What earphones/headphones are you using for your N1?

I have a Soundmagic PL-30 for music...I know it's nothing spectacular, but it's good for the money
I'm looking to upgrade though, might want to hear what other users are using

Beats by Dre (Tour w/ controltalk)

I use AKG K390NC

er, are you just looking for headphone suggestions? Same as any other PMP?
I use Sennheiser CX300, cheap enough on Amazon (** below) but amazingly better than my previous pair, but my next pair I'll go ahead and spend a little more I think. These are really the low end of the mid-range. They spend 98% of their time in my Creative Zen, but hey, I've used 'em on the N1 a time or two.
** Be very careful buying headphones anywhere, there are tons of fakes out there. If you buy 'em on Amazon for example, only buy them from Amazon, ie: Amazon LLC is the seller. At least that way you'll have a better chance of them being real and returning them if they are not. Do research into any set of headphones, but also research the fakes so you can identify if yours are fake when you receive them!

I'm using Ultimate Ears SuperFi but I really love Monter Beats Solo

I just bought some Sony's that have the track control and they're really comfortable and have better bass then the included ones.
Sony MDR-EX38iP
http://www.amazon.com/Sony-MDREX38iP-BLK-Earbud-Control/dp/B002M78JA2
$32.29
Volume doesn't work... but gets the job done.

Stock headphones for working out or when I am on a call.
Etymotic Research ER-4 for when I care about audio quality a little bit, but not enough to use my real cans or my home system.

I am using the Motorola s305 very confortable, the keys all work and they sound pretty good.
http://www.amazon.com/Motorola-S305-Bluetooth-Stereo-Headset/dp/B002BH3I9U

I'm using Monster Turbines and JAYS q-JAYS. The Turbines sound a little better on the N1 most of the times cause the bass can be a little weak with the q-JAYS since there's no EQ to adjust it.

Klipsch
Klipsch Image S4 I use them exclusively, and they were well worth every penny!

I have the Ultimate Ears triplefi 10Vi. these sound awesome and have a mic too..
also the mute button on the wire allows skipping tracks

I know I'm a heretic but iphone earphones with mic,
Work great straight out the box

It's really amazing how well the Nexus One fairs against it's competitors (namely the stinking iPhone), in terms of sound quality.

I'm using the Nokia BH-503. Excellent call quality, awesome battery life (takes 45 mins to charge and lasts for about 12 hours non stop), great range and nice sound quality. The mid-ranges are a bit over powered but its not too bad.

Thanks for the tip. I checked out some reviews of them and they don't look bad. After my Shure SCL4's starting having issues I've been looking for jogging headphones. Figured for $25 I can't go wrong.

Best In-ear Headphones (use at gym)?

What are the best in-ear headphones that has a mic and buttons for use while on the phone? I plan on using mostly at the gym. Thanks.

Bump, I would love to know too, thats the only time I really use my pandora.

I use the ear phones with mic from my old samsung epic 4g. There in ear thus canceling outside noise and have good bass boost, heck they sound better than iPhone earphones and as far as noise canceling goes I work as a forklift driver and I can barely hear a thing.

Motorola HT820 Bluetooth - not "in-year" but perfect for gym.

JayBird Freedom JF3
These are pretty much probably the best wireless bluetooth headphones out there. Also it's only $100 dollars. You can get it at Best Buy or the website.

earphone suggestions?

Looking for some decent/quality earphones that has a working end call/pickup buttons and volume rocker for this phone. Does anyone have suggestions?
I listen to almost anything, but mainly R&B and hiphop. Thanks

Meelectronics has good, cheap solutions that actually sound very good.

It would help if you listed a budget, since headphones can go from $2 to thousands of dollars very easily.

All you need to know: Shure

I think I would say the absolute highest id pay is like 100. But that's a little steep. I'm aiming for around 30-40 and quality. just seeing what's a good bang for your buck that would certainly be an upgrade to cheapo stock iPhone ones. And The samsung ones the phone came with, the left earbud stopped working a couple days ago. And I haven't even played it that loud.
Thanks for the suggestions

For under $40, I'd go Meelectronics, for sure. In fact, the exact ones I linked you.

