Audiophile headsets?

I use my headsets about 80% of the time... that said the oem headsets are not as loud as I would like them to be. They are ok and just that.
So I'm wondering if anyone knows of any good audiophile headsets for around $50-$70 bucks? I saw Zagg has some but I didn't like that the volume on the headset used a sliding mechanism. I would have preffered a rocker or buttons.
I liked the zagg because it had the mic and everything. I wouldn't buy a headset without the mic for my phone.
I do use the phone as a media player (movies & music) so does anyone have any sites I could check out?

Headphone.com is my go-to source for headwear. There's a bunch of headset options in your price range.

look up Grado. they make great headphones... they have entry levels in your price range if you find them on sale.
here's a good site:
http://www.audioadvisor.com/products.asp?dept=45&sort_on=title&sort_by=&view_all=true
they're also on amazon for the same price.

Check the impedance (given in ohms)
The volume issue most likely has to do with impedance. Headsets with high impedance will have less volume than those with lower impedence. Higher impedance models will tend to last longer, though. Just something else to keep in mind.

shure has headphones made for phone usage with mic and such built in.

I've got Ety's, Shure, v-moda, Sony, Bose, etc and I keep coming back to these:
http://www.amazon.com/Sony-DREX300i...TF8&coliid=I2UPGX0VBD6T7G&colid=18N1HGC0EJEDW
I have the ones without the inline control, but I think I'm going to get these or go back to Bluetooth with the Motorola S-10 HD when those come out on the 28th.

Will these work for sure on the G2?? Looks like I'm going with these...
The grado's are too expensive with a mic. Its redick and the reviews I have read aren't that positive compared to the sonys.

I haven't had a chance to use those specifically, as I have the "normal" version of those to listen with (and they sound great with nice, tight bass). I went to test my v-modas with my G2, and they keep launching Subsonic rather than the stock music app, but I assume that it works just like it did on my Nexus One. The volume buttons will NOT work on the Sonys (or any others that are for the iPhone 3GS/4), but the call button should work with the music player and answer phone calls.

Kicker makes some of the best headphones. I have the EB91M. The fit very deep in my ear and have tons of bass. I got the M series so I would have a mic to use with my G2.

I have V-Moda Vibe Duos for awhile now. They've went through 3 designs the past 3 years I think. So far, the headset works pretty well but the headphones are more tuned for dance music meaning you'd have to boost midtones in the EQ to flatten the spectrum you hear. Otherwise, it has been pretty good so far.
A pair should set you back $40 - $70 depending on where you find them sold.

whenever this conversation comes up, I have to pimp the Head-Direct RE0.
$350+ sound for ~$70

I currently use:
Sony Ericsson MW-600 Stereo Bluetooth headsets -- they have a mic clip with OLED display that clips to your shirt and a stereo jack to use any headphones you want to it. They work great. Also has an FM Tuner built-in if you want to use that and can pair to two BT devices at once.
I also use Sony MDR-NC7 noise canceling headphones. They are fairly inexpensive for what they are -- $50-$70 USD (I paid 50 at Target). They have decent noise cancellation and are very comfy for long airplane rides. Sound quality is above average. Great for the price, but its not the best.
As far as earbuds, I use the ones that come with my SE BT headset and they sound pretty good. Again, not great, but good enough. The real limit factor is the phone itself. It's not the best audio player in my opinion.

Where can I find these?

NOTE: There is no microphone, which might make this pointless.
Also, if you want accurate sound reproduction, these are EXCELLENT. However, if you need ear-drum bursting bass, look elsewhere. I can honestly say these phones are some of the most accurate I've ever used, and I've bought some EXPENSIVE cans in my day.

JL buds, they require 24hr burn in, the have a wireless phone with a mic, and the sound quality is amazing.

Hedphones with mic, volume and track control?

Hi,
does anyone use headphones other than the provided ones, and with microfone, volume and track control?
Thank you.
Best regards.

any comment here... is LG compatible with some other brand like Sony, iPhone, Samsung or Nokia?

