I really don't need another pair of earbuds... is it worth keeping? Are you selling them? How much do you think I can ask for? Thinking of Craigslist or facebook marketplace...
In the UK we get Bose noise cancelling headphones worth keeping. They will replace my old Sennheiser. I don't like the buds, of any manufacturer, so I would sell those.
I'm still on the fence! Once I get them, then I might keep or sell?
As someone else wrote in another thread, I may pass them along to the gf since she has real trouble finding a comfortable pair and these don't seem to really lodge themselves in the canal and were comfortable for the few minutes I tried them.
I'm curious as well. I use my sony wf-1000xm3 and theyre great. I'm just wondering if the pixel buds will work better with the pixel phone. I can't even get the buds on pre-order since they are sold out already. I've been trying to contact google to see if they would compensate me
Sure why no its free i love buds that comes with wings
Not sure yet. Never used a pair of pixel buds so I'm at least going to see how they sound. If they aren't any better than my OG galaxy buds I might sell them.
I'm slightly on the fence but leaning towards either selling them (if I can) or gifting them. My wife and I bought Samsung Buds+ a year and a half ago. I quickly didn't like them, but my wife loves them. I also, unfortunately, washed the buds inside their case inside my jeans within a few months. Buds survived fine, case is toast.
I don't like these types that only rely on the ear to stay in. Since my experience, my brother and my sister both have come to the same conclusion (regarding competing manufacturers' similar products). I prefer the old Samsung Level U with a neck band. When/if the ear pieces fall out, they don't go far, and the whole thing is unlikely to be stuffed into my pants and forgotten about, and washed.
I might be curious enough to try them since Samsung's are the only ones I tried, but that depends on if or how much they will reduce the resale value - as I said - if they have any resale value at all.
Update: My wife now tells me she'd like to keep at least one as a spare, so now maybe I won't get rid of them. Can't sell them on Swappa besides including them with a phone, and I'm not too crazy about eBay these days.
If you aren't planning on unboxing them I would just list them for whatever they cost in the google store and see what offers you get. Just indicate they are new and unopened. You can always gradually lower the price if you don't get any bites.
I already have the pixel buds 2, so these are going to my wife. If you haven't tried the pixel buds, you MAY want to. I love mine. They sound great, especially with viper4android. And it has different touch/swipe functions that are pretty tight. Like, pause/resume of course, volume up/down, skip track/start over/skip back. It'll tell you when there's a message from someone you know. Which I love, since I rock these when I'm mowing. Google assistant ready. Also, they translate languages in real-time too (haven't tried it though). Anyway, all personal preference, but I love mine. I'm surprised Google didn't drop pixel buds 3 on Tuesday honestly.
I'll sell or gift mine. I had bought a set at release and was not happy with them. They let it far to much noise from the outside and Google's adaptive sound isn't enough. Ended up getting some Bose QC after trying many types. Wife has apple pros she likes.
I really wanted to like the pixel buds but they sucked for us
I can't stand earbuds with rubber tips that plug your whole ear canal. I think I'll be saving them for a christmas gift.
I got mine delivered Today and put them on sale right away since I've got the Pixel Buds 2020 and am happy with them!
I didn't realise these were free in the UK ,I thought you had to claim the Bose headphones free
I'm keeping them. I have a pair of BT buds I bought on Amazon that work good but if the Google buds sound better I'll use those and store the others as backup.

I do not believe they are. there is absolutely no information about it. On the other hand, BOSE headphones are not available in the US and in the UK we do not have google pass. Different offer for different markets. We just need to remember to claim the headphones after we will receive our pixels, in the US they had to add them to the basket.
Yeah really looking forward to my Bose headphones - I'd been intending on buying some new ones so this works out perfectly.
The only buds worth keeping are Bose QC buds, which also happen to be the best on the planet right now. The rest are just various levels of junk, pixel buds being somewhere at the bottom.
My son goes through ear buds like crazy. Always losing them. I will probably keep them in the vehicle for him to use. I recently purchased some Bose QC35 ii. I use them at work for phone calls and love the features. Yes they are bulky but very comfortable. I'll have the buds in my truck, so I can always have them if we go somewhere. Between my son and myself they will be used for backup.
Selling mine to cut the cost of the phone. I use Powerbeats Pro at the gym and I have others for work. Never liked the style of the pixelbuds anyway.

