I'm torn between the two. Any one have experience with these and HTC devices?
Sent from my HTC_Amaze_4G using xda premium
I do not talk on the phone much (or at least try not too), but I will only purchase a moto 'flip' type personally from now on. I really love the ability to quickly turn it on/off by flipping the mic piece. I have used a few different Moto flip sets, and currently also have a Plantronics Voyager Pro+ (recieved from work). They all sound decent (at least), and the wind/noise cancellation is excellent w/the Voyager (and gets better with the Motos (which is good),as the sets get newer).
Since I do not wear the set in my ear all the time, the tedious on/off process with any other set, really is a problem for me. Holding a button for 1-2 sec gets to be an issue, and then you forget and it stays on (with you forgetting). Then you think your phone is not working because the ear piece is be used where it is sitting in your car. Well, at least that happened to me once, a while ago, with my blackberry.
Another cool thing (maybe) is the NFC pairing - nothing earth shattering, but it may be the only way to use the NFC today .
I have not used that particular Moto model, but since it is one of their top of the line models, it will sound/perform well. I have experiance with their H700/710/H720, H17, H15. Also some garbage ones, and a Cardo Scala 500.
I may have liked the sound better from other units in the past, but the on/off was always the most important think for me.

Bose bt2. Hands down the best I've used. And I've been using the jawbones since the first one. The plantronics voyager 975 (forget the number, comes with charging case. Doesn't do a2dp) is good with calls too though. Other than that my opinion and I've used and tried many bts. Is you get what u pay for. 150$ is a small price to me considering all my voice calls are through my headset.
(1200min or so a month in voice calls)
Ps
Bose sound quality is excellent (to and fro), good distance, a2dp, relatively good comfort.
Jb era is second because the noise assassin can get intrusive at times and muffle your voice.

IME Motorola has the best offerings in each tier of price ranges.
bluant q2 awesome!!
So I went with the Motorola Elite Flip. I am disappointed. If I pay that much for a bluetooth headset, I don't want it to limit me no matter how inappropriate my language may be. Couldn't figure out a way to turn the censor/filter off so I'm just gonna return it.

hey guys, anyone know of a sound dock or speakers i can get for the note? i go to a little boxing gym and there's not much of a setup there for music, just wanted something portable that i can bring along, not too expensive but nothing too cheap of low quality either, thanks!

have you used the Bose soundlink ?? Id like to hear a few reviews on this looks like it will be my next accessory
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.

Let's talk about DAC, SQ and other related topics here...

It's probably just Tegra 3's DAC.
I've tried to contact HTC about it. I have the S4 (HOXL) version, and I really don't want to upgrade and lose SQ.
I believe the headphone jack is still using the same DAC, but the voltage is up to 1.5V compared to .5V on the One X. The external speaker has a custom amplifier to reduce noise and increase max volume.
I find the SQ and Volume on the HOX good enough, just hoping the HOX+ is same or better. Am waiting on that before placing my order

Should be a lot better considering HTC mentioned it while talking about the HOX+.
I don't know what a DAC or sq is but I hope they start putting loudspeakers on their devices that compete with iPhone 4s the loudspeaker on that is so loud and it maintains to be clear which makes it brilliant another think I hope is HTC stop placing loudspeaker at the back of the device and instead on the top I love the design of the lumia 900 and iPhone all the ports are in the right place. I like to work and listen to music without having to cover my loudspeaker. I personally think this is a design dealt to place the speakers on th back Nokia and apple never do this.

Does the one x+ hisses like mad with sensitive iems like the one x?
You do not really understand something unless you can explain it to your grandmother
Just bought this to replace a smashed Galaxy S3, through a pair of Shure SE535s with custom eartips it certainly doesn't sound any worse. Kind of a leap of faith as I had no clue about the sound quality either but I'm not disappointed.

Can you hear hiss on soft parts or when listening to music you hit pause (till the amp shut down)?

Not at all. My IEMs are fairly sensitive, but AFAIK they're 32 ohm so there are more sensitive ones out there. The only thing I can hear is a tiny bit of coil whine when it's charging but I have to be concentrating on finding it to be hearing it.
Apparently they upped the voltage on the headphone jack and holy crap you can tell. The bass has some serious definition to it - with the Beats Audio off that is .

Would you be able to give a SQ breakdown with a pair of full-size headphones?
I'll be receiving mine sometime in the next few days & will be running a pair of Klipsch X10 & Flac with the HOX+ & I'm hoping the SQ is going to be better than the HOX was, cause that was flat & lifeless.
I'll let you know my findings....
It has to be pointed out that I was previously testing with electronic and more "treble" based music, the phones sound quality kind of drops quite a bit with any sort of rock music, which is quite disappointing. I remedied it with a Fiio E6.

Hey guys
I am getting a deal on rezound. The one with iBeats included is like $30-$35 more than the one without.
I am not able to decide if I should go with the one with the iBeats or the one without. Any idea?
With ibeats definitely, best headphones I've ever had

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.

if you are not getting them for free i wouldn't pay more for them. The build quality is trash im on my 3rd pair from HTC.
as shrike said you can get a better pair for the same price. Not worth paying more for something that was just added as a gimmick IMO
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.

I don't mind bass heavy buds at all, but you can get that without the loss of definition you get with Beats.

They're the best ear buds I've ever had, but I've only owned those old ghetto iPod ones and some Skullcandy ones (smokin', FMJ and titan). The only sign of wear is some chipping of the paint.

I didn't see a earphones thread so I wanted to start the topic. In my opinion LG did great with the 1 watt back speaker but kinda dropped the ball with the earphone Jack. I feel like it could be louder or maybe it's the earphones I'm using. I'm using the monster DNA ear buds and I just wanted to see what other user recommend for this sweet device.

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.
Att version didn't come with any. I may have to commit a cardinal sin. Thinking about the Apple earpods. Smh sorry

I have a crazy-ass idea. Instead of getting an amazing device and using the terrible stock headphones, get GOOD ones.
That's the problem. They didn't come with any at all so I'm looking for a low priced pair to use. My next big electro purchase will be that moto 360 so I'm tying to save some coin u kno

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.
Ok thanks for your help.

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.
