Anybody know of some ear buds with the mic. for $20 or less. I like the stock ones that came with the phone but for some reason only the left side works. I would even settle for the same exact ones , but can't seem to find them anywhere. I am by no means an audiophile but do like a little bass, I mostly listen to podcasts and audiobooks.
Thanks for any suggestions.

Well,if you can go another five bucks,I HIGHLY recommend these stereo bluetooth headphones from,of all companies,jWIN.Thats right,I said jWIN These have gotten excellent reviews at Amazon and elsewhere,praising them for their great sound quality and great battery life.I myself have gotten over 10 hours between two hour charges(charged by plugging into my computer).They even fold down nice and compact when you arent using them,nice.The link is for Amazon(with free shipping),but I have seen them on Buy.com for around $24.00 with free shipping as well.Shop around you might even do better. I think they are worth twice and then some what they are asking for them,for the money you really cant go wrong!Hope this helped
I just realized I cant post a link yet The product you can search for on Amazon is called:"Stereo Bluetooth Backphones",the cheaper of the two that pop up are the ones I'm talking about.
Thanks I'll take a look.
Your welcome
I personally use the razer moray headset. Can be purchased online from ebay for as low as 17.00. Granted they do not have inline controls but they do have inline mic as well as great comfort level and surprisingly good audio quality.

That's weird, one side of my stock set went out too recently (the side with the mic). It puts out aroud 5% volume, barely audible, while the other side is fine. I was thinking about calling T-Mo and complaining to get a new set. I've had mine since July and haven't used them much.
I use these http://www.amazon.com/Skullcandy-S2INBI-FZ-Inline-Microphone-Black/dp/B002SW3MP8/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1295634861&sr=8-2 and I love them. The bass is deep and tight, and they are ultra comfortable, and the weight of mic does NOT cause the earphone to come outta your ear like some with other heavier mics... people say voice quality is great!
I've never used my original set, pm me if you're interested.
Don't know if they have a Fred Meyers in your neck of the woods. But I bought a pair of Skull Candy headphones w/mic for $19.00. They work decently.
Skullcandys stink. Check out Sennheiser's website.

Odd question, but did you guys actually push the jack all the way into the phone? My first time plugging it in I had that same problem until I noticed it didn't click all the way in, so I gave it a lil nudge and it worked on both sides.
Well I personally like my Zagg Smartbuds.I paid $39.99 (After a 10% off code) and bought them directely from Zagg.com.They have great sound and i mic works great!!no complaints yet!!

I had the same problem ... turns out my case wouldnt let my sony headphones go in all the way so only 1 side worked.
Anyone else have their stock headphones willing to sell? I love the stock ones, but lost them...

Or just solder an old but good set of earphones onto the cable. The only thing that matters are the drivers producing the sound...the rest are just wires.

Maybe I misunderstand what you are asking, slikk, but wanting the same headphones that came with the phone means to seek out OEM Samsung headphones.
If a product being sold by a third party is stated as an OEM product, then it means the seller did not manufacture it (thereby being from the "Original Equipment Manufacturer"). So to get headphones manufactured by Samsung, thus being the same ones that came with the phone, you actually WANT an OEM Samsung product.
The ones I linked to are an OEM product, so they would be the same ones that came with the phone.
Are these the same as the ones that come with vibrant.
If so, whats the difference between the above headset and this one besides the price.

They are claiming OEM, but the picture doesn't match the stock headphones you get when you buy a vibrant. Maybe the photo they are using is wrong, or maybe they are made by Samsung and the seller misidentified them as t959...no idea.
I actually bought the ones I linked to because the left ear on mine went out, so I can vouch they are the same as what you get when you originally bought your phone.
Hope I've helped you out.
The ones from Deal Day link above are the ones that came stock in the box. I have ordered a pair as well. You can get them there for about $15 or from Samsung for $30. Up to you.

Just what I needed. I got my Vibrant off Craigslist so they didn't include any headphones. Replacements for less than $10? Win.. How is the quality on them though?
haven't recieved them yet. Expecting them in a day or so. I contacted the seller,he said they are OEM. I would expect the quality to be the same as the stock ones.
I never got the chance to use the stock headphones for the Vibrant. Ordered anyway.

I used stock ones..they were great. I havent used anything else so cant compare those with others.
The sound quality on these stock headphones is okay, but nothing spectacular. They are what you expect from a pair costing less than $20. They are quite nice for calls because it seems they are tuned for voice frequencies. For music, the low end rolls off much sooner as compared to higher quality headphones and are not as dynamic. This is the case compared to Woodees w/mic, Koss Porta Pros, UE TripleFi 10 and Grado 225i, all headphones in which I own at various price points. If you can get them for less than $10, I would say that is still a great value.
received the headset bought on ebay. I can confirm they are OEM manufactured by Samsung.
An alternative.
If you're interested in some mic'd headphones that are a good deal higher in quality without breaking the bank, MEElectronics's white CC51P in-ear monitors with microphone are on sale at Amazon for $50, down from the $80 range. I've used the non-mic'd version myself, and the sound quality nearly brought me to tears
If you google "176 review IEM", you'll find a treasure trove of information about in-ear buds, including pricing and value. MEElectronics is known for making excellent budget in-ear buds, with the CC51 and a151 being some of the best sub-100 ear buds on the market (according to the site, at least.)
The stock ones are quite decent actually. Esspcially with voodoo sound module