I was using the headphones (which imo, are the best I've ever used), and suddenly one of them cuts off, and jerks back, and now all the sound is gone.
Does anyone know how to fix this? Or do I buy another pair and which?
Probably a cut connection somewhere. A solder/tape job'd fix it if you can find the problem area. won't be pretty.
I've had this same problem with countless pairs of headphones...it's pretty much a loose wire somewhere right before the male end of the plug...if you're determined enough, you can strip the insulation off, solder the wires back together, and be on your merry way, or just go buy another pair of headphones.
if you like the ones that came with the phone, check out skullcandy. they are what I buy. They are cheap enough that when they start messing up from excessive use (I'm a student...headphones on all day except while in class) I just go buy a new pair

Why keep spending money of headphones that will just break after a couple months to a year? Just get a decent pair (PortaPros come to mind) and keep truckin. Lurk on Head-Fi.org for a couple days/weeks. You'll discover you don't have to pay an arm and a leg for decent sound quality. You could pay more for better, but I think I'd have a hard time convincing someone to buy a $250 pair of headphones for portable use.
I've had my PortaPros for almost three years before they gave me any problems. Then I paid ~$8 to get them replaced under warranty. Believe me, I beat the hell out of those things. Cable wrapped around the set, tossed around in a booksack for days, in a car for days, etc. And still they keep the tunes coming.
In all fairness, they are a bit "dark" so if that's not your bag, then carry on. But 90% of the people that have heard mine thought they were great.
If you decide to go Skullcandy anyway, don't waste your money and just get the Ink'd. Every other pair of Skullcandies in ears I've heard were obviously more expensive, and were actually WORSE!

I've considered buying more expensive headphones.......but 250 is a little excessive...I was more in the range up to $70.....
I have considered Skullcandy, but you're right, cost for durability is definitely important.

What I need are good headphones that have the built in mic. Essentially I need a good hands-free setup.
NuForce NE7M or Klipsch S2m.
I know the S2m has an online mic and I think the ne7ms do as well.
I have yet to hear either but think you'd be happy with either though I think the Klipsch is a safer bet.
I don't use the phone part of my phone often enough to warrant getting a headset. :-D
All that said, I still suggest you go out and do.your own rezdearc. Music is something we all want to listen to differently. Characteristics I find appalling you may desire and vice versa.
For example I know that my 'pros are dark, but I absolutely love what they are.

All IEM/earbuds are inherently going to be more fragile. There are certainly more sturdy ones out there but they are of course more expensive. The ones packaged with any phone or MP3 player are super cheap (hence why they break so easily and their sound quality generally isn't that good).
A solid set of actual headphones can last much longer, however that's pretty bulky to always be carrying around for many people.
Anyway, it's impossible to make a recommendation without knowing your price range. We can throw out all kinds of brands and models all day that will be completely infeasible.
Head-Fi is a great resource as others above have mentioned but they tend to be for people looking far more for sound quality rather than price/durability.
I'm using shure isolation ones. E2 I think. Comfy. Treble is perfect. I think I want beat studios though cause,you know, they just sound AMMAZING.

