post here your opinions and experiences about the best earphones on the market
I dunno, it kind of depends on best for what. Cans vs buds, what kind of sound you personally like, what price-range we're talking about, et cetera.
Headphones can go upward of $1000 - this is a situation where most people don't want THE BEST, but the best their budget can afford - but there are many options and in plenty of things it's a matter of taste.

i have the 8.A, best experience of all IEM so far
I used to use some Ultimate Ears Triple.Fi 10 Pro with a silver cable, they were awesome too, and you can grab them new from ebay for about 170$ (with crappy standard cable, but that should be enough for most ppl)
For me, the best value are the AKG K-315 earphones... at least for listening to music in more or less quiet places, because if it is very noisy In-Ear-Phones are better. (I have to say I bought them for €15, they seem to be cheaper here in Europe than in the US)
I just love them, they sound natural, no over-amplification of anything, no need to play around with Equalizers and stuff, plus they are very comfortable to wear, the left earbud has a little bump so I don't need to look at them to know which one is the left/right... and I don't have to reach to the mp3-Player/Phone to change the volume, as they have a little slider on the cord.
But they are just phones, so no headset function, but as I listen to my music on my dedicated mp3 Player most of the time, that's not an issue for me.
Sorry if this sounded like an advertisment, but they are just that good IMHO.
i've never had a problem with skull candy
I got the Plantronics BackBeat GO (BT), good build lightweigt. but its a little to quiet... overall good earbuds
for me personally its my sennheiser mx370 as i dont like in ears and they hold up really well,
all my previous earphones did get busted in 1 or 2 years but they live since 4 years
i use Creative EP 630 .
i dont like inEars so much, but i need some inEars for my GalaxyAce.
buy it from amazon for 11€ some years ago, and they're really nice and the price is good too.:good:

Sennheiser , Skullcandy and beats.
Sony..
I have a pair of Sony MDR-NC7 headphones that I have beat the hell out of. I'm one to accidentally pull the cord quite aggressively and there is no retraction of the insulation and very minimal ware. I accually ended up sitting on them and snapping the headband so I decided to give melting the pastic with a touch a try and it worked and this happened about 2 or so years ago so I would definitely recommend this brand for reliability.
DON'T buy that WESC-****!
I bought them for my sister for her birthday. after 6 months it broke....
But in my opinion the 50€-WESC had the same sound quality like the Beats Mixr, which is far more expensive.
I use Beats by Dr.Dre also heard this Skullcandy which is availble at virgin megastores in my country

I was always a big fan if KOSS. I am using Sporta Pro. I think they are good buy for portable size and quality.
how about the Apple ones ? I had them for a while but haven't been really satisfied from the quality. I'm thinking about ~$25-40 price range. with mic.

HAHAHAHA!! Truth. I love skullcandy headphones! Lifetime warranty is amazing! It doesn't even matter if you broke them or they were defective, you just send them in and they send you new ones! FMJs are my favourite nice bass that isn't over-powering!
I use cheap skullcandy's.

I am involved in competitive cycling and use these for my ride also. Even after a 6 or 7 hour bike ride I can't even tell that I have had earphones in my ear. Just be sure to try the different size gel pieces. I believe they come with size medium on them so when I first tried them it wasn't a great fit. I put on the large and it fit like it was made for my ear.

I've tried headphones a fifth of the price that have 90% of the sound quality so I wouldn't burn my money on having a designer label, and anyway the S3 sound quality really isn't that good compared to even some other phones I tried.
The sound quality of yhe earphonea are great. I dont think anyone is expecting a studio surround sound out of the phone. Its bot just about the sound quality. Its so nice to have an in ear earphone that you dont have to worry abiut falking out or being pulled out of the ear. Its worth it if you can.

