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).

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.

i read in the forum that have any app that control on the pins, like one click its play/stop , two clicks its next song..
the question if its realy working

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.

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

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

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:

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 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.
---------- Post added at 01:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:58 PM ----------
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.

Wired earphones recommendation

As the title suggests, I need a recommendation on which earphones to buy. I have difficulty finding something myself as I don't have much experience when it comes to this. I'm going for something with good bass and good sound quality in general, which would cost me max. €60.
Thanks in advance!

I use Sennheiser CX 300 II and I bought in Italy for 35€.
I use Sennheiser CX 150 too and they are less expensive.
Both provide very good basses and very good quality. Remember that every earphone need 10-12 hours of work to get their best quality.
I talk as audiophile, I love music and I love listening music is a very good way

Try SoundMagic E10 or E10M. I had few Sennheiser's in my life, few better earphones and that, what SoundMagic offers is a real MAGIC. Best earphones I've ever had.

Sony isnt kidding when it says "extra bass" they are durable, have a serrated cord so doesnt tangle.
and the audio output is epic,
plus if u put pure sonico sound mod + viper audio fx on your xperia Z. u can actually tap into the full potential of these babies.
:good:

@cervandes
I decided to go for the e10, and they arrived today. Been checking if if they are original. Everything seems to be okay physically speaking, except for the M310 printed on the other side of the plastic where the ends of right and left earphone meet. That left me a bit puzzled and concerned as I can't find any pic with that printed on it. Also, if these are legit, they now come with hard case instead of a pouch.

You need to use them for few hours to make them work like they should. You will notice a very big difference between sound quality just after unpacked and after 10 or 20 hours od playing.
About the printing... Try write to them on facebook? But I think, there's no Soundmagic's fake's... In my country there is a lot of crap from china and You have to be vary carefull when buying staff like headphones. I havn't seen fake E10 or any oder model from Soundmagic.

Best headphones i ever bought are actually Sony!
I recommend Sony M1HC. They are in-ear and the sound is really nice. Plus the price is surprisingly low.

Sony isnt kidding when it says "extra bass" they are durable, have a serrated cord so doesnt tangle.
and the audio output is epic,
plus if u put pure sonico sound mod + viper audio fx on your xperia Z. u can actually tap into the full potential of these babies.

The MDR XB90s are even better. I'm using it with my XZ and Viper4Android and man... I honestly couldn't ask for anything better.

I decided to go for the e10, and they arrived today. Been checking if if they are original. Everything seems to be okay physically speaking, except for the M310 printed on the other side of the plastic where the ends of right and left earphone meet. That left me a bit puzzled and concerned as I can't find any pic with that printed on it. Also, if these are legit, they now come with hard case instead of a pouch.

Hi there,
I recently bought a pair from Amazon which were supplied from a third party. They arrived and looked genuine but the sound quality was awful. The vocals were tinny and the bass was non existent
Suspicious, I bought another pair (this time direct from Amazon) and the sound quality was immense, light years ahead and considerably better than the fakes.
The packaging, look, feel, case and everything was the same except for the fake ones had M310 printed on them and the genuine ones had M304.
I recommend you send them back and buy a real pair, you'll notice the difference immediately.

Hello, one thing confuses me though. The package had a serial number on it by which one can check on SoundMagic's webpage whether the product really is theirs/original. Now, judging by that number, the product is not a fake, but I can see that being somehow faked as well. I'll post pics of the package and earphones in a minute.

Here are the pics of the aforementioned, possibly fake, product (click on the pic for a bigger resolution). A mail was sent to SoundMagic as well, to see if this really is a counterfeit.
Edit2:
Did some Google search and found some images of these earphones with different numbers, I'm not sure what they represent though. The numbers are M104, M204, M307. It seems it's a serial number of a sort.

Still probably fakes

Hey,
Thanks for the pics, I still think they're fake and the reason is the front picture with the What Hi-Fi logos on.
On the fake pair I had, the text of "HEADPHONES" and "SOUNDMAGIC" was a bit blurry but on the real pair it was very crisp and clear. I took some photos so I'll try and post them later to show you what I mean.
Perhaps the numbers on the wire are OK?

Hi Again,
Photos posted to stooorage (like the site BTW) and you can find them here (I'm <10 posts so no links in posts at them moment!)

