Looking for headphones with mic + volume control - Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello.
I just switched to Atrix from Fuze which I used for last 4 years. One thing I'm missing is headphones with microphone AND volume control, so I don't have to pull out the phone to lower the volume..So far I wasn't able find any such headphones, just a few with mic, but no volume control..
Preferably earbuds that can be placed outside of the ear canal
Any suggestions?
Thank you.

Check those out, I just bought them, received them today. I heard many good things about it and read many reviews, almost all of them excellent. They have very exceptional sound quality, and come with a charger and three sets of ear buds. two of them larger, and one small. The larger ones work best for me. It works great for calling. It also has an added HD feature which can be activated or deactivated. The best part about it is... No cords! Even though it's bluetooth, the sound quality is so much better then normal headphones.

I have these headphones too (actually I just replied to your other post) and wanted to know how you turn the HD mode off and on. I never seen that.

I have the s4i's and they do not work for volume control on the Atrix. The microphone does work however. I absolutely love the headphones and their sound quality is fantastic for music. Easily the best sub $100 headphones I've owned. Their remote however, is designed to work with iOS devices. I came from a 3gs to the Atrix which is why I bought them and they worked great with the 3gs. The remote does not function with the Atrix though.

Johnny, you hold the forward seek button down to turn it on and off

Believe it or not the head phones sound better without the hd on due to an ear condition I have. Thanks for the info.

So are there ANY wired headsets that work w/ the Atrix and allow music pause/resume and phone call answer/hangup?
I love the phone, but every time I slap my SIM back in my iPhone 4, it's such a frickin' relief that I can count on pausing audio playback, and answering calls by clicking my mic button.
I realize that w/ Android, there is not only no standardized hardware, but the music playback apps vary in functionality. For the record, I use Double Twist, and mostly listen to podcasts. Man, I would kill for an in-ear headset that could be controlled by the mic biutton. I don't even care about volume control at this point, it seems like an absurd fantasy to hope for such a thing on the Atrix.

Search for Headset Button Controller on the market. It's not a free app but it allows you to play, pause, or skip your music and it allows you to answer and end calls. It functions with any pair of headsets that have a button control. This is what I'm currently using and it works great. The app is only $2. 25 and there is a trial version you can test out before you purchase it. But of course the paid version functions better than the trial.

Hey, thanks for the suggestion. The app didn't work w/ one pair of headphones (Skullcandy 50/50) I own, but seems to work w/ the other (some other super cheap Skullcandy). At least for pause/resume (the working cheap pair doesn't have volume control integrated). Worth the $2.50 considering how much I drop on a set of headphones. Much obliged.

Someone else suggested the Sony MW600 and they rock!
There's a bit of a delay when using the buttons, but the sound quality is perfect! Almost like actually plugging in your headphones.

I guess to everyone is their own...I never cared much about how I look or what other think about me using wired headphones. If wireless headphones can be used none-stop for 12-15 hours on my bicycle trips without need carry extra batteries then sure, I'd use them, but I doubt there are any or even close to that exists yet.
P.S.
Your "wireless" headphones don't look too "wireless" to me...what's the point?

I guess alot would rather stick their atrix in their jeans and have a 20 feet wire dangling around the waist area. Thats rather ridiculous looking.
12-15hrs? are you trying to scale mount everest by biking uphill? LOL!
I bike quite alot too especially the summer weather here and having a wire sticking out either casual biking or terrain biking spells disaster. Also, for safety's sake, did u not read anything about bike safety? u shouldnt be biking while having ur headset on. You should be paying attention. I dont think u should be biking then. No such thing as accident bud.....
PS:
Rather than a 20feet wire dangling around your neck. Only wonder woman I know carries a lasso. ROFL!!!

That Sony adapter is interesting. Especially in that you can use it w/ any standard set of headphones. So does it pause/resume and answer calls fine w/ the Atrix? Does it depend on the app? I tend to use DoubleTwist, so that where I'd want the button control to work.

