Nokia Purity Stereo In-Ear Headphones (Discontinue...

Hello,
What In-Ear Headphones now work with a Nokia 920?  When I first got it, all of my iPhone compatable headsets didn't work so I had to get the Nokia ones. Now they are broken (even with VERY light use) - no surprise there - I am looking to replace them.
Nokia had their own (non) standard for headsets, so where can I go to find stuff that will work.  I only need something so I can make phone calls, that sounds good and hopefully doesn't suffer from the sub-par noise that the Purity headset did.
Thanks

Yes, my point exactly. Forgive me, I should have used the word common, instead of standard.
When you go to a store and want to buy a headset for your mobile, which "standard" are you most likely to see supported?  Of all the headphones available today for mobile phones, what percentage of them support Apple vs OMTP?  An not those $4.95 cheap things, I'm talking about a decent headset.
The headset that worked with my HTC Titan no longer worked with my 920, in fact after a great deal of searching I only found one decent headset that did, the above mentioned Nokia Purity. So what if it supports a new open standard that no one uses, how did that help me?
The worst thing about this headset is that they were cheap plastic with a terrible mic that suffers from too much wind noise - problems fixed in other manufacturers a long time ago - and because they were made by Monster, they were twice as expensive as they needed to be. I used them gingerly a handful of times and still they broke on me - which was expected.
So a year later, I want to move on and I am here to find out what I can move on too. Neither my Spyder True Voice or my NOCS work. I tried the converter route, didn't work. When I go to Amazon and type in OMTP or AHJ Headset nothing decent shows up. Now the only set that did work are discontinued - so back to my original question, what do I do now?

  • Nokia Purity red on-ear headphones

    Does anyone have an idea of where to buy the red version of Nokia Purity by Monster WH930 headphones? (not the pro-version) There seems to be not a single physical store in Belgium nor an online store that sells them...
    Any help would be much appreciated!

  • Nokia Purity Stereo InEar Headphones - Only workin...

    I have a set of Nokia Purity Stereo InEar headphones that I was given for my B-day in November. Yesterday they started just playing content in Mono (ie the right hand speaker no-longer works...) Everything else works. I have tested it in a number of audio jacks and its definitely not working. There does not seem to be any support for these on the Nokia or Monster Purity website, it just sends me to some random page with twitter and facebook links and this discussion. 
    Anyone got any ideas or guidance?

    @ashmonsterr
    Although this applies to Lumia 920 Euro version, in as much as Start/Stop, change track, volume + & - there are no issues using WH-920 with my 920; as I decline Microsoft terms for voice control I can't say for this function.

  • Nokia Purity Stereo Headset by Monster Compatibili...

    Hey guys just looking into info if the Nokia Purity in ear headset is compatible with the Lumia 920? I'm after full ability to change tracks, pause, answer calls and toggle volume. 
    I keep getting different answers. Some say yes some no and some say no to start with but now yes due to a recent driver update by nokia. So a final answer would be good before wasting $100+. 
    If the answer is no suggestions of any other in ear headset with works in such a way would be handy. 
    Thanks in advance. 
    Solved!

    All you will get here are experiences and guesses. Nokia does not repspond to posts here. You best bet would be Nokia Care.
    My experience would be that it works fine.

  • Nokia Purity HD Stereo Headset Need Audio Cable

    Lost both audio cables for my yellow Nokia Purity HD Stereo Headset. Does anybody knows where can I get a new one? Wpold prefer the one with the volume control.

  • Does Apple make/sell the new "Apple In-Ear Headphones with Remote and Mic" with a one sided configuration? So that a person that is deaf in one can hear both sides of a stereo recording? Also, since the "other" bud is not necessary/useful...it's removed.

    As far as I know, Apple sells no such configuration.  However, under Settings > General > Accessability, there is an option to play back audio in monoural mode, which would then play both halves of a stereo mix in each earbud.
    Hope that helps.

  • Nokia 700 and Nokia Purity WH 920 Earphones

    Hi,
    I've recently purchased a Pair of Nokia Purity earphones and low and behold... when I plug them into the Nokia 700... "Accessory Not Supported" comes up.
    I think this is potentially a growing trend with Nokia Belle devices. I'm absolutely shocked that I can't even use them as a standard pair of earphones with the phone without mic/volume control.
    I've tried it with my Nokia E52 to see if it were the headphones, and unless I hold down on the answer button on the remote control, I don't get the full sound.
    This reminds me of when I bought a pair of Logitech Ultimate Ears for my Nokia E7 and it worked great (even though I couldn't use the volume control on the pair) until I upgraded to Belle and then it said "Accessory Not Supported".
    Does anyone know if there's a software patch available for Belle that will allow me to use the ear phones? This is all starting to get ridiculous!
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Take a closer look at the cable, it's probably not for size and same as the one supplied with the purity earbuds.  I have to use it to get sound from my N9, without it I get nothing.
    Here's a pic of it.

