What do you think, are they good? I ordered a pair in purpose to use them with my Sony Ericsson MW600 Bluetooth stereo headset. Do you have these and can give me honest opinion?
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Brand-New-U...ccessories&hash=item3cbf58355c#ht_3744wt_1146
come on dude these are triple fi 10
after shures they are the most vfm in-ear phones
i used it for few days and sound is just just awesooommmmmeeee
but sold it in a day coz they are hugeeeee
i have small ears and these will pop out like a stick...
if it fits u then order a comply foam tip set as the set provided will get damaged soon
these are bass tight triple armature and have a solid and punchy bass, bass is the best thing about these but it also doesnt drown the midrange and treble
some guys say it has the best treble but i really liked its bass, its ample and everything else sounds sooo clear.
anyways now using the klipsch s4i and its also good except for some minor issues.
DO NOT USE TF10 WITH MW600, IT WUD BE A INSULT TO THEM.
MW 600 IS GOOD BUT THESE DESERVE A BETTER SOURCE(BTW AM A MW600 USER)
Look at this review, the idea to use fi 10 with mw600 came from here. The guy said that there is no difference in sound quality if the fi10 connected directly or through mw 600.
http://www.knowyourcell.com/sony-er...eviews/394574/sony_ericsson_mw600_review.html
When I'll receive the set I will try them with and without the Bluetooth headset and then decide, the mw600 is very comfortable in use so it seems like a good idea to use the fi10 with mw600.
I've been using Triple Fi 10's for several years now, with multiple devices. They're the best I've ever used, and the most durable. With other headphones, I've had issues with the earpiece tubes (the bits the foam/silicone cushions slide onto) becoming brittle & disintegrating after very little use.
Unfortunately, it seems that the Triple Fi's are no longer being made, so they'll become increasingly hard to find.
They're either still being made or they have a huge stockpile. Amazon has had them on sale between $95-100 for the past three years during Thanksgiving.
I've been using my TF10vi for quite a while. I got cable with built-in mic and it has work fantastically with the SGS2. The TF10 is very good for its price.
As the poster above mentioned, fitting of the TF10 can be a bit tricky. I used the "flip mod" and it is staying in my ear much better.
Down side with using a nice IEM with the SGS2....you can totally tell the poor audio quality of the Yamaha codec. But since you are using the MW600 then you'll have a different experience.
I've had them for a while and they're great. Nothing else beats these especially for their sale price.
So I love the Z3 Music a lot. Some headphones are just too weak, or not loud enough. This Z3 with the capability of playing High-res music is outstanding. Together with walkman app. It is truly a high-res music playing device.
My advise: Look for some headphones with higher DB or sensitivity 103+ db, and lower impedance < 16 ohm (ohm) I have been collecting headphones for a while now. Different tastes, genres, style. The two that I like the most here are
JVC HA-FX40. This can be purchased online from reputable retailer. I like Adorama. This is a bassy headphones with clear mid, and clear high. It does need some extended burn in hours. Recommended 100 hours
ATH-IM70. This too can be purchased online from reputable retailer. This is also a bassy headphones with great details and extensions + imagine. This can beat many headphones in the 2-3 x price range. The best thing = it sounds very natural, and organic.
Both of those above headphones can provide quiet an ear piercing volume with your Xperia Z3 and an Amp is not needed. Especially the ATH-IM70. The ATH-IM50 is also good, and much cheaper, but is with ways more bass.
A bonus about the IM70/50 = removable cables. You can buy cables with inline mic for calls and control from lunashops.
If any of you have any better headphones, please recommend them here. :good:
The next thing you would want = to find your high-res FLAC music files. Good luck guys
Sennheiser momentum on ears!
Heir audio 3.ai - best in ears I've ever had and look great!
I'm using the Sony MDR-NC31EM (was bundled with my phone) and I like them. The noise canceling feature is excellent!

I use the shure se215 an like them. They are better than my previous bose I2E : better sound (much my taste), better noise canceling, and better cable quality.

Yours came with these? Arg, jealous! I plan on buying these.
New z3c owner and really pleased with the sound quality. I'm using Soundmagic E30's which give a really clean, crisp reproduction. Not the strongest bass but that's obviously a matter of preference. I'm sure there's better headphones out there for home listening but I run a lot so need something which can cope with the elements, as well as weight too much or not fall out.
Specs:
Driverynamics 9mm Neodymium Driver
Frequency range:15Hz~22KHz
DC Resistance:12±10%Ohms
Sensitivity:94±2dB at 1KHz/mW
Also sounding great on the X-Mini II portable speaker. Have not been this happy with a purchase in a long while!
Huge soundmagic fan. The ES18 and E10 are both great. ES18 are a steal at their price. I love my E10M but doubt the remote will be fully compatible with the Z3c, so I'll probably have to give the Xiaomi Piston 2.1's a try.

