Ok Thanks for the recommendations. My friend needs new case. And for me all these cases are the same. But i knew u would know what works best. After i gave her "just put it in a mini bullet proof brief case and hand cuff it" she looks at me mad. Lol

On ear vs over ear? I prefer those for when im home on my laptop or ps4. For when i go out i prefer in ear. Since there lighter. And i dont look like those dbags with Beats walking around. Lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ShapesBlue:
The ones I'm looking for are specifically for home use. I have a pair of in ear headphones that work just fine. I'm just looking for over the ear headphones and not beats ones

Sent from my Nexus 5
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] twistedillutions:
But Beats=SWAG square.. Lol.. I have on ear monster Ntunes there good. But ur getting lil more pressure compared to over ear. I prefer over ear cuz they were more comfortable. On ear are also comfortable depending on brand. Has more cushion. After a while ur ears are warm. So on ear vs over ear. I prefer over ear. Covers my entire ear

Not bad, price isn't bad either. I'll have to look more into them later today when I get home from work and get some sleep. My dream pair is bose. I went to the bose store over the weekend and the ones I want are nearly $400

Screw it, after looking around I didn't see anyone else who had these cheaper. That's a steal, I picked em up! Thanks man!

Sent from my Nexus 5
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] twistedillutions:
$400 for Bose ..thats ridiculous expensive. ive always found Bose to be over price . same with Monster and Beats(which was originally made by Monster) . is like buying HDMI cables. if you to the store u find the cheapest for $20 for about 3-5 feet. and online u can pay $1 for same length or lil longer and same quality.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ShapesBlue:
While I agree about the hdmi cables and it is true the brand doesn't matter, and don't let anyone tell you that gold plated is better because it's pure BS. As far as bose I wouldn't buy the headphones for that much, however sound wise no one is better than bose is, plain and simple

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] twistedillutions:

Yup, Hdmi is digital feed, cable quality doesn't matter. Same goes for digital audio and fiber optic cables. Cable quality does matter for analog signals such as component cables and rca cables.

However, Bose reminds me of Apple, Good marketing but not nearly worth the price premium. I guarantee there's some audiophile company somewhere out there that runs circles around Bose.

My friends the other day were talking about upgrading to an iPhone because the battery was "bigger and better". Out of all things to switch to an iPhone for, the last thing should be the battery life. My friend literally told me, "I'm upgrading to an iPhone because everyone I know who has one has no battery issues". Even though my battery is twice as big as an iPhone 6, he wouldn't believe any of it. I even showed him my battery stats, 16 hours on battery with 68% remaining, and he still thinks the iPhone 6 is better than that. He'll be in for a big surprise if he gets it. He's convinced ios has better battery optimization than android for some reason, but his issue is probably signal in his house. He'll be pissed when it dies at the exact same time his S4 does.

I could just as easily see my friend saying, "Bose speakers are the best quality, everyone I know who has them say they have the clearest sound." It's all advertising and making the consumer believe they are the best.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] twistedillutions:
HDMI brand/quality will matter if the cable length is longer then 50ft (correct me if im wrong) [MENTION=4635005]ShapesBlue[/MENTION].. Yes im young but this young man can use google lol [MENTION=5181150]BadUsername[/MENTION].. U should of starred at your friend then just walk away. Something I would of done.

As for Bose.. Price does not match quality. Not saying its a bad brand . But there are other brands that have same quality or better at a much lower price.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] BadUsername:
I couldn't walk away because he drove to the coffee shop we were at. The thought did cross my mind. It's hard to make a convincing argument if you have 2 people against you with the same thought process. It doesn't matter if you're right, they both give validity to each other's comments even if it doesn't make sense.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] twistedillutions:
That has happened to me. Then I just always end it with "NO WONDER I ALWAYS TALK TO MYSELF THERES NO ONE ELSE I CAN HAVE INTELLECTUAL CONVERSATIONS WITH" .. usually shuts them up or change the subject. Lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
Depending on the phone, iPhone has had the best battery life or top three (including Android) every year since its debut in 07. I know there's been a dip in battery for the S versions, like when they first moved to dual core for example. "Bigger battery" capacity definitely hasn't been the case on iPhone though, ever. Idk why they have that misperception.

