Question [Q] Good headphones with remote and mic for Nexus S

Anyone knows what are good headphones w/remote and mic for Nexus S? I tried Sony MDR-EX38iP, but encountered two problems: <major> sound volume is very low, and <minor> volume up/down buttons don't work. Any ideas/suggestions?

graemegb, do all the remote functions work, e.g. track skip?

I have a pair of iPhone compatiable earphones (Ultimate Ears SuperFi v5i) and only the pause/resume function works. Was the same with the HTC HD7 and Desire HD.

I'm not too fussed about Volume, would just like to be able to skip tracks.

I have Bose MIE2 and Sennheiser MM60.
The button only works with play/pause.

I'd suggest going for AIAIAI y-com headphones, although they do not include a remote inline for volume. They are great though and I've had them for about a year with no complaints.

Check out http://www.aiaiai.dk/headsets/y-com/y-com-grey.html

I have the grey ones, but they also come in black. Make sure you go for the Y-Com and not the Y-model, those do not have the mic.

You don't have to buy them from their website, a quick search will yield local results for shopping.

I use Sony HBH-IS800 Bluetooth Headphones - basically just two buds connected by a wire. They only have one button which plays/pauses music or answers an incoming call. Good sound quality.
