Hi ive done a search and couldn't find my answer so was hoping someone can help me.
I really dont get on with my stock headphones that came with my s3 as they constantly fall out of my ears as do all the bud style ones, so guess im after some beats style over the head ones and also want to be able to use the mic so i can talk on calls without having to get the phone out of my pocket but have read that the mic on the beats ones doesn't work due to the way the plug is intended for apple devices.
So has anyone got any that they can recomend that will give good sound for my music and also let me use features of standard headphones.
cheers lee
There was a thread floating about regarding earphones with mics, do a little search in the S3 forums and you'll find. Off the top of my head though I can only think of Klipsch Image S4A's although they are earphones. There is also an adapter you can buy off ebay that you can plug your headphones into, which his a mic & line controls but the wire would be so long that I've avoided using it on my M2's since I can get enough bass out of the stock Samsung headset
Jaybird Bluetooth Earphones. I've tried everything and these are the best.
Jays a-jays one+. Not the best mic but great in ear canal buds for the money.

Cheers for replys but cant use the buds as really uncomfortable and always fall out of my ears so really need some that go over top of my ears.

Hi,
Could someone recommend decent (~up to 100 EUR) in ear earphones with volume control and mic that are compatible with xperia z3 compact?
Bought Sony Stereo Headset STH30 which are not in ear headphones, but at least the volume control works, then again I don't find them very comfortable, therefore I am looking for a similar in ear option.

These htc ones are confirmed working including volume buttons. I have bought them myself and they have pretty good sound which surprised me. Especially good with the mh750 preset.
They are comfortable, good looking, have tangle free wire and for that price you can't go wrong

I oerdered the Xiaomi piston 2 as every review says really good stuffs about it. Also this HTC really looks like the Xiaomi...
Just got my Moto X Pure today and retired my M9.
I know when I was originally looking at the X Pure, the biggest question on my mind was how the speakers compare to the M9? I am relieved to say the Moto speakers sound pretty good!
What's different? The Moto speakers are louder - Quite a bit louder actually, maybe 50%, without any breakup. It doesn't have the same hi-fi quality of sound the M9 has or the noticeably richer low end , but it still sound pretty good. I was also using Poweramp, which has a really good EQ and I have it set to bump up the bass a little and knock down the mids (1k) just a little to kill the "boxy" sound.
Like I said, this was a main concern in getting a different phone and the main reason I've stuck with the HTC One series for so long....They just sound really good. But over-all, I'm REALLY happy with the Moto X Pure and it's sound quality. I think if anyone is unsure about switching from an M9 for this reason, don't let it hold you back.....And honestly, it doesn't feel that much bigger either.
Sound on this thing is awesome... First time I have owned a phone and had to turn the volume down on it wile watching a video. Coming from nexus 5

I never doubt the quality of the moto x style speakers, but great to hear that you are satisfied
Finally will be able to hear my ringtones without it sounding like garbage
How is the placement of the headphone jack, does it prove to be a bother and is it awkward. And how is the sound quality through the headphone jack.
When having a phone conversation over speakerphone, only one speaker is functioning. I still have to turn it down from the max volume. I fiddle with the volume a few times until it is at a comfortable level.

The output from the headphone jack is a little lower than the M9, but the M9 was too loud, when turned up all the way, and would distort the auxiliary port on my car stereo.... The MXP doesn't push it to distort, even full volume.
I haven't tried it through headphones/earbuds yet, just in my auxiliary port in my car stereo......It sounded really good (no better or no worse than my M9). I did mess with the EQ on my music player, but ended up putting it about the exact same way as I had it on my M9. I've included a couple screen shots of my EQ settings, one is PowerAmp, the other is Shuttle+.
I also noticed under Settings>Sound & Notifications...There is a setting called "Audio Effects", which is a built in EQ, I haven't touched that setting yet. This may be normal for ROMs based on GPe (stock Android), but I've not noticed it on the custom ROMs I've ran in the past, unless I used Viper4Android or Dolby.
As for the headphone jack, it's fine where it is. It's not a deal breaker for me, but I do wish it was on the same side as the charging port. With my M9, when in my car I would plug in the charger and headphone jack, flip it upside down and stick it in my cup holder in my car. With it being on top and the charging port on bottom on the MXP, I can't do that.......So I just lay it in the passenger seat.

Your car does not have bluetooth? I never realized this problem of headphones and charging cable on opposite ends because of bluetooth. I also always put my phone in the cup holder upside down with the charger cable attached....

Glad to hear this. I'm coming from an M8, which isn't quite as good as the M9, but I do appreciate the quality of sound that comes out of the speakers on my M8. If you've owned an M8, how does the sound compare to that? It sounds like it might be on par with the M8, but not quite as good as the M9, would that be accurate?

