Best earbuds with mic?

What are the some of the best earbuds with mic,answer call,volume control, and possibly even track skip controls on the market today?
I'm looking for ones that are comfortable and have quality sound for listening to lots of hip hop,electronic and dubstep types of music.

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

I'm loving my MEElectronics M9P, 'specially since I got 'em for like $22 during a special (and in black, which seems to be out of stock everywhere now)... They're usually around $30-ish and they compare very favorably to many $50 IEMs w/mic like the NuForce NE-7M and the Maximo iP-HS5. There's a million threads about this kinda stuff over at HeadFi.org, but there seems to be a strong consensus on the MEElec M9P being one of the better values out there. The Apple ADDIEM (dual driver IEM) are pretty decent too if you can find 'em on Ebay for under $30 and you don't mind the look.
For reference, I had a pair of Sennheiser CX300 IEMs and JVC HA-FX34 before these MEElec and they easily overshadow either of those. All of the ones I've mentioned are IEMs (which go deeper in the ear and isolate more than regular earbuds). I'm not sure if that's what you were after or you wanted straight up earbuds, hope it helps either way.

I've been pretty happy with a set of "Ultimate Ears SuperFi 5vi" earphones I picked up when I got the EVO. Decent bass for a single-driver earphone, though I recommend using the Comply tips (2 pairs are included) instead of the standard silicone ones. Some cable noise, but that's pretty much eliminated if you wear them over the ear. The mic is located on the right earphone lead and placed close to the mouth. The single pause/play button (lower, on the central lead) will start and stop the music player in Android (even when the app is backgrounded, which is nice, though I guess all headphones probably do this). It also hangs up a voice call. The price for these dropped a lot recently, you should be able to find it at online vendors selling for less than a hundred bucks.

Yeah, that's the same way the button on my MEElectronics M9P works (or even the play button on the remote of my Kensington LiquidAUX Bluetooth car kit). Cord noise is one thing that shocked me about the M9P, there's absolutely none, they've got an amazing cord. I think it's double wrapped or something (you can see a black cord inside the translucent outer layer)... They're an amazing bang for the buck, even at $30+.

HTC EVO 4G Stereo Headset w/ Remote Controller
You could buy HTC EVO OEM headset with remote controller either from HTC site or from ebay. I ordered one from ebay from one US seller for $15 shipped. Search for HTC EVO 4G 9292 Stereo Headset w/ Remote Controller.
They are stocked on HTC site for 29.99 + shipping. It appears that the mic has noise cancellation. You can use remote controller to fw, rw, pause, etc.

I'm very happy with my Klipsch S4i. Sound quality is excellent, I've been told the mic sounds as good if not better than the phone mic and they are the most comfortable in ear type buds I've ever worn. I also have a pair of Shure E3c and I'd say the sound quality is pretty much equal.

I second the Klipsch. Hands down the best set of buds I have ever owned. Amazing sound and way cheaper than other earbuds of comparable sound quality

I have the Klipsch S4, I love them and was thinking about getting the S4i but was concerned about the controls on them. The controls are Apple specific, do they work with the EVO?

Using an apple earphone I bought with my rs giftcard. Works fine, but no volume controls implemented with android at the moment. Clear talk with mic and decent quality with the ear phones.

Im thinking of buying the dr dre beats studios or earbuds still debating...what do you guys think?

I am planning on getting the MEElectronics M11p+ in the near future. Great price and a growing fan base... MEE is reviewed quite well on headphone forums. Currently using Shure E3Cs but they see a lot of abuse, and no mic. And stay FAR away from the Shure mic adapter, it worked for 1 day. I should have paid attention to the reviews. Crap!

I have the JBuds J3M, $29.95 at Amazon.com, works great with aluminum housing.

The middle (phone on/off) button works fine, which would be a deal breaker if it didn't. Unfortunately the up and down (volume) don't. Not a big deal since volume adjustment isn't something I do all the time and it's not a big deal to just use the phone adjustment.

i just bought Klipsch Image S2M in ear headphones with mic. i was gonna post about it for everyone to buy but theyre sold out
bought it for 29.99 and 10 bucks shipping 2 day air from tigerdirect.com. cant wait to get it

I have both the Studios and the Tours with ControlTalk and they both work great on the EVO I use the Tours more with the EVO because they are alot more portable the the Studios I would highly recommend them. Also there customer service is amazing I accidentally broke my Tours and it was totally my fault and they replaced them free of charge and even payed for shipping both ways.

