Bose In-Ear 2 headphones

Hello, yesterday i have bought galaxy s3 and I'm looking for better in-ear headphones. Any suggestions? what do you think about these ones? http://www.bose.com/controller?url=.../audio_headphones/in_ear_headphones/index.jsp
price could be till 180~ dollars

I have them and they are the best headphones I've ever had. They are so comfortable and stick it in your ear so well. The sound quality is very good as well. I will put it this way, when mine decide to go out on me I will buy another pair!

thank you for your answer, i like their design and heard that quality is really good.

I wasnt sure about them because i have always had a real in ear headphone. My brother got them for xmas and i snuffed at them. I tried them on and gave them a listen. I went out an hour later on xmas and bought them.

btw after listening with them for a long time, you dont feel any pains in your ears?
p.s. atm cant give "thanks" 8 limit suxs

I am involved in competitive cycling and use these for my ride also. Even after a 6 or 7 hour bike ride I can't even tell that I have had earphones in my ear. Just be sure to try the different size gel pieces. I believe they come with size medium on them so when I first tried them it wasn't a great fit. I put on the large and it fit like it was made for my ear.

I've tried headphones a fifth of the price that have 90% of the sound quality so I wouldn't burn my money on having a designer label, and anyway the S3 sound quality really isn't that good compared to even some other phones I tried.

The sound quality of yhe earphonea are great. I dont think anyone is expecting a studio surround sound out of the phone. Its bot just about the sound quality. Its so nice to have an in ear earphone that you dont have to worry abiut falking out or being pulled out of the ear. Its worth it if you can.

Shure makes headphones with replaceable cords. Mine take a beating since I wear them at least twice a day on my motorcycle under my helmet and they are still performing great.

Klipsch makes possibly the best in ear headphones out there...

They dont stay in the ear like bose earphones though. sound quality may be better, but I from experience can tell you that the bose is more comfortable, stays in the ear until you dont want them to be there anymore and the cables are damn near tangle proof.

Have a look at this comparison thread. It's the most comprehensive unbiased test I've found on the Internet

At $100 the Shure SE215 scored as well or better than many sets that cost 3x more.
If you are going to invest in a quality set, make sure they have replaceable cables since that is the most likely point of failure over time.

I've got a set of the Gen1 in-ear that I've had for years and love them. I recently added a set of the Gen2 inserts (you can swap them out on the holder style) and they are even better! They stay put when running/riding/lifting and you don't even realize you have them in. Definitely worth it.

Bose is not as good as everyone thinks they are. Who told you that Bose makes quality products? Heard it from a family member? A post on the Internet? Just google Bose quality or similar topics. My $5 pair of in-ear phones from Big Lots sound and feel good.

huh??

Bose are good but nowhere near as good as the price you paying for them, because Bose is like a designer label and a lot of people pay more because of who they are not what they do.

You are intitled to your opinion, but I highly disagree. I have had several pair of $20-$40 earbuds. Several because they were only good for a minimal time frame. made a step up to $60-$100 sets and there was a considerable difference in quality. 3 pair of $100 sets and lastly bought my bose IE2 and they are by FAR the best set I have had, sound quality and comfort.
but like i said, you are totally entitled to think what you want. each person has different experiences when comparing products.

Anyone interested in Beats come here....

Well as everyone knows Beats are ridiculously overpriced, the sound they provide is nowhere near the price they charge, yes they do look nice but just way too expensive. So I shopped around and found what are essentially beats without the same price tag (RRP they are but sell for much cheaper on ebay), the headphones I refer to are the Monster Purity HD's. As everyone knows Monster makes Beats, the Purity HD's are essentially Solo HD's with a rectangular ear cup, slightly less bass and clearer sound. Same headband and everything, really nice looking cans, got them today after winning them on ebay for £38 brand new and sealed.
I think the reason for how cheap they sell is they have been made in conjunction with Nokia for WP7 phones so uninformed people dont realise they are made by the same company as beats and think they are Nokia headphones, good news is also the cable with the ControlTalk controls works right out of the box with the S3, that means answer/end calls, play/pause music, turn volume up/down using the controller without ever touching your phone. Awesome. Anyway thought it might be of use to people who like the look of beats but not the pricetag they come with. Enjoy.

Thanks for the heads up. I've started shopping around as well and couldn't justify dropping the $$$ on Bose or those Beats headphones. I'll take a look at these.

Or you could just buy a pair of Audiotechnica's and get the best sound quality for the price...

