"Stock" headphones from box; one ear not working

I was using the headphones (which imo, are the best I've ever used), and suddenly one of them cuts off, and jerks back, and now all the sound is gone.
Does anyone know how to fix this? Or do I buy another pair and which?

Probably a cut connection somewhere. A solder/tape job'd fix it if you can find the problem area. won't be pretty.

I've had this same problem with countless pairs of headphones...it's pretty much a loose wire somewhere right before the male end of the plug...if you're determined enough, you can strip the insulation off, solder the wires back together, and be on your merry way, or just go buy another pair of headphones.
if you like the ones that came with the phone, check out skullcandy. they are what I buy. They are cheap enough that when they start messing up from excessive use (I'm a student...headphones on all day except while in class) I just go buy a new pair

Why keep spending money of headphones that will just break after a couple months to a year? Just get a decent pair (PortaPros come to mind) and keep truckin. Lurk on Head-Fi.org for a couple days/weeks. You'll discover you don't have to pay an arm and a leg for decent sound quality. You could pay more for better, but I think I'd have a hard time convincing someone to buy a $250 pair of headphones for portable use.
I've had my PortaPros for almost three years before they gave me any problems. Then I paid ~$8 to get them replaced under warranty. Believe me, I beat the hell out of those things. Cable wrapped around the set, tossed around in a booksack for days, in a car for days, etc. And still they keep the tunes coming.
In all fairness, they are a bit "dark" so if that's not your bag, then carry on. But 90% of the people that have heard mine thought they were great.
If you decide to go Skullcandy anyway, don't waste your money and just get the Ink'd. Every other pair of Skullcandies in ears I've heard were obviously more expensive, and were actually WORSE!

I've considered buying more expensive headphones.......but 250 is a little excessive...I was more in the range up to $70.....
I have considered Skullcandy, but you're right, cost for durability is definitely important.

What I need are good headphones that have the built in mic. Essentially I need a good hands-free setup.

NuForce NE7M or Klipsch S2m.
I know the S2m has an online mic and I think the ne7ms do as well.
I have yet to hear either but think you'd be happy with either though I think the Klipsch is a safer bet.
I don't use the phone part of my phone often enough to warrant getting a headset. :-D
All that said, I still suggest you go out and do.your own rezdearc. Music is something we all want to listen to differently. Characteristics I find appalling you may desire and vice versa.
For example I know that my 'pros are dark, but I absolutely love what they are.

All IEM/earbuds are inherently going to be more fragile. There are certainly more sturdy ones out there but they are of course more expensive. The ones packaged with any phone or MP3 player are super cheap (hence why they break so easily and their sound quality generally isn't that good).
A solid set of actual headphones can last much longer, however that's pretty bulky to always be carrying around for many people.
Anyway, it's impossible to make a recommendation without knowing your price range. We can throw out all kinds of brands and models all day that will be completely infeasible.
Head-Fi is a great resource as others above have mentioned but they tend to be for people looking far more for sound quality rather than price/durability.

I'm using shure isolation ones. E2 I think. Comfy. Treble is perfect. I think I want beat studios though cause,you know, they just sound AMMAZING.

Good ear buds with mic. for under $20

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!!

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.

[Q] Best wired earbud headset?

I have a Sony Bluetooth earbud headset that is of excellent quality, so I am set on that front. The thing is, it only has six hours of battery life (as most BT headsets do) and often run it down when I'm listening to podcasts and audiobooks while pulling doubles at work. I had the earbuds that came with my Captivate, but they were kind of junky and, honestly, I put them through the washing machine one too many times.
I went on Newegg.com thinking I'd have an easy time choosing the optimal wired earbud headset, but there's a whole universe of them out there, now, and the price has come down on them so much I can't even use that as a benchmarch of quality, anymore.
Does anybody have any good suggestions for a wired earbud headset that has good to excellent sound quality and works particularly well with Android pnones/Samsung Captivate. My price ranges is 50 dollars or less.
Thanks!

I really like the stock ones that came with the Captivate. As a backup I also use the buds from my earlier Sony Ericsson.
Sorry my post was of no help :]

I use a pair of V-Moda headphones w/ mic from the Apple store back when I had an iPhone. The cable is wrapped in a material infused with Kevlar
I'll try to find a link for you
EDIT: Didn't see your price range. Mine were $80, but they may have gone down some? Idk. I'll find it anyway

I've been looking for a good durable set as well. Looked on amazon, and it seems that many many people have problems with that headset breaking constantly.

