Sony..

I have a pair of Sony MDR-NC7 headphones that I have beat the hell out of. I'm one to accidentally pull the cord quite aggressively and there is no retraction of the insulation and very minimal ware. I accually ended up sitting on them and snapping the headband so I decided to give melting the pastic with a touch a try and it worked and this happened about 2 or so years ago so I would definitely recommend this brand for reliability. :cool:
[General Accessories] Utshka:
DON'T buy that WESC-****! :D

I bought them for my sister for her birthday. after 6 months it broke....

But in my opinion the 50€-WESC had the same sound quality like the Beats Mixr, which is far more expensive.

[General Accessories] bayermunich:
I've always gone with Sennheiser earbuds for sound quality and respectable price. I believe the model I used to buy each time it was updated was something like the MX-40, 50, etc. Haven't bought them in awhile because the last pair bit the dust and I've been more of a disposable headphones consumer. What's the best bet on the market these days for disposability/cheapness/good sound quality?

Hmm cool stuff. Haven't paid attention to the earbud market in awhile so I'll be checking out Senn's new lineup and these Pistons you speak of. Sometimes I'll just buy myself some crappy SkullCandys when old Apple ones crap out.

Not trying to be XDA police, everybody deserves a chance to write and to share about the products they purchased or received for review or perhaps you want to promote occasionally. But if you want to contribute to this community, write actual reviews with pictures and personal experience instead of joining XDA for a few months and making 4 posts advertising your website. That's lame.
[General Accessories] Malhavoc Blackdrake:
I find it unresonable to spend a LOT of money in earphones. Only bigger headphones can really give value to your money.

As for earphone, to use with my mobile, all I feel I really need is a mic, a volume control, and a button to control the player (back/forward, play/pause)

That's normal. BOSE is just like Beats an overpirced brand. Here in switzerland we can get budget inears for 10-15 bucks wich sound better than most BOSE.

You should only buy BOSE or Beats if you want to show others how much money you have and don't care about quality.

Senheisser CX300 or CX380 for sport, these earphones have been phenomenal for me. Better on test that Shure's that cost twice as much.
[General Accessories] Spl4tt:
Probably someone is interested in cheap custom IEMs, CosmicEars has some nice products..

I guess it's nothing audiophile like heir audio, ultimate ears or unique melody, but they're cheap and nice for people who just want the perfect fit of customs (probably for sports, or just for style).

[General Accessories] Spectators:
Oh god. The mighty earphone debate, the question that has reduced the politest people to insults and shouting matches. The thing that makes every teenager snark at you as they walk along with their beats listening to rap and singing to rap like they just don't care. I'm not getting started in this, to be honest a nice pair of cheap earphones has suited me for years on end.
[General Accessories] jRi0T68:
That's a tough genre for your price point. I'd look into Hifiman RE-ZER0/Head-Direct RE-0, those can be had for around your price. If you're able to go up to $150, though, the whole world of clarity opens up.

Here is an overwhelming link for you.

http://www.head-fi.org/t/478568/mul...unu-dn-17-dn-18-updated-01-15-13#post_6492051

Tons of great information, and some items are now in a lower price bracket because times change. I'd look at ones at and just above your price range and shop for the best price on them.

Nothing wrong with healthy debate. I laugh at kids with Beats. They paid easily 4 times the price for inferior performance.

Some people are quite happy with cheap earphones. Nothing wrong with that. Phillips SH3590 is amazing for $15. However, some people, such as myself, have gladly spent $100 or more (some $1k or more even) and can easily spot and relish in the superior sound quality.

I'll say this again, though, musical preference is the 2nd most important factor in choosing earphones, right behind price range. What I recommended above for Cress would be horrible for my preferences, whereas my Shure SE215's wouldn't do justice for the clarity he desires.

[General Accessories] jRi0T68:
Good for what genre? At what price point? How are the highs? Does the bass bleed into the midrange?

You can't just say it's good, that's entirely subjective. What's good for the goose might not be good for the gander.
[General Accessories] Miki Bakaiki:
Hi guys !

