Can anyone compare the sound of Butt S with the QUALCOMM galaxy s4 and the htc one?Maybe tell me which sounds better or direct me to a test of butterfly's s audio quality.
I listened to Butterfly S and One. Butterfly S has a slightly better audio quality than One, especially on flac music (tested with my Sennheiser HD25-SP as I know its music tone). However, I still prefer listen to my Sony NW-HD5 player with Sennheiser HD25-SP.
IMHO, you won't hear any difference in sound with stock headphones.
Hey XDA, I have reading through all the posts and cant seem to find a solid answer on this. Im looking for an in-ear earphones that provide amazing bass, without forgetting the sound quality. I like the original earphones that come with the samsung note 2 , they are pretty good and with some mods the bass that gets pushed out of them are actually pretty impressive. Problem is they arent durable at all, one of the earbuds always dies and only one works after a month or so. So as a wrap up I need :
*Amazing Bass as well as sound quality
*Durable
*Less then $140
Thanks !

i dont know whether u believe it r not.but these are the best earphones par better than samsung original..im using them from almost 8 months.getting better and beter.price is much lower than highrated dumb headphones
link:http://www.tekfusiontechnologies.com/twinwoofers-m-in-ear-headphones/
I would suggest posting this question in Accessories Section of XDA in Jeremy's Headphone/Earphone guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2131021
You can also look through my headphone reviews: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2192333, though my focus is on balanced audiophile sound rather than basshead sound.
The problem with exaggerated bass is that it overpowers mids and treble, and muddies the song. Typically you want to look for something that has V-shaped sound (boost in mid-bass and treble and recessed mids). If you look in my review list, you will get that from Meelec M-Duo and Sennheiser CX895 (very high quality for bass with right set of eartips). But one that I would also recommend, so don't have it myself is Shure SE-215 - it goes for about $99 (either on Amazon or Saltwater) and has removable cables to extend longevity of headphones. My personal fav which I used everyday is Westone W40 but it's $500 quad-driver with tamed bass, not a basshead. There are also a few budget options I'm trying to get review samples of, Xiaomi Pistons 2 (about $30) and Astrotec AX35 (dual driver with dynamic driver for bass and armature driver for mids/treble).
I'd recommend the Klipsh Image x10's. You can get em off amazon for $136.98 right now. Very crisp with surprisingly good bass. It'll be better than most other things out there.
If you can go another hundred bucks, you can get a pair of Sennheiser IE80s from Amazon.De (no import tax, ships to the US in about a week). They are, by far, the BEST bass you can get in an IEM with one of the largest soundstages of any pair of cans. They're worth the upgrade if you use IEMs a lot.
EDIT: Just stay away from Beats by Dre. Seriously. They're branded crap made by Monster. They have bass because they overload the lows so much it distorts everything else and the drivers arent quality so overtime the bass will get muddled and sound like crap. The X10s or a pair of Shures will sound exponentially better and are made better by people who know how to make and design headphones. You can get a beats plugin or flash a beats mod to get everything that would make any headphone sound just as crappy as a pair of $150 dres.

x10 has a quality bass, not the "basshead" quantity he is looking for Klipsch is definitely a great choice, but they are more in an audiophile category rather than "fun" category, and also their quality went down (just like UE and others).
Regarding Beats, yes, stay away from them. I wouldn't blame Monster as much since they were under a contract to manufacture these headphones rather than design them. If anybody to blame it's Dr Dre Once their contract expired in 2012 and Beats went on to manufacture their own stuff, Monster is actually pumping some quality products. I just posted review of their DNA Pro over-ear headphones (in my sig link of reviews), and the sound was top notch. I'm waiting now to receive Monster iSport Victory to check out how their new in-ears sound.
Skull Candy FJM. fits the bill, less than 24 dollars. Equalize with Viper4Android, done deal.
Monoprice 8320 "enhanced bass" or ones in the same family. It's less than $10 and they often score higher than much more expensive earphones in reviews.
Of course, with a budget of $140, you can get something better, but if the Monoprice suit you fine, well, you saved $130.
Thanks for all the suggestions everyone , I ended up getting the Meelec M-Duo and these are some solid earphones, modded some of the audio on the note 2 and its gives great bass that shakes my ears and I can still hear the song clearly, solid purchase! Thanks vectron for the tip !

