Can anyone please suggest a good headphone with extra bass and decent sound quality under 500dollars
Which is better senhieser or JBL or Bose?
Can I use the headphones while playing games and at the same time listening to music
You have to specify which type, over ear or IEMs. I'll just give a few IEMs that are good.
I'm currently using Shure SE215's which already IEMs . Though they're just entry level earphones in the Shure SE lineup, they are pretty darn good.
However, if you go higher up the SE lineup, they have the SE 315 and SE 535 which are better.
However, Shure isn't the best. There is Heir Audio, which from what I have heard is a beast.
I've listed a few IEMshere..
Westone 4
Heir 4Ai
UE900
JVC FX700
Sony EX1000
But if you want to find out more about best headphones, go to Head-Fi.com.

just picked up the LG HBS-730 from best buy and love them the sound quality is awesome, had them price matched at amazon for $53.50 what a deal!
supports APT-X for crisp sound and surprisingly good bass.
Klipsch Reference S4i ftw!
Need great ones with music controls...most of them don't control volume. Suggestions for earphones with volume controls?

Just keep in mind that not all earphones with low impedance will work on i9505, see this thread here.
A surprisingly good pair for 50 bucks or less would be the Brainwavz R1. Otherwise, if you've got cash burning a hole in your pocket, I highly recommend a pair of VSonic GR07 MK2. They'll run you about 180 bucks on Amazon and are worth every penny, but require a burn-in period to really make your purchase worth it.
The ones that come with the phone are actually pretty good. I got some comply foam tips for them and they fit great. The flat cable is really nice too.
Link to comply foam please?

Etymotic ER-4 $250
Westone UM3X $280, UM2 $225
Sennheiser HD 650 $500, HD 600 $400, HD 558 $160
AKG K702 $270
Starting from hearing aid products, long history producing musical equipment, actually do R&D for headphones, and those are recognized as reference headphones.
Do not buy
Beats, Skullcandy, Bose (overwhelming bass)
If you want a fancy looking one.. choose Sony MDR-1RBT.
I've owned several pairs under 175 and the best I've found are the $15 skull candy ones. Try those out before you spend more.

Overwhelming bass? The $15 skull candy that I have are very well balanced. Bose had so much bass you couldn't hear anything else.

Bose ie2 FTW. I use poweramp with them. Can skip tracks with the lil remote/mic. I wouldnt buy anything else.
I like the way the fit in my ear And when im out riding on my road/mtn bike the dont slip out when Im sweating.
For the guys who say they have overwelming bass, what are you using for a musicplayer? Any other headphones seem to be more on the 'treble' side for me.....
To each there own.
Honestly, aside from the VSonics and Brainwavz models that I already mentioned, I wouldn't consider Etymotic unless you need the hf2's remote. The ER-4 used to be great and I had a good ride with them, but stepped up to some Shure SE530s and the difference was night and day. STILL, I'd rather run the VSonic. Westone are nice if you can afford the audiologist appointment and custom molds, and I will personally NEVER run Bose, Monster, or Beats (btw, Monster=Beats and don't let anyone tell you otherwise...same build house and everything).
Need another clean, SQ-oriented set for around 60 bucks that you can legitimately work out with? Try the Sennheiser CX680. I ran the i variant with my 4S for a decent amount of time and they sound great with clean bass (not overemphasized), stay in place, are sweatproof, and don't start to hurt after 5 minutes of wear.
haha you need to check out NuForce NE-600X... They are Sound Isolating Earbuds. They are metal and for $25 on Amazon they sound better then any earbuds $100 or less.

Take any major magazine's reviews with a grain of salt, man. It comes down to the sound signatures you like best, after all. If you look at the popular choice for over-the-ear-budget cans (Grado SR60), they get universal acclaim. Put them on your ears, however, and most will hate the way they sound. Same with the B&O models you'll find at Apple stores. NuForce excels in DACs and headphone amps on the cheap, but I wouldn't put too much stock in their buds.

Well, AKG are the best according to any music freak, but be careful about the neck band ones, some of them are worse then cheaper headphones.
I'm using Sennheiser headphones I bought for 29€ (not professional, of course) and they sound really great. Go for Sennheiser if you're unsure.

