Hello everyone,
I found this headset Bayerdynamic MMX 101 iE accidentally just a while ago.
If anyone has tried it, can you please write your review here?
Edit: Is the sound quality good? Microphone quality? Compatibily with Desire?
http://europe.beyerdynamic.com/shop/hah/headphones-and-headsets/sports-and-on-the-way/mmx-101.html
This has caught my eyes since a few day ago but I can not find any reviews at all.
So, any words for this headset will be very appriciated since I need one right now.
Edit: Sorry misstyping by Beyerdynamic , it should be Bayerdynamic
you couldn't find more expensive ones, could you?
hehehe

Well...€99 still belongs to the middle class..there are still more with more expensive.
I think the price range between €70-€100 is the correct range for me, more than €100 is a bit too expensive.
Remember you get what you pay.
That type is competely new and there is still no real review available...perhaps I just have to wait for some time until the review is there.
more expensive

I have found several good ones above €100 but I am not planning to go that high.
It was launched during the musikmesse/music fair just a while ago so..it's kinda new and still without any convincing review.
I will have to wait until there are more review.
Hi Im fairly new to these forums but i can tell you that you cant go wrong with these. I bought these about a week ago and have been nothing short of stunned by the quality. They have great bass and really crisp clear midrange. I would say that these are better than the sennheisers and klipschs s2i that i have.
One thing to note is that make you play around with the earbuds as if you get them wrong they sound really flat and dull so make sure you get them to seal in your ears properly.
It is also a coincidence, yesterday I met some in train on the way home after work.
I asked if I can use it for a couple of minutes in the train, and he said yes.
My review within a few minutes:
1. sound quality is incredible for the price.
2. mic is also good.
3. unfortunately, no volume control or whatsoever except a button to pick up and hang up the call. (not really a big problem, not really in need of a mic and pick up button anyway).
4. metal housing for the ear pieces is awesome.
5. the cable looks extremely fragile to me. it is thin, not braided, etc.
(I am not sure of getting this headset because of this. This is the biggest downside. My current in-ear headphone (Klipsch Image S3) has just given up or lost its life just last night, the cable got broken again. The warranty is still there, but I don't want to claim it for the third time. I just prefer a new one instead of waiting weeks for claiming. It must be something wrong with how I store the headphone in my bag ).
6. Ear plug/bud don't fit my ears perfectly, I have tried on the one attached tho'. (It could be another problem)
I also found Philips SHO9560 (O'Neal stretch). It looks super robust but doesn't have good sound relatively compared to mmx-101i. Its look is also very appealing.
Now, I'm confused.
Way too expensive for me.
For the same price (or cheaper) I would get headphones/earphones from already proven company: Sennheiser.
Update:
Phillips SHO9560 sounds teribble.
MMX101ie doesn't really fit my ear...it comes off often (unless I get the individual package, but it is too expensive)...I don't wanna get an in-ear anymore...getting something which fits my ear is just a matter of luck...
No AKG products fits my huge head size (honest), I like the sound of AKG K518 but it is too small for my head, tried also 430, 420, 520, etc....
This is official! I hate AKG! This company never thinks of people with huge head like me! It is discrimination!
Sony XD300, XD500...sounds dark (bass too strong, trebble not clear)
Dr. Dre Solo HD is too expensive for the quality I am getting.
I will look for some more...Sennheiser, Denon, Bose, etc....
What I hate is that Desire can not really pull Sennheiser PXC450 (I own one at home and I use it mostly during flights or at home)....volume gets too low even on max.
Sh*t it is not easy to find the correct one!
Late response!
I just found this thread after looking into the MMX101 iEs myself - what was your solution in the end? I really like these headphones and fortunately they fit my ears; unfortunately though, the mic and answer button did not work, so I'm having to send them back. Hopefully the replacements will work fine!
Did you settle on over-ear headphones in the end? Given your situation I would have recommended the Sony MDR-V500 - great headphones, excellent range, solid bass response which is punchy but doesn't overwhelm the mid-range, and amazingly cheap considering!
Hope you managed to get this sorted anyway.
I've got these. Nothing short of awesome. The sound quality at all levels is incredibly crisp and you don't use any equaliser settings/tweaks as the ear phones sort all that out for you. Had mine for two years now and need a new set and will definitely buy the same ones again.
Also get 3 pairs of different size buds depending on what suits your ear best.
Someone can confirm the microphone and remote of Beyerdynamic MMX-101 works with android?
Thanks

That does not depend on OS (Android, iOS, Windows). The "problem" is different layout of rings on the 3.5mm connector with different phone manufacturers ("microphone" and "ground" rings are swapped). It's natively compatible with iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch, Blackberry and HTC. If you want them to work correctly with Nokia, Sony, Samsung, Motorola, LG and other models you have to buy a separate adaptor.
I bought V-Moda M100 in the end.
It is expensive but worth every single penny I spent

