I know I should have made this topic before I ordered but how does everyone feel about the htc headphones for the evo? Are they good or not?

I wouldn't know. I didn't get any HTC Earbuds with my EVO. I have a friend who just bought a Desire and got a set. Curse you HTC! *shakefist*
Yea no ear buds with my evo either.
I think he probably means that he purchased the HTC earbuds. They look pretty cheap to me. I bought jlabs j3s. They are in my opinion very good for the cost.

they're probably just decent. the vast majority of headphones made by non-audio companies arent that crisp.
Any recommendations for earphones?

I'm not a COMPLETE Audiophile, but Skullcandy products have always done me well, although I'm sure there are dissenters among us
Bearing in mind I can't listen to my FLAC on my EVO, I may be off. :-\
I got some Etymotic Research er6i which sound way better then the ipod and palm pre headphones I have. You could find er6i for $70 on ebay. I also have some q-jays, which have dual armatures (speakers) per ear bud. These sound even better then the er6i. The q-jays start at $180. I'm no audiophile either.
I've always liked Skullcandy as well, a lot of the newer headphones and earbuds have a cloth cord (like a shoelace) and built in mic which is great in case you get a call. I'm looking into a new set of lowriders for my Evo.
Use loss earbuds from Walmart .20 bucks lifetime warranty included .I'm a bass freak they do the job

I also have some Skull Candy earbuds and I am very pleased with them. I dont use them often ,but they sound just fine to me for when I do. I just cant justify spending big bucks on something that I rarely use, so I dont. I bought mine at a TJ Maxx (name brand discount retailer) and paid around $8 for them

I recommend iBeats, they are the cleanest sounding earbuds I have ever heard. They come with different sized earbuds (8 different sizes) so that they will fit comfortably in almost anyones ear. I just wished the track selector on the mic worked for more than just an iPhone
Well I just got these HTC ones from amazon. Lost an earbud within five minutes lol they are really big in the ear. They stay in but leave just a slight pain afterwords. They sound decent but I am seriously having bad luck with earphones and headphones. My skull candy bulls headphones work great though with a mic.
PS I already have a slight static in the right ear, it seems to fade with louder music but I just got them so that's annoying.

I have some $10 Meelectronics ones from newegg = meh
Etymotic e6i = amazing but no mic, and they dont sound as good as the next ones...
Etymotic HF3 = all the buttons dont work for Android (designed for apple) but the HF2s are the same earphones and do work with android (supposedly) Edit: they just dont have volume buttons like the HF3
JVC marshmallows = okay for $10-15
Koss ones for $20 at wal mart = best of the lower price range, but not that durable
Skullcandy ones I got for $59 at a ski resort with built in volume but no mic = still regret losing these, they're my favorite but dont sound that great.
Sennheiser
Hi, after reading a lot of articles I got the Sennheiser MX 471 ... I posted a review and a picture with description too ... MX 471 .... Just make sure that you order from AMAZON not from other retailers on Amazon.

Haha I hope this is a joke. The Dre Beats are made by monster, not a high quality audio company. I have heard no less than 3 sets of the earbuds, and countless sets of the "studio" ones and holy **** they are terrible. My $150 Behyrdynamic DT770 Pro 80's absolutely kick the **** out of them for about half the price. More "boomy" bass out of my DT770's, actual crisp mids and highs. he studios are so so muddy, it sounds like there is a thick piece of foam isolating your ears from the actual driver.
The Earbuds are not as terrible because they still retain decent clarity but there are far far better out there.
I have a set of Klipsch S2 headphones that I got for $20 on an amazon special and they are at least on par with the Dre beat earbuds (which is sad cause I only spent $20 including free prime shipping). They have a play/pause button on em that works with my Evo and if you double tap it will skip to the next song, tripple tap to go to the previous song.
The klipsch S4i's, S5, and higher have integrated "apple compatible" remotes with volume control, and play/pause and fwd/reverse controls. Unsure if they work on anything other than an apple though.
If you ordered htc headphones i wouldnt expect anythijg better than syock headphones of any kind...Meelectronics is good for a small small budget. Depends on what kind of audio you're used to having but just don't get those heavily marketed brands such as monster because you can probably get the same quality from many other brands at a fraction of the cost! I personally have a pair of UE 10's its on amazon for 180 and I would really recommend it.
I really like my zaggbuds 25 bucks if you wait for a 50% code.

