V-Moda

Right when i purchased my HTC HD2, I knew that the headset that was budled with the phone was going to be utter crap... so I decdied to go searching for the "Perfect" Headset... (Music is very important to me.. and I'm not into the Blue-Tooth headsets) so I ended up purchasing these...
V-Moda Headset
I never heard of the brand but after some research and personal use.. They are by far the best ear pieces that I have ever owned... I highly recommend these to anyone who's currently in the market for some... although they are priced a little higher then most headsets.. I say that they are worth every penny and the quality in the Sound and Looks department is apparent.
Here's their website
www.v-moda.com
5/5 *if anyone has any questions feel free to post*
Cheers

I bought a set of V-Moda's about 2 years ago when the first iPhone came out. It had a recessed headphone port, and very few headphones would fit without an adapter. I ordered a pair for about £100 as they sponsored modmyifone and were highly recommended. The sound quality is great... very bassy, and they look good too. Mine have a single button on the mic which lets me answer the call or use MSVC. They've maybe moved on a bit in the last year?
I'd definately buy another set.

Yea the model I bought came standard with a 3.5 jack... but it did have an option for you to send proof of purchase if needed and they will send you a 2.5 adapter.. which i thought was kinda cool... great product

just figured i'd add the fact that i see that Best Buy is carrying these... and there's a V-Moda sale for these premium headsets... so yea.. just incase some others are interested for rocking some nice headsets with your shiny HD2

My feedback:
I did't burn them for 50 hours yet, but I surprised, the sound is veeeery good. If you have any good experience with the sound and your want quality for a good amount, I would definitely recommend it, because this is the best choice.(I'm also proud to put them on the shelf with my Sennheiser M550 and Sennheiser HD650)
Regards.

It seems like a very good headphone. Can you confirm if the controls are fully working with SGNII please ?

so you haven't experienced good music. Try one of those or Bose In-Ear headphones. It will be a life-changer !

^ Nope. I don't use anything in-ear at all as they constantly fall out.
You'll never convince me that it costs anything close to $120 to make a pair of earbuds. The hardware inside them isn't going to cost more than a couple of bucks at the absolute maximum. You're letting yourself get ripped off.

To be honest, we're being ripped off on a daily basis starting with the price of the galaxy note II. Nowadays if a person wants a good quality product he has to PAY for it. Better to get ripped off with a decent product rather than getting ripped off with a ****ty one.

I have the older version of the s4 and they sound great....don't remember paying 120 bucks for it though....more like 40 bucks I think

Hi....can you confirm if the iphone ones work with n9te 2....I mean since we also have volume controls...I am hoping they work with note 2 as well...

Price
They're only 99 on amazon it saves 30$ and free shipping..
Happy Hunting!

But you have a €600 phone? Do you then also feel that no phone is worth more than €80? Is a €80 phone as good as the one you're now holding?
What a puzzling comment. Have you ever listened to a well-recorded SACD with good headphones (high end Sennheiser, Grado, HiFiMAN or the like?)
I guess though if you listen to Nicki Minaj in 128kbps MP3 while riding a motorcycle it doesn't matter, but once you have experienced music in high definition there is no going back.
See the difference between YouTube 240p and 1080p? That difference exists in music also.

Sorry, but there's no way EARBUDS are ever going to be that much different in quality. Proper headphones can be much better without a problem, there's plenty of space for the hardware, but not earbuds.
I've tried cheap, reasonable, and expensive ones; I can't hear any difference.
As for your phone analogy, it fails for so many reasons it'd take too long to list them.

I can sure hear the difference between €20 earbuds and good ones. No question about that. Though maybe "expensive" by your standards means Sennheiser CX-300.
I don't think it fails at all.
A Nissan Micra will also take you to the shop, but it's a noisy, uncomfortable ride compared to doing the same trip in a Volvo XC90.
You can watch House on a 17" computer monitor, and the story of the episode will be no different compared to you watching it on a nice plasma screen, but it will be more enjoyable on the plasma.
You can have a cheeseburger at McD, or a garlicy rack of lamb at a nice restaurant - both will be satisfying but I bet the rack of lamb will be a nicer experience for most people.
Those all fail miserably too, though, right?

