Sony MDR-ED12LP Earbuds (Silver) 10 bucks on amazon
Not sure if these have been mentioned yet. But they provide incredible sound for the price. They have great bass, without drowing out everything else. they fit comfortably and never fall out while exercising. Ive had my pair for about a year now.

I am looking for some help deciding on a pair of earphones to use with my One X. I'm looking in the $50-$100 range, and it has to be on Amazon, because I have some gift cards to use on there.
I mainly want a good pair of headphones that have a remote on them that works well with the One X. I've narrowed down my choices a little bit, but I'm having a hard time deciding.
My first option, and one I've nearly settled on a number of times, only to become indecisive again, is the Klipsch Image S4A II. I've read pretty good things about those sound wise, including a number of recommendations on here, and from what I've read, it seems like the remote control on it works pretty well on the One X, though if some one here have had a different experience, please speak up. I can get those for $79 shipped on Amazon.
Another option is the Beats headphones that shipped with the HTC Sensation and Rezound. I know a lot of people are anti-Beats, but I really don't mind the more bass heavy aspect, and I've read these work pretty well with the One X. That's one thing I'm curious about, I've read the remote controls work well on the One X, do they really work? Also, based on some reviews of them on Amazon, there seem to be some durability issues, I'm wondering what experience anyone who owns/owned them has had. I can get them for $51.99 shipped on Amazon, if I go for ones that have been repackaged, or for more in the $60 to $70 range if I go for completely new.
Another option is the Etymotic HF2. I've read a lot of good things about these in reviews, and I could get them for $77.10 shipped on Amazon, which seems to be a pretty good deal for a pair the normally sells for over $100. There are two things about these that I'm not sure about. First of all, I've seen mixed reports on how well the remote on this works with the One X. According the Etymotic website, this version is meant to work with Android phones, and I've seen some things say if you use it in conjunction with one of the many headset control apps on the Play Store, it works well, but I haven't seen much specifically saying how well it works on the One X. The second thing I'm not sure about is the sound of these. Most reviews I've read say they have excellent sound, that is very balanced or neutral. I tend to prefer a more warm, slightly bass heavy sound, so I'm not sure if I would enjoy these as much. In fact, I've seen comments that recommend them, but say if you prefer a more warm, bassy sound, go for the Klipsch S4A. I've also seen mentioned on here, however, that if you use them and just turn on the Beats setting on the phone, that will give you the more bassy sound.
My last option has one big thing against it, but otherwise looks like a pretty good option. It is the Klipsch Image X10. Obviously the big thing against it is the lack of remote, which I would really like/need, because I use mine in situations where getting my phone out of my pocket to pause a song, skip a track, etc... is not very feasible. The main reason I even have them as an option is they were $300 plus headphones at one time that I can get for $84.99 shipped from Amazon. I have a few questions here. First of all, being a formally $300 plus pair of headphones, do they really sound that much better then say the S4A IIs or my other options?. I can't find much on this specific aspect, but I've seen comments that they really aren't that much better than the S4s. The second question, is it possible to get a remote control cord to plug in with these, so I can still get the remote ability? I know there are plenty of cords made like that work with the iPhone, but I haven't been able to find much about what, if any, of those chords work well with Android phones.
Sorry for the long post, but hopefully some people can help me make my decision. I'm still leaning toward the S4A IIs right now, both because I think I would like their sound signature and the remote that seems to work pretty well, but I certainly could be swayed a different direction.

I just got in smart buds by zagg and the foam ear tips that come with them really increase the already great noise isolation! Plus they go around your neck so the wires are out of the way when exercising. You should check them out, for under $50 they're a steal.

Dear Friends, i read 2-3 the forum topics about headphones. and still didnt find an answer. Here it goes, im looking for a headphones(really?), controls applied. Now i made my self a list of interesting earphones:

5. Sony 1262-3330 Smart Headset with SmartKey Control Wired
6. JayBird JF3
7.Sennheiser CX 300B MK II Precision
8. beats tour (in the list in sake of completeness)
Now i will be using them for jazz, classical, and some rock/blues music. Overall quality, sound quality/ear fitting/noise cancellation/answering the call is main objective.

