Pioneer... i had one but once i bought a sennheiser i totally forgot i had a pioneer... seriously pioneer probably will be okay for car audio but for earphones or headphones go for sennheiser or beats audio...

Yes, today tested many sennheisers, they are not expensive and the sound is great. Just have to decide which one I will buy.
Sent from: Sensation XE
nowdays there are a lot of option of sennheiser.... i have one sennheiser earphone and one sennheiser headphone.... the earphone is cx300 and the headphone is hd215... i personally dont recommend you the hd215 because the treble is louder than the bass and it is actually ideal for dj's or for watching movies with lots of conversation when you really want to listen to the treble sound... My cx300 on the other hand is superbly ideal for mp3 and any form of music... unfortunately it is not an over ear headphone,it is an in ear headphone.... just make sure when u r buying your headphone u know what u r using it for and ask the sellers what is ideal for... If you want to listen music on your sensation then just go with any sennheiser headphone that has super bass, power bass or bass on its packaging...
Thank you for helping me. After reading this review:
As a semi-pro acid-trance/techno and drum & bass DJ and promotor for 20 years, and a total Audiophile, I wasn't expecting too much from these, coz as a rule you do get what you pay for. But sometimes rules are meant to be broken, and these babies SMASH the rule book to bits! They have the same tech specs as Dr Dre's Beats and the shape, size and comfort of the seminal HD 25's by Sennheiser. Having owned a pair of the latter, at £130, I wasn't expecting the HAS4X's to lay at the HD25's feet, let alone stand up to their shoulders! So, in laymans terms, what does all this mean in terms of sound? Alow me to help:
Low-end/Bass: The bass is strong, powerfull and amazingly tight, controlled and damn LOW, with a fast, punchey attack you just would never expect under £100! Add this to the fact that the bass NEVER becomes overpowering or gets in the way of the other frequencies, and the low, and even sub-bass low-end is catered for dynamicaly. Very impressive.
Low-Mid/Mid Range: This is the area that is the hardest for any headphones and speakers to reproduce without making it too weak, which makes it sound hollow, or too strong, which sounds too harsh, bright and down right awefull. These HAS4X's reproduce Mid frequencies with aplomb! Acid sounds are notoriously unforgiving, as they use all frequencies, from bass to treble, but mainly hang in the mid range, so if the mid is off in any way, you just won't get the spikey texture right, and I have to say that my Neurofunk d'n'b collection sounds fantastic through these babies! Guitars are handled with the same fidelity and controll, and again , my metal collection sounds awesome. I'm hearing instruments I never knew were in the song! There's Plenty of body to the sound, while incredibly managing to retain a good amount of transparency! Again, unheard of for under £100!
Treble/High end: The biggest mistake people make when reviewing ear/headphones, is not alowing them to 'run-in' for 24 hours. An engine won't run to it's best ability untill it's warmed up, and the same rule aplies to ALL music equipment! When you first listen to these, you may feel cheated, as although there is treble, it's not the over-bright, 'splashy' treble most people are used too with sub £100 'phones. WAIT!! Keep using them and you will start to realise that actualy, these have fantastic treble controll! They manage to reproduce the exact high end frequencies without adding any artifitial hiss, or splash. What I was Most impressed by was how capable these are at handling 'transients', like cymbal crashes, snare rim-shots and hi-hats etc. transients are the short, sharp, sudden and crisp treble sounds that normally get completely lost in the mix and even when they are present, they tend to sound splashy and loose. The HAS4x's handle transients astoundingly well! cymbals, rim-shots, snare drums and even triangles and tamborines can be heard CLEARLY in busy tracks, without being overpowering, and are sharp, controlled and have good attack.
What else can I add? The stereo soundstage is nigh-on perfect with an almost seamless blend throughout the frequencies, and even though these are not 'bright' sounding, don't mistake that for sounding muffled, as they are very open and airy. I really can't fault these headphones, as they sound as good as most in the £100-£150 bracket. they are also SOLIDLY built, with a rugid feel and thick, shielded OFC cable that has nice thick rubber protection at all joints and terminals, as well as a gold jack plug for a quality connection to your Mp3 player, stereo amp etc. And they are really comfortable (and I've got a large size head!). I was even able to jump about and dance without them even moving, let alone falling off. I love these, and am SOOOoo glad I got them. I hope you are too, as they are destined to be a much talked about contender, and in my opinion, VICTOR, to Dr Dre's Beats! They look kick ass too, which is always a bonus. 10/10 from me :-D Hope this has helped. Going back to listen to my zen now through my lovely new HAS4X's to enjoy more quality sounds again ;-) 'Thagoatboy' B. Waters
I bought :JVC HAS4X Xtreme Xplosives On Ear Headphone. I have Sony BT reciever with 3,5 mm output and my plan is to use them together. I will write feedback, maybe next week.
any users opinions on audio quality in calls & from wired headset via the micro usb headset ?
Would probably go with adaptor micro to 3.5mm or mod supplied headset to a 3.5mm female plug so could use better headphones but would like some users opinions on music audio quality out of the box.
Thanks ...
I was reasonably impressed. These are pretty hard to find in my part of the world, but I imported one a while back and enjoyed it a lot. I usually pump my audio through an amp and use good quality cans, but the onboard amp seems to hold alright. Throw away the stock 'phones though, because they're useless
So with some aftermarket headphones sound quality for music is very good with good un-muddled range !?