Meelec makes solid products, they got top support, and quite a reputation even from audiophiles on head-fi. For $66 M-Duo is a great value.
I would recommend Audio Technica CKS77 great bass and clarity.

I´m not an audiophile and I´ve been using the bundled earphones since day one.
I think that the Note2 sound quality with these earphones is really good (the rom I use also has a lot of sound tweaks).
Do you think that the sound quality will notoriously improve using other (better) in-ear headphones? (they must be in-ear).

The sound will improve exponentially!!!!!!
Btw, you guys have to check out these $25 in-ear headphones, I just reviewed here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2671888 - you definitely get a pumping bass, decent clear sound, and full Android control including volume!!! I still can't get over it. After I received it a few days ago.

thanks for this link, I hv red through it and saw their testimonies. I believe I hv found a very good earpiece which I have been looking for.
It's peoples personal preferences on how the headphones sounds, i'm using 3 headphones, sony xba 3, ex600 and ex800st, all considered as good headphones, the xba 3 being a headphone on the moves with reasonable quality in both sound and built.
Any word on great in ear earphones that also include a mic + working android controls?

Klipsch x10 is one of ny favorite IEMs that I've tried. It's comfortable, sound great, and have good and tight bass without compromising the details of the rest of the music.

Though it's OVER THE EAR but I would recommend SENNHEISER HD 202. GREAT BASS
So I've owned my HTC One M8 for a couple of weeks now and I was wondering, what headphones are you guys using? The standard in-ear headphones are a bit crappy compared to the speakers. I was wondering if anyone has any recommendations for good in-ear headphones with a microphone and volume control if possible. I do NOT want to get the BOSE-IE2 or whatever, I've had them before though they sound great, they are poorly made in materials and mess up quite fast. If anyone recommend me any great in-ear headphones that would be great. I'm considering the Beats Tour 2.0 but I'm willing to learn about more/others
Thanks!

whats your budget and what type of frequency do you like (bass, midrage, treble) Beats are total trash for music, I would get the Bose QC20 but you said you dont want it so answer those question and I'll provide you with a better answer.
I am running some IE80's and I can tell you there is a huge difference between them and the oem ones.
If you want something cheap but really good. Look into the JVC Marshmallows. They sound great and are very inexpensive. It's great for use as a pair of headphones you don't care about beating up.

I'm not sure about types of frequency not much of an audiophile but I do want something that makes mostly any music sound nice. Also lets say my price range is around $100 give or take a few more. Not willing to go to $150

take a look at the Hifiman RE-400, they make good premium headphones, and i'm sure their in-ears are good too. don't by Beats product, unless you really love bass.

Bass is mainly for Rap and R&B if you listen to those a lot and turn your music up to deafning level to get the pounding that it offers than the beats are for you, the problem with that is, its too much, it distort the other frequency, it overwhelm the music making it sound crappy, distorted and not what the artist intend for you to hear.
Midrange are mainly for vocal jazz, you hear the voice singing (more) to you, with defining instrument being play in the background, ussually audiophile love this, midrange is a something hard to tune in a headphone. too much midrange and treble however create a fatigue listening experience.
Treble is how clear your music is typically there is no specific genre to listen to but I imagine classical is a good suit for this, Treble make the sound seem clearer, but too much treble can make the sound seem grainy and fatiguing.
the typical mainstream In-ear are "V" shape what that mean is a boost in bass and treble while the midrange stay the same or slightly recessed. with the Beats, I believe the Bass is boosted way more than the other frequency.
Head to Head-fi and read up on it, I'm a pretty Noobish myself but I'm learning
last note, you should listen to music on a moderate level, if you lose your hearing it will never return.
Westone 4r's. Sound amazing with h/k mod.

I listen to moderate amounts of rap, not sure what r&b is but no to that. I also listen to lots of LOOP so I guess I'll go for beats then?

I would go with the RE400 first, if you dont like it then you could switch. RE400 is relatively cheap!
I'd recommend the audio technica ath-M50. For superb sound under 100$. They're over ear though.
For in-ear phones , I'd recommend RHA ma350. Brilliant sound. Clear , full bass & sparkly clear trebles. Probably the best "all round" 'phones I can think of.

+1 on the RE-400. If you're a basshead, I wouldn't really recommend these. But if you're looking for earphones that give accurate sound reproduction, these are perfect.

