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.
One X to rule them all.

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

Friend áudio technica cks90, the Best earphone, extreme noise isolation and great low mid and high frequency is perfect

I have audio technicha sj33, quite good for the budget.
I believe I don't have hi-fi ears but at the shop beats sound good

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.

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

Klipsch S4/S4a
Sent from my GT-N7000

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

If it does not have to be in-ear there's a decent headset from Philips: SHL9705A/00
There might be better headphones around, but there's only few Android headsets
(with microphone and control button and even an corresponding app) out there...
Been using it some now, and they're ok...

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

http://www.jays.se/products/a-jays-five#a-jays-five-android

Its hard to recommend headphones to somebody else
First of all whats your budget?
There are lots of imes, search for theheadphonelist and narrow your list of headphones in your budget
Google for head-fi reviews I've found a good resource there
Good luck
Ps. I have the meelectronics a151p they sound great

I use the original Samsung's headphones.
Good quality I think.

Koss Porta Pro! Still the best price/value choice. You will love it!

Yep, really subjective topic... Though S4 mini's sound quality isn't that great, so pointless to spent a fortune on headphone. Sennheiser CX 300 II price has come down a lot since its launch (like US$ [email protected]), I would grab a set of those. Though S4 mini may not be a good match up, it will reveal the poor sound quality. There's a super low impedance easy drive Yamaha I have which will cover the lack of mid-low frequency of S4 mini, but I can't find my set right now, will let you know the model if I find it.

Agree, I use my earphones only as hands free while driving I don't like the Bluetooth ones, but for music I use a fiio x3 as a player or dac in the computer

I use the teufel aureol fidelity (ca. 100€) but for 34€ you can buy the Sennheiser Cx300 II they are the best headphones you can get under 50€.

I've read a lot of positive feedback on this: Klipsch Image S4A - II
Sadly, don't own one yet, but looking forward to

I have myself Jay's Two, they are just excelent! + Comply foams (http://www.complyfoam.com/) it's perfect combination.
One can even drive a motorbike with them

Sennheiser HD 25. They still can be described as portable for that amazing sound quality.
Though I expect you are looking for smaller and cheaper ones.

HTC RC E240 Replacemnet Earbuds ?

I have a pair of HTC RC E240 ear trumpets
Can anyone tell me what 3rd party brands of earbuds are compatible are compatible with it.
At the moment I'm using some old Philips buds, and if I pull them out of my ear too quickly, the buds are left behind :laugh:
I've not used the original buds and they seems too flimsy.
Thank you.

Yes.

Almost all earbuds will be compatible, i lost my original earbuds but i am still using seperate earbuds that came with it on sennheiser cx400 cx200 , philips o'neill and samsung s3,s4 earphones. (Not with all at the same-time ) so reverse is highly possible with a 1-2$ earphone or you can buy them seperately at ebay,amazon etc..

Lost Hi-Res Earphones

Its a long shot, but I was wondering if anyone had the Premium Hi-Res Earphones that come boxed with the HTC 10 that they don't use and are willing to sell?
I've searched eBay and Amazon to no avail and HTC website doesn't offer them for sale.
I'm genuinely gutted I lost them, I've only had them 3 weeks!!!!!!! :crying:

Do yourself a favor and just scoop some Sennheiser instead

No earphones come with the HTC 10.

Just buy Shure SE215 cause the HiRes earphones by HTC are total crap. I used them once and said OMG they worthless.

Yeah unless you can find someone who hasn't opened them and are willing to give them away for <$30 when they haven't even been priced yet by HTC. I'd say your chances are slim.
+1 buy yourself some real hi-res earbuds you won't regret it.

I personally love my shure se215s.

How much are you willing to spend? If you want a pair of budget IEMs then I would suggest the Xiaomi Piston 3. They can be had for less than 20 and are some of the best in the price bracket, assuming you don't get a fake pair. They also have an inline mic which play/pause and volume buttons that work with the HTC 10

+1 to this.. I bought the Piston III's and use them for conference calls while on the road away from home, as well as music. Solid pair!

You could always grab some Senheiser IE80's I have a set of Shure SE215's, and they aren't spectacular, but they are good.
