Best headphones for Note 8 - Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories

I'm looking for buying new headphone for my Note 8. I don't mind if they are wireless or not, my only desire is to perform the best sound for music. Does anyone has a suggestion? My budget for now is 120 - 150€

Or go for the quad drivers if you can afford them but triple is already excellent

Jaybird x3

Yup, another vote here for the Jaybird x3. Comfortable and offer great sound. Can’t go wrong buying em.

I use the Bose QC35. One of the best Noise cancellation headsets in the market.and huge battery backup.

I'd go for one of the Sony over ear wireless sets. I have the MDR10RNC and they're incredible. Just my two cents

I tried noise cancelling phones (sony and bose) and their sound quality is sub-par compared to good ear buds. no doubt they are very good at noise cancelling. I like my Jaybird X2 lot better than Sony MDR-1000X and Bose QC35. Try them first before you purchase.

Jaybird X3s here in Camo. With MemoryFoam tips of the right size are absolutely superb daily drivers. Won't win any audiophile SQ awards, but deliver on all sound fronts for the genres of music I listen to; EDM, HipHop, Rock, New Age. I use the Eq on the Jaybird App in tandem with the Eq in PowerAmp. Good stuff there.
When I really want some bass I plug in my MDR-XB90Ex's with Comply tips.

I don't know about the others but I have the Onkyo E700BT and I'm very satisfied with them.

Westone W60

I got the (wired) Sure se215, took off the earbuds and connected them to a $20 bluetooth 4.1 apt-x cable from aliexpress (with a CSR8645 chip), giving me 8hrs of wireless bliss with enhanced sound!

I have the Bose Soundsport Wireless and the Sony MDR-ZX770BN and love them both. The Bose are great for running, gym work and outdoors while the Sony are great for in office listening as they get rid of the AC background hum which also works great on a flight.
I did have the Jaybird X3 and the design and sound were great but after an hour or so they started hurting my ears whereas the Bose don't put any pressure on your ear canal and lock into your ear with the rubber fin which I find much more comfortable.

I got myself a pair of the V-MODA Crossfade II Wireless. They're still having the spring sale (??), so get em' while you can.

If you are really interested in getting a nice audio setup, you will need a nice amp that can power your headphones. Phone DACs are not as good (in comparison) and cannot possibly hope to compare with say a desktop setup (e.g. Sennheiser HD 800S, Woo Audio Amp [brand doesn't necessarily matter], nice balanced cables, a good sound card for your PC). You can easily spend thousands of dollars...
Wired is always better than wireless. You can easily get to the point of diminishing returns with a phone, but I'd say an easy pick for a great earphone is the Sennheiser IE 800S. Obviously you would need a DAC AMP to get more out of the earphones, but I'm sure you either won't be able to tell the sound quality difference, or you can rest easy knowing that your earphones are not the limiting factor in your phone setup.

I bought those, really good sound quality of you could get them to stay in your ear properly, also not made well as 2 set have had the 3.5mm jack fail on me now. I went with Sennheiser 599's after that and haven't looked back. They are big , and over the ear , but sound quality is awesome.

The earphones that come with the Note 8 are actually pretty good. I don't see the point in getting another set unless you are a hardcore audiophile.

The AKGs the note 8 came with lmao

Beats studio 3 wireless working great for me

Do you have a link? I love my Shure Se215 and they released the wireless versions of them, but I don't wanna spend the 100 for the Shure adapter. How is the sound quality, any issues with the bluetooth?

A good Stereo Bluetooth headset

Hi all,
I wonder if anyone can recommend a good Bluetooth Stereo headset (max £50 although anything near the £30 mark would be a bonus).
I would prefer them to be discreet i.e. in ear as opposed to over the ears, and would need the ability to pause, skip etc. and if possible (but not essential) the ability to change the headphones.
Thanks in advance,
Fuzzmo.

Sony Ds-205. Best one I tried so far.
Motorla S9s are great and you can easily find them in that price range; if you can pitch in a bit more, the S9HDs are also nice (but more expensive).