Did you pick this up? If so can we get a review?
Sent from my LT28h using xda app-developers app
love this headset... hate the equalizer on the ion... i think they are better than beats, atleast the in ear beats... my wife has beats but she tries to take my headset but should won't admit they are better than beats lol
i say they are better than beats because one, they are freaking cheaper by ALOT, two, no distortion in both very low and very high frequencies, three, works awesome with the fm radio and that smart key i assigned to trackid and it does work!
this headset has alot of potential but the ion's equalizer is what is holding the headset from being absolutely perfect... sound wise. the other drawback is that the omni directional mic kinda sucks... i say kinda because the mic does let me come in clear on the other end, just hope the other person is in a somewhat quiet room or else they wont hear you, even if your holding the mic right in front of your mouth. another small draw back is that for a smart headset, there are no next/previous track buttons.
the in line mics has never been kind to me so im kinda used to it. i've been using bluetooth headsets with dual mics and music support (motorola) so i never had a problem being heard. but, i want sony's smart bluetooth so these $20+ (depending where you get it) will hold me over til i have enough to spare for those.
hope this helps.
wonder if the EQ will be better after the ATT ICS update - maybe the walkman app will make things perfect
Would love a review or a comparison. I'm hooked on Skullcandy right now. Was disappointed to see no earbuds in the box.
Sent from my LT28at using xda app-developers app
i also was disappointed with no headphones inside)
im picky to sound quality (loudness of headphones is not indicator of quality) and i satisfied with smart headset. i dont have anything to compare with right now, only sennheiser hd465, but that is different level
it has pretty much deep bass line, mids and treble are also good.
my set comes with 8 pairs of black and green (4 each) tips, so its easy to pick the right size,
there is 4 buttons on control, and they feel almost same, sometimes i hit wrong button
cable completely dont get any tangles, but it looks to bulky sometimes
for $70 on amazon i think its a good purchase
but sony could include them in box
i tried some of skullcandys before and i didn`t like those

got mines for $20 on amazon from a US seller. got worried cuz it said replacement on the title but i got the right item with the ear fittings and working buttons. it was supposed to be with $5 shipping but i got the free shipping thing with orders $25 or more which i got the full body protection film with it.
oh ics did tweak the settings for the equalizer and it sounds absolutely perfect. definitely much better than any in ear beats.

That is for sure true. For 10 bucks I wouldn't go that route.
the reason i ask is i'm not sure which ones to get! first i want to know if i get the 80 ohm version do i need an amp to power them. or would be logical just to get the 32 ohm. i'm pretty sure i'm going to hear this(you should get atm50's) but i'm looking at the beyer's for awhile now. i would appreciate the anyone's input!
I use beyer custom one pro - not exactly the same but they're beyers, and they sound fantastic!

i thought about them for a choice also. do they get loud when you turn them up or do you need an amp? some people say they use an amp with your pro's but i guess that is what they prefer. either the dt770's or custom one pro's in white, don't know yet. i would like to hear them at a store before purchasing them you know
mine are white. so far I havent had to use an amp (there's a dedicated amp inside the HTC One already) but I dont have an amp anyway. I just liked the look of the one's and I'm not REALLY an audiophile even though I do appreciate good sound.
But check razordogaudio on ebay - I got mine from them. Authorized reseller, and they had buy it now / best offer and I got em brand new for $210

I'm still kicking myself in the arse fror selling my beas headphones that came with the Rezound, as a guy who NEVER listens to music, only trips and stuff, It's nice to have a decent pair, but not worth the price for someone like me who doesn't use them often.
Dr. Dre makes enough money, the quality we are getting on these headphones just drop and drop, the rezound was priced normal with the headphones, maybe they took a big loss of that, idk?
but I feel we should at least get an older ear style beats headphones, even the same ones that same with the Rezound I'd be very happy.
Beats is a main selling point on HTC device, I mean sh*t they have it branded on the back of the phone perm.
least they can do is hook us up with some quality beats headphones, ill even take refurbished ones, I don't care, but the ones it came with yes, they work, but considering this phone is 6 months old, AND now just getting it, they could have done something to help us out, price drop, anything, but no,
we are paying the same price that was paid half a year ago.

I don't know what is high price to you and high price to me
I can buy the headphones just as they came in the Rezound for under $40 brand new, new everything, pouch, headphones, all the ear buds etc.
So being that they are a bit old and used, and I don't know how many if if of the rubber ear piecees are left/used, I don't want the used ones.
I would pay $10-$15.
Again no disrespect if too low a price, but that's what I feel comfortable at.

yeah, My wife "stole" mine and keeps dropping them. Now she's complaining that they are cutting out. Can't figure out why...
Personally, I mainly use some LG BT headphones that verizon screwed up and listed for free last year.
You can't go wrong with either. I would go with the 80ohm just because you should future proof your purchase as much as you can.
And ultimately you'll still want to get an amp, however make sure you get at DAC/AMP combo or have a small usb powered DAC. The reasoning is if you don't have an external DAC all your amp is doing as amplifying an already amplified sound because the phone is already doing all of that. And as good as they sound regularly, once you go amped it'll never be the same

You probably need to try another model without earhooks and try different tips so it will stay better in your ears. That is a critical part.
