[Q] Dr Dre, Klipsch, Bose Headsets?

Anyone tried Klipsch Image S4i, Bose - MIE2 mobile headset, or Beats By Dr. Dre - Monster Solo High-Definition Over-the-Ear Headphones with ControlTalk? (I got the titles off Best Buy). I hear a lot of the more expensive headsets have trouble with phones that are not apple brand. Anyone own any of these and use it with the vibrant? I am running latest axura rom with voodoo enabled, if that matters.
Can anyone skim through the best buy online store and tell me what are the some of the best headphones they carry (preferably with mic but without mic is fine too)? thanks

Best earbuds imo:

They are on a severe discount now too. As for where it's coming from, I'm an audiophile and did my research on ear canals when I was looking for a pair for my Vibrant. The microphone also works perfect with the phone and can control music players just fine.
This set is a tad bass-heavy, just warning ya. It can handle ANY volume you throw at it too.

hmmm those look really good, I really want to get something from best buy though because I can get employee discount, if none of the best buy ones work maybe i'll get that

I own the Beats by Dre Solo HDs and use them with my Vibrant. The audio is perfect, but I haven't been able to get the Control Talk to work (although I haven't tested them yet with Nero). I definitely recommend them!

If you think the beat by dre are perfect you have alot to learn about audio all they are are heavy bass and crappy mids and highs, people only buy bose and dre **** just because media tells them too when theya re really some of the ****tiest things you can get
and vmoda is tits.

Klipsch s4i is the best out of all in the OP. Etymotic, shure, and ultimate ears also make good headsets in the same price range, not sure if BB carries any of them though. Beats and bose are all marketing, you'll find little in the way of actual sound quality.
Personally I am using ultimate ears triple fi 10s with my vibrant to listen to music, and they are very revealing-the vibrant is not a very good source in this regard. I highly prefer a dedicated DAP with a decent internal amp for optimum sound quality. These are probably out of your price range, though.

If you haven't heard the new MIE2 you shouldn't make a generalization about it. I hope those S4i's last longer than they have for others.

Some Bose are good but all of them way too overpriced for the quality.
Dr. Dre is marketing mostly though, don't get that if you're looking for actual sound quality. If you're looking for bling that looks nice in your ears, get them.

heygrl does the mie2's mic work with vibrant? anyone know if the s4i's mic works with vibrant?

I read some of the reviews and quite a few say they have poor build quality, is this true? one of the reviews said that the manufacturer wouldn't honor the warranty because it was purchased from an Amazon reseller.

anyone with the beats by dre, either solo or tours...do they come with a regular cord and then the one with the control talk? im thinking i can use my sony mw600 bluetooth with the beats without the control talk cord.
thanks.

The earphones that come with the vibrant aren't bad at all for freebies. I'd rather listen to these than the beats or the bose headphones. That said, I don't typically use my vibrant to listen to music with headphones, if listen with headphones i have a dac hooked upto my pc that goes to a hornet headphone amp and a pair of hd650 sen's.
Since I drive to work and don't take public transportation, I find that I rarely am in a position to consume media from my phone in that manner.
I do like the shure se series, you should look into them and see if they're right for you.

I have a pair of klipsch (forgot the model), the sound quality is great. Highs and lows are very clear.

I am currently using klipsch S4i, it is special design for iDevices but they release the android one Klipsch Image S4A. I bought mine about 4 months before they released the S4A. You will not disappoint with the sound it produces. You can see review about the S4i on youtube, the sound quality is the same for S4i and S4A. They just specially design for different devices.

I have some cheap sonys. Like $30. Play/pause works and skip. Prev and volume doesn't but no biggie. Important bases are covered.

I am currently using the ibeats that came from the HTC sensation XE on my GN but I am eyeing out on this one. You can also download the app from the marketplace and customize the headset functions to your liking =)

i have the beats by dre ibeats and they work perfectly

Currently, only one button headphones work with android. Three button headphones only work with Apple devices. As i understand, this is a limitation of the Android OS, though i wonder how hard would it be for a dev to patch this functionality.
Most 3rd party players from the market (doubletwist, poweramp) have built-in controls so that you can play/pause/skip/etc via the one single button.
I am using a pair of Shure SE535 with my phone and only my center button works, the other two don't function.

