Hi all,
I'm still looking for a decent headset for my Nexus 4. I've gone through browsing/reviewing many products this week, and I was dead certain I was going to get these SkullCandy Headsets but then found out the Mic is incompatible with Android phones.
I'm dead certain these 3 below are compatible with my Android device, please help me decide which one, thank you!
Samsung EHS-61 (£10.00)

Apple EarBuds MB770G/B (£14.00)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_earbuds
Audio Technica ATH-C505iS (£14.50)
http://www.audiotechnicashop.com/index.php?route=product/product&path=91_87&product_id=330
Now, the Audio Technica one is a new discovery, I was browsing around today and I spotted this one on Amazon/Ebay but is cheapest on their main site which suits me fine.
I can get the Samsung's for £10, Apple EarBuds for £14 and Audio Technica for £14 also.
Please advise on which one you think is better and why. In my head, I think the Audio Technica would be best, why? I've heard people say the Apple EarBuds sound isn't all that, they break easily the cap on the earbud itself and where the wire goes into the actual earbud there is no protection, one bit of a pull and you could damage the earphone. Samsung seems the cheapest option out there, this is probably a freebie with most of the older Samsung's, I think this may be the S2 or S3 headset.
Audio Technica has a Sensitivity of 102dB, the Samsung has a Sensitivity of 105dB and the Apple EarBuds have a Sensitivity of 109dB.
Sorry, didn't expect to write so much, hopefully I can get some good feedback from you all
what about iphone 5's earbuds much better than the 4S ones but don't expect the controls to work though

I've heard that the Apple EarBuds don't really fit all ears and you can't use the standard foam/cotton caps on them to make it a bit more bigger for fit, also they are quite hard so can make your ears hurt if in for long. Read this from reviews.
Updated the whole thread, please advise, would love to order one of the 3 today after good feedback, cheers!
The audio tech... H are really good earbuds . Look at the reviews

I have a pair of OLD AT's and they are great for clarity, but literally NO bass. I cannot vouch for these though, sorry.
But I kinda like the a-jays one+
http://www.jays.se/a-jays-one-plus?___SID=U
You could definitely look into the senhiser range. I personally have a pair, mic less as I don't like in line microphones, and they are amazing.
The dB count on these can go up to a wopping 120, that's what mine do anyways. Definitely check them out!
Oh and I forgot to say, I brought mine for £10 but a good pair with mic can be around £20

Then the surprise comes not expect it to work the remote control that is integrated and works partially, you can call, answer and end calls, and put the pause and play the music
The only thing that does not work, which would be perfect, are the keys to raise and lower the volume, it hurts, but it will not work as thought nothing, because something good is, that almost complete functionality. even though I have to see if it works the handsfree, (micro) to hopefully work to see if you then test and confirm
Worth it because as you know these headphones are of very good quality, if you could make any application or modify the registry or something to activate the function of the volume and would be perfect.
if anyone knows anything, I would be very well the Swift.
greetings!
EDIT:
Confirm! the speakerphone(microphone) works perfect
sorry for my english guys.
Ups, sorry for double thread, as you can delete the other?
Hum...I don't know if I am the only one, but I really hate the iPhone's headset.
But it's a good thing to see it works with the Leo.

The iphone/ipod headphones are quite horrible compared to a pair of sennheiser in-ears (or most other 'real' headphone brands), why do so many people think they're so good?
I got a pair of sennheiser MM50ip headphones but they only have one button, the mic works well though.

Man!! do not compare, the iphone headphone, sounds good but not profesional quality
the sennheiser is the master of the sound, is other world, is the perfect sound.
is like comparing a street car with a ferrari jeje
greetings!
we know
there are lots of iphone compatible headphones around, that do work with the HD2 (and the HD) I have a few sets.
My favourite ones are some really cheap ones I bought for less than 15gbp, especially as they are cheap enough that I dont care if I damage them
(I've just found some mm50ip for 18gbp - 5% )!
But you lose the music control (<< and >>) by not using the included ones, so one option is to solder some earbuds onto the existing HD2 controls..
this really should be in the accessories forum.

I would be very carefull when buying good heaphones for such a cheap price, I originally cancelled my order with amazon twice after I found this great website http://fakeheadphones.com and made sure I was getting them from amazon directly!! As I didnt want to end up with a pair of duds
After showing that site to one of my mates, he worked out he'd been sold fakes from ebay a while ago... he wondered why they broke so quickly!
If it's too good to be true...walk away
Hello fellas!
just buy an adaptor with remote and plug your favorite inears toy!
check 4 it on ebay.
XD
Ipod earbuds are really bad. Not clear, bad lows, bad highs. Just look at headfi.org and watch for a good headset like nuforce ne-7m (only a a bit more expansive then Senheisser) or some RE0. Senheisser is really popular but just as bose, you pay for the name. But they aren't bad. Once you hear the difference between some apple earbuds and some high quality one's you never go back.

Do you have an example to show us that works bro? Thanks!!
I guess perhaps all headphones with remotes for the 3Gs would work then???
funny thing is iPhone is so annoyed of Google...they are considering to makeBING their default search engine...
Microsoft and Apple cooperation would be pure comedy. lol
The apple headphones aren't the best, i agree. But the remote function is bloody excellent and there are some quality headphones from top companies that support apple but not htc. If this could be developed it would be great but it's not likely. At this rate, ill be heading back to the iphone, the phones just too convenient.
i have the headphones that work fine. they are good in quality and reasionable at price.
how much cost this headphones?
i wonder how is this relevant to HD2 themes and apps?
this should be in the accessories section!!!
I bought these great stereo BT headphones and they are on sale again. Works great with my N1!!

