Santa thought I was a good boy this year and brought me a bluetooth handsfree that you can plug your own headphones into (Jabra BT3030 'Dogtag'). The headphones that come with it are, and let's be charitable here, terrible. The frequency range is totally messed up with vocal tones being subdued and overwhelmed by music.
When I plug in my other "adequate" headphones, they are "good enough". "Good enough" is a huge improvement over "terrible", but I want "WOW!"
I'm asking what earbud headphones people recommend. The only provisos are that they must have a 3.5mm jack and cost less than £20.
You won't find a lot of good earphones for 20 quid, but a decent pair of earphones around that price are the Sennheiser CX300's.
http://mp4nation.net/catalog/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=62_69&products_id=390
These easily beat out $150 earphones, and they're having a special right now. If you like their page on Facebook, they're on sale for $30 usd, which puts it right at the 20 GBP mark you're looking for. I own these, and I'm absolutely amazed by the sound. Check Head-fi.org if you want more reviews.
They better than ATH CKM55?
The Soundmagic pl50s are amazing if you're willing to splurge a little.
Otherwise, the pl30 should fall right within your price range and offer great sound and decent build quality/ accessories..
I think mp4nation mentioned above carries the entire soundmagic line, apart ftom the mp21s which also sport a mic..
my skullcandy titans do the job perfectly.
Add Nationite N2 8GB Hi-Fi MP3 Player($84.50) and Brainwavz M2 In-Ear Headphones (Black) ($59.50) to Amazon Cart and you get Brainwavz M2 for free.
I use some Sennheiser HD202's with my Vodafone 845 (and laptop and everything else that uses a 3.5mm connector).....the only problem is is that they have a 3m cable and cost £35....
Plus one on the HD 202 Senns if you don't mind the bulk, you can frequently find them for under 20gbp in local electronics chains (What's the welsh equivalent of Saturn and Mediamarkt? ).
Another great set from Sennheiser are the PX100s (which coincidentally beat the more expensive px200 and px250), should be in the 30-40 pound range though..
The Sennheiser CX300 and ATH ckm55 are both good sets in the <50 pound section, but still, most people in the head-fi forums swear over the soundmagic IEM headphones in this range.
All in all, first decide if you want In Ear or standard headphones.. In the 20gbp range, you can get great headphones by Sennheiser and Sony, but i find them tiring as they won't fit my ears and isolate well enough.
IEMs give the best isolation and there are some true gems like the pl/mp21 and pl30 in that range, as well as way better sets if you raise your budget a bit.
Open headphones like the HD202 are an acquired taste, you either love them or hate them as looks and comfort goes, but offer the richest sound for that pricerange (but be prepared to annoy everyone around you).
Whatever you do, try to avoid ebay. Mp4nation is an ok site, focalprice less so. The creative and sennheisers in there are most likely clones, so, if it seems too cheap, it probably ain't legit.
I had the V-Moda Vibe earbud headphones. They were great while they lasted, as I'm not gentle with my earphones. Sound was great, good price ($27 USD on Amazon) and they come in a decent selection of colors, though they all look good.

What are a good durable pair of headphones for running?
Skullcandy's are always duriable and sound great!
No skullcandy's aren't great at all!

I can't agree with that. Have you ever compared a skullcandy headphone to some other headphones in the same price range? It's just a good brandname but it has no sound quality.
For running i would recommend a bluetooth headset (dispite the lose of sound quality). I would recommend the AKG K830BT. I tested this with some other BT-headphones from philips, sony and sennheiser. I was overwhelmed by the amazing sound that came from the AKG headphone! Never imagined it would be posible to get such great music quality over bluetooth.
Beats by Dr dre but quality increases the price..

Koss plug, sound great and are cheap ......,..
hit thanks ...it's free!
I wouldn't use full headphones for running. Use plugs. But, Sony's Studios are pretty good, and you can get them for like 20 bucks at an electronic store near you
I love my Klipsch S4a image for general listening, and i go with seinheiser addidas (whichever one you like) for running.
Klipsches are great for the money.
Get Sennheiser CX250's....i believe thats the number at least...they are supposed to be 90 bucks but for some reason FYE sells them for 20. I have those and Beats In-Ears and I can attest that they are almost identical in terms of quality/bass/loudness, but for a fraction of the price.
skullcandies aren't durable but they are good, i would get the type they sell at sport authority that are meant for running.
beats is grossly overpriced, nobody should own beats that is interested in audio quality, they are for looks only
Sennheiser HD25's mate... http://www.amazon.co.uk/Sennheiser-...CGH6/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1329254193&sr=8-4
Best headphones I've ever used - they make beats seem crap!
Not a bad price either considering they're what nearly all sound engineers use, you've probs seen camera men using them on tv
Klipsche, as said before are great, I owned a pair of S4's and they were very good for my morning runs as they are so small yet have a great fit
However, they somewhat lacked in sound quality, I opted for a pair of Zion midnight earphones from the New Marley range for $130 CND dollars and these do the job for me, also the Braided lead eliminates that 'thudding' sound when hitting against you during a run.

Sennheiser and Beats by Dr. Dre. Any brand is a great choice!
Don't have a specific recommendation but I'm against buying these brands, brands I feel spend more on advertisement, style, and status than r&d.
1. Bose
2. Beats
3. Skullcandy
Beats are horrible for the price.
Skullcandy in general is horrible.
Bose is overpriced Hype.
Check Head-fi.org for real headphones.
I have Beyerdynamics 880 250ohm, they sound great but are not for portable use.
I have some budget portable headphones from monoprice.
Check out these reviews. I personally love the $7.11 8320s. The DJ headphones are nice but they can't compare to my Beyerdynamic 880.

