would beats headphones be amazing on this ?
i played with the one s yesterday..and the answer is yes
i wish HTC still included beats earbuds with HTC phones like they did with the rezound. bastards!
You killed, Kenny!
well...rezound didnt sell well at all, and wouldn't legitimate beats headphones included with the phone bump the price up at least $100 ?
I find my Klipsch Image S4's that I got with my OG EVO sound better than any beats ear buds I have tried. Longest I've ever owned a pair of headphones too.
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.

No. Beats makes garbage headphones. Want to crank your bass and treble? Use an EQ. You want accurate sound reproduction? Buy Sennheiser or Klipsch or Polk or many other companies who are REAL audio engineers. Beats is for hipsters who don't know any better.

I own the ibeats (hehe) I like them from what I've heard they're the 3rd best 1st being these sexy over the head V-moda's second being a pair of Phillips over the head......I see a pattern here...over the head sound so much better lol
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
I agree, I prefer my Sony headsets over beats and not matter the plugs I use it always fall out of my ears

After having used the comply foam earbuds that came with my UE superfi VI's i bought a set for all my cheaper headphones and i've never been more comfortable.
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 only works in the HTC music player and HTC video player. Ive read reviews, even watched review videos from real reviewers that discuss the audio coming from the speaker as sounding great because of Beats.
read here for explanation:
http://www.gottabemobile.com/2011/11/15/beats-audio-stock-music-video-apps/
I just want this to be clear for people who may be trying out the phone and expecting to hear amazing sound and being disappointed in Beats and the Phone.
Hope this helps
Once/if the phone is rooted would there be a way to manually turn it on regardless? There was a dev that included beats into an incredible S ROM and it seemed to work whenever you wanted it too, even regardless of headphone brand; i think.
Fyi it doesn't matter what brand headphones are...beats sstill works...

Glad they work with any headphones. I love the white ones that came with my iPod. Just kidding. I have a couple pairs of Bose that I really like so I think I'll sell the beats ones.
I like my SkullCandy headphones better than the Beats! Glad it will work, however, I use Google Music. Not trying to bog my phone down with unneeded used space! Thanks for the clarification though!
Personally I wish HTC would offer s beats free version of the Rezound for 100 bucks less.

Yeah those headphones are going on eBay. I would be happy with $50 for them since I consider them a bonus since the Razr is also $299
I wish I could get the beats to work with google music or with my Motorola SD-10HD bluetooth headphones.
i always used cheap jbuds from amazon for 10 bucsk..loved them, and the funny thing is i'm a total audiophile/musician, but when it comes to earbuds, i don't spend money on them because i'd rather use actual headphones
so getthing these beats for free with it was a nice little changeup, i actually REALLY like how they sound with beats audio turned on.
I just looked on eBay an I founds these ear buds going for over 100$ in some auctions. That's crazy. No wonder full retail is so much for this phone

I know I am definitely putting mine up.
Beats as a sound enhancer is interesting. It boosts bass frequencies, seemingly cranks up the overall gain of the signal (Heavy limiting... a little too much IMO), and puts a little extra emphasis on the top end (highs).
The Beats earbuds seems to color the sound in a similar fashion (save the signal boost, of course...). This is actually a problem because the effect is doubled, effectively over-coloring the sound. The result is unnatural and fatiguing to the ear. The easy test is to try it without beats enabled while using the beats earbuds. Sounds pretty decent, but these aren't exactly top-shelf buds.
The other option is to use Beats Audio with really nice earbuds. I'll bet that will sound nice. I've got some Phonak Audeo earbuds that I use for in-ear stage monitoring with my 80s band. Maybe I'll bust them out and do a shootout with the beats buds. Having heard both sets of buds with music, I have no doubt the Phonaks will sound better. But I'm curious about how they'll respond to the Beats Audio effect.
Hey has anybody else noticed audio noise on the line when music is NOT playing? I get electrical noise when it's hooked up to my truck's audio system, with the audible frequency of the noise changing as the engine's RPMs do. Grounding issue? It never did that with my Incredible.
On my old Incredible, I had NilsP's Buisness Gingersense 3.5 ROM on it, and it had Beats Audio capability as well. With Beats enabled on the Incredible, the bass boost and crisp clean treble sounds were quite nice, but I don't think the Incredible had the hardware to do all the signal boosting like we get with the Rezound. The sound of Beats enabled on my Incredbile would've satisfied an audiophile. It was fantastic. Jury is still out for me re: beats on the Rezound. So far, the Rezound's Beats audio feels just a bit too in-your-face.
Think I'm gonna throw mine on too. Never use ear buds. Just an fm transmitter in my car.

