But honestly, how many headphone adapters have you gone through?

I think I've just broken the 4th one.
Ok, the first 3 just sort of fell apart. They were very cheap (like £1/£1.50) but I made sure got one which wasn't made of 2 pieces put together at the phone end connector and it has not broken so far. However, today I got the dreaded "only sound in one ear" problem. If you push it to downwards it'll play in stereo again but I can't keep my finger there all the time.
So, what have you guys done? Cause surely you play music on your phone, right?
This is the new one I have..http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/3-5mm-Headpho...ting_LaptopAccessories_RL?hash=item3357cd4555
Where as this is the old one, which I definitely don't recommend.

I bought mine from the seller directstation in January? and so far (touch wood) I've never had a problem with it which is pleasantly suprising as it looks very flimsy

I use a well brand headphone adapter..its for the touch hd but it is standard htc 11pin usb so its perfect..look it up on ebay..i bought 2 for $4 dollars so their cheap but solid

Actually, I put in the wrong link for the good adapter. The Directstation one was the same as the one I bought before and I manage to break 2 of those in under a week. I have changed that now.
The new one has lasted about 1 month or more but that is still too short I think. Besides, I'm not sure if it's the adapter or actually the plug in the Magic itself that's broken.
Man I wish this phone came with a standard 3.5mm headphone jack instead.

Well that was my tough choice to make with Vodafone, they had just anounced the HTC Tattoo when I got my contract and was offered either that or the Magic naturally I chose the Magic as it had the better screen of the two however it is sorley lacking a 3.5mm headphone jack
hmmmmm

Can someone PLEASE recommend me a good IN-EAR headphone from eBay?
I just broke my 3rd one!!!!

I hate in ear headphones with a passion. Lacking bass, sounds different if they just move slightly and....er...I don't like things in my ears.
I've yet to try anything from Etymotic. Apparently they are the bees knees, but not exactly cheap though.

This is the official site but I got mine at the Co-Op of my University campus for 50$
Sound is awesome and they are sturdy as hell. Plus with these buds, you don't hear a peep from the outside world.
I know I sound weirdly "sold" but it was really a revelation when I bought my pair of FullMetalJackets (another model)

That's no longer true on the bass .... many options for very good bass ear buds now. Including up to extremely expensive $500 earbuds. I have some middle of the line Sennheiser earbuds and the bass is excellent.
Your other points are true.

Best stereo earbuds with mic for Bionic

Anybody have a good recommendation for a set of earbuds which works well with the bionic? My only request is that the earbuds not be the sound-isolating in-the-ear type, and the sound quality be good.

I won a set of the Munitio 9mm Billets at work. They look and sound are very very good. Not a lot of function with the mic on it. Just the one button to answer, hang up, and bring up voice commands. They sound extremely good and look like hollow point bullets which is pretty cool too. I would check them out. The ear piece, mic section, as well as the piece connects the two bud wires to the remainder of the wire is machined aluminium so they feel sturdy as hell. Best Buy has some Modern Combat 3 special edition versions for like 90 bucks.

Klipsh S4. As far as I can tell, it has no equal.
Read up on it to see what I mean.
I was skeptical at first but became a believer after playing my first track with it.
Got rid of my Bose and Beats.

For those curious, as a stop-gap solution, I bought a pair of these:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003OE30KQ
The sound quality is pretty good, and they work fine with the phone. They're big in the ears, but not awful, and I figure they buy me time to look for something else I might prefer. Plus, the price was right.

+1 for these... I have a couple pair of these... one @ work and one in the car... The sound quality is ok and the I've never had an issue with anyone hearing me... I don't recommend these for anyone looking to enjoy all that music has to offer.. I use my QC 15s for that..

Why even bother with wired headphones? Bluetooth is the way to go. 30 foot range, volume controls, track controls. And they are priced from $29 now. No cords, no tangle, and no worries about the static from the headphone jack if you are one of those effected.

I have the Bose MIE2 set. They sound great and the mic does a fairly good job. I have used other earbud style headphones but found them uncomfortable or they simply fall out. The Bose do not go into the ear canal but rest on the "bowl" of your ear and they stay in even when working out.

+ 1 for the Klipsch(sp) s4. I love them like no other, but they are sound isolating.