Edit: For clarity purpose, this is knowledge I have gained from Anandtech. One of the best tech review sites when it comes to analytical reviews on new phone releases.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ShapesBlue:
Interesting, so the only thing apple has on Android is better battery life. Hmm I think I'll take everything else but better battery life

Sent from my Nexus 5
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
Well that and updates available for everyone on day one lol I've always been envious of that. I use both OSes cuz I like technology. The usefulness of various features is naturally subjective. I say, whatever helps you get the most enjoyment from life is probably best for you. Certain aspects of these phones are concrete and others are subjective, like the usefulness of this or that feature. In large part, Android phones haven't been well regarded for battery life until Snapdragon 800 series. Now that we're here, just keep improving on that.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] BadUsername:
I agree completely.

Except there's no way the iPhone 6 has better battery life than any newer generation top tier phones. Any time you stress the phone and compare it to newer generation Android phones it always loses. The iPhone 6 plus is a different story, that thing is amazing when it comes to battery life. My friend at work used it for 6 hours on screen time reading a comic book and it was at 40%. That to me is pretty amazing.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ShapesBlue:
I'd have to agree. But the closed source of Apple is what draws me away from it. I enjoy android and I've been on Android since gingerbread and have recently been running lollipop on my Nexus 5, so far so good

Sent from my Nexus 5
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] twistedillutions:
Single core vs Duo core. Will also have an effect on battery life. New gen fones is all about multi tasking which drains battery.. Thats wen i can tell the G3 falls short from HTC on battery life. Do to the screen being a power house.

Side note.. I purchased brainwavz S1 and Vsonic R02..$90 for both on amazon

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] BadUsername:
It's a significant improvement, I remember how happy I was getting 2 extra hours of screen time. Now it still doesn't feel like it's good enough, but I regularly get 5-6 hours of screen on time in a 20 hour period. That's a completely stock rom and kernel.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] twistedillutions:
A lot of Radioshack stores are closing i went to the one in town it was closed. They still had stuff inside maybe I'll go back Friday. I saw they had a sign for 20% off headphones. Which is not a big discount since there stuff is way over price.

Just catching up on some items in the topic. . .

I am pretty loyal to Sennheiser and have a portable pair + a more serious audio mixing pair. Got both of them for less than a single pair of Base might go for new, it seems.

My spouse's S5 gets ridiculously good battery life compared to her S3, and it's a fair comparison because we've configured both phones similarly and her usage of apps, photos, sharing, etc. are generally unchanged. If anything she runs more on the S5 from a multitasking standpoint. She was feeling underwhelmed when receiving it and thinking, "yeah, another phone" but has actually gone out of her way to remark on how nice it is to no longer worry about something like battery life.

I also haven't watched boxing in a long time, as decisions were looking too rigged and taking away any enjoyment I could get from watching two people knock each other senseless.

- ooofest
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ShapesBlue:
While the headphones for bose may not be the best there products at least in my opinion are the best sound quality there is out there. And yes I've used nearly all of competition. Well the S5 has a faster processor and it can handle things a lot better than an S3 can so that makes sense.

My fiancée has a S5 and I had an S3 so I would completely agree that the S3 can't hold a torch to the S5, I've since retired my S3 but use it daily for games and what not as I don't have any games on my N5

I will probably never get rid of my S3 but I do miss it being my daily phone

Sent from my Nexus 5
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ooofest:
My HD-650 cans have the most natural, full range of sound I can expect with my system, but they aren't ideal for being driven by a portable phone, etc. That's why I have original PX100s (light, foldable, over the ear) and some re-shelled Westone UM2 inner ear monitors by Inearz.

Bose phones tend to push mids at the expense of clarity and range for lows and highs to me, but many of their models are made for portable listening with noise-cancelling, which is their strength compared to other brands, I feel. To each their own preferences, as this is a topic where people can easily take sides (like with our phones!) and I've been an interested member of head-fi.org for years, which can give you a sense of where I come from :) .

Our kids have the two S3s as daily phone and game platform, respectively. It's still a solid device and there 's been no complaints about not having an iSomething :)
