Figured I'd ask for some opinions!
My earbud stopped working (well, the mic part still does. somewhat) and I've been without for probably a few months now. Does anyone have any recommendations on what would be a decent replacement? I see a bunch on ebay but I'm afraid to end up paying for a mediocre one.
I do place some value on good sound quality, and don't mind spending a bit more $50~100? if they're really good.
Thanks!
does it have to have the inline mic?
I've used Klipsch S4's for a year now- best "budget" earbuds IMO. They are ~80USD, and if you get the S4i (inline mic) they'll set you back 100. You won't be disappointed.
the klipsh s4 are supposed to be pretty good. but reading user reviews some like cheaper alternatives better, not that the cheaper ones are actually better but everything is a matter of taste.
as for what i've been reading and what i know i like started lookin into woodies and also found thicksound, reviews looked good on both but brought me to reviews on xeers from germany. they supply a large number of iem's at reasonable prices. of those the td iii blackwoods (they have ebony housings for what that's worth) got excellant reviews, ordered them on ebay and will review them as soon as they get here.

if these things are as sensitive and wide ranged as they claim they might make your ears bleed. not recomending them yet but will let you know!
Ultimate Ears 5vi great ear-buds and they are usually on sale for about 75 or so.
Ah, yes, having the inline mic is probably necessary. I'll probably pick up a bluetooth eventually but I think my main issue now is not being able to talk to the girlfriend while working on stuff at the computer with two hands
I'll google up the ones listed in this thread, thanks! If anyone else has some alternatives, that'd be great too.

might i ask what your taste is. the cheaper ones tend to be bass cannons. i kinda like that and can add more mids and highs in galaxy tuner to compensate. when you spend $100+ you will see flatter respose curves which is great for classical and hearing vocals but the lowend might sound weak.

read the user reviews as well as the top ratings. you might find that a $30 set from dennon is better for you than a $200 set from etymotics or $80 set from klipch.
Coming from an audiophile that has spent way too much money on headphones, I recommend that you give this massive review a look.
http://www.head-fi.org/forum/thread/478568/
I, personally, recommend the Denon C452, I bought mine months back for only $30, and they retail at $70. Right now, I could not stand to listen to them (after hearing $300+ iems), but before then, these were outstanding. They blow anything from Bose out of the water, including the Beats Tour.

true im definately not impressed by the beats by dre series or anything from monster cable especially not there cables!
It's also worth noting what you listen to. I don't listen to too much rap so I care more for mids and highs instead of bass. Certain buds perform better listening to certain genres, so keep that in mind when you read reviews.

it is nice to see others that are serious about there iem's. audio performance is soo overlooked when selecting a phone, i mean they play various codecs of music and have massive internal storage. why not give phones the same scrutiny that we give mp3 players.
The NuForce NE-700Ms are exactly what you are looking for. They have excellent sound quality, a microphone, and aren't ridiculously expensive.
Their sound quality and NuForce's customer support are often praised on Head-Fi.
You could even go for the now cheaper older versions, the NE-7Ms. They are what I have and I still love them, though I've had to contact customer support about once a year to get replacement foam tips, which they kindly reply back that for $4.00 for shipping they'll send me some.
And for more ratings, the buds without a microphone have 5/5 stars out of 38 outstanding reviews. In fact, out of 38 reviews there are no 1 or 2 star ratings, and only 2 for 3 stars and 3 for 4 stars. The rest are 5/5. I say go NuForce and you will not be let down.

TBH, it's the Wolfson WM8994 chip that kinda sealed the deal for me.
And SuperAMOLED too.
I bought my phone a little after it came out, so I was not even aware at the time of the Wolfson WM8994 codec. I'm happy that there are others that appreciate headphones as much as I do...at least on XDA. I'd also overlook all reviews from Amazon, as they, a lot of the time, come from people that do not listen to high end headphones and do not know what true quality is. I'd peruse Head-Fi though if anyone is truly serious about a GOOD set of headphones.

Thanks for the recommendation - I made the order.
While I definitely appreciate audio quality to my music listening, I'm hardly hardcore so I should be happy with these.

