Which are the best earphones with built-in microphone for the blackstone?? Those who come with the Blackstone aren't that good...
sorry wrong forum please move this into accessories
Done.
I recommend the Moto s9s (bluetooth); worth every penny i paid for them.
Yes, Motorola SD9-HD has my vote. Comfort, sound volume are first rate. Battery life and Bluetooth range are also excellent. I was amazed at how close the sound comes to my $500 Shure SE530's (well, almost, since the Shure's are in a league of their own!). The bass response was a wonderful surprise. I was also very surprised by how nice Window Media Player on the Touch HD sounded and how well A2DP works between the two. A+ rating from me!
thanks for the answers but I was referring to regular wired-earphones...any suggestions about them?

I think the best solution is to go to your local electronics store and buy a headset adapter w/built-in mic for the iphone, they work on the HD and allow you to answer calls. You can plug in any headphones that you like and use them in your laptop or music player as well.

Those sure look nice!
I'm no sound guru but do know that even tho the frequency range is wider than the skullcandy, that will only be noticeable with certain types of music. And the impedance will definitely play a part as well. Not sure whether the difference in the size of the speaker itself will be all that noticeable on such minute vessels but it might. If you really want to know you could post on an audio forum I suppose. I suspect the largest difference noticeable would be the in-\out ear types and everything else would be minor in comparison.

so those are the best actually on the market...I suppose?
ultimate ears triple.fi 10vi...superb for music listening and very good when used as a wired headset w/mic for phone conversations. only downside: expensive!

I couldnt say they are the best as I haven't tried everything out there, but I have given some pointers on what to look for and what's important in most cases.
Subjectively speaking, the SkullCandy iPhone issue is supreme, but I'm sure there are more expensive ones out there

This is confirmed? Any iphone mic 3.5 to 3.5 adapter will work as a mic for HD too and with any headphone set? A reseller told me not to buy it since it was not compatible...

I can confirm that Shure MPA-3C adapter works great with my audio technica earphones on my Blackstone coz I'm currently using it.
Ok for the Shure but will work any similar (and more economic) device?

Will this adaptor work for voice dial? I use Microsoft voice control so need voice dial. I tried a pair of Ultimate Ears with mike for the iPhone but you could not use voice dial...
I am looking at standard headphones if I can get an adaptor with mike that works. I have got it down to 4 in the price range I can afford.
Ultimate Ears Metro Fi 2
Ultimate Ears Metro Fi 150
Shure Se 102
Shure Se 110
Any comments on these please........
Hi kjt57,
I'm in the same boat... does your MSVC work with the standard HTC headset? I had to tweak the registry to make it work. Now it needs a long press on the HTC headsetbutton to kick in. I thought that it should work with every 3,5mm headset. Can you please crosscheck with the original HTC?
I'd like to use the Ultimate Ears Metro.fi 200v or the Shure SE210 with MPA-3C adapter, but MSVC is a must. I couldn't find a local dealer who has this earphones for testing.
Cheers

EU fi4 for mobile is not bad~~ if you looking for a wired earphone with mic and answer button
Has anyone tried the Motorola EH20 Stereo Headphones (or any of the EH in-ear microphone type headsets)?
I have the S9s and want something for when I'm wearing my bike helmet.
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?

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.

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.
Has anyone compared the V-Moda Crossfade LPs to the M80s??
I bought the Crossfades & I'm not overly impressed with the sound running off a Fiio amp.
I just read a review of both that gave the LPs a 6.5/10 rating for sound but gave the M80s a 9.5/10.
Anyone here agree/disagree with this??
By the way, if anybody wants to buy the brand new Crossfades I will sell them for $75 or BO. email me [email protected]
I can't really speak to the quality of the headphones, as I have Sennheiser cans for home and work. But I am curious about the FIIO amp. Which model are you using? I would like something new that I can throw in my work bag to use with my work MBP or when I'm sitting at my office.
I have a pair of Crossfades and they are great. Maybe you got a pair with bad drivers?

No, they work fine, but I totally agree with the review I read. I'm just too picky about sound I guess.
My son thinks they sound awesome but don't have enough bass (he likes my beats studio cans).

I have both the E6 and the E11.
Both are awesome, the E6 is tiny (about the size/weight) of a matchbook and it kicks ass. The best part is it was only $20.

I really think it's just Vmoda. I have the LPs also and run them through a Steinberg AI when I record, but they're still not that great. I like them enough for most music, but I'll probably be getting some Senns in the near future.
But now you have me wondering about the amp. I might have to get the amp with the Senns when I get them. Which one would you recommend for staying at home? Portability isn't an issue for me, so would the E11 be better?

