I dont see why they wouldn't, I've been looking at these:
http://www.sennheiser.com/sennheise...ivate_headsets_mobile_music_502841?Open&row=2
But ouch at the price, same with those Klipsch ones, wow!

Just done a bit more research and I dont think the Klipsch ones will work with anything not Apple.
Image S4i FAQs
Will the Image S4i work with any cell phone?
The Image S4i is designed to work seamlessly with the iPhone 3GS. It will work with the iPhone 3G and first generation iPhone, but with limited functionality. The S4i’s volume up and down feature will not work on these older products. Because the S4i features an Apple chip, we cannot guarantee what level of functionality it will have with other cell phone brands.

dam thats a real shame, any how those headphones had top reviews and customer ratings. I know its a bit steep but worth a bit more i think.

I'll let you know how I get on with the Sennheiser's on this thread in good time.. anything you find out post here too please... I'm not happy at all with the set that are included so eager to upgrade asap.

guys dont waste money on them,.
Get the NuForce NE-7M
they are awesome headphones and the it has a mic built in
for half of the price, people say best IEMs for under $50 along with the Imetal 590s which you should also look at. as they both sound as good as more expensive headphones

Thankyooooo!
Most important accessory be the handsfree and you've just solved it for me
hope the button to answer calls works.. I dont mind not having volume control

They are good for Bass music so everything apart from classical
for something less bassy get the Maximo IP-HS2.

Another vote for the nuforce - they sound better than the klipsch - well worth it and the button works as does the Mic...

Hey Thanks for the heads up Nekromantik
I read the the feedback on those kick it for nuforce-ne-7m, great tip.

SKs are really quite bad, if your used to cheap headphones then they will be ok sounding but if u heard NE7/NE6 or soundmagic pl50 or maximo im590/hs2 then you would never go back.

I got the (Logitech) Ultimate Ears MetroFi 220vi
They work perfectly as they only have 1 single button:
- Press: Accept/End call or Play/Pause music while playing.
Great bass and an acceptable (sealed) in-ear fit (there are 3 sizes, I needed the largest)

Can anyone confirm a set who still are able to change number and answer calls for the Desire?

Regards the Nuforce, just to check, they provide identical controls to the original ones that come with the handset?

Sony Smart headset rocks in ONE X!

I have a pair of Sony SmartHeadset for my Xperia S, I have tested on my HTC ONE, and to my surprise they work great, the volume controls change the tracks and the play button / answer works as well, but best of all is the sound , you can not describe how good it sounds, the best inear headphones I've tasted in the htc one X,the bass is really deep and strong and very high volume with no distorsion,for my taste sound much better than Beats inear! highly recommended!....but remember that there are two differets models Sony SmartHeadset for Sony models and Sonyericsson LiveView,the last doesn´t work!!!

How much do they cost and do you know any website which sells them online with world wide shipping?
And do you know the exact model number just to be sure that i get the normal one.I do have live ware manager installed on my one x so does that not make the latter headset work on my phone?
I would love to have em on my one x!

Hey Where did you get this??I need a one too. very badly!

They seem pretty legit to me!.And most of all these oem headsets can be bought for a cheap price through some retailers than through the company itself

have you bought yours there or somewhere else ?
I've asked them if they could provide me the white ones and answer is it's possible but for nearly 80$ !!! That's why I find it weird...
In france I can't find it under 70$ so it's consistent with their white ones price, but very different from the black ones.

Have you seen the HBH-IS800 from Sony?
It's a bit expensive I know, but wireless and very small.
That's on my wishlist.

got these today and i must say that they are pretty impressive. I showed em to one of my friends who's a DJ and he said that these are really nice considering the price. The bass is very well balanced and not overwhelming. As said above the controls work fine. These however, they keep falling from my ears... Maybe because im not used to in ear headphones... But music sounds as it should on these headphones. Definitely worth the moolah...

Could someone PM me a direct link to the product in question, at a reasonable price?
In regards to them always falling out, you're obviously exactly the same as me how your ear is, and I assure you it will not get better, unless you grow your ears...
Happens to me with beats, and its because the lip in our ear cannel is not wide enough to hold the headphone in ear as intended.
Thats presuming its the same issue as me.

Does anybody knows if the Sony smart head set http://www.sonymobile.com/global-en/products/accessories/smart-headset/ works with the one x? As in the skip/ previous track, and the smart key to which you can assign to start any app you want? Or those features only work with Sony's phone?

I am not sure on this one. I think they work on sony's only. I had myself Sony Ericsson MH1-BL LiveSound, It only worked in sony's.

