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.

I'm using the Motorola s10's and they work great has vol and play buttons as well as normal phone Bluetooth buttons.

Best ear buds for HTC Sensation?

Hello. Can I have some advice on some good ear buds for my phone? I can spend Max $40-60. Would be great if they had volume control and/or mic on them.
Thanks in advance!

Checkout Phillips SHQ1000. Cheap but quality product. Sound quality is amazing and best of all, perfect for jogging cuz it fits perfectly in my ears.

They are really good hearbuds. I mean. REALLY good and the bass, If you know how to set it (not with beats ^^) is absolutely massive
I think there is a reduction code to get them at 30-40€ don't remember what
the code is: * (edit: found it )
KLANGFUZZIS
they drop then to 30€
Ah yes actually they are not made for sport. because of the wood and the size

Bose Ie2 Earphones

For sound quality I would rather go for JVC.
I bought Philips SHE8500, which is on top why I don't know, and was a bit dissapointed. The level of BASS was low.
Then I bought one from JVC and it was perfect. JVC HA F150B - sound is just perfect.
I never used Phillips SHQ1000.

ive been very satisfied with Sennheiser cx 400 II
Ive never before liked in ears, but these are just great!
Clear, strong bass, very good overall sound and you can hear everything there is in music.
also blocks ambient noise very nicely

It also depends on how you want to use the earphones..jogging or just lying down listening to music. If you prefer using it while jogging, i suggest you get something sweat and water proof. And somethings that doesn't easily come off when you jog.

I just use them while walking or sit down somewhere.

This might sound unfamiliar to alot of you but here you go.
They make headsets for gaming so be sure that they are top quality!
http://www.astrogaming.com/headsets/ear-buds/a-star-in-ear-headset
This company makes the best headsets! I bought every product they made from the headsets to the ear buds, didn't think for a second to find something better. their build quality is so good that it will smell like a new product for a whole year! and the sound quality is top notch!! mic is too good too! if you get those you will never regret it!!

beats audio is quiet bad. you just pay for the label.
i bought some ultimate ears super.fi 5 pro from ebay after reading some reviews.
when released they cost about 180€ i got them for just under 50€.
if you want to spent more money and want some really good sound, look for the triple.fi 10 pro.

Just got me these pair http://www.buy.com/prod/monster-diddybeats-high-performance-in-ear-headphones/215198711.html They fall right in your price range. I know people dont like beats headset for various reasons. Unless you are an audiophiles, i dont think they make too much different. I read a few reviews and everyone seem to like it. Mine will arrive the 20th, i'll let you know how they sound. Hopefully the price will stay the same for the next few days for you.

Need recommendations for headphones!

I have some headphones but with a case, it won't fit because the jack thingy is too big. :/ So I want to get another one with high quality sound that fits in a Nexus 4 with a case. Thanks!

why not go bluetooth? been using LG Tone and Tone+, highly recommended.

Are the latest bluetooth earphones the same fidelity as the corded earphones? I user them a year back and wasn't convinced by the SQ.

They are good. I mean the SE MW600 are actually quite good for the price. The touch volume is a bit touchy but it sounds pretty good and you can use any in ear headphones you like, even the one that doesn't fit your phone. There are updates to the MW600 so you may want to look at those too.

V-Moda Crossfade LPs. They are on sale on amazon for $75 as their gold daily deal. Super headphones. Love them.

Also agree with this as well, but most people like simple earbuds as well. My go to ear buds are the Sol Republic AMPS HD for mowing and yardwork. Lounging around I use my V-Moda M100. My Crossfades are used by my 4yr old watching movies. If it's comfy for her, it'd be comfy for anyone lol.

Not even close. But since I listen to podcasts mostly, bluetooth is fine. The LG Tones are actually pretty cool, and work great with the phone as well.

Recommended Non-noise cancelling headphones?

Hi Guys,
Can anyone recommend some non-noise cancelling headphones? I really liked how the Apple Earpods sat in my ear, it was very very comfortable. However i cant stand using the s4 headphones for more then a hour, otherwise my ears start to hurt.
Of course i should mention i want to retain the mic and ability to make calls via the headphones.
Cheers!

Nothing guys? =(

Do you have a budget?

Not really, no. However i am just buying headphones to make calls and listen to music. Not analyzing beats, creating music or trying to capture the noises made by underwater creatures.
Hope that makes sense.

My go to recommendation are soundmagic PL30's.
They aren't audiophile quality, but they are amazing quality for the $20 they cost. Dual driver with adjustable base.

I use Etymotics with the included foam tips. I've used them for hours at a time without discomfort. They also do a great job of isolating & sound great. They are less bassy than some, & aren't cheap ($100 or so) but I have no complaints. They also have optional custom fitted silicone tips.

After trying a bunch of budget earphones i ended going all out on a set of Bose MIE2i ear buds
My biggest issue was comfort and all that i tried hurt my ears after a short amount of time. These earbuds i can wear for hours even at the gym and are extremely comfortable and come with a built in mic.
However if you have a pair you like already without a mic and need one try this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/390534336745?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649
I already recommended it to someone else for a different issue, but it had a mic built into it and you can use it as a Bluetooth headset, only issue is that it need to be close to your mouth to work, so you either have to hold it close to clip it on your collar