Hello everyone, I noticed there are no full reviews on the N4's official earphones, so I decided to do one.
Please note; all opinions expressed in this review are of my own, and may not reflect the opinions shared by others.
Shipping
Shipping was amazing (speed wise), the package was shipped out around 11pm, and I received it the next day. but then again for such an outrageous shipping price that's what I would expect.
Box
The actual box the earphones arrived in is.. tiny, however it does sport a premium feel to it.
On the downside, the earphones were in a cheap plastic bag and had an overall feeling of just being "thrown" in the box.
View attachment 1919426
First impressions (looks)
The earphones themselves look amazing, the back-plate (bit with the X on) has a nice chrome finish with engraved circles showing off the Nexus "X" logo.
However, the base of the ear-bud is made out of plastic which is no biggie, but it would be nice if it were all chrome.
View attachment 1919431
The earphones
The earphones come with 3 different ear-buds, a tree design, and two normal straight buds. However, all the buds are extremely squishy and too soft to stay in the ear, so I had to replace them with my old Sony buds, as shown in the picture below.
View attachment 1919457
Cable + Splitter
The cable has a high quality smooth rubber feel with a normal inline splitter, however to improve; they should be going with the Nexus design (on the splitter), it should have had more details put into it such as the Nexus X logo, matching the ear-buds.
View attachment 1919466
Microphone + button
The microphone is standard, nothing too special about it but the sound quality is good, again same issue with the mic as the splitter; its too bland.
The button is in built onto the other-side of the mic, and has two uses (that I've noticed) one. Play/Pause button for when listening to music (Only tested on Spotify) two. when holding down the button it opens a Google Now voice search.
View attachment 1919484
Sound quality
Sound quality off the bat is.. crisp but flat. Highs are good, mids are average and there's no bass. However, just like with most headphones, all they need is a little EQ. Going with this mod: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2025486
I was able to achieve great, highs, mids. bass, the whole package!
Here are my settings:
Awesome beats:

Are they worth it?
I would say yes, however shipping is outrageous, £6 shipping from Ireland to London, it would be nice if they provided an alternative shipping option which is slower but then again a lower price. But on a whole, the pros outweigh the cons in my opinion, the only real letdown (for me) is ear-buds; THEIR TOO SOFT.

Hey thanks for this review.
I gotta vouch for his review. Everything he said is pretty spot on from when ive been using them
I'd be curious for your thoughts on other similarly priced earbuds from major brands, like Skullcandy or whatever.

I previously had the Sony MDREX50
UK: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Sony-MDREX50LPB-Mid-range-In-ear-Headphones/dp/B004NRNMII/
US: http://www.amazon.com/Sony-MDREX50LPB-BLACK-Series-Headphones/dp/B004NRNMII/
Which are now in fact cheaper than the N4's, sound quality on those is really good, crisp vocals, good bass, mids amazing, but lows and highs do suffer abit, again nothing that cant be fixed by messing around with the EQ. The only reason I went for the N4's over a slightly superior sounding Sony's is build quality. (The N4's can be just as good, but EQ is REALLY hard to get right, It'll take you a fair while figuring out the perfect settings)
The build quality on the Sony's is pure sh*t, the cable literally 1mm tick, the ear-bud is made out of cheap plastic which has after a months use already started scuffing away. It's a Porsche vs Smart Car ( http://www.smartusa.com/ ) situation (for build quality that is..) with the Porsche being the N4's and the Smart Car being the Sony's. But that's just my opinion, as for me having bad build quality is a deal breaker. :good:
thanks for the review, ive been thinking of getting these soon.
The medium sized buds that came in the box are great, but not ideal for the gym. I recently purchased a pack of T400 comply foam tips and they fit perfectly which makes the earphone even better in the ear.

They're okay, still too squishy for me though, but hey everyone's ears are different. However I can differently vouch the T400 comply's, great alternative for any situation really. I was considering the TSX-500, but at such a steep price; I think I'll pass.
How are they compared to the Galaxy Nexus headphones?

Yeah, I tweaked the settings a bit after, but now their amazing, - its really down to each person ears, and how they like the sound. My N4 headphones actually broke (no idea how), getting a RMA, and in the meantime I'm back with my Sony's, the difference is unbelievable, the N4's sound so crisp and amazing compared to the dull Sonys.

Well, not enough to write a fair review on them anyway.
This has a gold plated jack if you look closely on google play store. Wonder why yours wasn't gold plated though o.o.
Thanks for the review. I have been waiting for someone to post their thoughts on the nexus headphones.

