Meh
They are just vinyl stickers.
They look awesome until they start to peel on the corners.
0 - minimal protection for the phone.
Overall, don't expect it to last long if you keep it in your pockets, unless you are really good at taking care of things.
Just my experience though.

I figure itwould still protect it when I sit it down tho

I just got a free one from sprint today. Seems like pretty good quality. I keep my Nexus in a case while at work, but on weekends I normally have it out. I just got it to save the back piece from major scratching.

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.

Dock

Hey, I ordered this http://m.ebay.co.uk/itm/301168861829
It has an insert do you can use with or without case. Seems to work ok.
Good for the price
Delivery from China took about 2 weeks.
Sent from my HTC One_M8 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

Let us know what you think when you get it.

Looks nice, looking forward to your opinion of it.

It's ok, it fits better with case on surprisingly. The usb is only a tiny bit too long, so wobbles ever so slightly when in dock without case. But it's fine, most probably wouldn't notice. I can manage to dock it in pitch darkness as it has a small blue led that's not to bright , it's slots in quite easily.
It's not the greatest, but it's good for the money.

M8 vs Note 3 user experience.

Anybody come from a Note 3? I'm thinking of trading my Note for one of these.
Sent from my SM-N900P using XDA Free mobile app

The only thing I can see that you'll miss is the screen size.. and maybe the stylus.. otherwise everything else beats the note 3. I did notice that even with a gig of less ram, this phone still out performs the note 3. Oh and the sound is worth the switch alone.

Agreed 100% The stylus was great for a while but like all Samsung gimmicks, they just get in the way after a while.
And I know not everyone likes it, but BlinkFeed is a feature I use every day.

I made the transition from the Note 3 to this phone. The Note 3 ran pretty much flawlessly for me and I had no real complaints about it. It's just that I'm kind of phone obsessed and really wanted this phone.
This phone definitely has a way sexier build and feels like a quality device compared to the Note 3. I also feel that the camera is better on this phone than the Note 3. The difference in screen size is noticeable but this screen is not exactly small so you will get used to it after a little while.
Overall, if you are a phone fanatic who needs the latest and greatest I don't think you'll regret getting the M8. It's a sleek and sexy phone that takes better pics than the Note 3

One of the features I love on my Note is being able to assign a Notification Tone to a contact. Is this possible on the M8?

Anything is possible

Care to share some options?

You can apply a ringtone, but not a notification tone. U can use GoSMS, etc., to apply individual ringtones.

I currently own both (Note 3) and (M8 Harman Kardon Edition).
While the M8 has superior build quality and superior sound it does not beat the Note 3 imo...Especially if you use and love S-Pen functionality and care about camera quality.

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..

The price is tot high for me.
Looking for cheaper.
Thnx anyway

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.

Great thread, I am also looking for he best value bluethoot earbuds to use while running or biking. They all seem pretty expensive, is there on option on the 30-50 bucks that is worth it?
Cheers

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.

I have the Harmon kardon Bluetooth wireless headset, it's completely amazing! The sound is just phenomenal, if your looking for headphones that aren't Beats, these are worth checking out.

The LG Tone Infinims? I have them too, very pricey, but great sound, way better than I ever dreamed I'd get with Bluetooth. Definitely worth the but (though I may buy a pair off eBay and save some money off what I paid at the AT&T store, haven't decided if I wanna risk it yet).

Also got the HK Bluetooth headset. Compared to my urBeats the sound is amazing...
