Go with what sounds good to you. All mentioned headphones here are fine but to each their own. All depends on taste and music genre preference. Beats work best for me ( hip hop and electronic produced music mainly ). My rock loving friends love their Bose.

Go to a store with your nexus and try it out.

Don't buy headphones online.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] krash183:
Don't buy beats or bose they are utter ****e. Better options that are much less... But if you want to look like a rapper or prof. athlete... Then yeah go for those brands.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] phillip1953:
That's like compairing a Datsun 510 vs. a 240Z. The only thing those 580's do, in comparison, is make sound. :)

Kidding aside...they are a very nice set of dynamic headphones...just not in the same ballpark as a pair of old Stax.

Sorta like how the old HK Citation gear is better than the current lineup of Harman stuff. :)

HEY I the Datsun 510 was my first car!!! I loved that heap! I could take the key out and the car would still run LOL. All I needed to do was add a quart of oil each month to keep it happy and it was a mini tank!! :p My uncle had the 240z as well. Both old and new ones. Nice smooth ride :laugh::laugh:

Anyways, I have my V-moda M100's as my fav cans of the year so far and love the clear soundstage. I know, the cans cost more than the friggin tablet lol, but the cans will outlast my tablets by 4 fold.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] ktkr:
The 3.5mm output of most Android is just meh IMO, luckily with Nexus 7 you can choose a USB DAC for MUCH better sound quality. Also you can install some audio enhancers like Beats and so on, I use the combination of Awesome Beats and Viper4Android and worked well expect for some noise generated by playback gain.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] ewichern:
Audio output quality of the device aside, I love my Koss KSC75's for cheapo headphones. IEMs always bug me due to earwax buildup, but that may be a personal issue...
[Nexus 7 Accessories] ynrozturk:
Haha yes, I clean my ears pretty well every time I take a shower for that exact same reason. I have very minimal earwax with my Shure's, it's all about keeping those ears clean.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] ngc604:
Monoprice 108320 with Comply T-400 red tips and FiiO E5 when i'm running around with a possibility of snagging them on something. When you can find them for $8 its hard to beat them. $12 is an ok price also. Better then the other $15-$20 earbuds. I keep a pair in my right cargo pocket and two in my bag since i tend snag cords often. I also keep a spare E5 in my bag. E5 make a little difference but nothing major. They are just so small and light its nothing major to carry around.

Shure 215-k and FiiO E11 when i am home and not moving much or on an airplane. The 215'd don't get a lot of use but i still love them, since when i am at home i tend to use my Shure SRH440 through my mixer attached to my computer. Tons of love for shure. The E11 is mainly for the extra power to drive two headphones since my wife will usually be listening in.

Though i am not sure why i think it is a popular thing these days to talk trash on bose. No highs, no lows. Must be bose. I do not see why. I have put bose speakers in my last two cars and they are awesome. I have two sets of bose 201 IV, a wave radio(in the kitchen) and the bluetooth sound link(for patio and pool) and i always get compliments on the quality of sound my speakers are putting out. And the 901 are still one of the best sets of speakers i have even heard next to B&O and high end B&W. I know these aren't mobile speakers but even their headphones and earbuds are nice in my opinion. I guess since their headsets do not produce skull cracking bass they suck to some people. If thats the case then the monoprice will suck to them.

It depends on your style of music and how much you are willing to spend.

N7 is not the best audio source, so you will have to get a external amp. Some amps come under 100$. I am currently using Audio-Technica ATH M50 since more than a year, and they are great headphones, they don't need so much power to run to full potential. So I use them directly without any amp. If you enjoy EDM or even rock, you can get the Sennheiser HD 25-1 II and a Fiio amp, which is a great audiophile starter setup.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] Ultra_HR:
Like a few others have said, the Nexus 7 is not a great audio source at all. Any pair of half-decent headphones are probably gonna be the best you'll get out of it, and I wouldn't recommend buying a pair of headphones specifically for it.

[Nexus 7 Accessories] SMH_Nexus:
JVC Xtreme Xplosive HA-FX1X

These headphones are awsome and only £12/$19 on Amazon.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] oleg77:
The best sound you can get from the Nexus with headphones ? Don't use the headphone jack, but an external USB DAC + headphone amp + good cans (Sennheiser HD-25 for example if you need sound isolation for public transportation).