S4a has only one button, though it can be assigned multiple commands using the free Klipsch Control software from the market - you can customize the button, including double-press, etc.
I haven't used the controls much yet but they work with the Galaxy Nexus, which was not the case from my old Galaxy S. the sound is quite good from these headphones.

Not true - the iBeats that come with the Rezound work perfectly. Problem is, I can't find any Monster iBeats that have the three button control, all of the ControlTalk ones I find are single button.
Anyone have a link to the iBeats as sold with the Rezound? In Google Music (only app I tested them with), play/pause and track/forward back worked as it should.

Agree, I get mine for 50% off and I love them. They are just.. well amazing.

Got a pair of Sol Republic Amps that work. Three button remote, Play/Pause (Double tap = Next, Triple = Prev), and then volume controls.

I just picked up a pair of Etymotic Hf3's from Best Buy (on clearance for $80, reg $180) and using Klipsch control. Works great! I am pretty sure three Klipsch app works with a lot of headphones.
I think there is another similar app in the market by Jay's...haven't tried that one yet.

fyi who ever tells you to buy the ibeats by Dr. Dre are not doing you a favor. The sound quality on those headphones is terrible. I bought them and returned them within an hour. My $17 Phillips ones sound better then the ibeats. They are the worst headphones I have ever tried. Also they were not defective I had them exchanged as well before I returned them. They don't get loud at all.

I highly recommend this headset. Comfortable and high quality. Works better than expected.

I'm about to pick up a pair of the S4i's (thank goodness for friends who work at Future Shop). Awesome sound, and the centre button works with the GNex (and I'm pretty sure you can customize it with the Klipsch app, or another, just like the S4a).
Bonus of the S4i is that it'll still work to use with my iPod shuffle (relax, I only use it for working out)

I just picked up a pair today from BB an hour away from my location. They were only available there. So far, loving the crispness of these, and just wondering what you did to get the volume control to work?
Btw I bought these because I went through all these headphones and these were the only ones that looked really good at a great price. And you said they worked with all the buttons. If not it's no big deal, I'll just return them and find something else. Plus the bass is really lacking, I read it in the reviews but didn't think it would be this flat

Good Wired Headset?

I usually listen to the music over my Note...
Could anyone advise a good sound quality wired headset with full compatible microphone & its control with Galaxy Note?

initially wanted to get Klipsch S4A for Android but read somewhere that it might have compatible issue with some Samsung Android phone. So do beware if you are getting this.

these sound awsome for music
http://www.etymotic.com/ephp/hf2.html
and can be got for as little as £65

Thanks friends for you all recommended...
However, I have see many wired headset in iPhone shop with vary price level & quality.... if they compatible with iPhone, can it also compatible with Note? (I see they using the same connector type)

You have to choose carefully
Tee3D - No! Not all headphones that work on iPhone will work with the Note. I have a pair of iLuv cheap headphones for the iPhone and they work fine with it. The headphone has a mic and phone/music controls that work fine on an iPhone, but not all of the controls work on my Note. You have to check carefully.

I just bought Klipsch promedia.
http://www.klipsch.com/promedia-in-ear
Sound quality is very good,they are comfortable and music control works well.
1 click for play/pause, 2 clicks for next track.
You can also install from market klipsch control which allows you to control the volume too.
I paid klipsch promedia 45€..very very good for that price

If you are not looking for high-end audio quality (which I suppose you can't really get with the Note, given the rather less-than-good audio circuitry implementation), I would suggest to give the bundled headphones a try. I've been using them from the start and I find them quite decent.

Thanks all friends for advises & comments

There better than awesome and the mic is the best I've used as well.

the Op asked for a wired headset with the full control (mic, vol, stop, play,next track) of the original headset - as far as I have researchrf none of those recommended do that without tricks or using software solutions. can anyone recommend a headset they are using that are good and have the mic and all controls for the note? I just lost my original samsung note headset. Or does anyone know a place that has a discounted or reasonable price on the the samsung original headset - I can't find them when I google for it.

Skull candy 50/50 got it from apple store although fwd/rewind/nxt/previous track buttons not working ' i am happy '.

AKG 450s sound absolutely amazing with music. They are a set of portable headphones that are on offer at the moment for £40 GBP on Amazon, which is £60 off from the £100 price-tag (itself a cut from a £150 price tag). They fold up and you can buy an accessory set with volume control and a microphone for use on mobiles. These things knock the socks off of Beats!

