I've been using the Klipsch S4 happily for a year and i love them with the One X. I don't like the beats profile either, too deep and muddy.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] JoeyDez:
I've got the Urbeats earbuds form Monster and together with the beats audio on the One X they sound phenomenal!

I've had a lot of over ear and in ear headphones, but this one tops it all off.

Something about the klipsh-one xl combo bothers me though...I can always hear a background noise whenever there is a silent or quiet moment in the middle/beginning of a song (even when no beats)...the clarity of the S4 is actually a bit of a drawback due to One XL's audio decoding I guess...sticking with Sennheiser HD238 for now...:crying:

I really enjoy my iBeats in-ear headphones!

but for home use I use Philips Stretch which, in my opinion, are better than Beats Studio.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] doublespark:
I figured my first post should be contributional rather than interrogative.

I currently wear a pair of Koss Porta Pros for daily usage, with a pair of cheap earbuds for the gym, just to avoid the sweat. The impedence is a little high, so it doesn't get loud when you're already experiencing the masking effect (IE ambient noise is drowning out your music, so you crank the music to drown out the ambient noise) and they're over-ear so the sound does leak, but they have a Lifetime replacement warrenty and the non-inline control version 30 years old and tried and true. $50 retail, $70 for the inline controls (but no mic)...and did I mention I bought mine for $35 on Amazon? They were recommended to me as being the better balance of quality and frugality, and the numbers and the experience back it up. But I encourage you not to take just my word for it. Do some research, and if you can, physically test them yourself. If you can't tell the difference no matter what you pay, then you should not pay more than the minimum.

If the impedence bothers you, you can get a preamp and run that between the two, but you'll draw more power.

I have an opinion on Beats, and it's not kind.

sounds pretty good and under $10 with flat wires which minimize rub noises / tangle issues

If your going to buy beats, which are good headphones just not for the price range. Get some Audio-Technica ATH-M50.

If your going cheaper go Vic Firth Stereo Isolation Headphones, you can get them under $50. Got both in my studio and love them. Ear buds I don't like that much but I got so cheap kick around ****'s that I like.

JVC Xtreme Xplosives In Ear Stereo Earphones HA-FX1X

Hey guys,

just bought from eBay those

JVC Xtreme Xplosives In Ear Stereo Earphones HA-FX1X

for 17.99$.

Not bad, U guess :laugh:

will leave a feedback as siin I got them.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] redpoint73:
Haven't tried these exact ones, with the flat wires. But I've had a couple pairs of pack-in HTC headsets in the past, and the sound is horrible. I don't like the word "audiophile", but I at least have some minimal standards for sound, and the HTC headsets don't meet them. Bad bass and treble, just hollow sounding, almost as bad as the 2-dollar headphones they give you on an airplane.

If you have some basis for comparison, I'd be interested to hear your opinion on these flat-wired HTC headsets. The HTC headsets I've had in the past sound much worse than the ubiquitous white iPhone/iPod pack-ins (not the new iPhone 5 "earpods" - haven't tried those yet), which are only mediocre themselves. And those are much worse than the Audio-Technica earbuds I got for $30 or $40 (no microphone or buttons, just plain earbuds) and use most of the time.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] ECEXCURSION:
One thing I really don't like about them is how large the driver is. I have decided to still use my skullcandys instead because I can lay down on my pillow without damaging my ears. The other ones are just too big.

If your a Dj then you should do yourself the favor and try some tma-1s, hdj2000s, ultrasones, heck even at 100 bucks the hdj500s are still better than some beats... that's of course if you haven't already tried these particular cans before.

Even in the Dj world beats are not very highly regarded when compared to other offerings.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] cafonez:
I couldnt help but see this thread, cant wait to check some of these out. Also wanted to make a mention if any of you live near Ross, Tjmaxx, Marshalls etc .. sometimes you might be able to find good headsets pretty cheap. .. well they might not be as good as the ones some of you guys talk about as I am not an audiophile. but for example, 16.99 skull candy buds can be found for 7.99, found a pair of $50 Sonys for 14.99 etc .. I just been hesitant to buy b/c I want to get a bluetooth dj style with a mic.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] jesi.james:
Haven't seen it mentioned yet but Sennheiser cx 300B mkII headphones work damn well. They're enhanced bass and they've paired up extremely well with the beats eq curve. Price was 33.81 on amazon last time I checked. They've lasted me a year and a quarter so far with no problems what so ever, but that's because I tried my best to take care of them and store them in the little leather bag/case I got with it. The only abuse they've seen is some cord pulling along with a large amount of volume with a lot if bass being played through them. Nothing bad so far with em.

On another note, if you happen to come across wooden earbuds, get them to try out if the price is reasonable. They have amazing bass response

I know this is probably the last thing you want to hear, but I personally like the new Apple EarPods. I had the Beats ear buds and those sounded like garbage. At home I use Sony v700's. But, for listening on the bus or bike rides I use the ear pods and they sound good enough and they're cheap. Only thing is the buttons don't work. :|
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] silentecho13:
I'm a huge Klipsch fan. I have their speakers for my theater as well as my computer (Love the Promedia 2.1's).

