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.

I only can recommend you:
Don't buy headphones with mic or handsfree... the device will reject it with an "accesory not supported" error. Sony Ericsson doesn't allow to use external handsfree headphones by hardware.
I tell you by Personal experience with a Brainwavz M4 headphones.

Motorola S9-HD. Love these on my Play. Everything works exactly as expected. Music pauses for calls, wireless, deep bass (for earphones) and clean, crisp stereo sound. I'm in love with these, and I've had them longer than I've had my Play.

Sennheiser CX310 working great with Play

Actually if you can stretch to 8.99GBP (from John Lewis, it's probably similarly cheap in other countries), Philips SHE-3590 go in-ear and are better still. :good: There's a thread on head fi about them (or 3580s, which are supposed to be basically the same). Overall nice bass, clear details and lots of blocking out of outside sound. I keep losing this type of earphone, so I have tried lots of the cheapies, including Gumy and Marshmallow.
I have a Sony XB-500 that is quite fun for the Play. The bass is deliberately overpowering and makes the earcups vibrate. It's not everyone's cup of tea for accurate representation of music, but it's fun and intense when things explode on Asphalt or Giga Wing... "Come on!!!" It's not a bad attempt to get an arcade experience on a phone.
My favourite overall headphone to my tastes is the Sennheiser HD25-1, but I'm parted from that now Really nice monitoring headphone that is good at being punchy and lively as well when it needs to be. It clamps the ears quite tight as its sold to DJs who don't want it to fall off their heads, but it eventually gets more comfy with use. The aforementioned Audio-Technica M50 is good too.

Bang & Olufsen A8 headphones.
Great sound for their size! Much better than this beats headphones that can only produce bass and nothing more.

Headphones!

I need headphones that will blow my ears out.AND NO BEATS.IM ON A BUDGET OF 33$!

Look through VModa, Skullcandy and various other brands. I can personally recommend almost anything from VModa.

Search for these Sony headphones on eBay, Amazon, and other etailers... MDR-EX210B and MDR-EX58V. These are great and I've used them for a couple of years already, they change the model numbers and design every now and then but the audio drivers that they use are the same and they're great. I've had Sennheisers and several of the great SkullCandy ones like the Titan series, so I vouch for these Sony earbuds. These fits your budget too

Heh. Any ol' headphones will do ya good. I got some 5-10 dollar headphones from a store not far from where I live.
If you use HTC Sense, you will have extended music enhancers. In CM, you have DSP Manager.
In all rights, it all doesn't matter, most are loud. Unless you have a low playing song.

I will look into the ideas so far but keep em' coming!

I personally used and recommend the brand Skullcandy.
Skullcandy Metal and Skullcandy 50/50 (currently own).
both with great sounds, bass. it will blow you away!

I think Sennheiser CX-300 II is a good choice for you.
It sounds balanced and its sound quality is a lot better than others of the same price.

depends what kind of music u listen too, if u want treble skull candy is a bad choice, but its base is good, dont go by brand names go by quality and the features,
check the frequency,
i own 2 headphones
skull candy smoking buds(no treble at all)
panasonic sports gear (awesome heaven)
btw if ur wondering
bass= the sound of the instruments
treble= the sound of the vocals

ok.....so i wen and view in a techmarket some headphones and i tried some and ended up buying the pioneer se-mj721 , and i have to say for not being an in-ear but on-ear they have a hell of a bass lvl. Im glad i bought em the only downside is they dont provide noise cancellation as the in-ear type!
never the less im REALY GLAD OF THEM!
This thread may be closed now unless someone wishes to ask for advice like i did!

Skull candy or AKG!

No one has mentioned the jvc fx101's yet? Lol they have the most bass compared to every other headphone for under 20$.
Audiophiles highly recommend this headphones and I myself own a pair of jvc fx3x's and they blow me away. Bass is comparable and way more compared to beats. Sometimes if you stay reallt still you can feel the bass in your chest XD
I also recommend using poweramp as your player with these headphones because they bass is so immense and crazy that my volume has to be turned down.
You can find these headphones online or at future shop which is where i got them. Anyways consider the jvc's if you want equivalent and better sounding bass than beats for 1/10 the price

I actually have a pair of Phillips headphones that go in your ear and I love those things! Not sure if that's what you're looking for or the big ones that go on your head. I really like them, great bass, and they were like $20 at Sears or something.

