Thanks for the reply. It's available here (in India) at Samsung stores for about $45, which sounds like a good price. I'll see if I can give it a listen, but I'll just go ahead and buy it even if I can't, based on your and CliOS impressions. :)

  I'm thinking of getting the HS3000 to use with my MH1 + iphone 3Gs, and have a couple of questions:   1) How does the HS3000 sound (compared to, say, the MW1 or Sansa Clip+) if you aren't using an aptX-enabled source? 2) How well and how loud does the HS3000 drive the MH1?   Thanks :)

  Thanks for the info. Does the mic on the touch work too? If so, the touch can handle both CTIA  and OMTP ... interesting..... and  the iphone 5 audio probably also works with the MH1s. I'm aware of the mods and the adapter but I was trying to find out for a friend (in another country) who...

No problem at all. Thanks for the clarification ,,, and all your great reviews - they've been most helpful! :)

  Many thanks ClieOS, for introducing me to these gems! In what you have written above, are you saying that the MH1's mic and call buttons can be made to work on the Nano 7G (and possibly iphone 5) or did you mean to say the MH1C's? I'm interested in knowing the extent of compatibility between...

  A friend who has an iphone 5 wants to get an MH1. I have the iphone 3GS but my MH1 does not work  with it, and I also thought all (newer?) iphones were CTIA. Can someone please confirm/clarify: does the MH1 work with the iphone 5 or does it need an adapter?

I'm from India too. You can get an MH1 (not MH1C) for about Rs 2000 from an ebay-india sellar:   http://www.ebay.in/itm/OEM-Original-Sony-Ericsson-MH-1-MH1-3-5mm-In-Ear-Stereo-Remote-Headset-/321257864650?pt=IN_Mobile_Accessories&hash=item4acc75fdca   These ship with only one extra pair of...

Did you try removing the foam behind the filters too - might be worth a shot. My first pair of MH1s ended up with very low sound on both sides after a couple of days of use. I tried recabling them but it didn't help. Turned out the filters were faulty - when I removed them the sound level was...

Quote:   So, my filters seem to be faulty .. Has any one tried experimenting with different filters/filter-materials? I can't really understand why they'd suddenly stop sound getting through ... the glue on them melted??? These are the ones with the white dot in the black circle. Wonder if...

Crap2 ....  if you keep buying from that seller there won't be any extras left for me to mod, give away as presents .... or even just keep so I have a lifelong supply (coz they're such a steal)!

  Might not be a driver issue. I bought an MH1 and within a couple of days both sides went really quiet. Tried the hairdryer etc and finally gave up on them. Then, many months later, about week ago, I tried them again but they were still the same. Tried a recable - still the same...
