I had a good pair of over-the-ear headphones that I used however, they only work on my phone under specific conditions (they're gaming headphones). That being said I want more music specific headphones that were, well red and somewhat good looking. Wanted to know if anyone had suggestions?

They aren't red, but Audio Technica ATH M50's are the best for the money. I have yet to find a pair that is better for the price (sub $150).

I love music, that's why over the ear headphones are the only way to go. Not to mention with ear buds you cause direct damage to your eardrum.

Well, for me, my desktop over the ear headphone setup is too big to go portable, so I got IEMs instead. As long as you don't crank the volume up, i don't think they will do much damage. But back on topic, OP, if you get the headphones you linked, you might experience some clipping and distortion at lower volumes, if this happens, I recommend a portable amp, like the Fiio E11 or something along those lines. It will boost the volume, and make the headphones sound a lot better overall. :good:

Going to agree. I have a pair of beats solos and they don't even compare to my audio technica m50's even though there's a 70 dollar price difference. Beats being the $200 set.
I have the Motorola SD-10HD bluetooth headphones and they are red and black. They actually work very well and have controls on them so you can adjust volume and skip tracks.

I'd have to agree also. I bought that wireless beats by dre and used them for a week. They were good but after doing some more research I returned the beats (way over priced) and got the over the ear bluedio wireless headphones for $146. Much happier with them especially at half the price.

beats by Dre? You're overpaying a lot more for THOSE than for iPhone headphones. All the Dre IEMs are is bass, bass, and more bass. Clarity be damned, we need more bass!
You can get better, far more accurate IEMs (in-ear monitors, or in-ear buds) for under $20. Try some MEElectronics m9s maybe?
Don't get me wrong. He IS paying too much for what the iPhone buds offer, but the Dre's are even worse when it comes to price/performance. Might as well get BOSE

Some of the Samsung docks (like EDD-D1G8BE) have a SPEAKER LINE OUT in the back. If you're connecting it to a nice speaker system this would make the sound a bit better than the headphone jack.
I got it at the base exchange. On the air force base in San Antonio
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G with Beats Audio using xda app-developers app
Which one did you get on base?
Power cord + audio patch cable + any device with audio in = my solution.
Cables are a dime a dozen and you can get something far quality with an audio in rather then trying to get something with a dock or BT connection.
I have a Motorokr eq5 bluetooth speaker that's I like to use. It sounds pretty dam good in my opinion. It cost me about 65$ but I use it every day for about 6-7hours straight.

I've just plugged in my headphones (which are pretty good) in my amaze for the first time since having Beats Audio (on NRG Rom today) and the difference I can hear is just some kind of melted sound that looks like some equalizing with a lot of bass as I expected since Beats headphones have nothing but bass to what I read, and a slight reverb effect which is really annoying to me since I am a fan of pure sound. Is there anything else in this mod that makes it interesting?
I just keep it disabled and I enjoy my Amaze more each day with all the ROMs getting better!
Thanks!

To enjoy TRUE Beats audio, you have to buy Beats headphones. But to me it doesn't make a difference
I consider it a gimmick, I thought it was a special sound chip or something, but it turns out its just a couple of files in the os. And beats headphones aren't that good anyway
Sent from my HTC_Amaze_4G using Xparent Green Tapatalk 2
nope, there's nothing all that special about it, just marketing. DSP does way more for sound then beats, hell, even the eq that comes with cloudskipper has better sound then what beats puts out.
Also, I'm not a fan of things like since its a beats phone, you need the beats headphones. That sounds alot like apple, and I hate apple for that!
PowerAmp shuts everything else down.
Beats audio on a phone is a glorified bass boost with a sexy logo.
But don't sit here and act like beats headphones are no good. They're not the best, but they dont cost as much as the best either. Kevin Durant isnt the best either... does that mean he's not very good?