I'm gonna try these for working out and possible mountain-biking........ a friend had them and let me use them, sounded great and easy to use.
Sony PIIQ line, almost any Shure buds, V-Moda. I'd go for a cheap pair if I were you, just so you don't cry over it when it breaks.
Koss Porta Pro is the best headphone I had so far. Further more it's classic.
Skullcandy? Bose? Beats?
Are you trolling?
It all depends on what you want for a sound. For all-around sounds I'd advise you to get Sennheiser cx300s, they're all-around ok.
If you don't care about spending a bit more money I'd recommend you to check out head-fi.org, they're the pros and can give you more in-depth advice.
Hi guys,
I'm having Samsung galaxy s2 and the headphone came with was not good it was crappy...
before using this i had a sennheiser cx180 for my apple ipod it was superb and worth for pay...

(and yes, they do have a microphone)
hi

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.

Hey
For those not wanting to miss good music quality while they're not at home, I started this thread.
1. Use Poweramp or another music player from the Play Store. The standard Players often don't have a multi-channel equalizer, so these programms are worth their price.
2.Good in ear-earphones cost more than 150$. So don't have long pockets and short arms.
I made very good experiences with Shure Headphones. They start at around 100$
but you can also spend 500$ if you are audiophile.
I bought the Shure SE315 for around 160$ and im very contended.
Please share your Experiences with other brands or models here. Thank you.

Westone 1 Use with the Grey Memory foam, comfy, low profile, the best overall for me daily IEM and motorcycle IEM, great for all genres of music... Country to dubstep = ) or Yanni to Cradle of filth... so basically everything- Good seal = awesome sound some of the other inserts that came with it didn't seal as well and wasn't impressed at first.
Shure EC5 Most $$$ Awesome, Huge Size, Best Sounding IEM I have ever used!!!
Shure SE215 Not bad Bassy, lack of overall Mid and High CLARITY- Comfy
Senheiser Adidas MX 680 Great for running/exercising- Overall a flat EQ w/bass hint
Sony EX310 Great sound hated the overall fit to clunky...
Klipsch S4 HATED THESE? OMG why do they get good reviews??? AHH!!!
I saw the thread you started in the i9000 forum. Does Poweramp interact directly with the DAC? I believe Voodoo Sound skips the Android channel mixer, using the i9000's Wolfson DAC chip directly. The sound is amazing. I use it straight no equalizer (personal prefs), but you can salt+pepper to taste with DSP Manager. This seriously made the i9000 the best portable media player I've ever owned. Bonus that I don't need a headphone amp, too.
I used to have a bad headphone habit. I'm pared down to three now, and only two get regular use. $100-$150 is a good benchmark, but don't neglect the handful of great headphones under $50. There's other threads about that in Android and i9000 accessories, but my faves in that category are the Koss Porta Pros, Sennheiser PX200, and the discontinued Sennheiser MX500. They started a new line, and I'm using Senn's MX471s for daily beater headphones now, and they sound great after burn-in. In that in-between period, a lot of people seemed to switch over to the Yuin PK3.
In the upper end, I love the Sennheiser HD25-1. It's one of the standards for TV/radio news for its great clarity and noise-blocking. There's a great little company out of Brooklyn, too -- Grado, for open headphones. They did a collaboration with another 'boutique' hi-fi shop, Allessandro, and made some great headphones. I have the MS-1 and it doesn't get as much love as it should. Way more airy + super clear mids and highs, and you can hear amazing separation of instruments. The HD25-1 is good there too, with a stronger but clear bass.

looking for a good priced pair of headphones for use in a office environment. Need something that will block out noise from other conversations etc but provide a cd quality or better listening experience.
Really wanna go bluetooth but cant find much.
Also would prefer them to fit over the ear.
Could you guys help me find a pair?

I used to use the Senn PX200 and then the HD25-1 in an office to block out noise, sometimes not even plugged into anything. Both are great headphones. The HD25 is now called the HD25-1 II, and *should not* be confused with the cheaper HD-25SP. For a little more on the 25-1, you get a lot.
The stock earbuds that come with the Gnex aren't half bad. SHURE makes great earbuds.
Agree with Shure. I'm in love with my SE215.
I love my ibeats

Sennheiser makes good earphones
i can't belive someone brought beats into this thread, but i use sol republic amps HD when out and about and sennheiser something at home
Tough mission
I'm still waiting for a good mobile headphones. The problem is you can't try them before buying so it makes the searching efforts frustrating.
i was able to try those earbud beats and they are good. They're mainstream and sometimes an eyesore seeing everyone wearing them, but in the end of the day, you want some good sounds, the beats can help you with that.

I kind of disagree with this statement.
Good in ear-earphones can easily be bought for 80euros (or around 100$) and up. I am currently owning Sennheiser in-ears for around 60 Euros (don't ask me about the model)
Also Klipsch does high quality in-ears for a very reasonable price.
Secondly, it highly depends on your Hardware. My Desire doesn't serve as a decent MP3 player at all, as you can hear so much interference with the antenna.
Arrow Best high end earphones for mobile use
nokia earphones and samsung are of high quality
Skull crusher from Skull Candy. its very good earphones!!
i will buy when i have the money
I like the Marshall Major headphones, really good heaphones in my opinion. I`ve just got them today!
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.

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...
