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?
Swyped from my HTC EVO 4G via xda app
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.
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.

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.

Message toooooooooooooo short.
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).

What is your price range? I mean at a certain price you can only sound so good. If you are willing to up your price I can find you a deal that offers a lot of 'bang for your buck' as they say haha

I got a pair of jvc marshmallows. They are really good quality. Maybe the best quality ive seen for under $20 in-ear headphones.
Now I also got a pair of Sony MDR-XB500's. The best headphones I've experienced so far! The Sony's are around $45-$50, maybe cheaper now, since I bought mine over a year ago. They arent in-ear, they are actually very big, but lightweight and comfortable. Just a rant about my favorite headphones =-]
But ya, You should try DBPoweramp. It has alot of support for audio types, like mp3,mp4,m4a,flac etc...
You should also try using lossless audio music, it takes up more space but is definitely worth it if you want the best audio experience.
System of a Down in .FLAC is the most amazing audio experience i've had in my short 19 years (well 20 now, since todays my bday)

+1 to the JVC marshmallows, i found i got better sound and they were a bit more comfortable when i switched the marshmallows to the tips from my old apple IEMs, you can get the tips online pretty cheap.

Almost no reason to waste space with flac files if you are going to use 20 dollar headphones. Not saying it's bad to buy cheaper head phones. We all have a budget but if you truly want to get an amazing audio experience these are really goo in terms of price and sound:
http://www.audeoworld.com/en/US/Products/PFE/AudeoPFE11.htm
And they are having a promotion where they give you a free pair of 99 dollar headphones with it. Insanely good deal for amazing IEMs
I know these aren't IEMs but the Grado sr60 headphones are incredible for the money. You will hear stuff you've never heard in recordings before.
Wow, I've been waiting for a thread like this. I'm a headphone addict, and have several different sets of IEM's, over the ear, on the ear, buds, etc. I've got cheap dinky ones and ones that were over $100. It all depends on what you want to get out of the music. This is vital, and if you have any headphone afficiando friends, they will be able to help you out. Also, as with any headphones, please break them in for 12 - 36 hours of constant music so that they can loosen up.
If you're talking about IEM's, the first and most basic thing to understand is that you get a good seal. Without that, every pair of IEM's you audition will sound like a box of crap. There will be no low-end bass, you'll have noise bleeding in from the outside world, and your view of IEM's will quickly get ugly. Try different tips, although I'm a big fan of foam tips, even though they have to be thrown away after a while. However, I've found that if you put them in warm (not hot, this will melt the glue that holds them in place) water for a few minutes, give them a good shaking, this will break up the earwax that builds up on them. Squeeze them dry with a towel, give them another couple hours to completely dry out, and BOOM, you doubled the life of that set of foam ear tips. I've had some last 3 or 4 times as long as they should have this way before they finally began to fall apart.
That being said, I'd start with something around $40 - $50. Altec-Lansing makes a model called the UHP-336. These Altec's are not bad at all, and are a good introduction into IEM's. I'm also a fan of Maximo IM-590's. I don't understand a lot of the bad reviews for them, I found them great for occasional listening.
Once you get used to them, and want to move up (you probably will), look at something like Etymotic er-6 series. I've got a pair of the ER-6i headpohones, and they are very good mid-range cans. Very nice step-up from the Altecs and the Maximos.
I finally splurged years ago and got a set of Shure e3c's, which aren't even made anymore. However, these IEM's are hands down my favorite headphones ever made. They cost me $110 second hand, and I use foam tips for mine. They've lasted me for over 8 years, although I wasn't using them for two or three of those years while I was trying out others. However, these IEM's have some of the best clarity I've ever heard out of any headphone I've ever owned. I hear nuances of music I didn't know existed. I've put thousands of hours of music and audio through them, and they sound absolutely breathtaking. It will be a very, very sad day for me when they finally die.
I hope I haven't given you information overload. This is something I am nuts about, although I don't really delve too deeply into the specifics and technical details of what each IEM can do. I only know what my ears like. =)
I travel a lot and lose earbuds frequently. So I try and get the most performance for the least amount of money. That being said I am currently using JVC Xtreme Xplosives and I am very happy with the price point and sound quality at what I consider a very low price point.
I've probably had over 30 different pairs of earbuds going back 10 years, and the Bose ones I have now are by far the best.
Maybe they are over priced, but the small plastic attachment that slips into the top part of your ear makes them well worth it. I use them while I workout and it helps a lot.
The sound is also very decent.
The price is anywhere from $69-$99/pair, which is probably extremely expensive to some people, and a bargain to others.
I have yet to find out whether they offer lifetime warranty, but a friend of mine sent his back and received a brand new pair. Do that once and you've made back your $100 instantly.
Because we all know that cheap earbuds go kaput quite often.
Soundmagic pl series any day. I got a pl11 for £20 and tbh it was better than my £50 seinheiser cc 300 ii.

