Not sure if this has been mentioned before but...
After discovering for myself how quiet the sound was on the headphones that came with my diamond i done a small and simple mod (if you can solder) to increase the output.
Take off black rubber ring on ear piece
pull speaker out, i just picked it out with my nail
remove surface mount resistor (small black rectangle thing)
bridge the connections with solder
repeat on other side
Basic stuff with a noticable increase of sound
"Lowering" the resistance should increase the treble tones. Didn't know that's how manufacturers did things.
My HTC headset work fine. I need to keep the volume to minimum.
"Philips unveils new Fidelio docking speakers for Android ecosystem
Berlin, Germany – Philips is adding to its successful series of Fidelio docking speakers with a new range for Android smartphones and tablets, which will be launched at IFA. The Fidelio docking speakers for Android™ are based on the same speaker systems as the Fidelio for Apple range, so you can be sure to enjoy a stunning sound from your Android phone or tablet but with all the functionality you need for a simple experience.
As the micro USB connector on Android smartphones are placed in different positions and orientations on each phone, Philips has developed a unique connector design that adjusts in three dimensions to hold any phone in both portrait and landscape positions. This means you can dock and charge most Android phones and your phone will always be positioned at the centre of the speaker for the best sound experience.
To immediately enjoy your music in the simplest way, Philips has developed a dedicated Fidelio app for Android, which will automatically pair your smartphone with the docking station via Bluetooth. Using Philips Songbird media player, you can discover and play all your media and sync it seamlessly with the docking speaker. Its intuitive features let you discover new artists and music styles through music and media stores, services and websites. For completely hassle-free music enjoyment, you can play your own library and media straight from the web and effortlessly sync all of it from your PC to your Android devices.
The Fidelio for Android range includes the following devices:
The clean lines of the curved back on the Fidelio for Android (AS851) not only looks remarkable, but also creates a more effective structure for acoustics and precisely tuned bass pipes for deep, tight bass reproduction so you’ll experience a superb crystal-clear sound. This model comes with Philips Digital sound processing for lifelike, distortion-less music and 30W RMS total output power.
This slightly smaller Fidelio for Android (AS351) will give you the right sound at home and on the go. With the option to choose between battery and AC power, you can enjoy your music anywhere. This model offers Dynamic Bass Boost to preserve low tones for deep bass at any volume level and comes with 10W RMS total output power. A special shielding technology blocks mobile phone interference whilst the AUX-in at the back side of the device means you can connect almost any electronic device.
The third model in the range, the Fidelio for Android (AS111) comes in an elegant and compact design that looks gorgeous from every angle and fits onto every bedside table. Its 360-degree design gives a rich omni-directional sound to fill your bedroom, whilst neodymium speakers deliver a pure balanced sound so you can wake up to a great sound from your Android phone."

i guess it works on defy
I recently purchased the Panasonic RP-TCM120E-K wired headset from Tata Croma. The pack was sealed and there was not test pieces available, but I decided to take the risk and purchase it. The cover says "Not compatible with Nokia phones". This was another reason to purchase, since none of the Nokia Headsets worked with my CSL-Mi410. (Kind of inverse logic.. if it doesn't work with Nokia, it will work with my phone )
Here is a brief review of the product: (I am not a technical audiophile, hence I won't go into too much detail on impedance etc.)
Cost: Rs. 699/- (approx 12.7 USD)
In the box: Earphones, Three interchangeable ear piece cushions (S/M/L)
Performance:
Testing was done as (a) Regular call (b) Audio through Default Music Player and also MIUI player (c) Movie played through MX Player. Audio is crystal clear in all cases. Call volumes are good and there is no unwanted static even if the earphones are moved (swivelled in place). On/Off call button works fine and is compatible with our phone. I tried many headsets (mainly Nokia ones) which didn't have a satisfactory performance. I am not a great fan of bass, but this gives a good response and beats are clearly audible. I tested music across genres (Bollywood, Pop, Trance) and was quite happy with the output. Similarly, audio from movies didn't have any problems.
The wire extends for a good length (1.1 m) and folds to a compact size in the pocket. Being in-ear phones, you can easily use them while working out as they maintain their fit. At Rs. 699, this is not a cheap earphones, nor is it expensive. Based on performance and positives, it is worth the price I shelled out. In my opinion and good replacement for the stock earphones which are quite bulky and kept falling off.
Positives:
+ Sound quality is good (across genres)
+ Mic on/off button also controls Music Pause/Play (on Android Music Player and MIUI Player if you are running MIUI)
+ Snug fit to the ears and doesn't fall off easily
Negatives:
- The wire seems plasticky, but doesn't feel like a cheap roadside item.
- Gets tangled quite easily (maybe this is because I just shove it into my pocket).
Any link for online Deal ???

