i love my Desire Z but the headset provided is not good while traveling and i travel a lot. can anyone recommend me a good In-ear headset with music controls and mic which will work with Desire Z. i have bought PowerAMP, so music control should be working for it atleast. volume control and mic is not a must
i have been searching for so long with no result. someone please help
I'm using sonyericson mw600.
There is a thread here somewhere down in the past, just use search
It's Bluetooth, it controls poweramp, its good, and cheap (see eBay)

You can try Etymtoic for phone compatible headset. I think etymotic have it for their Hf 5 and the earphone themselves are very good, also have one of the highest level of isolation for IEMs.

When listening to music through my HBH-DS970 or IS800 bluetooth headset,
sound quality is so bad. There is no problem with Iphone 3GS and Xperia X1.
Does anybody have same problem like mine? Base sounds crackling.
I use the nokia BH-604 and the sound is great.
no problems so far
I've got a Sony xplod in me car... sound quality isnt very good through the Galaxy S. I prefer my touch hd... Only because the sample rate and and bitpool have been increased.
Think it needs doing on this phone, does anybody know if its possible?
Anyone know how to bump up the bit rate and samples pool on android? Never heard complaints like this about other droids...will certainly look into it.

I have a DS980 and MW600 works great on both..
I am using an Evo 4g, bitpool is fixed at 32 using various bluetooth devices including the mw600. I have searched for a couple of weeks and have yet to find a way to bump this up. The sound is ok but not as good as my windows mobile devices with the registry edits.
I'm hearing a relatively strong hiss on
earbuds when nothing is played,
I think audio quality is good but there's no absolute silence, when it should be,
I'm using some good AKG earbuds so maybe they're too much sensitive
Not expecting an audiophille device but still..
What about your sgs?

Hehe ya that's exactly what I thought... The galaxy s is a good device for music... Also heard the hissing sound but I think that depends on the audio quality of the music track u are listening to... The device s audio quality seems much superior to the ipod touch that I own.. Try listening to a music track converted from a cd or probably a wav file.. There shoukd not be any hissing sound in that.

It should be silent on the GS, it is on mine. What firmware are you on? The earlier ones had a problem with sound output via headphones, but thats been fixed for some time now in later firmwares...
I also find when listening to music not generally aware of this, but when I plug it into a mini jack socket in my car I get a high pitched noise for some reason I cant understand, anyone else get similar?
FWIK, you can't use regular earbuds or mini jack to connect to SGS. The headphone port is wired differently so that a normal earbuds or mini jack connector may not properly connect the ground wire, it connects to the mic-in instead.
There is a dedicated thread talked about this issue specifically.

So I have to use the retail earbuds?
Strange they put standard headphone port..
I`m using the Ritchofen JM9, with flac files, unfortunately, I hear the hiss even when music player is off..

Standard headphone port contains L and R signal only. Almost all cell phones contain mic-in in the port as well. So, no, it is not a simply standard headphone. From what I understand, only the US version, AT&T Captivate can use normal headphones.
go to settings, make sure the TV out option is not turned ON

Earbuds work fine with my sgs.
Do your earbuds have an inline mic because I had the same problem with mine. I found if I pressed the button the noise stopped, and when listening to music the it was louder and good quality.
The problem is that the connections on the earbuds are set up for an iphone headset.
You can get adapters to change between iphone headset and other cellphone head set.

Just wanted to share my feelings about using Desire Z as audio player.
Before I got Desire Z, I had to buy Cowon iAudio 9 to get decent bass (thanks to very good custom multi-band equalizer on iAudio 9).
I used to use Shure SH530, wasn't happy with bass response.
I'm now happily using Hippo VB (Variable Base) earbuds ($79). Review of these is HERE (in short: "their bass is more or less as refined as the one coming from the $1150 UE11 – but the VB put less weight on midbass and provide more real sub-bass, so they win. Their midrange appears linear, without peaks and valleys, and it’s “lush” and “sweet” like the Shure SE530.")
So then I got HTC Desire Z, plugged my phones and used stock Music player and surprise, surprise - low deep base is there without even using any equalizer!
I then tried PowerAMP, have ONLY increased 30Hz band for even deeper sub-base (as these phones have response starting from 20Hz) and reslut is that I now tend to use Desire Z instead of Cowon iAudio9 player.
This means Desire Z is providing enough power to be able to drive my phones.
On a side note, my previous phones were not able to deliver such deep base without distortion or serious using of equalizer/amplification.
So one happy user here LOL
Update: stock Radio seem to produce nice bass too!
Seconded . I use the Desire Z with my Denon ACH-751s and the quality is very good.
This judgement is also backed by GSMArena who do indepth testing of Audio quality.
http://www.gsmarena.com/htc_desire_z-review-535p5.php
haven't tried the audio output yet, but i started to wonder if the DZ has better or the same soundquality as the Htc Legend..? I was very surprised when i had my Legend recently.
Really stoaked with the desire z's audio reproduction, just for a quick test mainly to see if my bluetooth headphones were working with my desire z, so I tested them out and the sound quality on the stock music player with no equalizer blew me away. Especially as I was just using a cheap pair of bluetooth headphones, will try with my bose qc2s and my astro a40s for a comparason.

