I'm looking for buying new headphone for my Note 8. I don't mind if they are wireless or not, my only desire is to perform the best sound for music. Does anyone has a suggestion? My budget for now is 120 - 150€

Yeah ! Just go for 1more triple drivers
1MORE E1001 Ecouteur intra-auriculaire (couleur or) très haute résolution triple driver (transducteur) - Casque avec microphone intégré et bouton télécommande multifonctions pour iOS et Android https://www.amazon.fr/dp/B01A7G35S0/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_Cpe7AbH3SCY6Z

Or go for the quad drivers if you can afford them but triple is already excellent

I tried noise cancelling phones (sony and bose) and their sound quality is sub-par compared to good ear buds. no doubt they are very good at noise cancelling. I like my Jaybird X2 lot better than Sony MDR-1000X and Bose QC35. Try them first before you purchase.

Jaybird X3s here in Camo. With MemoryFoam tips of the right size are absolutely superb daily drivers. Won't win any audiophile SQ awards, but deliver on all sound fronts for the genres of music I listen to; EDM, HipHop, Rock, New Age. I use the Eq on the Jaybird App in tandem with the Eq in PowerAmp. Good stuff there.

When I really want some bass I plug in my MDR-XB90Ex's with Comply tips.

I got the (wired) Sure se215, took off the earbuds and connected them to a $20 bluetooth 4.1 apt-x cable from aliexpress (with a CSR8645 chip), giving me 8hrs of wireless bliss with enhanced sound!

I have the Bose Soundsport Wireless and the Sony MDR-ZX770BN and love them both. The Bose are great for running, gym work and outdoors while the Sony are great for in office listening as they get rid of the AC background hum which also works great on a flight.

I did have the Jaybird X3 and the design and sound were great but after an hour or so they started hurting my ears whereas the Bose don't put any pressure on your ear canal and lock into your ear with the rubber fin which I find much more comfortable.

If you are really interested in getting a nice audio setup, you will need a nice amp that can power your headphones. Phone DACs are not as good (in comparison) and cannot possibly hope to compare with say a desktop setup (e.g. Sennheiser HD 800S, Woo Audio Amp [brand doesn't necessarily matter], nice balanced cables, a good sound card for your PC). You can easily spend thousands of dollars...

Wired is always better than wireless. You can easily get to the point of diminishing returns with a phone, but I'd say an easy pick for a great earphone is the Sennheiser IE 800S. Obviously you would need a DAC AMP to get more out of the earphones, but I'm sure you either won't be able to tell the sound quality difference, or you can rest easy knowing that your earphones are not the limiting factor in your phone setup.

xdadevelopers is more of a software site. If you are interested in learning more, I would suggest you check out head-fi

I bought those, really good sound quality of you could get them to stay in your ear properly, also not made well as 2 set have had the 3.5mm jack fail on me now. I went with Sennheiser 599's after that and haven't looked back. They are big , and over the ear , but sound quality is awesome.

Do you have a link? I love my Shure Se215 and they released the wireless versions of them, but I don't wanna spend the 100 for the Shure adapter. How is the sound quality, any issues with the bluetooth?
