Hi,
Well I just got a pair of Beats by Dre, and wow do I love it.. The sound is great. Its comfortable. Its sexy. But its not perfect.
The headphone does not allow me to change my volume (which it has buttons for it), and it does not allow me to use the mic while I'm in a call. These two things have been annoying me enough that I will pay some good money, just to get a fix for it.
So if anyone can fix this problem for me... Ill get you some cash with PayPal.
I considered an iPhone 4 for a second to replace my G2, just to get these features. My friends iPhone 4 works perfectly with the headphones, and call quality is excellent. I just don't get it.
Anyways, Anyone up to fix this problem?
Have you tried using your friends headphones in the G2 yet? Not likely but could be a fault with the headphones. Also, are the volume controls scroll based or button?
When you plug in your Beats is it just the regular headphone icon or the one with microphone attached because this happened to me but mine were the in ear ones it showed the headphone icon instead of the microphone icon.
Does anyone know if you can use headphones made for the iPhone with a Focus? The headphones that come with it are actually decent, but I'd like to upgrade and every set of headphones with an inline mic are made for iPhones. All I really need working is the microphone and volume control; the extra pause button isn't a big deal.
I just tried a Apple volume-enabled set of headphones and the play/pause/call button worked but not the volume control.
The mic and headphones work great though.
The headphones that come with the Focus have volume control on them, so maybe other non-Apple branded headphones would work with volume control.
Thanks for checking that. I guess it's not so bad to have the volume not working since the buttons on the device work with the screen off.
I picked up some cheap iFrogz Luxe and the work fine.
No volume control but the mic and pause worked OK.

I also picked up a set of Etymotic MC3's and they didn't work worth a damn.

Anyone knows what headphones + mic + control will work with the Focus?
I love the original ones!! but I haven't found any option with the same buttons
Thanks
I have broken my original ones and found out the Beats and skull candy which have a microphone are not compatible... sound goes through but microphone does not pick up sound.
I did find a few sites claiming compatibility with V-moda's vibe duo headsets and have ordered them online and will arrive today. I will post an update if the mic works with Focus.
EDIT; if you like my comments please give me a thanks

Thanks, please let me know if they work. Those v-moda's has the 3 buttons? in the remote control?
The original ones are perfect! I really like them even versus one expensive phillips ones with noise cancelling electronics
The v-moda's arrived and work perfectly. they don't have the three buttons but you can answer calls and what not... the sound quality is honestly phenomenal, they sound better than the beats headphones that I returned because of MIC incompatibility.
they are just as pricey as the Beats running you about 100 bucks but it is way worth it

But those earphones don't have volume control keys right?
Headphones
I've tried the klipsch s4i which has three buttons for the iphone. the pause/unpause button works and also can skip ahead or backwards by pressing twice/three times. the mic or the two volume buttons didn't work for me though.

another headphone
so i tried another set of headphones. this time the headphones with an in-line remote that came with the third gen ipod. Same things work such as the klipsch, pause, play, skip, and backwards work. you can also use this and klipsch to answer calls but the mic doesn't work so its kind of pointless. the volume buttons don't work either.
i really would love to find better headphones than the stock ones, i like good quality headphones
Have you guys tried the OEM headphones from the Captivate?

Hey all
Just bought a new pair of headphones. Unlucky for me, the Urbanears Reimers headphones I bought were only for Apple. Mic, play/pause button works but Volume up/down does not. If there any way to fix this with software? Some modified kernel?
I also read that MM fixed this problem. Can anyone confirm?
