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.

I've been using MEElectronics m6p and I think they're great. Search around for the best price. I got a great price off eBay. A while back.

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

Sony MH-EX300AP- Hit or Miss??!!

Hi all, the Z and ZL comes with a MH-EX300AP range of Earphones. Sony claims that it handles rich bass and is a premium one designed exclusively for the Z and ZL. Does it proves what Sony claims? My opinion is that it gives a respectful and a decent job compared to many stock ones provided! But what do you guys think? Do you use them or have a separate buds/cans? Post your opinions below. If you have been using the stock ones, tell us how do you feel and how it's performance were according to you, was it up to your expected mark and such. You can also mention some great earphone-headphone combos that goes with the Z/ZL well and which you've been using.:good:
BTW I am using my Klipsch Image S4 with Z, they literally rock with walkman!
This might help someone who are in the lookout for decent pair of buds/cans for Z/ZL

i just bought mw1 bluetooth wireless headset pro and I'm loving it....
headset is really good loud music volume and good basses !! also it shows sms on its screen and reads if want to hear, also I can read titles of my mails from heatsets screen too. and one more thing that you can do is to see calls log list of your device and call anyone from that list without touching the phone
now I don't need to open my phones flaps at all I have charging dock and if I want to upload some files to phone I just use airdroid and works like a charm.

Sound is great when they are in but The buds aren't working for me I can barely move with them in so I'm getting some over the ear NFC ones next month.

On my second set of buds now and not much better, unless there are extra large buds I can buy I can't be dealing with them. Might go give them to my mother with the last set as they are meant to be worth £55.

Yes they are, in India Sony gave up a cheap pair of Headphones which don't actually sound at all when compared to the one given in UK! So when compared to those and those stock ones which came with my arc, these sound better must admit. Lack of volume button is a glaring omission though!

Though thinking of buying those soon! A bit on the costlier side, but worth it!

They are excellent for bundled headphones, but they are so unbelievably quiet.

I find them crackly/distorted and way too quiet, but they do have good bass if not overpowering bass. Sticking with my Shure buds though, better clarity

They are quite though, but they never sounded distorted to me!

I made a little comparison with my other 3 sets . I'm using pureXaudio v4, with Noozxoide musicFX ,
MH-EX300AP
They're not bad , actually very nice to listen to , but way too quiet. I find them comfortable to wear ,and good fit if i switch left-right HP, and lead the cables behind my ears. Bass is ok, nothing special, but atleast it's not overpowering the higher frequencies . MIdrange is the best part of them i would say. They don't respond that well when changing settings in noozxoide mfx. You can't hear much difference between effects
Sennheiser CX300-II
If you're in search for relativly cheap upgrade from stock sony one's, i wound say this is a way to go. Loud enough ,out of the box they are to "boomy", but by clicking the "soft clipping compressor" option in Nmfx gets them similar sounding to sony one's , but with much better bass response.You do get clearer sound in sony mx-ex300ap.. Those of you that are bass hungry would be very satistifed with them .
NCredible NErgy by Monster
Complete opposite to CX300-II,and much louder that ex300ap. . Bass is not their strong side(better that sony thought),, but voices are a real joy listening to. If your into rock and easy listening , these one are for you . Downside ? Pricey and you'll often find yourself dialing down the treble .
Sennheiser IE80
You can't really compare them to the others ,cause they can sound like whatever headphones you would like them to be , Louder than any IEM's i have ever tried , and even thought the bass is stronger than on cx300, it's not overwhelming ,and you can always hear vocals and background stuff loud and clear .(oh ,and the price bit, but i got them for like 300$, so i don't regret any $ spend . So ,if you really want to change your experience on listening to the music on portable devices, get one of these if you find a good deal

They might not be the best but they're certainly the best earphones I've ever got bundled with a phone. For me there's is no need to change them as they satisfy my needs perfectly. Period.
PS. I am going to buy SBH20 bluetooth headset and use EX300AP with it though.

They range on ebay from 350$-500$, but i would rather look up for them is some local store, and get extended warranty if possible .I have 5years on mine I got IE80 after 2 warranty claims on ie8 in short time(they were discontinued) . Those happened while i was having nokia e72, so i think there was something really wrong with output connection on nokia, as they also messed up another pair of cx300. 3 years ago this headphones were much cheaper (almost 200$), so that's the reason i got mine for under 300$.

Search Google for head-fi forums/audiophile forums . They have threads with comparisons and testing. I have read ( dont remb which forum) a thread in which they compared about 100-200 heads/in ears ranging from cheep china ones to akg's 1800$ kid!!! . Seriously most of the stock in ears that comes with phones lacks the juice. I own 3 headphones and 5 in ears. And none of them are stocks that comes with phones. I also have a beats in ear which comes with htc( i think its a over rated adv) . And a nokia in ear ( i re-wired it to suit my htc/computer. I use it for sleeping coz its flat cable is much more stronger , and wont break easily if i sleep over it.. , also it sounds enough for its price). A samsung one( broken cable), an old Sony Ericsson hpm 70( my fav one at that time, still i keep them). Enough story!
My fave is xba 4 sony . Cost almost 8000 Indian rupee!!! ( lol that was a tight one for some fresh engineer, it was about ⅓ of my salary!!!) . And i earned my passion for now, future plan is an AKG with a tube amp for it.

