Having gone through quite a bit of experimentation on this, this is the optimal setup for me...

Sony Ericsson MW600 the three remote buttons all work well, but don't use the heat set provided, go for the...

Klipsch Image S4, very good, comfortable in the ear, though not noise canceling they do cut out a lot of external noise.

Finally PowerAmp, you won't get a better music player for the DHD that accommodates Bluetooth Stereo. Has it's only Equaliser and if you use the headset wired direct to the phone it will also allow you to use the Dolby and SRS effects for your DHD.

Agreed, I originally had a pair of Sennie CX300 II but I snapped the cable when it got caught on a door handle and thus ruined the headphones so I've gone and replaced them with a pair of CX500. Whilst they don't have a remote I think they offer the best sound quality, and best noise cancellation, for the price you pay.
[Desire HD Accessories] gigatech:
Best bed is Jabra bt3030 and sennheiser cx 400II great combo , works great with poweramp app, incl controls etc.

I use mine with Bose MIE 2 headphones. Has a mic and some controls for pausing and forwarding music. Sound quality is amazing too
[Desire HD Accessories] Goodm7sn:
Those only have volume control right ?

would love it if someone points us to a wired headphones with a "working" integrated remote control (vol + - , next/previous track and mic ) good headphones and not overpriced , been looking all over but no use (either doesnt work or dont have ful remote) :(

thx.
[Desire HD Accessories] rayarny:
Using same one mate! Great sound output!
[Desire HD Accessories] shree.cse:
I have Bose mie2i in ear headset. But for me only play pause function is working, the other functions aren't. But with my iPod nano everything was smooth.

Sent from my Desire HD
[Desire HD Accessories] invertedskull:
I started using my DHD as my full time personal music player about 3 months ago. Before that I was using my Cowon S9. Anyone who knows quality sound will know the S9 cannot be topped. So it was a step down for me. However, the DHD could be a lot worse, so I'm not complaining.

[Desire HD Accessories] tranceonline:
Think i will do the same ;)
[Desire HD Accessories] Showtek1980:
If any of you guys have cash ( roughly $150 ) to bust, try the Bose in-ear headphones .. The mic has to be bought separately but a mic extension to the Bose can fix that..

The in-ear tips maybe a bit lose as you move but maybe that's just with me..LOL!

THEN try the SRS and Dolby effects on the DHD.. ;o))
[Desire HD Accessories] Sherloq:
I've just got myself a pair of a-Jays Four (£40) - again volume controls don't work, but mic and play/pause buttons do!

I really like the sound of these and for the price you really can't go wrong! Bare in mind for me this has been a downgrade from a pair of Sure SE210's... which I was a little worried about. But its all good!

On the audio output of the DHD - well I've also gone from using a Cowon i7 to the DHD. As mentioned before the DHD is nowhere near as good as the Cowon sound wise (nor are iPods for that matter) but its not that bad either, you just have to eq properly based on the music your listening to, the headphones you have and how you like to listen to music!
[Desire HD Accessories] webslasher:
so, in the end, there is not any earphone with media control that work with DHD, except the crappy headset that comes with the device ?
[Desire HD Accessories] peste76:
And while the Battery consumption of the DHD is too high for me, i´m using it only as a smartphone. Therefore i have an old iPod 2G 32GB and my old white iPhone 3GS 32 GB which i´m using for MP3 (and the last one also as a backup ph one) :D And let me say, they doing this much better ^^
[Desire HD Accessories] Trig0r:
I use a Jabra Clipper, cheapy from eBay's HK department, probably a knock off but works well..
[Desire HD Accessories] hassanhassan:
I've probably gone through about 5 of the stock headphones in the last few months. The first thing that always stops working is the remote control, I stop being able to answer calls, change the song. That's when I know the mic is also probably knackered.

There are no headphones that does exactly what the stock headphone does but with better build quality? none at all?
[Desire HD Accessories] itzsnookums:
I have the skullcandy 50/50 headphones with remote/Mic...its amazing.....
[Desire HD Accessories] erdinc:
Same here , also got myself a Jabra BT3030 knock off on ebay, the controls works well with my earbuds. I'm also not that impressed about the sound quality of my DHD . I know my question is off topic but can you guys recommend good software to normalize my mp3 so my music has the same volume ?
[Desire HD Accessories] jenizaro:
I decided to buy a Sennheiser OMX 181. Anyone has an idea about it?

Klipsch S4A. http://www.klipsch.com/image-S4A-headphones Best headphone for Android devices for now. It reproducted specially for Android. 99$
[Desire HD Accessories] sulz1:
uh nice, I will give it a try.
[Desire HD Accessories] kaleavi:
Glad that you asked this question :) !!