For me the best headphones:
Monitor ATH-M50X http://eu.audio-technica.com/en/products/product.asp?catID=5&subID=39&prodID=4596
Portable ATH-CKR10 http://eu.audio-technica.com/en/products/product.asp?catID=5&subID=38&prodID=4668
Actually the ATH-50MX signature is almost the same as ATH-IM70. Also, if I don't mistaken the 50M is 38 ohm, while the IM70 is only 10 ohm. You can drive the IM70 on the Z3 without the need of an amp. I, and other headfi-ers since had refer to IM70 as the portable version of 50M.
CKR-10, I have never tried, but very interested in it review. Let me know if you have had that chance
Not trying to drop a bomb in here or something.
I use the ATH-M50 and the BRAINWAVZ M1 IEM, but in my opinion no matter what ear/headphones you use they will never sound REALLY good without Viper4Android.
For now that's the only thing that I'm missing on my non rooted phone.
I must say that the sound comes close when I use the ATH-M50 with the Fiio E11k headphone amp, but it still feels as if something is missing.
So once we can root our phone without losing our DRM stuff I'd suggest everyone to look into Viper4Android
If you think Clear audio makes the phone sound nice, you'll be blown away by Viper4Android :good:
I've not found the volume is too low at all. I primarily use Westone 3 earphones and the volume is usually at about 50%. However, I'm spoiled by normally using them with a Meridian DAC so the Z3c sounds a bit flat by comparison even with the Westones' sparkly high-end and punchy bass. I might try getting a OTG cable and see if I can get my Meridian Explorer DAC to work with the Z3c.
I dropped $50 for the Sony noise-canceling headphones that work with the Xperia Z series. They're fantastic. By far the best in-ear headphones I've ever used. Comfortable and the noise canceling really does work.

I've been curious about these. They are the NC31's (or whatever they're called) right?
Two questions:
1) when u put them in, and noise canceling is on with no music or anything, what does it sound like? Is everything muffled or just really quite but u can still understand people or what?
2) what's the bass like? I listen to a lot of electronic music, good bass is essential. Not just deep, but clear and without distortion.
Thanks

Let me get back to you on both of those, as they're not things I pay close attention to (bass is really only important to me when listening to John Deacon's Queen songs).

1. If you choose the right size of the earbuds, everything is extremely quiet even if you do not actually connect the headphones. Connecting them and turning on the noise cancelling feature just makes it more silent, as it muffles and cancels out the remaining sounds. A person standing next to you and talking to you (not screaming, of course) can't be understood, unless you read his lips.
2. Never had any distortion with all kinds of music, even with high (too high) volume. Of course, we're talking about lossless tracks. I can't vouch for MP3s.
Cheapo is best
I think that reading everyone's comments about different phones my view is it is all down to the great Z3 sound system and that even some of the cheapest pair of in ear phones can give a brilliant and clear sound.
Myself i don't like to much heavy base.
If you go into the settings on your z3 make sure you have ticked to use the Clear Audio+ and Dynamic normalizer also tick Hi-res audio via USB and under headphones general you can pick up to 6 Sony Types to choose.
I personally use a cheap pair over the ear type and they have a great sound. They are not a closed type as i like to hear whats going on around me when outside. I always listen Pink Floyd,Joe Satriani,Steve Vai,Tangerine Dream etc,etc

i am using sony mh1 it's cheap and great
Several reviews that I've read online for the Sony MDR-NC31EM noise cancelling headset have pointed out poor in-call performance (bad mic, bad mic position, and no call button). Can you guys with this headset speak about the call functionality please? My z3c shows up tomorrow, and I'm guessing that I'll be in the market for a headset to go along with it. Cheers.
Edit: Also, how is the OEM headset that comes with the phone (D5803)?
Does anybody have some experience with AKG Y50? What do you think about those headphones?
Which one should I buy for Oneplus 2

2.Sony ex250ap

I believe in specs though.
Xiaomi has a frequency range of 20-20k, where as the sony ones have 5-25k.
I prefer an all round sound signature than bass heavy ones like xiaomi piston 3.
I heard the xiaomi p3 have good knowles mic, is it good??
Yes mic is good

You are right, 'cannot hear above 20k but below 20 i.e. 5-20hz there is an ambiance in those lows, though you cannot hear below 20hz there is kind of a bass reflex effect when the earphone gives sounds of 5-20hz. Thats what i want , ambient lows with good mic !!
Over the years i have learned that pounding bass only gives you headache and you wont be able to listen the song though it is your favorite .
I have used the Sony MDR-EX110LP/B for like 2 years now. And I'm very happy with it.
I'm looking for something that has similar sound signature as Sony MDR-EX110LP/B with bigger diver units, min 11mm, 5-25k hz freq respn. and a good mic.
So is xiaomi piston 3 better than sony ex250ap ?? OR
Do you have any better suggestions upon my above observation ??
Thanks in advance.

