Headphones! which to buy?

Hello, I have HTC HD2 with Android MIUI on board. And I wanted to get new headphones, because the only headphones, that i have alive, are my old Phillips (5 years)
So can someone help me ?
1. i need them to be in-ear
2. they have to work with my phone
3. they must have flat wire
4. them must have L-shaped plug
I found only 2 headphones, that are OK with me, but i never head about 1 of them.
What i found: Beats Tour and a-Jays, but Beats don't have L-shaped plug, so i am sure, that they will die after month of using.
a-Jays have several versions, from one to four.Four was designed to fit iPhone, but it has all i need, so will it work with my HTC HD2?
Here are a-Jays four:

I'd try to find answers at : headfi.org . But don't forget to bring back your conclusions about your pick !

Get the aJays, I'm getting myself one soon.
Although they hinted that the headphones will work with the HD2 along with the buttons, they weren't direct. Here is their reply:
>Dear Faris,
Sorry for the lateness of our reply, it is vacation time in Sweden.
The product is design specifically for Apple’s own products and that is what we recommend you use it for. However, whilst some of the features (like answer calls / pause and play music etc.) might work with other devices, we have decided not to market it in this way.
Hope it answer your question.
Kind regards,
JAYS Support

Ämne: Will the a-Jays Four work with other smartphones?
Hello,
I'm contacting you regarding your product, a-JAYS Four. It says it was designed to fit and work with the iPhone, iPod and the iPad. Could it work with other phones like the HTC HD2 ?
And How will the buttons be functioning?
Thanks in advance.
looking forward to hearing from you.

Get these, them satisfy all your requirements except the flat cable and they have awesome SQ and are very well made.

Can I buy anywhere BOSE on a good price?

Hands down the Astro A*Stars. These are what I use on a daily basis, they're built for gaming, and work well on my PS3 as well (with their amplifier it does amazing surround sound), but they really pump on the HD2. I should note that I get my best performance from MIUI Music as well (I switch ROMs frequently), even though I love CM7, the MIUI music player (or try Uber Music) is noticeably clearer with these headphones and a few other I've tried. The in-line controls work well for play/pause on any ROM, volume controls are excellent, and I have literally stood in front of a fan and used them to make phone calls with total clarity. The mic is wind-shielded. My only wish for the product would be a skip button as well.

The lowest price on a BOSE headset is $80 at Sam's Club. Check this link out

i got my in-ears from deal-extreme, they come for $1.80 so even if they break its no big deal..
Quality really isnt bad at all.

I have the Shure SE 215. For me they are really perfect and sound awesome.
But it depends on what kind of music you like. Do you want much bass or is the clarity important.
On head-fi.org forum you can get some really good advice for in-ear monitors. They helped me to.

Dear, I have these headphones:Sennheiser HD 201
Good Sound!

Hello,
I would go for beats.

I use "Sony MDR-XB40EX" head set.
It's in ear, flat cable, L shape 3.5mm jack.
I love extra bass

I've got myself an AKG K370 and the sound is amazin... mic is perfect... Beats by Dre mb the brand but AKG is quality!

[Q] recording with external Microphone to enable stereo sound , is it possible ?

Hello ,
i need to get HD stereo sound for my recorded videos
i was thinking about using external camera mic like this one

this one used for the digital cameras as you know
anyone tested it yet ?
is it working with the camera to get some HD sound as the videos ?
help please

Anyone help ?

I'm not sure what you're asking here, stock roms already have stereo audio recordings in them (although last time I checked the left and right channels were swapped). Plugging in an external Mic should use the external Mic for recording but it won't be stereo, as far as I know.

i don't think it's the needed quality .. i mean HD sound like the digital cams
i already tried the vid recording with my note 2
i found it's almost same as Galaxy s 2 .. not very good sound quality

external mics should perform better but I don't think you'll be able to record stereo audio with them. Maybe if the external Mic is a stereo one, but I'm not sure.

I guess mic records with stereo not mono sound
Any digital cam do that with the external mic
Anyone have external mic test it for us ?

no one having stereo camera mic can test it for us please ?

I can't offer any answers to the original question, but what are you trying to acomplish? To record stereo audio, you need two microphones with some seperation. Even if the external mics have two microphones in one package you are not going to achieve much in the way of stereo sound. You need physical seperation off the microphones in order to record in "stereo". Too close together and you get basically the same signal on both mics which would give you basically the same results as a mono mic.
Good Luck!
Jason

simply , i need HD sound same as the digital cameras
because the sound of the vid record with the mobile is very bad sound while there's a good image
no need to get a digital camera if i got this quality of the sound " in my case "
can i do it with a normal external camera stereo mic like the one i posted the photo above ?

I'm not sure how the phone deals with external mics which aren't part of a headset as I've never used them, but plugging in my headset makes it use the external mic on the headset when recording video/audio.
Also the galaxy camera is fine using external mics, so I'd imagine the note 2 works with them too.

Yes i tried the stock headset that comes with the note 2 and it records
but i found the recorded sound is mono not stereo

maybe a usb mic or mic plus a usb dac would enable this, like other posters said if you want quality you probably want two mono mics

Hmmm .. Anyone having usb mic can test it
If sure it can record stereo tell me i will buy it

Just buy a cheap mic and find out.

Good headphones for our phone.