Hey everybody, I am currently in the market for some new earbud headphones for my S4. I have heard about a lot of people having problems with no stock headphones and I want to avoid that. The headphones I am looking for need the following features:
1. Fit comfortably in ear and don't fall out when running (I personally really like the iPhone 5 style headphones for this)
2. Has volume/track control & mic that works for Android (most seem to be apple only)
3. Decent to Good audio quality
4. Hopefully not super tangley material
Please let me know what you guys think, I am having a hard time finding headphones with those constraints. I would be happy with the iPhone 5 headphones, except for the controls not working and they tangle horribly and easily. My budget is in the $100 range but I'm open to whatever suggestions.
Take a look at yurbud. I just bought some, just waiting for them to come in. The only problem is that the don't have the volume control but do have the mic and track button.

The default thing people will reccommend to you would be the Klipsh Image S4's although there is a designated android version, it only has a one button remote. As far as I know, the only headphones/earbuds that have a 3 button remote for android are the stock S4 headphone's, a variant of urbeats and I believe there is one more but I cant quite think of it.
You can also check out Head-Fi for reviews on headphones by audiophiles.

So my Nexus 5's speaker is absolute garbage compared to my Nexus 5. the range is just non-existent and it has incredibly bad distortion during phone calls, and most music and videos.
Right now i'm ready to return the phone and spend another year with my nexus 4 over it, but before i do, i'm curious to know if mine might just be defective.
So to all the other owners, do you have distortion, pops and the like when making phone calls or having any audio through and how does it compare to your previous phones, especially any other Nexus 4 owners.
Right now my N4 sounds like my $150 desktop speakers compared to the N5.

Yeah that's why i'm posting because i find it incredibly hard to believe that the Nexus 5, in 20 god damn 13 had worse speakers than my G1 from 2008. And just to test, i broke out my G1, MyTouch 3G and Nexus One, and played the same ringtones on each. No distortion on any device but the N5.
The Verge even said in their review that they had distortion on the speaker which almost leads me to think this is normal, and unacceptable.

all reviews are saying the speaker is terrible. same with the camera. but they're comparing it to 600+ dollar phones, you get what you pay for, the bulk on the 350 dollars is going toward the processor and screen

That is true, but my $300 Nexus 4 from a year ago sounds 100 times better than my $400 (32gb) nexus 5 from this year.
And also the whole $700/$350 thing is kinda bull****. Though that phone does cost $700 to buy, it costs the same as what a nexus costs, usually around $150-$200 to produce. Google just cuts out all the middle men and carrier BS to get the price to be that low. Yes they do make sacrifices but my damn G1 sounds better than my Nexus 5, so that has nothing to do with cost.

No, it's not just you, I thought it was me!
I came from an HTC One X and the call quality is terrible; a bit like what I imagine being a little bit deaf is like and when I'm playing a video or have a call on speaker, the thing buzzes and vibrates. Not good compared to my previous phone.
ugh. this isn't looking good. i really was hoping i was the only one. Hope we get a lot more replies here tonight.
Only one speaker?
On mine I noticed only one side is playing the music? anyone else?
I'm hoping it's something like a mic and speaker... and not a deffective

thats correct. one side is the speaker and one is the mic. evidently this is normal practice on the iphone and many other devices. I just found out today.
Hows your quality though?
Two things i hear the crackle/pop on guaranteed is the ringing of a phone call and for some reason Lindsey Stirlings Crystalize, the first 30-40 seconds. lots of other examples but those two are the easiest and most noticeable i found.

Just got my white 32gb N5 today and indeed mine is suffering from similar issues. At first I was thinking my right speaker was DOA but I later learned it's not a speaker at all and is a mic - the N5 is a mono device. So, I played some music, an audio book and tried out some ringtones. A pop was audible on some ringtones and the audiobook. The sound gets pretty distorted when at the top two levels. I wonder if the pop is down to the audio coding because now I've downloaded higher quality files, the pop has gone away and distortion not quite as bad at high levels. Yet to try out a phone call over the speaker.
I've tested some music at 320 bit rate and hd video on youtube and the play store and same issues. and then no issues at all on the nexus 4.
Great I was so excited to purchase my first nexus phone. Ugh

You know, I was at Pete's Coffee last night with my girlfriend and 2 people were talking next to us about this exact same issue. A man in his early 30s was talking to a buddy of his about the Nexus 5, and naturally, I zoned out from what my girlfriend had to say overheard their conversation.
They were talking about the Nexus 5 and how one of them who had the phone loved it, except he said the speaker was very poor quality.
Hopefully mine does not have this issue when it arrives this Thursday.
The Nexus 5's speaker is actually pretty darn good. Not quite HTC One level but damn close. It uses the same chip technology the HTC One has but only has a mono speaker on the bottom edge instead. It should be MUCH better than the Nexus 4, the Galaxy S4, or similar.
If it is sounding distorted, it is quite possibly a damaged speaker or chip, and should be RMA'ed. Reviews (unlike what some whacko said) have actually been pretty positive about the speaker.