Sorry man but i dont know. Good luck.
always buy SONY's product. they are awesome!
Hi, I was reading what you guys said and I don't think specs will be good enough to tell whether a pair of earphones are good or not. I have experience with this because I have listened to a lot of headphones and earphones. Most of the time people go for thumping bass, monster, beats esque branded products. These earphones/headphones do not provide good sound quality. Instead they deliver only bass. Lots of it.
Whether a person likes a headphone/earphone is completely subjective. It depends on his/her taste in music i.e. what kind of music he/she listens to and the sound signature he/she prefers.
If you like pop or hip-hop or electronic music then you should go for what is known as a v-shaped headphone/earphone. V-shaped headphones/earphones have a boosted bass and a higher treble, which is good for these genres.
If you like vocal music then you should go for what is known as a mid-centric headphone/earphone. These type of headphones/earphones have boosted mids which give focus to the vocals in the tracks that you listen to.
If you like rock and other genres involving lots of guitars, I'd recommend you to get a pair of bright headphones/earphones. These will put focus on the instruments, especially the guitars and the vocals for a better rock music experience.
Assuming that you are preferring a v-shaped earphone/headphone then these are my suggestions:
1.Philips SHE-3590
2.SoundMagic ES-18
3.JVC HA-FR301
4.VSonic VSD3
Also I'd recommend Xiaomi Pistons, but there are a lot of fakes of this one running around and most of them look very similar to the genuine ones, so it's difficult to spot the fakes.

Couldn't agree more. Buy your earphones based on what music you love. No two pare of earphones are the same even if the specs are listed at the same there all diffrent and with a sound personal to the earphones your looking at.
If your into good sounding stuff its well worth spending money on a good set brings your most liked songs to life!
Im a bit of a bass lover really and for IEM's i use a pare of Sennheiser ie80s which i love.
For over head i use a Cayin C5 AMP and a pare of J.V.C HA-SZ2000's but i love bass so they do the job for me.

Ahh yeah i've had a pare of them myself in the past there not bad at all for entry level earphones there weighed towards bass more then anything and yeah very V-shaped.
I find that after a while i always want more spent too much on earphones/headphones and amps but to me its worth it.
If you like bass and have the spare cash some SZ2K's are just amazing with a amp of course costs the best part of £300 quid for the set up though but the bass is simply mind blowing these cans shake your whole head!

Nice setup man! drooling..........
Hello guys. Having used LG V20 and Soundmagic E10C, i always admired the audio quality. I purchased LG G7 recently and used it with E10C earphones thinking that stock earphones are crap. However out of curiosity i hooked up the stock earphones and voila these are even better than Soundmagic E10C. Crystal clear highs, better balance, more spacious and resolving earphones.
I wonder are there any better earphones that can be paired with this mobile to get the best out of it? around 100$ range or little higher. Ordered Massdrop Sennheiser HD6xx but for portability, love to listen to in-ear earphones.
Please suggest. Also love to see audiophile review of these stock earbuds.
Charan
The stock in ears are small, comfortable and are great quality, for something bundled. But it's only meant as a backup hands-free pair, really.
They served well while I waited two weeks to get the TRN V80 from china. I don't care for a neutral monitor style character and these IEMs tick all the boxes for me, clear treble, defined bass, textured mids. At 30$ these chinese IEMs make everything else look overpriced. There are neutral chi-fi IEMs for the audiophile and musician crowd as well.
And the G7 drives them as well as anything short of a tube amp. Very happy with the combo.

Added to wishlist
You can go for soundmagic e80c if you want to feel the DAC inbuilt... It is great combination. However, no bass like sony
Stocks are about the same quality as those from the G4 or even a bit lower. Decent and since I rarely used earphones on the G4 I was OK with them.
However, because of the DAC in the G7 I decided to buy a pair of better ones. For now, on my shortlist I have Fiio FH01, F9 and F9Pro. Mostly because of accessibility in Romania, don't feel like ordering from Amazon because of potential warranty issue so I'd buy from a good local store. I briefly considered Sennheiser Momentum but I think I'll get one of those Fiio, probably FH01.
I have KZ ZS5 and TinAudio T2. Both are very good earphones for the price. T2 are neutral, ZS5 are little V signature. But not much.
Sent from my LM-G710
Buy Superlux HD681/668B if you want big ones (not neutral, highs are somewhat detailed, but the whole treble is somewhat overboosted, mids are V-shaped but very detailed and the bass is detailed depending on what song you listen to), if you want earbuds buy Tin Audio T2 or KZ AS10 or ZS10 (ZS10 contacts died in a week, idk what happened)... Biggest impedance headphone here is 668B, 56Ω, and they will use high-impedance mode...

