has ne one with a cappy tried the beats by dre studios with this phone... got a pair for christmas so don't know if i should return and buy another set
I'm a pretty big audiophile and to be honest, they sound good/decent but they are WAY over priced in my opinion. Bose are they same way, they do sound good but there are less expensive options that sound as good or better.

If you're interested in headphones... you really need to check out Head-Fi.

Bose, Bose = Buy Other Sound Equipment at headfi forums .....
I actually have a pair of the in-ear diddy beats (not sure wtf diddy had to do w/ them...but their pink which I like ) and I think they sound great! I get my hair done weekly and they are amazing when I'm sitting under the hairdryer. I mostly watch TV shows or movies with them and when I use that 5.1 audio option I can hear everything... The price is crazy ridiculous but the sound is pretty damned good. I can't imagine how the over the ear ones sound.
I say if they were a gift for christmas, keep them.. but that's me and I'm all about the free stuff

its nice that that you think the dr dre sound good, but im dead serious, take a pair of dr dre beats listen to them then plug in the denon d2000,s i listed, i will bet you a 100 bucks after hearing the denons you will blow up the dr dre beats out in the back yard with a M80 firecracker.......
The op never mentioned which pair they have, the entire line is called beats by dre. There's the over the head pro's and studio's, the in-ear tours, the diddy's, the gaga's, the bieber beats.
You kinda need to tell us which ones you received in order to make a proper suggestion.
I like nice high quality headphones myself, but our local audiophile here seems set on getting you to buy a giant set of expensive headphones that might not fit your needs. Giant studio phones are awesome, but do you like having to carry those around in public? Are you looking for a set of in ear buds? I'd rather not suggest something you don't need.

I've used my beats studio with the captivate a couple times, but I made sure to keep my iphone as an mp3 player because the captivate just can't compare. The 5.1 option is pure b.s. imo, they just tweak the eq to make the mids sound distant.

Does it really matter which ones he has? They're all insanely overpriced, look and feel cheap and sound horrible... You can grab some headphones for about half the price which will blow them away in terms of audio quality, same thing for the Bose... Anyone who says the Beats (or Bose for that matter) sound decent is not an audiophile, not even close.

the captivate and all other SGS models have a very capable Wolfson WM8994 codec with excellent output capabilities. in fact, that's the reason that supercurio is working on voodoo sound, to better use the SGS full potential.
Beyerdynamic DT-770 80 ohm model. Far far superior sound quality with better quality bass for $200. Use the extra $100 for an amp.

I got some white colored over the ear awsome looking and sounding wesc headphones for 50 bucks. They sound in my opinion, really crisp with really good bass and a big bang for your buck compared to my BOSE's Quiet comfort 3, which sound better but not 300 dollars better theres a difference but compared to many others out there, the wesc BEATS them out rite in price, value and quality even tho I prefer my BOSEES the name says it all- quiet comfort (but really loud)

You don't need to be an audiophile to appreciate good sound. The reason why people say Bose or Beats are good is because they don't have any experience with anything else. They have gone straight from stock earbuds from their phone/iPod/etc. to $150+ Beats, so yes, it would be an obvious improvement.
Are there better options? Of course, but how would you know if all you've ever heard are stock crap and Beats?
Anyway, we can't blindly say what he should get instead. We don't know which Beats he has (which determines price range) and what he wants (in-ear, over-the-ear, open, closed, etc).

Hey
For those not wanting to miss good music quality while they're not at home, I started this thread.
1. Use Poweramp or another music player from the Play Store. The standard Players often don't have a multi-channel equalizer, so these programms are worth their price.
2.Good in ear-earphones cost more than 150$. So don't have long pockets and short arms.
I made very good experiences with Shure Headphones. They start at around 100$
but you can also spend 500$ if you are audiophile.
I bought the Shure SE315 for around 160$ and im very contended.
Please share your Experiences with other brands or models here. Thank you.

Westone 1 Use with the Grey Memory foam, comfy, low profile, the best overall for me daily IEM and motorcycle IEM, great for all genres of music... Country to dubstep = ) or Yanni to Cradle of filth... so basically everything- Good seal = awesome sound some of the other inserts that came with it didn't seal as well and wasn't impressed at first.
Shure EC5 Most $$$ Awesome, Huge Size, Best Sounding IEM I have ever used!!!
Shure SE215 Not bad Bassy, lack of overall Mid and High CLARITY- Comfy
Senheiser Adidas MX 680 Great for running/exercising- Overall a flat EQ w/bass hint
Sony EX310 Great sound hated the overall fit to clunky...
Klipsch S4 HATED THESE? OMG why do they get good reviews??? AHH!!!
I saw the thread you started in the i9000 forum. Does Poweramp interact directly with the DAC? I believe Voodoo Sound skips the Android channel mixer, using the i9000's Wolfson DAC chip directly. The sound is amazing. I use it straight no equalizer (personal prefs), but you can salt+pepper to taste with DSP Manager. This seriously made the i9000 the best portable media player I've ever owned. Bonus that I don't need a headphone amp, too.
I used to have a bad headphone habit. I'm pared down to three now, and only two get regular use. $100-$150 is a good benchmark, but don't neglect the handful of great headphones under $50. There's other threads about that in Android and i9000 accessories, but my faves in that category are the Koss Porta Pros, Sennheiser PX200, and the discontinued Sennheiser MX500. They started a new line, and I'm using Senn's MX471s for daily beater headphones now, and they sound great after burn-in. In that in-between period, a lot of people seemed to switch over to the Yuin PK3.
In the upper end, I love the Sennheiser HD25-1. It's one of the standards for TV/radio news for its great clarity and noise-blocking. There's a great little company out of Brooklyn, too -- Grado, for open headphones. They did a collaboration with another 'boutique' hi-fi shop, Allessandro, and made some great headphones. I have the MS-1 and it doesn't get as much love as it should. Way more airy + super clear mids and highs, and you can hear amazing separation of instruments. The HD25-1 is good there too, with a stronger but clear bass.

