I'd check out the Klipsch Image S4 or Image S4i (the only difference is the S4i has phone controls). I haven't used them myself yet but they're great from everything I've read and Klipsch makes fantastic products.
Thanks mate, will check them out.

No problem. Also, in case you're not using it yet I'd jump over to one of the kernels that include the VooDoo sound drivers. They make a world of difference in listening to music on the phone (there is a link to Netarchy's kernel in my sig)
Using that already..
I have a rooted standard NS (2.3.2, GRH78C) with Netarchys awesome kernel.
I had to go back to 1.1 because 1.2 was crashing the phone at every boot.
Sound is superb even through the packaged headphones.

You'll notice a huge difference with better ones, trust me. I tested the sound improvements through the stock headphones as well as a few of my high end pairs and there is a monumental difference.
First track I listened to was The Dandy Warhols - Nietzsche.... blew me away.. thanks again
might seem crazy, but i bought the bose MIE2 mobile phone headset, and the sound quality is friggin superb. the inline button works for pause/play/ff for all the apps music player, google listen, etc. and they are so comfortable. totally worth it, but costs 130 dollars. best thing i did for my phone though
Am I the only person who cant hear any difference with or without the voodoo audio tweaks? I use Sony MDR EX 300 headphones and have done for a while.... (they are awesome imo)

I've never been a fan of the sound reproduction of Sony headphones.
Here is a quote from a review of those headphones
The sound has all the traits of Sony in-ear earphones. It's no secret that average-quality dynamic transducers with an ill-designed resonance cavity don't make for mind-blowing performances.
The lack of balance is highly audible, with mediums and high frequencies that are well defined but a bass that's too strong and not very well contained. The overall definition suffers as a result and makes the sound feel a bit invasive.
Thankfully, they're much better than the kind of headphones typically supplied with portable music players, and this model is fine for anyone looking for a decent starter pair of in-ear headphones.
So long as you can find them sold at a decent price (the RRP is way too high) these headphones are a great model for anyone who wants to try out a pair of in-ear headphones. Look past the low-end packaging and a sound quality that could still be better, and these headphones have everything you need to get started.

Also, to the OP just to add a few other options...I'd forgotten about this website:
Headphone.com $50-$100 search
Is there anyone using the Klipsch S4i with SNS? I'd like to know if all the play / pause / volume buttons work?

Interesting quote. Thanks. But I like them, so each to their own I suppose.
Still, I can't hear the difference when using the Voodoo audio tweaks and I seem to be alone in that.

I haven't used those specifically, but I have used a pair of Etymotic HF3s and a pair of iBeats or something like that (my wife's). Both have controls and only the controls on the Etymotic ones worked.

I apologize, I hope you didn't take my post as an attack on your headphones, I was merely trying to inform as to a possible reason why the difference is not readily apparent. I can confirm that there is a difference and that the quality of the headphones being used does effect it (I've tested 4 pairs of headphones both with and without the tweak).

No, its cool. I spent £30 on headphones - they are not going to be as good as a £100 pair! At the price at least, I stand by em! I will try it with my Sennheiser PXC-300's tomorrow and see if I can hear it.

I just picked up a pair of audio technica ath-m50 headphones from eBay for $125. They are arguably the best headphones you can get for the money.

now im wondering if all the earphones with mic will work or should there be some specific detail that i should look out for with the mic
also, will the iphone earphones work?
thanx in advance
AFAIK, specific manufacturer earphones work only on their phones.
I've tried Sony Ericsson and Nokia in-ears, they DON'T work.

Bought myself Beats Tour earphones a couple weeks ago. The sound it makes is just staggering. Makes me feel like there's a sub-woofer inside my head lol.
I think it will go with the casing if it will work.

I use white earphones from blackberry but dont know the name sry.
well, right now, there are 2 earphones that are catered for Android users, with apps from the Android Market to support the earphones operation...one is JAYS a-Jays One+, and the other is Klipsch S4A...both are in-ear earphones with mic and answer buttons...
The Bose MIE2 mobile headset, for me are the best with mic, the bass is amazing and the acoustics in this specially designed headphones sounds very clear, very deep bass feel you are listening live

For collection of list of variety of Headsets that are fully compatible with Defy/+.
As we know we have variety of Roms and highly customized music players and equalizers available.. I don't think we would ever need any dedicated Music Player for our needs.. What we need is just a Quality Headsets.
If in your experience you have ever used/tested any other OEM Headset in the past, which are fully compatible or not compatible for Defy/+.. Post it with a review so that other can have information for a better selection..
Samsung EHS60.. which come inbox with S and Y series is fully compatible.. High on bass as well as cheap.

I guess all earphones/headphones having a 3.5mm jack, WITHOUT A MIC, are fully compatible with Defy/Defy+.
Philips SHH-7810 works absolutely great, Sound is awesome(full bass),fits perfectly,and the mic too works..

I changed the same in OP, i guess all the headphones without Mic or buttons would work perfectly well.. but the real deal is in choosing Headset i.e. which come with Mic and extra buttons..
I m using SE mw600... nice clear bass, amazing sound quality
I tested a Soundmagic MP21, and it DOES NOT work. The output sound is messed up.
i am using meelec m9p... works great...

