I'm thinking about buying some new headphones to go with my HD2 for train journeys. The existing ones are actually not too bad quality for bundled 'phones, but they are not very sound-proof, so if you want to use them on the London Underground you can't hear anything!
I was therefore thinking about some Etymotic HF5 'phones which have very good acoustic isolation. Has anyone tried these with the HD2? Or can anyone suggest some alternatives?
(For people who want a microphone, there is an equivalent, the HF2, which has one).
Oh, I should also have said that I hate headphones which are bass-heavy. Descriptions like "accurate", "neutral", "detailed" and "transparent" tend to attract me. I also quite like 'phones that emphasise the mid-range. But emphasis on bass puts me right off.
QuietComfort
I have used since long the "QuietComfort 3 Acoustic Noise Cancelling" headphones from Bose with my iPod and now also with my HD2. They are especially useful on planes and noisy environments, but also good for listening to speach on the phone. For the last you'll need the "QC3 mobile communications kit", which allows you to use the microphone in the cable.
I have used them to participate in long calls during the last weeks and they always feel comfortable.
I know they are not very cheap, but after having tested 3 or 4 different ones, this one is still my favourite.
I like a bit of extra bass kick so I have the Etymotic ER6i's. Noise cancelling is superb - I use most days on commute into London and whenever I fly. Customer support is excellent even if in the USA. My cable became faulty near the plug end and I'd gone over the 1 year warranty by a month or so. No problem - they gave me a returns code and it just cost me a few quid postage out to the states. New cables and plug, good as new on return.
I recently have modified the htc headset that was shipped with my leo. But it surely doesn't replace a high quality headset...

I am somewhat torn by high-end noise-cancelling 'phones. Can't decide if the sound quality and comfort are worth the bulk, or if I really ought to go for something I can fit in my pocket....
If anyone is looking for cheaper noise-cancelling 'phones, btw, these are an absolute steal at £50 (RRP £160!): http://www.play.com/Electronics/Ele...ctive-Noise-Reduction-Headphones/Product.html

As far as I'm aware, Etymotic 'phones aren't noise-cancelling, they simply block out noise by sealing your ears, which is quite different.
As I loathe 'phones that emphasise bass, it sounds like I might be well advised to steer clear of these! But thanks for the info (on Etymotic as well as on the ER6i).
hi,
i first tried the bose quite comfort3, very impressive sound expierience. the size, is way to big to travel/transport them around, its more a home device in my eyes. if the battery is empty, it stops working completly, and you need carry the bose charger to load it. the price of 300€ is simply more then i can/want effort.
the next headphone i tried was the Sennheiser PXC 250-II . they are made for traveling, so you can fold them away. the electronic and the batteries are in an extra case that can be clipped to the belt wich makes the headset lighter weight. the device is powered by 2 'aaa' batteries, and the headset needs the power only for the noise cancelation. wich means you have sound even with no batteries inserted. and the price is aroung 140€.
im travelling a lot by plane and both headsets do a brilliant job on noise reduction.
mad.
*EDIT* as i wrote this i saw bose now also have a more travelling like headset quitecomfort15, wich is using a single 'aaa' battery.
If you want portable and noise cancelling, I have a pair of Sony MDRNC22B Noise cancelling headphones and they are fab. good natural sound quality and the battery lasts for about 50 hours.

Nice guide!!!
I bought some sennheiser MM50ip headphones so that I could it for handsfree, it works but not 100% as they dont have the buttons for channing tracks like the supplied ones. Call quality and sound is great though.
Now do I dare rip them apart to mod them to my likeing
Oh and check out this great site www.fakeheadphones.com if you intend to buy headphones over the internet esp ebay/amazon market place..... its scary how these fake headphones looks so close to the originals
Hey guys, I am looking for a good pair of noise cancelling headphones to use with my iPod touch. I travel long distances every day in the train and seem to have misplaced my old headphones. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
P.S
I wouldn't mind headphones with some extra bass.
For extra bass get vmoda heasdphpnes. However I use klipsch image s4 and can just use the bass eq and wont hear any background noise on the subway. Both are in-ear headphones.

I'm curious about voice calls. With the noise-cancellation, do you find that you speak too loudly? I know I tend to have that problem, in general, when wearing headphones. I am very interested in getting good noise-canceling headphones (preferably bluetooth) to use in my all-day conference calls from my sometimes-noisy house. But I am concerned about the talking too loud problem.

