I own a pair of Shure se530 they are without a doubt the cleanest headphones ive ever heard and the noise canceling works really well. I am very very picky when it comes to sound quality.

they aren't as loud and boomy as some but if you want accurate crisp sound quality and want to hear the song the way the artist intended then they cant be beat.

really the question you should be asking yourself is how much do you want to spend. my Shure headphones were $500

but like i said they sound amazing and ive fallen asleep with em in my ears laying on them they are so comfortable.

definitely an investment though

i agree, skull candy is worth the price i worked in a factory and tried several different headphones n still couldnt hear music playing from my ipod so one day found them on sale and now i will never buy another brand, all that money wasted on different lesser quality head phones. its true what they say you get what you pay for.
[General Accessories] stumpyz9:
Skull candies are cheap and have ok sound but their buld quaility absolutley sucks! i once went through 3 pairs in 1 week cuz one of the earbuds would randomly die, and i never abuse them. just fold em up and stick them in my pockets with my phone. and once i did get a pair that worked, the same problem happened 1 1/2 months later.

if your looking for cheap headphones but dont want to pay much go with specked by phillips. nice build quality, especially with the fiber cord and have some real nice sound quality for $25. and to be honest they sound better than beats!! right now im using a piar of klipsch image s4's and i love them, still getting used to the rubber cord(coming from the pecked) but the quaility is absolutley amazing!! going to go and upgrade the the image s4i's soon for the in line mic and controls

Klipsch S4i
[General Accessories] jRi0T68:
I'm using S4i plus Headset Button Controller ($3, and there is a free 14 day trial version). App allows perfect control over center button on S4i
[General Accessories] stumpyz9:
I already have control over the center button. I want control of the volume buttons.
[General Accessories] jRi0T68:
That can't happen, but headset button controller allows you to configure multiple kinds of clicks to do different things.

I've got mine set for the center button as follows:

1 click - pause

double click - skip

triple click - previous track

Long press - volume up

Click and hold - volume down

It actually is very easy to use after 5 minutes getting used to the controls.
[General Accessories] wasabiboi:
Skullcandy = poor quality, meh sound

Beats = good quality, goodish sound, horrific price

But for running, I like to use a cheap set specifically for exercising because they're more easy on the wallet if they break.

[General Accessories] EpicPie:
Thanks for linking my review. :D

@OP, if you want some quality earphones or headphones avoid brands like Bose, Skullcandy, Beats, and SoL Republic. For under/sub 100 dollars give my list suggestions a try or look into them.

Headphones:

Ultrasone HFI-580 or DJ1 (same headphone, different aesthetics, price constantly fluctuates between the two).

Koss DJ100, this is a very underrated headphone, it uses Grado SR60 drivers giving it a very forward sound. Replacement pads are suggested for these, the stock.pair isn't very comfortable.

Sennheiser HD25, I like these the most for traveling and portable use. They overall are very rugged and I'm not worried about them breaking.

Fostex t50rp, despite it's looks it's easily the best sounding headphone in it's price range, tops a lot of higher tier headphones a well and everything I listed in this thread.

Earphones:

Ultimate Ears UE600, a mellowed out equivalent of the HFI 580.

Ninewave Studio Pro - Earbud equivalent of a Grado headphone.

Dunu EX-150

Monster Turbines

[General Accessories] oliverfigueiredo:
Jays?

Can't believe no one mentioned Jays?

Their value is amazing. Not the best In-Ear headphones at all, but considering their price they're amazing. Most audiophile forums I've checked find them to be better than Beats by Dre's in-ear series. I'm not a big fan of Beats (you don't get alot for your money, unlike Grado).

You mentioned sport, stephenwilliams, and I've got the a-JAYS and they are perfect for sport. Heard the t-JAYS might "stick" a bit better to sitting in your ears while moving, can't confirm it though.

Good luck.
[General Accessories] SnowWaltz:
skullcandy my arse

seriously?! Skull candies are absolutely horrible in terms of built and sound quality... especially at the price i'd have to pay. Not appealing either.

beats, overrated and overpriced. Sound is not bad but at the price you are paying... i could get something alot better.

Sennheiser is not bad but their Quality control for cheaper models is a bit chaotic... Some perform extremely well, so do the complete opposite.

I'd go for their more pricey models if i want to be safe. Abit too bassy for me at times.

Sony - Clear sounds. I like how its not overwhelmed by the bass and the sounds are clear and distinct but at the same time you have the option to tune the bass up.
[General Accessories] 88hurst:
Have to agree with the s4's, the best I've heard for the price.
[General Accessories] Livingillusion:
As far as audio goes with headphones...

