Best earphone for HTC One X - HTC One X

Hey guys, I'm about to buy a HTC One X and I'd like to know which earphone you think it's the best for this phone. I heard that some headsets are not compatible with HOX (buttons not working, for example).
Searching the internet, I found these two
1- http://www.ebay.com/itm/MONSTER-BEA...946119?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item5d367a5807
2- http://www.ebay.com/itm/Original-HT...301082?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item20cdb7629a
What do you think? Thanks.

Any beats you get from eBay are likely to be fake.
Also, beats are overpriced and mediocre.
If you go to the accessories section of the forum you will find headphones discussions with plenty of recommendations.

I have been using Logitech Ultimate Ears 300 and now 350.
Best among all the previous in-ear earphones I had.

I am rocking a-jays one+. Good bang for buck, nice design, comes with app

I'm using Soundmagic E10.
It's nice but I'm hearing some hiss noise which is kinda annoying. When I try it in iPhone 4 or iPad theres no noise like that,very silent. Wonder why...

Do you have any equalisers on, like beats?

I use Creative aurvana live, without any equalizers. If u like clean sound without +10db on bass, dont buy beats.
Nah didn't saw that u want only earphone

I already turned off the Beats audio. problem still occurs. I wonder if my handset has internal faulty for this problem.
the original earphone (coming from the HOX box) not recognize in my HOX now (it used to work) but it works on iPad and iPhone.
...sorry for OOT.

Headphone jack performance?

I'm considering grabbing one of these devices in a couple weeks when released on Telus. I will be using it as an mp3 player a lot and would like to know how headphones sound...has anyone compared performance to other devices such as the iPhone4? Thanks for any info.
There's been related threads about this already. Search will find them easily.

Well, pretty much the only thing I would want to change is the audio. It just sounds too flat. I got a message from HTC saying that they have to comply with EU regulations. It seems like they have a volume limit and a speaker without bass functionality.

Sound through the stock earphones is average at best, i bought a decent £40 pair of earphones and now the sound is easly on par with my mates iphone.

I use my DHD with the headphones it came with and my Sony MDR-XD100 Headphones and it sounds great.
With SRS on it sounds even better than my ipod

Stock earphones

Have you tried the earphones that the HTC One X come with ? With my last smartphones , I wasn't that happy with the overall build quality of the stock earphones , but today I gave the HTC One X earphones a chance .
I was really surprised after opening the plastic bag , flat tangle-free cord , the design is very elegant and sexy and you got a remote on the right side that can control music , calls , etc.
And an even bigger surprise , they sound better than they look. The bass is deep , but dosen't cover the mids and highs , stays on the background so you have crystal clear sound.
And the sexy and elegant design and great sound quality is not all , I use them now for 3 hours and I can't feel any discomfort or pain in my ear , they are very comfortable. If you use them for a long time you almost forget that you have them on .
They look and sound great , and the overall quality is over Nokia and old HTC stock earphones. I can say they are as good or better than the Apple earphones . Nice job HTC , this little things make the costumer happy .
Give them a chance, test them and tell me what you think. Sorry for my bad english .
How do you control music with them ? ive tried all ways to get this to work even using jays control app (or what ever its called) didnt seem to work with the stock headset, am i missing something ?
What i think?
For the Last 3 months i'ce ben using Sony xb500 and i Know it is no comparrison, nur the stock Ines are to Big and Sound likean old Radio. No Base, no mids and no noise cancelation.
I would go as far as say my 15 € akg in ears are far better.
Just my two cents...

I dont think the sound quality is too bad on them, I just have no clue how to get them top skip track pause or do anything lol
You can only make them pause and play with one press .
is there anyway around that ? or some good quality headphones that will control the stock music app from on cord controls ?
I don't think so , only with some third party music app maybe.
i found myself a good pair of earphones from ebay..i thought they was the real deal..beats tour by dre...alright for that price was to good to be true..anyways i had a sneaky feeling they were fake and when the box came and i opened them up my fears became true....but to my amazement the sound quality is the best i have heard so far and for the price i gave it was a good deal i say...so till i save up money for a decent pair this beauty will do it for me..stock earphones are good as well but i prefer the in ear ones
All I want is to be able to skip track with the stock headphones annoying to have to get the phone out everytime I want to skip.

now thats handy, if only the X's where in ear canal type. if you want to spend £10 to £15 theres these options. i brought these off ebay, listen to music at work for long time 5 times a week and they are a good option to replace me recently broken £90 BT headphoneshttp://www.htcaccessorystore.com/uk/p_htc_item.aspx?i=229925&phone=229814.

will these in ears work with one x??
I think you can do a long press and a double press with power amp which will skip tracks

The HTC's are the worst and most uncomfortable headphone design I've ever tried, Sound quality is poor as well though they are quite loud but the louder you go the worse they sound.
That said I prefer they include ****e like that because it keeps the overall costs down then you are free to spend your own money on phones of your choice.
If they included beats headphones (which are also ****e) it would add cost to the phone and I'd still use my shures or sleeks anyway.
The stock headphones are ok.. however I was expecting Beats urBeats Headphones to ship with the HTC One X... after all it is the Flagship phone!

Fake Beats Solo Headphones issue with One X

I own a pair of knock off beats solo headphones and they don't work on the One X. No sound comes through.
They work with everything else though strangely (iPhone 3/4, Vita, PC, laptop).
Does anyone have any idea why not with the One X? Possibly something the guys in China have put in the headphones to emulate the real ones conflicting with Beats in the One X?
My beats knockoffs work with my HOX..

Yeah I had some fake beats that worked with the hox. Maybe the sound driver conflicts with the hardware. I can send you a pm of the most reputable seller of fake beats in China if you want.

