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

Headphone Upgrade

Hi guys,
I need a headphone upgrade, stock ones died on one channel and arn't top notch.
I'm thinking of procuring some Sennheiser cx 880s. Good price at the mo.
Do you think these would be a psitive addition?
danke schon

Personally I'd go for Samsung, I believe they are the best for audio/visual on the market.
Klipsch S4A. I'm trying to find one.
You will NOT get more bang for your buck than these. I'd have been happy had they cost me twice the asking price here. They out-perform my £60 Senheissers easily.
http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/25661-a-Jays-One-Heavy-Bass-Impact-Earphones-Reviews.htm
Unfortunately I lost them, so using some Xmas cash I bought the top model in the range. They cost twice as much, but are about 5 times as good!!!! With the right EQ settings on PowerAmp (the best player IMO) these things are simply outstanding.
http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/a-jays-three-heavy-bass-impact-earphones-p25667.htm
Both also have the best cable I've ever encountered. Almost impossible to tangle. Just take them out your pocket, give them a shake, and they just unravel. No messing. Very very well made too. The box they come in could be used as a time capsule. The most over-packaged product I've ever bought!
You wont be disappointed with either of these.
P.S. If anyone buys these, please time how long it takes you to get the packaging open and post your results back here!
Edit: Found the a-Jay Threes £10 cheaper here...http://direct.tesco.com/q/R.213-9892.aspx

Still love skullcandy,
I have the lowrider headphones and the ink'd earphones.
Previous version of lowrider broke quite some times, but it had great support, every time I got a new one. Never had problems now with the newer version of the Lowrider. Also never had problems with the ink'd.
Next headphone i'll buy will be the Beats Audio Solo HD

I have to disagree, i think skull candy are the epitome of style of product.
They were the worse headphones i have ever brought because of the really low audio quality of both highs and low frequencies, but they were full ear headphones and not ear phones.
had 2 types of skull candy ones and they were alright but nothing special and the ones that go over your head actually snapped.
After a new pair and will give them ajay threes a try I think, decent reviews and a good price at £30
Seriously LOL at the Samsung and Skullcandy comments.
Checkout Brainwavz M3
Edit in before the real jokes come out and someone recommends getting a pair of beats hahahahahaha.
Have a look at the Razer Moray in ear earphones, they come with a little carry case, different bud sizes, and an airplane adapter. The sound on them is pretty good too. However i could be recommending them, for the simple fact that im a Razer fanboy

This, this and this. I recently bought the Fours and it's the best pair of in-ear headphones I've ever owned.
Definitely true about PowerAMP, I even combined it with Volume+ set to Beats Emulation, so happy.
Thanks for recommending the a-Jays, I bought my Fours for £20 off e-Bay full with the over-kill packaging.
been thinking of some jays... do the buttons on the four work on android? and/or does this work on the four or just the one+ ?

That app might work but it's appears to be mainly for the one button headphones while the Fours have 3, yet it seems only one works in Android.
Haven't tried CyanogenMod yet, it might fare better there.
I just bought an ajays one plus in Singapore yesterday for 90sgd, the headset controls are workin fine, the bass is awesome. You should try it ;D

Skullcandy earphones

I'm planning to buy new earphones [not headphones], from some store in mumbai, or via flipkart...so want some recommendations...
Things I'm looking for:
microphone inbuilt, so i can use them for calls (like the stock one)
better sound quality, compared to stock
medium/good length of cord (not too short, so that i can keep the phone in my jeans pocket, and still listen to music comfortably)
good enough build quality, something that can handle day-to-day use (i mean, they shouldnt be too delicate)
i would prefer skullcandy, but people lately have been complimenting senheiser also, so i'm confused...
i can just google for these features, but here's where my problem starts...
i have an apple ipod 3rd gen...and this one doesnt have any buttons on the ipod for music and volume control, the controls are present on the earphones!!
tried searching at a lot of places, but cant find any decent earphones which would work on both my devices...
even searched for "adapters", but most of them dont work with skullcandy earphones, or arent available in india atm (cant import)...
anyhelp with either the earphones, or the ipod adapter, or both, would be appreciated...
budget for earphones = 700-1300 INR (1$=55INR, atm)
I use Sennheiser earphones and am extremely satisfied with them..
{
Things I'm looking for:

good enough build quality, something that can handle day-to-day use (i mean, they shouldnt be too delicate) - The build quality is decent, i did have to go to service center to get them replaced once..
The only thing they did lack was the mic thing you mentioned..
Its also worth mentioning that their customer service and all is outstanding.
}
Thats my opinion of sennheiser , from what i've heard Skullkandy is still the leader in this field, but you seriously should consider sennheiser.
Also if you're looking for bass, give Beats a try..
For the volume control thing try-
Mx- 580..
For how much did you buy mx 580 for? With all accessories?
You got warranty for how long?
Typed on a small touchscreen
Uh, I have the mx 170 that cost INR 500 not the mx 580 which you can get for INR 1500-1800..
Warranty is for two years.

