[Q] Anyone has tried Beyerdynamic MMX-101iE?

Hello everyone,
I found this headset Bayerdynamic MMX 101 iE accidentally just a while ago.
If anyone has tried it, can you please write your review here?
Edit: Is the sound quality good? Microphone quality? Compatibily with Desire?
http://europe.beyerdynamic.com/shop/hah/headphones-and-headsets/sports-and-on-the-way/mmx-101.html
This has caught my eyes since a few day ago but I can not find any reviews at all.
So, any words for this headset will be very appriciated since I need one right now.
Edit: Sorry misstyping by Beyerdynamic , it should be Bayerdynamic

Well...€99 still belongs to the middle class..there are still more with more expensive.
I think the price range between €70-€100 is the correct range for me, more than €100 is a bit too expensive.
Remember you get what you pay.
That type is competely new and there is still no real review available...perhaps I just have to wait for some time until the review is there.

more expensive

I have found several good ones above €100 but I am not planning to go that high.
It was launched during the musikmesse/music fair just a while ago so..it's kinda new and still without any convincing review.
I will have to wait until there are more review.

Hi Im fairly new to these forums but i can tell you that you cant go wrong with these. I bought these about a week ago and have been nothing short of stunned by the quality. They have great bass and really crisp clear midrange. I would say that these are better than the sennheisers and klipschs s2i that i have.
One thing to note is that make you play around with the earbuds as if you get them wrong they sound really flat and dull so make sure you get them to seal in your ears properly.

It is also a coincidence, yesterday I met some in train on the way home after work.
I asked if I can use it for a couple of minutes in the train, and he said yes.
My review within a few minutes:
1. sound quality is incredible for the price.
2. mic is also good.
3. unfortunately, no volume control or whatsoever except a button to pick up and hang up the call. (not really a big problem, not really in need of a mic and pick up button anyway).
4. metal housing for the ear pieces is awesome.
5. the cable looks extremely fragile to me. it is thin, not braided, etc.
(I am not sure of getting this headset because of this. This is the biggest downside. My current in-ear headphone (Klipsch Image S3) has just given up or lost its life just last night, the cable got broken again. The warranty is still there, but I don't want to claim it for the third time. I just prefer a new one instead of waiting weeks for claiming. It must be something wrong with how I store the headphone in my bag ).
6. Ear plug/bud don't fit my ears perfectly, I have tried on the one attached tho'. (It could be another problem)
I also found Philips SHO9560 (O'Neal stretch). It looks super robust but doesn't have good sound relatively compared to mmx-101i. Its look is also very appealing.
Now, I'm confused.

Way too expensive for me.
For the same price (or cheaper) I would get headphones/earphones from already proven company: Sennheiser.

Update:
Phillips SHO9560 sounds teribble.
MMX101ie doesn't really fit my ear...it comes off often (unless I get the individual package, but it is too expensive)...I don't wanna get an in-ear anymore...getting something which fits my ear is just a matter of luck...
No AKG products fits my huge head size (honest), I like the sound of AKG K518 but it is too small for my head, tried also 430, 420, 520, etc....
This is official! I hate AKG! This company never thinks of people with huge head like me! It is discrimination!
Sony XD300, XD500...sounds dark (bass too strong, trebble not clear)
Dr. Dre Solo HD is too expensive for the quality I am getting.
I will look for some more...Sennheiser, Denon, Bose, etc....
What I hate is that Desire can not really pull Sennheiser PXC450 (I own one at home and I use it mostly during flights or at home)....volume gets too low even on max.
Sh*t it is not easy to find the correct one!

Late response!
I just found this thread after looking into the MMX101 iEs myself - what was your solution in the end? I really like these headphones and fortunately they fit my ears; unfortunately though, the mic and answer button did not work, so I'm having to send them back. Hopefully the replacements will work fine!
Did you settle on over-ear headphones in the end? Given your situation I would have recommended the Sony MDR-V500 - great headphones, excellent range, solid bass response which is punchy but doesn't overwhelm the mid-range, and amazingly cheap considering!
Hope you managed to get this sorted anyway.

I've got these. Nothing short of awesome. The sound quality at all levels is incredibly crisp and you don't use any equaliser settings/tweaks as the ear phones sort all that out for you. Had mine for two years now and need a new set and will definitely buy the same ones again.
Also get 3 pairs of different size buds depending on what suits your ear best.

