anyone using a-Jay's Four or NuForce NE-7m/NE-700m?

These headphones are said to be the best for around 50€ / 45£

They have a mic and iPhone remote and outstanding audio performence for the price.

Any experience with the Samsung Galaxy SII and Sennheiser with remote control like the MM 70i model?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] wuhrz:
I'm glad that I'm not the only one interested in the compatibility of the SGS2 with Sennheiser MM 70i.

Would be great if someone knew something about that.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Johnny11:
I've got NuForce NE-7m and am waiting for my SGSII to arrive. The headphones only have a single button so I expect it to work for pause/rewind/fast forward as it did on my Nexus One.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Pliind:
Don't count on it, iphone controls will only work with iphone :/ like to hear that i'm wrong but i doubt it :/

Only way to get double-tab btw is to root your phone, the mod's included in VillainTweaks :D
[Galaxy S II Accessories] vatualmon:
Here someone says that the Sennheiser MM 70i is working with our Samsung Galaxy S2, but seems that the sound is not good enough...

is there any original samsung earphone with play,rewind,fastforward button with mic?

My Nokia bh-214 bluetooth dont work. They are not even recognized.

My Nokia hs-102/wh-700 the controls dont work andy the sound is awful.

All this regardless of winamp, poweramp or standard player.

No good.

[Galaxy S II Accessories] thomasmarkus:
i have that combination..

volume up/down does not work.

the pause/skip/previous track functions work.

sound quality is .. hmm.. but that's not the fault of the 70i i guess, it's the sgs..

Headset button controller app works a charm with my iphone4 headphones. The volume buttons don’t work but the play/pause button works. With the headset button controller app you can set holding the button down to control the volume, double click skip track, triple click previous track and single click default. All the functions i need :)
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Johnny11:
They're not made for the iphone, they're made for pretty much any mobile phone. With my Nexus I found it was dependent on the music player I using. Either way my SGSII is supposed to arrive tomorrow morning so we'll know soon enough.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Pliind:
I work in a shop and those that have bought the ajays for example that are iphone certified, did not work fully, only play and pause even though I told the costumer that only those extra buttons for volume and next/prev would not work.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Johnny11:
:confused:

I think you misunderstood me. I'm not talking about the a-Jay's Four, I'm talking about the NuForce NE-7m. These only have a single button. See attached pic :D

That said there are 3 button headphones that work, the HTC RC E160 for example.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Johnny11:
I can confirm the NE-7m works with the SGS II. That is the pause/play and FF work... I'm having some trouble getting back to work :mad:
[Galaxy S II Accessories] yus786:
I had some bad experiences with the a-jay fours i had, they didnt fit in my ears properly no matter which silicon insert i used

plus after a day the sound started crackling if i moved the wire around

I bought some scosch idr-655m earphones and they are the dogs b0llox, got them for £30 delivered off an ebay US seller

check out reviews for them theyre top notch and usually sell for £60 in the UK

£30 is a steal, they came in 7 days after i ordered

bargain
[Galaxy S II Accessories] attig:
Hi everyone... so from the thread I gather that iphone compatible headsets do work, but only with call/play/pause button. Volume buttons don't work.

Is this correct? Has anyone found a headset that has both the call/play/pause "and" volume buttons to work with SGS2? Even if not-iphone compatible...
[Galaxy S II Accessories] phantasia:
Greetings,

I'm using the Smart Talk from Griffin with my Sennheiser in-hear headphones and works great!

Single click for pause/play, double click/long press (depending on poweramp settings.) for next track.

Also includes microphone. :)
[Galaxy S II Accessories] vatualmon:
Witch model of Sennheiser are you using?

What about sound quality?

It's really better than the original Samsung headphones?

Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] phantasia:
Hey,

Model - CX400II

Sound quality is exactly the same as having them connected to the computer or to my old Nokia E63.

Light-Years better than the Samsung headphones that came with the GSII.

Rgds.

I just picked up a pair of s4i's, unfortunately the volume buttons do not work on the SG2 but the play/skip buttons do. The quality on these earphones are awesome though! The FM radio works as well which is awesome,

[Galaxy S II Accessories] ViggenZ:
Hmm, in this SG2 accessory review, they describe headset which doesnt exactly look like an original Samsung one. I dont see any branding, but whats more intereting there's 3 button inline remote. Is anyone recognizing this headset?

[Galaxy S II Accessories] kevuin:
they do appear under Samsung's accessories as EHS-71 officially for 99,90€, not 35€ like the review stated

http://www.samsung.de/de/Privatkund...n/EHS71AVNSECSTD/accdetail.aspx?atab=features

their page also says that it's not supported by the SGS2 though ?!

Has anyone tried these headphones? Even though its says on the page that they are not compatible with SGS2 other websites claims that they do (eg amazon.co.uk)?

