htc ear buds are rubbish !!!

can anybody recommend a decent set of earbuds with music control on them for my hd2 as the ones htc supply are utter tosh. either my earholes are way too small or the supplied ones are made for giants ears. cheers............

I use Motorola S9-HD Bluetooth headphones, amazing unbelievable sound with no wires also has SRS WOW HD Surround sound built in, the must have for all music fans

Most headphones that come with the devices are usually crap. Just like with the iPod and the HTC Touch Diamond.

I too have these - and the sound is excellent - probably the best available for bluetooth (i have tried alot)
Only problem is they are not resistant to sweat liek they say (im on 3rd pair replaced by warranty - i run or gym every week day)
so in conclusion - best sound, but bad for training

thanks for the tips guys, ill check them out in a bit..........

I personally really like HTC earphones, and always have (well, for the last 3 devices I've had).
Saying that though, I'm a wireless fan, and these, for me, are unbeatable...

Hi,
I recently modified the headset as written in
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=613732
Works verry nice...

I agree the supplied ones sound pretty good for an issue pair, but for what freaky ears are they made for???
I too use motorola s9's and rate them highly.

if you run 10k and you will sweat alot too
i would also add that i have a pair of ALTEC 903 bluetooth headphones and they are also very good, a little cheaper than my S9-HD and they sound nearly as good.
They are a more comfortable fit because they are not so solid (linked instead by a wire accross the back of the neck)
the 903 are a bit cheaper

So, just because your ears are too small, you call HTC's headphones rubbish?
What's wrong with people today? Where has all the common sense gone?

naah seriously...those stock earphones are shyt :|
hurts my ears within 15-20mins of wearing them.
And to make matters worst....try putting on a motorbike helmet with those earphones on :|

Are there also wired remote controls with a mic. and a 3.5mm output for some earbuds?
Cause i agree: the ones from HTC are rubish, but I do have a set sennheisers (with a short cord), but no remote control or mic..

Does the remote work as well?? If they do I will buy it first thing tomorrow

I think the stock HTC ones are quite nice, definitely the best stock earphones I've owned. My only complaint is that they are too small for jogging and they keep falling out. I was looking to buy a new set but then saw the solder mod you can do with the stock earphones and I think I'll be doing that soon as I have quite a few good pairs of extra earphones lying around.

Low Media Sound on headsets

My x10i has low sound on headsets when playing music and some of the videos. How do I fix it?

Use the obvious volume button on the right side of the phone while playing music...

Thats not the problem!
When it is turned all the way up, it is just not very loud!!
As for example when using it in noisy condition, it is hard to hear the music, etc!

Unless I am sure that the problem is with the earphones I am not going to waste my money. Already spent too much on x10.

What type of earphones do you use? I play most of my music at volume level 3, which is loud enough. I wouldn't want to play at max volume, that would damage my ears for sure. I'm using Creative in-ear heaphones btw, I believe they are EP-630.

Those are pretty bad in my opinion. If you try in-ear headphones, that go deeper into your ear, you'll need less volume and they will cancel noise.

I have experienced in-ear headphones and they irritate me. But that is totally different issue. What now has become a fact is that when it comes to music quality x10 does not even match my old Sony MP3 player (I bought in 2006) and iphone is way ahead in music.
On the positive side I have yet to see a cell phone with better video quality then x10. I have been watching full length movies on it during my travels and enjoying it. Though I wish I could enjoy some quality music on it as well

But they seem to be working fine with everything else. Any good suggestions (for new earphones)?

Them sony earphones are junk. You never get quality earphones with any phone. Personally i would not use any earphones that are worth under £30/35 euro's.
I'd recommend something from Sennheiser or Grado.

seeing as you dont use in-ears this would be your best shot: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Sony-MDRE82...e=UTF8&s=officeproduct&qid=1274031484&sr=8-11or this http://www.amazon.co.uk/Sennheiser-...KL5A1OLE&s=electronics&qid=1274032116&sr=1-41
even then I cant guarantee they would be louder. In ears and over head earphones are the best.

I would have but I can't. For two reasons:
i. We most likely are oceans apart. I am in Pakistan. Don't knw where you are.
ii. I bought A4Tech MK-690-B sound isolating earphones and that has made significant change in the loudness. Its loud and I am enjoying it. Although I still think iPhone's iPod beats x10 in bass and pitch the sound on new headphones is nonetheless not bad. I can live with it happily. I guess I was quick to judge x10i.
I am in love again!