I bought my Shure 115's for 55 on Amazon. A little out of your budget of 30-40 though. At that range, I'd definitely look at the sennheisers. I had the CX300's and loved them.

and just to confirm the ones you guys listed, the button controls (volume) work for the phone?
i appreciate the help yall

My bad, I totally missed out on the volume control part of your original post... The Shure's I have don't have controls, but I know they have a version that has it. Not sure if it works though.
The Sennheisers do not have controls.
V-Moda is another brand that I think does well with hip-hop music, and I know they have phones that have controls on the wires.

Yup - if you were looking for generic headphone ideas I'd be able to help, but the volume/call control/mic stuff leads to "no clue".
In my opinion, Skullcandy headphones with Comply foam eartips provide great "bang for the buck" but I have no idea whether their call control features work with our phones. My Skullcandy Titans are plain vanilla "listen only" units.

so based on some searching around.. there really aren't any headphones that allow u to use the volume controls for the phone (or any android phone for that matter). this sucks.

Those don't work with Android apparently for the controls. They just released these for that very purpose.
But yeah, on a budget, you can't beat these earbuds for sound quality.

The one that came with the phone dont do it for you? im on the same boat as you music wise and after im done listening to music i need some time to recuperate my hearing back. sounds all smuffled.
what im saying is that the ones that come with the phone are fine. good bass. i really like them.

I have iBeats, and really like them but the volume rocker does not work. would be nice if it did

you wont find volume rocker support, just a single button where the function depends on the app. i think it has to do with android not having a set standard on pin-out so the app developers dont write these things in (there are i think 4 posible pinouts, 2 posible ground loop locations of those pinouts, the i9000 and vibrant are different from and completely incompatable with the captivate and infuse do to a different ground loop location, not sure which standard the other sgs devices use..) you need a single button set of headphones with a mic that is compatable with the iphone, not the vibrant/i9000.
i hear that dennon makes amazing headphones in the <$40 range. year shure and klipsh and etymotics are great but for what you are looking for the dennons are about the best in that price range. dont go with the ibeats monster doesnt know jack about headphones and all there products are grossely overprices, i bought them out of curiosity and yeah they're loud, have nice packaging and good build quality but the sound isnt so impressive.

The left ear speaker blew. So that's why Im in the market for some decent ones. I was thinking of just ebaying the same OEM ones. But that Klipsh s4a is sorta intriguing. Pricey though. I'll take a look at the dennons. Thanks.

If you are willing to spend $50 then I'd recommend the Plantronics BackBeat 903+. They are bluetooth with builtin working call controls, pause/play button (tested and works with pandora and music player apps), and volume control buttons.
Yes they are pricey but with all those features and being completely wireless (minus the cord that connects the 2 ear pieces) they are well worth it. The sound quality is awesome IMO.
Edit: Here'e the link for them on Amazon.

looks cool, never tried. but even this app doesn't add volume rocker support. it is not a feature availible on android as far as i know. this app interperates the single button press and relays the command to android. volume control is accomplished by a long press or something.
but i can confirm that you want apple compatible headphones, just ones with a single button, not 3! the ground ring and control ring are identical to the iphone. do not buy headphones labeled for the galaxy s if there is such a thing. att must have spec'd the headphones to be iphone compatible to ensure there headsets for the iphone would work. there are atleast 4 standards for pinouts and the european sgs and the vibrant and others use a different standard.

[Q]headphones for moto x 2014

I recently bought a moto x and I love it coming from a galaxy note 3. I was wondering what kind of headphones do people use for their moto x? I myself will probably use the headphones mostly at the gym and if I could still use the hand less features if I could.

