Hey guys, am bit confused last couple of days while deciding for a decent headphone. By decent, I mean in ear headphone with significant noise cancellation (dont want the disturb the person sitting next to me in train with my music play) and good quality mic for voice calls. I'm not interested in having remote in headphone for changing tracks/volume.
My budget is between 40-70 quid (£). Most of the earphones with mic advertised are for for iPhone and browsing through forums some have and haven't worked on HTC phones (especially mic).
1. Klipsch Image s4i - close to my budget, got some great reviews. but not officially supported for non-iphones
2. V-moda vibe duo - Love the chrome and vibrant red look. around 50 quid. mixed reviews. few says its great and some sites mention abt the build quality. again, if anyone using it, could you share your experience
3.bose mobile in-ear..arnd £89 but its more than 2 years old and they ahve an "improved" new version that costs around £120. way too expensive
any suggestion on good ones would be helpful.
I went for the Sennheiser Mm50ip: Iphone: Earphones.....got them from HMV for about £50. They are designed for the iphone but work on the desire and desire HD.
The mic works great, the sound is great and the answer and end button works. There are no music or volume controls but i have not found either to be a problem.
Oh and the Sennheiser's are great for music (i've bought a few different types but keep going back to them.)
Hope this helps!
Hello everyone,
I found this headset Bayerdynamic MMX 101 iE accidentally just a while ago.
If anyone has tried it, can you please write your review here?
Edit: Is the sound quality good? Microphone quality? Compatibily with Desire?
http://europe.beyerdynamic.com/shop/hah/headphones-and-headsets/sports-and-on-the-way/mmx-101.html
This has caught my eyes since a few day ago but I can not find any reviews at all.
So, any words for this headset will be very appriciated since I need one right now.
Edit: Sorry misstyping by Beyerdynamic , it should be Bayerdynamic
you couldn't find more expensive ones, could you?
hehehe

Well...€99 still belongs to the middle class..there are still more with more expensive.
I think the price range between €70-€100 is the correct range for me, more than €100 is a bit too expensive.
Remember you get what you pay.
That type is competely new and there is still no real review available...perhaps I just have to wait for some time until the review is there.
more expensive

I have found several good ones above €100 but I am not planning to go that high.
It was launched during the musikmesse/music fair just a while ago so..it's kinda new and still without any convincing review.
I will have to wait until there are more review.
Hi Im fairly new to these forums but i can tell you that you cant go wrong with these. I bought these about a week ago and have been nothing short of stunned by the quality. They have great bass and really crisp clear midrange. I would say that these are better than the sennheisers and klipschs s2i that i have.
One thing to note is that make you play around with the earbuds as if you get them wrong they sound really flat and dull so make sure you get them to seal in your ears properly.
It is also a coincidence, yesterday I met some in train on the way home after work.
I asked if I can use it for a couple of minutes in the train, and he said yes.
My review within a few minutes:
1. sound quality is incredible for the price.
2. mic is also good.
3. unfortunately, no volume control or whatsoever except a button to pick up and hang up the call. (not really a big problem, not really in need of a mic and pick up button anyway).
4. metal housing for the ear pieces is awesome.
5. the cable looks extremely fragile to me. it is thin, not braided, etc.
(I am not sure of getting this headset because of this. This is the biggest downside. My current in-ear headphone (Klipsch Image S3) has just given up or lost its life just last night, the cable got broken again. The warranty is still there, but I don't want to claim it for the third time. I just prefer a new one instead of waiting weeks for claiming. It must be something wrong with how I store the headphone in my bag ).
6. Ear plug/bud don't fit my ears perfectly, I have tried on the one attached tho'. (It could be another problem)
I also found Philips SHO9560 (O'Neal stretch). It looks super robust but doesn't have good sound relatively compared to mmx-101i. Its look is also very appealing.
Now, I'm confused.
Way too expensive for me.
For the same price (or cheaper) I would get headphones/earphones from already proven company: Sennheiser.
Update:
Phillips SHO9560 sounds teribble.
MMX101ie doesn't really fit my ear...it comes off often (unless I get the individual package, but it is too expensive)...I don't wanna get an in-ear anymore...getting something which fits my ear is just a matter of luck...
No AKG products fits my huge head size (honest), I like the sound of AKG K518 but it is too small for my head, tried also 430, 420, 520, etc....
This is official! I hate AKG! This company never thinks of people with huge head like me! It is discrimination!
Sony XD300, XD500...sounds dark (bass too strong, trebble not clear)
Dr. Dre Solo HD is too expensive for the quality I am getting.
I will look for some more...Sennheiser, Denon, Bose, etc....
What I hate is that Desire can not really pull Sennheiser PXC450 (I own one at home and I use it mostly during flights or at home)....volume gets too low even on max.
Sh*t it is not easy to find the correct one!
Late response!
I just found this thread after looking into the MMX101 iEs myself - what was your solution in the end? I really like these headphones and fortunately they fit my ears; unfortunately though, the mic and answer button did not work, so I'm having to send them back. Hopefully the replacements will work fine!
Did you settle on over-ear headphones in the end? Given your situation I would have recommended the Sony MDR-V500 - great headphones, excellent range, solid bass response which is punchy but doesn't overwhelm the mid-range, and amazingly cheap considering!
Hope you managed to get this sorted anyway.
I've got these. Nothing short of awesome. The sound quality at all levels is incredibly crisp and you don't use any equaliser settings/tweaks as the ear phones sort all that out for you. Had mine for two years now and need a new set and will definitely buy the same ones again.
Also get 3 pairs of different size buds depending on what suits your ear best.
Someone can confirm the microphone and remote of Beyerdynamic MMX-101 works with android?
Thanks