I have a Sony Bluetooth earbud headset that is of excellent quality, so I am set on that front. The thing is, it only has six hours of battery life (as most BT headsets do) and often run it down when I'm listening to podcasts and audiobooks while pulling doubles at work. I had the earbuds that came with my Captivate, but they were kind of junky and, honestly, I put them through the washing machine one too many times.
I went on Newegg.com thinking I'd have an easy time choosing the optimal wired earbud headset, but there's a whole universe of them out there, now, and the price has come down on them so much I can't even use that as a benchmarch of quality, anymore.
Does anybody have any good suggestions for a wired earbud headset that has good to excellent sound quality and works particularly well with Android pnones/Samsung Captivate. My price ranges is 50 dollars or less.
Thanks!
I really like the stock ones that came with the Captivate. As a backup I also use the buds from my earlier Sony Ericsson.
Sorry my post was of no help :]
I use a pair of V-Moda headphones w/ mic from the Apple store back when I had an iPhone. The cable is wrapped in a material infused with Kevlar
I'll try to find a link for you
EDIT: Didn't see your price range. Mine were $80, but they may have gone down some? Idk. I'll find it anyway

I've been looking for a good durable set as well. Looked on amazon, and it seems that many many people have problems with that headset breaking constantly.

Disclaimer: I'm not really after audio quality. They're earbuds, after all. I just need them to be indestructible or, failing that, cheap enough to be replaced a couple times a year.
The weak points in most earbuds I've owned are the junctions between the miniplug and the cable or the cable and the earbuds. In fact, the supplied Samsung earbuds are pretty decent, except that the miniplug-cable connection wasn't designed to take any stress at all. Sheared that right off in just a week of pulling the phone in and out of my pocket.
To that end, there have been two products I've been pretty happy with:
If you can find them around (eBay), the "Zune Premium Headphones" have outlasted anything else I've ever had. The cable is wrapped in plastic, so it transmits some noise when rubbing against your clothes, but they're incredibly durable. I only stopped using mine because I wanted something with a microphone button, not because they broke.
What I'm currently using are the JLab J3M earbuds. Got them from Amazon for $25 or so. Cable appears to be wrapped like the Zune earbuds and then coated in a clear, rubbery plastic, which has worked out so far. Only had them for about four months, but holding up well. The headset button works reasonably well with Android (I use DroidShuffle to control everything, and Cubed as the actual music player.)

A case of YMMV... I have a pair of V Moda Vibes that I've worn for over 3000 miles of road cycling over the past year. Not a bit of a problem.
I actually have a pair of the ZAGGsmartbuds (yes, the same ZAGG that makes Invisible Shield) that I received as a gift. They are very sturdy (the site has a cool video of a Boston Terrier trying to tear one apart - that alone would sell it for me ) and the volume and button controls work on the Captivate as well. The cord is actually coated with the same material as Invisible Shield.
Sound quality is quite good (compared to some V-Modas and some high end Sony earbuds I had from before) and it retails for a shade under $50 (but I think you can easily find it online for much cheaper).
http://www.zagg.com/audio/smart-buds.php
I've tried lots of different earbuds and I think the stock ones are one of the best under $50. they may not have the most bass but the complete sound range is great, nice and smooth/clear.
$25 Skull Candy set does right by me. Killer sound and I can talk while driving. Covers the basics. Did I mention they sound killer? The sound is great and they sound awesome too.
Best Wired Headphone on the Market!
Skullcandy (Full Metal Jacket) FMJ. You can check out this products here: http://www.skullcandy.com/shop/all-products/headphones.html?limit=all&cat=6
but you can pick up brand new ones on ebay for $20-$40. They have an in-line mic, you can work the music player with a toggle on the wire, they they are LOUD and HIGH QUALITY music. Check them out, you would be disappointed.

That may be true, but they seem to have close to a 50/50 fail rate. Waaaay to high for me.
If you're going to buy skullcandy, don't get more than the inkd line. They arent great on the first place and it seems like the higher you go in the line up the worse they sound.
The ones I have have lasted for two or three years now.
They aren't the best thing ever SQ-wise, but they do isolate well enough, and that's important to me when riding to and from school/work.
Just my opinion.

