Hi to all,
I bought my beautiful Sony Z5 in november 2016. In my market the earphones are not included, so I'm using the earphone of my old Xperia S, and sometimes the Sony NWZ-WH303 together with a noontec cable with in-line microphone. The latter is a good solution but not so comfortable, in summer especially. Now I'm looking for something in-ear but performing better than old xperia S earphone. Which kind of earphone (with microphone) are you using? Which one do you recommend?
Thanks
My Xperia never came with any earphones so I've been using the LG QuadBeat 3 earphones from an relatives phone.
These are pretty good but I can't compare them to those earphones you mentioned as I haven't got them.
I'm not a audiophile but I'd reckon any cheap branded ones will do but be careful of knock offs on eBay; as they will sound terrible.
I have used in ear noise cancelling ones (old white thick flat cables ones that HTC used to produce back in 2011) and they hurt my ears and the sound quality was pathetic it sounded like you were underwater... The newer models I believe don't have the in ear channel model that have this.

If you have enough money then you have to try BOSE Sport In-Ear headphones without microphone., sound quality is really good. Xiaomi Pro HD headphones is also good for a cheaper price, little heavy.

I red a lot of positive review on the Xiaomi. They have a very good quality/price ratio. I'm also looking at the Sony EX450AP and the Sennheiser CX3.00. Do you have some experience with these?

I used CX300, sound quality is good but not material quality. Your choice..
https://en-us.sennheiser.com/hd1-headphones-in-ear-with-mic
These are outstanding for the money. I used to use the CX300 (which are a very good value for $30 or whatever), upgraded significantly to IE80s, then lost the IE80s and went back to the HD1s. Love them.
Though I did just get some JLabs JBuds 2 for $2 this week, which - surprisingly - aren't terrible. But, noticeable different between those and the HD1s, even without an amplifier.
i normally use sennheisers which i use pretty much everyday until they recently died.
but just bought these ones: https://www.banggood.com/BlitzWolf-...e-With-Microphone-p-1110873.html?rmmds=search and for its price im pretty impressed.

I just bought the Xiami hybrid pro on gearbest at a very low price... Now I'm waiting for their arrival.
I'll update you with my first impressions!
Thank to all of you
I'm using xiaomi hybrid pro since 2 weeks and I have to admit that they are really good. I really wasn't totally sure that with just 19 euros was possible buy a so good product. The volume of music is very good, they are well balanced for any kind of music. I listen a lot of kinds but above all rock, rap and classical. The basses are not too emphasized like a lot of competitors products. I noticed that when used with Z5 the volume is a bit low, especially in loudy places, bus the soundproofing is well made so is not a big issue. They are very stable and comfortable also during long walks. Also the quality during calls is pretty good. In my opinion they are the only possible choice in this price range!
I really like "scullcandy" earphones,the bass they produce is amazing,been scullcandy customer for over 3 years now

Hi,
I'm looking for a god headset that satisfy me. My first prob is that the thread is knotted. I'm looking for somethings that ca n avoid this problem.
I want use headset, because I think that using phone attached to head is not safe (for me). So I would avoid any kind of micro waves, around my head.
Where can I look for it?
TIA

I have the Xiaomi Piston 2, which you can find on Amazon for ~$25. Be aware that there are fakes, so don't buy anything less than $22 (I personally got mine from "Robert's super store" a month or so ago; look at reviews for reputable sellers).
All of the controls work properly on the Z3 - volume, middle click (single click for pause, double click to skip, hold to voice dial). Sound quality is quite good for the price. The mic is passable, nothing special.
I use an MEElectronics M-Duo its about $50 now, but as good as many $100+. Its very durable and can take some abuse.

