In the ear headphones will sound better. Completely better. Better sound will come out of the in the ear and if I'm not mistaken they are cheaper then headphones.

What can you say about Koss The Plug?
I'm sure you will like them. Reports are that they sound good and won't fall out easy. Good sound. There is not a carrying case included. Also they are said to be uncomfortable sometimes...my guess is after wearing them for a long while.

Between those two the in ears are probably going to give you better sound than that particular pair or over ears. Keeping them in for extended periods will be kinda annoying though. If you want really good sound in over ears you will have to spend a little more. Probably closer to 50-60. The Samson SR850 are a great pair of lower end phones if you have a slightly higher budget.

I have a pair of monoprices, and I can attest to their quality. They easily kick the bajeebus out of any of your normal crap, including skullcandies, and factoring in price, easily beats (if I worked at a percentage, for 5% of the price I get 70-90% the quality), and anything within 2-40 dollars of that.
I can also attest to J3's, which have great bass and extremely clear mid and high ranges (you might need an equalizer to bring out the mid and high ranges though, the lower ranges tend to get amplified).
Also try burning in your buds. At worse nothing happens, at best you get way better sound.
It also depends how much volume level you like when listening music,and what kind of music you like.Inear have lower impedance thus they sound louder,and you have almost complete isolation from enverionment.But I think headphones sounds more natural,but not as loud as inear.I use inear when traveling,running,etc,and headphones at home.

I have beats tour (in ear) and solo hds (over ear) and I must say I prefer the compact in ear with noise cancellation. The sound quality seems better to me, but that's just me.

In ear headphones are less healthy for your ears and you will notice it when you stop hearing properly. Yes they are cheaper, but I recommend you buying some over head phones. And about the plugs, I always end breaking the overhead cable that goes to the speaker, so I ended up buying the ones that has minijack plug in the speaker as well as in the cable.
I think the sound of headphone(fullsize type) is better than ear phone. Because sound space is larger(eardrum area+the outside). But It's not portable or bulky. If you often play sport or move, earphone is better. So, It depend on you.
I think Koss Porta Pro, senheiser hd201,hd202, soundmagic pl11 are good choices.
I'm using soundmagic pl11:good:

+1. I love these head phones. For ones with a little less bulk, I use these.

I have the ones w/o the mic and just use a bluetooth headset. But these have the best sound quality I've ever heard from in ear headphones. You can find them cheaper elsewhere though, for under $100.
I use Shure SE530 earphones, if you're going to have a phone with a killer Wolfson DAC like the Charge then you should definitely be using something that's at least pretty decent.
Google Music's quality seems a bit suspect to me, though. Aside from general glitchiness and the skips/pops that seem to occur, I'm finding that the same songs sound cleaner when played through PowerAmp. Not sure what's going on here but if they're really streaming 320kbps MP3 then it leaves a lot to be desired.

I praise the audio amplifier in the one x. It's accurate, and pushes out some serious acoustic detail.
However, it's a bit on the quiet side. Music is just not loud enough through the headphone jack.
My transformer with voodoo sound is loud, accurate, and downright amazing. I hate to see the great amp in this phone being limited to what it is.
Does anyone else think so?
Does anyone have details on what kind of amplifier the phone uses? If it's a wolfson by any chance, we may have a shot at voodoo once we're rooted and unlocked.

My testing:
Beats Studio (Sure, not the best, but I love listening to these, so much fun)
Klipsch S4
V-Moda Vibe
Ultimate Ears Super.Fi 5EB
Cassette adapter for the car (Acura TL, ELS system)
Klipsch ProMedia 2.1
Klipsch Quintet III w/ Sub-12 subwoofer and a Yamaha 5.1 channel amp
Results:
Beats: Nice, detailed sound. I had to change the EQ settings, the headset type set to "other" did not seem to suit these as well as the solo/urbeats(?) settings. Max volume wasn't enough.
S4's: At the gym. Decent isolation as usual, a bit of a hissing sound, max volume was sufficient, but I could have raised it a little more. (Dubstep time)
Vibe: Same as the S4's essentially, a bit muddier on the lower end and a somewhat flat middle, but that's expected from this headset.
Super.fi 5EB: Great bass, crisp highs, mellow mids, just seriously not loud enough.
Cassette adapter: Probably the best test here. Usually with another source, I'd have to halve the output volume to avoid hissing and distortion. I was able to MAX the volume on the one-x and still maintain crisp, accurate sound. Even putting the system at 30/40 wasn't enough, you can almost hear the "missing potential" after having listened to the system for years.
ProMedia 2.1: Computer speakers, ran through line-in with a Creative XMod. Good sound, very accurate, Similar to the cassette adapter, I had to up the output volume to match my settings to produce that "kick".
Quintets + Sub-12: Awesome, sounds amazing. But then again, this system is pumping out much more power than the others, and amplifying the input signal wasn't a problem. No issues here.
I'm using the AT&T version by the way, not the international.
It just isn't pushing out what it should. Every phone or mp3 player I've had was louder than this when it came to audio output. If we're rooted, perhaps Volume+ will do the trick.
Does anyone know what kind of DAC this phone has?
Side note: The speaker is fine in my opinion. It's nowhere near as loud as my Atrix, but it's adequate. I'll hear everything it pumps out.
In addition to the question about what DAC the phone has, does anyone happen to know the impedance it's designed for?

