the reason i ask is i'm not sure which ones to get! first i want to know if i get the 80 ohm version do i need an amp to power them. or would be logical just to get the 32 ohm. i'm pretty sure i'm going to hear this(you should get atm50's) but i'm looking at the beyer's for awhile now. i would appreciate the anyone's input!
I use beyer custom one pro - not exactly the same but they're beyers, and they sound fantastic!

i thought about them for a choice also. do they get loud when you turn them up or do you need an amp? some people say they use an amp with your pro's but i guess that is what they prefer. either the dt770's or custom one pro's in white, don't know yet. i would like to hear them at a store before purchasing them you know
mine are white. so far I havent had to use an amp (there's a dedicated amp inside the HTC One already) but I dont have an amp anyway. I just liked the look of the one's and I'm not REALLY an audiophile even though I do appreciate good sound.
But check razordogaudio on ebay - I got mine from them. Authorized reseller, and they had buy it now / best offer and I got em brand new for $210

Do those fit over ear or on ear?

over ear. if they are in any way on-ear, you have big ears
80 ohms is not a big deal for the One, but its not ideal for other phones. You should be fine unless you are deaf.

I'm still kicking myself in the arse fror selling my beas headphones that came with the Rezound, as a guy who NEVER listens to music, only trips and stuff, It's nice to have a decent pair, but not worth the price for someone like me who doesn't use them often.
Dr. Dre makes enough money, the quality we are getting on these headphones just drop and drop, the rezound was priced normal with the headphones, maybe they took a big loss of that, idk?
but I feel we should at least get an older ear style beats headphones, even the same ones that same with the Rezound I'd be very happy.
Beats is a main selling point on HTC device, I mean sh*t they have it branded on the back of the phone perm.
least they can do is hook us up with some quality beats headphones, ill even take refurbished ones, I don't care, but the ones it came with yes, they work, but considering this phone is 6 months old, AND now just getting it, they could have done something to help us out, price drop, anything, but no,
we are paying the same price that was paid half a year ago.

I still have mine. I would sell them if anyone wants them, if you want to buy them. Only reason I would sell them is for putting money towards my new pair. I love listening to music, main reason I bought the rezound. I have the normal ibeats also, but the right side has some play to get full sound when you hear it pop. Hey let me know if you are interested, I have a paypal account. Not going to sell them outrageous either. Tell me a decent price.

I don't know what is high price to you and high price to me
I can buy the headphones just as they came in the Rezound for under $40 brand new, new everything, pouch, headphones, all the ear buds etc.
So being that they are a bit old and used, and I don't know how many if if of the rubber ear piecees are left/used, I don't want the used ones.
I would pay $10-$15.
Again no disrespect if too low a price, but that's what I feel comfortable at.

yeah, My wife "stole" mine and keeps dropping them. Now she's complaining that they are cutting out. Can't figure out why...
Personally, I mainly use some LG BT headphones that verizon screwed up and listed for free last year.
You can't go wrong with either. I would go with the 80ohm just because you should future proof your purchase as much as you can.
And ultimately you'll still want to get an amp, however make sure you get at DAC/AMP combo or have a small usb powered DAC. The reasoning is if you don't have an external DAC all your amp is doing as amplifying an already amplified sound because the phone is already doing all of that. And as good as they sound regularly, once you go amped it'll never be the same

Go bluetooth. I'll gladly recommend my Sony MW600. It's just a little receiver that you can plug your own headphones into. It has a mic, FM radio, and can pair up to three devices. I pretty much use it for anything, including listening to music on my computer. The sound is very good (almost indistinguishable from the 3.5mm jack), and it has volume and track controls which work with pretty much any player.
It's also super light and can go 8 hours of audio, prob a little less for voice comms; standby time is in days. In terms of power draw on the phone, I've noticed that leaving BT on drains about 2% total... which probably saves me power since I don't have to turn on the screen as much.
I got mine for about $50 on Amazon. It comes with its own earphones, but I opted to get a nicer pair (Audio Technica, ckm50a) with short cables. Total cost was under $90.
If you must go the wired route, I would suggest the Ultimate Ears Superfi 5vi. You can go more expensive, but this is probably the cheapest wired headset approaching audiophile quality.
you can get skullcandy headphones with the mic at T-Mobile.
I would say try the Skull Candy 50/50's. I have heard good things about them and thats what ill be purchasing soon. U can get them from radioshack or the direct website for more color choices.

