Hi Guys
searched in the accessories forum but could not find a definite answer.
has anyone tried urbeats monster by DRE and found it to work with the note II. by work i mean all three buttons (answer, volume up, vol down)
it is written on the case that is supports HTC mobile phones, but i dont know if it supports our note II
its quite expensive so i am not going to "buy and try"
hope someone has an answer for that, amazon link below

No Volume. Quaility don't match price. I OWNED ONE SET OF THESE AND ONE SET OF Bose Mie2 by far bose much superior audio and comfort. Dr Dre only is a brand not quality and long research you find on Bose or Sennnheiser (another brand much better than Monster.
Bose Mie2i is the same Mie2 with volume control such feature is named Control Talk and only work on Apple devices since is not an open standard.

Thanks, do you know of any headset where the volume controls work with the note II (except the default headphone that came with the phone)
Only those made by Samsung. .

I know that the wireless beats work but are a little pricey. I also know that the Motorola S11 Bluetooth headphones work and sound awsome. I have owned beats earbuds to the beats pros, these to me sound great and retail for far less $129 the wireless beats are 279 last I checked but I have known someone to pick up a set for 209 through Verizon with their discount.

Thats definitely not true, there are plenty of non samsung headphones that will work. I have beats studio with mic and volume control and they work on my note 2 and note 3. Its not the headphone its the mainly the rom youre using and the drivers installed in your phone. If youre rooted, i recommend viper for android (free in playstore). Hands down the best driver/equalizer out there.

Lies. Video or it didn't happen.
Neither the Monster iSoniTalk (with single play/pause button and mic) nor the non-Monster mic with volume control cable works for me. I've tried it on 5 different ROMs (2 stock Samsung), 2 phones (Note 2 and S2), both rooted and all of the times I've tried, the volume buttons don't work.
Out of curiosity, which ROM (and what "drivers") are you using?
iSoniTalk:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Non-Monster with mic and volume control:
Exactly. Samsung uses specific resistor values inside of their remote for volume control. No ROM will be able to "correct" that.

Yer it definately is not true. He is chatting nonsense claiming the samsung headphones are the only ones which will work.
OP, these work flawlessly with the Note II. Tested on stock rom

I actually find them to be a bit better than the ubeats you are talking about. They're essentially a slightly newer version of the stock HTC One earphones + include volume controls.
Its sad that all this guy wanted was an honest opinion on the urdeats, instead he got an argument about whether things will or will not work on a Samsung device.
I am using slimbean rom and neak kernal.
My urbeats work great, and sound fantastic.
as i do not have dog hearing, my beats pros and urbeats have some of the beast sound I have found in headphones.
admittedly i have not tried every brand, but I am very happy with the quality of the highs and lows i get from my beats especially with lossless music.
as for the other controls.
I can answer the phone with the middle button on my urbeats as well as start the voice recognition with it, not at the same time obviously.
the mics pics up sound great.
as for the other 2 buttons on the urbeats they do not work for volumes for me (music or phone call).
I actually didn't even notice this till i saw this post and decided to try it out.
I am going to look into this further and see if there is anything i can do about it.
The biggest issue i see with beats is they get a lot of hate for being a "popular Brand"

Take a look at the link i posted above you. The Urbeats I got free with my old HTC phone, so I have a suspition these other ones are very similar and may have even had a similar manufacturing process even though HTC could no longer use the "beats" logo on them.
I have genuinly found them a bit more crisp than the urbeats, with thumping bass and fully working volume controls. At that ridiculously low price I'd urge people to try them and they play especially nice on the note II with fully working controls.
Personally it was a no brainer for me to replace my urbeats with these, and the controls are a massive bonus. They're definately much better sounding than 11 quid earphones.

Thank You.
very helpful and informative.
I'm always on the lookout for new quality products.
This is what XDA is all about
I think we are talking about two different things. Off-the-shelf Beats come with iPhone controls with multifunction button (MFB) and volume control, just like every other pair of headphones. MFB works with any Android phone for playback/call/transport/GoogleNow, while Volume will not work because iPhone volume control uses different set of resistors inside of the remote. The same way Samsung OEM headphones will not work with Apple because Samsung uses it's own set of resistor values for volume control. That is why today a number of manufacturers provide two different versions of their headphones (like Klipsch or V-Moda) by including either MFB without volume (for Android) or MFB with volume (for apple).
You mentioned above HTC phones with their version of "custom" urBeats. With previous HTC affiliation with Beats, those headphones were specifically made for HTC/android where volume does work. I can't confirm 100% since I never used any HTC specific headphones (might make sense to test a few out), but I'm starting to notice a lot of references to HTC headphones working OK with Samsung phones, so I assume HTC specific headphones use the same resistor values in their remote for volume control. Even with my recent review of UE900 replacement cable which was designed with original Samsung in-line remote/volume, they also referenced compatibility with HTC which makes me believe any HTC specific headphones will work with Galaxy phones (MFB and volume controls).
Bottom line, regular off-the-shelf Beats volume control will not work with Galaxy phone, but custom made HTC Beats will.

