Skullcandys are known to be bass heavy, but the bass is really pretty good.
Don't go for cheap Sony in-ears, they sound horrible. Mid-range Sony on the other hand is recommended. :good:

[Q] Best Earphones(In Ear) for Bass + Sound Quality

Hey XDA, I have reading through all the posts and cant seem to find a solid answer on this. Im looking for an in-ear earphones that provide amazing bass, without forgetting the sound quality. I like the original earphones that come with the samsung note 2 , they are pretty good and with some mods the bass that gets pushed out of them are actually pretty impressive. Problem is they arent durable at all, one of the earbuds always dies and only one works after a month or so. So as a wrap up I need :
*Amazing Bass as well as sound quality
*Durable
*Less then $140
Thanks !

Here
i dont know whether u believe it r not.but these are the best earphones par better than samsung original..im using them from almost 8 months.getting better and beter.price is much lower than highrated dumb headphones
link:http://www.tekfusiontechnologies.com/twinwoofers-m-in-ear-headphones/

I would suggest posting this question in Accessories Section of XDA in Jeremy's Headphone/Earphone guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2131021
You can also look through my headphone reviews: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2192333, though my focus is on balanced audiophile sound rather than basshead sound.
The problem with exaggerated bass is that it overpowers mids and treble, and muddies the song. Typically you want to look for something that has V-shaped sound (boost in mid-bass and treble and recessed mids). If you look in my review list, you will get that from Meelec M-Duo and Sennheiser CX895 (very high quality for bass with right set of eartips). But one that I would also recommend, so don't have it myself is Shure SE-215 - it goes for about $99 (either on Amazon or Saltwater) and has removable cables to extend longevity of headphones. My personal fav which I used everyday is Westone W40 but it's $500 quad-driver with tamed bass, not a basshead. There are also a few budget options I'm trying to get review samples of, Xiaomi Pistons 2 (about $30) and Astrotec AX35 (dual driver with dynamic driver for bass and armature driver for mids/treble).

I'd recommend the Klipsh Image x10's. You can get em off amazon for $136.98 right now. Very crisp with surprisingly good bass. It'll be better than most other things out there.
If you can go another hundred bucks, you can get a pair of Sennheiser IE80s from Amazon.De (no import tax, ships to the US in about a week). They are, by far, the BEST bass you can get in an IEM with one of the largest soundstages of any pair of cans. They're worth the upgrade if you use IEMs a lot.
EDIT: Just stay away from Beats by Dre. Seriously. They're branded crap made by Monster. They have bass because they overload the lows so much it distorts everything else and the drivers arent quality so overtime the bass will get muddled and sound like crap. The X10s or a pair of Shures will sound exponentially better and are made better by people who know how to make and design headphones. You can get a beats plugin or flash a beats mod to get everything that would make any headphone sound just as crappy as a pair of $150 dres.

x10 has a quality bass, not the "basshead" quantity he is looking for Klipsch is definitely a great choice, but they are more in an audiophile category rather than "fun" category, and also their quality went down (just like UE and others).
Regarding Beats, yes, stay away from them. I wouldn't blame Monster as much since they were under a contract to manufacture these headphones rather than design them. If anybody to blame it's Dr Dre Once their contract expired in 2012 and Beats went on to manufacture their own stuff, Monster is actually pumping some quality products. I just posted review of their DNA Pro over-ear headphones (in my sig link of reviews), and the sound was top notch. I'm waiting now to receive Monster iSport Victory to check out how their new in-ears sound.

Skull Candy FJM. fits the bill, less than 24 dollars. Equalize with Viper4Android, done deal.

Monoprice 8320 "enhanced bass" or ones in the same family. It's less than $10 and they often score higher than much more expensive earphones in reviews.
Of course, with a budget of $140, you can get something better, but if the Monoprice suit you fine, well, you saved $130.

Thanks for all the suggestions everyone , I ended up getting the Meelec M-Duo and these are some solid earphones, modded some of the audio on the note 2 and its gives great bass that shakes my ears and I can still hear the song clearly, solid purchase! Thanks vectron for the tip !

Meelec makes solid products, they got top support, and quite a reputation even from audiophiles on head-fi. For $66 M-Duo is a great value.

I would recommend Audio Technica CKS77 great bass and clarity.

I´m not an audiophile and I´ve been using the bundled earphones since day one.
I think that the Note2 sound quality with these earphones is really good (the rom I use also has a lot of sound tweaks).
Do you think that the sound quality will notoriously improve using other (better) in-ear headphones? (they must be in-ear).