sony sbh 52
I am using sony sbh 52 and it is very good for a decent music lover. only downside is its price is a bit high
I'm using the Triplefi 10vi 3 armature earphones I've had for a few years. The sound is noticeably improved compared to my GS3. This phone has a high quality sound chip. I know there are a few different manufacturers that make good audio processors for smartphones and would be interested in knowing what Sony uses on the Z3/Z3v. It could be their own too since they fabricate about everything besides the cpu.
Sony XBA-H1
Just don't get the overpriced Bose IE2, which started losing the rubberized covering of the wires in less than 6 months for me and audio sucked, compared to my M-Duo.
Hello guys can anyone suggest me what is the best quality earphones from this two for my S5 and are below earphones are original ???
or can anyone suggest me a good quality earbugs for $20 to $30

I've heard Skullcandy nought out a small high-end brand and basically took their technology and olincorporated it into their own lines. Now I don't know how true that is. But I can definitely say their quality has improved. Whether it's from buying out a high end company or investing in their own tech. Personally I'm a big fan of Monster. I have a pair of Turbine Pro Copper ear buds that sound incredible. I haven't heard a different pair of buds that sound better. To give you an idea if how much skullcandy has improved, a friend of mine gave me a pair of Beats Studio headphones that I've been using with an inline mic as my gaming headset until I get the one I really want (which ironically are about 25% of the cost of this Beats pair that we both ended up being very underwhelmed by). U apologize for rambling. But without hearing either, I'd buy the Skullcandy of the two. Also, do keep in mind, audio devices are very user specific. That's why there's many high-end brands and not one single "best". If possible, I would suggest buying both pairs from a shop with a decent return policy, have your own little head-to-head review and then return the loser. And lastly, don't undervalue the source either. There may be comparable/better options available now, but Viper4Android has made a significant improvement to my music quality. But you do need root if you don't have it. I look forward to see what you decide. Good luck

The offical website wont deliver it to our country
If u know a good place to buy please end me a link
Um a music fan
And i love to listen to music
thankyou again
To be honest, if the bid stays about the same on these:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/MONSTER-TUR...739?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item1a02b3ba33
I couldn't suggest a pair of earbuds more. Because not many people know about em, they end up selling for far less than they're worth. And the best part is, they have a no questions asked replacement warranty. You trash your $300 earbuds, they replace em no issue. And if you can grab em at $50, it's sooooo worth it. I'll do some more research on the skull candy buds. But those are the exact buds I own and I've never heard headphones that sound better. They have like 16 ear pieces to fit your ear perfectly. And I didn't know how important that was until I used em. If you're dead-set on skullcandy, I'll do more research on em. But if the bidding stays low on those Turbines, I can't suggest them enough. I absolutely love mine and got em for 50% off at $150 and don't regret a second of it. Though I will still check into the skullcandy for you in the meantime
well I spoke to my friend that has the Skullcandy over-ear headphones. They're called Skullcandy Crusher. They have incredible range and a bass boost knob that allows you to go about as bass heavy as you could possibly need. I believe he paid $80 for them. Which is a bit out of your price-range, but the audio quality is fantastic. Not as goog ss the Monster Turbine Pros that I suggested, which are earbuds. But still WELL worth the money. I will continue to look into their earbuds specifically, but those headphones are fantastic
You should take a look over the Sol Republic Track series. Those are good headphones and the headband is made of a flexible plastic that are virtually indestructible

Mi offers good quality iem very cheap, but you will have to find a trust worthy source, as there are many fakes on Ebay and from online sellers.
Try the amazon premium headphones.
I"m a fan of Apple's EarPods because they fit well in my ears. The amazon headphones are similar in shape and all of the buttons are completely compatible.
This is the most reliable headphone reviewer I've found on the net: http://theheadphonelist.com/headphone-list/
He covers equipment from $10 earbuds to custom in-ear monitors that can run well into the thousands, so you're getting a broad range of experience.

There're two models. I have second version which is better. (less likely to break the cables)
For over-ear headphones I'd use my current (albeit pricey pair)- Sony MDR 1RNC
Alternatively for in-ear headphones, try Sennheiser Momentum IN Ear earphones- they're fantastic and you can get them with an in-line mic.
Just make sure you buy the ones specifically for Android as there is also a pair compatible with Apple in line controls.

