Not to sound like an advertisement, but they have great sound quality and pretty good battery life as well. I love them.
If you need some ear buds, tell me a price range and I can help you out. I've been through a lot of models.
(edit) For about 100 US, you can get triple driver earbuds from 1More. (https://www.amazon.com/1MORE-Headphones-Earphones-Compatible-Microphone/dp/B01KB9K9Z0/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1511462638&sr=8-3&keywords=1more%2Btriple%2Bdriver&th=1) I don't recommend the quad driver version... the extra money you pay does not translate into better quality sound. In fact, most people think they sound worse. With the earbuds you get a lot of rubber and foam fittings, so you can pick your fit. I prefer flat response sound, whether over the ear or in an earbud. If you're looking for good sound on the cheap in an over the ear headphone, Skull Candy Hesh 2 Wireless (can also use them wired,) are excellent for the money. They're a bit open, so others can hear loud music if you've got them up enough. Both of these products are also good for webex, Skype, etc., and I use them constantly for that.
If you are wanting to spend a lot more money, I would recommend one of the Shure earbuds, triple driver or higher. But those will cost you 300 and on up. I've heard the Miles Davis earbuds and I heard things that I've never heard before out of old tracks.
That being said, I'm hearing things I have never heard before in my 1More triple drivers as well.
Final point - I prefer noise isolation instead of noise cancelling. First, the noise isolation builds are a little cheaper, and noise isolation devices tend to be better at blocking out unexpected sound. If you're on an airplane, noise cancellation is great. But, if you want to ignore the fire drill, noise isolation is better.
Bose Quiet Comfort earbuds are quite good, but I like the sound profile of my current earbuds more. Jaybird makes good equipment as well, especially if you're looking to get wireless earbuds. You just won't get a dual or triple driver earbud that way. Still, the sound is good from both Bose and Jaybird (X and X2.)
I don't like Beats products because they're so bass-heavy. I can adjust my phone or laptop to equalize for more bass if I want it, and my earbuds really have a nice boom to them. But I don't need that on every track. Mozart's Salzburg Symphonies weren't meant to make people twerk.

It’s cool to listen to music in nature, but it’s not cool for other people who want to listen to things like birds chirping or the breeze blowing. Above I linked to a bunch of Bluetooth headphones and earbuds if having a cord is the issue.
Yes, I am only posting this because you were posted on SubredditDrama and I want karma.

