Headphones - Galaxy S

Hi. I'm going to bought headphones.
I'm thinking about
AKG K518, K450, K540
ATH-D40fs, ATH-M40fs
I have voodoo sound and i need good headphones.
(music - rap)
Any ideas, suggestions?
Other (better) headphones?

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?

Just got a pair of Klipsch S4s and they are pretty good! I also own a pair of Sony XB700s, but I'd never wear them outside..

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

If you love bass be sure to audition the Audio-Technika ATH-M50's. Should find a pair for around $100.

These are the best in-ear phones I've ever used.
http://www.headphoneworld.com/p/Sony_Fontopia_MDR-ED21LP_Earphones.htm
They don't fall out unlike regular buds, and with voodoo app they sound incredible, I've shown them to friends and they've been skeptical......until they actually listen to them, and you can't go wrong at that price, I used to pay twice that for them.

Thanks DMD9 they look like that deserve a test the drivers on them are huge as well

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.

Help - Earphones , Headphones

I'm currently use both:
Meelectronics M-Duo (dual driver, one button +mic)
Xiaomy piston (single driver, 3 buttons + mic)
And they both works like a charm also all the buttons works (vol up/down or skip track).
Before i've used also a pair of bluetooth headphones: the Jabra Revo Wireless (no problem at all and same HIGH audio fidelity)

will they work well on stock rom or i have to flash a custom rom ? and what about sony newly released Sony sth 30 earphones ?

Hello,
I've also got a pair of Xiaomi Pistons V 2.0 and they're great. They're the best inearphones I've ever had and they're a lot better than my other inearphones such as Beats by Dre Urbeats and A-Jays One Plus.
Xiaomi Pistons works out of the box without the need of flashing a kernel, and does support volume control and such.
Make sure that you order from a trusted store such as PenonAudio or Ibuygou, there are a lot of counterfeits around. All of the ones sold on ebay are counterfeits.

You've gotta order them from Ibuygou.com or PenonAudio, they're only sold in China or online at some retailers. Ibuygou ships to India I think, but I'm not sure.

Thanks :good:

Just to make your decision a bit harder - have you ever looked at the hippoVB's? They were my first IEMs and I never really like any others after them. What i really love is that you can change some screws in the back to adjust the amount of bass. If you get some comply foam tips with them you can hear almost nothing from the outside world

Too many options ,
now Just recommend one of these
1-Sony sth30
2-Soundmagic e10
3-soundmagic e30
4- recommend your own which is available in india
it should be loud with bass as z1c lacks loudness

I am sorry for intruding here, but after it is often pointed out how good headphone X keeps ambient noise out, I want to ask if there are any suggestions for android-compatible quality in-ears (more buttons are better than less) that do not mute ambient sounds too much(?)
That is, I want to - of course - hear what comes from the speakers but still be able to have a little acoustic feedback from my surroundings (when I'm cycling in heavy traffic, to give just one example). I sometimes use the stock in-ears that came with the phone and don't like how I can't hear much besides what comes out of the tiny speakers (and occasionally my blood rushing and whatever funny bodily sound effects there may be).

Ordered SoundMagic E10's - Will Post a Review soon after they Come.

I got SoundMagic ES18, after i heard the awesome sound for 12 USD price ... ordered 2 extra to have backup for the backup
make sure u "burn" them a bit before listening. just play white noise sound on full vol overnight.
if you are rooted, also install the volume boost so you get more volume.

I was thinking of burning them with pink noise, could you please give me links for good burn in tracks and little more information on that

Soundmagic e10 , I was very disappointed. after all those reviews and awards they are nothing special, good but not great. my stock samsung inears sound louder and equal quality to them

using the same earplugs silicons to make sure its exact same seal in the ear.
really not impressed for the double the price of es18

Have you burned in your Pistons?

actually not, i gave them to my brother who used them for some days.
now i got em back and sound so much better than before.
still ES18 are quite close compared for the price tag.
to be sure, i will burn them today overnight with pink noise

Plz Somebody tell me a good inear earphones and headphones for my z1 compact, totally disappointed by the level of sound produced by them, way too low, Don't know why.
Currently i'm using
Sound magic ES18 (loudness ok which vanishes as bass part comes)
Razer electra ( Clear but lacks loudness )
Sony v55 ( whispering)
I'm currently planning to buy piston v2, will be there any significant change over es18.
If not is it possible to connect external sound card through otg to this ****ty phone, if yes plz tell me the name of sound dac.

Headphones

I don't think the phone comes with them. What headphones everyone will be using? Also, if anyone has the phone, could you let us know if the volume and call controls work on the headphones you have. Thanks!