I'm cheap personally and also have a distaste for Ear-buds as i like to listen to music a lot and not have something stuck in my ears for extended periods. I can't say much for the Klipsch buds as the type isn't my preference, I'e heard lots of good feedback about klipsch though. I fell in love with bluetooth headphones after getting a pair but. my first ones were cheap (q11's to be exact and will never buy them again had 2 pairs break within the year). The headset i use now is made by proximus (as far as i know there's only one headset by them that's selling according to google). Don't know the model but for the price ($50 at compusa) they sound great. More than what i expected for $50 and now that i've checked they are around $30 as I bought them when there was no reveiws that i could find. These were the best Bluetooth headphones I've used for the price. Not base heavy but very clear without static or noise. And very, VERY loud. The only cons i can think of is the range is about half that of cheaper ones i've had. that's hardly an issue as i got them for use with my phone and netbook (comes with a usb bluetooth dongle as well for ones that don't have built-in bluetooth). Battery life is where they really shine(around 8 to 10 hours at full volume as advertised, even longer at lower volumes). Also the part that connects the speakers to the rest of the headset feels like it might break if dropped at the wrong angle or sat on but i plan on taking great care of them. Sometimes at Home i blast them while hanging around my neck as they are that loud. Call volume is even louder and beyond comfort in quieter settings but that can be adjusted. Mic is decent and haven't heard any complaints from the people i talk to on them. And i totally agree with the remarks on bose, skullcandy and beats. Many brands are overpriced for the quality. If anything sony is more reasonable in that area(can't say the same for their Laptops.) as a major brand. I also have a cheap pair of walmart sony hooked-style earphones that don't jam into my ears. They were $10 and i've yet to hear better ones for the same price but i cant expect high quality for that price but for 10 they are the best throw-aways if they break. They lack base but make up for it in clarity at that price. I've had over 5 pairs of those exact headphones over the course of 7 years. Those have been the best "crappy" ones i've ever had and I still buy them when i lose or break them.
[General Accessories] andre0407:
Given that the OP was looking for a pair of earphones for running, I'll say the Sennheiser Adidas PMX 680i.

It's sweat proof and not that expensive.

My personal favourite pair of headphones, though, would be the Marshall Major. Nice and snug fit and the sound is rich and warm from 6 hours from the first burn in.

JVC marshmallows. You can afford to replace them when they break, they stay put when working out, and sound surprisingly acceptable. I've had ultimate ears and shures before, all would crap out within months. I got tired of messing with warranties. Check out head-fi.org too for lots of discussions like this one.

[General Accessories] stumpyz9:
I'd never expect to get good quality with $10 headphones. If the only option is to keep buying new headphones every few weeks you'll waste a ton more money than buying a good pair. I did that a long time ago with skull candies. Would go through 2 pairs a month without abusing them.
[General Accessories] movalpolos:
If you're looking for just headphones and no mic/controls that are durable with good sound, I'd say give the Koss KSC75 a shot. Around $15 on Amazon. They are recommended on headfi time and again for a cheap portable headphone with decent sound, especially for running. I wouldn't recommend in ears for running, you'd hear every step.

Does anyone know if the Shure SE115m+ work with the headset controls in any version of Android?

If not which ones do? B&W C5?
[General Accessories] synaesthetic:
Koss KSC75 are the best headphones for running. They're clip-ons, not in-ear headphones, so you won't get the THUD-THUD-THUD whenever you run. They use Koss's amazing 60 ohm driver and sound incredible for the price. They're also built like tanks and can survive an astonishing amount of abuse.

You can usually find them on Amazon for about $15.

[General Accessories] bman212121:
I'm surprised there aren't more recommendations for Shure. They are expensive but if you're going to use them a lot it might be worth investing in a good pair of earbuds. The SE215 have detachable ear pieces so if you snag something you're not going to rip the bud out of your ear.

The only problem with going really cheap is that they tend to be uncomfortable. The pair that I tend to use are similar to Sony MDR-Q68LW. It's a headphone sized driver with a clip that goes over your ear. They will become uncomfortable after an hour or two but the good thing is they tend to stay on fairly well. I wouldn't mind upgrading to something like those Shures.

[General Accessories] jRi0T68:
It's really all about what you want from your headphones. The plastic housing on my Klipsch Image S4i cracked, so I'm researching replacements (thank you www.head-fi.org), and find many great IEMs with amazing clarity, but not much bass. I'd like more bass, but not at the expense of losing highs and mids. Looks like Shure SE215 is my best fit in my price range. Others may go for UE Triple.fi 10 or UE600.

Go to Head-fi, do the homework.

[General Accessories] appletechsupport:
I've found that canal phones, earphones that push into your ear canals, get uncomfortable fast when I run and come loose when I sweat. I've had the best luck with lightweight, cheap behind the head style headphones. Sound isn't great, but they stay put and are comfortable.

I can't imagine the OP, or anyone, really wanting to go running with IEMs (thud thud thud) or big, closed cans* with eventually sweaty pads.

Earbuds. I'd say check out the Sennheiser line. Double check with head-fi, but for the longest time the MX500 was one of the best headphones available under US$50. I recently replaced mine with the MX471 for €20. After burn-in, they sound great for an everyday, all-purpose beater headphone.

* on closed headphones: A few people mentioned the Sennheiser HD-25. I have these and love them. Great sound, super sturdy, blocks out a lot of noise. (I often use these not even plugged in just to block out annoyances.) But make sure you get the HD 25-1 II. The other one is the cheaper, not-that-great HD 25-SP. And simply "HD25" doesn't exist.