I personally liked the M8 sound better than the M9, but that's just my opinion (that's a story for another day, I wish I kept my M8 instead of upgrading to the M9)...... But the MXP is still not quite as good, but good enough.
I used a different player (Shuttle+) and messed with the EQ on it and got it sounding REALLY good through the speakers. I think if both the M8/M9 were sitting next to the MXP and I was looking at them, I'd be able to tell the difference. If I closed my eyes and someone held one up playing a song, and asked which one it was..... I'm not sure I could tell the difference?
The HTC One phones have a certain Hi-fi sound through the speakers, the MXP isn't quite there but is really good IMO.
I guess it's a waiting game before we can run Viper4Android on this baby. I know V4A makes a huge difference on my Galaxy S5. I can't wait to try out the front facing speakers. Real Racing 3 is going to sound epic
Coming from an M8 this was really good to read!

That's kind of like asking for a suggestion for good food. There are thousands of headphones/ earphones/earbuds/etc.
What is your budget?
Headphones? Over the ear? On the ear?
Earphones?
Earbuds?
Optimized for flatness or emphasized on the bass or treble?
Waterproof? Sweatproof?
Noise cancelling?
Open or Closed back?
Custom or Universal fit?
Haven't heard anything about LG having good cans or buds. Even their expensive ones. I have the JBL tones expecting they'd be decent for music. Glad I only paid $60 and my company reimbursed me for Bluetooth headset. They're terrible for music. Only use them for extended calls as the isolation is built in from the buds and they're wireless and barely not around my neck. Wish they noise cancellation, and good noise cancellation because many product have poor noise cancellation and the isolation isn't great in loud environments. I wish Wolfson still sold their digital silence wired ear buds. Those are pretty good. And who knows Jawbone's future. They're broke.
If you want good cans or buds, I recommend beyerdynamic, Shure or Sennheiser in any order. There are some other good brands but it is usually limited to the high end stuff, like >$200. There also some bargains to found with lower end stuff though build quality or some other function might be compromised. You could also look around the DIY mod scene and see what cans or buds fit your budget and get better with cheap or free modifications.
Mine just shipped. I was number 3335. Once I get them I'll do a review if someone hasn't.
Mine also shipped

The LG Quadbeat 3 AKG version that came with the V10 in certain countries weren't bad according to what I've read about them.
Not sure exactly which earphones came with yours...does it have a model or a name?
Headphones/IEMs are very subjective to the individual and can't really be recommended unless more detailed information about what type you are looking for...
What type of music, where you will be using them and price.
With IEMs, the type of earphone tips are also very important regarding fit.
There is an abundance of headphones/IEMs to choose and need to be narrowed down.

The quadbeat 3 tuned by AKG isn't bad, haven't compared it to the supplied out of the box B&O (not referring to the H3).
TBH, I haven't even used any of the IEM that comes with the phone, the only IEM i'ved used is listed in my sig.

I love my MDR EX800ST!
Have you done the "tape mod" for tighter bass response?
I also enjoy my "bass head" MDR XB90EX
I'm sort of a "SONY" fan.

Place a piece of electrical tape over the vents.
This will increase and tighten the sub to mid bass without any sacrifice to the mids and highs.
Easy mod to remove if it isn't your cup of tea.

Thanks, not really into extra bass, just like the music naturally, with no mod, EQ is normally turned off on the phone and if I use my ZX2 I have everything turned off.
What's so special about these AKG earphones that come with the S8 and apparently cost $100?
I got $20 earphones from Pioneer and find the audio quality better & louder than the AKG which seem not loud enough sometimes. I tried to play with Equalizer but can't get any decent audio that makes me want to switch from my cheaper earphones.
My KZ ATES and ZS3 are better than most 100$ iems, and they cost only 10$ each

People said the sound improves tremendously after setting up adapt sound.
They are samsung headphones that akg worked over. I think they sound better than some highly rated ear buds, but I think most sound a little bit rolled off at the high end, while most think these sound a little emphasized at the high end.
Considering they are free, they are good indeed.
You can change up various settings and they sound good.
I also use poweramp and customise and tweek as required.
Try pushing them in your ears while you twist them so the cables face upwards. They lock into your ear canals and the volume and bass are improved quite a lot

Do you need to wear them backwards for them to fit your ears better? Left in right ear and right in left ear?
I'm happy with the sound from them but they slide out too easy for me, I might try some foam pads instead of the rubber ones they came with.
I think they sound great with adapt sound on. I used to think that earbuds couldn't sound that good because of there size. After using these I changed my mind and because I prefer the convenience of bluetooth headphones I bought the jaybird x3's which I love! They sound a lot better then the akg tuned headphones but those still sound great to me. Never buying over the ear or in ear headphones again!