None of those things compare to microelectronics, where really, size can and does make a difference. They cannot pack high quality, 'hi fidelity' components into a tiny space like a pair of earbuds like they've made you believe; there's a point where you hit diminishing returns in the audio reproduction. You'll get better construction, you'll get better styling, and to a limited extent, you'll get improved dynamic frequency response than the el cheapo $3.99 earbuds, but NEVER enough difference to justify such a ridiculous price difference.
The components in those $120 earbuds won't cost more then a few bucks at most. You're being ripped off and what's worse, you totally fell for the marketing BS.

If you mean the new version, they sound nice enough and the Play/Pause/Call button works, as does the Mic, but the volume buttons do not work.
Volume buttons tend to be the main thing that don't work with Android smartphones, so when somebody finds a good quality earphone with working Play/Pause/Call button as well as working volume buttons, please let me know!

If it was only marketing BS, tell me why many professionals would used expensive IEMs (often costing more than 1000$) instead of headphones ?!
It's true that usually the higher price you pay for a product the less value per $ you get, but it's the case for every single product. And it doesn't mean there is no difference between 20$ and 100$ earbuds. You probably had a bad experience that's all, don't transform anecdotal evidence into generality.

Headphone burn-in is fake by the way.

I'm in audiophile buddy and let me just say there is a huge difference between a 10 dollar pair for f****** headphones versus 100 dollar pair. it's the material that they use, what kind of driver that they use, etc...
it's kind of like car audio would you rather spend let say 40 bucks for some cabinet speakers versus maybe one that might cost you 160 dollars but they are the out most best ones you can find, superior quality and superior sound. the klipsch s4's that I have the original set they have so much bass in them just for some earbuds that they are outstanding for 70 dollars. and I have the regular samsung galaxy note 2 earbuds and they sound like s***. your cheapskate and that's the problem. it's almost like this is well he's another scenario if I buy a BMW 5 Series and I hate BMW I'm just saying if I bought a BMW 5 Series and I decided to go put some tires maybe 60 dollar tires on them let's see how that works out for you.

[Headset][Challenge][TIP] BEST headset / earphone / headphone up to €50 MAX.

Ok, as I did long ago on the sgs1 forum ( The sgs1 also comes with a Wolfson dac) and Note1 , starting same challenge here too .
There are tons of excellent headsets out there but quite pricey...
So the real challenge is to find , good quality/low price or let's say low-budget / high quality ones ( € 50,- MAX )...
I tested many and here are my tips :
the AKG K 430​

Not bad for the price huh? I paid actually 42 euros here in Holland (Makro) , it's maybe cheaper on e-bay, but who wants to wait ?
It's reasonably comfortable, foldable (3D axis - to fit the included case) and got a volume slider !
Dont ask me about durability, I just bought it ... ( Edit: Yep it's durable !)
And what a sound !
And...for the " in-ears" category I got these ones :​