Hello
I am on the hunt for some good headphones that I can use to listen to music and answer/talk on the phone. I got some headphones off amazon that said they were for the incredible, however you can't answer the phone by the headphone controls... Has anyone found some good headphones?
Thanks

I'd recommend pre-ordering the Klipsch Image S4A's. I have the regular Image S4's (no inline remote/mic, otherwise identical) and they sound incredible. They're well worth the asking price.
I am notoriously cheap. Um, I mean frugal.
Awhile back I looked around for earbuds and found a few that I liked. I like Koss, though they can tend to be kind of bass-heavy (to the point of muddiness). The Plug by Koss is an example of this: they fit wonderfully but can be a bit biased toward bass.
I replaced my Plugs by Koss with a pair of black Yamaha EPH-20 earbuds. They are quite a bit "brighter" than the Plug but don't skimp on the bass.
I personally can't see spending more than $30 or so on earbuds for my cell phone, so I hope this helps.
No brainier when these come out. Inline control works with Android, iOS and WindowsPhone for $50.

I use JH Audio 13 PRO with my Dinc and they sound incredible but they are $1,150 ha ha.
I use a pair of JVC Marshmallow 'buds... they're $20 at Wal-Mart, come in several different colors, and sound amazing to me. Yeah, they don't have a built in mic, no external controls, but if what you're looking for is simply music, they're one heck of a deal.
http://www.walmart.com/ip/JVC-In-Ear-Marshmallow-Black/14562427
If you need the built in mic and answer controls, the wired headset earbuds from my old BlackBerry sound decent and the answer button / mic works. $8 on amazon.

Bang and Olufsen Earset 3 or A8s
I work for Bang and Olufsen, and we make a killer set, for about $200. I might sound a little biased, but honestly I could care less if you chose to by ours over another brand. Why? If I sell one, I make about 5 Bucks commission. And the odds someone reading this forum is going to buy a set from me? Don't really need to answer that one. That being said, hear me out about the inside scoop:
They are made out of aluminum, and aren't the isolation type that get shoved in your ear canal. You lose a little bass, but you can walk down the street and not get jacked because you are oblivious to whats going on around you. They have great sensitivity (don't need to crank your device, which saves battery life), and the stereo imaging is amazing. The highs are clear and sharp and don't break up. They also stay on your ears very well and are great for exercising. Plus, they come with a 3 year international warranty: If you break them, you can bring them into any showroom in the world and we will swap them out on the spot (provided they don't look like you ran them over with a car) if you have proof of purchase (we will help you out with this part by contacting the store you purchased them from).
We also have sets of the Dre Beats In-Ears, Bose on-ears and in-ears (Bose stands for "Buy Other Sound Equipment"), and the Klipsch S4s in our showroom and have tested them against our own. We beat them hands down. Our customers have all agreed as well (comparing them hands-on with their own phones and ipods, not our demo tracks).
Go find a showroom, and give them a shot. Not saying their the best thing since sliced bread, but you might find them to be exactly what you are looking for.

While I have no doubt that the B&O set is very good, I have difficulty imagining that they're as much bang for your buck as (at least) the Klipsch S4s. I agree with a lot of your points (with Bose and Beats, you're paying for the brand, not for quality) but when you say that the B&O set beats all those, it should... it costs $200. The rest are $75-100, or cheaper if you find a decent deal (not too hard). As great as the B&O set may be, 3/8 the price for at least 5/8 sound quality (S4) makes a much better deal for the average, non-audiophile, consumer who wants great sound from their device.
but also to consider; the Klipsch ones aren't as durable. You'll probably go through 3 pairs in the time you go through one set of B&Os. $200 is for the earset, which has a mic for handsfree calling. 160 gets you headphones only.

How long are you talking about going through the B&O's in? I've had the S4s for about 6 months. That's longer than I've ever had earbuds before (I'm VEEEERY hard on them), and they still look and feel brand new. By my standards, the build quality is extremely impressive.
My buddy is on an earbud hunting kick and I've been helping him out. We've tested just about everything we can find locally and so far the best sounding are the Klipsch X10I. We found them locally for $250.00 and they are worth it. I have a set of JH Audio 13 PRO's and the Klipsch X10I's sound about 50% of the JH Audio and that's really saying something. Besides the JH Audio, the Klipsch X10I's are the best sounding earbuds I've heard yet.

I like the S2m. Decent price too.
And BOSE also stands for "Basically...Overpriced Stereo Equipment"
No highs...No lows...Must be BOSE!!

I use these as headphone for music and calls. I cannot attest to any sound quality As I am somewhat hearing impaired(need aids) But these are able to play music loud enuff for me listen too. On calls I hear the voice quite well and the caller says they can hear me clearly.
I have a pair of Shure SE210s and I love them, but I can't recommend them unless you're planning on photo-shopping your receipt to make it look like they're still under the 2 year warranty when they break every 1.5 years. The audio quality is fantastic, and I like the in-ear design but they just don't hold up to what I think is normal use.

