I think I'll manage to not be too jealous, somehow...

Audeze LCD-2

Grado GS1000i

ACS-T15

Senn HD25-1 II

Of those though only the ACS-T15 and Senn's will be worth trying with the S3.

Klipsch s4 sounds great and affordable
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Mafiatounes:
Can someone recommend me good in ears for about max 100€ to use with the S3? I was thinking about getting the Bose IE2 but don't really know if there is something better for 100€ out there.

I listen to Rap, R&B, Electro, Trance mostly.

[Galaxy S III Accessories] 1Android:
Bose IE2 for the win IMO. most comfortable earphones I have ever had. I thought I was gonna have an issue with it not being an in ear canal earbud, but this is so much more comfortable. I cant believe how well they stay in your ear. I am a competitive cyclist and i will wear these for sometimes 6 hours for my rides (right ear only)and at the end cant even tell that I had been wearing anything in my ear. The sound is very good as well. At $89, I will buy these again in a heartbeat when mine decide to take a dive on me.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] 1Android:
I have a pair of new warranty replacement klipsch custom 2 earphones. used only a couple of times but got my bose very shortly after getting my replacement. I have the carrying case and the different size rubber pieces still all sitting in a drawer. I would sell these for a very reasonable price if anyone was interested. (I would ship to anywhere in the US

(picture of headphones are not mine. Google picture)

PM me for info
[Galaxy S III Accessories] pruhster:
I'm a sound engineer and owner of the SG3 and I really dislike the earbuds in the box. To get a good sound you really need a good fit and those are very uncomfortable too. I have a pair of JVC marshmellows and they sound better to me (and cost about € 10).

If you wanna pay premium go for custom fit in-ears like JH Audio. You have to go through the trouble of visiting an audiologist and it'll take some time before you get your pair but they will last you a really long time and the feel and sound is incomparable.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] TotallydubbedHD:
Stock earphones are rarely good, in comparison to earphones you can buy for a cheap price.

But recommending him JH is utterly pointless....there isn't a real need to go via the custom route, unless you really are a audio fanatic and/or actual performer.

If you want to dish out a lot of money on customs, then you might as well go for the top of the line universal earphones.

That's £200-400 (universal) vs £700....(customs) - for personal listening

And no, I'm not going to go to the length of recommending the ridiculously priced AKG K3003....
[Galaxy S III Accessories] LollieLaurie:
I have these:

Sleek Audio SA-1 and I love them they sounded great on my SII with poweramp as music player.

http://sleek-audio.com/products/universal/sa1
[Galaxy S III Accessories] pruhster:
Well I can hardly keep the stock headphones in my ear, so it doesn't help if they sound well. A cheaper pair that fits better also results in better sound because you get a more uniform sound across the spectrum.

And you don't have to pay 700+ pounds for custom in-ears. The entry level JH Audio for example for $399 are excellent.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] TotallydubbedHD:
of course, but why would you get an entry level custom?

End of the day customs are identical to universals (at least I think) - the only difference is how they fit in your ears.

Long story short a 3xBA driver in a universal will be half the price (usually) as a custom.

My honest opinion for high-end earphones - get the TDK BA200's for £160 - they are like my PFE232's, just lack that extra detail - but for that price the TDK are the cream of the crop.

http://www.totallydubbed.net/headphone-inventory/

List of earphones I've heard - with reviews.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] pruhster:
Well the reputable manufacturers of custom in ears will test and tune each earpiece to perform at its best in your ear, even for their cheapest models. You don't get this with universals. You can test the effect yourself by moving an earplug in your ear to see how the response changes, particularly obvious in the bass. So for the premium price you get:

- flat response

- perfect fit (you never get tired of them)

- better insulation (that could be a removable filter in some models)

- durability (the cables are usually replaceable)

So to me buying expensive universals is like getting high-end speakers and putting them in a bad sounding untreated room. But if you get to test them and they fit and sound well - sure.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] TotallydubbedHD:
I won't argue here - but you should look at the high-end universals :)

I agree with your points though, but don't really follow the "the reputable manufacturers of custom in ears will test and tune each earpiece to perform at its best in your ear" if that was the case, why don't they have 1 model and not 5? ;)

"You can test the effect yourself by moving an earplug in your ear to see how the response changes" and I'm sorry if you had to do that on a universal....then you clearly weren't getting a good fit - but hey what do I know...
[Galaxy S III Accessories] pruhster:
The difference between models is usually the number and type of drivers.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] TotallydubbedHD:
I know :)
[Galaxy S III Accessories] sama:
I can't believe there's a headphone thread and no one has mentioned Etymotic.

http://www.etymotic.com/ephp/er4.html

These are the best headphones ever made, period. Get these with a custom fit:

http://www.etymotic.com/customfit/index.html

and you'll have aural pleasure with the S3!

