Well i was wondering what is the best headphones for a Evo 3D , the htc earphones broke with me after like 3months of use. And i was interested in buying the dr dre beats headphones, but read all the reviews and well everyone said their crappy. Im still interested in buying headphones so i can use them for multi purpose use , like for my evo and computer maybe something else. And well wanted to get peoples opinions or when i can find some great headphones with long durability .
I have the beats audio earbud and I think they are great for me. Just don't get the cheapest ones with the little cord.

As jstn said, I guess Beats (with Beats rom ofc) would be the best for a HTC device.

I also have the studio's. I have a pair or Tours as well.
beats are fine headphones, but be aware your paying for the name, similar quality headphones are available cheaper...
Also if you dont listen to hip hop, rap or RnB. Or dont like bass you would be an idiot to buy beats.
I love my seinheisser hd 203's
I'm a rock fan so good bass (not overwhelming like beats) , good midrange and great highs for those guitar solos, overall great headphones

If you are into in-hear headphones i suggest Sennheiser CX 300 II, sound quality and fidelity much better than Beats Tour (i have them both )
Using A Jays "one" they are made for android.. there's a cool app for buttons. They look awesome and most importantly they sound fantastic.

Sony XB40EX. Compared these with "beats", and the Sony's sound far better. The 13.5mm drivers make the beats sound pathetic.
I got the wooden in-ear headphones from skullcandy they r pretty sweet, in the $70.00 range, wood just sounds better...

I'd say either another for the Sennheiser CX 300 II's or a close second the Skullcandy Titan's. Skullcandy gets a bad wrap as they have been known to have crappier quality stuff compared to most but if you take care of them properly you can't deny the sound is great in these.
I find the Titan's work better with a ROM w/ Beat's Audio. The extra bass boost is definitely heard.
Both can be gotten for about 30-40$ average.
If you are looking for ear buds I would highly recommend the Klipsch Image S4. I have them and they sound amazing I found a cheap set on eBay for half of what the retail for!
For listening to music on the move, I like headphones like the basic ear headphones that rest in your ear but don't stick all the way into it, but it's hard to find good quality ones if I'm honest. So I was delighted to find out that I got headphones with my EVO 3D that are actually somewhat decent, and they're the ones I use.
I just
bought a pair of Soul by Ludacris SL99's yesterday...Don't let the name fool you, these are the best sounding earbuds I have ever heard. The mids and highs are all crisp and clear and the bass is powerful but not overwhelming..I listen to everything from country to rock to rap/RnB/hip hop..Everything sounds amazing.

Check out V-Moda Crossfade LP headphones. They can be had for about $100 on ebay and sound incredible with the Rezound. Don't get Skullcandy over ear headphones because they pretty much suck when it comes to build quality. The Crossfade's are built like a tank and are crazy comfortable.
Like others have said, I wouldn't buy the skullcandys. My only experience, albeit limited, is through listening to a friend's set when he wanted me to hear some tracks. Personally, I thought the build quality and sound quality were both garbage. The Beats are acceptable if you just want some noise to get through a work day. If you are trying to get a good set of cans, I would look to the more 'professional' brands. I love my Sennheiser HD650s and also have a pair of Grado SR80's that I keep in my bag and you can find them cheap (<$100). Just my two cents, though.
yh i think the beats are better . i also heard the beats solo have too much bass and is not balanced. i see many djs using the hesh . they told me that they are cheaper and could go to higher volumes. do u think the rezounds beats software would sound good with skull candy too

Klipsch, Etymotics, Shure. Those are just a few of the easily available, reasonably priced, substantially better options than Bose, Skullcandy or Beats. Bose sounds like brittle poop.

