I've tried both and own the Klipsch S4 and the S2m, and belive me the S4's are way superior than the Monster ones.

Besides, if you want opinions on headphones, this isn't really the place, try head-fi or such, they know headphones there. Besides, anything that's "Monster" this or "Dre" that = trash.

Here's a thread on head-fi with 40+ replies comparing the two..
http://www.head-fi.org/forum/thread/449174/monster-turbine-vs-klipsch-image-s4
you might find some useful info there. I personally just bought the turbines because i got them for $60 with the amazon black friday lightning deal and made a spontaneous decision to buy them. Haven't got them yet though.
I can't really tell which ones are better but I just stumbled upon the Klipsch S4 since I am looking for new headphones/headset myself. Check out this review. And look at their headphone charts and where they positioned the S4s. Also available as a headset: Klipsch S4i
Maybe that helps. I think I am going to go for the S4(i)s. If I could just figure out whether the remote is going to work with my Nexus CM6.1 RC2...
Edit: And with just a little bit of research you are able to answer your own questions. To cut a long story short: headsets designed for iPhone/iPod/iPad should work with the Nexus in general. I wouldn't walk around the block for that but I am gonna give it a shot with the S4is
Edit2: Alright, keep updating you guys although you probably just don't care. So it's been reported that the volume buttons of the S4i are not working. Mic and play button seem to be functional, though.
I am actually getting some V-Moda Crossfade LP's for a long plane ride. I am getting them for a steal of 68% off retail. I couldn't pass the deal so I jumped to get them. From what I have read, that these bad boys are pretty bass-y and that the wires are kevlar and come in two flavors, straight cord and cord with a mic. It is made to be used for iPhones, but I don't really care if any of the buttons work. I actually intend to use the headphones along with my sony ericsson mw600 for bluetoothy goodness, but I know I'll be using the cords on the plane. I'll report back once I tested them.

Hello Group,
I would like a few suggestions on which Bluetooth to use on my S5. I just got the Samsung HM1300 and after trying it out I really don't care for it.
It paired up with S5 with no problem but the actual earpiece volume is weak IMO and I would like one that actually gets loud any suggestions folks?
Thanks

I like my Jabra Clear.. However headsets are kind of a personal thing. What fits for one person may not be good for another - a friend of mine was raving about his Jawbone, so I originally bought one of those, but I didn't like how it felt. IMO you need to just find a store with a good return policy and start buying/trying/returning until you find one you like. Just make sure when you return it, you tell them it's broken - otherwise they'll probably just stick it back on the shelf and some unsuspecting sap will get a dose of your ear potatoes.
I recently bought a moto x and I love it coming from a galaxy note 3. I was wondering what kind of headphones do people use for their moto x? I myself will probably use the headphones mostly at the gym and if I could still use the hand less features if I could.

You're not going to believe me but these are GREAT. Nothing compares to the sound of these within at least $30. And I have tried a ton of brands. Don't let the price deter you. It comes with 3 sizes of rubber fitting things.
Edit: No mic. Still recommend for excellent audio.

These are pretty good bluetooth headphones that I got on sale about 3 weeks ago for 15 bucks.they work really well and the sound isn't bad either,you can get a higher volume than what the bluetooth volume says on your phone.

Over-ear, traditional buds, or in-ear? Wired or blue-tooth.
My preference for workout is wired buds (I don't like the rubber in-ear ones as much). I have some Motorola, Senhouser (sp?), and an old pair from blackberry. I actually like the blackberry ones best. I see them offered all the time for $5 or so.
Degauss Pocket headphones don't work
I'm also on the hunt for headphones after switching from iPhone - I want in ear wired buds that let me use in-line controls. I ordered the Sol Republic Jax from the motorola website, which are single button version. With the headset control app, it works ok, letting me pause and play music, pick up calls, and even skip tracks and control volumes although with an annoying two (forward), three (back) and four (volume) clicks. But i think the mic is too far down the headphones, it knocks against my jackets and doesn't pick up sound well when i make calls outside, which is where i mostly use my headphones to make calls from.
So I ordered a pair of Degauss Labs Pocket headphones, advertised as 3 button android headphones. Got them today, they don't even work as single button headphones, so annoying. With the headphones plugged in and nothing playing, I can hear soft clicks when i press the buttons so I know something is being transmitted by the buttons, but nothing happens on my phone, even with the Degauss headphone controller app. Sad, because they're great looking headphones with good sound and the mic is positioned (logically) close to your face.
And the hunt continues - any suggestions for good earbuds with at least a 1 button but ideally 3 button in line control that isn't set up to be the Y splitter of the headphone cord (ie halfway down my body)?
Wired headphones I would like one with a mic so that. I. Don't have to touch my phone. I would like to be able to just leave it in my pocket and say " ok google play..." and well I guess use the same features as if the phone was on the table. Not sure if it would do that with just any hardphones since I don't have any yet.
I have seen the jay bird bluetooth ear buds are a winner with most people but don't know how they work on the moto x
LG HBS 900's.
Yuin Pk2 with Yurbuds sleeves. I own thousands upon thousands of dollars worth of headphones and those are my go-to set. Hands down the best sounding, most musical, and just downright fun pair of buds you can get for under $100. And the Yurbuds sleeves make them comfortable enough to wear all day long and improve the bass response a fair amount. They don't have any buttons, but I'd much rather have an amazing set of headphones with no buttons than a mediocre set with them.
I've got Shure E2Cs that are a decade old (amazing build quality), VSONIC R04 Pros and a couple sets of the $7 Monoprice earbuds. For the gym, running and general wandering around town, the monoprice ones are what I use. Pretty darn durable, sound pretty good and so cheap I don't worry about 'em. When you're moving you're going to be hearing your body and the cord and not paying that much attention, so why spend $$$ on anything other than good fit, decent clarity and some good bass?
I have Yamaha EPH100SL for mobility and Bowers & Wilkins P5 for everything else.
Jesus does anyone have anything reasonable in price that has a mic and controls?
These threads always turn into a brag fest who has the most expensive stuff.
I just got the Aftershokz Bluez 2 Bluetooth headphones and they are seriously slick. They use bone conduction and rest on your cheekbones in front of your ears so there is nothing that goes in or on your ears leaving them wide open. You can listen to music and still hear everything making them great for work. The sound quality isn't the greatest but considering their convenience, it's more than acceptable. They work as a normal bluetooth headset too so you can make calls with them too. I'd check 'em out, they're really neat!