Sigh. I am checking accessories because I discovered my right earbud stopped working about 15 minutes ago

Disclaimer: I'm not really after audio quality. They're earbuds, after all. I just need them to be indestructible or, failing that, cheap enough to be replaced a couple times a year.
The weak points in most earbuds I've owned are the junctions between the miniplug and the cable or the cable and the earbuds. In fact, the supplied Samsung earbuds are pretty decent, except that the miniplug-cable connection wasn't designed to take any stress at all. Sheared that right off in just a week of pulling the phone in and out of my pocket.
To that end, there have been two products I've been pretty happy with:
If you can find them around (eBay), the "Zune Premium Headphones" have outlasted anything else I've ever had. The cable is wrapped in plastic, so it transmits some noise when rubbing against your clothes, but they're incredibly durable. I only stopped using mine because I wanted something with a microphone button, not because they broke.
What I'm currently using are the JLab J3M earbuds. Got them from Amazon for $25 or so. Cable appears to be wrapped like the Zune earbuds and then coated in a clear, rubbery plastic, which has worked out so far. Only had them for about four months, but holding up well. The headset button works reasonably well with Android (I use DroidShuffle to control everything, and Cubed as the actual music player.)

A case of YMMV... I have a pair of V Moda Vibes that I've worn for over 3000 miles of road cycling over the past year. Not a bit of a problem.

I actually have a pair of the ZAGGsmartbuds (yes, the same ZAGG that makes Invisible Shield) that I received as a gift. They are very sturdy (the site has a cool video of a Boston Terrier trying to tear one apart - that alone would sell it for me ) and the volume and button controls work on the Captivate as well. The cord is actually coated with the same material as Invisible Shield.
Sound quality is quite good (compared to some V-Modas and some high end Sony earbuds I had from before) and it retails for a shade under $50 (but I think you can easily find it online for much cheaper).
http://www.zagg.com/audio/smart-buds.php

I've tried lots of different earbuds and I think the stock ones are one of the best under $50. they may not have the most bass but the complete sound range is great, nice and smooth/clear.

$25 Skull Candy set does right by me. Killer sound and I can talk while driving. Covers the basics. Did I mention they sound killer? The sound is great and they sound awesome too.

Best Wired Headphone on the Market!

That may be true, but they seem to have close to a 50/50 fail rate. Waaaay to high for me.

If you're going to buy skullcandy, don't get more than the inkd line. They arent great on the first place and it seems like the higher you go in the line up the worse they sound.
The ones I have have lasted for two or three years now.
They aren't the best thing ever SQ-wise, but they do isolate well enough, and that's important to me when riding to and from school/work.
Just my opinion.

I agree with this.

I use Sony's MDR-EX57LP/BLK. They are mostly noise canceling and I found mine at walmart for about $40. Great bass and ok highs.

Hippo Pearl if your after balanced and an all rounder. Got e'm for around $20. Best pair of earbuds I've had.
Swyped from my Froyo-ed Captivate.

ive got a set of meelectronics from newegg that have been awesome as far as sound goes, otherwise the mic has been questionable at best can't tell if its the rom or the headset itself. btw it was cheap as hell too 10 bucks or something.

I've had good luck with the skull candy full metal jackets but I think the ink'd sound slightly cleaner but the longest I have used them is two months before I catch them on something. If I don't need a mic I use Shure e2c's.

I've never had that problem. I run my wire through my shirt. Also helps to get rid of microphonics.
Im about to "upgrade" to a bluetooth set. Hopefully it will be on par with what im currently using. But im willing to sacrifice a little SQ for the peace of mind. I use an otterbox defender so the headphone jack is partially blocked off.
I just hope it isn't TOO bad because I really like my belt clip.

lol, beyond awful

I use a pair of Panasonic RP-HSC200K as my dedicated gym buds. They're the kind that wrap around your ear so they don't fall out and can resist my gross sweat. They're flexible and can take the abuse of throwing them into my gym bag with my shoes and gear (so far). I like that style because buds like the stock one and iPod ones I have kept popping out my ear when I jog/use the elliptical and get sweaty. They cost $60 and the sound is decent in my opinion. I wasn't looking for audiophile quality considering that I knew they would be abused and soaked in sweat, lol. I didn't want to get something that I would have to worry about.
The mic integration works fine and the button to pause/skip to next song, but the volume controls don't work with my Nexus. They do on iPhone and iPods.

