frnds how i know a sound quality of any head phone
i want to purchase new headphone for my sgs2... n i m confused ...what to buy ..
help
Thanks
There is no proper way of finding the sound quality of a headphone. Headphones may sound different on different devices.
You will have to try it yourself and find out which one suits your ear.
I personally like the In ear headphones, it gives better isolation.
I would recommend sennheiser in ear headphones..
Putting them in your ears is normally a good start ...
Frnds
which one is best for the on the ear.
thanks for ur reply

depends how much do you want to spend.
and depends how much your ears are sensitive and trained.
I'm a hifi follower from 30 ears and for my taste the samsung one are unlistenable... but for some friend of mine they sound good.

I think you should try googling for headphone reviews.
I don't think there are headphones specifically good for the S2.
A good headphone is a good headphone.
Brandwise I would go for Sennheiser.
Which one should I buy for Oneplus 2
1.Xiaomi piston 3
2.Sony ex250ap
3.Sony xb50ap
Pls help me decide

I believe in specs though.
Xiaomi has a frequency range of 20-20k, where as the sony ones have 5-25k.
I prefer an all round sound signature than bass heavy ones like xiaomi piston 3.
I heard the xiaomi p3 have good knowles mic, is it good??
Yes mic is good

The human ear cant listen more than 20/21k.
You hve the xiaomi hybrid pistons, doesnt have so much bass as piston 3 and have hi-fi audio. Good choice.

You are right, 'cannot hear above 20k but below 20 i.e. 5-20hz there is an ambiance in those lows, though you cannot hear below 20hz there is kind of a bass reflex effect when the earphone gives sounds of 5-20hz. Thats what i want , ambient lows with good mic !!
Over the years i have learned that pounding bass only gives you headache and you wont be able to listen the song though it is your favorite .
I have used the Sony MDR-EX110LP/B for like 2 years now. And I'm very happy with it.
I'm looking for something that has similar sound signature as Sony MDR-EX110LP/B with bigger diver units, min 11mm, 5-25k hz freq respn. and a good mic.
So is xiaomi piston 3 better than sony ex250ap ?? OR
Do you have any better suggestions upon my above observation ??
Thanks in advance.

Sorry man but i dont know. Good luck.
always buy SONY's product. they are awesome!
Hi, I was reading what you guys said and I don't think specs will be good enough to tell whether a pair of earphones are good or not. I have experience with this because I have listened to a lot of headphones and earphones. Most of the time people go for thumping bass, monster, beats esque branded products. These earphones/headphones do not provide good sound quality. Instead they deliver only bass. Lots of it.
Whether a person likes a headphone/earphone is completely subjective. It depends on his/her taste in music i.e. what kind of music he/she listens to and the sound signature he/she prefers.
If you like pop or hip-hop or electronic music then you should go for what is known as a v-shaped headphone/earphone. V-shaped headphones/earphones have a boosted bass and a higher treble, which is good for these genres.
If you like vocal music then you should go for what is known as a mid-centric headphone/earphone. These type of headphones/earphones have boosted mids which give focus to the vocals in the tracks that you listen to.
If you like rock and other genres involving lots of guitars, I'd recommend you to get a pair of bright headphones/earphones. These will put focus on the instruments, especially the guitars and the vocals for a better rock music experience.
Assuming that you are preferring a v-shaped earphone/headphone then these are my suggestions:
1.Philips SHE-3590
2.SoundMagic ES-18
3.JVC HA-FR301
4.VSonic VSD3
Also I'd recommend Xiaomi Pistons, but there are a lot of fakes of this one running around and most of them look very similar to the genuine ones, so it's difficult to spot the fakes.

Couldn't agree more. Buy your earphones based on what music you love. No two pare of earphones are the same even if the specs are listed at the same there all diffrent and with a sound personal to the earphones your looking at.
If your into good sounding stuff its well worth spending money on a good set brings your most liked songs to life!
Im a bit of a bass lover really and for IEM's i use a pare of Sennheiser ie80s which i love.
For over head i use a Cayin C5 AMP and a pare of J.V.C HA-SZ2000's but i love bass so they do the job for me.

Ahh yeah i've had a pare of them myself in the past there not bad at all for entry level earphones there weighed towards bass more then anything and yeah very V-shaped.
I find that after a while i always want more spent too much on earphones/headphones and amps but to me its worth it.
If you like bass and have the spare cash some SZ2K's are just amazing with a amp of course costs the best part of £300 quid for the set up though but the bass is simply mind blowing these cans shake your whole head!