Sorry I can't find the exact ones but I use these bluetooth headphones I found on Amazon that I use for the gym. It has magnets on the sides also. They're pretty good for how cheap they are. She should give them a try! https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06ZYX6Y1T/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_kXcECbCPA6VKG
Empfehle bei In-Ear ein wenig mehr auszugeben. Erstens gehen die Kopfhörer nicht dauernd kaputt und zweitens hast du einen deutlich besseren Klang. Nicht nur du frisst die Teile, auch ich habe das immer getan - bis ich mir gute gekauft habe. Auf Dauer sparst du dir damit Geld.
Hier meine zwei Empfehlungen:
Shure SE215
RHA MA750
The best noise-isolating headphones in the world are Etymotic Research MC5's (in-ear-canal headphones, $60).
They don't have fancy circuitry. Etymotic is a company founded by audiologists — They made high end earplugs, and still do. These headphones are absurdly good earplugs, with headphones that pipe audio through the center.
They come with 4 or 5 different kinds of tips. I use the 3-flange tips, which work great, but aren't the most comfortable. If you wet them first, it helps a lot.
If you're willing to pay more ($100 extra), you can go to an audiologist, who will take a mold of your ear, and then send it to Etymotic, who will give you custom-molded ear tips, through their Custom-Fit program.
It's eerie how isolated you feel from the world around you, especially with music playing. I first realized how intense the effect was when I realized I perceived doors opening and closing not from sound, but from feeling the air pressure against my body.
Thanks for all the replies!! My OCD took over, and I compiled a list of every single pair mentioned by someone who uses them to sleep in. In this thread and the one I posted on r/AudioEngineering Check 'em out.
Acoustic Sheep SleepPhones - $40 for standard, $100 for wireless.
Pillow Sonic Pillow Speaker - $15
BedPhones - $54
Koss SparkPlug - $16
Senn HD280 - $100
PSC Softies Headphone Cover - $18
Beyer 770 - $230
Beyer 990 - $265
Bose QC15 - $270
Bose QC20 - $300
Shure SE215-K - $97
Shure SE315-K - $200
Shure SE535 - $440
Aurisonics Rockets - $100ish
Vsonic GR07BE - $130
Klipsch S4 - $120
HIFI Man RE-400 - $100
RHA MA750 - $120
sony 7506 - $85
Philips SHE3590GY/28 - $10
Koss KSC75 - $15
Ear Hero - $150
Sensaphonics 2max - $850
Sounds like the Klipsch S4 would be good on the less expensive end of your range, and the HiFiMan RE-400 would be good on the upper end of your range. I also think highly of the Etymotic MC5, MC3, or HF5. Then there's the trusty Shure SE215, but I don't think it'd go as well as some of the others according to your music taste.
Of all of those in your price range, I'd recommend the RE-400s or HF5s. Both are great IEMs. The RE-400 is highly recommended around this subreddit.
If you're willing to stretch your budget, there are also the Rock-it R-50s, which have great mids and highs, which I recommend for rock/metal/indie/classical.
Android takes a little getting used to but you'll see that you can do sooo much more out of the box.
Get familiar with the 2nd screen as it's a big help. It takes a bit of time to get used to it... I sometime forget it's there and still unlock to skip songs and whatnot. You can set different apps for shortcut, a set of setting, music controls, etc. If you're sticking with LG's home screen then go settings>home screen>select home screen and choose Home & app drawer to have the way Android was meant to be used XD. The factory style gives more of an iOS feel with all apps on the home screen which to me is a lot of clutter. I have Nova paid (aka prime) and haven't switched to it yet...
Headphones... get a good pair to take advantage of the HiFi DAC. Good pair doesn't mean high impedance or pricey. I use Meze 12 Classics and they sound so freaking good with this phone! They're also sexy af imo lol They'll set you back $59 which to me is a good price point for everyday use IMEs. Another that is being recommended a lot are the 1More Triple Driver IMEs. These set you back $89. The HiFi DAC only works with wired headphones...in case you didn't know.
Another thing to consider is either getting LG's battery pack and cradle combo or a battery pack. I have Anker's 10000mah QC 3 battery pack and it gives me around 3 charges on my V20. Prefer this to be taking off the case, cover, swapping batteries and putting everything back together -___-
That brings us to cases... get one ASAP if you haven't already. There's a lot of choices out there. I have the Spigen Tough Armor with kickstand and it's been great. Sleek and the kickstand is pretty functional with my only gripe with it being plastic....Spigen, Rinke and Urban Armour are three of the most recommended cases. Check reviews and pick the one that best suites your needs. Haven't gotten a screen protector as of yet... there hasn't been one that covers the whole screen or wraps around the edges with the V20 having a slight curved screen.
Another thing I always do is settings>fingerprint and security>unknown sources to On. This will let you install apps out of the play store.
Also, Reddit is a great community to get good and quick answers.
FYI - Links provided above for the things I recommended on Amazon.
Mpow Flame Bluetooth Headphones Waterproof IPX7, Wireless Earbuds Sport, Richer Bass HiFi Stereo in-Ear Earphones w/Mic, Case, 7-9 Hrs Playback Noise Cancelling Headsets (Comfy & Fast Pairing) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0753GRNQZ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_OVT1CbKJSR683
I've been using my Jaybird x3 for a little over a year now and love them. I've never had a problem with them slipping or falling out. They have nice in-ear components to get a solid grip, and you can adjust the band length to keep things tight and prevent swinging (this part is a pain to do, but worth it).
I've also heard good things about trekz, and have wanted to try them out.
$20 my dude. these last me up to 10 hours.
Edit: just saw your other comment, disregard me.
I have these for music
I have these for track days
In reality the etymotic motorcycle plugs are good, but the ones that cost $1 from the hardware store are just as good. The headphones are the best I've found for riding though. I abuse them too...I use them snowboarding, snowmobiling, and on airplanes.
Edit* They are not the most comfortable for all, but work for me. Etymotic used to make the ER6i which were incredible because they were much smaller, but they stopped making them and my old pair finally fell apart from hard use.
I agree and I don't even go as fancy as you with my earphones. I have this $90 pair of wired earphones and they sound fantastic to me, yet they're cheap enough that I won't be too sad if I lose or break them. I tried this $150 pair of Bose wireless buds, some of the more expensive widely available wireless ones; and I ended up returning them because sound quality was noticeably worse than my 1mores, the fit was crap, and the mic was so poor-quality as to be absolutely useless.
$39.95
$36.97 I own these, and they are pretty great.
$25.99

It really isn't that expensive unless you only look at Sennheiser, AirPods, and Beats.