They don't come cheap, but I can tell you that at medium volume, on the underground when a train is screeching past, I can't hear a thing other than the music. And when I turn them on to the max, noone around me can hear a thing.

Not to mention the superb range
[Galaxy S III Accessories] TotallydubbedHD:
Lol.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] sama:
Ok, that was a bold statement, but they're pretty damn good :)
[Galaxy S III Accessories] TotallydubbedHD:
I've yet to find the perfect headphone/earphone.

There are many that come very close to perfection.

My PFE232's all they need is better isolation...I even thought of getting custom sleeves for them. Costs around $100 from 1964.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] sama:
I think with a custom sleeve, even £10 headphones sound superior.

The triple seal that came with the ESR4's was even better isolation than the custom fit, but it gave me an ear-ache after prolonged use!

There's a really annoying thing I find with tight fits though, that's the wire rubbing on clothes whilst under tension and creating a bass sound, or worse yet getting caught in something and creating a thump! I've ended up putting a clip in the center of the Y split and letting the wire from the to my ears have some slack. Seems to work well
[Galaxy S III Accessories] TotallydubbedHD:
use them over-the-ear and the microphonics (cable noise) drastically are improved :)
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Yaotl:
Anyone with a button/mic on their headphones know if track skipping works without problem? Should be a quick double click on the button. I use a pair of Shure 215s with the replacement cord.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] sama:
thanks, I'll try that
[Galaxy S III Accessories] TotallydubbedHD:
no problem :)

It has helped me a lot with overcoming the microphonics that are present in certain earphones.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] gavinfabl:
Personally like my Bose AE2i. Comfy, reasonable sound and lovely with S3.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] GanJiMan:
I've had those for about 2 years now with various devices. They need some fiddling with the equalizer, but when done right the sound is truly amazing with any device.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] sama:
They're monitor headphones so they're true to the sound. Good tracks I find don't need anything, but yea some EQ'ing is good
[Galaxy S III Accessories] ZeneticX:

u guys can try this. JVC HA-FR201

[Galaxy S III Accessories] FITRS:
Do these have balanced sound? I don't mind decent bass, but I prefer crisp treble and non-muffled mids. Most "decent" earphones these days are just base heavy and lack any clarity with treble and mids.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] ZeneticX:
they've been receiving positive reviews at head fi. some even claim it is better than AT CKS77 and various other IEMs which cost way much more

[Galaxy S III Accessories] drbveb88:
+1... I have the S4's and my ears love them. They really fit nice and the sound is pretty amazing for under $100.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] FITRS:
Thanks.. but gee they are ugly.

These look great and apparently sound awesome, but from the feedback, two things people say about the K S4 is they don't fit a lot of people's ears and the build quality means they break easily.. I sorta expect earphones to last at least 3-5 years. My last pair UE's only last 13 months.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] currydude:
Does anyone know if the Sennheiser PX360 BT headphone volume and media buttons work with the sgs3 or even my TFP for that matter?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] multijoy:
Quick question - I picked up my s3 yesterday and have just got around to plugging my etymotics in for the first time, but I can't seem to control the volume etc with the inline remote.

I've jumped ship from the iPhone, so I'm not sure if there are some settings I need to set to enable it - any thoughts?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] TotallydubbedHD:
Yes unfortunately, you'll need to use another adapter.

I've often found things with Mic, unless specifically designed for Android won't work on an Android...only on an iPhone...

Usually the sound is also reduced/distorted/affected, due to having a Mic on an Android.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] TotallydubbedHD:
Just got my blue one in - the sound quality coming out of the s3, via my pfe232's is very good.

Not as "fun sounding" as my S1 with voodoo sound, but still, absolutely excellent out of the box!
[Galaxy S III Accessories] FITRS:
Thanks. I picked up a pair of JVC Marshmellows for $15, good sound for the price. A little soft in the mids, but for the price they perform very well.

