I have been looking for comfortable and noise-isolating earbud replacement tips. I have tried a ton of them, but only found comply foam tips that work the best. Unfortunately, they are not very durable and I am once again looking for a good set. I have also tried sony hybrids, klipsh ovals, some amazon brands too.
Can anyone recommend a good set of silicone or gel ear bud tips? I listen to music while at work, so i need a durable set.
BTW, this is for LG tone ultra HBS-810.
Thanks.

I would just wait. The only real good item that you will find on Amazon is the Barely There case from Casemate. DO NOT buy the other Casemate cases because they have pulled them from their site because the bottom cut out for the Micro USB was off set. The main thing that I am waiting for are the docks and some good pouches to show up on Amazon. If you want something right now then I will recommend the Klipsch heaphones, they are the best ones that I have owned but they aren't cheap. Of course if you are one of those people who break a lot of headphones then stay away from these. They are the only ones that have oval shaped ear buds, I think that they patented the idea.

+1 On the ear buds. I have the Klipsh Image S4, which are basically the same except for the microphone/button. They are amazing! Audio fidelity is superb for in-ear headphones...

Oh OK then you don't need the Android model because they are they same, I also have the same one as you.
I just bought a PS3 controller, which comes with an HDMI cable, and a MHL-to-HDMI adapter. I also have a USB OTG adapter. Those are some accessories you might consider.
Any suggestions? Saw Belkin made one and didn't like the colors.
Don't mind if it's from China. Just want something that's decent. Didn't see many options.
there was a thread about this earlier.
I personally use the TuneBelt #AB85 (for phones w/ bigger cases like otterbox and such).
I tried the armpocket one that you get from bestbuy but it's super bulky, and expensive (39.99) and with a case on it, you get almost 3/4 inch of space from the screen to the plastic cover.

I'm gonna get a waistband and bluetooth headphones. Less bulk on my arm and wires on my neck.

I'm a gym freak and work out about 3 hours every weekday. Having gone through countless armbands I can confidently state that the NXE armbands are the best. They feel very silky without the bounce and most importantly, they look awesome on your arms. It comes on a two pick with white and black.
One drawback may the fit with the S3 as it is such a big phone. But if you have bluetooth headphones, it works great.
Reviews on Amazon seem to agree with my assessment.

I didn't quite understand. Does the S3 fit or not in the sleeve? And, I want to be using proper earphones not the bluetooth. Is this good for me or what?
what about the arm band that yurbuds.com make?

If it's proper earphones, then no. It's fits really snug but that's not the problem. It's that the earphone jack is covered by the closing lid.
I just got the arkon XL and I love it. Works very well fits the phone perfectly with either a small TPU case or none.
I had a Commuter case on my previous phone (Inspire 4G), and I was never successful in finding an armband that fit properly. If you ever had a similar experience, perhaps this will help you with your HTC One.
I found this item at Best Buy; check out your local store or other online sources if you're interested (sold out on their website):
Rocketfish™ Mobile- Armband Case for Samsung Galaxy Player 5
Model*RF-SGP513B-AB
SKU*6954057
Observations:
-The phone (with the OtterBox on) slides in and out of the armband easily.
-The power and volume buttons are easily accessible.
-The edge of OtterBox makes the armband's window bulge/curve outward. This is perfect for me, because it "floats" over the screen, meaning it won't stick to my InvisibleShield.
-The space between the window and the screen makes the screen less responsive.
-If you plan to use wired headphones, you'll need to cut a small hole to access the jack.
I use Bluetooth headphones during workouts; I have no need to physically interact with the phone so the decreased screen sensitivity and lack of a headphone jack opening are not problems for me. Your needs may vary.
Slightly off topic...what bluetooth headphone do you use?

Motorola S-11 Flex HD. Wraps around the back of your head.
If you're in the market for something similar, do not buy the cheaper S-10 model... The sound quality is terrible, and call audio didn't work with any ICS or later ROMs that I tried.