Someone can confirm the microphone and remote of Beyerdynamic MMX-101 works with android?
Thanks

That does not depend on OS (Android, iOS, Windows). The "problem" is different layout of rings on the 3.5mm connector with different phone manufacturers ("microphone" and "ground" rings are swapped). It's natively compatible with iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch, Blackberry and HTC. If you want them to work correctly with Nokia, Sony, Samsung, Motorola, LG and other models you have to buy a separate adaptor.

I bought V-Moda M100 in the end.
It is expensive but worth every single penny I spent

multimedia dock?

It doesn't look like samsung has released a media/desktop dock for the skyrocket and it looks like the t-mobile sgsII (t989) cradle might work... any one have an opinion on this?
Should I just wait and see if Samsung will release a dock specifically for the skyrocket?

I would assume it will work because they are similar in size but not exact.
In my opinion I would buy it at a t mobile store and if it does not work then return it. This is where the online purchasing might not work so well - might be hard or costly to return an item.
Here are the dimensions:
SkyRocket- 5.11 x 2.71 x 0.37 (129.8 x 68.8 x 9.49 mm) Galaxy SII T-Mobile- 5.11 x 2.71 x 0.37 (130 x 69 x 9 mm)

The microphone holes are on the wrong side on the dock for tmobile.....If you go to att store you can buy a INFUSE dock that also has the mic on the wrong side and its only 29.99 and works great because that is what i am using and also go 20% accessories under my plan so I got the dock for 23 including tax....hope this helps...thanks

The T-Mobile dock does not work with Skyrocket. The corners of Skyrocket seem to be less rounded and prevent the phone from going into the dock completely.

Thanks for telling us the difference. It will save me the trouble of trying it out.

Using the P500 to listen to music while playing basketball?

Hey,
my intenion is basically described in the title, I want to listen to music with my P500 while I'm shooting some hoops. To be able to do that I need some things though.
1. Some kind of band that lets me properly attach the P500 to my arm, does anyone know a band like that? (I have searched but didn't find anything yet)
2. Good headphones that stay in my ear while playing basketball. I've found some on amazon, but pretty much all of them had mixed reviews, can anyone recommend me good sport (basketball) headphones?
Thanks in advance!

just try to use the phones speakers it's much better

I think it's a really bad idea
I mean you'll whole the time jumping and shooting will be annoying to have something too heavy sticked to your body

get a chest holster, then modify it from a gun to your phone.
Then try some of the panasonic sport headphones

Use backhead headphones

I don't think this would work so well attached to your arm. There is a lot of movement going on around the arm so I think the headphones would get in the way. I think either putting it in your pocket and under your shirt or attaching some kind of holster at the hip and under the shirt would work best. I'm speaking from what I've seen.

The headphone, you should use a bluetooth headphone, right?
There's a earphone wich is a small arc, all you need to do is to put that arc around your ear and play...
About the case, I don't know anything wich might be that secure, cause while playing, you're shaking your body a lot, so this case would be very useful for those who wants to practice any sport...

Also, there are some arm straps for iphone-touch nokia like. Since the sizes of the phones are similar, you can give 'em a try.

I agree with this its too heavy when your playing ANY sports

You could wear a belt and attach a phone holster.

"get a chest holster, then modify it from a gun to your phone."
I can picture a Curb Your Enthusiasm episode based on this.

I use it for jogging.. but there are no jumps, plus the swept can damage it

In ear headphones are the best for physical activity, in ear blue tooth ones will be best, although i have not been able to get my hands on them

I've paird Nokia bh-214 bluetooth headphone with Optimus V. When I exercise at the gym, this is what I use. However, experience tells me, optimal distance between the two devices is about 30 feet (with no wall). This may not help OP.

Best VR Headset?

Was wondering if anybody is using this device for VR and how is the experience? I have never used a VR headset but i would like to know what are some of the best/ most recommended headsets available. I've seen the Zeiss VR One headset but not really sure if there are any features or pros that would make this set a viable purchase over say a 15-40 dollar set off of amazon. Far as i know the only features any of them offer is adjusting focal length/distance? Nothing to spend an extra 60 bucks on.
PS: A large 5.7 QHD screen with stereo front facing speakers seemed perfect for VR hence one of the main reasons i decided to go with this phone over my other top picks. Might as well get the most out of the experience lol

Can the Gear VR games and software be used on other headsets

No the Gear VR only works with very certain Samsung handsets such as the Galaxy S6 and S7 Family of Devices. But there are other VR Headsets under the name of Google Cardboard all over amazon etc that will work with Android phones as long as that VR Headset supports a screen size that your phone has.