They're not really worth it any more. There are so many great sounding BT sets that are much cheaper and offer similar functionality.
I recently bought these for $22 and am amazed at the sound quality:

If they're company sponsored or you have the funds, check out the Sony WH1000XM2. It's an atrocious name, but the best noise-cancelling headphones in the market, not to mention it absolutely wipes the floor with the Bose QC35s for sound quality.
If you're more into the ease of pairing between multiple devices (and are allowed to use your personal iCloud credentials on a work machine) check out the Beats Studio Wireless 3 for easy pairing and switching between devices.
Other than that there really isn't anything comparable in the noise cancelling department. However, if you're prefer having closed-back headphones, definitely look at the ATH-M50x and the Beyerdynamics 770DT Pros. They're both excellent headphones with amazing sound quality, definitely the best bang for buck.
Not anymore.

Sony has been giving them a run for their money recently, and this newest headset is the best out there at the moment. Equal or better ANC according to all the reviews, and much better sound.
For those also wondering, I couldn't find the actual release date on any article. However the asin is up on Amazon and says it will be released on September 16th: Sony M2 Premium Noise Cancelling Wireless Headphones - Black (WH1000XM2/B) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B074KDJVS2/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_f8dQzbWA7XPQF
Sennheiser PMX 680. I've run several ultras with them and they are comfortable for the long haul. They never slip around and the extra long cord isn't too bad either. The only complaint I would have is that if its raining water tends to get trapped between the headphone and your ear but thats probably the case for all in-ear style phones.

A lot of people recommend Yurbuds. You sort of twist the rubbery part into your ear and its supposed to 'lock' in place, but they never really worked for me.
I have been using these Bose earbuds for over a year now and love them. A little expensive, but they are comfortable and the little rubber fin wedges into the curve of your ear and really holds them in place. I've actually dropped my iPod with them in my ear and they a) stopped my iPod from smashing into the floor and b) didn't move an inch from where they were. Plus, the sound is really great for earbuds.
Depends on the use to be honest with you.
Crystal clear quality with a very flat response? (Very suitable for audiophiles who do studio work and/or don't need an overwhelming bass response) : Sennheiser HD280s
Great quality for over the ear headphones and that have amazing bass response (Perfectly suitable for casual listeners that like a bass heavy response but still has a great amount of clarity) : SOL Republic Tracks
Need something for athletic activities that stay in the ear very well? I use these for just about anything from running, biking, weight lifting, or just walking to class : Bose IE-2

From a technical standpoint, they are all exceptional IEM's. You just need to do reading on head-fi to determine which sound signature you want.
Sorry for the dust :)
Starting from the top left.
OnePlus Dash Charger (Normally I would be carrying a battery pack but since the fast charging on the OP is extremely fast there's no need, it normally get's me through the entire day with no charge)
KZ ATE Wrap around earphones Very cheap and sounds amazing
Moto 360 Gen 1 Great watch, if I'm not wearing I opt for a lighter smaller Casio
Sony X Type Battery, Can't say much more. I get about 120 photos out of it.
SanDisk Extreme 32gb, Very fast SD card, reliable, I stand by SanDisk, products are amazing.
OnePlus 3 Great phone with flagship specs, had to import it through a third party since they don't sell it in Australia
Surface 3 Get's the job done, has more port selection than the new MacBook in half the size so can't complain. Keyboard case is a bit expensive but it becomes a great portable laptop/ tablet.
Pilot G2 and Pilot Progrex , Great pen and mechanical pencil
RX100IV Amazing camera, it's a bit expensive but the photos it produces can rival DSLRs. It's one of the best camers I have owned and I've used a few, sensor is massive and it's very fast, it's also durable and packed with features (NFC, Control ring, EVF, Rotatable Screen, Flexible flash and more). Worth it.
Card tool, has philipps, bottle cap opener, saw, ruler, knife built in and is very portable as it fits into my wallet like the cards. Can be found for <$5 (Got this one for $1!) Great purchase just to stick into your wallet.
Bank cards and public transport card
A durable USB, HP branded iirc but the logos have been shaved off, 64gb.
SanDisk Ultra Fit 32gb, Tiny USB that is very fast, I normally leave it in the port of the Surface as if I leave it around I lose it lol, already lost one...
Two different types.
kz ate at less than 13. these were top 10 best ear buds of 2015/2016. HiFi audio subs love them
brainwavz Delta are fantastic, although a bit more money. I'd say they're both really comparable.
here's a thread of audio freaks talking about the Delta's and calling them one of the best you can get for the price, and spending more money is only nitpicky marginal better results
Keep in mind the Delta's and KZ ate's have the premium foam ear buds. These foam buds are worth 10-30 alone. That legit conform to your ear canal. These aren't cheap ass squishy plastic bullshit that you find in 200 dollar ear buds. These foam pads are like memory foam. And literally conform to your canal.
Probably one of the best money you could buy, at 9 dollars,these Panasonic's
No diss to the jaybirds(which are decent, especially good choice for BT since the options are slim still), or perhaps whatever Google is planning on using...but these 3 buds trump something like beats or the airpods or the BS LG pairs with it's super HiFi quad dac phones (ironic to inckude sub par earbuds with your phones, heh). When you're comparing 15-30 vs 140-250 ear buds, and the difference is nearly non existent, or leaning with the cheaper option you realize how hard you bend over for these companies. Oh yeah, also, the first 2 buds have mic support/volume control, and the cords don't tangle or make horrible noise in your ear when you move.

