What headset / earphones with mic work with N900?

The WH-205 earphones that came with my N900 have died; there is an internal break and it has lost sound to one ear. I don't want another pair of them, I'm looking for an alternative set of in-ear earphones with a mic. Can anyone suggest something that has been tested with an N900? I bought a pair of Klipsch S2m earphones which had been suggested, but they don't work, they make a strange and loud clicking noise, so it seems the N900 is sensitive about which earphones/headsets work.
Ideally I'm after earphones that have a cable, so I can use them on an aeroplane. Don't mind if they are Bluetooth too, as long as wired use is possible. I don't mind if special buttons don't work, as long as the audio and mic work correctly.
Can anyone suggest anything that has been proven to work in practice? Thanks very much in advance,
Cheers, Tony.

I've been using the pair that came with my missus's Sony Ericsson Vivaz, which are just a similar pair to the N900's ones. 1 cable with the mic and 2 earphones, but not the little bud ones that keep falling out of my ears (hence me using them and not the Nokia ones).
I'd love to have had the ones from my N95 that had the pickup and end buttons etc, but c'est la vie...

Are earphones with built-in minc compatible with EliteBook 8440p?

I have an EliteBook 8440p. I need to know if earphones with mic included are compatible with this laptop.
Currently, I am trying to use one with 3.5mm jack on the earphones or microphone connector. When connected to the earphones plug, the earphones work but the mic does not.
The earphones w/mic work fine on my iPhone so I am trying to figure out if this is a configuration issue (driver, etc.) or simply that the hardware does not support earphones w/mic.
Is anyone using earphones w/mic on their EliteBook 8440p?
Thanks,

Hello izwebusr,
Your EliteBook is a Business model. Your issue would be best answered on the HP Enterprise Business Community Forum
Good luck!

Pulseaudio + USB headset: mic works, headphones don't

I have a Logitech USB headset that I've gotten to work under other distros, but not yet with Arch. I'm running ALSA + Pulseaudio, with my /etc/asound.conf sending ALSA events to Pulseaudio. This works fine for everything I've used, with the exception of my headset. The mic works, but I can't get get any sound through the headphones, it just always goes to the default sound card. When I run pavucontrol I can see my headset listed as an input device, but not an output device.
Any ideas? Been searching, but haven't found anything yet.

My headset is /dev/dsp1, just FYI

Earphones with Mic volume doesn't work

I was playing with the iPhone 3GS at Best Buy with my Apple Earphones with Remote and Mic and I wasn't able to adjust the volume with the earphones. It does work however with the Nano, so what's the dealio? Does that function not work with the iPhone?

I should say I was trying to adjust the volume in iTunes with the earphones.

I have a earphone with mic but it doesn't work on my iPod 4G. Could there be a possible way to fix it. Please help :)

What bluetooth EARPHONES work with i-phone 3gs

what bluetooth earphones work with i-phone 3gs i've looked at a couple but found not compatible, so any suggestion's would be great

The iPhone is not designed to pair via Bluetooth to any computer (Mac or otherwise) except for personal hotspot and it will only do that if your cellular plan supports it. Following is a link to bluetooth profiles supported: iOS: Supported Bluetooth profiles
If you are trying to pair for Handoff or Continuity, note 2 things: 1- Both devices must have bluetooth turned on and they must be in range of each other, but you do not pair the devices as you would for other bluetooth uses; and 2- Handoff and Continuity do not seem to be working for a large number of people and there is no clear answer that is solving this for them.

On my iPod touch why does it only allow one earphone to play? I've plugged the ear phone kno another device and they worked perfectly fine what is wrong with my iPod

On my iPod touch why does it only allow one earphone to play? I've plugged the ear phone kno another device and they worked perfectly fine what is wrong with my iPod

- Try inserting and removing the headphone plug a dozen or so times.
- Next try a reset. Nothing is lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory defaults/new iPod
If you still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem, like a bad headphone jack.

What i have to do if the earphones don't work with IOS 6?

In my ipodtouch(4th) when i changed my ios 5.1.1 to the new ios 6
The earphones and the speaker's channel right dosen't work What i have to do ?

Assuming the headphones work in another device/other earphone do not work in your device.
-Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack Insert/remove the headphone plug a dozen times or so
Try the following to rule out a software problem
- Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

The difference between iPhone and iPod earphones with mic ?