Get the Xtra bass headphones from Sony(MDR-XB500/700), Best quality you can get for your money (especially with listening to rap)
They are superfine to wear and good build quality. Dont get the 300's (they suck) Get the 500 (under 50 Euro) or the 700 (around 80 Euro)
You should get headphones with inner bass for rap.
I've got Koss Porta Pro - best for this price I think
For hip hop / rap i recommend u buying beat by dre
Beat by dre is too expensive... I want to give 70-100$ for headphones.. How about numark redwave?

Using Voodoo on JVB, for out and about Sennheiser PX100's are an option, great sound out of them, for home listening I use Sennheiser HD485's, use them for watching blu-ray through my receiver too they sound brilliant for their price. If you want something ultra portable but don't like true in-ear buds pick up a pair of Sony Fontopia MDRED21LP's they're the perfect compromise between over- ear and in-ear, and thanks to supercurio they sound way better than they have any right to.
Anybody know where I could pick up a pair of AKG K412P's? I don't want to buy from a Chinese seller online, want the genuine article not clones.
+1 for the Sony's - I've used these for a few years and they are great!
I've even used these in the Gym and they don't fall out like some do.
Guys i want to headphones, not earphones I was thinking a lot about Sennheiser HD380 pro and AKG 518. but Sony XB700 are interesting too
I would buy the K 518. The sound is amazing for that prize.
But for mobile phones i prefer in earphones like the monster turbines.
Just wondering what are the best in earphones that stay in your ears. I had the galaxy s earphones that came with it and they always fall out my ears when i'm not even moving so then i got some JVC earphones and they stay in my ears but the quality is awful any help or ideas would be great would pay upto £30 (45 euros) thanks.
How about Goldring NS1000 headphones I use them with Voodoo sound & listen to rap as well & I can say with confidence they are well up to the job ....
If play.com ship to your country then they are EUR 68.99 free p&p ....
Thanks for the response but it's for my birthday so it can't cost that much however I have settled for the seinheisser (can't spell) earphones maybe the cx400's

No problem, you won't be disappointed
@OP
To get crisp, clean and detailed low ferquencies (or in other words BASS) for 70-100$ you will need to buy open back headphones. Closed ones in that price range are absolute crap, they always sound like the music is coming from a basement/warehouse/bathroom. So basically your choise comes down to:
1. Koss Porta Pro
2. Sennheiser PX100/PX100-||
The Porta Pro are fine headphones, but for bass heavy music you will probably find them a bit lacking plus they are not very comfortable.
The Sennheisers are brilliant at the price of 35-50 Euro. They absolutely destroy everything else in the compact class headphones when it comes to bass reproduction. They are also much better than many more expensive and quite a lot bigger headphones.
Note - Avoid in-ear ****e in that price range. Should you choose not to listen to me and go for in-ear, then at least make sure that you can actually stand their presence in your ear for more than 15-20 minutes.
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.

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.

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?
Hiya folks,
I am looking at a nice pair of beats head phones for my n4, prices are rather steep but I have found a site and I think perhaps the prices are to good to be true? Has anyone used or know if its legit?

I'm going to go ahead and say that these are fake. If you scroll all the way down to the page, it has icons of everything that it accepts, and its accreditation. However, if you hover over them, they are not clickable. This is one of the easiest ways to tell a site is a scam.
However, I do not live in the UK and maybe they do things differently. If anyone else can chime in, I'm sure OP will appreciate it.
I would not buy headphones from beats. They're more for fashion rather than good audio quality. I'd recommend a pair of sennheiser or audio technicas if you're serious about having good sound quality.

First of all, their domain is registered to an individual in China... so it is almost a given they are fake.
Second, beats is high priced mediocrity posing as studio quality headphones with "celebs" Dr Dre and Jimmy Iovine lending their names for a big cut of the pie. Ever been to a Planet Hollywood? How was the food? Just 'cause their in the business doesn't mean they know how to design high quality audio gear (most artists I worked with years ago were clueless when it came to audio gear). Consider AKG, Sennheiser, Shure, and others that have been designing studio gear for decades.
Just my 2¢, but I do have considerable experience in this dept, plus I stayed at a Holiday Inn last week.
Audio Technica should also be considered.

Shure SE215 for earbuds, they are excellent. They are better than my old Klipsch S4i IIs. I don't use headphones, so I have no input there.
If you're looking for headphones with great style, I would suggest Sol Republics. They are less than beats, I think they look better, the headband is nearly impossible to break, and I think they sound better than beats as well!
All of these are great links and all, but maybe the OP wants the Beats in particular? Maybe for style, showing off, whatever his reasons may be...