Yeah, I'd like to know that too. It would be nice to have these controls.

Well, i can report that the Sony Ericsson handset that i have doesnt work, the iPhone headset mic doesnt seem to work either but the buttons kind of do.

currently using Nokia Bluetooth Stereo Headset BH-503 on my optimus

I've been testing some nokia in-ear headphones i had , but they doesn't work properly, you can listen only one channel, if you press and hold the button you can listen in stereo.
I lost my favorite headphones, so i've been using the stock ones.
I'm surprised, they are not that bad.

I find that they dont fit in your ear properly, but that could be just me since I've been using in-ear for the past few years.

lg headphones dont fit in my ears too.. sound quality is acceptable but they are uncomfortable

I Got In-Ears!
Indian package has IEM's!
Are comfortable and have good noise isolation too. But just have one button. So track change is possible but not volume change.
Sound Quality is surprisingly good. Low frequencies are punchy. I use them regularly. They seem to be made for each other as high end IEM's are not good for O1. Show up the deficiencies in the output of the Device!
Any guesses to how long the battery will last for music playback?
I think it can go like 20-30 hrs with other radio functions minimized.

Well i dont care much abt backup but i have played arnd with sound quality a bit..My conclusion if u are looking for wide stereom a bit high-pitched sound use doubletwist ...And as for bass boosted, enjoyable music check out realplayer it rocks with the stock ones u mentioned !!!

I just hazarded a guess as to what the backup might be with the radios turned off. It may well be beyond 40 hrs with that monster of a battery.
As for sound quality i use PowerAMP. Allows me to tweak the sound a bit with the EQ.
And what i mean abt high end IEM was that they are useless on O1 as teh O1 itself does not output audiophile quality sound. So if someone needs absolute quality, they may do well to look at Cowon's range of PMP's but for a daily use mp3 player, O1 is good. I anyway dont like carrying my expensive IEM on overcrowded public transport. Too much snagging of wires has me concerned!

Why is LG partial to India! I mean its not like the earbuds are a big, expensive add-on. They could have just as easily added them to the world wide packages. From what i know the world packages dont contain the pouch too.
Then again, you guys get the phone for free or for $30US odd(or is it contract free in Romania?). While here its contract free and for $260US.
Anyway, its good for LG to setup the phone and package in a manner taht the end user can directly use teh phone. Screen protector applied, check. Pouch, check. 2Gb card, check. Decent earphones, check!
Thank you LG!

You can buy it contract free for about $240.
I got mine at about $12 for a two year contract at $21/month. It's cheaper than what i was paying before and i got a great phone almost for free so i'm not really complaning about the accesories.

i poured water on my headphones and the left earpiece stopped working .
i tried claiming with warranty but they said they need verify my phone(void delta xD).
i shelled out 10$ for another pice of crap

Thanks for the tip! The BH-503's are awesome!

After checking this headset out on the internet I got one too, thanks for the tip! It works perfectly, sound quality is awesome, it is extremely comfortable.
There are just two things which I need to figure out:
1. How to switch off the annoying blue LED indicator light while using it? It is so annoying when you are sitting on a bus, or on some other public transport and it lits up every couple of seconds. I hate it. I painted it black, put ducktape on it, but it is still visible.
Do you know if there is a way to turn this off somehow?
2. Can you use your P500 to do voice activated dialling with the headset? I tried pushing the multifunction button for a couple of seconds but than it turns off. If i press it once, it just beeps but nothing happens. If i press it twice after each other it dials the last number.
Can the P500 and android 2.2 in general do voice dialing?
Other than these two issues, I strongly recommend this headset for anyone, they are absolutely fantastic!
Peace

I'm also looking for a replacement for the bundled IEMs. Two things I dislike about them are - 1. The sound feels muddy/overwhelming bass compared to the Soundmagic PL11 I possess & 2. The mic has that teeny weeny flimsy button.
I considered the ME Electronics M2p M9p etc., the Soundmagic MP21 but they too seem to have that flimsy mic module as well. I'd prefer IEMs to headphones because of the portability offered by the former.
So can anyone suggest something along these lines? Maybe there is an adapter, or a Sony/Nokia mic module with a 3.5mm jack which will work? Thanks a lot.
PS - I'm from India & my budget is ~1500 INR

I bought Plantronics 216 In ear, but mic is not working and volume keys neither. Track control is working well and sound quality is good too, though.

