to hear.
My headphones doesn't support aptx but it doesn't matter because I'm comparing the sound that I got on p20 pro and note 9 (exynos, but it doesn't matter for bluetooth I guess).
I bought my Bluetooth headphones (JBL) mainly because I was tired of choosing my future phones by DAC quality. In theory Bluetooth headphones should sound always exactly the same, because digital to analog converter is located in headphones.
Now the thing is it doesn't. I noticed FAR worse frequency separation on note 9. P20 pro output (and not only p20 pro, my PC, TV as well) is more... How to put it... Punchy? Especially with hi percussion and snares. Additionally high freqs are hissy and upped too much. I tried with Poweramp and direct audio (bypass all Samsung software audio eqs etc) with exactly the same settings on both phones.
It's seems that Samsung screwed up somthing on audio encoder level. Exactly the same was S8+.
And it seems that it's not only me:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8+/help/bluetooth-audio-bad-quality-t3622984
Is there any way to do something with it? This thing is keeping me from switching.
In developers settings have you set the bluetooth audio codec etc.? If not first try changing those settings and see. See the screenshot , you'll see the address numerous settings which should improve your sound quality.

That stuff usually gets reset when you re-pair your headphones. I've never heard a difference in quality when using them (and I can be picky about audio).
Hi all,
I have a Mi 9 lite and a pair of bluetooth headphones. Both are supposed to support a range of bluetooth audio codecs (1) , but I can't get them to use anything but SBC. Trying to find a solution has been frustrating: across the web there's many people who encounter the problem and some find solutions as well, but none work for me / the Mi 9 lite.
In developer options I can see the alternative codecs (2). I can't change any of them until I connect the bluetooth headphones. When connected I can choose any codec (3) , but after setting the value and leaving the settings page , it switches back to SBC.
- I've tried every suggestion I could find: set with BT on, off, either connected to headphones or not connected , battery saver switched on / off, you name it.
- Some people report that when they switched off dual audio the problem was solved (4). But I can't even find these advanced bluetooth settings, they seem to be a samsung galaxy feature.
- Others simply don't have the problem, they can switch freely as long as their headphones support the codec.
- Some people don't have as many codecs, etc etc.
I've pretty much tried all the suggestions and then some, and I'm out of ideas except for chalking a pentagram on the floor and dancing around it with the phone in the middle .
If you have a suggestions or ideas where to look next I would appreciate hearing from you. If I should provide some additional information I'd be happy to do so.
PS I'm no developer but I've been on the android SDK website and found some posts suggesting that the thing to accomplish would be to edit some config file that has the bluetooth codec priority list. No idea if that is of any use though.
EDIT: Having a great time bouncing around in the SDK and finding out what ADB does. Little idea what I'm doing but I'm getting a little taste of why people like messing around with their devices so much. Would rooting the device allow me to explore the filesystem and see what's in /etc/ and so on? Or is that just the fast lane to Brickville?
Dark background screens are mine, light one shows advanced options others seem to have. Numbers correspond with those above

any luck with this issue? any discoveries during further investigation? I've run into this problem frequently on many xiaomi devices (and others). from what I understand, just because they show up in that list, doesn't mean they apply to the given paired device capabilities, which ultimately dictate which option will be used. basically, it doesn't mean anything, until the devices are paired, then it is trial and error to see which setting "sticks". very frustrating to say the least.
