Bt itz pretty much expensive.....
Sent from my HTC Desire S using xda premium

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 had same problem with my headphones too! I can give you few advice. 1) The cord should be flat. 2) The plug have to be with protection (like in htc E240) 3) Better if it has metal "shell". 4) read reviews as much as possible!)). I hope it will help

Help me decide on headphones..

I know there are a couple threads throughout xda about which are the best headphones but I figured I'd ask in my own thread cuz my priorities may be different than others. If this should be in Q&A, the mods can you please move it?
I had a pair of ibeats headphones that came with the Rezound. They broke so Verizon sent me a brand new pair in the retail box that you would get at Target or Best Buy. There are a little bit different than the first ones. Anyways, the right ear bud is losing its sound compared to the left one so I need a new pair.
I LOVED the sound from beats. I listen to a lot of rap so I like deep bass. Are there any headphones that sound just as nice or better at a lower or equal price? I really want the studios or pros but it's too much for me to spend right now.
I've seen people mention the s4i's. Do they have deep bass like the beats?
P. S. I also didn't care for the way the ibeats felt in my ear. They weren't comfortable. So something with a nice fit for long periods would be a plus.

There's nothing that comes to mind that compares to the bass from Beats by Dre.
I personally don't have the S4i because those are meant to be used with Apple devices. I do on the other hand have the S4a and they don't fill the bottom end as much for songs with deep bass, but they are crisp and clear. Very evenly toned.
If you want good bass, check out the IE monitors that I mentioned in the other thread.

I'd put my Bose headphones up against the beats any day
Sent from my One X using Tapatalk 2

I'd take Sennheiser over Beats or Bose any day of the week.

Audio Technica ATH-M50's like these http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/produ..._ATH_M50_Professional_Closed_Back_Studio.html the Sony MDR-V6 or a pair of Sennhaiser HD 280 PROs, HD 448s or higher, depending on your budget.
Edit: Since you want bass, I know the 280 PROs are considered to be pretty deep sounding but I don't know about the rest. I have HD 448s and love them but I like flat EQ, so they probably aren't for you. You should read reviews on audiophile sites to see which model matches your preferences.

I bought some beats tour headphones a while back and I am unhappy with how things ended up. My wife couldn't find her gym headphones so she grabbed my beats and now she won't give them back or share them with me. Always connected to her phone. I could justify buying another pair but don't want to drop the money on a second pair at the moment. Great headphones though.

I have a pair of Porta Pros too. They're pretty great for the money, but they're not very comfortable for long use and they're completely open. So, if there is any background noise, you can't hear the music anymore

I dunno man... I like the diddy beats in ears

I thought that there would be some audiophiles on XDA but apparently not. Beats? Bose? Horrible waste of money. Porta Pros are great for the price. But like previously stated, they leak, a lot. The ATH M50's are great as well. Very good entry level audiophile headphones. If you're budget allows it, the DT 770 Pro 80 Ohms are also really good.

i still the bose buds are the best until i use another set that satisfies my ears like that do nothing will change my mind

They may not be terribly expensive, but my pair of a-JAYS Two are great headphones. I was actually surprised how good they sound.

I actually really liked the sound of the beats headsets that I've tried. I'm just looking for something similar that may be less expensive or around the same price.
What I didn't care for with the ibeats were the way they felt in my ear. It got uncomfortable after a while.

Shure SE315's. Beautiful rich sound.
Sent from my HTC One XL using xda app-developers app

i bought sol republics, used my gf's best buy discount and got em for 50 dollars and they are same quality as beats, love em! only thing i dont like about them is i cant wear em for a few hours or they begin hurting the top of my ears. but they retail for 120 dollars. best purchase i bought in a while! they also sound amazing on the one xl, beats is still active and gives it that amazing deep bass!

You get better sound out of cans. Are you fixed on earbuds or will over the ear do? You mentioned studios, so I assume you're ok with over the ear. Because the driver is bigger, the sound is much richer dollar-for-dollar.
Glaucoma Cat had some solid recommendations. If you're looking to spend a little less, the zx-600's are pretty good. You can find them on sale for around 50.

