beats by dre w/ cappy

has ne one with a cappy tried the beats by dre studios with this phone... got a pair for christmas so don't know if i should return and buy another set

I'm a pretty big audiophile and to be honest, they sound good/decent but they are WAY over priced in my opinion. Bose are they same way, they do sound good but there are less expensive options that sound as good or better.

one set, hell you could get a few sets

If you're interested in headphones... you really need to check out Head-Fi.

Bose, Bose = Buy Other Sound Equipment at headfi forums .....

I actually have a pair of the in-ear diddy beats (not sure wtf diddy had to do w/ them...but their pink which I like ) and I think they sound great! I get my hair done weekly and they are amazing when I'm sitting under the hairdryer. I mostly watch TV shows or movies with them and when I use that 5.1 audio option I can hear everything... The price is crazy ridiculous but the sound is pretty damned good. I can't imagine how the over the ear ones sound.
I say if they were a gift for christmas, keep them.. but that's me and I'm all about the free stuff

its nice that that you think the dr dre sound good, but im dead serious, take a pair of dr dre beats listen to them then plug in the denon d2000,s i listed, i will bet you a 100 bucks after hearing the denons you will blow up the dr dre beats out in the back yard with a M80 firecracker.......

The op never mentioned which pair they have, the entire line is called beats by dre. There's the over the head pro's and studio's, the in-ear tours, the diddy's, the gaga's, the bieber beats.
You kinda need to tell us which ones you received in order to make a proper suggestion.
I like nice high quality headphones myself, but our local audiophile here seems set on getting you to buy a giant set of expensive headphones that might not fit your needs. Giant studio phones are awesome, but do you like having to carry those around in public? Are you looking for a set of in ear buds? I'd rather not suggest something you don't need.

I've used my beats studio with the captivate a couple times, but I made sure to keep my iphone as an mp3 player because the captivate just can't compare. The 5.1 option is pure b.s. imo, they just tweak the eq to make the mids sound distant.

Does it really matter which ones he has? They're all insanely overpriced, look and feel cheap and sound horrible... You can grab some headphones for about half the price which will blow them away in terms of audio quality, same thing for the Bose... Anyone who says the Beats (or Bose for that matter) sound decent is not an audiophile, not even close.

the captivate and all other SGS models have a very capable Wolfson WM8994 codec with excellent output capabilities. in fact, that's the reason that supercurio is working on voodoo sound, to better use the SGS full potential.

Beyerdynamic DT-770 80 ohm model. Far far superior sound quality with better quality bass for $200. Use the extra $100 for an amp.

I got some white colored over the ear awsome looking and sounding wesc headphones for 50 bucks. They sound in my opinion, really crisp with really good bass and a big bang for your buck compared to my BOSE's Quiet comfort 3, which sound better but not 300 dollars better theres a difference but compared to many others out there, the wesc BEATS them out rite in price, value and quality even tho I prefer my BOSEES the name says it all- quiet comfort (but really loud)

You don't need to be an audiophile to appreciate good sound. The reason why people say Bose or Beats are good is because they don't have any experience with anything else. They have gone straight from stock earbuds from their phone/iPod/etc. to $150+ Beats, so yes, it would be an obvious improvement.
Are there better options? Of course, but how would you know if all you've ever heard are stock crap and Beats?
Anyway, we can't blindly say what he should get instead. We don't know which Beats he has (which determines price range) and what he wants (in-ear, over-the-ear, open, closed, etc).

Best high end earphones for mobile use

Hey
For those not wanting to miss good music quality while they're not at home, I started this thread.
1. Use Poweramp or another music player from the Play Store. The standard Players often don't have a multi-channel equalizer, so these programms are worth their price.
2.Good in ear-earphones cost more than 150$. So don't have long pockets and short arms.
I made very good experiences with Shure Headphones. They start at around 100$
but you can also spend 500$ if you are audiophile.
I bought the Shure SE315 for around 160$ and im very contended.
Please share your Experiences with other brands or models here. Thank you.

Westone 1 Use with the Grey Memory foam, comfy, low profile, the best overall for me daily IEM and motorcycle IEM, great for all genres of music... Country to dubstep = ) or Yanni to Cradle of filth... so basically everything- Good seal = awesome sound some of the other inserts that came with it didn't seal as well and wasn't impressed at first.
Shure EC5 Most $$$ Awesome, Huge Size, Best Sounding IEM I have ever used!!!
Shure SE215 Not bad Bassy, lack of overall Mid and High CLARITY- Comfy
Senheiser Adidas MX 680 Great for running/exercising- Overall a flat EQ w/bass hint
Sony EX310 Great sound hated the overall fit to clunky...
Klipsch S4 HATED THESE? OMG why do they get good reviews??? AHH!!!

