Better than stock headphone from samsung, apple, nokia. But never can compare with a wellknown headphone.

Coming from g pro, i think quadbeat2 is better than quadbeat1. Im not expert in this case, but i think qb2 more bright. I can hear more detail instrument than qb1.

You need to figure out what you want from the headphone. I think the quadbeats if i recall are more on the bassy end. Vsonic's are closer to neutral but have good bass hit and extension unless you opt for the gr07 bass edition. Audio-Technica are known for their neutral sound with little bass. The Brainwavz m5 which are an amazing bang for the buck have a warm laid back and bassy signature. Sound Magic's i believe are a neutral sounding iem.
I own most of those iems in some degree and they are all different sounding iems.

Yeah you are right. Bass is not so important for me. ,Bass is good when you need i think. Actually i listen fm radio mostly and i am professional for headphone i am begginer. I think headphones which gives balance and neutral sound is better for me but i wanna buy which is bang for the buck. I have chance to buy quadbeat2 for 10 bucks. Is it good for balance and neutral sound and gives me bass when i need?

If you can get them for 10 dollars. I would go that route. They are 20ish new. They aren't really bass heavy but they do have bass. Nothing that will be boomy, though. Since you're mainly using them for radio i don't think you need a true analytic pair like a phonak pfe122 or re0s. I think the quads will fit the bill.
I haven't heard the new ones but i wouldn't expect much difference between the two.
I just thought this was worth a mention to anyone, the Quadbeat2 (LE530) earphones that come with the phone are probably the best bundled earphones i've used, they sound almost exactly the same as the Sennheiser CX 300 IIs, which is, good for a pair of free earphones, but you can easily buy better, I wouldn't throw these out, unlike some of the bundled sony and samsung earphones but I wouldn't go out and buy them separately either.
I have found them to be horrible.
I mostly listen to trance and house music and a little bit of slow rock and alternative music.
I'd go with the JVC Xtreme Xplosives HA-FR201V if you want good in-ear with a cheap price. they come with a mic and a controller too.
The bass might be too much but you can always control this by the equalizer in the stock music player.
I have found the bass kicks in at higher volumes, also notice considerabke increase in sound quality the more I jam them in my ears.

No one should ever buy stock headphones. I have no experience with the quadbeats personally.
I do have experience with a bunch others.
Right now the Sol Republic Jax are the best sounding sub $50 headphones you can get. They rival headphones costing twice as much.
If your on a budget I just plugged my old SkullCandy Ink'd headphones in and was pretty surprised at the sound on the G2. You can find those under $20.
Better than my sennheiser cx300. And I wish they weren't, but, once all fully set up and sitting in ear right, they are really pretty good. Even better if you use viper xhifi if rooted.
Are these any better than Dr. Dre iBeats?
Everything is better than those.

