I tested all plugs and there was marginal difference at best. The biggest issue was the pain the larger plugs caused my ears. I tried turning off the eq, adjusting it and lowering the pre-amp. Nothing made them sound as good as my other ones.

And why can't I judge these headphones the way I did? How is there any other way than to leave all settings the same and see how the different products handle it? An inferior product will not be able to handle the output as well as a superior product. No different than crappy speakers in a car not handling as well as superior made aftermarket ones, amped or not.

I'm sorry that it seems that I'm bashing these headphones, but they're "meh" at best. I'm not mad though as they were only 20 bucks and I wasn't expecting much.

Burn in is real, but to what degree you expect it to change is debatable. The driver ain't changing. And tips can make a huge difference; hard, soft, big or small ... all plays into a good seal and balance. They seem pretty good for the price, but I would keep realistic expectations. :o

Everyone stop bickering. Everyone is entitled to their own opinions.

My ears are different from everyone else's ears. Therefore while these sound good to me they can be crap to someone else.

You might like the taste of cheesecake while someone else doesn't, does that mean that they are stupid and have no idea how to eat? No. It means that they're opinion differs from yours.

Here are some examples of facts about these headphones,

And some examples of opinions

Now let's let this thread continue on as a place to discuss the headphones POLITELY and accept other's opinions as opinions and not fact.

I like them, George Bush may hate them, but I really don't care what anyone else thinks.

[Nexus 4 Accessories] richteralan:
Yes. The seal is the most important factor.

And no that's not the right way to do it.

Let me ask this question. If you bought a $1 bass-head earphone, without trebles at all, and you compensated in EQ settings to bring up the treble, and using that same EQ to "test" this Nexus 4 earphone, then found out all trebles are distorted. Do you arrive to the conclusion that the Nexus 4 earphone is worse than your $1 bass-head earphone?

You don't EQ for a specific earphone and judge other earphones by how they perform on that specific EQ. This is not the definition of "superior" or "inferior".

Each earphone has their own frequency response, as seen here in this review I posted earlier but seems everyone ignored it (or don't know how to read the graph):

http://en.goldenears.net/14317

Reset all EQs, then do the comparison.

---------- Post added at 09:47 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:44 AM ----------

I don't see any bickering here. At least compared to some Kernel Developers Threads.

Also, nobody is saying this earphone is excellent. Most of us are saying its excellent FOR ITS PRICE TAG. Big difference.

Moreover, let's not turn this into "My ignorance is as good as your knowledge" trite we seen often.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] gotzaDroid:
I don't know if you saw what I typed. I did try them with the eq off as well and still the same.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] richteralan:
I did read that part. Wasn't sure if you mean you tried the earphone with EQ off or compared the earphones with EQ off.

I originally was replying your post saying there's distortion when you EQ the bass up. That's why I said turn the EQ off and do the comparison.

But anyway, for $20, a set of earphone, plus a mic, plus a control button, is a good price.:good:
[Nexus 4 Accessories] kafeaulait:
I just hope this is a matter of miscommunication, but everything you say doesn't exactly mean what it should.

These earphones are not made nor tuned to sound good with EQ off. The suggestion was to compare them to your other earphones on even grounds (best EQ vs. best EQ, no EQ vs. no EQ) instead of an ostensibly fair setting that ends up favoring one over another.

Seeing how you did try different settings for the Nexus earphones, I have no problem with your inferences. But if richteralan had a problem with your (perceived) inconsistency, your response would be in its best light if you explicitly say: "I tested these earphones against my other earphones both with EQ off and they don't perform as well either."

I highly doubt that this is either what you did or meant to say you did, however.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] sn0warmy:
Figured I'd chime in here. In comparison with the headphones that came with my GF's Galaxy Nexus and my old Galaxy S3, these Nexus branded headphones are

slightly

better than the other two sets I've been using. The acoustics are a little clearer and the bass is a little more deep/crisp than the other 2 sets of headphones. Is it a night/day difference? No. Is the increased quality noticeable? Absolutely.

I use my headphones every single day on the train and the sound quality is huge. These Nexus headphones fit the bill perfectly for me.

I should also mention that these headphones have a more solid/snug fit in my ear than the other two sets of headphones I mentioned.

Just my $0.02.

wow you all do some really great work! I've been reading all the fixes for country ID etc.,... mucho respect to everyone for the research involved in getting the upgrades working.

I have an O2 XDA II uk. The SMS bug is really annoying me and since O2 haven't come out with a new rom yet, I'm tempted to try one of the others.

I guess there's tmobile 1.60? imate... and now a new qtek one as well?

What's the most recent/best rom to go for? Ideally I'd like to KEEP the gprs ALWAYS ON even when turned off/suspend... I believe the tmobile one changes this to disconnect *yuck*.