You're not going to believe me but these are GREAT. Nothing compares to the sound of these within at least $30. And I have tried a ton of brands. Don't let the price deter you. It comes with 3 sizes of rubber fitting things.
Edit: No mic. Still recommend for excellent audio.

These are pretty good bluetooth headphones that I got on sale about 3 weeks ago for 15 bucks.they work really well and the sound isn't bad either,you can get a higher volume than what the bluetooth volume says on your phone.

Over-ear, traditional buds, or in-ear? Wired or blue-tooth.
My preference for workout is wired buds (I don't like the rubber in-ear ones as much). I have some Motorola, Senhouser (sp?), and an old pair from blackberry. I actually like the blackberry ones best. I see them offered all the time for $5 or so.

Degauss Pocket headphones don't work
I'm also on the hunt for headphones after switching from iPhone - I want in ear wired buds that let me use in-line controls. I ordered the Sol Republic Jax from the motorola website, which are single button version. With the headset control app, it works ok, letting me pause and play music, pick up calls, and even skip tracks and control volumes although with an annoying two (forward), three (back) and four (volume) clicks. But i think the mic is too far down the headphones, it knocks against my jackets and doesn't pick up sound well when i make calls outside, which is where i mostly use my headphones to make calls from.
So I ordered a pair of Degauss Labs Pocket headphones, advertised as 3 button android headphones. Got them today, they don't even work as single button headphones, so annoying. With the headphones plugged in and nothing playing, I can hear soft clicks when i press the buttons so I know something is being transmitted by the buttons, but nothing happens on my phone, even with the Degauss headphone controller app. Sad, because they're great looking headphones with good sound and the mic is positioned (logically) close to your face.
And the hunt continues - any suggestions for good earbuds with at least a 1 button but ideally 3 button in line control that isn't set up to be the Y splitter of the headphone cord (ie halfway down my body)?

Wired headphones I would like one with a mic so that. I. Don't have to touch my phone. I would like to be able to just leave it in my pocket and say " ok google play..." and well I guess use the same features as if the phone was on the table. Not sure if it would do that with just any hardphones since I don't have any yet.
I have seen the jay bird bluetooth ear buds are a winner with most people but don't know how they work on the moto x

LG HBS 900's.

Yuin Pk2 with Yurbuds sleeves. I own thousands upon thousands of dollars worth of headphones and those are my go-to set. Hands down the best sounding, most musical, and just downright fun pair of buds you can get for under $100. And the Yurbuds sleeves make them comfortable enough to wear all day long and improve the bass response a fair amount. They don't have any buttons, but I'd much rather have an amazing set of headphones with no buttons than a mediocre set with them.

I've got Shure E2Cs that are a decade old (amazing build quality), VSONIC R04 Pros and a couple sets of the $7 Monoprice earbuds. For the gym, running and general wandering around town, the monoprice ones are what I use. Pretty darn durable, sound pretty good and so cheap I don't worry about 'em. When you're moving you're going to be hearing your body and the cord and not paying that much attention, so why spend $$$ on anything other than good fit, decent clarity and some good bass?

I have Yamaha EPH100SL for mobility and Bowers & Wilkins P5 for everything else.

Jesus does anyone have anything reasonable in price that has a mic and controls?
These threads always turn into a brag fest who has the most expensive stuff.

I just got the Aftershokz Bluez 2 Bluetooth headphones and they are seriously slick. They use bone conduction and rest on your cheekbones in front of your ears so there is nothing that goes in or on your ears leaving them wide open. You can listen to music and still hear everything making them great for work. The sound quality isn't the greatest but considering their convenience, it's more than acceptable. They work as a normal bluetooth headset too so you can make calls with them too. I'd check 'em out, they're really neat!

