So here's my problem:
I want to actively listen to music with my PDA. Here are the three main choices:
1) Just use the standart handsfree
2) Use a 2.5mm -> 3.5mm adapter
3) 3rd party handsfree/headset
I don't want to go with 1) because the earplugs don't fit well in my ears and the sound quality is not very high (especially the low frequencies).
2) seems like a nice option but neither of my 2 adapters I bought works - there jacks simply don't fit well in the hole and the sound keeps interrupting.
I looked for 3rd party handsfree/headsets and I found 2 the better of which seemed to be the BoxWave Dual Handsfree Stereo Headset. It seems nice. Has anyone tried it? Is it good, is the sound quality decent? Do the earplugs fit well?
Thanks!
Hi,
any audiophile Guru out there to suggest for a great headset - best audio quality possible - allowing for FM radio and music control to keep the touch HD in the case?
I am asking this since i realized that my JABRA BT620s does work reasonably well, WITHOUT wires being A2DP, but the price to pay in quality and radio is simply too big....

Well, if you are after sound quarlity, hehe, go for Ultimate Ear 10 pro.
some shure or sennheiser headphones.. they are the best. I have one of both.. different type of headphones..
shure is in-ear, and sennheiser are typical headset.
cheers.
I just bought the Jabra BT530, read great reviews of it.
But overall, they say if u want the BEST Audio Quality, then u should buy this :
Aliph Jawbone 2
try googling for a review on that, and u will get an endless list of them!
hope this helps!
Hi to all,
after some web googling, i decided to make a good but reasonable step and purchased the Shure Se110 (black like The Stone).
Not only the quality is stellar with respect to the standard headset, but it is pretty easy to wear and in particular the FM radio works very well!
The sound is pretty loud and incredibly balanced. they don't crackle even with the highest dynamic ranges...
It has only one defect, in some respect: you don't hear anything anymore, so make a good life insurance when you walk your dog...
When at home I use my Technics RP-F290 and while mobile I use my Sennheiser CX300.
I use these [BOSE] - found them to be excellent
http://www.bose.co.uk/GB/en/home-en...o-headphones/bose-on-ear-headphones/index.jsp
I see there is now a version designed for use with mobile phones - has a mike and some controls built into the lead
These will blow your head off
If you are an audiophile and want the best sound and build quality in the world regardless of the price :
WESTONE 3
Shure SE530
Ultimate Ears Triple.fi 10
DENON AH-D5000
AKG K 701
Grado RS-2
Sennheiser HD 650
Denon AH-D2000
Ultrasone HFI-2200
Monster Beats by Dr. Dre
Sennheiser IE 6
Bose® Mobile On-Ear Headset
Bang & Olufsen Earset 2
I VOTE FOR WESTONE 3
I've got Shure E2c for my "in move" devices. They sound quite good and didn't cost a fortune

I'm looking for a quality in-ear headset in the pricerange(with the same audio quality of course) of the Sennheiser IE6, but with a small microphone in it, like the original HTC-headset.
Is something like that in the market that is compatible with the HD? (so just for the 3.5mm output, no bluetooth)

google for:
WESTONE 3
Shure SE530
Ultimate Ears Triple.fi 10
Sennheiser CX 380 Sport II
Sennheiser IE 6
Thanks for the reply's!
@lipa47: The Shure's look great! Does anyone know how the SE210MPA sounds compared to the Sennheiser IE6? And how is the cable quality in therms of durability? I see that the Sennheiser uses kevlar cable's.
@Nobelove: Sorry but i don't see any microphone's in those models?
Hey, how are you?
My advice to you would be to think about the HTC RC W100 wired remote control. You simply plug it into your device and its 3.5mm stereo socket means you can plug in any headphones you like. The sound quality from the mike is superb. It allows to control the volume, Forward/rewind, answer/end calls etc...
With regard to headphones, I use x3 types. I have a set of the latest Bang & Olufsen ear set phones which clip over your ear and are comfortable. I use them while cycling/jogging in London – I can answer the phone while on the move + can still hear ambient traffic noise even when listening to music/radio on a reasonable volume...
For flying I use the very excellent noise cancelling Sennheiser pxc350's - I thought the 450's were a little too flashy and not worth the extra cash for the button to talk to the air hostess...
I also have a set of the much smaller noise cancelling Sennheiser pxc250's which are very good - the noise cancelling works fine but not nearly as good as the 350's.
I have done a lot of research into this subject and would say spend money on your headphones. Also, no matter how clean you keep your ears, putting the in-ear phones in place after using them the previous day is not always the most pleasant experience.
I hope this helps.
Rgs,
J