I bought a pair of Klipsch Image S4's as well for $47. The reputation of being clear, balanced earphones aren't wrong at all! I'm really loving them. Hopefully they will last the distance and won't break. The only complaint is the sound pressure is quite high.

Awesome list, I went through your reviews before deciding. Thanks for the reviews.

btw, I'm using them on my SGS1 CM9 via PowerAmp. Still need to get my SGS3. :p
[Galaxy S III Accessories] TotallydubbedHD:
Thanks mate! :)

And nice :D!

I presume without voodoo sound?

As voodoo isn't supported any more on CM based roms.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] FITRS:
Yes, it's a nightly build a while back. Was fairly stable and did everything I needed so I've stayed with it. If CM9 has no Voodoo, it's ok, PowerAmp does a decent job. I know I can hear some distortion when I pump it up, but I think I can run these Klipsch S4's at half volume in a noisy environment since the sound isolation is pretty good.

I tried Voodoo sound on a Gingerbread ROM I was using and I wasn't getting the right sound with out along side PowerAmp. Probably because I didn't know how to configure Voodoo.

Hopefully when I get the S3 I'll enjoy Klipsch S4 + PA + VS + Wolfson. ;)
[Galaxy S III Accessories] TotallydubbedHD:
oh it's quite simple to configure - I can't imagine listening to music without voodoo on my S1.

Can you image: I flashed to stock, then realised I wouldn't have voodoo on it (properly) for my trip on the eurostar, so I flashed CF root, just to use voodoo lol.

Once I got to my destination, i flashed back to stock, because I was ready to sell my S1.

Ended up keeping the S1 after all, but anyway lol :D

I remember thinking: I couldn't careless about rom, ext4 etc, I just want voodoo sound! :D
[Galaxy S III Accessories] llcooljazz:
Check out the video on here. I like the app, remote functions and the fact the white matches the S3. White's coming soon, but the black is in stock.

[Galaxy S III Accessories] TotallydubbedHD:

[Galaxy S III Accessories] FITRS:
You are quite the Voodoo addict. :)

I think Supercurio said he'll be doing Voodoo on the S3, I haven't been following recently though.

The S1 is still a great phone after two years on. Mine still going strong!
[Galaxy S III Accessories] TotallydubbedHD:
oh indeed, but when you go voodoo you never go back :p

S3 yes his working on it - soon, and I'm excited :D!
[Galaxy S III Accessories] m8tix:
I still can't decide between shure se215 and phonak audeo x12.

Could anyone tell me which one would sound better after adapting changes with voodoo sound control (or anyone tested both on a s1) ? Are there any major differences ? Thanks in advance !
[Galaxy S III Accessories] TotallydubbedHD:
shure will have better bass & isolation

phonak will have better mids, and are super light
[Galaxy S III Accessories] m8tix:
Yeah I'm aware of that but from what I read you can pretty much tune the mids with an eq from shure se215 so they would sound a bit more clearer. But I don't have that much experience with it :/

I'm only afraid that se215 might be to bassy for my genre...rock/punk/ska/alternate and a bit hardtek/tekno (max. 10%). Any advice ? I probably need to try them out at first.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] TotallydubbedHD:
If you want some bass, stay away from BA drivers (ie the phonaks), if you want mids above all else, go running to BA drivers.

EQ'ing = yes I could EQ anything to sound good/great, but there comes a point where EQ'ing becomes ridiculous (looking at the head-fi hype of the Aurisonics ASG-1's)
[Galaxy S III Accessories] m8tix:
I have expected a similar answer, thanks :) I have to try them both until I can decide which one to pick.

Anyway I've been reading and watching your reviews now for quite some time about various in ear headphones. I originally wanted to buy the denon ah-c751 based upon your review but they don't seem to be that good for sports because of their weight. On the positive side, they have the best value for money and should outperform klipsch s4 (same price range). And then I stumbled across shure and phonak :D Keep up your great work and thanks for all reviews and impressions !
[Galaxy S III Accessories] TotallydubbedHD:
No problem man!

And well my reviews change all the time.

At the time of VIDEO reviewing the C751's I really thought they were amazing, and they are, but as time goes by...and you own more and more earphones....you start to realise there are other things out there.

