I'm assuming you're talking about the headphones? I've been using some cheap Skull Candy HPs for the longest time with no issues. I got the phone used so all I got was a charger. Haha. Can't say I've ever heard of the problem you're having though.

Bose is over priced, skull candy is worth only if u live in us. But IMO their sound quality isn't very remarkable, skull candy is notorious for its bass which sounds terrible.
If u are looking for Sth cheap while neutral sounding, u could go for the westones um2 series. Or St cheaper... the ultimatears200. Or if u dont wana pay convince some one to pas u their Sony ericsons in ears, they are pretty decent hahas. For ear buds, apple ones are decent.

The TF10 sounds awesome, but has serious fit issues for a lot of people, myself included.

bluetooth headset all the way, have never plugged a wire in other than for power.

try JLab earphones! paid 30 pounds for it on ebay as they are not being sold in my country. Really amazing sound quality, works perfectly, long lasting (now lasting already for 0.75 year which is long for me).
I have these

List for Samsung galaxy headset and headphones that work all three buttons & mic
- urbeats
- htc beats solo
- Sony smart headset
- Nocs NS200H-001
Update as I found some more

Try beyer dynamic! Best sound. 10 times beter than beatsaudio.

Headphones
Hey friends,
I read all your replies for this post. It seems like all are telling about headphones without mic.
Unfortunately my original headphone which I got with Nexus S is not working properly.
So please suggest me from where can I get the original samsung headphones or is there any adapter with mic with which I can connect to any other headset. Presently I am staying in UAE.
Thanks in advance.
Cheers,
Vinu

It would be nice if you post this kind of questions to Incredible S Accessories Section

I have the $350 ones and they are sooo awesome! They work great with incredible s
Sent from my Incredible S using xda premium

I have iBeats, they're great but you have to have the right equalizer... With stock htc beats EQ the sound is not that good. With DSP-Manager it's frickin awesome! But without DSP it's just a normal pair of headphones not worth 100€... They can handle a lot of bass and that's the way they should be used

You should give beats products a miss. They are like apple, but in the audio world (as in too expensive for what it is). If you really want a good pair of earphones, visit head-fi.org and read some reviews there.
It mainly depends on what you want from your earphones/headphones, and your budget. If you want extremely high bass, I think the monster turbine series are worth a look.
If you want to impress people, though, get beats.

I guess people are so against beats because they are pretty expensive. Of course there are some cheaper alternatives, but I don't know... Beats are kinda cool And the fact that the sound is bad is just a rumour that spread through the net and people just took it without trying them themselves. I also reeeaaally love the sound! The only thing that borders me, is that my left ear apperently as a too weird shape to keep these things in there where they should

I don't think anyone has identical ears, it's normal for one ear to be bigger than the other. My earphones medium size tips fit my right ear, but are slightly too big for my left, and the small is too small

No offence
But BEATS ARE A FASHION ACCESSORY
I like my sound, my headphones come from a brand renowned for quality for nearly 100 years

If you are looking for sound quality, you should be getting bose, sony, sennheiser, klipsch. If you are looking for style, buy beats. If you want bass, buy jvc xtreme xplosives.

Some could be fake, but the general rule is, the more expensive they are, the higher quality their sound is. The most expensive beats headphones are supposed to have the least bass.

and yeah i remember talking to a service guy at the htc service center, he advised me not to get the beats headset because i wont be getting the desired effect on incredible s...just because our device does not contain the beats equalizer

Beats EQ is not very good anyway! Try Beats with DSP-Manager on our IncS and you'll get a way way better effect than you'll get with Beats EQ on ONE X Trust me, I've tested it...

THE BEATS EQ IS A MARKETING GIMMICK
Dsp manager is waaaay better

Audio Technica M50s are nice. (too much bass for me though, but I prefer light bass)
Sent from my HTC Rezound

The Shure ec3 and ec5 are noice. I always used the ec series as in-ears on stage and they provide not just the volume, but the clarity and a balanced amount of bass. They're very accurate.
Sent from your mom.

First off, you're better off doing tons of research on a site like www.head-fi.org
Next, what type of headphone? Full size on-ear or over-ear? In-ear? Earbuds?
What type of music do you listen to? Do you want next to zero bass, or just not the muddied fecal matter Beats offer?

Thanks for all ur replies, i was lookin for either on ear or over the ear, i listen to alot of rnb, chart dance, some hip hop.
I do like the thought of havin bass cos im used to my beats by dre but i want more clear sounding music i want to hear crystal clear mids and highs as well as bass.
I have been doing some reading and have heard the audio technica m50 are good also the klipsch image ones had good reviews on youtube.
I honestly cant decide because theres not alot of places i can try the headphones first so ill just have to buy them and hope for the best.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium

+1 to the ath-m50s they have straight cable or coiled cables that's the only difference between the s model.
They also have Black, white and a silver pair. Black is the easiest to find though.
I love mine lots of clear of bass and pretty nice highs.

100% agree, I've heard lots of cans but my very favorite (especially for the price) is the ATH M50s. You can modify the EQ of whatever you are outputting, the bass is amazing because it underlies everything without overwhelming in a muddy way like the Beats.
The M50s IMO would be your number 1 choice.

