Does any one have vibrant headphones for sale?
Sent from my HTC Desire
I might. Just got the Vibrant and have a set of headphones I like so never even taken them out of the box. Send me a PM and we can talk. No idea on price so make an offer.
I have a never used pair from mine too.
Also have a pair that I haven't used.
I suppose you got them now...Testing them against the ones that come from hd2..hd2 has more bass and the vibrant ones are louder...I only posted this cause I recently tested them lol

There are a few OEM ones for sale on eBay too if you do a search for Samsung i9000 headphones.
Just go into a T-mobile store and see if they have any extra ones. IMO the IEMs that come with the phone are average at best. I would invest in a nice pair, I picked up a pair of Thinksound Rains for super cheap on Amazon and they are sound awesome. They are suppose to be releasing a pair with a mic on it shortly.
Im still looking im willing to pay like $15 for the headphones,i really want them

I just tried using my old iPhone headset with the Vibrant. It works just fine. I can even start and pause the music player from the mic button.
Thought I would mention this since it may be that any iPhone compatible headset will also work with the Vibrant. Can anyone confirm this?
Thanks.
damnn... i never paid attention to how good the stock headphone sounds... i was ready to sell this... i must say these are some quality headphones...

These are just headphones, no mic on it. It is the same style as the ones provided and I even think you can use the same interchangeable plugs that came with the phone. I bought some and they were great.
Does anyone know where I can purchase headphones that have the interchangeable earbud sizers but also have a mic and full music control with the skip buttons (like the HD2 headphones)?
I love these:

really? these sound better than any pre-packaged headphones i have ever used.
I find that the stock headphones are far superior to most others on the Vibrant. I have a pair of very expensive sound canceling Sony ear-buds that sound like trash on my Vibrant but are great an all my other devices. If you look at the stock headphones the connector has a third band. Supposedly it emulates 5.1 surround sound. I listen to allot of music with layered tracks (Tool, MarsVolta, SOAF...) and with the stock headphones I've been hearing stuff I've never heard before. One thing I found strange with the stock headphones is that at first I had to apply a good amount of pressure on them to get them connected properly.
UPDATE
I was just thinking that other band is probably for the mute control. Either way, of the several other headphones I tried the stock sounded the best to me.
UPDATE 2
LOL, just tried my old school KOSS and they sound every bit as good as the stock. To bad they're huge!!!
I got a pair of klipsch S2m and they are great buds. $25 on amazon vs the msrp of $60.
Sent from my Samsung Vibrant using XDA app
the third band is for the microphone.
I've found the 5.1 button to be more of a 'make what ever your listening to sound like doo-doo' button.

Couldn't have put it more eloquently myself.
On an unrelated note, has anyone tried using iphone earbuds with built in audio controls on the vibrant? It just occurred to me those might work since the iphone has a similar headphone jack setup.

I know I should have made this topic before I ordered but how does everyone feel about the htc headphones for the evo? Are they good or not?

I wouldn't know. I didn't get any HTC Earbuds with my EVO. I have a friend who just bought a Desire and got a set. Curse you HTC! *shakefist*
Yea no ear buds with my evo either.
I think he probably means that he purchased the HTC earbuds. They look pretty cheap to me. I bought jlabs j3s. They are in my opinion very good for the cost.

they're probably just decent. the vast majority of headphones made by non-audio companies arent that crisp.
Any recommendations for earphones?

I'm not a COMPLETE Audiophile, but Skullcandy products have always done me well, although I'm sure there are dissenters among us
Bearing in mind I can't listen to my FLAC on my EVO, I may be off. :-\
I got some Etymotic Research er6i which sound way better then the ipod and palm pre headphones I have. You could find er6i for $70 on ebay. I also have some q-jays, which have dual armatures (speakers) per ear bud. These sound even better then the er6i. The q-jays start at $180. I'm no audiophile either.
I've always liked Skullcandy as well, a lot of the newer headphones and earbuds have a cloth cord (like a shoelace) and built in mic which is great in case you get a call. I'm looking into a new set of lowriders for my Evo.

