Default earphone suggestions?

Looking for some decent/quality earphones that has a working end call/pickup buttons and volume rocker for this phone. Does anyone have suggestions?

I listen to almost anything, but mainly R&B and hiphop. Thanks

Meelectronics has good, cheap solutions that actually sound very good.

It would help if you listed a budget, since headphones can go from $2 to thousands of dollars very easily.

I think I would say the absolute highest id pay is like 100. But that's a little steep. I'm aiming for around 30-40 and quality. just seeing what's a good bang for your buck that would certainly be an upgrade to cheapo stock iPhone ones. And The samsung ones the phone came with, the left earbud stopped working a couple days ago. And I haven't even played it that loud.

Thanks for the suggestions

For under $40, I'd go Meelectronics, for sure. In fact, the exact ones I linked you.

I bought my Shure 115's for 55 on Amazon. A little out of your budget of 30-40 though. At that range, I'd definitely look at the sennheisers. I had the CX300's and loved them.

My bad, I totally missed out on the volume control part of your original post... The Shure's I have don't have controls, but I know they have a version that has it. Not sure if it works though.

The Sennheisers do not have controls.

V-Moda is another brand that I think does well with hip-hop music, and I know they have phones that have controls on the wires.

Yup - if you were looking for generic headphone ideas I'd be able to help, but the volume/call control/mic stuff leads to "no clue".

In my opinion, Skullcandy headphones with Comply foam eartips provide great "bang for the buck" but I have no idea whether their call control features work with our phones. My Skullcandy Titans are plain vanilla "listen only" units.
*so much sig updating needed*

An excellent post on "noobs vs. developers"

A few opinions on kernel development "good practices"

Note: I have chosen not to use XDA's "friends" feature - I will reject all incoming "friend" requests.
