Headphones with microphones, your buying advise.

I need to but 25 pairs of headphones with a microphone attached for a school music room.
The budget is £20 a headset, and they will be using them for garageband, I know £20 doesn't buy the best but there must be something good for that price.
I would like to hear other users advice and recommendations. on things to look out for and any good products.
I would prefer to have a 3mm jack, instead of having a converter from big to small, as they get damaged quite easily.
many thanks in advance

Are these headphones & microphones for G5 iMacs? Your post does not make this clear.
If not, then you will do much better re-posting over in one of the GarageBand Forums and/or cross post in the Forum(s) of whichever mac model(s) you have in your music room.
PS Have you checked out the online & your local Apple Store? You need to check out the Teachers Discount (Education).

TS2634 My iphone headphones with microphone don't work. Any suggestions?

My iphone headphones with microphone have stopped working, and they are under warranty. I am having difficulty getting an answer about what to do from Apple - just got off the phone with them, and they emailed me an article that was of no help at all. Any suggestions as to how I can resolve this issue would be greatly appreciated.

All, I have this same problem and has just solved it on my iPhone.
I read up on the problem at att.com/esupport and arrived at the link below:
https://www.att.com/esupport/article.jsp?sid=KB413495#fbid=ahhj00ALH45
"If your email address is linked to your AT&T Access ID, changing your AT&T Access ID password automatically changes your email password to the same password.
If you use your email address as your AT&T Access ID, changing your email password automatically changes your AT&T Access ID password to the same password."
I have a ATT Uverse (for my internet access) acct and could not log on so I requested for password reset. They sent me temp password and I had to change my password to my Uverse acct. I use my att.net email as the log on for my Uverse acct. Per att instructions above, my Uverse acct is linked to my att.net email, so now my att.net email pw has been changed to the pw for my Uverse acct.
Accordingly, go into your iPhone Settings, Mail, Contacts, Calendars, choose your Att.net mail acct and change your password. In my case I changed it to the new pw I had set up for my Uverse acct and it works.
Before doing this, I had also added new servers as shown below. The way I see it because your iPhone will try in succession to log on to each server from top to bottom of the list, it's best to add all the mail servers.
smtp.mail.yahoo.com
smtp.mail.att.net
outbound.att.net
Please note that I did not have to add "imap.mail.att.net" and my Att.net mail on my iPhone still works.
Hope this helps.

SBH 52 headphones with microphone

I used this device and everythink works fine except one thing. When i connect my headphones with microphone (Xiaomi Piston 2.0) , then is using SBH52 build-in microphone instead of that which is in my headphones. I tried googling this problem, but without any success. Had i something wrong configured, or this device cant handle a external microphone? Thanks for replies...
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Since this behaviour appear while using different headphones, I suggest that you have your SBH52 examined and fixed by a technician at an authorized service center. You can contact your local support team for further information about nearest service center and/or how to proceed with this in the best possible way:

Ipod nano 6th: no voice recorder despite headphones with microphone

Hi there!
I have got an ipod nano 6th that is working ok, but when I use my headset with microphone, the voice recorder app still does not show up. It can't be the headphones as 1) I have tried several ones with microphones on the nano and none makes the app appear, 2) the very same headphones manage to trigger appearence of voice recorder in other ipods. So it must me my ipod nano. Any ideas, suggestions, experiences? BTW: it used to work in the past on this nano...so no idea why it stopped.
Thanks!
Bettina

Hello Bettina,
I would be concerned too if the Voice Memos app stopped appearing on my iPod nano. I found some steps I recommend to troubleshoot an issue like this.
First, I recommend verifying that the Voice Memos icon is set to be visible on your iPod nano. If you go to Settings>General>Home Screen, make sure you see the switch set to On next to Voice Memos. You can find more information about this on page 15 in the iPod nano (6th generation) User Guide.
If you are still not able to see the Voice Memo icon after verifying that, I recommend resetting your iPod nano (from page 52 of the iPod nano User Guide):
Reset iPod nano:
First, make sure iPod nano is charged. Then press the Sleep/Wake button and the Volume Down button for 6 seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
The final step would be to restore your iPod nano if Voice Memos is still not appearing. You can find steps to do this on page 56 of the User Guide.
You can find the iPod nano (6th generation) User Guide here:

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

Looking to buy headphones with microphone to work with my MacBookAir - any ideas

I am reading that this can be a problem.
Is there a set that is known to work or do I need some kind of jack ?
Wanting to use Rosetta Stone on MacBookAir.
Cheers.

Welcome to Apple Discussions.
Any USB voice qualtiy headset microphone will work. Where are you reading that this is a problem?

Can you get the plan headphones with a remote(like you do when you first buy a smaller gb ipod)? if so how much do they rage and where can you order then?

i've been having a hard time just finding a good/not over 30$ headphones that will go with cause the the headphones i
got are dead and not working no longer and you know parents or anyone these's days that are not willing to go
buy something that isnt rescearched yet! and i even want a good pair but not have to spend 70$ on them and to
know they might stop working in the next month/year or two!!