While I know westone has a good rep for in ear audio, i think $400 is way out of the man's $150 price range lol
Velodyne vPulse for me hands down, had a year of use with them and were probably the best in-ear i've used to date.. currently using AKG K67 on-ear tiesto.. its okay but gonna upgrade to vmoda m100's hopefully over the summer
bowers and wilkins c5 hands down the best sound quality and comfort available for the price.
Go to best buy and keep buying and returning pairs till you find some you like. The wife and I both use klipsch in-ear headphones. Just Pay the $15 for insurance every time they break, (about every 3-6 months depending on the use) and get the latest model. My wife uses them 30 hours a week casually and I use them 55 hours a week landscaping. So I'm much harder on them than she is.

For anyone in the UK head to nearest John Lewis store. Buy a pair and essentially trial them for 30 days. Return them within that timeframe for another pair. Rinse repeat. They offer a no quibbles trial period and return as they realise its something you have to try out yourself.

For good recommendations on anything earphone related check out head-fi. Here's a link to all their in-ear headphone. http://www.head-fi.org/products/category/in-ear
Posted in the wrong section yesterday. Silly me.
Question is simple enough. What headphones, earbuds, or earpods are you all using with your M8? I'm looking for a durable set of audio peripherals that will last me longer than a crappy pair of skull candies. I've tried Bose SoundTrue in-ear headphones and am not sure they're something I want to keep. Feel free to comment below!
Also just out of curiosity for those of you with full size headphones. Does the M8 power them well enough? I know other smartphones struggle to provide the power needed for bigger headphones.
I use Arctic bluetooth headphones mainly and ps vita in-ear headphones good bass and clarity.Haven't use bigger headphones.

I have used these for years and struggle to find buds that match the sound quality for the money and available with a bit og hunting for about £10 uk sterling.
http://www.bestearphonesguide.co.uk/reviews/sony-mdr-ex50lp-review/#.VR8OeuHpUig
also having the right-angle jack plug is a much better and safer design in my opinion and i wouldnt buy any headphones without this feature to allow safe pocket transport!
I use those stock htc earbuds that came along with the phone, they're pretty good imo.
At home I use akg k518le headphones - very durable, light and sound very good for me. Never ever felt the need to play something on full volume, so I guess they're no problem for m8
ATH M50 for home use, the phone struggles to power them fully. For gym use I've got the Jaybird X's which are excellent.
I 'm using it with ViperOne ROM with a Kernel that supports Faux Sound. In fact this permit to raise the volume of the built-in amp (analog amp) too its maximum without any saturation. Harman Kardon mod activated. I also have Viper4android installed and i just modify dynamic bass to have powerful sub-bass. With my VMODA M100 it's the best sound i have ever had !
I used to have iriver mp3 player which i was using with Westome UM3X. Then i moved to Nexus 5 + viper + Fiio E6 + Logitech UE6000. I thought it was great. Then i did Nexus 5 + viper + ibasso T3 + Vmoda M100. Then when i got my HTC one M8 unlocked with good kernel that supports Faux Sound (which is the only tool that permits to unlock full volume abilities of the device) with Harman Kardon Mod that permits to just make the sound like Crystal then adding dynamic bass with viper4android. The sound is just awesome !!
For those who feel they lack of volume or their headphones aren't drived well, you should really install Faux Sound from Playstore (need a Kernel that support Faux Audio) it may solve your problems

Hmmm... although anyone with some spare cash would do better to invest in some better headphones. In-built EQs and effects, including Harmon Kardon, Boomsound and Faux Audio don't actually do anything other than present different ways of EQ-ing the music. They can't somehow change the hardware.
It always amazes me that we're willing to spend hundred of $ on a phone but always skimp out on decent headphones. PS if you have anything by Beats, please for the love of god sell them and get something better XD
Anyway, I have some Earsonics SM64s which I drive straight - no EQ. At some point I might invest in a portable amp, but the DAC and amp in the M8 is actually one of the highest rated in a mobile device.

