High End "over the head" headphone

Hi, I am looking for a good headphone to use with my HTC Touch Pro and my laptop. I will use it together with rc e100 or w100.
Very good sounds
Possible to fold to fit in a big pocket.
Over the head
Nothing or not much leaking of sounds
Possible to use in light sports like heavy walking
Good for music like classics, string instrument and Rock. Ofcource a lot of others to...
Good sound when making calls both for me and the second part
Today I user a Porta Pro headphone but I would use to get better sounds and less leaking.
I have looked (on the Net) at Sennheiser PXC300. I think the PXC350 or PXC450 would be to big?
Does anyone have suggestions for me?
I'm sorry for bad english...

Plantronics 590
Everything you asked for plus stereo bluetooth so you can have great music and crystal clear conversations. I would suggest the A package vs the E package as more comes with it.
If you don't know who Plantronics are - they are the mother company of Altec Lansing. They know sound.

They are unfortunately not manufacturing any more. I have lissened to them. I think that is the best you can get from bluebooth. I have looked for simulare BT headset but can't find any. Therefor I think I have to get a wired one.

I've got an extra pair (unopened) on deck I can sell you, but you would have to pay the shipping. Also Mennesysis wrote a great piece on Bluetooth A2DP headsets here on XDA. Search it and it should pop up.

decided to flash.... nice looking rom.
Cannot send MMS!!! regular text is find, but pics do not work... wifi or 3g. I think it is incompatibility with popcorn v4 based and v6 based roms.
Also the wifi toggle doesnt work correctly, it always stays highlighted.

[Q] Dr. Dre Beats Tour ControlTalk with Android

Hi All,
I just got a pair of Dr. Dre Beats Tour headphones and the microphone doesn't seem to work with my Android phone. I tried searching a lot and can't seem to find a lot of information on this apart for a few posts with very few details. Does anybody know if there is a way to get the microphone to work? I am currently running Android 2.1.
Thanks!

Has nobody else here run into this issue?

Gonna go ahead and guess this is spam, seeing as you have 1 post... and I said in my first message that I searched a lot but wasn't able to find anything useful.

You probably won't find that much information about this topic, well not useful information anyways. As far as i know, the tour doesn't work on a lot of android phones. The ones we have tested on are, Desire and wildfire. The reseller where we got the headphones from claims that the tour works with Nexus one, however i have not tested it. It would be interesting to know if other brands work...
P.s my beats studio works on all android phones with 3.5mm plug... and i have no idea why as physically, the plug is exactly the same.

Thanks for the info. Yep, I think it has something to do with the ControlTalk features on the cable... I tried my brother's Beats Solo, which came with the same ControlTalk cable, and they also didn't work.
I have an HTC Aria by the way. Just tried with Cyanogen 2.2 and also not working. Seems like we should be able to figure out a way to make this work, especially if it works on the Nexus One... they are both HTC phones after all. I wonder if there's a special driver for it installed on the Nexus One?

No dice on my Evo with my DiddyBeats. Wish I could take them back.

I actually got a Samsung Captivate and the mic works! Plus and minus controls don't, but at least I can answer/hang up/pause music and use the microphone.

And the answer is....
monstercable dot com (directory) mp3 (directory) controltalkworks
check your phone!

list...
Hmm the list is not very up to date....

No htc phones here...
UPDATE: there is hope

click on 4th tab universal controltalk, more comp. devices....!!

Hi guido!
I am in the similar situation...
Have you found a solution to make it work??

I can confirm that controltalk does not work with the Epic 4G either. I am running NebulaROM 2.2.1, and was using the beats solo HDs. Looks like the controltalk universal is the only solution. If I find a place to purchase them online, I'll post links.

I can confirm too. I've got the diddybeats with controltalk and hangup doesn't work. But audio control works (play/pause, next/previous). The mic seems to be work too, but i must hangup manually on the phone.

yea i have the solos and i had the ibeats and the controltalk doesnt work on any android phones it sucks cuz now i have to pull my headphones off and pull the plug out to answer a call on my mt4g running cyanogen mod 7 nightly

This is wider than the Beats Tour.... I have in front of my original Nexus One headset, my Dad's Galaxy S headset, and my Beats Tour with Control Talk.
I call the landline and then used each headset in turn. Only the mic on my original Nexus One headset works!
On the Beasts, the Control Talk button muted and un-muted the call, but no mic!
At the black rings on all the plugs all line-up, I assume it's a driver issue?
At least my Beats work with my iPad....

