Decent Headphones?

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.

Comfy BT stereo 'phones?

Hi folks,
Before trawling the threads, i thought i wanted a set of traditional, padded headphones, but after looking at some of the options, i'm more confused than ever.
The size of the Motorokr S-9 really appeals to me, but i'm wary of having these alien probes in my lugholes. They look really intrusive, itchy, and sweat-inducing.
So, can anybody vouch for a comfortable BT stereo solution with remote that will work well with the Athena 100?
Problems with certain ROM versions etc?
How do these things charge?
Any that vibrate?
Bargains (UK)?
I don't usually listen to stuff for long periods and never used a headset before, but i'd like something that is up to the job when i do need to.
Thanks guys, and apologies for going over stuff that has probably been covered before.

I have a Rocketfish RF-MAB2. They have over-the ear clips and cover most of your ear. No vibrate or display, but very high quality audio. I listen to music for hours at a time at work. I find they are more comfortable flipped over so I've flipped the channels in TCPMP, but they also slide off easily so I can only do this sitting down.
I use AP4 with radio ROM 1.58.

I've since found a Samsung WEP870 while trolling round the mobile phone shops at the shopping mall. I'm not really an audiophile but these things are a brilliant invention.
It's a mono earpiece but has a combined stereo earbud set and nifty lanyard with anti-tangle grommets that clips into the earpiece which is then worn round the neck.
I always thought the in-ear things were horrible, but these are really comfy and block out a lot of noise even when they produce no sound. Pretty cheap for what they offer i reckon.
I just wish i could work out how to get them to work with my Win7 laptop too :-/
Thanks for the reply though!

I had been using Motorola HT820's -- had great sound. They finally broke beyond repair after 2-3 years.
Now I bought a Nokia BH-905. I wanted BT headphones with active noise cancellation and the ability to take calls with noise cancellation on the microphone. (Have to work in a very noisy environment and I need to wear earplugs.)
These aren't around-the-ear types like I wanted (can't find any BT headphones w/ ANC that do that.), but they are VERY comfortable, and the ANC works very well. With the earplugs, I can barely hear anything when working around air-handling equipment (constant hissing.)
Very expensive - over $200 - but worth it for me. Greay buy; I just hope they hold up.

another vote for Motorola HT820 (mine also died can't find another one for sale), it is simply the VERY BEST! of them all in funtionality, ease of use, and sound purity, and comfy level.
other ones i've and still using but don't like are:
Jabra BT8010 (good but always breaks the earloop)
Sony HBH-DS980 (too much wire, it defeats the purpose of bluetooth)
Sony DRBT21G (pales in comparison to Moto HT820, but it's passable, not comfy though)
BlueTake BT420Rx (Gen1 bluetooth, no A2DP, limited features, very comfy, good sound, but it looks like princess leia specially if you have the white version)
Plantronics Voyager 855 (pure garbage, no A2DP)
Motorola S9 (dies easily with sweat dripped into the device, bad design, it's a total failure compare to its big brother HT820)
my top 2 choices for sound are:
HT820
BT420Rx
my top choice for formar work/fun mix
BT8010
unfortunately the BT8010 is very prone at breaking the earloop even with careful use, i went through 3 sets of it already.
luckily enough when you but these they come in pairs with the stereo side, so i always use the stereo side of the earloop to replace the main headset, as i seldomly use the stereo side of the headset, i mostly just use the single side of it.
for real stereo i'll much prefer to use the HT820

Unfortunately, headsets are kinda like coffee.....what's good to one person may not be for others......LOL

I'm using JBL reference series 610. They are super comfy

[Q] Wired Headphones

Hi all
I have oddly shaped ears so in ear headphones, like the ones that come with the HTC 7 Mozart, are not particularly comfortable and the right one always falls out!
Does anybody know if there are any third party products that have the three pin 3.5mm jack connector with the in-line media controls included? I am thinking of over the ear headphones.
Cheers

if u dont mind shelling out some nice dough there are very good ones from Bose and Sennheiser (Were developed for iphone but works like a treat with Mozart)
Checked from a buddy of mine who has the bose one

Can I just get any of those "made for iPhone" headsets or will the mic and buttons not work with a HTC phone?

The Mozart is quite obviously quite different to the iPhone, hardware and software-wise; thus, if the headphones are specifically made for iPhone, you can be pretty damn sure the buttons won't work for anything other than the iPhone.

Yeah. cauze the inbox Headphones of the mozart are really crappy i took the headphones of my womans Samsung wave. when i first connectet them it was horrible cuz u need to plug them out a litle bit. but after i figuered that out its like a charm. but still: buttons not working.
cheers

HTC has wired heasets for the Mozart as well, including a (single) button for accepting/ending a call. You an plug in your own headphone as well for better sound so it only delivers the mic and the button if you want... About €15 on eBay...