I recommend iBeats, they are the cleanest sounding earbuds I have ever heard. They come with different sized earbuds (8 different sizes) so that they will fit comfortably in almost anyones ear. I just wished the track selector on the mic worked for more than just an iPhone
Well I just got these HTC ones from amazon. Lost an earbud within five minutes lol they are really big in the ear. They stay in but leave just a slight pain afterwords. They sound decent but I am seriously having bad luck with earphones and headphones. My skull candy bulls headphones work great though with a mic.
PS I already have a slight static in the right ear, it seems to fade with louder music but I just got them so that's annoying.

I have some $10 Meelectronics ones from newegg = meh
Etymotic e6i = amazing but no mic, and they dont sound as good as the next ones...
Etymotic HF3 = all the buttons dont work for Android (designed for apple) but the HF2s are the same earphones and do work with android (supposedly) Edit: they just dont have volume buttons like the HF3
JVC marshmallows = okay for $10-15
Koss ones for $20 at wal mart = best of the lower price range, but not that durable
Skullcandy ones I got for $59 at a ski resort with built in volume but no mic = still regret losing these, they're my favorite but dont sound that great.

Haha I hope this is a joke. The Dre Beats are made by monster, not a high quality audio company. I have heard no less than 3 sets of the earbuds, and countless sets of the "studio" ones and holy **** they are terrible. My $150 Behyrdynamic DT770 Pro 80's absolutely kick the **** out of them for about half the price. More "boomy" bass out of my DT770's, actual crisp mids and highs. he studios are so so muddy, it sounds like there is a thick piece of foam isolating your ears from the actual driver.
The Earbuds are not as terrible because they still retain decent clarity but there are far far better out there.
I have a set of Klipsch S2 headphones that I got for $20 on an amazon special and they are at least on par with the Dre beat earbuds (which is sad cause I only spent $20 including free prime shipping). They have a play/pause button on em that works with my Evo and if you double tap it will skip to the next song, tripple tap to go to the previous song.
The klipsch S4i's, S5, and higher have integrated "apple compatible" remotes with volume control, and play/pause and fwd/reverse controls. Unsure if they work on anything other than an apple though.
If you ordered htc headphones i wouldnt expect anythijg better than syock headphones of any kind...Meelectronics is good for a small small budget. Depends on what kind of audio you're used to having but just don't get those heavily marketed brands such as monster because you can probably get the same quality from many other brands at a fraction of the cost! I personally have a pair of UE 10's its on amazon for 180 and I would really recommend it.
I really like my zaggbuds 25 bucks if you wait for a 50% code.

I kinda feel like a dumb ass cause I ended up getting the dr dre earphones for $100 and although I really like them they aren't blowing me away. Funny thing is that when used with my brother's iPod they DID in fact blow me away, but I'm using the EVO so eff my life...even Power AMP was no match.
just wondering what you guys use.
i'm looking for in ear headphones with some sort of music control/mic. under a hundred bucks is great, I love bass.
so far i've found these two guys: Klipsch Gaming earbuds, and Klipsch s4a's. I hear the s4a's have issues with some phones though.

problem solved. gonna use the ones that came with our phones. bass is solid, and so far they are pretty good at blocking noise.
if i find the mic/vol controls to not be worth it, i'll just buy a pair of half decent earbuds without mic control. if the OEM samsung earbuds dont provide me with mic control that I like, I doubt any expensive off market buds will do me justice.

If you want BOSE, they make a mobile headset that has mic and volume controls. It's called the MIE2i. Also, Beats make a pair called the iBeats. They are an in ear headset with GREAT sound. I own both and use them interchangeably. I will say though I give the MIE2i's a slight edge because the eargels are the most comfortable I've ever worn.
BOSE = Buy Other Sound Equipment
Klipsch S4A, made for android. S4i sounds good, when mine need replacing, I'll buy S4A's.