These are amazing for the price, you can get them cheaper without the built in mic but I use them for work while driving a loud truck so the mic is great.
Awww, you have me looking at earphones again. :)
Like the look of these: Mee M6 Pro
I've used both of these
$7.50 Wired - These have lasted me for a year, and are still kicking. They're really cheap but do the job well.
$18.99 Wireless - Really great value for the price. Stay in ear, block sound rather well, decent controls.
I have been using Airpods for about a year now. I love them. Bought some of these for my wife though and she loves them. They sound pretty good for being so cheap as well.

I was looking for a wireless and noice cancelling headphones not so long ago and after reading many, MANY reviews it came down to Boss vs Sony. Was about to purchase the Sony because of of the reasons you've mentioned until I heard of the "cracking issue" and how Sony is a bit reluctant with the guarantee when it happen, at least from what I've read online. I ended up buying a cheaper wireless headphones with NC that fitted my needs with negligent quality difference for me.
I have Bluetooth headphones (Soundpeats q30, great value for $) with just the cord that connects them two behind the neck. There’s a little bit of give to it so I wrap twice around my ponytail and secure with a tiny hair clip. Not having the control’s heavy bounce on just the one side is much better.

For high quality stuff, these are the newest craze in the chi-fi scene. I haven't used them myself (I can't use IEMs, I have tiny baby ear canals), but everything I hear about them has been extremely positive. Custom tips, replaceable cable, high quality sound reproduction, etc.
Jaybirds. I use the X2, but I think the newest version is the X3. I've had them for over a year and absolutely love them. They stay in my ears really well. I've used them for pole dance where I'm spinning and flipping upside down with no issues. Plus the range is really long.
Edit: link to amazon
There's plenty. TaoTronics cost around $30 and have APT-X, AYL Qy8 cost $26 and also have APT-X. More higher end, with more battery life is the MEE Audio X7 Plus at $80, also with APT-X.
There's also the Sony SBH80 and Jaybird's X2's that come down in price usually around the $50-$70 range.
You should actually read reviews/use them before saying things.
This is exactly how I got the confidence to start lifting as a woman.
Need some cheap Bluetooth headphones with great battery life? I highly recommend [these bad boys] (https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B06ZYX6Y1T/ref=mp_s_a_1_2?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1521388811&amp;sr=8-2-spons&amp;pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65&amp;keywords=Taotronics+bluetooth&amp;psc=1)
not to bash bose (they're unparalleled in comfort), but my personal preference are sony's mx1000 NC headphones. slightly less comfortable, but small features to turn NC off/on or to pick-up on ambient noise. imo, they also sport a fuller sound, but to each their own.
w/ respect to messenger bags, it's sorta dependent on what you carry. For undergrad, I used a north face recon and absolutely loved it. starting med school, I only carried a laptop, iPad, headphones, water bottle, and other knick knacks like glasses or pens; in essence, my EDC was much lighter, hence enabling a messenger bag (if I were still an undergrad, no way would a messenger work). I also started commuting to school via bus, so having on-the-fly access to my wallet and keys was easier to manage w/ a messenger bag than a backpack.
I too was leaning towards a messenger for aesthetic reasons (fit in better in the hospital, looks better in professional dress), but so many residents and other med students use backpacks in both scenarios that the aesthetic benefits aren't all that convincing.
In short, messengers are certainly doable if you're not hauling textbooks but your choice of messengers over backpacks is purely subjective; if you want it, get it and if not, a backpack will do just fine.
lastly, if you're looking for suggestions, my mission workshop bag has served me EXTREMELY well and they're a very trusted company w/ amazing customer service. 10/10 would recommend, as they manage heavier loads much better than the typical satchel/shoulder bag.

Actually anything but those. I'm a big fan of my cheap ones off of Amazon. They're called Soundpeats and they're just as good as the really expensive ones. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B074THH5Q2?ref=yo_pop_ma_swf
I've run near 2500 miles using $20 Mpows. Cheap enough that I've worn them in the rain several times too.