Best stereo bluetooth headset with 3.5 mm jack?

Can somebody recommend a stereo bluetooth headset for the HD which has a 3.5 mm jack to use your own headphones?
Thx
I'm confused by this - Why would you need a 3.5mm jack if they're bluetooth??
I use the Motorola S9 bluetooth headset and it works perfectly - I also have iTech blueband ones, but not tried those as yet (no need to really)
I tried my sony wired phones last night watching a movie on it and they work perfectly as well (first time I tried the 3.5mm jack output)
I use the Sony DS980, and the sound is awesome. Its got a mic on it, as well as an OLED console display that lets you access your phone book, make calls, displays song title, etc.. but check it out on youtube.
I've got the Motorola S9 as well and can't recommend it.. the sound, the build quality, the features, battery life -- all pretty poor.

It's a simple explanation: I don't want to have to take it out of my pocket when I'm listening to music or taking a phone call and I want to use my own Sennheiser earphones.

STILL not with you on this dude - they're either wired OR bluetooth, certainly the way I interpret it (unless you mean a dongle of some description???)
Is there some kind of product out there that allows you to 'piggy back' into and use regular wired headphones into them or something??
I wouldn't dispute that the Sony's are way better than the motorola - I can't use earbud phones though [at all!] otherwise I'd love to give them a try - and yes, now you mention it the battery life really does suck too - I use mine only ever in the gym though so they're fine for a couple of hours at a time

I have tried both the SE HBH-DS205 (your bottom picture) and the Sony DRC-BT15 (your top picture). I think that the SE version has nice sound (good bass and highs, even without Audio Booster in stock Audio Manager), but it has no playback controls, so the phone willl need to come out of you pocket sometimes.
The Sony version has playback controls, but it is very thick and the sound was a bit "tinnier" to my ear.
With both of these units, I had issues with swistching between calls and music. Sometimes the switch back to music works, sometimes it doesn't and the music comes out through the handset speaker at full volume (much to the chagrin of NYC subway riders around me). I have read in these forums that disabling or adjusting the min/max BT bitpool can alleve these problems, but I like my bitpool high for the sound and am tooo lazy to fiddle around with min/max settings, sooo...
I just use Ultimate Ears Super.fi 4vi, a wired set with a very lightweight profile, a mic and (most importantly) the best sound (to my ears) out there for a 2-in-1 headset.

Then just get Blutooth headphones - like the motorola S9. You can take calls, listen to music, skip tracks etc. Most ones allow that.
The best
Sony Ericsson HBH-DS200, for me the best.
sk801, is it possible to use the Sony BT dongle to control the HD, while using your Superfi connected to the HD by the 3.5mm port (wired) for earbud sound?
Also, I assume your 4 vi control/mic is working on the HD? What controls does it have aside from call pickup/end?
perhaps stupid question, im looking for a stereo BT device and those sony ones look quite nice BUT do they work to skip tracks while you're playing music on the htc player and the pda has the screen off???
I have Motorola Pilot
MOTOROLA SOUND PILOT S705,
...Remote Control...Play, Pause, Volume And Track Control. Ability to take calls in mid music,3.5mm Headset Included... Or Use Your Own, Extended Range...Up To 330 ft., FM Radio, Wear Comfortably...Shirt Clip And Neck Strap Included, Caller ID And FM Station Display,Talk/Music Time...Up To 7hrs. Standby Time Up To 3 Days
I my case I am using it with my own Sony MDR-NX2 that comes with a convenient neck-strap, so I hang the bluetooth there, they are really comfortable, the sound is very good, you can lock the buttons, and you can find both things on ebay. I used to have and HTC advantage so it was very bulky to use it as phone, so these both products made my life easier, and now with my htc touch HD I am using them too, because I don't like the wires and the headset that comes with it. on the other hand you can use also the bluetooth with regular speakers if you own ones to streem and answer your calls from it.
the sony 980 doesn't work very well? both of you get the same results? i was thinking of buying that... if you could explain then it would be greatful thanks!
What do you guys thing about the new Sony HBH-IS800? You think they will be worth it? I mean will I be able to skip tracks with them?
Here a litte picture of the earphones:
Definitely thinking about buying them!
Ascenca
I bought a Samsung SBH650 headset BT kit for 49 euros, just wonderful with the HD ! And there's a 3.5mm jack to plug your own earphones.
You can try Jabra BT3030. It has 3.5 connector and suberb design. Quality of sound is no so perfect if you compare to wired connection, but this good compromiss between a player/phone management comfort and sound quality.

