I bought the SHQ3017 to use with my Android phone while commuting and running. Unfortunately the in-line volume control does not work even after trying it with two diffferent Android phones (HTC annd Samsung). Because the spec only mentions iPhone compatibility I had checked with Philips support in advance and they assured me in writing that the inline controls would work with Android. Another issue I have with this headset is that they are uncomfortable to wear after about a half an hour. The headset appears to me to be over-engineered compared to the SH4800. I have used the SH4800 running and cycling in all types of weather and never had any problems with sweat or rain. The SH4800 also fits better and is more comfortable.

Just purchased these and have no quibbles over quality. Love the black/red styling, excellent fit, and performance. I've used a Phillips non-sports version for 3 years and only have to replace them because I dunked them in water! The only reason I've marked these down is the cord is far too short. A little over the length of a standard newspaper page. Fine if you wear your device with an armband. No good if you carry it in pockets, or in the back of your cycle jersey pouch. I will now need to search for and buy a separate extension cord that won't degrade performance and allow me to carry my phone in my pocket: extra cost and inconvenience.

The sound coming out of this product is amazing. I love it that I don't have to adjust it while running, it does not fall of my ear and controls are practical. However, there seems to be a problem with the mic. It sometimes becomes mute and there's no troubleshooting instruction in the package. This is the second time I purchased this product and had the same problem.