I had a fairly expensive set of ear buds,
http://www.amazon.com/V-MODA-Vibe-Earbuds-Flashback-Chrome/dp/B000K5VCUC
They sounded nice for the first 2 months, then the left side got quieter. I really can't stand anything but perfect sound from my ear buds, and uneven levels of volume is unacceptable.
I was wondering if anyone could recommend a nice pair of ear buds, with a nice bass, and good treble. Anything from 20-80 dollars.
Thanks
ipod earbuds are good enough for me.
you can try Bose http://www.bose.com/controller?event=DTC_LINKS_TARGET_EVENT&DTCLinkID=7467&perfsourceid=k9677&src=k9677
I use Koss "The Plug". They have great bass and treble, but mid too weak. There is also a problem for some people to use this kind of earphones (takes some time to put them in your ears). However, this is one of cheapest Koss models (15$). I guess some better model would do just fine. If not, there is always Senheiser, Shure.... Earphones like this are mostly used by some kind of audiophiles, so you will easily find some nice reviews on any of them.
I am looking for a good set of in ear headphones to replace my Dr. Dre beats. I know some on here have commented on said headphones in a negative light, but they do have great bass, but not so great treble. Also, they always seem to slip out of my ear.
Can someone point me in the direction of a good set of in ear headphones. Ones that would be wrap around the ear would be even better. I have been looking at some of the Shure headphones, but have yet to pull the trigger.
Any recommendations would be great, even better with somewhat of an explanation as to why I should get the suggested headphones and any personal experience with your own.
Thank you, MSD
Shure all the way. The more you spend, the better quality you get (SE 535 are amazing). Second goes to Etymotic Research ER4 line.
Either are light-years beyond all other in-ears.
This from a Sennheiser HD800 headphone fan.
-Adam
I just bought bose MIE2 mobile headset for 140 bucks at best buy, and the quality is amazing. Works with all music button clicks, and in line Mic is mind blowing good.
I'm looking into the SE535s as we speak. I was wondering if you have these and were willing to share your experience with them (sound quality, comfort, gym use). That would be great.
For in ears, my previous favorite for years had been the Etymotic ER4. With a good, sealed, in-ear fit, nothing could come close to the flat frequency response through a delicious mid-range all the way up to the limits of high-frequency audibility. Bass was thin, however, but acceptable.
The Shure 535 replicate the incredible, crystalline flat-response of the Etymotics, but add a rich, accurate, fast bass to the mix and are a better headphone for it. They are comfortable for a good in-ear seal.
Now, nothing is better than a good headphone amp and a pair of balanced Sennheiser HD800s with an HD audio source and a good DAC - but for compressed music on a portable player, the Shures are state-of-the-art.
I have a buddy that works for Shure as an engineer. I'm going to see if he can get me a better price. I read about 5 reviews and each states the same you did. These seem like the right fit for me.
Thanks adamsfbay for your help.
Also, RogerPodacter, thanks for telling me about the MIE2s. I checked them out, but I'm not a fan of Bose. I have a pair of AIAIAI y-com greys for use with phone conversations.
Sidenote, AIAIAI is a great headphone company from Denmark if anyone is interested in their style, kinda funky www.aiaiai.dk
Shures are awful. My SE210s just fell apart after a years use. The cable split, the jack shorted, and the rubber on the housings peeled off.
I've had nothing but good luck with the Etymotic sets I've owned. Their customer service is fantastic, and the IEMs themselves are world class. My ER6s lasted four years with constant use, and the hf5s that replaced them have been flawless.
Get a set of hf5s, you won't be disappointed. If you have extra cash, spring for the custom fit option. I LOVE mine.
What's your budget? $500 for the 535's? Checkout Future Sonics Atrio M5, nice warm sounds and amazing low-end, they can be had for well under $2bills and can't be beat by anything under $350.
You might not have heard of Future Sonics before but they are one of the industry leaders in concert and studio in-ear and reference monitors. These guys know their ****.
Thanks for the input, ill check those out. More recommendations are never a bad thing. Thanks XDAers

It is a bit much for any average listener, but for the audiophile hearing even the most minute difference in sound can mean a much better experience. Just like most of XDA, we are phone enthusiasts, but than there are so many other things that everyone seems to enjoy. If your $4 dollar headphones do the trick than thats not a bad thing, but going from $4 to $300 headsets is like going from standard definition TV to high definition TV. To each their own.
I know I saw above that they didnt hold up but I have had my se210 set for a little over a year and they still look and perform like new. Sound pretty good to me and I do have a decent ear. Use B&K Home system thru NAD stuff etc.
No expert, just I can tell the difference between different speakers or headphones.
What's your budget? Care to venture into the area of customs?
I have the JH Audio JH5 for $399, and they're awesome..
Good alternatives to the SE535 are the Westone IEM's, the Sennheiser IE8 if bass is your thing. These threads at Head-Fi might help you out, make a solid choice for yourself.

To be honest the standard HTC headphones are some of the worst I have seen.... So I was wondering if any if u guys have experimented with other earphones? Please suggest me some good quality earphones for regular use which do not need care... I just dump everything in my bag as a result of which I have a collection of broken earphones and stuff.... Any help is appreciated ... Thanks!
Oh and yes.... Preferably those in ear kind of earphones!

Are you talking about the Sony MDR-EX082 / MDR-EX85 he reviewed? I used to have them and I enjoyed them. Great sound isolation, comfort, and sound quality+bass. The only thing I didn't like about them is that the wires linking the earbuds aren't symmetrical (Right earbud's wire is longer than the left one).
In total agreement about the HTC headphones.
I'd love to join you and get a new pair, but I really crave ones with a compatible remote control on them. Y'know, the buttons to allow you to skip track and a mic to answer calls with.
Does anyone know if these are standard in anyway? Anyone had any success stories with a pair working on the Inc S?
Stay away from headphones designed for "iphones" as the fwd and back buttons don't work with the Incr S (or most HTC's). I remember trying a few and maybe the play/stop only worked on a few. Also, I was told that maybe HTC did something differently with some of the more recent phones including the Incr S vs the old Desire, adding to headphone control compatibly issues... I ended up with some Klipsh ProMedia In-Ear http://www.klipsch.com/promedia-in-ear-headset which are essentially the S4 but with a single button and mic. It will stop and start music and handle calls. If you get the "headset button" app you can then set double click, triple click, etc... I've got mine set to fast fwd on double click and rwd on triple click.
Sound-wise, I thought that they sounded the best in that price range. There are lot of good phones at various price points and it all depends on your personal taste (and don't forget comfort...). Best to find a shop that allows you to demo them.
edit: one niggle I have with the Klipsh Promedia is that the button/mic piece sits just around my shirt collar (when I wear a dress shirt) and if I turn my head, sometimes it gets caught and tugs on my right ear phone. They also come with lots of tips to get a right fit. But I use comply foam tips as I always find foam tips the most comfortable and secure for my ears, and I like the sound slightly better with the foam tips (bass seems less boomy).
Sennheiser CX 300 II. not very expensive and decent sound quality, give it a try..
I am using Shure E215 which the sound quality is very impressive.
Anything sennheiser
Ok, do Sony mdr zx 100 work??

