[Q] What headphones are you going to use with your One X - HTC One X

From the other thread, as people were getting antsy!
I'll be using a pair of Sennheiser PXC BT 360 headphones with apt-x built in, and am looking forward to the increase in quality.
I'm also looking at getting a pair of jaybird sb2 sports bands for using in the gym, as they are aptx enabled too!

To be fair it was the general information thread, for some reason I thought I was posting in the beats topic
As I said in the other topic, Audeo PFE 122's - http://www.amazon.co.uk/Phonak-Audéo-PFE-122-Earphones/dp/B001LTZA7C
They have a microphone on them, so I'm good to go with hands free.

Good head start OP, I also want to hear more views about others' headphone...then can get myself a good one...

Check these headphones out they are cheap plus they are amazing way way better than beats trust me these are excellent headphones for a cheap price!!!!
http://www.amazon.co.uk/JVC-HAFX1X-Xtreme-Xplosives-Headphones/dp/B004S7Q8CA
If the htc one x did come with beats I would of sold them!

Panasonic RP-HJE900, with comply earbuds. Great earphones, and tough enough (zirconia) to last forever. None of this childish 'beats' crap, thankyouverymuch...

Westone 3s. I love em

I think I'll continue using my Sony MW800.

I will go for a-JAYS One+, cdon.com in Sweden are throwing these in for free! And if you get a flatrate subscription from either 3 or Tele2 you'll get the phone for free. The operators in Sweden have a price war!

I bought some SoundMagic E10 In-Ear Earphones (Silver / Black) from Play:
http://www.play.com/Electronics/Electronics/4-/21896668/-/Product.html?ptsl=1
They got some good reviews considering the price.
Missed out on the Denon AHC560R when they were £24.99 (gutted!)

Sennheiser cans. Can't stand in-ear headphones, I've never tried any that weren't either uncomfortable or painful, and I'm not the kind of person who feels the need to shut out the world and listen to music when I'm out walking. Only times I'll be using headphones is when I'm on a plane (in which case it'll be my Sennheiser PXC450 noise cancelling cans), or when I'm at home (in which case I'll use my superb Sennheiser HD650 cans).

but if u want a cool sound and an relaxing one you have to use them without beats activated..and using another player that has EQU and using it you can put select different profiles(bass, low bass, bass and treble, rock etc)
I'm using Poweramp and ...poweramd kills "beats" at quality...
Just to know if u buy this headset .
you must use fake ones? my homie got one pair and with beats audio they sound FANTASTIC!! i was thinking about buying them as "portable" music playback because i usually only use over ear

use something LIKE sennhaiser or candy skull and after tell me about the Earpods ..how they are compared to what i've just told u.
u dont know about akg? i don´t think that you have much knowledge about headphones and stuff :good:

i;ve buyed the iphone 5 ones now because i love the shape ..simply briliant..u dont feel them.
i've managed to make some changes to poweramp settings and now the sound is really good.
ttt
alot of good headsets.thanks, that my dream .........:silly:
Turning it on means better quality and effects.Dont mind it

MEELECTRONICS AirFi Matrix Bluetooth Headphones

Hey XDA
Just throwing out a review for those of you interested in some quality Bluetooth headphones.
I have had these guys for a week and I've tried them on all sorts of music since I am part of a multi media team for a church. We edit and sample all genres of music so I decided to try these out for our work.
Build quality
They seem to be made with very good materials. I've had several other over the ear headphones that feel very flimsy and cheap; this is not the case with these. The adjustable parts on the headphones are very firm and not loose at all maybe even a bit too firm which I appreciate. The carbon fiber part is a cushion and not plastic which was surprising but not bad by any means.
Fit
The fit on these are excellent. They are snug and feel great. After a while you forget you're wearing them which is a plus since I would wear them for hours at a time. The cushions are very soft and there's just something about them that feels awesome.
Functionality
The Bluetooth part works excellent. Pairing took five seconds. They have never dropped Bluetooth connection on my S3, my MacBook Pro, my wife's iPhone, and a few other phones we tested. Pausing the music and answering calls also worked perfect. Battery lasts quite a while and I love that I can use the aux cable for those devices with no Bluetooth.
Sound
Music on these headphones sounds amazing. I am not a fan of many headphones out there with over killed bass but I do like a decent thump - these babies delivered perfectly! Highs were very clear and crisp, mids were present but didn't give them a muddy sound. Call quality was great as well. The person OK the other end heard me perfectly. Volume on the headphones for call was good. I could hear clearly almost as good as the earpiece on my phone.
Overall I really likes these headphones. They have been great for me with everything I do. I like the case they come in and the face that they are quite portable with their rotatable earpiece. I loved that they charge with USB so that makes it easy wherever I'm at.

