[Q] Do headsets work on Nexus 7? - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello, I recently purchased Sennheiser CX 275s earphones for my Nexus 7, but I have found out that the mic and headset controls do not work. I have searched a lot on the internet as well on XDA forums about this issue, but I havent been able to find any concrete info saying that headsets do not work. Some speculated that it is a hardware issue, and that the jack does not support mic input. Please, can anybody confirm whether or not headsets work with the Nexus 7? And I apologize if this thread was unnecessary.
Thank you!

To me, a headset includes a mike. The nexus 7 manual mentions headsets but I believe the 2012 only supports headphones on the jack. A Bluetooth headset will work, and a Bluetooth converter will make your wired headset BT compatible. This one uses a built in mike instead of the one on the headset, there's probably one that will work.

Bluetooth with Skype?

Can anyone confirm making a skype call on the xoom with a bt headset? Skype doesn't officially support bluetooth, but I've been searching around and have seen people getting different results. There are some saying that it works fine with A2DP headsets, but I'm sure none of those were running Honeycomb. There are others saying A2DP headsets only give you the earpiece audio and the mic doesn't work. I would really appreciate some help with this so I don't have to buy and return 5 different headsets.

I don't think the Nexus will support headsets with microphone, I treid ujsing my Sony headset with mic, also an older HTC set, although, they worked fine as headphones, no audio from microphone.
So, I suspect, the Nexus will not support these type of headsets............

Wireless headset with the nexus 7?

So I'm looking at 2 wireless headsets to use with my tablet. No clue if it's even possible, but that's why I'm asking you guys.
The first link is to the official ps3 wireless over the ear headset.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0053OLY9O
Second link is to the Sony 900mhz over the ear wireless headset.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0001YFZ2I
Blue tooth isn't supported on either one. The Ps3 set has a mic and is strictly usb
The Sony set has no mic and uses a stereo jack.

The PS3 one would probably need specific drivers and the USB transmitter would need to be plugged into an OTG cable attached to the tablet. Specific drivers probably rule that one out. The Sony one that has a stereo plug would work if you used a Bluetooth Stereo adapter http://www.amazon.com/Jabra-CLIPPER-Bluetooth-Stereo-Headset/dp/B0040X33SE/ref=pd_cp_cps_1 Samsung, Sony, Motorola, etc make similar devices. You wear the bluetooth adapter and plug your headphones into the adapter. I use a Motorola Soundpilot and Bose headset they work quite well within the limitations of BT for music and games.
I got this last week. So far so good.

Have you used / tried the microphone for VOIP voice calls Vonage, Google Voice etc??
I think I'm getting these. Plus can use with ps3, etchttp://www.gamestop.com/accessories/universal-afterglow-wireless-headset/103048

Bluetooth headset on the a500

Has anyone successfully found a Bluetooth headset that works with Skype? Seems like only stereo headsets work for listening only... I found a wired headset that works for talking and listening.. but I think the microphone support for Bluetooth is broke.. doesn't work on my a100 either but wired does.... lame of Acer to put out tablets like that.. my galaxy s3 works great bluetoothing with skype..

[Q] Does the nexus 7 work with bluetooth earphones?

The other day I received a pair of plantronics backbeat GO earphones which are Bluetooth earphones. When I got these I tried to use them with my rooted nexus 7 and they paired and connected to the device fine but will not output any sound except for the connecting and disconnecting sounds the earphones make by themselves. So I was wondering if they just are not compatible with my device.

They should be, bluetooth devices such as headsets or headphones are pretty universal. Need more details to figure out why they're not working.
Also have you tried pairing them with other devices such as a laptop or another phone or tablet?
Mine work fine with it. Also pair to bt stereo and car fine.

Yeah I figured they should be compatible but unfortunately I haven't been able to test the earphones out on anything else, I am unsure as my nexus is rooted and I have installed the beats audio drivers which may have disabled the Bluetooth function but I am unsure because I don't have much experience with android

I can connect and pair with Bluetooth but audio doesn't stream and plays out of the speakers, however if I open the plantronics app I can record audio and hear it with the earphones. This problem also occurs across every player and any possible source of audio output throughout the device.

try your earphones with other devices and also try other bluetooth earphones with your N7...
I don't own any other Bluetooth earphones and everyone else in my house is tech depraved and any device they have doesn't have bluetooth

I have no problems with the earphones, it is just the device. My speakers have stopped playing at full volume and now these Bluetooth earphones won't stream. My only real concern is whether or not the app attached is the cause of my problems.
