Headset
Hopefully u`re not gonna laugh, but my oppinion is that the stock headphones are the best for my GS2. I have over 30 pairs of headphones +/- control talk on them varoius brands (Beats, Bose, AKG, Marley, Skull...etc) and i`ve paid ****loads of money to buy them. maby my ears are a bit old ) but i`ve been testing and testing: best music fidelity i get with the stock ones. Of course after hotroadding them on some headphone amps with powerfull signal. I personally choose them over Monster Beats, but that just my oppinion.
Anywayz if u wanna buy a new headset don`t do it online. Go to the store and phisically try them. That`s how u get really happy

I don't like in-ear earphones, I prefer the classic ones.
I think the best are in the third link u posted

I'm actually looking to buy a new pair of the stock ones. I loved them, but I lost one of the ear bud fittings.
I went to a Bell store and they said they'd be able to give it to me for free but apparently they're on back order and have been for a while.

Best ones:
Over-ear: Philips O'Neill line, indestructible headphones, its hard but you can buy cords with controls for specific gadgets (example: iPhone on apple store) -> http://www.amazon.com/Philips-SHO95...KKUS/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1339635632&sr=8-1
in-ear: The beats by Dr. Dre, with his incredible beauty -> http://beatsbydre.com/products/showproducts.aspx?startBanner=2

Klipsch S4A will be the best bet. Good mids and highs with plenty of bass response. Also it is excellently priced for what you get. It cannot be faulted. I used to have them but recently upgraded to a pair of Shure Se215.

i got the noisehush, when i receive them i give you my opinion!

I have the normal S4's, so without inline remote, because I use them in combination with a Sony Ericsson MW600. Not quite like my Sennheiser HD598's but they give a pretty good seal and are perfect for when commuting or something.

curious
im wondering the same on a good well priced headset. preferably in ear with good bass and acoustic. im currently using lg hbs-700 which are nice bluetooth headset that sits around ur neck. but lacks bass. and samsung in ear buds that also lack much bass.

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 :
http://www.skullcandy.com/shop/hesh-carbon-red-mic
http://item.mobileweb.ebay.com/viewitem?itemId=251095803295&index=12&nav=SEARCH&nid=39055734734

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!

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.

[Q] Which of these earphones are the best for HOX?

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?
1. Sennheiser CX 500
2. Sennheiser CX 400 II
3. Skull candy Ink'd
4. SoundMAGIC PL11
or your suggestion please

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
Dinos :good:

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

ok, in that particular price range it isnt so easy
If you would spend a little more you could take a look at the "Shure Se 215" ( about 95$ ) or at the "Ultimate ears triple fi 10" ( about 150$, but they are just amazing, if not even the best in that price range ).
Just read some review and I´m sure you´ll find the right ones, but believe me, stay away from Beats

Using Sennheiser CX 300 II and they are great. Really nice bass and i listen to more or less the same as you

If you go for SoundMagic I hear the PL50s are very good value.

Totally agree. Stay away from Beats, maybe think about saving for the Ultimate Ears triple fi 10. (I got mine for 115€ thankfully ), Shure is supposed to be good too.

I found the best solution for this budget! German seller! Very famous in Germany

They stopped making Sennheiser CX 500. One of my earphone started losing sound, so when I sent it back, they gave me the cx400 ii. Haven't really tested it that much, but so far they are pretty good.

I suggest that you will try the Jays a-jays one+, great quality + mic and even an android application to program the button commands!

Didn't see how much you want to spend
Yes, Shure absolutely rock.
Share se 210 right now you can get $149 for $29. Old model but really good
Shure SE 215 $100 -
Shutre SE 315 - $180 worth itv
Vsonic gr07- $180 audiophile's really like.
Hers a really good site for earphones from inexpensive to $500
But seriously, if anybody on the ION forum wants a pair of shure 210's that retailed for $149 two years, you can get for $29.99!
Unopened 2 yr warranty
BTW - I'm not the seller Nation wide retailer
I have 6 pairs.
Sent from my HTC One X using Tapatalk 2

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

fully agree - the SE215 provide a decent balanced combination that is tough to beat in that price range.
I use mine everyday and am very happy with them.

Best Earphone For Music !!!

Hello Everyone,I'm looking for a good Earphone as i mostly use my Note for music.The Earphone came with my note is good but it's not that loud.So i'm thinking of buying a new one.I heard a lot abt Beats by Dre.So i was thinking of buying this Earphone - http://beatsbydre.com/earphones/beats-tour/beats-beatstour,default,pd.html.But in XDA i saw some bad user review abt it that's it's not good for android phones.So guys i need help to choose the best one.

Beats by dr dre pro 'nuff said the tours are way beter then sennheisers ie8 and that is their top of the line model but get the pros on amazon they are cheap

where are you from? if youre from a place in which there are a lot of imitation (fake) items and beats is one of them, dont bother buying it because half the price that you pay for it goes to the name.. not for the quality of that said earpiece...
If you really are a good ol' time audiophile in which sound quality comes first, go for sennheiser, bose, marshall.. (not in order)
I bought a sennheiser cx-300 II and boy i did not regret it a bit!

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.

Klipsch S4A
+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.

you can even go for jabra they are also nice

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. Others have mentioned the klipsch s4 which are also very good but i have no experience with how they sound on the note. My rec is for the brainwavz

I recommend you read this article first.
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

which brand is very good for Samsung galaxy S2?

I use the Atomic Floyd HiDefDrum / HiDefDrum with Remote
http://www.atomicfloyd.com/hidefdrum
I've been using them for about 2 years and love the sound, they've been good on the S2 and provide crisp clear highs and not headache inducing bass. I'd say they're about a 7/10 on bass (on levels of overwhelmingness) so its comfortable for long listening but satisfying levels of lows.
They have fabric based cords so its pretty good for avoiding tangles and relatively easy to detangle.
They do come with a 1 button answer/end and microphone however it is about 14 inches from the earpiece so letting it dangle the other end does say the phone call seems to be a bit quiet until I bring the microphone closer

Sorry guys coming from Nokia Symbian to S2 android I had a set of Monster Nokia purity in ears bargain on eBay.
Have to say they sound awesome on the S2. And work well for calls too although the volume/ answer inline button does not work with the Galaxy.

I thought there was no hope for the S2, when it came to playing my mp3's. The i300 sennheiser work excellent, not too expensive either!! Highly recommend.