here you go
Sennheiser MM 50 iP
and for the rest you can use this adapter or use HTC RC W100 as justin advised.
and to answer your Q. Sennheiser IE6 is much better in sound quality
Thanks for the great reply's! I love this forum
In the last few hours I've read a lot of mini-reviews on the Shure's; half of them were negative in therms of durability and sound-quality(compared to other high-end in-ears). So the Shure's are off my list.
The HTC RC E100+Sennheiser IE6 looks like a great combi if the cable wasn't that long. The cable of the IE6 is 1.2 meter... So I think that I'll order the IE6 without the microphone, too bad that there isn't a good high end solution for this subject from Sennheiser... The Sennheiser MM50 are too low-end for me.
btw. The HTC RC W100 has been replaced by the RC E100. From what I can see is the only difference that the E100 got an headphone included.
Edit: I've just found the Etymotic Research HF2: http://www.etymotic.com/ephp/hf2.aspx
Does anyone have experience with this brand? It's completely new to me, but it looks like an great option.
If you are an audiophile and a first classer who cannot accept or go for any less than spectacular audio and Brilliant sound stage then stick with this list
WESTONE 3
Shure SE530
WESTONE 2
Ultimate Ears Triple.fi 10

I can say that I went through Sennheiser: mx400, cx300, px200, px100, and I finally sticked with Shure E2c. I use Sennheiser HD580 in home and I can say that in terms of durability and quality (cable etc.) those E2c are pretty good. Well maybe newer models are not that good By the way output in HD is not that good, there is lot of hiss.
Have any one tried the Sleek Audio SA6 In-Ear Earphones ???
How do they compare to WESTONE 3 and Shure SE530 ???
I do own the Plantronics Voyager 856, excelent bass!
You can use the BT headset mono or stereo by clipping of one earpiece.
I just ordered the Sennheiser (CX500) earphones, should they fit in the 3.5mm jack of the Touch HD?
And to anyone who bought custom earphones, did you notice an improvement in audio quality over the bundled ones?

I have headphones from Sennheiser (MX60) and I have to say that the sound is excellent.

what about a hang up and play/pause/fwd buttons anything like that on it.. or is it just for music only and not talking?
I believe its just has a volume control on the headphone wire.
i have a Set at home Sennheiser cant remember the model but i dont like it.. i i want something with play/pause/fwd/mute buttons and get good bass and treble from it.. dont know which to get
I wanted a set of ultimate ears but I don't believe they make any models that have the mute or capability to answer the phone, like the HTC and some other models designed for phones....anybody have any good suggestions?
I would want some bass out of any pair I own...
jus orderd my Sennheiser CX500 headphones hope theyr better then ipod headphones that would be awsome!!!
I'm using Sennheiser HD595 with my HD and they work perfectly, so I wouldn't worry about CX500.

I have a set of PXC 300.. They have not got the volume stuff etc.. but are sexy as hell !.. and sound evan better ..... !!..

The headphones from my girlfriends' Nokia N76 don't fit. Although they're 3.5mm, they're too shallow to fit in the jack.
I don't like In-Ear anymore, so I use the Sennheiser HD 25-II. They are simply amazing!!! I can recommend them to anyone!
I have some Sennheiser CX400 MkII's and they're fricking awesome with the HD. You'll need to make yourself a custom setting in Audioboost, but play around and you'll find your sound.
Can someone recommend some headsets with earbuds (the ones that go into the ear) that are loud and have great sound quality? HTC RC E190 STEREO HEADSET is compatible with HTC Hero GSM? Sadly I can't find a review about sound quality for that. Can someone point me in the right direction? I need something with mini-usb or 3.5mm jack connection.
Did your ATT Titan come with a wired headset?
All my previous phones came with one.
Samsung Focus headset 3.5mm plug doesn't seem to seat fully into 3.5mm jack.
Am I missing something?
The AT&T Titan does not come with a wired headset.
AT&T has been pretty cheap lately.

I missed it too. My Focus plug is probably seating fully, just doesn't appear to because of the way the notch is cut out. The Focus headset is working fine for me. My biggest beef is that the volume doesn't go down LOW enough. I'm all for a louder speaker, but whether using the speaker or the headphones, 1/30 is still too loud for me at times!!!
Seriously? ATT left out the headset to save money? The headset I received with my EU version looks and feels really cheap and could not have cost more than $5-10..

Then, why do you still want it? I'd rather buy a high quality one that I like.