I’m actually pretty picky about my headphones I use for most things and am not afraid to spend some cash to get good ones. However for running I got a pair of these off Amazon for $20 :
Mpow Flame Bluetooth Headphones Sport IPX7 Waterproof Wireless Sport Earbuds, Richer Bass HiFi Stereo In-Ear Earphones, 7-9 Hrs Playback, Running Headphones W/CVC6.0 Noise Cancelling Mic, Red https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0753GRNQZ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_jAu4DbSN6APQ3
Sound is not bad but nothing to write home about (just fine for running). The Bluetooth connection has always been solid and no problems with sweat or water. I love not having to worry about expensive headphones when I workout. I’ve had mine over a year and now if I were to accidentally step on them or drop a weight on them in a workout, oh well, just another $20 to get a new pair.
I've had these for almost a year and they work pretty well. The sound quality is good, not amazing but they stay put while working out and running. I wish the battery life was a little better, I get maybe 2-3 hours. Definitely a good budget option, but I wouldn't say that they're the best. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0753GRNQZ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
/r/headphones subscriber reporting in. Analog audio is really finicky, and most people don't care or even think about its quality on a day to day basis. But even something as simple as an apple USB-C Dongle (which has, basically, the iPhone's decent DAC chip inside of it), will be an upgrade over a lot of other handset's on board sound.
DACs performance can be measured by how closely they can replicate the original waveform of the file they're decoding, and with how much dynamic range (difference between loud and quiet parts), how much volume it can play back into headphones, etc. Audio Science Review is a great place to start. Head-Fi, and SuperBest Audio Friends are also great places to lurk.
The Apple USB-C Dongle is like 10 bucks, which, if you have a USB C phone, is worth trying out with your favorite pair of wired Earbuds, if for no other reason than to see if things sound better. Is the apple Dongle a world-beater for $10? Nah, but if you want to go crazy there's things like the Audio Quest Dragonfly series, or the iFi Audio iDSD DAC/Amps, or Fiio's Q1 and Q5s.
It's a deep dark spiraling rabbit hole into financial ruin.
Also, the biggest difference in how things sound, will usually be your headphones, or speakers. Getting a decent pair of headphones can take you a long way, and they don't have to break the bank either. Heck, Sony Mh755's were a free inclusion with their Bluetooth modules, and sell for 8 bucks on eBay, and their sound quality has been pretty widely acclaimed. That being said, there's also the Tin Hifi T2, or if you prefer over ears and want a new experience, the Philips SHP-9500.
Sorry to info dump all that. Should check out /r/audiophile and or /r/headphones for more information.
Edited: Added several links for products and also communities.
Check out Etymotic Research. I've been a fan of these for years and they have a great reputation for noise isolating buds and great frequency response. I currently own two sets, MC5's for my iPhone so I can use them for phone calls and casual listening and ER6i's where I listen to a lot of loss less audio (mostly flac and wav) from my iPod running Rockbox. There's an insane amount of reviews for the ER6i's on Amazon.
Here's a good deal for the MC5's $58
http://www.amazon.com/Etymotic-Research-Noise-Isolating-Earphones/dp/B003S3RFIQ/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1321856883&amp;sr=8-1
I've been using Etymotic MC5s (about $50) for about five years. I'm on maybe my third pair? But I used them multiple times a day and they take a BEATING. Can't say enough good things about them. They do NOT move, sound quality is excellent, and the price is reasonable for what you get.
I've purchased 5 new pairs of earphones this summer with prices for being between $60-$130 per pair. Below are my reviews for all 5 pairs. Some are noise blocking and some are not. Some are good for exercising while others are good for travel. Some are great for if you love heavy bass music and some are good for listening to talk-radio or podcasts. All of them are in-ear style earphones. I consider myself somewhat of an audiophile, and over the past 5-6 years I've cycled through countless different brand and models of earphones.
V-Moda Vibrato ~$130 : Sound quality is not good enough for this price, bass levels are a little too high and drown out other sounds, and V-moda has a reputation for their cords breaking at the ends and from the buds within a very short amount of time. I previously had the Vibe first and second generations, and although they look stylish, they had these design flaws and the cord broke within a couple months. They won't block outside noise. Don't buy V-moda earphones. There are far better brands out there and you can get much better quality for less money. 6/10 - this rating is quite generous but its because their lower end earphones are much worse.
Klipsch S4 ~$65 : For the price, these are a good pair of earphones. I use them for traveling because they won't be too much trouble to replace if something bad happens to them. They are nice-looking from a design perspective, and they will block a good amount of outside noise. The sound quality is pretty good for their relatively cheap price, and the bass levels are high, but its never going to overpower the other tones. The cord seems a bit thin and flimsy, but I've had no issues with that so far. These are also great for exercising, and can be worn in two ways on the ear: the normal way or you can flip them up and wrap the cord over and around the back of the ear for a more secure fit. I really like that aspect about these, and the only other pair that I'm reviewing that has this options are the Shure SE215's (see below). They also come with a nice selection of tips and a good carrying case. 8/10.