Ok cool - does it allow you to pause, scan, and skip tracks?
I also heard about the Jabra BT3030 - has anyone tried these with the X1?
i prefer the SONY-Ericsson HBH-BS220.....
changable Headphones, good Battery life (8h for A2DP/more than 10h of talk time), battery display, excellent sound quality and a very good noise reduction and automatic volume management (gets louder if you are in a noisy area)..... but i use it with a pair of Audeo PFE headphones from Phonak (I work there ^^)
I have a Nextlink/Invisio G5 headset. I had this headset for about 2 years now. Good headset, small discreet and because I wear glasses, the in ear fit works best for me. Earloops sux for us glasses wearers! LOL For the pricetag of around 50 bux you cant go wrong. The only negative is that in high winds, the headset really doesn't work all to well, but for the price and style it works for me who uses the headset day to day in the car with the windows up.
I am looking into the Jawbone Prime headsets in the next few weeks. They are a bit pricy but being Jawbone, I may opt for it.

I'll investigate these a little further. Am tempted by the Jabra BT3030 or the DS-205 that Jack mentioned. Thanks to all who replied (although if there are more suggestions then feel free to list them).

Trust me. I tried many BT stereo headsets (Sony: DS-220,205,970,980, Clip D Radio, Jabra (forget what model) ..etc) and ONLY Sony's gives the best sound quality (sound quality among Sony's are similar). DS 220 and DS 205 are basically the same with pause, scan, and skip tracks support on 205 only. Jabra BT3030 is not 3.5mm jack which will give you headache in finding a good headphone.
And one added benefit on Sony's BT headset is you can charge while using it. (Other brands will stupidly turn off if you try to charge the battery).
DS-205 + EX500SL match your X1 nicely

The DS980 is not bad...but still it doesn't sound great. It's probably some sort of limitation with the bluetooth transfer rate, as it still sounds only decent after you replace the earbuds with some higher quality ones.
Also the Sony ones have NimH batteries as far as I remember and their battery life is pretty mediocre.
Of course if you're not after great sound quality...any of the ones above will do

Hehe I think you may well have persuaded me on the 205 (and it's £50 online) - out with the Credit Card - and thanks for the heads up on the Jabra, that is one thing a lot of people don't mention. Gonna pair these with my Denon AH-C700s (a bit old but burned in and give me a wonderful deep Bass - until I can save up for the Sennheiser IE8's!)

I am after the best sound quality my £50 budget would allow. If money wasn't and issue they'd be right up there as I am sure they'd sound great but they're more than a little out of my price range
EDIT: Hmmm £87 online - should I???? Arrrgggghhh!!!! More thinking to do.....
i use motorola s9 while running on the treadmill, works out nicely because it's light and doesn't squeeze your head

The ear buds are not replacable on the DS980 without major surgery, or did you just mean the rubber bits? DS980 does not have a 3.5mm jack. I have HBH-DS220 and are happy with it, I use it with some etymotic ER6i which are good too, as an added bonus they can be plugged directly into the x1 if you have forgotten to charge up the DS220 too, something else you cant do if your headphones are permantly attached to the BT headset.

Yeah I was talking about major surgery
Actually the ear buds seem to be pretty good because once wired, they produce excellent sound. Hence the conclusion that it's something with the bluetooth module that's limiting. It seems like it's limited to medium quality transfer rate or something.
Either way, I used the DS-980 for a year and had no issues with it. In terms of sound quality though, the one I posted simply beats them. Again, if excellent sound quality is not an issue, go with any of the ones scote suggested.
Need help
I have the choice between two headsets:
1. DS 980
2. DS 205
what is important to me, is compatibility with X1 and battery life
Hello people from the planet earth=P just joking! Try the Jabra BT3030 Bluetooth Stereo Headset! I have it and i LOVE it!

People claim they are awesome. I own a pair and do not think they are that great. Nothing, IMO, beats a pair of over the ear headphones. $100 bucks is pricey too for a pair of earbuds. The quality seems to be quite low, too. I replaced them twice before buying a pair of headphones.

I have them and I love em. They sound better than any other earbuds ive owned.
I have the image s4's. I would say they are fairly average in that range. Etymotics have better fidelity but less bass.
The sound profile of these changes completely once you get a set of comply foam tips on them. Seal is better, bass is punchier, mids and highs aren't as grating and they fit my ears a lot more comfortably.

I use my GR07 MK2 (neutral) almost exclusively, but my partner owns a pair of ckm500 and they're very "fun" & easy to drive. A little too "boomy" and no where near quick enough for me, but keep in mind this is coming from someone who enjoys quick precise BA/ BA like dynamic iems
Edit: I'd also throw Yamaha's EPH-100 into the mix. They can be had for ~$100, but their difficult to find.