well if you bought the phone solely because of 'beats' then lol ...
but yeah, just using an EQ and knowing how to properly adjust it is really all you need.

sadly, blue tooth isn't really intended to be used for music.. at least not current versions of bluetooth up to 3.0(which is what the rezound uses). apparently though, bluetooth 4.0 will be better structured for music. but then again, that does you no good if you have a rezound.
Is that why there's a 1-2 second delay in the music when i change tracks? lol
I've had the OG droid, thunderbolt, and now the rezound... they all have that 1-2 second delay in sound from the device to sound in my car. I was beginning to think it's my car's bluetooth that is the issue.

It's supposed to be in your face. Think about Dr. Dre and the Genre he has dominated. Beats is what it is meant to be. I remember wearing a head band around the outside of my headphones to get the speakers closer to my ears and seal out ambient noise. Beats make the 808 kick like the booming systems in the truncks of the Jeeps of my youth. It's not audiophile but it is what it is and the people like it, and you can turn it off if you don't like it.

What are some of the best premium headphones for the s2? I'm looking to spend between $100 - $200. I actually don't care if they are headphones or earbuds just as long as they fit in my pocket.

I am a headphone junky... (I couldn't possibly name all the ones I've ever had haha) but all I can say is beats are overpriced for what they are. If you want a truly good pair of headphones, get the ultrasone hfi 580's. The sound is absolutely amazing!! Has a lot of bass but is is very tight, and not muddy (like the beats are). Also there is no lack in the highs and midrange. Of all the headphones I have used, there is nothing that comes close in my opinion. They are about $140 so they also fall in your range.
I just got the Klipsch S4 Reference and they look and sound amazing!

150...FOR EAR BUDS??
I can't see that ever being worth it. I got some sennheiser cx200s (I think) recently on sale for 15 and they're awesome.
Klipsch, Sennheiser, Shure - all well respected high-end brands
Skullcandy is well below the price range you state but they offer good "bang for your buck", especially if you buy a set of Comply foam eartips for their earbuds.
Bose and Beats are massively overpriced crap.
Q&A or Accessories... Q&A or Accessories... where oh where do I throw this thread?
Moved to Accessories.
I am using Ultimate Ears 600 with my SGS 2, got for $78 from Amazon during Christmas sale. You can find it around $80 on amazon from time to time; however, you will probably want to buy 600vi, it has mic and controls and as much as I know everything but volume control works there. These are armature headphones and renewed superfi 5, so if you listen bass and not music, I would not recommend though. Klipsch S4 are also good from what I heard, but according to this and this theme, UI has better build quality quality, but S4i sounds better.... but I cannot personally comment how they differ. One thing, I am happy with UI 600.
Also just noticed that superfi 10 on sale again. This are one of the best IEM on the market. There is also vi version, with mic and so on, but I never saw it to go on sale, and you can buy replacement cable with mic for superfi 10 from logitech website anyway.
And yes, should agree about beats, as overpriced crap made and sold my same company who sells overpriced cables.
Don't get Beats.. They're overpriced useless things. Quality of sound and build is nothing compared to better companies such as Bose and Sennheiser. I'd suggest getting a pair of those. I have CX 400's and they're very good. Of course you can get higher-priced pairs. They really do make a difference in sound. For people who say otherwise, try a pair of 200 dollar headphones/earbuds and then try a pair of 10 dollar JVCs... It's night and day.

