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,
Does anyone can confirm this pinout for Defy's jack 3.5mm?
1. Tip - Left audio
2. Ring - Right audio
3. Ring - Ground
4. Sleeve - Mic
or this used in most mobiles:

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

they are probably for an iPhone, i have the same problem with my Beats Solo ControlTalk, cant use the volume buttons only the centre button, there is an app in the play store called Klipsch Control that can make the centre button do various things.
hi,
i'm looking for ear hook headphones with microphone compatible with android.
I've seen lots from Philips, Seinheisser, and Jabra. But most mention iphone compatibility.
Will these still work on the S4 or do I need something compatible with android?
Does anyone know how the Galaxy S4 decipher the signals coming from the OEM earphones? I plugged them into my HTC One and the controls either dont work or have different functions. I'm curious as to how the volume control works. Is it a Samsung thing only? Is it hardware or software related? And If it is hardware related then whether is it the earphone themselves or the phone itself.
And another question, does anyone know a way to get volume control and mic control on an Apple compatible headset to work with the S4 or any android device? I prefer not to modify my earphones, but I don't mind getting an adapter if that's the case. I don't want to spend time modifying the adapters either. I've read that there are TRRS adapters to convert Apple TRRS to standard ones used in nokia, android, etc. devices, but I cannot find any for a decent price.
I tried several apps but they either have no volume button control settings or it just doesn't work with my headphones. Some did work with the Samsung OEM earphones though, but I'd rather use mine.
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?