That is your opinion, I've compared beats to skull candy side by side and personally for the price and the customer support I get from skullcandy I would take them over beats any day. Now to your comment on them buying knock off headphones and putting their logo on it, do you have any proof of this? If you have only used there 20$ head phones yes, they are cheap, built cheap, and not meant to last 10 years. I personally got the SkullCandy Titans and adore them. The speakers can handle any type of music I push through them and, being that the buds are made of metal they last a very long time. The best part is, if anything happens to them, like one side stops working, skullcandy will replace your headset for free. It is a very easy process to get them replaced too.

Dude you compare skullcandy to beats both of which are overpriced and not nearly as good as other brands. I'm sorry but I am an audiophile, have been for years. I have extensive audio systems at home and in my car, so I know what I am talking about.
http://www.head-fi.org/t/470384/skullcandy
This is THE forum for sound quality, so if they say they suck then they suck. Sorry man, but it's great that you are pleased by their headphones, keep buying them. Also I have owned a set of Titans, I friend gave them to me last year and they are terrible. One of the headphones has lower volume than the other and compared to even my low end set of Sony's they are trash.
With Beats and Skullcandy you are paying for the name and nothing more. Anyone who knows anything about audio will not buy either of these brands. I personally have studio grado headphones and they trounce anything else I have tried. Sure they might not look as good as the others, but they sound immensely better.
I'm sorry but you shouldn't have to replace your headphones. The only time I have ever had my earbuds break is when I tear the cord, the brands I buy have never had one of them go out. That is a sign of shoddy construction.

Shures are great for sound quality but not for bass, so if that is what you are looking for then you might want to try Sennheiser or Ultimate Ears (though they are owned by Logitech now and may not be built as well) or Sony. FIIO amps are good, but be careful where you buy it from because there are crummy knockoffs out there being sold as the real deal.
Klipsch is good too, just check out the Head-fi forums and look for what you want in the sound. Many headphones sound good, but don't have enough bass for people's taste.

problem isn't with the earphones. They are awesome. It's the walkman app which is lacking. I was also dumbstruck when I first listened to songs using that app. Use "power amp" it makes a world of a difference!! I have it as my default music player app. It's the best out there. And the bass is way too much for my liking. I have to turn it down so that it doesnot affect my hearing

Click to expand...

The amount of bass and isolation on in-ear headphones is strictly related, and both are related to the diameter of your ear and the way you use the headphones.
It is pretty simple: the more tight the in-ear headphone is, the more acoustic isolation you got and the more (a lot more) bass you got.
Sometimes you got bad luck with the size of the plugs. One may be too big and the other won't seal your inner ear correctly.
You may buy a cheaper product, but it will sound better because of the better sizing.

I think there is a problem with the headphones that came with the phone. I use the MW600 BT in the gym and they sound great!!!! What other phones can you use the ZL with?? Anyone try other ones?? Thanks.

High expectations, for what amounts to a free pair of ear buds... Uhhhh... Good on you bud. Expecting good sound from ANY earbud is a bit of a lost cause on it's own. Though if you use something like Equalizer you can get things to sound MUCH better.

Yoy should know that every human have different shapes of ear hole, I tried all 3 buds wich included in complect, and I was pretty surprised whith the sound of the smallest one. Now installed http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2213618 this and sound pretty cool ^^

hey buddy, i've passed for the same situation. not enough bass and weak noise isolation.
but i made an modification in the headphone so that give me powerful bass and enough isolation
my phone is ex300ap. it's so easy and simple trick, if someone wants, i'll make a little tutorial.
the only "problem" is that the phone makes a little "pump" when you pull off from ears
