Headphones

Was pleasantly surprised by the very good headphones that came with my one v.
Looks like HTC is finally paying attention to detail and not giving crappy earphones with their smart phones.
Totally unlike a certain company which gives you the same earphones whether you buy an iPod shuffle or an iPhone 4s.

well.. here's someone who knows how to appreciate
though many people complains bout not having beats earphone

Actually,I think the beats may be worse than the HTC one's.
I tried a friends and they were no different than the others.

therefore its called lifestyle headphone. if HTC bundled HTC One V with Beats headphone, then you are most likely have to pay $120 more for your phone. just like HTC Sensation XE.

Hah! Yeah
Since HTC has already bought beats, I suspect it won't be long until they start to charge a premium for the headfones.
Of course only extremely dumb or extremely rich people or both would actually buy it

There is an audiophile adage,
"No highs, no lows, it must be Bose".
I'd have to agree though that Beats are also low quality. Wish there was a way to get rid of the beats branding on my phone..

For a mid range earphone the Phillips has very deep bass and the sound is also pretty clear .

Odd, my One V didn't come with earphones :S is that normal for koodo? Also, i cant get 3 ringed earphones to be detected, is that a limitation of the one v?

Using Skullcandy S2BLBZ-WS... I love it... but i do agree, HTC's stock aren't that bad...

Koodo's version doesn't come with headphones, that's probably why it's only $175 CAD.

There is a beats mod in the apps section

Dude.. do you not review products before you buy them?? Beats headphones are a pure marketing ploy. While thy have really good build quality, the sound they output is worth MUCH less than they retail for. We have Beats headphones at work and a few friends have some beats buds. I have a $100 pair of Sonys I bought 3 years ago that blow any of the Beats headphones out of the water.
Do your research. Unless you don't care about sound quality, you have much better alternatives out there.

To be honest you should really look into Klipsch brand buds they are honestly the best bang for the buck headphones i have ever purchased and they come with a 2 year warranty! Who does that?! I researched and tested many and they have the hands down best sound quality for under 100$ you can hear distintive tones and pitches simultaneously and hear high and lows while having some noise canceling ability.
have stuck to this brand for 3 years cauase they are awesome.

Headphones for One are unbranded beats

The headphones on this phone are really good.I have over the ear studio beats and these ear buds produce more base and are very clear Htc bought half of Beats so what technology u think they will use?Very surprised nobody is talking about the quality of the headphones I tried my gf new iphone 5 headphones and these destroy them it was funny watching her face.I Think the ear buds are unbranded Beats

Just a shame about the lack of buttons on the stock headphones.

I found that they have too much bass. Used them for 5 minutes and gave them away. Nice if you listen to hip hop and dubstep but not metal. Definitely not for metal.

Hmm gonna have to give them a try later and compare them to my actual beats.

Yes the supplied ones are pretty good. Much bass but thats ok for my music. I have better ones at home, but now i´ve an alternative with a button :good:

You can also buy the htc 240 set which is similar but they have the track skip, volume change buttons also. These and the urbeats are the only ones that can do this from a wired pair with this phone as far as my research has led me to believe.

That of course is a possibility. I got mine in Taiwan at the HTC store and the ones that came in the box are unbranded beats. They sound excellent, not as good as my Bose but very good for being included for free.

I have Klipsch head phones and I compared them to the head phones that came with the One. The klipsch have much clearer crisper sound and comparable bass. Just my .02. But the klipsch were not free with the purchase of a phone. I did not find the stock headphones to have good sound.

Nope look the same to me as my international one x. They are good for included headphones better than most. Now if we are judging them based on headphones well we know how good Beats headphones sound which is to say if they sounded as good as they look they would be decent headphones but every review will tell you they are eye candy not ear candy

Bluetooth ones will more than likely have all controls (volume and answer buttons) working. I strongly recommend the Apple Earpods though if you care about the microphone. I have tried many highly praised wired/BT headsets and none of them have usable mics on the N5.

Currently using these Bluetooth 4.0 Headphones with volume adjust buttons, mic, and a power button. Relatively simple. One piece of wire that connects the two pair of headphones and a small battery in the two earbuds that can play about 4-5 hours of music streaming over Bluetooth. I usually work out with these, so I had to get a pair of Bluetooth headphones that are light! So I can testify to their quality! Sound is solid as well, the sound is fairly close to my Klipsch S4 (II) earbuds. Headphones? Meh, I never buy bluetooth for those haha.
I couldn't find the US link to them, but I figured this should be a good lead. :victory:

These headphones are better sound quality and cheaper. They also come with 3 button controls. This is a way better buy then spending on 60 monsters. I'm an audiophile and use this for the gym and to beat up. My regular studio headphones are vmoda m100s if that helps you identify my music quality.

Yeah man I was surprised by them when I got them. I found them on eBay and I tuned them in viper4android and I was blown away. Really good headphones for beaters.

Yeah, I'm not an "audiophile" (I really, REALLY hate that word) but I am an audio enthusiast (been in the audio industry for 15+ years), and I gotta recommend staying away from anything Monster or Beats branded. You are paying 10% for the headphone, 90% for the brand, and they generally sound like crap.
You want good buds for a good price, go with Yuin. IEMs- Shure or Westone. Cans- Sony, Beyerdynamic, higher end Sennheiser (their low end is crap), Grado, some AKG, HiFiMan, certain V-Modas. Portable supra aurals- Ultrasone has some good ones and the Koss Porta Pro's are pretty much unparalleled for their price and I'm pretty sure that they have ones with mics and controls now.
Bottom line, if they are mainstream and all your friends say to buy them, don't. The best values can be found in brands that don't spend millions on advertising.

LG Quadbeat 2 versus SoundMagic E10

Any one have any experience they can share on the 2? Which is louder? Which is better sounding? I have hearing lost so I need something louder. I'm using some Samsung S4 headphones and they are not loud enough. I'm trying to stay in this price range.
I listen to all kinds of music but mainly rock and old metal.
Please list some headphones that you feel might be better in the same price range.
I will be getting my nexus 5 in February.