My Rocketfish™ Mobile - RF-MAB2's are pretty awesome. I use them to listen to music at the gym, at home, outside in the cold, and at work. The SQ on these are pretty damn good.

I have the same pair, and the same phone......my issue is that when I use them on a call the mic volume to too low for anyone to hear me. I tried adjusting the volume on the Bionic and on the headphones with no luck

Once you bite the bullet and spend the $, you'll be glad you did.

You people must be our of your minds to spend so much on earbuds, UNLESS:
- They have super durability.
- They are tangle free.
- They never break.
- They have great treble.
- They have great bass.
- They have a built in microphone.
- & maybe they have a bulit in volume control slider.
To me this is what makes a good set of earbuds, unless you are all filthy rich, I suggest that you size down. In times like these, there is no reason to justify spending over $25 on a pair of earbuds, when your next door neighbor may be starving. Think about others.

Some people have different priorities, I spent $800 on custom IEM "earbuds". They are extremely fragile, tangle easily, and have no mic or volume control. Audio quality is one of those things that matters to me in life. I may blow money on that but there are other things I'm sure other people would and I wouldn't. To each his own.

I have a pair of durable earbuds that I got on DealExtreme, usually they are crap there, but I lucked out. They are outstanding. All I do is add the volume control/mic adapter and guess what?!?
I have the headset of my dreams for under $10. And I am an audiophile, let that be known.
I am sorry and I don't mean to be rude, but either you are just stupid, or have lost your friggin mind to spend $800 on one pair of earbuds that someone can steal by swyping them out if your ears, especily if they are fragile! Do you know that you could be feeding kids that don't have food with that money! Look, for you to selfishly spend $800 on fragile earbuds is outright stupid to me.
Again, my intent is not to insult anyone, I would like you to realize that you can do good things with that money and buy a great set of durable high quality earbuds!!!

I'm a big fan of meelectronics stuff. Sound quality is decent, and very affordable

I guess you're right; I should ask myself how many starving kids I could feed before I spend any money. I can't believe I didn't think of that. I do like how you said "my intent is not to insult anyone" right after you just called him stupid. How much did your Android phone cost you? Unless it was free, you should have settled for the free phone and sent your savings to your starving friends.

@deedscreen
So first you threaten to tattle on anyone that replies to your "shame on you for using YOUR money to buy something YOU want instead of giving it to someone else" statement with any rude backlashes but then proceed to blatently insult someone and try to play it off like it was not your intention?
Nice logic there...
If he wants to spend $800 on a pair of earbuds, that's his money and his right to do so.
The sad truth is that there are indeed poor people out there. I used to be ridiculously poor to. No heat, no adequate living conditions, just a 40 foot trailer. Now I live in a nice house and have everything I need.
My point is, not once in my struggle to make a better life for myself and my family did I beg someone else to sacrifice something of theirs for my well-being. And because of that, I'm not going to give money, food or something else that I worked incredibly hard for to someone I don't know. That doesn't mean I don't contribute to charities and events for children because I do, but I can't trust one "starving homeless" person from the next because I have seen many of them leave their squatting area and return to their homes, realizing they are using those signs they hold as a con for free money.
So instead of insulting people and preaching your beliefs on how you think the world should work, lets try to stay on topic.
For me, I bought a $20 pair of Sony earbuds and a Michael adapter for $2 online. It's worked great for the past few years without a problem.

Everyone has their own priorities in life, but I'm a grown ass man and will spend my money (or what little I have) on what I see fit.
Sorry no input on the headphones, I just bought a pair at target for 10 bucks and they sound ok, I don't know what brand they are but they're black, lol.

Ear BUDS
By far the Shure SE535 are the best out there, they Featuring Triple High-Definition Micro-Drivers, utilizes dedicated tweeter and dual woofers to deliver spacious sound with rich bass. Like the other one said starting around 400$ they are a bit expensive. I've found for everyday listening and working out i use a 19.99 set i bought at Walmart and they work just fine. But if you can afford it , really into music, one of the best in the market is Shure SE535 .

on another note:
i bought a pair of iFrogz at walmart for $16. the sound is good BUT every couple of minutes the music stops and i hear "say a command". Thats freakin annoying!!! there is no button or anything, just a mic. has anyone else experianced this. im thinking they are just imcompatile. i like the idea of having a mic but i dont want to buy another set if its just gonna do it on every set.