Can anyone recommend earphones with a good handsfree system that works? I tried the S4a, and while it sounds great, I hate the one button control. Is there a three button control earphone that allows me to play/pause, change tracks, vol. up/down, answer calls and finish them too? And is there one that can allow me to launch google voice actions?

What do you think about the google headphone

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.

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.

http://www.amazon.com/Hands-Free-Stereo-Headset-iPhones-Models/dp/B005QAV6FC
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.

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

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.

Alternative earphone for i9105/P

Well first of all,i'm not exactly a audiophile,but the original earphone given by samsung are not really satisfy.

anyone here can recommend/suggest any nice entry level IEM to accompany our device? what earphone you guys using?
that's aside,anyone know what audio chipset our device using?i know the original s2 use yamaha,been wondering what's in our device. :laugh:

i dont know if you know this brand but try SenHeiser

I am bit suppreised! I had some samsung, philips (2x), htc (2x)... panasonic and senheiser (not the cheapes ones;P) and I really like the oryginal ones from s2+.
had even some fights for them with by women.

Aha, good topic. A semi-audiophile here. ;p
You can't go wrong with Sennheiser, be it earbuds or IEMs; entry level or mid or audiophile grade.
Personally I use buds as I can't stand IEMs.
If you're looking for IEMs, then you're spoilt for choice. Besides Sennheiser, Audio-Technica makes decent entry level to mid-range stuff too.
But, read these and decide yourself

For using with the phone, Sennheiser MX580. I bought from this Malaysian online seller
http://www.lelong.com.my/merchant/davis.htm
Think you should buy online. Retail prices at shops in Malaysia are ridiculous, even for entry level. And most of the reputable brands seem to only be available at audiophile shops.
Agree with Brian about Skullcandy. They are surprisingly decent for entry level. Before i actually tested a pair, I thought they're crap like Beats lol

i think i gonna get a meelec m9 for the best possible entry/budget earhphone,hope will work out :fingers-crossed:

so it was dress casual day for my school and i wore a pair of shorts with a few pockets
i put my samsung stock earphone in the lower one and when i got home i took out my phone, wallet and forgot about the earphone
it was in the pocket and i put it in the washing machine and i realized what happened the next day! :silly:
i took it out and found some moisture on the bud
tried it on my iPod Nano
works perfectly fine
but i didn't wanna take the risk as i hate moisture in my electronic products
so i bought a new skullcandy earphone.... not quite expensive, around $230 HKD. the sound quality is good but i'm still fitting into the new earphone's sounds. though it's great!!
so i really suggest you guys to choose skullcandy instead of the other brand
beats is totally overpriced

i brought a cheap earphone for myself,a hippo boom,cause i love bass :victory:
i agree with you,though beats are nice,but for that value,we can get something better,like shure, tdk, beyerdynamic

Another great alternative are the headphones from HTC phones. They works well with SGSII+.:victory:

I recently bought and tried the MH-EX300AP headset, first of all they worked :good: as for sound quality they're quite standard, just like the ones you'd get with older Xperia's (e.g. my WT19i headset quality was same). But they're cheap which is good.
The MH750 seems a lot better, it is more expensive, so may be better. Although I haven't tried them for myself.

