Headphones

Just wondering what headphones everybody uses. I have a pair of Klipsch S4's and they sound good but they are kind of broken. I have to bend them in order to get the sound to work. I am in the market for some new ones, so I'm looking for some recommendations.

I have a pair of skull candy's (i don't remember which model but they're in-ear) and I use my Apple headphones most.

I use Bose over the ear headphones.

Sony professional series over the ear headphones. Most comfortable for mixing long sessions and best drivers I've heard in anything near their price range.

I really like the Shure SE 115's Sound great and block out noise.

I use skully candy headphones lol they get the job done and right now can't afford anything too expensive. Looking to get some Dre Beats soon though

I have a pair of Seinnheiser CX 500-B ear buds. They sound really nice. Good highs and excellent lows. Plus they're dirt cheap.

I have had a couple sets of V-moda headphones and my experience has been really good.

These are what I use now. The reinforced cord is awesome for durability.

Better Ear Phones for G3??

My stock earphone are brokken. I went to a shop but the person says that they are Rs.450. I wanted to know wheater there are any other head phones that work with g3 and have better sound quality.
I tried one skull candy headphones but they weren't as good as the Samsung ones.

EDIT - Thank You everyone for the suggestions. I bought a pair Skull Candy ears phones for Rs.1199. their is a significant increase in quality and the bass the really great. Never the less thanks for the suggestions....
PS. The skull candy headphones I mentioned above ,which weren't as good as the sammys, were for my iPod. It must be because of that I did not get good quality output.

My stock earphone also broke, so i got myself a pair of these

The build quality is very good and the sound quality is great.
As i use those and am satisfied, i can recommend.

I tried replacing my stock earphones with an iPhone one and also a DJ headphone (just testing), but I faced terrible sound quality with both, even compared to the stock. Is there some specialty to the G3 jack connections?

Beats by dre for £23.95 and u believe these are originals ? Originals cost over 100$ so please stop promoting knock-offs.

Did you notice that the price of headphones is higher than a new Galaxy 3?

Good earphones like headphones cost money, of course u can get new earphones for under 10$ but do you really want to use them ? I was just trying to help by saying what i have and that i'm satisfied with them.

If you want cheap and very great earphones, so take the wavemaster pure.. the sound is great..

I'm one of those people that love music, so I'd recommend some average priced Sonys or Senheisers. You could probably pick up a pair of either of these for $50CAN (I don't know how much RS) but the sound quality is good on them. NEVER GET BEATS. THEY'RE EXTREMELY OVERPRICED!

sorry i came into this thread late, but skullcandy and beats headphones are way over priced and hyped so exaggerate certain parts of the sound.
the poster above was right with recommendation of sennheiser, also audio-technica are very good headphones and lower priced models can out perform other headphones at twice the price.

Which Headphone?

Hello,
I'd like to buy me a new pair of headphones (not in ear phones). I'd like this to have a mic and 3 buttons compatible with my Samsung Galaxy s2. It would be nice if it will be also compatible with other phones.
I've already looked the different Monster Beats model (nice design but performance/price not so interessing), and some other Headphones.
basing on your experience, which headphone should i pick?
best regards
elvan121

I like Skull Candy. Am a big fan of earbud styles, and these are the most comfortable I've tried of that kind and come with 3 sizes of buds to customize if you need to. Good price point. Many models also have a volume control for the headphone on the cord line - something I always look for. And I find they have good bass to boot. Just my opinion though.

You can buy the skull candy hesh 2.0 and comes detachable cord. And you can buy this htc cable with remote all three buttons work on galaxy s 2
Here is link for both of them :

I can recommend Sennheiser and Beyerdynamic headphones.

PLEASE, dont buy skullcandy(same for wesc, urbanears, beats by Dr.dre). The sound is horrible and the buildquality sucks. You can get way better headphones for that price! Get Sennheiser CX300 f.ex., they sound quite nice and the price is pretty fair. I would also recommend you to buy a pair of klipsch S4, pretty unknown but they have a brilliant sound!

List for Samsung htc sony (not sony erricson) and nokika lumia headset and headphones that work all three buttons & mic
- urbeats (inear)
- htc beats solo (on ear)
- Sony smart headset (in ear)

Update as I found some more

Buy Koss Porta Pro. They has great sound and lifetime guarantee.

FTFY. IMO, Beats are overpriced and overrated.
www.head-fi.org. Go there to research. I'd also recommend to look into Bowers &Wilkins headphones.

Sennheiser are the best earphones i ever used... Beats are far behind, it's only marketing..

Which headphones are u using?
because the ones i m using are cool enough ..the pmx 60

take Sennheiser HD228 its a cheap and great audio

steelseries. hehehe

I still couldn’t figure out all the fuss about $100 or so headphones vs average $20-$40 headphones. I don’t listen much of the music but when I do they pretty much sound the same to me..I don’t see much differences between lets say ones costing a lot and cheaper one. Only the way they feel in your ear is what I noticed..anyhow start with cheaper version and see how it goes is what I would say..