Giving a small review/update on these...
So I finally bought a pair a few months back, but I am frankly really really disappointed with skullcandy...
I bought a one for around 1199 INR, and it left a lot to be fulfilled...
Utter disappointment, as I expected something way better than the stock earphones, but it was only nice in noise-isolation, and everything else was comparable to the stock samsung earphones that came along...
And the build quality is really delicate, I was very careful with them as dropping them could have broken them...
So disappointing that I sold them off to an acquaintance within 3 weeks...
I did gave skullcandy another chance, since shortly after that, I bought another different pair/model for 699 INR...
And this one is just plain horrible...
Low volume, no clarity at higher volume (as high as it could get), poor bass, no warranty card...all in all, I was worse off than before...
Only thing going for these ones was that they had *comparatively* better build quality, and were cheaper...
Been using this for two months, but unfortunately, one of the earpieces has stopped working...
No warranty, :crying::crying:
My review, skullcandy :thumbdown:
Stay away if you can...
Stick to stock headsets, those aren't the worst pair...
well I feel skullcandy is overhyped to be frank
I always liked our stock headphones , more than the apple ones .

Apple normal earphones were better than the skullcandy in-ear types...
Used it with my iPod shuffle, and without any equalizer, the experience was horrible...
Haven't purchased the Apple new semi-in-ear earphones, anyone has them/tried them?

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.
Sent from my One X using XDA Premium HD app
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 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 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 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.

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 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 love bass and high music , just love it !
I'm enjoy from every moment when I'm listening to music.. and that the reason I ask you and anyone
Now when every one say that Dr.Dre is only name and it too much bass and expensive i don't think I will buy his product

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 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 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.

looks great headphones , I will search international shipping.. thank you
I have the lg quadbeat earphones. They are the same got them of Ebay for 20 bucks
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
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.

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.

I've heard Skullcandy nought out a small high-end brand and basically took their technology and olincorporated it into their own lines. Now I don't know how true that is. But I can definitely say their quality has improved. Whether it's from buying out a high end company or investing in their own tech. Personally I'm a big fan of Monster. I have a pair of Turbine Pro Copper ear buds that sound incredible. I haven't heard a different pair of buds that sound better. To give you an idea if how much skullcandy has improved, a friend of mine gave me a pair of Beats Studio headphones that I've been using with an inline mic as my gaming headset until I get the one I really want (which ironically are about 25% of the cost of this Beats pair that we both ended up being very underwhelmed by). U apologize for rambling. But without hearing either, I'd buy the Skullcandy of the two. Also, do keep in mind, audio devices are very user specific. That's why there's many high-end brands and not one single "best". If possible, I would suggest buying both pairs from a shop with a decent return policy, have your own little head-to-head review and then return the loser. And lastly, don't undervalue the source either. There may be comparable/better options available now, but Viper4Android has made a significant improvement to my music quality. But you do need root if you don't have it. I look forward to see what you decide. Good luck

The offical website wont deliver it to our country
If u know a good place to buy please end me a link
Um a music fan
And i love to listen to music
thankyou again
To be honest, if the bid stays about the same on these:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/MONSTER-TUR...739?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item1a02b3ba33
I couldn't suggest a pair of earbuds more. Because not many people know about em, they end up selling for far less than they're worth. And the best part is, they have a no questions asked replacement warranty. You trash your $300 earbuds, they replace em no issue. And if you can grab em at $50, it's sooooo worth it. I'll do some more research on the skull candy buds. But those are the exact buds I own and I've never heard headphones that sound better. They have like 16 ear pieces to fit your ear perfectly. And I didn't know how important that was until I used em. If you're dead-set on skullcandy, I'll do more research on em. But if the bidding stays low on those Turbines, I can't suggest them enough. I absolutely love mine and got em for 50% off at $150 and don't regret a second of it. Though I will still check into the skullcandy for you in the meantime
well I spoke to my friend that has the Skullcandy over-ear headphones. They're called Skullcandy Crusher. They have incredible range and a bass boost knob that allows you to go about as bass heavy as you could possibly need. I believe he paid $80 for them. Which is a bit out of your price-range, but the audio quality is fantastic. Not as goog ss the Monster Turbine Pros that I suggested, which are earbuds. But still WELL worth the money. I will continue to look into their earbuds specifically, but those headphones are fantastic
You should take a look over the Sol Republic Track series. Those are good headphones and the headband is made of a flexible plastic that are virtually indestructible

Mi offers good quality iem very cheap, but you will have to find a trust worthy source, as there are many fakes on Ebay and from online sellers.
Try the amazon premium headphones.
I"m a fan of Apple's EarPods because they fit well in my ears. The amazon headphones are similar in shape and all of the buttons are completely compatible.
This is the most reliable headphone reviewer I've found on the net: http://theheadphonelist.com/headphone-list/
He covers equipment from $10 earbuds to custom in-ear monitors that can run well into the thousands, so you're getting a broad range of experience.

sorry man, but both choices are kinda crappy. if you want decent slightly v-shape sounding IEMs and fully-compatible controls go for Sennheiser MM30G! good news it's always on sale for $30-35
