OK. I am looking for a nice bluetooth headset that hits the below criteria. Please let me know if you have any recommendations!
Decent battery life - over 6 hours of use preferred
Clear sound
Good/deep bass reproduction
mic for voice/phone calls (this is not as important as audio sound)
Over-the-ear style - no in-ear suggestion please. Tried many, dont like them.
Behind neck style band (NOT over the top of your head like many are)
Price range between $70 or less and max of $100
Ones I have tried:
Motorola S305 - Not near enough bass or sound volume.
Rocketfish RF-MAB2 - Pretty damn near perfect... great bass! Ear pad broke on one side and there arent replacements for them. Model is discontinued. They didnt fit quite well enough though on my ears. Usually sat at an odd angle.
Motorola S10 and S9 - OUCH! Heavy and hurt my ears. YUCK.
Fire away!
Thanks!

If you get it, let us know how they are. And these are not that good, always great to buy it on amazon so you can return it back
What's everyone using for IEMs? Looking for recommendations in the sub $130 range.
I highly recommend the Triple Driver Headphones from 1More
http://www.amazon.com/1MORE-Triple-Driver-Headphones-Microphone/dp/B01A7G35S0
As someone who owns 35 different pairs of headphones. These are a STEAL at their price and offer really quality playback.

Looks very nice. Any experience with the RHA MA750s?

Unfortunately I have not experienced any RHA products myself but they definitely look really clean and would match the HTC10 well
For anyone who's looking for cheap buds, the LG Quadbeats 3 sound pretty good. They actually sound better than my Bose IE2s because of the great isolation on a high quality source. They came with my G4 and sounded so cheap. Perfect example of the 10 making cheap buds sound amazing.

I have the rha ma750, bought it a few years ago. I do recommend it for the $130 range. I also have the rha t20.
Sony mdr ex750ap is also very nice with many colours and great sound.
Vsonic gr07 classic and gr07 bass are great as well.

A decent pair of earbuds, the Klipsch R6. Can't go wrong with, especially if you buy the Isolation Comply Tips. You'll get some great sound from them. That's the combo I use.
Got the RHA MA750 a few days ago. Very pleased. Phenomenal clarity and balance overall. A little less bassy and warm than I was expecting though. Although I've read they get better after a good break in period.
Thinking about trying the Shure se215s just to compare.
Still keeping the MA750s regardless though, between comfort and build quality they're well worth the price.
i have shure se215s, very nice, detachable cable, bit bass heavy but very durable.

Just received these myself and the sound quality is phenominal once you get the set dialed in with the right tips.
However, I think the button functions dont work properly, or mine are broken. Do your button controls work properly?
Top button works for Vol+
Middle button is stop/start, 2 presses nothing. three presses next track
Bottom button does nothing.
Im gonna contact 1more but am curious if yours work ok.

When switching from an iOS device and an android device I often find issues for the controls to work properly haha.
Most of the time the controls work flawlessly hopefully it gets better overtime. If you get a response back let me know what they say! Also, I agree so much haha these headphones are absolutely amazing and for the price they are absolutely amazing!!

I will post here if they reply. I didnt come from IOS though. My last phone was the LG G2. Oddly the controls work on that phone, except for skipping back one track.
I'm guessing that maybe HTC didnt stick to a standard implementation.
So Im assuming your button controls dont work either? I cant tell by your reply if you answered my question?!?
I am a proud new owner of a Carbon Gray HTC 10! (coming from Failsung S7)
My sugestions for HTC 10 (of the same color) users:
AKG Y50 Black
AKG N20U Black
AKG K450
Sennheiser HD 2.20s
Philips Fidelio L2BO/27
Philips Fidelio S2BK/28
Senfer UEs (Dinamic driver + balanced armature)
KZ ZST (Dinamic driver + balanced armature)
A short update on the 1more Triple drivers. Support said that the inline button issues were fixed for android on their titanium color set. Apparently the black/gold have not been fixed yet (old stock?).
They offered to switch them out for me. Sucks cause I dont really want that color, but for $100 I want them to work properly. And they sound incredible so I'll deal.
For now, if anyone plans to buy them, get titanium color if you want the inline controls to work properly. I asked them on eta for corrections to black stock. Will update if I lean more.
I came from using sure's, xiaomi piston 2 and dual drivers, and sennheiser momentum in ears. These 1more triples shatter those in comparison of sound quality. I mean its not even a contest. Ive heard $1,500 cans that sound worse.
I'm unsure of how good they are, but the HTC Hi Res Audio earbuds and JBL Reflect Aware C Earphones are both 40% off if you sign up to join Team HTC. I bought the Hi Res Audio ones for less than $20. They should be here today (only took 2 days to ship).