I would definitely get the E11 for home use, it has more features and more power.
YEs...I have both LP's and M-80. I think you will love the M-80's. There is a major difference in their sound curve...V-MODA will always emphasize some bass, but the M-80's are much much brighter, less bass heavy, and overall a fantastic "true" sound.
They are my new favorite cans. They still have the super-durable spring steel construction, quality materials throughout, customizable plates, solid carrying case and kevlar cord of the LP...all things that put them way ahead of the Beeet$$. Now with a really quality sound to match. Seriously, listening to a pair is the only way to know....
RadioShack carries them in their best-selling locations, and they will let you have a listen. Yeah..that RadioShack.
Guys,
What are the new supplied headphones like in quality for sound and overall design?
Also Just found this site selling the "official headphones" £29.99 is anyone looking for spare.

Personally, i found them to fit brilliantly, very comfortable, and to me ( i am not a audiophile sorry to say) sound really good, thank you for the link.
Likewise i thought they were a good fit, plus the sound from them sounded (to me) really good with lots of bass that you tend not to get with other stock headphones in ear that i have tried, but im no audiophile either.
As an audiophile I found them to be quite decent for stock headphones. The sound quality is definitely good. I haven't yet had the time to change the ear tips to fit my ears and test if they fall off easy or anything. That being said, I might stick to Bose earphones.
After reading that they are expensive, I was hoping for a way better experience. I like the EarPods/Airpods from Apple way more.
They have way more bass than my B&O headphones I got with the V20. I like'em
AKG Earbuds

That makes me very happy to hear. The main reason I didn't purchase the V2O when it came out was I'd missed out on the pre-order and wouldn't be getting the B&O earbuds. I'm very happy with the AKG set that came with the phone, and really looking forward the the BT AKG headphones I just ordered this morning. That and the memory card I'm looking forward to, along with VR headset / controller.

I felt the sound quality was crystal clear. Treble and vocals are crisp but bass was on disappointing side. It isn't as punchier as the one's we get with HTC One series. Maybe I need to tweak equalizer more to get that heavier bass but default settings didn't sound deep enough. Again, I maybe wrong.
I'm pretty sure this is one more of those cases where you get a practically different product for different markets, but the ones I got in Serbia are pretty crappy :/ I'm no audiophile, but compared to my cheap Xiaomi Piston 3, these are so tinny, low-volume and just plain bad I was actually thrilled when I saw them, tried them right away, but just put them back in the box after 2 minutes...
They're not bad. Pretty clear high end and decent mids but somewhat underwhelming low-end. Still better than the buds that came with my S6E and Galaxy Tab 4 7.0.

I agree. The clarity is great. They def lack bass though. Not bad for free tho. And I appreciate the fabric overlay on the cord

I learned a while ago not to trust loose Samsung headsets.
I've bought replacements for 2 different Samsung "included" headsets, and in both cases the originally included headset sounded great while the replacements sounded cheap.
Their sound profile is slightly U shaped with emphasize on the bass & highs. Not really neutral or truly high end but by far the best stock earphones that I've ever heard.
I'm a musician and I own Sennheiser HD650, HD600, Shure SE425, Etymotic ER4P & AKG K702 with several dedicated headphone amps, so I know what I'm talking about...
I persoanlly think these headphones are the best of any inbox headphones I've ever used and I've used a lot.
Dont forget to use the equaliser aswell it can enhance the sounds for more clarity base and so on.
To be honest, they sound good but are poor in quality. They're cheap plastic and the right one on my pair has driver flex like crazy.
These AKG headphones are ip68/waterproof or not ?
I thought the stunk when I first tried them. I use PowerAmp and found that I had to go in and adjust the equalizer for both headphones and BT.
Very Happy Now!
I deleted Google Play Music before realizing that it was the default music player for the S8 series. I would assume it needs the same tweaks as Power Amp.
Do all the US variants S8's come with the AKG's in box?

Yep all do
I don't think the supplied akg earphone sounds good for the music. I used another $20 (symphonized brand) earphones and they sound really nice (extra bass) the akg that came with the phone is not as good.
Any thoughts guys?

They're not great, I use Xiaomi earbuds that are significantly better. They are, however, much better than the apple pack-in earbuds.
"Extra base" is probably not very accurate sound. If you prefer it that way, that's fine, but the AKG headphones are tuned for more balanced sound. They're not great headphones, but they are decent if you want to hear music as it was recorded, rather than with artificial base.

They sounded good until I switched to Sennheiser's.
My thoughts too. I actually think they sound bad. I think the buds that came with my S7 edge sound better.

Better is subjective. Accurate isn't.
I gave them to my son as soon as I open the box. In his opinion, they better than what comes with the iPhone. Not amazing, bit will do.
Initially I was too disappointed. Then my Sony earbuds died so I've played around and now I'm more than happy with the sound.
1) https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s9/how-to/howto-tune-headphine-sound-t3764747
2) Change the silicon pads.
Bass was still flat. I've noticed that in certain position in the ear bass was way better. Tried different silicon pads supplied. None worked properly. Then I've tried the one from my dead Sony. Boom.
I guess there's difference in Japanese and Korean ear holes
It looks a bit retarded thou - white silicon pads on black earbuds. But I think Sony sells them even in black.