I think he's referring to the ATH-M50 model. They're definitely a nice pair and if you read around, a lot of people recommend them. The prices vary across the Internet so it's good to look around. I got a new pair last year for $125

Zagg had a sweet deal. Buy over $20 and get the smartbuds for only $10. The buds alone are normally $50! Its great deal if you need a screen protector or another accessory and headphones.
Its worth checking out. I got mine in yesterday. They sounds pretty good.

best earbuds for galaxy s3

so i hear this question all the time, for every phone. i personally use $15 sony earbuds, but if you are looking for the best and dont mind spending money....
The Most Intense Ear Buds Sennheiser Has Ever Made will run you about $1000 according to reviews, but i haven't found anywhere to buy them...
If you are trying to save money, the IE80's will run you under $400
but seriously, i think they have some for under $20 also =)

Well I must say that ie80's working great together with sgs3...
thg

i use it with an Ultimate Ears Super.fi 5 Pro for outside, and with a Sennhaiser HD 595 in home... and I really enjoy both :silly:
missing the voodoo sound app only...

http://www.head-fi.org/products/category/in-ear

Picked up the Monster Turbine Gold's for $140 on sale at Amazon a while back... love em!

Audio is extremely subjective. Not everyone has the same hearing, the same sound signature preferences or even budget for that matter. Headfi is a good place to get started, but in order to appreciate the sound of the headphones, words are not nearly enough You'll have to give them a listen yourself.

I own 3 headphones I use with my S3.
1st. Samsung Infuse Earphones that came with that phone when I got it back in March. Works good for me honestly.
2nd. Motorola S9-HD 1stGen. Bluetooth. Yeah they actually still work even with all my sweat in them. Sounds good but can't get good bass cause I lost my large ear cushions for them.
3rd. My Motorola S805? I believe that came with my Giro snowboarding helmet 3 years ago. Those things are also still kicking!!!
Yeah I take care of my stuff. Honestly though, clear sound is important, but holy flippin' crap I'm not spending $400 for music listening!!!

I find my s3 oem is good enough for daily use . I also have klipsch x10 which is amazing for its size the only thing bad about the klipsch is the built quality other than that the sound is superb !

I too think the Earbuds that come with the phone is good enough. Used with PowerAmp, I get good bass and treble out of the hip hop/Spanish music I listen to

I have two different pairs that I use for my gs3. For my everyday buds I use the klipsch s4a which has the in line mic and controls. Then I have my Shure SE-535's which I used to use on stage as IEM. I love them I also have an older pair of Shure SCL-4's laying around somewhere.

Waiting for some money, then I'm getting Jays a-Jays One+. Had the ordinary One until it died, superb sound and phenomenal bass. Courtesy of my SGS and Voodoo Sound

I have some Logitech UE 300vm's that I just picked up and they are the finest pair of relatively inexpensive ear buds I have ever owned. Sound quality is amazing with structural quality to match. I have had plenty of high dollar earbuds that we no where near this nice. Highly recommend checking these out if you have a quick $60 laying around they do not disappoint. :thumbup:

IE800 are much, much better:
http://en-de.sennheiser.com/ie-800
They can be fitted with a cable that works 100% with Samsung Galaxy S series phones.
I have used Audeo Phonak PFE 022 and cannot recommend them: the mic is really not very good and the sound quality left me wanting compared to even Sennheiser's low end line, like mm70i.
There really aren't very many good mic-headsets that work with Galaxy S III without any additional adapter cables and w/ full inline remote controls.

I use my beats from my rezound.

Are you using any kind Portable Amplifier with your IE80?

Loving my Rock-It R50's, but it really depends what kind of music you listen to.
check out http://www.head-fi.org

Currently, Shure SE315 's. Next week I'll have VSonic GR07. However for the high-end IEM's mentioned here. What's your complete setup? Please.
SE315, Paid version of Equalizer
(fx music off) and most importantly is my fiio E6 Portable Amplifier (best $25 I've ever spent)
The IE80's, Shure 535's mentioned, please what kind of setup?
I was about to purchase the Westone 4r but the VSonic GR07 are too highly rated at half the price with the FiiO E11, It will be the music I've ever heard. But these new small portable Amplifier give us the power needed.

I have a pair of these and they sound fantastic for the price. However for my ears the fit with any of the included tips is terribly uncomfortable and fall out pretty easily, but I've also never found any in-ear earbuds that actually feel comfortable and stay in anyway so take that for what it's worth. Also I can hear the wires bouncing around pretty badly as I walk.

http://www.head-fi.org/t/478568/mul...s-compared-rock-it-sounds-r-50-added-11-29-12
Amazon had a Cyber Monday sale on the Klipsh Image X10. At about $85 I think they where a great deal. Keep an eye out for the UE TripleFi 10 to possible go on sale between now and Christmas, they are sometimes at around $100 (or less) around Christmas.
Meelectronics are a good bang for the buck company across their various offerings. I have their M6 model I use when running.

At that price those might just be perfect for dedicated gym headphones! Thanks for the link!