I did the same and since I don't need the Mic, I started using my Sony ear buds. If I get a call, I just pull the phone out and answer, I have to see who's calling anyways.

As far as in-ears under $100 are concerned (which Im assuming your asking for) I like the NuForce NE-700M over the Klipch s4a. Ive had them both and i feel like the highs are more crisp and it has a bit more low frequency extension.
Also if you care about bass more than clarity the AIAIAI Swirl have plenty of bump and an excellent asthetic.

Do either of those work with Android as well as S4A? To me, that's a big selling point. My S4i's are perfectly suitable sound-wise, but the lack of control sucks.

The NuForce has one button/mic combo. One press pauses/plays, two presses skips the track. The button is honestly a little flimsy though so if button is your number one concern
As for the AIAIAI it looks like the new one has 3 buttons but i cant attest to how well it works as i had an old version of the swirl with only one. I can say that AIAIAI's whole deal is that they are really well designed as far as the tangible parts so i would assume that they took a lot of care in designing the buttons.
what earphones set for Samsung Galaxy S2 SGH-t989 has best microphone ?
hi,
I've already lost the earphones that came with my new samsung galaxy s 2 SGH-t989. 1 of the reasons I got this phone was for the vlingo voice-operability that makes it good for use while driving. Does anyone know what the best ( or at least a good) earphone set is for this phone, especially with respect to the microphone quality?
thank you in advance.
monster has a BYO headset adapter w/mic that works
picked it up or $10. bought 2-one for walking around and one for the car's Aux-in jack.

yes. i do that all the time as well as use my truck speakers with the tape adapter as my speakerphone.
I use a pair of hd sound buds I got from 5 below for, you guessed it $5. They are the best I have seen. The sound is real good and if they break I just go get another pair. They have a mic for calls too. Everyone I call says I sound real good through this headset. Cant beat $5 for a good set of buds w/ a mic. I have paid a lot more for sets that were not as good. I keep a spare set around b/c I am hard on headsets.
I use audio technica's clip on earphones, really comfortable and portable. The cable is lined with cloth, so it is a lot more sturdy than plastic or rubber, and it is near impossible to get it to tangle up, even after being tossed around in a wadded-up mess for a few days. Best headphones I have ever bought. They are a little on the expensive side, and they don't have a mic, but I listen to a lot of music, and I definitely fee like I got my money out of them.

Might wanna check out Amazon's selection of Sennheiser earbuds right now. I've always trusted in Sennheiser for great quality at a great price.
http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_s...nheiser+earbuds&rh=i:aps,k:sennheiser+earbuds
These ones:
http://www.amazon.com/Sennheiser-MK...YMF4/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1323525004&sr=8-1
are marked down from 80 to 23! And some of the reviews say 70 was a great price for the quality. The next model up retails for 120 and is on sale for 30.
Or, go to Target and get a pair of Skull Candy ink'd earbuds. They are 17 or so, and sound comparable to much more expensive sets. Was really impressed by them for paying under 20. And the noise cancellation is great, too.
I just bought a pair of sony sweet little buds:
http://www.amazon.com/Sony-MDR-EX33LP-BLU-Style-Headphones/dp/B001RB24KK
They were 20 or so, and the reviews on Amazon are pretty positive, but I don't think they sound as good as the Skull Candies at all. So they are going back to the store
I find that the urbanears bags works well with a mic for 30, or the klipsch s4a sound pretty amazing for 100. the klipsch app works pretty well for controlling headphones with one button.

The Klipsch s4 is pretty bass heavy though. The phones I prefer for compressed, on the go usage are the Klipsch S2 if you can find any variety of them.

Koss Porta Pro's. Sound great, nice sound balance, and pretty darn affordable. They have a lifetime warranty, and I believe I saw a version with a built-in mic.
I find the klipsch s4 to be reasonably balanced, but the bass is better tuned. they are squeezing a lot out of the high end.
I think that was a very complicated way to say "i agree."

