Quality head phones

I am wondering whether its worth purchasing an expensive night quality pair of head phones for my new galaxy note?
I'm sure the sound driver on this unit is a Yamaha produce and its very poor and wouldn't produce high enough quality for top spec head phones anyway.
am I correct? I would like to hear your views!

I tested some earphones on my dad's Galaxy Note. (UE triple fi 10 and Super.Fi 4vi)
For mp3 format songs, a middle class earphone is okay...
In my opinion, HTC machines have better sound quailty

You can achieve a reasonable quality with the Note. Definitely not on par with other audio sources but this is what I do. Rip music at 320 bit rate.
Headphones. Try and make sure the ohms is under 32. Most portable are, but 16 ohms is better for the Note as it doesn't go naturally as loud as I would like. Then look at the sound pressure level. You preferably need a score of over 108db.
The top end sennheiser IE8 have incredible measurements. And consequently go loud and dynamic and punchy bass with ease. But they are very expensive.
I don't think the Note needs expensive cans, but don't buy inefficient headphones. They won't go loud and will lack dynamics.

I've got some mid range sennheiser in ears, and I'm extremely happy with the quality.

I fully admit, although I love music, I certainly wouldn't class myself as an audiophile, and may well have damaged my ears through the years, so they might well sound crap. For me they're fantastic

I use the Senn HD215 closed back units and find them pretty good from the Note for mp3 bitrates above 192kbps.

i have the creative x-fi headphones. the x-fi crystalliser improves the audio quality enough for me to be happy enough with it. it doesnt compare to the surround sound system i have in my room, but its good enough.

Thanks allot guys for the comments and thoughts on what you use. I will check your accessories out and go from there.
Many thanks from a new member you've all been really helpful

Neutron MP
Instead of rushing out to buy headphones, I would suggest upgrading the music player to Neutron MP, first.
The UI is not very good, but the sound quality is fantastic! Volume is increased to a point that will hurt your ears, if you want. I have compared it side by side on my Note and previously, on my Dell Streak 5. Neutron MP wins every time. The difference in sound quality is quite noticeable.
Finally, Dmitry, the developer, is very knowledgeable, extremely responsive to his forum or emails, and is constantly updating and improving an already great product. He has a SGSII which is very similar to our Note so he is developing directly for us!
I am a very satisfied user!!!

I used to have an iPhone and the ipod app really was easy to manage. I miss the double tap to go to next song and triple to go back on my note
And yeah, rather look into music apps than headsets

Does that player reduces the sound to half when you start recording ?
Will that player also switch off when I activate the camera ?

Depends on what kind of music you listen... Beats are a piece of crap for the price. I use a pair of Westone 4R, and even though I have an ipod video which is better for music than the note, the note is good enough, specially with playerpro.
The Monster Turbine are better than the Beats, for a similar price and same manufacturer. Otherwise, you can check Shure 840 for a full size can and medium prized or the ATH M50 for the best bang for the buck headphone out there.

[audiophile headphones]
Remember, all you need is
I got 2 headphones.
Sennheiser M550 (Bluetooth)
Sennheiser HD650

I have a pair of JH16 Pros from JH Audio for reference listening, and a pair of Shure SE530s for everything else.
The Yamaha DAC in all current Galaxy phones is garbage, so you might as well get a cheaper set if you'll only be using them with your Note.

I installed DSPManager and bought a pair of noise cancellation headphones from AblePlanet;
www.ableplanet.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=21&products_id=38
The sound is incredible!
PS: I bought from WorldWideStereo online.

Review of Westone W40 in-ear headphones w/lots of pics!!!

removed.

Have you checked to see if the cables are compatible with your UE900? It would be interesting to know for replacement/upgrade cables.

Yep, the same connector I will do a sound test to make sure it sounds all good as well. That would have been fantastic for those with Note 2 and custom cable that has Samsung volume and multi-function control. But the original Westone twisted cable is by far the best I have seen, which most likely will be a benefit to SE and UE users if you can buy it as an accessory.
Btw, that warm sound signature is really growing on me!!! And their design/fitment is so comfortable!!!