Hi,
as you noticed from the signature, after few months of happy use of the Shure Se-110 i got (thanks Pere Noel!) a pair of...
WESTONE3
The problem: my vocabulary is not good enough to describe the feelings they generate
...basses....middles...highs...
The first reaction, is to forget the audio booster and the equalizer, to learn how it should have been in reality...
Maybe the best comment is: It feels like being there.
Forgetting for a second the description of how good they are (check here for better poetry! http://www.head-fi.org/forums/f103/...thing-else-aka-w3-appreciation-thread-386477/ )
One comment specific to the touch HD: forget about the 100 dB limitation unless you bought it in EU (i got it in switzerland) and you are using stock roms. I am actually thinking to cook my ROM (see signature) to be optimized for audiophiles, all WWE ROMS are not affected by this tweak.
Thanks to everybody that answered my original question in the thread, actually the hint towards the westone3 came first from NOBELOVE - thanks NOBELOVE! - you made me see the world in colours!!!
For the best value get the Moto HT820's
The HT820's are still available from several places including Amazon and are only $38 (US)!! Really an amazing piece of equipment for the price. Great sound for music and phone calls and it does have a 3.5mm jack (cable even comes with it).
Oh, disregard my post. I was confused by the OP's question. The 820's are still pretty great for $38 though.

Decent BT headphones

Hey all, I'm looking for a decent pair of BT headphones. After doing some research it seems the old Moto S9s and s9-HDs are still the way to go for the cash they can be had? Can anyone enlighten me a little further on a decent pair or your own person experiences?
i bought the S10-HD and they where great, the sound was amazing for the price, but the battery life will always be the issue. if you wont use them for more than 6-8 hours get the S-10HD. make sure even if you get the S9 that its the HD option.. very important.
last thing of note, they are a little uncomfortable for some people, pull them apart to stretch them out

I have had the S-9 and S-10s, the s-9s are superior. Go for them, no doubt.
I'm still rockin' my Jabra BT 620S pair from like 2007-2008, works fine and battery life is not an issue. Quality is pretty good, but no noise cancellation and wish it was a bit louder. I'll upgrade when these die
I love these HP headphones: http://www.frys.com/product/5656521
When I bought them they were the only full sized over the ear headphones. They also have decent noise cancelling. I need some BASS and the smaller ones are no better then earbuds. If you look around you can probably find them cheaper then $70, I think mine were like $55.
Motorolla Rokr. Awesome sound excellent controls and battery life...plus they are frikin waterproof.

Motorola S9-HD is the best that I have found. You have to turn off SRS to get decent sound. I had Jaybird JF3 also. They had too much high frequency distortion. Cymbals sounded weird for example. The S9 has good battery life. ~$50 on Amazon. Poor outdoor reception, great indoors though.

Thank you everyone. I have thanked you all.
I ended up buying some new wired Sennheiser/Adidas CX680i earbuds yesterday to get great sound quality plus mic and button for making calls. They are impressive. I also used headset button controller app to reassign multiple clicks of the one working button to track skip, volume, etc.
Unfortunately most wired sets are designed to have the skip buttons work for only ipod. The Sennheiser therefore has one of three buttons that work, but the app is a good workaround.
I was happy to find out that DSP Manager app works without root on android 2.3. I setup the bluetooth and headset profiles to use bass boost and custom equalizer.

