I found the best wired headset

This topic was not opend to praise Apple for its products but to let you know that i've tried several products in order to replace the original HTC HD2 headset (wich is crap by the way) and Apple is the way to go.
I have tried to replace the earbuds on the original headset like shown in the tutotial in the wiki section, I have tried different headphones from Sony Ericsson, Phillips etc.
This morning I tried the Iphone 3G headset... the sound is unbelivable... and on top of that you have the mic and the play/pause/answer/hangup... and with headset button app you can do even forward/back/volume etc.
That's it! Just wanted to let you know

bull****, i have both htc and apple's headphones they both crap but the best headphone i have ever tried is the v moda2.......

the beauty is in the eye of the beholder...

ya may be ,but i thought we are talking about sound quality here.lol...anyway i like my v moda2 but i cant control music from that.do you know any best and cheap bluetooth connector so i can combine my headphones with it to work on hd2.

Sorry to break it to you but you haven't found the best wired headset.
If I ever need to buy a headset with remote control it will be the Etymotic HF2... I doubt you can get anything better sounding that has a remote control. http://www.etymotic.com/ephp/hf2.aspx

they may be better but they are more than 6 times the price of an iphone 3G headset... and do you know if the remote works with the HD2?

yes these are good but check it out i am using these vibeii and the only problum i am facing(as i mentioned before)is the track backword/forward button is not compatilble with my hd2.however i can still use the mike and play/pause button and one more thing sound is incedible for that much value.that is why i am looking for some sort of bluetooth reciver extention so i can use controllers.

best is hd2's headset modded with in-ears
DN41

i modified it with earbuds from a pair of ipod shuffle headphones (that sounded great on the ipod) but the result is not that good on the HD2
anyway... from what i've seen Etymotic HF2 looks promising...

Best headphones are closed ones ( I prefer Sennheiser , I've got HD515 model)
In-ear : same , Sennheiser , (cx and mx series).

I don't really use a headset but just for listening to music daily, I use the Zune Premium headphones, you can get them pretty cheap on Amazon now and the sound is excellent.

They've no controls but sound quality of the Klipsch Image S4 are brilliant

I have has several set of shures, and now i am the using se210, on both my HD2 and my Zune hd 32gb, they are phenominal.Pricey but worth every cent

Well I think for music my westone UM3X or ATH-CK100 blow all of them out of the water - especially as I have custom sleeves for them......HOWEVER, they don't have a remote control, and are bloody expensive
So kudos to the op for finding a cheap earbud that sounds good enough for the HD2 (as tbh it is a pretty crappy music player if you use high end IEMs), with a FULLY working remote.

Sennheiser for theh win! I had bose inears 125 euros,they did sound like ****,now i have sennheisers cx300 version 2 for 35 euros and sounds much better. @home i use the sennheiser hd 515,also great ghehe. I put these 2 in a jabra bt 3030,best wireless remote ever

Best iv tried it Sony XB (Xtra Bass) Series.. Its just Boom Boom

What headphones are you using?

I'm just curious what headphones you guys are using for your XT720. Are you using the one's that came in-box or are you using something else? (and if so, what?)

I'm using stock. With me, stock is enough.
My friend can't use my Moto headphone on his Sony X8, so i think we can't use Sony headphone too.

Panasonic RP DJ120... work great =)

Bose in-ears and love them. This is my 3rd pair in 5 years. I listen everyday at work or on the way home. Only had to pay once b/c the warrantee is outstanding.

Motorola s305 Bluetooth works great for music and calls also play pause stop skip answer and volume buttons on headphones very handy!!

im usin beats by dre solo hd..it work perfect on xt720..i've tried on xperia didn't..it's just the remote is working only for musics and calls..it cant control the volume

I´m using the Sennheiser CX-300 great in ears for about 40€! their sucsessor the CX-300 II (precision) is also very recommendable

Sony MDR-ZX100 Headset.
http://cdn.techiser.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/Sony-MDR-ZX100-White.png
15€ totally worth it!
Usually I listen to internet radio which streams at 128-192kbps so more expensive headset will be total waste of money!

the stock one
and nofear embedded in a jacket (hence and the playalka )

The stock headphones work very well compared to I had on my Motorola ZN5

Galaxy S headphones

I love the sound of the standard galaxy s headphones with voodoo, just wondering, can anyone recommend some really awesome
In ear headphones that don't cost a fortune, THX dudes

I like to use Sennheiser CX271, incredible sound for the price in my opinion.
Best of luck

I am using Sony MW600. Great sound, A2DP, bulit in FM. Sadly, no title or caller-name streaming on display.

And no Voodoo sound
I use Jays a-Jays One, love them! Epic bass and clear sound.

Any earphones that are plastic, and don't have the rubber inserts? I'm using my old iphone earphones... decent, but I'd love something with oomph!

I've bought the Sennheiser CX300II a couple of month ago for about 40 € in a shop (If you buy them online i think you get them much cheaper). The sound in combination with voodoo is just awesome even without bass boost enabled.

You can use the earphones via cable, without the BT-part.

Gone for the Sennheiser CX300II, got them for £13 online, great reviews, thanks everyone

I guess all earphones/headphones having a 3.5mm jack, WITHOUT A MIC, are fully compatible with Defy/Defy+.

