Since the Note 2 does not come with headphones, does anyone recommend any good headphones w/ Mic and Volume control that will work. Still cannot believe they did not come with headphones.

My Note2 through US Cellular came with headphones. They are pretty bad so your not missing much. I have some Klipsch S4s and they are wonderful. The best sound you can get without paying an exorbitant amount of money. Every place I have seen them reviewed they are beating out headphones of similar price and even beating headphones that cost 4 or 5 times as much.

My pair are for the iphone because thats what I used to have but the only difference is the button module thing.

I'm using the Apple EarPods until I can find a replacement. The pause/play button does work but the volume controls do not. And the mic doesn't work because Apple has a different the band configuration on the plug. So I guess we shouldn't by any headphones unless they are specifically for Android. Let us know if you find a good pair!

I was just looking into headphones as well as my apple ones just ripped.
These do look good - is there a version that has controls (volume, next song, etc) that work with the Note 2?

I like the LG HBS-700, bluetooth headset. It's a dual earbud set that has a long battery life, up to 10 hours. It has a go-forward and go-back rocker, volume rocker, make and receive phone button, start and stop music or audio book button, and an on/off switch.
You hardly notice it's around your neck, and earbud wires are short and never get tangled. Earbuds are real comfortable and produce good sound. They rarely fall out of your ear because of design and light weight.
Of about six different wired, and three different wireless sets I've tried, the LG's are the best in my opinion. Amazon - $43, free shipping. 4.5 stars out of ~ 2000 reviews!

Interesting...so these are bluetooth...but have wires. Strange. I'm not sure I like that black hair piece thing hanging around my neck? Wouldn't that make it impossible to run or exercise with?

I'm not sure if the Klipsch s4a would work with the note or not, I'm guessing they would but you would have to try em out I guess.

Haven't tried running with them, but they are perfect for walking, hiking and bicycling. The neck piece is so light you hardly notice them on. The wired earbuds inadvertently confirm your headset stays on your neck.
