So heres the problem>>>>> when i first plugged it in my music would glitch , a head set icon came up not the head phone........ then the pic of the album cover would flip 6 times then jump the play list all the way to the end but the playlist wasnt ON random .......that sh*t broke my heart !!! Y my EVO ???........ anyway i called sprint and there advanced tect lol basiclly told me 2 take the batt out wait 3 min then put it back, so then i hooked it back up and it worked 4 a few minutes then started jumpin again ........... so sick to my stomach i just started pluggin it in and out (( slowly )) until the head phone icon came up and it would play PERFECT>>>>> oh and my gold tip head phone work great from the start ........ i also ordered a gold tip 3.5 male to male audio cable it should work perfect try it !!!!!

No issue here with any type of headphones.

Only headphone jack issue is with the FM Radio (using headphones as antenna), all other apps use it just fine for audio output. Hardware 0003.

Three different sets (two shures and a random off-brand) worked awfully on the FM Radio. If it was plugged in all the way, it failed to recognize it at all, a little pull and it thought it was a headset, and a little more and it finally worked but the headphones were on the verge of falling out. After that I just kind of wrote it off, although Mughato's post has motivated me to try it out on other apps...

Either way, I don't care too much since the evo is incapable of holding my entire music library...I use an ipod for that.