First, do you mean Headphone or Earphone?
If you mean Earphone, do you need inline remote?
If you need the remote, Samsung's OEM Earphone is quite good.
Earphone
Budget : Mid-Hi
Sony Earphones is great, just browse online for your preferred price/quality ratio.
Philips Earphone. Also browse online for price/quality ratio
Sennheiser Earphones
Headphones
Budget : Hi
Sony MDR-10R (with inline remote)
Sony MDR-1R (with inline remote)
Sony MDR-1A (with inline remote)
Sony MDR-1RBT (Bluetooth with remote)
Sony MDR-1ABT (Bluetooth with remote)
Philips Fidelio Series
Sennheiser Momentum Series
Logitech Ultimate Ears Series
I'm using Sony MDR-1ABT for now & it costs around USD400.
I get it from an online shop in my country.
I choose Sony MDR-1ABT because :
It has great battery life, around 30 hours of nonstop music play
It has a great audio quality
It has cable option
It support High Fidelity / High Definition audio (24Bit 194KHz) through cable
It support near HiFi quality through Bluetooth
Great look
Comfortable Earpad for long time usage
Can be used for answering phone
It has NFC for quick connect
Battery can be replaced if it's broken (non user replaceable though, but I can do that )

I'm currently using a pair of Ausdom earphones. I used to hunt good quality earphones at cheap price from SlickDeals.
When on the road, I need something reasonable in every aspect, reasonable in price and performance. The earphones that meet those criteria for me are Sony MH-1 and Xiaomi Pistons 2.1. The Sonys are a little more bassy, but the older, cheaper models (the MH-1Cs I think) need a OMTP to CTIA adaptor (dirt cheap) to work correctly. The Xiaomi pistons are incredibly beautiful to me, have great feel and built quality and they are equally cheap.
When at home, I use the Nokia WH-930 by Monster, good enough for me.
Here is the king of low budget earphones : https://www.monoprice.com/Product?p_id=8320
They are $5 right now and according to several tests, you will hardly find anything better for less than $30.
I am using the stock ones and they're quite good.
I find the stock ones pure garbage. Using shure se215.
I have been using the new Vmoda wireless. Awesome bluetooth headset!!
http://v-moda.com/crossfade-wireless/
RE-400 by HiFi-man.
About $100 CAD and sound amazing.
Just brought Aukey Bluetooth 4.1 earbuds. Good sound quality and nice texture. Now £12.99 with code. You could find the code on the amazon product page.

I Use JBL J33 with my Enyos Note 4. Didn't like the way the original ones sound.
Im loving the music and have so much headphone at the same time but the best is the samsung level over ( i have beats solo 2 and studio but thease are worst so much aspect)
Since the Nexus 6P comes without headphones, I was wondering which headphones everyone is using, and how much did it cost them? Would you recommend them to others? If you have tried more than once pair of headphones (wired or wireless) which one would you recommend?
I'm using the XBA-A3's at work and on the go: http://amzn.com/B00FJISZ28 They use a hybrid driver - pairing both a dynamic driver with two balanced armature drivers to create a fantastic sound.
I wear them about 6 hours per work day. They are by far the best sounding headphones I own. That's saying something, as I also own Sennheiser HD 650's, AudioTechnica ath-m50x, Shure SRH-840, Blue MoFi's, and Vmoda Crossfades which I use with my laptop and various portable/desktop headphone amps/dacs.
In searching for the best earbuds, I purchased and returned the RHA t20i, Shure 425s, Sennheiser Momentums, B&W C5s, and Audio-Technica ATH-CKR10... none of which were bad by any stretch of the imagination. The Audio Technica CKR10s are the closest to the XBA-A3, in my opinion. The XBA-A3's have an edge in mid and high end clarity in my comparisons. Balanced armatures for the win. I also prefer the over-ear wire guide and detachable cables. Also, most of those listed above don't have an in-line mic, which the Sony's do have. So, the A3's won, and I'm loving them daily.