Klipsch makes possibly the best in ear headphones out there...
They dont stay in the ear like bose earphones though. sound quality may be better, but I from experience can tell you that the bose is more comfortable, stays in the ear until you dont want them to be there anymore and the cables are damn near tangle proof.
Have a look at this comparison thread. It's the most comprehensive unbiased test I've found on the Internet
At $100 the Shure SE215 scored as well or better than many sets that cost 3x more.
If you are going to invest in a quality set, make sure they have replaceable cables since that is the most likely point of failure over time.
I've got a set of the Gen1 in-ear that I've had for years and love them. I recently added a set of the Gen2 inserts (you can swap them out on the holder style) and they are even better! They stay put when running/riding/lifting and you don't even realize you have them in. Definitely worth it.
Bose is not as good as everyone thinks they are. Who told you that Bose makes quality products? Heard it from a family member? A post on the Internet? Just google Bose quality or similar topics. My $5 pair of in-ear phones from Big Lots sound and feel good.

Bose are good but nowhere near as good as the price you paying for them, because Bose is like a designer label and a lot of people pay more because of who they are not what they do.
You are intitled to your opinion, but I highly disagree. I have had several pair of $20-$40 earbuds. Several because they were only good for a minimal time frame. made a step up to $60-$100 sets and there was a considerable difference in quality. 3 pair of $100 sets and lastly bought my bose IE2 and they are by FAR the best set I have had, sound quality and comfort.
but like i said, you are totally entitled to think what you want. each person has different experiences when comparing products.

Well as everyone knows Beats are ridiculously overpriced, the sound they provide is nowhere near the price they charge, yes they do look nice but just way too expensive. So I shopped around and found what are essentially beats without the same price tag (RRP they are but sell for much cheaper on ebay), the headphones I refer to are the Monster Purity HD's. As everyone knows Monster makes Beats, the Purity HD's are essentially Solo HD's with a rectangular ear cup, slightly less bass and clearer sound. Same headband and everything, really nice looking cans, got them today after winning them on ebay for £38 brand new and sealed.
I think the reason for how cheap they sell is they have been made in conjunction with Nokia for WP7 phones so uninformed people dont realise they are made by the same company as beats and think they are Nokia headphones, good news is also the cable with the ControlTalk controls works right out of the box with the S3, that means answer/end calls, play/pause music, turn volume up/down using the controller without ever touching your phone. Awesome. Anyway thought it might be of use to people who like the look of beats but not the pricetag they come with. Enjoy.
Thanks for the heads up. I've started shopping around as well and couldn't justify dropping the $$$ on Bose or those Beats headphones. I'll take a look at these.

thanks OP, bought a pair a few days ago... delivered today and the sound quality and build quality for the price blows me away!
so i hear this question all the time, for every phone. i personally use $15 sony earbuds, but if you are looking for the best and dont mind spending money....
The Most Intense Ear Buds Sennheiser Has Ever Made will run you about $1000 according to reviews, but i haven't found anywhere to buy them...
If you are trying to save money, the IE80's will run you under $400
but seriously, i think they have some for under $20 also =)
Well I must say that ie80's working great together with sgs3...

Picked up the Monster Turbine Gold's for $140 on sale at Amazon a while back... love em!
Audio is extremely subjective. Not everyone has the same hearing, the same sound signature preferences or even budget for that matter. Headfi is a good place to get started, but in order to appreciate the sound of the headphones, words are not nearly enough You'll have to give them a listen yourself.
I own 3 headphones I use with my S3.
1st. Samsung Infuse Earphones that came with that phone when I got it back in March. Works good for me honestly.
2nd. Motorola S9-HD 1stGen. Bluetooth. Yeah they actually still work even with all my sweat in them. Sounds good but can't get good bass cause I lost my large ear cushions for them.
3rd. My Motorola S805? I believe that came with my Giro snowboarding helmet 3 years ago. Those things are also still kicking!!!
Yeah I take care of my stuff. Honestly though, clear sound is important, but holy flippin' crap I'm not spending $400 for music listening!!!
I find my s3 oem is good enough for daily use . I also have klipsch x10 which is amazing for its size the only thing bad about the klipsch is the built quality other than that the sound is superb !