That does not depend on OS (Android, iOS, Windows). The "problem" is different layout of rings on the 3.5mm connector with different phone manufacturers ("microphone" and "ground" rings are swapped). It's natively compatible with iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch, Blackberry and HTC. If you want them to work correctly with Nokia, Sony, Samsung, Motorola, LG and other models you have to buy a separate adaptor.
I bought V-Moda M100 in the end.
It is expensive but worth every single penny I spent

Hello people...
Just thought I'd share.
I bought a pair of Sandstrom bluetooth headphones today from PC World. They were only £30, so I figured that wasn't much of a punt.
I already have a good pair of wired headphones, but constantly opening the flap on the phone annoys me - and is an avenue for dust to enter the chassis.
Anyway... I wasn't expecting much, but I have to say I'm impressed! - The sound quality isn't quite as good as my wired set, but I'm more than happy with the sound for listening to music while out and about (which is when I'm more concerned having the flap open in my pocket).
They also have a built in mic, so you can take calls. And there are music controls.
Have to say - £30 well spent.

My recommend is Sony SBH20 or Sony MW600S. Currently I'm using MW1 and happy with it. But, in your case, I prefer MW600s, it has display so you'll easily find the song you wanna hear.
MW600s comes with 170 mah battery, bluetooth core ver 2.1
SBH20 comes with 110 mah battery, bluetooth core v3.0
Maybe SBH20 provide a better battery management than MW600s,