C751's -> if comfort/weight + warm mids isn't a problem = winner
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Aimara:
have you guys actual test the earphone recommended on the S3 ?

just test my old stock galaxy S earphones on S3 , sounds weird , incompatible as well , not yet tested the mic thou , looks like samsung change the jack , S2 stock ear phones sounds ok with S3
[Galaxy S III Accessories] mickeko:
That's because the wiring in the sgs connector has switched polarities (ie Nokia standard) compared to the ones in sgs2/sgs3 (which are compatible with headsets for iphone, with the exception of volume buttons).

[Galaxy S III Accessories] mickeko:
I don't remember where I got the info as it was relevant to me back when I wanted to use an iphone-compatible headset with my old sgs. There are adaptor cables available to buy that will switch the polarity to make it work if you want to use one headset with the other.

I will probably be getting custom sleeves for my PFE232's via 1964ears :)

I'll keep y'all posted when I actually get them done/received!

Cost is $115 incl shipping for the sleeves

Impressions were 20€
[Galaxy S III Accessories] KennyLegend:
+1 on the Klipsch S4s.

I found they need burn in though. When I bought them first they were a little muffled and the bass was loose.

Now after about 30 hours They have great clarity, mids and nice tight, punchy bass.

At first I didn't find them comfortable wearing them normally but with the "over the ear" method they fit much better for me. The cable seems a little thin and the restraint on the jack seems a little flimsy. I hope they stand the test of time.

They cost me €75.

For someone looking for something a little cheaper I would recommend the Soundmagic e30's. Again, great fit and clarity, are of decent build quality but lack slightly in the bass department.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] nucgaek:
From personal experience, the Brainwavz B2 and PFE112 had decent clarity and detail but lacked bass. Probably would improve with some amping.

The VSonic GR06 on the other hand did a good job, with electronic/dance they handled everything quite well.

And if it hasn't been said already, play/pause/skip work fine with the PFE112

Bose MIE2 or OE2

I've been wondering for a while, looking in numerous threads about wich headset should I buy, sadly i only have acces to very few high end headsets in my country, so i was wondering on some compatibility opinions about the Bose MIE2 or Bose OE2i, I know the OE2i only works with iPhone or apple products, but in some other posts there appears to be some peopple that managed to use them (including the mic and answering button) with some android devices but it's only a myth when it comes to the galaxy s3, I'd like to know if someone actually tested the bose OE2i with their galaxy s3 and evertything worked out (specially the mic), if not, how about the Bose MIE2

(sorry for my english and the long post ;) )
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Goodtill:
I have a set of Bose Iphone headset and a Probeats headset. Neither of them have a working microphone on my VZ GS3. You can get them to mute and skip with , but no mic.

I would really like a good quality headset with a working microphone so I do not have to remove everything if a call comes in while I have my headset on

Klipsch Android headphones.

Buy them when they're 50% off at Fry's Electronics every other week. The stealth mic on them is as high quality as you're going to get for a pair of cell phone headphones.

Hoppingfully yours,

[Galaxy S III Accessories] Raugote:
Just FYI the Bose MIE2 work flawlessly with the galaxy s3, mic works grat, the button works as the original s3 headset

the only issue i found with these is that they don't isolate noise, and thus, lowers the quality of the music playback, specially base, but the solution is quite easy

just plug the medium tips that came with the original headset inside the bose in-ear tips and you have the perfect headset...with some noise isolation and splendid sound, in all departmens (base, middles and trebble)

so far, I'm very satisfied, especially because these are the most comftable headphones I've ever used; but I know that maybe the Shure headset might be better soundwise, but not in durability many reports say that the left earphone breaks after a month or less
[Galaxy S III Accessories] derberts:
Just purchased the Sony EX310LP's. After having the Bose MIE2i's and the Klipsch S4's, these are definitely better.

Thought to update everyone:

I had to do impressions for the custom sleeves I wanted to put on for my PFE 232's.

I did it in France 3x, but they were all bad (I can now tell how bad they were)

I did it once in the USA, in LA, and 1964ears are happy with the impressions (attached blue ones) - and now i've sent my PFE 232's off to them for custom sleeves.

This would be a worlds first for the PFE232's, documented, and reviewed on the internet.

Stay tuned :D
