[WTB/UK] Ear-hook headset for Android
 
Dear TPU'ers,

My wife asked me to find a headset for her Android 2.3 phone (standard 4pin 3.5mm).
She's no audiophile, and has got only few requirements:

- wired
- stereo
- has microphone (headset)
- usable for sports (earhook type preferred)
- has volume control/next track/call pickup button

As far as I know, all (of them zillions) iPod/iPhone headsets are no-go (different pinout on 3.5mm).

After I began my search I couldn't believe there's such scarcity of such products...
The only thing I've found is Philips-SHS8105A-28.
And it's only in US. (Available in UK via import for £35) WTH ?

Does anyone know / can recommend any other good, non-audiophile headset for Android phone ?

Cheers,

Phonak ships their high end in-ears with ear hooks as well I do not know whether their entry level models come with them but they more than $100. Sennheiser makes quite a few models maybe have a look at their stuff. Otherwise you can buy a set of normal in-ears and purchase some standard hooks and put on those.

I hope you find something nice!

Cheers,
Fred