What is the difference between the Apple iPhone Headset with Microphone and the Apple Earphones with Remote and Mic ?

The iOS just WORKS as it should and is not glitchy at all like my experience has been with Android.
I had 6 Droid X's since laundh day on July 15th, and my wife has had 4 Droid Increidble's since she got her phone around that same time - and that one had been out for a few months before she got it even, so the "initial bugs" should have been worked out by then as there were a couple software updates to the phone (not even the 2.2 update I am talking about - just 2.1 updates to fix bugs) before she even got it.
And, that's another difference.....whenever there is a software update for the iPhone you get it IMMEDIATELY as there is no "hold" by carriers to tailor it to their own needs, etc., like there is with Android.
Good point about the updates, I believe the Fascinate just got the update that's been out for months already.

2nd gen iPod Touch - can earphones with mic be used?

My daughter just got a 2nd gen Touch. She wants to buy some apps that use a microphone for input. I realise the 2nd gen doesn't come supplied with inline mic earphones (as opposed to the 3rd gen, which does), but can she buy any brand of earphone with inline mic and expect them to work?
Or does she need official Apple ones?

I have a 2nd generation ipod touch with the 3.1 software loaded. I don't see a menu available to pair a Bluetooth stereo headset. Is this capability available on the 2nd gen ipod touch?

Earphones with Remote and Mic (for Voice Recorder??)

Hello, today I find this Earphones with Remote and Mic on Apple store:
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB770
It will work on iPod touch (2nd generation), so does it mean the voice recorder app (bought from App Store) is going to work on the iPod touch (2nd generation) as well?? Or the Mic is just working for the phone function??
Anybody know?
Thanks.
Raymond

Iphone earphone with mic problem, voice echoes

i just got the earphones with mic from this store, but since then my contacts have been complaining of hearing my voice twice or echoing. It does not happen if the earphone is not plugged in. I tried another pair, same problem, but it did not occur on iphone that the store guy had. So I'm assuming something is wrong with my phone or some settings problem. Can anyone help, thanks.

I found this and wondered if this could be the issue?

Currently Being Moderated Re: Mic on headphones for iPhone 4 will not work. What could possibly be wrong?
27-Jun-2012 08:33 (in response to Jayboy504)
There are three types of 3.5 mm headphone jacks - TS, TRS, and TRRS. Tip, Ring, Sleeve.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TRS_connector
Currently the two parts closest to the cord (2nd Ring and Sleeve) are used for the microphone. Some vendors use the sleeve for the mic, and some use the ring.
Could be the problem.

Using Apple Earphones with Mic and Remote with Ipod Nano (3rd generation)

Hi, I'm just wondering if there is any way i can make the Ipod Nano(3rd generation) compatible with the Apple Earphones with Mic and Remote. I know on the box it says the earphones are only compatible with a few ipods, like the 4th generation ipod nano. But Is there any program i can download or use to allow the ipod to recognize the earphone remote and mic?
Thanks a lot.

I'm quite convinced the answer is no for that Apple mic.
I do believe recording is possible on the Nano 3G with the right attachment. But I don't think the sound comes through the headphone jack the way they do on the nano 4G and iPhone 3G/touch.
This review http://www.macworld.com/article/60004/2007/09/3gipodnano.html says it's possible, but when I look at "Belkin, Griffin Technology, and XtremeMac" I don't find much... doesn't sound like they worked very well ... the iKaraoke is compatible

Using Apple Earphones with Remote and Mic on my Macbook

Is it possible to use the remote to control volume on my macbook? I know the mic works but I can't get the remote to. Is it even possible to use the remote?

I have a unibody Macbook with OSX 10.6.1 and it works with my Apple Earphones with Remote and Mic. However, whenever I plug them in to the Macbook it takes up to 10 seconds for the volume and tracking controls to start working on the earphone remote. Also, if there is music playing in iTunes, the audio drops out for about the same amount of time. The hardware buttons on the Macbook also stop functioning during this time. The same behavior occurs when unplugging the earphones.
Basically, it seems like the Macbook is extremely slow when adding / removing the earphones as an audio control device.
Has anyone else noticed anything like this? Thanks!