I kinda feel like a dumb ass cause I ended up getting the dr dre earphones for $100 and although I really like them they aren't blowing me away. Funny thing is that when used with my brother's iPod they DID in fact blow me away, but I'm using the EVO so eff my life...even Power AMP was no match.
I need headphone with good sound quality
What is your budget?
Without breaking the bank, I like this one:
http://www.amazon.com/Woodees-IESW100B-Inner-ear-Earphone-Microphone/dp/B001U612R8
If money is no object, get this one:
http://www.amazon.com/Ultimate-Ears-Isolating-Earphones-Microphone/dp/B001DCBBHK
I personally own both, except the TripleFi's I have do not have a mic. Superb sound.
My budget is 30$
But I need headphone with mic.
The two links provided have mics but cost more than $30. If you have a TJ Max or Marshals in your area, they will have a variety in the $20 range. Radio Shack will have some Sonys or Auvios in the $30 range. I just do not know if you area going to find great sounding with a mic for $30.
On my vibrant, I cant even use headphones with a mic. Anytime i do, it randomly starts and stops the music...

I need Samsung original headset (in ear) but from where I can buy it ?
You can find original samsung headset with mic on ebay. They are original and cost $21. Plus they have a very good sound quality
Is anyone else bothered at the fact that is not acknowledging any of the posts so far?
Thanks for replying
I was under the impression that an upgrade was desired. For Samsung options, this place has them cheap. I can attest they are a reliable dealer.

An alternative
I said something similar in another post, but Amazon has some very high quality mic'd in-ear monitors (correct term for in-ear headphones, apparently) for $49.99. On an audiophile review site, they were rated a 9/10 value buy... when they were $80. They're the MEElectronics CC51P in white (black is still set at $85. Don't ask me why.) I've used the non-mic'd versions and the sound quality was amazing, even when moving from a pair of Klipsch S4s.
Only catch is the cable, while good, is typical of most in-ear monitors. Namely, a little thing. The rest of the MEElectronics line has much thicker, more resilient wiring, but they also have mic problems.
Hello xda!
I'm getting a galaxy nexus next week and heard it has one of the best "soundcards" in it, and wanted to get an "higher end" earbuds than the ones that comes with it. I have beyerdynamic dt770 pro 32ohm already for home use, but im looking for earbuds that I can use on the bus/plane and when training/running. My friend has iBeats on his htc sensation and he is pleased, but sometimes he calls random people because its only meant for iphone I think? So this is what I want
- Good quality (durable)
- Good sound (Listen mostly to hiphop, dnb, metal)
- Good bass
- Volume control (dont REALLY need this)
- Compatible with android
- Price not above 200 usd
edit: Also they have to be noise cancelling. Does anyone know if the volume control thing support spotify? Thats the only music program I use and it would be really great to change song, pause and volume +/-
I'm currently using the Zagg Smartbuds. They sound great and are very durable. Its also designed to sit around your neck which I find works great for running and workouts.
It has a built in slider volume adjust which works with any phone and a single button/mic for answering calls and music control. I haven't tried spotify yet but when I use poweramp I can pause/change/play all my songs with the one button.
They are noise isolating earbuds and come with various bud sizes. They are about 50$.

Thanks, but dont seem to find Zagg here in Norway Ive heard good things about Klipsch image s4, they cost about half of the ibeats here in norway.
I'm using the Klipsch s4a model (designed for Android) and I love them. I've also swapped out the tips with Comply T-100 foam tips. They're much more comfortable, better noise cancelling and bass.
+1 for Klipsch S4's, been using them on my galaxy nexus and love the sound.
If you're looking for something instead of beats you should try ultimate ears triplefi out. I got them not to long ago and they've been working great so far.
http://www.amazon.com/Ultimate-Ears-TripleFi-Isolating-Earphones/dp/B0019RBJOE/
I use a jays one there nice but lately I have been switching to the stock headphones for the in line mic. But I think ima look into the s4a
If you want something cheap, but yet has damn good sound then I recommend the ZAGG Smartbuds. ZAGG always has 50% off coupons through their Twitter so I got it for 25 bucks. If you want something a little better and a little more expensive, then the Klipch (I think I spelled that wrong =/) is your best bet. I believe they're under 100. Good luck!
i have the Pure Pur-1000 and i've gone through many earbuds and these are the best sounding kind.
make sure you break them in correctly though-- i left mine playing on a playlist overnight-- takes around 20-30hrs though for a full break in.
I have used the Kilpsch Image s4's as well as others in here and agree they do sound great. The problem I ran into with them was getting them to fit comfortably. They are IEM's meaning the go into the ear canal. I have Sony MDR XB40EX model ear buds. They are great if you really like bass, and the overall sound quality is pretty good.
you wouldnt think this company would make great earbuds but you have to check them out best sound for the price $50. ifrogz timbre pro

I would rather go something cheap.

