Okay well let me start off by saying I own a pair of Beats by Dre Pro and Beats by Dre Studio and yes I know there are better quality out there but that's another topic. Now I need a pair of good wireless headphones so I can leave my phone charging while listening to music. I like my other pairs of Beats but for the $300 price tag, I don't think the bass I like from Beats will be the same, hence I'll be paying more than what I'll actually get. Are there any other good pair of wireless headphones out there?
Also I walked in the apple store today and it obviously showed its made for Apple products but would the controls (stop, previous, forward, etc) still work with out GNex?
Also if you give me a suggestion to a pair of wireless headphones, let me know if the wireless controls would work fine. That's a bit of a deal breaker for me. Thanks guys

I have a pair of Sennheiser MM200's and they're pretty sweet. I got them from amazon.ca (which sucks by the way) for $69 on Boxing day. I've been very happy with them. The controls work fine on my GNex.
Just an idea, I was looking for a wireless system to use when skiing I decided to go with a small bluetooth receiver. That let me use any headphones I wanted and was a much cheaper option. I started a thread about it on avs, people suggested some different options: http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?t=1385468
I went with the first result on amazon searching "bluetooth receiver 3.5mm". It has a button on it that can play/pause/skip/restart (not previous track tho)...

Why buy new wireless headphones? Make your current headphones wireless with a BT receiver.
I bought a couple of these for my car and home.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/BLUETOOTH-A2DP-HEADSET-ADAPTER-AUDIO-RECEIVER-DONGLE-/160708041305
Plug your headphones into this, pair it with your phone. Now all your phone audio goes to the headphones via BT and wireless.
I have it plugged into my line in for my car and it's hidden away.
And at home I have it plugged into the AUX input of my clock radio.
Varies from $15-$20 on eBay.

Just bought a jaybird x3 from Amazon I would say it cannot match the b&o play headphone comes with the phone with quad DAC enabled, anyone has better suggestion is that even Bose sport wireless will be about the same? Welcome any suggestion or I should stick with wired one just Bluetooth is so much more convenient, love to hear anyone with BeatX or similar ones
Replaced the standard ear tip with the foam type comes with jaybird x3 sounds significantly better
You need to use wired headphones to take advantage of the dac
I use the Creative Sound Blaster E3 combined with b&o play headphone that came with the phone and to me it sounds just as good or may be better than the phone with wired headphones. If the sound of the E3 is not up to par you can always substitute any 3.5mm headphone out for the B&O.
The Quad DAC will only activate with an audio cable plugged in. So unfortunately Bluetooth will not be able to take advantage of it.
However, the V20 does support AptX, which essentially allows for high quality audio through a BT headset, headphones, speakers, etc. Though I am far from an audiophile, I honestly do hear a definitive difference between an AptX supported headset vs a non AptX set.
Amazon has an extremely large selection of BT 4.1 (which features the ability to display the battery % of your headset on your phone), waterproof, AptX supported headphones. You just have to find the ones that fit your needs.
Good luck.
I use Samsung Gear IconX (truly wireless ones) with V20, very decent sound not much worse than included B&O H3! There's a bunch of them brand new unpacked on Ebay starting from like 80$ or so! Most folks change eartips on IconXs, the large ones from milliion year old Apple In-Ear Headphones with Remote and Mic worked for me famously, balanced sound and punchy bass, perfect for workouts. One very neat feature of IconXs that you can store 4gigs of songs and use as a standalone mp3 player and I personally think SQ is even better than paired with V20! Lastly, you can track steps and heart-rate but that's something I don't use...
I use the Apple AirPods when I need the convenience of Bluetooth. For wireless ear buds they sound really good when you pair them with Apple Music. I don't like the sound with Tidal tho.

Yes v20 actually does support aptx HD but not easy to find a headphone that supports that except from LG and from the reviews it seems doesn't matter so much

Jaybird is at the top when it comes to bluetooth, and you won't find any bluetooth earbuds that sound better than the X3.