.. you guys should try jvc xtreme xplosives.. they are discounted on amazon .. and boy they sound good.. excelent bass. :good::good::good:

Got one of this headset for myself and it's worth the money.
Can you the "+" for next/forward, "-" for previous/rewind and the "middle" button for play/pause/adjusting volume. Save me the trouble to turn on the screen just to play next/previous song.

i've had these headsets (bought them because of this topic to replace my deceased Sennheiser CX880's T.T).
and ehr... yea replaced them.
compared to normal headset's they are okay... at best.
the sennheisers i had mop the floor with these, but they are about 2/3x as expensive.
currently i am using Sony MDR-XB30EX 's. (the sony webshop had a bug in Holland and they cost 5 bucks instead of 40 so pretty much impulse bought them)
they still aren't as good as the sennheisers but they sound a lot better then these (and are at about the same price)
also a problem i had with these is that i could not keep them in my ears, the slightest movement would cause them to jump out.
the sennheisers and the sony MDR-XB30EX's on the other hand i can put in my ears and then hang the phone on the cord and they'll stay in.

Bose In-Ear 2 headphones

Hello, yesterday i have bought galaxy s3 and I'm looking for better in-ear headphones. Any suggestions? what do you think about these ones? http://www.bose.com/controller?url=.../audio_headphones/in_ear_headphones/index.jsp
price could be till 180~ dollars

I have them and they are the best headphones I've ever had. They are so comfortable and stick it in your ear so well. The sound quality is very good as well. I will put it this way, when mine decide to go out on me I will buy another pair!

thank you for your answer, i like their design and heard that quality is really good.

I wasnt sure about them because i have always had a real in ear headphone. My brother got them for xmas and i snuffed at them. I tried them on and gave them a listen. I went out an hour later on xmas and bought them.

btw after listening with them for a long time, you dont feel any pains in your ears?
p.s. atm cant give "thanks" 8 limit suxs

I am involved in competitive cycling and use these for my ride also. Even after a 6 or 7 hour bike ride I can't even tell that I have had earphones in my ear. Just be sure to try the different size gel pieces. I believe they come with size medium on them so when I first tried them it wasn't a great fit. I put on the large and it fit like it was made for my ear.

I've tried headphones a fifth of the price that have 90% of the sound quality so I wouldn't burn my money on having a designer label, and anyway the S3 sound quality really isn't that good compared to even some other phones I tried.

The sound quality of yhe earphonea are great. I dont think anyone is expecting a studio surround sound out of the phone. Its bot just about the sound quality. Its so nice to have an in ear earphone that you dont have to worry abiut falking out or being pulled out of the ear. Its worth it if you can.

Shure makes headphones with replaceable cords. Mine take a beating since I wear them at least twice a day on my motorcycle under my helmet and they are still performing great.

Klipsch makes possibly the best in ear headphones out there...

They dont stay in the ear like bose earphones though. sound quality may be better, but I from experience can tell you that the bose is more comfortable, stays in the ear until you dont want them to be there anymore and the cables are damn near tangle proof.

Have a look at this comparison thread. It's the most comprehensive unbiased test I've found on the Internet

At $100 the Shure SE215 scored as well or better than many sets that cost 3x more.
If you are going to invest in a quality set, make sure they have replaceable cables since that is the most likely point of failure over time.

I've got a set of the Gen1 in-ear that I've had for years and love them. I recently added a set of the Gen2 inserts (you can swap them out on the holder style) and they are even better! They stay put when running/riding/lifting and you don't even realize you have them in. Definitely worth it.

Bose is not as good as everyone thinks they are. Who told you that Bose makes quality products? Heard it from a family member? A post on the Internet? Just google Bose quality or similar topics. My $5 pair of in-ear phones from Big Lots sound and feel good.

huh??

Bose are good but nowhere near as good as the price you paying for them, because Bose is like a designer label and a lot of people pay more because of who they are not what they do.

You are intitled to your opinion, but I highly disagree. I have had several pair of $20-$40 earbuds. Several because they were only good for a minimal time frame. made a step up to $60-$100 sets and there was a considerable difference in quality. 3 pair of $100 sets and lastly bought my bose IE2 and they are by FAR the best set I have had, sound quality and comfort.
but like i said, you are totally entitled to think what you want. each person has different experiences when comparing products.

Im sorry man but Skullcandy is one of the worst headphone brands. They buy noname crummy chinese headphones slap their branding on them and sell them for a profit. I have tried 4 different versions and they all sound terrible and the build quality sucks. Dont waste your money.