Update?
cor4twenty,
It's been a while since you reviewed these BT headphones. Curious how they've held up, if they're still working for you or if you've moved on to something else?
Let me know,

Review of HAVIT Bluetooth Headphones with NFC (with pictures)

This is a review of a pair of Havit on-ear headphones with bluetooth and nfc: http://www.amazon.com/HV-H2555BT-Bluetooth-Wireless-Hands-free-Streaming/dp/B00UL4F22G
I don't really use headphones very often on the go and therefore I didn't think much about getting any, till Havit reached out to me and asked if I wanted to have a look at one of their pairs of bluetooth headphones. I've now used these for a few days and this is my review of the headphones.
The headphones came in a nice little box made out of thick paper and plastic, with a big window that showcased the actual headphones. Inside the box there was a few information booklets, a microUSB cable, a 3,5mm audiocable as well as the headphones themselves. One thing I should mention already is that this box was much better designed than the one for the bluetooth headset, and it was much easier to pop open as well.
The headphones themselves is made out of plastic and a leather knockoff material for the headband, as well as some metal that holds up the actual earcups. The earcups and the headband are padded and feels really soft, but they did not use memory foam on these as it's regular foam; That is however totally acceptable at this price point, and overall these headphones feel quite comfortable. However, I've got one minor complaint and that is that these headphones leak quite a bit due to that they're a pair of on-ear headphones.
Soundwise they sound quite good, and these headphones have a quite punchy bass that's almost a bit "beats styled" which means that it's a bit boosted. The downside of the bass boost is actually that the sound is not so clear, and they might sound a bit muddy for some people that do not prefer a lot of bass.
The headphones pair easily using bluetooth as well, and if your phone supports NFC you can just hold it towards the NFC logo on one of the earcups and it should pair by itself. This is a really neat feature and it makes it easy to pair these with a new device, and saves some time for new users. The headphones are equipped with touch controlls as well, and they actually work fine but it's easy to activate them by accident.
So overall, this is a quite nice pair of headphones; However, this product isn't free from issues but they're minor compared to how much pros these headphones have - and the price tag is low as well so therefore I really like these.

Review: Pacuwi Bluetooth Earphones w/ pictures

This is a review of a pair of bluetooth earphones from Pacuwi - http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B018FN925M (Coupon: PAZPHSYF)
In the past I've reviewed many different bluetooth earphones in many different price ranges, such as the Axigio Sprint to MPow Swift. Recently a company named Pacuwi reached out to me and asked if I wanted to have a look at one of their affordable offerings in the bluetooth earphone market. Let's have a look at the actual product, shall we?
So first of all, when it comes to the actual packaging of the product I'm rather pleased to say the least, as the packaging itself offer a nice unboxing experience and it's made out of a kind cardboard that looks really nice. One of thing the packaging lacks is information about the product, but other than that it's very nice. Inside of the packaging there's a manual, a USB-cable, carrying bag for the earphones and the earphones themselves.
The earphones themselves are made out of kind of glossy plastic and can be ordered in multiple different colours, but it doesn't look or feel very premium. At the side of one of the earphones there's a MicroUSB cable, and also there's a multifunction button and volume buttons on them. The earphones connect to eachother with a cable that you put behind your neck, which works really nicely I must say. So when it comes to the audio quality, they sound better than I expected when I first removed them from the packaging. They have nice audio quality in general, but the bass is a bit too strong for my taste and there's a bit of a lack of details - which is very common on sub <$30 earphones and I can't really complain. The audio is free from noise that are often seen in cheaper earphones, and these really exceeded my expectations.
So conclusion; these earphones are very good if you're on a budget and I really like them due to the low price, and the fact that they bring lots of features to the table. They're also one of the cheapest pair of bluetooth earphones on the market, which makes these an ideal choice if you're on a budget.
Note that the item was provided to me in exchange of my review, but that doesn't affect my review whatsoever.

[Review] Somic V4 - HiFi on a budget? (w/ pictures)

I was on the lookout for a new pair of earphones as my old pairs broke and as I don’t trust myself with expensive in-ears, I went online and started to look for a new pair to go along with my phone. After a bit of looking, the Somic V4’s instantly caught my eyes as they were similar looking to my old pair (TTPod T1S) and the cable looked great, so I placed an order and have now been properly able to test them out.
The packaging of these earphones is made out cardboard and looks pretty good, and opens up like a book showcasing the earphones. Inside of the packaging you can find some manuals in Chinese, some double-flange ear tips, as well as the earphones themselves. There’s no extra goodies such as a shirt clip or a pouch to store them in, but that’s to be expected for a sub <20 USD pair of earphones.
When it comes to the ear tips of these, I can directly say that they didn’t work out very well for me, and I had to use an older pair of ear-tips from another pair of earphones. The double-flange ear tips didn’t stay in my ears and just made the sound very hollow, but after replacing them I was able to get a perfect seal and the audio turned out to be better than what I expected for 20 USD, but more on that later.
My favorite part of these earphones is the cable, as it gives an illusion of that these earphones cost a lot more than they really do, and I also love the fact that the angled audio jack is very robust and solid. However, the cable also comes with its disadvantages as it tangles up pretty easily and it can easily get annoying if you don’t straighten it out every now and then.
But do they sound any good? Yes, definitely and I really like the sound of these in general. First off, they have some very decent lows, with a deep and quick bass that suits for the type of music that I listen to. When it comes to the mids, they are very detailed and dominant, but they're not overwhelming or exaggerated either, which is just a positive thing. The treble on these is also pretty sharp, but it really doesn’t hurt the ears either and provide a good experience really.
Overall, if you’re on a budget a need a pair of earphones for <20 USD, these are definitely a steal considering that they offer such an amazing value for the money. They both sound good, give an illusion of being more expensive than they really are and they also feel sturdy. Definitely a pair that I can personally recommend and I’m using them as daily drivers with my phone for now!