I tried the iPhone headphones with Mozart. You can play, pause, answer, hang up, and launch voice control.
The volume buttons don't work however.

Does anyone know if there are high quality in-ear headsets from shure or sennheiser etc. with working volume buttons (+take/end call, play/pause music etc.) ?
/EDIT:
I just ordered the Etymotic hf2 (etymotic.com/ephp/hf2.html). These have support for WM7 and are supposed to have really good sound quality and isolation. I'll comment about their quality and functionality with my Mozart when I get them.
BTW, there's a nice $60 rebate on the ruby and cobalt versions of them... I ordered the ruby ones.

now-a-days all the earphones come with 3.5mm jack
i would recommend you to try over ear headphones instead of in-ear for more comfort!

you could do what I did:
take the original HTC headphones with the built-in microphone
take apart the controller and remove the wires to the speakers
replace the speakers wire with some good speakers - Creative in-ear
result: headphone with microphone, controller volume and answer acces with great speakers for music too

Try beats audio earphone and they are preety awesome plus have different earbuds suitable for your ears too...

Try dr.dre beats headphones they are awesome dude, top quality for sound. Best ear product in the market.

I use a set of Jabra Sport corded earphones with my Mozart.
It only gives play/pause and voice control though (all in one button). It has it's own volume slider that is independent from the phone.
I'm very happy with the audio and build quality of them, but not quite all the features you want.
The fit is one of the best I've ever had, no ear fatigue and they actually stay on when running, or hanging upside down, they went for a swim and survived as well.
I occasionally use them with a Sony MW600 BT thingy, it gives the music change functions, but adds another independent volume control.

[Q] Suggestions for headset?

Hello,
I'm looking for headset (bluetooth preferred) for my Droid Incredible. It has to be over the ear style because I wear hearing aids.
I like this--->http://www.plantronics.com/us/product/voyager-pro-plus
But the ear piece will push against the ear mold...
This style over the ear--->http://www.amazon.com/Plantronics-M214C-Headset-Adjustable/dp/B000ANOY7M/ref=pd_sim_e_7
is what I'm looking for but it's wired.
Suggestions?

The v pro is one of the top bluetooth headsets on the market at the moment. Looks aside its got some of the clearest connections and the dual mic setup really does its job. Another more lightweight headset you might be interested in is the plantronics m1100. I have only seen one headset that does not have an earbud component to it and i am blanking on the name at the moment. It was a reversible headset designed to be easily switched from one ear to the other and had a speaker instead of an earbud. If i remember what the headset is i'll be sure to post it.

I'm on my third, because I leave them on jobs all of the time. The best bt hands down. Call, build and battery quality is top notch. I get about 5.5-6hrs on a charge talking or streaming Bubba the love sponge from radio io.

+1 on the voyager pro plus. Great battery life and clarity. You can remove the earbud and it would lay flat against the hearing aid. Take a look at the manual online and you will see what i mean

Don't alot of modern hearing aids have bluetooth built in so they can act as a headset?

Best portable Bluetooth Speaker

I was in the Verizon store where they had the Bose Soundlink Mini set up and I paired with it and played various types of music through it and all of them sounded incredible (no surprise, it IS Bose). I have been thinking about getting a GOOD portable bluetooth. This one would seem an obvious choice but one thing about it bugs me. It DOES NOT support handsfree calls. It's A2DP only. Seems like a pretty major oversight for something that is supposed to be a high end accessory for a smartphone.
So, I know some of the other brands out there are of course Jambox, JBL, Braven, Logitech, and I'm sure there are some more. What speakers have you guys found that you really like?

I think sony SRS-BTX300/BLK may be fit with ya

The JBL micro works very well. It's smaller, which makes it more portable. The drawback is also related to how small it is. Doesn't really do bass well and distorts at higher volumes. Still, a good all around portable that's easy to transport and sounds better and bigger than comparable speakers.

I have JBL Charge and I think is the best bluetooth speaker price/quality wise but no handsfree. If you want handsfree check out Logitech UE Boom.

I've been incredibly impressed with this Monster brand speaker. Amazing phone call quality, super small, incredible battery life (4-5 hours on a charge), and the sound quality is astounding considering it fits in the palm of your hand. Try to pay around $50 for it.

I vote for the sony btx300...best of em all

Picked up two at Radioshack for $30 each the other day. Great sound and range for the bluetooth.
I'm interested in in the Anker Bluetooth speaker now.

Thanks, but looking for Speakers to play it out loud, not earbuds

I got the Shoqbox SB7200 from Philips and it's been awesome!
Real cheap compared to other similar products.
* Rugged
* Water resistant (shower, rain, pool area)
* Dust proof (ideal for biking/hiking/camping/beach)
* Long lasting battery
* Gesture control (somewhat annoying at times but works great when used properly)
* Great sound (bassy)
* Cheap
