I got my skullcandy inked for about $15 and there were pretty good, well for its price lol.
I have the Skull Candy Titan ear buds and I'm very pleased with them! They are $40 at Best Buy. I also have the $20 Skull Candy which are ok, but the Titan series is MUCH better and I highly recommend them for the budget your trying to stay in

Now quick question are theses head phones any good for example ( hip-hop, rock, pop) music mostly bass music. I like using power amp as my music payer but still want decent headphones.

meelec is a good brand. i have the m6 but i gave it away as a gift. that person says it's pretty good. i have their m11 and the sound is nice.
I like Skull Candy Inked as well. With PowerAMP EQ set up like iTunes Electronic set up and Bass and Treble sliders up it sounds great! They're only 15 buck and as long as you ahve the reciept you have unlimited warranty and they send you new ones if they're broken.

I was going to recomment the M6's as well. You can often find them under $15 at places like newegg.com.
They're well reviewed by audiophiles at head-fi.org for their value against price. For my ears, they sound much better than the skullcandy's under $40.
Thanks guys lol feel like I'm making a live decision. I will let you guys know what I got and if was pleased

I swear by the Sennheiser CX line. I have the CX-300s, here is the newer version of those:
http://www.amazon.com/Sennheiser-MK-II-Earbuds-Carrying/dp/B001EZYMF4/
Best sounding headphones I've ever had were "woodys" I believe they were colby and they sounded magnificent got them for 5 bucks at big lots
Shot from my shooter in 3D
injected with cleanrom2.7
the 50/50's are just over 40 bucks but i think they are worth it. the sound is wonderful from the bass to the trebble. ive used just about every skull candy bud around and i def reccommend those. id say they are a close second to the titans just because the bass is amazing on those.
MDR-XB41EX
I have the 40EXs and they sound fantastic. These are just the newer model, so I'm assuming they have the same sound characteristics. Frequency response (4Hz - 24,000Hz), sensitivity (105dB/mW, you will hear things you've never heard in a song), and isolation are great with these headphones. For 50 bucks, they're not the best headphones out there, but they're the best bang for the buck. The bass can be a bit overwhelming if you do not listen to bass-oriented music, but a tweak of the equalizer will fix it.

That's quite an old model, I paid like $50 for mine more than five years ago... They're not bad, and can obviously be found cheaper now, but the MEElectronics M9P (mic version) I bought for $20 not too long ago are far better (way more balanced sound), they're also far better than most overpriced Skullcandies if you ask me. MEElec has some amazingly good bang for your buck models under $50 tbh, some stuff that actually compete well with some $50 models from Senn, Nuforce, Ety, etc. Most
I was actually surprised to see MEElec headphones at CompUSA the other day, and I'm mildly surprised BB sells them online. Most audio gear sold by big electronics stores like BB is usually vastly overpriced, specially at their brick and mortar stores.
Skullcandy started as a budget brand, and still is mostly, but they've never been great for the price regardless. Stuff like Bose and Beats are just a rip off. JVC and Koss are two of the very few brands they have a foothold in general electronics stores like that and aren't usually ripping you off. The JVC HAF34 are solid if you need to buy locally btw.
That's my two cents... Do some research at a forum like HeadFi, they can be snobbish at times but if you know how much you're willing to spend you're always gonna be better off after looking at some of the recommendations there.
Anyone ever tried the Skull Candy Fix earbuds? I had never even seen them before today. A vendor at the Georgia vs Florida game had them for sale in a few different colors. They are suppose to stay in your ear better than any other earbuds due to their design. I don't have any issues with the Skull Candy Titan earbuds staying in, but I've never jogged or exercised while using them either (which the Fix line claims to be able to do). These also have call function with them too, which the Titan line doesn't have, and something that I'm now wanting a pair of earbuds to be capable of. Please let me know if any one has any feedback on these.