That's a 3rd gen iPod shuffle, so do not get the new Apple EarPod headphones. Based on posts I've read here, they do not work with the 3rd gen shuffle.
You can still find the old version of the Apple headphones with remote, at online stores like Amazon. They are like the one that came with your shuffle, except they usually have a microphone on the remote nub.
Alternately, you can use something like this adapter with remote controls

and connect ANY headphones.

How can I use the microphone on the iPhone 5 headphones with my ASUS Laptop?

ASUS Vivobook X202E
Windows 8
Headphone jack is both headphone and microphone jack
How can I manage to use the microphone on my Apple iPhone 5 headphones with my ASUS laptop?
When I plug in the headphones, only the headphones work, the microphone does nothing.
Anyone find a solution.
Thank you in advance for any and all help.

I doubt that the Apple headset is compatible with your laptop. Apple devices have an extra "ring" in the plug and jack for connecting the control buttons. Your laptop does not recognize the extra contact.

HI @Rajatsharma_yam ,
Thank you for your inquiry, I will do my best to assist you.
I grasp that when you connect your combo headphones and mic the mic portion is not working.
Have you done all your Windows updates?
Have you ran the HP Support Assistant to ensure you have the latest HP drivers installed.
If you look at the physical connector how may bands do you see on it? You should have 3 or 4 bands.
Are you sure they are connected all the way into the headset and the port on the notebook.
When you have the combo headset connected go to control panel/sound and open the Window.
Click on the recording tab, is the mic listed? You should be able to select and configure from this Window.
Here is a link to Resolving headphones and headset problems (Windows 8) that may also be of aid.
Good Luck!

Longer USB cable & Headphones with boom microphone

Using iPhone 3G
Question 1) the USB cord supplied to run from electrical adapter to the phone is too short. Does the electrical adapter work with any standard USB 2.0 cable, so I could buy a longer cable anywhere? I don't see a longer cable offered by Apple.
Question 2) I would like a serious headphone for business use. That means a combination headphone with a boom microphone (hopefully with a noise cancelling mic). I don't see any from apple. Does anybody know of one that works well? Standard ones do not work since that are not set up for the stereo jack on the iPhone 3G. I have seen some adapters (go from iPhone jack to standard used by telephone head sets) but they have not gotten good reviews.
Thanks
Bob

I absolutely agree that a longer cable is necessary because my front USB port is low down at the bottom of my computer, which itself is located a few inches above the floor. So, yes, to see the Micro while I'm downloading or checking to see if it's docked, does require me to bend down near the floor to see what's going on. I have resorted to using my USB camera cable, which is long and conveniently located on my desk!

How do I use a headset with separate headphone and microphone jacks on my macbook air

I have a new macbook air and a headset with separate headphone and microphone jacks. Where (how) do I plug in the microphone jack into the computer?

This adapter and sufficient length VGA cable is all you need.

How can I plug in my headphones with a microphone built-in to my macbook pro?

I have some new headphones with a built in mic that I want to use to record commentary and also hear out of for making youtube videos. The headphones plug has 3 rings on it, I'm pretty sure this means 4 conductive sections, 2 for each speaker, 1 for the mic, and 1 for the play/pause button on the mic. these are not apple headphones, they are sony. I dont really know how to split the headphones into both my microphone and headphones jack on my laptop. Can someone please help me out? Thanks.

Easy, go to the preferences (or properties) in iTunes. Go to the advanced tab and check the Prevent iPods.... from syncing automatically.

Hi! I'm from Russia and i want to buy the new unlocked iPhone 4S in the U.S. in November, but i need to know, am i need this doc's?
What to Bring with You
Your old mobile phone, if you’re replacing it.
Social Security number of the account holder.
Valid government-issued photo ID.
Carrier account password, if you have one.
Your Apple ID and password.

According to Apple's list (link above) you will probably want to pick up a Sprint or US Cellular model. HOWEVER, as I mentioned above I know that the Verizon iPhones come unlocked from the factory (assuming it will be the same for iPhone 6 and 6+). I DO NOT KNOW if the Sprint and US Cellular models come unlocked. But I am sure some quick internet research will lead you to the answer.
I think your goal would be to get a Sprint or US Cellular version. Also I believe a law was just recently passed that allows someone to have a phone unlocked by the carrier no questions asked. So even if the Sprint and US Cellular iPhones are locked you can have them unlocked.

Can I buy a headset with microphone for my 13" MACBOOK PRO?

There is only one hole to plug an earphone, and when i record in my software, and i replay it. it sounds strange. so i'm trying to change a microphone.
is the headset with microphone for A1278 on sale? could somebody give me an sale net address?