Let me know how awesome they are! They might just make me want to upgrade my ol' NE-7Ms.
hmm Wolfson WM8994 codec chip
google is amazing and i finally learned something today!
so, it might just be me, but $75 for a set of earbuds is kinda steep...anyone have any recommendations in the $10-30 range? I've just been using iphone headsets, since you can get them cheap on ebay, but it'd be nice to have an in-ear pair for better sound.
well it seems you dont have the appreciation for headphones as others do. $80 is barely entry level but i see your point. i wont spend $300+ like some do.
from the reviews at headfi and headroom the cheaper dennons tendto get good review even from people that have more expensive klipch earbuds.

Well, first, I don't have a collection of FLAC encoded music on my phone, and even then, the phone isn't the best at sound reproduction/noise reduction, so why spend the money on high end headphones? Plus, I've easily lost them in the past, so when it's less cost, it doesn't hurt as much to have to replace.

What are a good durable pair of headphones for running?
Skullcandy's are always duriable and sound great!
No skullcandy's aren't great at all!

I can't agree with that. Have you ever compared a skullcandy headphone to some other headphones in the same price range? It's just a good brandname but it has no sound quality.
For running i would recommend a bluetooth headset (dispite the lose of sound quality). I would recommend the AKG K830BT. I tested this with some other BT-headphones from philips, sony and sennheiser. I was overwhelmed by the amazing sound that came from the AKG headphone! Never imagined it would be posible to get such great music quality over bluetooth.
Beats by Dr dre but quality increases the price..

Koss plug, sound great and are cheap ......,..
hit thanks ...it's free!
I wouldn't use full headphones for running. Use plugs. But, Sony's Studios are pretty good, and you can get them for like 20 bucks at an electronic store near you
I love my Klipsch S4a image for general listening, and i go with seinheiser addidas (whichever one you like) for running.
Klipsches are great for the money.
Get Sennheiser CX250's....i believe thats the number at least...they are supposed to be 90 bucks but for some reason FYE sells them for 20. I have those and Beats In-Ears and I can attest that they are almost identical in terms of quality/bass/loudness, but for a fraction of the price.
skullcandies aren't durable but they are good, i would get the type they sell at sport authority that are meant for running.
beats is grossly overpriced, nobody should own beats that is interested in audio quality, they are for looks only
Sennheiser HD25's mate... http://www.amazon.co.uk/Sennheiser-...CGH6/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1329254193&sr=8-4
Best headphones I've ever used - they make beats seem crap!
Not a bad price either considering they're what nearly all sound engineers use, you've probs seen camera men using them on tv
Klipsche, as said before are great, I owned a pair of S4's and they were very good for my morning runs as they are so small yet have a great fit
However, they somewhat lacked in sound quality, I opted for a pair of Zion midnight earphones from the New Marley range for $130 CND dollars and these do the job for me, also the Braided lead eliminates that 'thudding' sound when hitting against you during a run.

Sennheiser and Beats by Dr. Dre. Any brand is a great choice!
Don't have a specific recommendation but I'm against buying these brands, brands I feel spend more on advertisement, style, and status than r&d.
1. Bose
2. Beats
3. Skullcandy
Beats are horrible for the price.
Skullcandy in general is horrible.
Bose is overpriced Hype.
Check Head-fi.org for real headphones.
I have Beyerdynamics 880 250ohm, they sound great but are not for portable use.
I have some budget portable headphones from monoprice.
Check out these reviews. I personally love the $7.11 8320s. The DJ headphones are nice but they can't compare to my Beyerdynamic 880.

I'm gonna try these for working out and possible mountain-biking........ a friend had them and let me use them, sounded great and easy to use.
Sony PIIQ line, almost any Shure buds, V-Moda. I'd go for a cheap pair if I were you, just so you don't cry over it when it breaks.
Koss Porta Pro is the best headphone I had so far. Further more it's classic.
Skullcandy? Bose? Beats?
Are you trolling?
It all depends on what you want for a sound. For all-around sounds I'd advise you to get Sennheiser cx300s, they're all-around ok.
If you don't care about spending a bit more money I'd recommend you to check out head-fi.org, they're the pros and can give you more in-depth advice.
Hey
For those not wanting to miss good music quality while they're not at home, I started this thread.
1. Use Poweramp or another music player from the Play Store. The standard Players often don't have a multi-channel equalizer, so these programms are worth their price.
2.Good in ear-earphones cost more than 150$. So don't have long pockets and short arms.
I made very good experiences with Shure Headphones. They start at around 100$
but you can also spend 500$ if you are audiophile.
I bought the Shure SE315 for around 160$ and im very contended.
Please share your Experiences with other brands or models here. Thank you.