The P2 from Dodo Case is a great starting VR Headset. It's currently at $18. I love it. As the market sits currently, there is no reason to purchase a $100+ VR Headset. The support is not all there, and the VR apps are just beginning to grow. I'd say purchase a cheap cardboard VR Headset so you can test it out, and later, once more support and more demanding applications are made, then purchase a real VR headset. It's been reported that Google themselves will create a more sophisticated VR Headset, and with LG's, HTC's, Sony's, Samsung's respective headsets, will create a hopefully amazing and demanding market for VR.

the most reasonable ones ive seen were destek and vr box. there about 25 dollars and look to be pretty comfortable

I really like the design of this one.
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B01B4DK0WO?m=A28UPC11K5E82V&ref_=v_sp_widget_detail_page
Pleasing to the eye and looks comfortable.

I am using google cardboard v2, very interesting project, and its good to get familiar with VR world.

Using the ViewMaster, got them for $15 from amazon warehouse. This phone just fits without much wiggle room but it fits. They feel very solid and my kids love them.

I have the FreeFly VR and that really has been very good.

currently i use a homido. the adjustability is ok since you can swap the lenses out easilly for near/far sighted. the main difference between them function wise is some allow for pupillary distance and focal length adjustments *look for dials on the side and top* and optics. the zeiss headset has a very high quality optics set. but you can get by with a cheaper one with a few mods very easilly. *you may have to custom make a headband or padding so you can wear it continuousely.
An option i would look into is a bluetooth controller. can get one for a couple bucks and will save you a lot of headaches from having to take the phone out of the headset to start an app or something.

I got a WeAreVR headset from amazon! Can't expect Gear VR quality from a 30 dollar headset but it ain't to bad for an early experience. Not really sure of too many worthwhile VR experiences yet outside of the big money ones, but as a cheap headset for youtube videos occasionally it's not half bad.

Any updated recommendations for VR headsets for my Moto X pure? I'm in the market. Thx!

I got fiit VR and it's pretty good imo

Anyone know if you can use the netflix VR app with moto x pure and a headset? I think i saw its only supported by the daydream product line?

I like a lot the BOBOVR Z4, a little pricier than the usual 18$ Chinese headset, but it has a good built and lens quality

I am using One Plus headset its pretty decent for the price.

Zeiss One plus.
Sorry to dredge up a slightly dead thread.. But..
Supposedly Zeiss are going to release a kit, which lets you connect the Zeiss VR One Plus to your computer, so the headset functions more as a Rift HMD, which will also allow compatibility with Steam VR.
This sounds pretty nice, since the VR One Plus, supposedly does not need any adjustments to lenses (I am constantly fidgeting with my 20€ china headset, and never getting a great image) and also the high resolution on the X-Style should make for decent sharpness.
And.. Supposedly a set with the VR One Plus and the connection kit, should cost about 150$, which isn't too bad, if it works.
Obviously still needs to be released, reviewed and available near me.. But I am a bit excited.
Question though.. The Seizz VR One Plus website, states that it works with phones up to 5.5", and the X-style/pure is 5,7".. It has a fairly small bezel, but still.. Anyone have any experience with this headset ?
Thank in advance.
(Edit.. What the hell.. 150$ in first article.. Next article states about 200€... That EU tax hits hard sometimes..)

[Review] Choetech VR headset

I was sent a Choetech VR headset to review, I'd never tried Google cardboard or any other VR apps before but I've got to say I'm impressed. Here's a copy of my review:
My first try of VR and all I can say is wow.
The quality of these glasses is very good for there low price, they come in a well presented box with easy to follow instructions.
The device I'm using with them right now is my nexus 6p, the device only just fits but that was what I expected as the 6p is one of the largest smartphones out there and hardly any VR headsets are compatible. The fit is snug but secure using the headsets spring clip, you have to make sure to put the buttons on the side of the phone at the bottom of the headset to avoid the phone turning itself off, a problem I've had with many car mounts due to the poor placement of the buttons by Huawei.
One the device is securely fitted you can adjust the lens placement using the provided dials which is something not many other headsets offer.
The headset is very comfy and I'm able to wear if for long periods of time.
I tried this with numerous apps and even though some other reviews said that lack of a physical button was a problem on this device I found I didn't need one and if needed a Bluetooth mouse could be used to help navigate.
I would definitely recommend this product to anyone considering a VR headset.
Hope this review helped someone else.

My V20 is slightly larger than my 6p. You say that it barely fit...... Have you tried the V20?
Sent from my VS995 using Tapatalk

Sorry no I don't know anyone with a V20 I could try either
Just to give you an idea how tight it is I had to remove my case so my 6p would fit.

Same headset
This same headset is sold in India by Irusu . Its called Irusu Monster. Exactly same product (ie. ripoff).