Any advice welcome.. ps. do we think we've learned enough so that I'll be able to apply an o2 official upgrade over the top of a qtek/tmobile etc? It looks like with the info on changing the ID of the files we have?
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] apap:

[Nexus S General] OnlySkills:
And when?

I apologize if I missed any.

For me, probably the S4..maybe by the end of the year.

EDIT: Probably will get the N4 soon.
[Nexus S General] pandaman21:
My contract ends next year in march so the next nexus phone probably or the galaxy note 3:cool:
[Nexus S General] MrMat:
I will dismiss my Nexus S with broken screen on Christmas.. probably Galaxy S4 with Snapdragon 600 (for a good price) but I have to look at Nexus 5 before I decide (LG?? Motorola?? specs??)
[Nexus S General] liborio99:
So... I can't buy a new phone like s4, butterfly or one... I need to buy in second hand from Android forums (Android PT).

BTW. I need something bigger and with a better resolution (540x960 min.).

So I looking for a galaxy nexus or something with a bigger camera... but galaxy nexus still my favorite.

PS: we don't have the nexus4 here in Portugal! So.... galaxy nexus ; )

I'm looking at the S4, possibly the S4 Mini (if it's announced). My contract is up in July so I have a bit of time. I would like to stay with a Nexus, so maybe I'll wait for the Nexus 5 announcement and hope that it's not boring.

[Nexus S General] forb'S:
I think I can not leave my NXS. I can not make a decission - the GN is a little bit too old, NX4 did not meet my liking. Another model or brand ist out of question - perhaps Note 2, but its too huge. :( So I must straddle time with roms

Me Gusta!
[Nexus S General] Cyrille28410:
Yes, Xiaomi can be a good choice as Opop; Google has made a demonstration that even a occidental constructor can sell very good smartphone at a chinese price too. How LG car make the same phone at a price 50% higher than Google !!!!

[Nexus S General] r_tarandus:
I'm on Sprint and we don't have the Nexus 4, so it'll probably be a Galaxy Nexus. I far prefer the back of the GN over the N4, though, because I prefer to run my phones caseless.

Also, what I'm finding is that since I mostly use my device for reading, something like the Nexus 7 would be the best for me. Then I'll keep a simple phone for when I'm out (like an iPhone 4S or even a feature/dumb phone). I imagine that a lot of people would have a similar setup in the future.

Later shall also make support for ThinkingBridge ROM for N4 ;)
[Nexus S General] beertown:
I just received the Galaxy Nexus, bought as develop device.

I don't know well the Nexus 4 though, but I still think the Nexus S is by far the best nexus phone made till now. I have to say that I don't play games so hardware specs are not so important.

My next device is going to be... a Nexus S :)

Hope for a Nexus S Second Edition.

Ciao
[Nexus S General] onmyouji:
Care to share what makes you think Nexus S is the best nexus phone? Even better than Galaxy Nexus?
[Nexus S General] beertown:
Yes, I can explain. First of all, this is matter of my personal point of view about smartphones.

There are various reasons:

it seems clear to me that Nexus S is better built than Galaxy Nexus. Smarter design of the back cover and greater overall precision assembly of the device. Maybe I got an unfortunate Galaxy Nexus unit, but the front panel (screen/touchscreen) isn't perfecly aligned to the device border all along its perimeter.

The screen: very surpringly, in spite of its lower resolution the Nexus S (I-9023 model) screen is really better than Galaxy Nexus'. GN screen gets a strong yellowish tone at low brightness and just scrolling a web page leaves a visible halo that makes the scrolling annoying. Also, I feel that Nexus S screen produces an overall sharper image. Once a read about some criticism to GN pentile screen... maybe it is this what they were talking about.

Device size: +0.7 inches of screen diagonal doesn't eventually add a real value to the device usability. Obviously this is related to personal preference, but I think a smartphone spend more time inside my pocket than in my hand, so a bigger device must add some value in exchange of being less comfortable while, most of the time, I'm not using it; +0.7 inches doesn't add enough usability.

Last, and not so important, good looking: Nexus S is awesome. period.

Just my opinion. Hope this could be useful.
[Nexus S General] DJBhardwaj:
I completely agree!

the first and ever long lasting nexus.

BTW, my N4 just arrived :highfive:

I know I end up paying like 100 more in long run for 16 gb n4 but paid 50 down and got a good wireless headset in the deal. I am gonna try and get the n5 from play store though when it comes out.

If I got the plan with phone upgrades it would be $150/mo or $1200 more per 2 year contract period.

Yesterday I pulled the trigger and am saying goodbye to Sprint. Although I get a 25% discount, sprint changed it to only apply to the first line, which coupled with other billing changes over the past few years, raised my bill $30 per month. The worst part of that is that Sprints service where I am sucks. I get a 19% discount with Verizon so yesterday I ordered 2 GS3s for my son and I. Everyone I know with Verizon loves it and with the way it works out, should only costs me about $5 more per month or so. Definitely loved this little phone.