What's Bluetooth phone for great quality at a great price...? Incredible 2.
I use the Skullcandy Titan model. For only $40 they're amazing. I see no reason to go above and beyond and pay $99 or $150 for Beats when these are awesome and compare to the same quality output. They're totally worth the 40 bucks.
For daily music enjoyment riding mass transit (buses/subways or trains) - a pair of in-ear, noise-cancelling headphone/mic is what I carry/use (picked up mine from a Brookstone sale 2 years ago, iphone compatible) and it is great.
The key is to install/enable/use DSP Manager on the ROM if not stock - I can fine tune the music/video settings as needed for various boost & equalization.
For the occassional oversea/long distance air travel, I take the full-sized Sony NC headset with the cups - I just don't feel the need to spend hundreds to buy into the Bose brand.
YMMV, of course.
I use the Beats by Dr Dre ear buds. They are around $75, but the difference between these and a $5 pair is I wont have to buy a new pair next week. These baby's last.

I like my cheap headphones. The sound is as good as I need it to be, they have lasted for two years now, and if I do lose them or break them I can replace them without breaking the bank. I use them on my motorcycle, in the sauna, while I work out, work in the yard, etc. I don't know that I would be comfortable abusing an expensive pair like I do these.
For me they are just like sunglasses, the cheaper they are the more I like them and the longer they last and the more expensive ones get lost, stolen, or broken right away. It's like they have an odd niche in the market for being backwards or contrary to what one would think.

The Sony ones that are packaged with the XS and Ion are far worse, the stock S3 ones aren't too bad.
Make sure you try out all of the silicone ear tips- if they aren't getting a good seal in your ear canal, the bass will be pretty terrible.

Stock S3 headphones are pretty decent in my opinion. 10X better than Apple stock ear-buds -
I like the stock headphones. They sound pretty good, with the right ear adapter they completely seal the ear and you hear NOTHING but music. I've got some Klipsche S5i and the Samsung ones sound equal at least.
I think the stock earbuds are nice. I'm very impressed with them. They are far better than the ones that came with iPhone 4s. I'm still thinking about buying the klipsch s4. So I can keep the stocks nice for when I sell the phone. I switch phones like crazy