Sennheiser...

i'm not comfortable to wear standard headphone designs so i'm stuck with BH-503

beats earphones are best

I have read posts on loads of sites for the past week.. Had a pair of soundmagic e10's.. Brilliant sound if a little uncomfortable but for 35 quid... Brilliant. Also had a pair of sennys cx300ii... Ok not brilliant but had a good fit and not bulky. But just got my girlfriend to order me some klipsch s4i for my birthday.. Hoping for soundmagic sound with a really good fit. Seems to be what people are saying and for 60 quid its the most I would pay for earphones
Sent from my awesome S3.

I have S4i and find the bass to muddy out vocals a bit. The highs are also not superb, but other than that, very enjoyable earphones. I do prefer my Shure SE215's in all aspects, though. Of you could find those for the same price, like I did, I'd expect you to be happier with the Shure.

Galaxy lovers....what's your earphone?

OK, I hang out in the earphone forums, looking for those with sound quality.
What is your current earphone of affection (either you own or not)?

i like the one with good sound quality, good bass, very cheap, decent looking.

Was considering the Shure pro series, but my student loans said otherwise... ended up getting the ZAGG smartbudds from the people that make Invisible Shield screen protectors. The sound quality is fantastic, the buds stay in my ears, the weird 'hanging tight' cord config actually is fantastic. Best part, got them on Amazon for £25. Bargain.

Reid and Heath Acoustics (RHA) MA-350 in-ear phones. Excellent sound quality and bass, easily as good as my old Sennheiser, and only £30 from Amazon.

I have been using Shure SE215's for a while now. They are the best earphones I have ever had, I love them. They go for around $100 on eBay.

I did not find any other ear piece better than my Bose IE in ear. Using them from past two years and sound quality is great for both calls and music.

Currently using either my JH Audio JH13 Pros or Westone ES3X. Some of the best IEMs you can get. If you value sound and isolation, I'd recommend even the cheapest of IEMs from westone or JHA over any earbud or earphone. There are some even cheaper IEMs from smaller companies that have gotten very good reviews on head-fi.
When I don't want wires, I use a Motorola SF600 w/Comply tips.
Awesome bluetooth earphones that support Apt-X. With the comply tips they have thundering bass and clear mids/highs that rival some mid tier and more expensive wired earphones I've tried such as my Phonak PFE122, Phiaton MS 400, and V-Moda Crossfade LP. Bass is so strong I actually have to put low freqs into the negatives in the EQ to balance it out, after which they sound incredible considering I've never thought any BT earphone/headphones sounded good.
As far as headphones, the only one I've tried and kept that could compare to the 2 IEMs listed above in terms of sound and isolation is my Beyer Dynamics DT1350, although the new Sennheiser Amperior has gotten my attention lately and costs about the same as the DT. Supposedly slightly better comfort and sound, so may try it later on.

not really a fan of the in ear types, skullcandy hesh 2

I workout a lot and love the Bose in-ears. They stay put and sound great. Not too expensive either.

Sony XBA-1's, they've been amazing so far, sound clarity is amazing and the bass is quite clear and not muddy.

Im sorry man but Skullcandy is one of the worst headphone brands. They buy noname crummy chinese headphones slap their branding on them and sell them for a profit. I have tried 4 different versions and they all sound terrible and the build quality sucks. Dont waste your money.

That is your opinion, I've compared beats to skull candy side by side and personally for the price and the customer support I get from skullcandy I would take them over beats any day. Now to your comment on them buying knock off headphones and putting their logo on it, do you have any proof of this? If you have only used there 20$ head phones yes, they are cheap, built cheap, and not meant to last 10 years. I personally got the SkullCandy Titans and adore them. The speakers can handle any type of music I push through them and, being that the buds are made of metal they last a very long time. The best part is, if anything happens to them, like one side stops working, skullcandy will replace your headset for free. It is a very easy process to get them replaced too.

Sure...I'm using the beats audio which I got threw pimp my Rom-acid audio would also work and the amp I'm using is only a fiio f5 which is just enough to give the volume a boost and clean the sound up.

Also make sure the headphones are not copys,
Because there is a world of difference between real and fake.

Dude you compare skullcandy to beats both of which are overpriced and not nearly as good as other brands. I'm sorry but I am an audiophile, have been for years. I have extensive audio systems at home and in my car, so I know what I am talking about.
http://www.head-fi.org/t/470384/skullcandy
This is THE forum for sound quality, so if they say they suck then they suck. Sorry man, but it's great that you are pleased by their headphones, keep buying them. Also I have owned a set of Titans, I friend gave them to me last year and they are terrible. One of the headphones has lower volume than the other and compared to even my low end set of Sony's they are trash.
With Beats and Skullcandy you are paying for the name and nothing more. Anyone who knows anything about audio will not buy either of these brands. I personally have studio grado headphones and they trounce anything else I have tried. Sure they might not look as good as the others, but they sound immensely better.
I'm sorry but you shouldn't have to replace your headphones. The only time I have ever had my earbuds break is when I tear the cord, the brands I buy have never had one of them go out. That is a sign of shoddy construction.

Shures are great for sound quality but not for bass, so if that is what you are looking for then you might want to try Sennheiser or Ultimate Ears (though they are owned by Logitech now and may not be built as well) or Sony. FIIO amps are good, but be careful where you buy it from because there are crummy knockoffs out there being sold as the real deal.
Klipsch is good too, just check out the Head-fi forums and look for what you want in the sound. Many headphones sound good, but don't have enough bass for people's taste.
