iPhone headset on gs3 - Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)

My wife called me saying her iPhone headset doesn't work on her new gs3. I haven't had a chance to see her yet. Anyone know if this is true?

More than likely it is. Most iPhone headsets don't work. She doesn't like the included headphones with the gs3?

They are in ear noise cancelling and not safe to use while driving and uncomfortable fit for her ear. The stock iPhone ones are great or she just got used to them. She had the evo4g and they worked great so I know it's ot a droid thing

Aren't ANY headphones in your ear while driving not safe?

There are apparently two kind of wiring in the head phones. All headphone with mic connectors have four terminals, however the order they are wired up is different.
I know this for a fact because my captivate headsets did not work on my Sony X10.
In fact if you try to press and hold the accept call button on the headset while playing music you will realize that they quality of music suddenly improves.
Solution either get some different headset or get http://www.meelec.com/MEE_TRRS_Adapter_for_P_Version_Headphones_p/adptr-trrs-35.htm
The above product worked well from captivate => X10. I probably would in your case too

Have her download that and give it a try!

I can confirm that my iPod Touch headset that has an in-line microphone also does not work.

The iPhone headset will not fully work on the galaxy s note or s 3 because of how apple made their remote.they love to custom products for their products.(greed)
If you want pair of ear buds that have the remote work all three buttons here is a link http://item.mobileweb.ebay.com/viewitem?itemId=300625164026&index=3&nav=SEARCH&nid=31728916865

Why do you need the volume so high? On my IEMs, half the max volume is as high as I'll go for regular listening. Max seems like you'd blow out your ears. If you really want to have higher volume without ruining the sound, your best option would be a portable amp.

What kind of earbuds? Some earbuds have a very high impedance and should be driven with an amplifier. I have a pair of Etymotic ER4S earbuds that need an amplifier to drive them.
DSP manager can increase the listening experience dramatically. Just rip it out of the cm7 beta or the blue chronic homebase update.

You can get a decent headphone amp for less than $20. E.g. this one in the UK: http://www.amazon.co.uk/FiiO-E5-Headphone-Amplifier-Black/dp/B0026RJQJ6/ref=pd_rhf_shvl1
If you listen to a lot of music and use nice earphones/headphones it's definitely worth getting one of these. Just make sure you get a rechargable one cos the batteries don't last long...
i seriously think there may be something wrong with your phone or maybe your earbuds...
of all the phones ive tried the atrix has all-around the best sound and volume... its one of the reasons i ditched the SGS2 for it. really no need to go and buy an amp. try getting better earplugs or see if theres really something wrong with your phone.

Aux jack design

What's with the design of this jack? I don't use ear buds but presume most will connect fine, but neither my Foxl speakers nor external amp will connect because of the curve of the phone. No problem with the GNex. Annoyed.

They'll connect just fine? Make sure you press hard enough for it to snap in! It's a standard 3.5mm jack. Just with a little bit of it cut out for the curve

I wouldn't worry too much, it took me a few minutes to figure out they had to snap in. I thought I had a faulty jack at first

Lose the overrated headphones and get something cheaper and better!
I heard that have an app that fixes the problem.
Is that true?
Go to the play store and do a search for eq apps, play around with the settings until your happy with the sound and also try out your ear buds you got with the iPhone and see how they sound.
I've found the nexus 4 to be quite flat in terms of eq and that's a good thing in my opinion.

urbeats + galaxy S4?

Is it possible to get the Dre Urbeats working with the S4? I wasn't able to get them working with my HTC One, but I figured it might work on the S4 since they work fine on my S3. (Volume, etc all works) I haven't been able to get them to work with anything on the S4 yet, any ideas? Thanks.

I also have a pair of urbeats and the volume buttons do not work with my S4. I have tested them on my iPhone, iPod and other mp3 players and they work fine.

Gross...beats are terrible headphones - if your gonna spend hundreds of dollars on a pair of headphones than get some real studio headphones...dont beleive me beats are bad...look at any top 10 pair if headphone list...you will never find a pair of beats there...just some advice from an audiophile..only people who think beats are good are those who have never actually listened to a quality pair of headphones

I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE.
I have a pair of ATH-M50s and these things are a beast!
So that being said, my PC, macbook, and iPhone 4S, before I traded it in for this, are really loud. The GS4 doesn't go loud as it should. I used poweramp as the music player, but it's a hideous music player and clogs up the screen.
Really upsetting that Samsung limits the volume for us to hear. Hopefully someone has a fix for this or something?

Seriously?? You think the volume is low?? I think the volume through both speakers and headphones is quite high and a lot clearer than my previous phone, an HTC Vivid, which utilizes "Beats" audio.
But I do believe that Beats on the Vivid was simply a software modification of the sound like an EQ adjustment, rather than anything like a hardware change.
And just for reference, I use a pair of Denon AH-D1100 headphones quite frequently.

On the newer htc phones beats is more than an eq setting. They have built in amps now for both the speakers and the headset jack.
I've honestly used all of the eq settings on most of my devices but it never compared to actual stock beats settings or how great voodoo sound was for older Samsung devices as well as the og Asus transformer.

The DSP manager in Cyanogenmod worked well for me. I have no desire to own anything that says beats. Just waiting for Dan to release his secret unlock. I use bose qc3's, they're no seinhesier's or AT's but they get the job done.