Thanks very much.
I also picked up an AUF3SBEBXAR and an AARM0U3BBE WEP870 mentioned earlier. We'll see for they go when they arrive.
Sorry, can't post links, you'll have to Google the product codes.
I was using the headphones (which imo, are the best I've ever used), and suddenly one of them cuts off, and jerks back, and now all the sound is gone.
Does anyone know how to fix this? Or do I buy another pair and which?
Probably a cut connection somewhere. A solder/tape job'd fix it if you can find the problem area. won't be pretty.
I've had this same problem with countless pairs of headphones...it's pretty much a loose wire somewhere right before the male end of the plug...if you're determined enough, you can strip the insulation off, solder the wires back together, and be on your merry way, or just go buy another pair of headphones.
if you like the ones that came with the phone, check out skullcandy. they are what I buy. They are cheap enough that when they start messing up from excessive use (I'm a student...headphones on all day except while in class) I just go buy a new pair

Why keep spending money of headphones that will just break after a couple months to a year? Just get a decent pair (PortaPros come to mind) and keep truckin. Lurk on Head-Fi.org for a couple days/weeks. You'll discover you don't have to pay an arm and a leg for decent sound quality. You could pay more for better, but I think I'd have a hard time convincing someone to buy a $250 pair of headphones for portable use.
I've had my PortaPros for almost three years before they gave me any problems. Then I paid ~$8 to get them replaced under warranty. Believe me, I beat the hell out of those things. Cable wrapped around the set, tossed around in a booksack for days, in a car for days, etc. And still they keep the tunes coming.
In all fairness, they are a bit "dark" so if that's not your bag, then carry on. But 90% of the people that have heard mine thought they were great.
If you decide to go Skullcandy anyway, don't waste your money and just get the Ink'd. Every other pair of Skullcandies in ears I've heard were obviously more expensive, and were actually WORSE!

What I need are good headphones that have the built in mic. Essentially I need a good hands-free setup.
NuForce NE7M or Klipsch S2m.
I know the S2m has an online mic and I think the ne7ms do as well.
I have yet to hear either but think you'd be happy with either though I think the Klipsch is a safer bet.
I don't use the phone part of my phone often enough to warrant getting a headset. :-D
All that said, I still suggest you go out and do.your own rezdearc. Music is something we all want to listen to differently. Characteristics I find appalling you may desire and vice versa.
For example I know that my 'pros are dark, but I absolutely love what they are.

All IEM/earbuds are inherently going to be more fragile. There are certainly more sturdy ones out there but they are of course more expensive. The ones packaged with any phone or MP3 player are super cheap (hence why they break so easily and their sound quality generally isn't that good).
A solid set of actual headphones can last much longer, however that's pretty bulky to always be carrying around for many people.
Anyway, it's impossible to make a recommendation without knowing your price range. We can throw out all kinds of brands and models all day that will be completely infeasible.
Head-Fi is a great resource as others above have mentioned but they tend to be for people looking far more for sound quality rather than price/durability.
I'm using shure isolation ones. E2 I think. Comfy. Treble is perfect. I think I want beat studios though cause,you know, they just sound AMMAZING.