I have to say the included earbuds sound pretty good to me. I listened to some music last night and watched a couple YouTube videos and was impressed with the sq for being an included accessory. They won't be replacing my Sennheisers any time soon, but I will be leaving them in my car for use in a pinch.
I don't think they're that bad for stock earbuds. Especially since they're free and included. They're not gonna sound as good as a decent pair of IEMs but there are a few things you can do to make them sound better. I bought a pack of Comply foam tips for a pair of Monster Turbines that I have. By far the most comfortable tips I have ever used and they offer great isolation. What do you know they fit the stock earbuds perfectly. They're still a little weak on the low end but it does help. I'm probably not going to be using this for anything other than making calls or going to the gym anyways. For serious music listening I'll use a real pair of headphones.
p.s. gotta love the S3 camera quality
Yea, I installed comfort foam black tips before I even tried the stock buds and I think they should awesome for stock issue.
I must have 25 sets of headphones and earbuds (I have some $400 buds) and these are far from the worst, but any buds need the correct seal from the tips to have any bass.
i changed the tip, same thing, the sound sucks
Stock earphone is not bad but definitely lack in base sound. My $15 Philips sounds better...
S3 headphone improvement
Quite the contrary, the stock headphones are very nice. You have to realize not all headphones sound the same hooked up to the same input. First things first you need to select the proper ear buds for your ear. The right size pair should fit snugly and comfortably in your ear. These also help to put the driver deeper into your ear canal for much better bass. Next open up your settings for your Music player and change the equalizer settings. In my opinion the Auto sucks and I don't like any of the preset options. If you find a preset that sounds good to you then you're all set. If you're like me and aren't happy with those, play around with the Custom option. This deters a lot of people but, isn't too difficult.
mine has really deep bass ..it's def can compare to some 30-50 range headphones. I think some you might have some "defective" ones or bad batch lol.
OP, not my cup of tea, but if you need some buds with bass just get some Beats by Dre and call it a day.
I like the stock headphones because they were free with the phone. Freebies are always good.
If you think the stock earphones sound nice, than you haven't heard anything better. lol
I throw the earphones onto my Zune mp3 player with a Fiio E5 amp, and i thought it sounded horrible.. threw on my $7 monoprice earphones back on and was blown away lol
Hey guys.
I want to know your opinion on this...
What do you think of the stereo headphones with mic that are included in the Galaxy Note package? My Galaxy Note is black, yet it came with white headphones... guess that's what everyone gets. Although, I saw original Note headphones that are BLACK on the internet... Oh well...
At first, I thought they'd be rocking, since I previously owned a Galaxy Nexus and let me tell you, the headphones that came with it were better than the pair of A4Tech MK-650 I have been using. I wasn't expecting Samsung to have taken such an ugly turn and make the headphones so bad for the Note! They did it perfectly for the Nexus, and now I think I know the reason : it was Nexus, Google thing... with standards...
Of course, when I sold my Nexus, I gave the headphones with it... Didn't think the ones for the Note will be this crappy!
1. They don't stay in my ear properly. Even tried the larger rubber "plugs", even the ones from A4Tech... It's about the headphone's construction itself : it's made not to fit perfectly over your ear...
2. Quality sucks. I can't listen to music with these. At least not drum & base .
So, how are you feeling about your headphones? Maybe I got a bad pair... or maybe that's just the way they are, crappy (I go for that one)...
Also, if just by chance you are using or have used a pair of Galaxy Nexus headphones on the Note and worked... I'd like to know . I'm ready to pay 10 extra bucks for a new pair of Galaxy Nexus headphones, just so they don't fall off from my ear when I'm talking to somebody...

At first, I thought they'd be rocking, since I previously owned a Galaxy Nexus and let me tell you, the headphones that came with it were better than the pair of A4Tech MK-650 I have been using. I wasn't expecting Samsung to have taken such an ugly turn and make the headphones so bad for the Note! They did it perfectly for the Nexus, and now I think I know the reason : it was Nexus, Google thing... with standards...
Of course, when I sold my Nexus, I gave the headphones with it... Didn't think the ones for the Note will be this crappy!
1. They don't stay in my ear properly. Even tried the larger rubber "plugs", even the ones from A4Tech... It's about the headphone's construction itself : it's made not to fit perfectly over your ear...
2. Quality sucks. I can't listen to music with these. At least not drum & base .
So, how are you feeling about your headphones? Maybe I got a bad pair... or maybe that's just the way they are, crappy (I go for that one)...
Also, if just by chance you are using or have used a pair of Galaxy Nexus headphones on the Note and worked... I'd like to know . I'm ready to pay 10 extra bucks for a new pair of Galaxy Nexus headphones, just so they don't fall off from my ear when I'm talking to somebody...

Mine are pretty good but i have a pair of beats by dre studios comming and a pair of beats by dre tour
In my opinion they're actually not bad. Much better than the rubbish headphones that came with my iPhone 4 anyway!

I tried two pairs of Dr. Dre (not the same, one was Stereo one was Mono or something, looked pretty much alike, but were different) at a showroom a few weeks ago... They were the kind of headphones that you put over your head, and they rest on your head, you know... The big kind of headphones. Oh well...
They sounded nice... but when I activated Bass Enhancement in Music Player, they started to buzz and crack and buff and prr... lol.
So... Beats by Dr. Dre... excellent at bass... nope.avi. My A4Tech MK-610 I'm using right now are better .

