About Philips Headset

Philips created this simple and nifty app to be your ultimate Philips headset companion. The Philips Headset app allows you to customize the in-line controller button, select the best sound profile explicitly tuned for your Philips headset and easily customize the sound profile of your Android smartphone.

The Philips Headset app runs in the background with almost no CPU loading and preset with pre-defined button controls already. Users can also customize the button with the following selections:

Music/Call management:
Play/pause
Next track
Previous track
Answer call
End call
Reject call
Volume up/down

To select a suitable sound profile it’s effortlessly simple. Under ‘Headset’ sound will auto adjust to fit with your selected Philips headset model. If one prefers to customize their sound profile, choose the manual option under ‘Sound’ to tune and personalize your sound preference for an individual sound experience.

Why MySound doesn’t work properly with my phones?

- The app doesn't work with the default player of some Samsung phones. We suggest you try to use music player like Mixzing, PowerAMP, Winamp, DoubleTwist, Songbird etc.

- If the app still doesn’t work with your phone even you used the suggested music player, it is probably due to the music player setting. Please go to setting and activate the in-control option.
- If the app still doesn’t work with your phone even you used the suggested music player, it is probably due to the music player setting. Please set up the song playlist and use it with my MySound.

Phones that don't work with the app:

- The app doesn't work with HTC Beats as it has its own Beats sound system and overrides external equalizer control.
- The app doesn't work with phones from Sony Ericsson and older Samsung phones with Android platform and it is due to different 3,5mm pin configuration they are using. This requires extra connector to be compatible with. Please go to our customer support for help if needed.

If the Android headset app is topped by the system’s setting menu or a powerful app killer, you will only need to re launch the app again. Just plugging the headset will not initiate the app as it is the first time.

Disclaimer:

1) In Android 4.1 Jelly Bean, the long press command are reserved by the Google Now (personal assistant). It causes the Headset app could not react to the long press assigned operation.
2) Nexus 7 has disabled the headset control pin in its 3.5 mm audio connector which causes the Headset app fail to function.

Got my SHS8105A. Installed this app to improve sound quality. After selecting my headset model tried to set up the way I like my music sound like. No difference no matter I place the dot. Also volume limiter doesn't work. Tried this app on two different Roms. No luck. Please fix and will update my rating. Thank you.

Am struggling to set my standard 1 button samsung earphone to have prev&next function similar like my nokia xpressmusic earphone. This app save my day! love it!now even with 1 button, i can change the music track without looking at my smartphone. recommended!

The whole 'sound' system saves the preference ok, but if you unplug and replug the headset, you need to go back and move the 'sound' color selector and hit save again for it to apply the correct eq. Nice overall program, just one annoying and easy to fix bug. #fixitplz

I have used iPods for 10 years. When I made the switch to android my only regret was that I couldn't control my music via my earphones so I continued to carry an iPod with apple earphones for music only. This app alongside my new SHE 3595 earphones mean I can finally ditch that iPod for good.

Should i uninstall the app till u publish a version compatible with kitkat 4.4.2? The music player/sound cloud shortcut on the lock screen is not shown while using the app also makes my note 3 crashes & needed to restart several times. More than 2 months waiting for the update. Firstly i thought it's my phone and i reset it to factory setting and it did not work.

This app works very good with my Motorola and sony earbuds, which is weird.. because Sony's app didn't work.. thanks! (I only use it to play and pauze music. Not fancy stuff..)

I am using SG note 2, i found that when the handset is using pattern or password locking, the playback function will not work, but if the music is already playing, it can make it stop. Also, the double taps need to be slow otherwise will be ignored. But other than those small issue, i am very happy using this app.

Issue with disappearing Google Music widget on lockscreen seems to be finally solved. Now this app deserves five stars.

When you switched off this app it desreases your handset volume level but when you switch it on it automatically increases its level and feels like that this app increases your volume level and making us fool.

Found this app accidentally and it works great. I'm using an ifone headset with my galaxy phone. I would like to see the long-press options come back. I used to see those for some of the controls but not any more.

It does what is supposed to do and it does it good. Only thing missing is that it doesn't work with the FM-radio...

Users not know the power of this app. Always use this app with player equalizer. Means player equalizer and philips headset working on same time then you found superb sound quality. This app adds power in your music.

Simply superb app.....if anyone is having problems using it then I will suggest u to first disable the equalizer of the music app being used, then add the music app from control option of Philips headset and finally set the desired sound profile from my sound option......after all this is done press the save button and re enable the music app equalizer.

Why sell products to consumer if app won't be updated! I just got myself a pair of Philips Freshtone Bluetooth (SHB5250). Sound Quality are okay and 3rd party apps won't cut it! Philips get your act together. Update app and provide better software support for your products!

Converted Low quality sound to superb Bass. Deliver superb sound through SHS8I05A HS model.. But major problem detected is that my phone automatically rebooted when I plug in HS to 3.5 mm audio jack. I think its just application problem. Otherwise its superb.

I always wanted to control my music on my Samsung stock headphones for my Note 4. I needed a solution to make the track go backwards or so I can repeat a song. This app did the trick. Thank you guys, now I do not have to invest in expensive headphones that have full music track control.

I really like this app. But sometime I need to switch to another music player app, and this headset controller can not support that . this app will still only play or pause the default music player that has been set before . Please consider my suggestion

It's free and it's better than the paid for apps. It also works with non-Phillips earpod ! Try it !

The predecessor headset (I'll not name the supplier) sounded at least as good without any app. The customising of controls is a nice idea, but boils down to 2 choices. Phone controls are not supported for my Moto. It might be a coincidence, but my Moto did not crash a single time in 5 months. Since I use this headset, there was not a single day without system restart. I cannot wait for the delivery. ... Actually, it's not a coincidence. By now my Moto crashes consistently every time I plug in the headset.