In-Ear Monitors (IEMs) can most certainly be worth the price, plenty of professional musicians using them onstage quite happily. For great info on headphones check a musician or audiophile source, I like head-fi.org, here's a buying guide they keep updated:
http://www.head-fi.org/a/buying-guide-headphones-by-price-range
also check http://www.gearslutz.com/board/ which is a music engineering forum, I'm sure there's some good info there.
When I decided to get a nice pair of over-the ear headphones I took my ipod to Guitar Center and started taking headphones out of boxes and trying them out. A musician-based store will understand needing to audition the gear, and I ended up spending $150 on a pair of KKRs that I love, which I use with my Viewsonic Gtab. I routinely hear things in songs I've never heard before with this setup.
There's another thread in this forum about using external USB Digital-Analogue Converters (DACs) with the HDMI port to get even better sound, but then you start running into the quality of your files, lossy(mp3) vs lossless(flac), etc.
FWIW At work I love my cheap Sony plugs, surprisingly nice sound for under $20.
DOH. Didn't even see that everyone else was linking to head-fi.
A good pair of IEMS can sound better than Over the ears cans, here are mine http://www.head-fi.org/t/596573/new-toy-iems-and-music-player-d#post_8156648 been using it with the S3, iPhone 5, and now the Note II and so far soooo good
these are http://audioearz.com Cheap but high quality !!!!! i just recently upgrade mine from AUD-5x to AUD-7x
im using stock headphones that came with the note 2. listening to it with power amp and bass and treble turned higher, it sounds amazing.
Hey! Thanks for all the replies! What I'm after is a decent pair of IEM with the mic and volume controls which is fully compatible with the GN2. The stock one aren't that bad but I'm looking for something with better audiophile but has to have the hands-free function as well. The S4A II seems to be the only one that fits the job right now. I've looked at JAYS but not so sure about brand. When I really just want to listen to music, I use my custom fit pair of UE.

I use a pair of Sony XBA-2vp. Dual balanced armature IEMs with mic control for Android. Volume control is through an analog slider though.
IIRC it got decent reviews on Head Fi. Although if there was a XBA-3 with Android controls, I would have probably bought that instead.

[Q] best in-ear headsets for Note 2

Hello,
I want an in-ear headset which is most compatible with my Note 2. Do anyone can suggest me about it??
My wished headsets are.
1. Heartbeats by Dr Dre
2. DNA in ear Pure monster sounds
3. C5 In-Ear Headphones by Bowers & Wilkins
4. HiDefDrum +Remote by Atomic Floyd
Pls help me choosing the most suitable headsets for my Note 2. Thanks in advance.:cyclops:
A little confused with your question because you listed 4 pairs of wired earbuds that supposed to have high quality sound but in terms of compatibility catered toward iPhone with an extra remote functionality. I'm not 100% sure with each since I just briefly looked up their spec, but they offer a basic mic with call button to pick up/end the call, and probably play/pause the music/video. But if you want a true multimedia compatibility you probably better off with a cheapo Samsung headphones, although it's hard to find genuine since even Amazon is filled with $5 knockoffs and their sound quality is sub-par. If you are after sound quality and full Android compatibility, check out review of JayBird Blue Buds X I posted earlier (link in my signature). Those are wireless bluetooth and fully compatible with Note 2, although if you prefer wired one that can be used with any audio device or on a plane, you probably better off with wired solution.
As you were told, the list you provided isn't that compatible with Android and Note II in specific.
You can check out Etymotic that have good earphones and are compatible with Android devices.
Personally, I use Superdarts by Atomic Floyd and am very happy with them (but they're not for anyone) in terms of sound quality and mic quality (which really surprised me).

With cars, I know you are not a car racer. You just have your Maserati and Porsche as daily beaters
The Note produces great sound, and to complement that I'm using the Logitech Ultimate Ears 350vm. It's a nice pair of earphones with a strong bass, plus the controls on the earphones work too. Very, very comfortable and the length of the wires is long enough to be comfortable around you.
For $1300, I'd rather buy the Shure SE535 LTD(which is still considered as the best IEM among audiophiles) + its Android compatible cable or even a pair of custom JH or UE.
I haven't listen to the K3003I yet, but from what I've read on Headfi and HeadRoom, the K3003I is really overpriced.
Just ordered Etymotic HF2; given the rave reviews i dug up online, i am suprised no body here has them!
Anyone checked them out?
I have an old pair of Livewires - just perfect!

Hi, I've got £150 to spend on a new pair of earphones have narrowed it down to the Bowers & Wilkins C5 and the Bose MIE2.
Any help to choose would be most appreciated.