Nice setup man! drooling..........
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...
Shure SE215
Klipsch X10
Too bad we didn't get aptx HD for those times when I can't use wired cans.
Sony MDR7506 with 24 bit flac of Miles Davis' Kind of Blue.
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.
Hello guys. Having used LG V20 and Soundmagic E10C, i always admired the audio quality. I purchased LG G7 recently and used it with E10C earphones thinking that stock earphones are crap. However out of curiosity i hooked up the stock earphones and voila these are even better than Soundmagic E10C. Crystal clear highs, better balance, more spacious and resolving earphones.
I wonder are there any better earphones that can be paired with this mobile to get the best out of it? around 100$ range or little higher. Ordered Massdrop Sennheiser HD6xx but for portability, love to listen to in-ear earphones.
Please suggest. Also love to see audiophile review of these stock earbuds.
Charan
The stock in ears are small, comfortable and are great quality, for something bundled. But it's only meant as a backup hands-free pair, really.
They served well while I waited two weeks to get the TRN V80 from china. I don't care for a neutral monitor style character and these IEMs tick all the boxes for me, clear treble, defined bass, textured mids. At 30$ these chinese IEMs make everything else look overpriced. There are neutral chi-fi IEMs for the audiophile and musician crowd as well.
And the G7 drives them as well as anything short of a tube amp. Very happy with the combo.

Added to wishlist
You can go for soundmagic e80c if you want to feel the DAC inbuilt... It is great combination. However, no bass like sony
Stocks are about the same quality as those from the G4 or even a bit lower. Decent and since I rarely used earphones on the G4 I was OK with them.
However, because of the DAC in the G7 I decided to buy a pair of better ones. For now, on my shortlist I have Fiio FH01, F9 and F9Pro. Mostly because of accessibility in Romania, don't feel like ordering from Amazon because of potential warranty issue so I'd buy from a good local store. I briefly considered Sennheiser Momentum but I think I'll get one of those Fiio, probably FH01.
I have KZ ZS5 and TinAudio T2. Both are very good earphones for the price. T2 are neutral, ZS5 are little V signature. But not much.

Buy Superlux HD681/668B if you want big ones (not neutral, highs are somewhat detailed, but the whole treble is somewhat overboosted, mids are V-shaped but very detailed and the bass is detailed depending on what song you listen to), if you want earbuds buy Tin Audio T2 or KZ AS10 or ZS10 (ZS10 contacts died in a week, idk what happened)... Biggest impedance headphone here is 668B, 56Ω, and they will use high-impedance mode...

I think it is more like 668B... But I am not sure... 668B has less bass, but cleaner highs, 681 has more extended bass, but unclear (not sibilant highs) and more detailed, 681 Evo has more bass and has typical Superlux 681 signature other than that... And it is closed, so it may give you better isolation...

Great choice...
You could also check out Tin Audio T2, RevoNext QT2, KZ ZS10, AS10 and SoundMagic E10... Most neutral are T2's, but they lack subbass and have extremely neutral sound, which is a bit boring... KZ are extremely fun, but a bit bright pair of earbuds... QT2 are Harman-based earbuds with a bit of a bass boost and highs boost...

Lol... You should buy AKG K702 if you're in EU, it is like 110€ on German Amazon... You'll get almost flat sound, if not a bit bright, with great sense of realism and huge soundstage... Almost natural in every sense... Not as natural as Senn HD800, Audeze LCD2, or Stax SR009, but no headphones sound like those headphones... And they are over 1000$, which is an overkill... K702 are great midrange audiophile headphones...

Great recommendations. As I am new in this world of budget audiophiles I was wondering if all earphones have to be in-ear to be good. Because some earphones are not comfortable for me if they enter too much inside my ear. Instead shape like AirPods are less intrusive.
Are there good budget earphones which are not in-ear or it is a mandatory characteristic to make good sound?
Sent from my XZ1 Compact using XDA Labs
If you don't like In-Ears earphones, you just have to look for Earbuds & Semi-In-Ears like QianYun Qian69, VE Monk, MEMT T5, MoonDrop Nameless. Best sound quality is first two. Look for review for models and choose, but maybe Qian69 is best choise from theese.
Hi everyone,
With all the great reviews for Chi-fi earbuds, I just got a couple of pairs from KZ to try out my shiny new DAC. Feel free to read about them elsewhere, I just wanted to let you know that the KZ ZS10 Pro really, really, really shines with this phone. Unlike some of KZ's other 5 driver iems, it starts with a flatter curve, and responds significantly to any eq adjustment. Monster bass or smooth, light vocals are equally obtainable with this amazing amp and just a little eq. It's absolutely the best 45 dollar accessory for this little audio powerhouse.
KZ ZS10 Pro 1DD 4BA in Ear Buds... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07QNW6HNB?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
Although I switched to my Comply foam tips, The silicone tips are actually pretty good, providing a bass satisfying seal.
The ZS10 Pro is a little heavy for bouncing around. For more outdoor/active use, I threw down 13 bux on KZ's ATE single driver iems. These are also awesome, perfectly suited for moving around. The profile is more bass heavy and lower highs, but they're still very detailed and equally pleasant with edm, rock, or classical. Although they make a "sport" version with memory wire on the ears, I found this pair to stay put at all times. The included foam tips were too small for my big ear canals, so I went Comply again, but average ears should be ok. I thought the AKG buds with my S8 were decent, until I bought these 13 dollar KZ's.

Bonus: the tips from those Samsung/AKG buds will fit. I didn't need to buy new Complys.
