[Nexus 5 Accessories] 3DSammy:
After suffering with three different moderately priced earplugs (all <$60), last weekend I bought a pair of Bose OE2 headphones. Instead of just shopping on-line, reading user and professional reviews I went to a downtown audio store (Toronto - Bay Bloor Radio) for a listen/compare test.

Using my Nexus 5, I spent well over 1.5 hours listening to FLAC only music files with no equalizer colouring the sound. Music genres included Blues, Rock guitar and New Age instrumental tracks. The various headphones were all over-the-ear style and ranged in price from $100-$190 CDN.

In the end it came down to the Bose OE2's ($129) and Sennheiser Momentum's ($190). The Sennheiser Momentum's had better sound but were no where near as portable as the Bose OE2's and that tipped the balance even more than the $70 price difference. Also in the relatively short period that I wore the Sennheiser Momentum's they seemed to make me ears sensitive while the Bose OE2 felt very soft. Extended listening while playing videos on my Nexus 10 is a major concern.

After purchasing the Bose OE2's in the store I rode public transport and was pleasantly surprised by the level of passive noise reduction they provided. Which was well above the various earbuds I'd been using. My in-store purchase was done in appreciation for the ability to perform a lengthy listening in-store comparison. I fully expecting to pay a premium for that privilege versus an on-line purchase. Much to my surprise Amazon.ca price was $20 more ($149 CND) and I could not find any on-line store (Canadian) that matched the in-store price.

The one drawback with the Bose OE2's was that I wanted mike and volume controls that worked with Android. Bose does not sell Android compatible accessories like that. I read a forum compliant that Bose seems to only think iOS devices use headsets. There are third party android compatible accessories but they do not mention the the OE2s so I'm not taking the chance.

I'm a big fan of rooting my devices and installing Viper4Android on my Nexus 5 & 10. This audio enhancement is typically used to boost gain (volume) and to color the sound through many, many options. What really surprised me with the Bose OE2's was that I simply didn't need Viper4Android for Headset gain or to color the audio. I disabled it for the Headset listening but it is still essential for the device's speaker. In fact what made me such a huge fan of Viper4Android is its amazing impact on the Nexus 10 front facing speakers.

As an old (retired) audiophile it is very nice not needing to color the audio anymore, at least for headset listening.

I have a Audio Technica CK500M with a Sony MW600 bluetooth receiver.

The audio is superb but the main reason is the cord of it, really like "j" cord.

TRACKS AIR by Sol Republic x Motorola

TRACKS AIR by Sol Republic x Motorola - $199

Things I love about it:

- Wireless via bluetooth

- One-tap NFC pairing

- Bass hits hard (even without the help of DSP manager)

- Comfortable and adjustable

- Battery life is great - I use them at work all day and on my commute back home. It lasts for about two days for me on a full charge.

- Nearly silent to people nearby, even when it's on full blast for me

Dislike:

- Expensive, but I'll be keeping these for a while

Hope that helps!

can anyone please confirm if Marshall Major/Minor/FX Head/earphones work with the Nexus 5? I've been dying to know for ages! :'(
[Nexus 5 Accessories] :
i like Sennheiser. I have a pair of over the ear for about 5 years & i use them daily at work. i've had to replace the cable once. if the cable goes again, i will look at buying another pair.

i think the headphones are well balanced & accurate. they have punch for bass but are tuned pretty natural/flat.

i also use Beats headphones for home. they came w/ my HTC One. they arent bad, but they favor bass. i prefer the flat/natural tuning.

as for headphones, first u need to figure out if u want over the ear or in ear. if in ear, then they generally already seal w/ ur ear cavity. if u want over ear, u have 2 options, open back & closed back. open back is generally more natural but u can hear other sounds. closed back is a bit punchy generally, but offers isolation, like in the ear headphones.

first u need to determine what u want, then look at whats offered.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] raptir:
Also keep in mind that with an open back headphone other people can hear what you're listening to. Even if you don't mind the background noise, other people in an office are going to.

[Nexus 5 Accessories] ash1684:
I have the Marshall Major Black. They are really Super Stylish with good sound quality and nice basses (a little overpriced for the sound quality, but you will get really nice materials so it's about fair).