Not to dig up an old thread but I just found this thread while searching for an armband that would fit my newly acquired HTC One with a protective case on it. Figured I needed one since I shattered my last phone after pulling it out of my armband (without a case on it) at the gym.
I purchased the Ballistic SG1134-A085 SG case and miraculously, they had this armband at a local Best Buy and it ended up fitting perfectly. Thanks for creating this thread. I probably never would have found a suitable case otherwise, especially at the price!:good:

Glad to be of assistance. No more shattered Ones! :highfive:
Hmm this got me to searching my self another option little more expensive but looks soft. Even stats that's with Otter-box installed!
http://www.tunebelt.com/sport-armband-for-htc-one-with-otterbox-commuter-defender-case-ab88/
Just got one of these... pretty impressed.
I have had 4 cases so far (had a half dozen or so for my Nexus 4; none I was happy with) with my Moto X:
Otterbox Commuter: Too hard to take on/off, lousy buttons, slippery.
Amzer Pudding: Meh, buttons not so good.
Incipio Dual Pro: Love it.
Trident Aegis: This is one pretty beefy piece of silicone. While the plastic out piece is not as grippy as the almost candle wax feel of the Dual Pro, it has a better texture than the Commuter, and enough silicone in the middle and corners (with a nice little ear) to make the phone quite grippy, without it sticking to your pocket.
Not quite as easily put on/off as the Dual Pro, but much easier than the Commuter due to no outer hard shell going over the buttons.
Buttons feel just as positive as the Dual Pro. This is definitely my case for the golf course, hiking, and anywhere else I think it may get knocked around.
Hey man great overall summary. Would you happen to haircut any pictures of the phone inside the cases? Would love to see how they look.

Any opinions on the headphone jack? I run a Poetic case because I like the spacing of the headphone jack such I can easily plug into my car without taking off the case.

Headphone jack has a very easily removed cover that moves well out of the way. But the diameter of the case above it doesn't seem like it would support a wide connector (I can measure if you want).

Appreciate it. I went ahead and took pictures to give you a good idea. In terms of numbers: I'm hoping for around a 15mm clearance; whether it is at least feasible to trim the hole to make it so.

Oh no... unless that plug has an abnormally long sleeve, it would never fit.
Alas....my search continues.

Why is that plug so large?
You could always get a short extension cable with a smaller plug.

I have the Seidio Dilex case w/ holster, and really like the look of the Aegis case better, but the lack of an available holster makes it a non-starter. Does anyone know if the Aegis case works well (or at all) with the Seidio holster? The dimensions listed on the Trident web site indicate that the Aegis case is 0.15" taller than the Dilex, but that's probably from the "points" at the ends, not the center - where the clip would hold the case in the holster.

It connects to my studio headphones, a pair of Sennheiser HD555s. The original plug is 6.35mm.

That doesn't sound like a bad idea...if push comes to shove....I might just do that. The only thing that worries about that is the change in impedance from doing that. I'm sure I can compensate but I hadn't thought of it before cause I always got lucky with the cases I bought being able to fit the whole 15mm diameter.

I have 555's too. Great headset! But creating a short pigtail won't increase impedance. The 555 uses an OFC cable, so if you really want to keep it pure, make your pigtail out of the same stuff.

That is what I use now so I don't ever have to worry about it no matter what phones/case combo I'm using. I hated the idea of limiting my case choices just because the jack opening was a little tight.
I have a Trident Aegis for my Moto G and it is indeed a tough, rugged case that provides a lot of protection. I use it when I think the phone might get bounced around some. But, I found it too bulky for every day use. Much more so than I thought it would be. I ended up with an Incipio DualPro and find I like it much better for normal use. It still provides good protection but without the extra bulk of the Aegis.

The Ballistic SG1188-A065 SG Case for Motorola X Phone has a fairly large cut out for the headphones so it may do the trick. I manage to plug in the large socket adapter on the hifiman re-zero's, although sometimes I have to make certain they are connected snuggly.
Unfortunately the forum won't let me a post a link to show you how large the adapter is because I haven't made ten posts.
Try googling headphonia hifiman re-zero
I have the Trident Aegis case for my X. Bought it off of Amazon, new in the retail packaging for $20.00. The case works well & as expected. The only gripes I have I that the opening for the headphone jack is wee bit small for all of my Jacks & it collects dust like crazy on the rubber parts of the case. It also is harder to find desktop docks & car mounts to fit the case (thickness & the charge port covers get in the way).

I've been using Bose ie2 for a while now, I love the comfort and ease with which they fit. I just can't use the buds you jam into your ear canal. They never stay in. I don't like the intrusion. I just love the way the bose fit.
Anyway the wire coat is wearing away where it connects to one of the earbuds and I hear a popping sound when playing music. So looking for a new pair.
Looking to spend anywhere up to $100 for good quality, with comfort being most important. Are there any options besides Bose?
