I can't agree with that. Have you ever compared a skullcandy headphone to some other headphones in the same price range? It's just a good brandname but it has no sound quality.
For running i would recommend a bluetooth headset (dispite the lose of sound quality). I would recommend the AKG K830BT. I tested this with some other BT-headphones from philips, sony and sennheiser. I was overwhelmed by the amazing sound that came from the AKG headphone! Never imagined it would be posible to get such great music quality over bluetooth.
Beats by Dr dre but quality increases the price..

Koss plug, sound great and are cheap ......,..
hit thanks ...it's free!
I wouldn't use full headphones for running. Use plugs. But, Sony's Studios are pretty good, and you can get them for like 20 bucks at an electronic store near you
I love my Klipsch S4a image for general listening, and i go with seinheiser addidas (whichever one you like) for running.
Klipsches are great for the money.
Get Sennheiser CX250's....i believe thats the number at least...they are supposed to be 90 bucks but for some reason FYE sells them for 20. I have those and Beats In-Ears and I can attest that they are almost identical in terms of quality/bass/loudness, but for a fraction of the price.
skullcandies aren't durable but they are good, i would get the type they sell at sport authority that are meant for running.
beats is grossly overpriced, nobody should own beats that is interested in audio quality, they are for looks only
Sennheiser HD25's mate... http://www.amazon.co.uk/Sennheiser-...CGH6/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1329254193&sr=8-4
Best headphones I've ever used - they make beats seem crap!
Not a bad price either considering they're what nearly all sound engineers use, you've probs seen camera men using them on tv
Klipsche, as said before are great, I owned a pair of S4's and they were very good for my morning runs as they are so small yet have a great fit
However, they somewhat lacked in sound quality, I opted for a pair of Zion midnight earphones from the New Marley range for $130 CND dollars and these do the job for me, also the Braided lead eliminates that 'thudding' sound when hitting against you during a run.

Sennheiser and Beats by Dr. Dre. Any brand is a great choice!
Don't have a specific recommendation but I'm against buying these brands, brands I feel spend more on advertisement, style, and status than r&d.
1. Bose
2. Beats
3. Skullcandy
Beats are horrible for the price.
Skullcandy in general is horrible.
Bose is overpriced Hype.
Check Head-fi.org for real headphones.
I have Beyerdynamics 880 250ohm, they sound great but are not for portable use.
I have some budget portable headphones from monoprice.
Check out these reviews. I personally love the $7.11 8320s. The DJ headphones are nice but they can't compare to my Beyerdynamic 880.

I'm gonna try these for working out and possible mountain-biking........ a friend had them and let me use them, sounded great and easy to use.
Sony PIIQ line, almost any Shure buds, V-Moda. I'd go for a cheap pair if I were you, just so you don't cry over it when it breaks.
Koss Porta Pro is the best headphone I had so far. Further more it's classic.
Skullcandy? Bose? Beats?
Are you trolling?
It all depends on what you want for a sound. For all-around sounds I'd advise you to get Sennheiser cx300s, they're all-around ok.
If you don't care about spending a bit more money I'd recommend you to check out head-fi.org, they're the pros and can give you more in-depth advice.
Hello,
I'd like to buy me a new pair of headphones (not in ear phones). I'd like this to have a mic and 3 buttons compatible with my Samsung Galaxy s2. It would be nice if it will be also compatible with other phones.
I've already looked the different Monster Beats model (nice design but performance/price not so interessing), and some other Headphones.
basing on your experience, which headphone should i pick?
best regards

I like Skull Candy. Am a big fan of earbud styles, and these are the most comfortable I've tried of that kind and come with 3 sizes of buds to customize if you need to. Good price point. Many models also have a volume control for the headphone on the cord line - something I always look for. And I find they have good bass to boot. Just my opinion though.
You can buy the skull candy hesh 2.0 and comes detachable cord. And you can buy this htc cable with remote all three buttons work on galaxy s 2
Here is link for both of them :

I can recommend Sennheiser and Beyerdynamic headphones.
PLEASE, dont buy skullcandy(same for wesc, urbanears, beats by Dr.dre). The sound is horrible and the buildquality sucks. You can get way better headphones for that price! Get Sennheiser CX300 f.ex., they sound quite nice and the price is pretty fair. I would also recommend you to buy a pair of klipsch S4, pretty unknown but they have a brilliant sound!