Etymotic MC5 ~$60 : I had heard and read a lot of great things about this company, so I decided to grab one of their pairs. They are known for their 3-flange tips. For me, these type of tips are nothing special. Actually, the small and medium tips didn't even fit in my ear (with every other company the small or medium tips fit me best) and their large ones barely fit. Thankfully they came with some foam tips that did fit but they are not smooth and are rather coarse and uncomfortable. There was only one pair of tips that worked well in my ears out of the 3 types of tips, and there was only one pair of the style that worked for me, while the others had 3-5 pairs. Anyway, with any type of their tips, the earbuds stick out farther than any other earphones I've had, so I didn't like the way they sat or looked when I wore them. Sadly, I was also disappointed with the sound they produced. There was almost no bass levels whatsoever, and their volume level is the lowest I've ever experienced... you need to have the mp3 player probably 30% louder with the Etymotic earphones compared to any others to have the same noise level. The only reason I kept them is because with seemingly nonexistent bass, they are good for talk-show podcasts and when I listen to NPR. The cord seems decent and sturdy enough, and they come with a nice case. Maybe their higher-end earphones don't have these issues, but for me, they were a huge disappointment. 4/10
Bose IE2 ~$100 : These earphones are perfect for not blocking all outside noise. I use them for exercising and running outside, and at work so I can listen to music or the radio while still being able to hear if someone is talking to me. These are their second generation and a design improvement on the tips makes them stay really secure in your ears while doing any activity. The sound quality is quite crisp with a nice range of tones and good bass levels too. They've got a stylish design and a unique black-and-white striped cord. They stay comfortable and secure in your ears for long periods of time are are well worth their price. The cord is durable and they come with a good selection of different sizes and styles of tips and include a nice carrying case. I think these are the best non-noise cancelling earphones available for a $100 budget. I'm very impressed by these. 9/10
Shure SE215 ~$100 : Saving the best for last. These are the nicest earphones in terms of sound quality, durability, and for blocking outside noise. These are perfect for any situation where you don't want or need to hear anything outside your music. Great for airplanes, long car rides, loud public places, studying, etc. I'll even use them to fall asleep when my roommates are still partying or being loud when I'm going to bed. When exercising, you can wear them pointed up, and have the cord wrap over and around the backside of the ear for a more secure fit. I like to use the foam tips: they're like the earplugs that you squeeze and put in your ears, and then they expand to the shape of your ear canal and block outside noise. As a company, Shure supply's almost every big name musician and performer at large large venue shows with both their high quality earphones and microphone equipment. They far exceed every other brand in terms of sound quality produced. For noise blocking earphones on a $100 budget, there's no reason to get anything other than the SE215's. They'll even replace them for free if you keep a receipt, and they've done this for me and other people I know with their earphones that have broken long after a 2-year period. I had the first generation model for a while and the cord malfunctioned and they upgraded me to the newer model at no cost. With this current model they've deigned the earphones so that the cord detaches from the buds at the base of your ear, so that if and when the cord breaks, you don't need to go buy a whole new pair, just replace the cord. This is also great for if and when you want to upgrade to their higher end models like the SE315, SE425, and SE535 (each higher number is about $100 more than the previous) because the cord works for all of the current SE series earphones, just swap out the buds on the same cord. Once you try any model of Shure's earphones, you will never want to buy another company's earphones. They come with a few styles of different tips, each in small, medium, and large, and their carrying case is quite nice. Ask anyone you know with Shure earphones and they will gladly tell how how awesome the earphones are. 10/10
TL;DR: for the best earphones on a $100 budget, either get the Shure SE215 earphones (blocks outside noise) or the Bose IE2 earphones (does NOT block outside noise).
Bose IE2 earbuds. They never fall out of your ears and they are ridiculously high quality. I'm on my third pair over the last 4 years (I broke them they didn't break on their own). Great sound quality as well. Only problem I have with them is that you can't change your music on the wire like you can with iphone earbuds.
Get ones with earhooks which are designed for exercise, or maybe ones with earbuds shaped like this http://www.amazon.co.uk/Bose-627476-0020-IE2-Audio-Headphones-black/dp/B003XU6H8I
Looking for a good pair of headphones for listening to musis and gaming on my laptop.
Budget: Flexible around $100
Source: My laptop (I use it as a desktop so I do not need these headphones to be portable)
Type of Headphone: Closed Headphones
Preferred Tonal Balance: Semi balanced leaning towards bass but still able to have a wide range. (I'm new to this so if you think this is wrong for the type of music I am listening to just tell my please)
Past Headphones: JVC IEMS. I still have them and will continue to use them for portable use.
Preferred Music: Electronic( Nightcore, Nightstep, Dubstep, House, Trap, Glitch Hop, etc.) Classic Rock.
Location: USA
Headphones I am looking at right now: Right now I have had Sony MDR10Rs, Shure SRH440s, and V-MODA Crossfade LPs all recommended for me and I think they suit what I am looking for and want to know your opinions.
Side Note I have also been recommended m50's by audiotechnica but someone else here said they are uncomfortable and have too narrow a soundstage for gaming.
Here's a really unhelpful list of reviews/stats for a brazillion IEMs: http://theheadphonelist.com/headphone-list/
Here's the way more helpful buying guide: http://theheadphonelist.com/earphone-buyers-guide/
I keep meaning to buy a pair of RHA MA750 but I never get around to it because my MEElectronics M-Duos I got for $26 work/sound just fine. Little bottom heavy for my liking but reasonably clear sounding. When they break I'll probably get the RHAs.