Well,if you can go another five bucks,I HIGHLY recommend these stereo bluetooth headphones from,of all companies,jWIN.Thats right,I said jWIN These have gotten excellent reviews at Amazon and elsewhere,praising them for their great sound quality and great battery life.I myself have gotten over 10 hours between two hour charges(charged by plugging into my computer).They even fold down nice and compact when you arent using them,nice.The link is for Amazon(with free shipping),but I have seen them on Buy.com for around $24.00 with free shipping as well.Shop around you might even do better. I think they are worth twice and then some what they are asking for them,for the money you really cant go wrong!Hope this helped
I just realized I cant post a link yet The product you can search for on Amazon is called:"Stereo Bluetooth Backphones",the cheaper of the two that pop up are the ones I'm talking about.
Thanks I'll take a look.

That's weird, one side of my stock set went out too recently (the side with the mic). It puts out aroud 5% volume, barely audible, while the other side is fine. I was thinking about calling T-Mo and complaining to get a new set. I've had mine since July and haven't used them much.
I use these http://www.amazon.com/Skullcandy-S2INBI-FZ-Inline-Microphone-Black/dp/B002SW3MP8/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1295634861&sr=8-2 and I love them. The bass is deep and tight, and they are ultra comfortable, and the weight of mic does NOT cause the earphone to come outta your ear like some with other heavier mics... people say voice quality is great!
I've never used my original set, pm me if you're interested.
Don't know if they have a Fred Meyers in your neck of the woods. But I bought a pair of Skull Candy headphones w/mic for $19.00. They work decently.

I use a pair of Panasonic RP-HSC200K as my dedicated gym buds. They're the kind that wrap around your ear so they don't fall out and can resist my gross sweat. They're flexible and can take the abuse of throwing them into my gym bag with my shoes and gear (so far). I like that style because buds like the stock one and iPod ones I have kept popping out my ear when I jog/use the elliptical and get sweaty. They cost $60 and the sound is decent in my opinion. I wasn't looking for audiophile quality considering that I knew they would be abused and soaked in sweat, lol. I didn't want to get something that I would have to worry about.
The mic integration works fine and the button to pause/skip to next song, but the volume controls don't work with my Nexus. They do on iPhone and iPods.

Apparently it's difficult overall to find a pair where both volume up and down work on the in-line controls? Doesn't seem like a lot of models that are iPhone compatible work with Android as well. I dunno. I do have a pair of Skull Candy earbuds as well with mic and volume controls. I'll have to re-test it and see if it works.

I lose earphones all the time, so refuse to buy the nice ones, believe it or not, those Skull Candy with mic are great, and I'm not even talking about their high end models, i bought one on sale at Staples... and honestly? For $15 (sale price), they are pretty damn impressive. Not to mention that you can use them to talk (well...this model you can).

black skullcandy

I just ordered a set of jays one+ they should arrive tomorrow. I'll chime in and let everyone know how they are. I work out 6 days a week, so I'll def put them to the test.

If your willing to spend the $100 I HIGHLY recommend the Jaybird Freedom. They are very good. Sweat/water resistant, comfortable, bluetooth, and sound really great especially for blue tooth.
I've had mine for about 3 weeks now and I now use them more than my cans or Bose wired headset. They have nice all around sound and nice bass and I've honestly never heard blue tooth headset sound so good.
Only two drawbacks I've seen with them are the mic is a little choppy if your talking to someone (Focus on your workout, not talking ), and your going to need to wear an armband if your outside as the signal won't have walls to bounce off and will cut in and out if your phone is in your pocket.
Check them out:

Edit: These things are easily worth the $99 price tag on Amazon. Now that I've used them and broke them in, I'd gladly pay $200 for them.
Nothing sounds better than the Bose IE2's. You'll never regret getting these.

I have these as well and wear my Jaybird freedom's when I workout because as the Bose do sound nice the wire is just a pain in the butt when working out or running. I started off wearing these when working out but that only lasted a week or two before I had to switch up to bluetooth.

I had that same problem with the wire going everywhere, until i picked up a Scosche universal armband...i have the wire running under my arm and into my shirt so it doesn't interfere with my running...and it worked out quite well.

those actually look better than mine...
I've been loving my LG HBS700 Bluetooth headphones while running. Got mine for less than $50 on amazon. They sound great and are very comfortable... really one of the best purchases I've made in the past year. The battery gets me through a day at work listening to podcasts and has plenty left for my workout after.