Yes. It's not quite at the Meizu MX level, but it's certainly subjectively better than many mainstream handsets. Unfortunately I couldn't find any information on the DAC used. Pair it with some good aftermarket headphones, and you'll be pretty impressed. It's even better through a pocket amp
Might pick one up at Christmas then & try it out & Android 4.04 & 4.1.1.
Easy to find here in Bangkok & prices are quite low so will do as a temporary handset or become more permanent if I'm impressed ...
Thanks for response on music quality ...
You're welcome friend. It's a well-built little phone, and I hope.you enjoy it. I'm.holding out for the Find 5.personally!
Find 5 looks interesting but just too big for my everyday liking.
On to the Finder, yep quite well built & I have owned one for a good month now so can answer my own question on audio quality:
Very good once you fine tune the settings to your preference, out the box headset is better than expected & better than many big brands & beats labelled hardware. Get a micro USB to 3.5mm adaptor & use some quality headphones & it is shockingly good even at high volume and has excellent clear un-muddled & detailed audio reproduction.
Cracking thin phone for the money only let down by Androids lack lustre OS & greedy data connectivity for ads etc.
Would of been smart to incorporate a 3.5mm jack in lead & headset supplied thus making it out the box compatible with all standard headsets & would of helped smooth over the dual headset-audio/micro USB setup - do miss out on the easy & almost costless to include little things these manufacturers :-/
For either:
a) Quality of sound.
b) Value for money.
c) Features.

Check out Head-Fi. They have a lot of information about headphones and some good threads to help you find the right ones for your budget and needs. If you want good quality for the money then avoid anything from a phone manufacture, Beats, or anything you'd find at a department store like Walmart or Target.
recurrent question
I am going to stick with my Jays one+ with their single remote button for Android devices, because they have good sound, mic, remote and flat, tangle-free cable

If you are looking for a seriously top quality IEM (In-ear), go for the SoundMAGIC E30 Earphones, £39.99 from Amazon UK - combine these with Comply Tx-400 tips (amazing memory foam tips which expand to perfectly fit your ear, blocking outside noise and noise cancelling!).
I'm a bit of an audiophile, have some serious headphones including sennheiser ie80 (£250), sennheiser HD25-1 mk2 (£300), Creative Aurvana Live (£200) - all amazing, but they have there place (HD25's for my music studio) etc.
The Soundmagic E30's are seriously AMAZING for the price, and I mean amazing - I've got six pairs of headphones, and the E30's I use every day, brilliant for trains, buses etc.
Combined with the Tx-400 comply tips, you will NOT FIND anything even close to the range and quality delivered - they are, IMHO, close to being my first choice over the ie80's which cost me £200 more!
No mic or control buttons, which is great. Mic's and buttons are s#it and destroy your listening experience.
Trust me, you get these, you will be delighted!
Thanks people. @nelvinchi, after cross referencing your suggestion with @Hennevey's on @Ecstacy42's suggested site Head-Fi, I think we have a winner. Where the Jay's look to have the better build quality, the reviews for the actual sound of the E30's were overwhelmingly positive, which suggests remarkable value for money. Only one way to know of course, but I generally trust what I've seen.
Cheers!
@Bakuron - if you'd like some tips on audio setup to make your mini sound like a top end piece of kit, pm me - I know sound, and you CAN get your phone to sound like professional kit.....

