Help Please:- Struggling to find a compatible set of headphones for my Android MPai I9500 :(

[justwondering]

Help Please , I have a Mpai i9500 , great bit of kit , it's my back up phone to my galaxy s4 , the headphones that came with the Mpai I9500 are pretty rubbish to be honest but they do work , remote , mic and earphones.

I would like to use a better pair of headphones

I have tried my Samsung galaxy s4 headphones and a cheap android compatible pair from eBay on the phone the sound works for listening to music , BUT the mic does not work and the remote buttons do not work......

The Mpai i9500 is running android 4.2.2 , I have had a look for a headset app for perhaps re-configuring headsets , but I've not really found anything that is made to fix the problem.

Does anyone know of a solution via a app or a link to a compatible set of headphones.......if required , I would be happy to root the phone if required.

TIA

I have these (though in a far less gaudy black). Everything works fine - including the mic

For the best visibility I moved this thread to the forum where phones that do not have dedicated forums are discussed.

Thank you for your reply, sadly they are much more expensive than I can afford, in the UK on ebay you can pick up headsets for the much lower budget, ideally less than