I saw the thread you started in the i9000 forum. Does Poweramp interact directly with the DAC? I believe Voodoo Sound skips the Android channel mixer, using the i9000's Wolfson DAC chip directly. The sound is amazing. I use it straight no equalizer (personal prefs), but you can salt+pepper to taste with DSP Manager. This seriously made the i9000 the best portable media player I've ever owned. Bonus that I don't need a headphone amp, too.
I used to have a bad headphone habit. I'm pared down to three now, and only two get regular use. $100-$150 is a good benchmark, but don't neglect the handful of great headphones under $50. There's other threads about that in Android and i9000 accessories, but my faves in that category are the Koss Porta Pros, Sennheiser PX200, and the discontinued Sennheiser MX500. They started a new line, and I'm using Senn's MX471s for daily beater headphones now, and they sound great after burn-in. In that in-between period, a lot of people seemed to switch over to the Yuin PK3.
In the upper end, I love the Sennheiser HD25-1. It's one of the standards for TV/radio news for its great clarity and noise-blocking. There's a great little company out of Brooklyn, too -- Grado, for open headphones. They did a collaboration with another 'boutique' hi-fi shop, Allessandro, and made some great headphones. I have the MS-1 and it doesn't get as much love as it should. Way more airy + super clear mids and highs, and you can hear amazing separation of instruments. The HD25-1 is good there too, with a stronger but clear bass.

I used to use the Senn PX200 and then the HD25-1 in an office to block out noise, sometimes not even plugged into anything. Both are great headphones. The HD25 is now called the HD25-1 II, and *should not* be confused with the cheaper HD-25SP. For a little more on the 25-1, you get a lot.

The stock earbuds that come with the Gnex aren't half bad. SHURE makes great earbuds.

Agree with Shure. I'm in love with my SE215.

Sennheiser makes good earphones

i can't belive someone brought beats into this thread, but i use sol republic amps HD when out and about and sennheiser something at home

Tough mission
I'm still waiting for a good mobile headphones. The problem is you can't try them before buying so it makes the searching efforts frustrating.

i was able to try those earbud beats and they are good. They're mainstream and sometimes an eyesore seeing everyone wearing them, but in the end of the day, you want some good sounds, the beats can help you with that.

I kind of disagree with this statement.
Good in ear-earphones can easily be bought for 80euros (or around 100$) and up. I am currently owning Sennheiser in-ears for around 60 Euros (don't ask me about the model)
Also Klipsch does high quality in-ears for a very reasonable price.
Secondly, it highly depends on your Hardware. My Desire doesn't serve as a decent MP3 player at all, as you can hear so much interference with the antenna.

Best Earphone For Music !!!

Hello Everyone,I'm looking for a good Earphone as i mostly use my Note for music.The Earphone came with my note is good but it's not that loud.So i'm thinking of buying a new one.I heard a lot abt Beats by Dre.So i was thinking of buying this Earphone - http://beatsbydre.com/earphones/beats-tour/beats-beatstour,default,pd.html.But in XDA i saw some bad user review abt it that's it's not good for android phones.So guys i need help to choose the best one.

Beats by dr dre pro 'nuff said the tours are way beter then sennheisers ie8 and that is their top of the line model but get the pros on amazon they are cheap

where are you from? if youre from a place in which there are a lot of imitation (fake) items and beats is one of them, dont bother buying it because half the price that you pay for it goes to the name.. not for the quality of that said earpiece...
If you really are a good ol' time audiophile in which sound quality comes first, go for sennheiser, bose, marshall.. (not in order)
I bought a sennheiser cx-300 II and boy i did not regret it a bit!

Sorry that will not help in any case to find some good Inears
Don't get me wrong your advice is just crap. Especially Bose sells overpriced models which are not worth it.
If you can catch up an Ultimate Ears Triple fi 10 I would recommend that. They are sometimes around 120Dollars at eBay or Amazon. The Beats are around 150 and look better, but the sound of Triple fi is just outstanding for that price. The other upside, I haven't seen any fake of them. UE announced a new replacement for them so try to get them. (Review: http://reviews.cnet.com/headphones/ultimate-ears-triple-fi/4505-7877_7-32492509.html)
But as someone wrote before if you just need some Inears, the S4i from Klipsch is also no bad choice. The difference to the UE's is huge. But everyone has to decide how much sound and price matters. The S4i has a lot of bass, but is not as clear and sharp sounding.

yepp, be aware they are not as hip as the beats. They are big, but the sound is for me better than any 300 to 400 Dollar In Ear.

