Hey people. Thanks for all info, been reading about the defy here for some time. Got one now and I love it. I had a few smartphones before and this is by far the one I would stick to forever if I had to.
So, my question is: Are there any good head phones (in-ear plugs, with mic and maybe even music controlers) avaliable, and that I can be certain to be compatible with the Defy? Or could I just buy any that works fine with other Android or Motorola devices? Motorola is not sold in Sweden where I live, so it's not like I can check out any stores IRL here...
With my Xperia x20 mini, exacly what I described came along with the phone. Too bad that you just got these normal plugs with the defy. Cos there is just no way I would use those. As of now I stick to my old head phones but I'd love the mic function with my In-ear plugs.
Thanks for any help!

Ok, so I found this site:
thinkmotoroladefy.com/wiredheadsets.html
and it's all looking good, except for the part that they are a bit low-priced. I'm looking for high quality ones. I.e my current head phones was about 90 USD.
For information, iphone handsfree works fine
Thanks!
By chance, does anyone know if "Klipsch Image S4i" would work? they seams to be perfect! Volume, track fwd bwd and play...
I got one of these a few months ago, works fine with my HTC Desire. Not the best headphones in the world, but more than capable of handling a bus ride. You can unplug the headphones, clip on a small plastic hook and use it as an in-ear Bluetooth headset too. Two birds with one stone
I can get around 10 hours out of them between charges.
Thanks, it seams to be mono, right? Mono doesnt sound too thrilling...
If you use power amp you can set it up to use the controls on headphones to start and stop music, instead of calling the last number you called. It will work on the lock screen too.
This was the only way of getting it to work i found for the defy and i tried about 10 different headphones with in-line controls. Bluetooth stereo sets like the one above with controls seem to work fine for music however, ive got a sony bluetooth set and the controls worked right away on the standard media player.

Hi everybody I'm new,

3. Ring - Ground
4. Sleeve - Mic

I use Razer Moray+™ they have no remote function so you have to answer the call on the phone. But you have a mic and the work good for musik and phone calls.
anyone got an update for this, still looking for ear buds with a mic.
Klipsch Pro Media set(based on the S4i but a bit better build for traveling etc).
Awesome set up with defy. The S5i rugged set is also great as they are moisture proof and very overbuilt.

Thx,
Yeah, exactly as you wrote.
I remade cheap handset with remote (from eg. www.ebay.com).
It works with any headphones
I used my original headset on a iphone before. So I assume that every headset that works on the iphone should also work on the defy.

I wonder if Sony Ericsson's headsets work. These seem pretty good:
goo.gl/TquJQ
goo.gl/eQc9W
Would be good if they work.
BTW, I tried Samsung Galaxy SL's Stereo In ear handsfree and the sound quality was just awesome! Might get myself one of those!!
I've tried the iPhone standard headphones and sound works but Mic and controls don't. There is a pair of sennheiser mm50 Nokia. Which will work fine. Ordering one shortly.
Hi
I can confirm that at least not all iphone headset work the defy, even if the pinout is identical. I tried the Sennheiser MM70i and they don't work!
I soldered the mic of the standard Headset to the MM70 and now im happy,
but definitely nothing i can recommend
greetings

I have a Beats by dre solo HD with the controlltalk remote in the cable, this also contains a mic, and for some reason it doesn't want to work.
I read that some android phones work with the remote but some don't, the HD2 works with the play/pause button, not with volume and also the mic doesn't work when calling.
I can use the mic in for example google voice search, that works like a charm, but it doesn't work in calls, is there an app that can fix something like that? or is it a simple setting? Or is it simply not possible?
I'm running android 2.3.3 (BOYPPC-SHIFTPDA)
Did you get a resolution on this? Having the same issue with my Samsung Droid Charge.
Hi Guys
I've been looking for a nice headphones with mic and control buttons for my Legend
Unfortunately companies make only ones for iPhone
Apple does not like us to use them
So they have put a chip which allows them to work only with idevices
When u connect them to legend mic do not work (but the phone recognize it as coneceted)
Only central button works (allows u to play and stop music only)
I've read that there is a patch for HTC magic
Which allows to use iPhone ones
I've been wondering is there a way to make them work on legend as well
If anyone have any info about how to do it please help

As long as you use a different music player than the stock one (I recommend PowerAmp), you can use a single mic button on a range of headsets for (at least) play/pause (1xpush), step fwd (2xpush) and step backwards (3xpush). You probably won't be able to adjust volume even if your headset remote supports it, but for me the play functionality is sufficient. As for headset, keep away from istuff, I recommend the Marshall Minor headset - great build quality, excellent sound!

I've already bought a sennheiser px200-lli brilliant headphones with a Mic and controller central button works but microphone do not and that is the worst problem
Phone recognizes the mic in the phone but it does not work
So I have to remove the jack every time I answer a call which is very annoying
Thanks anyway

I have a pair of Philips SHH7810 that I recomend,
just a single button, but volume controll and working mic.
Hey guys,
I just got my mibox, and I'm pretty happy about it.
Nearly everything works like I imagined, but there is something, which could be improved:
I'm using a harmony remote to control my devices, and I don't really want to change that.
But when I want to use voice control, usually you have to use the Bluetooth remote with integrated microphone.
Well, I thought when I plug in an external USB microphone, it should be fine, so I ordered on (http://amzn.to/2iz1ySc).
I chose this model, because I read that you can use it with Sony android TVs for the same reason.
But when in plug in the microphone and reboot my mibox, it seems that nothing happens and the box doesn't recognize the mic.
Has anybody tried something like this before or does anybody have some ideas, tips or workarounds?
I also tried to use a Bluetooth headset, which I paired with the box, only with the result, that my AVR doesn't play anymore sounds (just the Bluetooth headset...)
Im planning to buy a Apple BeatsX and I'm wondering if all the inline remote control function will work? Like skipping songs etc.
Any BeatsX and S7 edge user here? Would love to get your help.
Stores here wont allow me to test the headset and this is my only hope.
Thanks!
They work flawlessly. Same as any other Bluetooth headphone. Sound great and have a lot of passive noise isolation.
everything works with the inline remote control? even skipping to the next or previous song?
