Can anyone here suggest a reasonably priced (i'm thinking no more than $35, otherwise I'd pay the $99 for Beats) replacement earbud style headphones for the Rezound that has the Foward (fwd) and Reverse (rev) functionality as distinct fwd/rev buttons (not click three times to foward or four times for rewind types that only have one button on them). Having great audio quality isn't that important to me (I've used free ones that sounded just fine to me, as I'm not an audiophile at all), and other features like volume up and down aren't important either.
I loved the Beats headphone that came with it but they got stolen. I loved being able to fast-forward and reverse tracks without having to wake the screen up. In general I haven't had luck with the kinds that have one single button and you hit it a certain number of times or have to long-press the single button.
I tried a pair of Samsung OEM ones that I THINK came with the Galaxy S3, and they seemed to work just fine for fwd/rev. When I'm looking at ones on eBay or Amazon its difficult to tell if they are really the ones I want for that particular feature.

RadioShack has these headphones on clearance for $80 and through June 3rd you can take an additional 50% off that, bringing the price down to $40. I bought these a few months ago and love them. They dont have as much control as the Motorola HS820's (only one action buttion instead of a separate music and telephone one), but the range is amazing. I get a full 300ft, not 30, with my 8125. The HS820's are on clearance for $80 too, but you only get to take off an extra 30%. making them about $56.
For those who have ipods, theres also a device called the naviplay that adds A2DP to the ipod for about $25 after discounts. I picked one of those up today. These are brick and mortar deals, not through the website.
Got a pair
Saw your post, called the local stores. Second store I called had one pair. Charging now...thanks
Great Find!
Do they suffer from the hiss and pop problem that some other headphones have?
I never noticed any popping. I think they sound pretty damn good. There is also a coupon for $10 off a $30+ purchase. Something they're doing for fathers day. Technically not supposed to be combinable with clearance stuff, but you may be able to do it. They usually keep extras in the store. You could go up to a clerk and say you forgot your coupon at home and ask if they'll give you another one or just ring you up with it. That'd bring the total for the headphones down to $30.
I just got em and tested them really quik, there is no hiss or pops that I notice and I have made no changes to the BT stereo settings on my phone! GREAT FIND!
Still Smoking
Cheers everyone,
Thanks for the great advice on the Spider headphones for 40 bucks. I went right out and got myself a pair. For that price, how could you go wrong. Plus, it is at radioshack, so no problems with returns.
I have been researching bluetooth headsets for some time and did see that these were smaller than some of the other headsets. I have worn them for hours at a time and find them very light and comfortable for long time listening.
I did see where some people were having battery charging problems right out of the box, so I was ready for that. I returned 2 pair before getting it all right on the 3rd one. It did not take long to figure out that the battery was having problems. The guy at the store just gave me another one without any hassles or questions.
I have been using the stereo headset that came with my cingualr 8125 for about 8 months and was very tired of the wired headest. I was reading about all of you guys partying with your cordless bluetooth stereo headset and was just waiting for the right time to make the move. I was hearing that some people were having all sorts of problems including gaps in the music.
It was the right time for me, as the new Bluetooth stuff all seems to work almost perfectly. By the Way, I do LOVE my 8125!!! I have watched all of the ROM stuff for months, and finally made the change to a Windows Mobile 6 ROM with the help from all of you cool *****ing Dudes (sorry, I am a California Santa Cruz Surfer) That is just my way of saying thanks!!!
All of the controll functions seem to work on the stereo headset. Once again I have a WM6 ROM with all of the fixes to the bluetooth stuff... I can controll music functions, answer the phone and have the music pause, and then resume after the call without problems.
Once again thanks to everyone that makes this internet site possible. These 8125's are so COOL and have so many possibilities! My next adventure with this phone will be with GPS.
Keep on Chill'in and Grill'in
just happen to stop by my local att store to see if they had anything i could use. well to my surprise when i asked about headphones the guy went to a shelf and pulled out some OEM style phones for the old tilt and fuze. great thing is they are only 5 bucks plus tax. not bad if i do say so. no hong kong orders for me this week. now if someone finally get a decent silicon case out i will be set. hit your local stores to grab a set while they are still in stock
Nice find...
I actually don't use my phone for music. I live on my iPod...
Thanks for the insight though!
I'm actually still looking for a nice silicon case for my Tilt 2...I just need a solid black case for the back of the phone...
I'll keep an eye out!
I happened to be looking for a pair of headphones this weekend also and found what is probably the same pair at the AT&T store. It was originally for the Tilt and Fuze, and was listed for $30. I walked in and got it for $15 since they are trying to clear out old stock. Not as good as the $5 above, but still happy for something I could not find anywhere else. It has the microUSB connector and a speaker for calls as well.
It finally gave me the chance to use the audio booster option on my phone. I really love the sound now with the equalizer enabled. I was just used to hearing the music but didn't realize how much I was missing until I could adjust those settings. I use my phone for calls, work and music and this made me very happy.