I agree with this.
I use Sony's MDR-EX57LP/BLK. They are mostly noise canceling and I found mine at walmart for about $40. Great bass and ok highs.
Hippo Pearl if your after balanced and an all rounder. Got e'm for around $20. Best pair of earbuds I've had.
Swyped from my Froyo-ed Captivate.
ive got a set of meelectronics from newegg that have been awesome as far as sound goes, otherwise the mic has been questionable at best can't tell if its the rom or the headset itself. btw it was cheap as hell too 10 bucks or something.
I've had good luck with the skull candy full metal jackets but I think the ink'd sound slightly cleaner but the longest I have used them is two months before I catch them on something. If I don't need a mic I use Shure e2c's.

I've never had that problem. I run my wire through my shirt. Also helps to get rid of microphonics.
Im about to "upgrade" to a bluetooth set. Hopefully it will be on par with what im currently using. But im willing to sacrifice a little SQ for the peace of mind. I use an otterbox defender so the headphone jack is partially blocked off.
I just hope it isn't TOO bad because I really like my belt clip.

Just picked up a pair of these Moto Rokr S9 HDs from buy.com $42.58 was my total shipped, but it varies slightly from seller to seller. http://www.buy.com/prod/motorola-mo...etooth-headset-new-oem-in-bulk/211822460.html
Received them today, and I must say that I'm impressed, especially for the price. Been wanting a pair for a while. Researched them for a while before deciding on these.(had heard bad things about the S10s) They pair easily with the Epic and sound great. The hands free activates Vlingo. I rarely use that. Got them mostly for streaming music They fit snug on my average size head and are really lightweight.
Be careful
I had the same ones until they were stolen/lost. They are awesome. I now have the next version. So, I do recommend them. My point of concern is DO NOT BUY THESE FOR CHEAP ON EBAY.
The guys at work loved them for working on there days off or running on the treadmill. You don't have to fumble for your phone and they are great for music.
But, one guy at work got a pair for 25 bucks on ebay and they were FAKE. The hologram sticker was not the same and it had differences you could tell when you held two of them up close. They worked but the quality was far worse. So, be warned. I can personally confirm there are fakes out there. I would think buy.com is safe though.
+1 for the S9-HDs. Best bluetooth set I've ever owned. My cat destroyed mine and I replaced them with the S10s but they suck in comparison. not nearly the same sound and much more bulky. If you're on the fence, get the S9s.
as a note, my opinion is based strictly on music quality. I rarely use my headset for phone calls, but they both perform perfectly when I do.
I love the motorola s10-hd. I had a pair a while back with my og epic but they did not funtcion correctly so I sold them. they function 100% with epic touch though!
Ive got 4 pair for sale if anyone is interested. Brand new, factory sealed, 100% genuine. Im asking $45 shipped

I had a pair of the previous model and they are NOT IN ANY WAY sweat-proof. A little moisture and they go haywire.
I got about 3 weeks use out of mine until the controls stopped working. Good luck and don't use them when exercising, sweat kills them fast.
i've had my S9 headset for over a year, used it with my epic and now my touch, no complaints, great sound.
Yeah, I love mine so far...
the reason i ask is i'm not sure which ones to get! first i want to know if i get the 80 ohm version do i need an amp to power them. or would be logical just to get the 32 ohm. i'm pretty sure i'm going to hear this(you should get atm50's) but i'm looking at the beyer's for awhile now. i would appreciate the anyone's input!
I use beyer custom one pro - not exactly the same but they're beyers, and they sound fantastic!

i thought about them for a choice also. do they get loud when you turn them up or do you need an amp? some people say they use an amp with your pro's but i guess that is what they prefer. either the dt770's or custom one pro's in white, don't know yet. i would like to hear them at a store before purchasing them you know
mine are white. so far I havent had to use an amp (there's a dedicated amp inside the HTC One already) but I dont have an amp anyway. I just liked the look of the one's and I'm not REALLY an audiophile even though I do appreciate good sound.
But check razordogaudio on ebay - I got mine from them. Authorized reseller, and they had buy it now / best offer and I got em brand new for $210