Hey guys,
Intro: Since our phone is water-resistant and pulling these claps to plug the headphones in 10 times per day is annoying, I am finally ready to consider a bluetooth solution with a mic (which I still do not really trust, but let's give it a shot!). I would like thus to revive this thread, by sharing my thoughts on the subject.
I would strongly advice to check these threads first :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2273429&highlight=bluetooth
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2229347&highlight=bluetooth - Would really love Tom Fagerland to come back and give us an update
My expectations: First, I would like to explain what do I need. In this way, we are not going to argue about a detail when we actually look for different things. You can thus point-out how different your needs are and therefore would like a different headset.
quality: I need a decent one, no more. While on the go, I mostly listen audio books through Ambling Book Player. The music is for home on normal speakers.That's been said, NO MUTANTS CUTS ALLOWED.
in-ear: those are the smallest ones and I really need to be able to put the headphones in a small pocket.
headset battery: I live and sleep with my headphones, I thus need something around 8h of autonomy, (This is why I have not considered bluetooth before, remember the 3h of autonomy max?)
phone battery drain: the use of of Bluetooth headset should not make our XZ deplete in an hour. I'm not a specialist but isn't it strongly linked with BT technology? The newer the better? So for us, BT 3.0 is better than 2.0?
full compatibility with XZ : I would like it to work well with our particular phone. Obviously. I do not plan to change phone for couple of years, so no matter the work with other devices. More, I would hardly bear some functions of the headset which are not working with XZ. Would feel like a waste.
Price: I am not ready to give more than 100 bucks.
Display : Not required. Good if there is one, but not critical
Radio : No need
Sd-card : No need
In addition : general comfort and build quality
Eliminated ones :
LG Tone hbs-700 : does not seem confortable enough, does not fit in a pocket
Samsung BHS3000 : 6 hours autonomy, clip easy to break
Jaybird Bluebuds X: 169$!!! Does it have a mic anyway?
Novero Rockway: 5.5 hours autonomy
....
Main candidates:
Sony SBH20 : seems good overall, but has only 6 hours of autonomy. Confirm?
Sony MW600 and MW600s: First, what is the difference between those two? It seems that they were firstly made for phones likes SE k800i (before android) and not all the functions work properly on android phones. True story?
Sony SBH50 : when to expect the release? What would be the price you think? Something special in comparison with MW1?
Sony MW1: seems a very good one in theory, but has apparently to many possible bugs and dysfunctions. I would give it a try, but I want to be able to give it back if too many bugs happen to occur. I am currently in Belgium and can't find any place to buy it here, even online on sony website!!! If bought abroad on ebay for example I fear that giving it back will be impossible/too complicated
What have I forgot?
I have noticed something interesting. On the sony website, both the SBH20 and SBH50 are advertised in this way : "Go great with : Xperia Z", while XZ is not among perfect partners of MW1. I understand that marketing can sometimes be a strange thing, but isn't there a REAL reason for that?

I just got a Nokia bh-221 yesterday, I just thought the same, it will be annoying to have to open the flaps every time.
The reason I went to Nokia was because I'm happy with the play 360 speakers.
This headset has a screen, but it just displays the phone number when someone is calling (or the person's name if it is in your contacts) and the battery status.
The quality is good, it has 7h of battery life (haven't been able to test it yet), it comes with a nice decent headphones but you can use every headphone you want.
It also has NFC so you can connect faster, but after the first connection, just make sure the BT on your phone is on before you turn the headset on.
The volume is a bit low, but I think it's a problem with the Z, need to test with the sound addons after rooting.
I noticed a delay in audio when playing video, I will test it tomorrow with a HTC 8X, to see if I get the same latency.

Thanks for sharing, waiting for the test results.
Just to say, these kind of problems (delays, limited screen functions...) are the ones making me reluctant towards buying other than Sony's headphones. Even though it can be a super set on its own, I'm almost sure to find some partial compatibility or even dysfunctions.

The screen functions is not a problem, is just a Nokia feature, not showing the music name...
The lags, i just tested on my 8X and I see no lag at all... I had the same problems with another philips BT headset, I think it may be an Android problem... What other OS does is just delay the video also, so both audio and video will stay in sync.
I searched for solutions, and found a lot of people with this problem, but no solution till now.

No, there are different people with different phones and headset with the same problem... I think the only (android) device i had where BT audio has synced with the video was the Galaxy Nexus.
Choose Headset.
If you want the best available sound quality and a good MIC and the most reliable accessories then stay between MW600 and MW1. i had both of them.
for you both are GREAT! but my MW600 did a lot of restarts all the time! i couldn't update it so i had to get used to it. i don't know about the latest one but before 5 years that's was my experience. my opinion...go get the MW1 with closed eyes :silly:

Thanks, will probably try a WM1. Just wondering if waiting till SBH-50 wouldn't be wiser...
Anyway,
I can't find any retailer selling this in Belgium. Will have to buy it on amazon. Does someone know if it is easy to return the item? I want to try it first. If it's ok I keep it, if not (as for sooooo many users after some research) I want to be able to get my money back.

I think Amazon is our only option.
I've compared the stats from the sbh-50 and the mw1 and it seems that the mw1 will still be better. Guess I'll be waiting for the mw2 if/whenever that comes out.

