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.

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

Best earphones

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

I was always a big fan if KOSS. I am using Sporta Pro. I think they are good buy for portable size and quality.

how about the Apple ones ? I had them for a while but haven't been really satisfied from the quality. I'm thinking about ~$25-40 price range. with mic.

HAHAHAHA!! Truth. I love skullcandy headphones! Lifetime warranty is amazing! It doesn't even matter if you broke them or they were defective, you just send them in and they send you new ones! FMJs are my favourite nice bass that isn't over-powering!

I use cheap skullcandy's.

Oh my God I can't agree with you more! I wasn't even paying attention to this subforum and I decided to buy Sennheiser CX 175 which is fairly cheap, reasons I went for this is I wanted to get rid of original headset that came with One X and wanted something with at least a "bit" better sound.. another reason being I was rather short on cash and I instisted on Sennheiser because I already have Sennheiser HD 380 pro which I use for post production (so really high end) so I felt safe with the brand. I bought the CX 175 in-ear headphones and man, IF I HAD THE MONEY I SWEAR I WOULD PAY AT LEAST TWO TIMES THEIR PRICE. These little nasties are quite comparable to the professional HD 380 pro, with slightly louder bass (but not as defined as HD 380 pro) which some consumers will find as a plus, some as a minus, depending on what you listen to.. I listen to electro house, dubstep and some trance so a greater bass really does the job for me... and highs are good and loud too, although they also lack a little bit of definition when compared to its brother for professional uses.. but really, stereo image for example is PERFECT.. put on a song with a lot of acoustic guitar and you'll hear the magic.
Also, the isolation is just perfect as well, you really won't be able to hear a whole lot of outside with these headphones on, even without playing music.
For its price of 30-35 euros, it definitely outmatches most if not all of headphones in the same or even higher price range.
P.S. DininduDS, if you decide to stick with the original handset, I can send you mine absolutely free. Though considering you're in Shri Lanka I guess shipment needs to be paid or something?

Type in the google sennheiser cx300 best in ear headphones out there, for bout 30$, unfortunately they haven't got a mic. if you need headphones with mic, your choice widens up. i would recommend one of those:
Nocs NS400 or NS200. a-Jays one +, RHA MA450i, Sennheiser cx275s all arround 60$.
I myself went for sony mw600 together with sennheiser cx 300, will buy Nocs or RHA with next opportunity.

Just depends on how much you want to spend. I have a pair of Sol Republic Tracks HDs that I've fallen in love with, and they're roughly half the cost of comparable Beats products. The earbuds (that I haven't had the chance to try) are roughly $40.

I have the JVC XX HA-FR201 ear buds with mic and they are perfect. So cheap and yet produces a lot of bass. I got them last year for $10. Still working up to now.

If you're looking for bluetooth you can't go wrong with the BluebudsX. They are a bit pricey but sound absolutely fantastic. Lightweight, battery lasts a good while, and best of all...no darned wires. The BluebudsX paired with the Viper4android sound mod=eargasms.

Sounds about right. Cheapest I've personally seen them go for is $20/pair. But they do have extremely good clarity and bass output. Probably the best bang for the buck in the business.

+1 for the JVC mentioned above I have the none mic version, still awesome sound

Any advice about not "in-ear" headphone (just earbuds with mic)?

Anyone got suggestions for headphones under $20 for Canada? I've spent the last 2 days looking online and can't really find anything good.

Please read my guide below on the matter when you get a chance.
The type of earphones/headphones you should buy depends largely on your musical preference, budget, etc. The earphones I love every day may sound rubbish if you listen to a lot of instrumental. Likewise, my musical preferences wouldn't sound good on headphones without significant bass presence.
Don't buy Bose, Beats, Skull Candy or any celebrity endorsed headphones. You can get far better quality at half the price.
Also, please answer the following-
Budget:
Music preference (genres?):
On-ear or in-ear:

[Guide] Headphone/Earphone Buying

Reddit (r/headphones) loves these
http://www.amazon.com/o/ASIN/B00E38BP6I?tag=adapas02-20

Don't shoot me for the suggestion...
http://www.jaybirdgear.com/bluebuds-x-bluetooth-headphones/
I love these.
The sound...is good. Almost great. If you're going to shell out $170 though, you can get better SOUNDING headphones.
But I got these probably a year ago...maybe a bit more. Still love 'em.
Great build quality. I actually sent them through a washer (derp) and after drying for about a week...tried to power them back on and they've had no issues...and this was a few months ago.
Why these?
Sound is good. If you've heard/owned Klipsch S4s...these are on par with those (a cheaper bud, but great sound for the price on those as well) but with much better lows without drowning out the mids and highs.
Do you use your headphones at work/working out?
Perfect. I love these, mainly, for this reason. I listen to 'em at work or while riding my bike...
And that annoying snag and slight pulling that always seems to eventually wiggle one or both buds out after a while is obviously gone with them strapped around your head. And these things STICK into your ears. They're also really comfortable (for me). I actually got my sister a pair for Christmas last year...and the "wings" or whatever they're called bothered her ears after a while...so she just wears them without and claims no issues. Personally I tried it and they tend to fall slightly out of place for me.
And another huge bonus...
The Voice-Dial Volume-up Track-Skip (longpress) functions all work without issue.

Music preference? I like to listen many italian songs.. like Max Pezzali, Laura Pausini, Tiziano Ferro, Modà, Marco Masini !

For that price just get some skullcandies, not bad for the price

Any cheaper ? ~ $30 ...

I'm searching something with (thanks jRi0T68 for the template)
1: Budget = max 50 $/€
2: Genres/Musical preference = Pop/Rock
3: Type of headphone = earbuds (not in ear) <--- very important
4: Functionality = with mic
5: The audio rig as whole = (doesn't matter)
6: Source material = (doesn't matter)
7: Build Quality = (doesn't matter)
Now I I'm thinking to buy Apple Earpods.

I wasted loads on all sorts of head phones. Finally went for some bluebuds x. Best set I ever bought.

Its hard to recommend headphones to somebody else
First of all whats your budget?
There are lots of imes, search for theheadphonelist and narrow your list of headphones in your budget
Google for head-fi reviews I've found a good resource there
Good luck
Ps. I have the meelectronics a151p they sound great

I use the original Samsung's headphones.
Good quality I think.

Koss Porta Pro! Still the best price/value choice. You will love it!

Yep, really subjective topic... Though S4 mini's sound quality isn't that great, so pointless to spent a fortune on headphone. Sennheiser CX 300 II price has come down a lot since its launch (like US$ [email protected]), I would grab a set of those. Though S4 mini may not be a good match up, it will reveal the poor sound quality. There's a super low impedance easy drive Yamaha I have which will cover the lack of mid-low frequency of S4 mini, but I can't find my set right now, will let you know the model if I find it.

Agree, I use my earphones only as hands free while driving I don't like the Bluetooth ones, but for music I use a fiio x3 as a player or dac in the computer

I use the teufel aureol fidelity (ca. 100€) but for 34€ you can buy the Sennheiser Cx300 II they are the best headphones you can get under 50€.

I've read a lot of positive feedback on this: Klipsch Image S4A - II
Sadly, don't own one yet, but looking forward to

Sennheiser HD 25. They still can be described as portable for that amazing sound quality.
Though I expect you are looking for smaller and cheaper ones.