Bose QC35 and Bose SoundSport Wireless, Word!
My brother has been through quite a few different ones including the Jaybirds and the best earbud pair imo was Monsters sport ones (ill have to get the model number for ya later as I dont recall). To be honest I thought my $30 Taotronic sport ones I got off Amazon sounded just as good as the Jaybirds did.
I've seen Bose has a new wireless in ear buds with active noise cancelling so those might sound pretty good. Haven't read anything about them yet though
I just posted this on another thread, well worth the price.

In my opinion the absolute best sounding bluetooth headset on the market right now is the Definitive Symphony 1, these things sound awesome for BT, even the bose BT headsets don't compare imo.
Best Bluetooth Earbuds
Have you seen the top 5 best sounding bluetooth earbuds you can buy. It might be the best for your need :laugh:
I have the Vmoda Crossfade Wireless 2 and they sound awesome with the phone. My Bludio UFO I just got today I think sound better at a much lower cost. Either way, the Bluetooth sounds great and the option to plug in for even better sound is there.
Don't mean to rain on the earbud parade but to get the best sound you need something with bigger drivers. I recently bought the Sharkk Claro from Amazon for $44.99 and it has ANC and Apt-X and it sounds pretty good.
I've been really happy with Mixcder over the ear headphones. I have a pair of the MS301 and my wife has the HD601. Both use Apt-x low latency, which seems to really help the audio quality.
I found some crazy earphone

But it won't trigger the quad dac.Because it has 46ohms similar my apple earpod.Only 50+impedance will trigger the quad dac.
Btw Soundmagic e50 has 50-51ohms.
You try it and later decide. Another one that people say good things is Fiio

I guess not.Because it has only 32ohm.
You can try a high impedance adapter from ebay 7-8$ with your current headphone.
Just look for the headphone impedance,which has minimum 50ohm.
Note-I am not a sound specialist, i just get some idea after googling.
Soundmagic E50C-51 ohms
Soundmagic E80C-64ohms
For reference Sound magic is an award winning company for providing best bang for buck quality
My Sennheiser Momentum 2 are 18 Ω and they trigger the quad-DAC.
I have problem with choosing Senheiser Momentum in ear G or RHA MA750i. Somebody have some recommendations?

There is a simple way to activate the sabre amplifier.
Get a 3.5mm male to female adapter. Connect to lg g6 . it will activate external adapter connected.
Then plug in your standard <50ohm headphones.
Enjoy.

Well i Have EC10's with 46 Ohm. They only trigger External mode with the included Y-Adapter. The Earphones sound superb on pretty much every Device except the G6. The Quad DAC cancels out the Dynamics and Bass. If you like neutral analytic sound you will be very satisfied. If you want atmospheric, open wide airy Sound, you will be dissapointed a lot. The DAC will go into HiFi mode when using the E50s or E80s. But the Sound signature wont improve, your AMP will just be driven harder which equals in louder sound. Thats basically the whole point of the HiFi mode. If you use Headphones with 250 Ohms it would be extremely quiet in Normal Audio mode, so a better solution is to give this privilege to the higher Ohm headphones and not drive the AMP with full power when something with low resistance is plugged in. This is needed to prevent your headphones from taking damage, improvide battery life (A AMP can draw more power then your CPU). And to guarantee a clear sound playback because lower end Headphones will distort to that point that everything is just buzzing if you drive them with a lot of power.
I will try OneMore E1001 Ref Headphones and see if the sound improves but i doubt that because my USB DAC (70-200$) sounds miles better with the same EC10s that i use with my G6.
All of my earphones trigger the DAC even cheap ones, I have however purchased some Soundmagic E80's and all I can say is WOW, easily the best earphones I have ever used and highly recommended. Purchased refurbished (but appear to be new and unused customer return) on eBay for £35 with three sets of Comply tips thrown in http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/321924939199
I have the Sony mdr-100aap, with IMPEDANCE (OHM)
24 Ω at 1 kHz. Should it trigger the dac? They are supposed to be HiFi compatible. I only see normal headphones when plugged.
If all you are looking at is impedance rating to trigger the amp, you are doing it wrong. Find the headphone that sounds best to you *regardless* of impedance, and let the phone do its job.
My vote is for the Campfire Audio Nova or Dorado.