So yours are working? I got mine today and cannot get the mic to work with my EVO running CM or the Hero. How else can I test to see if I got a defective unit?

For anyone else who might be looking for 'em - the MEElectronics M9P are on Buy.com for 24.99 for the black or 22.99 for silver...
Here's the link to the black ones: http://www.buy.com/prod/meelectroni...e/q/listingid/85310657/loc/111/215627771.html

From my experience, the mic and remote on this set does not work with the EVO, at least on Cyanogen mods 2.2 alpha release.
Any suggestions on how I can try to get this function working?
It says here that it should work for the Nexus one

Beats Tour by Dr. Dre

Why wasting so much money for beats.

Errm, better quality on the real product... You can argue all you want that they sound almost or even the same but they don't.
OP, you're better of choosing Sennheiser, V-Moda even Bose if you are an audiophile. Unless you like overbearing base then choose the Beats but you can do better for your buck. Either way, their all good brands, just make sure you get the real deal.

Yep, I'm using them! what do you want to know? I'm guessing you may be asking about the remote control function, I can categorically say that it does not work on the Note, only thr one centre button, volume buttons have no function. I have searched for ways to make it work and it is not possible. Other than that, whatever you need to know, ask!

I've got the studios with the remote and the pause works but that's about it...

Honestly, beats are the worse kind of headset anyone could get. You could easily get a better quality stuff at 1/10th of the price.

Not a fan of Beats Tours (or Studios, Solos, the HD versions etc). I used my mate's Tours and they sound, well, crap. I've used them on iPods (another awfully overrated range of products), a Zune 120/Zune HD, a range of Android devices (the Note, Vega tablet, Desire HD, SGSII etc.) and they ALWAYS sound the same: overbloated bass, and not a lot else.
If you wanna spend a fair amount of money on IEM (in ear monitors) then for the money you can't get any better than Panasonic HJE900's, in my opinion. I use them, and I use them with PowerAmp and i've made myself a custom preset using the 10 band EQ and through the Note (even with it's mediocre sound chip) they sound great!

Troll thread success! lol yeah I heard the quality on them isn't that great, and people tend to invest their money into fake beats lol. oh materialism... haha

I am yet to see a single opinion or review of Beats that has anything good to say about the sound quality. All I've seen so far say that you can easily get better stuff for less money.

Yeah I agree. but to get the best sound one has to spend $200-$300.
Skull Candy and "Beats" are faddish. Monster has always been overpriced and over ratted.
There are REAL earbuds out there by Westone, Etymotic, and Shure.
I use ETY-4 and On my bike the Westone 3s Neither has phone controls. When I need to be "online" I just use the stock phones. The "louder" app by Supper Curio is great but nothing compares to what he did with the Samsung Vibrant/Captivate when they used the Wolfson chip. Definitely worthy of the higher priced earbuds.

It seems like everyone is just awesome loooooooool... Im not trolling and agree strongly with many of your arguments especially about monsters cable products... But I purchased a set of genuine solo hd for 200 off rrp here in Australia and they are fantastic... I don't use too bass heavy eq settings as yes the headphones are bass heavy but they were collaborated with a hip hop artist (however much actual input can always be debated) and the rest of the ranges are quite good... Remember the file type your are listening too as well.. The powered isolation is good but deep burble is not always removed but a good deal of voice and external noises are nicely isolated... I know many with disagree with me n that is fine I'm not here to convert anyone but for a couple hundred dollars my last pairs of headphones have been utter crap and these from a variety of brands with and without mics and in ear or not and for a little bit extra I have noticed significant gains yes u can spend 500 on very good earphones I payed just more than half that and they are not bad

Look at the target audience beats are marketed to. This market is not going to read internet reviews or do research on which headphone is higher quality or more bang for your buck. They are just going to blindly buy Dr. Dre's headphones because of Dr. Dre's name on them. Why do you think his headphones sell at all?

Aaaa, now everything's clear. There must have been a mixup between Headphones Design Department and Anal Beads Design Department. No wonder they sound like crap....

I actually did my research and it did come down to personal choice. I tried other headphones at the store, alot of them actually, and I felt the quality was more than decent and a fair improvement on my Sennheiser CX980s which cost me £180 and were a tragedy. The point I will make is "haters gonna hate". Make your assumptions about the people who buy these, I am not a marketing victim, I tried the products within my price range and came to a decision based on their performance. I listen to rock, and the definition this headset produced is better than most. They are bass heavy, but there is such a thing as an equalizer which allows you to tune your sound and the sound I'm getting is awesome.
I also keep hearing "there are better products out there for the money" but most audiophile *****es come back with headsets like mr Onassis's comment further up with his $1000 headset. Seriously? If they literally don't make you come I can't understand how you can spend that amount of money. You'll say that it matters, but at the end of the day if it really did the standard of that brand would be the only one.
It's popular to hate the beats, but how about you stop being a bunch of douchebags with your dicks out and a ruler? You aren't measured by your headphones.