If you use them for long times (i'm talking about some ours), you will start to feel some pain on your ears (i guess it's becouse they fit really tight over your head).

Works great on my Nexus 5.

I'm using the SOL Republic Amps HD for on-the-go listening. I got two pair for $100 during their xmas sale, split the price with a friend. Absolutely fantastic sound quality, especially if you prefer punchy bass. Clarity of mid and low end is excellent as well. They block out noise well but not TOO well. The jack is slim enough to get thru ports on every hard case I've had on my N5 (can be a real prob for a lot of other headsets). The only detractor is the playback control. It's 3-button but only for i-devices. The middle button works well in android, and you can use any manner of single/double/treble clicks to control music, but there is no volume control. I've also been told the mic on them is crystal clear.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] rptw:
not bad, im no audiophile so no complaints from me, only complaint is i get a lot of interference in hong kong, not sure if its because theres too many people on bt or not.....
[Nexus 5 Accessories] kpjimmy:
I use these for yard work and they are fantastic. This was my gateway headphones for the line and tried everything until the V12 series, which I thought was actually bland for the price paid for it. But those were over the ear not in ears. I recommend these all the time!

BUT I just got my V-Moda XS in with custom shields. Awesome portable headset in a small profile! I also use the V-Moda M100's but that's on a plane or lounging somewhere. Here's a pic
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Mahapralaya:
Thanks for the heads-up I was contemplating the V12s as my next purchase, either those or the bluetooth capable airs. How did you find the fit of the on-ear SOL headsets? I'm rocking a big head so I was apprehensive about them.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Afwasmassi:
Sony MDR-ZX600. Great headphones.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] kpjimmy:
I have stopped reviewing since the V12s because truthfully they plateaued there. I haven't tested the Calvin Harris editions yet or even the plain Master Tracks, but I have read the Calvin Harris Tuned (the XC) are much better. Based on the line and what I have used so far, for a big head (lol) I would go Tracks HD and they are bassy good! The Tracks Air (bluetooth) version is interesting too! If they use the same drivers as the Tracks HD then those would be pretty cool! And the band is literally indestructible so if you feel like your head is about to explode, the band will still be intact lol. Maybe try them out at your local electronics store?

But the Tracks HD are ON ear so they will eventually pinch up a bit and I have a small head! I think the master tracks may be a bit more comfy. But YMMV. GL
[Nexus 5 Accessories] les02jen17:
Thanks for the info! How about the Marshall Major/Minor FX? Does anyone has it and is it compatible with the Nexus 5? Having those media player buttons working on the Nexus 5 would be awesome too! ^_^
[Nexus 5 Accessories] kyriakos127:
In my home I always use the pioneer HDJ-500. Amazing sound with great bass and sound canceling. Outside I use the iPhone earpods but I am not quite excited about them because the sound is a bit too low and I listen environment's sounds. So I will change but I don't know for what. I was about the Razer hammerhead or the xiaomi piston 2.0. What do you think about them? Are they worth? Especially the Razer hammerhead.

[Nexus 5 Accessories] SomeGuyDude:
They're hard to find. The company is Japanese and there's only one US outlet for them: http://shop.iriverinc.com/final-audio-design-pandora-hope-vi-headphones.html

The XS are dang nice portables. Little more neutral than the LP/M100, so I can imagine why a lot of people would prefer them.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Techimplant:
Honestly I dont think that the sound quality of Nexus 5 is good enough..so spending on a good pair of earphones is not advisable.. I have a pair of Klipsch S4i and the sound out of Nexus 5 isnt even close to my iPod..

Even my iPhone 5 and HTC One X had much better sound quality than Nexus..

[Nexus 5 Accessories] SomeGuyDude:
Yeah the jack is pretty rough. Hence either BT'ing to the car deck or using an external DAC. Cleans it right up in both cases.

Amazing Earbuds

Got myself these Plantronics after 4 other earbuds died because i use them while i walk home from work using public transportation and you get squeezed and when you sit down the cable near the jack would get loosen with time and then they die.

So i got my Plantronics now Bluetooth and my problem is gone and the sound quality i can say its the same as having them with a cable and using Google Music which i think has an ok EQ not great as PowerAmp.
