Hi
I own expensive headsets for my iphone 4.
At this moment I give my iphone to my girlfriend and
want to use the iphone headsets on HTC Sensation XE.
- Dre dre beats Solo HD : will this work on HTC Sensation XE ??
- Klipsch S4i, wil this in ears headset work on HTC Sensation XE ??
If not working I could be a dealbreaker for me...
What about the upcoming Sony Experia S LT26i ???
Regards Valentijn
Do yourself a favor and stay away from the Beats headphones if you care about sound quality.

Can you please argument a little? I'm interested too...
Read the comments here http://www.engadget.com/2012/01/12/monster-and-beats-electronics-discontinue-partnership-/ . With the b & w p5 the middle button needs an app to work (jays headset control) and the volume buttons don't.

I read your thread and I don't own any iPhone or any pair of Beats Speakers yet, but was considering of buying one. So. Can you please argument what you said?
In general I don't believe any pair of speakers is worth more than 100€ and anyway I would never buy (because for my needs are more than enough) any pair of speakers more expensive than 50€.
That said. Why do you think that Beats Audio Speakers are overrated? Why do you think they sound crap? Considering that you can find the same headset included in the XE or XL on the Bay for about half of the price (around 40-50€ shipping included) wouldn't you recomend it as a good purchase? And why?
Yes, they are all overpriced to much. For more information please check Head-fi forum, they will tell you which pair of headphones you should get instead of Beats
I have Klipsch Image S4's.
They're brilliant all rounders for people who don't want to spend more then around £50 on earphones.
The only complaint I have is the little bud on the earphones come off a bit easily.
I haven't got the S4i's but the standard ones. But there is an Android version of the S4's. See here: http://www.androidpolice.com/2011/1...bine-great-sound-with-an-awesome-control-app/
I recently got klipsch s4a, also got comply foam tips. Quality is amazing. Hightly recommend it.

I can recall the S4A's were among the items I would have chosen if they weren't that expensive.
The review you linked is great...but indeed they cost around 100$ and even on eBay I couldn't find them for less than 88€
There are a couple of auction from USA which at the moment are around 50€ but you need to add another 30€ for the shipping plus the VAT which I'll be charged at delivery so we are back again at 90-100€
If you can tell me where I can find this headset for around £50 I'd be glad to have a look into it..!

I own the S4i's and they are easily one of the best pair of buds i have ever owned. Excellent range on them. I'm someone who loves mids and highs with bass as a supplement and not the main thing. (mostly because i listen to bands like earth wind and fire and such)
I tell people all the time, if you plan on getting these, avoid the app. The delay is so bad sometimes, it will mute your call instead of answering it or you may just miss the call outright.
I have heard there are apps that work better for headset control, but I run ICS ROMS now and they accept the button without need for a third party app. So I'm find with that aspect.
Mic is pretty good. I have yet to have a caller tell me they can tell i am on a headset or that they can't hear me. Sound quality on my end and their end easily makes these worth it in my mind.

Well...I can find your S4 at 20€ or less on eBay...thing is that I need a mic to use them as a headset..!
S4i for iPhone starts at 30-40€ but S4a for Android seems to be the most expensive and I really can't afford them without risking a divorce :-/
I can't find anything with a better compromise between price and quality than the Beats Audio In Ear ....if anybody has any suggestion is more then welcome!
Key points to keep in mind is:
- In Ear Headset with mic
- 50€ MAX (NOT around 50€: MAX 50€!! And the cheaper it is the better it goes)
- Possibly with a working comander control (play - pause - skip music - answer to call.....)
I just got the HTC RC-E190 for 19€...but I'm selling it cause the ear buds don't match with my ear channel...! Klipsch S4A's would be great but it's too expensive...

Hi I have an XE and s4i (black ones).
I can confirm that the beats profile is recongnized when the headphones are plugged in and play, pause work (with the center button) but not the volume up and down.
The mic works as well.
Quality on s4i is top notch and I actually prefer my s4i than the stock beats headphones (oval earbuds fit better in my ears)
Hope this helps.
As to the sound, I find s4i better than ibeats given with the phone (but sound is a personal taste)

Pickup a pairs of Sennheiser, Audio-Technica, AKG and listen to those yourself. You'll know the reason.
If you like to wear a headphone, buy Beats. If you like to listen to music, get something else.