Thank you. I know what you mean. Apple can support earpiece and microphone in one plug.
When I ask about this question, my MBP had trouble in Windows XP.
I'm Chinese, and there is a software named DynEd. I was using it to record my voice,that voice changed when I replay. It just like an iPhone app:Talking Prez.
And then I reinstall my windows system. Now I'm using Windows 7, and the question resolved.
Maybe 4GB memory is too big for WinXP x32.
What do you think?

(SOLVED!) Bugs with Microphone (X-Fi Soundcard) on Voice Tools (Teamspeak 3)

Sound : Creative X-Fi Fatalty Titanium PCIe
Headset : Speedlink Medusa 5. Progamer Edition (with Cinch! no USB crap..)
OS : Microsoft Windows XP Professional x64 Edition Version 2003 SP2
Hi, i've got the X-Fi Fatalty Titanium Soundcard since last day and im really happy about that soundcard.
But......
Ive gotta real problem now.. when i starting a voice program like Teamspeak 3 or ICQ / X-Fire whatever..
my voice is crunshing, sounds like overdri'ved. i tried every settings on that drivers but it wont work.. and the best is.. when i start to listen myself on windows to check how my voice is on it.. it is clear and fine. Only on Voice Tools are this crap sound.. i really dont know anymore what i can do also to smash the card outta my window..
what i've tried :
All Driver / Stuff deinstalled.. cleaned with Driver Sweeper / Driver Cleaner Pro and TuneUp Registry Cleaner
and i've tried the old stuff on CD inclusi've the latest Driver for my OS (Windows XP Professional x64) "2.7.0007"
it dont work.. got the same bug
i've tried the Final Edition of Pax Drivers 200 Suit... and same thing....
at last i've tried the latest driver 2.7.0007 with the latest Console Center "2.6.09" but also.. the sound on Voice Tools always craped again..
and i got on Games like Call of Duty 4 always some sound bugs like a shot is repeat or some other sound is repeat or strange cut.
this all makes me really sad...
i would be looking forward if anyone here got a idea how to fix this problem..
l8er

FRe: Bugs with Microphone (X-Fi Soundcard) on Voice Tools (Teamspeak 3)?so... i keeped this settings as ussualy for the future for other guys they got maybe the same problems with voicetools and microphone settings on X-Fi cards..
i installed the actuallay driver settings and all programs for the X-Fi..
after that i restart my PC and going into the BIOS and activated my Onboardsoundcard.
when i start my windows again i installed the HD Realtek Drivers and Programs... after restart i choose on System--> Audio etc..
Soundinput ---> Realtek
Soundoutput ---> X-Fi
now it works for me great.. i got no Microphone bugs anymore on Voicetools and also i got a really really great sound from the X-Fi on Games and Music.
I hope i have some guys help with this art of solving that problem.. sry but i've tryied 0 different ways of Driver settings and i tryied Daniel_K Drivers / Pax Drivers and old Creative Drivers... nothing solved my problems..
oh and of course if u got some noise sounds like a pipe sound but really high and not really loud just like u can hear what the Computer is working inside your headset.. make the newest Creative Drivers on it.. there must be a new setting who Mute this sounds.. i got no signals anymore in my headset how the PC is work.. all is silence when i do nothing.. its really chilled
So.. bb and l8er for u all..
oh.. and thx for "no" support after all in the last 2 Days here..
P.S.
this will be the last Creative Card for me @ Creative Firm.. no kidding.. i've payed 26? for the badest support and the badest worked drivers i've ever seen in my life.. i hope there will be more rivals in future for u.. so u can stop to think about?u can?make the worst support at?all to the clients who buy your stuff..
Best Regards

Sony Xperia J and headphones with controls

Hi All
I've just got a Sony Xperia J and am having little joy with the headphones. I've done searching and seen lots of posts about it, but I'm still not 100% sure on the situation unfortently.
The phone is CTIA. My headphones are CTIA (Altec Lansing Muzx® Ultra - MZX606). I've also tried another pair of CTIA (Skull Candy) headphones with the same result. Both work on iPhones fine, with full button functionality.
Just plug them in - nothing.
Hold down the centre button as you plug them in - Phone acknowledges them being plugged in and sound comes through them.
The next/back/play/answer etc buttons on them have no effect at all.
Why? (Feel free to get technical!). Does the Xperia J even support these buttons? I've looked at the Smart Headset and am concerned if I bought one the buttons still wouldn't work. Plus, I really don't want to buy more headphones as I already have a nice set of headphones with all the buttons I need that I've been using with my previous phone
I really want the buttons working so I can tuck it away safely on my daily commute but easily turn the volume up and down etc, as I have been doing for years on my previous phone.
Thank you!

I believe the problem might be related to voltage being used. Third party headsets that comes with music controls tends to use other voltage values compared to headsets just having a call key.
Xperia J provides 2V and if the headset requires more you might experience difficulties like this.
This might help you finding a third party headset that is fully compatible with your phone.