I wouldn't say Bose headphones or speakers suck, per se. The majority of them produce very respectable sound. You can just get higher quality headphones for less than a Bose costs. Everything's relative.
The best headphones I've ever bought were a $80 pair of RadioShack store-brand over-ear "Titaniums" that aren't sold anymore. Things produced the sweetest highs, clearest mids, and thumpiest lows I ever asked for. Lasted nearly four years (with much of the padding damaged/replaced by tape and packing foam, heh) through three moves, endless pet chewing, and admittedly excessive volume without a hint of the thin cable breaking or the diaphragms distorting. Far as I know, they still work--they were so great, I lost them in the divorce in exchange for $200 of auto body work. Been looking for a solid replacement pair ever since. Nothing with the Beats brand comes even close--brand name garbage that adds heavy weights to $5 headphones and pretends heft=quality.
I wouldnt touch skullcandy earphones/headphones unless money was really tight..
Bose arent bad at all. I actually have both the bose mie2's and the etymotics hf5's and i DO use my hf5s alot more than my bose. The only huge issue with the mie2's are the fact that i cant get a complete ear canal seal with the stock inserts. They are in my opinion a bit overpriced. If they can be had for 70 id say go for them. I bought my hf5's for about 80 and i have to say that they are the best money can buy (in that price range). another good set of earbuds are the audeos phonaks. I keep hearing about how well balanced they are. They are supposed to have better base than the hf5's but weaker mids and highs. Hope this helps!

No, and there's no point to beatsoff audio. It's nothing but marketing hype with no real actual technical benefits. It's nothing but a stupid equalizer preset.
I now regard Beats as being even worse than Monster in terms of overhyping ripoff artists. Even Bose at least has SOME technical merit even though nearly all of their products are significantly overhyped and overpriced.
LOL this question always getting asked. I still love how just cause they got a artist to say that the headphones were good they are regarded for good sounding headphones. Beats headphones are poor quality overpriced headphones.
- From an owner of real headphones.
Lol.. they are def overpriced but do they sound like crap- no. Not at all. I haven't had a TON of headphones before but I've use Bose and skull candy and many cheap headphones, the Beats sound better than all of them. Of coarse that's my personal opinion.. but I consider myself someone that is a bit picky.. but non the less they sound good regardless of the what else is out there or the over marked price tag. And I thought monster cable was a quality stereo cable.. not cheap crap?!
Before everyone starts hating on my post I'm just making a point that the headphones are decent and they DO sound good- despite what all the haters say. After all, haters gonna hate that's the point
Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk
That's because those aren't good headphones (Bose...). Get a $40 pair of Sennheisers, problem solved.
Beats is just oversaturated bass. Headphones selling for $300 when it should be at most half of that.
Same as Monster. It's a marketing ploy.
Yup... Senns, Shures - go with a proper regarded brand, you'll get FAR more for your money.
Beats may sound better than the cheaper Skullcandies - but NOT enough to justify the delta in price.
My personal opinions:
Budget with good "bang for your buck" - Skullcandy Titans (or others with 11mm drivers) combined with Comply foam eartips
Beyond that, I'd say: Sennheiser, Shure, or for those with money to blow, Etymotics. Audio-Technica has a few decent items, I've been tempted by their active noise cancelling circumaurals for a while. Their microphones are the best budget ones I've used. (They're probably not the best out there - but the best in the sub-$100 camcorder stereo mic range until you go into standalone units like the Zoom H1/H2/H4n)
However, under no circumstances are Beats worth the exorbitant price.
Totally agree with that. They are way over priced.. but they do sound better than some other ear buds I've bought and paid $40/$50 for..

Senns seem the best for me but pricewise since I lose headphones ask the time skull candy are rather good for their price.
Sent from my SGH-I777 using XDA App
Well, Bose is overpriced, but in terms of noise-cancellation, or at least as far as I've researched, they are on the most effective out there so they can price however they want. But yeah, Sennheiser and ATH dominates in terms of overall audio quality, build, comfort, etc. I guess excessive flight travellers might go with the Bose while others go with Sennheiser/ATH, and as for the Beats, you got to agree, some of them look really nice, so that can go to the richish flashy people, not necessarily looking to wear the ones with the best audio quality, but good nonetheless.

The point is that they are overpriced and there are options which are FAR cheaper and match or exceed them in performance, such as units from Sennheiser or Shure.