I got these white replica Beats by Dr. Dre Studio from the Futian District in Shenzhen for about $48 USD (~€35), and I must say that I am very impressed with the quality of replicas. I call these 'replicas' and not 'fakes' or 'counterfeits' because of the extremely high level of accuracy they replicate the real ones at.
Let's begin!
First, fakes or counterfeits usually lack a 10-digit alphanumeric serial number on the inside of the left ear cup. Not with this pair - the sicker is present, and has a semi-matte finish just like the real ones. This serial number was also verifiable on the old Monster Beats website (now non-existent due to Monster's break-up with Beats).
Same goes with the 7-digit (one letter followed by 6 numbers) serial number on the inside of the battery cover. Most fakes have this, but not the 10-digit alphanumeric one.
External appearance and material quality-wise, this replica is spot-on. The branding on the headband is clear and not deformed, and the glossy white finish is perfectly uniform with no visible defects whatsoever.
Another thing that fakes can't get right is the spacing between the headband cushion and the stainless steel spacers between it and the matte-plastic components. Fakes will leave a noticeably wide spacing, revealing the internal headband and the wire running through it. Not with this pair! The cushion fits snugly with the bracket.
The brushed stainless steel headband extensions are very well made, and they click into place with a nice and solid click.
The box seems legit, but Dre's face is still a bit high on contrast. Who cares about the box, anyway? It's the headphone that counts.
The serial number underneath the box has a matching serial number, but the text on the left probably stands for "Monster Headphone Beats Mixr On-Ear", but whatever.
The hard case feels solid, and the zip doesn't seem like it will break easily.
Box contents are complete, with the two cables (one with mic and button, one without), 3.5 to 6.3 mm adapter and flight adapter. It also comes with shrink-wrapped AAA Duracells. The clean cloth has nice stitching around the edges.
Now onto the internal components. This replica uses the exact same speaker drivers, noise cancelling microphones (one in each ear cup) and active noise cancelling amplifier circuit as the real ones. This means they have the exact same audible range (20-20,000 Hz) and the same bass-heavy audio (but surprisingly less muddy than the real ones). The circuit does a mediocre job at noise cancelling, also having the same noisy hiss like the real ones.
As seen here, the circuit board is like a clone of the real one, seen in comparison with an official picture. It even has the same dual-color LED that changes color when the battery is low. The only difference I can see is the Monster branding on the power switch.
The circuit board mainly uses two ICs to achieve the unique Beats EQ effect - the Maxim Integrated MAX4410EUD+ 141 and two ON Semiconductor MC33202 (ALGW?) ICs. The Maxim provides a -3 dB high-pass filter to decrease treble (thereby increasing bass). I'm not sure what is responsible for the ANC though, the 33202's look like they're independent amps driving the left and right channels.
...And all of this for only €35! Definitely 'beats' the €200-€300 price of the real ones.

AWESOME reply!!! That is my kind of review with a circuit analysis
Guess what? I have this guy coming to me in the mail next week: http://dx.com/p/syllable-g04-201-wired-game-headphones-w-microphone-for-iphone-4-4s-red-black-194551 - will review it in details here. I think they switched from putting Beats label to using "Syllable" but it's exactly the same thing, the one you just reviewed. I can't wait to examine it and to review the sound quality!!!

Yess...can't wait for your confirmation report and how long it took to arrive, since you it's going to shipped to Holland where I also live..
Thanks guys

Can you post a link to the beats replicas??

I actually bought the aforementioned pair in person when on a trip to Hong Kong, since the Futian District is very close from there. I've bought them online before though, and I can say that it's better to buy in person.
Their online store is on AliExpress, called 'Wecome Technology'. You'll need to make an AliExpress account, then contact Ms. Angel Wu from the store, and ask for a Beats Headphone Catalog. They also sell other headphones like Bose QC15, B&W P5 and some Skullcandy sets. If you're interested in those, ask for a 'Hotsell headphone catalog'.
There are a few grades of copy headphones; in every case, aim to buy the higher quality/more expensive one. I bought a cheaper silver Monster Beats Studio before, and the colors were very inaccurate. The silver version shouldn't have red at all anywhere on the headphone.
Anyway, the combined cost of one (Studio) headphone should be $60-70 USD including EMS shipping costs. The Mixr and Solos are cheaper, at around $40-$50 total.

I'd like to know too. I doubt it's going to be exactly the same thing, since there are countless factories making these headphones. The Syllables might have darker gray matte-plastic components, or the ear cup can slide side to side (not fixed in the center). I think that if the manufacturer isn't going to put the real logo on, then quality/accuracy might not be the best.