What is a good earbud headset that doesn't cost a fortune, meaning less than $25 or so. Wired is what i'm looking for as i'm not big on BT headsets. I don't need anything ultra high quality, just something that works well. I'd also like for it to have a inline mic. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I've looked at so many my head spins. It's hard to tell what's good or not and you can't always go by price. Figured someone would have a set that they really liked over the others.
I just get the stock ones that came with my captivate, they sound good and are durable, don't hurt your ears.
Amazon has them for about six bucks. Just search for captivate or infuse earbuds they are black with opaque white buds and inline mic.

The OP said he needs them under $25. So for the price, Skullcandies are excellent.
They meet his needs. other than the JVC Marshmallows, they are the best sounding pair for the PRICE RANGE in my opinion.
On another note, I was interested in the S4As. I read a review
on amazon for them that the controls don't work with the Sprint galaxy S II and I was afraid that the same would be true for the AT&T variant. Do you own them? can you deny or comfirm?
I have the S4i's as I came from an iPhone to the galaxy. the mic and controls don't work with the phone (aside from the pause and play button.) wanted to get the 4A's but being that there's now a 5i and that I wanna try wireless I personally am looking for a stereo bluetooth option.

This is the quandry i've run into. There's literally hundreds of choices and some are known to be bad and some aren't. I'm just trying to find a good set for a good price that WORK, haha.
I had my old Cappy earbuds that I liked but alas my oldest son has lost them somewhere. They didn't work with everything on the cappy so i'm fairly sure they won't work on the GSII either.

How well do they fit in your ears? I've tried several Ipod flat style ear buds and none of them seem to fit in my ears very well. They will stay in but nothing like the cushiony inserts of the samsung ones.

I use these all day long at work. The control button works as expected with the players I've used (music app, Pandora, Beyondpod, Audible).
I use my phones for music more than anything. For the past couple years I've used a countless number of earbuds. (Gym, bike, motorcycle, work, bus)
Klipsch S4s are the best bang for the buck by far. I bought mine at Best Buy and opted for the 2 year warranty. Taking the phone in and out of my pocket a lot tends to wear the cord at the connector. Their worth the investment.

If you're going cheapo I'd try JVC HAFX67B. Decent sound and super comfortable. Even more comfortable than the S4s in my opinion.

...and if your looking for heaphone look no further than the Audio-Technica ATH-M50s. Google em'. They totally live up to the hype.

Agreed. I would let them take the bundled micro sd also if it would net me any kind of upgrade to the physical phone (better mic, better speakers, etc).
Only advantage to having the headphones for me was selling them for my first phone and selling them when I got my second phone from insurance due to a cracked screen. It helped me justify the cost. first pair sold for 80, and second pair sold for 60 due to market saturation.
Yes, gorilla glass would be nice to have for sure, however I take anything that is a bonus.
For those eligible, the Rezound it is a steal now, I upgraded my wife's DX last Friday w/a Rezound and mine DX today with another Rezound. I was considering the Razr Maxx and Galaxy as well, but could not pass up this deal!
Her's was $50 and mine was $20 so between the 2 headsets plus 2 bundled 16gb cards the phones were basically free!
Looks like no more of this in the future, but as well mentioned, hopefully they will substitute these "accessories" for more quality materials on the phone.

I haven't actually played with a One X, but from reviews and comparisons to other HTC phones, it seems that quality has gotten better. In my opinion, design has been raised a few bars also.

If it wasn't for the severe ear fatigue I get from listening to them for more than an hour or so at a time, I would use them more often. They really do sound great.

the Rez shouldnt have been $300 for a 2 year contract.