Abit too expensive for me.. and i don't really like in-ear buds =/ Wait is it possible to just use my current headphones and still use the phone to speak through?

yes. i do that all the time as well as use my truck speakers with the tape adapter as my speakerphone.
I use a pair of hd sound buds I got from 5 below for, you guessed it $5. They are the best I have seen. The sound is real good and if they break I just go get another pair. They have a mic for calls too. Everyone I call says I sound real good through this headset. Cant beat $5 for a good set of buds w/ a mic. I have paid a lot more for sets that were not as good. I keep a spare set around b/c I am hard on headsets.
I use audio technica's clip on earphones, really comfortable and portable. The cable is lined with cloth, so it is a lot more sturdy than plastic or rubber, and it is near impossible to get it to tangle up, even after being tossed around in a wadded-up mess for a few days. Best headphones I have ever bought. They are a little on the expensive side, and they don't have a mic, but I listen to a lot of music, and I definitely fee like I got my money out of them.

Might wanna check out Amazon's selection of Sennheiser earbuds right now. I've always trusted in Sennheiser for great quality at a great price.
http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_s...nheiser+earbuds&rh=i:aps,k:sennheiser+earbuds
These ones:
http://www.amazon.com/Sennheiser-MK...YMF4/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1323525004&sr=8-1
are marked down from 80 to 23! And some of the reviews say 70 was a great price for the quality. The next model up retails for 120 and is on sale for 30.
Or, go to Target and get a pair of Skull Candy ink'd earbuds. They are 17 or so, and sound comparable to much more expensive sets. Was really impressed by them for paying under 20. And the noise cancellation is great, too.
I just bought a pair of sony sweet little buds:
http://www.amazon.com/Sony-MDR-EX33LP-BLU-Style-Headphones/dp/B001RB24KK
They were 20 or so, and the reviews on Amazon are pretty positive, but I don't think they sound as good as the Skull Candies at all. So they are going back to the store
I find that the urbanears bags works well with a mic for 30, or the klipsch s4a sound pretty amazing for 100. the klipsch app works pretty well for controlling headphones with one button.

The Klipsch s4 is pretty bass heavy though. The phones I prefer for compressed, on the go usage are the Klipsch S2 if you can find any variety of them.

Koss Porta Pro's. Sound great, nice sound balance, and pretty darn affordable. They have a lifetime warranty, and I believe I saw a version with a built-in mic.
I find the klipsch s4 to be reasonably balanced, but the bass is better tuned. they are squeezing a lot out of the high end.
I think that was a very complicated way to say "i agree."

What's Bluetooth phone for great quality at a great price...? Incredible 2.
I use the Skullcandy Titan model. For only $40 they're amazing. I see no reason to go above and beyond and pay $99 or $150 for Beats when these are awesome and compare to the same quality output. They're totally worth the 40 bucks.
For daily music enjoyment riding mass transit (buses/subways or trains) - a pair of in-ear, noise-cancelling headphone/mic is what I carry/use (picked up mine from a Brookstone sale 2 years ago, iphone compatible) and it is great.
The key is to install/enable/use DSP Manager on the ROM if not stock - I can fine tune the music/video settings as needed for various boost & equalization.
For the occassional oversea/long distance air travel, I take the full-sized Sony NC headset with the cups - I just don't feel the need to spend hundreds to buy into the Bose brand.
YMMV, of course.
I use the Beats by Dr Dre ear buds. They are around $75, but the difference between these and a $5 pair is I wont have to buy a new pair next week. These baby's last.

I like my cheap headphones. The sound is as good as I need it to be, they have lasted for two years now, and if I do lose them or break them I can replace them without breaking the bank. I use them on my motorcycle, in the sauna, while I work out, work in the yard, etc. I don't know that I would be comfortable abusing an expensive pair like I do these.
For me they are just like sunglasses, the cheaper they are the more I like them and the longer they last and the more expensive ones get lost, stolen, or broken right away. It's like they have an odd niche in the market for being backwards or contrary to what one would think.

I'm sure most of you guys own a decent earpiece for your phone's entertainment.
Let's list out your babies here!!
*I don't have one yet, but I got my eye on Beyerdynamic XP3 and going to get it soon, or I'll appreciate it if one of you guys can recommend me some other IEM earpiece at that price range*
I recently got some Sennheiser CX150s because I was on a budget and they're my second pair of headphones (I have over-the-ear ones but wanted a pair that was more portable too).
If I'd been able to justify it, I would have gone for MEElectronics' A151. But with the CX150s on sale for $17, I just couldn't make myself. :silly:
I've got Shure SE215's as well as Bowers&Wilkins P5 on-ears. The Shure's get more use despite being 1/3 the msrp (I didn't have to pay retail for my P5's), because I find the sound to be more balanced for my tastes.
I am using my stock LG earphones..
I got ATH-T500 for my laptop and I'm truly satisfied with it.
Going to consider myself of spending roughly same budget on an IEM earpiece.
I've tried some Sennheiser headphones, they sound great with reasonable price, but am not sure about their IEM...
Same goes to Audio Technica, although my babe is one of them, but I heard that their IEM are like sh*t...
Seen a lot of Shure though, but I never get any hands on with them... guess that it's time to pay audio store a visit.