Westone 1 Use with the Grey Memory foam, comfy, low profile, the best overall for me daily IEM and motorcycle IEM, great for all genres of music... Country to dubstep = ) or Yanni to Cradle of filth... so basically everything- Good seal = awesome sound some of the other inserts that came with it didn't seal as well and wasn't impressed at first.
Shure EC5 Most $$$ Awesome, Huge Size, Best Sounding IEM I have ever used!!!
Shure SE215 Not bad Bassy, lack of overall Mid and High CLARITY- Comfy
Senheiser Adidas MX 680 Great for running/exercising- Overall a flat EQ w/bass hint
Sony EX310 Great sound hated the overall fit to clunky...
Klipsch S4 HATED THESE? OMG why do they get good reviews??? AHH!!!
I saw the thread you started in the i9000 forum. Does Poweramp interact directly with the DAC? I believe Voodoo Sound skips the Android channel mixer, using the i9000's Wolfson DAC chip directly. The sound is amazing. I use it straight no equalizer (personal prefs), but you can salt+pepper to taste with DSP Manager. This seriously made the i9000 the best portable media player I've ever owned. Bonus that I don't need a headphone amp, too.
I used to have a bad headphone habit. I'm pared down to three now, and only two get regular use. $100-$150 is a good benchmark, but don't neglect the handful of great headphones under $50. There's other threads about that in Android and i9000 accessories, but my faves in that category are the Koss Porta Pros, Sennheiser PX200, and the discontinued Sennheiser MX500. They started a new line, and I'm using Senn's MX471s for daily beater headphones now, and they sound great after burn-in. In that in-between period, a lot of people seemed to switch over to the Yuin PK3.
In the upper end, I love the Sennheiser HD25-1. It's one of the standards for TV/radio news for its great clarity and noise-blocking. There's a great little company out of Brooklyn, too -- Grado, for open headphones. They did a collaboration with another 'boutique' hi-fi shop, Allessandro, and made some great headphones. I have the MS-1 and it doesn't get as much love as it should. Way more airy + super clear mids and highs, and you can hear amazing separation of instruments. The HD25-1 is good there too, with a stronger but clear bass.

looking for a good priced pair of headphones for use in a office environment. Need something that will block out noise from other conversations etc but provide a cd quality or better listening experience.
Really wanna go bluetooth but cant find much.
Also would prefer them to fit over the ear.

I used to use the Senn PX200 and then the HD25-1 in an office to block out noise, sometimes not even plugged into anything. Both are great headphones. The HD25 is now called the HD25-1 II, and *should not* be confused with the cheaper HD-25SP. For a little more on the 25-1, you get a lot.
The stock earbuds that come with the Gnex aren't half bad. SHURE makes great earbuds.
Agree with Shure. I'm in love with my SE215.

i can't belive someone brought beats into this thread, but i use sol republic amps HD when out and about and sennheiser something at home
Tough mission
I'm still waiting for a good mobile headphones. The problem is you can't try them before buying so it makes the searching efforts frustrating.
i was able to try those earbud beats and they are good. They're mainstream and sometimes an eyesore seeing everyone wearing them, but in the end of the day, you want some good sounds, the beats can help you with that.

I kind of disagree with this statement.
Good in ear-earphones can easily be bought for 80euros (or around 100$) and up. I am currently owning Sennheiser in-ears for around 60 Euros (don't ask me about the model)
Also Klipsch does high quality in-ears for a very reasonable price.
Secondly, it highly depends on your Hardware. My Desire doesn't serve as a decent MP3 player at all, as you can hear so much interference with the antenna.
Arrow Best high end earphones for mobile use
nokia earphones and samsung are of high quality
Skull crusher from Skull Candy. its very good earphones!!
i will buy when i have the money
I like the Marshall Major headphones, really good heaphones in my opinion. I`ve just got them today!