Very true....
Brother had 2 different pairs, the solo and solo hd. Both sounded decent, but for what they cost they should sound a lot better than "decent". They mostly increased the low end of the spectrum muddling out any treble.
My skullcandy skullcrushers are pretty nice...
Every single pair of beats headphones I've ever seen on display have been broken. They feel like they're made of terrible plastic, and they don't sound nearly as good as other cans in their price range. I'll also take IEMs over cans any day, but that's just me. Etymotics ftw

Even thou its beats it really comes down to just the quality of ur headphones not the brand. Doesn't have to be beats to take advantage of it. I'd recommend a pair of sennheiser they r pretty amazing. Mine r about 5 years old and I've compard them to any beats or bose headphones I could try at best buy and neither come close in terms of sound quality.

I listen to a full range of music for rock beats aren't the best sometimes(the ear budds at least). I use poweramp to configure my sound and such, but I did notice my pair of auvio buds and skull candy buds did not sound as good as my ibeats.
If your looking for some bargain basement good sounding earbuds try skull candy 50/50s i just got a pair and they sound just as good as the ibeats that came with the rezound, i paid 30 bucks shipped on ebay. They retail for closer to 60$ though. With beats your paying for the name. Dont be a label hoe lol

Beats are crap headphones as others have said. Stick with beans like Shure, Sennheiser, etc.
I am a music producer...beats just take the frequency and muddy it up. If that is your listening preference you can just as easily do that with EQ.

The same goes for me, except I own the s4i version. CNET has these headphones ranked as #1 in quality and pricing. I picked mine up off of ebay super cheap, I think I might have paid 45$ for them at the time, which was slamming deal then, but, now you can pick them up most places around that price all day.

Beats by Dr. Dre Monster iBeats Earbuds Headphones from HTC Rezound
These Dr. Dre iBeats Earbuds are priced to sell out quickly- so act now. A major telecommunication firm bundled these custom made ibeats with a major cell phone and we got a great deal on the excess.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Lol, HTC says they can't give you headphones anymore because they can't source them, and then Verizon sells them as excess to an eBay seller because they have too many. I guess the phone wasn't a resounding success.
Just a reZounding one )))
There just the beats from the rezound seems legit.
Are these even worth it? I've been skeptical about the whole Beats stuff, and if they're actually worth it or just a gimmick. I haven't gotten around to test them because... well I haven't found the opportunity to. I can PROBABLY test the overhead headphones, but I doubt I'll be able to find these for testing.
Can anyone with legitimate experience with headphones confirm if these In-ear ones are worth getting?
Coming from someone who has owned Solo HDs, Tours, Studios, and iBeats, I would say the in ear ones are not worth it, period, and that its better to invest in the over the ear, for two reasons.
One, I usually use in ear headphones for casual use, in the gym, anywhere where I just stuff them in my picket after using them. So I don't really take care of them at all, and the headphone plug is usually the thing that breaks. The plug on the Beats is nothing special, the actual speakers are. So with that in mind, I broke my Tours 3 months in twice, and now awaiting the warranty ones to come in so I can sell them new. I prefer $20 JVC Marshmellow headphones since again, I don't use in ears for anything special. And if they break, just go and buy another pair, nothing to freak out about. Great sound too, and very light.
Now for the on ear ones, Solo HDs and Studios, I've listened to plain Solos and for the extra $30, the quality is definitely noticeable. The Solos just are a bass house, while the Solo HDs are a lot more balanced and have better sound. The Studios are better, clearly, and offer real notice cancellation that actually works. The only downside, is the constant use of batteries. I hated that. I prefer my Solo HDs to the Studios mainly because of that. Now, if the cable on the Solos/Studios breaks, I can simply get another for $5-15, depending the the brand since its just a 3.5 mm to 3.5 mm, nothing proprietary or fancy.
In the end, using White Solo HDs and loving every second. Hope this helps.

iBeats sucks in my opinion. It's really bass heavy and both treble and bass are muddy. After a short period of time, they actually start to hurt the inside of your ear canals. They aren't worth $200 like eBay says, they're worth $99. But $40 is a good price for mediocre headphones. If you want to spend a little extra cash, I would recommend you get the klipsch s4i. I switched to them after using the iBeats for a year and I'm disappointed at what I've been missing this whole time. They're balanced, bass heavy when need be, and they don't hurt after prolonged periods of use. I love my klipsch s4i's. They're $99 as well.
I'm not trashing Beats btw, the big headphones from Dr. Dre are pretty good. Albeit a bit pricey.