I'm new in this forum, and saw this thread and since i am looking for headphones ...

What headphones (ipod-like) would you recommend ? Price range from 0€ (wouldn't that be awesome ?!:p) to 20€, more or less...

I listen to a lot of metalcore, deathcore, hardcore, pop punk, dubstep sometimes ... I probably will run with them too, and they will be used every single day, for quite some time ....

Thanks guys, and if someone asked around a similar question, i'm sorry. (got a little "scared" of the "noob video" lool)

Cheers,

Miki
[General Accessories] jRi0T68:
One of the best reviewed iems in that range is the Phillips SHE3580/SHE3590. I've never heard them myself, but have seen fantastic reviews of them. It's cheap enough to be worth a shot.

If you can spend a little more, something like the Sony MH1C should be a good match.
[General Accessories] CressKH:
Hey thanks for your recommendation.

Am reading that long list of IEMs now :)

Do you have a recommendation for clarity if my budget goes up to $100?

What do you think of Beyerdynamic vs Shure for that price range?

Thanks again.
[General Accessories] jRi0T68:
The Shure SE215 is largely a midcentric earphone with a good amount of bass volume, but the highs are a bit rolled off. I don't think they'd be suited to your genres. It makes my head shake with mine, though, in the good way.

This is about the best deal I've seen that sounds suitable to your genres.

http://www.audioadvisor.com/prodinfo.asp?number=HMRE262

It likes to be amped for optimal performance, though.

Here's a brilliant review on them.

[General Accessories] Miki Bakaiki:
Well, i would spend a little more, if i could... Also, i always come to the conclusion that my relationship with phones always comes to an end pretty soon :P so, inspite of being a music addict, i have to go for cheaper ones ...

By any chances, do you of any more phones related to those phillips you said ? Like from sony or sennheiser ?

What do you think about this ones, in terms of quality/soun quality and price :

Philips SHE3590 (15,5€)

Sony MDREX-50L (20€)

Sony MDREX-10LP (11€)

Any other good brands that may have this kinda phones with "same" quality ?

Thanks :)
[General Accessories] jRi0T68:
I think the MH1C can be had for under $40. I'm not totally up on all earphones that offer that kind of bang for the buck.

www.head-fi.org is THE place to start learning, though. Mostly, I know what I've read dozens of reviews on, lol.

[General Accessories] jRi0T68:
Bass on the s4 bleeds into the mids some, and highs are rolled off a bit. I'd say they're a good buy for bassheads, but I wouldn't pay more then $60 for them.

[General Accessories] ShishkaBerry:
Everyone else seems to hate them but I like Skullcandy. I have TIs, Titans, and Smokin Buds. They last 1-2 years before the wires break then you just go cash in on the warranty and get a new pair. Ive done it 3 or 4 times now over the past 6 years.
[General Accessories] userXDevX:
Bought a set of Sennheiser Cans in 2006 and they're still going strong, and the quality is still really good..except for one thing...sometimes when theyre plugged into the computer they pick up german or spanish radio somehow when nothing is playing, I cant understand it, since I'm in ireland! :eek: apart from that, great!
[General Accessories] Spl4tt:
Everytime i see this thread name "Best earpones" it hurts me to see ppl talking about 10-20bucks buds here :/

Why do ppl even ask wich one of the 10$ earbuds are the better ones?

most of us got 500$ phones, so we should be able to buy both to try..

But seriously, you know that, both will sound crappy
[General Accessories] jRi0T68:
It's because of how much people value sq. You and I, and some others here care about it. Others don't, and just want cheap. There are many good and cheap recommendations. Others care more about how they look than how they sound. That makes part of me sad, because I know what they're missing.

Btw, what IEMs/headphones do you use?

I mostly use my SE215's now. I've got B&W P5's which have basically become my wife's. My son uses my Klipsch S4i.

I'd like to justify IE80's plus the IE8i cable for them, but I just can't.