I used to use the Senn PX200 and then the HD25-1 in an office to block out noise, sometimes not even plugged into anything. Both are great headphones. The HD25 is now called the HD25-1 II, and *should not* be confused with the cheaper HD-25SP. For a little more on the 25-1, you get a lot.
The stock earbuds that come with the Gnex aren't half bad. SHURE makes great earbuds.
Agree with Shure. I'm in love with my SE215.

i can't belive someone brought beats into this thread, but i use sol republic amps HD when out and about and sennheiser something at home
Tough mission
I'm still waiting for a good mobile headphones. The problem is you can't try them before buying so it makes the searching efforts frustrating.
i was able to try those earbud beats and they are good. They're mainstream and sometimes an eyesore seeing everyone wearing them, but in the end of the day, you want some good sounds, the beats can help you with that.

I kind of disagree with this statement.
Good in ear-earphones can easily be bought for 80euros (or around 100$) and up. I am currently owning Sennheiser in-ears for around 60 Euros (don't ask me about the model)
Also Klipsch does high quality in-ears for a very reasonable price.
Secondly, it highly depends on your Hardware. My Desire doesn't serve as a decent MP3 player at all, as you can hear so much interference with the antenna.
Arrow Best high end earphones for mobile use
nokia earphones and samsung are of high quality
Skull crusher from Skull Candy. its very good earphones!!
i will buy when i have the money
I like the Marshall Major headphones, really good heaphones in my opinion. I`ve just got them today!
I just broke my jvc's and I want to get one of these. I love METAL, ROCK, DUBSTEP, and ANYTHING WITH GOOD BASS/BEATS
Which have the best durability and have the best sound?

Jawbone ICON
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

try ajays four..freaking awesome earphones mate
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.
Could you tell us how much you would like to spend ?
Also you should check head-fi.org out, its a forum about headphones and audio in general, I´m sure you´ll find the answer to your question there

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

If you really are a good ol' time audiophile in which sound quality comes first, go for sennheiser, bose, marshall.. (not in order)

Sorry that will not help in any case to find some good Inears
Don't get me wrong your advice is just crap. Especially Bose sells overpriced models which are not worth it.
If you can catch up an Ultimate Ears Triple fi 10 I would recommend that. They are sometimes around 120Dollars at eBay or Amazon. The Beats are around 150 and look better, but the sound of Triple fi is just outstanding for that price. The other upside, I haven't seen any fake of them. UE announced a new replacement for them so try to get them. (Review: http://reviews.cnet.com/headphones/ultimate-ears-triple-fi/4505-7877_7-32492509.html)
But as someone wrote before if you just need some Inears, the S4i from Klipsch is also no bad choice. The difference to the UE's is huge. But everyone has to decide how much sound and price matters. The S4i has a lot of bass, but is not as clear and sharp sounding.

yepp, be aware they are not as hip as the beats. They are big, but the sound is for me better than any 300 to 400 Dollar In Ear.
I have à pair of Shure SE215 and think they're great. They cost around 100 dollars, but I see them on sale allot (I bought them for 50 bucks).
It's not the absolute best, but reasonably priced and great for use on the go.
PS. the Note does not have great audio output anyways, so buying top quality JUST for the Note seems pointless to me.
PPS. I think they sound way better then the Beats by Dre
Just my 2 cents

Beats? Please no. Go over to head-fi.org and ask your question there. Tell them you're about to buy into the beats hype but decided to go do the sensible thing by asking people around you first. There's a lot more to the world of headphones than what gets advertised. And with that, go listen to a pair of beats (doesn't matter what kind, all of them sound muddy anyway) THEN listen to, say, a Beyerdynamic DT1350 (which is in roughly the same price bracket), then report back.

+1 on the Klipsch S4A. Integrates well with Android if you install the app. Bass is pretty good, especially if you use the Beats app.