Sony Mh750 vs ex300AP

I would like to provide my comparison between the mh750 and the ex300ap. (note: my phone is a HTC one X, previous phone was a SONY Xperia P with which i got the mh750. Later bought another pair to compare with the ex300ap, both of em purchased from ebay.in.
Bass on the mh750 is more mostly because of the fact that there is no leakage of air between the driver and the ear drums once inserted (this is the reason why both the mh750 and the mh1 is so painful in the ear. Especially the vacuum effect while pulling out). The ex300 on the other hand has a very different design. The way it enters the ear and the way it remains there is something to praise. I didnt know inears can be comfortable too until i tried these. The vacuum effect is nil, insertion is easy and it stays put without causing any irritation. Although i would advice to use a smaller earbud (take from your previous inear sets maybe, as extra ear buds arent provided with this). This helps to insert it much deeper. And unlike the mh750, inserting it deeper isnt painful as the air gets out to maintain normal pressure, same goes for taking it out, no more POPing when pulling it out. Volume is a bit less (vs mh750), but not too less either. Am using it on my HTC One X and i cant reach max volume without the risk of experiencing pain, so its good enough. Overall signature of the sound is kinda dull (although not as dull as the pathetic sounding mh750). Clarity and mids are more pronounced in the ex300 so definitely its an upgrade in sound 'quality' but this doesnt mean its perfect. Better than mh750 yes.... but sound quality isnt something to write home about. I have a sennheiser HD202 so i know the meaning of clarity. Using the ex300 on flat eq is not advisable. Rather apply a U shape eq or 'rock' eq to get a much much better experience (keep the mids untouched if possible, basically make the U shape 'above' the base frequency line on the equalizer, not through it). The ex300 is more flexible with equalizers than mh750 which no matter how you mess with it the output just doesn't sound pleasing. The thing that makes the ex300 stand out is its wider soundstage. I have used all stock earbuds of all the manufacturers (sony, HTC, samsung, LG, nokia) and these are the best in this aspect. The sound will keep getting better till it reaches full burn in. I just recently bought the ex300ap. Build quality wise the plug on the ex300 is much better while the cable is thicker on the mh750. Quality of cable on the ex300 isnt bad but can be snapped easily by the looks of it. Cant expect any better for the price. The larger 13.5mm driver does make a difference as the sound seems more fuller, kinda like am listening to a over ear headphone. There is no distortion on high volume or bass. Has the ability to extend very deep (as far as 15hz). Bigger driver also gives a very obvious advantage. That is if the earbud does get a bit loose, the sound doesnt go too quiet or too low on the bass in an instant like other headsets. This keeps us from fidgeting with the earphone too much to get that 'perfect' fix or sound every time you move your head. So basically am very happy with it.
Mind you, am only making these comparisons with stock earphones only because these are very good value for money and are more useful (having mic and button as an added extra). Very cheap price just makes it impossible to complain about anything at all. Each of the above can be had for much less than 10$ on ebay (Ebay india cost for ex300ap is 300-500 INR, the mh750 200-400 INR). THAT cheap.
If i am to rate the two then here goes,
Bass: 4 star to the mh750/ 3.5 star to the ex300
Mids: 2.5 vs 3
Treble: 1.5 vs 2.5.
Am basing the above rating to my sennheiser HD202 which is my current best for the type of music i prefer. Usually all those R&B, HipHop, pop, rock, country, bollywood (basically everything that doesnt have mad men shouting in it like those heavy metal kinds).

I buyed ex300ap from Ebay..the voice quality was pathetic.The pairs you are getting in 500 from ebay whether it is mh750 or ex300ap,they are not original.they are oem product.

First of all am not stupid. I made it 100% sure to know its not oem and later after receiving I compared it to a friend's ex 300ap that came with his Z and they are cent per cent same. Same plastic cover, same design, same cable, same plug, same material, original tag with 16 digit serial numbers n all.
And as for the sound I did say it's not good enough without eq but compared to mh 750 it's a mile ahead in sound quality and light years ahead in comfort. I can't even tell its inside my ears.
My point is, if you want to decide between the mh750 and ex300ap.... Go for the latter.

Oh and please note the fact that the kind of sound am enjoying now has lots of factors working upon it such as,
1. HTC Beats Audio (my phone is HTC One X endevoru)
2. 'Nrg player' with following settings,
Bass boost: 10
Treble boost: 2
Reverbration: 7
Pre Amp limit: 8%
Custom Equalizer with; 14-10-0-0-2-7-7-5-8-11 (from top to bottom i.e low to high frequency, hence first 14 is for 32hz and last 11 is for 16k hz).
Anyone with HOX should try above settings on this headphone, I bet you won't listen to any other (first of all because of the tonality and second of all the COMFORT).
---------- Post added at 01:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:11 PM ----------
Why not power amp you may ask but I just don't like the tonality of poweramp. Nrg player reverbration makes music very comfortable to listen to. Poweramp although is best to squeeze every single drop of a device's potential but I would rather use it with music systems and external speakers, not inears. Stereo separation sucks in PowerAmp (it's surround effect thing is pathetic ).

That's a nice piece of review/info brother..thanks. Actually i was quiet confused on listening both pairs of headsets that which one was actually sounding better. :cyclops:

It sucks a big time bro. Buy beats instead.