Beats is a main selling point on HTC device, I mean sh*t they have it branded on the back of the phone perm.
least they can do is hook us up with some quality beats headphones, ill even take refurbished ones, I don't care, but the ones it came with yes, they work, but considering this phone is 6 months old, AND now just getting it, they could have done something to help us out, price drop, anything, but no,

I can buy the headphones just as they came in the Rezound for under $40 brand new, new everything, pouch, headphones, all the ear buds etc.
So being that they are a bit old and used, and I don't know how many if if of the rubber ear piecees are left/used, I don't want the used ones.
I would pay $10-$15.
Again no disrespect if too low a price, but that's what I feel comfortable at.

Will do! And I will put these aside, because I have the other ibeats. If you reach 20 soon, I'll take it. Now just hoping we can achieve s-off : )

I have the 250 ohm DT770 Pros and my DNA pushes them pretty well. I think you'd be just fine with the 80 ohm version.

I'm still kicking myself in the arse fror selling my beas headphones that came with the Rezound, as a guy who NEVER listens to music, only trips and stuff, It's nice to have a decent pair, but not worth the price for someone like me who doesn't use them often.
Dr. Dre makes enough money, the quality we are getting on these headphones just drop and drop, the rezound was priced normal with the headphones, maybe they took a big loss of that, idk?
but I feel we should at least get an older ear style beats headphones, even the same ones that same with the Rezound I'd be very happy.
Beats is a main selling point on HTC device, I mean sh*t they have it branded on the back of the phone perm.
least they can do is hook us up with some quality beats headphones, ill even take refurbished ones, I don't care, but the ones it came with yes, they work, but considering this phone is 6 months old, AND now just getting it, they could have done something to help us out, price drop, anything, but no,
we are paying the same price that was paid half a year ago.
I hate VZW,

yeah, My wife "stole" mine and keeps dropping them. Now she's complaining that they are cutting out. Can't figure out why...
Personally, I mainly use some LG BT headphones that verizon screwed up and listed for free last year.
You can't go wrong with either. I would go with the 80ohm just because you should future proof your purchase as much as you can.
And ultimately you'll still want to get an amp, however make sure you get at DAC/AMP combo or have a small usb powered DAC. The reasoning is if you don't have an external DAC all your amp is doing as amplifying an already amplified sound because the phone is already doing all of that. And as good as they sound regularly, once you go amped it'll never be the same

Finally after 20 years of not running (was a previous XC runner) I started running again this year. I've been through a couple of pairs of bluetooth wireless headphones already. The thing that gets me is the pricing on most of them. I need a headset that plays music while running (and voice coaching for times) and doesn't find itself hanging off my chest or sliding down my shirt. I can't keep stopping to pull them back up. I've had expensive ones like the jaybird X2's and while they are a good headset they are heavy and fall out easily and start banging around until i stop and adjust them. They are also 7x's the price of these Syllables.
The thing I like about these besides the price is that I don't have to jam them into my ears just to keep them on me. The clip over the ear while not entirely fashionable is very practical. You won't lose these. They won't fall off you. They won't annoy you with one side hanging off. The weight of the controls is on par with other units i've tried and is mainly due to the battery being in their instead of the actual ear buds. Now I don't know how many people reading this review have given much thought to this.. but I really don't want to shove a lithium battery into my ear EVER. Water proof or not the risk is there. Thankfully these don't have the battery in the ear buds.
I'm writing this review because when I initially started out looking for a pair of headset I thought I had to pay a lot of money to have a good running headset. There's a million smaller brand headsets out there and it's difficult to take a gamble on each one. This company is responsive, their packaging is what you would expect from a major brand purchased at a retail location and they keep improving their products based on customer feedback. They DO read and respond to their reviews on here ( I did my research here first and noted that they have worked with quite a few customers to make sure you are happy). For $22.99, what else can you ask for ? I could have had seven different pairs of these for the amount one of my previous headsets cost.

Just hoping my wife doesn't ever figure out how much my Jaybird X2's cost me now...
