I am thinking about ordering some and just would like a little input. Thanks.

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?
Regards
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! Cheers~ it was a good decision for you to get the ibeats

are you using the in-ears or the over the head headphones? curious to know if the noise cancelling on them is noticable and is the volume louder than oem htc earphones?
bought the Monster Beats by Dre (Tour/in-ear with Control Talk) from the Apple store last week and I absolutely love them. They are replacing my old Apple in-ear headphones. Bass is sweet with no distortion. Mids and highs are spot on. Haven't yet tried them with the N1, been using them with my iPt. Not sure if the in-line remote controls/mic will work with the N1 but I will test them out sometime.

cool good to hear, let me know how they sound on the N1 and if the microphone actually works too! thanks man.
The beats are pretty good but way overpriced. Either way the output of the nexus one isn't great for audio and anything too good is a bit of a waste. Try going to head-fi to read up on iems before you buy.
Is the compatibility a hardware or software issue? Could some code be written or changed to make them work 100%?
I have the monster beats over the ears head phones. The big ones. They work perfectly fine. Also they come with the adapted to use with your nexus one which works fine. I like them a lot.
been using the in ear with control talk and they are the best headphones i have ever owned.
I have the bose quiet comfort 3 and the beats by dre top them out in quality.
Got mine for 80 bucks of craiglist brand new
used the Studio beats, they were awesome. just too big to carry around at times. so I got the klipsch s4i's. Awesome headset. ~100 but well worth it. check the cnet reviews, they're highly rated. lets me answer calls as well.
I know this thread is old... But check out Head-Fi.org when it comes to headphones.
I'd be very surprised if the Dre headphones are anything but overpriced. At first glance, it seems like my assumption is correct via my first couple threads when searching Dre Beats.
For those too lazy to look

The best headphones for smart phones are the: -
Etymotic HF2 High Fidelity Headphones
I've read the stuff on Head-fi but I still decided to buy a pair of Solo's. Why? Because I like them. I really like the looks and I think sound quality is pretty decent too. Furthermore I think they are one of the most comfortable headphones out there, which is pretty important to me too.
Of course, the fact that some people on Head-fi are not too enthousiastic about these headphones might say something. So maybe they are not the perfect headphones price/quality wise, but let's not exaggerate. For example, there are a lot of people out there that have a positive opinion about these headphones too.
What happens on forums is that in the end, if there are enough people saying bad things about something, other people will either just copycat their opinion without taking the time to develop their own opinion, or they will be influenced by these opinions while developing their own.
My 2 cents.
Now, does this Control Talk feature works on any HTC android phone??
I have had the beats over the ear for around a year now. I looked up a couple reviews and they were onsale so i took the leap.
in retrospec after doing more research and finding out about head-fi i would not buy them again.
they sound great and feel great. the "noise cancelation" is nothing to write home about. I also find it VERY annoying that the headphones cannot even work without the 2 AAA batteries in them. I use them alot for xbox with an astro mixamp and its very annoying to head over to a friends only to find out your headphones die 5 minutes into a match of your favorite game.
hooked up to my nexus they sound great, with a decent headphone amp they sound even better of course. no one buys a phone expecting to output the requires wattage.
prior to purchasing these cans i had not had much experiance over a few "high end" gaming headsets and your typical mid range dj headphones/ in ear buds and i was blown away by these. I was and still am very happy with my purchase, however i realize that for the money i could have got even better.

My thoughts exactly. Avoid BOSE or Monster if you want value for money, they are all marketing (think Apple).
I'v been using UE triple.fi 10vi for a while now..
There's no going back once you hear these babies
Get a pair of Futuresonic Atrio's, you probably never heard of them but they are the industry leader in IEM's for Concert's/bands/live performers. Great low frequency response and warm accurate highs; review. For <$200 they can't be touched by any other IEM on the market.
EDIT: Wanted to add that anything with the name Monster on it is way overpriced.
Images s4
I have listened to a few of the Beats line headphones... and they sound quite good overall. But as for in-ears I went with the Klipsch Image S4's they are amazing earbuds, and I paid like 40 bucks for one!