I have a set of Sony MDR-EX51LP (in-ear) and the volume is comparable with that of my iPhone 4.
I did notice the headphones that came with my iPhone are very loud compared to the Sony ones above. I get the same results with my iPhone, the apple ones are just so much louder. Once my One X charges back up again, I'll run some tests to compare it to my iPhone but I don't think I've noticed much of a difference so far.
Just found out that my current earphone is faulty (one side have sound the other side doesn't), so i was wondering if that is any other earphone that will produce a good bass sound like Beats, but beats earphone is way too expensive.

if you like plugs then you cant really beat the price of the skull candy inkd and if you want to spend a little more the klipsch buds are nice. i use Shure SE115M only when there is no chance of breaking them. the skull candy are about $15 w/o mic and $20 w/ mic and if you happen to snag them you wont be too pissed if they break.
V-Modas give a good thorough bass, but the sound, depending on genre, production, mp3 quality (I use FLAC), etc. For some better defined bass, not so loud as VModa, still loud though, but definitely better in terms of aural quality you could give the AKG in ear series (330, 540, perhaps 370) a shot.
Look at sennhiser - I had a pair of cx 300 ii which were unreliable and broke (got it swapped - same issue of one cutting out) but for the price were good sounding. A friend has had the same earphones for a while and I don't think his have gone wrong

Since I thought I lost my cheap JVC Marshmallows over the weekend, I picked up a pair of Skullcandy Ink'd based on the opinions in this thread. I don't know what true audiophile earphones sound like, but I have to say I really like the Ink'd buds a lot. They have solid bass and good sound clarity all around. Thanks to everyone who recommended them.
I did find my JVCs yesterday though. Turns out they went through the washing machine in my pocket and still work great. I think they sound pretty good too, if you're looking for another inexpensive alternative.
I'm surprised that some people actually suggest skullcandy. They suck massive ****. They are incredibly overpriced for what they really are. They are simple 2 dollar production cost generic headphones with the skullcandy logo slapped on. They sound horrible and the value is even worse. If you're going to get skullcandy's you might as well buy generic headphones from a site like dealextreme.com.
If you're willing to go past generic take a look at some sennheiser cx300.
I'm going to link you a site that actually tests the headphones, not just on the reviewers personal ears, but with graphs of the actual frequency response and such! The site has helped me so much in determining what is good and what isn't with precision.
http://www.headphone.com/headphones/in-ear.php
They mostly list more expensive headphones though you can always get them cheaper than at that store. The reason they usually review the more expensive headphones is because the graphs are aimed at audiophiles.
I had a set of Klipsch Image S4. Pretty good monitors, heavy on bass. I'd recommend the S4s since you're looking for lots of base.
Personally, I rock Etymotic now.

I have heard control talk doesn't work. But if you can test it in a store and download Jays Headset app from the market. The app will map the center/answer/call button to control volume if pressed x number of times and can be customized.
But test out the headphones in the store and call someone using the headphones to see if the mic works for the phone. I have heard conflicting things.

Just use the Jays headset app to map the button presses to control volume. The volume buttons on the S4 do not work from what I know. Only the center, answer end button and mic of course. Introduce the jays headset app and that should solve your probs. I mean you can get the S4a - made for Android, but not really needed.
As for hip hop/R&B it should work great. I have the mid range Shure SE215 and they are pretty good on the bass. The key to better bass in IEH is to get a good seal on the earbuds.

completely agree with the s4/se215, i can also recomend the mdr-ex310lp which have a pretty good bass response with the large driver they have helps alot,

What earphones/headphones do you guys use with your oneplus one!?
I'm using the JayBird Bluebirds X bluetooth wireless headphones. They're awesome. For sure a little pricey, but the sound quality and fit is the best of any in-ear headphone I've tried. Plus I work out a lot, and 6 months on, they're holding up brilliantly.

Oh and paired with the Viper4Android app, they sound even better. Was a little disappointed with the stock EQ app on the OPO, but then again, it's probably sufficient for most people.

Also using the Jaybird Bluebird X bluetooth in-ear headphones when working out, doing yard work or anything else that I might sweat with. Usually use my prior iPhone 5S headphones when I'm just lounging (they're actually pretty good), and if I need concentration or am traveling I use my Bose QC15. I haven't found the audio FX app to be a benefit to the sound of my music, so I keep it disabled.