Yeah, but interestly enough, my HTC urbeats volume control do not work with the Note 2. However, the slightly newer model of the HTC One stock earphones with volume control work fine.
That's why I suggest them as an alternative to the urbeats, where I also genuinly believe they sound better too.

The OP asked if all three buttons (volume up/down, play/pause) worked on the Note II, so all this discussion is more relevant than you claiming to own a couple Beats headphones. Something just for relevance's sake.
I have read that urBeats' volume buttons are supposed to work on HTC phones, but I have never seen anyone confirm it for sure so I assume They don't actually work. but people insist that they do. Those people are probably HTC owners who don't actually have a pair but have read the compatibility with HTC phones and brag to others about it.
I know for a fact, however, that the urBeats' inline controls work on the iPhone and other Apple devices. The controller looks very similar to my Beats Executive's inline controls too, which also only work on Apple devices. So from this, I conclude that the urBeats only work with Apple devices, and therefore do not work on Android devices.

I'd like to bring your attention to this picture:
This is a picture of my Beats Executive retail box. As seen here, the box clearly says the inline controller's compatibility with a number of devices. The controller is indeed compatible with HTC, Blackberry and Android devices. However, they all share the common characteristic of only supporting the use of the middle button, used for calls and playing/pausing music. This is why there are two separate diagrams; to differentiate iDevices from the rest of the crowd.
Unfortunately, the Executives are and will be the last Beats headphone I will ever buy due to unsatisfactory experiences, meaning that I will not buy the urBeats just to settle this matter. I'll leave that to someone who has already owns a pair and can prove the inline control's compatibility with the Note II with substantiation. I now only buy replicas, as they easily match the genuine article's material and audio quality without me having to spend hundreds of dollars just for the red 'b' on the side. In the end, Beats are just for posers - something I had to painstakingly realise for myself. If it's just for the looks, why not spend a sixth of the price for 100% of the appearance?
Long answer short:
The inline controls of the Monster urBeats by Dr. Dre have partial support for Android devices, but the volume controls do not work.
I now await a counterargument.

Post above yours I said the volume controls do not work with the note 2. However, I have just plugged the urbeats in to test it again and they seem to work.
Not sure why I assumed they didn't, but I can now confirm that YES, the volume controls on the urbeats work perfectly fine on my stock 4.1.2 note 2.
They don't with my nexus 4 though..

Do you have a pair of stock Note 2 earphones? If so, can you try them on the Nexus 4? Also, install this application (on either the Note 2 or Nexus 4, both would be good) and within the application, press the buttons on the controller.
The key codes should be as follows:
Play/pause: 226
Volume down:114
Volume up:115

I'm pretty sure the Nexus 4 didn't come with any stock earphones at all, and on top of that it doesn't support volume controls on any headset (correct me if I'm wrong). Maybe it had something to do with cutting costs...
Any luck?

It is awesome. Let me explain why. The soundchip used in Boomsound speakers are not only for speakers. HTC intigrated that technology into headphone jack too so you get that high quality sound when you plug in your headphones too.
Yep, I tried it, crystal clear.
I suppose that GSMArena review isn't that reliable, seen their comparsion S4 vs HTC One and audio quality there is from some other galaxy
Could anyone support me with some more reliable audio test, i'm very interested in HTC One headphone audio quality? (With some decent headphones, like B&W C5)
Comparison threads are against forum rules
But it's not really a comparsion thread, we are just trying to find out how good the HTC One perform with headphones.
Could anyone post a good audio review (not GSMArena) or post the Rightmark results here made by themeselves?
You're comparing the audio quality against other phones, which is very subjective
But feel free to carry on, dont mind me
You just like to see the world burn? lol ok nevermind
So any one with One how is the audio?
So any updates?

