You're talking about headphones, correct? I have these iems called Xtreme Xplosives by JVC which have a ton of base. Look them up on amazon, they're less than $20
Sent from my SGH-T889 using xda app-developers app
These have a ton of base too and they sound better then the factory headphones which came with the phone. Does the one you recommended have a mic for phone calls?

Jlab Audio makes some great, inexpensive headphones. you can find them on Amazon. i have the JLab 4 with microphone, and they have amazing sound. i bought the JLab 6 with microphone over the holidays for dirt cheap for my wife and daughter, and they sound great, too.

I would strongly suggest the Klipsch image one.bass is good won many awards as well....
google it
i think bose in ear headphones are hands down probably the best i have jvc, jbl, the stock samsung ones and bose and by far clarity and bass bose wins for me
I think there is a version that does. When I say it has a lot of base.. I mean a ton. Just look at the thousands of reviews and take the $15 or whatever risk. The version I have does not have a mic but for around $5 more there is one.

Apologies.. I thought we were talking over ear ones.. but in ear and I have a choice of two that I can recommend
Without Microphone
Go with SoundMagic E10.. bet you never heard of the brand .. but they are upcoming and heck they sound beautiful. As I cannot post links got to whathifi dot com and search for them. They didnt wina 5 star award for nothing!! read reviews on the net as well.. IMO they blow the apple earpods out of the water
With Microphone
The Jays a-jays one plus . Look for them on trusted reviews. They are well worth a listen too heavy on bass as well.:good:
If you want in ear, I have a set of pioneers that have blown every headphone I've ever had out of the water, including my Sony Xtra bass isolations that broke, sadly they dont make those anymore. These are $23 on newegg.
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=26-621-019
Klipsch x10 on Amazon. Only $80,they used to be $280 but a new version just came out and they dropped the price of the old, but in sound quality there is no difference. If you want some of the best earphones money can buy, buy the Klipsch x10.

I've heard they're not that good but I think they're great. They have lots of bass.
I've compared them with ridiculously priced ones from HMV (which do bounce about on your head a bit) but they have some bass on them.

Your question?
I like them too, i tried to get a replacement pair from sony chat services and they were very reluctant, they really wanted me to buy some livesound headphones from them for £79 but i got them from play.com, they are very good (bass heavy)
They are utter crap if you ask me. Sure they have some bass. But bass is far from everyting. Where's the treble? It's pretty much non existant. The difference is so huge with better earphones. Why be happy with the Sony ones when you can get other ones with better bass and much much better treble.

I removed the filters and they are loud as.
The volume is weaker when compared to my other ear phones. Sound quality wise, it's just ok (I'm not an audiophile).
I was just thinking today how good the stock headphones are. What are people expecting from stock supplied headphones?
Just looked at the MW600 and that does look sweet.
I just realised that I could plug in normal headphones without a microphone and still make and receive calls using the phones Mic
The stock ear cans do have decent bass, the problem is everything else is really really muddy and the bass is just booming there isn't much definition.

So I bought Skullcandy Uprock today and I can say that the audio quality I am getting is definitely 1000 times better than stock headphones. I listen to dubstep, liquid dnb etc. Been the best choice for me and its definitely worth the price. Recommend this product to all Lil'G Users.

It's a big gimmick. It just an audio preset. It's like hitting the "pop" button on your stereo, seems like we're getting ripped off of a true equalizer just to get a stupid preset I can't even use with my bluetooth headphones. The whole beats brand is stupid. Here's some washed up rappers headphones made by a company known for overpriced overrated hdmi cables. And of course the headphones are like $200 for a set of earphones that look no better than a cheap pair of sonys.
HTCs investment in them just shows their ignorance.

Agreed...beats suck and are overrated (both the audio and the headphones/earbuds...everything beats sucks-and if you like them then you've never truly heard good quality music)
Anyways...I have playerpro for my music...it has an equalizzer in it that I use...not the best but it gets the job done...just wish I could save money for some real headphones (wanna get ath m50s) my bro has a few really nice pairs since he DJs and produces progressive house songs
Although...I still like dre...his recent song "The Recipe"(actually not really his...) was pretty good, and the chronic 2001 will always be near the top of my favorite rap albums

Of course they are gonna distort your car speakers. Using an equalizer on nonamplified or crossovered or bass blocked wal-mart speakers are gonna make terrible noises. Quality speakers + Amp + Crossovers = studio quality sound

While I wouldn't buy the headphones, what I suggest for a nice sound is a battery hog on most phones...
Download Equalizer by Smart Android Apps,LLC
Turn on Beats Audio and bucket out the EQ..Rock presets usually do this. Bucket out the middle a tiny bit more to your liking. Raise the high end and bass too..
Put on some dope ass headphones that are over-ear, not ear buds because you wont get the quality.
Without Beats Audio working, even with an EQ it will sound a bit flatter. B/A is an enhancer sorta like WMP used to come with.
I thought Beats Audio was lame and would leave it off, but after using it, it sounds pretty good to me
Final step: turn the volume up to your favorite fast punk tunes. Hip Hop and top-40 wont sound as good. Anything by Lady-Gaga will break your phone and melt your ears.
Cheers!

