[Q] Earphones

Anyone know of a good set of earphones that will also control the media player? I want to be able to click a button on the mike to pause the music and pick up a call. Then, when the call is over, have the music resume again. I had this on my blackberry, but haven't found it on android yet.

That's nice! but i don't really favour the thing you put in your ear...
I think only SE can provide you with the features for our phones as i plugged in Apple earphones with the volume control once and it kept stopping the song.

Just bought one, here it costs 62$, but just found one crappy disclaimer from SE site "The products X10, X10 mini, X10 mini pro, X8 will operate call handling (take/reject calls) music handling (play/pause). Please note; volume and LiveKey™ not supported for those products."
Could use a dev opinion, if it isn't the same **** as X10 doesn't support dual touch Because I'm pretty sure that 3.5mm ports aren't specially modified to support simple buttons?
I use MW 600,hi-fi headset. It is bluetooth. Comes in reasonable price. My Friends using nokia, samsung, etc.... Ordered MW600 after seeing its performance!

The sound quality is great, as is the option to perform tasks using the live key.
Make sure you get the new ones, not the old SE ones.

Exactly, I've tried my Xperia S Livesound headset on my Arc S and it doesn't work. Please take note everyone.
old ones only works with xperia 2011 models, new ones for xperia 2012 models, they both seem to have the same model numbers and looks identical according to sony's official web site.

Ooooh lucky you.... I only got the first kind. Had to buy mine separately.
I looking for this headset and i believe the sound quality is good and by read all the comments from all over the media i believing it.
Now comparing both of the head set. First named Livesound and only work for 2011 xperia ( based fr the web ) and the Smart Headset can be use for any phone with 3.5mm jack.
I think sony developing and change their input and socket series.
My choice will be the smart headset, becouse it can be used for any phone

the smart headset does not work with all 3.5mm socket,all xperia 2011 also has 3.5mm, but does not work with smart headset, check sonys site for compatible handsets.
after emailing Sony and being told they couldn't tell me a release date for the smart headset I decided to buy the Jays one+ which work perfectly and have the app from play store due to only having one button

Thats what i said at the older post, the Livesound Hi-fi 3.5mm doesnt work for other 3.5mm phone. But sony claims their new smartheadset 3.5mm could work for other phone.
I suggest come and visit their official site

it's your post that is misleading.
you say the live sound is only for 2011 xperia--true, but other non SE brand phnes may work.
you say the smart headset works with any phone with 3.5mm socket--not true, it will work with many and the ones stated in their site, the xperia 2011 phones also has the 3.5 mm socket, these will not work.

A Jays Four

Hello Guys,
Just wanted to ask if this particular headset works on Sony Xperia Sola. Sound quality and buttons?
http://www.jays.se/products/a-jays-four
I know it says made for *Phone but still want to know.
Thanks
The a-JAYS Four are not working with Xperia S : no sound !
I had them for my Iphone 4S and they work fine with it.
I had to buy a-JAYS One+ for my Xperia S.
ah I see, thanks for the info! Does the button (single/double/triple press) work? how bout the sound quality?

I have a Jays One Plus too. The button works perfect. The app by Jays gives a better control. The sound quality is better than stock headphones, good, but not good as many others. I realize i made a bad decision...
Try pressing "+" while plugging in ajays4 to the Android phone. Sound should work, but the buttons may not. I own ajays one+ too

[ISSUE] Micromax A116 Canvas HD - Headphones compatibilty problem

So, guys, I bought the new Canvas HD (Micromax A116) ...
Everything is very well exceeding my expectations except two issues (one minor, one major)
Minor - GPS has problems latching onto a satellite. Can be fixed with some booster apps, I guess. There are youtube videos out there explaining the process (Haven't tried them yet)
Major - Any headphones other than the stock ones provided in the Box with the phone, do not run properly with this device.
I mean, I tried HTC stock ones, Samsung stock ones, my Pioneer Headset, all were giving a very muffled output (I was watching a movie and the dialogues ONLY were muffled, often almost muted, but the background scores were sounding normal, glorious as ever)
When I tried the stock ones, everything was fine. But these are of low-grade make, and hence wanted to use other better-quality ones.
Anyone who has a solution / suggestions?
P.S. - I guess this could be generic issue, with phones from some other manufacturers as well. Any inputs would be welcome.
Most Micromax devices support the earphones with only black or green strips on 3.5mm jack.
Most earphones comes with white or other color stripes on jack that won't support MMX.
Have same problem.
not signal earphone found.

for headphones i am using intex IT-701 and for in ear earphones i am using sony ericsson xperia x8 earphone and both earphoneand headphones are working fine.
I use beats Dr. Dre and they work very good with my canvas hd so I would suggest try it. And I have not used the micromax headphones till now so can't say about its output.
Have fun..

Even the LG phones have better music quality (with same earphones) than A116. you can also compare it with any Sony phone. I have tried it with
with Creative Ep630 → Quality sucks.
with Sound Magic ES18→ Quality sucks.
with stock Micromax earphone → Quality sucks.
Do let me know if you know a good quality earphone that works well with this. so far I have not found any.
Any hardware or software workaround for this problem ?

I was facing the same issue of Muffled sound, I figured that the bad sound was the result of a crappy sound enhancement settings. And I have fixed it by Disabling the settings.
Just goto Settings > User Profiles > Sound enhancement > Disable the BesAudEnh . > Notice the difference in sound Quality
Sorry dude I don't have any idea about best earphones for canvas HD.
But want to try JBL tempo headset which comes with MMX A88
But I think der is no way to improve music quality. I tried awesome beats also but quality little improved.

4.2.1 update made it even better
You can update your phone at micromax service centres. The update is good and it also adds OTA feature so for further updates you dont have to visit one. Coming to the headset issue, I am still facing the problem with samsung and stock headsetsbut it got better on basic sony and panasonic earphones. So try only using earphones ( without the mic).
I figured this out too ... if I use any headphones with mic, the voice is muffled, but the music is there ... but if I use, any headphones without mic, everything is perfect!
Will buy some good IEMs without mic ... am sure they will work just fine!

Nokia BH-503 compatibility with MMX A116
Hey Guys,
I have recently gt my A116 and was disappointed with its sound quality. I was thinking of buying Nokia BH-503 bluetooth stereo headset as I hate wires for my A116. But before doing that I would like to know your take on Nokia BH-503. Does this headset work well with the A116? please let me know if there is any problem with the compatibility. I have read somewhere on this site that the BH-503 works fantastically well with MMX A116.
THanks in advance.

Well i didn't face any such issue in nokia's so i adviced them. If you want to use your dell then revert back to 4.1 or try the custom roms available.