You should listen to the views of Vivanco Aircoustic SFA 3039 Sound.
For very little money you can get it cheap and has. My opinion for very good quality
Price performance fully in order!
Something you should take a look at are the apple earpods. I absolutely hate apple with my life, but the earpods are an attractive option with Inline mic for under 30 bucks. Can't really go wrong. (except for the whole apple thing)

Try SoundLogic Dynabass headphones. I have them and they are one of the best I've ever had. I'm running Viper XL right now and its the perfect combination. The bass is deep, everything else is crisp and clear. They were a steal at only $10 bucks.

I would give it a try for NOCS ns400 or NS200 in that price range. I was click away of ordering them but then decided to go for bluetooth as mentioned above. Full info NOCS

I recently picked up the Klipsch Image S4A II. What sold me on them was the inline remote that you can customize with the klipsch android app.
I was debating picking up the bose in ear headphones, but I decided against them after hearing about a lot of people having issues with the cords tearing.

I couldn't be happier with my Bose! They're incredible for the size that they are, I didn't even know ear buds could have so much bass (not just that though, the sound stage, frequency response and overall balance is awesome). The biggest thing for me was not having in ears, I hate the way they feel and isolate noise - I'd like to have an idea of my surroundings at least a little bit.
Also, geek squad 2 year warranty means they're good against any wear and tear,
which is awesome because earbuds can break quickly.

I'm going to bet a good amount of money that this person did not bother to look at the actual product before asking his question.
And what I noticed about having the Klipsch S4a is that it isn't totally necessary to use their app for full control, it works perfectly fine.
Like the most of new XDA users. Anyway, Klipsch are one of the best ever earbuds.
They would never got those high review scorees if they re not. Goodlucl wtoth them.

The best bang for your buck would be some Panasonic earbuds I got on amazon for 6 bucks.
I use them to workout and they're great for the price.

Uh, because both the Beats eq curve and Beats headphones suck. It's a marketing ploy. Get yourself some Shures, Grados, AKGs, Audio Technicas, or Beyerdynamics and you'll hear what music is supposed to sound like.4Uh, I'm a DJ and I know what good headphones sound like. I'm using a pair of manufacturer refurbished Diddy Beats that I bought thru Monster for $79.99 and they sound effing Amazing. All the other brands Metal mentioned are hella good too. Just my 2 cents, I figured with Beats Audio software why not try out the headphones of the same brand. Again just my humble opinion. To each his own.
sent from my Acer A5004This is a headphone question, doesnt really have anything to do with your phone.
'Klipsch image s4' are probably the highest recommended headphones i've seen.
Basically every audiophile forum recommends them as a best bang for your buck option.
http://www.amazon.ca/Klipsch-IMAGE-S4-Isolating-Earphones/dp/B001V9LPT4
I also recommend disabling beats audio while using them.
You should also try to use flac audio formats or at worst 320kbps mp3's.
flac is compressed but lossless audio, like a digital version of a cd.
if you want to play with flac, you are most likely going to need to buy power amp, for $5.4Here's something off the beaten path for those feeling a little more experimental:
- Using a Bluetooth apt-X headphones/transceiver: bypass the headphone amp (if it's particularly noisy [ref. GSMArena review by supercurio**] and go straight to wireless transmission. The Bluetooth apt-X (as available on the HOX) is touted as having a near CD-quality transmit rate, but not all headphones support it. If you don't want to lock yourself in to a single set of headphones (although Sennheiser's MM series have won accolades from head-fi's editor), you can use a bluetooth headset (such as the Samsung HS3000) which allows you to plug in your own set of headphones.
- Pros: - bypass headphone jack circuitry.
- wireless in most scenarios - Cons: - more of a battery drain
- not lossless
- Pros: - bypass headphone jack circuitry.
- Switch up your music player app : besides Poweramp, there's Player Pro and JetAudio, which claim to have either purer playback or great EQ enhancements (potentially, BBE effects on JetAudio)
- Pros: - cheap, if not free, way to improve playback
- Cons: - may not make much of a difference and can be headphones-specific.
**Edit: Just found out that HOXL, AT&T HOX and HTC One S, all with Qualcomm's S4, uses Qualcomm's own audio chip set WCD9310, which has much better audio performance [1, 2]. So for these phones, you don't have to worry about noise or poor dynamic range.4
These Klipsch are what I use and they are amazing, can't recommend them enough.