Really appreciate your reviews.. It's great to have someone like you in this section and I'm very much interested in earphones so thorough and in-depth reviews like yours are always welcome.
I went for the Xiaomi ones you reviewed instead, and looking forward to receiving them. Out of curiosity, do you use the Viper mod for your Note II?
Also, do you have a pebble watch? I've noticed a massive bug with that + the bluebuds x on Android 4.3 which I've not been able to ask anyone else about!

It's a shame as it makes using the Bluebuds with my phone useless unless I disconnect the pebble first, which sort of defeats the point of using apps like "music boss." Since it works fine on 4.4 on my Nexus 4, I'm guessing that the bitpool of the bluetooth connection lowers when the pebble is in town. Really hoping for a kit kat update soon to sort this out!

Hey man, thank you for such an in depth review!
I'm currently looking for some buds to replace my Sennheiser CX300IIs.
I am wanting a good sound at a good price and I've narrowed my options down to 3 possible buds:
RHA MA750i
Beyerdynamic DX 160 (after reading this)
Klipsch X7i (I think my favourite)
But I am no audiophile and these would be my first pair of half decent in ear buds.
I'd love your opinion and which ones would you go for?
Thank you for your time
To be honest, $25 Xiaomi Pistons were designed as an alternative to CX300 Klipsch has a very poor quality. Beyer sounds good, but Pistons have the best value.
Advise needed
I recently lost my Klipsch S4 headphones, with no clue as to where they are. *sad
I am looking to invest in a good pair of IEMs to replace them, something that will last me a while.
My list comprises of this: Soundmagic E10, Shure SE112, Klipsch Image S4A-II, Philips Fidelio S1, AKG K376, and one of the two Beyerdynamics you reviewed in this post.
I would like your advise on these earphones and possibly any others that may be of note. It's hard to buy earphones off the internet because of an inability to test them before committing to the product. I would like to have good audiophile quality and perhaps the extra functionality with my HTC One will be nice (although not having it will not be a dealbreaker).
Thanks mate.

What is your budget? Your price spread is from $25 to $125 (Beyer phones are over $100). If you are constantly on the go and prone to loosing your headphones, I wouldn't invest into anything expensive. Stay within good value budget so if you loose it - it's easier to replace without breaking a bank. Klipsch quality went down. Shure lower price model is a junk. Except for E10, I'm not too familiar with others but see reviews with a mixed bag of comments.
If you want to stay on the budget in $25-$35 range, Pistons 2 and E10 are great. Btw, Soundmagic just released E10S version with in-line remote, I'm getting it for review toward the end of this week. Going a little higher in price you have Ostry KC06A and Audio Technica ATH-IM50 (with removable cables). Hitting $100, you have a great choice of Beyer DX 160 or Brainwavz S5.
Thanks

Thank you for your response and I will look into the suggestions you have made. I would also like to inquire as to how well these headphones would handle use during sports like jogging. Your advise is very much appreciated.
When you a dealing with this type of wire down headphones (versus wire over the year or with removable in-/over-ear stabilizers), the fitment while you are exercising will depend on how well eartip is jammed into your ear If you are using Comply foam tips, they expand creating a great inner ear seal and hold earpieces secure. BUT a big drawback with Comply tips is their superior noise isolation which cuts down on your awareness when outside running/exercising/cycling, etc.
For exercising and great sound quality, I would highly recommend Monster iSport Victory (look up in my list, I reviewed those as well). Totally forgot to mention about those, but their sound quality is on part with DX 160ie, and they got in-ear stabilizer. The neon green one is on amazon for $118, the same price as DX 160ie.
Im still using my old iphone earpods but unfortunately the volume remote doesnt work on android so i wish to get something similar but with a better quality to fully enjoy the improved dac and chipset. Searching online i found the sennheiser momentum in-ear which has the remote and mic that i want. What do you think? are there any better ones for that price or even less?
meelec m6 pro, xiaomi piston
ther are quite a lot of options
I think the sennheiser momentum in ears are an excellent choice. Everything depends on your budget and needs. I've headphones and earphones that cost multiple hundreds of dollars and off course I'd reccomend some of those (for example: grado PS500's) but if you're on a budget, even sennheiser hd202's or sennheiser cx 1.0 or 3.0's are excellent choices.
I don't have this phone yet (waiting to see how the different issues evolve) but would love to test my 1more Triple Drivers out with this dac. Impressive IEMs for the price (on LGG4 now with Viper4android - mostly FLACs). Check out the reviews online.
Bose or jbl will have great experience bro