You can see the difference in the logo print above and below you can see a lack of "crispness" on the fake text compared to the real one.
stooorage. com/show/2707/11148751_fake2.jpg
stooorage. com/show/2707/11148753_real2.jpg
Unbelievably good fake packaging though, the differences are tiny.
Hope this helps!
Mark
P.S. The other thing I noticed was the plastic of the cable was a bit "glossy" on the fake pair compared to a more "matt" finish on the real pair.

@MarkMagic
I believe my e10's are actually the real deal. Haven't gotten a reply from SoundMagic to confirm this, but the sound is good and it seems these are the new series. A question though: did you get a number on the fake package with which you can confirm the product actually came from SoundMagic? Also, the letters printed on the package are crisp. All in all, everything seems to be original.

I had a lot of headsets (20+) and the best I had was sony (fabric from xperia Z) and KEF m200 (using till now) all sennheisers soundmagics denons and other audio brands were good till I heard KEF m200 extraordinary sound (for all kind of music) they're worth the money

Roar, i don't know how much is that in dollars $ even my keyboard dont have that symbol
but my personal preference are Monster Turbine although it's already discontinued but it's worthed... but if you going to bought it now it's still 6 items left on Amazon

It depends on what kind you like. For me I dont like in ear types they hurt my ear after a while
My favorite is skullcandy fix I can use it to sleep and stays in without having trouble of hurting for staying too long and the quality is the best for me

Need suggestions with earphone/earplugs

I used to use iphone6 but it broke and I'm still using the earphones which are manufatured by Sound Magic, I think it's a chinese brand, as I bought it in China, the sound quality's good but only the middle button is working with my nexus6p, so I can only answer/hang up, or play/pause.
So what earphones are everyone using?
Thx.
PS: I like listening to soft/slow music.

I've been using Anker SoundBuds for a few months. It has play, pause, next, off buttons.
Pros: compatible with all my phones, good battery life (has BLE, was already perfect on android 7.0), holds well on ears, magnet is nice to keep them folded, good sound
Cons: manufacturing quality could have been a bit better. I'm using them a lot and the power button is a bit loose and the inter-buds connection is a bit loose at the basis of the buds.
I recommend! Very good quality/price ratio.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01G60GO7K I use these, the reviews speak for themselves. It sounds better than beats.

SOL Republic. I will post link shortly.

Klipsch , Sennheiser and Bose those brand are the best for me,

Monoprice 8323 for over-ear.
less than $30 bucks; studio sound quality. I listen to many different types of music (~10 or so variations of metal, punk rock, grunge, dubstep, chillstep, game osts, rap, music from the 70's, etc), and they perform stellar in all the aforementioned.

If you want go cheap with very good quality go with Xiaomi Piston! Can't go.wrong with this one

I never considered Beats to be GOOD SOUND QUALITY, it's more of a fashion typed brand. There are a lot of brands that have better sounds, but I will look into what u posted, THX!

According to you description the price seems ok for me, as I'm looking for sth within 400 chinese yuan, now I have to see where I can get this in China, there are a few brands that are not sold or limitly sold in China.
I can only find the portable battery chargers and plugs and wires made by Anker for now it seems.

Good luck finding the buds then. I also use USB micro cables from Anker, they are really fantastic.

I myself hate those In-Ear buds. After long months off searching I found my perfect BT-plugs.

Review: NC60 Wireless AKG Headphones

The headphones are cool, I just got mine today. They "feel"high quality, the controls are well made and snappy, but not too clicky. The bag and packaging are really top notch, like 7/10 maybe 8/10 (no leather?! OMG!!)
The noise cancelling part really works, and is fun to show my coworkers who haven't experienced that before. It takes out 2 out of 10 of all ambient noise, which if were being honest is almost all background noise in normal settings. Inside my house it takes out all background noise. On my porch near the interstate it decreases highway noise by about half.
The sound quality is good. I have a set of in ear Beats I paid $300 for, and they sound better than those. The volume goes louder than I want to listen to, and the bass is better than all the other headphones I have, but I do love me some bass (so there could be giant sub woofers on my head and i would be happy).
As for cons, a guy at my work also makes a good living being a DJ, and he refused to try them on; He said they look gay. So, idk if we trust his fashion judgement or not, but I guess hes gonna know what gay headphones look like... lol.
If I was paying for them, I'd happily pay $250, as they have good sound, actual noise canceling that I can tell is working, long battery, good construction, and well made and just plain nice case (and they fold up and fit right in there with a little side pouch part for the cables).