I think it is more like 668B... But I am not sure... 668B has less bass, but cleaner highs, 681 has more extended bass, but unclear (not sibilant highs) and more detailed, 681 Evo has more bass and has typical Superlux 681 signature other than that... And it is closed, so it may give you better isolation...

Great choice...
You could also check out Tin Audio T2, RevoNext QT2, KZ ZS10, AS10 and SoundMagic E10... Most neutral are T2's, but they lack subbass and have extremely neutral sound, which is a bit boring... KZ are extremely fun, but a bit bright pair of earbuds... QT2 are Harman-based earbuds with a bit of a bass boost and highs boost...

Lol... You should buy AKG K702 if you're in EU, it is like 110€ on German Amazon... You'll get almost flat sound, if not a bit bright, with great sense of realism and huge soundstage... Almost natural in every sense... Not as natural as Senn HD800, Audeze LCD2, or Stax SR009, but no headphones sound like those headphones... And they are over 1000$, which is an overkill... K702 are great midrange audiophile headphones...

Almost natural in every sense... Not as natural as Senn HD800, Audeze LCD2, or Stax SR009, but no headphones sound like those headphones... And they are over 1000$, which is an overkill... K702 are great midrange audiophile headphones...

I'm from Vizag, India. Getting hands on audiophile grade headphones/earphones here in my state is like really hard unless i travel 700 miles to Mumbai. and AKG K702 costs 16000 INR thats around 200$ anyway my dear friend is bringing Massdrop Sennheiser HD6xx from USA. I hope they sound really good.

Oh, great then... HD600 are even better than K702... Lol... I am Croatian and with wages like 500$ up to 900$ it is pretty hard for me to buy 100$ headphones or more... Especially not LCD4 or SR007... And I need one better, audiophile pair of headphones... I just want Audeze LCD2C... ???

Such a beautiful place . Pretty much same here with the pay scale. Hope you will get those headphones you want soon .
Got TRN V80 and wow, these sound great. Except treble is piercing. So ordered BQEYZ KB100!
Yinyoo V2, TinAudio T2 and RevoNext QT2 are maybe best budget earphones. I have T2 and ZS5 like I said, but wandering to order QT2 for collection

Great recommendations. As I am new in this world of budget audiophiles I was wondering if all earphones have to be in-ear to be good. Because some earphones are not comfortable for me if they enter too much inside my ear. Instead shape like AirPods are less intrusive.
Are there good budget earphones which are not in-ear or it is a mandatory characteristic to make good sound?

If you don't like In-Ears earphones, you just have to look for Earbuds & Semi-In-Ears like QianYun Qian69, VE Monk, MEMT T5, MoonDrop Nameless. Best sound quality is first two. Look for review for models and choose, but maybe Qian69 is best choise from theese.
Hi everyone,
With all the great reviews for Chi-fi earbuds, I just got a couple of pairs from KZ to try out my shiny new DAC. Feel free to read about them elsewhere, I just wanted to let you know that the KZ ZS10 Pro really, really, really shines with this phone. Unlike some of KZ's other 5 driver iems, it starts with a flatter curve, and responds significantly to any eq adjustment. Monster bass or smooth, light vocals are equally obtainable with this amazing amp and just a little eq. It's absolutely the best 45 dollar accessory for this little audio powerhouse.

Although I switched to my Comply foam tips, The silicone tips are actually pretty good, providing a bass satisfying seal.
The ZS10 Pro is a little heavy for bouncing around. For more outdoor/active use, I threw down 13 bux on KZ's ATE single driver iems. These are also awesome, perfectly suited for moving around. The profile is more bass heavy and lower highs, but they're still very detailed and equally pleasant with edm, rock, or classical. Although they make a "sport" version with memory wire on the ears, I found this pair to stay put at all times. The included foam tips were too small for my big ear canals, so I went Comply again, but average ears should be ok. I thought the AKG buds with my S8 were decent, until I bought these 13 dollar KZ's.

Bonus: the tips from those Samsung/AKG buds will fit. I didn't need to buy new Complys.