How many pairs of headphones have you broken?

So I think this is a valid question, how many pairs of head phones have you gone through? I swear I've gone through like 14 or so, probably 6 of them are them damn apple headphones.

[Q] Free MDR-1 Headphones

Hi all,
Just checking as to what headphones everyone got with their pre-orders, it seems some got the Bluetooth version, so my question is did everyone get that version?
Will be collecting mine from Three at lunch time

I'd have loved the BT nfc ones, makes sense to pair those with the Z. Still a nice pre order bonus though.
Ordered from cpw and have the standard wired ones.

LUCKY BLUETOOTH BOYS!!!
Here's hoping I am equally blessed but I am not holding out too much hope

I am a bit disappointed now, just looked at the different models as I thought they were all noise cancelling headphones, but it seems only the MDR-1RNC are noise cancelling, priced at £449
Never mind though, at least I'll be able to hear the traffic if trying to cross the road lol

It would really make my day if I SonyMobile.com sent out the Bluetooth ones, but something tells me that they're only offering the regular ones. Which, frankly, isn't such a big deal if you ask me - shouldn't be a problem to use with mw600 or similar "adapter-ish".

I got the normal ones in black, I don't know what made me think they were supposed to be noise cancelling though, I must have read it in a review rather than on the Sony offer page...

Normal ones from P4U for me still happy tho

No idea why someone would want wireless headphones over wired ones, unless you're selling on. Wireless is more expensive while lower quality sound. Fact.

I preordered mine on the first day they opened preordering up, Got an email today from P4U, saying "sorry I didn't get it today but It has been sent special delivery before 1pm tomorrow". and I've been upgraded to the Sony MDR-1RBT ones worth £399, even tho they only £248 on amazon.Would have been nice to get the noise cancelling ones tho' lol

I got the wired one.... preordered from carphone warehouse...

The XperiaZ kinda encourages everyone to use wireless accessories. i'm gonna need to buy a SBH20 so that i can plug my headphones into the bluetooth reciever so that I don't have to open flaps on my xperiaZ.

Sorry but no.
Sacrificing quality (for a higher price at the same time) for style is kind of stupendous.
What's more, I'm not planning to dump my phone into water or take it under the shower. Water resistance is something for emergency situations, if you drop your phone into the sink that it doesn't go bust. I won't refrain from using my phones features like the damn USB port and headphone jack for some misplaced sense of diving desire.
Treat it like the ZL and realize your phone will function with or without water resistance (except under water).

So I got a brand spanking new Nexus 6 and right out of the box I had a issue where it thought the headphones were in, I wiped it flashed stock ROM and custom ROM still happened, called in for warranty and tmobile sent me a refurbished one that clearly had the screen replaced cause you could still see the plastic under the glass. Well last night the brand new one stopped doing it and is now working flawlessly, I'm thinking about keeping the new one and calling them and telling them nevermind but do you think it will happen again?? Should I just keep the referb?

Motorola can't build phones. Every nexus 6 has static through the headphone jack. If someone says there's doesn't. They aren't using the headphone jack or they are def. Mine has done it from day one and the only way around it for me was to install a Bluetooth receiver in my truck and my home receivers. Hate this hpone but stuck with it for another year. I'm

I use the headphone jack frequently and am certainly not deaf. I haven't encountered any static, so perhaps I'm simply lucky.

I'm in the same boat, that makes 2 lucky people lol

I've never heard of that issue before, but I've never had that problem myself. I just a corded pair of earphone. No bluetooth.

This might sound crazy but it worked for me with a similar issue with the headphone jack controlling my volume/speakers - blow into the jack to clean it out. A bit of debris in the jack had mine acting crazy for a few weeks.

I would actually be furious if I were to receive a defective device that I PAID for and when I notify the carrier they go and send out a replacement that's refurbished? What kind of bs is that, either you send me a brand new replacement or refund me the money. I would've given T-Mobile hell over the phone

Dont have static headphones. I have static speakers tho. Yes, these phones are built pretty bad lol.

perhaps check if the headphone jack is clean or try cleaning it.