I'm very interested in purchasing the MW600's, and was wondering if you can confirm that they work for controlling Google Music and/or BeyondPod. I assume from your post that's there is no problem with controlling phone calls. I've previously run into problems where I've purchased headphones that are not compatible with a particular phone, and I'd love to avoid that this time around Unfortunately neither Sony Ericsson nor HTC would confirm compatibility for me. Any insight anyone can offer would be greatly appreciated! Thanks.
I've had the sony s9 and they were great, but awkward to fit in a pocket.
I just picked up the bluedio one from ebay for about $18 and it's wicked!!!
It's a tiny HSP/HFP mono earpiece with a magnetic connector to connect the second earbud (which seems to activate A2DP stereo bt profile. Things are TINY!!! but great audio quality and great battery life!
My ONLY complaint so far is that it's a non-standard barrel connector charger... wish it was micro usb.
Bluedio stereo... check it out on ebay!

[Q] Looking for a good durable Stereo BT headset

I would like a decent bluetooth stereo headset that I can listen to music with and make and recieve calls on with this device. I've already tried the Motorla S10's and jaybird freedoms.

http://www.bestbuy.com/site/JayBird...8316933151&skuId=2264036&st=jaybird&cp=1&lp=4
Moto has a decent mic, but poor audio and bad signal range. However call's were serviceable.
The jaybirds have sensational audio clarity and quality (better on the iPhone though. Just sounds cleaner. dunno why?) and the bass is rich and crisp. Some of the best bud audio I've heard well...ever. Even rivals my klipsch S4i's *Only works on apple :-(*
Now for the bad. Calls are the worst I've ever expirenced! audio is muddy, the other end always complains I sound distant and traped in a far away restroom, audio cuts in and out and the volume in call is too low. Just horrid experience altogether that mares the device of its exceptional BT headphone feature.
And I would like ideally a headset with good range ~12-20ft from device. a decent battery cycle *8-12Hrs.* and has a good noise canceling mic and good audio quality for music and calls.
Does such a device exist? My budget is $80-150
Thanks in advanced.

I just think the sound quality and the mic suck for phone calls. :-/ which is disappointing. but the sound quality for music and such is nearly on par with my beats studios, although not as clear or loud. and they almost replicate the same timber/clarity of the klipsch S4i's they replaced. (best buds I've ever owned/used/seen) though there's a little distortion at higher volume levels. and I don't feel like they get as loud as I'd like.
i'm using my Sony Ericsson HBH-DS980 from 2007, great headset, no problems at all, even battery ok after 4 years of use.

Sony Ericsson Bluetooth devices are awesome. I have been using the hbh ds205 for years this is my second one my wife put the first one through the wash it still worked but the battery didn't hold a charge after that.
Anyways the great thing about it is you can use it for anything and use any headphones you want with it. I use my sennheiser ie7's.
It has all the controls...play pause volume up down skip track answer calls. Battery last like 8-10 hours of continuous playback.
I clip it on my shirt and work all day long with it. Clip it on my jacket and listen to tunes while I'm riding my motorcycle. Get in my car plug it in to the auxiliary cable, samething at home. Just got a portable speaker for cell phones so I can plug it into that and listen wirelessly. That's why its so great it makes everything wireless.
I don't think they make this model anymore but there is new versions. I'm gonna upgrade sometime because this little device is so awesome.

In terms of Voice Call Quality, the Plantronics 903+ are top notch. I also have the Jaybird Freedoms (best sound quality IMHO) as well as the Sony Ericsson MW600 which I like for the ability to plug in any Headphones I wish. I haven't heard many issues with the MW600 for the audio quality though.
I was told that the Jaybirds has a bit of a tinny sound when I talk on the phone though, bit of a downside (granted after my workout at the gym, I can't seem to find them, not too happy about that.) The Jaybirds battery life will not be the best in any way shape or form, you do pull off about 5 hours, which isn't bad, but nothing like the MW600 which get up to 11 hours.
The MW600 is not the best for working out in my opinion, no sealed ports and not water resistant/sweat resistant. The Plantronics 903+ isn't sweat resistant either contrary to what you read online, but it is durable. I have shorted out 6 pairs with the amount of sweat I have when working out. I even have shorted out a Motorola S9 which is supposed to be sweat resistant as well. Just my $0.02 take them as you wish.

