Those look expensive :)

Of course they'd blow anything out of the water...

But with all headphones, generally you get what you pay for. Klipsch imo compete with headphones double their price, but are no match for ones triple the price most of the time.

With good headphones you need a good player to suit your music. No point having $300 headphones and a crappy $20 MP3 player. Needs to be a good balance :) Awesomebeats DSP manager + klipsch s4i/Image One =win :D

There is nothing wrong with the s4 or klipsch.... but I was just trying to say that not all monster products are crap. I got a pair of monster turbine pro coppers for 99 from their outlet sale last year.... was absolutely worth it.

[Nexus 7 Accessories] kpjimmy:
LOL, well I didn't ask for opinions on headphones, I figured there are enough threads and forums out there already. I just wanted to see the collection of cool headsets/earbuds people use. Some here (like the international folks) have some cool ones that I haven't even heard before, which is really cool IMO.

For Bt earbuds, I have heard some good and bad things about them, mostly that they do break. I don't know or have an opinion either way, but that's what I had read in passing. But I can confirm that the Sony Ericsson MW600 is an awesome little device for $40 USD (on amazon). I say awesome because I had this since my Nexus One days and still going strong. And the bonus is that you can use pretty much any 3.5mm headset/earbud on this unit. :good:

[Nexus 7 Accessories] Mayonesa:
Well depending on the brand and how many drivers it has. For example. The pair i have now has 3 drivers, tuned more for drummers. Since thats what i need i got those.

$410 for those. If you get a custom cord like the one in the pic ,you can add 100 or so more to the cost. I was given my custom cord so i dont know the prices

But you can go fancy like i am and get a 16 driver (8 per ear) for $900

Im a drummer plus i produce music so "i need them"

But like i said. Lots of options and prices depending on what you want . You can go wrong though, they are molded to your ears and if done right you will get sound isolation so you block outside noise being able to enjoy what you are listening .

As far as companies go there are many options some more costly than others. I recommend alien ears

I avoid beats like I do the iPhone/ipad/macbook. I don't get why people who do their research and get android don't do the same for headphones. Right now I use the vmoda m80's with a siyah/wolfson s3. My vmoda m100's will be on their way very soon :D the bass I get with my combo is unparalleled while maintaining lush mids and smooth but noticable highs which no beats can ever match.

Bluetooth Over the ear

[Nexus 7 Accessories] Melarsa:
I got my Shure SE530s after the 535's had been announced for something close to 50% off. So, they were still ~$250, which is a decent chunk of change, but well worth it considering the MSRP. for the new ones was double at the time.

Then, right before my 2 year warranty expired, one of the earbuds began to cut out, so I sent them in and received a brand new pair of the SE535s anyway. I'm more than happy with my investment. There are probably better headphones out there, but for me that was the best bang for my buck.

The only bummer is that I think I preferred the 530's sound signature a little better. The bass was a little muddier, but more powerful, and for me it was perfect. The 535's has much clearer bass, but with the effect that it seems a little weaker to my ears.

Still the best earbuds I've ever had by a wide margin. I'd buy them again in a heartbeat.

Hello-

I am trying to figure out what is the cheapest GSM prepaid plan in the United States. So far, the cheapest I have found is either AT&T's $25 unlimited talk and text plus $5 for 50 MB data or T-mobile's $30 Monthly4g unimited talk text, adn 5gb data. What plan are you guys using to get the most amount of data for the least amount of money? I don't mind going with an MVNO because they have pretty good coverage in my area. (Albuquerque, NM)

Thanks,

wws12
[Networking] wws12:
Anyone?
[Networking] gagdude:
Theoretically speaking, if your main concern is data then you should probably choose an unlimited data plan to get the most out of your money. (Assuming you use that much data).