Excellent. Are these a keeper or review only?

Thank you very much for the review. I owned the Westone UM2, W3 and W4 for around 5 years now and I can´t be more please with their sound. I would like to change my W4r for this W40 but I am not sure if the sound quality is exactly the same. According to Westone they are but... :S.
I am also interested in the cable but as I use Android I don´t think it works with previous/skip song buttons. Btw, I didn´t know that they included 2 pair of cables, that´s a big bonus!

I tested the remote with Galaxy Note 2 and it works perfect!!! As a matter of fact, every iDevice in-line remote always works with my Galaxy phone. Volume up/down will not work, those are dedicated iDevice buttons with specific internal resistor values. But multi-function button always works for play/pause/call and transport control. By default, double-tap always skip the track forward. You can download free JAYS app for headphone control and in there configure and fine tune multi-function control to even triple-tap to skip back. Also, long press starts Google NOW.
But to be honest, I have been enjoying braided cable too much. Absolutely love it!!!! Plus, keep in mind since Westone changed the connector to "universal" rotating type used by Shure and Ultimate Ears, you have a lot of replacement choices. You can check out my UE900 thread where I did review of alternative cables from Lunashops. They are cheap and will not offer any sound improvement but will have dedicate android controls, like a specific one for Samsung Galaxy with volume up/down working! I'm also waiting for FiiO guys to send me RC-SE1 silver-plated audio cables that work with Shure/UE and now with new Westone W-series. Those supposed to offer sound improvement!!! Will review it as soon as I get it. Supposed to receive it together with X5 review unit
Regarding sound quality. I can't compare it to W4 model, but I can tell you that everything that I have reviewed (check out my full review link in the signature) such as ATH-M50, M-80, M-100, MOMENTUM, P7, COP, UE600, UE900, HF2, ATH-CKX9 and CKX7, M-Duo, ATLAS, and other cheap stuff - doesn't even come close in comparison to sound quality of W40. It's like a fine wine, gets better with more hours of burn in. The soundstage widened, the mids came up (still not upfront like UE900, but it's not as scooped as it was at the beginning), and overall level of details improved. What is amazing, the sound quality is perfect listening even to 128kbps mp3s directly from my noisy headphone jack of ThinkPad laptop.
I'm trying to get SE535 review sample just to have the final comparison, but I seriously doubt they will be better than W40 because everybody describes them as more upper-mids upfront and more neutral accurate bass. W40 has bass accuracy, even some sub-bass quantity (I guess dedicated 2 bass drivers), so both quality and quantity of overall bass. Not basshead type of quantity but intelligent quantity where you actually can hear it (missing link of UE900). I know I gushing about it, but they are just perfect where you have combination of both details and warmths.
Also, heard from Westone PR rep that W30 will be available soon. Of course, W40 is a perfection, but for $100 less W30 will be a good alternative.
If you are going to get W40, I would love to hear comparison between W40 and W4.

Thanks for this review, should be helpful!

According to Fedex I will receive the earphones tomorrow at 12pm, so let´s see if I can test both.

I now have both W4R and the brand new W40 and I have to say that I am very (VERY!) disappointed with the sound. Compared with the W4 they are less clear, with a deep bass. They sound more obscure in general, with less details... I hope it changes after a few hours...

Westone guys said that drivers between W4 and W40 are identical. Btw, when I first plugged these IEMs in, I wasn't as impressed either (after listening to UE900 beforehand), but burn in brought up a lot of details, and it continues to improve day by day.

Hi could you please elaborate/explain more about the W40's bass quality and quantity compared to the W4? I'm deciding between the um 30 pro and the W40 but I just can't do without a good strong bass quantity. Would you say that the W40s offers more kick and punches/ bass slam quantity than the W4? I just love that rich and tight quantity of bass the um 30 pro provide when i went to audition it, it gives me that superb kick and punches or what you can call a sweet bass slam with crisp clear mids and highs but that soundstage is pretty closed up which is the main part i'm worried about.