Chosing good and cheap headphones

Hello, I would like to ask for help in chosing a good headphones for my S3. What I am searching for headphones with good bass ( I listen to lots of Drum & Bass and Dubstep). So after searching I found these 3 headphones MEElectronics M9P , JVC Xtreme Xplosives Headphones, JVC HAFX1X Xtreme Xplosives In Ear Canal Headphones .
So my question is this, are these headphones compatible with the S3 ? And also on this price range to 25 pounds max, is there any better headphones ?
Also I've read about Noisehush NX80, but people say they are not so good. What are your opinions on this one too.

Look at some posted reviews at http://www.head-fi.org/
I personally use Sennheiser MX 580s.

There are decent cheap ones from monoprice..

Thanks, but the problem with the Monoprice ones, there isn't delivery to Bulgaria or Cyprus so basicly I can't go with those Any other suggestions ?

Bottom line is you can't get actually good headphones for under $75. I'm not sure what that is in pounds. Shure makes excellent in ear headphones. Also if you could fine cheaper beyerdynamics. Sony also makes some real cheap in ear headphones. They're the only ones around $30 that I've listened to that are at least decent. I've been through many headphones as I'm a musician..... I can tell you most headphones are gimmicks under 100. If you want good headphones that will last then invest in it, better than buying cheap pairs with **** sound that you have to replace every 6 month's because they break so easily.

JVC Marshmellows
http://www.google.com/search?q=jvc+...sugexp=chrome,mod=17&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8
seriously im am a big audiophile. dont get me wrong they wont sound as good as some of the nice $100 sets but these lil suckers amaze me for the price. i listen to a lot of electronic stuff (D&B, Jungle, 90s Techno, Electro, Dubstep) and these get the job done. i bought a few pairs cuz after listening to them i was so amazed i need a few more just in case the got discontinued or somthing. for the price it was a non issue if i never opened up the other sets. about 2.5yrs later the one left side bud started to pop ever so slightly near max vol at like 80-120hz so i retired them and opened the 2nd pack.
these things are great for doing stuff around other loud things like mowing the lawn etc. because the bud is made from the same material that real ear plugs are made from. so you will notice that you wont have to turn your volume up so much as compaired with other earbuds because less noise escapes the ear canal and more SPL is focused on you eardrum.

List for Samsung htc sony (not sony erricson) and Nokia lumia headset and headphones that work all three buttons & mic
- urbeats
- htc beats solo
- Sony smart headset
- Nocs NS200H-001
-Nokia purity

Phillips O'Neill, I bought a pair for my wife, 25 bucks, they have a wrap on the cord that really keeps them from tangling. She is really hard on ear buds and these have lasted along time, she has washed them twice and still sounds as nothing has happened.
Personally I think they are great sounding, and prob the best I've heard under 75 bucks.
The only downfall with them is with volume down real low you can hear sound resonate through the sleeve wrap on the cord, almost like a stethoscope. But it's only real low volume and that's where the problem ends for me as I almost always have the volume up.

You should give the ibeats a try. Those are easily the best pair of headphones I've ever owned

MEElectronics actually makes some amazing headphones for the price.
Their CC51/CC51Ps are probably their best sounding and most balanced headphones. Far better then their A151 Armatures even. Id even take them over my Etys, but I don't think they make them anymore :'( . Their M9s are nice entry level cans. Their not bad, but nothing special either. I'd might go sofar as to grab a cheapo set of JVC Marshmallows over the M9s inless you can get a deal on them personally.
I would suggest you sign up for their email list. They are constantly having specials and discounts. Picked up a pair of SP51Ps for $25 a couple months back. Normally go for $70. They sound amazing with the med base ports while not sacrificing much in the highs. They are on the heavier side tho and hard to get a good seal/fit with the supplied earbuds unfortunately.
This is their current special.

just wanted to mention that the headphones ghostyroasty posted from monoprice easily gets 2 thumbs up from me. Those babies may not be the prettiest cans around, but boy do they sing and their dirt cheap. They're a diamond in the rough

Thanks to everyone. I think I will go with 1 pair of Marshmallows and 1 pair of Monoprice or instead of the JVC I might get the M9s. And in the future i will consider the iBeats But that will be around christmas

If you do decide to get the M9s use the coupon code i posted above. Buy one M Series model get another M Series model (same exact model or different model) free
Don't forget to use the free shipping code.
ohh... expires tomorrow tho.

