[Q] APT-X headphones

Hi, I'm using Note 2 and I'm looking for a bluetooth headphone that supports APT-X with decent sound quality on both voice call and music, any suggestions?

The Samsung HS3000 is fantastic. Great audio quality for music (especially with Apt-X), and the best sound quality for phone calls I've experienced (I've had top end Plantronics, Jabra, etc. in the past). The earbuds that come with it are not very good, but if you replace them with good ones (I use Yuin PK3) you are in for a treat. And it is only $30.

Thanks but I don't think this HS3000 supports APT-X

Yes, it does. I have one. Moreover, it has the CSR Apt-X logo on the package, and it is listed as supporting it on the Samsung website, as well as CSR's.

Hi Pal,
have you tried Sennheiser CX 275s with Moto G, i heard it is not compatible with phone ?
Kindly suggest if your Sennheiser CX 275s worked with Moto G
reply awaited

Nope, I have CX200 which are great.

sound magic es 18 black & red

using Panasonic earphones with mic and are running flawlessly and sounds great considering the price tag of Rs 330. though i had to mod the sound with viper4android.

I have my MH 650 sony earphones which came with my previous sony phone.
They are awesome with great bass and i've been using them for quite sometime.
or you can try Sony EX Series MDR-EX110AP/R.

Using Nokia WH-205 In-Ear-Canalphone with Moto G. Great music with solid bass and ambiance at Rs.300. Using it since 2.5Yrs, initially with Micromax Canvas 2 and now with Moto G since March 2014.
At software end, following 2 options are awesome for pleasant hearing.
Motorola Stock ROM DSP with 3D equaliser mode (Great Ambiance with balanced bass)
PowerAmp Music player (Awesome bass with comfortable Ambiance effect).

GREAT IEM....but needs to be burn for 50 hours to get the best from it.

Highly recommended!!
GO FOR "PANASONIC RP-HJE120"!!!
because simply it's the HIGHEST rated earphone In the price bracket
http://www.flipkart.com/panasonic-r...e120&ref=df0f9eb8-a691-404c-8065-bbbd7e326fff

After lots of research .Here's my list of tested earphones on the Moto G
1) Samsung EHS44ASSBECINU - Answer button doesnt work' , Mic works ; Ok sound on Motog .Works better on samsung phones as impedence matching is better
2) Nokia WH-205 - Answer button doesnt work .Haven't tested mic. Very good sound quality . I would have picked this up had the answer button worked.
3) Sony MH 750 - Everything works and sound quality is excellent . Asymmetric wires. Bang for buck . Buds are delicate unlike Samsung's . No flat cable .Handle with care .
4) Universal earphone - Chinese make . Everything works and its got a switch for CTIA & OMTP modes .Sound quality is basic.

What about Cowon Em1? I heard they are nice.

XDA isn't really going to be a good place to discuss earphones/IEMS head over to head-fi http://www.head-fi.org/t/478568/mul...-narmoo-r1m-added-07-03-14-p-936#post_6492051
That guide is very good.

Where did you buy your N5 from? I've never heard of one coming with headphones.

Well, I can confirm that all Nexus 5's sold in India officially (from google as well as from other retailers) come with LG headphones
May be it's just being included in Asia-Pacific region?? Or may be with D821 units..

share your budget too

Samsung HS130

This headset is fully compatible with G3.
Moreover, this is the cheapest way to get the cable with remote/mic to modify with current headphones.
I have modified 4 headsets/headphones, including Bose Freestyle, to be fully compatible with G3 (and other LG models running 4.4) and Sony models.

Skip track works?

2 or 3 anyone of them will suit your needs well, I will lean towards Sony MDR because personally I have tried it and it has some amazing bass and better build quality than cx275 but it's your choice but go for 2 or 3.

Best Bluetooth earphones under 2k
1)Qcy M1c its louder with heavy bass
2)Qcy M1PRO it has battery saving features

Well If you are willing to expand your budget by a tiny bit you can get ANC as well.
I'd recommend the type-C highly & more so than the latter especially if you have a phone with a type-C port because it has stellar noise-cancellation for the asking price
https://www.mi.com/hk/mi-noise-cancelling-earphones-type-C/
While this 3.5mm is not as amazing as the type-C version its almost equally good considering the way they designed it with a clip & there are 2 levels of ANC to choose from & has an 8 hour battery. My only complaint with this is I wish the battery was larger.
https://www.mi.com/hk/mi-noise-cancelling-earphones/
I have used both & in combination with https://store.mi.com/in/item/3180600001 you also get ANC & BT with the 3.5mm version which I feel is a huge advantage & the only disadvantage of the type-C version(ie you cannot charge, from a powerbank or otherwise, & use the headset) !
