Sensation XE Beats earbuds vs. regular Beats line. - HTC Sensation

How do the Bets audio earbuds that come with the XE compare with the reular Beats earbuds like Tour, iBeats etc. Should I pick up a XE version of Beats on eBay for around $45 or get the other Beats like Tour or iBeats.

TBH I wouldn't spent the money on those 40 beats on eBay they are gonna be fake... If that's the case you can find them for like 25 online there are plenty of sites

Well I got a pair of iBeats headphones from eBay for $70 and they are legitimate headphones and very good quality, if i believe what I'm told they are the same as the XE headphones just exchange the inline volume controls for fast forward/previous buttons

I have a pair off powerbeats and monster turbines. The ibeats that came with my sensation XE sound the same as the Turbines. So I would say there on par

I got mine for 80 bux. I wanted some decent buds that could be used with my phone. And they are legit. Bass is there, night and day compared to stock.

Would you say you see spending $149.99 at Best Buy for the Monster Tour in ear buds or the same for the Monster PowerBeats Earbuds Headphones? I am like you and want some good quality earbuds and they seem like the Beats earbuds might be what I am looking for.

Seriously? No headphones?

How can they not include a set of headphones?
I have my own for music pair, they have a mic but they're in-ear so they make me talk louder than I should. I was hoping to have another pair for phone usage. :/
Anyone know of a cheap pair I could get?
I got a set, heavily discounted, of the ink'd Skullcandy (ugh) when I picked up the phone this morning. Better than nothing, and dirt cheap.
Can anyone recommend some headphones with a mic?

$45, and you can use your own earbuds.
I suggest everyone checkout head-fi.org and do a search.

I figure I'll drop some dime on the LG HBS-700 headphones. I have a friend who uses those with his Evo 4g, and they are AWESOME.

I tried a blackberry headset and the mic did not work, while the button did control music and voice dialer.

I'm guessing no headphones and sdcard is how they got the price of the phone down to $499 off contract

a pair of cheap headphones cost at max like what, $2-$4?
I can buy an HDMI cable myself for $5. LG can probably obtain them in bulk for $2 each.
SD cards are a little more expensive, so I can understand that because they included some internal storage. But still, a 4GB card is pretty cheap. But I don't care, I have a collection of microSDs from a 512mb to a couple 8GBs. I have my 16GB inside right now.

dont forget no hdmi / mini hdmi to connect it to the phone that they are so adamant about advertising for. (not as easy to find as a normal hdmi/hdmi cable)
Got these from newegg for my Samsung Vibrant after the headphones Samsung gave me broke. So far they've been great for the price and I love the quality of the wire. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16826735014&Tpk=m9p
I bought Jlab j3m earbuds from amazon and just tested them out. Sound quality is great, and the mic also works well with the g2x. 1 click of the button will pause/play the music or answer/hang up call. A long press brings up the voice dialer but it doesn't work- it gets stuck on 'starting up'.
Has anybody experienced a similar issue of a stuck voice dialer?
Maybe this can be fixed with a different rom?
I'm using a pair of nuforce ne8 that I bought from Amazon for 50. These headphones sound great and has lasted 2 years and counting. Hope this helps

I agree. I'd rather not have to be forced to pay for cheap headphones or a dinky 2-4GB card anyway since most people like me would upgrade to something bigger and better.
The dual cores make this piece of hardware pretty pricey ..
anybody experiencing similar issue?

Go to monoprice.com and search for "micro hdmi". They have many lengths and prices are great.

OH PLEASE ! stop making excuses for these cheap mo fo's... no excuse for not having a sd card and or head phones! it probably costs lg 10$ to make this phone.
its the way of the future m'boy! everything is made in china with the cheapest of the cheap, and amenities are a thing of the past.
BUT...I am loving my g2x so far, even though the whole no sd card or earphones, is bs. thats like wsamsung not including a flash on the GS...whats up with that?
but so far most of the other complaints have not appeared on my g2x runs sweet. I did end up sticking a C4 16gb card inside, and that did seem to help a lot!
rooted FTW!

Can you successfully use voice dialer with it? Has anybody used voice dialer with wired headphones?
How many people actually use the cheap headphones iPods and cell phones come with? Go to the 99 cents store and those are the quality that comes with most cell phones.
You should buy some decent headphones that will last you through several cell phones. The Klipsch IMAGE S4 is very good. Pricey but you will hear sounds and bass you can't hear with cheap ones. I had Shures and other ones but the Klipsch is my favorite ones.

Cheap good sounding earbuds.