I've been using the Yamaha EPH-100. I would say its one of the best under $200. Do dig into head-fi and check reviews
These won't win any awards for looks, but they sound DAMN good for the price. Give all those higher end buds a run for their money.
Monoprice 8320
No noise cancellation, but they do isolation pretty good.
If you really like bass, but want clarity and natural sound and don't mind paying a little bit more I would totally recommend the Hippo VB (Variable Bass). They have the deepest bass of the bunch, or at least appear that way because they lack a distracting midbass hump. Their bass is also quite controlled and rich in texture, more like a good full-sized phone, and clearly performing way above its price range. You can read some reviews of people who had them (and know what they are talking about) here and get them from ebay.
Have a good one
It depends on what sort of sound you're looking for. I, for instance, appreciate the lush midrange (vocals, many instruments) of my Thinksound Rain headphones. They're durable, too. I accidentally put them through the washer and they came out just fine.
Thinksound's TS-02 would be a good model for a cell phone. I'd buy them myself if I wasn't already happy with my Rockboxed Sansa Fuze.
The guy who owns Thinksound, Aaron, is amazing. I sent him an email complaining that none of the included eartips were a good fit for my ears, and he contacted the factories in China to see if any others could be special ordered for me. The answer was no, but it's the thought that counts.
I don't know about the Klipsch. But I had the Zagg ones and decided to use my stock ones from my old xv6700 instead, just wasn't a fan.
I use skull candy 50/50. Great sound and bass. Just wish the in line mic would work.

I've been using Meelectronics as of the last year or two. They have lots of great low priced ones (my current pair is $10 and are on par with $40 pairs I've owned). They also have some higher priced ones in the $50-$80 mark, and from looking at the reviews, they're worth that much as well.
The company is all over Amazon. Check out a few pairs of their headphones and some of the reviews, and if you go with them, enjoy!

I have Sennheiser IE-8 and they are really good earbuds. Before you ask what is the best, you should give us some info on what's your budget, and music.
Will you be able to spend $400+? Are you looking for custom made IEM and can spend $900+? What interests you the most, bass, mid, or high?
Are you an audiophile at head-fi? Maybe I know you.
So I ordered some headphones from nomorerack.com in which these beats were being sold for 45 bucks. The site doesn't sell fake stuff so I'm not worried about that but I saw the htc tab in the photo and was like waittt
I remember they used to pack beats in their phones earlier this year so I was wondering
Do you guys think this is a restocked Htc sold beats?
Yeah i know these came with the Rezound... They are pretty nice but nothing incredible.
Same headphones that came with my Rezound two years ago. Yes, I still use mine everyday. Below is a picture of them today. I would say that they are better than JVC Marshmallows, PS Vitas, Sony In-ear, Skullcandy Ink'd, Ear pollution in ear, ect. I've even tried the $60 klipsch Image S4 that are world famous for their sound and price, and even they were pushed aside as not being my favorite. Also bought $130 Bose SIE2 then returned them later that day because couldn't compare. UrBeats by Dre are my everyday go to headphones. With the right tips to fit in your ear, I haven't heard a pair of headphones yet that i like better. If anyone wants to suggest a pair for around $50 that they think are better, i would gladly buy them and try them.
http://imgur.com/WONAwnB
Thanks for affirming my assumption! I was concerned a little that they were really old but I saw new ones in the store and they were exactly the same (and 60 bucks more!)
I also have tried the S4 and was pleased but not convinced as my favorite headphones. I have been having bad luck lately and used the HTC m7 ones until they are giving up. The S4s seemed to have great sound but the construction quality and the way they stuck out my ears made me irritated.
I am glad I picked something good for a great price!
One question though.. Would you think that getting Comply foam ear plgs would be a good idea with the beats? I had them for the S4s and they significantly (emphasize significant) increased the sound quality. I havent had any time to use the beats yet but was gunna order them if they seemed worth it. The rubber ear plugs always fall out or just dont sit right in my ear and I just wanted to know your opinion and if I should get some foam plugs.
These headphones came with the Dell HTC One deal which is what I got.
What's everyone using for IEMs? Looking for recommendations in the sub $130 range.
I highly recommend the Triple Driver Headphones from 1More
http://www.amazon.com/1MORE-Triple-Driver-Headphones-Microphone/dp/B01A7G35S0
As someone who owns 35 different pairs of headphones. These are a STEAL at their price and offer really quality playback.

