Well the thread title says you want headphones that cost more than 25 bucks. I'm assuming you meant less than 25. There are very few earbuds that are good for such a low cost. Me, I used the one provided with the phone.
Good ear buds go for more around the 100 price range though. I recommend these http://www.klipsch.com/image-S4A-headphones
I don't own a pair but I tried my friends, man, they are pretty good.

I use smokin buds by skull candy literal every day in the gym, and my main music ranges from meek mills to ffdp and everything in between, they hold up to it all and never have blown on max volume all day. Plus there are tons of colors to choose from. $25 everywhere you go. And even cheaper most places

Although they don't go in the ear canal, the Gumy earbuds by JVC are, by far, the best sounding earbuds I've ever heard for under $25. They are almost as good as my Klipsch s4 earbuds and tend to be more comfortable since they are disc shaped and sit on the outer edge of the ear. They look similar to the Apple earbuds, but produce a much richer sound than the Apple buds.
I would rate the Klipsch s4 buds as the overall best sounding ones I own, followed closely by the JVC Gumy buds. They sound great with the Beats equalizer on my HTC Rezound. Both are better than Skullcandy FMJ earbuds and Skullcandy inkd earbuds, IMHO. Keep in mind that I listen to extreme metal and don't like too much bass in my earbuds.
Gumy earbuds are $9 at Walmart or Target. The Klipsch s4 are $80 at Worst Buy.

I'm using Meelectronics M9P, pretty good for something under $25 as well.
IMO the M9P's bass does slightly overpower the mids, and I personally find that vocals are slightly recessed as well. But it's good enough for my commuting needs
I'm using creative ep 630.
They are great, just remember to glue those ear buds to the thing itself our you're going to lose them for sure
http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B004S7Q8CA/ref=oh_o00_s00_i00_details I got those, and they are amazing for the price at around 15 pounds.
Look up soundmagic E10, on par with the s4's. Build quality not the best, but sound is brilliant for the price.

I recommend you look through this thread, if you really want to maximize your purchase.

If you find it "TL;DR", skim through the your desired price range, and note down those with the highest(>8.0) Sound and Value ratings, then with your options narrowed down, read his comments on their sounds, and details like what's included in the box, build quality etc.
If you're really not in a rush, go one price-range tier higher, as you can often find them under discount such that they actually fit within your budget.
anyone know how urBeats bundled with the one x compare to senheiser cx300's? I just wanna decide if I should sell the urBeats and BNIB is obviously better for earphones!

I'm looking to get a new set of headphones, wondering what everyone is using.
I'm looking for some that are less than $30-40, not looking for audiophile quality, just good solid headphones.
I want earbuds so that i can carry them with me. tangle free would be a plus, as would android controls and a mic.
I found these 2 on amazon for cheap, anyone have any experience with either?

I'm not sure if over the ears are an option but these are excellent for the price, http://www.amazon.com/dp/B001RB24S2/ref=cm_sw_r_an_am_ap_am_us?ie=UTF8. Fantastic bass, clear highs, deep lows. Sound stomps beats. As far as comfort, the pads are extremely soft and light weight.

sorry, I should have specified, I'm looking for ear buds, to be able to put them in my pocket and carry with me. I edited original post.
I would highly suggest the NuForce NE600M ($30). It doesn't have in-line volume controls, but it has the mic and button for pausing/skipping. I don't own this model, but I do own three others from the same company (including the model that this one replaced) and they sound great and the mic is surprisingly decent considering the cost. I can't vouch for how well the self-detangling cord works, since its new to this model, but it does have it.
I can't post links yet, but just search NE600M on amazon, it comes in black, red, and lime. The NE600X ones do not have the mic.
I actually like the ones the phone came with

How about these? Reviews look good. No controls though.
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B001RB24S2/ref=cm_sw_r_an_am_ap_am_us?ie=UTF8
If you want something with controls that offer quality it's going to cost around ~50. Probably more i.e. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B001RB24S2/ref=cm_sw_r_an_am_ap_am_us?ie=UTF8
Keep in mind if you want full functionality control, the headphones should be labeled as Android compatible.

Not quite the $40 mark... But I've really enjoyed these noise cancelling buds from Rocketfish. I paid $60 at Bestbuy sometime ago.
Bought the Image S4 Black In-Ear Headphones at Best Buy a year ago. They sell for $79 but they are well worth the money. I've been blown away by them, the sound quality is beyond anything Bose has made and it also blocks out outside noise/sound!

Also... use the promo code: KLANGFUZZIS and the total will be about $43.32 USD for XE200PRO. Only downside is the shipping... I got mine in about 10 days but it was worth the wait.
For reference, my Xears XSR330 has better all around sound with a punchier bass than my $120 Westone UM1. It's also much louder.

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

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.

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!

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...

which brand is very good for Samsung galaxy S2?
I use the Atomic Floyd HiDefDrum / HiDefDrum with Remote
http://www.atomicfloyd.com/hidefdrum
I've been using them for about 2 years and love the sound, they've been good on the S2 and provide crisp clear highs and not headache inducing bass. I'd say they're about a 7/10 on bass (on levels of overwhelmingness) so its comfortable for long listening but satisfying levels of lows.
They have fabric based cords so its pretty good for avoiding tangles and relatively easy to detangle.
They do come with a 1 button answer/end and microphone however it is about 14 inches from the earpiece so letting it dangle the other end does say the phone call seems to be a bit quiet until I bring the microphone closer
Sorry guys coming from Nokia Symbian to S2 android I had a set of Monster Nokia purity in ears bargain on eBay.
Have to say they sound awesome on the S2. And work well for calls too although the volume/ answer inline button does not work with the Galaxy.
I thought there was no hope for the S2, when it came to playing my mp3's. The i300 sennheiser work excellent, not too expensive either!! Highly recommend.