Your now the second person i've seen to say that it's good. How much have you tested it though? phone calls? loud movies? music?
I want to keep this phone, or at least get a replacement, but i got about 5 people with me saying they have similar issues so it's getting harder to imagine that it's a defect.
My sound is pretty faint. I'll be lucky if I hear a text or call

I have played music from a couple different sources at full volume and I haven't heard any distortion.
I actually just watched a full review of the phone here in the General section, and he says the speaker is absolutely great! although he does not ever test in the video.
Been using mine all day. A bit of music and a fair few YouTube video and I've not noticed any problems at all. Nowhere near as loud as the Note 2 I'm coming from, but few phones are as loud as it. So far I'm happy with speaker quality

Well since some of you do not seem to have this issue I'm going to hope those of us with it just have defective units and i'm going to exchange mine.
If the one i get has the same issues though, i'll be sticking with my Nexus 4 for another year.
Hey guys, I didn't seem to find any information about the speakers in the review section of the forum. I know OnePlus has been using the same single downward firing speaker with their phones since they began, and just want some opinions and insight as to how good they are. I know they can be easily muted with your hand, but are they at least loud and clear? REALLY considering the upcoming 6t, but just want to know if the speakers are at least good enough. Thanks!
Speaker is weak.. Really weak. Root + ViPER4Android makes it somewhat better.. But yeah you can't fix bad hardware with software.

Well shoot, I'm coming from a Motorola Nexus 6. I'll be leaving behind a QHD display and stereo front facing speakers for this device. I decided OnePlus because I definitely want a device with a great dev scene, but these trade offs man! Lol
The op6 speaker is better than any Samsung single speaker. For single speakers it's not that bad. I can hear it in my pocket.
I'm gonna agree with Gizmoe, I think it's actually quite good. Last few devices were Sony Z3 (dual speaker/ stereo), Moto z3 (dual speaker/ stereo) Nexus 6p (dual speaker/ stereo) LG g6, Samsung S8+ , and now OP6...for a single speaker it sounds pretty damn good. Also there are stereo mods for OP6 as well as Viper for even better sound.
It's easily my favorite device.
Speqker is pretty good... Can't say its worst or bad. But defienetly gives crystal clear sound while listening to video or youtube.

Alrighty! Yeah I'm not expecting anything amazing, but just so long as it sounds okay I'm good! Yeah ditching stereo speakers and QHD is hard for me, though I checked out my buddy's 5T the other day and remember thinking "that screen is 1080? It looks GREAT!" But then I covered his speaker with my thumb and well......... LOL But just hoping it sounds at least okay, I'm gonna take the dive and go for the 6T this time. I really hope there's a red color option on launch! The red 6 looks soooooo awesome to me!

I was kind of spoiled coming from a Motorola x pure edition with 2 stereo front-firing speakers. They sounded loud and high quality with minimal distortion. The op6 doesn't hold a candle but I would say it is serviceable.

That's because on the S9 they started using the bottom speaker and the earpiece speaker. It's not just one speaker.

Thank you for pointing this out! I had no idea! Guess that's really not a good comparison, huh? Sorry.
Considering it's a single speaker it's pretty decent, im easily able to speak on calls on the speakerphone which always has been my benchmark for how loud and clear a speaker is on a phone. The position of the speaker is crap, very easily mutable specially while playing games but if flop the phone where notch if your right side, that issue can be overcome.

I didn't even consider gaming. Wow, that's something to think about! Well I'm going to watch the launch event tomorrow and decide, but it's a tough one. Coming from a Nexus device to a OnePlus? I'm leaning towards it because Nexus is no more and the new pixel phone??? I considered it, but for something I've going to look at several times a day for a few years or more, that notch is atrocious! Just insulting really.
Notch on Pixel 3 is super ugly and not to forget only 4 GB of Ram which means reloads (already notched by reviewers). For OP6T, it should have onscreen fingerprint scanner which may be the new technology but I can bet it won't be as fast as conventional fingerprints - that makes it a fail for me. Only thing to envy for OP6 users should be the teardrop notch. Gluck with decision making
The 6T will have stereo bottom firing speakers. Where the Jack was is replaced by a speaker. The fingerprint reader is going to be slower though and isn't always on. Making the experience slower than on the 5, 5t and 6. It's the reason I didn't wait and bought a 6 just a week ago. I figured the first to market with this would be more gimmicky than functional.
