Etymotic MC2 mainly.

Was using Beyerdynamic DTX 101 ie's but they seem to have grown too rich in the bottom end now. Also had a set of Jays A-jay one+ but they just fall out of my ears.

@all
badly need a suggestion on buying a headset ,with or without mic no issues but I need amazing bass
I shortlisted two
XIAOMI Piston II http://www.aliexpress.com/item/New-Version-Golden-Color-XIAOMI-Piston-II-Earphone-Headphone-with-Remote-Mic-For-XIAOMI-MI2-MI2S/1523311595.html?cn=null&PID=6146845&tp1=p28b7uva20g5&tracelog=null&src=ale&URL=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.aliexpress.com%2Fitem%2FNew-Version-Golden-Color-XIAOMI-Piston-II-Earphone-Headphone-with-Remote-Mic-For-XIAOMI-MI2-MI2S%2F1523311595.html&cv=11032041&af=cj_6146845&vd=30 around Rs1550 INR

http://www.aliexpress.com/item/In-S...-XIAOMI-MI2-MI2S-MI2A-Mi1S-M1/1334339516.html Black one which cost less than the gold one

E10 sound magic Rs2550 INR

so concluding all is there any diffrence between the black and gold color of Xiomi piston 2 or paying for e10 sound magic will be an ultimate buy

please give some input currently using sound magic es18 and skullcandy inkd2 so what i need is a far better experience from these headset

A quick question: does the button on the ink'd work with nexus?(skipping tracks etc..) I wanted to buy them but cant find if they are actually compatible

EDIT: bought them and yes, the button works

Actually they are pretty nice for a $30 headphones. The sound is surprisingly clear but lacks bass. Fixed it by using viper4android with refined bass, paired with shuttle+ player

I have the 50/50s and the volume control doesn't work on N5..:/
I'm assuming you don't have the volume controls

I love my (grey) Nokia BH-905i ;)

Good noise canceling and BT besides very good sound quality are the main selling points to me. Last not least, inEar hurts on my side after some time so they are no option...

I'm looking for some headphones, more specifically earbuds so I can stuff them in my pocket. If it is like a phone headset with a mic and buttons to take calls, change music and volume, that would be good too. Too bad the Nexus earbuds are no longer on sale on the Google Play Store and no earbuds came with the Nexus 5. I currently have a Senheiser HD418 which is good for music but like I said I want one that I can stuff in my pocket anytime. I do not want in-ear.

For casual everyday use, i have SoundMagic e10 (IEM) and a pair of AudioTechnica ATH-M50 over-ear monitor for "serious" listening, plus Fiio E07K headphone amp (not always needed). My N5 can handle them very well.

When I want small and light headphones, I have some Klipsch S4's. I've been using these things for about 6 years now (every couple of years I lose a pair or the cut gets cut, etc) and they recently improved the cable a bit. It's more rubbery, and it is flat so it winds really well. Which is nice since the device I actually have them plugged into is worn on my shirt collar. Seems like it would be more durable also. I am technically not using the phone for audio as I plug the Klipsch's into a sony MW1. (plays from the phone over bluetooth) Fantastic little device really...especially when I want to put the phone in the gym locker, as it also plays music off its very own micro-sd slot. :)

At work since I am sitting at my desk, I have a pair of Sennheiser 598's since I am literally sitting there all day with headphones on. Cans just sound better and are more comfortable than eabuds. I ordered a few custom cables off amazon, in very short lengths, so when I want to plug them directly into the mw1 there is no cord leftover, and another medium length one that works for when the phone is in my pocket or when it is sitting on my wireless charger.

I really want android to support usb audio though, as I have a pair of Beyerdynamic dt770s but they are 250ohm, and kinda need an amp to really drive them. Cyanogen supports usb audio, but I don't like cyanogen anymore...

Just really wishing The powers that be put usb audio in a future update!
