i thought beats only worked on apple products? and that the play only uses sony products?
I think only sony ericsson headphones work properly. Dont hold me on this, but i think i saw someone say they use a different voltage or something similar

look around someone posted a link to a jack extender which works for the play to allow beats. they work fine for me

I've used a Sennheiser HD25, Sony XB500 and Audio Technica SJ11 with the Play without any trouble or adapters. I wonder what's different about Beats headphones...?
The supplied SE headphones sound strange out my laptop though.
The R800x comes with an adapter cable for non-Sony headphones... I've never had to use it, but it might be what you need.
From my experience with the phone it only accepts headphones that have the curve or L shape headphone jack( or whatever its called).
Any headphones that are straight through like most headphones will not work and get the unsupported accessories. You need an adapter for it to get it to work and then its not a guarantee from what I have read online.

I find the adapter than came with my R800x actually made headphones less compatible. I can use my strait-point (no curve on jack) headphones just fine by themselves, but if I use the sony adapter it gets really unstable.
I`m using Creative inner earphones on my play no problem.
I learnt to avoid any earphones that mention Ipod on them, unless they state clearly for MP3 players too otherwise they don`t work.
been using different brands of ear/headphone different shapes and curves or whatever it is, including beats studio, w/o any issues as long as its 3.5mm jack..

Is there any software or anything to increase audio gain in these devices? I'm using the stock ROM and when I plug a cable from my car into my headphone jack on it the sound doesn't get hardly loud at all. The volume is all the way up on the Transformer and yet my iPod is a lot louder than it is. Would using bluetooth be any better? My car doesn't have bluetooth but they sell a module just didn't know if it would. :/

Thanks! I'll give it a try tomorrow. Also I don't really know much about audio but would bluetooth be any better (quality wise) than using the headphone jack, or would there be no significant difference in that respect?
I have apps called "Equalizer" and "DSPManager" and they each seem to do the trick. Is there any advantage to one or the other (including Volume+ as well) though?

My problem is that when i try to connect my phone to my stereo the screen starts messing up. Everything looks fine but the screen doesnt register any of my finger strokes. Ive tried two different rca to headphone jack cables could it be my phone or my stereo perhaps. I just got my phone everything is stock.

1.- Test if a headphone produce same problem
2.- Test same cable with other stereo
Sounds like its shorting. Be careful ya could fry your phone.

OK so I work as a dish network technician. Sometimes I hook up my headphones to my glacier to listen to some music and run it through my shirt so as for them to not get pulled while working on the ladder and all that. What do you guys think would be the best an easiest way toblisten to my music? How I'm doing it or are there any wireless solutions.. any help is a appreciated.

Assuming you mean access to the music media and not e.g. wireless headphones, if in the USA, try Google Music and mark songs for offline while you're on WiFi, so it won't use up data. Otherwise, I woukd suggest a large memory card.

There is this one Bluetooth+ wireless headphones, at radioshack. I wanna say by Samsung, really nice set. The headphones plug into the Bluetooth, then the headset clips on to your shirt. The earbuds are really strong too,I used them at my work for a while, very nice sound. The price I wanna say is around 60-80, can't remember.

I have to vote for Bluetooth headphones as well. I've tried two pairs: Motorola S9s, and Rocketfish RF-MAB2. The S9s were not worth what I paid for them. The sound quality was ok at best, the earbuds uncomfortable, and the battery life was not great. Their top selling point (for me, anyways) was that they were sweatproof. As I run and work out a lot, I was really looking forward to no more tangles. Turns out, they are not sweatproof. After about 3 weeks of workouts, they crapped out. The controls became unresponsive; I couldn't even get the power button working to turn them off. And I lost my receipt, so there went any replacement.
Did some research and took a shot at the Rocketfish RF-MAB2s. They are absolutely fantastic and better than the S9s in every aspect. Much more comfortable, the sound quality is fantastic, and the battery life is pretty much as advertised. The only drawback is that they are not specifically advertised as being sweatproof. However, I've been using them for over 3 months with no problems whatsoever. As a precaution, I wipe them whenever I feel they might start getting wet, and I bought a few of these covers to make sure sweat doesn't get into the charging port.
Bluetooth works great for me. Search Ebay and you can find a bunch. make sure it's the ones that can transfer media (music), not the ones that are used for calls.
Awesome thanks guys will try some out and let you guys know which ones worked great...I doubt here is but there wouldn't be like just a one eared headphone so I an just listen to music in one ear would there??