  • In-Ear Headphones...but which ear?

    So i finally got myself some Apple In-ear headphones. But one odd thing i noticed. When first opening the packaging, the left earbud is on the right side of the carry case.
    Does this mean that the left earbud caps are on the left side, or on the left side of the carry case??

    Any in-ear headphones with a 3.5 mm stereo jack are iPod compatible.

    Any standard 3.5mm stereo splitter will do:

    Make sure it is 1 male > 2 female, as above.

  • Is it possible to get custom eartips for the Apple In-ear headphones?

    A year or so ago I purchased the Apple In-ear headphones. I use them primarily in the car when my brother plays his music through the car stereo while I'm watching a movie on my iPod Touch or my MacBook Pro. They have very good isolation, but are uncomforable and it is very hard to get them to fit in my ears properly as well as keeping them from working themselves out of my ears. This is with me using the small eartips as the large eartips don't fit in my ears at all and the medium eartips make my ears hurt more than the small eartips along with not fitting as well.
    I think custom eartips may be the best solution to my quandry.
    Is it possible to get custom eartips for my Apple In-ear headphones?
    If so, where can I get custom eartips for my Apple In-ear headphones?

    i would definitely try amazon.com, im sure there are some earips on there that are fit to work with apple in-ear headphones, hope this helps!

  • Seeking Over-Ear headphones with Mic.

    Has anyone run across a descent (wired) over-ear type stereo headset with a Mic (so that it will work with the iPhone 3G? I, personally, can't stand the ear buds as they never stay in my ear for long - especially while working out at the gym. I have some KOSS over-ear headphones I got a Radio Shack a while back, but they don't have a mic and I really like that feature/function of the iPhone.

    Didn't see a mic on most of their models, however they are much pricier than I'm looking for - I'd like to stay under $50 as I don't need top-of-the-line audio quality.

  • Replacement Cable for Nokia Purity HD?

    Is there any way to aquire a replacement cable for the Nokia Purity HD headphones? I've looked all over but couldn't find any exact answers. Are there any other cables that would be compatible?

    These cables are for the Monster Insporation headphones so I can't promise they'll work, but they're the closet thing I could find for you.http://www.monsterproducts.com/headphones/headphon​eslist.asp?custom=parts

  • I lost one of the earbuds for my Apple In-ear Headphones with Mic. Now what do It do?

    I lost one of the earbuds for my Apple In-ear Headphones with Mic.
    In case you don't see why this could be a big deal, let me remind you that these little earphones will run you $79 new. Naturally, I'm sure there's got to be a reasonable solution that another owner of these headphones may know of or can share with me.
    Should I bring it to the Apple store or will they just laugh at me?
    Basically, all I'm missing is the jelly-like in-ear bud on one side (which is easily replaceable; I just need to know where I can order GENUINE extras from).
    Click here to see the Apple In-ear Headphones I'm referring to.

    I've tried several and the best by far is the Sennheiser MM50 iP ($99 at the apple store). The sound is incredible, particularly the low frequecy response (bass). These are even better than the Bose Triports I used for my iPod, plus they have the mic and button for recieving calls and ipod playback. I also have the airdrives, which don't even compare for sound quality and range because they aren't in-ear (they sit directly in front of the ear canal). I still use the airdrives in situations where I want music distraction but still want to hear what's happening around me, but for in-ear sound quality and iPhone functionality I don't think you're going to find better for the Sennheisers for under $100. In fact I don't think their is anything under $250 right now that would match it for performance, comfort and functionality.
    Note: these are asymmetrical which means the cord for the right earbud goes behind your neck to the right ear. I found this strange at first but now I actually like it because it allows you to pull the earlplugs out and just let them rest over your neck/shoulders.

  • Why do regular stereo mini jack headphones no longer work in macbook pro

    I have a macbook pro (2009) v10.9.5, 2.53GHz Core 2 Duo. Lately normal non apple stereo mini jack headphones no longer work. The jack doesn't cut the speaker sound as normal. It wasn't like this until comparatively recently. Apple iphone headphones do work.. is this a software or hardware problem?

    That is odd.  Try a NVRAM reset:

    No I have my own iPhone iPad and MacBook  so everything is set up on devices that are mine and as far as I know I never connected to anyone else's device and logged with my apple ID.  But are you saying it is possible for someone to have obtained my apple ID and send an iMessage from their device with my contact information so it looks like it came directly from me?  It's crazy I looked down at my iPhone and saw this message had just been sent that I did not type or send