I have à pair of Shure SE215 and think they're great. They cost around 100 dollars, but I see them on sale allot (I bought them for 50 bucks).
It's not the absolute best, but reasonably priced and great for use on the go.
PS. the Note does not have great audio output anyways, so buying top quality JUST for the Note seems pointless to me.
PPS. I think they sound way better then the Beats by Dre
Just my 2 cents

Beats? Please no. Go over to head-fi.org and ask your question there. Tell them you're about to buy into the beats hype but decided to go do the sensible thing by asking people around you first. There's a lot more to the world of headphones than what gets advertised. And with that, go listen to a pair of beats (doesn't matter what kind, all of them sound muddy anyway) THEN listen to, say, a Beyerdynamic DT1350 (which is in roughly the same price bracket), then report back.

+1 on the Klipsch S4A. Integrates well with Android if you install the app. Bass is pretty good, especially if you use the Beats app.

you can even go for jabra they are also nice

Aiaiai track headphones are great. That's my daily commute headphones. Retro, not for everyone but sound is great ~80us. I have the ATH-50M which are awesome studio level headphones. ~120us these are for work when need to drown out the office noise. Just order Sony xba-bt75. Suppose to be one of the best bluetooth earphones. Kinda expensive. But amazon has them on sale now. Should be getting them this week.

The audio dac on the note is very bad. I do envy my iphone ownimg friends when im listening to music. However i have found that brainwavz beta headphones are pretty good when used on the note. Others have mentioned the klipsch s4 which are also very good but i have no experience with how they sound on the note. My rec is for the brainwavz

I recommend you read this article first.
First, Beats is just an over priced brand with so-so sound characteristics.
If you are really looking for best sound you should always pair your phone with a DAC & External Amplifier (DAC only if the phone is compatible, at this moment iphone and samsing galaxy S3; I am waiting for Note 2 to show up so I can test if it works with my FiiO E17)
If you listen OUTSIDE / OFFICE look for CLOSED headphones. If you listen in your HOME look for OPEN headphones.
Most of top end headphones require an amplifier. Check FiiO (they are very good and a good bang for your money)
If you just want a great pair of cans with GREAT sound and very good value look for Audio Technica ATH-M50 ($159) video here
WAY WAY BETTER THAN Beats. And cheaper.
For In Ear Monitors I prefer the Westone 4R. The sound is simply amazing without the need for an amplifier.
Hope it helped. Best

Beats Audio Solo HD for One X

I've bought HTC One X three weeks ago and im very happy with it. Now I'm looking for a good headset to improve music quality. I've been thinking about getting a Beats Audio Solo HD, because I thought they would give me the best experience considering HTC One X comes with Beats Audio chipset and they look very stylish and smaller/lighter comparing to other Beats Audio models. Is there anyone confirm that my choice is correct, considering price/performance ratio? I've read many reviews but im confused now as everyone have different expectations (some say sound is muddy, bass is overpowered which causes mid's and hi's to be lost, some say they're not comfortable after 10 minutes of wearing and of course overpriced for such a headset and there are better alternatives in the market). What I look forward in a good headset after good audio quality and looks is noise isolation. I take a lot of bus rides so don't want to make everyone listen to my music Thanks in advance!

Beats = way too much bass and overpriced
Warning ! The Beats solo HD is totally overpriced !
I am quite an audiophile, play some instruments and listen to a LOT of different styles of music (electro, hip-hop, rock, etc.)
The only and unique reason you would like to buy a Beats solo HD is for the look (if you like shiny and cheap plastic)
If you're looking to improve music quality, forget about Beats headphones and try some sony, sennheiser, akg, beyerdynamic, audio technica..
My actual headphones headphones are AIAIAI TMA-1 and they are just AWESOME, a lot of bass with crispy end clear high and decent mid, removable jack cable, great design (personal) for around 200$ here in Switzerland. They were hard to find, but I love the fact that nobody wears the same in the streets (people all have iPhone 4s + Beats studio here )
Anyway if you want to keep it simple just grab a 70-100$ Sony bass headset and you will have a much better headset as the solo HD for half the price. :good:

I have Solo HD and they are just awsome ! And with music MOD's are even louder and have more bass ! I know the price is big but I highly recommendate them !

I also have the Beats Solo HD. They´re sounds excellent! Not so expensive I think.....in Germany 159€ only.

I wouldn't go anywhere near Beats products. Bass is overpowering to the point that the mids and highs are distorted (in my experience with a few of them), so if you're looking for clean audio or even discernible mids or highs, stay far far away from Beats.

in what genre of music Beats Audio fails to at? this "distortion" seems to be changing from person to person... everyone has different taste of music after all

lol at the hypes over the beats headphones. From most music professionals point of view, beats is clearly overpriced for its price range, as there are plenty of better ones available. You should shop around and see what your ear is most comfortable with, not following the sheep. And no, the beats audio on HOX is merely just another marketing hype. Having a pair of beats headphone around will not make your headphone sound better.