I appreciate everyone's input.
Unfortunately at the moment I can not spend more than I guess 50 to 60 dollars on a pair. A) cause I need to replace my windshield and B) This will be probably only to listen to music while I work out I rarely ever since myself in situations where I am listening to music while I am out and about unless I am driving I would have it plugged into my stereo.
Those Jaybirds looks so legit I wish I could get them. I think I am going to have to get the skull candy one. God I wish they didn't have the ****ty logo. Looks so high schoolish. Ugh I hate that. I probably look like so punk kid that has no respect for their elders lol.
Unless anyone else has any suggestions for something under 60 or 50. Sound quality would be nice I understand you get what you pay for.

Where can i buy this headphones in US?
http://www.sonymobile.com/us/products/accessories/smart-headset/
Wherever Sony products are sold? But it's cheaper on ebay anyways

thanks, but if it was sold on ebay or amazon i would not create this topic
Is this the same thing?
http://www.amazon.com/Sony-Smart-He...1344687897&sr=8-6&keywords=sony+smart-headset
it was not there a day before yesterday :laugh:
You save money by buying it online, but if you wanna get it now then just see if they have it on stock at your local walmart, best buy, circuit city, etc. If all else fails then check the Sony store, they'll definitely have it

Did you pick this up? If so can we get a review?
Sent from my LT28h using xda app-developers app
love this headset... hate the equalizer on the ion... i think they are better than beats, atleast the in ear beats... my wife has beats but she tries to take my headset but should won't admit they are better than beats lol
i say they are better than beats because one, they are freaking cheaper by ALOT, two, no distortion in both very low and very high frequencies, three, works awesome with the fm radio and that smart key i assigned to trackid and it does work!
this headset has alot of potential but the ion's equalizer is what is holding the headset from being absolutely perfect... sound wise. the other drawback is that the omni directional mic kinda sucks... i say kinda because the mic does let me come in clear on the other end, just hope the other person is in a somewhat quiet room or else they wont hear you, even if your holding the mic right in front of your mouth. another small draw back is that for a smart headset, there are no next/previous track buttons.
the in line mics has never been kind to me so im kinda used to it. i've been using bluetooth headsets with dual mics and music support (motorola) so i never had a problem being heard. but, i want sony's smart bluetooth so these $20+ (depending where you get it) will hold me over til i have enough to spare for those.
hope this helps.
wonder if the EQ will be better after the ATT ICS update - maybe the walkman app will make things perfect
Would love a review or a comparison. I'm hooked on Skullcandy right now. Was disappointed to see no earbuds in the box.

i also was disappointed with no headphones inside)
im picky to sound quality (loudness of headphones is not indicator of quality) and i satisfied with smart headset. i dont have anything to compare with right now, only sennheiser hd465, but that is different level
it has pretty much deep bass line, mids and treble are also good.
my set comes with 8 pairs of black and green (4 each) tips, so its easy to pick the right size,
there is 4 buttons on control, and they feel almost same, sometimes i hit wrong button
cable completely dont get any tangles, but it looks to bulky sometimes
for $70 on amazon i think its a good purchase
but sony could include them in box
i tried some of skullcandys before and i didn`t like those

got mines for $20 on amazon from a US seller. got worried cuz it said replacement on the title but i got the right item with the ear fittings and working buttons. it was supposed to be with $5 shipping but i got the free shipping thing with orders $25 or more which i got the full body protection film with it.
oh ics did tweak the settings for the equalizer and it sounds absolutely perfect. definitely much better than any in ear beats.

All the auctions I looked at came with everything. I could care less if it comes in the oem box. For $50 savings I'd take in a brown paper bag.

That is for sure true. For 10 bucks I wouldn't go that route.