I would also like to add that it should have a mic as well.

To each his own i guess.. The earbuds sound awesome.. Deep bass and very very clear. For everyone that says they don't- well that's just stupid. They could be a little over priced but the sound quality is the best I've heard coming out of ANY earbuds. Even uses Monster cable.. (high-end stereo/speaker wire).. Depends who you are.. Someone like me is't gonna spend any less than $100 bucks anyway, regardless of what kind of headphones i get and when you get up in that price range (unless your spending $3/$400), your selection greatly gets narrowed down.. I landed on beats and they sound fweekin great..

Then you may not have heard Klipsch Image S4's. For $70-$80 they're pretty hard to beat in terms of earbuds. Tight bass, clear highs and mids, you'll be hearing sounds in your music you never
even knew was there
Regarding Monster cable use in Beats.......could be the reason why they are overpriced Monster cable being overpriced is another topic all together...lol

Agreed 100 fold. Beats are for people who don't know anything about balanced sound and just want muddy thumping. They don't even have as much of a kick as they should for what they're going after.
I personally have Phonak Audeo PFEs. I bought them for use with an mp3 player and not a phone so I'm not sure how they'd work out there. I am one who with always tune my equalizer to get the sound I want, and the PFEs are great in that regard. They have a very balanced sound which lets me EQ to my hearts content without getting any sort of distortion. The low end is a bit lacking compared to other headphones I've had (like Hippo VBs and CX300s) but they have better mid and high range to compensate.

I'd recommend these SOUL by Ludacris SL150CB for the perfect sound quality. I'm amazed by how clean these sound. They are more expensive than those you're looking at and they're over-ear. Just a friendly suggestion. Plus they have in-line controls with a mic. (They actually come with 2 cables, one with the in-line and one without it).
As for in-ear, I haven't used any of those, but would recommend the Bose based on past experience with their products. Generally they just have a cleaner sound. I might recommend the SOUL in-ear headset also. I'm not sure if they have the in-line control, but they should have some with it. The headphones I have are very clean sounding with just the right amount of bass for everything. Just a thought
If you are lucky you can still find Klipsch X5 for under $100 still, bass is clear with instrument that is better than the others listed here. Its actually a $225+ iem that are on sale for under $100 now. The S4 is a bit sibilant vs the others, but bass production is solid for the price.
I would also say really take a look at the Monster Turbine line, may not be as flashy or what not as the Beats, but they sound better for the same price as the Beats(after all Monster is the company that made the Beats line). Trust me these are way better than the iBeats and the Beats by Dre, at the same price.

I should sell mine too, I have a pair of Etymotic ER-4's I've been using for a couple years now.

I had the Shure SE215, and sold them, I thought the sound was very weak. I DO however have the Shure SE530s and these are the best in-ear phones in existance, bar none!! Assuming you're not in the market for $350-$400 earbuds, however, for ~ $75 (they were $55 when I got them) the klipsch s4s sound fantastic. I compared them against the bose, and thought they (the klipsch) sounded much better. ymmv
If sound quality is more important to you than bass, I go with the Etymotic MC2s. They include a mic and volume controls. I owned the Klipsch Image S4, and while they were good, they were a bit heavy on the bass. Etymotics are cleaner with less bass distortion.
My vote for the best over the ear headphones goes to V-Moda Crossfade. Nearly half the price of Beats and the sound is amazing. Plus they come in a variety of colors to satisfy whatever vibe your going for.

My vote goes here too. The Crossfade LP can be found for a little over $100 on eBay and sound great. They also have amazing build quality and look frekin sick. Check them out, you won't be disappointed if you buy a pair.
Well i appreciate everybody's input. Those all seem like good pics but i ended up going with the bose mie2 and etymotic research hf5. Im going to do an extensive test on both and return the one that i dont want. Im leaning more towards the etymotics though due to its earbud inserts.