I'm going to get shouted at for this.
I have a pair of Dre Beats Studios, and iPhone 5 and HTC One, and a recent memory of a HTC One X, now sold.
With the Beats Equalizer on through a pair of Studios, it sounds absolutely fantastic, better than my HP DV6. Things aren't so good when you turn that equalizer off, however that's more due to the fact that that sound enhancement was designed to be used with a pair of Dre Beats
As for the iPhone, I find it's audio to be a bit tinny when played through the Dre Beats. I think the sound level is slightly higher on the iPhone, but to me the HTC One wins everytime. And if it's vs boomsound, I think we know who wins :victory:
HTC one with audio technica m50 (actual good headphones not marketing) the sound is brilliant using spotify on high quality, I will test on my iPhone today before I sell it
So,
I've been putting my One to use today with it accompanying me on an internal flight in the UK.
Instead of using my SoundMagic earphones I decided to travel with the ones included and well, the audio quality is amazing, and a fair bit better than my usual headphones.
My question is, are they unbranded beats or just some decent unknown headphones by HTC?
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app
Possibility is they take advices from Beats or have them monitor the engineering of the headsets.
Hox earphones are great too but I dislike them because they are on ear despite loving the flat cables. If One's earphones is that great. I might ditch my Sony in ears

They're actually HTC earphones which have been made to resemble beats earphones. They're not that bad tbh, miles better than the normal crap HTC usually serve up.

I think there great. I gave my beats that came with it to my kids. I don't get on with beats,don't find them comfortable. Definitely prefer the HTC pair that came with them. Now all I'm waiting for is free wireless PIONEER speakers.

I agree, i had a pair of beats that came with my sensation and they were uncomfortable. The head phones that come included with the ONE are pleasant to wear and produce top notch sound quality for a stock pair of earphones. Well done HTC:good:
I compared with my Bose, urbeats, HTC's which is comes in box, galaxy S2 & S3 headphone and found that supplied standard headphone is best one and I found no different between urbeats and supplied one so I can sell my urbeats
But Urbets has a better grip in-ear
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
think they may be unmarked beats - wish they put a beats mark on them
If the stock headphones are as good as people say, that is tremendous news. HTC should promote that fact harder, and consumers won't have to spend an extra £30 to £50, on getting decent sound quality.
I have to agree. Sound better than my klipsch s4 with the bonus of added button and tangle free cord. Will compare to my sound magics in a bit
Sent from my HTC One using xda premium
Put mine in for the first time today. The headphones are fantastic! So surprised by exactly how good they are. They rival the beats easily. There's no need to purchase another pair of in ears in my opinion. They are excellent headphones and tangle free to boot!

I'm wondering if the US carrier branded versions of these phones will come with the headsets as well. I haven't received a set of headphones with my phone since the Touch Pro. I'm sure it's probably under the carrier's discretion, but it'd be nice to have them stateside.
Imo I think the earphones are the best iv had with a phone but still a pile of #### the bass is simply way to saturated and lacks any replication of real bass sounds I.e. a bass drum or kick doesn't sound anything like a real kick, my cx300 2's and even beats tours are ey way better then the stock included ear phones however massively better then any other included and as good as ear pods by apple.

Pretty sure normal ones. The red ear tips ones that comes bundled with One. HTC stopped bundling beats earphones awhile back.

I wish they had volume controls.
They do look like 'Unmarked Beats', however, i saw a little rumour the other day telling me that they were actually made in the same factory, by the same Manufacturer / Supplier as Beats. I may be wrong, but he is quite high up in the Mobile Industry. . .
Not a chance these are unbranded beats, take it from an owner of that many ear/ head phones including beats tours and urbeats the bundled earphones are so far away from even urbeats in terms of sound quality they are like black and white. The earphones are very good for bundled but so far from any idea of audio clarity seen in beats earphones, anyone owning a set of tours will tell the same after hearing the bundled set.
Sent from my HTC One using xda premium
what i dont get is why they dont have track controls like most bundled earphones?
im assuming the button will play / pause music and answer / end calls only? ive not actually used them yet
I have now tried a couple of the earphones and a couple off apps to allow for music control from the mic button presses on the earphones, but have not managed to get the HTC one skip track, let alone change volume.
Therefore I am thinking maybe the phone itself may be the issue (it always re-dials the last called when I double tap the button on the earphones)
Anyone had success with any earphones on the HTC one? (please don't comment if you have used a different HTC phone, as this problem may be HTC specific) if so, please help with specific details.
Thanks

Imo I think the earphones are the best iv had with a phone but still a pile of #### the bass is simply way to saturated and lacks any replication of real bass sounds I.e. a bass drum or kick doesn't sound anything like a real kick, my cx300 2's and even beats tours are ey way better then the stock included ear phones however massively better then any other included and as good as ear pods by apple.