[Q] Headphones with inline controls?

Well the 'phones that came with my Trophy have decent inline controls however they are not very comfortable and sound, well, awful.
So I'm wondering if anybody out there tried using iPhone compatible headphones with a WP7 headset?
I was looking at the SkullCandy Full Metal Jackets today but don't really want to splash out until I know if they'll work with my Trophy.
Thanks

I use sony MX710 with my Mozart rich bass and excellent sound, look on ebay for them a decent price of about £12.00

Ipod headphones work pretty well. You can use the + and - to adjust volume, or press in the middle to stop music or start music. It is not possible to skip songs.

...but iPod headphones are known to be absolutely awful sound-wise are they not?

Yes they do, but the response answers my question.
So, iPhone controls will work in a limited capacity.
Actually I just borrowed some off a work mate and the standard iPhone controls only do Play/Pause/Answer on my Trophy, no volume control.
Bummer..... Looks like I'll be waiting on someone to provide a fully functional version of MS to change the software to work with the most common accessory set available.

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)

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.

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.

[Headset] Wired headset with working Vol&Mic buttons - Compatibility List

- Volume Control + Mic 6P Headset Compatibility List -
​
I'm sure most Nexus phones users can say that it sucks buying a wired headset for our phone. Most likely volume controls or a different feature won't work and the thing is some wired headsets are fully functional but there is no real way to tell just by reading a product description.
So here lives the solution! A list of headsets that work with the Nexus 6P
Here if you wanna read Googles headset specifications and Frankenstein a headset yourself
Everyone report so we can get a nice big list, commenting with the following info can be helpful:
The name of the headset (very obvious ) link if you remember & price
If Volume + - buttons and a Microphone all work
Audio quality is 1 (bad, etc.) or 5 (Good, smooth bass, crisp vocals, etc.)
anything else? .... or just tell me your proud of me in spite of me losing the big game.

I live in America so I just take space that I don't actually need - Reserved

List Updated with about 5 more headsets! check it out.

1- Sennheiser MOMENTUM IN-EAR M2 IEG. You can search the WWW for pricing.
2- All buttons works (Volume +/-, pause/play, skip, etc.)
4- Never really asked the quality of the MIC but i give a 4 since nothing is perfect
5- Paired with V4A, I love those earphones !

4. Earlier had an LG G4 with which I had this earphone. So bought a new one for my nexus 6p and they fit perfectly in the ears.

hmmm..... maybe i'll add that section back.

The name of the headset: Xiaomi Piston III - Amazon - $23.99
If it has Volume + - buttons and a Microphone and if they all work: All buttons work.
How good Audio quality is 3 - Poor bass response, clips at higher volumes, sounds worse than the Samsung OEM earbuds I got with my Note 5.

I swapped the headphone cable on my over ear headphones to something like this to get all the buttons working on any android device.

Of course for this to work, your headphones needs to have a removable cable.

The name of the headset: Xiaomi Piston III - Amazon - $23.99
If it has Volume + - buttons and a Microphone and if they all work: All buttons work.
How good Audio quality is 3 - Poor bass response, clips at higher volumes, sounds worse than the Samsung OEM earbuds I got with my Note 5.

Are 100% certain the Piston 3 work? I've heard in a few places xda, reddit, that the volume controls can be spotty.

Once I get my 6p in a few days I can confirm for you. I have no issues with my Nexus 6 or 9.