I may have the unpopular opinion, but I have to give my good graces and kudos to the new Apple earpods. I have had the old earbuds and now the new pods. The difference is extraordinary. I am hearing clear differences between the two. I don't ever use stock music players with my phones, even though I've found the stock music players in both the Note I and II, are really great. I use third party music players because there's usually much more customization. With the player I use and their enhanced bass settings, plus the new Apple earpods, I am hearing extreme bass and really clear sound in all of my music... sounds I don't recall hearing with the old Apple earbuds.
Also, unlike with the Note I and/or the old Apple earbuds, the new earpods actually work with the Note II as a functioning headset! Found it out by sheer accident. They have never worked with any other Android phone, so I never tried. A friend called me while I was listening to music, and I answered the call before I attempted to disconnect the earpods. That's when I heard my friend talking through the headphones. I said, "Hello" and he heard me... loud and clear according to him. I was super excited! So for only $29.99, you may wanna try these. If you can get em from Best Buy, you can try them out and if you don't like them, you can return them within the window of returns for a full refund. You can't beat the price, especially if you end up liking them.

I love these threads
I want the BEST earphones, i don't care what they are, I want the BEST....as long as its under $50
The BEST in my opinion? Westone 4R. Aural bliss

Best headphones money can buy
For around 90 bucks, you can pick up a pair of sure se215's. Just look around you can get them on the cheap, and you will be hard pressed to find a better pair of headphones in this price range. They sound better than the Klipsch s4's but are a little more pricey, and they have a very nice fit.

I love the sound of the Ultimate Ears Triple.Fi buds. I've tried a bunch, and they are the best I've heard. But, if you're going to be rough on them, expect to buy a new cable every 6 months or so.
Lately, for just walking around and listening to podcasts, I've been using the Plantronics BackbeatGO (they were on sale at BestBuy for $80, you can get them at Amazon for $75 now). Only 4.5 hours of battery at a time, but if that's long enough for you, they are incredibly comfortable and not bad sounding.

Best earphones

post here your opinions and experiences about the best earphones on the market

I dunno, it kind of depends on best for what. Cans vs buds, what kind of sound you personally like, what price-range we're talking about, et cetera.
Headphones can go upward of $1000 - this is a situation where most people don't want THE BEST, but the best their budget can afford - but there are many options and in plenty of things it's a matter of taste.

Heir audios:

i have the 8.A, best experience of all IEM so far
I used to use some Ultimate Ears Triple.Fi 10 Pro with a silver cable, they were awesome too, and you can grab them new from ebay for about 170$ (with crappy standard cable, but that should be enough for most ppl)

For me, the best value are the AKG K-315 earphones... at least for listening to music in more or less quiet places, because if it is very noisy In-Ear-Phones are better. (I have to say I bought them for €15, they seem to be cheaper here in Europe than in the US)
I just love them, they sound natural, no over-amplification of anything, no need to play around with Equalizers and stuff, plus they are very comfortable to wear, the left earbud has a little bump so I don't need to look at them to know which one is the left/right... and I don't have to reach to the mp3-Player/Phone to change the volume, as they have a little slider on the cord.
But they are just phones, so no headset function, but as I listen to my music on my dedicated mp3 Player most of the time, that's not an issue for me.
Sorry if this sounded like an advertisment, but they are just that good IMHO.

i've never had a problem with skull candy

I got the Plantronics BackBeat GO (BT), good build lightweigt. but its a little to quiet... overall good earbuds

for me personally its my sennheiser mx370 as i dont like in ears and they hold up really well,
all my previous earphones did get busted in 1 or 2 years but they live since 4 years

i use Creative EP 630 .
i dont like inEars so much, but i need some inEars for my GalaxyAce.
buy it from amazon for 11€ some years ago, and they're really nice and the price is good too.:good:

Sennheiser , Skullcandy and beats.

Sony..
I have a pair of Sony MDR-NC7 headphones that I have beat the hell out of. I'm one to accidentally pull the cord quite aggressively and there is no retraction of the insulation and very minimal ware. I accually ended up sitting on them and snapping the headband so I decided to give melting the pastic with a touch a try and it worked and this happened about 2 or so years ago so I would definitely recommend this brand for reliability.

DON'T buy that WESC-****!
I bought them for my sister for her birthday. after 6 months it broke....
But in my opinion the 50€-WESC had the same sound quality like the Beats Mixr, which is far more expensive.

I use Beats by Dr.Dre also heard this Skullcandy which is availble at virgin megastores in my country

I was always a big fan if KOSS. I am using Sporta Pro. I think they are good buy for portable size and quality.

how about the Apple ones ? I had them for a while but haven't been really satisfied from the quality. I'm thinking about ~$25-40 price range. with mic.

HAHAHAHA!! Truth. I love skullcandy headphones! Lifetime warranty is amazing! It doesn't even matter if you broke them or they were defective, you just send them in and they send you new ones! FMJs are my favourite nice bass that isn't over-powering!

I use cheap skullcandy's.

I use some hideously orange ones I found at Kmart. They're crap, just like Beats by Dre, but at least they are cost appropriate.