That's all you need.
I use the $50-$60 ViSang R03 / Brainwavz M2, and couldn't be happier.
"The ViSang R03 is an incredible performer - a wholesome combination of build quality, comfort, and sound at a price well south of $100. In terms of coherency of sound signature they are up there with the best sub-$100 earphones I have heard. The combination of impactful bass, clear mids, and crisp treble give the R03 a very agreeable sound that can be enjoyed by both the audiophile and the casual listener in equal measure. And that fact alone makes them highly recommended earphones with a sound signature geared slightly towards the mainstream market compared to much of the gear talked about on head-fi. Do I personally still prefer a more analytical sound? Yes. But that does not prevent me from enjoying the R03 in the least. They are not perfect, but they are unreasonably good for what they cost."

3 Years plus. They will most likely last you well past that, but if they break within 3, you get a brand new pair for free.
Klipsch
I love the new Klipsch S4A great sound quality for a low price, plus it's made specifically for android
I'm going to sound insane compared to folks advocating $50-$250 headphones.
I use OEM Palm Stereo Headset 3.5mm model#3422WW. These are in ear, not in ear canal. They sound better than $30 & $50 headphones I've tried. Oh yeah easily had on eBay $3.50.
I recently rediscovered Pandora and I also found iHeartRadio. I found my favorite morning radio show on one of the stations. Sadly I haven't found my favorite local station that has the morning show. I work off and only catch part of it on Mondays while driving out of town. These with the Nexus S are awesome.
I'm clueless on Bluetooth headsets. I discarded the ear buds or disregarded them actually and used them for the first time this weekend after using a pair from the Galaxy S last week. Those hurt my ears but the NS ones I used last night were pretty comfortable and was even able to sleep on my side.
So on to the wants...
Price: 50 or less. Maybe more if you can provide a very good reason.
Sound Quality: I can't tell the difference between CD and MP3 so they don't have to be great, good will do.
Volume Control: I really want this on there. I'm going to need to hear people speaking to me while I'm listening to music, but I'm going to need to turn up the volume when I take a call.
Multiple Phones: I have the Nexus S as my personal phone but I'm a foreman at work and have a BB Curve that the company provides me. It would be pretty sweet if it would answer both phones. The BB rings more often. This would be the very good reason I mentioned above.
Charging: I'm not sure how this works on BT devices. Educate me.
Comfort: This is key for me. I'd hate to waste my money on something I'll put on a shelf and look at. Like I said the buds that came with the Nexus S are comfortable to me but I've never liked a pair that were like the ones in the Galaxy S.
I just did this same search. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to find anything that supported A2DP for less than $80 (Canadian). I went with a BlueAnt T1, primarily because it has an Android app that does Text to Speech for SMS. Pretty happy with it, aside from the price.
I was in the same need as the OP but I've found the sollution in the Sony Ericsson MW600 BT headset. The sound quality is excellent, loud and clear, it has built-in FM radio which works very well and it can be paired with 3 devices at once. It also has volume control, play/pause, fwd and rew buttons on it.
You can use you favorite set of headphones with this little gadget .. I highly recommend it.
Went with the Sony Ericsson. Thanks for the suggestions. Should be here by next weekend or later. Free shipping for the win!
Maybe these might be something your looking for. I personally have them they have good sound have volume control, track skipping and phone button to take calls. Quality is ok, not as nice as some other headsets but not bad for the price. http://www.amazon.com/Motorola-S9-H...R0BW/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1318213100&sr=8-1
Looks like you made a decision already, but one I totally recommend is the Motorola S305. Its similar to the suggestion in the above post, but with better reviews. If anybody else is looking for some good Bluetooth headphones, check these out.

I've also used for about 2 years ,w/o any complain, the Nokia BH-503 - http://www.amazon.com/Nokia-BH-503-Stereo-Headset-Black/dp/B001DEWSWA
The only downside of those headsets is that you can not use them in a business enviroment or while driving so you will need a second BT device for those situations. That was the main reason I've sold the nokia one and bought the SE MW-600 ... it is meant for general usage (and for the FM radio ).

Hi, I' looking for a wireless headset for gim use (running on the tapis roulant etc...)
Do you think this Sony Ericson can be used for this?
As long as you can clip it to some clothing it should work great. It is very very light so it should stick nice for any activity.
I'm using it also for mountain biking and it never fell off ... not even when I'm going downhill.
Bought it

Does anyone use or know of a good sound dock to use with our note 2?
There are plenty of options for the iPhone/ipod but android seems quite limited.
Phillips seem to have a fairly good range from budget to higher end.
Or maybe is it better to have just a speaker(s)
I am not wanting one to use as an alarm just purely for music.