Well this is my 1st post to this forum.. Got my Desire Z yesterday - been playing with it since that.
Overall it's very impressive phone after using Nokia for years...
But one really disturbing "feature" is the clicks & pops when using headphones. If I listen music and someone chats with me (e.g. Google Talk), the music is interrupted with loud bang/pop whatever you want to call it..
Is there a way to get rid of the loud pops and bangs when connecting headphone, setting volume (when no content is playing) etc...?
I'm not familiar with HTC audio HW internals, but maybe it could be fixed with an sw upgrade.. Who knows..
Seems that the headphone output is not "ground referred" as in Nokia&iPhone for example.
I'm using usually Bose QC3's as headphones, they are "active" so it might also worsen the pops...
Despite this one audio related "feature", I'm still impressed of the phone overall.
Hi all play owners,
I am a prospective PLAY owner, evaluating certain features. One of the feature that I use quite often is to listen music.
Please provide your feedback on the audio quality for the purpose of listening music using headphones on xperia play.
Thanks,
Linkrinf
The better the headphones the better the quality, im using quite an expensive pair of sony hedphones and sound quality is excellent.

actually, i was referring to gsmarena review which scared me off when they mentioned this
Quote:
The only problem we had with it is the stereo crosstalk, which spikes intensly when you plug in a pair of headphones. The distortion levels increase too in that scenario, but they still remain tolerable.
btw, which sony headset do you have?

i havent noticed any distortion, bear in mind though i usually use my headphones with a BT receiver not plugged directly into the device, i have these headphones btw
http://www.sony.co.uk/product/hps-extra-bass-and-dj/mdr-xb40ex
I am using a pair of Sennheiser CX400II's and the quality is amazing, I haven't noticed any distortion or volume issues.
I was also using the Sony WM600 bluetooth headphones, again the sound is great on those with the stock headphones that come with it.
I have to buy a headset for my Nexus 4, but i don't know which model
is better spending 40 euro shipping costs included (or shortly more).
Obviously it must have the microphone integrated with relative controls keys.
Thank you very much in advance and sorry for my imperfect english

Mine N4 doesn't recognize control keys...someone can confirm it?
You can save some money buying just a mic+one botton headset
Yes, i meant a mic-one button headset.
Some advices? Thanks
I use Skullcandy smokin' buds. They have a one button play/pause/next/prev track, along with mic. Works fine with my nexus 4.
Samsung Stereo Headset
Samsung EHS44ASSBECINU Stereo Headset works pretty well with nexus 4 , I have it using since few weeks . Yes , it has the mic which works fine . Hope this helps .
how about using one button headset with analog volume control (slider) instead of three buttons headset with control keys?
is it still possible to control the volume directly from headset?
Sennheiser and Creative
Two headphones that I have tested to be working perfect on Nexus 4 are -
1) Sennheiser cx 275s(has an inbuilt mic and a call recieve/end button) but is a bit costly.
2) Creative EP630 ( no inbuilt mic/Volume control).
Maybe Philips citiscape uptown? they are a bargain for the quality

There are lots of good brands and you can go up to $300 or more depend on the models. Most of the expensive ones tends to be in ear monitors however, which isn't ideal, but Sennheiser and Etymotic are worth looking at.
For open earbuds, I use the palm pre headset which is cheap, but the sound quality is pretty decent for the price and its durable too: http://www.amazon.com/Palm-Stereo-Headset-Pixi-Pre/dp/B002CMEIW0/ It have a mic button.
I'd recommend something from sennheiser - they do good work. Don't have a specific model since I've been lazy and just using an Apple EarPod.
I personally love the Sol Republic Amps HD, but that's about 100USD, the Regular Amps is about $50USD, which is good, just not as bass-y. They are super light and super comfy in my ears. I recommend them for day to day listening.
I have since upgraded to the Munitio NINES 9mm ones, and are LOUD lol. Good headsets as well. GL!
I can also recommend you to get any audio technica or sennheiser...I really enjoy their headphones
Sennheiser cx 300-II with nexus 4, anyone?
Can anyone verify and tell me if Sennheiser cx 300 - ii prescision works perfectly with nexus 4?
I can recommend my Soundmagic E10M. It has the 3 volume buttons but the volume do not work, where as the middle button does work fine. The mic also works well and no one has ever mentioned about struggling to hear me.
I also have sennheiser headphones (no mic) and I have to say they are a top brand. Equally these soundmagic are great quality too so if you're going to get a pair, pay more for quality.

I am gonna go for sennheiser cx 300 ii prescision without any hicups!
Honestly im dissappointed with the cx300ii or any low end sennheiser...the expensive ones are great but sennheiser is not that great for budget-fi audio quality. You want better everything i suggest looking at the jvc fx3x or fx101. Soundmagic e10 is also good along with audio technica ckm50

Cx300ii lack bass imo. My friend at school has a pair and he let me listen to them. Very dark, bass is there and accurate but no quantity whatsoever. Then i let him listen to the jvcs i had and now he bought them from me just because they are that much better. I own a pair of sony xb90ex which creates bass so real and wide it literally feels like you are in a movie theater.

I bought philips SHS8105A. It has got mic and controls. For the price the quality is great. There is a philips app that you can use to change the settings of control button and has an equalizer. This model is hook type but there are earphones too. I use custom kernel and boost the volume.
Recently got the Quad beats by LG and I love them compared to my tours. They sound significantly better and don't have the sound leak like my tours or apple buds. The mic is good for calls too and there's a play button that doubles for hanging up calls.
For $21 I would recommend these, especially since they block external noise for the most part and fit great in my ears.

Middle button actions for Soundmagic E10M?
Can you provide the actions that the middle button can perform? Can it activate Google Now (maybe by holding it down)? I'm thinking about getting these. Thanks!