If you are still looking for decent headphones/earbuds, try the Sol amps (60usd)

if you want good audio quality for music, the beats are not good. rather get the htc mic-piece and use some good headphones from sennheiser, ultimate ears, etymotic and so on...
For 53 bux it's not horrible. The mic works fine and controls are good as well. Because they are bass heavy, depending on what type of music you listen too, you may like or be 'meh' on them.
I personally think they are ok, but have since replaced the earbuds with Sol Republic AMPS HD, but those cost a bit more than 53 bux. (I got mine for 85 but retail for about 99). Those suckers are clear with the bass where it needs to be.
However saying that, the Sennheisers would do the job nicely as well, but it's just personal preference!

I thank all of you for your input. I found the iBeats on Ebay for 39 dollars, so I went ahead and ordered them. They'll be here today, I hope.
Again, I appreciate the input. I am not really interested in AMAZING sound quality, I just wanted something that looked "cool" and enabled hands free calling. So if someone called while I was listening to music I could just answer and go... And was better than my 5 dollar ear buds from Wal-Mart. Haha.
The iBeats will be perfect for my reason. I'm not really a music head. Just listen when mowing the lawn, walking about, etc.
I have this:
http://www.amazon.com/Bose-In-Ear-Headphones-Old-Version/dp/B000XA8766
They have no microphone, but the sound is wonderfull!
I don't have beats headphone, I don't know if my headphone is better than beats, somebody knows?

The Bose in ear are the way to go. The sound quality is awesome. You can get the new ones that are designed for android with a mic. I had the set without a Mic until my dog chewed them.lol

What's wrong with dr.dre?
I have used the full line of bose, but only have one pair that came with the amaze with controls. That's the only reason I have them. They aren't totally bad, just the name of "Monster" and "beats" makes it a marketing genius formula. Pair that with a known rapper/musician/producer, and everyone wants to see and try em. I know I have .
I have used clearer headphones/earbuds but I do have the beats as a backup.
uh… wow you ppl are dumb… first of all monster headphones are overpriced crap… terrible audio, just a gimmick
second the headphones you bought are FAKEEE!!!! let me guess they come from china to??
Kiplich s4 with android adaptor are the way to go
True dat. Bose are also, to me very overhyped overpriced.

Mine? Nope bought them off a person who had an amaze. So not fake.
Same can be said with most headsets out there. Bose, Sol Republic etc.. Just try some out and make your own decision.
I have Beats Mixr's which I use for work (DJ'ing) and occasionally on my phone as they came with a DJ cable and control talk cable. Love them.
iBeats are on my shoppling list next for the Sensation as I love the quality and sound.
Saying that, it all depends on the quality of MP3 you are listening to. I bought some Sennheiser CX200 last week for £10 (no control talk), however the music and sound is pretty decent for the price.

Bro, monster beats by dre is overpriced but not overrated. If you've owned or own a beats headphone, earphone then you would know. Even if it may not have better sound quality than some seinheiser headphones, etc but the brand and build quality is important as well. I mean, it looks awesome!

i recomend the a-jays one (about 30 USD) or a-jays one+ for an extra 10$.
they sound great, fit perfectly into the ears, and that wire is impossible to break.

I use sennheiser cx300-II in ears, fantastic sound for a relatively cheap price, found them pretty durable too just be careful if choosing these and buying from eBay, a friend of mine got a fake pair with crap lifeless sound and woeful build quality.
Koss PortaPro
I would suggest buying some koss porta pro's, I own these myself and they are amazing.
They aren't to expensive but they sound just as good as expensive ones.
And I can say that, beacause I also own a pair of 150€ denon headphones, and the sound of the koss is almost as good.
The best part about the koss partapro is that beautifull warm bass that they give you.
They are also very compact, so they can be stored very easily.
So if you're looking for some great headphones on the cheap buy the koss portapro's, and I assure you you wont regret it.
You could get the regular fit senns for around Rs. 950 something. Although its in the lower end of the range(a little expensive than sony , phillips, etc counterparts - cmon its sennheiser!!!), its way better than the common generic types that most common people tend to buy. Think its mx 400 or something. The sound quality is pretty decent and also the bass is pretty good - as good as some of the in ear ones
Own one of these and got it from Trivandrum.
Also there are other similar builds of sennheiser ones , which you can easily buy it off from ebay
I use Sennheiser CX 300-II Precision! They have a clear and fantastic sound. Moreover the price-performance ratio is super!
I build expo-displays for sennheiser and the things they come out with is amazing. Size and quality its smilpy some of the best i'v seen and tryed out.
Sorry, recommended expensive ones. Klipsch s4 is good value headset..
What about ultimate ears?