I have to disagree a little on the last point, go a bit on audio forums and you will see quickly enough that the best point of the Beats headphones is their look. I tried the little ones, the cheapest model and the only thing it had better than the 5$ earbuds I can find at the Walmart is a big bunch of bass. As much distortion and sound denaturation (not sure this last is an english word...). Sure the bigger models are better but out of bass power (not bass quality) for the quality/price Beats by Dre are far to be a great deal, for what my ears told me and what I read.

What kind of music do you listen to? For my part I listen mostly to classical and progressive Rock so sound clarity and details is a very important point, which I think Beats are not better at than my Audio-Technica ATH M50 for about twice the price on eBay.

Sent from my ADR6425LVW using xda premium
Personal taste I guess. I think they sound like absolute trash.
Edit: I guess I should clarify. They are bass heavy headphones, but they aren't your typical bass-heavies. They boost mainly mid bass (as opposed to low bass), and they actually suppress mids and some of the highs. They're very boomy, but it sounds like a muddy mess to my ears. There's no definition in the mids whatsoever, and the highs get lost in the mix.
I can kinda agree with strike. But with the right eq app ( power amp is what I use) it can be cleaned up nicely. And much better sound than your average cheap ear buds.
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using xda premium
Yea, but for $40, I'd rather buy a set of mid-range Sennheiser CX 300s or Kilpsch Image S3s. For the $100 the iBeats would normally set you back, I'd get a set of Shure SE215s.

i to use poweramp and its the only way to make them sound less bassie.
It has taken me 7 months with this phone to slowly perfect the EQ in power amp to get the maximum audio quality from the iBeats.

Yeah, my HTC One's loudness was massive compare to G3's. And I'm using Sony MDR1-RNC headphones. The sound quality is ok but could be 2-3 steps more on the loudness scale.
The sound quality seems pretty good with my VSonic GR07 MKII , but more quantity (volume) is needed to drive them. I'm sure everything will be great after root is acquired and audio mods are applied.
I use the Shure SE846 IEMs, so I have a lot of isolation going here which means the volume is MORE than adequate, even for hip hop and metal. What really amazes me is just how CLEAR the sound is. No Viper4Android and even Spotify's "high" setting sounds great. MAN this is an upgrade from the Nexus 5.

Ha HA! Howdy friendo. Yeah, this is a diesel device for audio.
Volume through headphones depends on their sensitivity, does it not?
I have too many pairs of head/earphones to list. I just wait for good prices. I don't post over at Head but so many good recommendations there cost me much coin, lol!
I'm digging the sound quality no doubting that. Anyone know what DAC is in the G3?
It does, but raw output power is what it is and the G3's isn't nearly as much as the HTC M8, but honestly with a good pair that isolates well these have plenty of volume.
I used to have more than I have now, I'm keeping it simple because once you spend $1000 on headphones it's time to re-evaluate your life.
As for the DAC, I have no idea. There was a Wolfson DAC in the G2 but apparently not in the G3, but the tests I've seen on the G3 show that it's got the clearest audio output of any android device currently so who knows what's in there.
I just use the ones that came with the phone and there alright. I have used my K701's with the phone (directly) and i get a pretty decent sound out of it, loud enough though not super loud obviously.

So basically you're spending all this money on devices and then skimping out on the audio, ensuring that your expensive devices sound absolutely terrible when you actually use them for music. Good job.

Good to see someone has good taste in headphones.
I have the gr07's mk1
Great sound for the moolah
My main qualm with my old Z1 was the fact that it was way too low in terms of sound volume. The G3 is definitely louder, but not quite as loud as I want it.
There is a quick fix if you're rooted though, the thread can be found here.
The LG quad beats are actually quite good fit stock headphones. They are much better than apples ear pods. I normal just use my Boise free style in ear ones because they are comfortable she have decent sound quality. I just hate how all headphones are made for apple and you can't use the volume toggles, but the center button works for Google now.

That is weird that more headphones don't come with android-capable controls. It's not like the company needs different controls for every model, and there are a LOT more Android phones out there.
So I've tried my SE846, my VModa M100, and my Final Audio Pandora, and yep. This phone sounds awesome. Every single time.
