Like others have said, I wouldn't buy the skullcandys. My only experience, albeit limited, is through listening to a friend's set when he wanted me to hear some tracks. Personally, I thought the build quality and sound quality were both garbage. The Beats are acceptable if you just want some noise to get through a work day. If you are trying to get a good set of cans, I would look to the more 'professional' brands. I love my Sennheiser HD650s and also have a pair of Grado SR80's that I keep in my bag and you can find them cheap (<$100). Just my two cents, though.
[HTC Rezound] alford6:
yh i think the beats are better . i also heard the beats solo have too much bass and is not balanced. i see many djs using the hesh . they told me that they are cheaper and could go to higher volumes. do u think the rezounds beats software would sound good with skull candy too
[HTC Rezound] tekhna:
Both beats and skullcandy suck. Get some real headphones.
[HTC Rezound] alford6:
narrr man. they are good .they aint any other name band other than bose that are good quality
[HTC Rezound] alford6:
im willing to sell my i beats for some over the head headset
[HTC Rezound] tekhna:
English please.
[HTC Rezound] alford6:
lol. i was saying. there are not any other head phones, that are affordable and have good quality
[HTC Rezound] tekhna:
Klipsch, Etymotics, Shure. Those are just a few of the easily available, reasonably priced, substantially better options than Bose, Skullcandy or Beats. Bose sounds like brittle poop.
[HTC Rezound] mjones73:
I love my Etymotics ER-4's. Little pricey compared to the other ones here, they have lower prices in ears though.
[HTC Rezound] alford6:
i hope yall know what good headphone sound like
[HTC Rezound] nosympathy:
Bose is all name. The Bose sound sucks. Plenty of better headphones for less or same price can be had.

Etymonics are amazing. I actually like the klipsche a lot. B&W are amazing when priced against monster. 299.99 P5's demolish anything in that price range.
[HTC Rezound] Smitelight:
I wouldn't say Bose headphones or speakers suck, per se. The majority of them produce very respectable sound. You can just get higher quality headphones for less than a Bose costs. Everything's relative.

The best headphones I've ever bought were a $80 pair of RadioShack store-brand over-ear "Titaniums" that aren't sold anymore. Things produced the sweetest highs, clearest mids, and thumpiest lows I ever asked for. Lasted nearly four years (with much of the padding damaged/replaced by tape and packing foam, heh) through three moves, endless pet chewing, and admittedly excessive volume without a hint of the thin cable breaking or the diaphragms distorting. Far as I know, they still work--they were so great, I lost them in the divorce in exchange for $200 of auto body work. :cool: Been looking for a solid replacement pair ever since. Nothing with the Beats brand comes even close--brand name garbage that adds heavy weights to $5 headphones and pretends heft=quality.
[HTC Rezound] quikfinger00:
I wouldnt touch skullcandy earphones/headphones unless money was really tight..

Bose arent bad at all. I actually have both the bose mie2's and the etymotics hf5's and i DO use my hf5s alot more than my bose. The only huge issue with the mie2's are the fact that i cant get a complete ear canal seal with the stock inserts. They are in my opinion a bit overpriced. If they can be had for 70 id say go for them. I bought my hf5's for about 80 and i have to say that they are the best money can buy (in that price range). another good set of earbuds are the audeos phonaks. I keep hearing about how well balanced they are. They are supposed to have better base than the hf5's but weaker mids and highs. Hope this helps!

[HTC Rezound] hopesrequiem:
I have klipsch image One s4i's. They sound so good. Amazing highs and mids and tight bass. But for hip hop, the i beats are great. My $0.02
[HTC Rezound] afmracer6:
Im not a fan of the beats. Using 40$ skullcandys way better
[HTC Rezound] Caladus:
This. I personally prefer Klipsch.
[HTC Rezound] tbaker077:
I take you never heard anything from the like of Klipsch, Sennheiser, AKG . Hell, even Monsters own Turbine line, which has many models that cost about iBeats sound much better than the iBeat, and even the Solos. Check them out at your local Best Buy(Magnolia section), or Guitar Center brosef.
[HTC Rezound] alford6:
if the htc rezound didnt have in beats audio ,non of yall would of bought it. if the rezound came with skull candy or any other headphones , no one would by it.

even if beats aint the best quality , its stil the best now
[HTC Rezound] tbaker077:
I didn't get it for the beats. I got it for the dual core cpu, 720p display and better reception vs the Galaxy Nexus.
[HTC Rezound] tekhna:
+1

I threw away the headphones.
[HTC Rezound] douger1957:
I have a set of Shure in the ear headphones that I love. The Beats phones that came with the Rezound seem to emphasize the bass while muddying the mid and upper end.