Are you referring to how long my purchase will take to arrive? Its coming to US from China, and since I review products for these guys, they usually send it to me using complimentary EMS service which is fast. But they also have a free shipping option (at least to US) which probably takes a few weeks just like any other typical ebay purchase.
But for sure I'm looking forward to review this pair of cans.

Just from all the pictures on dx site comparing to the one posted in this thread. I will know for sure once I have it; will do a more up close comparison and might even take a cap off to see the circuit underneath.
Beats really put a pressure on all SH retailers for selling knock off stuff. I have received and reviewed before Beats headphone knock off (from case-parts.com/tvc-mall.com), those were identical to the real thing. Now, they can't sell these on-line because of legal actions So, I assume they all changed the name to "Syllable" and just modified "b" in there to a funky looking "s" which from a distance looks the same. But you can see its an exact looking headphones: http://dx.com/s/syllable . This version has battery for active noise cancellation (just like 2012 version of beats), while the latest 2013 Beats are rechargeable, btw.
The question now, how does it sound... The look is nothing without a sound.

As I mentioned in my previous post, Beats lawyer are all over the on-line places that sell and ship to US knock offs of their products. I assume that's what triggered "Syllable" change (http://dx.com/s/syllable). Again, it's also my assumption these will be identical to the one in your picture because of the price. DX has some of the cheapest prices, down to ebay level, so if they price cans for $60 - its gotta be quality. So, once I'm going to receive those, I will do a very careful examination and pictures using your post as a reference to determine if all the details are the same. Sounds like you done a great study and have an extensive experience with those knock offs. Wow, and you got so many of those already? Do you have real Beats as well? Were you comparing it to real beats? You mentioned sound quality was better, so again I assume you have real $300 Beats and can do a/b comparison. Awhile back I received one of the beat earbud knock offs, back when case-parts.com use to carry it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=38727543&postcount=14&nocache=1&z=815327974430631 - I wasn't impressed with a sound, but everybody said that's exactly how real beats sound. At the same time, I also ordered and compared Otterbox Defender from them, and next to the real one - it was identical. I guess you can replicate physical parts, and maybe do reverse engineering on a circuit, but the drivers itself? wouldn't that be tough to match?

I own or have owned three pairs of Beats; a black Beats Studio that I got from Harvey Norman about 18 months ago in Australia - back then they were $499 AUD. The price since then has rapidly dropped to $399, then $369, $299 and now $249. I also have a pair of Executives bought from the Apple Store close to its release date, and owned a pair of Beats Pro Detox before selling it because it was too heavy and clamped my head like a vice.
The Beats Executive broke at the headband hinge, and is now in pieces. The circuit board seems to be more or less the same as the Studio's, but has three screw holes instead of two. It is also mounted upside down.
As for the speaker driver, I'd say the speakers are nearly identical after closer inspection. The only difference is the color of the paper that covers the holes on the back of the driver (and coverage on the bottom left hole) . The driver and microphone itself (paper aside) are identical, all down to the magnet dome curvature, red permanent marker mark in the same location and the gap size where the speaker coil joins up with the +/- contacts.
Fun fact: the speaker driver of all Beats models are actually identical to each other. For example, the Solo HD drivers are interchangeable with those of the Detox.
The only difference is probably the paper behind the driver and the dual-speaker design of the Solo HDs (the circuit is a highpass/lowpass filter that sends highs to the tweeter that sits inside the apex of the speaker cage as seen in the above image).

It's like I'm revealing all of Beats' trade secrets here...

Neah, you are revealing that these headphones cost probably $40 to manufacture (considering HK shops have a very small profit margin since they sell in quantity), and Dr Dre and Co. have $250-$350 markup to pocket money with a brilliant brainwashing campaign. I had someone at my work just mentioning that his 14 year old wants to buy $300 beats, and he doesn't what to tell him. So, I sent him link to Syllable. He is waiting for me to review it. Beside carbon copy design, from a distance even that "s" label looks like "b". I told him it will be safe for his kid to wear it on a street; if he gets jumped - they will see he has a fake ones.
I'm happy to hear the sound quality is on par. Really can't wait to get these and test is out. I will not have a comparison reference, unless I go to a local Best Buy, but will judge it based on my own ears and every other headphone I listened to before.
Thanks m8 for all your insights, comparison, and circuit details - really appreciate that!

