Vibrant headphones

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...

below average at best!
The sound like trash
i've had $2 earphones that sounded better!

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.

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.

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.
I should mention I use power amp

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.

I use the original earbuds that came bundled with this phone and Poweramp music player and the sound quality is more than excellent for me. Nice deep bass especially when you turn up the setting on Poweramp.

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.

I use head-direct RE-1's along with cmoybb amp there is crisp sound with great bass.

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.

what's the OP's budget? can never go wrong with a nice pair of sennheiser cans.

Galaxy S3 Official Headphones

Anyone else thinks that the official headphones that comes with the Galaxy S3 doesn't sound good ?
They have no base and some frequencies lack 'depth'. It sounds like i'm listening to music trough an empty can:crying:
I'm looking for a replacement that has a remote that works with Android.
Any recommendation ?

Yeah the stock headphones are pretty terrible
Sent from my SGH-I747M using xda app-developers app

Personally, I don't feel they're that bad. I have a pair of the Sennheiser CX 680's for the gym and I would say that the stock headphones come close to sound quality of the Sennheiser's I have.
They are definitely one of the better pair of stock headphones I've ever heard.

For me the ones that came with the Galaxy S1 were 25x better and sadly they are not compatible with the S3

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.

I didn't think of that but I will try it. thanks!

I am actually quite impressed with the included headphones. I get surprisingly good base with mine. Like the other guy said try using different size covers that they come with.

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
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda premium

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

Best Earphone For Music !!!

Hello Everyone,I'm looking for a good Earphone as i mostly use my Note for music.The Earphone came with my note is good but it's not that loud.So i'm thinking of buying a new one.I heard a lot abt Beats by Dre.So i was thinking of buying this Earphone - http://beatsbydre.com/earphones/beats-tour/beats-beatstour,default,pd.html.But in XDA i saw some bad user review abt it that's it's not good for android phones.So guys i need help to choose the best one.

where are you from? if youre from a place in which there are a lot of imitation (fake) items and beats is one of them, dont bother buying it because half the price that you pay for it goes to the name.. not for the quality of that said earpiece...
If you really are a good ol' time audiophile in which sound quality comes first, go for sennheiser, bose, marshall.. (not in order)
I bought a sennheiser cx-300 II and boy i did not regret it a bit!

Sorry that will not help in any case to find some good Inears
Don't get me wrong your advice is just crap. Especially Bose sells overpriced models which are not worth it.
If you can catch up an Ultimate Ears Triple fi 10 I would recommend that. They are sometimes around 120Dollars at eBay or Amazon. The Beats are around 150 and look better, but the sound of Triple fi is just outstanding for that price. The other upside, I haven't seen any fake of them. UE announced a new replacement for them so try to get them. (Review: http://reviews.cnet.com/headphones/ultimate-ears-triple-fi/4505-7877_7-32492509.html)
But as someone wrote before if you just need some Inears, the S4i from Klipsch is also no bad choice. The difference to the UE's is huge. But everyone has to decide how much sound and price matters. The S4i has a lot of bass, but is not as clear and sharp sounding.

yepp, be aware they are not as hip as the beats. They are big, but the sound is for me better than any 300 to 400 Dollar In Ear.

I have à pair of Shure SE215 and think they're great. They cost around 100 dollars, but I see them on sale allot (I bought them for 50 bucks).
It's not the absolute best, but reasonably priced and great for use on the go.
PS. the Note does not have great audio output anyways, so buying top quality JUST for the Note seems pointless to me.
PPS. I think they sound way better then the Beats by Dre
Just my 2 cents

Beats? Please no. Go over to head-fi.org and ask your question there. Tell them you're about to buy into the beats hype but decided to go do the sensible thing by asking people around you first. There's a lot more to the world of headphones than what gets advertised. And with that, go listen to a pair of beats (doesn't matter what kind, all of them sound muddy anyway) THEN listen to, say, a Beyerdynamic DT1350 (which is in roughly the same price bracket), then report back.

+1 on the Klipsch S4A. Integrates well with Android if you install the app. Bass is pretty good, especially if you use the Beats app.

you can even go for jabra they are also nice

Aiaiai track headphones are great. That's my daily commute headphones. Retro, not for everyone but sound is great ~80us. I have the ATH-50M which are awesome studio level headphones. ~120us these are for work when need to drown out the office noise. Just order Sony xba-bt75. Suppose to be one of the best bluetooth earphones. Kinda expensive. But amazon has them on sale now. Should be getting them this week.

The audio dac on the note is very bad. I do envy my iphone ownimg friends when im listening to music. However i have found that brainwavz beta headphones are pretty good when used on the note. Others have mentioned the klipsch s4 which are also very good but i have no experience with how they sound on the note. My rec is for the brainwavz

I recommend you read this article first.
First, Beats is just an over priced brand with so-so sound characteristics.
If you are really looking for best sound you should always pair your phone with a DAC & External Amplifier (DAC only if the phone is compatible, at this moment iphone and samsing galaxy S3; I am waiting for Note 2 to show up so I can test if it works with my FiiO E17)
If you listen OUTSIDE / OFFICE look for CLOSED headphones. If you listen in your HOME look for OPEN headphones.
Most of top end headphones require an amplifier. Check FiiO (they are very good and a good bang for your money)
If you just want a great pair of cans with GREAT sound and very good value look for Audio Technica ATH-M50 ($159) video here
WAY WAY BETTER THAN Beats. And cheaper.
For In Ear Monitors I prefer the Westone 4R. The sound is simply amazing without the need for an amplifier.
Hope it helped. Best

which brand is very good for Samsung galaxy S2?

I use the Atomic Floyd HiDefDrum / HiDefDrum with Remote
http://www.atomicfloyd.com/hidefdrum
I've been using them for about 2 years and love the sound, they've been good on the S2 and provide crisp clear highs and not headache inducing bass. I'd say they're about a 7/10 on bass (on levels of overwhelmingness) so its comfortable for long listening but satisfying levels of lows.
They have fabric based cords so its pretty good for avoiding tangles and relatively easy to detangle.
They do come with a 1 button answer/end and microphone however it is about 14 inches from the earpiece so letting it dangle the other end does say the phone call seems to be a bit quiet until I bring the microphone closer

Sorry guys coming from Nokia Symbian to S2 android I had a set of Monster Nokia purity in ears bargain on eBay.
Have to say they sound awesome on the S2. And work well for calls too although the volume/ answer inline button does not work with the Galaxy.

I thought there was no hope for the S2, when it came to playing my mp3's. The i300 sennheiser work excellent, not too expensive either!! Highly recommend.