I don't really know what you are talking about but you can improve sound a lot if you use DSP-Manager from Cyanogen.

Nope.
Beats audio in 2011 htc phones are only software, not sure about 2012. So if you install beats audio into your phone, it should sound the same as other 2011 htc phones.

Well - why buy beats? AFAIK it's mainly a product line sold with Dr dre's name, and they're said to be rather expensive and of rather low quality. That beats app to my knowledge mainly applies some equalizer settings, and buying a decent headphone set and applying a roughly similar equalizer with an app of your choice should give you similar or even better results at a comparable price IMHO

Sony are great. But the Software in the headset itself is pretty weak. I usually have iBeats but have to send them in for repairs so I'm using my spare Sony ones. You really have to do alot in DSP to unleash their full power, because they really can handle a lot of everything but the software in the headphones won't let them. It's like this:
iBeats - Hardware 60% / Headphones-Software +20% / DSP +20% -> 100% ... Software makes awesome sound of avarage headphones but if you tweal too much it will sound weird.
Sony - Hardware 80% / HP-Software -20% / DSP +40% -> 100% ... Software in the headphones suck but they can handle a lot of changes in DSP so they sound pretty much like Beats.
Other Stuff: Beats definitely look better, Beats have earphone wires with SAME lenght (With my Sony ones the right one is 4times as long as the left so you have to wear it over your neck which looks stupid and feels uncomfortable also.
Price: iBeats: 70€ /including lots of ear gums(don't know the right word), clip for shirt
Sony: 35€ /including clip but no ear gums and the stock ones are very small
So, I think this explains a little Hope it was worth typing

buy jays-a-jays four or one+
Much better and cheaper than beats
5!

Try with Altec Lansing, trust me, the best quality and perfect sound for acceptable price (somewhere near Sony).

Headphones - Unbranded beats?

So,
I've been putting my One to use today with it accompanying me on an internal flight in the UK.
Instead of using my SoundMagic earphones I decided to travel with the ones included and well, the audio quality is amazing, and a fair bit better than my usual headphones.
My question is, are they unbranded beats or just some decent unknown headphones by HTC?
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app

Possibility is they take advices from Beats or have them monitor the engineering of the headsets.
Hox earphones are great too but I dislike them because they are on ear despite loving the flat cables. If One's earphones is that great. I might ditch my Sony in ears

I agree, i had a pair of beats that came with my sensation and they were uncomfortable. The head phones that come included with the ONE are pleasant to wear and produce top notch sound quality for a stock pair of earphones. Well done HTC:good:

I compared with my Bose, urbeats, HTC's which is comes in box, galaxy S2 & S3 headphone and found that supplied standard headphone is best one and I found no different between urbeats and supplied one so I can sell my urbeats
But Urbets has a better grip in-ear

If the stock headphones are as good as people say, that is tremendous news. HTC should promote that fact harder, and consumers won't have to spend an extra £30 to £50, on getting decent sound quality.

I have to agree. Sound better than my klipsch s4 with the bonus of added button and tangle free cord. Will compare to my sound magics in a bit

I'm wondering if the US carrier branded versions of these phones will come with the headsets as well. I haven't received a set of headphones with my phone since the Touch Pro. I'm sure it's probably under the carrier's discretion, but it'd be nice to have them stateside.

Imo I think the earphones are the best iv had with a phone but still a pile of #### the bass is simply way to saturated and lacks any replication of real bass sounds I.e. a bass drum or kick doesn't sound anything like a real kick, my cx300 2's and even beats tours are ey way better then the stock included ear phones however massively better then any other included and as good as ear pods by apple.

Pretty sure normal ones. The red ear tips ones that comes bundled with One. HTC stopped bundling beats earphones awhile back.

I wish they had volume controls.

They do look like 'Unmarked Beats', however, i saw a little rumour the other day telling me that they were actually made in the same factory, by the same Manufacturer / Supplier as Beats. I may be wrong, but he is quite high up in the Mobile Industry. . .

Not a chance these are unbranded beats, take it from an owner of that many ear/ head phones including beats tours and urbeats the bundled earphones are so far away from even urbeats in terms of sound quality they are like black and white. The earphones are very good for bundled but so far from any idea of audio clarity seen in beats earphones, anyone owning a set of tours will tell the same after hearing the bundled set.
Sent from my HTC One using xda premium

what i dont get is why they dont have track controls like most bundled earphones?
im assuming the button will play / pause music and answer / end calls only? ive not actually used them yet

I have now tried a couple of the earphones and a couple off apps to allow for music control from the mic button presses on the earphones, but have not managed to get the HTC one skip track, let alone change volume.
Therefore I am thinking maybe the phone itself may be the issue (it always re-dials the last called when I double tap the button on the earphones)
Anyone had success with any earphones on the HTC one? (please don't comment if you have used a different HTC phone, as this problem may be HTC specific) if so, please help with specific details.
Thanks

I have the UR Beats as well for comparison. I agree that the standard headphones are weaker when reproducing bass, but otherwise the clarity and overall quality of sound reproduction is very good. If you travelling on public transport etc the free headset is actually a good option.
