What earplugs are you using with O1

What earplugs/headset/earphone are u using with this handset and how does it perform..Is the audio quality good?? What is the price that you bought it for?? Is it comfortable and easy to carryout around?? Wud u recommend it ???

Sony EX35LP ...
bought it when I was in Japan so dont remember the price ( maybe 1200 INR ??)
performance is decent ( I have used em previously with my Nokia 5800xm ... obviously they sounded better on the Nokia) ...

A super cheap but decent Creative headset xD Lacks bass.

I am using Creative EP630 its kinda very famous here and also the market lacks variety..I wud say the audio is an "big improvement" over the stock headset..However EP630 does not respond well to high frequencies producing some shrill and hiss noises..ITs Worth 700INR~USD$16 here

Dr.Dre Beats are the way to go

Philips SHP2700 are quite good. Not so mobile, but cheap and the sound quality is way better than my previous Koss Porta Pro (25th anniversary is such a crap).

default earplug with poweramp on classic preset = ownage

use the original earplug. but it was painful in my ear.

i m thinking to buying Philips She9500 next month...India is a very poor market for quality earpieces from klipsch or seinheiser..they are friggin costly..Philips/Creative or maybe SOny on Seinheiser

hiss problem exists with any other headset, except original

sennheiser HD202!!
AUSOME QUALITY....DA BEST WAY TO MAKE USE OF UR PHONE WEN ON DA MOVE FOR MUZIC!!
aaauuusssoooommee!!!

Between 20~30 USD depending on where you live

I am using the nuforce ne-6 headphones (same as ne-7 but no mic). Cost about $45CDN.

I use Soundmagic Pl-11. They are excellent for the price of $10-15.

sennheiser HD202 - cheap and really good sound quality

External DAC

Hey guys.
Been using my Nexus 4 for the past day and almost everything about it is great.
My only complaint so far? Volume out through the headphone jack is rather weak compared to my old S3 with modified sound files.
I'm thinking about using an external DAC to circumnavigate this issue. Anyone have any experience with DACs working with Android?
Thanks

If volume is your issue, why not just an amp? It would be easier (theoretically) to find a great, compact headphone amp than a DAC+amp in the same housing.
However, RSA(a highly reputable brand in audiophile circles) has a portable DAC+amp here: http://www.raysamuelsaudio.com/products/intruder . I don't know for sure if it works with Android, but:
A. I don't see why not with USB Host
B. Couldn't hurt to ask.

I'm interested in getting something that I could use on more than just my phone so I figured I might as well get a DAC.

It did not work on 4.1 from what I heard and I have not heard about Google fixing it for 4.2 either. Jelly Bean does support USB audio but the support is very limited.

You should write and ask the guys at HRT (High Resolution Technologies) about their USB DAC. They had one that worked for the iphone connection so chances are that it should work. I'm getting one if it does, so please post your answer.

The best IMO.

You might check hydrogen audio forum and head-fi. I did a quick search.

Well guys, it seems a USB DAC will be impossible for the time being. There appears to be no USB OTG support while rocking the stock setup. The best I can do is use a headphone amp so far. The only downside I foresee is that I hear double amp'ing isn't too great of an idea.

If I remember correctly, the Nexus 7 supports DAC's when rooted and with some work-arounds. So I don't think it's impossible for it to work with the N4.

An amp works if all you want is volume and a little cleaner sound.

Picture taken with Nexus 4 ...

I just tried using a slimport adapter connected to an audio receiver through HDMI. Through the audio jack I normally get lots of fuzz but it seems that using slimport the internal amp and DAC are bypassed. Thus the audio quality is much better and I cannot hear any fuzz. Can everyone else with an adapter try it out and share your results?
Since the use of normal USB DACs with the N4 is not very practical, Im thinking this would be a great way to connect a DAC.
We just need someone to produce a DAC for slimport devices. (It doesn't even require rooting!)

I've been pretty happy using a relatively cheap Fiio E5 headphone amp, but I've been considering upgrading to an E17 DAC. Would be great to know if/how well DAC's work on the N4 (or any other Android phone, for that matter)

Updated: Headset for my new Nexus 4

Hi all,
I'm still looking for a decent headset for my Nexus 4. I've gone through browsing/reviewing many products this week, and I was dead certain I was going to get these SkullCandy Headsets but then found out the Mic is incompatible with Android phones.
I'm dead certain these 3 below are compatible with my Android device, please help me decide which one, thank you!