I'm looking for a set of headphones within the $100-$150 range. I have looked around many forum discussions and finally decided on getting the Audio-Technica ATH-M50. However before I buy it I'm having second thoughts.. I have an HTC One S with beats integrated (obviously) and listen to mainly rap/hip hop, but occasionally rock also. I was wondering whether if I should go with the beats used or go with the M50? M50 I heard was better but us more focused on the complete sound of the song and more suited for songs other than rap/hip hop. Whereas I like my bass relatively heavy in my songs. Which beats provide since that's kinda their selling point. Also does beats for my phone have any distinctly different effect on the two headphones or does it just boost the bass of the song? Also I heard that Beats have noise-canceling technology which sounds really appealing, but my question to you is the feature worth over the M50's? Any thoughts are appreciated
Sent from my HTC VLE_U using xda app-developers app
I have the in-ear Monster iSport immersion headphones and I am more than happy with the sound, really pro sound from in ear headphones, I was surprised with the bass they produce. Music is crisp and loud even in max volume, no need to use it over 70-80% though since the noice cancellation is adequate.
Sent from my HTC One S using Tapatalk 2
The M50's are a very nice set and would certainly sound better than Beats, but you might consider where you are going to be listening. They are a set more geared toward home/studio. While the closed headphones are great for being able to ignore the outside noises of everyday travel and not disturb the people around you with your music, you might consider the fact that for safety reasons you might not want to be unable to hear horns/sirens/shouting while walking around. You wouldn't have to worry at all about quality with that set though as long as you are okay with closed headphones in general.
I have a set of Beats Solo HD on sale on eBay. They worked very well with Beats for me and have amazing bass. The only thing is you need an equalizer app to turn up mids and highs when playing rock or alternative. They're going cheap if you wanna check em here http://item.mobileweb.ebay.com/viewitem?itemId=181053072394&index=0&nav=SEARCH&nid=60174087912
The Beats have great bass but if you want richer sound I'd suggest another brand.

good bass
I have a pair of Sennheiser PX100's, they are pretty amazing for the price. They have great bass, good highs, but the best part is the price is about $40. Unfortunately you cant really buy them anywhere, they have been replaced by the PX100-II, and I cant speak to those. So if you can find a pair for about $40, I would definately buy them.

As with any company there are good and bad models for what you want. I love my Sennheiser hd280 pro's, but they don't have overpowering bass like other models. I was more concerned with sound blocking and clear sounds. You really have to read reviews and test headphones out in the stores (with your own device/music) if you want something great.
The Beats EQ works with anything you plugin. Beats boosts bass a decent amount with a little boost in treble.
I'd check out head-fi's website and ask around there, be sure to be specific about your taste.
I personally took their $30 recommendation for IEMs and went with a Meelectronic M31. Never looked back, works wonders with the phone and every genre of music sounds great.
Hope I helped,
Happy New Years!

To Closed Search Project,
Thanks for the offer. But I did go and buy the M50's, as I would use it for the rich sound and in the indoor environment. I appreciate the help and I'm sure anyone reading would probably take you up on that offer!

Assuming he's from US, ours didn't come with any headphones.
I have some beats studio in white and some audiotechnica ATH-M50's in white and I'll I can say is the ATH-M50's are better with any music, in any situation, and in every way.

Headphones for the money: http://www.monoprice.com/products/product.asp?p_id=8323
Hands down. A/B'd them against my Sennheiser HD280pro, and for everyday listening or gaming, I'd go with the Monoprice. Clear but not overpowering bass, good highs.
Fantastic presence. The HD280pro have a little more transparency in the sound, but you can't beat the Monoprice 8323s in the <$100 price bracket. There's just no competition.
Everything from dubstep to Diana Krall was gorgeous on these puppies.
Don't know what the $ price is, but can recommend sennheiser HD 25-1 II
I use the Soul SL99's, they sound great, I love the clarity all around and a good thumpy bass. I am looking for something better so I'm also checking this thread for some good suggestions under 100 bucks.
I use sennheiser HD 280 pros. I bought my pair 9 years ago and I've used them every day. I don't use speakers ever so I've litterally used them every day. Yesterday they finally broke and guess what? I'm buying another pair this week. They were $299 way back then, but they're only $100 now.
Highly recommend them!

Check out the razer electra i got em and they are amazing!
I normally take hifi magazine reviews with a pinch of salt but the Soundmagic E-10 IEDs got pretty good reviews from users too, so I splashed out a very reasonable £30 or so for a pair. It took a while to get them to fit correctly in my ear but the results are very good indeed, especially for the price.
I thought I had bought a lemon when I first tried them, but fitting the correct ear bud is vital for good sound from IEDs. When I use 'over the ear' headphones (usually at home) I use Sennheiser HD280s.