Best advise is to get a real set of beats or something better.

If you guys aren't about wearing headphones for showing off, etc. (Dr. Dre Beats) - check out Beyerdynamic DT770 Pro 80 headphones. Notably claimed one of the best basshead headphones and are a reasonable price.

I had those Beyers, they were really bassy with better sound quality than beats hands down. However, they are pretty hard to drive and a skimpy One X DAC probably won't do well at all with some 80 ohm DT770s. I'd suggest some audio technika pro700 mk2, they're bassy as hell and easy to drive.

The connection between the phone and the headphones is analogue, the phone doesn't know about the headphones. If they are indeed plugged in and working they will produce sound. I would suggest that you try plugging them in through a known working extension cord to see if the problem is the connection between the phone and the headphones.

Nah mate it's okay. I'm mainly using these as my sen HD595s broke 2 months back. These beats were picked up on holiday on the cheap and actually sound good, this is the first issue I've had with them.
I'll get another good pair of cans one day. I'm using Audeo PFE 122's for my earphones out and about, just prefer to use cans in the house some times.

Good idea will check this out with another cable.
is it normal that I connect several random headphones and it always says beats on even if they're not beats headphones?

Does beat work with google play or do we have to use their player?
Connect your Dr.Dre headphones to the phone.
While the music is playing, go to Now Playing
Select Sound Enhancer from Menu
Title Sound Enhancer has a Dropdown - ur beats or beats solo.
Toggle and see if it works for you

But you could buy £2 headphones for £2 which aren't fake Beats headphones. Does having beats headphones that aren't beats headphones a 'thing' now?
just to let you know
there are pricey 100% replicas in quality and sound of beats sets, including packaging the only difference is the serial don't go into the website
these are most likely being outed by the same factory

Apparently it is a thing now. Personally I wouldn't touch the things, but then I wouldn't pay full price for the benefit of the distorted sound of real beats either (my One X came with Solos and I wasn't impressed). Style over substance is not a new thing. The perceived correlation between cost and quality is not new either.

HTC Stereo Headphones

I am wanting a pair of white HTC headphones. I tend to use these when I travel because if I lose them I do not worry.
I can't seem to locate the model number of these. I have a pair of RC-190's already but I want to hear the sound difference.
Any help would be appreciated. I could call HTC but it's probably faster to get a response here

I want those headphones in particular that is pictured on the website.
Thanks.
get solo hd there awesome with the boom amp
I have a set of shure se530's and other ones. I just wanted a pair or pairs of lesser cost ones to have around.
I happen to like the oem HTC headphones for some reason. Sounds better than the beats audio i have too.

I've actually been wanting to get a pair of their stereo headphones myself, or the Bluetooth one. I found the OEM ones that came with the HTC One to be pretty good, although I broke my Klipschs. It may have sounded better because my expectations were low. If anyone has those stereo ones or the Bluetooth one please do let us know how it is.
These htc specific earphones are version / model "240" when you search. Will be on amazon. Sound is ok, similar to the bundled ones.... But the price is good and these and the urbeats are the only ones that are fully compatible with this phone as far as my research can tell (ie only these have ability to skip track and change volume - something I have sorely missed until I bought these to use with my phone.

Headphones recommendations...

Hey guys,
i love the stock in ear headphones but i'm struggling as to why samsung and apple can do remote control but HTC seem to only have 1 button!
I'd like to control volume, and also skip songs and go back, etc.
Anyone got any recommendations of headphones and how to get that functionality?
Cheers
klipsch makes a few or you can mod any iphone headphones you have on hand.

Hi,
It will be hard to find an headphone with the remote control.I see the Beats headphones made for the HTC Sensation,it have 3 buttons specially made for HTC Devices.You also have the official HTC headphone with 3 buttons on the htc accessory website.
Most of others headphones on the market will be for Apple devices,it have 3 buttons but only the "accept/reject call" work on the One.
If I had to recommend you a good one,try the v-moda m80 silver(Smaller) or the V-moda m100(Bigger).it looks great with the One with some silver metal builds quality.The sound quality is great even you 're listening hip hop music or classical.It comes with 2 cable:1 for the Apple devices and 1 for Android devices(just with 1 mic button) and it's kevlar made,very hard to break
Look for :v-moda crossfade M-80 white overview,review on Youtube for the official videos
By the way,there is also an app called:"headset button controller" on google play store,it was great and I used it on my old HTC models,but didn't try on the One.You can assign some function on one button like double/triple press or holding.

yes a little pricey (I believe around $170) but they're bluetooth, meant for working out but sound amazing, ~8 hour battery life, lifetime sweat warranty (emphasis on working out), and best part...no chord attached to your device(s)
Yamaha eph-100. Tried many and these are amazing in ears and almost unheard of. Reason you will like them is they look like the htc one machined beautifully.

I use the LG Tone+ Bluetooth ear buds. They're 70$ and totally worth it. And this is coming from somebody who hates earbuds.

As far as my research has led me to believe, if you want to control volume and skip tracks, you can look into urbeats or if you want ok sound and full control for £20 then the htc 240 earphones are good and compatible... They are like the bundled ones, but with 3 buttons. Look it up on amazon.

Fry's has these for $140 this weekend. I'm trying really hard to resist. That's more than I've spent on what I consider my audiophile headphones.
I already have the Plantronics BackBeat GO, which has a similar form factor. They fit well, are mostly inconspicuous, and have good audio for a non-AptX headset. However the 3 hour battery life and lack of multi pairing are keeping me from putting them on unless I'm doing something where the cord gets in the way (for me, mostly lab work). I considered the LG Tone+, but I think they look doofy and I question the quality of the earbuds.