Philips SHH-7810 works absolutely great, Sound is awesome(full bass),fits perfectly,and the mic too works..

I changed the same in OP, i guess all the headphones without Mic or buttons would work perfectly well.. but the real deal is in choosing Headset i.e. which come with Mic and extra buttons..

I m using SE mw600... nice clear bass, amazing sound quality

I tested a Soundmagic MP21, and it DOES NOT work. The output sound is messed up.

i am using meelec m9p... works great...

Does anyone tried beats by Dre solo on defy??
Sent from my MB525 using xda premium

HTC RC-E160 worked but the Skip track buttons are not recognized All three buttons act as one single button i.e. just play and pause.. Sound quality is average i mean Default Moto produces better sound than RC-E160.

I just use Koss Porta Pros. They're the best headphones out there (unless you need some serious fancy ****) and I use the mic on the phone

!JBL Tempo works well .. Good sound quality as well . Have used Sennheiser CX180 too which was nice too

JVC HA-FX1X. Good performance, sound intermediate.Cheaps.

I'm using MEElectronics CC-51P, and works perfectly with Defy, mic works very well and the sound is awesome.

Logitech Ultimate Ears 400vm - sounds and works well with Defy. Mic works, answer button works. Can start and stop music with answer button and also skip track via long press
Bose MIE2i - not detected as a headset, headphone funtionality only

best headphones you can ever think of .. perfect design great comfort and the bass ohh.. this monster beats many of them personally tested and working very well with defy
and it is so cheap 365/- its like 8 -9 $ ..and the sound quality is awsome
a must buy ..

Audio Quality

Is the LG O4X audio quality & volume through headphones really that bad? I've read GSMarena's review as they've now posted the audio part of the review. They said it possibly one of the worst devices they've tested
This will be a deal breaker for me. :-( what do you guys think?
Any previous GSII ownes in here that can provide input on personal opinions between the quality of the two?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app

Audio quality seems fine to me. GSMArena suspected they had a faulty unit, and said they would try another but I have yet to see an update to the review to reflect this.

I did see that but thought what is the chance of them receiving a faulty unit. Im currently using a Galaxy S II, and the audio quality via music player suits me. I reappy want the 4X as its a sexy beast, just wouldn't be able to cope with crap music quality.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app

The sound quality is pretty good on the 4x. I upgraded after breaking my milestone and I was also iffy on buying the 4x because of the gsm review... when I tested it out, it sorta felt like my entire phone became a speaker but it instantly became muffled when I covered the grill. Black magic is at work here lol

Im on about through the headphones lol
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app

Oudio output is fine for me too, though not as good as the One X, a little louder would not be a bad thing, but overall as good as other smartphones in the segment.

It is, once again, fine. Satisfactory. I don't like in-ear headsets so I just use the ones that came with my milestone 2 years ago >_> I did try the headphones that were in the box though, they unlock some eq presets along with an option to manually tweak the levels. But plugging in any headphones will unlock that.

...as good as the other six smartphones I use, honestly. I always check music quality through my $500 akg closed headphones with quite a range of high quality files and the 4x sounds really fine, absolutely no problem here.

Just bought 4X to replace my 3.5" iPhone 4S, everything is fine except the sound quality which I must say is terrible compared with iPhone especially when using the built in speaker Maybe it's because the speaker is at the back of the phone

What if you set the O4X on its front so that the speaker grill is facing upwards? Will it be not as terrible? Is it really that bad compared to iPhone 4S?

Only the sound is louder, quality won't improve no matter where you face the speaker. Apart from Moto's Raxx, iphone's sound quality is excelent (from my own experiece).
I downloaded Poweramp as recmmended by local forum here to my 4X and the sound quality improves a little bit.

ok the sound of the built-in speaker is poor, but with headphones, for me, the sound is great. I don't think it's very exciting listen music with the speacker ......

Use the right headphones (i got a HTC set) and download the POWERAMP app...
Gives what u need

hi guys, what about the call quality? is it loud n clear on speakers?

It's okay. I went through a few phone calls and I didn't experience any problems and have no complaints.
Although... has anyone else noticed that the voice for navigation is kinda quiet? I turned it up to max and drove a few suburbs over but I felt like it was a bit too gentle for a car environment.

Music over bluetooth, Motorola Motorokr s305 stereo headphone & headset works good. But dolby mobile setting stutters (to bad, cause I liked the sound). I now use the headphone amplifier setting. Also good, but not as loud as Dolby mobile.

Did anybody try the headphone out with high-end multidriver iems (Like Shure SE535, Phonak PF232 or Westone UM3x...)?
I'm an iPhone 4S user and the headphone out is almost perfect when listen thru my UM3x. Hence i was wondering if the 4X would be close in terms of noise floor, resolution and frequency response.
Thanks in advance

Im using Trple-fi 10, the sounds is good and even better than iPod touch which I used before.
btw, the app Im using is Poweramp and the music format is ALAC.

If the TF10 sounds good and you have your treble then output impedance of the LG must be quite low which is a great thing.
Could you fill me in about the noise floor (Noise that you can hear when you pause the music till the amp section shuts off).
Thanks a lot

Audio quality problem
I sometimes hear below average audio quality and I have to re-insert my head phone to get normal audio. Do any body facing this problem
