[Q] Skip Track Wired HTC HD7 Headset

[lionliam]

Hello I was wondering if there is a way to get the headset on the HD7 to map to next\previous tracks rather than volume up\down (or indeed is there another headset on the market that does this).

I like to use my hd7 on the treadmill in the gym and if a song comes on I don't like I have no way to skip it (touchscreen isn't a viable option when running). I find it curious why MS chose vol up\down rather than previous\next track. I realise I can get an A2DP bluetooth headset to do this but I have had problems in the past with these with choppy/poor quality audio. So are there any wired options for me?

this is also my concern. been trying to figure it out for quite sometime now. haha!
anyway, i'm also using jabra halo which is i believe the best wireless stereo headset for my hd7. the sound is just amazing! same compliment that i get from other people who have tried this headset.

Hi Guys,

I bought an Itech clip from ebay, essentially it is a bluetooth reciever. You can plug in your favourite earphones/buds etc and have full controll over track skipping forward/backward, also vol up /down and the ability to answer you phone if it goes off.
Best thing is it clips wherever and can be upto around 15 feet away from the handset without signal loss (thats how far mine goes anyway)
I managed to get mine from Hong Kong (probably a copy) with delivery for a bargain price of £7.00 and it arrived in a week. Best buy

Hope this helps,
Creamy

well i dont want a bluetooth headset, and i shouldnt have to have one just to gain something so simple that every other phone manages to do.

double tapping the middle button on the headset works on iphone and android and i've even heard it works on other WP7 handsets from LG and Samsung so why not the HD7?