Headphone VOLUME SUCKS!!!

ok.. please someone tell me there is a hack or something..
I bought this phone to replace all my gadgets I use for my bike. MP3 player, Cycle computer,heart monitor.
I had knee surgery and just now being able to do some small bike riding again..
I loaded up my songs and played them through my S9 headset (blue tooth)
WTF, at max volume its not going to work with a 20mph head wind.. Let alone, just relaxing outside with no wind, max volume seems to be decent, but far from loud.
Then I tried my dads Jabra bluetooth headphones. .Same thing.
Then I tried Skull candy plug in headphones, no change.
I finally plugged it into my friends Iphone, and holy #@#$ at 3/4 volume it plenty loud let alone full blast.
I read on another forum that there might be a hackfor this.. I know there are a couple audio hacks but I think it might only be for the external speaker, and I don't really want to do that..
So tell, please there is a way, other wise well.... it would suck marjory

Could be your files are too soft.
All I can tell you is that plugged in using my Skullcandy FMJ's or Koss insulating buds, I can't go above 3/4 volume without getting ringing in my ears. Full volume on my RF-MAB2's is fairly loud, though admittedly they don't insulate against ambient sound well (nor do they focus audio down the ear canal properly...).
I'm guessing you're using a Stock ROM, right? Try out CyanogenMod 6.1.2. It's got a better Bluetooth stack (for your BT headphones), better music player, and even a DSP manager.

Im using Fresh 3.5 rom.
Not stock..
its pretty obvious when I compare it to an Iphone that the EVO is extremely weak in this department.. I love this phone, I would even call it an Iphone killer. but I would get rid of it, if it can't do something simple like play music through headphones.. (at level beyond decent)

Mixzing paid app has a 10 band EQ that you can crank up.

Fresh is a stock-based ROM. Therefore it has all of the Stock ROM's disadvantages; crappy software, bad bluetooth stack, poor audio drivers, etc.

The iPhone also has iTunes automatically adjust the volume of files to be normalized, and rather than edit the files directly, transfers that adjustment as part of the meta-data which the iPhone in turn reads and uses. The EVO does not have this advantage. Again, try CM 6.1.2 and play with the DSP Manager. You'll be surprised.

CyanogenMod does have WiMax (kinda, it's in an alpha build, which also boosts the speed on your 3G). And as for Sense, hell no. Sense is a bloated POS smacked on Android.
As for the music file audio, look up dBpoweramp. It has the ability to do so in batch. But like the other posters in this thread, I think that either you're going deaf, you're not connected all the way, or there's some sort of hardware/wetware issue going on.

seems like you might have an issue with your phone or you have an issue with your rom, i'd try flashing a different rom before anything else.
I have the s9-hd's and don't turn them all the way up and they sound great . I also have various headphones and never turn them all the way up either.

You guys obviously don't ride..its a very common issue..I'm not going deaf..its called 20 mph head wind or more average..search on this forum for volume as the topic, you will see pages of the same issue..a real shame is all I gotta say.. That's 2for the iphone
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

Hey I cycle too and never really found a cure to the head wind trying all kinds of styles of headphones (even the big over the ear dj headphones), don't blame the phone, cause its obviously a headphones issue. And I too agree you may be going deaf cause I never have to turn my headphones all the way up, I find myself constantly turning them down. Power Amp has a pre amp feature that can really crank up the volume if its ever needed. Also try looking for some insulated ear buds like these: http://www.amazon.com/Sony-MDREX36V...1_fkmr0_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1295127403&sr=8-1-fkmr0
Due to the weather I haven't tried them outside yet but im sure these will be better than the S9's, which I also own and are not to fond of them, ( crappy sound and fit) esp when on the bike.

Wow he wasn't bashing the Evo. I did a comparison too and the Iphone does have louder sounds. It was already stated that's because Itunes does some magical **** to your music for you. Other than migrating to CM (Believe it or not but some people dont mind Sense @ all especially when using mikofroyo) you can use poweramp which does have an equalizer and it will boost the sound. Just make sure you got good headphones to handle the boost because it blew my walmart pair.Or you can find a prog that will do some magical **** to your music files like Itunes.

Yep power amp has a pre amp and eq...i use fresh rom, and power amp is loud

FAR from deaf.. Actually had a huge ear test during my interview with being a 911, dispatcher.. And you need to have perfect hearing.. WHICH IS DO..
I figured it out..
And the fact still remains, for the person saying "Im bashing your precious EVO, WHICH I LOVE AND OWN TOO"
THE IPHONE IS MUCH MUCH LOUDER, HANDS DOWN FACT!! Don't like it? Maybe you should return your phone then..
I took all my music files and used a program called mp3gain (Free) and brought all files to 100DB's
Which doens't distort the sound. I also wanted to tell you phatmanxxl, those headphones you linked are wired.. My EVo is mounted on my bike, so I need bluetooth headphones..
in anycase I use A pair of Jabra BT620 head phones.. They are a bigger style but finally PLENTY LOUD.. Actually only keep it at about 70% volume or so..

