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.
Dude skullcandys ink'd.... best ear buds I have ever owned

That's a bummer. Do you have any suggestions for a earbud set with the same functionality as the S4A? Ill settle for reduced audio quality lol. Its hard to find a set that works with the S II
Are these cheap enough?

$2.50. I know you usually get what you pay for, but I'm a huge Monoprice fan... And for that price, how could you not want to give them a shot?
If you can raise your budget, it doesn't get any better than these:

Those look very nice but I REFUSE to pay that much for earbuds.
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 bout these?

i always enjoyed my htc earbuds/mic when i had the inspire. nice fit, decent sound, and buttons for music play back. only thing is the wire eventually starts to pull out of the controls, but not a big deal for the price there

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.

$18, prime eligible, favorite under $30 earbud on Head-Fi. For the best effect you need to let them burn in a bit and experiment to find the right tip for your ears.

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.

i had the S10's.. paired pretty good.. they are not very comfortable tho and you can find them cheaper online elsewhere, around $45.
I had the original S-9's, and they paired well - sounded good too. Watch the knock-offs tho, they are NOT the same,and they won't pair well,or sound good either!

For sure, tons of knock offs on eBay. I got the S-9's but don't use them as much as I used too. They pair well and can be a decent distance from the phone and still pick up signal. If you have a large melon, they may be a bit tight and uncomfy though.

The difference between the knockoffs and the legit ones is the buttons. My S9 has super sensitive buttons, you can just lightly press it and it will stop, skip tracks etc. The knockoffs you have to physically press the buttons firmly. It worked but felt very uncomfortable mashing a button while something is in your ear. My coworker swooped up the knock offs for like $25 on ebay. Also mine came with a Blue Tooth adapter for an ipod, works excellent.
Is there a specific reason you want in ear headphones?
Id say pick up a set of over the ear bluetooth headsets. I had a set of motorola s805's they were good. also had a set of jaybird sb2's which were sick.
Im now rocking a set of the new Beats by dre bluetooth headphones.
If you are stuck on in ear headsets check out jaybird they have an entire bluetooth product line with great support and service.
But i really think you should try over the ear (Your hearing will thank me later)

Then i would definetly recommend Jaybird headphones as they are specifically engineered towards athletes and runners. They have a brand new set of freedom headphones which although I have yet to try look very well built and thought out.
Edit: Besides they have a sweat warranty thats pretty brilliant. Good service from these guys...
Sweat warranty...that's dope. lol

I have a pair of the S9 and S10 Motorola headphones. I bought the S10s as an 'upgrade' but that turned out to not be the case, unfortunately. They weren't as loud and the sound just didn't seem as 'full'. Really the only positive thing about them is that they NEVER cut out on me, and had much better range. My S9s are more comfortable, louder, sound better, but they did cut out at certain angles(probably because I mainly used them with my phone in my pocket instead of on an arm band as recommended).
I just got a pair of the JayBird Freedom headphones for Christmas and they are definitely the best way to go and worth the extra money. The sound and fit is probably as good as you can possibly get with bluetooth in-ear headphones, and of course they have the sweat-proof warranty. I would recommend getting the JayBird's over EVERYTHING else, especially if you're using them for running and working out, as I do. You won't regret it!

They stay in your ear better than anything else on the market, hands down. The hype is very well-deserved. They won't even budge while running... Plus they come with a pretty nice carry case.
Look at the LG hbs-700 on Www.newegg com. Great price and I love them. If you watch, you can catch them on sale. Read the reviews.

Good to see others who support Jaybird. Everyone always asks about my SB2's and with my endorphins most people don't even realize i have um in.
Do the jaybirds come with a standard charger or just a USB chord? Also if they do come with just a USB chord are we able to use the same adapter on our htc evo 3d chargers bc i dont have a computer any more just 3 galaxy 10.1 tabs