Hello, man! Did you get your MW1? How is it doing nowadays? I am about to buy two units for my brother and me, and would not want a fiasco, because I have read many comments that the device doesn't work fine with firmware 1.0A.1.6 or so.
Please, tell me, which is the firmware version which is working fine with? Is it 0.1.D.0.6 the device is working perfectly? Do you recommend this headset?
For me this is the most complete and feature packed Bluetooth headset today, I am about to buy it.
Are all its features working in Android 5.1.1?
Please help me! Thank you!
Ever since I got my Galaxy S4 I’ve been looking for earphones (in-ear/earbuds) with an inline remote with full control.
Today I received my a-Jays Five and I could not be happier. Everything from the packaging to the earphones screams quality.
It comes in a very sturdy box with a velvety feel to it. Inside is a manual (not going to read that), a cable clip, extra sleeves and of course the earphones. The earphones come in a handy round “carry case” with a crew on lid.
The flat cable is nice and chunky. The remote is a simple 3 button remote but very sturdy and the response on the buttons is perfect. They have a free app jays.headsetcontrol that you can fine tune the controls but I’ve not bothered as it works exactly like I hoped it would.
I’m not a music connoisseur but I am really happy with the sound quality and I can only compare it to my Bose MIE2i earphones. All I wanted is decent set of earphones with good sound quality to use on my daily commute to and from work. The a-Jays Five is exactly what I was looking for. You can find all the info on their website, I just thought I would share my excitement and a couple of pictures.
Just a quick update - 07/10: I've been using the earphones for little than a week now and thought I would update with a few details.
What I like:
1) I am happy with the sound quality. Even better if you use a app with an equalizer.
2) The in-line control works really well (you don't need the app). No issues switching between music and phone calls
3) Mic is loud and clear even in a noisy environment
What I don't like
1) The cable clip works but it's crap. The cable is durable but on the heavy side and without the clip it might cause "strain on your ears"
2) The cable sleeving is hard and hard bumps against the cable get transferred to the earbuds.
These two negative points annoy me but won't make me stop using the earphones or make me look for the next pair of perfect earphones. I just don't know what the fuss is with the flat cables and if the a-Jays Five had the "old fashion" softer round sleeving it would have been even better.

where did you get it from. they don't even have it on amazon yet was it $99
Hey ho,
nice to read this.
I was a huge fan of a-Jays and already got a-Jays three and One, both on my iPod Classic.
But after a 3/4 year i screamed in Agony as i notice a cable break with both of them,
one time at the Plug and one time at at one of the earpieces.
I hope the are more durable now... because the sound and shielding of outside noises are just perfect.
On the other side 99$ is a big chunk for just a Headset.
So anyway thanks for the Review
Best Regards

They have a 2 year warranty on the speakers and 1 year on the cable...
Like I said the cable is really thick and I can't see it getting damaged from use unless you want too.
The noise cancelling is great, I don't like to listen to my music at stupidly loud levels and I could not hear the train on my commute home today!
Personally I feel that was £80 well spent.

I don't have the gear to do a video review...
However I am more than happy to do a short review after I've used it for a couple of days.
Middle button (media) - Single press is Play/Pause. Double is skip track forward.
Middle button (call) - Single press is Answer/Reject
Top button is volume up
Bottom button is volume down
It's pretty standard but I've only used it once yesterday on my way home.
Thanks

I don't have the gear to do a video review...
However I am more than happy to do a short review after I've used it for a couple of days.
Middle button (media) - Single press is Play/Pause. Double is skip track forward.
Middle button (call) - Single press is Answer/Reject
Top button is volume up
Bottom button is volume down
It's pretty standard but I've only used it once yesterday on my way home.

Hey 1 more thing the box is soft touch plastic right?
Hi
Have been keeping an eye out for reviews for this, you seem to have been one of the first!! I'm surprised none of the main sites have done a review yet.
Quick question, have you had a chance to check out the mic quality?
Also, does the volume up / down actually work? Do you need to use the app for that, or does it do it out of the box?
They are pretty much double the price of the one+, but if there is a marked improvement overall in quality might considering buying a pair.