Aiaiai track headphones are great. That's my daily commute headphones. Retro, not for everyone but sound is great ~80us. I have the ATH-50M which are awesome studio level headphones. ~120us these are for work when need to drown out the office noise. Just order Sony xba-bt75. Suppose to be one of the best bluetooth earphones. Kinda expensive. But amazon has them on sale now. Should be getting them this week.
The audio dac on the note is very bad. I do envy my iphone ownimg friends when im listening to music. However i have found that brainwavz beta headphones are pretty good when used on the note.

First, Beats is just an over priced brand with so-so sound characteristics.
If you are really looking for best sound you should always pair your phone with a DAC & External Amplifier (DAC only if the phone is compatible, at this moment iphone and samsing galaxy S3; I am waiting for Note 2 to show up so I can test if it works with my FiiO E17)
If you listen OUTSIDE / OFFICE look for CLOSED headphones. If you listen in your HOME look for OPEN headphones.
Most of top end headphones require an amplifier. Check FiiO (they are very good and a good bang for your money)
If you just want a great pair of cans with GREAT sound and very good value look for Audio Technica ATH-M50 ($159) video here
WAY WAY BETTER THAN Beats. And cheaper.
For In Ear Monitors I prefer the Westone 4R. The sound is simply amazing without the need for an amplifier.
Hope it helped. Best

Just depends on how much you want to spend. I have a pair of Sol Republic Tracks HDs that I've fallen in love with, and they're roughly half the cost of comparable Beats products. The earbuds (that I haven't had the chance to try) are roughly $40.
I have the JVC XX HA-FR201 ear buds with mic and they are perfect. So cheap and yet produces a lot of bass. I got them last year for $10. Still working up to now.
If you're looking for bluetooth you can't go wrong with the BluebudsX. They are a bit pricey but sound absolutely fantastic. Lightweight, battery lasts a good while, and best of all...no darned wires. The BluebudsX paired with the Viper4android sound mod=eargasms.

Sounds about right. Cheapest I've personally seen them go for is $20/pair. But they do have extremely good clarity and bass output. Probably the best bang for the buck in the business.
+1 for the JVC mentioned above I have the none mic version, still awesome sound
Any advice about not "in-ear" headphone (just earbuds with mic)?
Anyone got suggestions for headphones under $20 for Canada? I've spent the last 2 days looking online and can't really find anything good.

Please read my guide below on the matter when you get a chance.
The type of earphones/headphones you should buy depends largely on your musical preference, budget, etc. The earphones I love every day may sound rubbish if you listen to a lot of instrumental. Likewise, my musical preferences wouldn't sound good on headphones without significant bass presence.
Don't buy Bose, Beats, Skull Candy or any celebrity endorsed headphones. You can get far better quality at half the price.
Also, please answer the following-
Budget:
Music preference (genres?):
On-ear or in-ear:

Reddit (r/headphones) loves these

Don't shoot me for the suggestion...

I love these.
The sound...is good. Almost great. If you're going to shell out $170 though, you can get better SOUNDING headphones.
But I got these probably a year ago...maybe a bit more. Still love 'em.
Great build quality. I actually sent them through a washer (derp) and after drying for about a week...tried to power them back on and they've had no issues...and this was a few months ago.
Why these?
Sound is good. If you've heard/owned Klipsch S4s...these are on par with those (a cheaper bud, but great sound for the price on those as well) but with much better lows without drowning out the mids and highs.
Do you use your headphones at work/working out?
Perfect. I love these, mainly, for this reason. I listen to 'em at work or while riding my bike...
And that annoying snag and slight pulling that always seems to eventually wiggle one or both buds out after a while is obviously gone with them strapped around your head. And these things STICK into your ears. They're also really comfortable (for me). I actually got my sister a pair for Christmas last year...and the "wings" or whatever they're called bothered her ears after a while...so she just wears them without and claims no issues. Personally I tried it and they tend to fall slightly out of place for me.
And another huge bonus...
The Voice-Dial Volume-up Track-Skip (longpress) functions all work without issue.

Don't wanna pay too much.. max 20-30 euro !
I'm speaking about In-Ear Hearphones (with microphone), no bluethooth!
Music preference? I like to listen many italian songs.. like Max Pezzali, Laura Pausini, Tiziano Ferro, Modà, Marco Masini !
For that price just get some skullcandies, not bad for the price
If you gunna spend more don't get shures. Build quality sucks!

wow !! the Jaybird have impressive collection , however those prices are extremely expensive ( at least for me ) ...
Any cheaper ? ~ $30 ...
I'm searching something with (thanks jRi0T68 for the template)
1: Budget = max 50 $/€
2: Genres/Musical preference = Pop/Rock
3: Type of headphone = earbuds (not in ear) <--- very important
4: Functionality = with mic
5: The audio rig as whole = (doesn't matter)
6: Source material = (doesn't matter)
7: Build Quality = (doesn't matter)
Now I I'm thinking to buy Apple Earpods.
I wasted loads on all sorts of head phones. Finally went for some bluebuds x. Best set I ever bought.

I didn't need to use an adapter. The package says its android ready and it has one button for music controls.