FTFY. IMO, Beats are overpriced and overrated.
www.head-fi.org. Go there to research. I'd also recommend to look into Bowers &Wilkins headphones.
Sennheiser are the best earphones i ever used... Beats are far behind, it's only marketing..

Which headphones are u using?
because the ones i m using are cool enough ..the pmx 60
take Sennheiser HD228 its a cheap and great audio
steelseries. hehehe
I still couldn’t figure out all the fuss about $100 or so headphones vs average $20-$40 headphones. I don’t listen much of the music but when I do they pretty much sound the same to me..I don’t see much differences between lets say ones costing a lot and cheaper one. Only the way they feel in your ear is what I noticed..anyhow start with cheaper version and see how it goes is what I would say..
Sennheiser...
i'm not comfortable to wear standard headphone designs so i'm stuck with BH-503
beats earphones are best
I have read posts on loads of sites for the past week.. Had a pair of soundmagic e10's.. Brilliant sound if a little uncomfortable but for 35 quid... Brilliant. Also had a pair of sennys cx300ii... Ok not brilliant but had a good fit and not bulky. But just got my girlfriend to order me some klipsch s4i for my birthday.. Hoping for soundmagic sound with a really good fit. Seems to be what people are saying and for 60 quid its the most I would pay for earphones
Sent from my awesome S3.
I have S4i and find the bass to muddy out vocals a bit. The highs are also not superb, but other than that, very enjoyable earphones. I do prefer my Shure SE215's in all aspects, though. Of you could find those for the same price, like I did, I'd expect you to be happier with the Shure.
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.

Klipsch S4A
+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

If it does not have to be in-ear there's a decent headset from Philips: SHL9705A/00
There might be better headphones around, but there's only few Android headsets
(with microphone and control button and even an corresponding app) out there...
Been using it some now, and they're ok...

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

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.

The beats are the apple products of the headphone world. Overpriced, status symbol.
I bought a pair of Dr. Dre Beats in-earphones and its the best quality music I've heard through earphones on the one x. Having the double Beats experience FTW

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
I did have a quick look around on here but didn't see any posts that fit quite what I'm looking for...
I have the urbeats or ibeats whichever one came free with this phone (at least when the promotion was running)
They're ok, but they do distort quite a bit at high volumes on the bass and also the higher end sometimes.
So I've decided to get some new in ears that will be a lot better. I know beats headphones in general are pretty useless for the price they're sold at. I know there must be better out there, I'm no audiophile, so be aware that the best sounding headphones I've had are the sennheiser hd203s, and technically these urbeats are the best in ears I've heard.
I'm looking for some with preferably 16ohm impedence, I do want them to be loud, almost too loud, just in case I ever need to turn it up that high.
But I need headphones that simply don't distort, even if they are max volume, and that I can hear the bass , but a more balanced sound so that everything sounds great together, ie I don't want them so bass heavy that I can't hear the vocals/treble etc etc
So with that in mind, can anyone recommend some in ears at around £100? If they really are worth it, I'd spend more so please suggest anything that fits
Even if there is some in ears that sound as good as the hd203s? Is that even possible?
Thanks

going on experience alone, i've had sony xba-2's (currently in use) and they're great but a little to bassy so i'd go for the xba-3's and sennheiser in-ears are great to as i've had cx150's which were also great. so sony or sennheiser are obvious choices, also look into logitech ultimate ears especially the ue 400's, nice bass and treble with nice highs but a tiny bit robotic (but common trait of the ue range of in ears and headphone). hope i helped
I would just go for some Rha earphones. Sound nice and I'm using a lower end model. They have a 3 year warranty. If they stop working or become damaged. They just post replacements out and ask you to post the defective set back.
Thanks guys, I took a lot at the ones you recommended, and I'm definitely tempted to get some rhas, the MA750's to be precise. Hopefully they're as good as the reviews!

HiFiMan RE-400 is the best in ear head phones under 100$[/URL] for all people with the best sound quality and high-fidelity. It is just for music, you can’t do anything else when using it such as: make a call or control the volume…But I think it is good choice with affordable price for all.
