I really feel that we need Jolla specific headphones for our devices to be able to release its full potential while the phone is in pocket etc. So! What features would be essential? I feel that tiny display would be extremely cool! Also full music/phone call handling is needed. Bluetooth maybe? A tiny fm-receiver included?

Others feel a need for Jolla specific headphones?

Yeah I was really upset after I noticed that Jolla didn't add some headphones to the package and I am still waiting to see some Headphones at the Jolla Store.

I have never used the supplied headphones with any mobile phone. Nothing beats my Koss QZ900. Or the Sennheiser PX100 II, if I want lightweigth.

I was more disappointed that the jack does not support both types of headset-jacks (swapped gnd). In terms of waste it is a pretty good idea to not ship chargers, cables and headsets with devices, I have 6 wall-chargers (2xN900, 1xN9, 2xSamsung, 1xJolla) - 3 native, 5 additional uUSB cables and 4 native headsets (where I cannot use a single one for Jolla as two are NokiaJacked and two are SonyE)

I would like to buy headphones to answer calls handsfree and not use BT, but still have to find a suitable model that works

My friend challenged me to think "unlike" with the headset issue. This is the best I could come up with.

The modular wired headset
Starting backwards from the ears. Choose any stereo headphones that has a 3.5mm plug. Use your favorites or POS disposable ones. The headphone plug is then inserted into a microphone cable (that might be shipped with the phone). The head of that cable houses a 3.5mm stereo socket, a noise-cancelling microphone and three buttons (plus-multi-minus). The other end is an android-compatible 4-pole 3.5mm headset plug.

When not attached to the Jolla phone the above setup could be connected to a high-fidelity USB digital-to-analogue-converter (DAC) that has a matching 4-pole headset socket. The DAC could also be Jolla branded and offered in the shop.

Using a pair of AKG 450s with the handset cable and these are truly excellent. Jolla branded headphones would be a waste of time unless you are prepared to pay an extra €30 to €50 to really do the device justice. Jolla took the right approach with having a minimalist setup both in Apps and Accessories. The vast majority of headphones supplied with mobiles are thrown away after a couple of days or weeks because generally they sound atrocious :-)

Coloud Pop headphones are good quality for their (relatively) cheap price, have the right pinout, will work when button support is added, and Nokia just partnered with them to make some in-ears that matched the Lumia colours, so I imagine they'd be open to Jolla doing the same (black and poppy red / aloe / white?)

They'd be nice to include in-package for new users (perhaps a little unrealistic price-wise), but I'd definitely buy some as extras from the store too!

Colour Pop in poppy red would be nice :)

Sound quality is direct proportional with the price and here people will always disagree - what is enough for me is not enough for the guy rocking 200$+ worth of headphones. So maybe have a few price levels.

What I feel it's ESSENTIAL on a phone is a remote that works! Having to pull out the phone to anwser a call/mute the music is really silly. Volume control would be even better but call answering is essential. It's the most annoying part of my Jolla for me.

In my opinion, one of the best usability and battery duration is the Plantronics Voyager. Except I don't use that Smart Sensor feature. Active use every day for 5-6 hours. http://www.plantronics.com/uk/product/voyager-pro-hd

it should have a microfone or sth on the wire of headphones that allows me to talk with my friend (phone call) and thus i don't have to hold my jolla in my hand near mouth.

Volume control would be good when listening to music, and an answer button for calls.

Why not professional SHURE earphones? It would be the best combination with cheap plastic handset, full of bugs os, broken sim card slot and extremly laud email notifications.

I own Shure se215, and se535 headphones, and use se535 a lot, only problem with driving these from Jolla is that there is quite a bit of background his.

What needs to be made compatible? iirc buttons are just not implemented yet.

In my opinion, Android headset compatibility would be much more natural choice for Jolla. After all, the Jolla phone is basically built of Android hardware. Maybe it's just me, but I try to avoid Apple compatible devices whenever I can. I just don't want anything to do with Apple.

TLem ( 2014-03-31 22:22:46 +0300 )edit

Jolla is compatible with the iPhone headsets, Sailfish just does not support more than the simplest play/pause function. The volume controls are not usable.

There are only two different standards, most modern Androids/Nokias and the Apple devices use the same standard. Older Nokias (like the Symbian^3 phones) used an incompatible standard. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phone_connector_(audio)#TRRS_standards