Apple EarBuds MB770G/B (£14.00)

Audio Technica ATH-C505iS (£14.50)
http://www.audiotechnicashop.com/index.php?route=product/product&path=91_87&product_id=330
Now, the Audio Technica one is a new discovery, I was browsing around today and I spotted this one on Amazon/Ebay but is cheapest on their main site which suits me fine.
I can get the Samsung's for £10, Apple EarBuds for £14 and Audio Technica for £14 also.
Please advise on which one you think is better and why. In my head, I think the Audio Technica would be best, why? I've heard people say the Apple EarBuds sound isn't all that, they break easily the cap on the earbud itself and where the wire goes into the actual earbud there is no protection, one bit of a pull and you could damage the earphone. Samsung seems the cheapest option out there, this is probably a freebie with most of the older Samsung's, I think this may be the S2 or S3 headset.
Audio Technica has a Sensitivity of 102dB, the Samsung has a Sensitivity of 105dB and the Apple EarBuds have a Sensitivity of 109dB.
Sorry, didn't expect to write so much, hopefully I can get some good feedback from you all

what about iphone 5's earbuds much better than the 4S ones but don't expect the controls to work though

I've heard that the Apple EarBuds don't really fit all ears and you can't use the standard foam/cotton caps on them to make it a bit more bigger for fit, also they are quite hard so can make your ears hurt if in for long. Read this from reviews.

Updated the whole thread, please advise, would love to order one of the 3 today after good feedback, cheers!

The audio tech... H are really good earbuds . Look at the reviews

I have a pair of OLD AT's and they are great for clarity, but literally NO bass. I cannot vouch for these though, sorry.
But I kinda like the a-jays one+
http://www.jays.se/a-jays-one-plus?___SID=U

You could definitely look into the senhiser range. I personally have a pair, mic less as I don't like in line microphones, and they are amazing.
The dB count on these can go up to a wopping 120, that's what mine do anyways. Definitely check them out!
Oh and I forgot to say, I brought mine for £10 but a good pair with mic can be around £20

I recommend this one all the time (pink) just cause it is 13 dollars cheaper but it gives incredible sound for a cheap price.

If you want extremely good sound quality and if you don't have much of a budget, I suggest the Bose Soundlink II
http://www.amazon.com/Bose®-SoundLi...qid=1374689977&sr=8-1&keywords=bose+soundlink
If you want good sound and more of a budget I suggest the Jambox.

There are many other types and brands, but when it comes to really good quality you gotta spend atleast over $100..

Completely agree with this. I have heard good things about the Jabra Solemate and even the Logitech UE boombox aswell as the beats pill but that is pushing $200+.
I would wait on a sale since big box stores like to put these portable speakers on sale and you could score a deal.

I have the UE Boombox and it's great. You can connect via bluetooth up to 8 devices, has a good range, and battery lasts for about 8-10 hours.

earphone

Which earphone is good for max pro m1

Ubon ? phone

Boat earphones

JBL C200SI are the best.
Great bass great sound quality and it has a mic.

I am using boat earphones

skullcandy jib with mic
hi i recently purchased skullcandy jib(with mic) for INR900, they work really well. good sound quality with decent bass and 2yrs warranty.

Imo the earphones by boat are decent quality and have low prices. It's also comfortable to use while gaming because of the bend at the plug in part.

Using sony xb90ap. Due to the high impedance, volume level is a little lower than the other headphones but its ok for me.

I would recommend 1more piston Fit

Hi, i am using ant audio w56 earphones
And it's great as of now for 499 INR

For the low quality kind of phone / audio processing, any headphone will do. Don't expect a high-priced high-quality cans to boost audio quality or hearing experience or low quality stock buds to deteriorate an already mediocre output.

I am using FALATEK EROS in Ear Wired Earphone
Best buy from amazon under rs399

https://www.amazon.in/FALATEK-EROS-Earphone-Isolation-Headphones/dp/B07TTHW8VN

A bit off-topic, but why is so difficult to find a decent earphone (with mic) but with asymmetrical cable?
I currently have a very good with a superb sound quality Sennheiser CX300 but without microphone. For the situations I need the mic, I just pick the ones that came with my ZB606kl, which are weak and the cord on the neck produces more noise than the environment
I've been searching from times to times and really can't find what I really want.

Philips SHE1505 works great for me.