It's funny. Everyone's saying that the iPhone/iPod headphones rock. I tried them... they're meh. I mean, I got used to in-ear headphones... all other headphones that are normal, not in-ear (like the iPhone ones, for example)... I feel like they're hurting my ear, lol.
The sound quality was pretty nice... although not as crisp as with the in-ears I'm using (naturally).
I'm planning to buy a pair of those headphones for my girlfriend, actually. She doesn't like in-ears. Also, those iPhone headphones have a mic, and it worked with every Android device I tried, so...
Her pair of original HTC headphones got... f***ed up. Left headphone leaks current, rofl.
In my opinion...all the headphones I got with Samsung devices SUCKED...
Extremely poor sound, uncontrolled, random bass boosts and drops... They're definitely not for the audiophile, but more for the conversationalist, who wants to clearly hear the person on the end of the line when...say...driving or walking down the street.
The ultimate sound I was able to get out of my Note was through Sennheiser CX 400 in-ear headphones, along with Power Amp (and a few tweaks there). I'm betting it's even better with something like Sennheiser IE8's, but those are pretty pricey :laugh:

True, better than the iPhone ones, but also better than the Galaxy S2 ones.
And even better than my Sennheiser CX270

Impossible. Better than Sennheiser?
Oh well, I've seen Sennheiser that looked worse on the specs sheet than my A4Techs. 16 ohms impedance, and they cost 3x than the A4Tech?
Scribbled from my Note coupled with the best (CleaNote) ROM and (NoteCore) kernel by g.lewarne
My headphones broke so I was forced to jar these before I brought some more.
At first I was cringing at how poor they were, especially as the stock ROM output such poor quality sound.
I forced myself to listen to them and can confirm that they burn in an incredible amount, its like they are a different pair of earphones. The highs are tighter and the mid range has improved a lot. The bass is ok if you get a good fit, and I found if you get some good eq setting on power amp it does a world of good.
IM at the stage now whether I think I need new headphones, I listened to some burned in audio technica m50s and they didn't have the pronounced treble these have, although the bass was tighter.
I've owned shure and klipsch earphones before and although they're not as good as the shures, they're probably not far off the klipsch right now.
The added bonus of a built in Mic and controls is also really useful

I have no idea what the burn in you're talking about is. It can't be the typical burn in us SAMOLED users are used to (screen f**ked up)...
Yeah, I like the bundled mic and controls these Samsung headphones have... but God, I can't make them fit in my ear, NO WAY. Plus they just sound terrible.
Never heard of Shure or Klipsch... But then again, I'm not in the mighty America, so all I ever heard of is A4Tech, Pioneer, JVC and Sony... stuff like that, you know.
I just miss my Galaxy Nexus headphones... they were the sh*t!!!!!!!!
Oh yeah, now I heard of Shure. That's part of your nickname, haha .

worst! i wonder why samsung uses those pair of headset. no bass at all. im using Audio-Technica CKS77 on my note and its pounding!
Pretty good compared to my original htc HD2/Desire HD earphones, and to another under $10 pair of mine :laugh:
I like them. They're decent.
Nothing incredible but still a bajillion times better than the crappy Apple ones.
they ok for me.
Never thought I'd say it about three headphones but the note ones are fine. I use then in bed when my fiance and I fall asleep on different continents thanks to Skype. Use my beats studio for music but stock are OK for music too

I was so offended that they were white. My SGS2 stock headphones were black. I had to buy a black headphones just so no one would confuse me from having an iPhone from a far. Apple can suck my Note.
IMO, any and all stock headphones people get are an excuse by the manufacturer for throwing something in. The regular person might say otherwise (that is, if they're not serious about their audio, i'd be more than happy to agree with them) but to these tin ears, they suck a**. Whatever I get gets thrown in an old shoe box with 10-odd pieces and counting. They never get used. Ever. I use my AT CK100 on my note, jh16 on my sansa clip+pico slim, and full-size RS1is on a rockboxed iPod5g.
