Just wondering..... The headphone jack on the bottom of the Nexus 7, does it support a microphone also?
If so..... what is your recommendation for ear buds and microphone combination that will plug into the jack?

Yes it does, and I've used both Ultimate Ears 500vi and Klipsch s4a with my N7. Both are mid-range ($50+), but they both had fantastic sound quality and microphone quality. If you're an audiophile though or plan on using them for music as well, the Klipsch provide clearer/more defined sound. Klipsch also has an Android app available to customize the reactions to various clicks of the built-in button on the headphones.

I attempted to use my cheap Skullcandy headphones which have a mic, but I don't think they worked. I'll have to try again in a more controlled scenario.

Which is funny since it would appear that the Nexus 7 does not have mic support via the jack after all.

Good stuff, but the headphone jack does not support a mic, so the mic your are using is the mic built into the top of the N7.

Is there any software or anything to increase audio gain in these devices? I'm using the stock ROM and when I plug a cable from my car into my headphone jack on it the sound doesn't get hardly loud at all. The volume is all the way up on the Transformer and yet my iPod is a lot louder than it is. Would using bluetooth be any better? My car doesn't have bluetooth but they sell a module just didn't know if it would. :/

Thanks! I'll give it a try tomorrow. Also I don't really know much about audio but would bluetooth be any better (quality wise) than using the headphone jack, or would there be no significant difference in that respect?
I have apps called "Equalizer" and "DSPManager" and they each seem to do the trick. Is there any advantage to one or the other (including Volume+ as well) though?

Hi guys,
Is there any word about apt-x codec support on teh galaxy note?
Also, I've used bluetooth headset about 4 years ago and there was always a noise in the background while nothing was being played plus lots of delays on the audio (nokia N82 plus nokia BH-601 headphone)
With an good expensive headphone like the sennheiser mm 550 should I expect the same problem?
Thanks!
Note doesnt support apt-x. Still a lot of background noise in my case.

do you have delay as well during video playing?
What kinf of headphone do you use?
What's with the design of this jack? I don't use ear buds but presume most will connect fine, but neither my Foxl speakers nor external amp will connect because of the curve of the phone. No problem with the GNex. Annoyed.

They'll connect just fine? Make sure you press hard enough for it to snap in! It's a standard 3.5mm jack. Just with a little bit of it cut out for the curve

You're right, I'm an idiot. Didn't have to press so hard on the GNex but there you go. Thanks.

I wouldn't worry too much, it took me a few minutes to figure out they had to snap in. I thought I had a faulty jack at first

I know with the bumper it's a bit hard to connect to the jack
The original samsung headphones have no issues whatsoever. Its just my expensive ones like klipsch and monster that seem to pop and crack at high volune when they work flawlessly on other devices... does anyone know which headphones with the 3 buttons are compatable with the gs4. So far volume controls refuse to work on monster dna earbuds and klipsch s4i headphones. Is there a certain ohm or impedance the gs4 uses. Never had this problem with my atrix... a compatable list of 3 button headphones would be greatly appreciated.

My klipsch s4 does this too but not on my nexus 4 or HTC one. I don't notice it all the time

Count me in too. My cheap $10 headphones which work flawlessly on every other device crackle and pop on my S4. When I use my auxiliary cable in my car, I do not experience this. I'm going to try the Samsung headphones.
Appreciated. Ill post a compatable list after I find the correct impedance number. Also what about the volume up and down anyone know? I the only ones I know that work are the beats ear buds with the remote. They work flawlessly. Unfortunately I do not own a pair....

any units with impedance of under 15ohm will have issues; look up the specs on your buds or cans.
I recently attended a concert and took my nexus 4 along with me to take some video recordings. After playing back the recordings I have realised the sound is really distorted. From looking around i've heard its an issue with the mic gain. Could i possibly use an external mic to record through the headphone jack? If so does anyone have any recommendations as to which I should purchase? Doesn't have to be anything special just so the sound is clear and reasonably priced. Also what app will allow me to record via the headphone jack?
Thanks in advance!
Just put your finger on the microphone while recording. It will be less distorted.

I tried that and although it is less distorted its not quite as clear as I'd like it to be.
Fact: microphone camera and speaker on stock n4 sucks.