And I am hardly an audiophile.

Completely agree. I sold my pair of ibeats headphones to help offset the cost of the phone. Don't miss them a bit!
[HTC Rezound] alford6:
well yh i agree with yall too. so y not sell the ibeats and attempt to get the solo?

i thought the solo was a good buy

Why would you do something like that? To make a statement?

o_O

Could of sold them for a nice piece of change.
[HTC Rezound] nrfitchett4:
personally, I like the beats headphones for music though I think they are little base heavy for everything else.

They are still the nicest headphones I've ever owned, probably because I've never spent more than 20 bucks on any other set...
[HTC Rezound] a.mcdear:
Beats sound terrible if you ask me. I do audio engineering professionally, and I honestly think its abhorrent that anybody could charge $120 retail for these terrible sounding iBeats phones. There is TOO much bass, but its muddy and not-well-defined bass, and it doesn't even hit deep either cause there's practically no sounds below 60hz coming from these phones. The mids are thin and uninspiring, providing very little depth and soundstage, and the highs are very thin as well. These just honestly sound like garbage. I even went as far as to buy an old Dr. Dre CD to see if somehow it sounded better with his music (his name is on them after all) and still unimpressed. My old Sony 7506 phones sound 300% better, and i have a cheap set of $30 Philips ear buds that provide dramatically more accurate sound reproduction and sound stage than these iBeats.

Honestly, its a shame these things are even on the market, because people who aren't audiophiles will buy these thinking they must be amazing because of the name on them and because of the price... and they will end up getting used to extremely poor sounding headphones. I honestly think people who "like" them just like loud music, because the moment I let people listen to them and then directly compare them to the Sony 7506, they always agree that the 7506 sound much better... and the 7506 aren't even spectacular phones! Sony 7506 will still go max volume without any distortion at all,when I have others compare the iBeats vs the Philips which sound much better but can't handle max volume, I get more mixed reviews, sometimes in favor of the iBeats. Seems people like to go for what gets loudest without incurring distortion.

To get a better idea just how bad theese iBeats really sound, use them for making phone calls. I often find people to be unrecognizable by their voice alone if i didn't look at the screen to see who called before I answer. They have such poor sound accuracy that peoples voices just don't even sound correct.
[HTC Rezound] alford6:
its good to here from an audio engineering professionally. do yall think, the only reason person buy beats is because it has a stylish look. because the headphones mentioned in this forum aint good looking. i wouldnt leave my house with a ugly headphone over my ear

PLEASE GIVE THIS FORUM A RATING SO WE COULD HERE MORE PERSON's IDEAS

Skullcandys are ehhh, except the Rocnation Aviators which are like $150, Beats Solo HDs are awesome, heavy bass not for everybody though, and secret for u, right now the Yao Ming edition is $119 on the refurb site, but they actually are sending everybody brand new ones in the sealed box for just $119, I've already bought 2 pair, have one on my head as I'm typing lol

http://www.monstercable.com/outletstore/linelist.asp
[HTC Rezound] jmorton10:
Yea, I bought a pair of the beats studios from that site & I absolutely LOVE them.

I also have the beats solos (which I don't really like at all) & a set of v-modas but I like the studios the best so it's all a matter of taste.
[HTC Rezound] surfer2.3:
While headphones are nice, I enjoy music the most through my trucks sound system using a Sony MEX-BT5000 head with 4 Polks combined with a 300 watt mono channel Kicker amp and sub. Sorta like PANDORA on steroids.

Sorta makes headphones...err...

The Rezy is a sound machine!
[HTC Rezound] jmorton10:
Lol, talk about off topic....

I have an absolutely killer sound system in my truck also (I used to sell/install competition grade car stereos) but that doesn't mean you don't need a good set of headphones...
[HTC Rezound] alford6:
What yall think about 50 cent and ludacris headphones compared to dr dre
[HTC Rezound] WasabiWa83:
I have the Soul from Ludacris and freaking love them. They're much better than Beats. They still have a strong bass, but they also have awesome highs and mids. They're some of the cleanest sounding headphones I've ever purchased. Thanks to this thread, though, I got some V-Moda Crossfades. They sound a little better than the Souls and are built like tanks. The Souls are built better than Beats, but they're still very plastic feeling. The Crossfades are mostly metal.

EDIT: Oh, and the Crossfades were $120 after one day shipping. A little better than the $200 I paid for the Souls.
[HTC Rezound] DertyDOH:
I'm actually selling a pair of Street By 50s on ebay for $180
[HTC Rezound] RavenousYankee:
I love my Shure SE210 Earphones, I got my Rezound lightly used without the beats earphones.

