[Q] any good earphones?

---

To be honest the standard HTC headphones are some of the worst I have seen.... So I was wondering if any if u guys have experimented with other earphones? Please suggest me some good quality earphones for regular use which do not need care... I just dump everything in my bag as a result of which I have a collection of broken earphones and stuff.... Any help is appreciated ... Thanks!

Oh and yes.... Preferably those in ear kind of earphones!

How much are you willing to spend on headphones? I recommend checking this thread out, it's how I decided on which headphones I was gonna buy (all the reviews are sorted by price range) http://www.head-fi.org/forum/thread/...pro-added-8-01

any comments on skull candy or Sony? I stuck between these two.... Anything that falls between 10-20 $ ....

Are you talking about the Sony MDR-EX082 / MDR-EX85 he reviewed? I used to have them and I enjoyed them. Great sound isolation, comfort, and sound quality+bass. The only thing I didn't like about them is that the wires linking the earbuds aren't symmetrical (Right earbud's wire is longer than the left one).

In total agreement about the HTC headphones.

I'd love to join you and get a new pair, but I really crave ones with a compatible remote control on them. Y'know, the buttons to allow you to skip track and a mic to answer calls with.

Does anyone know if these are standard in anyway? Anyone had any success stories with a pair working on the Inc S?

Stay away from headphones designed for "iphones" as the fwd and back buttons don't work with the Incr S (or most HTC's). I remember trying a few and maybe the play/stop only worked on a few. Also, I was told that maybe HTC did something differently with some of the more recent phones including the Incr S vs the old Desire, adding to headphone control compatibly issues... I ended up with some Klipsh ProMedia In-Ear http://www.klipsch.com/promedia-in-ear-headset which are essentially the S4 but with a single button and mic. It will stop and start music and handle calls. If you get the "headset button" app you can then set double click, triple click, etc... I've got mine set to fast fwd on double click and rwd on triple click.

Sound-wise, I thought that they sounded the best in that price range. There are lot of good phones at various price points and it all depends on your personal taste (and don't forget comfort...). Best to find a shop that allows you to demo them.

edit: one niggle I have with the Klipsh Promedia is that the button/mic piece sits just around my shirt collar (when I wear a dress shirt) and if I turn my head, sometimes it gets caught and tugs on my right ear phone. They also come with lots of tips to get a right fit. But I use comply foam tips as I always find foam tips the most comfortable and secure for my ears, and I like the sound slightly better with the foam tips (bass seems less boomy).

Sennheiser CX 300 II. not very expensive and decent sound quality, give it a try..

I am using Shure E215 which the sound quality is very impressive.

Anything sennheiser

Ok, do Sony mdr zx 100 work??