The 49 dollar Lumia 900 is making 300 dollar Android phones look really bad. And I threw my Beats away. Literally. In the garbage. I don't want to pay for that crap, and if I wanted them I'd buy them on my own. Give me a cheaper phone, not headphones I probably don't want.
I use mine all the time, but only because the came with the phone and I don't want to spend $50+ on another pair. They're not the best for me since I listen to a lot of heavy metal and the heavy bass gets annoying. HTC must feel like a smacked ass since they spent $300 million for what's essentially and equalizer.
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using Tapatalk
While I'm glad I sold mine as soon as I could and made some of the money back for how much the phone was overpriced to start with, I have a feeling the price for the top of the line phones won't be coming down. With my discount I paid $265 for the rezound on release day. Got $70 out of the beats so that put the phone about where it should have been to start with. I really don't agree with using gimmicks to mark up the price on the phone. If I want overpriced earbuds, I'll go buy the ones I want.
I do use my iBeats everyday too, but mostly just because they came with the phone.. I actually don't like the way they sound at all, to be quite honest, but they ARE extremely well built, and so I use them when I'm riding my bike or some other activities like rock climbing where I want something relatively durable, but when audio quality isn't the primary concern. It is nice to have them. I certainly don't want to be riding my bike with headphones that I actually paid $150 of my own money for.. so some high quality headphones for free was a plus.
However, I still would rather have Gorilla Glass instead of the iBeats. Its the one area of the phone where they cheaped out and its pretty easy to accidentally scratch.

****... I would have taken them from you if you were just going to throw them out. Hell, you could have made at least 50-60 bucks off them just selling them on ebay.
I never realized how much of a better quality they were until they got stolen. Now I'm back to my ****ty skull candy earbuds and there was a significant difference in quality. I especially liked all the bass since I use them for working out. The only issue I really had was the buttons on the headphones. I accidentally hit them when I was working out which would cause the phone to pause.
Does anyone have any other recommendations for any decent headphones for around 60 dollars? I'd get the beats again, but seeing as most people say the price isn't justifiable to the quality; I'd by something better for the same price.
Or if anyone feels like making a donation, I'd appreciate it very much.

LOL, if you like Klipsch buds you definitely won't like the beats.
Those two sets are like complete opposites(I own both the ibeats and the beats tour and the Klipsch x-10 and the Klipsch s4).
The beats have too much bass and the Klipsch have too much high end.

yeah that is a good price for this phone. it retails at $600 i believe. Will you be getting the beats head phones with it too?
Depends on the quality of the Rezound and if it is rooted or not. It seems fair. I would value a good condition Rezound around $300. If it has all the original components, box, manual and is in perfect condition I would say more around $350.

Some of the online sites are buying for $180, and that's without headphones. Selling the phone outright is $250 ish and up. If the headphones are included, they sell around me for $50 and up to $75 by themselves. Having a Rezound, I don't know what the big bruhah is about the phone. You can only hear the enhancements of the music if you use their music player. So you can't get the benefit of the music enhancements if you're listening to Slacker or any other streaming music.
All in all, the object is worth what you're willing to pay for it. To you, that might mean $285. For me, $150 is too much, even if it came with the Dallas Cowboys cheerleader squad. Then again, I got mine for free because of my Droid Charge issues, but I was hoping for a Nexus. Nice phone, but after having mine for a couple of weeks, I HATE THE INTERFACE. Though I didn't get headphones, I can hear the difference of the music quality while using my own ear buds and using their media player, but honestly, I don't see enough of a difference in any of the classical, rock, Swedish metal, or 80 music I listen to so as to say that is phone would have been a fantastic purchase. Who knows, maybe the Beats headphones really do make the difference.

but the cost of the headphones on VZW invoice says they were $25 and have a 1 year warranty. so people paying that much for them is insane.
Got mine for 298 with 3 extended batteries, battery charger and case
I'd also compare other phones of roughly the same caliber/release time, such as the Galaxy Nexus or the RAZR. If you like what you see and hear about these over the Rezound and can get them for a slight variance in the price, then you could pass. The Beats headphones are nice, but nothing noticeable over a nice $40 pair of Skullcandy headphones I had awhile back. I picked the Rezound because I like Sense, and it seemed like the evolution of my previous phone, the Incredible. For $250, I'd go for it.