Personally, I use the Jabra BT-3030 dogtag adapter. It let's you use the headphones of your choice. I do the same thing with tucking the wires under my shirt. The device is great, streams music and takes calls. There is a Mic built into the top of the device. it has all the music controls and they work as expected, has its own independent volume control too. You can even use it as a remote control if you plug another cord into the phone's jack. Pretty cool if you hook up to a stereo and feel like being lazy.
I prefer in ear buds, so this was the best solution for me. You can find it for $20-30 online.

I used to have an eBay Bluetooth headset that played music through the speaker when connected to my computer, but not on my phone. I think in order for your phone to play music through it, it has to recognize it as a media receiver and most single earpiece sets will only receive call audio.
Hi,
My samsung provided headphone controls are not working. But I can use it as a headphone, thats about it. Is there a way I can debug if its s/w or h/w problem.
I tried an N8 headset and that didnt work either, but I was not sure if it supposed to or not.
i had same probs with bt headsets and the problem was the stock music apk. installed winamp and everything works. try

It is not just with music. Mic does not work as well, so can't use the headset for voice calls

I had the same problem with the Mic on my Samsung headset. Earphones worked fine, but the Mic sounded like there was a short in the wire. I know it sucks, but just bite the bullet and buy a new pair.

I guess I have to buy another set. disappointing to see such low quality standards from Samsung.
Any recommendations for headsets which work well with Android?

I believe you can thru Bluetooth or an aux jack.

Not unless the car stereo supports MTP. Most only support USB mass storage which is deprecated on many Android devices now.
A2DP or headphone jack work fine.

So there is no setting inside the andriod to make it compactable with the USB cable? Or is there a work around to make it possible without a aux or Bluetooth ?
Not possible at all. I work at a car stereo shop and not a single one I have tried works. Only solution is auxilary or Bluetooth if you want to spend the extra money... Definitely worth it if you ask me though

Ok thanks for that insight. Just want to clear one more thing on it. Is there any tweaks out there for rooted devices that would make this possible?

Does the aux deliver a better sound experience compared to Bluetooth?

As far as i know there is not... USB is a pain in the ass with android and car stereos anyways. It reads the entire SD card directory and makes it a pain in the ass to navigate through your music. Go for Bluetooth man

Bluetooth quality is purer because straight data.

This actually really dissapointed me, as it was one of my favourite use-cases for my phone, not having to maintain two (or more) seperate music collections - prevents the phenomenon of heading off on a planned highly enjoyable car trip with my current favourite music, only to find that I didn't move it onto the appropriate USB device.
My last phone was an HTC Sensation running a 4.1 JB ROM, I forget which exactly, it got changed a lot . Something minimal. Anyway...
I tried using the headphone jack out, into my car stereo aux in, and even when I upped the input source level in the stereo hardware, and cranked up the volume on the Nex4, it only got to about 60% of the volume I wanted. Bah. The Bluetooth adapter for the stereo is like $200 if it's even available anymore. Very lame.
I could get a headphone amp. Actually, that's probably the easiest thing to do for me. Off I go to the web store.
Ramble over. Oh, first post here. Hi y'all. (software dev)
Thanks for the much needed insight into this issue now. Right now I have to look for Bluetooth adapter. And I hope Google will fill this gap of charging and using the music player with the same single USB cable it would be a good thing to have too.
Hi all hope you all having a fantastic day with nexus 4

Bluetooth is convenient as there is no wire, but folks claiming Bluetooth has better audio quality than line out are incorrect (sorry). You will have much better audio quality with the line out, assuming your head unit's aux input has enough gain to get to levels you normally listen to.

My Sony WX-GT80UI says that it accepts MTP.. But when my Nexus 4 is connected, it says device not compatible. How is this? Do I need to have music files on root of card or what else could make a difference?