This work for my GSII Philips SHE8005

There 's a volume control, Mic

http://www.philips.co.uk/c/headphones/she8005_10/prd/
[Galaxy S II Accessories] wuhrz:
and the volume control works?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] rickgillyon:
It's a physical volume slider, of course it works. It doesn't change volume on the device though.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] metalican:
So do you mean that the volume slider does not change the volume og what? I am bit confused by your contradictory statements.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] rickgillyon:
The statements are not contradictory, please pay attention... ;)

It's a physical volume control, a slider rheostat inline, so set your phone on full volume and control the volume that reaches your ears via this slider. But the phone's volume will stay on full - the slider doesn't send commands to the phone, just changes the volume on the cord between phone and ear.

Note that this refers to the Phillips ones, not the EHS-71.

Ok, sorry about that.

That sound cool. What's your experience with them? Are the sound good, the bass etc?

---------- Post added at 10:54 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:52 AM ----------

When you have the time to test them can you please tell us how they work? Thanks
[Galaxy S II Accessories] rickgillyon:
Don't have them, just can tell the type of volume control by looking at them. I gave up on volume control with quality headphones... :(
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Alpha Trion:
I have the Sennheiser CX 680's which work well but are slightly more biased towards bass. No mic or controls but volumne slider works the same as metalican described:

But the phone's volume will stay on full - the slider doesn't send commands to the phone, just changes the volume on the cord between phone and ear.

Mic & controls can be found on the CX 680i's version though I haven't used these so can't say they're work on our SGSII.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] rickgillyon:
Pretty much all of these are the same - play/pause works, volume doesn't.

Yeah, same for most, I've tried Denon and Beats, plus a few others, all the same...

For me it's ok that only play/pause answer/hangup works. Because with Headset droid app you can skip/turn vol up/down etc. I just need to know that the mic works as well.

[Galaxy S II Accessories] bhagiratha:
I got the headphones last night and I must say it is very good. Quality is on par with a Sony product.

Sound quality is excellent when I used it with my SGS2 using an audio program called NRG Player and Equalizer. See links below:

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.mrgreensoft.nrg.player

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.smartandroidapps.equalizer&feature=search_result

The controls work without any issues. There is one button with controls talk, play and pause, and when you double click, it will forward to the next sound.

The volume control I set up to MAX and just use the controls on the phone since I am always handing it and like to adjust the volume from the phone.

Voice calls are very clear.

It comes with 4 extra set of ear tips and once I found the right size to fit my ears, sound isolation was excellent.

Also in the box is a clip and a nice hard case to keep the headphones.

Over all, I am more than happy with this purchase. It does what I need in a great quality headphones. It's Android ready and that is a big plus!
[Galaxy S II Accessories] mustafa.millwala:
Me using Sennheiser's MM70ip, & play/pause works, volume doesn't.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] metalican:
Philips SHE8005

Finally got my hands on the SHE8005 headphones. Here is a short review:

The sound is quite good: the bass is deep and the sound is quite clear. I have been using a pair of mid-range Sony headphones and these are as good.

There is only one button which actives play/pause or call/hang up. By using Droid Headset app I can skip songs, control volume etc. Another nice thing is the volume control which as stated before changes the volume of the through-put but not on the phone. This is a nice feature which enables you to quickly and easily change the volume (I use this a lot since on my phone the volume of a call is often lower than the music).

And the best part is that the price is not that high. In DK I got them for about €35.

---------- Post added at 09:18 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:15 AM ----------

Thanks for the review. One question: the double click is that a feature of the headset or is a feature of the NRG app?

Unfortunately the headset is not available in Europe yet...
[Galaxy S II Accessories] bhagiratha:
It is a feature of the headset.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] RUKI:
I think the double click to forward the music is a feature of almost android phone already it can use even the original headset that come with GSII.

But with some apps can give you more feature like fast forward-backward, next track - previous track, volume control ,all of this with one button !

e.g.: Headset Button Control

[Galaxy S II Accessories] wayne7511:
I just tried my friend's iphone headset on my S2 today, the mic works perfectly, will try the volume tmr when I have time, I'm assuming that all headsets that made for iphone should work for the s2 with all its functions? as I read somewhere that samsung changed the s2 headset to iphone standards. Please correct me if I'm wrong
[Galaxy S II Accessories] rickgillyon:
You could try reading this thread? Just an idea... :rolleyes:
[Galaxy S II Accessories] ikeny:
No, the volume up/down buttons don't work. Only the center, pause/play button, works. You can install the Headset Button Control app to use the single button to control volume.

