Sorry if this has been asked before - I searched and could not find an answer.
I am thinking of buying the ZaggBuds which plug into the 3.5mm jack and have an integrated microphone to make and answer calls.
I am hoping that the Sprint Hero allows me to answer calls using the 3.5mm jack?
Thanks!
yes. In fact it even works for just speakers plugged into the jack. Just have to use the phones microphone in that case.

If I recall correctly, and IPhones headset lets us control volume and music threw it - I assume calls would be answered in the same manner.
I have a pair of $50 Scosche Headphones that have a built in mic and volume control but i can't get them to work properly with my phone. When i plug them in, its shows the headset with the mic, but when i use them within a call no one can hear me. I can hear them but thats it.
There isn't a setting within the phone is there? is it just that my heaphones aren't compatible?
I plug the 3.5mm into my car speakers and phone calls play over the system...just have to speak into the phone microphone. I would assume it would work the same with headphones.
It has to be a regular headset with a single plug for it to work. The iPhone earbuds work great for example, the mic on those is way better than the internal mic on the Hero.
As far as using a button on the headset to answer calls, I'd also like to know how to program that button. I'd like to be able to press it and have it pull up voice search.

The way it's programmed on the iPod Shuffle is to pause (in our case, also answer calls) and long-press for voice options. The middle button of course. I don't think the volume buttons on the iPhone headset work on the Hero.
To be honest it all depends on the headphones like I have the Epic 4g headphones and it doesnt work well. You might have to buy HTC headphones for compatibility.

I have the Epic 4g head phones and they work perfectly for me. I am able to answer calls as well as navigate my music with them. <3 those headphones.
If your headphones arent working Google this:

I got a noisehush headset and works great for voice and stereo. My old HTC headset I got with the tmo wing is on its dying day.

I have a pair of headphones with a button and mic in the head set. I press the button to start/stop music as well as answer/hangup calls
I have the Zagg buds and they work great with the hero. I can press the answer button the button on the volume adjuster that are on the buds and it works like a champ.
Great headphones!

I bought a pair of Sony head phones for the Iphone to use on my HTC Hero thinking that they would work because it had volume control and built in microphone but all their good for is listening to music...
I use Thermaltake eSports Isurus headphones. They're in-ear buds with a mic on the line. The use a single 3.5mm TRRS plug to connect to phones, and have a TRRS to TRS headphones + microphone splitter for plugging into a computer. They work great with my HTC Hero.
They have an on-mic button, but I haven't played with that to see if it'll auto-answer if I push it. I'm more the 'plug the headset in after i get a call' kinda guy.
yes
I have a problem with BT Headset + Bose MIE2i Mobile Headset Combination..
It Would NOT work together.. Each thing alone works perfectly, but not together.
i have just bought Samsung HM3700 which supports 3.5mm headset, so I connected it to Bose MIE2I headset I was using before.
the problem is that when i turn music or video on, all i hear is little bit of music and alot of noises.
But when i keep pressing 'talk button' on bose while playing music, the sound is so clean and crisp.
Does anyone have had same kindof trouble and If anyone knows how to fix this problem, please let me know!
Thank you!
I was wondering if anyone is using USB headphones to listen to music.
I was able to use these two apps and figure out that my headset (Logitech G930) is directly supported right through OTG no need for DAC:
First: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.extreamsd.usbaudiorecorderpro&hl=en
Second: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.extreamsd.usbaudioplayerpro&hl=en
Only issue is with the player its native to the app so i can't use Grooveshark through the USB.
Was wondering if anyone knew of a way to get it working or does have it working without a DAC.
EDIT: Buttons now working as well on the headset (play/pause forward/back and volume rocker) but no audio still
I upgraded to the Moto-X for the touchless controls as I commute to work and back on my motorbike and I was really unsatisfied with alternatives floating around to simulate touchless control.
Now when I am in my car and using my bluetooth headset the voice control works just fine, I can navigate, call and send quick messages no problem
But on my bike I use a Viper RSv-131 helmet which has bluetooth built in and I listen to local radio or music whilst I'm riding but my Moto-X does not respond when I cay Ok Google now or when I press the button on my helmet either I can answer incoming calls fine but thats it.
Does anyone else use a Moto-X on a motorcycle/motorbike or even a regular bicycle with bluetooth and do you have similar problems?
Have you tried Google>Settings>Voice>Bluetooth headset

Thanks Etcetra, I have bluetooth headset option turned on and it works using my BT headset in the car.
My gut reaction is my car headset is a regular over the ear BT headset but my helmet is like BT stereo headphones with a microphone and so I think it's a different kind of BT but I'm not an expert.
Any advice would be welcome
Check to see which profiles are connected on each device by going into Bluetooth settings and tapping the little settings icon next to the connection.
My helmet comes up as BLINK II and is ticked for phone and media audio

That's unfortunate as it suggests an incompatibility issue between the two. It should certainly work using the phone profile.
Check with the helmet maker... maybe they have a firmware update available.
Turned off media audio and just tried phone audio but still the same: (
So I haven't use the earphone for 2 months cauz I used a Bluetooth earphone. However its broken now which switch me back to use a wired earphone which I was using before I bought Bluetooth one. But it doesn't work anymore(I tested on other devices earphone worked fine), and what surprised me that is the earphone only worked one side(right) after I install an app to force my phone to switch sound to earphone mode but the other side just won't work.
Below are things I tried,
1)cleaning the headphone jack
2)resetting the whole phone
3) using other headphone
4) disabling mono audio in setting
Well they don't work, is there anything else I can do?