Thanks but I think I won't be able to use the code because i need to get my payment first so this will happen after 15th August -_-'

I know this is long over due but the noisehush head phones are pretty good I've had them for 8 months now aNd they are still kicking and I love the sound quality

Which ones are they?

Check audiobudget dot com
TBH best iems for the price are KZ ZS5 - 22$ (they got replaceable cabling and optional BT for 5$ check Google for their reviews) I bought all kz's and few other recommend by audiobudget rock zirocns are nice and sub 20$ generally western iems are extremely overpriced one You buy a chi-fi iems.
My advice get yourself a decent dac like smsl idol or Sabaj da2 to improve overall sound experience
I would risk saying that ZS5 are comparable with my Sennheiser momentums on ear quality wise with a bit spacier soundstage. P.s. momentums are 150$.

hey y'all I need help. when I plug in my headset to my s3 it cuts off my sound unless I restart it. after I flashed my phone with Octos the Os works fine but the headset is the only problem I have. any help.

I'd go for Sennheiser, they have all kind of price levels and even the CX300 sound good.

I really like these. I haven't used the stock s3 ones so I cant compare.. I've used a few other IEM's in the past, nothing really expensive. They also used to be double the price 2 years ago..

i have a bunch of reviews coming in the next few months but I found a real GEM this past week. so much so I bought 4 pairs for myself and some for family for christmas.
I actually bought them on a lark because they were burn your eyeballs nuclear neon orange in color but when I put them on I was truly "shocked" at the quality and depth of the sound especially considering the $10 price tag !!!
You can get them at Big Lots and FYE. they are Polaroid OEM and I have found them in burn your eyes neon orange pink and green as well as bright purple blue black and white.
they are on ear cup style. I would kill for some surround ear cup versions of these but they are surprisingly comfy as well. These are now my "goto" general use headphones. they are just that good and pretty darned nice too. Great build for $10 great sound. NICE fabric sheethed wire and a nice skinny but reinforced jack. very impressive.
trust me. for $10 its worth the gamble to just go out and find out for yourself.
Big lots also has a $20 bluetooth speaker. not "Bad" not great not too much volume without some cracking but hard to beat for $20. DO NOT buy at FYE they have the EXACT same thing but OEM'd memorex for $60. NOT worth $60 but well worth $20 for something to play with at big lots

These sub-$10 IEMs from monoprice are a KILLER value.
Enhanced Bass Hi-Fi Noise Isolating Earphones
Don't take my word for it...
The Monoprice 8320 (MEP-933)..The $7.11 club..

I am NOT an IEM fan. they tend to be painful to me (physically) I prefer full size headphones and can tolerate some on ear phones (like the polaroid's but only for so long)
I tend to only be able to tolerate IEM's for any length of time by using the smallest ear plug so they are a "loose" fit but that usually destroys the bass.
but for $9 with that kind of following. WTH I will find out in a few days

I love this guide: http://www.head-fi.org/products/category/headphones

i have Klipsch buds and love them!! would def purchase again

You shouldn't pay more than $30 for great earbuds
I've been selling earbuds for years now and I know pretty much all there is to know about them. It's the one product that people tend to buy over and over again because they lost or broke their old ones. People also tend to over spend and buy ones that are flashy like the Beats brands, even though they aren't as good as cheaper ones. You shouldn't spend more than $30 for a good set. Make sure the frequency range is at least between 12 and 22,000 hertz. Make sure the cord is 4 feet long. Make sure they are comfortable and at the same time wont fall out easily. A single driver setup will sound good, yes they sound a little better with a multi driver setup but it's not worth the extra $100. Frugal5.com does a good job explaining this, they list the best 5 for the money to be:
#1 Sony MDREX10LP/BLU In-Ear - $12
#2 JVC HAFX1X Xtreme-Xplosivs - $17
#3 JVC HAFX40B Carbon Nanotube Coated - $18
#4 Panasonic RP-HJE350-K SLIMZ - $20
#5 Philips SHE6000/28 In-Ear Surround Sound - $22

The headphones thread

This isn't good for accessory sub-forum since it was AT&T that specifically screwed us out of headphones. Use this thread to discuss what headphones you are using with your note 2.
Today i picked up these bose ITE headphones at best buy to give a try:
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Bose&#1...lver/1246325.p?id=1218241024821&skuId=1246325
I thought bose quality + mic to make calls with.. can't go wrong.
However I am finding myself disappointed with the bass in these headphones (I like to hear bass haha). For movies and video, the headphones excel, as well as call quality. However when listenign to music, i feel like i'm missing a lot of sound. Since they cost a pretty penny @ $129, I'm probably going to return them and start looking again. I may elect to go with some over the ear headphones on amazon.com since theyre all under $20

I exchanged my s3 for a note 2. I really liked the headphones that were with my s3. I was dissapointed when I realized there were no headphones in the box. Im just using iphone headphones with a mic.

