Just depends on how much you want to spend. I have a pair of Sol Republic Tracks HDs that I've fallen in love with, and they're roughly half the cost of comparable Beats products. The earbuds (that I haven't had the chance to try) are roughly $40.

I have the JVC XX HA-FR201 ear buds with mic and they are perfect. So cheap and yet produces a lot of bass. I got them last year for $10. Still working up to now.

If you're looking for bluetooth you can't go wrong with the BluebudsX. They are a bit pricey but sound absolutely fantastic. Lightweight, battery lasts a good while, and best of all...no darned wires. The BluebudsX paired with the Viper4android sound mod=eargasms.

Sounds about right. Cheapest I've personally seen them go for is $20/pair. But they do have extremely good clarity and bass output. Probably the best bang for the buck in the business.

+1 for the JVC mentioned above I have the none mic version, still awesome sound

Any advice about not "in-ear" headphone (just earbuds with mic)?

Anyone got suggestions for headphones under $20 for Canada? I've spent the last 2 days looking online and can't really find anything good.

Please read my guide below on the matter when you get a chance.
The type of earphones/headphones you should buy depends largely on your musical preference, budget, etc. The earphones I love every day may sound rubbish if you listen to a lot of instrumental. Likewise, my musical preferences wouldn't sound good on headphones without significant bass presence.
Don't buy Bose, Beats, Skull Candy or any celebrity endorsed headphones. You can get far better quality at half the price.
Also, please answer the following-
Budget:
Music preference (genres?):
On-ear or in-ear:

[Guide] Headphone/Earphone Buying

Reddit (r/headphones) loves these
http://www.amazon.com/o/ASIN/B00E38BP6I?tag=adapas02-20

Don't shoot me for the suggestion...
http://www.jaybirdgear.com/bluebuds-x-bluetooth-headphones/
I love these.
The sound...is good. Almost great. If you're going to shell out $170 though, you can get better SOUNDING headphones.
But I got these probably a year ago...maybe a bit more. Still love 'em.
Great build quality. I actually sent them through a washer (derp) and after drying for about a week...tried to power them back on and they've had no issues...and this was a few months ago.
Why these?
Sound is good. If you've heard/owned Klipsch S4s...these are on par with those (a cheaper bud, but great sound for the price on those as well) but with much better lows without drowning out the mids and highs.
Do you use your headphones at work/working out?
Perfect. I love these, mainly, for this reason. I listen to 'em at work or while riding my bike...
And that annoying snag and slight pulling that always seems to eventually wiggle one or both buds out after a while is obviously gone with them strapped around your head. And these things STICK into your ears. They're also really comfortable (for me). I actually got my sister a pair for Christmas last year...and the "wings" or whatever they're called bothered her ears after a while...so she just wears them without and claims no issues. Personally I tried it and they tend to fall slightly out of place for me.
And another huge bonus...
The Voice-Dial Volume-up Track-Skip (longpress) functions all work without issue.

Don't wanna pay too much.. max 20-30 euro !
I'm speaking about In-Ear Hearphones (with microphone), no bluethooth!
Music preference? I like to listen many italian songs.. like Max Pezzali, Laura Pausini, Tiziano Ferro, Modà, Marco Masini !

For that price just get some skullcandies, not bad for the price
If you gunna spend more don't get shures. Build quality sucks!

wow !! the Jaybird have impressive collection , however those prices are extremely expensive ( at least for me ) ...
Any cheaper ? ~ $30 ...

I'm searching something with (thanks jRi0T68 for the template)
1: Budget = max 50 $/€
2: Genres/Musical preference = Pop/Rock
3: Type of headphone = earbuds (not in ear) <--- very important
4: Functionality = with mic
5: The audio rig as whole = (doesn't matter)
6: Source material = (doesn't matter)
7: Build Quality = (doesn't matter)
Now I I'm thinking to buy Apple Earpods.

I wasted loads on all sorts of head phones. Finally went for some bluebuds x. Best set I ever bought.

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?

Hi guys, i bought that bundle from china two weeks ago, they are nice but that s all, dont expect more, i got sennheiser cx985 and ie80 , you cant compare, it s better than samsung one or iphone's but that's all

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.

Earbuds

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.

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.

My budget is around 4k (60 usd). Please share your thoughts on this.

I bought taotronic TT-BH026 . For me the bass is really important buying headphones. I really recommend them even if they look cheap to be good. i use them with my OP5T since couple of months ago and i didnt have any issue.
I'm really happy and satisfied with them, I totally recommend them.
I hope it's useful my advice

Question OnePlus Buds Pro - worth the price

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 theory it should perform great. Do you guys have some experience in 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.

Buslova said:
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.