If you want a better sound quality and more bass, go for B&W C5. If you care more about neutral sound with better comfort and noise isolation - MIE2. I can't speak for C5, since I only reviewed their P3 and P7 headphones (per my link in sig), but I heard a mixed opinion about the comfort of their fitment with that adjustable wire loop. If you wear your in-ear headphones for an extended period of time, I would suggest MIE2.
Also, take a look into Shure SE215, those go for about $99 and have removable cable. Have decent sound isolation, comfy fit, and warmer sound signature toward bass. Typically, cables break and you have to through away your headphones. With removable cables, you just get another set for $20.
I came back to the creative ep630s. Nothing beats them, in the price to performance ratio.

[Q] Best Earphones(In Ear) for Bass + Sound Quality

Hey XDA, I have reading through all the posts and cant seem to find a solid answer on this. Im looking for an in-ear earphones that provide amazing bass, without forgetting the sound quality. I like the original earphones that come with the samsung note 2 , they are pretty good and with some mods the bass that gets pushed out of them are actually pretty impressive. Problem is they arent durable at all, one of the earbuds always dies and only one works after a month or so. So as a wrap up I need :
*Amazing Bass as well as sound quality
*Durable
*Less then $140

I would suggest posting this question in Accessories Section of XDA in Jeremy's Headphone/Earphone guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2131021
You can also look through my headphone reviews: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2192333, though my focus is on balanced audiophile sound rather than basshead sound.
The problem with exaggerated bass is that it overpowers mids and treble, and muddies the song. Typically you want to look for something that has V-shaped sound (boost in mid-bass and treble and recessed mids). If you look in my review list, you will get that from Meelec M-Duo and Sennheiser CX895 (very high quality for bass with right set of eartips). But one that I would also recommend, so don't have it myself is Shure SE-215 - it goes for about $99 (either on Amazon or Saltwater) and has removable cables to extend longevity of headphones. My personal fav which I used everyday is Westone W40 but it's $500 quad-driver with tamed bass, not a basshead. There are also a few budget options I'm trying to get review samples of, Xiaomi Pistons 2 (about $30) and Astrotec AX35 (dual driver with dynamic driver for bass and armature driver for mids/treble).
I'd recommend the Klipsh Image x10's. You can get em off amazon for $136.98 right now. Very crisp with surprisingly good bass. It'll be better than most other things out there.
If you can go another hundred bucks, you can get a pair of Sennheiser IE80s from Amazon.De (no import tax, ships to the US in about a week). They are, by far, the BEST bass you can get in an IEM with one of the largest soundstages of any pair of cans. They're worth the upgrade if you use IEMs a lot.
EDIT: Just stay away from Beats by Dre. Seriously. They're branded crap made by Monster. They have bass because they overload the lows so much it distorts everything else and the drivers arent quality so overtime the bass will get muddled and sound like crap. The X10s or a pair of Shures will sound exponentially better and are made better by people who know how to make and design headphones. You can get a beats plugin or flash a beats mod to get everything that would make any headphone sound just as crappy as a pair of $150 dres.

x10 has a quality bass, not the "basshead" quantity he is looking for Klipsch is definitely a great choice, but they are more in an audiophile category rather than "fun" category, and also their quality went down (just like UE and others).
Regarding Beats, yes, stay away from them. I wouldn't blame Monster as much since they were under a contract to manufacture these headphones rather than design them. If anybody to blame it's Dr Dre Once their contract expired in 2012 and Beats went on to manufacture their own stuff, Monster is actually pumping some quality products. I just posted review of their DNA Pro over-ear headphones (in my sig link of reviews), and the sound was top notch. I'm waiting now to receive Monster iSport Victory to check out how their new in-ears sound.
Skull Candy FJM. fits the bill, less than 24 dollars. Equalize with Viper4Android, done deal.
Monoprice 8320 "enhanced bass" or ones in the same family. It's less than $10 and they often score higher than much more expensive earphones in reviews.
Of course, with a budget of $140, you can get something better, but if the Monoprice suit you fine, well, you saved $130.
Thanks for all the suggestions everyone , I ended up getting the Meelec M-Duo and these are some solid earphones, modded some of the audio on the note 2 and its gives great bass that shakes my ears and I can still hear the song clearly, solid purchase! Thanks vectron for the tip !