Do these work for the fm feature
Att has the FM software included. Does it require special headsets or will any of these headsets work as the FM antenna.
should be any. as long as it senses there is something connected, it will work.
Checked out the general section and there are a ton of headphone threads, but I'm looking for something a little different than most of the guys are talking about there. Recommendations on those threads tend to come down to either larger headsets, or in the ear noice-cancelling buds.
What I'm looking for is basically something like the OEM iphone ones for the iphone that will work with the SGS2. I'd prefer an over the ear set, but can deal with simple earbuds as long as they aren't the noise canceling types; can't stand trying to talk on the phone with my ears clogged up! I actually made a pair a few years ago that were just what I wanted; took an extra iphone headset, disassembled the earbuds, and transplanted the mic/cord combo over to a nice set of over the ear headphones that I had. Had to break out the micro tip for my soldering iron, but they looked and worked great. Something like that is what I'm looking for.
So my requirements are:
Non-noise cancelling headset (on top of not wanting to sound muffled to myself when on the phone, I want to use these for walking/biking, and don't want to completely isolate all sound.
Inline mic with call answer switch.
Basic music controls if at all possible.
Decent quality at a minimum. I don't have to have top of the line headphones, but want something better than a $10 pair that you can buy at Wal Mart.
Ordered some inexpensive ones on Amazon that stated that they are OEM HTC Evo 4G phones; got them today, the controls won't work at all and one of the earpieces kept cutting out when I moved the cord at the plug. Beware of them. Found these on Amazon http://www.amazon.com/Jabra-Active-Corded-Earset-Retail-Packaging-Black/dp/B0049SKIDI/ref=sr_1_143?ie=UTF8&qid=1328652715&sr=8-143. They seem to be just about what I'm looking for, and one reviewer states that they tried them out on several Androids and found them to work. Before I ordered them, I thought I'd get some opinions here if anyone is familiar with something along the lines of what I'm looking for.
Im not sure what exactly your price range caps out on, but for 130 bucks, you can get a pair of Bose MIE2i Headphones. They have an inline mice and music controls, certified for ipod/iphone control, but they work fine on my galaxy s 2. They've Lasted way longer than my beats. Got em november 2011, and they still work fine to this day.They have a good stay in ear design, and they dont look half bad.

A bit more than what I was looking at spending, since I really won't use them all that much, but they look promising. "Got em in november 2011, and they still work fine to this day".... hell, I would hope that they would last more than 3 months, LOL. Thanks for the heads up, though. Gonna consider them.
I know Skullcandy hesh have a decent mic with very basic controls but they're bulky. I have their GI and 50/50 right now. I like the GI but they're $80 and too bulky for a headset. Great headphones though.

Hahaha i say that because im terrible with headphones. Every skull candy headset ive owned lasted about 4 weeks on average. My beats solo? 2 weeks before the in line mic gave in, and a few days later one side died on me.

samsung has a pair of headphones...look into them last i checked they were 20 bucks.. good quality they have mic and answer button..
. they came wih the original sgs and the gtab and skyrocket....
Can anyone here suggest a reasonably priced (i'm thinking no more than $35, otherwise I'd pay the $99 for Beats) replacement earbud style headphones for the Rezound that has the Foward (fwd) and Reverse (rev) functionality as distinct fwd/rev buttons (not click three times to foward or four times for rewind types that only have one button on them).

It's funny cuz the beats got stolen.
Monster headphones are they are the ones who made beat,they usually cost around 99,ebay sometimes have deals,also they have gold plated connectors.
Sent from Rezound
cant believe you liked the beats headphones........i sold mine on ebay the day i got the phone.
Its the music controls I liked.
Its not that I thought they were some awesome headphones, its that they had music controls. I listen to my phone 2 hours a day on the train, and skipping forward and back on audio tracks without having to wake the phone was a really nice feature. I just hoped someone could suggest a replacement that had similar music controls. I haven't found replacements (other than replacement Beats) at any price that had the fwd and rev buttons. I found some that have a single button that can long press or multiple press for similar functionality, but I really haven't like any like that.

You can get the same beats on eBay for your price range. All my headphones are skull candy. They have volume controls, not sure if some models have player controls as well.
Sent from my HTC Rezound.
Never had beats,base on friends and online reviews they are gimmick. I have skull candy most headsets have one button.

Was sorting out my huge bag of cables/chargers/headphones/etc... (we all have one of those) and I found some old (nos) headphones that I had purchased a long time ago for my HTC HD2, gave em a try and not only did they sound pretty darn good, but the controls worked perfectly, volume up, down, play, pause, double press to skip, triple press to go back and long press for google. Maybe many of you already knew this, I had tried before with iPhone headphones and he volume wasn't working so this a great discovery for me, in case you wanna know the model, you could probably get them from ebay for nothing.

I buy the HTC RC-e160 from MercadoLibre ('cause I'm from Argentina) and have an amazing sound (the bass makes me feel like heaven). Amazing sound, great controls, excelent microphone for callings/Whatsapp/Telegram, amazing sound and.... AMAZING SOUND!
I believe that the models from I found on e-Bay and ML.ar are the same, this is one of the best buys that i made this year, so THANK YOU @hudtwalcker for your amazing discovery