Sorry, unfortunately I don't have W4R for a comparison. I can tell you it has more bass than UE900, both in quantity and quality, it has almost the same bass as UE600 (in quantity, but NOT quality), and it has less bass than M-Duo, CX985, and ATH-CKX9is I tested. But those are 3 have more bass in quantity but NOT quality/details, and they lack overall balanced sound quality especially in mids and overall details across all frequencies. At the same time, UE900 is more surgically accurate in mids and treble, but it sounds colder and I get more ear fatigue after extended listening period. Since I can only speak from an experience of listening/testing/comparing those headphones in my review list and based on my listening preference, if I can only keep on headphone - it would definitely be W40. Btw, I'm talking to Shure guys and might get a chance to receive review sample of SE535 and SE215, keeping my fingers crossed. W40 vs SE535 with UE900 thrown in the mix would be a very good comparison. But I also very interested to hear SE215 since its one of the best values in this single BA driver category.
To be honest, when it comes to bass or any other sound aspects, it's always a matter of personal taste and the type of music you are listening to. I love Tyll's reviews on Innerfidelity because he always captures frequency response for every headphones he tests. That's where you can actually see an unbiased comparison of quantity in different frequency bands.

Thanks vectron, for your detailed experience! So based on your experience, how would you rate the W40 in terms of quantity/slam/kick/punches? (Poor/Below Average/Average/Above Average/Great Quantity)

Hi frozst, I see that you've both the W4R and W40, could you share your thoughts on the bass department as well? Does it have more bass quantity/slam/kick/punches than the W4R?
Also to all, between um 30 pro and W40, which offers more bass quantity/slam/kick/punches? I understand that the um 30 pro's bass is more forward sounding than the W40, could it be due to this effect that the W40's bass seems to be offering less slam? (Since it is slightly laid back in the soundstage)

[Q] Sound Quality of Sony MDR-NC31EM?

Hello guys!
I've been checking all the reviews possible and forum threads from all over the place, but I still can't quite get a grip about the quality of the NC31EM earbuds. I currently use JVC Xtreme Xplosives with my Z3 compact and although the audio quality is quite satisfying and too much bassy, I felt like It was lacking some sort of clarity.
Many professional reviews gush about the quality and value of the NC31EM, but I don't get if that is compared to $100 earbuds like the Beyerdynamic, or just compared to standard smartphone accessories.
So is there anyone who is actually using NC31EM right now and prefer it over more expensive earbuds? And how they actually sound in comparison?
Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Well, MH1c gets compared to 200+ dollars valued earphones. And NC31EM is even better thanks to the noise cancelling. So i believe those are amazing. I am a proud MH1c owner. It's perfect.

Where are these comparisons? IMO the NC31Em is basically a low-end earphone with a noise canceling feature, which jacks up the price a bit. The biggest problem with the Z3c in terms of sound quality is its pathetic output level, which guarantees any earphone will sound quiet.

I'm using NC31EM on a daily basis.
My regular headphones is a pair of Bose AE and I can tell that the NC ones from sony lack some of the high spectrum and it is accentuating the bass a little.
All in all these are excellent earphones for commuting or to use during flights or trips. I clearly recommend them.

I often play music on my Z3C when hooked up to 50 Ohm headphones, and I don't find the music to be silent at all. To note here, I find it loud when it crosses ~1/2 of the sound bar, your hearing might not be as sensitive as mine.

Recommended headphones

Guys, I bought the US HTC 10, so it came with no headphones.
Which ones do you recommend? I'm really interested in the Sennheiser CX 5.00 but I'm not sure if they're going to take advantage of the DAC. WHat other recommendatios do you have?
Thanks in advance.

I got the HTC "hi-res" earphones as I'm in Europe. They're very good for a bundled pair and I thought they were too bassy but then I set up a audio profile for them listening to frequencies and they sound fine. That function actually works!
I haven't listened to the cx 5.00 for a while but as far as direct experience on the HTC 10, I'm pleased with
-Sony EX650ap, same price range, quite a nice, refined sound.
-Sennheiser HD25 i-ii, sounds just lovely, get deafeningly loud but twice the price and not an iem...
-UE 700 really takes advantage of the dac, so maybe another dual driver like the Xiaomi Hybrid or One More?
This phone is even able to drive my HD600s to acceptable levels. I'm tempted to hang on to my Tidal hi-fi account after the trial ends.