Moto has a decent mic, but poor audio and bad signal range. However call's were serviceable.
The jaybirds have sensational audio clarity and quality (better on the iPhone though. Just sounds cleaner. dunno why?) and the bass is rich and crisp. Some of the best bud audio I've heard well...ever. Even rivals my klipsch S4i's *Only works on apple :-(*
Now for the bad. Calls are the worst I've ever expirenced! audio is muddy, the other end always complains I sound distant and traped in a far away restroom, audio cuts in and out and the volume in call is too low. Just horrid experience altogether that mares the device of its exceptional BT headphone feature.
And I would like ideally a headset with good range ~12-20ft from device. a decent battery cycle *8-12Hrs.* and has a good noise canceling mic and good audio quality for music and calls.
Does such a device exist? My budget is $80-150

I have had the same experience with the JayBirds as the OP. Good bluetooth speakers... horrible call quality. People couldn't understand me, complaining that I was muffled. I took them back after 2 days.
I am also looking for a good set of stereo bluetooth headphones, to use both in the car and the gym, and will be following this thread closely.

Anytime. I have been playing more with the MW600. In the end, there is no "perfect" bluetooth headphones for everything. When I'm at work I use my MW600, and when I am biking/working out I use my Jaybirds.
My MW600's came today and I was able to get a quick 20 mile ride in with them. So here is a quick review.
My first impression was wow is this thing small. With out headphones the unit is about 2.5 inches long and about .5 wide. The clip is not the greatest but seemed to hold on tight enough.
The headphones that came with it just looking at them I would say they are not the greatest design. The are not the "Standard" Y design with the plug on the bottom and the L & R ear buds at the top. Instead the plug and L ear bud are on the top and the R ear bud the bottom. This makes the L ear bud rather short. Tossed them right away.
Pairing could not have been easier. Pretty much standard Turn the unit on, Turn on BT on the phone tell it to look for devices and then pair it up. After pairing I turned the headset off for a hour and then turned it back on and it did pair right up again so no problems there.
The Unit
The controls will take a bit of getting use to. Pretty much anywhere you touch it you are going to be touching a control surface. Looking at the headset with the LED screen facing you and headphones on top the volume is on the left, ff, play/pause, and rw are on the left. On the top of the front face is the call button with a mic right above it and at the bottom above the Micro USB port is the power.
The volume will take a bit to get use to as well. it is not a physical button but a touch surface that is not all that sensitive (in the end I think this is a good thing.) you turn it up or down by running your finger over the surface in the direction that you want it to go. To go to full volume or min volume it takes a couple of swipes of your finger or you can press and hold at the top or bottom to up and down.
FF, Play/Pause, and RW seem to work fine and it is not a problem to use them.
I have not had a chance to place or get a call yet so can not speak to how well the call button works or the sound quality. I will post as soon as I get a chance to use the headset for a call.
Sound Quality.
I did not test the headphones that came with it so I can not speak to them. I used a pair of headphones that came with my Captivate (could not find my better Skulls at the time.) I would not say that the sound was out of this world but it was pretty good for using a pair of headphones that came with a phone. Did not get any distortion at the level that I had it, no popping not hissing. Would not say that the sound was deep and rich but it was good.
The Extra's
One of the nice things about this unit is that you can use use a high end set of headphones with out a mic because the unit has a mic built in. So if you have a really good set of headphone I would use them.
FM Radio worked good. was able to pull in the radio station that I listen to all the time and it came in very clear. To the FM radio you hold down the play/pause button until 2 little icons display on the LED then use the play/pause button again to select what you want. I did not try it but I do not think that you can listen to the radio and the use the headset for calls at the same time.
Over all I like the headset it has good sound and with a good set of headphones I think it will be even better. Pairing could not be any easier and once paired held the pairing very well. I did not get any interruptions when I went over bumps that I did get with other BT headsets. I do not think that working out with the headset will be a issue seeing that it is clipped to the outside of my shirt I would have to get a REALLY good sweat going to for it to affect the unit but seeing as it is 45 degrees here right now the proof will have to wait until I get in the gym.
At this point the only con I have is the controls. Like I said it is really hard to handle the unit with out touching one of the controls (Most often volume) but again I think that it is pretty much a matter of time before I "learn" how to handle it with out touching something.
On a scale of 1-10 I would give the headset a solid 8
If you can still find them, Homer HHS1220 I believe was the BEST bang for the buck a few years ago. Legitimate 12 hour battery and pretty comfy to wear.