Sennheiser HD800's with a chord Hugo amplifier.
~$2200 and sounds wonderful. Would recommend it any day.
I've always used my Audio Technica ATH-ESW9 for whenever I'm away from my T1 at home. They're around $200 new and I got mine for $120 like new off of Amazon a couple years ago. One thing I've always like is the sound signature of the ESW9 deviates from the rest of the Audio Technica offerings, and it's an absolute joy for listening to acoustic instruments. Brownie points for using real wood too. Along with the durable lambskin leather, part of the reason why I prefer them for portable use, the ESW9 provide decent isolation without muting your surroundings when they're properly seated on your ears. Call me paranoid, but too much isolation is why I don't use earbuds; I see it as a hazard.
LG HBS-810, paid about $85, plus $15 for some comply foam tips. Can't complain.
Sony XB-90EX (About 120$ import) with Gain ramped to 5 and the new powerAMP, I think I'm sold until the hybrid tips wear off.

I'm a basshead and this is my first "In-ear" monitors. I've also been and will be sony's XB fanboy and these pair just blew my mind.
JVC FX850s, though the phone's output & internal DAC makes them sound like crap (coming from Note 4). V4A doesn't make it much better. Placed an order for a cheap portable DAC, FiiO K1.

Great to hear, fan of the bass myself... thanks for the post..
They're currently somewhere between Japan and Manchester
I'm using Sony MDR-EX650 Earphones with Brass Housing, Smartphone Mic and Control. By far the best in ear headphones I've ever bought, and I'm really hard to please when it comes to sound quality. The sounds take is incredibly open for in ear headphones. I can hardly feel them in my ears, the bass Is punchy without making the sound muddy. Fantastic, really glad I bought the 6p, and these headphones. Got them for £60 but can get them for around £40 online
Bose QC 20's ("Samsung Model" which is their Android version) All of the buttons work (vol+,-, play/pause) and it has ANC with an 'active button'. The active mode gives you mild noise canceling with enhanced speaking level tones for running/working out. I paid $300 for them this past summer and I don't regret it at all. I own 5 pairs of Bose headphones total (QC 20's, Freestyle, SiE 2's, OE 2's and the True Sound over ear ones)
Been using the latest xiaomi in ear pro these past two weeks, it is a hybrid : 1ba and 1 dynamic. Bass seem overpowered (i'm not a basshead), mid a bit high and buttons (mic n vol) works with my music player (black player ex), build quality is great for the price. I would recommend this Xiaomi (i got it for around $28 ) for 'on the go' earphones. For 'serious listening' i use my red Shure 535LE with black oyaide cable.
I'm rocking a V-Moda Crossfade LP2 - picked them up as open box off eBay for $99 and added the XL foam ear pads from V-Moda, also an eBay purchase. They sound ridiculously good, and the ear pads make these comfy af. The inline remote does NOT work though, but it worked on a Lumia - go figure, as Apple and MS have a patent deal. >.> Get with it Google! I miss pausing my music or summoning Cortana with the Play/Pause button on the cable.

I've got a few hooked up for different purposes, Grado SR325i are my hands down favorite for sound but unless I'm sitting still in a quiet room they're not so wonderful.
Realistically though, my MPOW Cheetah Blueetooth get the most play time. $16 on sale. They don't sound anywhere as nice as my RE0's (which I bought so long ago I don't remember the price, definitely more than $16 though), but the whole wireless headphone thing is just so darn practical and the battery life is good enough that I would definitely recommend them.
I've been using Audio-Technica M50x's ($133) around the house and Klipsch S4's ($99) or Jbuds ($35) while out and about. Very happy with all of them.
I use some jbl wireless in ears, bose qc 20s, and sennheiser momentum in ears.
Beats PowerBeats2 Bluetooth for cardio. Paid $100 on Black Friday. I think at $100, its pretty good. Battery life is amazing. Sound is decent. But I wouldn't pay full price for them.
Shure SE215 for everything else. Paid $100 for them.
Bose QC15 for flights which I haven't traveled much lately so its not used ah much. Forgot how much I paid. Maybe $300ish.
I also have Bose IE2, Audio Technician M50 but those are rarely used.