Well, I use a cheap pair of old Blackberry ear buds most of the time, as I have a bunch of them and keep a set in the car, my desk, etc. I prefer the ear bud style to these new in-ear things. My recommendation is always Sennheiser. The old MX line are my choice if I don't want a microphone (based on them being buds). The new CX 5.00 look really nice. MM70s are probably the best suited to standard Android phones. I have HD 280 Pros for home use, about 4 times the size of my phone.
To use them at the gym, I would go bluetooth. Something like a Motorola S10, S11, or SF 500. They can be had for $50 or less and let you put your phone down someplace safe.
EtymotIc HF2. Same pair I've used for M8, Nexus 5, MotoX (OG). Nothing specific or special per phone.

soundmagic mp-21, but it just has one button, soundquality is excellent expecially for a set less than 30 euros, there also is the E10M, which has 3 buttons but only one works in android they say (but that might be oem specific) for less than 50 euros. Google them, I think many audiophiles believe you cannot get better value for money
I have my old Motorola X 2013 headphones, great enough
How about Amazon headphones. Well better than their $10 price tag and the magnet feature is cool.
I'm going to post this again..
Trust me on these GREAT sound. Arguably better than most in ear headphones under $50. You can't lose for $8.

Since my vz note 4 didn't come with earphones, can someone recommend me some decent earphones (in black if possible) that has compatible mic and vol controls? I'm not an audiophile, so I'm not looking to spend a lot. Whatever that doesn't break down quick and has good audio for music/podcasts. Also, does anyone know the model number of the earphones that came with the note 4 for other carriers? Thanks.

Sennheiser MM30G
I love these, you can't beat the value for there price of 20 bucks and they are 400% better then the included Samsung headset. They fully support volume , next/previous song and Answer/Hangup call (actually they are designed specially for Samsung). Great sound, great value, can't find a better fully supported headset for this price:good::good::good:
Any earphones are better than the included ones. I use Sony mdr 10 rbt for listening to music, plantronics voyager legend for most calls and meetings and also listening podcasts and I use plantronics backbeat fit for workouts.

Without the silicone the Samsung OEM are a little bigger (in picture white is Samsung) but for me they fit much more comfortable then the Samsung. Oh and as with most earpieces it comes with 3 sizes of silicone earpieces small, medium and large. I just looked up my invoice, I paid 20 euro for them here in the Netherlands, not 20 USD, so prolly you will by able to find them for 30 USD

I am currently using the earphones that came with the gs3 and none of the different earpieces fit me properly. Every time I moved my head, they would fall out. I am using different adapters and was hoping they would fit on the MM30G. If there isn't that much of a size difference, I think they might work. Yeah, I was going to ask where you got it for 20 cause I can't find them for that price. Closest I can find is like almost $60usd. Appreciate the quick replies, man. If I can find them for around $30, I just might get them. I will still look for some different earphones til then.

The build quality is better but the sound quality is not good. I started to use them first because they look ok and I was expecting them to be better but when I put on the backbeat fit for a workout I just understood how bad the sound is on the included earphones and how much of the music is lost. I am not an audiophile but I can notice obvious differences. And this is compared with bluetooth headphones which supposedly do not have as good sound as wired headphones.

Ohh...I guess I can ignore the newer OEM earphones then. I always wanted a wireless headset cause the cords always get caught on something. Only thing stopping me is that I just know I'll forget to charge them up. Do the bluetooth headphones eat a lot of the phone's battery?

Do you know if these headphones have different length wires for each ear? So you can put one of them behind your head. I recently got some popular Chinese ones that were recommended here. They sound great, but I really miss the behind the head wire feature.

I use mostly bluetooth headphones and I do not see it impacting the battery a lot but overall I am not so happy with the battery life of om Note 4 (910C model). Maybe because I have skype, lync, good and other stuff running all the time...
I also use the sennheiser mm30g... Only thing with them if you listening to music on full volume you need good quality audio, using Spotify definitely notice the difference between different audio bit rates... Also they have a great mic as I use it a lot and stock Samsung ones are junk imo for voice calls
I have these and love them.

Jay birds are one of my favorites
You could try the Etymotic MC2 and HF2 models, which are made to be compatible with controlling Android phones. They have them at Etymotic website but also on Amazon.
Will give you a heads up that while these are nice my experience is that, for heavy users who dont baby these things and keep them a bag and all that, they get beat up after a while - the cords fray. But the sound is pretty good.

Yeah, I just got them and really like them too. I bought them from Amazon but interestingly, this showed up on the Amazon site page for these in the last day or two:

Thanks for the late suggestions, but I ended up getting the sennheiser mm30g because that was suggested the most. I might look into the jaybirds in the future, but they are too expensive at the moment.
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 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.