Beats with beats audio?)
The Beats audio headphones are totally overpriced and the audio quality is far from satisfactory for the money you are paying. They are too bass heavy and lack clear highs.
The ones that come with the HTC One Mini (linked in the first post) are the worst plug headphones I've ever used, I don't know how they manage it but the flat cables they use catches the vibration I generate while walking and brings it to my ear, I can literally hear the cable wiggling if the music isn't loud enough. So the only way you can listen to these is while being perfectly still. This is even marked as a feature for this piece of crap: "Tangle free cables" They are insanely bass heavy and I had to use an equalizer app to reduce the bass levels. The only good thing about them is that they are comfortable and insulate external sounds very well(so you can hear this maddening cable wiggling sound even better!)
If the device doesn't come with them included don't even consider buying them!
I'm using the beats urbeats from my old sensation xe. they're old enough to not have the "tangle free" cabels. So none of your issues. Sound is still great.
Hi,
Is anyone using a headset/headphone (with mic) with working inline controls (volume/ next/...) on their Xperia E3?
Hoping someone can share their experiences...
Thanks!
I'm bought Sony's MDR-XB50 Extra Bass IEM which I find really great because of the sound quality you get for an affordable price.
I have tried Bose, JBL, Audio Technica, Philips, etc., but this one's the best in my opinion.

Those look like decent ear-buds, however, at the moment I am looking more towards solutions with active noise filtering.
I often ride my bike to visit family and friends (more ecological/economical) and like enjoying an audiobook while riding (off course not when in traffic). But noise from nearby auto-routes and just wind makes that I often turn it louder than it should be, so that's why I'm hoping to find some good (economic ) headphones with active noise cancelling.

M using dis product of Skull candy from last 8 months. And trust me its great in sound & quality. Specially the bass effect is too good. And it has all the features u mentioned.
It has Mic with controls like next track, previous track, play, pause. Skull Candy Ink'd 2.
Press thanks if it was helpful.:good:

I don't think there many economic headsets with active noise canceling.. I am using SBH20 bluetooth stereo headset, which doesn't have active noise canceling but does a good job though, having keys for the control of the player up (previous/next, play/pause etc...). It is sold 19,90€ in my country.

What audio formats does the galaxy S8+ supports? I’m not talking about Audio Playback Format. I’m asking about Quality for instant is High-Resolution Audio same as PCM or DSD: DSD 64 / 128 can someone point or explain what all this means ?
Also I just found out about the Sony has a high res player is out on the market only a few days ago..
How does the galaxy S8+ compete with Sony high res audio player? Please see link Sony high res audio player
Other thing what would be the best headphones, or over the ear phones to experience the best audio quality on the S8+ ? At the moment I’m using Bose QC35 They are a decent pair of over the ear headphones, but of course not the best.
They do have a pretty awesome sound signature, but I’m sure there must be better out there, Sony Bluetooth headphones just released how much would I benefit using these with the S8+ As I have checked the Samsung website they don’t really tell you much on the specs link for Sony WH-1000XM2 Thanks peeps
Mods, i hope this isn’t in the wrong section. Thanks
I use Audio-Technica ATH-R70X, They sound great with lossless content, and the output jack on the phone supplies plenty of power to push them. With an external amp you may have better results, but I cant tell. I cant imagine that the S8+ wouldn't playback high quality audio, as long as your source material is high quality. As for the specs, not a clue... sorry!

Some facts that might help with your decision:
* The part of your body that actually pics up sound is tuned to convert sound waves from 20Hz-20,000Hz (cycles per second) to electrical signals your brain can process.
* Digital music is converted from analog by chopping up the signal in Time and Amplitude (Sample Rate and Bit Depth). CD's and most other digital music Sample the Analog waveform 44,100 times a second and have 65534 (16-bit signed) possible amplitude levels per sample.
* You can lossless convert the 16-bit 44.1KHz signal back to a analog waveform that has a SNR of 98dB and a frequency range of 0-22,050Hz.
* It is very unlikely you are able to hear past 18KHz by the time you're in your 30's
* Passing Ultrasonic's into a driver (speaker) can at best not provide any advantage other than wasted amplifier power and at worst degrade the parts of the audible spectrum.
* High quality compressed music (AAC, OPUS, MP3, DD, DTS, Etc.) is in-distinguishable from the original digitized source because of the way our auditory system works (Psychoacoustics). - While I'd love to get into reasons why it is past my current knowledge level. But you can start here if you want to dive in deeper https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychoacoustics
"High-Res" audio is marketing.
The Galaxy S8's DAC+AMP is average, but as long as you're not driving a pair of high impedance headphones or have the volume cranked to the max it should be fine. - https://www.devicespecifications.com/en/editor-review/7e2439/12
As for headphones no one can tell you what you will like, but I've been regularly impressed by The Wirecutter's recommendations on speakers and headphones. They do measurements and also have a group of people listen to each model, so you're not getting a single persons opinion - http://thewirecutter.com/leaderboard/headphones/
Make sure to scroll down; what looks like ad's (because they have prices at the bottom) are actually articles with recommended headphones and also alternatives.
You really can't expect any kind of audiophile experience without a version of Viper4android.

