[Q] Epic 4G Headphones

I have looked everywhere for a replacement pair of the stock headphones that shipped with the phone. Instead I get a ton of headphones with D700 on it and a bunch of negative reviews.
So I ask you the community, a way for me to accuire a pair of said headphones. Or a good replacement pair that won't break the bank.
So Samsung Epic community....Help a brother out?

Surprisingly, I use a full size sony headphone with ear cushion and notice no decline in battery charge compared to the out of box ear buds. The sound is much better and not too cumbersome. Price? ,,,about $40 but usable on the home stereo also.

i use a pair of meelectronics m11+ that has an inline mic control, these can be picked up for around 30-40

I got a pair similar to the oem headphones, off of Monoprice for a few bucks. They have a half dozen to choose from.

I found the OEM headphones quite terrible sounding. Now I an using UE TripleFi 10vi. It's very natural sounding and it takes advantage of the wolfson WM8994 DAC with voodoo 6 control & audio kernel by supercurio.

Yeah amazon has the best deals for headphones. As long as the title says OEM your good to go. I was about to buy a pair but I'll just wait till my current ones die out on me from sweat or the plug in messing up like all my other headphones. They've lasted quite a while though.

I use the black berry premium that have the music controls on them. However the music controls only bring up your calls list and dial your last number called. Sound is great.

Yeah, the stock Epic 4G headphones are pretty dope on their on... With Voodoo Control. Funny that I ignored them for the first month and a half thinking they were crappy. Wasn't until I checked on forums like this did I see people post positive feedback on them.

I use the headphones from an my touch 4G

What price is braking the bank for you. I could offer up a recommendation for your price range.

Believe it or not I got a pair of skull candies from fred meyer on sale for only $8 and they re great. The stock headphones have a mic though for answering calls. If you just want to jam though, get some skull candies on sale. They are awesome

HTC have been getting ICS for the last couple of days over in Europe.. So it's a little surprising that Samsung is not on the same timeline, if not even further ahead.

I think the Vivid receiving the update is a good sign that we are closer, and I completely understand the frustration. But there are plenty of other threads to talk about this in, no need for a new one.
I really really want it though, I'm waiting to root my phone after the update comes in.

As a devoted Samsungite though, not sure if I could bring myself to do it. Would someone please tell me that the Vivid sucks and is inferior to the Skyrocket in every possible way?

And its name isnt as cool!

i mean do you really want to go to the hassle of unlocking the bootloader and all that nonsense just to root your phone? not to mention that the galaxy phones have a larger dev community. htc sense <

Yeah, screw that. No one beats Samsung's screen display quality and I couldn't deal with anything less.
The Vivid has a higher resolution screen, but it's LCD and looks faded and dull next to the brilliant Skyrocket screen (just looked at a comparison on androidcommunity.com).

Xbox 360 headset

I was wondering if anyone could recommend a good low priced headset for the 360. Or if you know one that works for the PS3 and 360 that would be good.

Turtle beaches. I think I have the x 12's,but I'm not sure.
Make sure you youtube the video on how to use them simultaneously with hdmi output. You have to use the composite cable that came with your xbox, and you need to pop off the plastic housing on the xbox end with a butter knife to get it all to fit. This way you dont have to spend any extra $$ on various cables.
Duely blundered from my thunderdolt.

Not saying Amazon reviews are the most legit, but the X12's have better reviews than the AX120's. I've never bought from the site that I linked by the way, I just saw them there for cheap. And like someone already mentioned, you have to use the composite cable that came with the XBox if you use HDMI. If you don't use HDMI, don't worry about anything. If you do, you need to cut off the plastic "flap." I just used a knife, took my time, and cut it off. Now I can plug in the composite and HDMI at the same time.
Once you use a decent set of headphones, you'll never want to use the stock headset again.

Soul by ludacris

Anyone have a pair of these? Really like the look and price as compared to beats. Would like some good overear headphones that have good sound and are not ridiculous in price.
Thanks

I heard of them but never really tried them. I got the beats instead paid close to $300 for them with insurance. I'd suggest going to a best buy to try it or read the the reviews about it. If there's more good reviews than bad reviews I'd go for it.

dont get anything buy beats or soul unless you only like bass. I have both the ath m50 (over ear) and vmoda m-80 (on ear) and both so much much better then the beats and cost 150 each.
the m50s are a great set to get for 150 and sound great with our phones.

if you like to get them with the detachable cable mode, those are on sale right now for 160

Those are on ear. Not over ear. Anyway your best bet is to go to bestbuy and try them out yourself. They price match amazon.

re
i would suggest going to a headphone site to get some great information.
Head-fi.org
You will quickly find out that Beats and Soul type headphones are more about name then sound quality.
Knowledge is power.... unless all you care about is looks.. then by all means get the beats.

It's ludicrous that you think this is good.
Since you started off with you like the looks, go for it. We can suggest to your more worthwhile alternatives but deep down you'll know you prefer beats/soul.
You've reached the point of no return, best stay on your current path.
I'm not trying to diss you, just trying to give some advice on how you should make your decision. Unless you're very discerning about the quality of music you play etc etc, beats/soul would be the best for you. Especially since you really like the design. Prioritise. Do you require sound quality or "looks"

These three are important to me, in order:

2) sound quality
3) looks ( not as important but it does matter)

I love my beats studio edition. I know these going to be better out there but besides the point your going to be paying an arm and a leg for that. $70 for the souls go to bestbuy try them out and get them to price match amazon like the above poster said.

Ha ha ha everytime i go to the best buy by my house all their headphones are shot. There was a pair of the soul's that sounded like death when you raised the volume. I don't know if going off that would be the best. It seems like they are all that way. I think they allow the volume to go too loud and kills them. The beats usually sound good but they are also hooked up to their own system which I'm sure has been perfectly callibrated so that they sound their best which in the end makes it not a fair comparison.
Good luck none the less. I bought some Sony over the ear only because the cushions were so soft. A little too bassy for me but they get the job done.

I had the souls. Theyre OK. Maybe if anything, slightly better than skull candy bit nothing compared to beats
Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk 4

One more question. In your opinion does more bass equals better?

I picked these up at radio shack a couple months ago on clearance for $50 and for the price they are great, personally I think they sound better than the dre beats

No, I like some bass, but not overpowering. I like to actually hear the lyrics lol.

Ok. I recommend the Creative Aurvana Live. It should be within your price range as well. Go check out some reviews. It is also identical to the more expensive DENON AH-D1001.
It used to retail for about USD200 from memory but I believe you can get them for 50-70 now.