Well, I use a cheap pair of old Blackberry ear buds most of the time, as I have a bunch of them and keep a set in the car, my desk, etc. I prefer the ear bud style to these new in-ear things. My recommendation is always Sennheiser. The old MX line are my choice if I don't want a microphone (based on them being buds). The new CX 5.00 look really nice. MM70s are probably the best suited to standard Android phones. I have HD 280 Pros for home use, about 4 times the size of my phone.
To use them at the gym, I would go bluetooth. Something like a Motorola S10, S11, or SF 500. They can be had for $50 or less and let you put your phone down someplace safe.

EtymotIc HF2. Same pair I've used for M8, Nexus 5, MotoX (OG). Nothing specific or special per phone.

soundmagic mp-21, but it just has one button, soundquality is excellent expecially for a set less than 30 euros, there also is the E10M, which has 3 buttons but only one works in android they say (but that might be oem specific) for less than 50 euros. Google them, I think many audiophiles believe you cannot get better value for money

I have my old Motorola X 2013 headphones, great enough

How about Amazon headphones. Well better than their $10 price tag and the magnet feature is cool.

I'm going to post this again..
Trust me on these GREAT sound. Arguably better than most in ear headphones under $50. You can't lose for $8.

Any BT that uses apt x codec will sound great for being bt headphones. The jaybird x are nice as they support apt x. As well as many of the LG tone headphones.

i have the z10 currently therefore i am estatic to get my n4
my budget is up to 100 but the more cost effective, the better so i can spend more on other accessories!

I have own the jaybirds x for a while now. Couldn't be happier with them. Sure they are a bit expensive but in my opinion worth every penny. My backup pair is the Motorola s10. The range is awesome on them. I could run a 1/8 mile track and never lose signal with my device.

I love my jaybirds bluebuds x they have amazing sound

The jay birds are the best, i found the next best at a fair price to be the Plantronics backbeat 2 to be the next best thing. Great sound good range and small footprint. People have claimed poor battery life. I avagerage about 5 to 6 hours of constant use. They claim 4 to 6 from the company i believe. Can be purchased around 50 dollars.

I've tried two models of the LG Tone with my Note 2. At times they sounded horrible, and also frequently cut the microphone out; the people on the call thought I hung up but I could still hear them but they couldn't hear me. That seemed to be a software issue on the Note 2. And it also got to where the headphones were staticy or went out even though they were only 2 feet from the phone. A reboot 90% of the time fixed those problems for a while.
So far I haven't experienced that with the Note 4 thankfully.

I have a pair of these under the anker brand. Not bad for only 30 bucks that I paid for them.

I have these and they are great for the price.
I think my next headphones may be something like the samsung Level on set. Just waiting for a better price on them.

For those with the Jaybirds, how is the battery life?

AS long as they don't cut out/mute when wifi is on.. Had that issue with my Note 3 and LG HBS-750

I got the jaybirds. Love them. I've never ran them completely out of battery before charging, so I don't know the exact battery life. Have gotten over 5 hours many times though.

I want something unintrusive, to take advantage from android wear to actually control the device: so earphones, sound quality and almost no cable... right now the only thing I found are the Jaybirds.
JasonJoel, may I ask how fares the mic and noise cancellation system? The only complaint I've ever heard is about poor voice in-call!

I think the noise cancelation is pretty good. The mic quality is ok, but not great.

I just purchased the Plantronics Backbeats 2 about 3 days ago. Had never seen them but I went into Vzn to look for Note 4 accessories and saw the last pair hanging. I thought to myself, WOW only one pair....that's a good sign, right? lol. Anyway, I have to say I am satisfied with the sound quality. I love the pouch & fact that it is a on the go charger as well. I had plantronics before as a bluetooth earpiece about 10yrs ago and that was a good device way back then. I have issues with finding the proper sized buds to use. Oddly enough the large ones work best as fully plugging my ear for best sound quality. I am still gonna try Sammy' s Circle Gear though.

Thanks! I have the Platronics Backbeat Go 2, but the ear tips are terrible. There isn't any Comply Foam I can order either. No budget earbuds seem to have better fit and audio quality than the good old Klipsch S4a. I'll definitely pick these up to use with my Klipschs.