I have been using Creative EP-630 for the last 4-5 months continuously and found its bass and sound quality better than most of the other expensive in-ear phones out there. Another very important aspect of this earphone for me is its comfortability, it is so comfortable that i dont even feel like its in my ear, (i have to check from time to time just to make myself sure that i have them in my ear and my ear are not just hearing music out of no where:D). Seriously, i love it and its relatively cheaper than other earphones but unfortunately it has not got remote:(.

Have a quick look in here:

http://www.google.co.uk/products/ca...a=X&ei=wruyTsL8NYr68QPfrYiBBQ&ved=0CFgQ8wIwAQhttp://www.reviewcentre.com/info-107831.html

About DHD's audio output, we have so many roms with our famous Lyapota's fix of SRS, Dolby and BEATS audio for sense 3 and 3.5 roms that i have no place where i could pin point the fault in DHD's audio output through headphones now!! I am very satisfied with my DHD and i listen to tracks (Avril's tracks most of the time:D) for about 10 hours a day regularly during my travel as well as leisure time and i still want'em songs flowing into my ear..:cool:

I hope no one gets bored reading my long post, just had to post it or i would have my heart explode eheh!! Thanks for asking this question and thanks for going through my WHOLE post:)!! Xda rules..
[Desire HD Accessories] Fr33man_:

stay away from skullcandy ink'd earphones. they broke on me in less than 3 months.
[Desire HD Accessories] DexterMorganNL:
First I just kept calling HTC and they would send me a new headset whenever my headset broke, so I had about 3 replacements and last time when I called the guy told me they only give 9 months warranty on the accessory so they didnt wanna send me a new one anymore.

So now I ordered 2 pair off cheap headsets from for 1,79 pound each

http://www.ebay.nl/itm/110761486312?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649

And because I think wired headset break because off carrying the phone in a jeans pocket which will cause damage to the connector plug and break it there in the end. So I think its better to put the DHD in a pocket off my coat and the upper body stay's straight where the middle body will move and that's what I think is causing them to break.

With a broken remote I can live.
[Desire HD Accessories] rockztahh:
how about this one?

http://www.jays.se/products/earphones/a-jays-one-plus.html

it officially supports android and HTC
[Desire HD Accessories] exec228:
creative ep-630i, the only headphones i found with excellent sound.

however, my experience is tiny and i haven't checked other brands.

the problem with ep-630i is that they wear-out quickly, just in 3-5 months.
[Desire HD Accessories] Never_OutGunned:
I don't know why people say the DHD has bad sound. Maybe cause they don't use it right. First of all turn on SRS from the player. Then take off the silly cottony thingy on the headphones (originals I mean) then apply some pressure on them when You put them in your ear. Or just press them from time to time so they fit closely... I haven't heard more full bass in quite a while. Creative headphones are the best alternative.
[Desire HD Accessories] strauts:
No way! My DHD have the best audio output I ewer had! Everyone who had listened music on my phone asks "are there a subwoofer in your headphones?"
[Desire HD Accessories] HC4Life:
How about Beats by Dr. Dre:

http://www.beatsbydre.com/

Anyone know where i can find a cheap ones cause they are very expansive.

Thx ;)
[Desire HD Accessories] evred:
got some denon ed90's, worth checking out imo:-)
[Desire HD Accessories] AudioMaster13:
I have the Ultimate Ears 700's. They are a bit pricy but they are well worth it. Very small, start in your ear well. The can be worn over the ear as well. When the SRS wow is enabled, their awesome. I wear them while biking all the time
[Desire HD Accessories] dh.harald:
i use sennheiser mm50

Glad to have found this thread :p

Thanks for this, I will definitely check this out. :D
[Desire HD Accessories] tsx080:
i got a set of the beats by dr dre headphones from a htc sensation. it has the 3 button remote with mic, it functions just as the standard headphones do but with much much better sound quality and volume. no more distortion, dont need to setup custom eq settings for every song now to stop the distortion
[Desire HD Accessories] dicko1975:
Yep, if want a fully functioning remote and decent sound, gotta be HTC beats from Dre.

Personally, I'm not bothered about the remote, so I run a set of BeyerDynamic DTX 101ie and for me, they beat the pants off beats. Much more accurate reproduction, full bass, and no need to run any equalizers, dolby or SRS.
[Desire HD Accessories] Scr!pt0:
I actually don't know the brand, but HTC is produding some smartphones, which are shipped with very good headphones, e.g. the sensation xl.

why dont you buy those headphones through ebay? :)

regards.
[Desire HD Accessories] tsx080:
those were the ones i got. the htc beats by dr dre
[Desire HD Accessories] ericute:
Can you post a link as to where you bought them? Thanks! :D
[Desire HD Accessories] CrocMonsieur:
Do yourself a favor and get some Klipsch either x10i (volume buttons don t work on android but play pause skip back accessible via multiple press) or image4 specifically branded an android model. Best mix of sound+comfort with controls I know about.