I want to buy headphones to my Nexus 4, and I want to know what is your opinion about the google headphone, or the ibeats (Dr. Dre).
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 2
If you like your headphones bassy and overpriced, go for the ibeats. But I doubt the controls will work as they're made for apple devices.
In general, I think you'll find much better options than either. First of all, though, you should think about what you want in your headphones and how much you're willing to spend. And then seek out a forum with lots of people who care about audio quality etc.
I personally am using the Superlux HD 381F. Build quality is not spectacular, but the sound is amazing considering they only cost 20€, so it's not that much of a loss if you break or lose them. Which I do way too often to actually buy more expensive ones.
I would go with neither.
Go with Senheiser or another know 'headphone' brand.
I myself use the Marley earbuds, they fit perfectly, the cord is not from plastic but from fabric, earbuds are from wood, and most of all have amazing sound.

i read in the forum that have any app that control on the pins, like one click its play/stop , two clicks its next song..
the question if its realy working
Get yourself a pair of Sennheiser, Shure, or audio-technica headphones. ~$100 for some really good ones.

Do a little search and you can come up with a few threads on various headphones. From cheapest, to what you have/recommend, in ear or over the ear,etc. It's here. I know because I commented on most of them lol.
My opinion of the Google headphones. They are good for just the casual listener. Dr. Dre are a bit overpriced for what they are, but I don't deny the popularity of them due to "style" and whatnot. What is your budget? What type of headphones are you looking into? These are some of the things to think of and do a little research on to come to your conclusion.
I just bought some Munitio NINES 9mm earbuds, because they looked interesting because they look like bullet casings lol. Well I read in some reviews that they sound great for the price. So I am testing them out.
So basically, if you want good in ears, go for the brands like Sennheiser or Shure products. Also Jays headphones are decent as well. I personally use the Sol Republic AMPS HD for my yardwork. They are light and tangle free. Over the ears are based on mostly on personal preference due to the head phone cup size, portability, and so forth.
Additionally, the type of music you listen to plays a factor as well. GL and happy shopping!

I have not tried the google headphones, ( i'm sure their average to decent like standard earphones) but I do own the ibeats by Dr.dre. I would not have bought them myself as I agree they are overpriced, but I received them as a birthday gift. The quality is very good, better than any other earphones I tried or had ( all <$20) and they have a lot of bass, which I really like. The build quality is really good too, better than all my usual cheap earphones ( but thats what you would expect at that price range) - the rubber for the wires and the metal earbuds are both good. I was happy with the sound but honestly I'm sure you could get just as good a pair in terms of sound quality for $50, like the name brands mentioned above. These are just priced for the branding and popularity and style points. I did get a lot of compliments for them since they are recognizable.
For the controls, only the center button worked for me. It does pause/play, or pick up/hang up a call. You can get apps to set the one button to do other things based on how many times you press it. The volume/track + - buttons did not work for me, I don't think android supports them yet.
So your choice, depends on your budget and what you want. They're good but expensive.. you might be better off with one of the well known audio company brands.

I use them with this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kober.headsetbutton
They're excellent for the money, and the plug is actually a 90 degree, though the pictures don't show it. They've got great bass, and you won't believe the quality for the price.
I recommend the Klipsch IMAGE S4 II's. Love the sound from them and they're not too expensive. If you're looking for cheap, the IMAGE S3 or original IMAGE S4's also do an excellent job. The versions that have an A at the end of them have a customizable button via an Android app made by Klipsch themselves.

If you like your headphones bassy and overpriced, go for the ibeats. But I doubt the controls will work as they're made for apple devices.

I saw the thread about the headphones, and i don't want to pay too much, my range price is 10-30$ not more
now when everyone say that Dr.Dre it's only name I will not buy his headphones
Are you happy with your headphones? they look good , but I can't test them .. only from you opinion and more subjects on them .
I saw this headphones: Sennheiser CX300II, but I do not like the cable length is not the same
All I want is headphones in-ear , with high loud, high bass and quality

I have the lg quadbeat earphones. They are the same got them of Ebay for 20 bucks

OP- Since you said you like bass, I strongly suggest you try JVC HAFX101 or JVC HAFX1X. I own both and they produce mind blowing bass. No kidding! They cost $14-15. You can get them both and still stay under budget

You can get them on Amazon.
Yep, I'm happy with them. They sound really good. I also recommend getting comply foam tips to go with these (you can get those on amazon too) :good:
What is your budget? I can help suggest something or you could post in the "portable" "What Headphone Should I Buy" thread at Head-Fi.org and someone will reply with your best options.
10-30$

Seconding this. I have the HAFX1X and it really pumps the bass. Looks pretty good too! Now if I can find the bud thing that fits in my ears instead of it falling out, it'll be golden.
