We all are aware how crappy our speakers are, probably the only thing that could be better on the MyTouch 4g.
So I thought I'd share this to people that share the same thoughts as I do. I've used this for awhile now, and am very happy with it.
X-Mini II Capsule Speaker
Best portable speaker you'll ever get for less than $25
Enjoy and hit the thanks button if you agree
That looks cool. I got something similar to that at office depot
http://www.officedepot.com/catalog/...PLAwFiSQtfDY_IFW:13ddpq53l?fkey=&Ntt=tweakers
i use it for my phone/netbook. Best $20 ever spent
was looking for something like this.
The X-Mini is awesome! I misplaced the one I had but I will def be getting another one soon. I got my gf the version with 2 speakers and she loves em.
hmm Ill look into this
thanks
I have the iHome ihm60 it's pretty good also
I have one of these and absolutely love it. Great sound, even has decent bass. Even when it gets very loud and it still sounds clear.

Hello xda!
I'm getting a galaxy nexus next week and heard it has one of the best "soundcards" in it, and wanted to get an "higher end" earbuds than the ones that comes with it. I have beyerdynamic dt770 pro 32ohm already for home use, but im looking for earbuds that I can use on the bus/plane and when training/running. My friend has iBeats on his htc sensation and he is pleased, but sometimes he calls random people because its only meant for iphone I think? So this is what I want
- Good quality (durable)
- Good sound (Listen mostly to hiphop, dnb, metal)
- Good bass
- Volume control (dont REALLY need this)
- Compatible with android
- Price not above 200 usd
edit: Also they have to be noise cancelling. Does anyone know if the volume control thing support spotify? Thats the only music program I use and it would be really great to change song, pause and volume +/-
I'm currently using the Zagg Smartbuds. They sound great and are very durable. Its also designed to sit around your neck which I find works great for running and workouts.
It has a built in slider volume adjust which works with any phone and a single button/mic for answering calls and music control. I haven't tried spotify yet but when I use poweramp I can pause/change/play all my songs with the one button.
They are noise isolating earbuds and come with various bud sizes. They are about 50$.

Thanks, but dont seem to find Zagg here in Norway Ive heard good things about Klipsch image s4, they cost about half of the ibeats here in norway.
I'm using the Klipsch s4a model (designed for Android) and I love them. I've also swapped out the tips with Comply T-100 foam tips. They're much more comfortable, better noise cancelling and bass.
+1 for Klipsch S4's, been using them on my galaxy nexus and love the sound.
If you're looking for something instead of beats you should try ultimate ears triplefi out. I got them not to long ago and they've been working great so far.
http://www.amazon.com/Ultimate-Ears-TripleFi-Isolating-Earphones/dp/B0019RBJOE/
I use a jays one there nice but lately I have been switching to the stock headphones for the in line mic. But I think ima look into the s4a
If you want something cheap, but yet has damn good sound then I recommend the ZAGG Smartbuds. ZAGG always has 50% off coupons through their Twitter so I got it for 25 bucks. If you want something a little better and a little more expensive, then the Klipch (I think I spelled that wrong =/) is your best bet. I believe they're under 100. Good luck!
i have the Pure Pur-1000 and i've gone through many earbuds and these are the best sounding kind.
make sure you break them in correctly though-- i left mine playing on a playlist overnight-- takes around 20-30hrs though for a full break in.
I have used the Kilpsch Image s4's as well as others in here and agree they do sound great. The problem I ran into with them was getting them to fit comfortably. They are IEM's meaning the go into the ear canal. I have Sony MDR XB40EX model ear buds. They are great if you really like bass, and the overall sound quality is pretty good.
you wouldnt think this company would make great earbuds but you have to check them out best sound for the price $50. ifrogz timbre pro

I would rather go something cheap.

I've been using the Yamaha EPH-100. I would say its one of the best under $200. Do dig into head-fi and check reviews
These won't win any awards for looks, but they sound DAMN good for the price. Give all those higher end buds a run for their money.
Monoprice 8320
No noise cancellation, but they do isolation pretty good.
If you really like bass, but want clarity and natural sound and don't mind paying a little bit more I would totally recommend the Hippo VB (Variable Bass). They have the deepest bass of the bunch, or at least appear that way because they lack a distracting midbass hump. Their bass is also quite controlled and rich in texture, more like a good full-sized phone, and clearly performing way above its price range. You can read some reviews of people who had them (and know what they are talking about) here and get them from ebay.
Have a good one
It depends on what sort of sound you're looking for. I, for instance, appreciate the lush midrange (vocals, many instruments) of my Thinksound Rain headphones. They're durable, too. I accidentally put them through the washer and they came out just fine.
Thinksound's TS-02 would be a good model for a cell phone. I'd buy them myself if I wasn't already happy with my Rockboxed Sansa Fuze.
The guy who owns Thinksound, Aaron, is amazing. I sent him an email complaining that none of the included eartips were a good fit for my ears, and he contacted the factories in China to see if any others could be special ordered for me. The answer was no, but it's the thought that counts.
I don't know about the Klipsch. But I had the Zagg ones and decided to use my stock ones from my old xv6700 instead, just wasn't a fan.
I use skull candy 50/50. Great sound and bass. Just wish the in line mic would work.

I've been using Meelectronics as of the last year or two. They have lots of great low priced ones (my current pair is $10 and are on par with $40 pairs I've owned). They also have some higher priced ones in the $50-$80 mark, and from looking at the reviews, they're worth that much as well.
The company is all over Amazon. Check out a few pairs of their headphones and some of the reviews, and if you go with them, enjoy!

I have Sennheiser IE-8 and they are really good earbuds. Before you ask what is the best, you should give us some info on what's your budget, and music.
Will you be able to spend $400+? Are you looking for custom made IEM and can spend $900+? What interests you the most, bass, mid, or high?
Are you an audiophile at head-fi? Maybe I know you.
Hello, yesterday i have bought galaxy s3 and I'm looking for better in-ear headphones. Any suggestions? what do you think about these ones? http://www.bose.com/controller?url=.../audio_headphones/in_ear_headphones/index.jsp
price could be till 180~ dollars
I have them and they are the best headphones I've ever had. They are so comfortable and stick it in your ear so well. The sound quality is very good as well. I will put it this way, when mine decide to go out on me I will buy another pair!

thank you for your answer, i like their design and heard that quality is really good.
I wasnt sure about them because i have always had a real in ear headphone. My brother got them for xmas and i snuffed at them. I tried them on and gave them a listen. I went out an hour later on xmas and bought them.

btw after listening with them for a long time, you dont feel any pains in your ears?
p.s. atm cant give "thanks" 8 limit suxs
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.

Shure makes headphones with replaceable cords. Mine take a beating since I wear them at least twice a day on my motorcycle under my helmet and they are still performing great.

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.

huh??
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.
Cheers
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.
Or you could just buy a pair of Audiotechnica's and get the best sound quality for the price...

I think he's referring to the ATH-M50 model. They're definitely a nice pair and if you read around, a lot of people recommend them. The prices vary across the Internet so it's good to look around. I got a new pair last year for $125

Zagg had a sweet deal. Buy over $20 and get the smartbuds for only $10. The buds alone are normally $50! Its great deal if you need a screen protector or another accessory and headphones.
Its worth checking out. I got mine in yesterday. They sounds pretty good.

thanks OP, bought a pair a few days ago... delivered today and the sound quality and build quality for the price blows me away!
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