I have the UR Beats as well for comparison. I agree that the standard headphones are weaker when reproducing bass, but otherwise the clarity and overall quality of sound reproduction is very good. If you travelling on public transport etc the free headset is actually a good option.
Hi there - I'm enjoying my new HTC One since a couple of days. Everything seem to be working fine and I am truly amazed being new to HTC but I'm having issues with the sound quality when I use headphones.
The moment any type of sound is played (headphones plugged in) by the phone I get some hissing sound from distortion, interference..... who knows. It stops after more or less two seconds after the last sound but is continuous when I play music. The headphones I'm using are noise-cancelling but I also tried several regular ones and the problem is still there. All headphones work fine with any other device.
Has anybody experienced similar issues? I would be grateful for any sort of help on this issue.
Cheers!
Sounds like the headphones are not plugged in all the way... Do you have a case with a cutout for the headphones? That could explain it. Try without the case.
Otherwise could be a faulty socket in the phone in which case exchange it.
Lastly, I know that bluetooth and wifi conflict when listening to music wirelessly.. Although you are plugged in to the phone, experiment with wifi and bluetooth turned off anyway if they are on by default.

Cans with incompatible mic's cause issues too. A tip ring, ring, sleeve connector that is not genuine HTC will throw a weird reverb sound up.
Try turn off beats and see if you still hear noise?

Thanks for the tip. The hissing noise is slightly lower than with Beats audio on but the problem still persists..
I've had 4 HTC Ones and they've all had this issue, exchanging it for an s4. Theres a few threads in the troubleshooting section about this, a few people claim that HTC told them over the phone that its a software issue but when I phoned them they didn't have a clue.
On my Sensation I had the same problem with in ear phones. The solution was to edit some config files in the/etc folder which would lower the gain settings, which would make the hiss virtually non existent.
You have to be rooted to do so.
The name of the file is
TPA2051_CFG.csv and another just like it.
You want to edit the mode_playback_headset line.
I don't have a One yet, and for that matter dont know if these files exist on the One.My feeling is they do, or some others just like it, but might be named a bit different since i think the TPA2051 in the file name stands for the chip, and in the above case would be for the Sensation.
But just wanted to pass this on as I certainly understand not wanting the hiss with low impedence in ear phones.

I have been noticing this issue also. It's sort of like a continuous faint popping / ticking that sometimes fades out, and comes back. However also I have noticed that the issue isn't an issue once you turn the screen off or are on the lock screen. So playing music, then locking it lets you have clean audio through the headphones. Isn't until I turn the screen on and unlock the device that the weird popping sound comes back. So using the headphones for anything with the screen on is a bit annoying... and turning beats audio off just reduces the volume of the popping sound but doesn't get rid of it.
Fortunately I don't really do much with headphones on the phone except for listening to music with the screen off, however if I could discover a fix for it to act good all the time that would just be fantastic. Particularly while web browsing.
I have had the same issue since i got the phone but i was reading that its something to do with any app that uses the proximity sensor? is there any truth in this i'd love to get rid of it...if i did the HTC is the perfect phone IMO

I have the same problem but during voice calls. DUring music its fine. I have noticed that if I am using 3G , UMTS or LTE , this problem is much more compared to GSM . On GSM I feel nothing during voice call.
Interesting that I found this thread. I've been noticing a clicking or ticking sound while using my cheap FM transmitter in the car through the headphone jack. All other headphones work fine. I tried a LG device with the same transmitter and there is a 'whirring' feedback instead. The clicking is certainly unique to the HTC one, but it DOES depend on the device the headphone jack is connected too.
I agree the HTC does not sound good using in ear headphones. I tried all different types of in ear headphones nothing works. The Nexus 4 and Galaxy S4 are the same way. Listen to music is very unpleasant

I've heard this hissing issue with every android phone (s3, s4, one, evo 3d, nexus 7) i've tried to day.
As a sidenote I've also heard this on the BB Z10, but not on my girlfriends super old ipod touch.
I think apple may be the route to take for audio quality .
I have this issue too but faux sound nearly eliminates it. Just get a compatible kernel, set preset to quality and you are good to go
I also had this issue with my One X+ so it's obviously not the audio chip but rather something HTC is doing to increase the volume output.

Sadly, that is the only way to go. My iPhone 5 had great sound quality, sound was clean and no hissing crap at all. It's really a sad that you have to get fauxsound to lower the gain to get decent quality output.

hi,i know this has been talked about but from doing a mod or something i dont think boomsound is as good as htc make out,ive just compared at full volume my htc one and my note 2 and the volumes are equal,im starting to think it might be defective,is it worth trying that rescue app on the htc one