I don't understand your message. I don't understand what in my message made you answering what you answered.
So let's try to make you understand what i was saying which was said to help some who may have good headphones but maybe haven't optimized their phone for it
- Firstly as i told, i had Westone UM3X earphones. It's playing in the same game that the Earsonics SM64s. If i had this earphones, and bought a HTC One M8 maybe it's cause like you i love good sound.
- Vmoda M100 is one of the rare 2 way headphones. He's famous to deliver very good sound but the main point is its abilities for BASS. I Love bass. I listen mainly to hip-hop (dj Mustard like songs) and wanted to have strong and deep bass. The Westone UM3X are awesome. However when i discovered headphones, cause i had always had earphones, i realized how the size of the headphones compared to the earphone, make it have a better soundind in my taste (Best would be to have full size speaker anytime......). I had different headphones and before the VMODA M100 i had Ultrasone PRO 900. But i prefered the Vmoda overall and especially because it needs less power to be driven and is not too big.
- I didn't talk about boomsound which is way different than Harman Kardon Clari-fi. The Clari-fi permit to restore compress audio. Maybe you should have a look here http://www.clarifisound.com/ and also give it a try without judging. Plus never forget sound is a lot about sujectivity. I know lots of people that for example don't like the Earsonics SM64s because they find it too bassy (personnaly it wouldn't annoy me at all). To finish FauxAudio is nothing about equalizing !! HTC put a built-in amp in the phone but didn't provide any application to modify the volume. That is just what FauxAudio permits to do !! So this is an important fonction ! You have digital volume and analog volume. The analog volume slider permits to act directly on the built-in amp (hardware). The digital slider is a kind of software volume modification that i don't use
- ViperAudio is very different from any EQ of any audio application cause it doesn't act on the songs but directly on the soundcard through the audio drivers(hardware)
cheers
ps: I'm french so sorry for the not so perfect english

I wasn't attacking the Westones - theyre an excellent iem. I was making a general comment that people need to invest in half decent iems (like the ones you have) and not rely on software tools. Clari-Fi is just an EQ. I know the Harmon/Karodn driver allows for high res audio to be driven, but the Clari-FI is still just an EQ. Anything that claims to 'rebuild lost details' means it has to EQ - it id a digital fact that if the detail is missing from the file, no trickery will get it back. At best it's guess based on frequency reading algorithms. It's a GOOD guess, and I know it does a good job some of the time, but it's still an EQ.
Also please can you post to the information regarding FauxAudio. I don't understand how software that's designed to be used on any phone can work directly with some sort of hardware element of a specific phone (the HTC M8 in this case) and boost analogue audio levels. I'm pretty sure this is just digital gain. Properly controlled and carefully implemented; but still digital gain.
I don't know too much about ViperAudio, but the same questions come up. What exactly does it change about the drivers? How specifically does it make audio 'better'?
Using a pair of the original LG Tone for when I'm working on cars and wires get in the way. UE Superfi 5vi when I'm out and about, V-Moda M80 for extended periods of listening and some Skullcandy Titans for throwaway beaters. Bass is not my primary concern so all these choices deliver just enough bass but also offer very good mids and highs. I drive all these straight and encode all my music from CD -> FLAC. Garbage in, garbage out is a very important aspect of audio. If you're playing off some 128 kbit/s mp3s its going to be missing definition no matter what you pump them out of.

Sony MDR V6
Sony MDR 7506
Sennheisser HD 519
Personnally I prefer the 7506 and HD 519 for over ear and the Marshall Minors. I rarely use the rest, thus the reason I need to sell them LOL
I have Sony XBA-H3 and before them I had Phillips SHE9850. I love them both but SHE9850 had less bass and was better on another kind of music than I listen now. I hate only price, SHE9850 was in that time around 100 Dollars and H3 around 200-250 ...
I'll use either a modded Denon D-5000 (over-the-ear headphone) or a JH-16 Pro IEM for home listening, and either a clapped-out set of Sennheiser HD-280Pro's (great isolation) or a Denon D-2000 at work.
That's if I don't have my FiiO X5/E12DIY combo handy...

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...
I am using Skull candy headphones for my op3
I've got the Sony MDR 10Rc and the Sennheiser cx300

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
Thanks for the replies guys but what about OnePlus Icons Graphite (the new one)

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

Wrong section. Belongs in accessories.
Beyerdynamics Byron wired headphones. Well balanced and addicted sound signature.
im using ve monk for $5 .. definetely a bang for the buck
Jaybird X3, best headphones I've had for a while, ever since I've got I didn't use any other headphones with the phone, wired or not.
Using Audio Technica m50x for a while now great headphones for the money
