I'm looking for a better set of in-ear ear buds for the skyrocket than the ones that came with it.
Any recommendations?

Klipsch s4a. The best noise canceling in ear buds. I use all the time and for $99 you can't ask for more. The best in market for that price.

I use Ultimate Ears Triple.Fi 10's for mine. Got them on sale for $90 on Amazon a little while back. Worth every freaking penny... If you ever see them on sale like that again, I would HIGHLY recommend it. Best earphones I've ever, ever used...

so do both of the above have buttons/mics that work well? I've noticed with two other headsets that they had problems with noise, in comparison with the stock headsets.
For example, using a skull candy (not the best) set, when driving the voice recognition would often not work. Whereas, the stock pair would.
If you get the UE TF10's on sale, you have to get a cord with a mic for it (cords are swappable/replaceable), but yes, it works great.

Klipsch s4a are specially made for Android devices. So you are good with the best noise canceling in ear buds.

I know some people don't like them, but I'm a big fan of Skullcandy. The lifetime warranty isn't too shabby either.

My recommendation would be to plan on spending a little money. For one thing, it will be worth it and two it might take a couple sets of buds to find a pair that fit right.
Also, for me, I don't use a mic on ear buds. I'd recommend the Backbeat 903s for phone calls. They really work great this way and I was never a fan of bluetooth earpieces before them. They also double as headphones but I found when I had an iPhone that they didn't always work as well with the phone in the pocket. I just got my Skyrocket so I need to test them out. I usually use my PX 200 II Bs for music though because they travel well for over-the-ear headphones and sound better for music than the 903s.
Those S4s someone recommended do look nice though. Amazon has a good price on the non-mic version (just S4). I'm almost tempted to buy them
The Klipish image s4 look promising, I read the review for the non mic ones and look great. The s4a are even better since they have mic and volume controls compatible with android.

I like the Klipsch S4a (especially for the price), but it is NOT noise CANCELLING. It's noise ISOLATING.
On the SR (and SGS2 for that matter), the Klipsch doesn't shine though. The IEM already produces somewhat bright sound and muddy midrange, and the SR's tendency to muffle sound doesn't really help.

It all depends on what sounds good to you! I am a beats by Dr. Dre fan and have a pair of the pro studio. I do also have a BlueAnt headset for the calls. I find it really easy to slide the headset in and fold the one headphone back a bit.
It all depends on you! I personally would use the headphones of your liking and either hold the phone towards your face and you can hear what the other end is saying via headphones; or just grab a Bluetooth headset like I have.
I would also strongly recommend an a media player that has an equalizer. I personally use Winamp Pro. but there are tons out there!
Shure SE215
I love my Shure SE210's. I've had them for a few years now. Only problem is that they are strictly phones, and not a headset. The newer model has detachable wires that can be replaced with a microphone/headset wiring. The SE215 looks to be about the same price as the aforementioned Klipsch S4A. Plus, the Shure phones are higher impedence, and considering the headphone output on this phone is pretty high, I'm not sure how good those Klipsh will sound.
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..

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.

They are the best ones out there!
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 .

Anyone have any information on the sound chip that's inside of our HTC One S?

I wouldnt want to waste money on a pair of headphones that the phone cannot drive to its full potential. So pretty much just looking for a pair thats an even match against with the phone can put out. Knowaddumsayin?
I don't think anyone can answer that without knowing your price range. For in ear, I'm partial to Etymotics.
Personally, I don't think the htc one s can make magic happen out of anything over $100 lol. So probably between 60-100.
The Beats technology inside is primarily tuned for the urBeats and Solo (not HD) (you select them in the sound enhancer menu), if it's what you are talking about.
But to be honest, I don't think you need "beats" headphones to get the "Beats improvements". I would say that any pair of headphones that can deliver high power and bass can do it.