the hi res sound great... but you gotta be careful with them... the wires are weak and will disconnect inside
Yes -.-
my Hi Res earbuds broke on the right side after 2 months....
Then i bought the Xiaomi Hybried IEM. For 18$ really nice stuff.
I think they're also designed by 1More.
Shure Se-215 with aftermarket cables from ebay that allow the in-line buttons to work on Android. They have a in-line mic as well. The se-315 are supposedly great too, a bit more $.
I also actually love the Amazon buds. $15 and they are great. Fit is nice, buttons work and in-line mic, sound is decent and I love that they are not sound isolating. Great for walks and hikes where you'd like to hear traffic and such.

Yea. 1more currently makes all of the xiaomi piston range and dual drivers. I have them all. Its what convinced me to try the triple drivers. In comparison to the dual drivers the triples are really 10x better sound quality. Not knocking any of the xiaomi range. At their price points they are all the best there is in the low end $ range, ......by far. I personally think the Piston 2's are fantastic, although base heavy.
As an aside, I also have thr JBL reflect and the HiRes HTC's. Guys, they are not even close to being anything near the right quality to take advantage of the DAC and amp on the 10. Rhey sound horrible. I'd rather use my non aptx photive bth3's than those.
My replacement 1mores's should be here tomorrow. I'll update on whether the controls actually work right on the 10.

The htc earphones hi res, are they built for music productions?
Do you use OnePlus Buds wireless?
How they sound in music & Call ?
Do they worth the money? I ask because the price is obscene !
Thank you.
I bought the new pro's. They ARE overpriced and the touch controls are finicky however the audio sounds better than the Samsung buds+ and some Anker ones I had. The call quality is much better on the buds pro than others I've tried as well. The ANC works pretty well but I feel that the "transparency" mode isn't as strong as Samsung's "ambient" mode which I use at work a lot. It's nice that the software for them are built into OOS' BT area also. 1+ recently had them on sale for $119 ($30 off) already.
Hopefully they push out a new firmware soon to address some of the issues. Mainly the touch controls on the stems are "touch and go" (pun intended) and there are occasional issues with the buds not thinking they're fully inserted in your (or maybe just mine) ears so they turn ANC off. I'm also hoping Comply will make tips for them soon. I have some of their all purpose tips and then don't get the "insert your earbuds" for ANC error however the all purpose Comply tips don't fully fit in the case and eventually the lid tears them since they're a tad too big.
My left Samsung ear bud's volume had been decreasing to the point that it was almost dead so I needed a pair and decided to give 1+ a shot. They're good but not $150 good IMO. At that price point they have too much competition.
I got mine free with the purchase of my phone and I love them. I use them for music and watching video on my phone all the time, and they sound better than the others I used before. My mom liked them so much she bought a pair for herself (she has OP9). If you're a true audiophile I'm sure there are better choices, but for the average person who likes to enjoy music and movies, I can't complain at all. They also fit great for me (after switching tips) and stay in even when doing stuff outdoors or if I fall asleep with them.
Not sure about call quality because I don't really use my phone for talking. I only used them for a call once that I remember and it sounded fine on my end, but I didn't ask how I sounded to the other person.
I feel like I want to be fully in the pixel eco system as it's just starting butttttt, would it be worth spend 100 quid on pixel buds or a decent Sony headset, I like the buds for there minimalist style but I like over ear headphones for the full experience, I'm not buying both lol
Good question. My biggest pet peeve with any kind of "buds" are them falling out of my ear. My Samsung Buds+ (and another users' Buds Pro) were much worse than my Pixel Buds A-Series. I didn't know about Comply Fit Foam Tips you can buy for various buds, and am considering some, but weighing whether they're worth it since my A-Series don't fall out too much. I reference and have links to them here if you're curious.
I'm not into covering the whole ear, either. I do like my old Samsung Level U "buds" which are the type with a band that goes around your neck - that way when/if they fall out they don't go far away.
I'm assuming you can't get a decent Sony headset for anywhere near the cost of the Pixel Buds A-Series, so ultimately, if I were you, that would probably be the deciding factor.
I've mentioned before elsewhere, I like how smooth and integrated the app for the Pixel Buds, etc works on the Pixel versus how Samsung's app was on my Note 10+. I just didn't like the Samsung much at all in any area, really.
Some user (maybe on Reddit) claimed that he accidentally put his A-series buds in the case through a laundry washing machine cycle and all were still working after.
Your kind of convincing me here lol, I'll review the pixel buds before I decide, I just feel like over the ear headphones offer more experience, more battery and and over all better sound output, Sony have they're own app as well but I really want to be in the pixel zone lol, I shall let you know my decision
Yeah I'm going to go for the pixel series A due to its so integrated!