It's a hard plastic case, about the same diameter as a can of Coke.

I made a phone call while traveling by train and my wife said it was crystal clear.
The volume control works perfect out of the box. I don't use the app at all and did not have it on my phone when I started using the earphones. I might get the app now to play with the button delay times. There's nothing wrong with the timing but I just want to see how customisable it is.
Updated the original post...
Nice
Changed my mind about getting them decided to wait till december and get them as a christmas gift im 13 btw
I've got mine today and I'm not sold yet...I think they look very ugly when I have them on. It looks like I'm a doctor wearing a stethoscope. can you take a picture of yourself wearing them? Black out your face if you want I just want to see how they look on other ppl.
the tangles are so hard. they are completely out of shape because they've been rolled up in the box on their journey. I can' seem to "fix" that.
edit: also how is that cableclip supposed to work? I've never used one before and I don't get it's purpose. It's not described very well in the user manual (maybe ppl just know how these work but I don't )

i would but mine havenet came in yet sorry
Finally managed to pick them up today for c. US$84.
So, just to update, total failure with Nexus products.
With both the Nexus 4 and the Nexus 7 with the a-jays headset app installed, checking with the headset monitor, for the Nexus 4 the top and bottom buttons were not even recognised. With the Nexus 7 using the headset monitor the top and bottom buttons were recognised, but the functionality was exactly the same as the middle button. No conflicts detected and three button headset selected.
Can confirm the AJays Fives work on the N5. I however think for the price they are very average earphones.
Can anyone recommend ear buds with pause and volume buttons (like the one that comes with the Note 4) that's in black? If I remember correctly, most (all?) 3rd party headphones with volume buttons didn't work on the note 2.
I'll test my Amazon magnetics when I get my N4 tomorrow. Worked great with N3...
Try the xiaomi piston, there's 3 buttons: volume up and down with pkay/pause. I tried it on shuttle+ player and it works great.
Just following up the Amazon magnetic earbuds working great. Pause/play for Google Music, hangs up if on a call (not a mute button!). I've got a semi-thick Spigen 'tough armor' case and has no issues getting full connection or blockage from the wrapper, etc.
Well, I can recommend some black earbuds with inline mic/controls that are FANTASTIC.... they're just not wired I've got the Jaybird Bluebuds X bluetooth earbuds, they're hands down the best earbuds I've ever owned. Little on the $$ side at around $130 - $160, but TOTALLY worth it. The sound quality is amazing, they actually sound better than my wired Bose earbuds (given, they're the lower end of the Bose line, but still!). The mic and controls all work great, I get good feedback all the time for call clarity when using them and the controls do what they're supposed to. And best of all, no cords to get knotted up! Basically it's just the earbuds with a single flat cord running between them, the buds are barely bigger than normal wired earbuds, I don't even notice a difference. Battery life is 8 Hours of play time/30+ hours standby on a full charge and I've confirmed that through my own use, I'm definitely not constantly worried about running out of juice. All in all I highly recommend them!
Thanks for the responses.. I'd never heard of Xiaomi, but after reading a review I decided to order a set and give them a whirl.
What about the Samsung HS130, they are $20 but if you create a new Samsung account online and register your note you should get 50% coupon. The HS330 are $30 but white.
The problem with buying them cheaper from Amazon 3rd party or Ebay is that a lot of people claim to have received fakes. Even reading reviews on Pistons on Amazon there are a lot of people that claim fakes though mostly they are other sellers. The ones under $20 for the most part ship from Asia.

It's a great pair for the value. Make sure you get it from a legit buyer (I bought it on amazon but make sure you read the reviews).

You will like the Xiaomi. Make sure you get a real set and not a fake set. I have been very very happy with these for the the price of $24 bucks. I use the eq on the note 4 and they sound even better now.
I was a bit worried about getting fakes. I got these ones.

Seems legit. And he sent me a series of photos of him mailing the package

If you're rooted, try viper4android for better sound.

Check post 1 of the link above if you want to ensure you are getting real Xiaomi Pistons. I ordered a pair through Robert's SuperStore tonight.