Austauschbare Kabel, zwei Kabel dabei. Eignen sich gut zum Sport machen, und Klang ist auch in Ordnung.
I got Otium bluetooth:

They work pretty well
so you should've bought that then...even going to the amazon page for the item (https://www.amazon.com/Jaybird-X3-Sport-Bluetooth-Headphones/dp/B01M7NCT5O), they make no claim about sound quality or include specs about its sonical performance. It's clearly not marketed to someone who cares about audio quality.
In contrast, the most recent IEM I bought, which is a Monoprice Triple driver, although has a terrible name and some juvenile logo/advertising, includes information regarding the driver, specs about its sonical performance, and even a frequency graph:
https://www.monoprice.com/product?p_id=18516
I bought some RHA MA750s because they have a durable looking thick cable (although the cable on mine is indented from the packaging it came in but that seems mostly cosmetic) with a big metal spring strain relief. They also have a 3 year warranty and great customer service.
RHA 750i
Headset or buds? The i edition of the RHA MA750s I linked above should be pretty great if head-fi is to be believed. You should definitely check out the table too if you're looking for IEMs.
EDIT: Some table usage tips: narrow by budget first, then look for a high average rating. If you don't know what criteria you're looking for, leave them blank and try to find a good balance. I personally don't care much about accessories or microphonics, so I look for high average values despite those things since that means everything else must be super high to compensate. In your case, microphonics might be more impactful so you could keep that high.

If you’re serious about headbanging Jaybird X3 are the way to go, any over-ear headphone that clamps tight enough to not come off while moving around like that is likely going to be uncomfortable as fuck :)
What is your budget? I have the Jaybird X3 and absolutely love them. They were my third pair after trying a couple of other brands and the sound is incomparable. I think at the $100 level they are some of the best you can get.

These lasted me about 8 months before I stepped on them and broke em. Used them pretty much 8 hours a day at work and at the gym. Really good quality for the price.
IMO i don't agree. I was suckered into buying airpods a while ago and I actually end up using these $30 wireless earphones waaaay more just because they sound so much better, have a longer battery life (and can be used with a cheap charging case) and are much more comfortable.
2
(I think Dave and I have the same bluetooth headphones and they are pretty rad. I got them on sale for $20.)
I use these bluetooth earbuds and am happy with them.
I've been using the Tin Audio T2 for the past couple months, they are good entry level in ear monitors for $50, great build quality and nice sound quality. They have a natural, flat sound so they don't really have a bias towards heavy bass or pronounced treble, just presents the music as is which I prefer (however that's not to say they are lacking in bass, there's plenty there).
If you want something that intentionally exaggerates bass (V Shaped) then maybe look into the KZ ZS10 (I don't actually own these though, just going off what I've read in /r/headphones - which you might want to do some research there too)
Neither of those are actively noise cancelling but just by being in ear monitors they will reduce a lot of noise since they are shoved up in your ear canal, especially if you get some foam tips like New Bee or Comply.
There are hundreds of options out there so this is a deep rabbit hole to fall in but I think you can't really go wrong with the T2s as your first pair, then go from there depending on what kind of sound signature you want.
For future reference, these in-ear monitors are comparable to IEMs in the $300 range but only cost $50.
Based on my experience and trying a bunch, best headphones I've tried (and bought) around $100-$150 (they all sound way better than beats phones):
I use these (Sennheiser PMX 680) for running.
I love them, they never fall out, they are durable, bright, and the cord is in two pieces (I sometimes run with the second gen nano so I don't need a long cord).
I have these and love them. Work out 3x a week including running (6 miles) and weight lifting. Very durable and can handle the sweat storm I throw at them.

