External speakers? - Vibrant Accessories

What are some good (portable) speakers? I don't expect amazing bass and audiophile quality out of portable speakers but I am sure there are some decent ones out there. What have you used and/or recommend?

It's not as simple as which headphones are good. It matters what you want from your headphones. What's more important, bass vs. highs? Do you require an inline remote and mic?
Need good bass? Probably want something with a dynamic driver.
Are highs most important? Balanced-armature is what you're looking for.
This is all a simplified answer, but every good pair of IEMs has different characteristics suited to different genres of music.

how to know sound quality of headphone

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.

[Q] Quality Earbuds

I currently own a pair of Tour Beats by Dre earbuds. The sound quality is decent but I'm now in the market looking for earbuds of higher quality. Unfortunately my knowledge in the earbuds market is limited so I'm here asking advice from you guys.
My requirements are:
1. High sound quality (Bass is important)
2. Fits in ear well and stays put (interchangeable earpieces would be nice)
3. Reasonable price (sub $200)
So what do you guys suggest?

Perfect headphones for Z3 Audio pleasures

So I love the Z3 Music a lot. Some headphones are just too weak, or not loud enough. This Z3 with the capability of playing High-res music is outstanding. Together with walkman app. It is truly a high-res music playing device.
My advise: Look for some headphones with higher DB or sensitivity 103+ db, and lower impedance < 16 ohm (ohm) I have been collecting headphones for a while now. Different tastes, genres, style. The two that I like the most here are
JVC HA-FX40. This can be purchased online from reputable retailer. I like Adorama. This is a bassy headphones with clear mid, and clear high. It does need some extended burn in hours. Recommended 100 hours
ATH-IM70. This too can be purchased online from reputable retailer. This is also a bassy headphones with great details and extensions + imagine. This can beat many headphones in the 2-3 x price range. The best thing = it sounds very natural, and organic.
Both of those above headphones can provide quiet an ear piercing volume with your Xperia Z3 and an Amp is not needed. Especially the ATH-IM70. The ATH-IM50 is also good, and much cheaper, but is with ways more bass.
A bonus about the IM70/50 = removable cables. You can buy cables with inline mic for calls and control from lunashops.
If any of you have any better headphones, please recommend them here. :good:
The next thing you would want = to find your high-res FLAC music files. Good luck guys
Sennheiser momentum on ears!
Heir audio 3.ai - best in ears I've ever had and look great!
I'm using the Sony MDR-NC31EM (was bundled with my phone) and I like them. The noise canceling feature is excellent!

I use the shure se215 an like them. They are better than my previous bose I2E : better sound (much my taste), better noise canceling, and better cable quality.

Yours came with these? Arg, jealous! I plan on buying these.
New z3c owner and really pleased with the sound quality. I'm using Soundmagic E30's which give a really clean, crisp reproduction. Not the strongest bass but that's obviously a matter of preference. I'm sure there's better headphones out there for home listening but I run a lot so need something which can cope with the elements, as well as weight too much or not fall out.
Specs:
Driverynamics 9mm Neodymium Driver
Frequency range:15Hz~22KHz
DC Resistance:12±10%Ohms
Sensitivity:94±2dB at 1KHz/mW
Also sounding great on the X-Mini II portable speaker. Have not been this happy with a purchase in a long while!
Huge soundmagic fan. The ES18 and E10 are both great. ES18 are a steal at their price. I love my E10M but doubt the remote will be fully compatible with the Z3c, so I'll probably have to give the Xiaomi Piston 2.1's a try.

For me the best headphones:
Monitor ATH-M50X http://eu.audio-technica.com/en/products/product.asp?catID=5&subID=39&prodID=4596
Portable ATH-CKR10 http://eu.audio-technica.com/en/products/product.asp?catID=5&subID=38&prodID=4668
Actually the ATH-50MX signature is almost the same as ATH-IM70. Also, if I don't mistaken the 50M is 38 ohm, while the IM70 is only 10 ohm. You can drive the IM70 on the Z3 without the need of an amp. I, and other headfi-ers since had refer to IM70 as the portable version of 50M.
CKR-10, I have never tried, but very interested in it review. Let me know if you have had that chance
Not trying to drop a bomb in here or something.
I use the ATH-M50 and the BRAINWAVZ M1 IEM, but in my opinion no matter what ear/headphones you use they will never sound REALLY good without Viper4Android.
For now that's the only thing that I'm missing on my non rooted phone.
I must say that the sound comes close when I use the ATH-M50 with the Fiio E11k headphone amp, but it still feels as if something is missing.
So once we can root our phone without losing our DRM stuff I'd suggest everyone to look into Viper4Android
If you think Clear audio makes the phone sound nice, you'll be blown away by Viper4Android :good:
I've not found the volume is too low at all. I primarily use Westone 3 earphones and the volume is usually at about 50%. However, I'm spoiled by normally using them with a Meridian DAC so the Z3c sounds a bit flat by comparison even with the Westones' sparkly high-end and punchy bass. I might try getting a OTG cable and see if I can get my Meridian Explorer DAC to work with the Z3c.
I dropped $50 for the Sony noise-canceling headphones that work with the Xperia Z series. They're fantastic. By far the best in-ear headphones I've ever used. Comfortable and the noise canceling really does work.

I've been curious about these. They are the NC31's (or whatever they're called) right?
Two questions:
1) when u put them in, and noise canceling is on with no music or anything, what does it sound like? Is everything muffled or just really quite but u can still understand people or what?
2) what's the bass like? I listen to a lot of electronic music, good bass is essential. Not just deep, but clear and without distortion.
Thanks

Let me get back to you on both of those, as they're not things I pay close attention to (bass is really only important to me when listening to John Deacon's Queen songs).

1. If you choose the right size of the earbuds, everything is extremely quiet even if you do not actually connect the headphones. Connecting them and turning on the noise cancelling feature just makes it more silent, as it muffles and cancels out the remaining sounds. A person standing next to you and talking to you (not screaming, of course) can't be understood, unless you read his lips.
2. Never had any distortion with all kinds of music, even with high (too high) volume. Of course, we're talking about lossless tracks. I can't vouch for MP3s.
Cheapo is best
I think that reading everyone's comments about different phones my view is it is all down to the great Z3 sound system and that even some of the cheapest pair of in ear phones can give a brilliant and clear sound.
Myself i don't like to much heavy base.
If you go into the settings on your z3 make sure you have ticked to use the Clear Audio+ and Dynamic normalizer also tick Hi-res audio via USB and under headphones general you can pick up to 6 Sony Types to choose.
I personally use a cheap pair over the ear type and they have a great sound. They are not a closed type as i like to hear whats going on around me when outside. I always listen Pink Floyd,Joe Satriani,Steve Vai,Tangerine Dream etc,etc

Panasonic Clip Type Earphones RP-HS34E Water Proof
i am using sony mh1 it's cheap and great
Several reviews that I've read online for the Sony MDR-NC31EM noise cancelling headset have pointed out poor in-call performance (bad mic, bad mic position, and no call button). Can you guys with this headset speak about the call functionality please? My z3c shows up tomorrow, and I'm guessing that I'll be in the market for a headset to go along with it. Cheers.
Edit: Also, how is the OEM headset that comes with the phone (D5803)?
Does anybody have some experience with AKG Y50? What do you think about those headphones?

What headphones should i buy?

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.
https://en-us.sennheiser.com/on-ear-headphones-travel-lightweigt-px-100-ii
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...