Now much money are you willing to spend?
And what music do you listen to?
Hard to really recommend something since everyone hears differently. What might sound good to one might sound horrible to another. For general recommendations try similarly priced buds from (in no particular order) Hifiman RE400a, Dunu 22M, Sony XBA H1/H2, RHA MA750, Philips Fidelio S1/S2/TX2, Xiaomi Piston 2, 1More Triple Driver, FiiO EX1, Shure SE215, Onkyo E700, Brainwavz (many models), Audio-Technica ATH-CKM500.
Out of those I mentioned I'd say I liked (also in no particular order since it's from memory) the Sony Momentum In ears, 1More Triple Driver, Shure SE215, Onkyo E700, Xiaomi Piston 2, Hifiman RE400a.
Try to buy somewhere that has an awesome return policy like Amazon so you can try some out and find the one for you.

I want to spend max 100€ and i usually listen to Dubstep/EDM/Trap
Try to listen to Shure SE215,also has a changeable cable. Has extended bass and laid back highs.
Go for the KZ ED10 earphones. They are only 10 bucks on amazon and they are amazing. I've owned, the Sennheiser Momentum in ear, Shure SE215, and HiFiMan RE-400 earphones and I prefer my kz ed10s. I've owned other kz earphone that aren't nearly as good, so it might be a gamble, but these guys are way good. I've had them about a year now, and they are still going strong, my RE-400 wires started going loose in about 6 months. They don't have the best base response, but nothing else I own can touch the same high frequencies.
I recommend the Sennheiser PX-100-II. I've used the older model years ago and have this model now. They work well, sound great, and can be folded up for easy storage. I'm thinking of upgrading to the PX-200-II if I find a good deal on them.

I don't have an Axon 7 yet, but +1 for Shure SE215's. I use them everyday listening to mostly electronic music and they sound really good for the price. They have good noise isolation properties that lets you keep the volume lower while still being able to hear the music clearly. You look like you're wearing a hearing aid because they're so large, but it's worth it.
The new Sony MDR 1000X seems to be top notch !
If it wasn't so damn expensive i'd jump on it this second !
EDIT : If you're looking for very cheap with great price/quality earphones, the Xiaomi "Piston 4" are the way to go in my opinion.
I am very satisfied with my panasonic rp-hjx20. Impressive surround feeling and bass potential.

carbo Tenore ZH-DX200-CT
The Zero Audio carbo Tenore ZH-DX200-CT are extremely good earbuds for the price. I just bought a pair and I'm blown away by the sound quality. Check out this article. http://www.theverge.com/2016/8/29/12688698/zero-audio-carbo-tenore-best-earphones-review
I just got the Tennmak Pro Dual IEMs and with Dolby Atmos switched on, the sound is excellent. USD 29. Also available from Aliexpress for the same price (that's where I got them).
They have a mic and an answer/pause button (no volume control).
My oppo pm-3's and audeze el-8's sound decent on the axon with some viper tweaks. This phone has a good internal amp that can drive some power-hungry headphones.
I also bought the KZ ZS3 for $8 on Gearbest and they're good as well, but the Tennmak are great.
It depends on what you listen and honestly to get the best suggestion pay Headfi's introduction and recommendations a visit after you make an account and ask whatever is on your mind and people will answer
I would suggest the re-400, it isn't just a bit extended lower region but more neutralism on the whole spectrum for best edm experience (because to my experience edm is not just bass all the time) also the re's are pretty cheap so you can save some for other stuff you want to buy
What is in your opinion the better choice? Headphones with Bluetooth or with cable? I assume better use with this phone is a headphone with cable...
