Bluetooth headphones

Do they make Bluetooth headphones that work with the Epic? I mean Stereo headphones for both ears. I don't want the headphones that go inside of your ear either. I like the earmuff style. Anyone?

They do, but I haven't found any Bluetooth headphones that sound as good as wired headphones.

Great sound quality isn't a high priority. I just need it to be decent. It's for working out. Who makes them?

These are the ones that I got. The sound quality is above average and they stay on the ears really well. I use them when I run trails, so they endure a lot of bouncing.
Bluetooth Headphones

I have these Motorola HT820 that work well. Bought them last year maybe, got them from eBay.

i owned the sony bt101 and i currently have the altec lansing / plantronics backbeats
the sony did not have noise cancelling but they were a better fit & feel than the AL/plantronics
the audio quality was about the same between them...even in calls...
i paid like $30 for the altecs on ebay...and the sony's were over $60
i would probably do the sony's again if given the choice...even with the price difference
if you really want to step up though....go all out and buy the nokia active noise cancelling bh-905
they have redunkulous uptime and features
also saw a reasonably priced set of stereo bluetooth from car&driver with really high uptime
they were more of the 'earmuff' style but i'd like to try them

i have jaybirds... they work pretty well actually....

Headphones

Whats everyone using with their Charge?? I'm looking for in the ear headphones with a mic. The plantronics ones I have now don't work well with the phone, mic does not work

As far as normal headphones, I use Sennheiser headphones. Sound quality is great. I haven't been looking for a pair with a dedicated mic tho. Sounds like it would be a good investment.

Thanks!! Do you use any of these? The Etymotic M3's look nice but I'm worried they won't work well with the Charge.

I use the headphones that came with my Galaxy Tab (they have a mic too). They are the BEST pair that came with any device I have ever owned. Other than that, I use a pair of Bose around-ear headphones (can't remember the model)

I am using the following headset on both my phone and my wife's phone...she never uses bluetooth (I use a Moto S9 and a Jawbone ERA) so she is very particular about her headsets. I purchased then on a Newegg deal for $9.99 apiece, but they are currently out of stock and discontinued at Newegg. For $10 they don't sound bad for music or streaming IMO.

+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've got my Radius Atomic Bass headphones and their petty awesome sounding.

You can get Etymotic HF-3s from Amazon for $100. They work great with my Charge, but the button doesn't always work the first try when I use it to pause/resume/reverse/forward my podcasts. The sound is great, people tell me they can hear my clearly, and they are Etys! Enjoy the isolation and ability to get by on lower volume while hearing clear details through them.

I use Skullcandy headphones(both in ear and over ear) . I forgot the models, though.

I use a pair of Beats on ears. Hate away, audiophiles but they're the most comfy headphones I've ever had on my awkward head. And with a treble boost from an eq, they're not muddy or overpowered with bass. Plus the mic and music control works.

best headphones for skyrocket?

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...
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium

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.

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.

Headphones or in ear phones

Whats better? I cant decide which to buy. I am thinking about koss the plug, sennheiser cx200 ir sennheiser hd201

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.
- hit my thanks button if i helped you -

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:

What headphones/headsets are you using with the Note 5?

I've got 5 pairs. The white ones and the black ones came from Samsung. The blue ones and the dj headphones are 3rd party. Can't figure out which has the best sound.

What kind are the ones with the green ear buds? Those are tight.
I'm using similar dj headphones myself.

I'm using the LG TONE PRO or whatever. The ones that are retractable.

Of the Samsung ones the best have ends that look like this:

I have a pair of the stock ones for all around listening, but with COMPLY foam tips for comfort, better sound and fit. Since I have several pairs of these from previous samsung phones, I won't get sad if they get destroyed.
I have a pair of Bose OE's and for on the go sound, I have a pair of Jaybird bluebud x's (bluetooth)

You might laugh p) but I use these cheapies and they work good and sound decent. I buy like 4 pairs at a time for home and car storage