Unfortunately I have not experienced any RHA products myself but they definitely look really clean and would match the HTC10 well
For anyone who's looking for cheap buds, the LG Quadbeats 3 sound pretty good. They actually sound better than my Bose IE2s because of the great isolation on a high quality source. They came with my G4 and sounded so cheap. Perfect example of the 10 making cheap buds sound amazing.

I have the rha ma750, bought it a few years ago. I do recommend it for the $130 range. I also have the rha t20.
Sony mdr ex750ap is also very nice with many colours and great sound.
Vsonic gr07 classic and gr07 bass are great as well.

A decent pair of earbuds, the Klipsch R6. Can't go wrong with, especially if you buy the Isolation Comply Tips. You'll get some great sound from them. That's the combo I use.
Got the RHA MA750 a few days ago. Very pleased. Phenomenal clarity and balance overall. A little less bassy and warm than I was expecting though. Although I've read they get better after a good break in period.
Thinking about trying the Shure se215s just to compare.
Still keeping the MA750s regardless though, between comfort and build quality they're well worth the price.
i have shure se215s, very nice, detachable cable, bit bass heavy but very durable.

Just received these myself and the sound quality is phenominal once you get the set dialed in with the right tips.
However, I think the button functions dont work properly, or mine are broken. Do your button controls work properly?
Top button works for Vol+
Middle button is stop/start, 2 presses nothing. three presses next track
Bottom button does nothing.
Im gonna contact 1more but am curious if yours work ok.

When switching from an iOS device and an android device I often find issues for the controls to work properly haha.
Most of the time the controls work flawlessly hopefully it gets better overtime. If you get a response back let me know what they say! Also, I agree so much haha these headphones are absolutely amazing and for the price they are absolutely amazing!!

I will post here if they reply. I didnt come from IOS though. My last phone was the LG G2. Oddly the controls work on that phone, except for skipping back one track.
I'm guessing that maybe HTC didnt stick to a standard implementation.
So Im assuming your button controls dont work either? I cant tell by your reply if you answered my question?!?
I am a proud new owner of a Carbon Gray HTC 10! (coming from Failsung S7)
My sugestions for HTC 10 (of the same color) users:
AKG Y50 Black
AKG N20U Black
AKG K450
Sennheiser HD 2.20s
Philips Fidelio L2BO/27
Philips Fidelio S2BK/28
Senfer UEs (Dinamic driver + balanced armature)
KZ ZST (Dinamic driver + balanced armature)
A short update on the 1more Triple drivers. Support said that the inline button issues were fixed for android on their titanium color set. Apparently the black/gold have not been fixed yet (old stock?).
They offered to switch them out for me. Sucks cause I dont really want that color, but for $100 I want them to work properly. And they sound incredible so I'll deal.
For now, if anyone plans to buy them, get titanium color if you want the inline controls to work properly. I asked them on eta for corrections to black stock. Will update if I lean more.
I came from using sure's, xiaomi piston 2 and dual drivers, and sennheiser momentum in ears. These 1more triples shatter those in comparison of sound quality. I mean its not even a contest. Ive heard $1,500 cans that sound worse.
I'm unsure of how good they are, but the HTC Hi Res Audio earbuds and JBL Reflect Aware C Earphones are both 40% off if you sign up to join Team HTC. I bought the Hi Res Audio ones for less than $20. They should be here today (only took 2 days to ship).

Yes -.-
my Hi Res earbuds broke on the right side after 2 months....
Then i bought the Xiaomi Hybried IEM. For 18$ really nice stuff.
I think they're also designed by 1More.
Shure Se-215 with aftermarket cables from ebay that allow the in-line buttons to work on Android. They have a in-line mic as well. The se-315 are supposedly great too, a bit more $.
I also actually love the Amazon buds. $15 and they are great. Fit is nice, buttons work and in-line mic, sound is decent and I love that they are not sound isolating. Great for walks and hikes where you'd like to hear traffic and such.

Yea. 1more currently makes all of the xiaomi piston range and dual drivers. I have them all. Its what convinced me to try the triple drivers. In comparison to the dual drivers the triples are really 10x better sound quality. Not knocking any of the xiaomi range. At their price points they are all the best there is in the low end $ range, ......by far. I personally think the Piston 2's are fantastic, although base heavy.
As an aside, I also have thr JBL reflect and the HiRes HTC's. Guys, they are not even close to being anything near the right quality to take advantage of the DAC and amp on the 10. Rhey sound horrible. I'd rather use my non aptx photive bth3's than those.
My replacement 1mores's should be here tomorrow. I'll update on whether the controls actually work right on the 10.