I bought the Phiaton PS 20 BT stereo headset ($125 at Newegg) about a month ago. The sound quality is great, on both music and calls. Distance, to me, is impressive. Built-in battery charges via USB, and battery life has been good for me.
The microphone is the only thing that's a bit finicky. Some people tell me that it sounds like I'm on a wired headset. Others tell me it sounds like I'm in a tunnel. The problem boils down to what shirt I'm wearing! If I have button-down shirt or a breast pocket, then it's easy to dial the mic in for great sound. But if I'm wearing a t-shirt ... forget it.

Need a bluetooth headset, music, stealthly. Any suggestions?

I'm looking for a bluetooth headset. Needs to be less noticeable then a standard bluetooth and play music. Basically where I work we aren't allowed to have a radio but it's boring factory work and I find I'd be completely safe using a bluetooth speaker in one ear as long as it was small and not instantly noticed. I don't need a mic either as it won't be for calls.

Years ago I used a Jabra BT8010 for this until it quit working. It had great battery life and, when used for music in mono-mode, people assumed it was big only because of the Caller ID display.
Thanks. But that would be noticed right away in my ear. I found a few smaller bluetooth earbud types on ebay but they say they won't play music.
MJC
Maybe I'm ahead of technology lol. There's gotta be a smaller single earbud out there. Just need to be able to play music and rechargeable.

Of course, but it would not be noticed as something you are listening to music and podcasts on.
A2DP would run a typical small headset's battery dead in a few hours so, yes, you are ahead of technology. When I did security I always wanted one of those Sena kits to connect my phone and 2-way security radio to an A2DP headset but I'd still want an all-day battery.
Well lg tone plus I'm at work put it under my collar and run it over my ear

Go with the Plantronics M165 or M155. The M165 is the newer model and has a little longer battery life and I believe its BT 4.0. It's hands down the smallest and best quality BT headset I've had. You should be able to find o Amazon for around $50 or less. The sound quality is amazing, its lightweight and has a real on/off switch and there are voice prompts. An updated model should be out soon. The only feature missing is NFC pairing, not sure it would make a big difference as the sound quality, ease of pairing and controls are all straightforward. It also pairs with multiple devices. I'm currently using mine with a Note 3 and Galaxy S3 with no issues.
sony SBH50. i can use my favorite pair of earbuds ( I use YURBUDS) or connect to car/home stereo via 3.5mm plug. it has a caller ID display and media controls and gets 10-10.5 hours of calls and streaming daily with the bluetooth 3.0.

I just got these in the mail today. So far they sounds really good while using Viper4Android.
The earpieces are a little big, but they are pretty light. The stabilizers do a pretty good job of holding them in your ear. I'll give a more detailed review as I use them.
LG Tone+ HBS-730, because it has APTX support, and the Note 3 does support that as well. Much better sound, CD quality over Bluetooth.
And they look great,very light weight. I bought them here :
http://www.ebay.com/itm/LG-Tone-Plu...uetooth_Wireless_Products&hash=item1c3a4ca34d
I ended up getting LG-Tone+ 700. They've been great. Paired with the phone perfectly and for the Sound, it's pretty Close to wired. I don't get any Kind of Signal loss. I'm planning to replace the rubber earpieces with comply's. I have them for my wired headphones and I love them.