Meelec makes solid products, they got top support, and quite a reputation even from audiophiles on head-fi. For $66 M-Duo is a great value.
I would recommend Audio Technica CKS77 great bass and clarity.
What I Use
GGT4LIFE said:
Hey XDA, I have reading through all the posts and cant seem to find a solid answer on this. Im looking for an in-ear earphones that provide amazing bass, without forgetting the sound quality. I like the original earphones that come with the samsung note 2 , they are pretty good and with some mods the bass that gets pushed out of them are actually pretty impressive. Problem is they arent durable at all, one of the earbuds always dies and only one works after a month or so. So as a wrap up I need :
*Amazing Bass as well as sound quality
*Durable
*Less then $140
Thanks !

Brainwavz R1 would be a nice decision for you. Price 50$

I´m not an audiophile and I´ve been using the bundled earphones since day one.
I think that the Note2 sound quality with these earphones is really good (the rom I use also has a lot of sound tweaks).
Do you think that the sound quality will notoriously improve using other (better) in-ear headphones? (they must be in-ear).

The sound will improve exponentially!!!!!!
Btw, you guys have to check out these $25 in-ear headphones, I just reviewed here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2671888 - you definitely get a pumping bass, decent clear sound, and full Android control including volume!!! I still can't get over it. After I received it a few days ago.

thanks for this link, I hv red through it and saw their testimonies. I believe I hv found a very good earpiece which I have been looking for.
It's peoples personal preferences on how the headphones sounds, i'm using 3 headphones, sony xba 3, ex600 and ex800st, all considered as good headphones, the xba 3 being a headphone on the moves with reasonable quality in both sound and built.
Any word on great in ear earphones that also include a mic + working android controls?
Cheers!

I already posted above the link to my review: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2671888 - full android controls including vol +/-. And it got bass!!!!!
Klipsch x10 is one of ny favorite IEMs that I've tried. It's comfortable, sound great, and have good and tight bass without compromising the details of the rest of the music.

Best Suitable/or your choice headphones for OnePlus 3/3T

Hello Dear op3 mates

Now I am using
Original Xiaomi Mi IV Hybrid Dual Drivers Earphones - SILVER
and
Original Meizu EP-51 HiFi Music Sport In-ear Bluetooth Earphones - RED WITH BLACK
now thinking to go for
Original Xiaomi In-ear Hybrid Earphones Pro - SILVER
thank you and suggestion please below .........
AUDIO IS A VERY SUBJECTIVE THING

I have OP3 & use following headphones/earphones
1. Sony XB30
2. MEE Electronics M6 Pro
3. 1More Tripple Driver
4. Audio Technica ATH AD900X
5. Beyerdynamic Custom One Pro's
I change between these according to my needs and the songs i listen.
Though as i told earlier, audio is subjective. Try before you buy
I'm using Xiaomy Hybrid Dual Driver, too, and think about switching to Xiaomi HDPro or Sony MDR EX-450AP.
Generally speaking I prefer earbuds (I.e. in-ear headsets) over other solutions because they give good isolation and immersive sound.
Curious to see what other suggestions will be given here...
I am using Skull candy headphones for my op3
I've got the Sony MDR 10Rc and the Sennheiser cx300

Imo the Sony sounds better. They are more expensive and they're headphones whereas the Sennheisers are earphones. I use the Sennheisers when I'm on the go and the Sony's when I'm at home listening to music or watching a show etc.
I am using Apple Ear pods, sound is good but the volume control buttons of the earphones are not working
I'm using apple ear pods they sound really good tbh.
I use SoundMagic E10's for my Earphones. For headphones I use Audio Technica ATH-M50X's both awesome and inexpensive
Thanks for the replies guys but what about OnePlus Icons Graphite (the new one)

I like the Bose SoundSport earbuds
I use for years some replica of big Beats. Sounds fine on 3 HTC phones & now on OnePlus 3.
i use mee audio mduo, xiaomi piston basic and a jvc ha-fx1x , i can tell the most balanced are the mduo, great bass and trebs, the jvc ones are too basshead, the pistons delivers a greater sound/placement comfort ratio (those thins doesn't fall off even when running), but overall experience gets powered up with a good player, i use poweramp with hi-res output (no eq or tone enabled) + stock eq set on general enhancement + metal preset, i know theese are budget earbuds but they seemed to offer great quality over more expensive ones (shure se 215), hope this helped you

Wrong section. Belongs in accessories.
Beyerdynamics Byron wired headphones. Well balanced and addicted sound signature.
im using ve monk for $5 .. definetely a bang for the buck
Jaybird X3, best headphones I've had for a while, ever since I've got I didn't use any other headphones with the phone, wired or not.
Using Audio Technica m50x for a while now great headphones for the money