HTC RC-E160 worked but the Skip track buttons are not recognized All three buttons act as one single button i.e. just play and pause.. Sound quality is average i mean Default Moto produces better sound than RC-E160.
I just use Koss Porta Pros. They're the best headphones out there (unless you need some serious fancy ****) and I use the mic on the phone

JVC HA-FX1X. Good performance, sound intermediate.Cheaps.
I'm using MEElectronics CC-51P, and works perfectly with Defy, mic works very well and the sound is awesome.
Logitech Ultimate Ears 400vm - sounds and works well with Defy. Mic works, answer button works. Can start and stop music with answer button and also skip track via long press
Bose MIE2i - not detected as a headset, headphone funtionality only
best headphones you can ever think of .. perfect design great comfort and the bass ohh.. this monster beats many of them personally tested and working very well with defy

People claim they are awesome. I own a pair and do not think they are that great. Nothing, IMO, beats a pair of over the ear headphones. $100 bucks is pricey too for a pair of earbuds. The quality seems to be quite low, too. I replaced them twice before buying a pair of headphones.

I have them and I love em. They sound better than any other earbuds ive owned.
I have the image s4's. I would say they are fairly average in that range. Etymotics have better fidelity but less bass.
The sound profile of these changes completely once you get a set of comply foam tips on them. Seal is better, bass is punchier, mids and highs aren't as grating and they fit my ears a lot more comfortably.

I use my GR07 MK2 (neutral) almost exclusively, but my partner owns a pair of ckm500 and they're very "fun" & easy to drive. A little too "boomy" and no where near quick enough for me, but keep in mind this is coming from someone who enjoys quick precise BA/ BA like dynamic iems
Edit: I'd also throw Yamaha's EPH-100 into the mix. They can be had for ~$100, but their difficult to find.

In-Ear Monitors (IEMs) can most certainly be worth the price, plenty of professional musicians using them onstage quite happily. For great info on headphones check a musician or audiophile source, I like head-fi.org, here's a buying guide they keep updated:
http://www.head-fi.org/a/buying-guide-headphones-by-price-range
also check http://www.gearslutz.com/board/ which is a music engineering forum, I'm sure there's some good info there.
When I decided to get a nice pair of over-the ear headphones I took my ipod to Guitar Center and started taking headphones out of boxes and trying them out. A musician-based store will understand needing to audition the gear, and I ended up spending $150 on a pair of KKRs that I love, which I use with my Viewsonic Gtab. I routinely hear things in songs I've never heard before with this setup.
There's another thread in this forum about using external USB Digital-Analogue Converters (DACs) with the HDMI port to get even better sound, but then you start running into the quality of your files, lossy(mp3) vs lossless(flac), etc.
FWIW At work I love my cheap Sony plugs, surprisingly nice sound for under $20.
DOH. Didn't even see that everyone else was linking to head-fi.
A good pair of IEMS can sound better than Over the ears cans, here are mine http://www.head-fi.org/t/596573/new-toy-iems-and-music-player-d#post_8156648 been using it with the S3, iPhone 5, and now the Note II and so far soooo good
these are http://audioearz.com Cheap but high quality !!!!! i just recently upgrade mine from AUD-5x to AUD-7x
im using stock headphones that came with the note 2. listening to it with power amp and bass and treble turned higher, it sounds amazing.
Hey! Thanks for all the replies! What I'm after is a decent pair of IEM with the mic and volume controls which is fully compatible with the GN2. The stock one aren't that bad but I'm looking for something with better audiophile but has to have the hands-free function as well. The S4A II seems to be the only one that fits the job right now. I've looked at JAYS but not so sure about brand. When I really just want to listen to music, I use my custom fit pair of UE.

I use a pair of Sony XBA-2vp. Dual balanced armature IEMs with mic control for Android. Volume control is through an analog slider though.
IIRC it got decent reviews on Head Fi. Although if there was a XBA-3 with Android controls, I would have probably bought that instead.
Kind regards

which is best suited or your favorite headphone/headset for op3 to buy in India

I have OP3 & use following headphones/earphones
1. Sony XB30
2. MEE Electronics M6 Pro
3. 1More Tripple Driver
4. Audio Technica ATH AD900X
5. Beyerdynamic Custom One Pro's
I change between these according to my needs and the songs i listen.
Though as i told earlier, audio is subjective. Try before you buy
I'm using Xiaomy Hybrid Dual Driver, too, and think about switching to Xiaomi HDPro or Sony MDR EX-450AP.
Generally speaking I prefer earbuds (I.e. in-ear headsets) over other solutions because they give good isolation and immersive sound.
Curious to see what other suggestions will be given here...

Imo the Sony sounds better. They are more expensive and they're headphones whereas the Sennheisers are earphones. I use the Sennheisers when I'm on the go and the Sony's when I'm at home listening to music or watching a show etc.
I am using Apple Ear pods, sound is good but the volume control buttons of the earphones are not working
I'm using apple ear pods they sound really good tbh.
I use SoundMagic E10's for my Earphones. For headphones I use Audio Technica ATH-M50X's both awesome and inexpensive

I like the Bose SoundSport earbuds
I use for years some replica of big Beats. Sounds fine on 3 HTC phones & now on OnePlus 3.
i use mee audio mduo, xiaomi piston basic and a jvc ha-fx1x , i can tell the most balanced are the mduo, great bass and trebs, the jvc ones are too basshead, the pistons delivers a greater sound/placement comfort ratio (those thins doesn't fall off even when running), but overall experience gets powered up with a good player, i use poweramp with hi-res output (no eq or tone enabled) + stock eq set on general enhancement + metal preset, i know theese are budget earbuds but they seemed to offer great quality over more expensive ones (shure se 215), hope this helped you