Can't get the Monster iBeats with ControlTalk or the Etymotic Research HF3 headphones to work with my HTC Desire Z.
FWIW, the inline mic adapters (i.e. Shure Music Adapter microphone, Griffin Smart Talk) allow all the above headsets to work. I had the Shure Music Adapter for my noise-cancelling Sony headphones. I haven't tried to control music, but the inline mic definitely works for calls. The answer / disconnect controls work on the Griffin, haven't accidently hit the button on the Shure yet.
Yes, it does defeat the purpose of the inline mic on the headset and it is a lot of extra cord to deal with... but oh well, its a work around until someone figures it out.
It may be something with powering the inline controls which the HTC phones don't support. If it were a driver issue, I think someone on this forum would have solved it.
HTH,
Ken

what a crock... the mic is totally usable on my POS work curve 8520, but not my android desire z.
epic monster #fail... so pissed.
does anyone know if the original dre beats tour headphones microphone works?

hello,everyone ,I am damjy,it is my first post in this forum,I think it is necessary to make a short introduction,Don't you think so?I am a new member and I join in you just now,I am so glad to be here.Have a good time .

IIRC while reading thru the Head-fi forums, the beats are designed to be compatible for iphones.
IMHO, if you are looking for quality sounding headphones, just stay away from Dre Beats, Diddy beat, Bieber beats, GaGa beats, Ludicris new phones or even Bose. They suck, overpriced and just really great marketing and branding like Apple,
I use Panasonic HJE-900 and Custom Shelled TF10 myself.

Guys,
I think the ones you are after are the 'Controltalk UNIVERSAL'.
The standard 'controltalk' is designed for the Apple products I think.

Issues with another brand inear headphones

Hi there people, I am looking for to buy a nice set of in-ear headphone for my HTC one X, however I have realized by trying a cuple that i have here at home, the sound is actually really bad when I use a different set of headphones, nevertheless when i use the original ones that came with the phone it sounds better, but, to be honest for me they do not seem to be the best ones, I am always using the same app for music which is PowerAmp which I really love. Now what I need to know is that if some other users have experienced the same situation, not to say problem, cause i really do not want to buy a new and perhaps a expensive set of in-ear headphone if they are going to be as crappy as the rest i have tried so far. Any sugestions, advices are always welcome, and, if you also want to share and recomend your experiences with other headphones i am always willing to read about it.
Thanks and Regards

Well since the HOX is made with beats inside wouldn't it make sense getting beats headphones? Just saying.

Yes you're right bro, however that's the problem, honestly I don't like beats :S LOL, that's the reason why I was looking for another option, but thanks for your quote. BTW, I forgot to mention that on the previous message, sorry.

Monster Controltalk & S3

I received a pair of Beats by Dr. Dre headphones for my birthday (Solo HD) and have paired them with my S3. Wth the Controltalk cable I have most functionality except for volume up/volume down. Was wondering if this was a software issue and has anyone found a suitable wor arou d for them.

I don't think they're compatible, check the market and you might find an app that'll help you out.

A check of the Play store using the search terms Monster Controltalk yields nothing. I am hoping that someone has developed an app outside of the store.

I just sold my ibeats with control talk.
I bought a set of Jays a-Jays One+ but dont really like them... I might just have to get a set of Monster UrBeats

Because the UrBeats are the ones you should have gotten. Those Beats are made for iphones, not really androids. No need to be a ****

Because, without being a **** and saying "Use the search" I offered two different options for you. Both headsets work with the SGS3, and both are made for android.
On another note, I decided on the Klipsch S4A instead of buying UrBeats off ebay....
(*hint* also headphones built for Android....)

If you'd use the search function, you'd know there's already a solution. Theres a cable that you buy. You hook it to your phone from one end n the other end is connected to your headphones n control talk works. Now use the search function to find it *hint its already in a topic about this subject*
Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk 2

hmmm, I actually did use the search function and search term was controltalk and I couldn't find this cable. Can you please link me either the post of what cable I need to get? Have my Beats Studio and S3 for about a month, and all I can do is play pause and skip on music. Can't even call with it let along control volume.

What are the bundled earphones with the M9?

Does anyone know? Are they any good? And how is the audio quality on the M9 as I primarily listen to music on my phone.

If you can spend another 100 bucks for in-ear ear-phones - do it and you'll gain.. if can't - enjoy what you pull from the box, and it's good enough for you..
Thanks.

You got any suggestions of ~100£ earphones? Shure? Klipsch? Sony?

Not really.. I'm a humble guy - I am just with my Parrot Zik if somewhere out there in public transportation or so..

Old-fashioned..

It depends on the variant you get as to whether you will get earphones or not.