Thanks for taking the time to reply.
Both speakers look interesting, the Jambox seems to have some good reviews and is near to the top end of what i am wanting to spend.
Sound quality is a factor and i know i am not going to get state of the art with my budget nor ear splitting volume, i have my stereo for that anyway the Jambox again seems to have good reviews for sound quality the mini boombox does not have quite the same reviews although there is quite a price difference between the two.
One advantage of these as opposed to a dock is they are portable.
Any other recommendations on other speakers or docks or user views on the two items mentioned above.
Thanks
I was in Target couple days ago, and saw Bose Soundlink and BigJambox, same price, but I'm more interested in the Jambox, the demo song, it does indeed shows 3D virtual surround. Not sure if it still have 3D with non binaural recorded songs, but it's amazing. Might get that, need to save some dough first though, at$300 it's not cheap for me.

Thanks, do you have a link to the exact model you mention.
With the change to lightning from the Apple 30 pin, there should be a ton of discounted speakers and docks made for the older gen iOS devices. With Bluetooth to 30 pin adapters like this dockboss air : http://www.cablejive.com/products/dockBoss-air.html , you should be able to find a good solution. This is actually how I've tapped into my car stereo which has an iPod connector with my android devices. The nice side effect is that it passes the media controls as well, so the track advance/reverse can be controlled through it.

despite the negative reviews, I never had any problem with mine, and I have connected it to maybe 30 different phones and pda's because I bring it to work and my colleagues use it... maybe those people who gave a negative review do not know what they are doing to connect the unit....
Edit:
The Altec speaker is more on the clinical side... so it is good for listening to musical, voacls, rock, etc... it lacks the very deep bass of other speakers like the Bose or Logitech Boombox which I have owned... but it compensates for it's audio clarity... If you like bigger boomy bass, go for the logitach boombox, otherwise go for the the Altec... the Bose is not worth it IMHO.

I have the sound stack from soundfreaq. They make a really good product from my experience.
I did a review of it here:
http://www.examiner.com/review/review-soundfreaq-sound-stack-bluetooth-speaker-dock
I have reviews coming up of specific android units from philips, iluv, and gracedigital. The grace digital dock is even note 2 specific!
Just an update on my Soundfreaq sound kick.
I am really impressed with the speaker, amazing clear sounds with no distortion, volume level is great as well.
Not for anyone who is looking for deep bass, but this little speaker is perfect for needs.
I like the usb slot at the back so i can charge my phone as it plays if i need to.
Really happy and a bargain at £74 when i bought it.

I'm using the blueant Q2 one of the best ones I've ever used and the most comfortable too.
Love the 90s good times
Currently I'm using a jawbone icon and love it thus far. I've used quite a few high end Motorola's jabras and blackberry units as well as the original jawbone. The icon trumps them all for comfort, usability, and noise cancelation. I've never used a blue ant though.
I have a jawbone era that I hate using. I hurts my ear to much. That hard rubber is just a bad design they should of went a more soft gel design

Jawbone Era because it was on sale for an awesome price of $50 when I was looking to pick one up. Works great for me, never had any problems with it.
Bluetooth Headset - Motorola Sliver II. I have odd ears I guess. I had owned every Jawbone there was and loved them until they changed up the ear pieces and they would no longer stay in my ear or not hurt them. I tried BlueAnt but also didn't fit my ears. Then I tried the Motorola Elite Sliver and fell in love. Not only does it fit perfectly I can't tell I am wearing it at all. The battery life is amazing and it comes with a spare battery/charger. But my biggest reason was that I use two phones, work/home. So I wanted a headset that would work well on both. Nothing I tried worked as well as the Sliver. The only drawback is that the Motorola android app, which also allows you to listen to and send texts, doesn't announce incoming caller-id. It was supposed to be updated but in the year that I have had the headset it still isn't. I recently upgraded to the Sliver II and the Motorola App doesn't even work with it but it does announce caller ID for people in your contacts. So for fit, comfort and dual phone usage this was easily the best headset I tried out of many. Could use more features but I will take all of the pros over the one or two cons.
Bluetooth Headphones - Beats By Dre . Because I like a lot of bass and no wires :victory:
Bluetooth Car Stereo - Kenwood KDC-BT955HD. Because I have been a Kenwood fan since I was a teenager.
Bluetooth Remote Control - Satechi BT MediaRemote Bluetooth Multi-Media Remote Control. Because before I put in the Kenwood I needed something to control my phone so that I could put it in my console and play music from a remote.