I was shocked when I learned that these headphones doesn't have volume controls !!
After doing some search I found that there's no standard for volume controls, so headphones should be design for specific devices only.. there's no standard even between Android devices from different companies, IE Samsung headphones volume controls does not work on Sony mobile phones and so on ( I've checked Note 2 headphones on Xperia S, audio is okay, answer key is working but not volume keys )...
I think that's why Sony is not thinking seriously with these volume keys even for a good bundled headphones like these... but this problem should not stop them I think it will be better to use Apple standards as Sony already have some products that are iPhone compatible and in the same time there's a huge market of headphones that are made for iProducts, they just need to support it in their devices.. unless there's some legal things and if Apple want some licensing thing for such silly thing then no... but if there's nothing then what ever is popular is good
The only thing I can think that will be compatible with all devices is to use a stereo bluetooth headset...

I'm not sure what level of sound quality you're looking for, but a refurbished pair of Motorola S10HDs will pop up on woot.com every couple of weeks for 25$. I picked a pair up, and they're not the best sounding headphones in the world, but they work very well.

You should get something from jaybirdgear. Their headphones are sweat proof they have earbud versions as well. Personally I have a pair of the sportsband 2 and the Blue Buds X. The Blue Buds are realy expensive the Sportsband is only like $100
They both sound very good but blue buds have some of the crispest sound I've ever heard.

I second the bluebud X's. For the price they are expensive but I barely use my soul sl99's or other headphones anymore.

Hmm, reading Amazon comments about LG 700 vs 730. People are saying 730 will have better sound quality and other fancier controls, BUT they keep cutting out and loosing connection in comparison to 700? I can't figure out if that's in case of people just leaving their phone 10ft away or when you have your phone in the pocket and/or desk next to you and connection breaking up? Can anybody comment on that?

That hasn't been my experience at all. Great range for me. When I used them at the gym I'd frequently walk away from my phone and the sound wouldn't break up until I was halfway across the gym floor (which is a substantial distance)

Can you use the lg tone 730's with google navigation and hear the directions?
If you are listening to music and the navigation speaks will the lg tone 730's pass on the navigation info or just continue the music?

I just bought some Henson Audio BT033 (I think that is the model) and am very impressed with them.
Not earbuds, great bass and tone. Strong volume and they fold away. They have AVRCP controls on them that work fine. They charge via micro usb and have a 3.5mm Jack connection if you don't want to use Bluetooth.
Finally, great for calls with the built in Mic.

[Q] Best in ear headphones for the Z?

Hi there. Since I am not happy with the bundled headphones (the main problem is the volume, it is far from enough), I decided to buy better ones.
What do you recommend?

Right. I listen mainly pop/rock. Since the bundled is simply not loud enough, I would need something much louder.

Well many people complain about the loudness of the XZ, try flashing ZeroFinity's soundmod. And for the ear phones I would suggest you to take a look @ headfi.org. There is no other place where you can get recommendations to what device you should buy. I also got mine after read that forum.

I just tried the XZ with a Skullcandy 50/50 and that one is way louder. Also, tested the Sony earbuds with the laptop and it is bad with it either, so it is deffinitely the earpods. I will check on headfi as well, thanks for the advice.

I'm using Shure SE215 in-ears. Would recommend them any day!
Amazing bass and nice hights when you use an EQ to finetune them a little. Also the cable is completely detachable / replaceable.
The customer support is amazing too, my old SE115 started to fail after 2,5 years of excessive use, still I got a 50% rebate when I send them in in exchange for the SE215.

Bluetooth speaker?

Hey there,
I'm looking at getting a bluetooth speaker to take with me while I am running. I'm looking for something that:
-Is somewhat waterproof
-Somewhat light (less than a pound would be nice)
-Loud enough for multiple people to hear it
-Under $100
Do you guys know of anything? I was thinking about going with the Voombox Ongo.

I've got a JBL Charge 2. Can very much recommend it.
But I think it's a bit too big and heavy for what you intend to use it for.

Sorry, it cut off the rest of the message somehow. :silly:
What the rest of the message said was that it's going to be hard to find one with those specs. Most under $99 sound distorted at a volume loud enough for multiple people in a room to hear. They can't handle the middle and low tones very well.
I think there are some cheap handsized speakers for around 40 quid with relative waterresistance, but those sound worse than your phone's own speakers.
Anything under 30 quid either needs a 3.5mm cable or sounds worse than a phone in a Pringles can.
I think the Voombox Ongo is indeed your best bet. It has a surprisingly decent sound for something so small.