That's the thing though - Beats is all about brand and image. Your colleague's son, being a 14 year-old, will probably not settle for the Syllables due to the fear of being branded by his peers as a cheapo or a wannabe or something like that.
Oh yes and about being jumped; people who can differentiate the Syllables from Beats are not the type of people who jump other people. But the people who would jump someone for their Beats probably won't be able to tell at first glance, resulting in being jumped for having Syllables. All it takes is a mistaken view from a distance, then a swift snatch by the headband straight off the head while running past from behind.

Anyway back on topic. I also recommend the JVC HA-S500 and the Audio Technica ATH-M30. And also the replica Bose OE2i from that AliExpress store. The carry case for the OE2i is about the size of 10 CDs stacked on top of one another. The replicas reproduce around 75% of the real thing's sound quality/clarity, and 95% of the material quality. (tested at a Bose outlet store)
JVC HA-S500 (€40-€45)
Audio Technica ATH-M30 (if you're lucky, about €50)
Bose OE2i (replicas - about €40)

But AliExpress stores don't accept PayPal, at least the ones I have dealt with before. It always makes me anxious to give them my credit card number.

Yes, that's true. But AliExpress is one of the more trustworthy sites because it is a subsidiary of Alibaba, one of the largest wholesale internet trade websites in the world. If a seller is being dishonest, you can open a dispute or report them. It can affect other potential costumer's view of the seller, and they don't want that.

Review of Jaybird BlueBuds X Bluetooth wireless headphones w/pics!!!