Decent (price and quality) USB-C to 3.5 mm Headphone Jack Adapter

Hi,
If you are like me, you like to have more than one accessory "in case of".
Huawei USB-C to 3.5 mm Headphone Jack Adapter is good and I search long time to find something not too expensive and that will do the same job.
I found this article: https://9to5google.com/2018/11/01/hands-on-apple-usb-c-headphone/ with this information:
"The new Apple USB-C to 3.5mm headphone jack adapter, though, seems to work flawlessly with essentially every device I’ve tried it with so far.
For Google’s Pixel devices, it works without a hitch. Simply plug it in and hit play and your tunes are good to go. The same applied for the Huawei P20 Pro and Essential Phone which I also tested out."
So I went to Apple store to buy one ($10 CAD, $9 USD, really not expensive) and it works really great.
Just a little pop-up about "using not certified adapter" but nothing wrong about music song during my test.
I thought it was a good news to share
Here are the link (valid in 2018 December):
USA Apple Store: https://www.apple.com/shop/product/MU7E2AM/A/usb-c-to-35-mm-headphone-jack-adapter?fnode=91
Canadian Apple Store: https://www.apple.com/ca/shop/product/MU7E2AM/A/usb-c-to-35mm-headphone-jack-adapter?fnode=91
The Huawei adapter cost 5€ on Amazon, it won't get cheaper than that.

Sound seems the same at equal sound level.

Do you have any other earbud that you could test? I would appreciate it if you could check and confirm that their output is the same, as if it is there is no reason to buy another adapter.
My big problem is that when I am snowboarding I am using a helmet with earphone integration and since I switched phones and bought the P20 pro I notice a HUGE downgrade in volume, which is really noticeable when we are talking abt helmet earphones and not earbuds. The max volume must have gone to maybe half of the output of my previous HTC phone with 3.5mm jack.
Thanks!

I will do with other earbuds and one full headset I have and I will report you back shortly
Following
I can confirm there is a quality issue but not on adapter, on headset.
I made a test in a quiet room, using same software (Deezer), same song and same volume.
My usual earbuds were ok, also an old Samsung earbuds (surprisingly). But my cheap full headset was horrible : bad sound and not as strong as full volume compare to others.
I switched from Huawei and Apple adapter many times to confirm.
Hope this will help.
Please keep in mind that was done without material, only my personal feeling (but difference was huge)
Happy new year everyone

With the adapter provided with the phone I could do the double click, this new dac one just pauses and plays

Been following this for a little bit and I'm still trying to wrap my brain around the audio path for the P20Pro. Looking for backup option and I'm settling on the apple usb-c to 3.5mm as a quick and cheap replacement for the huawei dongle as for canada, theres plenty of Apple and best buy stores around.
Thanks Saison for testing the dongles. My questions is that if the Apple dongle has a built-in DAC, does the P20Pro know to use the dongle for digital-analog conversion vs trying to push its own analog audio for 'pass-thru'?
Thanks!

Lots of people talking about this dongle: Venture Elektronica Odyssey Type-C tot 3.5mm DAC dongle and its sold out due to high demand and no restock for months since they doing a dongle upgrade so guess ill wait for that one.
I also use the apple one, it's cheap ($10), but volume seems a bit low.
One added bonus, it works with apple-compatible cables with mic/volume/prev/next controls! At least it works with the Bose QC 25, iOS version.
The stock adapter didn't work so well for me, it only worked in one direction and the sound quality seemed pretty bad.

Hmmm just tested again, and yes, apple one is quieter. Ok that's annoying!
I had my huawei adaptor failing at me the first day of my snow trip a few days ago (that was a bummer[emoji35]). Now I will try to find the Google adapter which is supposed to work much better and is supposed to be much louder but it is not sold in my country, so my bets were for the apple one.
The bad thing is that even the huawei one was a lot quieter than my previous phones, so I guess the apple one is a no go..