I've got the Jaybird bluebuds and they are great. I replaced the tips for some foamy ones and they fit great.
The sound is awesome and I've never had a problem with the battery.
I recommend them

They Jaybird Freedom Sprint has Apt-X. I use this one. It has very crappy battery life at 4.5 hours. But then again it is targeted only for working out and so is more than sufficient for a workout session hell even two days off Strictly workout sessions.
I know a LG representative that has the tones and all bias aside he loves them he's a boxer. When he trains he says they do not move even when he sweats. And they also have phenomenal battery life, but for me I would just use the J birds if I was strictly doing workouts.
If you are looking for something that is to replace your headphones and you want to go wireless all around, then I would recommend the Bluedio R+ bluetooth headphones. They are apt X bluetooth 4 NFC and has a slot for microSD card so if your phone is dead and use a micro SD card for your music you can just pop it in the headphones and be good to go! All of this for under $100. Its roughly under a hundred if you order from China or you can get them on Amazon and ebay for about $120 to $140.
I ordered mine from http://m.aliexpress.com/item/1174967490.html
Mine are on the way so I have not tested it personally but if you read all reviews about them everyone has something good to say about it. They are apparently the best in their class for the money if you like to listen to music with alot of bass.

One thing I forgot to mention about the J bird freedom sprint is that it is the second version the one right before the blue but X. The new ones are horrible in terms of sitting in your ears that is the number one thing you read about them. This sounds post to be excellent and so the battery life at about eight and a half hours but what is the point if they can't even fit in your ears comfortably while you're working out.
However the freedom Sprint version which is roughly 80 dollars, is the most comfortable earphones that I have tried. Even the call mic quality is good. They do not fall out if you use the honeycomb shape inserts, which taper off at the end in the same shape as that little groove in your ear right above the ear hole...and it just clicks right in

Those are Bluetooth 3.0, didn't they say they want 4?

I have the Motorola S11 Flex HD and they support Apt-x. I think they are BT 3.0 though.

The Anker And Meelectronics looking tempting. But the both have lots of reviews that mention poor BT connectivity. That makes me a bit nervous.

Not used any BT 4.0 headphones/receivers yet, but been very happy with the Samsung HS3000 for more than a year now. BT 3.0 but with Apt-X, love the versatility of being able to use different headphones with it - IEM for exercise/when portability is of paramount importance, full-sized cans when wanted, or even connecting to stereos etc via 3.5mm-3.5mm cable. Can be had really pretty cheap now too, around the $30USD mark.

The problem with the Jaybirds is that they care about sound quality, so the openings where the sound comes out are really large for a pair of ear buds. This in turn makes it hard to find comfortable tips that fit in your ears.
The tips that come with the buds are all too large to sit comfortably and they all feel like they are going to fall out (though they never actually have)
I recently went to target and found some foam tips in the bargain bin. I forced them over the tips of the bluebuds and it solved all the problems. They fit great and I never feel like it is going to fall out.

wow, those anker's looks really nice. great battery life, a good design, and a company I trust because I've used their products with no issues.
might jump on these, just picked up some LG Tones+ from my work for super super cheap tho...
I just picked up a pair of the LG tone + from Best Buy price matched to Amazon and I wouldn't be happier they are bt 3.0 I believe and have apt-x

They can be pricey, but the battery lasts up to 8 hours, comes with a lifetime warranty, and they are really quality built.
Even the packaging is impressive. Sweat proof.
I'm telling you, I'd buy them again, and I'm a cheapskate.
you guys are right about the LG Tones+. They are awesome! I forget I'm even wearing them half the time because they're so lightweight. Also, they sound amazing, I don't need BT 4.0 for them to work great, they have AMAZING battery life (rated for 10, not 8 hours for music) and I used them all day at work 2 days in a row, while still having the battery on 'medium'. That was 2 10 hour shifts too.
I didn't think I'd like the design, because I thought it looked clunky, but like I said I barely can tell I'm wearing them. Maybe once my Fiance sees them she'll think otherwise on the styling, which is when I'll probably pick up the ankers, but for now, these work wonderfully and impressed me.
The only gripe I have (and this isn't specific to this headset, it pertains to all BT headsets) is I can only pair with two deices at once, unless I'm mistaken? I want to use this with my new MBP, my iPad and my Note III. My PS3 would be an added bonus, anyone know how to accomplish this or if I'm just being a newb and doing it wrong?
My Jaybird Bluebuds X work great as well. You can buy the tips from the site below.
http://www.complyfoam.com/
FYI for those interested in the BackBeat Go 2 Tiger Direct has them for $69.99 (instant $10 off) and a $20 mail in rebate for a final price of $49.99.
I know mail-in rebates kinda suck. But it a good deal at $49.99