Lol you can't say the iphone is louder. You would have to test that with the SAME music files, and have the volume normalization off as you import the files into itunes. Also for a rom that has the audio built in thats sense, look here:

Headphone question - for those already with an SGSII

Can someone who already has an SGS II, test and comment on whether headphones with a mic *and* music controls (eg play/pause/ff/rw) work?

I'm not asking about the standard headphones that ship with the SGS II. I'm asking someone with an SGS II to test aftermarket headphones that have the controls.

I think it same as original galaxy s, the media button for aftermarket earphone will not work with this phone, samsung 3.5mm jack really special...

Question...
Hey, for those already with SG2, can I use my iPod headphones w/ mic with this handset?

If possible also specify the exact make and model. There's at least two different pin-out for headsets (iPhone style and Nokia style) and at most one of those will work properly with any given Android phone.

I am wondering this as well. I'm hoping its the Iphone style so I can use my Etymotic HF-2's, or any other decent head set with this phone. I am thinking there is a good chance it is the Iphone style, seeing as that what the Nexus S had, but it would be nice for someone to confirm and not just speculate.

Thats shyttt... No audio controls with the Headphone? I gotta pull the phone out every time to switch the track?

WTF? this costs as much as an iphone and the headphones doesnt have music controls? that sucks bigtime!

oh stop whining! Samsung is just giving you an extra reason to admire that beautiful screen.

Don't matter to me as I don't use cheap phones. Custom shelled iem. Please don't tell me you folks use Dre BEATS, what a ripoff. I see alot of iPhone users using them and I just laugh. Got ripped off by apple and then by Dre. People are like sheep being led to the slaughter house.
Music controls, just what I don't need, another component in the way of my Galaxy pushing that Vodoo.

when you say "samsung uses..." is that in reference to this device in particular, or Samsung in general? Have you tested the SGSII headphone jack yourself? Thanks for the info btw.

Oh you guys are silly!
I haven't tried headphones with music controls yet (gonna have to fish around for my old HTC's) but try double clicked and triple clicking the button on the one's Sammy give you. For me it skips tracks (at least in Spotify) and has done on all versions of Gingerbread I've tried.
I'm using the Griffin iTalk so I can answer calls and skip tracks with a decent set of 'phones.

htc desire's headphone works perfectly.

i use the bose MIE2 mobile phone headset with inline mic and single button, costs 140 bucks and the quality is superb on these things. its designed for generic mobile phones, and works just fine on the nexus one and most other phones that support the standard.
are we saying teh galaxys s2 will not support this? it just uses a single button, double tap to FF, triple tap to RW, etc. and then single tap to answer a call, pause music, etc. best headset ever to get for your phone. i'd imagine this would have to work with samsung, how could they leave this out when all other phones support this?

Tested with Ultimate Ears 5vi which are iPhone compatible.
With default music player only play/pause (single press) and next track (double press) works, this was tge same as the Nexus S.
PowerAmp has a setting to enable triple press which skips to previous track. This app is worth the cost as it has settings to customise the player anyway you could want. Best feature is auto resume on A2DP connect, when getting in the car no need to remove phone from pocket or bag or touch cars music controls, plays from where it left off

I expect they will work. But the price seems extreme.

Any suggestions on lower priced ones.... I'm worried since it has a mic input and acer hates Bluetooth devices with mics

It works with Creative D100 wireless speakers, and the sound is OK:

Best regrads, maris

Look at the Jabra Jambox series, they have gotten great reviews for their sound and design.

I have the Monster Clarity HD bluetooth speaker and it works like a champ, and the sound quality is good. Its also a lot cheaper.

I haven't had any issues with the built-in mic messing things up, and all the other controls(play, pause, FF, Rew, etc.) seem to work well.

Considering how small it is, it does a really good job. It has a built-in passive subwoofer that fires from the top. Its not gonna blow you away with earth shaking lows, but the bass notes are there and very clear. I am running Flexreaper ROM on my A500 at the moment and using the equalizer app thats included I get the lows dialed in pretty damn well. Keep in mind that I mainly listen to pretty lo-fi punk rock so the bass is fairly minimal anyway. But when I do listen to something with heavy bass, it sounds good.

thanks ill look into getting one then just bought a case with keyboard built in ;-)

Thanks