I can give some good suggestions if you could tell me your average calling, texting, and data usage. Also if you must have GSM, most prepaid just happen to be CDMA *shrugs*
[Networking] wws12:
It doesn't have to be GSM, but in my investigations those plans were the cheapest. I mainly want to use it for VoIP with GrooveIP for calls and GVoice for texting. Thnaks for your help!
[Networking] gagdude:
Let's see... Virgin Mobile has unlimited data and texting, 100 minutes calling for $35 a month. The T mobile plan you found is cheaper but 5GB of data. This depends on if you are going to use more than 5GB or not...
[Networking] wws12:
I want to use a phone such as the Motorola Defy as prepaid. I was going to get the Droid X but found that it couldn't be flashed to other carriers than Verizon.
[Networking] gagdude:
Are you sure you want the Motorola Defy... ? Republic Wireless has the Defy XT as their only available phone, but they have a different business model.

$20 a month unlimited everything, but depends on WiFi. However nothing is stopping you from sticking to their 3G (Sprint) full time. Big problem is that they are in beta and if you sign up now it could be months until you get the phone. (I'm sure once you are up and running it rocks, but the limited phone choice and waiting time is way too long).

Do you want a rugged phone or a Motorola phone or what? Why do you choose the Defy?
[Networking] wws12:
I chose the Defy because it had a stable ICS ROM and for the fact that it was GSM which I had thought was the best deal at the time. Thanks for the information about Republic Wireless
[Networking] gagdude:
So you have decided to go with Republic?

I was mainly wondering about why you wanted the Defy because it has pretty old hardware. If you still want to consider Virgin and want ICS they have the HTC EVO V, HTC One V, and soon to be released Samsung Galaxy Reverb.

(That t mobile plan you found is actually very good, 5GB is plenty of data. Virgin just has a better plan if you use more than that, which is quite rare in fact)
[Networking] wws12:
I want GSM because that will allow me to easily switch carriers at a later date if I need to. Are there any better phones than the Defy that are $150 or less on Amazon? Thanks for all your help, BTW!
[Networking] gagdude:
No problem glad to help :)

I understand that, in that case that t mobile prepaid plan definitely seems to be a good deal.

As for a phone, I don't go on Amazon since prices are usually higher, but I do know on eBay you can get a galaxy s (for 4g you need the Samsung galaxy s 4g but it has less dev support than the Samsung vibrant which only has 3g) for $150 or less. Any galaxy s variant blows the defy out of the water for sure
[Networking] wws12:
I usually don't shop eBay because of the possibility of scammers. I'll look at the galaxy s variants though. Which would you say has the best dev support? I need at least a stable ICS, if not JB. Thanks!
[Networking] gagdude:
All galaxy s were very popular and all have great dev support. Since you were looking at the defy I'm going to assume 4g isn't big on your requirements list and in that case the Samsung vibrant is the phone for you!

Most popular galaxy s from my general knowledge is the cappy aka Samsung Captivate. Unfortunately since it is at&t 3g it will only work on t-mobile 2g (ugh!)
[Networking] wws12:
How much is the Vibrant online?
[Networking] gagdude:
On amazon it appears to be $200+

On eBay they go as low as $120 and the Captivate gets even cheaper like $110.

What I like to think of eBay is the whole virus thing on Android. More scams/viruses happen on ebay/Android, but that is because there are more sellers/is more open. You just have to be smart and look at feedback/permissions. Does that seller/app have low feedback score/want to manage your sms and calls? Then don't trust him,her/it
[Networking] wws12:
OK thanks. Quick question that maybe you can answer. On at&t, their prepaid go phone plans include a 100 minute/unlimited text plan for $25/mo. For smartphones you need a data plan which they have in various denominations, but the one I'm interested in is the $5 for 50MB one. If I don't renew the $25 plan, will I lose the data also? Or will it still continue? Thanks!
[Networking] gagdude:
They require you to be using the $25 or $50 plan in addition to data every month.

They actually used to have a rule of having $25 in your account every 90 days with whatever data plan you feel like tacking on, but since April 2012 they require to have a monthly text / call plan.

+1 for the T-Mobile $30 plan. So long as your in an area that has coverage and don't mine using Skype of Groove IP to make up for the lack of talk minutes, this is probably the best pre-paid deal out there. It's a much better deal than any of the other T-Mobile pre-paid plans.