This is a review for Jaybird BlueBuds X Bluetooth wireless headphones: http://www.jaybirdgear.com/bluebuds-x-bluetooth-headphones/
I'm going to be honest with you, I was skeptical when I approached the review these buds. People say not to judge the book by it's cover - the cover for this "book" was a premium price tag and heavy connection with athletic world. I wasn't really sure how it's going to fit with everyday use (not just sports), how will it integrate with Android phone such as Note 2 (considering Apple store is one of their top authorized resellers), and in general how comfortable it's going to fit. Sound quality wasn't even at the top of my expectation list, just hoping it wasn't influenced by yet another music celebrity who thinks we only care about exaggerated bass. With all that said, I got a review sample directly from Jaybird and have been testing it for the last couple of days.
First, let's start with a packaging it came in. In additional to original retail package, I also received a small traveling case which is definitely of a premium quality that kind of sets the tone of what to expect. That was a top notch premium box with a magnetic flap that opens up to reveal the goodies available inside. I know you want to read more about headphones itself, but I have to mention this is a very high quality packaging on par, if not even better, with some of the best top price headphones. Everything from a little rectangular box with manual book and a separate 20% liquipel coupon (to use for any of your other gadget since BlueBuds X already comes protected by Liquipel nano sweat/water repellent), to another hard clam case that looks like something for your wife's jewelries, and even usb to micro-usb cable with a custom flat noodle cable, something I have never seen before. It was very impressive!!!
But package aside, if headphones doesn't deliver - nothing else matters. In this case headphones itself are just a pair of beefy size earbuds that come with 3 sets of tips and another three sets of cushion wings to mix'n'match for a comfortable fit, and also a pair of wire clips. Earbuds are interconnected with a narrow flat rubber ribbon hosting the wires and in-line remote with 3 buttons. It looks very minimalistic, yet packs a huge powerhouse of technology. I didn't even bother reading instructions thinking I'm going to figure out how it works by myself, until I stumble across where the heck am I going to stick micro-usb cable? Device was probably pre-charged already, but still? After fumbling around for a few minutes, I had to open manual book to read about it. Actually the back of one of the earbuds pops open to reveal hidden micro-usb connector. I quickly installed the medium size ear tip and proceeded to pair these up with my Note 2. It was effortless and look really seconds to recognize and pair up with a phone, no need to enter any codes, etc. Right away I tried making phone call, check the dialing by voice, adjust the volume up/down, redial last number, etc. - all the typical voice functions. Everything worked as expected. Then, I decided to test multimedia controls. Playing songs, controlling play/pause, skip to next/prev track, watching videos, playing video games, controlling volume (not the actual volume of the phone, but a typical min/max range of bt stereo headphones) - everything works perfect. No pauses, no breaks or stuttering, no delays, and everything was in perfect sync. I also tested the range of bt connection by leaving the phone on the kitchen table while walking around first floor, going upstairs to a second floor and down to a basement where I observed coverage on par with other bt stereo headphones I've tested.
One thing was bothering me, the sound wasn't as good as I would expect. I selected medium size tips by default, but apparently that was a cause of my problem because it didn't create a proper ear canal seal. As soon as I switched to large tips - WOW!!! I couldn't believe my ears!!! Yeah, it was that good with every detail of the sound coming right at you in almost surround like stereo sound, everything from crisply highs to super clean mids and down to deep lows. With a properly selected tip to seal your ear canal - you are in for a big treat where drivers of these headphones deliver a full rich frequency spectrum of the sound. I know Jaybird mentions a special Shift Premium Bluetooth Audio technology. But no matter what digital protocol you use to enhance the sound, if your drivers can't deliver it - nothing will help. I also decided to figure out which wing cushion to select, and that turned out to be less painful than I thought, where those are actually soft hex perforated wings that hug into the surface of your ear and give you an extra support to keep earbuds from falling out when you run/jump. I mean, those should stay in by themselves, but considering intention of these earbuds to be used with extreme sports - cushion wings are a bonus. Earbuds itself could be worn in two different ways, normal under ear and also over ear. Under ear you can just let chord hang on the back of your neck/shoulders. With over the ear you have an option to use 2 provided clips to snake the excess cord around to shorten it up (like in the last picture I have below).
As I mentioned before, these earbuds are treated with water/sweat repellent Liquipel technology, and I actually tested it out by spraying some water on the cord - water stayed in little droplets. So it definitely will work if you are sweating a lot during exercise or went running under a light rain. So, how about using it in a different environment, just at work or outside while running errands? I believe it's doable. Because of the relatively short cord and rubber material, you can leave these earbuds dangling around and down without a worry they will slip and fall of your neck. It's not going to be as secure like a necklace option, but it can definitely work. Also, if they are dangling down and you get a call, there will be a short pause while you are getting these inserted properly into your ears. It's not as easy as just putting basic earbuds in. So that something you need to work with to figure out the best optimal use. Also, due to a proper ear seal, you get a good basic outside sound isolation, so I wouldn't recommend walking around with these in all the time. My concern is not ear fatigue, but rather not being able to hear what's going on around you. BlueBuds X are definitely designed with sport use in mind, but there is definitely a lot of room for these in everyday life as well. Just for the sound quality itself and how comfortable they fit in - at the current moment with all the headphones (wired and wireless I have) I can't imagine listening to music, or watching the movie, or playing the games with anything else. And on top of that you also get 8 hours of battery life which is incredible considering you only deal with two earbuds connected by a cord.
What can I say, I was VERY impressed with an experience of using these BlueBuds X headphones. Can I say they are a must-have accessory for Note 2? Absolutely not. These are premium bluetooth stereo headphones with a relatively premium price in comparison to other headphones in the same category. It's just like I said in my other reviews where tempered glass is a premium options where you have other much cheaper choices. You can get wired headphones for a tiny fraction of these buds. You can get stereo bt headphones for a fraction of the price as well. But out of everything I have tested so far (and my testing headphones journey is not done yet) these stand head and shoulders above competition in sound quality, integrated phone and audio controls, complete compatibility with our Note 2, and also the best solution for an active lifestyle!
Now, here comes some pictures for your enjoyment!