I'm using these http://av.jvc.com/product.jsp?modelId=MODL028672&pathId=162&page=1
Great headphones, and so far, works wonderful with my Note 2. OKAY bass, great mids and Highs

For everyday use, I have Bose IE2 which i paid 40 bucks for new. Then for sitting and watching a movie or whatever on my phone, I have a set of Beats Audio Solo HDs...which I bought for 40 bucks also, but were slightly used. To me there are more headphones out there that sound better than the Bose for the price. Klipsch headphones are awesome and are the same price. As for the beats...well if you like bass then they are for you. They sound ok but are WAY over priced.

The general consensus of the Audio community is that Bose is a more marketing then high end audio. Their stuff isn't terrible but not worth the price. You can get much better for less money.
Try:
Meelectronics (various from $20 - $100) - real bag for the buck. The M6 under $20 (M6P with mic under $40) has good bass and is a fraction the price of Bose.
High end headphones makers:
Klipsch
Sennheiser
Shure
Denon
Etymotics

Thanks for the recommendation, Meelectronics is way more affordable than the other options people have listed. Just a quick question since im a headphone noob, do you know how the M31P compares to the M6P, they are both around the same price on amazon. Not exactly sure if one out performs the other.

Big Klipsch guy here. I love the S4i and IMAGE ONE phones the most. Also have a set of SE530s, ER-4Ps, and HD555s. Worst case, I also have three sets of iPhone earphones to use. Didn't care one bit that the phone didn't come with any.

I'm using the Samsung supplied, they're okay. I like the volume controls .

I picked up a pair of Samsung supplied from- http://www.ebay.com/itm/SAMSUNG-GAL.../300785879001?ssPageName=ADME:L:eek:U:US:3160
Price was a dollar cheaper when I purchased

Never used the M31P, but from what I read it seems the P31 may have a bit more bass. Also they way they are designed to fit into you ears is different. The M6 is a true in-ear and over ear cable design, they fit into into you ear canal and the wires are meant to go over the top of you ear. This is a little odd if you not used to it but they don't fall out. The M31P is a bit more conventional design and may not stay in as well depending on your activity. From the chart on the Amazon page it looks like the M31 may have a bit more bass also.
Personally I like the M6P (I have the M6 without the mic) design because they stay put when I'm jogging.

I have a set of m6, m9p, and m11p's. The m6 is heavier towards the bass that the rest of them but they all give out pretty good low end. I find they are the best bang for the buck and have excellent customer service.

I had some Klipsch S4's but I just get them to fit my ears comfortably.
I do have the Shure SE530, witch I love but the rubber where the wires go into the housing is falling apart. One day I plan to get them rewired and have the drivers inserted into a custom enclosure. The SE530 are FANTASTIC, but I would like just a bit more bass (quantity) at times.
Also have the Denon AH-C650R which sound good but the mic is only ok.

That is probably AT&T auctioning the headphones off that they removed from all of our boxes. Lolol

Ya I was disappointed when I seen it didn't come with headphones, so I ordered 2pairs from amazon for 4 dollars apiece. I did notice that the volume is lower than the iphone 4 but owell its not that bad for my first Android device. Is there anyway to boost the volume for yhe headphones on this phone?

The ear buds I use are Sony's wired noise isolation MDR XB40 EX...I've had them since I got my Captivate..
They have 13 mm woofers in them..they are perfectly clear..have crushing bass..and provide exceptional highs.. and a nice selection of replaceable ear sizes on them...They aren't making them anymore...but they can still be found for under $50 at a number of places..I had a pair of Sennheiser CX 880i that cost a lot more..and didn't provide as good of bass response for the various music & movies I watch...My listen taste is varied...from opera to hard rock...everything except rap & Blue Grass...
For the money...if you don't need a microphone and can used a wired set of buds...try to find a set of the Sony's...you won't be disappointed..
