EDIT - Thank You everyone for the suggestions. I bought a pair Skull Candy ears phones for Rs.1199. their is a significant increase in quality and the bass the really great. Never the less thanks for the suggestions....
PS. The skull candy headphones I mentioned above ,which weren't as good as the sammys, were for my iPod. It must be because of that I did not get good quality output.

My stock earphone also broke, so i got myself a pair of these

The build quality is very good and the sound quality is great.
As i use those and am satisfied, i can recommend.

I tried replacing my stock earphones with an iPhone one and also a DJ headphone (just testing), but I faced terrible sound quality with both, even compared to the stock. Is there some specialty to the G3 jack connections?

Beats by dre for £23.95 and u believe these are originals ? Originals cost over 100$ so please stop promoting knock-offs.

Did you notice that the price of headphones is higher than a new Galaxy 3?

Good earphones like headphones cost money, of course u can get new earphones for under 10$ but do you really want to use them ? I was just trying to help by saying what i have and that i'm satisfied with them.

If you want cheap and very great earphones, so take the wavemaster pure.. the sound is great..

I'm one of those people that love music, so I'd recommend some average priced Sonys or Senheisers. You could probably pick up a pair of either of these for $50CAN (I don't know how much RS) but the sound quality is good on them. NEVER GET BEATS. THEY'RE EXTREMELY OVERPRICED!

sorry i came into this thread late, but skullcandy and beats headphones are way over priced and hyped so exaggerate certain parts of the sound.
the poster above was right with recommendation of sennheiser, also audio-technica are very good headphones and lower priced models can out perform other headphones at twice the price.

Best Headphones

What are a good durable pair of headphones for running?

Skullcandy's are always duriable and sound great!

No skullcandy's aren't great at all!

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.

Headset
Hopefully u`re not gonna laugh, but my oppinion is that the stock headphones are the best for my GS2. I have over 30 pairs of headphones +/- control talk on them varoius brands (Beats, Bose, AKG, Marley, Skull...etc) and i`ve paid ****loads of money to buy them. maby my ears are a bit old ) but i`ve been testing and testing: best music fidelity i get with the stock ones. Of course after hotroadding them on some headphone amps with powerfull signal. I personally choose them over Monster Beats, but that just my oppinion.
Anywayz if u wanna buy a new headset don`t do it online. Go to the store and phisically try them. That`s how u get really happy

I don't like in-ear earphones, I prefer the classic ones.
I think the best are in the third link u posted

I'm actually looking to buy a new pair of the stock ones. I loved them, but I lost one of the ear bud fittings.
I went to a Bell store and they said they'd be able to give it to me for free but apparently they're on back order and have been for a while.

Best ones:
Over-ear: Philips O'Neill line, indestructible headphones, its hard but you can buy cords with controls for specific gadgets (example: iPhone on apple store) -> http://www.amazon.com/Philips-SHO95...KKUS/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1339635632&sr=8-1
in-ear: The beats by Dr. Dre, with his incredible beauty -> http://beatsbydre.com/products/showproducts.aspx?startBanner=2

Klipsch S4A will be the best bet. Good mids and highs with plenty of bass response. Also it is excellently priced for what you get. It cannot be faulted. I used to have them but recently upgraded to a pair of Shure Se215.

i got the noisehush, when i receive them i give you my opinion!

I have the normal S4's, so without inline remote, because I use them in combination with a Sony Ericsson MW600. Not quite like my Sennheiser HD598's but they give a pretty good seal and are perfect for when commuting or something.

curious
im wondering the same on a good well priced headset. preferably in ear with good bass and acoustic. im currently using lg hbs-700 which are nice bluetooth headset that sits around ur neck. but lacks bass. and samsung in ear buds that also lack much bass.

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

Klipsch S4/S4a
Sent from my GT-N7000

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.

Rotesmofa

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.

Yeah buy expensive ones, and use 'm to listen to mp3 files.....
Just take some decent senheisers and be done.

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

Recommended headphones

Guys, I bought the US HTC 10, so it came with no headphones.
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.