I could never tolerate that either.
The Pixel Buds A that came free with P6P stay in extremely well - effective design.

They're sound is about as good as my best pair of wired earbuds, but only after I enabled Bass Boost in settings.
Sonys WF XM4 are the best buds around, they offer an "almost" full (over ear) headphone experience, even though they are "just" buds. They are also shaped ergonomically and once you fit them in your ear canal, you can even go working out - they won't fall out.
Mind though, that they are expensive. You won't find them below 200 €.
I am using Ear1 (nothing) works and sounds great with P6p
I have a pair of Galaxy Buds Live that sound awesome but with the way they are made, if I happen to doze off with them in, 1 or both fall out if my head tilts the wrong way. I did buy a pair of Razer Hammerhead True Wireless (2nd Gen) that have the RGB included and downloaded the Razer sound app to tweak the sound and they sound awesome also. They have some serious bass if you use the bass boosted setting. My music player of choice for several years now has been Power Amp with the settings for the EQ set on rock with Preamp set all the way up and the bass and treble dials both set at 50%. Got them on sale from Amazon for $99.99. They have gone back up to $129.99. You can also get them from Gamestop and Amazon. I put the link to Razer's site below.
Razer Hammerhead True Wireless Earbuds (2nd Gen)
Wireless low latency earbuds with Razer Chroma™ RGB featuring Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) technology for a distraction-free audio experience.
www.razer.com
For those looking for a good pair of ear buds, I would give them a try. They also have ANC and gaming mode. They are also comfortable to wear for hours. I wore them for 5 hours Saturday night and they did not bother my ear canals like a lot of in ear earbuds cause after short periods. The charging case is nice and gives various different battery life based on which options you choose to use. I have the RGB on default spectrum cycle and ANC off which is supposed to be a total of 27.5 hours between use and case recharging per Razer. You can get up to 32.5 hours.
Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless also extremely good, sound like over-ear ... but very expensive.
I have been using Soundcore Liberty 2 for a couple of years and i have no intention of getting rid until they pack in, they have been superb and you can shake your head like good'un and they don't fly out.
They were replaced by the Liberty 2 Pro (currently £90) and then by the Liberty 3 Pro but stock often reappears with them going for 50 or 60 quid.
Hi guys,
I am going to buy wireless earphones. I am OnePlus 9 pro user with A12. In that case is it worth buying OnePlus Buds Pro? It supports high quality audio codec on A12, so in router login theory it should perform great. Do you guys have some experience i 192.168.0.1 n that matter? Can you compare buds pro to other manufacturers in similar (or lower) price?
I am asking here, cause I am interested in best performance for my 9 pro.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi Carlos,
I bought the buds pro a few months ago and I don't know if I was just out of luck or if the product is not worth it. On the first pair, the right earphone with active noise cancellation would emit a high-pitched background sound if there was no sound. So I proceeded with the return, the second pair same problem but on the left headset. I was very disappointed, apart from this regret the headphones sound great, are very comfortable and the cancellation does its job. Instant and well integrated pairing. But for 150 euros a really bad experience. I also returned the second pair.
I they need more reviews...I would compare to others.
NO !!!
No headphones worth so Much Money !!!
This is pure Greed ! Like Creap from apple! Garbage from samsung! **** from sony!
Unfortunately, Oneplus follow them...

Are you using bucks gear from aliexpress? GLHF then
No. I use bone conduction heaphones.
I listen more than 8 hours a day, at work. And my ears dont hurt from music or from headphones.
For about two months, I've been utilising the buds z. They are perfect for my needs. I use them primarily to listen to music and view videos. For me, the ability to switch seamlessly between iOS and Android is a huge plus.
And if i want to good sound for my music i use Oneodio dj pro (chinese headphones over the ear with Awesome sound and Great looking).
I have all 3 - the Z, Z2 and the Pro buds. [I've also owned Airpods Pro and Airpods Gen 3.] The deciding factor is the shape of your ear IMO... if you have a hard time fitting the silicon rubber tips in your ears without them falling out, go with the Z2s. They hang in your ear as opposed to wedge in like the Pros. If you don't have a large ear canal problem, go with the Pros.
TLDR: they are all great sounding. The noise cancelation is better on the Pros than on the Z2. The sound quality is essentially the same.
Forget about the original Zs, think they've been replaced by the Z2.
I got mine for free when I bought the 10 plus. Will let you know once they arrive.