Original ones...
Sent from quite brutal hTc 10 ..

The original earphones are very good for a bundled earphone but aren't really anything special in the grand scheme of things. Those Sennheisers will probably be a decent upgrade. Otherwise, there are plenty of options available online; the HifiMan RE-400 was just on sale for $60, the Shozy Zero can commonly be found for the same price and offers a bassier alternative. The Xiaomi Pistons earphones are also very good and extremely cheap, the Pistons 3 go for around $15 whilst the triple driver hybrid "pro" model is around $25, both are an absolute steal.

I've got some Bose Soundlink over ear headphones and the sound is immense...

I'm using the B&O H7, which sound great too me. Was using the Beats Studio 2 before that. The sound quality was decent but it was lacking deep bass.

HTC has always seem to nail it in the audio department.

Sennheiser m2
Wired. No Bluetooth.

Still have to finish burn in with the original htc in ear but I already don't like them, too bassy! I do really love the Zero Audio carbo tenore, they are worth a lot more than the price they're asking for!

AF45m By Audiofly with Vyper4Android FX... Sound Is Very Very Good

Just paid $20 for Xiaomi In-ear Hybrid Earphones Pro. Triple drivers and they sound great!

I use Westone W40. All cool)

I'm using my old HTC8 Harmon Kardon ear buds for mobile use and Sennheiser Momentum 2 over the ear, corded headphones for home use. Both sound nice with this phone but the Sennheisers are my favorite. Being a decent set of over the ear headphones with a lower impedance, means this phone has more than enough power to get them sounding nice without a stand alone amp. I listen to a wide variety of music but they do a good job. Real comfortable and nice build quailty

They're definitely becoming renowned for it, which is great because I think most manufacturers see it as an afterthought. The bundled Hi-Res earphones are so freakin' good.

is here someone from Taiwan, who may be interested in helping me to buy the HTC Hi-Res Audio Earphones in the HTC store?
if so please contact me priv.
thx in advance

Using a pair of Audiotechnica ATH M50X with it. Its awesome!!!

to big to me, I like small earphones, and those original form HTC are very good to me, but can't bay it anywhere.

Anyone think the headphones are crap?

They sound tinny and have no bass. I went back to the ones that came with my note 7 and wala bass... All that talk about those great headphones.

They are better than I expected. As stated above, bundled headphones are usually crap. I agree about the bass, but I kept using them because of the in-line controls and mic.
#GoodEnough

They do have a nice clarity to them. Although I only tried them once and didn't adjust anything to see how it handle bass.

I haven't even taken them from their plastic sleeve. I have the ones from the LG V20 that are very good on the RATE occasion I can use wired. I'm truly hoping the BT ones that come with the immersive bundle are top notch

Honestly they're not that bad. I'm no audiophile by any means, but they're at lease as good as the Skull Candy buds I was using before. For the bass problem, download Bass Booster from the Play Store and set it to around 75-80%. Much better. Also, don't forget to set up your equalizer, put on UHQ Upscaler, and personalize your Adapt Sound. I find those steps make them pretty good for in-box buds.

These earphones suck a$$

They seem improved over the normal Samsung offerings but are not great. I got way better bass response when I attached some Comply foam ear pieces in place of the stock ones. A good seal is important for bass response and the stock ones just didn't fit in my ears well. They stayed put, but not a very good seal. For a pack-in wired headset, I am happy, especially with my foam ear tips.

Can you tell me more about those ear pieces and where to get them?

They're not technically AKG headphones. They're Samsung headphones (as are the ones that came with your Note 7), but these ones were "tuned by AKG." I'm gonna say that they're better than the ones that have come with all my past Samsung phones, including the Note 7.