Sennheiser
I prefer Sennheiser CX 200 Street II.
+ good quality: i use it for sports
+ perfect sound: in ear = bass
+ fits perfect: 3 different adaptors for your ear are included
+ price: 20€ @ amazon
- 3,5mm plug: For IS a plug with no 90° would be perfect
I use Sony mw600 by earphone,not bad.

klipsch image s4 is good
I have two choices of a pair of headphones.
1)Sennheiser HD 438
2)Razer Orca
Well both of them look nice. The orca have similar specs to the hd 438 and only USD59.99. But does not have a travel case. But the hd 438 has. Which one should i choose?

I have Sennheiser with bass boost, for not in-ear nice bass
As stated, Sennheiser/klipsch are the way to go. My favourites are Image s4 for klipsch and CX-400-II precission for sennheiser, any of those and you wont be disappointed.
I tried them all and they are all uncomfortable. You have to get the ultimate ear 500vi with remote control. Not only do they sound much better than sure, klipsch headphones but are way cheaper at around 60$. They are very sturdy, no tangle, and come with comply foam ear tips which are the most comfortable things you can put in your ear(they also isolate sound and give a richer base. Did I mention they have the best warranty in the business, they will send you a free pair if ever you encounter any problem!!

urBeats
Just got the white urBeats from the handtec website today.
I've had them before with the Sensation XE but they were so good I had to buy them again. The remote & mic works perfectly with them. Not an audio expert but the sound quality very good, quite bass heavy, with good mids. The great build quality means they will last for ages as well.
The Monster turbines look awesome but i also like the Sennheiser IE 8, i'm not a real bass fan as i like easy listening music more.
Can someone with urBeats compair them with the ones that come with the phone?
i like the ones that come with the phone. not bad by any means
My Klipsch x10 earphones sound pretty darn good with the phone. I personally find the included buds to be garbage.
For the budget solution I can recommend the a-Jays 3. Their sound far surpasses their asking price, they have decent tangle-free cable, comes with a decent case and accessories, and are comfortable and very well made. I bought them when I lost some Senheissers that cost three times what these did, and they blow them out the water. Being aimed at more bassy music, they do falter slightly in the higher ranges if there are no other mid/lower sounds to support them, but they are perfect for my musical tastes. Their faults can also be mitigated if you use a player with a decent EQ. PowerAmp serves me well here.
Hunt around for a bargain, but even at £40 you are getting some buds that you'd be happy had you spent £100. Had mine two years and have no plans on changing them.

I'm no expert when it comes to headphones, but I've been using the JVC Xtreme Xplosives (In-Ear). They are comfortable, very cheap (they cost me USD $18 several months ago) and the sound is awesome with the included amplifier in the One.
JVC has In-Ear, On-Ear and Over-Ear headsets within the Xtreme Xplosives line. You may want to check them out.

I didn't know you were looking for a headset with mic. I'd go to Amazon or other online retailer and look for price/reviews on them and get one.
Do you have any idea about Bose MIE2I??? Is this product compatible with HTC ONE?
I personally prefer Shure headphones over Bose when I've tried both. I've used Bose QC20 (in ear) and QC15 (over ear) - to me the active noise cancelation deadened the sound of the music making it much less vibrant.
I've also used Shure SE110, SE210, and SE425 (all in ear). They all had better sound than the Bose due to not using active noise cancelation (a properly fitting in ear seal is all the noise cancelation you really need) and all allow you to have an in line mic. The 110s were OK, but they're old now so you probably can't find them. The 210s are probably the worst headphones they've made - don't bother. The 425s are excellent and I currently use these. Be aware that they have a pretty neutral profile so if you prefer over emphasized bass like from beats headphones then you probably won't like these. The 425s are priced similarly to the Bose ones.
As a side note, the best investment you can make for in ear headphones is getting some custom fit sleeves for your ear canals. It makes a world of difference to any headphones in both noise isolation and sound quality