High End Earphones (IEM) with remote controls for SGS3

Hi Guys,
I'm not prepared to compromise any more on sound quality than I have to and I like to use good IEMs and MP3 players.
Recently, like the rest of the world, I've started to use my mobile phones as my daily audio driver more and more.
I’ve never had a serious pair of earphones with pause/play/RR/FF controls, this would be a godsend and I would like to know if there are there high quality earphones with this feature out there that actually work on Android?
I will use them with my mobile phones Galaxy Nexus & Samsung Galaxy S3
I saw this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1695717 about high end IEMs but they aren't discussing android controls and I'm following AndrewWilley http://goo.gl/eclr4
I'm also checking out the http://goo.gl/4jBfc as an option and I will be able to plug these into my Denon C710's but I cant tell just how much they will impact the sound quality.
I'm also talking about quality IEMS above the Beats by Dr Dre range or the a-jay One+ headphones.
I'll be happy to know if anyone has any ideas

I am an avid record collector. I think regardless off what we use we are still at the mercy of our dsp. Headphones become uncomfortable, while earbuds offer very little low frequency response. I downloaded an app simply called equalizer and use the LG HBS 700 Bluetooth headphones. Not bad for 69 bucks. Just another avenue.

Have you ruled out all the ones on this thread? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2104171
Tapa.

Just to widen the choices the new T-Peos H200 comes with a secondary, single button mic equipped cable. You have to order them straight from T-Peos in Korea though, or though one of their online resellers.
A bit lower on the totem pole would be the cheapo yet good Brainwavz R1 or the upcoming R3.
The new Meelec twin hybrid might work too, but not so sure it has a mic or not.
Lastly the Belkin iPhone controller adapter works well without compromising much on the SQ side IMHO.
Good luck.

That's a good thread, thanks for the heads up.
I'm currently using the Etymotic HF2 which is listed on it:
The sound is clear but they really need a headphone amp to increase the volume which without can get lost to background noise when commuting.
I also had the Puresound ClarityOne (not listed on that thread) which developed a frayed cable after only 4 months.
The cable is thin and the connection point to the 3.5mm jack is the point of failure.
The customer service from that company was so ignorant I would NEVER recommend them to anyone to cough up over £100 on them.
I'm stepping up into the CIEM arena and see what the fuss is about.
Thanks again.

the T-Peos H200 look good and I read a positive review of them here http://www.headphiles.org/index.php?t=msg&goto=265151&
I will have a detachable mic/single button cable with my CIEMs when they arrive which will also please me as they apparently will not have any discernable loss in quality.

Headphones recommendations...

Hey guys,
i love the stock in ear headphones but i'm struggling as to why samsung and apple can do remote control but HTC seem to only have 1 button!
I'd like to control volume, and also skip songs and go back, etc.
Anyone got any recommendations of headphones and how to get that functionality?

Hi,
It will be hard to find an headphone with the remote control.I see the Beats headphones made for the HTC Sensation,it have 3 buttons specially made for HTC Devices.You also have the official HTC headphone with 3 buttons on the htc accessory website.
Most of others headphones on the market will be for Apple devices,it have 3 buttons but only the "accept/reject call" work on the One.
If I had to recommend you a good one,try the v-moda m80 silver(Smaller) or the V-moda m100(Bigger).it looks great with the One with some silver metal builds quality.The sound quality is great even you 're listening hip hop music or classical.It comes with 2 cable:1 for the Apple devices and 1 for Android devices(just with 1 mic button) and it's kevlar made,very hard to break
Look for :v-moda crossfade M-80 white overview,review on Youtube for the official videos
By the way,there is also an app called:"headset button controller" on google play store,it was great and I used it on my old HTC models,but didn't try on the One.You can assign some function on one button like double/triple press or holding.

Fry's has these for $140 this weekend. I'm trying really hard to resist. That's more than I've spent on what I consider my audiophile headphones.
I already have the Plantronics BackBeat GO, which has a similar form factor. They fit well, are mostly inconspicuous, and have good audio for a non-AptX headset. However the 3 hour battery life and lack of multi pairing are keeping me from putting them on unless I'm doing something where the cord gets in the way (for me, mostly lab work). I considered the LG Tone+, but I think they look doofy and I question the quality of the earbuds.