IE800 are much, much better:
http://en-de.sennheiser.com/ie-800
They can be fitted with a cable that works 100% with Samsung Galaxy S series phones.
I have used Audeo Phonak PFE 022 and cannot recommend them: the mic is really not very good and the sound quality left me wanting compared to even Sennheiser's low end line, like mm70i.
There really aren't very many good mic-headsets that work with Galaxy S III without any additional adapter cables and w/ full inline remote controls.

Are you using any kind Portable Amplifier with your IE80?
Loving my Rock-It R50's, but it really depends what kind of music you listen to.
check out http://www.head-fi.org
Currently, Shure SE315 's. Next week I'll have VSonic GR07. However for the high-end IEM's mentioned here. What's your complete setup? Please.
SE315, Paid version of Equalizer

The IE80's, Shure 535's mentioned, please what kind of setup?
I was about to purchase the Westone 4r but the VSonic GR07 are too highly rated at half the price with the FiiO E11, It will be the music I've ever heard. But these new small portable Amplifier give us the power needed.

If you really are a good ol' time audiophile in which sound quality comes first, go for sennheiser, bose, marshall.. (not in order)

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.

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.

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

That is your opinion, I've compared beats to skull candy side by side and personally for the price and the customer support I get from skullcandy I would take them over beats any day. Now to your comment on them buying knock off headphones and putting their logo on it, do you have any proof of this? If you have only used there 20$ head phones yes, they are cheap, built cheap, and not meant to last 10 years. I personally got the SkullCandy Titans and adore them. The speakers can handle any type of music I push through them and, being that the buds are made of metal they last a very long time. The best part is, if anything happens to them, like one side stops working, skullcandy will replace your headset for free. It is a very easy process to get them replaced too.

Sure...I'm using the beats audio which I got threw pimp my Rom-acid audio would also work and the amp I'm using is only a fiio f5 which is just enough to give the volume a boost and clean the sound up.

Also make sure the headphones are not copys,
Because there is a world of difference between real and fake.

That is your opinion, I've compared beats to skull candy side by side and personally for the price and the customer support I get from skullcandy I would take them over beats any day. Now to your comment on them buying knock off headphones and putting their logo on it, do you have any proof of this? If you have only used there 20$ head phones yes, they are cheap, built cheap, and not meant to last 10 years. I personally got the SkullCandy Titans and adore them. The speakers can handle any type of music I push through them and, being that the buds are made of metal they last a very long time. The best part is, if anything happens to them, like one side stops working, skullcandy will replace your headset for free. It is a very easy process to get them replaced too.

Dude you compare skullcandy to beats both of which are overpriced and not nearly as good as other brands. I'm sorry but I am an audiophile, have been for years. I have extensive audio systems at home and in my car, so I know what I am talking about.

This is THE forum for sound quality, so if they say they suck then they suck. Sorry man, but it's great that you are pleased by their headphones, keep buying them. Also I have owned a set of Titans, I friend gave them to me last year and they are terrible. One of the headphones has lower volume than the other and compared to even my low end set of Sony's they are trash.
With Beats and Skullcandy you are paying for the name and nothing more. Anyone who knows anything about audio will not buy either of these brands. I personally have studio grado headphones and they trounce anything else I have tried. Sure they might not look as good as the others, but they sound immensely better.
I'm sorry but you shouldn't have to replace your headphones. The only time I have ever had my earbuds break is when I tear the cord, the brands I buy have never had one of them go out. That is a sign of shoddy construction.

Shures are great for sound quality but not for bass, so if that is what you are looking for then you might want to try Sennheiser or Ultimate Ears (though they are owned by Logitech now and may not be built as well) or Sony. FIIO amps are good, but be careful where you buy it from because there are crummy knockoffs out there being sold as the real deal.
Klipsch is good too, just check out the Head-fi forums and look for what you want in the sound. Many headphones sound good, but don't have enough bass for people's taste.