I just wish my friends would stop treating beats like best thing ever. They look good (the headphones not my friends ) but that's all. I don't see the point of paying $100 for a pair of headphones unless you work with music at a editing level and at that point there are better headphones made professionally for this duty. I find my stock GS3 headphones to be amazing.
HTC incorporating them into their phones is a different story: an equalizer is a good thing and it's a good business move since people ARE that dumb to find an excuse to pay for such products.

I don't work with music...and I have a $200 pair of headphones (did get them on sale for $150)...I just like amazing sound quality...no they are not beats cause as you said beats only look good. I got audio technica ATH-M50s.
If you really enjoy quality music then nice headphones are worth the investment...you'd be surprised all the extra "sounds" you hear with a quality pair of headphones...
Basically you don't need to be working with music in order to have a need for $100+ headphones...just a love for music
If I wasn't so into androids and software development I probably would be a house music producer...my bro is a hobby DJ and a hobby progressive house producer...I tried my hand at making some house songs and I just couldn't find the time to figure those programs out....a lot harder then it looks (coming from a guy that works with android from source...)
BTW...I wouldn't say I'm an audiophile, but I am the kinda guy who won't download or buy any music that's under 320 kbps...even before I got nice headphones I could tell the difference...now that I do...that difference in quality is huge
Didn't really mean to rant lol but I think I've made my point...Headphones are worth the $100+

Did you get this already, I didn't think they were out? Man i want one of these bad.
For anyone interested. I've had this for over a week. I must say I am highly impressed with this thing. Smaller than I expected. Great sound and no distortion. I'm no audiophile by any means but this little thing rocks. I've had no issues with it connecting to other devices from Ipad, Kindle FireHD, or Ipod. Only thing is the Ipad wouldn't control the audio volume, had to use the hard keys on the speaker. Very happy with the purchase. With shipping it was $126 off of ebay. Shipping was 18.00 from Japan.
I got one of these for my wife and its great. Shipping from Japan took about a week. Its easy even for her, all she has to do is tap it with the NFC. The sound is loud and clear. This is the best accessory I have seen.

not the best sounding, but decent. I like my lg hbs 730 for bike riding. No wires to get in the way and stays on my neck very nicely.
I highly recommend you Philips Fidelio M1BTBL headphone! It's pretty expensive but boy. What a sound. I have 14 different sorts of headphones (I work for a music company) but this is my personal favorite. Battery lifetime is good, the noise reduction is perfect, real good monitoring of high and low ends. And it fits really comfortable!
And of course easy pairing with the m8..

What are you going to be doing with the headphones? Biking running lifting walking ?
I just bought the Motorola S305 headphones, they're $50 at Best Buy, but they will price match Amazon ($35), by far the best deal for the money. Battery life is not that great - 4 hours of talk time (listed specs), music playback is probably a little bit longer. They do charge very fast though. Range also isn't very good from my experience (phone is always in my pocket anyway), but that probably has more to do with HTC Sense which always has some type of issues with bluetooth...but like I said, best deal for the money.
I use it only for biking.

Ive also been looking into bluetooth ear buds, for work related reasons its not great to have wires hanging everywhere, Ive been looking at the Plantronics Backbeat go 2's the price doesnt seem too awful and the look to perform like other earbuds
I got these for about $20 AUD recently.
Looks like they sold out at the moment, but I am sure they will get more.
They sound good enough for what I need them for - work phone calls at home and a bit of music. And they come with a pair of detachable ear loops to keep the earphones in your ears while exercising.

I have two pairs of Soul SV3 bluetooth headphones. A lot of bad reviews on Amazon for the earpad covers not being glued on well, but when I got the silver ones they were $40. These are basically knockoffs of Beats, so not for running. One of the many followers that attached a rapper's name to their $200 headphones. These no longer endorsed by Ludacris. Personally I haven't had any problems with the earpad covers. They could've have done a neater job, but they are still glued on after a month of daily use. They have bluetooth 4.0 for better battery life and Apt-X which the HTC One M8 supports for better bluetooth audio. They also have a detachable audio cable and are nicely packaged. Definitely weren't intended to be sold for $40.