I don t work for them!
[Desire HD Accessories] tsx080:
i got them from ebay, just do a search for htc beats. i got them from a seller called e-cell for 29.95, they arrived 2 days after ordering them they were brand new and they were cheaper than some were getting via auction
[Desire HD Accessories] ericute:
Thanks mate!
[Desire HD Accessories] olyloh6696:
Beats tour! I'm getting a pair. ;)
[Desire HD Accessories] Aamir.Badat:
A link would be great for the beats
[Desire HD Accessories] trh1341:
Be careful!!!! People make replications with horrible sound quality...if you are buying from anywhere other than actual stores...the ask for the serial number and go to beatsbydre.com and enter that serial number at that site to make sure they are for real
[Desire HD Accessories] Aamir.Badat:
Any beats that are 30 quid are bound to be fake I know a website where they sell tours solo studio all types of replica beats at cheap price lol
[Desire HD Accessories] spinrite:
IP-ES2 iMetal earphones have a inline mic and also great sounding qualities.
[Desire HD Accessories] olyloh6696:
Really? I found a website for £39.99 beats tour - so are they not genuine?!
[Desire HD Accessories] Aamir.Badat:
Depends which store if its eBay or anything similar then probably fake
[Desire HD Accessories] olyloh6696:
Nope , nothing similar to eBay :)

I'll post the link later
[Desire HD Accessories] WingZer0n:
U all should try Scoche in ears...fantastic sound and bass!
[Desire HD Accessories] olyloh6696:
How much?
[Desire HD Accessories] WingZer0n:
Not sure how much it cost in the UK but here in Singapore it retails around USD$89

http://www.scosche.com/consumer-tech/product/1722

The mic and start stop music works...but vol control and next/prev songs don't work on Android. But sound quality beats more expensive in ear buds.
[Desire HD Accessories] acamarin:
They look nice, but system for skipping and backing up songs is ridiculous, 3 times for back, why didnt they put just 2 more buttons... :D

It makes me mad to see that many iphone/ipod 3rd party earphones and so few for android, factually more popular platform.

I had sony ericsson and nokia before DHD and they both had remote with both skip/back buttons, and more importantly for me, vol up/down, which i dont have on stock ones, so i dont hope 3rd party will have it either? Cant anyone confirm difrent ones, and which? How about those beats by dre shipped with sensation, can they use vol buttons?
[Desire HD Accessories] stekel01:
you guys should buy shure se215 ears, these earphones are having a click system so you can replace the cable for one with a remote on it.
[Desire HD Accessories] minahasa:
Making this also, but adding a female jack, so changing headphones will be easier
[Desire HD Accessories] hassanhassan:
I can't believe that there is still no actual alternative to the HTC headset that has the exact same features but have a better build. Everything else either has non working volume control, or just a single click. Which doesnt work for me.

The way I usually use the headset is obviously the middle button to answer calls, play/pause. Forward and rewind buttons as normal. Then I use headset button controller app to make long press the middle button for volume control, double click middle button for voice control. Triple click for call last caller.

/coolstorybro
[Desire HD Accessories] minahasa:
I suppose this is good in a sense..

HTC did not push much on accessories line, meaning that we did not have to be afraid of being pushed into buying 'proprietary stuff.. not like when we use a*ple gagets :D
[Desire HD Accessories] HanZie82:
I had that idea to, but later i thought it would get to bulky.

So i just soldered my Senheiser CX300II's in it. Works like a charm and really high quality audio.

DHD has good audio output on the headphone jack, just get the right software to make it sound good.

Only downside for me is the cable is not long enough.

People complaining about bad sound quality should compare it to other phones and/or get good software. Poweramp has really clear audio if set up right (there might be others but i have not tested).

Here be my D.I.Y. headphone with WORKING remote.

ps. the soldering inside the remote has been done really bad tho, had some almost loose wires in there. Had to redo 3 of the 5 wires (altho 2 are on the same connection).
[Desire HD Accessories] HC4Life:
I bought an OEM HTC SENSATION XE BEATS AUDIO IN-EAR EARPHONE in ebay and i'm very satisfied. They work great in RCMix3d 4.0 Rom.

Just bought a set of Jays a-Jays One+, app for the android to set up the button on the headphones to what you want it to do, apparently the app works to program most buttons for other headphones.

If i don't like them i'll be getting a set of Klipsch S4A.

bought myself a pair of beats for htc phones, first i thought they were fake, but when they arrived i was actually blown away O_O they are original, aluminium housing of phones, really good sound quality for 40 bucks plus they have even a remote and mic ;) and they look badass :D here is the link:

This is what I've though about doing. I don't want to have to cut the wire on my expensive earphones and it's easier if I ever need to change.
[Desire HD Accessories] acamarin:
Thanks for this one, 40$ sounds lot better than a 75 pounds. Gonna break the piggy bank to order it. Can you please confirm that skip/back & play/pause buttons work?
[Desire HD Accessories] PDub11:
Had my Jays a-Jays One+ turn up yesterday.