I've bought the Razer Electra it performs GREAT with the p880!
So if you want to buy an headphone and don't want to spend 250 - 300 bucks on a Beats because they sound good Spend 60 bucks on a Razer Electra even the microphone peforms great in calls.

Beats don't sound good bro, ath, JVC, sennheiser, some good quality Panasonic, and other sounds good... there's a lot of companies that build great headphones and sound great at low cost...

I use Koss Porta Pro, very good sound quality and really cheap (on eBay for 25 €). I use them with Viper4Android and an adaptated IRS for this headphones and it gives a great sound.

Another vote for the sennheiser cx 400!!!

Don't be bashing on beats just because they are hyped and expensive. Beats studios sound really good, not the best tho. My favorites are the Sony MDR1R with the awesome bass.

best in ear - Klipsch Image S4
best headphones - Audio Technica ATH-M50
under 150$, check reviews

for those who are searching for a good foldable headphone and wants some more punch at the bass frequencies I can recommend the AKG K404 headphone. Easy to carry when folded. Good sensitivity and stereo imaging. I miss some high frequencies, so added it by a little EQ. Really cheap, around 30USD you can pick one. For MP3 it's enough and sounds even better than my AKG K141 which costs around 100 USD.

I bought the PHILIPS SHE9000 from Amazon, during an offer (i spent 25$). The frequency range is 6Hz-23kHz and they work great on p880. And in other device as well

AKG- great sound small price

i use this headphones (AKG K518) for 2years.
by comparison these AKG with the sony or skullcandy or other **** ... i think.. the akg have the best sound with a great bass, for a good price
i dont understand all the "cool kids" with their drBeats for idk 200dollars?! .. (i dont want to anger someone)
so for me i'm very happy with my "around 50$" akg's with the same, maybe a better sound like beats..

nice, but it would be good if the video shows how is the sound before and after applying the mod.
and, as we are going to use the ear piece to play sounds, does it have any other effects as ear piece isn't designed to play sounds at higher volumes etc..,

It's actually one of the top mods in the Nexus 5 Themes & Apps forum.

They got it from XDA in the first place. Check out the OP to see who's mod it is and where it comes from.
There's also some newer versions in that thread that reduce distortion as well as enable true stereo (separate left & right channel audio).
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2964809

I wonder if it's actually wise to crank up the volume on the earpiece. Nice thought, but I need my earpiece to work for phone calls. I can always use headphones or bluetooth speaker for music. (which will sound much better)

this is a foolproof mod i would say... when headset is connected, phone does what it is meant to do.! only when main speaker works, earpiece also work...
and during incall if you put loud speaker, sound doesn't get mixed! so all works perfectly and does what its meant to do!
like you said, earpiece isnt meant to handle such volumes, which is why during notification arrival, if the volume is set to high, you can hear a creaking sound... but this can be avoided if sound is kept below 60-70%...

thanks for pointing out to the original post.! couldnt find this one!

It is the most interesting mod i have ever seen on android .
since i got my nexus i didn't like the sound quality at all , But making the earpiece to act as a speaker is a nice idea .
Now there is some balance in the sound direction .
Thank you for sharing :good:

Bottom speaker distortion

I bought note9 exynos variant so about week ago and have noticed that when I'm playing audio with lot of mid range I hear distortion quite clearly from the bottom speaker even without eq or dolby enabled, is this a defect or is it how akg/samsung designed it to sound like?
In song like Indestructable by aaro only thing I first hear is distortion and crackling from high to mid high volumes. earpiece seems to play without distortion.

What is it? An mp3 (or other format) saved in your phone (or SD card) or from someware alse like from sporty or internet? Because if you saved it, maybe the volume of the file is registered to much high so, with a pc (or app that dose it) you can change the level to about 2 or 3 dB on peaks (first or second red lamp on the old dB meters ) to eliminate distorsions. These types of distorsions may come even at low volumes of the phone (or what ever it might should be playing it) because the song's volume is to high.

From YouTube and from phone it doesnt really matter and some game sounds too depending on frequency

On that particular song's beginning even at little over half volume when I put my ear close to bottom speaker I can hear crackling, but on full volume crackling at beginning is very obnoxious and its not even that loud. Eq is flat and dolby atmos is off.
Bass full drum plays without problems but its some mid frequencies that easily triggers that distortion or crackling

I have atmos off and also my EQ is set at normal.
I listened to it up to 1.36s mark and couldn't hear any crackling as such. But perhaps some hissing, was observing bottom speaker only. Volume was set at 70%.

Oh so is this note9 speaker unit defective? It doesn't sound like normal distortion or so it sound like speaker hits something or so, in some songs like that quite clearly. In some I don't hear any but that because they don't have that kind of frequency lot.
Or it sounds a speaker that's underpowered.

I put a sample of how that beginning sounds from note 9's speakers at 80% volume, eq set to normal and Dolby Atmos turned off

Hi there!
I've suffered from the same issue on my Note9. I sent it in for repair, and it came back with the same issue again. I have a feeling it might be a software issue, or a board issue. Either way, I've found that I can configure the equalizer and Dolby Atmos to mostly mitigate the issue. My Dolby Atmos setting is fixed on Music mode, and I have a curve on the equalizer, with the 250Hz and 500Hz frequencies at the the 0dB line (although there is a slight amount of wiggle-room for these) and I have my 63Hz and 16KHz maxed, with the other sliders forming a "U-curve"
Hope this helps you,
Tom