I use these headphones almost everyday.
One thing I'll tell you guys is that you MUST MUST MUST get some comply ear tips. They make a huge difference in terms of isolation and comfort.

I used to have my ears hurting after like 2 hrs+ of wearing them. Now I can wear them almost all day while at work.

Oh, I had these for other headphones long time ago. Those were like soft earplugs. Actually still have it, but for a small inner core diameter. I just tried them, too small to fit on blue buds. I assume your link about for tsx/tx are for a bigger diameter? I'm not talking about outside shape, but inner diameter of flexible core. Which one did you find to fit?

So the TSX and TX 500 lines are ones that Comply says specifically fit the JayBird BlueBud's X. One provides superior isolation, the other provides superior comfort. I found that in terms of isolation their about the same with the TX ones having slightly more isolation if you aren't playing anything but when you have music playing (you'll definitely have to get used to having things at a relatively low volume due to the isolation.) it doesn't matter all that much. They both feel relatively the same to me but everyone's different.
I personally first ordered a trial pack that had all 3 sizes and I found that the mediums fit the best with my ears. Honestly there's no easy way to figure out what size you are without really trying all 3. The other sizes I just gave away.

The 500 series is indeed the one that the inner diameter fits the Bluebuds X, its a bit tight first I thought it won't fit, but after couple tries, it's actually went in and fits theBluebuds X.

I don't know how it will be in a long run, but for right now I'm OK with original ear tips supplied with these. Watched a few movies/tv shows for over an hour and it was very comfortable and no ear fatigue. You also get a decent noise isolation, which is obviously not an active noise cancellation but rather a isolation by nature of these fitting into your ear. Also, while making a phone call people suggested they can hear me very loud and clear, although while making calls I hear people back in a little "tunnel" sound. Not echo or delay or distortion, just sounded a little distant. Probably depends on how I have them sitting in my ears, in under-ear position. If I'm not mistaken, JayBird has a note they don't even recommend phone calls with over the ear position. I wonder if that's due to mic placement?

thanks for the great review, i've been thinking of buying these for a very long time, but one thing stopped me which is a problem for all Bluetooth headphones with Android.
this thing is there is an audio delay when playing games (little less than 1 second), but this delay is enough to make playing games very annoying as for example when you press the shoot button in a game, you will hear the shot after 1 second.
Can you confirm whether this issue is solved with the Bluebuds X ? if yes i am gonna buy it today itself
please go ahead and try a game like "Dead Trigger" and come back to me on whether there is an audio delay or not with games
Thanks a lot.............

Ok, will try this game and report it to you later tonight.

very good review, if this phone had FM radio would be perfect.

Good review. I'd like to see a comparison between these and the Sony ones that came before it. To see how they are better in terms of range, sound quality and general usability.

Sorry to be pushy but I am now going to buy this bluetooth headset based on your reply.
So you confirm that when you press the fire button in dead trigger, you immediately hear the fire sound? There is no delay (less than1 second) none whatsoever?
Thanks again and sorry for being pushy.

I'm not here to sell headphones and don't care if you buy it or not. I'm just sharing my experience so you guys can make an educated decision or narrow down the choices. I don't play games with my phone, it's used for work/business, and I actually had to install the game in order to test it out for you. I do understand your concerns and persistence to get an answer to your question, but after installing and playing this game for about 5-10min, I did not see any delay when I tap to fire the gun and hear the fire sound. I don't know what else I can say man. Could it be variation from one phone to the other? Possible. Someone reported about using Tone+ headphones and getting delays in video or buffering/stuttering, while I didn't experience that problem. BlueBudsX is expensive purchase, I understand. So if you decide to invest you money into this product, if something doesn't work you can always return it back. Like I said, you can have a different experience with the same phone and headphones from what I see, due to other apps you have, ROM, general config of the phone, etc. Good luck!

