Not sure if Bluetooth Headsets count on this thread, but I use the LG Tone Bluetooth Stereo Headset. Best investment I've made to listen to music or to talk on the phone. I never plug in headphones. The only thing I plug into the phone's jack is the 3.5mm male to male cable in my car's auxiliary port.

Generally, I use a set of Apple Earpods (I know,please don't flame me),but I'm getting an ATH-M50x soon. Can anybody who uses them with their N5 share their opinion/experience with these headphones?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Random Select:
I have the ATH-M50 and the connector is too big for my Nexus 5 with a Diztronic case on it. I have to remove the case from my Nexus 5 in order to use the M50s. The connector on the M50x is slightly smaller, so you may have better luck with case compatibility.

The ATH-M50 and ATH-M50x are a nice entry-level headphone. The one thing I don't like about the M50/M50x is the earpads. They're too rough and uncomfortable. My ears start to heat up and get sweaty after about an hour of use. It maybe different for you though but recommend purchasing some Velour earpads to replace the OEM ones.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] :
Apparently the OEM earpads are better on the M50x,I'm keeping my fingers crossed.This is my first significant headphone purchase :D

Use Apple Earpods as they are incredibly comfortable and produce great sound (good enough for me anyways). =P
[Nexus 5 Accessories] xenuprime:
I have had the hbs-900, Tone Infinim for 1 week now. Before these, I had the hbs-700 for at least 2 years. I am using a Samsung Note 3.

Sound: good clear sound and decent bass. If the bass or sound in general is not good for you, try different tips (it comes with 3 sizes). The volume is nice and loud too.

Blue tooth range: everyone knows the 700's have the best range, and the Infinims are not too bad compared to those.

Form factor: these are rigid as opposed to the previous Tone models that were all flexible. I thought this would be an issue, but within the first day I got used to it.

Build: for the price, I expected a little bit nicer build, but it is pretty tight and doesn't feel flimsy.

Retractable ear buds: this is the part I have had a problem with. The 2nd day I had these, the left side retraction mechanism began sticking. The retraction button was hard to push and it had a click unlike the right side which was smooth. Since then, the problem seems to have stopped, but that side is slightly weaker than the other when retracting.

Wires: these wires are so thin, I'm worried they will snap (or more likely, a connection point) within a couple of months. Maybe if LG put out something letting us know they tested the tensile strength and used special connections to make sure this doesn't happen, but we have no such assurances.

Overall: I like these a lot, but the sticky retraction button and thin wires make me too nervous to keep them beyond the return policy date. If you can live with these 2 things, I recommend these. I'm taking them back and going with a pair of hbs-750 pros. I will miss the wires being out of the way, but the wires are sturdy, the sound is pretty comparable (the pros actually seem to have deeper bass).
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Z3US911:
actually i would never buy headphones made by LG,i am interested in HBS 900 just coz Harman Kardon played a part in it.:D

Dunu Detonator. No EQ needed.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] prove:
I'm using the new Dual Driver from Degauss Labs, they sound really good and has three button control which works perfect with their app. Two speakers in each ear so they'll give you loads of base without compromising the rest of the range. However, high frequencies needs a bit of tweaking in the EQ, at least for my liking. The only downside in my opinion is that the cord is covered in rubber which will stick to your shirt and cause quite an annoyance at the gym if you don't use the clamp.

+1 to Apple Earpods - nothing fits like it in my ear with excellent sound (IMO). Yes, the volume keys don't work, which is just fine.

Plus if I insert them holding the middle button, the mic works great. Iffy otherwise.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] AwesomeTurtle:
Now rocking some Westone UM3Xs, because $400 smartphones are just plain ideal for $400 IEMs!

The output in this particular device is very nice, though. Using Neutron Music Player for that natural layer of warmth until my dedicated audio player arrives.

I have a really hard time finding earbuds, the ones with the rubbery ends don't ever stay in my ears.

These are awesome, have a mic, and the play/pause/multifunctional button work!

I love them, they sell them at amazon.

Oh and if the included attachments don't fit your ear, you just take a side picture of your ear, and they will send you a custom set FOR FREE,

If you don't care about mic on ur headphones, i'll recommend cx200 one (it's cheaper than cx275s and it has the same audio quality).

Also i'm using Poweramp as my default music app. I don't like the equlizer of Google Play Music...

Depends on your definition of cheap, but for $36 USD, I HIGHLY recommend the Yuin PK3. Trust me when I say this, they are hands down the best sounding buds at that price. I have thousands of dollars worth of headphones, all mid to high end stuff, and while I've since upgraded to the PK2s, I was immediately impressed with the PK3s and used them for quite a while before I upgraded. If $36 is in your price range, you absolutely cannot go wrong with them. I also recommend putting some Yurbuds silicone sleeves on them, as they increase the comfort a thousandfold and give a little more oomph to the lower end.

Any complaints on Amazon about the durability has since been addressed by Yuin. Mine take an absolute beating and have been going strong for 3+ years.

At school or when I'm running I use a pair of Shure SE 215's. Good pair of earphones for USD $100. Good trebles, decent bass, ok mids. Sound like $200-$300 earphones. Replaceable cable and earbud pieces so you don't have to buy a whole new pair if the cord gets damaged or if one of the earphones stops working.

At home I use an Audioengine D1 DAQ + Grado SR225i Prestige Series headphones (nearly a $400 setup). Great sound, clear and crisp.

The Nexus 5's DSP is not the best so you may have great earphones/headphones and not get the same clarity and musical reproductions you would elsewhere with the same equipment.

Just my $0.02. YMMV.

For audio at work, I've actually been amazed by the MEElectronics M-Duo. Holy crap, the side-by-side with my other earbuds was a slaughter.