I still consider the Beats By Dre Studio edition, but pricey.
[HTC Rezound] alford6:
im Hearing so much bad comments about the quality of beats. do you think htc made a bad desicion to work with beats audio
[HTC Rezound] nrfitchett4:

[HTC Rezound] loyalhtc:
i loveee the beats head phones
[HTC Rezound] davidetkin511:
i use bose AE2. IMO they're way better than any beats you can buy. they have just as much bass but they are also much crisper than the beats. beats are basically just overwhelming bass that makes it so you can barly hear what they're saying. The earbuds are very good. but with the solo and studio.. its too much. I like bose.
[HTC Rezound] platinumrims:
The ibeats aren't bad, they need tweaking, like all other headphones do. But I'd never pay 100 dollars for them, I have some Sennhisers (sp) that sound sick on my phone, also I have a set of diddybeats earbuds that also sound sick, waaayyyy better than the ibeats, the base is Unreal but controlled (also have to dial it down though, like way down lol. But even with it cranked up it's still faaarrr more controlled and easy than the ibeats, there's really no comparison by how much better they are ), mids and highs are really good too, they sound amazing for earbuds.

If you don't want ear buds I'd probably get some Senns. Really can't go wrong with those, even the less expensive ones can sound really good, I don't remember what mine are but I think thy were the 200ish dollar ones, I only paid 100ish for them though. My diddybeats are about 200 too, but I only paid 40 for them :D

I mostly use my Senns for gaming though, i just prefer my DiddyBeatsfor music not to mention I don't want gigantic headphones on all the time :rolleyes:,

But It's funny that all my headphones sound better on my phone than my computer, like omg miles better lol. I use volume+ to tweak.

I haven't used these in a long time & forgot how awesome they sound for the price. I replaced the stock tips with the compression foam tips & use DSP on my phone with them & they are absolutely amazing for the price.
[HTC Rezound] loyalhtc:
will htc have an agreement with any other music company? like 50 cent or ludacris

that would make them the best music phone company.

ibeats

i really think that the i beats is the best in ear headphones ever. i have listened to high pitch voices and low, heavy bass. the head phones delivers excellence

Or reinstall stock kernel / rom
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] WT Ho:
I think the instruction in that thread is for US Galaxy Player. Following that down to letter will really brick his device. He will need a ROM that match his international device.

He was trying to flash a GB kernel on a Froyo system, which is most likely what caused the problem. Reflashing the stock kernel on rj's thread will not help.

What he need to do is to reflash a stock ROM or some other odin ROM under development forum. If his device is an international YP-G70 5.0, these Odin flashable ROM should fix the problem.

Stock ROM:

With rj's kernel:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1446774

Now let's check if you can go to download mode (Home+power+vol down). If you can still get to download mode, then you should be able to flash one of the above ROMs.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] cvcduty:
I went from stock Froyo to a custom GB rom without a hitch... The issue here seems that he might have tried a US rom on his international unit... Also to get into Download mode is Vol down (-) + Power... Hold them both until you see the yellow download mode picture... then plug in to your PC to run Odin3...

On a second read... I realized the OP had put a GB kernel on his stock (Probably Froyo) rom... hence the bootloop... You need to get the entire rom package... Look for the threads that start with [ROM]... and not [Kernel]... and also make sure you are getting the right (International or US) rom for your device... Good luck

Is there a way to set battery indicator to show charge according voltage.My phone battery indicator is not showing the correct charge it drops the charge very quickly and stay on 1% for more time than it took to discharge to 1%.I have tried different roms, kernels and battery calibration methods but nothing solved the isuue.

I also want to know that if i flash a radio can it help in this situation as i have never flashed any radios my phone current baseband version is N-01.100.00R.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] G-Man.:
You're either using a cheap extended battery or your OEM battery is having issues... Search for the battery calibration thread and try that - Charge it as high as it will charge and run the Battery Calibration app from the android market... Or purchase a new OEM battery if that doesnt work.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] terminator1983:
My phone battery is original that came with the phone and is having this issue from the first day. I have seen various threads in which people who have bought the new original batteries have the same issue so i am little confused if buy a new one and it had the same problem.

I have done the calibration many times and also pulled out the battery after reaching 100% when the phone was off and let it on charge for about another 3hrs.I have also used external charger for charging.

In what context is stealing others work and claiming it as your own okay?:confused:

Edit: what about the patent Apple filed recently for a "facial recognition unlock" on their products!? It seams to me Apple is holding up the progress of technology by acquiring their products in court and not in the lab or whatever. They just throw around their weight and money and bully other companies to steal. Jesus Steve Jobs said it himself and you are still trying to defend them.