For wireless listening, I use a pair of Jaybird Bluebuds X. They work ver well and sound pretty good.
For wired listening, I have a pair of Klipsch S4is that I use when the BlueBuds are out of battery, and mostly for calls. My favorite pair are the Vmoda Crossfade LP2. The Vmoda give me the best sound out of all my headphones, but I don't like wearing them for extended periods of time. The Vmoda inline controller button does not work on the 6P by the way, and the same applies to many stock headphones for some reason.
I backed The Dash on Kickstarter two years ago and it looks like I should finally be getting mine in the next month or two. I'm very excited to get them to replace the BlueBuds, but Bluetooth sound quality will never match wired units.

Unless you are an audiophile, I will recommend the Mpow Wolverine: http://amzn.com/B017I50T0K. They are cheap and the sound is excellent in my opinion. Additionally, they work perfectly with "Ok Google" commands, I mean detecting the "OK Google", which I have found to be inconsistent with other wireless or wired headphones. The microphone is on the volume control bar, so it is closer to your face and phone calls are really clear.
I also own the Mpow Swift: http://amzn.com/B00PW3B194, which I bought first. These are not as good, the sound is not the best in my opinion. I use them at work to listen to music and news podcast, so I don't need real good sound, as I keep the volume very low. The microphone in this one is on the right-ear headphone, so people have trouble hearing me if it is windy.
PS: No, I don't work for Mpow, I bought them because I found them on sale, so I paid $9.99 for each one.
I'm looking for headphones that make full use of the hi-fi dac and are not expensive. Will be buying from amazon India
Best and cheap. Those two don't come together.
You can try for VE BIE or the Pistons. Bear in mind that these two options punch above their price in weight but does not mean they make full use of the DAC. It might just make good use of the DAC. For full use, you might have to get an actual proper IEM which you should expect to run upwards of USD200 at least
Recently released MI DUAL DRIVER EARPHONES are literally the best in both bass and treble department. Rs800. Initial reviews on YouTube are praising Xiaomi for this new product in terms of sound stage. Google them
Before the release of MI DUAL DRIVER Earphones, i purchased Realme Buds 2 wired, these realmebus2 sound decent when on MIUI roms( not so great on CustROms).. but they sound really good in Realme phones than MI phones.. don't know why..
though the Noise, and overlapping of sounds are more in RealmeBus2, i like them to use for some time.. listening to BASS prominent songs feels like i am keeping home theatre maybe Dolby or viperFx can cause good audio.
will update my usage after sometime. :highfive:
Definitely KZ ES4 or KZ ZSN. I've used Xiaomi triple driver before and it was average as triple driver goes. KZ on other hand is superb.
I don't know what's expensive to you or what you really look for in terms of IEMs(I assume you want in ears). The pair I've been using for the past ~1.5 year is the most expensive I've ever bought at ~$30, the Tin Audio T2 and I'm very happy with them.
I like my IEMs balanced as I mostly listen to metal and bass heavy sound signatures tend to muddy guitar riffs and make rawer genres sound even tinnier then they already do. You need to find out what type of sound works best for the music you hear and what you like, this is mostly a matter of personal preference and a pair of earphones that sounds really good to you may not sound all that nice to someone else.
I suggest you check out audiobudget.com, I have no affiliation but the guys does some good reviews of inexpensive IEMs that range from $5 to $50

Take a look at the Sony MH755s, literally replaced all of my current IEMS because they sound so good. You can get them for 3-4 usd, but you need to recable them.
Blon bl03 best for the price
You can try RHA MA 390 or 500 in same brand
You can order it on headphone zone.com
With adjusting mids increase in equaliser the sound quality is rich with good sound stage...
That headphone has 3 year warranty also