I think you'll really like the S4 and S5 earbuds. I have heard the X10's as well which do sound pretty good. Other than that, you're looking at spending money for quality. Maybe consider a pair from Ultimate Ears, Beyer, Etymotic, or Sennheiser. There's always Shure too. I actually did love the V-Moda Vibes when they first came out, you can probably get them cheap now.

As far as full size goes, I love my Audio Technica ATH-M50's on the HOXL using aznrice's VooDoo mod.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] ECEXCURSION:
Hello, all!

I know nothing about this new, hip sound; But, I do know a fair bit about good sound in general.

For years I have suggested "SkullCandy-whatever" earbuds (for cellphones) (for normal users). However, recently, I have discovered that they will only last 5+ years and you get what you pay for. IMO, you are better off spending $250 for some Sennheiser 280 Pro's if you care about sound quality.

Just my 2 cents.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] ir87:
What kind of remote does it have? Three button? And does it work with Android?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Poetique:
I'm about 6 hours away from ordering a pair of Xears myself. Assuming I make up my mind in that time frame (I've been "deciding" for 2 months now though O.O)

Though apparently the pair I wanted is out of stock for the moment... if I don't end up waiting I might end up with a pair of Brainwavz R1s

One thing I do recommend though for those who take advantage of Beats Audio is to go for either a "balanced" or "analytical" pair of earpieces as opposed to a "warm" or "bassy" earpiece to balance out the increased bass/treble of the Beats Audio algorithm. Unless you're a bass head, in which case, go ahead and double down on the bass lol.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] WhatTheAndroid?:
I have the klipsch s3's and they sound really great for 25$ headphones(amazon), They are very close with my sl99's which were 100$ I use to have although they have a little less base but you can adjust eq to make bass more noticeable(what I Did)But if you have 20$ more i reccomend the sl99's for 50$ on amazon. ( Got them because of good reviews (4/5 on amazon) and i loved them, Just right amount of bass, Great for dubstep,Rap,etc) But i am just putting my 2C in so I hope someone this info helps someone..

Dear Friends, i read 2-3 the forum topics about headphones. and still didnt find an answer. Here it goes, im looking for a headphones(really?), controls applied. Now i made my self a list of interesting earphones:

1, Sony 1264-5582 MW600 Hi-Fi Wireless Headset with FM Radio - Retail Packaging

2. NOCS NS200H-001 NS200 3.5mm Earphone

3. Klipsch S4a

3. Klipsch Image S4i Premium

4. LG Tone Wireless Bluetooth Stereo Headset

5. Sony 1262-3330 Smart Headset with SmartKey Control Wired

6. JayBird JF3

7.Sennheiser CX 300B MK II Precision

8. beats tour (in the list in sake of completeness)

Now i will be using them for jazz, classical, and some rock/blues music. Overall quality, sound quality/ear fitting/noise cancellation/answering the call is main objective. I want to spend maximum 70$ including shipping in the US. In a case of bluetooth device charging adapter is the main concern, as i dont want to use xy charging adapters. i cant make a choice between these 7 items.

Any advice is highly appreciated!

Please help!

I recently picked up the Klipsch Image S4A II. What sold me on them was the inline remote that you can customize with the klipsch android app.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] rfree2340:
I couldn't be happier with my Bose! They're incredible for the size that they are, I didn't even know ear buds could have so much bass (not just that though, the sound stage, frequency response and overall balance is awesome). The biggest thing for me was not having in ears, I hate the way they feel and isolate noise - I'd like to have an idea of my surroundings at least a little bit.

Also, geek squad 2 year warranty means they're good against any wear and tear,

which is awesome because earbuds can break quickly.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Sluff:
I'm going to bet a good amount of money that this person did not bother to look at the actual product before asking his question.

Pretty sure the admin from WeLoveWP.HK is correct in that 7.8 only gets new tile sizes. On the other hand, it is unlikely that this petition will convince Microsoft to add additional features for current generation phones.

I provided my 3 votes, even though I switched to Android from WP7 a few months ago. I kinda guessed the new kernel meant that the current Mango phones weren't going to get upgraded.

Honestly, a whole OS upgrade isn't necessary for the phones, as long as some kind of incentive program could be available to encourage devs to attempt to make apps that weren't hardware-limited to run on both WP8 and WP7. Stuff like Instagram, Flipboard, simple games, etc.

Edit: Oh, and one thing that would've made me stick with WP7 longer would have been a simple Webkit-compatible browser. Half the mobile websites I visited wouldn't display properly because the browser didn't support Webkit. Extremely annoying.

Turned on my Odin to get stock rom on and try everything again , went to download mode but after a few seconds of pressing start Odin wrote FAIL.