Good to hear the headset part works on the N1! I use these with my iPhone, and the call answer button is very convenient. I was a little bit worried it'd go to waste when my N1 arrives.

Looking for noise cancelling and black
Thanks
the ones that came with the sensation are really good imo
and i have/had the bose in ear and around ear, ibeats and Solo HD's
there really cheap too on like ebay. maybe 15 bucks, some are cheaper, like 5 or 6.
oh you want noise canceling lol..
id say the new bose around ear are good... but i'd look into other brands like Koss, Sennheiser, Audio Technica and Klipsh.
Never had any of them but I hear they are really good brands

Thanks, but all of those are pretty pricey
Yea they are. I mean, if you want bang for buck you can look at the Sennheiser HD Series. They go for pretty cheap on ebay.
I really love the Bose AE2's tho... Amazing sound and I can never hear anything around me lol
Thanks for the suggestions, I'll see what I can do
The bose ones look nice
They're not noise cancelling but the sennheisser HD-25 mkII are probably the best sound quality I've experienced from headphones.
They are what most sound engineers and DJs use, so they are designed to cut out a large amount of external sound - I have no problem listening on planes, busses etc.
Cheaper than Bose too.
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Sennheiser-II-Closed-Headphone-headband/dp/B000TDZOXG
EDIT: you can pick them up for around £130.00 on ebay
I'd recommend the Sony MDR NC33, they are in ear noise cancelling headphones and you can pick them up online for between £50-60.
You could always try the Sony MDR NC7 which are considerably cheaper at around £20-30 but are over ear.
Out of the 2 i would pick the MDR NC33's because they give a comfortable fit and are awesome in general, plus they're Sony so they are well made and have a wicked sound quality.
I don't think you can get mobile noise cancelling headphones, i know you can get noise cancelling bluetooth headsets but not as headphones, i don't think so anyway. However, if you're looking for a quality pair of mobile in ear headphones with good sound quality, and well, noise isolation and not noise cancellation, i'd try the Bose MIE2i, they go for around £90 online.
Oh wait, i've found a noise cancelling pair with an inline mic, they are the AKG K390, they are for £73.26 on Amazon.
But yeah, i'd still recommend the Sony MDR NC33 if you intend on using them solely for music, or the Bose if you want a mic.
Hope this helps
Thanks guys for the suggestions I will definitely look at the Sony ones over ear, I don't like the in ear ones merely because after sometime my ears hurt weird but yeah

I would highly recommend you seinhesser brand.. I mean, it may not look as nice as the Beats by Dre head phones, but seriously these things do pack a punch. Heh. Besides that, currently i am using a Sony Zx100 head phones. These things are cheap and are quality headphones. Hope this helped. Cheers~ good luck in your search brotha!

I got mine for $85 bux, well the V-Moda Crossfades LP (originals). If you are looking for a bit cheaper headphones, I can wholeheartedly recommend the SOL Republic Tracks. About 100 bux at Best Buy. Try them out and see if they seem good or not.
I have both the V-Moda Crossfades LPs and Sol Republic Tracks HD (HD is the highest model-also bought for $85 bux). And both are on par with clarity but the bass is there when needed. But the Sol Republic are a bit more on the bass-y side, but not obnoxious. lol
However if you are looking for cheaper than that, go with the Koss Porta Pro. Its bit retro, but its and awesome headset for clarity. (retail is about $35 bux). Not bassy as the beats, but they are moderate in bass but it's just clear as heck! Mine broke after years of use lol. I am talking about a good 12 years or so.

It was when it was priced like for $100, but $150, it's a toss up. I do like them, but look a little too bulky for me. The Vmoda Crossfade LPs are as bulky as I can get without getting to look like a helicopter pilot .
Sennheiser MM60 is definitely the very best if you want old school open air style.

they drop then to 30€

For sound quality I would rather go for JVC.
I bought Philips SHE8500, which is on top why I don't know, and was a bit dissapointed. The level of BASS was low.
Then I bought one from JVC and it was perfect. JVC HA F150B - sound is just perfect.
I never used Phillips SHQ1000.