The sound will improve exponentially!!!!!!
Btw, you guys have to check out these $25 in-ear headphones, I just reviewed here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2671888 - you definitely get a pumping bass, decent clear sound, and full Android control including volume!!! I still can't get over it. After I received it a few days ago.

thanks for this link, I hv red through it and saw their testimonies. I believe I hv found a very good earpiece which I have been looking for.

It's peoples personal preferences on how the headphones sounds, i'm using 3 headphones, sony xba 3, ex600 and ex800st, all considered as good headphones, the xba 3 being a headphone on the moves with reasonable quality in both sound and built.

Any word on great in ear earphones that also include a mic + working android controls?
Cheers!

I already posted above the link to my review: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2671888 - full android controls including vol +/-. And it got bass!!!!!

Klipsch x10 is one of ny favorite IEMs that I've tried. It's comfortable, sound great, and have good and tight bass without compromising the details of the rest of the music.

Though it's OVER THE EAR but I would recommend SENNHEISER HD 202. GREAT BASS

Which earphones are compatible for Moto G 2014?

Hello,
My Moto G 2014 isn't detecting my Xiaomi Piston 2.0 earphones, but the ones Motorola packed with the phone works [They aren't really great though]. Is there any way I could make my Piston 2.0 earphones work with my phone or what's the best, compatible earphones for Moto G 2014?
Thanks! :good::good:

Does Sennheiser cx215 sound great? Would you recommend 'em?

Yes, I wholeheartedly recommend them.
A tad bit heavy on wallet, for sure.
But if sound quality is a must, you should definetly check it out
EDIT; If you can stretch out your budget a bit more, be sure to check sennheiser cx300 II out too

Can't really help you man. Someone in the piston xda forums advised me this converter. I haven't bought it because as you said in the pvt message, chinese suppliers take a looonggg time to dispatch their products. Thus no point. I can't find any converter here in India too. I don't think anyone here sells it.
Anyways let me know if you find something. I'll appreciate it.

Samsung ear buds work fine.. The button control doesn't work though!

TRy the Sony MH 750 . Mic and answer button works on my 1 gen Moto . Sound quality is not bad and easy on pocket . Make sure you get the original one and not the fake .

Thank you for answering. I've bought a Sennheiser earphones just now! :good::good:

Philips SHE3595 are working too.
Sent from Motorola Moto G (2nd Gen./XT1068/dual-sim)

I recommend Snab Overtone EP-81 M. Controls and mic works, metal body, thick cord and great powerful sound. Deep fully controlled bass, clear treble, mids slightly withdrawn, but still clear. The sound is addictive. I can not imagine ANY other headphones.
But... this is polish product.

Sony MH 750 are working fine, mic, one button.

Are there any 3 buttons headphones + mic compatible? Xiaomi Pistons 2 works but no vol+vol- buttons
Edit: never mind motorola said me thru chat that just one-button remote is supported...

my wife just got these http://www.amazon.com/audio-technica-smartphone-ATH-S100iS-BGR-Black-Green/dp/B00FFKJ3GM for her moto g 2014, one button ops with volume slider.
short press activates the music app, long press activates voice dialling

2 combos!
I suggest you the LG G2 headset with volume command and mic (or Samsung's S5 headphones), but if you have a MOTO 360 you can use Apple's In-ear headphones + play music controls on the wearable! These headsets are wired. You can find on amazon or other places Bluetooth headsets too!
Right now I'm using an Alpatronix HX110 + wearable controls. But in the end you have to decide your combo according to your tastes and your budget!

One plus just dropped a teaser for an announcement on the 25th. Seems to me it's new headphones. Possibly some usb c headphones

I use Xiaomi's Mi Piston 3..
I am an audiophile and i love the combo..!

I think earplugs aren't proper headsets.
I use Sony BT headset, and do work great. But Android BT lacks support for In-Band ringtones so ringtones are awful in every BT headsets.

Don't make fun of random people just because they don't have much equipment.

I agree with the dude on top. Xiaomi pistons. You can't go wrong with the 2.1 pistons, piston 3 or the Xiaomi hybrid. At one point or another I've heard them all and the Xiaomi's are good.
For convenience of mic and controls I use the Xiaomi hybrid.
For musical pleasure I use the fiio ex1 or the havi b3 pro 1.

I tried Piston 3, sounded really cheap. I guess you haven't really heard any good ear/headphones, so you don't really know whats good and what's not.
