hey guys just lost my note 4 samsung headphone that i was very happy with. what kind of headphones are you guys using and where are you guys getting them from. definitely not trying to break the bank
Klipsch S4A (II) because I read on What hifi that they have a good performance / price ratio. After almost 4 years of daily use and abuse still working perfectly.
I use Xiaomi Piston 2.0, cheap and they do the job.

As an IEM I'm using the Ultimate Ears UE900, On Ear Beyerdynamic dt1350 and at home Beyerdynamic T90.
Both UE900 and dt1350 I'm using with Viper4Android and headphone correction filters
Been running my Shure 215s for a few months now. Fantastic IEMs with detachable cords and a nice warranty. Can go wrong for $100.

There're two models. I have second version which is better. (less likely to break the cables)
For over-ear headphones I'd use my current (albeit pricey pair)- Sony MDR 1RNC
Alternatively for in-ear headphones, try Sennheiser Momentum IN Ear earphones- they're fantastic and you can get them with an in-line mic.
Just make sure you buy the ones specifically for Android as there is also a pair compatible with Apple in line controls.

First, do you mean Headphone or Earphone?
If you mean Earphone, do you need inline remote?
If you need the remote, Samsung's OEM Earphone is quite good.
Earphone
Budget : Mid-Hi
Sony Earphones is great, just browse online for your preferred price/quality ratio.
Philips Earphone. Also browse online for price/quality ratio
Sennheiser Earphones
Headphones
Budget : Hi
Sony MDR-10R (with inline remote)
Sony MDR-1R (with inline remote)
Sony MDR-1A (with inline remote)
Sony MDR-1RBT (Bluetooth with remote)
Sony MDR-1ABT (Bluetooth with remote)
Philips Fidelio Series
Sennheiser Momentum Series
Logitech Ultimate Ears Series
I'm using Sony MDR-1ABT for now & it costs around USD400.
I get it from an online shop in my country.
I choose Sony MDR-1ABT because :
It has great battery life, around 30 hours of nonstop music play
It has a great audio quality
It has cable option
It support High Fidelity / High Definition audio (24Bit 194KHz) through cable
It support near HiFi quality through Bluetooth
Great look
Comfortable Earpad for long time usage
Can be used for answering phone
It has NFC for quick connect
Battery can be replaced if it's broken (non user replaceable though, but I can do that )

I'm currently using a pair of Ausdom earphones. I used to hunt good quality earphones at cheap price from SlickDeals.
When on the road, I need something reasonable in every aspect, reasonable in price and performance. The earphones that meet those criteria for me are Sony MH-1 and Xiaomi Pistons 2.1. The Sonys are a little more bassy, but the older, cheaper models (the MH-1Cs I think) need a OMTP to CTIA adaptor (dirt cheap) to work correctly. The Xiaomi pistons are incredibly beautiful to me, have great feel and built quality and they are equally cheap.
When at home, I use the Nokia WH-930 by Monster, good enough for me.
Here is the king of low budget earphones : https://www.monoprice.com/Product?p_id=8320
They are $5 right now and according to several tests, you will hardly find anything better for less than $30.
I am using the stock ones and they're quite good.
I find the stock ones pure garbage. Using shure se215.
I have been using the new Vmoda wireless. Awesome bluetooth headset!!
http://v-moda.com/crossfade-wireless/
RE-400 by HiFi-man.
About $100 CAD and sound amazing.
Just brought Aukey Bluetooth 4.1 earbuds. Good sound quality and nice texture. Now £12.99 with code. You could find the code on the amazon product page.

I Use JBL J33 with my Enyos Note 4. Didn't like the way the original ones sound.
Im loving the music and have so much headphone at the same time but the best is the samsung level over ( i have beats solo 2 and studio but thease are worst so much aspect)
I notice that the Z3+ / Z4 did not come with any bundled headphones. What are the chances of the Z5 premium coming with headphones? If not can you use any Sony headphones to utilise the noise cancellation?

http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00HX9AJ5M works with all the current ones with built in noise cancellation, so would imagine they would work with the Z5 too. The listing on all the Z5 versions on clove.co.uk don't have any headphones listed as being included in box, so I would suspect there isn't going to be.
Does the Z5 actually state it has noise cancellation for the earphones, I've only seen it mentioned for the mic

No headset with Z5 Premium
Hi all. I just purchased a Z5 Premium and there was no headset or quick charger including..... Really really poor choice for Sony not to include headset and the quick charger. I'm going to contact Sony today abd complain about it. It can't be right that I almost paid 1200$ for the phone and then no headset. They could at least include a headset with a phone that expensive.
Got my z5 dual with headphones,quick charger and sony flip case. I am from India...may be offer is available for certain regions..
For the regular Z5 there was nothing else than the normal charger itself... however there is a dedicated space in the box for headphones nothing was there in Poland... Official Sony distribution
Ehh, it is wrong way of selling premium devices...
mine came with headphones, it came from Taiwan though
Mh750- headphones.
UCH10- quick charger.
Along with Sony flip case-SCR42

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.
Hello fellow 6p users.. I'm thinking of upgrading either my Xiaomi Piston 3 or my AKG 518 headphones to something at the range of around 100€ .
But given the not so great audio quality of the 6p ,i was wondering if it's actually worth it.
I would be very grateful If you could advise me with some solid choices, I'm thinking at the moment the Momentum Sennheiser, either IEM or Over air.. Something with 3 buttons (play/pause and volume control and inline mic) that actually work.
Over air will not be that good, all the air will distort the audio
on a serious note Im using Shure SE215 with mine. as you know audio on 6p isnt great, Viper Audio is a must if you are serious about audio. Im using a headphone amp as well
Shot in the dark but I have these and loe them. Everyone that listens to them has been impressed with the quality.

I'm not sure if this is on topic enough but I've noticed Bluetooth overall is very subpar and can be prone to interference (frequent cut outs when the phone's in my pocket or if I make a very short trip to the next room). This mainly applies to my headphones which have worked fine on several other devices. Of course this would be one of the only times I keep it in my pocket--when using headphones cutting grass, walking,etc.
I'm using viper. The volume and general sound quality are fine, not great be meets my standards. Only bring it up in case anyone happens to know how to improve it.
M50x for sure. Cant be beaten for the money
Wow,no sleep does bad things when typing,i clearly needed some air..
Back on subject, i would love to get M50x but i can't find a good deal either on Greece (my home country) or in Italy that I'm currently for vacation.. Cheapest i can find them is 150€ , which I'll might have ti spend in order to get a good over the air headset.. How is the build quality of the M50?
Thanks for the Bluetooth one,but i prefer wired headphones..
As for viper4android, i haven't rooted yet but i think i will soon in order to improve audio..

@tagari m50x are greatly built, just bought a pair not too long ago. great set of headphones.
I'm not sure if you can get these in Greece, but they are iem that have a built inline dac/amp. The caveat is that it doesn't use the 3.5mm audio jack. It uses the usb-c port, via an adaptor. I got them for my N5 and now use them with my N6p. Works well and you can boost the volume up to the point that it's uncomfortably loud...

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.

I used CX300, sound quality is good but not material quality. Your choice..
https://en-us.sennheiser.com/hd1-headphones-in-ear-with-mic
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