thanks

The one you mentioned looks like an old product from 2009, discontinued already. So perhaps someone else can chime if they had these before? From Amazon reviews it looks like a good product, ahead of it's time back in 2009 but in comparison to BlueBuds X I don't think it stacks up. I would assume sound quality could be on par, although I'm very impressed with buds X. Then, Sony ones had a proprietary bulky charger, short battery life, and some durability problems. Only time with tell with buds x, but so far first week impression is very good. I'm also trying to get review samples of a.m.p ISO for a comparison since it was mentioned in another thread as a worthy alternative.

fair enough. These are actually an old product, although I still have mine functional even after once dropping them in knee high water. I have only two gripes with them:
1. Short battery life ~2hours
2. Short range and prone to interference: For example they would occasionally jitter in a gym on a busy day. Also occasional skipping if the phone goes more than 2 meters away or if you're passing near high tension lines.
I switched to MW600, which seem to last forever ~5hours+ and while they aren't as minimalist, you do get an OLED display.
Overall it sounds like the bluebuds are worth giving a try.
Thanks

Best Headphones for LG G2

You can look into the Shure SE215 but they cost more with the mic. I think it it all comes down to your budget but if your considering sound quality to be important you'll have to put down some serious coin.

Thanks allot guys for all the quick reply's..
Has anybody heard of the Quadbeat 2 headphones they say it was made for the G2

They came with my G2, international version, in the box.
Decent in ear headphones as compared to others (Apple, Samsung), offers pretty good noise isolation but lacking in bass.
You can get them on eBay for about 20 dollars, I heard. Plastic build, wire gets stained easily since it's rubber. Wouldn't really recommend it. But alright if you're just looking for an average pair of headphones with mic that works with the G2.

That's great to know. glade I didn't get it now.. I have a $12 credit with buydig.com and notice they have a sennheiser cx 275 on sale for $24. I have a sennheiser cx 215 w/o mic and it sounds amazing so I figure this would sound just as good and with a mic. SO I guess i'll try that with my G2 and the poweramp app.. I also should of mention that this will be mostly used at work around dust so I really don't want anything over price for that.

I'm using a-JAYS-Four with powerAMP.
Awesome for me.

Not a fan of the in ear headphones. Can anyone suggest regular headphones? What's a good one to get?

I tried alot of earphones using the stock Music app, and the bass was just sorely lacking... I ended up buying the Coloud Pop. They are insanely cheap, and offers enough thump to deliver the bass that the software lacks. I love them colors too.

Same here. I've had the shure se215LE for a year now and just went and compared them with the 535 and 435 in store and didn't hear a reason to upgrade. I do use Viper for Android 's root app though which levels the playing field. Aside- If you want quality sound from your phone, it makes all the difference. I feel like half my sound comes from the headphones and half from V4A. Let me put it this way... it's good enough to make a $120 pair sound just as good, if not better, than a $500 pair.
Anyway it doesn't come with a mic, but you can easily find the inline mic attachment for about $20 online or in a store.
Klispch also still sells the s4a with a mic if I'm not mistaken, but as far as cheap in ears go, I can't recommend the Shures enough. The fit may take some getting used to in the beginning, but that would be my only concern with em
LG G2

Budget?
Are you going to get an amp?
What kind of music do you listen too?

As people mentioned here, your budget is what will determine the final outcome. You know what they say, more money->more music
As far as headphones go, i have a pair of Panasonics DJ series (can't remember exact model) and the sound is amazing. Lacks mic, but headphones are just crazy. Priced around 80-ish $. Basically, you'll want to look for old school brands like Sennheiser and you wont make a mistake.
I was using my headphones for a while but the cost to battery is just a bit too much, so i switched to Sennheiser earphones and they're just amazing! Got them for about 15€ on mad discount at Amsterdam's Media Markt rofl.