I hear that. I carried these headphones over from when I used to have an iPhone 4 and yeah, it kind of sucks to lose that functionality.
Apparently it's difficult overall to find a pair where both volume up and down work on the in-line controls? Doesn't seem like a lot of models that are iPhone compatible work with Android as well. I dunno. I do have a pair of Skull Candy earbuds as well with mic and volume controls. I'll have to re-test it and see if it works.

If your willing to spend the $100 I HIGHLY recommend the Jaybird Freedom. They are very good. Sweat/water resistant, comfortable, bluetooth, and sound really great especially for blue tooth.
I've had mine for about 3 weeks now and I now use them more than my cans or Bose wired headset. They have nice all around sound and nice bass and I've honestly never heard blue tooth headset sound so good.
Only two drawbacks I've seen with them are the mic is a little choppy if your talking to someone (Focus on your workout, not talking ), and your going to need to wear an armband if your outside as the signal won't have walls to bounce off and will cut in and out if your phone is in your pocket.
Check them out:

Edit: These things are easily worth the $99 price tag on Amazon. Now that I've used them and broke them in, I'd gladly pay $200 for them.

Nothing sounds better than the Bose IE2's. You'll never regret getting these.

I appreciate everyone's input.
Unfortunately at the moment I can not spend more than I guess 50 to 60 dollars on a pair. A) cause I need to replace my windshield and B) This will be probably only to listen to music while I work out I rarely ever since myself in situations where I am listening to music while I am out and about unless I am driving I would have it plugged into my stereo.
Those Jaybirds looks so legit I wish I could get them. I think I am going to have to get the skull candy one. God I wish they didn't have the ****ty logo. Looks so high schoolish. Ugh I hate that. I probably look like so punk kid that has no respect for their elders lol.
Unless anyone else has any suggestions for something under 60 or 50. Sound quality would be nice I understand you get what you pay for.

Bluetooth headset recommendations?

Hey all, I'm in the market for a new bluetooth headset and I was hoping to get some input/suggestions from people. I have a jawbone icon, and I was looking at the blueant Q2. Thanks all.

I have tried many different headsets and the Q2 is absolutely my favorite one although they now have come out with the Q3 which I'm sure is even better. I just got an email from blueant to get the Q3 for $69.99 with a code. If you want it leave me your email and I'll forward it to you to use.

Thanks for the input, and for the discount code. I sent you a PM with my email
.

I read up on the q3, I think that's the one I'm going to buy.

Ive got the moto sliver elite, and love it. No one complains about anything when im on it. Its very discreet, and light. The case doubles as a portable charger that holds 2 full charges. The ear piece looks more like a hearing aid than a Bluetooth headset. And pairing couldnt be any easier as it uses NFC to pair. And with the my moto speak app it will read you your text if you want, incoming callers, and you can change the noise cancellation settings. I would rate it a 10 out of 10.

I looked at that one too. That's why I came here for reviews, there are a lot of good/bad reviews for the moto on amazon. I don't know those people, and I trust input from people here (even though I don't really know people here either, haha)

Well pick up the moto from a bestbuy near you and give it a test run, and if you dont like it keep your receipt and return it.

Huge +1 for the Q3, if the 2 is anything to go by. It was a wonderful piece of kit and I can't recommend it enough! I tried a few other models (my friend worked in a store that sold such devices, very handy!) and none seemed quite as polished, or there was always something not quite right about them.

You mean the Q3?

lol, sorry about that, typo. I have got S3s on the mind I guess Seriously, the Q2 was great, it sat in my ear perfectly and had great battery and sound. Wonderful device, I really miss mine but I just had to sell it (poor)

Yeah I think I'll order the Q3, they're out of stock at the moment though. I can pre order it so it ships in the beginning of March. Thanks!

Well, it's ordered. Thanks again SoCalScorpio, I used the code you gave me, total with shipping was $76. A little pricey, hopefully it's worth it. I'll come back after I test it out and leave a review. Thanks for everyone's input.

Wow, my q3 finally shipped today. I'll let you guys know how it works after I test it out a little.

LG Tone+
Battery life is amazing.

I just picked up the plantronics voyager legend and I must say it is awesome! Judging by the options you mentioned you might not like the form factor and that's same way I felt but after using it for a day I love it.

I also picked up a Plantronics Legend, very happy with the fit, sound is great, I often forget it's there.
Now only if I could get more functionality from the bluetooth!

I've never had very good luck with either of the plantronics headsets I have owned. My blueant q3 should be here in a few days though. I'm definitely excited to try it out.

Alright, I've had the q3 for a couple days now. Very comfortable, good volume, good noise cancellation. It's a very good headset. I would definitely recommend it.