FYI, volume control works by holding the button. It resets the volume to low (10, 20%), then increases until you let go of the button.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] wayne7511:
OK, so am I getting this right? the process of getting a headset that fully functional for GS2 atm is more like a trial & error?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] offwiththeface:
Yup for some reason the volume up volume down on alotof the mobile headphones are not functional. Something to do with android I tried everything and no luck. I'm just waiting on the klipsch s4A's about time we got some love!!
[Galaxy S II Accessories] wayne7511:
Got the Klipsch S4i today, I'm extremely happy with the sound and mic quality, yet the volume control doesn't work....but with Headset Button Controller app, I can set the middle button which actually works to do the job.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] bearzila:
Thanks mate, the app works great!
[Galaxy S II Accessories] rickgillyon:
Not sure on the s4a, the pictures make it look like a 1-button headset with an app similar to ones that make my current one usable. So long as it has separate volume buttons configurable via the app it will be good, but I'm not buying if it only has 1 button...
[Galaxy S II Accessories] cowbutt:
The inline remote of the HTC RC E160 headphones that came with my HTC Hero works perfectly with the SGS2. I bought another pair from an Amazon Marketplace seller, cut off the earphones above the remote, and soldered on a 3.5mm stereo line socket so I can use any headphones I like with full mic/remote functionality.

Now, if only Samsung (or a third party) would make a clone of the hacked cable I just made...
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Charmed :):
Hi! Can you make a tutorial of some kind or picture of what you did with altering HTC headphones? Thnx! :)
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Robafet:
can anyone confirm that the Griffin Smart control for iphone or ipod will work with the galaxy 2? Not just the sound, but the multi press single button control?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] cowbutt:
There's not much to it, really. I can't really make a precise tutorial, as it will depend on the exact model of 3.5mm stereo line socket you use. I'd also prefer to refer to some external links, but I can't yet as I'm still a new member on XDA. :(

Essentially:

1) label one of the earpiece cables between the inline remote and the earpiece, so you know which one is for the right channel, and which is for the left.

2) cut off the earpieces at least about 10cm from the earpiece side of the inline remote. I did it a little shorter, and it made things trickier than they needed to be as there wasn't much slack for the plastic cover whilst I was soldering the conductors. If I'd needed to start again, I wouldn't have had enough slack.

3) Use the datasheet or a multimeter to map the solder points of your 3.5mm stereo line socket. I used Maplin part RK51F, and I think the solder points for the left and right signals were the mirror of those for a 3.5mm stereo line plug (search for 3.5mm stereo plug pinout leadsdirect).

4) Strip about 1.5cm insulation from the cut end of the lead using a sharp knife. Separate the shield conductors from the lacquered (blue and red, on my headphones) signal conductors. I've just made myself a new lead, and this time, after removing the outer (black) insulation, I thought I'd try using a cotton pad soaked with liquid nail varnish remover to try removing the lacquer in order to aid making a good solder joint. What I actually found was that, after firmly stroking the pad several times towards the cut end, the lacquered conductors actually have very thin translucent insulation which I think the nail varnish remover softened sufficiently that I could just stretch it somewhat until a few millimeters snapped off, leaving the bare lacquered conductors underneath. I cleaned these a bit with nail varnish remover too, but the coloured lacquer didn't seem to fade. After doing so, they did take tinning quite easily (be careful to be quick so as not to melt the translucent insulation, however!). Thread the plastic cover onto the slack between the remote and the ends of the cable, crimp the strain relief, and solder appropriately (I actually soldered the left and right signal leads first, then crimped the strain relief, then soldered the shield).

5) Optionally, solder a 3.5mm stereo plug onto the earpieces you cut off in step 2, so you can use them as fallback earpieces with this lead.

6) Use a multimeter to check for continuity and spurious shorts.

7) Test!

Really, if you can solder and strip headphone cable, and use a multimeter, you can do this fairly easily. The only complication is the lacquered conductors in modern thin headphone cables.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Elemetrix:
^ Here's one I made earlier:

Ideally would have liked a smaller light socket but it's all I had! Works well though. My next idea is to make a proper interface so it could be controlled from a custom dock.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] deadbeat44:
Yeah. Them klipsch s4a is simply amazing.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Robafet:
I can confirm that the Griffin smart talk for Ipod/Iphone works fully with the galaxy s2, only a 1 button adaptor that you can plug any headphones into, but works like a charm, using the single button I can use multipress to skip tracks, pause, play, answer/end calls. Also mic works well. Also it's a braded cable so top notch quality. Very impressed with mine.

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darinmc:
If you rooted with gfree, go back to the thread that guided you. It has instructions on how to unroot. Basically you want to place part7backupxxxxxx.zip on the root of your SD, download PD15IMG.zip, place on root of SD, then load bootloader and let it do it's thing, responding when prompted. If you can't mount the card you're going to have to find a way to mount it outside of the phone, either with an adapter or a card reader.
