Headphone Jack - Does it support a Microphone?

Just wondering..... The headphone jack on the bottom of the Nexus 7, does it support a microphone also?
If so..... what is your recommendation for ear buds and microphone combination that will plug into the jack?

Yes it does, and I've used both Ultimate Ears 500vi and Klipsch s4a with my N7. Both are mid-range ($50+), but they both had fantastic sound quality and microphone quality. If you're an audiophile though or plan on using them for music as well, the Klipsch provide clearer/more defined sound. Klipsch also has an Android app available to customize the reactions to various clicks of the built-in button on the headphones.

I attempted to use my cheap Skullcandy headphones which have a mic, but I don't think they worked. I'll have to try again in a more controlled scenario.

Which is funny since it would appear that the Nexus 7 does not have mic support via the jack after all.

Good stuff, but the headphone jack does not support a mic, so the mic your are using is the mic built into the top of the N7.

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

You're right, I'm an idiot. Didn't have to press so hard on the GNex but there you go. Thanks.

That's what the forum is here for pal - no need to be embarrassed (well maybe a little bit lol)

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

I know with the bumper it's a bit hard to connect to the jack

[Q] Earpiece fuzzing on high volume

Hi,
I've just noticed recently that on high volume, my Nexus 4 makes fuzzing sound during a call. The earpiece vibrates too strong and it makes components around it vibrate too.
I wonder if you have the same problem.
Thanks for replying in advanced!

Lots Of Headphone Noise

When I'm using my N7 to play music I get a lot of white noise in the background. It's barely noticeable in loud songs but when listening to a quite song or nothing with the headphones plugged in it is extremely noticeable. Does anyone else have this problem and has anyone been able to fix it?
What headphone you use? My nexus is also make noise with my sensitive iem (cx300 II).

I notice it with both my Klipsch Image S-4's and my Bose Quietcomfort 3's. The Bose are noticeably worse, probably because you cant hear anything else.
Unplug the charger? I have the same problem but it's only there when I have my N7 plugged in.

I'm with clintvl. I have the same issue only while its plugged in.

Mine is with or without it plugged in. That makes sense though, with a car charger the noise gets really bad.

I've got the same problem. No matter what headphones i use or whether it is plugged in or not, the background noise is there and very annoying..

Does Your Note 3's Speaker Distort at High Volume?

Just wondering if it distorts or not when at max volume? Is it normal?

mine does cause i have very loud sound mode
Yes it does. It is normal for this phone. HTC one is the only phone with decent speakers. I'm looking into bluetooth speakers to use at home but it's hard to know the best deal for as little $ as possible. I'm not springing for Bose speakers.
Beamed from my Galaxy Note 3
Yup

Yup mine also distorts. Viper4android has helped alleviate this problem for me at high volumes.
