I am looking for Over-Ear headphone :

- Android ready.

- Ability to answer the call ( switch between the music and calls ).

- Active Noise Cancelation.

- Ability to use the cable for direct connection where is the Bluetooth is not available.

- Micro SD card slot .

- budget between ( 180$ to 250$ ).
[Nexus 5 Accessories] alose:
I have a pair of Bose active cancellation headphones. The sound always seems a bit muffled.

I also have an Incase Sonic Headphones. They are over the ear, and while just passive noise blocking, work about as well as the Bose. The cable on the Incase is detachable and has a mic built in and supports supports answering calls but the volume buttons do not work in with an Android phone.

Generally I use a pair of Marley ear-buds. I have two sets, one I keep at work that was clearanced and a Jamiaca for use at home.

Still can't put into words how gorgeous these are.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] theesotericone:
Just returned a pair of Sony XBA-2s. For 80 bucks on amazon they sounded absolutely amazing. The problem is they have a J cord. I didn't even know companies where still using those things. But for those of you that like the J cord setup the sound stage was incredible with zero break in. I'd have liked to hear them in a few weeks but such is life. Waiting on a pair of Beyerdynamic 101's to get here. If anyone has them and feels like chiming in I'd like to hear your thoughts. So for now it's back to the old reliable Sound Magic E-10s. Things could be worse. lol

these headphones are the xiaomi piston, you can found it between 12-20 €

i think that are very profitable, they have mic, music controls, and a very good quality.

if you want it be carefull because there are lots of fake xiaomi products.

off topic, i have bought the xiaomi power bank to , with 10.400mah and i have the same feeling! im very happy with it

pd:sorry, my english is not too good :(

http://www.beatsbydre.com/earphones/urbeats-se/beats-urbeats-se.html

I think the first ones from aliexpress are some kind a "cheap copy", but they're almost 50 euros cheaper than the original ones. Guys, i need your opinion to this. :rolleyes:
[Nexus 5 Accessories] ToZoX:
The ones from aliexpress are surely fake ones, i wouldn't waste money on that! You should buy an headphone that is cheaper and has better sound! Like the xiaomi piston, maybe?

Etymotic MC5

Ok i have been using these for a couple of days now!

pros:

lows and mids are crisp and clear

build quality of the ear unit is of metal

cons:

extremely uncomfortable as you need to pierce into ur ears and i feel it reached my ear drums :P different ear buds also didnt help to resolve (custom fit not avbl in India)

lacks punch and bass where it comes to highs.. turning up volume as no effect i.e it limits the volume to a certain extent.

no controls and the wire is just like ordinary wire which tangles and not a flat ones type or feel premium

verdict:

wearing these for prolonged time made me feel the music lacks the punch / bass but when i switched to my old earphones i couldn't bear the bass. Though i needed it ! as i got used to MC5 and all the bass and thump were starting to sound like noise or unnecessary boost.

May be i need to get adjusted to these headphones a bit more.

So is $60 worth spending ??

No as it is very uncomfortable for prolonged use.

Yes as the clarity in mids and lows are good.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] icy56:
What earphones are you talking about? If you're talking about the pistons then it's probably an ear tip issue you are facing because after I upgraded mine, that's when they really shined.

i agree that the audio is personal preference.

but the headphones are very uncomfortable to wear, when i try to get a full seal as instructed the ear irritates / hurts.

prolonged use is real hard, even i agree the clarity of audio is good.

PS: I gave my opinion and healthy discussion is appreciated.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] jRi0T68:
Have you tried foam tips, such as Comply? Etymotic is renowned for deep insertion (no jokes intended). If you like the sound, foam tips might fix the comfort, but if you're not comfortable wearing them, then they're not right for you.

[Nexus 5 Accessories] jRi0T68:
I had a co-worker trying to convince me that his Beats (Solo HD) were some of the best headphones out there.

Thanks to Innerfidelity, I quickly put this together. Beats on top, Shure SE215 (which is what I'm primarily using right now) on bottom. I think the frequency response is pretty clear of what I tried to explain to him.

Could you elaborate on the graphs and what they're showing please?

[Nexus 5 Accessories] kpjimmy:
Ha! My wife just dug out my SE 215s today because she wants to use them on a plane trip to NY today. She loves them! And she is very picky with in ears. But the form fitting buds are awesome, my only gripe is that I wear glasses and tend to get in the way when putting them on and off. But I guess if you are on a plane, one should be fine. My other gripe about the SE 215s is that the 3.5mm plug is too fat for it's own good lol. Other than that the SE 215s are a gem and keeper for me...if I want to keep the wifey happy anyways lol :p
[Nexus 5 Accessories] jRi0T68:
There's a lot to be learned about headphone graphs, and just like mastering martial arts, I'd always bow to one more knowledgeable than myself.

In short, flat curve is good, smoother curve is good. Read these two links for ultimate insight.

http://www.innerfidelity.com/content/headphone-measurement-proceedures-frequency-response

http://www.rha-audio.com/us/articles/understand-frequency-response-part-ii/

Which headphones are you using?

I guess I should add that yours do seem fairly flat, but there is much more to it than just this FR graph. The beats I posted, however, can be seen as doing an excellent job at deviating from any form of an ideal response.

ViperMod + volume boost sorts that out quite nicely.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] theesotericone:
His headphones have 98 ohms impedence. It's just asking to much of this phone to drive them properly. Software isn't the issue. Does anyone know the source output of the N5? I've looked but can't find a definitive answer.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] SomeGuyDude:
Ability to drive headphones is more than simply the impedance. I wasn't entirely sure what we were dealing with here.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] jRi0T68:
Regardless, you can't compare the DAC, amp, shielding, etc. in any mobile phone to something like a proper dedicated DAP.

Viper won't help. A Fiio E18, however, would.

[Nexus 5 Accessories] theesotericone:
I've owned two pairs of E-10s. They win awards because for the price their is no better headphone out there right now. The only issue with them is their customer service is non existent. The first pair lasted well over two years before it met an untimely demise from a very long fall off of a very large cliff. The second pair lasted almost nine months before the left bud started to fade in and out. I looked into having them warrantied and Sound Magics policy is to warranty them through the retailer they where bought from. Since I purchased them from Amazon I called them. Amazon credited my account for the price of the headphones. No questions asked. I decided to use that refund to upgrade to a more expensive pair. The Beyerdynamic DTX 101s. Having had them for almost a month now I can say they do sound better than the E-10s. Not much better though.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] :
Wow, thanks zolo185 and theesotericone for your input, truly appreciated :)
[Nexus 5 Accessories] jRi0T68:
Go with Soundmagic if you're looking for the better sq. If you need the mic functionality, then perhaps the second pair might be decent. I'd still go with Xaomi Pistons

2, though, at this price bracket.

The frequency range is pointless to discuss. Those Soundmagic list 15-22k hz, which is below and above the hearing range of people (20hz -20k hz).

Furthermore, it could never be indicative of the sound signature or quality.

http://www.aliexpress.com/item/In-S...-XIAOMI-MI2-MI2S-MI2A-Mi1S-M1/1334339516.html Black one which cost less than the gold one

E10 sound magic Rs2550 INR

so concluding all is there any diffrence between the black and gold color of Xiomi piston 2 or paying for e10 sound magic will be an ultimate buy

please give some input currently using sound magic es18 and skullcandy inkd2 so what i need is a far better experience from these headset