Those are the exact same tips I got. But for like 3 dollars at Target.
I was wondering how you gym rats/joggers carry your G3 during workouts. I was looking into armbands on Amazon but looking through the available brands.
It seems they're all made of poor quality and the companies have awful-mediocre feedback on other products.
Do any of you guys have something to recommend? I just want something where the device is safe, won't bother me as I lift/run, and won't let sweat get through to the phone.
Cheers.

I've had the Note 2 for about 2 years now. Not exactly the easiest phone to carry while jogging or during deadlifts at the gym. When I had my S3, i had an armband, but even that was a little too big. I would use the headphones that came with the Note 2 through the shirt like most people i see doing at the gym and it really wasn't working. So I bought bluetooth headphones.
After looking around and passing on some other headsets, I bought the LG TONES HBS-730
http://www.amazon.com/LG-Electronics-HBS-730-Bluetooth-Headset/dp/B009A5204K
I just set my phone down or keep it in my pocket while at the gym. It's just a lot easier to not have to worry about wires anymore. It's still a pain to have to carry it while jogging, but much easier than before. The headphones tend to bounce on my neck a bit, but don't come out of my ears at any point. I even use them on my motorcycle and they work great. I've answered calls from my gf while riding and she didn't even know i was using the Tones.
I highly recommend them.
I leave my phone in my gym bag and use a Sony mw-600 with different ear buds.
I'm not a fan of arm bands, and I don't expect the G3 to be particularly comfortable especially given its size. For lifting I much prefer using bluetooth headphones so the phone and any cables are out of the way.
Edit: By the way I recently got the Jabra Revo Wireless. Quoted at 12 hours of listening/talk time, which is amazing. And the nice thing is it includes a cable so if you run out of juice you can just plug it in and listen like a normal pair of headphones. Good for lifting, but I don't think they would stay put for running.
plantronics backbeat go 2 are awesome, And they will last you a whole 4 hours at 80% volume.

I ordered that one and it is arriving today. The company's other products seem to have solid reviews.
I considered BT headphones but I never see any with really solid reviews. I have UE TripleFi 10i that I ordered new rubber inserts for and am going to see how I like them with the band, generally I love the sound from them but my foam inserts get shot fast with running.

Will do, and thus my problem with them Jaybird is usually solid but people I know who own BT headphones, especially buds, say the sound quality loss isn't worth the price to get rid of a short cable

No argument there. So far I only use these for lifting. I had a set of Meelectronics Airfi AF71s (bluetooth earphones) that actually sounded really good, but they used non-standard ear tips (i.e. comply foam tips are a no-go) and they didn't fit very well so for runs I just stick with cabled earphones.

Never heard of those. I guess for just lifting cans would be okay, I still use my UE's.
One of my favorite tech reviewers.
12:20 he begins giving his review after using them in the gym.
They look nice imo, might order in a few weeks but I'd prefer earbuds for now. Can't really picture myself running with headphones on. I'd be worried that they may come off and fall lol

So my armband came in today and I wore it around town with my RAZR MAXX and might ear it to the gym tonight. It is definitely nice build quality IMO and for $7 I think it was a great buy.
I will test it more and report back
I'm using jaybirds bluebudz x and they're very very good. You can use comply with them.
Quality and volume are decent, battery life is good. I run and cycle in them.