Ditto for the Panasonic headphones. Picked up mine for Rs. 600.00 from Spice HotSpot.
Excellent audio response.
Does it have mute button?
Does it have mute button?
This is the first and best in-ear earphones I've owned to date!
Design:
Wooden end-tips on the opposing side of the earbuds.
Both headphones are labeled: L (left), R (right).
Metallic end-cap on that encases the 3.5mm headphone jack and headphone multi-function button..
Tangle-free, internally weaved cable throughout.
Audio Quality:
Excellent lows (great for audio books/podcasts)
Mediocre Mids and Highs (it's not very good for music)
These headphones produces excellent realistic audio (it sounds like a person is speaking right in front of you).
The integrated microphone is very sensitive and is very audible.
Multi-Function button:
When connected to a MacBook Air or a Mac Mini, depressing the button prompts the iTunes app.
When connected to the HTC One m8, depressing the button quickly pauses currently played music/video. Holding down the button for 1 second, prompts the Okay Google command.
Pros:
Light-weight
Very durable
Very comfortable (even with prolonged usage)
Very stylish
Excellent audio quality
Cons:
No volume controls
The L and R labels are very difficult to see in low light.
Conclusion:
Since owning and using my HTC One m8, I've been searching for wired earphones that is compatible and easy to operate. This is the only earphones that I've used that has a very useful multi-function button and microphone that does not require the use of an external app. If you own a HTC One m7/m8/m9 and are in need for wired earphones with an integrated microphone, this may be the product for you.

Does anyone have a loose headphone jack? I just got my V40 the other day and when I went to plug in multiple pairs of headphones, they all slipped in easily without any resistance or noticeable click. It produces audio, however if it is slightly moved or rotated, it is enough to pause any playing media. I'm assuming it thinks it's disconnected at that point. Audio is one of the most important features for me. It's a shame I'll probably have to RMA it. Any thoughts on the matter guys? Thanks!
Edit: There is no problem. Apparently I had had to exert more force than I thought should be required. I tried without a case on and was able to fully insert the jack with a fair amount of pressure. After doing so, I put back on the case and was able to use all my headphones. There isn't a lot of clearance, however being firm with the pressure exerted, all my headphones were able to be fully seated. That's one tight Jack! Also, I'll leave a quick review with the headphones I currently have available. On another note, I wish that the audio settings would provide information regarding if the dac/amp is providing high or low gain, as well as offer the ability to toggle it on or off. If you have any questions, feel free to ask.
Tested Headphones (Hi-Fi Quad DAC Enabled):
Meze 11 NEO IRIDIUM (IEMs): Easy to drive (Energy Efficient) - Loud, yet comfortable at volume 50*
Audio-Technica ATH-M50x: Easy to drive (Energy Efficient) - Loud, yet comfortable at volume 50*
Sennheiser HD 6XX: Easy to drive (Energy Efficient) - Loud, yet comfortable at volume 50*
HIFIMAN HE4XX: Harder to drive (Not Energy Efficient) - Still sounds absolutely amazing regardless - Volume at 65 is comfortable, 70 loud, 75 uncomfortably loud
*Recommended highest level of safe listening volume is 50. Once exceeded, you will receive a non-intrusive warning (not a dismissive window) each time saying that higher volume can damage your hearing. Volume limit is 75.
I have been having loose headphone jack issues. I am caseless now and fully seated. I pushed quite hard and am getting a stereo signal. Still quite loose and gets knocked out of the jack with even slight movement with the headphone cable... Quite annoying and not sure if there is a fix for it.
Take a pair of pliers, and flatten the end of a toothpick (I find it helpful, but not really necessary). Then dig around in the jack for lint with the toothpick. I had the exact same problem after about a year, use wired high end phones all the time...apparently over time I packed some pocket lint in there. I had lost the noticeable click and also easily dislodged enough to pause the playback. No problems since cleaning it out. (also might help to turn it upside down while cleaning). I like the toothpick because you can dig around without much risk of damage to the inner components of the 3.5mm jack.