For over-the-ear you can't go wrong with audio-technica or grado. The at-m50 and the grado sr80i are at $100 or less and blow beats out of the water, that is if you are looking for sound and not fashion.
For a few extra bucks get yourself a DAC, a fiio e5 or e6 and your in for a real treat.

I don't get the SOL hate. They make solid headphones for pretty cheap. Their most expensive is the Master Tracks and they are $100 less than Studios and sound so much better.
Hell even skullcandies $15 in-ears sound decent and their more expensive Aviators, et all. sound pretty decent.
Beats overall don't sound awful to most people, but you certainly pay more than they're worth. If you like the heavy bass, might I suggest the Klipsch Image II. $150 for the wired version and they bump hard.

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.

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.

Hi.I bought my own pair of earphones from Google.. They sound OK but need enhancements. I just bought it for the looks

I'd go with nice ear buds.

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 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 have the lg quadbeat earphones. They are the same got them of Ebay for 20 bucks

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 am a huge Audiophile. I listen from Rap, Hip-Hop, R&B, Wavy smooth chill music and Really hard hitting bass music. And I just can't decide on what to get, I check these out they looked convincing
SONY MDR-XB90EX | In-Ear EXTRA BASS Headphones (Japanese Import) http://www.amazon.com/dp/B008G80FIU/ref=cm_sw_r_an_am_at_ws_us?ie=UTF8 I want some things were all the highs, mids, lows, and bass are perfect. And yes I know I won't get something like that but I want something were you think its at least all 9's for mids highs & lows and bass. And beats suck and Bose or any other monster product so don't give me none of that.

Gosh damn i spent 30$ on Apple Earpods and thats about it and it sets me off to a good start they sound really nice since they use Paper drivers and not plastic.
I suggest you ask those kind of question on reaper or gearslutz forums. Those are much more audio oriented.

Give these ones a try, don't be fooled by the low price, the built-quality is actually pretty good and the sound quality outperforms many, more expensive earbuds:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/AWEI-ES-900...22511054?pt=US_Headphones&hash=item20db8ea0ce
Stumbled on 'em in a review while I was looking for other earbuds. Unfortunately I can't remember the site that reviewed 'em.
The reviewer was impressed as they sounded like $100 earbuds.
Just for fun I gave 'em a try. Never stopped using them. In any case it outperforms my old Sony and Creative earbuds.
Klipsch S4i in East headphones are the best on the market in my opinion. You can probably find them online for a cheaper price. For the price that they come, they have the best sound quality. If you're looking for a lot of bass though you might be underwhelmed, although the S4i produces accurate sound.

i believe that depends on WHAT you want to hear, if you want to add bass to your music maybe some beats or something like that, but if you want some clarity , maybe some Bose earbuds, they are pretty neat as in ear monitors (i'm a musician) and usually they have a flat response which is the best for hearing EXACTLY what you are supossed to hear.
I have a pair of Sennheiser ear buds with a noise canceling function. Comes in real handy for long loud bus and train rides in rush hour.. They were like 59 bucks last year.. Really nice quality and they go loud. Picked em up at Bestbuy.
I keep hearing great things about the Beats earbuds though. They may be my next purchase. Although they are pricey!
Audio Technica !!!:good:
I like my mid range Skull Candy. But the ones which came with my Samsung phone are decent too.
I realize there a lot better, but for the price, I think they are pretty good options.

Head on over to the forum at head-fi.org
I use Creative EP-630, they sound good & price is reasonably good.
Go to a store in your area and buy skullcandy earbuds or any that are $5-10
@dude52
If you are an audiophile.. You should personally visit the shop and check your favourite songs on the headphones you like for yourself..
Btw.. I use audio technica ath-sj11 for every thing..m not an audiophile though
fyi Audio Technica is a serious Japanese brand which provide audio solutions like mics ,etc at the "Grammy Awards! "
So no need to worry about the quality!

i'm using Sennheiser MM 70s and so far they are the best i've ever brought.
In your budget you can also give a look at MP4Nation.net, they have a good choice of IEM.
Senheiser in ear
I use the "Redemption Song Midnight" In-Ears by House of Marley.
Very good sound, with lots of bass and balanced mids an highs
This has been something I have wanted to ask for a while. Thanks