$250? They're ok. High middle of the road headphones. First on ears I've used in quite a bit of time. The noise cancellation is pretty good. Sound is above average. Today I think I noticed when the music is slower and has no bass there is static. Then the song got bassy again and static went away. I've read reviews of his hum or static, with some reviewers mentioning it is a constant. I am not bothered to listen more today but will report more. I think the going rate of about $150 is about the most these are worth. These are nowhere near worth $300. Both my Beyerdynamics are MSRP $300 and closer to worth it and I paid what these are going for. Perhaps if the AKGN60 were over ear they would fare even better but I am not a portable audio aficionado. Home theater audiophile is my game.

I am gonna sell both pairs we got! Not my style of headphones!

You can send me one for free, I'll pay shipping? ? I don't want to share mine with my wife.

Thanks for the review. Sounds like a great pair of headset. PS - It's Bass not Base

AKG???
I remember this brand having a good unique sound. Well after opening these headphones up and listening for a bit, quite frankly these do not by any means come close to what they are asking retail for. Now don't get me wrong they sound alright but me personally I'd market this as 149$.
My reason for that price is based off this, Bose QC 35 ii is also priced at 299$. And for the same money the Bose QC 35 ii sound better in every genre, they have clearer vocals, & also has more depth(oomph) to the bass. They have a much better Noise Cancellation setup due to the fact they are Over-Ear vs On-Ear. Can't complain when they are free but in retrospect can't see anyone spending that much for the headphones in the first place when they don't even come close to competing with Bose QC 35 ii, Sony WH-1000XM2 and granted those 2 headphones are Over-Ear design.
However i'd safely feel like the Bowers & Wilkins P5 or the Bang & Olufsen H8 do a better job as well for the same money.

I bought a set of these for 50 bux on fleabay over the weekend. Many people are selling them.
Ive a pair of AKG N90Q’s which are the cats pajamas as far as im concerned. These n60s are worth 50 bux and I recommend you run some music in them for a few hours to “break-in” the diaphragms . They will sound much better after. If you hear harsh highs, you should break them in...
Sorry but a “PRO DJ” who says headphones look “gay” is not an opinion I would value.

I was wondering about the case for the headphones... The case I got from the promotions was a simple rectangular bag made out of a nylon material with a cinch clip and an inside pocket. I was expecting a neoprene case from all of the info I found online. Even the documentation that came with it shows a different style case than what I received. I guess I am a little disappointed that I didn't get the neoprene case, as that would have been a little more protective and compact than the nylon one I received.
Did anybody else get the neoprene version of the case?

just the nylon bag, that's all she wrote...
still, it's a nice nylon bag

Pretty sure they never caused cancer. It's like buying anything in California. Go buy anything from a door mat to a picture frame and due to ridiculous regulations they list on it that the items contain materials found to cause cancer. There is literally no danger of it happening, it's all nonsense.

Lol. Well, we also .04% CO2 in our air now. among other things.

So you got a pair for $50? Used or new?
Sent from my SM-N960F using XDA-Developers Legacy app

These are definitely worth $50. They can help you go to sleep with no music and you can take calls. And if you're an introvert like me you can just wear them so people are less likely to bother you. ?

I'll sell mine for $65, seems to be the going average rate on eBay.

Pleasantly surprised by the quality of these headphones and will definitely be keeping them. Noise cancelation is top notch and sounds very good with good instrument separation, possibly better than my wired V-Moda headphones.

I bought another pair from a friend for $50. The wife was jelly of my pair

Just got mine this week, finally. I planned on selling them, but to be honest... They're pretty great and I will not be selling! Really comfortable, and for only my second pair of BT audio equipment... I'm really impressed! I have some BT earbuds for running and working out (IconX 2018) and these are WAY better (no surprise, given their larger size). Haven't had any signal issues, comfort issues, or qualms about the sound quality. I would agree that they're probably worth around $150-$200, but since I paid $0 and could really only sell for maybe $75, I'm more than happy to keep them! ?