When traveling I'll be using Audio-Technica ATH-M50x. In the office I use iPhone ear buds. They volume buttons don't work but the play/pause button does.

Sennheiser IE8i and Beyerdynamic t51i. Both have controls made for the iPhone so I'm only expecting the center button & mic to work like the rest of the Android phones I've plugged them into. If anyone has any recommendations for great headphones with full Android controls, I'm all eyes.

I'll be using RHA t20i and the Blue MOFI headphones. Don't have the phone yet. Going to try to OTG with my OPPO HA2, but will need an adaptor first. The RHAs expose bad recordings, so it will be interesting to see how the 6p performs without the DAC. The MoFi's just sound good with everything.

I have the monster isport victory headphones, and the play/pause buttons work and so does answering calls. The seek tracks buttons dont work though. These headphones have been great so far for an active person. There water resistant and have even survived the wash and dryer twice!

I have a pair of black and white zipbuds slide I bought about a month ago to go with my frosty 6p. So far I love them because they have a zipper to prevent the buds from getting tangled. The sound is WAY better than any other earbuds I've owned and it actually has bass! I'm not an audiophile by any means but I really love them and can't wait to get my 6p to match.
Also, I recommend getting them from amazon because they were $20 cheaper at the time.

I'm using a Klipsch S4i paired with a MPOW BT adapter for normal use. When I'm at home or need something more I use my Audio-Technica M50. If you need somehting cheap then Monoprice has a pretty decent selection also.

I think i had those Klipsch ear buds - a very good set of headphones. Don't they have a 3 button mic you could customize in android via an application?
Also, the Sennheiser Momentums are a great sounding pair. Thought of throw that out there.

I believe that's the s4a. Mine is made for iOS but it was way cheaper ($40) and it's the reference edition. I have a Pebble to help me with controls otherwise. I haven't used the buttons in a while, so I'll try them again and let u know.

mosincredible Android OEMs implement the volume controls differently and not consistently. The IE8i you have have replaceable cables. I am not familiar with those headphones and am not sure what connectors they use. If they use common connectors (e.g. MMCX or two pin) then you can get an aftermarket cable on Ebay. There are many cable options that work with Samsung devices and they sometimes work with other brands. For instance my cables have full controls with my G4 but only had the standard play pause on my Motorola and HTC. When my phone gets here and if my cables work and your IEMs have common connectors I can direct you to aftermarket options.
As for headphone recommendations based on what you currently own if you are looking for IEMs I would carefully consider getting customs (CIEMs). There are tons of good CIEM suppliers and constant new entries to the market so pricing is very competitive. Of consideration though CIEMs generally have terrible resale value. Also, depending on how you use them (e.g. for working out or hard physical activity) and how sensitive/flexible your aural canals are fitment can be far more challenging than the glowing online reviews of how comfortable they are would lead you to believe. However, once you get a great fitting CIEM it's hard to go back to a universal.
My path to great CIEMs for my purposes was not as smooth as it appears to be for most people on for instance Head-Fi. I have a few pairs of very expensive acrylics that get very little use. I ultimately had to get silicone CIEMs to get something comfortable for my activities and admittedly excessively long listening sessions. In summary consider CIEMs but do so carefully as at least for me it was expensive and much harder to get to what I thought I was certain to get on the first try.

I use their recommendations too. Recently bought the same wireless earbuds. Fit was good and bluetooth kept cutting in and out even on my replacement unit. Ended up returning it. Looks like they are investigation the issue with JLABS as well.

HifiMan Re-400 for the earplug

I love seeing so many ppl with the AT M50X cans.

Sennheiser HD-25 with Fiio E07K Andes DAC/Amp Combo

Klipsch Image X10 and Jaybird Blue Bud X. I might need to end up getting a DAC for this phone for the Image X10 since the voltage is so low. They were so good with my HTC M8 though.

I currently have a pair of pink cheap ones from quick trip. All they had in a pinch. Lol

Which headphones are using with your 6P? How much did you pay for them?

Since the Nexus 6P comes without headphones, I was wondering which headphones everyone is using, and how much did it cost them? Would you recommend them to others? If you have tried more than once pair of headphones (wired or wireless) which one would you recommend?