I bought the Beats Solo HD (for three days). what a bad sound.
Now I have the Beyerdynamic DT 501 p
If you looking for a headset see "Beyerdynamic, AKG, Senheiser, Bowers & Wilkins, ...."
there are many good manufactories .. for a less price then the beats and a better quality

I prefer in-ear headphones, they sound more natural. Anyway, I have a Beats Tour and a Sennheiser IE60. The second is much better! I know it is more expensive but it is just another level of quality. If you like in-ear and wanna spend 250 bucks, just get it, you won't be disappointed.

Well I ended up buying the AKG Q460 Quincy Jones on ear head phones for $200 au dollars. Yes they are designed for apple however I purchased the headset button controller app and it works. FF, RWD, customisable button functions. Only the centre button works. But the sound quality is awesome.

Yeah, I really don't get why people buy Beats earphones when £30 Sennys or Ajays... or even Sonys sound better! If you really want to spend £150 on headphones, try a brand who depend on the quality of their product rather than hype and a celebrity endorsement... Shure or Etymotics, or something like that... everybody has different taste and perceptions, but the fact remains that Beats are a terrible value proposition. There's a world of choice out there

Which ones do you recommend? I'm really interested in the Sennheiser CX 5.00 but I'm not sure if they're going to take advantage of the DAC. WHat other recommendatios do you have?
Thanks in advance.

I got the HTC "hi-res" earphones as I'm in Europe. They're very good for a bundled pair and I thought they were too bassy but then I set up a audio profile for them listening to frequencies and they sound fine. That function actually works!
I haven't listened to the cx 5.00 for a while but as far as direct experience on the HTC 10, I'm pleased with
-Sony EX650ap, same price range, quite a nice, refined sound.
-Sennheiser HD25 i-ii, sounds just lovely, get deafeningly loud but twice the price and not an iem...
-UE 700 really takes advantage of the dac, so maybe another dual driver like the Xiaomi Hybrid or One More?
This phone is even able to drive my HD600s to acceptable levels. I'm tempted to hang on to my Tidal hi-fi account after the trial ends.

Original ones...
Sent from quite brutal hTc 10 ..

The original earphones are very good for a bundled earphone but aren't really anything special in the grand scheme of things. Those Sennheisers will probably be a decent upgrade. Otherwise, there are plenty of options available online; the HifiMan RE-400 was just on sale for $60, the Shozy Zero can commonly be found for the same price and offers a bassier alternative. The Xiaomi Pistons earphones are also very good and extremely cheap, the Pistons 3 go for around $15 whilst the triple driver hybrid "pro" model is around $25, both are an absolute steal.

I've got some Bose Soundlink over ear headphones and the sound is immense...

Shure SE215

Klipsch X10

Too bad we didn't get aptx HD for those times when I can't use wired cans.
Sony MDR7506 with 24 bit flac of Miles Davis' Kind of Blue.

I'm using the B&O H7, which sound great too me. Was using the Beats Studio 2 before that. The sound quality was decent but it was lacking deep bass.

HTC has always seem to nail it in the audio department.

Sennheiser m2
Wired. No Bluetooth.

Still have to finish burn in with the original htc in ear but I already don't like them, too bassy! I do really love the Zero Audio carbo tenore, they are worth a lot more than the price they're asking for!

AF45m By Audiofly with Vyper4Android FX... Sound Is Very Very Good

Just paid $20 for Xiaomi In-ear Hybrid Earphones Pro. Triple drivers and they sound great!

I use Westone W40. All cool)

I'm using my old HTC8 Harmon Kardon ear buds for mobile use and Sennheiser Momentum 2 over the ear, corded headphones for home use. Both sound nice with this phone but the Sennheisers are my favorite. Being a decent set of over the ear headphones with a lower impedance, means this phone has more than enough power to get them sounding nice without a stand alone amp. I listen to a wide variety of music but they do a good job. Real comfortable and nice build quailty

They're definitely becoming renowned for it, which is great because I think most manufacturers see it as an afterthought. The bundled Hi-Res earphones are so freakin' good.

is here someone from Taiwan, who may be interested in helping me to buy the HTC Hi-Res Audio Earphones in the HTC store?
if so please contact me priv.
thx in advance

Using a pair of Audiotechnica ATH M50X with it. Its awesome!!!

to big to me, I like small earphones, and those original form HTC are very good to me, but can't bay it anywhere.