It's not the same cord but it is a usb to some small connection. You can plug it into any 5 volt source like pc or HTC's plug.
I have those headphones use it for soccer practice, gym, and work. I have had no problem with them at all the only thing not a major issue for me I had to take off the red pads on the inside since my sweat was un-gluing them. I jump and run with them with no problem in fact its the opposite from slipping out I have to take them off for a second because it pushes in me ears at times.
I got a pair of S9HD a year ago and they shorted out, I called Motorola and RMA'd them, a week later I had brand new S10HD in my hands. Like the S9HD these things are not the most comfortable things in the world and do not mesh well with sunglasses unless you flip them over and wear them R in left ear L in right. I have no problems with pairing and the battery life seems really good, better than the S9HD for sure.
Would I recommend to buy? no, there are other products on the market that work and fit just as well or better for much cheaper.
Ok, here's the deal. I have some power beats phones that I used with my Galaxy S2, and the mic and center play/pause button worked great. I bought a Note and the mic doesn't work. (Damnit) So I bought the Phillips SHS8105A. Well these don't stay deep enough in the ear canal when running with any of the buds to here the bass good. So then I bought the Klipsch S4A earbuds. I ran like 10 steps and the left bud fell out, SMH. So these will not be my solution either. I would love to just use my problem free power beats, so I guess I'm wondering if the problem is software or hardware based. Works on the S2 but not the Note? Could it just be a file missing that enables it? If it didn't work on a phone from the same company it wouldn't be driving me crazy, Lol. Any opinions, help is welcome
I use dell bluetooth

I have the s4a's and I love them to death. I had beats tour in ears before and they are way better then the beats. Oh, and welcome to the site
Where did you get your S4A's from? I found them at best buy on sale for $80. I was thinking of getting them for a week then returning them and getting the SE215's so I can compare the two. And thanks I've been around for awhile but I never posted before until now.

I have the S4a's and I like them a lot. Great sound quality (I've tried numerous earbuds from Sennheiser and MEElectronics), multiple tips to fit your ear, carrying pouch. They suggest you use the Klipsch Control app in the Market. I don't know if anybody else with these can comment - unfortunately when I double-click the inline control to try to skip tracks, it will also redial the last called number on my phone, which of course isn't what I want to do. So I actually don't use their app and instead just rely on stock functionality to use the button to play/pause with one click, and I use the long-press-volume mod in MeanBean ROM to skip tracks.
S4 hands down. I had them and loved them. However the audiophile bug bit me and i upgraded to Ultimate Ears Triple Fi 10 and a Fiio E7 amp lol
another vote for the s4's. I have the reference s4's. I find the quality to be just as good as (with a slightly less prominent bass) my $200 sennheisers.
Theyre not the s4a version, but its the same hardware without the mic and button. Occaisonally they go for under $50, but you can usually find them from $50-$60.
The trade off of the s4a's would be the added bulk, which isnt much, but its enough to get caught on something or snag your jacket, for the functionality of a mic and a single button. I occaisonally find myself wishing i got the s4a's, but i love the slightly slimmer design on the regular ones.
Another reason i went for the reference s4's is because they comes with a little tin box (severely dented now), the size of an altoids can. I'm not sure why it appealed to me so much, but i liked it better than the s4a's accessories.
Can't go wrong either way. They're nice and durable too, but you should keep them in whatever tin or pouch comes with it.
cheers

I can't speak for the Shures, but I had a set of the Klipsch S4's and liked them a lot, in spite of a couple of small faults. They sounded great, as long as I was sitting relatively still. Walking or running, there was a lot of cord noise transmitted and the cord itself was heavy enough to pull the buds out my ears when it was bouncing around (a little clip solved that problem). And yes, I know how to pick the right tips to get the right (tight) fit in my ears. Also didn't like the long-ass straight plug - I prefer the right-angle plugs because I tend to put my phone upside-down in my pocket.
After a cat chewed through the cord on my S4s (he's no longer with us...), I picked up a set of the Ultimate Ears 350 and couldn't be happier. Better deep bass extension without being muddy, better fit, and right-angle plug. Plus I think they're generally cheaper.
Well my Shure's came in yesterday and I haven't found anything to complain about yet. They sound amazing compared to the $20 Sony earphones i had before. The sound isolation is really good on these. With the volume only half way I can't here anything else whatsoever.

I used the s4a's currently using the s4a2's (the new and improved version). These are by far the best ear buds I ever owned and much better than the beats brand. The control app is s*** because it crashes sometimes when the phone is asleep (meaning, no sure control when phone is asleep) BUT there are other, much better control apps out on the Play store. They are expensive but if you treat them well, they will last a long time.

I've had two pairs of the klipsch s4. Could really feel the lows but distorted on the highs. I still would buy another pair though. These are legit
My s4a's are solid, they've essentially replaced my larger cans.
I wholeheartedly recommend them for anybody looking for a solid pair of headphones. Sure they're not 25 dollar headphones, but they don't sound like 25dollar headphones...
I hope you enjoy them
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.

Nice, post a review when you get it and give it a try for a few sessions.
I'm looking into BT earbuds or headphones but just about everything have mixed reviews.

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.