I'm using the XBA-A3's at work and on the go: http://amzn.com/B00FJISZ28 They use a hybrid driver - pairing both a dynamic driver with two balanced armature drivers to create a fantastic sound.
I wear them about 6 hours per work day. They are by far the best sounding headphones I own. That's saying something, as I also own Sennheiser HD 650's, AudioTechnica ath-m50x, Shure SRH-840, Blue MoFi's, and Vmoda Crossfades which I use with my laptop and various portable/desktop headphone amps/dacs.
In searching for the best earbuds, I purchased and returned the RHA t20i, Shure 425s, Sennheiser Momentums, B&W C5s, and Audio-Technica ATH-CKR10... none of which were bad by any stretch of the imagination. The Audio Technica CKR10s are the closest to the XBA-A3, in my opinion. The XBA-A3's have an edge in mid and high end clarity in my comparisons. Balanced armatures for the win. I also prefer the over-ear wire guide and detachable cables. Also, most of those listed above don't have an in-line mic, which the Sony's do have. So, the A3's won, and I'm loving them daily.

Sennheiser HD800's with a chord Hugo amplifier.
~$2200 and sounds wonderful. Would recommend it any day.

I've always used my Audio Technica ATH-ESW9 for whenever I'm away from my T1 at home. They're around $200 new and I got mine for $120 like new off of Amazon a couple years ago. One thing I've always like is the sound signature of the ESW9 deviates from the rest of the Audio Technica offerings, and it's an absolute joy for listening to acoustic instruments. Brownie points for using real wood too. Along with the durable lambskin leather, part of the reason why I prefer them for portable use, the ESW9 provide decent isolation without muting your surroundings when they're properly seated on your ears. Call me paranoid, but too much isolation is why I don't use earbuds; I see it as a hazard.

LG HBS-810, paid about $85, plus $15 for some comply foam tips. Can't complain.

Sony XB-90EX (About 120$ import) with Gain ramped to 5 and the new powerAMP, I think I'm sold until the hybrid tips wear off.

I'm a basshead and this is my first "In-ear" monitors. I've also been and will be sony's XB fanboy and these pair just blew my mind.

JVC FX850s, though the phone's output & internal DAC makes them sound like crap (coming from Note 4). V4A doesn't make it much better. Placed an order for a cheap portable DAC, FiiO K1.

Great to hear, fan of the bass myself... thanks for the post..
They're currently somewhere between Japan and Manchester

I'm using Sony MDR-EX650 Earphones with Brass Housing, Smartphone Mic and Control. By far the best in ear headphones I've ever bought, and I'm really hard to please when it comes to sound quality. The sounds take is incredibly open for in ear headphones. I can hardly feel them in my ears, the bass Is punchy without making the sound muddy. Fantastic, really glad I bought the 6p, and these headphones. Got them for £60 but can get them for around £40 online

Bose QC 20's ("Samsung Model" which is their Android version) All of the buttons work (vol+,-, play/pause) and it has ANC with an 'active button'. The active mode gives you mild noise canceling with enhanced speaking level tones for running/working out. I paid $300 for them this past summer and I don't regret it at all. I own 5 pairs of Bose headphones total (QC 20's, Freestyle, SiE 2's, OE 2's and the True Sound over ear ones)

Been using the latest xiaomi in ear pro these past two weeks, it is a hybrid : 1ba and 1 dynamic. Bass seem overpowered (i'm not a basshead), mid a bit high and buttons (mic n vol) works with my music player (black player ex), build quality is great for the price. I would recommend this Xiaomi (i got it for around $28 ) for 'on the go' earphones. For 'serious listening' i use my red Shure 535LE with black oyaide cable.

I'm rocking a V-Moda Crossfade LP2 - picked them up as open box off eBay for $99 and added the XL foam ear pads from V-Moda, also an eBay purchase. They sound ridiculously good, and the ear pads make these comfy af. The inline remote does NOT work though, but it worked on a Lumia - go figure, as Apple and MS have a patent deal. >.> Get with it Google! I miss pausing my music or summoning Cortana with the Play/Pause button on the cable.

I've got a few hooked up for different purposes, Grado SR325i are my hands down favorite for sound but unless I'm sitting still in a quiet room they're not so wonderful.
Realistically though, my MPOW Cheetah Blueetooth get the most play time. $16 on sale. They don't sound anywhere as nice as my RE0's (which I bought so long ago I don't remember the price, definitely more than $16 though), but the whole wireless headphone thing is just so darn practical and the battery life is good enough that I would definitely recommend them.

I've been using Audio-Technica M50x's ($133) around the house and Klipsch S4's ($99) or Jbuds ($35) while out and about. Very happy with all of them.

I use some jbl wireless in ears, bose qc 20s, and sennheiser momentum in ears.

Beats PowerBeats2 Bluetooth for cardio. Paid $100 on Black Friday. I think at $100, its pretty good. Battery life is amazing. Sound is decent. But I wouldn't pay full price for them.
Shure SE215 for everything else. Paid $100 for them.
Bose QC15 for flights which I haven't traveled much lately so its not used ah much. Forgot how much I paid. Maybe $300ish.
I also have Bose IE2, Audio Technician M50 but those are rarely used.

