Which country?
I didn't know that there was an option to do this, outside the special edititions in Taiwan and the free bundled headphones for the first 5000 (I think) Vodafone UK pre-orders.
I'm also going to go ahead and say this before anyone else: you can almost certainly get better bang for the buck with headphones that aren't made by Beats. Just do your research.
i will be buying this one
http://www.amazon.com/Beats-Tour-In-Ear-Headphone-Monster/dp/B002EL4RI4
No, it isn't worth it. Sorry but to be brutally honest, any monster offering (besides turbine in ears) is terrible sound quality and build quality for the price. If you want to look cool and hip, then be my guest and get the beats. If you want a real pair of headphones, then look beyond beats and into some real audio companies (audio technica, beyerdynamic, etc).

Have to agree Beats are all image and no quality
Where can i pre-order it? (HTC ONE X PREMIUM SET) With worldwide shipping obviusly...
not me... not worth it
I already have a pair of Beat's Solo Product Red headphones but my question is will the HTC One X work with the inline remote on them? Will I be able to turn the volume up\down and pause\skip music as well?? Currently on my Galaxy Nexus the volume up\down does not and never did work :-(
Cheers,

Nope get yourself a quality headset: Vsonic GR07, JVC FXT90, Yamaha EP100, Sony EX600s, etc etc. GR07 is an excellent headset. But I guess all these may be wasted on the phone is the DAC is not all that!
Beats enhancer is ok and does a lot better then other sound enhancers imho. However, I tested beats pro with Sensation XE along with Razer Megalodons and honestly, Razer nailed it and costs about a $120 less.

I think Beats is not worth it at all. HTC is cool, but not beats.
However, Deluxe edition seems already on Asian Market.
Isn't it only $60 USD more to get the deluxe edition?
If so, I would buy it. Beats Solo sell for $150 alone, if anything, you can make some extra cash reselling them.
I have some replica beats studios i brought from china. They are basically identical to the real ones and are even detected as beats headphones by my mates sensation.
I paid £25 for them which is a bargain for their sound quality, buy i certainly wouldnt pay what you have to. Get some denon overears, klipsch or cheap shures for good value

Cheers, but that does not answer my question....
ooooopppppsss
did anyone get one?
I just broke my jvc's and I want to get one of these. I love METAL, ROCK, DUBSTEP, and ANYTHING WITH GOOD BASS/BEATS
Which have the best durability and have the best sound?
1. Sennheiser CX 500
2. Sennheiser CX 400 II
3. Skull candy Ink'd
4. SoundMAGIC PL11
or your suggestion please
Jawbone ICON
Hello there,
my suggestion for a headset would be this Jawbone ICON which is one of the best
if not the BEST bluetooth headsets in the world, check it out on the product homepage and you will see why
thousands of users including me are happy owners of one.Give it a try and if you ever buy one you will never forget it
or want another!!!!!
Enjoy
Dinos :good:
try ajays four..freaking awesome earphones mate
Urbeats
I still highly recommend Urbeats earbuds from Monster.
I wear them a lot and can't get enough of them. Sound is amazing, the different ear buds for customization is usefull and the beats are just stunning!
And I don't know how you think of this, but the price ain't that bad either.
Could you tell us how much you would like to spend ?
Also you should check head-fi.org out, its a forum about headphones and audio in general, I´m sure you´ll find the answer to your question there

ok, in that particular price range it isnt so easy
If you would spend a little more you could take a look at the "Shure Se 215" ( about 95$ ) or at the "Ultimate ears triple fi 10" ( about 150$, but they are just amazing, if not even the best in that price range ).
Just read some review and I´m sure you´ll find the right ones, but believe me, stay away from Beats

Using Sennheiser CX 300 II and they are great. Really nice bass and i listen to more or less the same as you
If you go for SoundMagic I hear the PL50s are very good value.

Totally agree. Stay away from Beats, maybe think about saving for the Ultimate Ears triple fi 10. (I got mine for 115€ thankfully ), Shure is supposed to be good too.
I found the best solution for this budget! German seller! Very famous in Germany

I have audio technicha sj33, quite good for the budget.
I believe I don't have hi-fi ears but at the shop beats sound good

They stopped making Sennheiser CX 500. One of my earphone started losing sound, so when I sent it back, they gave me the cx400 ii. Haven't really tested it that much, but so far they are pretty good.
I suggest that you will try the Jays a-jays one+, great quality + mic and even an android application to program the button commands!
Didn't see how much you want to spend
Yes, Shure absolutely rock.
Share se 210 right now you can get $149 for $29. Old model but really good
Shure SE 215 $100 -
Shutre SE 315 - $180 worth itv
Vsonic gr07- $180 audiophile's really like.
Hers a really good site for earphones from inexpensive to $500
But seriously, if anybody on the ION forum wants a pair of shure 210's that retailed for $149 two years, you can get for $29.99!
Unopened 2 yr warranty
BTW - I'm not the seller Nation wide retailer
I have 6 pairs.