I've compared a lot in the $100-$400 range and the ones that came out on top for me were:
1. Meze 99 CLASSICS My fav https://www.mezeaudio.com/collections/all/products/meze-99-classics-walnut-silver-wood-headphones
2. ATH-MSR7

Going by the frequency response graphs:
Meze 99 Classics - They will sound warm (especially female vocals), average sound stage, while still having a crisp high end.
ATH-MSR7 - Not as warm, larger sound stage, high end will have more sparkle and the "I can feel it" part of bass will be more pronounced.
From personal experience:
ATH-M50x - Meh. They can sound great if calibrated, but I never cared for them otherwise.
For best quality, use a lossless formats such as WAV or FLAC but check first that they are not upsampled mp3s. If you want to save space and use mp3 format, look for a bitrate of 256kbps+ (ideally 320kbps)

You can't expect any kind of audiophile experience without actual stereo equipment high end speakers, Highs, Mids, Full range, and a bottom firing sub, biamped, triamped, and a center spaced sub, and then every speaker has to be tuned to your specific space in a deadened room. So if that is the kind of audiophile sound you want from your phone its just not going to happen. This phone sounds better than any other that I have ever owned or heard. Viper audio is crap, its just a front end for ALSA to make use of very limited power to make the tiny speakers in ear buds or over the ear anything go BOOM just a bit more. Don't waste your money on stupid high end headphones the biggest difference between most of them is the amount of stuffing they put in them to keep them from rattling, and please never ever spend more than 20 bucks for ear buds. I have a set of $18 dollar ear buds that I bought at a flying-J truck stop that sound and preform just as well as my $300 dollar Bose Bluetooth ear buds...I paid $280 for a name. (not knocking Bose I love their home audio stuff, but they got me with the ear buds) Lossless files are the way to go for sure, and if you were to use this phone as the music provider for a stereo system, the sound you would want coming out of it (because you are using it as a preamp) would be dead flat..... The Same thing goes for your car or home stereo using the Bluetooth or a direct line out of the phone into a stereo system....the sound coming out of the phone should be flat or you are EQ'ing an EQ and you are defeating the purpose of the equalizer in the stereo, you are essentially feeding the stereo digital noise, (just try it, trust me) (you wont be sorry). Let the stereo do the work let the phone be the high end preamp and it shouldn't be turned up more than half way. Oh and just so you know in not some wind bag ,, I'm giving you practical, useful, WORKING, knowledge. I have been a working Professional Musician for over 30 years. In and out of studios recording,,,,,AND many many many hundreds of shows and sound issues that have been dealt with. So take it for what its worth... and now i'm going to go loose myself with some with some Pink Floyd and Mozart..............Peace..

What do you recommended that has best audio quality for mobile use? I mean, I use the LG V20 with Viper4Arise with good headphones and it blows me away how good it sounds.

Exactly what you are doing if that is what sounds good to you.... I would ask you to do one thing and see how it sounds... if you are going to use Viper then just use Viper.... Flatten out every other EQ that you would be sending the EQ'd sound from your phone to... then just use the viper eq until you have the sound you are looking for.
As far as headphones/earbuds are concerned. I have a free standing hat rack full of them.. I use them according to the music I am listening to, But if you want my honest opinion ( and i know someone will call me stupid, not that I care,) I use a pair of Beats, over ear, with noise canceling, wired, as my go to headphones,,,, and the stock earbuds that came with my S8+ .... They are made by AKG.... You can get stupid and spend a lot of money (like thousands) trying to get better sound from a substandard tinny tiny under powered sound card,,, and never find the right equipment to get the job done... and never realize its not the equipment you are buying but the equipment you are using,, inst getting the job done
I had Lg g6 and it has better Audio than the S8 + ,definitely.
I just can't believe any professional can suggest Bose, Beats or phone stock AKG. Did you ever try them? For studio purpose you are using monitors... maybe this is why...
Try something what make sense- don't be like sheep- buying beats or bose just for brand and color? Get proper AKG, Beyerdynamic are not massively expensive or Sennheiser ie80. I would not recommend headphones over £300 because you not gonna notice any difference. EQ or any funny software- I prefer flat sound but everyone is individual...
+1 to this. With all due respect but no real professional would say that an $18 pair of buds would produce the same sound quality like a +$300 pair of westone or senheiser or any other prestigious brand in ear monitors. This post was addressed to audiophiles and obviously OP you should expect answers from real ones.

Samsung's S8 phone connected with the LDAC codec with Sony's WH-1000XM2 headphone is a combination made in heaven! There is presently no other wireless pair that comes close to this combination. The key is the LDAC bluetooth codec.