For wireless listening, I use a pair of Jaybird Bluebuds X. They work ver well and sound pretty good.
For wired listening, I have a pair of Klipsch S4is that I use when the BlueBuds are out of battery, and mostly for calls. My favorite pair are the Vmoda Crossfade LP2. The Vmoda give me the best sound out of all my headphones, but I don't like wearing them for extended periods of time. The Vmoda inline controller button does not work on the 6P by the way, and the same applies to many stock headphones for some reason.
I backed The Dash on Kickstarter two years ago and it looks like I should finally be getting mine in the next month or two. I'm very excited to get them to replace the BlueBuds, but Bluetooth sound quality will never match wired units.

Unless you are an audiophile, I will recommend the Mpow Wolverine: http://amzn.com/B017I50T0K. They are cheap and the sound is excellent in my opinion. Additionally, they work perfectly with "Ok Google" commands, I mean detecting the "OK Google", which I have found to be inconsistent with other wireless or wired headphones. The microphone is on the volume control bar, so it is closer to your face and phone calls are really clear.
I also own the Mpow Swift: http://amzn.com/B00PW3B194, which I bought first. These are not as good, the sound is not the best in my opinion. I use them at work to listen to music and news podcast, so I don't need real good sound, as I keep the volume very low. The microphone in this one is on the right-ear headphone, so people have trouble hearing me if it is windy.
PS: No, I don't work for Mpow, I bought them because I found them on sale, so I paid $9.99 for each one.

Looking for earphones

Hi to all,
I bought my beautiful Sony Z5 in november 2016. In my market the earphones are not included, so I'm using the earphone of my old Xperia S, and sometimes the Sony NWZ-WH303 together with a noontec cable with in-line microphone. The latter is a good solution but not so comfortable, in summer especially. Now I'm looking for something in-ear but performing better than old xperia S earphone. Which kind of earphone (with microphone) are you using? Which one do you recommend?
Thanks

My Xperia never came with any earphones so I've been using the LG QuadBeat 3 earphones from an relatives phone.
These are pretty good but I can't compare them to those earphones you mentioned as I haven't got them.
I'm not a audiophile but I'd reckon any cheap branded ones will do but be careful of knock offs on eBay; as they will sound terrible.
I have used in ear noise cancelling ones (old white thick flat cables ones that HTC used to produce back in 2011) and they hurt my ears and the sound quality was pathetic it sounded like you were underwater... The newer models I believe don't have the in ear channel model that have this.

If you have enough money then you have to try BOSE Sport In-Ear headphones without microphone., sound quality is really good. Xiaomi Pro HD headphones is also good for a cheaper price, little heavy.

If you have enough money then you have to try BOSE Sport In-Ear headphones without microphone., sound quality is really good. Xiaomi Pro HD headphones is also good for a cheaper price, little heavy.

I red a lot of positive review on the Xiaomi. They have a very good quality/price ratio. I'm also looking at the Sony EX450AP and the Sennheiser CX3.00. Do you have some experience with these?

I used CX300, sound quality is good but not material quality. Your choice..

These are outstanding for the money. I used to use the CX300 (which are a very good value for $30 or whatever), upgraded significantly to IE80s, then lost the IE80s and went back to the HD1s. Love them.
Though I did just get some JLabs JBuds 2 for $2 this week, which - surprisingly - aren't terrible. But, noticeable different between those and the HD1s, even without an amplifier.

i normally use sennheisers which i use pretty much everyday until they recently died.
but just bought these ones: https://www.banggood.com/BlitzWolf-...e-With-Microphone-p-1110873.html?rmmds=search and for its price im pretty impressed.

I just bought the Xiami hybrid pro on gearbest at a very low price... Now I'm waiting for their arrival.
I'll update you with my first impressions!
Thank to all of you

I'm using xiaomi hybrid pro since 2 weeks and I have to admit that they are really good. I really wasn't totally sure that with just 19 euros was possible buy a so good product. The volume of music is very good, they are well balanced for any kind of music. I listen a lot of kinds but above all rock, rap and classical. The basses are not too emphasized like a lot of competitors products. I noticed that when used with Z5 the volume is a bit low, especially in loudy places, bus the soundproofing is well made so is not a big issue. They are very stable and comfortable also during long walks. Also the quality during calls is pretty good. In my opinion they are the only possible choice in this price range!

I really like "scullcandy" earphones,the bass they produce is amazing,been scullcandy customer for over 3 years now