I bought the Shure SE215 for about $100 just before I bought the One X, and it's a perfect combination. The sound is great and the bass is a bit emphasized but not overwhelming. Note that the old SE210 cost more but they are not better than the SE215.
Hey guys,
I'm planing to buy Klipsch Reference S4 earbuds. Is anybody using this ones with HOX? I would like to hear your opinion. Thanks
fully agree - the SE215 provide a decent balanced combination that is tough to beat in that price range.
I use mine everyday and am very happy with them.
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.

thanks OP, bought a pair a few days ago... delivered today and the sound quality and build quality for the price blows me away!
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 $1000 - this is a situation where most people don't want THE BEST, but the best their budget can afford - but there are many options and in plenty of things it's a matter of taste.
Heir audios:
http://www.heiraudio.com/CIEM.html
i have the 8.A, best experience of all IEM so far
I used to use some Ultimate Ears Triple.Fi 10 Pro with a silver cable, they were awesome too, and you can grab them new from ebay for about 170$ (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

Hi guys, i've been using the headphones that come with the One since i got them, but they mysteriously stopped working yesterday. I think i may have accidentally damaged the cables, anyways.... I was wondering if anyone had any good headphones they could suggest for under $100. I've heard some really great things about the Klipsch S4A lineup from other forum members and friends, and i was just wondering if any One owners had any experience with them. :good:
Just get them they are awesome
Sent from my HTC One using xda premium
I'll vouch for them... I've owned every set of Klipsch headphones and they all are better than any headphones you'll get with a phone. The only ones I'd recommend against are the low-end over-the-ear armature units they made on their first batch back in 2008.
I bought a pair of Yamaha EPH-30WH when they were on sale for $22.
Combined with Beats Audio they sound amazing! The bass is right where it needs to be, everything is so clear and I'm starting to notice instruments and effects and details in songs I just haven't been able to hear with my previous ones. Read the reviews on amazong:

I have a 2yo set of Senn IE6s. Quite nice. I paid about $100 when I got them.
I personally use the Beats Tour.
Yes, they're very expensive BUT
sound quality is really good. Compared to the stock HTC headphones that came with the One and UrBeats (I got both with my One), well... The htc and urbeats sound very dull, even though these are pretty darn good headphones too I hear people say. I gave the UrBeats to my sis whose headphones broke and kept on listening with my Tours happily. They have released a tours 2.0 though, so I'm a bit outdated now
(they also released beats studio 2.0)
I've also heard great things about V-Moda
I use some £5 monoprice in ears which are surprisingly good considering their cost.

The best head phones I ever bought are the incipio f38's. You can pick them up on amazon for about 30 bucks. You won't find anything under 100 bucks that performs like them.
Beats headsets are not worth the money. You are just paying to give dr dre free advertising with that big ugly logo on the side. Children in korea or China made them at a cost of 20 bucks max they do sound good but not for what you pay for them. Im rocking sonix 3s headset they are the best ear buds I have ever had they match the htc one style perfect too.

Hi thanks man, ive done a bit of research and they look pretty good.
I've been trying out a variety of earbuds lately with my HTC One and between the Sony MH1C, V Moda Remix and Munitio Billets, I'll say I'm very happy with the Sony buds. The clarity of the frequency range(1 Hz-20kHz) is very nice, well-controlled and works for a variety of genres and it's one of the few earbuds/headsets where I've not heard that annoying static/hiss during quieter parts of songs. All three of those earbuds go for around $30-40, but the MH1C I was only able to get for that price at Negri, otherwise they go for $80 direct from Sony.
Beats headphones are garbage. They leak sound like crazy and all they focus on is bass. The clarity is terrible.

3rd party compatibility
Has anybody experienced issues where 3rd party (cheap) headphones don't work properly?
I have tried about 4 different ones, and with all of them there are problems. One of them skips tracks and adjusts volume when you wiggle the jack plug, others register single click as a go back to previous track.
Only the ones that came with the phone work correctly in all areas, but i have got audio coming out of only one side so need to replace them.
Got some official ones ordered from the site, but they were £30. Is this a common issue with the HTC one? Or could my phone be damaged?
Thank you.
i've tested Sony and Bose from two friends for a week, after i decided that my beats makes me happier