The beats headphones are good, but not worth the price tag. All they are, are fancy headphones which look cool, inside, they have the same parts as your basic headphones,
Beats Audio is just a preset EQ..
However, I like beats and i got beats headphones free with the phone.. but i most certainly wouldnt pay for them, The stock headphones work just as well.
I recommend Me electronics headphones, fantastic for the price and awesome customer service.they have many styles and qualities and get very good reviews depending on the headphone. Go to headfi for reviews based on price range.
Yea I pretty much agree with anyone here I use basic in ear skull candy headphones I got last black Friday for 10 bucks and they sound the same as when I plug in my cousins beats which he paid 79.99 for

I have a pair of Sony in ear headphones. Found them at Bestbuy for 40 USD. They have real rich sound and work great with the Beats Audio plugin. They also have an in-line microphone and play/pause forward/back answer/hangup buttons that all work on our device. I will try to find a link if you are still interested.
Keep in mind these have a real good quality if you want something kind of budget, they can definitely compare to my friends in ear Bose at 99 USD.
You can also get the best sound ever by using a 3rd party music app called PowerAMP. This gives you a crazy amount of control of EQ, bass, treble, stereo x and much more. As an audiophile I cannot live without it
Not sure where you live but the bestbuy where I live has headphones on display and you can pop the jack into your phone and test drive for yourself. I found some Sony studio style headphones for 149 that sounded better than the 299 ones. Plus some skull candy's for 129 that sounded even better. I know your price range, just saying price isn't all its cracked up to be when it comes to headphones. Plus if you know any audiophiles or DJs they will tell you beats headphones aren't worth any price they sell them for.

I have a set of Sennheiser PX100s. Luckily I got them a few years ago when they were cheap; looks like they've since been discontinued and have gone up in price. But I like them. I can't stand earbuds, I've never found a single set that stays in my ears. The PX100s are headband-style and they fold up flat. And they have good sound.
Also heard good things about Koss PortaPros, another under $50 portable headband set. Despite being over the head style, both these sets are small and compact so they won't make you look TOO weird if you're wearing them in public, although they might mess your hair up a bit if you're not careful.

Second vote for Etymotic!
I have found anything from monoprice.com to be amazing...their $2 iphone knockoffs sound better than any buds I've gotten with any phone and their $5 in-ears are even better. There are devoted communities of hackers who use their bass boost models as project phones and many audiophiles rate their over the ear models higher than phones costing 5 times more.
I know you guys are talking in the ear--
But, I have a pair of Plantronics Pulsar 590E over the ear Bluetooth headphones that have good range and nice bass.
I don't know how beats works, but no change in sound quality with it on or off--
The other day I picked up a set of Munitio 9mm tactical IEMs for my s4. They're intended for apple iphone/ipod/iPad only. The microphone works on the S4. People can hear me through it. The answer end clicker works except volume up or down. My Bose AEi, mic works too.
I wonder if other apple only headphones work with S4.. figured we could all post what works and what doesn't?
(I did do a search to see if this has been raised couldn't find anything. If it has. I apologize)

I'm referring to the microphone. For apple devices the third and fourth are reversed so its ground then mic not mic then ground.
The headphones microphone won't work on other android devices also.

Better not mix Apple and Samsung together, Apple might sue the pants off ya.
I dont think it matters which order its in.
Every band has its meaning
Plug with single - Mono
Plug with Two - Stereo
Plug with Three - Headphone/AV/Mic + Stereo
Its all marketing tactics to move more product. Everything is the same. If you say something is apple compatible of course the hipsters will flock to it instead of another headset that wasn't saying it was compatible but is. They need their ilife to be easy and everything blatantly shoved in their faces to figure things out

This is absolutely wrong. Yes the headphones will play sound, however the mic and other buttons may not work.
For example;
Klipsch S4i & Klipsch S4a
the "i" is for Apple devices, and when used on some android devices the mic and buttons dont work. The "a" is intended for Android devices and the mic and buttons dont work on Apple devices.

I tried Nokia headsets, 1 stand alone nokia with headband kind of headset and 1 headset from Nokia N8. There is something wrong with Nokia headsets since when i use them theres a channel thats way too low on volume. Its like a listening to 5.1 setup with 3 dead speakers.
Volume doesnt work. I havent tried the mic though but with the audio quality issue i didnt bother testing it.
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.

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.

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.

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

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.