About the audio quality. I'm no audiophile but I do know what crap sounds like and these are not crap. I really only use them for running so it really doesn't matter to me but I'm super happy or I wouldn't have passed on the deal.
I ordered a pair as well. They should be here tomorrow.

awesome, thanks for the heads up, i was disappointed i missed these before
I missed these the first time around and got them yesterday. Holy hell these are amazing. The sound quality is crisp and great. No problems on my end. And to my surprise, the right earphone has media controls and it also has a mic which catches voice perfectly. Best 25$ I ever spent. Ill never go back to corded headphones. Thanks for the tip mate.
Hitorii
Just so everyone knows, the deal is over. I tried to get some yesterday. Going to keep looking since this seems to be a recurring deal.
price now is $59.99
is this charger a mini or micro USB connection? i want to go all micro since that's where the industry is headed (except APPL lol)
Its micro......
rats, deal expired. now $59.99
ooo, these look quite good, are they heavy/bulky to wear?
after buying some ceap nuvelli bluetooth headphones only to find out not only did it not work at all (would not power on at all) but they also barely even fit on my head and were not comfortable i returned them and bought the Sony DR-BT100CX's not only because of their price but because i have always loved the silicone padded ear bud style headphones for listening to music, they are of course not good if you need to hear outside sounds because they really do act as ear plugs but this should be known already if your looking into this type of BT headset.

so anyways. i will give these a 4.5 out of 5 rating with possibility for a 5 out of 5
as a nexus one user running CM 6.1 RC1 they work 100% flawlessly with my phone. even the play/pause and track forward/back buttons are fully functional and sound quality is just as good as a decent set of the same style wired ear buds. one of my favorite things about this style of headphone is the small size and incredible bass response and these do not disappoint in this area either.
i'm giving them a 4.5 pending a 5.0 rating based on the short battery life i experienced. this was no doubt due to the fact i did not have enough time to fully charge them up today before i left but at out of the box + 1 hr roughly of charge time the lasted about 2-1/2 hours of constant music use before they died. sony claims 8 hours of use time, not sure if thats realistic they read half battery when i took em off the charger today but that could be inaccurate so who knows. ill post back with my results on further use later.
as for range of use. i was able to get as far as 12' from my nexus and still had perfect sound but at that distance putting my hand over the "pod" unit (the main module with controls) would cause a drop out but they reconnected extremely quickly. with normal use i do not see range being an issue with these they have good range overall.
Battery life's fine, I haven't charged mine for ages and it still goes strong.
I also used to have a cheap BT headset but it sucked so much, ended up grabbing a pair of these instead. The fact that it needs somewhere to clip to is a bit annoying, but hey, quality. Sometimes it sounds too bassy, though.
yeah they are strong on the bass at times but i like my music that way most of the time. great to hear on the battery life, they are fully charged now so i will be using them today to see how they do. the dongle doesn't bother me its actually kind of nice because it makes it easier to access the controls on the unit
How do these fare pricewise to the Sony Ericsson MW600 Bt headset? I have the SE one and I have to say one of the best headsets I have used to date, and it has a FM receiver to boot! Batterylife on the MW600 is pretty decent as well, but the only flaw is the contact slider for the volume compared to this one which is a physical button.
Both looks good, but this one looks like it can take a bit more of abuse lol.

You have a good taste in phones. I'm actually thinking about pick up a 240 on amazon, I'm not gonna lie, 100 bucks is pretty tempting. ALso had a sr80i before(left them in my hotel while I was on my trip in Singapore).....
Anyway, I'm more of a on-to-go person, I travel alot. So this is what I got
V-Moda Vibes
In ear, awesome bass, and really durable. I've had them for a few months and haven't had an issue. Never knew what they were capable of until I listened to "Lil Wayne - Nightmares of the Bottom" with the "beats mod" from the XE software. Bought them for about $75, but they're no longer available.
As far as Beats Headphone....eww!!!

Holy sheeet! Finally a thread that isn't about BEATZ. Newbs think that having beats make them an audiophile and that BASS IS EVERYTHINGGGZZZZ OMGZZZ.
Anyways here's my MS-1i, hoping to make a C-Moy amp soon and maybe get a headphone with a bigger soundstage, any to recommend ?
Im not a big spender on a pair of headphones but I have many pairs more than this I just don't use them anymore.
The skull candys were about $50. The amplifier requires a battery and it is heavy. The amplifier detached itself from my cloths and put a lot of stress on the audio jack so now only one earphone works. I put it up because I can still tweak it to get the other earphone to work and it has okay bass.
This is what I am currently using. Its nice because I can listen to music wirelessly (if that is a word) and the sound is alright with the right equalizer app.
If I am able to afford it, are there awesome headphones that are bluetooth or wireless in any way? And how much would they send my back?
Here's my headphone.
What would you guys recommend, in ear wise for around £70-80? Been looking at Shure se215 and a few of the klipsch S4 series
Cheers
I use these, only mine are in white - Creative EP-630.
It's really impressive what sound these babies can produce ..

If you want extremely good sound quality and if you don't have much of a budget, I suggest the Bose Soundlink II

If you want good sound and more of a budget I suggest the Jambox.

There are many other types and brands, but when it comes to really good quality you gotta spend atleast over $100..

Completely agree with this. I have heard good things about the Jabra Solemate and even the Logitech UE boombox aswell as the beats pill but that is pushing $200+.
I would wait on a sale since big box stores like to put these portable speakers on sale and you could score a deal.

I have the UE Boombox and it's great. You can connect via bluetooth up to 8 devices, has a good range, and battery lasts for about 8-10 hours.