That website has a popup that I can't get around on my phone, and I refuse to click it. Bull**** site. Search for venture electronics instead.
I did see they're the VE Zen earbuds briefly, I heard they're like the VE Monk with bass. That is a REALLY good thing. I can't justify the $150 though many can and likely should. The Monks are really good.
Guys, if you're looking for clear and precise sound, I strongly recommend you to look at the balanced armature headphones. Instead of 1 dynamic driver which covers the entire frequency range they have 1,2,3... practically up to as many as you wish drivers each for a specific frequency segment. A lot of manufacturers make it, such as Sony, Sure, Audio Technica, RHA, Vsonic, Dunu. I'm pretty happy with my Sony XBA-A2 headphones which has always sounded good with any source and with LG G6 their potential is being even more fully unlocked

How ? Does it show high impedance mode in DAC settings ?
Guys realy ?Many same question.
Ok then last time.
Minimum OHM 50 ..This working minimum(QDAC) (OR trick search v10 or v20 high gain trick(need special cables)
So 18 ,24 ,33 ,16 NOT trigger..50+?Yes!
But the headphone not all...Need music player .HD music supported professional music palyer: Poweramp(need setup) usb audiplayer pro(need setup) or totaly free HibyMusic player(need setup)
And last...Good quality music(recomendent 24bit 96Khz minumum)Then happaning the magic!

Absolutely correct...
Sound quality is subjective... People should stop worrying about the amount of impedance... And look for the headphones they like...

Sony
Bose
Currently i am using mi wireless headphones, sound quality, battery backup, build quality good and don't fall wile running, i purchased for 1400 inr from banggood
By suitable, i think OP refers to audio hissing bug. its already known that low impedance phones will have audio hissing ( i own BT phones from JBL and the hissing is terrible ).
I have a few pairs of Bluetooth headphones, but at the moment I use these ones from Proxelle. Cheap, lightweigth, sweatproof and sound quality is good. Battery lasts 5 hours (more or less).

For comparison, I also have the Plantronics Backbeat Pro, a good competitor in the best bluetooth headphones category.

My 10 cents
I use a philips shb4000 bt headset and i am very happy with it.
Its relatively cheap, has great sound, is lightweight and comfortable.

Strange how no one mentioned KZ, in my opinion KZ is great bang for the buck brand. They are not bluetooth type right from the box, but you can buy bluetooth module and make it wireless. I owned KZ ES4 and KZ ZSR, both of them are great but I recommend you get ZSR, for around $20. (+$8 for bluetooth module) you can't find better earphones.
https://www.gearbest.com/earbud-headphones/pp_1512920.html?wid=1433363
and bluetooth module (can get you around 3-4 hours of play time)
https://www.gearbest.com/earbud-headphones/pp_712247.html?wid=1433363
So in total of just under $30 you will get triple driver bluetooth earphones with awesome sound and build quality
I already have the bullet wireless v1. But i don't no if I should update to the v2 or should i get the skullcandy indy. Qnd suggestions would be appreciated.
For $99, how good can they really be?! SkullCandy is the better choice, if you feel the need to buy new headphones. Just remember though, the device does not come with a USB-C to headphone adapter in the box, in case you are interested in using wired headphones. Personally, I still prefer to use my Sennheiser HD598C's.
I can't stand earphones that completely plug your ears. So... I use airpods with my android phone. Shhh. Don't tell anyone.
Go with bluetooth head phones
If you already have wired earphones, instead of a dongle, I highly recommend this: https://www.fiio.com/btr3

At what price
Can someone confirm that I can get any headphones that are USB-C?
I see headsets on Amazon listed that show specific "compatibility" requirements, so I'm wondering if this would be something I need to worry about.
Or is just any headset with USB-C ok?
Instead of wearing down the USB C port with constant connects and disconnects of a dongle, get a good bluetooth DAC and you are set. I myself use a combination of Fiio FH1 in-ear monitors and Fiio BTR3, planning to upgrade to BTR5 when it launches
Buy a pair of redmi airdots for just 20$ that's very good

If you've already got the V1 Bullets Wireless, don't bother upgrading. I lost my V1s so I bought the V2s, they sound awesome, but it doesn't matter because they keep falling out of my ears. I miss the fins on the V1s because then I didn't have to keep adjusting them and putting them back in my ears.
Are there any bluetooth earphones with low pubg audio latency?