Well, I guess this is a very ymmv thing. Based on your recommendation, and the excellent reviews the Triplefis get, I ordered a pair and lived them a week. I don't care for them, thought the bass was boomy and the imaging not as good as the 530s, so I returned them. I know all about requiring a good seal with earbuds, so that wasn't my issue.
But I'm always searching for a less expensive alternative to the Shures (I know the cable's going to tear off one of these days).
I highly recommend Etymotic headphones. I have the mc5's. They have great bass without muffling mids like beats and excellent sound isolation. Etymotic.com also check out head-fi.org for rank and reviews

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 love my Etymotics ER-4's. Little pricey compared to the other ones here, they have lower prices in ears though.
i hope yall know what good headphone sound like

Bose is all name. The Bose sound sucks. Plenty of better headphones for less or same price can be had.
Etymonics are amazing. I actually like the klipsche a lot. B&W are amazing when priced against monster. 299.99 P5's demolish anything in that price range.

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!

I have klipsch image One s4i's. They sound so good. Amazing highs and mids and tight bass. But for hip hop, the i beats are great. My $0.02

Seems like people are really recommending earbuds. Are there recommendations for full sized headphones under $50? I have Sony EX51 earbuds that are ok, but am looking for something that's a bit louder and produces a fuller sound. Seems like actual over the earphones would be best for that. Thoughts?
Any of the Sennheiser HD's will be good. I really like my HD-202 headphones. They are under $25 on Amazon. Also, the AKG K81 DJ headphones are awesome! They are $36 right now on Amazon (I paid $80). I think I like them a little better than the Sennheiser. With headphones you will get a little more bass than with earbuds. I personally like earbuds best since they are more portable, but I paid a little over $400 for the Shure Se-530s, and $250 for my Ultimate Ears 5 pros.
Also, from my experience, Bose, Beats and Skullcandy do not sound good. The Bose had good bass, and some highs, but missed the mids. I didn't like the sound from the Beats or Skullcandy at all.
There's a lot of good quality earbuds that will give you loud full sound. Klipsch S4s are good, and you can find some decent sennheiser and audio technica earbuds for under $50. Same for headphones.
As for headphones vs earbuds, I think it just depends on what you find more comfortable and portability.

I've always been an earbud guy because of the isolation so i can play at a lower volume. After i experienced my first pair of comply foam buds that came with my UE SuperFi Vi's i never went back to headphones when i'm outside, its just way too convenient. The only thing that bugs me is that if i'm having lunch and i try to listent to music, the movement of my jaw tends to make any earbud pop out no matter what, so I suppose headphones would get the thumbs up in that situation.
I use the aforementioned UE's normally, they sound pretty nice though they are not as heavy on the bass as the throwaway offerings from skullcandy that i have. I agree with caspertodd on his experience with beats and skullcandy, those earbuds are tuned to be bass heavy, and i personally perfer a neutral sound where i can EQ as i see fit.
I just picked up a set of ultimate ears metrofi200v on amazon for less then 40$ shipped. best in ear monitors I have ever heard for under 100$ . they have balanced mids,a little to much mid bass,good low bass and sweet highs. They sound awesome on the evo 4g lte. I will never buy monster,beats or Sony's again. They sound thick and airy opposed to my other headphones that sound muddy and tinny,these are perfect

Ultimate ears metrofi 200v > Sony mdr ex56 . They sound a lot better then I thought it would
I say go for Shure SE215. With the foam earbuds they isolate so much sound you don't need a lot of volume to hear your music.

it used to be that IEM's offered better sound for your dollar, but that gap has been thinning for the past couple of years.
granted they'll look goofy as hell on you, I much recommend the Monoprice 8323 if you're looking at budget full-size. They are literally kicker rebrands, and sound is in league with the ATH-M50's (which typically sell for ~$130).

I have these as well, and if you're on a budget, you can't really beat these. This is the first set of headphones I've ever bought. I've always used a $300 set of Shure earbuds before for my "good" set, and monoprice earbuds for my running around/working out set.
The Shure's sound isolation was just too good and I wasn't hearing my family calling for me when I needed to, so I decided to try out these Sennheiser's. They block ambient noise just enough without totally making me oblivious to the world