It also depends on how you want to use the earphones..jogging or just lying down listening to music. If you prefer using it while jogging, i suggest you get something sweat and water proof. And somethings that doesn't easily come off when you jog.
I just use them while walking or sit down somewhere.

i bought some ultimate ears super.fi 5 pro from ebay after reading some reviews.
when released they cost about 180€ i got them for just under 50€.
if you want to spent more money and want some really good sound, look for the triple.fi 10 pro.
Just got me these pair http://www.buy.com/prod/monster-diddybeats-high-performance-in-ear-headphones/215198711.html They fall right in your price range. I know people dont like beats headset for various reasons. Unless you are an audiophiles, i dont think they make too much different. I read a few reviews and everyone seem to like it. Mine will arrive the 20th, i'll let you know how they sound. Hopefully the price will stay the same for the next few days for you.

Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
I already bought Monster Ibeat beats audio by Dr.Dre original that came with the hTC Rezound and Sensation with control talk etc. Just waiting for it to arrive
First tip: Different people have different taste. 250 can buy you some really good sounding products. I would recommend HeadRoom because they provide a lot of guidance based on price and taste and even provide you with cool frequency response graphs. Really worth doing a few hours of research over if you're spending that kind of money. At that price, good brands to keep your eyes open for: Sennheiser, AKG, Beyerdynamic, Denon, and Audio Technica.
Head-fi is a good resource but ABSOLUTELY chock full of opinion and voodoo. First thing to remember is that your taste might not equal someone elses, though on Head-Fi, nearly everything is taken as fact.
Final tip: Don't buy it if it has someone's name on it. This includes Beats, Soul, etc. It's not that they're bad per se, just overpriced. You can buy some hard hitting heavy bass headphones like Beats for much less. For example, the Audio Technica ATH-M50 is 150 on amazon and have a very similar sound to the 300 dollar Beats over ears.
sassafras
The ATH-M50 / M50s are great headphones. I would take those over any pair of beats.
The DJ headphones I use are Sennheiser HD25IIs. A bit more pricey, but great on ear headphones with good isolation while being light weight.
For long periods of use, I use my Audio Technica ATH-AD700s.
For IEMs I just Klipsch S4s
If you want to buy a pair of headphones. Let me know what your budget is and what kind of headphones you want (IEMs, on ear, over ear) and I can find the best pair.
Another tip- never buy a headset. ever.
If you want something good looking like the Beats with quality sound, wait for the P3s : http://www.bowers-wilkins.com/Headphones/Headphones/P3/explore.html
If they're anything like the P5s, they're going to be amazing.

They truely, truely are. How can anyone favor beats? They're disgustingly bass heavy.
I got a pair of urbeats headphones free through work. Yes, they're quite bass heavy, but the sound isn't terrible.
What I'm really looking for is something with an in-line mic and controls. I really like the 3 buttons on the remote to pause, skip, and rewind.
Are there any other headphones on the market besides the beats that have a mic and the 3 button controls? I wanted to get the Klipsch S4a's, but they only have the single button control.
Is there anything (earbuds) in the $50-ish range that are any better than what the phones come with? I haven't opened the ones the HTC came with, but they look like the others.... a joke.
I only *rarely* use headphones/earbuds so I don't need a $250pr. I've tried Beats, thought they were very comfortable.
Also, if I could get a helmet on over them, that would be a plus.
I have two pair of breasts. Over the ear and in ear and I love them both. It's different for everyone though

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

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.

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.

I heard a lot about Sennheiser. They're supposed to be a real good company for headphones

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!
Happy New Years!

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.
EDIT: unless you're looking for a necklace that also emits sound, then I'd go with the beats.

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.

try Logitech or Genius ............... !!!!!
