Just grabbed a pair of Sony xba1 for $60. They sound great for the price and super small too.

Soundmagic E10.... currently using. It is far far better than even stock iphone ear phones.. Outstanding soundstage... It will cost you for around $30 - $35.. You can also google for its detailed review...
For a review you can check this link. http://anythingbutipod.com/2011/08/soundmagic-e10-review/

Phones ware OK for me, but when i get Seenheiser HD518, i reborn.

Some of the htc beats can be found online for a pretty good deal they sound great havent got my s3 yet to see if the music controls work yet tho. Im surprised you say the iphone ones work good those are terrible worst headphones ever always blowing out with cheap sound quality.

AKG K451
I am now using AKG K450 and the only difference between K451 and K450 is that K451 has a mic. That's all
AKG is amazing sound and it does very well on pop and something like that
It's worth it

Beats audio.

So did the beats audio files every really work on our phones?
I personally couldn't tell the difference, but it may be because I didn't put the files in the right spot because I placed them in the folders myself, not just flashed the .zip.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
Beats audio is a built in equalizer which sounds like poop unless you can control it. That I think on phones its all software not hardware like on laptops. I have the DV6 from HP with beats and stock its terrible... had to adjust and even then it likes to dim when treble is too high and sounds stupid.

You both know nothing about audio. Beats are only popular because they are well advertised and look cool. There are much better headphones and audio drivers. The epic does not even need this placebo crap because we have a wolfson audio chip.

Or better yet The older Skull Candy's reason why is the company who makes the speakers for them changed a afew years ago so now they don't sound as good as they used to.
But I really like Klipsch. I have their Pro Media 2.1 for Pc Has some good hard hitting bass.

Don't have them, but thought some of you may be interested. Personally, I thought the ones that came with my phone sounded pretty good. When I have bought some, though, I usually get skull candy.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA
I got some $20 skullcandy headphones on amazon that work great. I also have some vmoda ear plug type that I got back with my original iphone. I like the sound but when I put things in my ear they get itchy. I'm not an audiophile but since I am working on my masters in engineering I know a few people who do a lot with audio and they all say beats is a marketing gimmick. I've personally never put on a pair though.

Something we can agree on, this guy in my speech class said he had paid 400$ for them b/c of warranty and he says the sound amazing, and the bass is good I wanted to laugh so effing hard and state some damn facts of how ****ty they are regardless it his opinion but clearly he hasn't listen to some good damn headphones. I think in all honesty my damn 80$ Klipsch s4's sound better than that POS. The bass go outs in one ear in the beats, design is ****ty. Must I Go ON, with Build Quality.
Its all about the speaker drivers and architecture it uses. The amount of impedance it has, OHM's, etc...
There are two types of main speaker drivers and they are dynamic or something else I can't remember but its more like actual live sound the Klipsch x10 use them if I'm not mistaken

Are you trying to argue for the sake of being heard? I specified what they were equivalent in, they're both garbage. I even went on and gave more descriptive words to define their laughable "quality". Please read carefully or dispute with a bit more of intelligence, but please, do state if you're like 13, I don't find myself a point in arguing with children. Lol, I know you may be slightly butt-hurt / bitter because it was your money that was spent on skull candy's, I'm not hating on the Brand, just the quality sound it lacks to offer. I'd sell your skull candy's to some noob/sucker and invest on some CX 300's on Amazon, you'll want to marry me for recommending such an amazing affordable choice.

Samsung Headphones supplied with N7000

So... I got my note yesterday.. Updated to 4.0.3 rooted it etc...

I use pretty high end etymotic and klipsch in-ear-monitors, and once you try those, you can't go back to cheap earphones. Everyone's different though.
Ive always liked Samsung stock headphones. I like the way they fit in my ear, I know they are not as good as some expensive ones but combined with voodoo sound and a nice equalizer they're pretty impressive.
That being said, I use my beats headphones all the time now, They where free with my HTC.
The Stock one is good.But I also have the free sennheiser px100ii with galaxy note.Feels like heaven while listening music with it .

Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda app-developers app
To be honest i've found the stock headphones fine until I flashed a new ROM with Beats Audio installed. Just can handle the bass now.:laugh:
They are not bad for the price which is free. I also have a pair of klipsch android version which for the price are amazing, I also have a pair of beats tour which are ok a bit to much base but sounds good with awesome beats equalizer. Now my go to head set is the Bowers & Wilkins p5's they are simply amazing.
The stock Note headphones are on the cheap side and that shows on the audio quality. I use some old in-ear dual drive Panasonic headphones and the difference is huge. The next step for me is the Martin Logan Mikros 70.
not sure...till now its still in the box.
i think their the normal ones samsung supplies cos i got similar ones with my gs2 also
They are o.k for a standard set. - But the quality of the earphones are not as good as in the past. Still have a couple of earphones from my samsung omnia, and they go much louder than these delivered with the note.
But if you want to use them for high end music they are quite rubbish I think
After some good usage out of them I've realised they're not as great as I originally made out... Still good for free and will be ample until I can get a decent set.

Dude.. do you not review products before you buy them?? Beats headphones are a pure marketing ploy. While thy have really good build quality, the sound they output is worth MUCH less than they retail for. We have Beats headphones at work and a few friends have some beats buds. I have a $100 pair of Sonys I bought 3 years ago that blow any of the Beats headphones out of the water.
Do your research. Unless you don't care about sound quality, you have much better alternatives out there.

To be honest you should really look into Klipsch brand buds they are honestly the best bang for the buck headphones i have ever purchased and they come with a 2 year warranty! Who does that?! I researched and tested many and they have the hands down best sound quality for under 100$ you can hear distintive tones and pitches simultaneously and hear high and lows while having some noise canceling ability.
have stuck to this brand for 3 years cauase they are awesome.

Bluetooth ones will more than likely have all controls (volume and answer buttons) working. I strongly recommend the Apple Earpods though if you care about the microphone. I have tried many highly praised wired/BT headsets and none of them have usable mics on the N5.

Currently using these Bluetooth 4.0 Headphones with volume adjust buttons, mic, and a power button. Relatively simple. One piece of wire that connects the two pair of headphones and a small battery in the two earbuds that can play about 4-5 hours of music streaming over Bluetooth. I usually work out with these, so I had to get a pair of Bluetooth headphones that are light! So I can testify to their quality! Sound is solid as well, the sound is fairly close to my Klipsch S4 (II) earbuds. Headphones? Meh, I never buy bluetooth for those haha.

I couldn't find the US link to them, but I figured this should be a good lead. :victory:

Those are a great deal. I wonder if I can get them shipped to the states cause they're really well priced.

I found the link for the US a while back, it was pretty recent when I say a while back. Maybe a month at best? So, I hope you find the link, I tried to search for the U.S link briefly, but they are definitely worth the buy.

Monster n-ergy!!! http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B009HL54DG/ref=redir_mdp_mobile?pc_redir=1388114642 ... same as urbeats with better features and a better price... They have perfect balance of bass..they have a magnet inside each earbud so u can hang them quickly around your neck when not in use instead of them hanging over ur chest where they can get kinda annoying..they have a pause and play along with mic that i can verify works with the nexus 5..you always get what you pay for when it comes to headphones unless there beats in which ur paying a whole lot for monster headphones with a different logo..at 60 bucks these headphones are the best bang for your buck

These headphones are better sound quality and cheaper. They also come with 3 button controls. This is a way better buy then spending on 60 monsters. I'm an audiophile and use this for the gym and to beat up. My regular studio headphones are vmoda m100s if that helps you identify my music quality.

Yeah man I was surprised by them when I got them. I found them on eBay and I tuned them in viper4android and I was blown away. Really good headphones for beaters.

Yeah, I'm not an "audiophile" (I really, REALLY hate that word) but I am an audio enthusiast (been in the audio industry for 15+ years), and I gotta recommend staying away from anything Monster or Beats branded. You are paying 10% for the headphone, 90% for the brand, and they generally sound like crap.
You want good buds for a good price, go with Yuin. IEMs- Shure or Westone. Cans- Sony, Beyerdynamic, higher end Sennheiser (their low end is crap), Grado, some AKG, HiFiMan, certain V-Modas. Portable supra aurals- Ultrasone has some good ones and the Koss Porta Pro's are pretty much unparalleled for their price and I'm pretty sure that they have ones with mics and controls now.
Bottom line, if they are mainstream and all your friends say to buy them, don't. The best values can be found in brands that don't spend millions on advertising.