I've been considering writing up a headphone/earphone buying guide because so few here understand the questions to ask when shopping for them. It would make a good sticky

I'm using the Heir 8.A customs with a whiplash TWag v2 cable. Freaking amazing stuff^.^

I ordered the new TWag v2 Gold cable last week, can't wait to try that one out x)

Used to use some UE TF10 with nullaudios lune cable, wich was also extremely nice, though, the cable broke after two years >.<

And I ordered a SF5 driver upgrade and reshell from UM for my girlfriend. Can't stand seeing her walking around with cheap earbuds >.< she needs a good fit for sports.. customs ftw :good:

A friend of mine has the SE215 too. They sound amazing for the price, never expected that. He got them for around 80$ in a daily deal :o

I never heard the IE80 though, but they look nice

Good job equiping your family x)

I think a buying guide would be an amazing idea. Didn't see anything like that on XDA, I think it would help, though, we could also just post headfi links as you already did
[General Accessories] jRi0T68:
I paid $25 direct from B&W for my P5's, lol (I ran a warehouse and that were my customer, along with Meridian, Tannoy, KEF, etc.). I'd have much nicer gear if it weren't for my wife's medical bills, so I've got to hobby on a budget. Bang for the buck is a tough call, sometimes harder than top tier.

Someday, I'll order Merlins. Reviews sound perfect for my preferences.

Indeed. I love my SE215's, but I know sound could get better. I think Sennheiser IE80 is next, if I can ever manage. But then, I look at all the other wonderful IEMs out there. Heir 3.Ai, Westone 3, new and intriguing offerings from JVC and AT, used customs, plus a re-shell... it's an addiction.

Skull candy=generic....

I recently sat next to a skull candy higher up. ( i won't specify where) They started out with higher quality head phones and then went onto capture more market with cheaper ok sets. He was telling me about the details of how they are starting to swing back to making all there own designs and improve quality. So right now i would stay away from skull candy.

I read a great article on this set and gave them a try. They have Rocked so far. If anyone else has used them give me your input.

I put them up agenst my JVC $60 pair and the 30 set did much better. the bass was much better and the mid and high where very clear.

They are the NuForce set. I wanted to try the more expensive pair but this $30 NE600M have been more than great. They have the flat cable, and mic in left ear so you can use them as head set with phone. I have not used the mic. if it's anything like the buds i am sure it works great. They came in a hard shell so damage in delivery would be hard to have happen.

They have them on there site or you can go here where i got them.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007POCCBY/ref=oh_details_o03_s00_i00

I go through lots of buds so if anyone else knows of a better pair for $30 i would love to know.

Thanks

P.s. seal in ears very well. i can't hear the other people around me. YAY

Nuforce is a california company that makes other high quality stuff and tried there hand at head phones. I give 5 stars.

I assume you're trolling?

Please do share your experience on the sonic qualities of Beats (and which model) vs. Sennheiser HD-25 II, Sennheiser HD800, Grado RS1, JH Audio JH16, Unique Melody Merlin, Unique Melody Miracle, Heir Audio 8.A, or even Shure SE315. How does the bass compare? I take it you prefer slow, muddy bass that bloats over the mids, and detailless highs?

Beats does precisely ONE thing better than most other companies. It's not bass, mids, highs, any area of sound quality, build quality, comfort, isolation, instrument separation, etc. It's hype. That's all Beats has, that's all they are.

The Sony MDR-XB500, outperforms beats, doesn't require batteries. And costs about 40£.

I'd reccomend them alot for Electro music and rap, the Bass is to die for on these.

The Beats on the other hand, un-environmental, very expensive, costs overtime too. (batteries). Very plasticy feel and pretty much just average sound quality.

These are the most priceworthy headphones in my opinion.

I always say get what you like. I am a former producer/engineer. My ear may be more trained than others. I can't get a set I like, buds or otherwise, for less than $100 US. Style of music makes a difference also. But if you like a $79 dollar pair if Klipsch Buds, which are not too bad, and think they sound as nice as a $200 dollar pair then why buy the big set. I like Base Noise Canceling sets for serious jazz and classical. The Sony MDR V series has always been my go to road sets.