They are only so popular because of some famous dudes name on them, when a lower end basketball shoe is just as good. It's a "style" thing.
Like I said, I love the Beats EQ with normal headphones.

i agree with you! the regular ibeats sound better than the ibeats with the rezound. i got a pair of monster ntune's and they sound better than the beats. they are overly priced and they did sound good when monster was still with them, but not anymore. like you said the beats eq is all i still want on the phone. my next pair are some beyerdynamic's
I always turn Beats off anyways because my camry has its own eq settings and it produces too much bass and lowering the cars bass just makes it worse. Glad to hear this **** is over.
I just got my DNA last week and I think it sounds better with Beats turned off than the Rezound I had did with Beats turned on. So, for me, it's an upgrade either way. As far as Beats headphones though, I agree that they are overpriced for the small and debatable increase in sound quality that you get. But, then again, I feel the same way about Apple products so maybe I'm the wrong person to ask.

What beats has is the same thing apple and bose have, good marketing departments. If one were to measure the actual sounds against the likes of sennheiser and shure the differences would become apparent. Don't get me wrong, the sound from beats and bose stuff is not terrible, but it isn't as good as their marketing departments would have you believe. I will not be mourning the split.
Bottom line. Any $60 set of cans from a real manufacture kills every set of beats. This is just a fact I'm sorry.
Yeah bose are the same way but I will say that my overpriced qc15's are one of the most comfy set of cans I ever used. Beats can't even get comfort right. Its a fail across the board for them. Sound is just muddy crap. Comfort is what you expect from a cheap crap set of cans. Build quality is way below sub par. I seen more beats snap in 1/2 and pivots and joins fail then any other set of headphones including the cheap $40 skull candys.
You can charge the same amount per oz as gold for a turd but it Dont make it as good as gold. End of the day its just a over priced turd or as we call it....Beats.
I will defend Bose. They dump more money in r and d then anyone else. Yes they are all over priced but Bose's gets comfort and noise canceling. Those are the two things that make me get a set of Bose. They offer something unlike beats that offers nothing you can't get in a $40 set of skull Candy's
I think the best move for HTC is to get as far away from beats as they can. Everyone knows bests suck and is over priced, over hyped. I would call them the apple of audio but that is a huge insult to Apple as at least apple has some quality and beats just slaps there name on any shiny plastic crap they can get out of China for $20 at cost. Then pay some rapper to put them on. They have to be $400 because they have to pay millions to get some rapper to it them on just to sell them. Without it they would sell nothing.
All beats in HTC phones are is a eq curve. Put a real name on it and do they same and I bet they sell more. HTC needs to get in their life boat and let Beats go down like the sinking ship they are then partner with audio tech. Sen, klipsh, Harmon kardon.
And yes I have used and owned Beats Solo HD and pros. They were returned to the store the fallowing day. Yes sound is all personal pref. But no matter what you can get a cheaper better set of cans that kill beats across the board. Most people Dont even listen to lossless audio files they use super compressed crappy mp3 files so picking up a real set of $500 hi fi cans is pointless as you are limited by your format and it will sound the same on a cheaper $100 set of quality cans.
Beats is nothing more then Dr. Dre's last stand before he is officaly washed out. He is just trying to keep his name out there so in 10 years people are like hmm Dre? Didn't he rap with Easy E?
I think people are missing the point. Isn't it the beats amp in this phone? The speaker and overall sound output with this phone is remarkable even with the beats eq off. Beats headphone are overrated, but what they give our phone is good