That is your opinion, I've compared beats to skull candy side by side and personally for the price and the customer support I get from skullcandy I would take them over beats any day. Now to your comment on them buying knock off headphones and putting their logo on it, do you have any proof of this? If you have only used there 20$ head phones yes, they are cheap, built cheap, and not meant to last 10 years. I personally got the SkullCandy Titans and adore them. The speakers can handle any type of music I push through them and, being that the buds are made of metal they last a very long time. The best part is, if anything happens to them, like one side stops working, skullcandy will replace your headset for free. It is a very easy process to get them replaced too.

Dude you compare skullcandy to beats both of which are overpriced and not nearly as good as other brands. I'm sorry but I am an audiophile, have been for years. I have extensive audio systems at home and in my car, so I know what I am talking about.
http://www.head-fi.org/t/470384/skullcandy
This is THE forum for sound quality, so if they say they suck then they suck. Sorry man, but it's great that you are pleased by their headphones, keep buying them. Also I have owned a set of Titans, I friend gave them to me last year and they are terrible. One of the headphones has lower volume than the other and compared to even my low end set of Sony's they are trash.
With Beats and Skullcandy you are paying for the name and nothing more. Anyone who knows anything about audio will not buy either of these brands. I personally have studio grado headphones and they trounce anything else I have tried. Sure they might not look as good as the others, but they sound immensely better.
I'm sorry but you shouldn't have to replace your headphones. The only time I have ever had my earbuds break is when I tear the cord, the brands I buy have never had one of them go out. That is a sign of shoddy construction.

Shures are great for sound quality but not for bass, so if that is what you are looking for then you might want to try Sennheiser or Ultimate Ears (though they are owned by Logitech now and may not be built as well) or Sony. FIIO amps are good, but be careful where you buy it from because there are crummy knockoffs out there being sold as the real deal.
Klipsch is good too, just check out the Head-fi forums and look for what you want in the sound. Many headphones sound good, but don't have enough bass for people's taste.

OnePlus launched New earphones by JBL

http://oneplus.net/jbl-e1-earphones
They will cost 40$.
Driver 9mm
Impedance 32Ω+/-15%
Maximum SPL105dB @ 5mW
Rated power input 5mW
Frequency 10Hz-22000Hz
Connector 3.5mm
Cable length 1.2m
http://youtu.be/7QV7Dd5FaRA

Looks really nice. I feel that people are going to mistake them for Beats because of the "tape" wire and the red but looks like a solid buy for ~$40.
The YouTube video is kind of a pointless ad. Doesn't even make any sense, just a mini video of punching.

But will they ever be available?

The video is really pointless IMO but I like the earphones, keeping aside the Red that reminds me of Beats. JBL quality beats Monster's (pun intended) any day of the week and at 40 USD it's a pretty solid buy.
Only thing is, I use stereo Bluetooth earphones

The brand seems to get good reviews of their sound and the design is sexy. I wish they'd come in more colours, but, the oneplus-red is quite nice too.

Trying to get a hold of the phone first, then would love a pair off these!

Release date?

I love Sennheiser, I have a pair of momentum and love them although I use my Sony MDR-1RMC for traveling on long flights. I find the Sony to be much more comfortable, I have biggish ears. My wife on the other hand had no problems with them even over long periods like on the flight to Texas from London for the F1
Why others don't have the adjustable jack angle I don't know, although I wish they didn't have the push and twist connection on the headphone side.

pistons are better

No delivery to Germany ...

Just got my e1+ today. They're actually not bad. Just needs some eq, see photo. This setting should be close to a flat response curve (to my ears at least). Each person's ears will vary.
My headphone arsenal: triple fi 10, grado sr80i, Sennheiser 560.
I think they're really great for $40, but I think they're worth $30. The plastic does feel a little cheap but then again, these aren't high end headphones. They do look durable, im planning on using these for running. The silicone tips are good but I changed them to comply tips.
The e1+ is focused more towards the mid and higher bass region. So it may sound dull. The higher treble frequencies are lacking. Good for songs with already high treble and bass heavy (eg techno, dubstep etc.) I listen to a lot if jazz and blues hence why my eq is setup this way.
If anyone is looking to getting this headphone, I say unless you can get a discount, look elsewhere.

They don't. The only reason why these are getting attention is because of the OnePlus name (which screams value) and the name brand that is JBL. They're nothing special.

Thanks for your feedback, I guess I will stick to pistons, I can buy 3 of those for the price of one. I prefer listening to real dedicated stereo system for music and only use earphones when I'm traveling.