Nice looking packaging but utterly useless, its too big to use as a carry case and too awkward to get into the thing.

Loads of different size buds which is nice.

Anti tangle wiring is very good but does have a downside, its heavier and you can feel this on the right ear where the remote is, feels like its not quite in properly regardless off the bud size. The cable does also transmit some funny noise through it when it hits or rubs on your clothing.

Remote works prefectly, easily tunable with the the Jays app in the app store, which can be used for other headphones.

Sound wise its very good, better than my old cheap Sennheiser CX-300's imo, im no audiophile but they do sound very good, very full sound and not too bassy.

I think i will end up gettin the Klipsch S4A's at some point tho but for £20 i paid for them from Amazon im very happy.
[Desire HD Accessories] bruno_123:
works like a charm ;)

Etymotic Research HF3

I am currently using the

Etymotic Research HF2

and I would like to recommend it to someone looking for quality in-earphone with mic for their Android.

It sounded amazing and the

mic works

well. I bought it for about 60+ pounds online (was on sale). I'm not an audiophile but i can tell that this headset does not have excess bass which you may find in most earphone like sony & beats. It tends to produce a more

realistic/nature sound

. Anyone looking for a "fun" earphone for the club music should think about it. Another point is that the earphone have a unique ear bud, its like a cone shape. This mean that it dig deeper into the ear than normal ear bud which can be a bit irritating for some. however, in doing so, it has a very

good noise isolation

. This can be a bit dangerous when walking/commuting. I tend to leave one side loosen just in case.

I feel quiet comfy wearing it. long period usage seem okay too. Build quality is good and so is the brand. the headset also comes with a small carrying pouch which looks decent enough and as well as 3 other different ear bud in case you dislike them. and also tool to replace a filter in the earphone. I tried all the ear bud and all were good wiht the default looking the best.

As for the mic control, it has 1 button. Yes, only 1. :rolleyes: Out of the box, start/pause and call/hang up work fine. however, no forwarding song. I found some app Klipsch & JAYS earphone which enable double click and triple clicks. this enable double clicks for forwarding songs and backwarding too. It doesnt work as flawless as HTC headset though. So far its works with HF2 and I'm having a preference for JAYS app as i find its response better than Klipsch ones.
[Desire HD Accessories] paul c:
Must say, they look very nice, and I like the idea of natural sound too :) - I pulled this image off Amazon - there are 3 buttons there..?

I actually prefer those cones, I use them on some Shure in-ear headphones when mountainbiking (need good isolation from wind-noise on the downhill stretches). Indeed, the downside is that the isolation from outside noise is almost total, not good when on the street!
[Desire HD Accessories] riteshbendre:
can you provide me a pic of the circuit inside the play, pause, skip buttons... need to see how you soldered the SE earphones on the circuit.
[Desire HD Accessories] Dan_L:
Thanks for the post. I made a mistake on the product name, mine is the HF2. The HF3 has the 3 button but they are design for apple products iphones/ipods. those 2 extra button may likely be useless (I remembered reading somewhere that the are incompatible). HF2 state that it support other handset like blackberry and stuff.

I did some research on Etymotic HF series and they are rated quite high in the audiophile forum. higher than the shure I think. anyhow, i worked out that it was value for money ;). There is also a chance to order a custom ear bud that specifically for your ear. that would be more isolation and comfort.
[Xperia Arc General] mtechfan:
As some of you are like me and find the auto brightness flicker annoying. :mad:

I did notice if you manually set the brightness level (display settings) the flicker stops, sadly the built in widget is really lacking in control. :rolleyes:

I used this widget on my X10 and tried it on my Arc, it works brilliantly! :cool:

http://curvefish.com/widgets/brightness-level.htm

Hope you find it useful as I do.

(What it looks like, from curvefish website)

I run mine at 75% all the time unless I am checking stuff just before bed, then I turn it all the way down. Battery life is very good using this widget.
[Xperia Arc General] Mano1982:
Extended Control can do job also ;) Thanks mtechfan for a useful thread
[Xperia Arc General] mtechfan:
Yep, extended controls work as well. Never bothered trying it as it wasn't free here in Sweden, but it is not that expensive either :-)

They sure look nice though.
[Xperia Arc General] Step666:
The Widgetsoid brightness control also seems to override the automated system.

edit: scratch this, the automatic brightness seems to have come back again...

Also, if you set it to LED flash control to 'method 2' in the global preferences, it works as a flashlight/torch.