I am trying to find some cheap earbuds that sound good. I can only spend like 25 max and would prefer to get them in town from best buy, target, walmart, radio shack. My old one got destroyed. I really liked the sound of the smokin buds so something similar or better sounding would be nice.
Have done some Internet searching, but haven't found anything very helpful, and advice from here is better than any review online.

Spend $40 and get Yuin PK3s. You will thank me. Ear buds as a whole just don't sound good, but Yuin somehow managed to make theirs sound amazing. Rich, full bodied sound, decent soundstage, nice bass and clear highs. I'd gladly pay twice the price for how good they sound. They have them on Amazon.

I have had really good experiences with the Creative Labs EP-630 but now I'm using a pair of Nuforce NE-700x.
Noise Hush NX80 sound really good imo and are at a very good price on Amazon @ $15
You might be able to find them locally but usually retail for +$49

Here you go :-
SKULLCANDY has great bass but has poor treble and is of poor quality and cannot be fixed once broken
JBL is excellent but their earphones are slightly expensive. They have awesome service (trust me, I know)
SONY has durable earphones with great bass.
SENNHEISER is value for money and they have the best earphones, but only two models fit in your budget. They also have great service.
BOSE is out of your budget but has very very good audio.
APPLE earphones are awesome. Even a hardcore android fan has to admit this. The manufacturer of the iPod knows earphones pretty well. Probably out of your budget though.
Avoid bundled earphones (The ones that come with phones) as they are shrill and bad for music but good for phone conversations. HTC Beats earphones are quite good though.
Avoid Philips and Panasonic as they have bad earphones. Nothing they have is comparable to the competition. But, they are quite cheap.
Ear canal earphones/earbuds are bad for your ears but sound very good. The in ear ones like the apple earphones are very good and are not as bad.

I keep hearing that those are overpriced?
I use a Panasonic RP-HJE120E-K headphone, trust me it offers excellent sound quality. It costs Rs. 450 on flipkart.
With a few audio mods you can get professional sound quality. The only con is the wires, they are thin and look cheap, hence they easily tangle when kept inside your pocket. It has been around a month and half and they are working well.

Skullcandy's lowest price is around Rs. 650. I heard it provides sound at cost of durability, and the lack of Skullcandy's stores in India makes it difficult to replace it.

Headphone suggestion $25-30

I'm looking for a good pair of earbuds for around $25-30. It'd be nice if it had working controls, but im mainly looking for a pair that will stay in my ear. I really liked my iBeats and apple 5th gen earbuds. If anyone could find me an amazon or ebay link to the genuine galaxy s3 earbuds, that would be greatly appreciated too

I completely disagree with the recommendation. Unless you want the controller, you are far better off with something like Vsonic GR02 for example. It's slightly above your budget but you also get a far superior sound.

I don't know about $25-30 but a while back I purchased the Monoprice 108320 Enhanced Bass Hi-Fi Noise Isolating Earphones and even though they don't have any controls, I believe them to be the best for under $15. The only problem is the that it's best to buy new tips and they tend to coil other than that I love and the sound quality is pretty fantastic.
These are amazing

For out and about when I don't want to wear ugly looking headphones I have some vmoda in ear I got on eBay a couple years ago for somewhere between $30 and $50 I think. They aren't too bad and they hold up well.

Best earbuds to buy!

The crappy Samsung earbuds that come with the awesome S6 just don't cut it for me. I've owned several HTC devices past years, and always kept their earbuds when I soled them.
Just bought couple more on eBay. HTC earbuds.
But as the S6 has exceptional sound coming from the headset jack, what earbuds are the best out there? For reasonable price! Not Sure category ☺

I've always -really- liked skull candy. not that expensive, but you have to accept theyll break in 3-6 months
Sennheiser and Audio Technica make some nice ones. You get what you pay for.
There are some real good deals to be had in the china market for ear buds if you know what your looking for. Buds that cost fractions of the big names and sound just as good if not better. Have a look at this thread on Head-Fi.org
http://www.head-fi.org/t/684159/chinese-asian-brand-info-thread-headphones-iems-amps-dacs
I personally own the Havi B3 Professional 1 Version( can buy on amazon) and the Original Xiaomi Piston Earphone Updated Version Browns (these will blow your mind for $20) both are fantastic.
Monster Turbines have been great to me, excellent bass and mids and highs.
The Klpisch S4 sound fairly good for their price. They are quite easy to find for $40 -$50 on sale.

When you sign into galaxy apps
Samsung emails you a 30% coupon.
Use that on the Samsung site to buy the headphones that came with the s5 and s4
Those are actually really nice and at $20 after coupon they are a steal
Mine lasted me on average 14 months
(I've bought many for friends and family)
