Root Headphones w/ mic for the triumph?

portezbie · Feb 11, 2012

I want to get some headphones w/ a mic for my triumph, any recommendations?

Ideally, I would love something like the sony s2's but with a mic:

Sony S2 Sports Headphones Overview & User Reviews - Headphones - CNET Reviews

however, if those don't exist I could try earbuds. I found these on amazon:

Amazon.com: Original Genuine Samsung Black In-Ear Headset Headphone Handsfree Earphone Ear Phone EHS44ASSBE GH59-10443B FOR Samsung GT-i9100 i9100 Galaxy S II 2 SGH-T989 SGH-i777 Epic Touch 4G Galaxy Prevail Galaxy S 4G: Cell Phones & Accessories

cheap, good reviews. Any other recommendations?

Well any would work. I use my moms that came with her Samsung captivate and they are really good.

I hate earbuds, they never stick in my ear right. so I was trying to use the old earbuds + inline mic from my optimus V. that was a total fail.

I did end up getting a pair of motorola earbuds with a really slim inline mic, they worked on the triumph so I cut the cables open, spliced the 4 connector headphone plug and inline mic into the wiring of my sony studio monitor headphones (what I normally use for jamming out to music) some shrink tubing and its barely noticable.

best solution if you arent willing to spend a ridiculous amount on headphones like me

I use a rocket fish Bluetooth headset its great for music and has a mic for calls

You can buy a headset controller with a mic that you can just plug your headphones into. I haven't tried them personally as I use Skullycandy 50/50, but they should work. I can get a radioshack link for one so you at least know what to look for.

yeah they do get loud! lol

and they still sound good when they are loud too. they hit good bass notes and everything. (at least mine do)

they also somewhat isolate outside noise too.

p.s- just think, those are from that galaxy s II and mine are from the captivate. so those are probably alot better lol

Skullcandy's better! lol. The ones I have that have inline headset controller with mic are a bit pricey but worth it. Skullcandy 50/50s which are ironically $50.

Yeah they are but I gotta use what I have lol

Actually thinking about it... Here: Mic Headphones and Mic Headsets from Skullcandy. That's all of Skullcandy's headphones that have mics. They also have free shipping so you could either get them online or some retailers have them. I know Radioshack and Bestbuy usually carry Skullycandy albeit not all that many...

Edit: also they have a limited lifetime warranty as well as a discount if you break them. (like smash them or something). If they just stop working then they're covered by the warranty.

I dont know if you go over to
Head-Fi.org - Headphone forums and reviews for audiophiles
They will rip you to shreds if you mention skull candy.
These
Woodees iESW100V Vintage w/Mic In-Ear Headphones

Or these if you have the money.

Etymotic HF3 headphones | HeadRoom Audio

Are some of the best headphones (with a mic) you can get.

Its funny how people think that any headphones with bass are "good" headphones.
If you want bass and dont care about the way your highs and mids sounds than go buy some Dr.Dre Beats or something.

Skull candy pink and black and they work awesome. Ima get another
pair with silver in it. Works with my phone desktop and notebook

I got some skullcandy "the fix" headphones for free at ces at their booth. But I can't recommend them, because the Mic doesn't work for anything. The buds are fantastic with awesome bass, but the Mic is something I really wish would work. And I have had multiple pairs of skullcandys and loved them!

Edit: Marc12868 I assume from your replies and profile pic, that you're a skullcandy fan

Thanks Ziggy, these are definitely more in my price range.

Thank you everyone else for the other suggestions, but they are just a bit out of my budget.

I should have said in my original post I was looking for something around 25 bucks or less.

The mic works fine for me. And I'm not a skull candy fan >_>... Ok maybe I am.

They aren't some of the worst.....
They are just way over priced compared to the sound "quality" that they put out.
