Best In Ear Headphones foe Nexus 4? - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Whould like to have suggestion from u guys what to buy,there are a lot good headphones, just make me confuse) what are u using , why they are good/bad? and thnx for ur help ):good:

I use the Bose Mie2i headphones daily and have never looked back.
The most secure in ear headphones I've ever had. (Was doing declined sit-ups and other workouts without them ever budging)
They also have fantastic sound for in-ear headphones. The price does put some people off though.

No such thing as the best in Ear headphones. It's subjective

You have to set a price range. I love meelectronics for sub $20 headphones. for about $30-60 you can pick up a set of FMJs from Skullcandy. Above that there are lots of great options like those listed above.

how well do the controls work? i heard the klipsch app is really bad.

Klipsch X10. I have these and they can be had for relatively cheap from Amazon. They are the most comfortable IEs I have ever owned/tried (Bose,Shure and other Klipsch models).
They sound incredible as well. Compare them to $500 Shure IEs.

For goodness' sake, please don't buy S4a IEs from BB at full retail. They often go on sale for 39.99 no tax. Keep checking Slickdeals.

i order one to try them, dont wanna spend like 100buks to headphones for phone. But i thin i would like to buy one klipsch s4a

I have used the international S3 and its volume is way toooo low. Nexus S is better even without voodoo sound. People have pretty much given up on getting stable voodoo sound for the S3 its been so freaking long there has been nothing. The amplifier is just plain inferior not only to the nexus S but to alot of other phones as well even the US S3 is more powerful. No amount of "clean" audio can make up for lack of volume.
Even the iphone 5 dropped the ball as far as power is concerned probably because of the "thin" BS that has surrounded the smartphone world now. Iphone 4S/4 and nexus S/galaxy S remain the best audio phones. Iphone is best out of the box but nexus S beats it after voodoo sound. Its almost shocking that we dont have voodoo sound like sound with stock, reviewers would have crapped all over it and it would be more recognized as the greatest audio smartphone ever.
I've heard the Innos D9 (rebranded in ph as cloudfone thrill 430x) and it comes close to the SQ of nexus s.
The owner believes it has a yamaha sound chip in it capable of producing the sound i was hearing. The sound is more "airy" and "wide" than that of the nexus s but the nexus s is noticeably more detailed.
Both devices are great performers sound-wise and it's just a matter of preference what to choose.

Wow that is good to know. Looks like my next phone won't be the s3 after all. I just presumed that since it had a Wolfson then voodoo would be available for it.
I love my nexus s. I think I will keep it for a long time yet.

Secondly, with that dog tag solution you can use whatever earphones you like.

Depends on whom you ask. I always give included headphones to my 14 year old daughter or my wife. Neither care how they sound just as long as both sides work.
Its not beats earphones SMH... It generic cheap ass headphones.

Have you used them? Cause they are actually better than every single headphones (non branded) that have come with phones to date. The quality for free earphones are actually pretty good. HTC have done a great job.
To answer the ops question they are generic earbuds. What do you want me to call them? Cheap China earbuds which they probably are
I have beats ear buds and seinhiser or whatever its spelled.
Probably will never use it.

[Q] Best semi-in-ear earbuds under $40?

I've had my N4 for a while, and I felt that the headset for the Nexus 4 that's sold on the Play isn't worth the money, so I went with the EarPods, however I don't like the feel of them. Are there any good earbuds that aren't fully in ear (like EarPods, semi-in-ear) that work well with the Nexus 4?
Got those from ebay.de, because I hate in-ear headphones and pretty much every headset on Amazon was in-ear. Don't know what is supposed to be so great about them... anyway you'll probably find them on ebay.com as well:
http://www.ebay.de/itm/290916539574?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649
They work fine and the sound is good for the price.
However I found it annoying that above the mic, there is still a quiet long cord to the left earpiece (like 40cm, the cord on the right one is even longer because it goes around your neck) because the mic has a 3,5mm socket itself and there is just a short pair of earphones in there. Of course that gives you the advantage of swapping those out. However you will have the problem of too much cord when you clip the mic to your shirt. (I just stuff the remaining cord in there )
Also the mic/button unit is a bit big for my taste, since it only has one button.
But, as I said, they work fine so far.
If you want spend a little more and get the Klipsch S4.

To be honest I never had any IEM before the Klipsch S4, you get used to it real quick and another thing is that they actually improve sound, isolation, comfortably better especially with the Comply foam tips. Trust me earbuds like apple and stuff sound flat and they'll never compare haha. Just try it man trust me. Save a little kore and you will not regret it.

Not really just watch the volume is all just like you do with the regular ones. All you gotta do is watch when you increase it is all.

At Walmart for $30 they are called yurbuds. Surprisingly these things rock!! They are in fact ear buds but they come with rubber like covers that slip over the ear buds. Not only does this funnel all the sound through to your ears but these things will not fall out. They are actually designed for people who run in triathlons. I play golf with them in and I'm very satisfied. Coupled with viper audio mod these are no joke!

Or Shure SE215s. I have some S4i IIs, and the SE215s are much better. Both the S4i II and the SE215s cost the same too. The cheaper normal S4s are great too though

I'd recommend getting the TX-100 for isolation or TSX-100 for max comfort.
EBay, I don't trust, and open box is a definite no no. Amazon for has the regular S4 for 50$ and the S4A with inline mic for 58$. S4i is normal inline mic, S4A is meant for Android. S4i will still work but the online mic will not.

Seriously, they are headphones. And they come with the Galaxy S4. As already stated any headphones will work. The only thing that separates headphones from one another is the quality and the price. Have you never owned a music player before?