With an external DAC and good amp, you are really in aother league for audio quality. It even doesn't needs to be expensive : you can find a cheap DAC (around USD 50 shipped, like this one) good enough for a mobile source, and even something like a (quality) Cmoy headphone amp (like JDSLabs models) or a Fiio E11 + DAC combo is something you have to hear with good headphones.

Hello, since im new here i cant post in the thread thats related to my problem so i have to ask here!

Few minutes ago i went from stock to [ROM] [12FEB] [AOKP] IceColdJelly421 - 2.0 - JellyBean 4.2.1_r1.2, because i needed to upgrade my hboot. This all went great with the guides here on the forum, my thnx for that!

When i was on the stock rom, i noticed that i had more wifi range on my bedroom, which is on the top of my home, then i am now with the custom rom?

What could be the problem of this? Do i need to upgrade the radio or something?

Hey there, I just got my O4X last week as a gift.

I've rooted, installed some tweaks here and there and now I want to ask if somebody knows how to change the wallpaper for the ported LGOG lockscreen (White Hole effect) in the Themes and Apps section. Currently, when in lockscreen it shows the current wallpaper, but when I tap on anywhere, the screen turns black with the white hole revealing what's underneath. I also have the LGOG so I noticed the difference quickly.

Searched the whole device for the lockscreen APK to no avail hoping to find something to solve my dilemma. LOL

I also checked in ../res/drawable-xhdpi of the attached APK but can't find anything referring to the White Hole effect. :confused:

Starhub Firmware

Hello everyone,

I'm kind of new in this section of the forums considering LG optimus 4HD as im a new owner...

Thing is I got the phone from Singapoore while on a business trip and im stuck with Starhub ROM firmware..

I live in Europe, and I cant get 100 % of my phone so its kind of disappointing,Im thinking of flashing a new stock EU ROM I've seen somewhere around here.

I'd like to ask what consequences that might have, (if any at all) Will I brick my phone?WIll the phone work with my carrier here in EU?Will I then get 100 % of my Optimus?

Thanks in advance for reading, awaiting anxiously your reply.

-Mike
[LG Optimus 4X HD] laufersteppenwolf:
of course you can change your firmware by flashing a kdz.

the only "problem" you might notice is thay you may not recieve OTA updates due to the fact that your IMEI does not accord to your (EU) firmware. but i can't think of any other consequences you might notice.

oh, and no, you won't brick your phone ;)

Possible situation

Hello again,

I think i might have a possible situation as things look a bit ugly...

I tried the method of flashing via KDS updater the new stock V10H for P880 i followed everything correctly...But the updated seems to be stuck and the phone wont restart as it is supposed to do....

Updater log reads 02:26:32 : 3GQCT: wParam = 2010. IParam = 204

This is the last log it did...I still havent disconnected the phone..I dont want to brick it..(Though i think its not avoidable...)

Hi all,

What is the newest official ICS firmware that can still be rooted easily (100% success rate)? v10h or lower? I'm currently downloading v10h europe open, is there any better version?

Also, what android version does v10h give? 4.0.4 or higher, or still 4.0.3?
[LG Optimus 4X HD] laufersteppenwolf:
is your recovery image really placed in the root of your internal sdcard?

v10h is the newest ICS version and yes, it is rootable. like all v10's it is 4.0.3, cause for some reason LG didn't update to 4.0.4.

BTW, 4.0.4 is the latest ICS version, there is nothing above that ;)

1st and main reason, all needed files are there, including FW in .dz format and right .dll for the different versions, latest drivers, etc...

2nd, in my OS (Win7 Pro x64) everything works perfect... Its just a way to jump the port settings in device manager, the rest nothing changes.

The method in OP is still there :) , I even use to advice people to follow it in case of any issues with mine (mine is the same, just don't need to change the port settings...).

Now, people are free to use one or the other method. I'm not giving any wrong or tricky information, just tried to make it simple as possible.

[LG Optimus 4X HD] laufersteppenwolf:
only v20x bootloaders can be unlocked.

for registering your device, you need to have the right firmware installed (the one that matches your country ;) )

it's simply tha stock kernel, but "unsecured". meaning: adb is now always allowed to run as root.

IMO, if you're not a dev, you don't need it ;) but if you want it, it doesn't harm you :p

this "feature" is not implemented yet AFAIK. but you don't need it ;)

yes, you can, but not completely (e.g. during boot)