I picked up these when they were on sale a few months ago for $26 and couldn't be happier.
(two others on this thread also recommended these already.)
Ah yes, good ol' misophonia. I think it's a little hard to understand for people that don't have it. My housemates are not particularly well-educated on mental health issues, nor do they seem to bother empathizing much, so I have to deal with this for the moment.
When others are in the house or awake, I have to wear in-canal earplugs. You can buy them at any store in the drugs aisle; look for rounded foam roll-up kind with at around 30dB of noise reduction, be sure to clean your ears well, and insert the plugs deeply. They're somewhat uncomfortable at first but the boon to your sanity is probably worth it. I even go to sleep with these in.
For noisier moments or for something less conspicuous, I use in-ear earphones with noise-reducing tips, like these. Get extra cylinder foam tips since those are probably the most comfortable and noise-isolating. You can use these as earplugs, and you can also play music as an extra noise barrier.
I don't wear these around them much, of course, since that might come across as a bit rude. But having more quiet moments to myself helps me tolerate them better in general.
As for meals, I would recommend just asking to eat by yourself in your room or something. You may still want to consider bringing it up with your doctor, and if they don't take it seriously, find someone who does. It's easy for this to spiral into progressive anti-social behavior, especially if you have other issues.

Sound is ok, but ear buds are never going to match over ear. I have really sensitive ears, and Bose in ear buds are by a million miles the most comfortable earbuds I've ever used. Worth the price to me for that alone.
I've bought these earbuds twice now and I love them. Heavy bass but its not overpowering, everything sounds crystal clear. The only reason I had to re-buy them is because I stepped on my last pair and broke them. Not sure if this is exactly what you're looking or, but these are my suggestions for cheap earbuds.
These http://www.amazon.co.uk/JVC-HAFX1X-Xtreme-Xplosives-Headphones/dp/B004S7Q8CA/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1347826712&amp;sr=8-1
I swear by these. They aren't sound canceling, but they are light and have the best quality sound I've heard. THey have newer versions which are good as well, but I specifically used this version in each half and full marathon because you don't notice them even for long distances
Try these They wipe clean easily and don't fall out of my ears. I love them!
These are great.
Don't ride with crap $10 earbuds.
Get something from Etymotic and you will love it. LOVE IT. You won't go back.
I can't find the model I have because I got my pair years ago (still working perfect) for about $80. But here is a link to what I'm taking about just as an example Please note the triple flange eartips that provide excellent outside noise insulation.
Wear some noise isolating earbuds. They're essentially constructed like earplugs (IE: triple flange).
I have these, they'll cancel out pretty much anything. It's possible to mow the lawn and still hear my music comfortably.
I bought these Bose IE2s a year and a half ago and they are still going strong. By far the longest a pair of earbuds have lasted for me. Surviving so long has more than made up for the higher price tag.
Solid sound quality, and those little rubber pieces keep them completely stable in my ear. Running, backpacking, lifting, whatever - once they are in place they stay there. No more fiddling with headphones every 30 seconds to get them back in the right place.
As for sweat: My pair is in their second Texas summer and gallons of sweat hasn't bothered them yet.
If the not falling out factor is your main priority you need Bose IE2s. I've been using them for four years and have never once had them fall out of my ears (even push out a little bit). They make a water resistant version - SIE2s - although I don't think its worth the extra cash. You are paying more for them because of the name, and they don't sound as good as other traditional $100 headphones, but I still strongly recommend them because of the perfect fit.
Edit: Wording.
Bose. Seriously the best headphones I have ever had for running, going on 2 years old now and no issues, lifetime warranty too! http://www.amazon.com/Bose-327279-0020-IE2-Audio-Headphones/dp/B003XU6H8I/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top
This might not help you much immediately, but I find a good pair of headphones worth it in the long run. I get earbuds because I walk around a lot and listen to my iPod, so I don't have time (or really money) for a big pair of headphones. But since music is really one of my priorities in life, splurging a little on some good headphones is worth it.
These are the ones I have: Bose ear buds. They cost $100 there, but I'm pretty sure I found mine online for $80.
That'll make the all-around listening experience, no matter what the piece is, much better. And don't even tell me you eff around with those awful apple headphones, Steve Jobs shouldn't be remembered for those (too soon?)
Hmm. If you were in the NY area, you could stop by the Head-Fi meet next Saturday.
Looks like you just missed a recent Head-Fi meet in Ohio. Keep an eye out for meets near you.
Other than that, I would say try out good cheap headphones (and IEMs), and if you end up enjoying any of their qualities, there are always logical upgrades.
For example:
1.) If you purchase the Koss PortaPro and enjoy the warm tilt and thick bass, the HD 650, LCD-2 and ZMF Omni are logical upgrades.
2.) If the RE-400's or Carbo Tenore's neutrality floats your boat, give the HD 600 (smoother with less sub-bass) and HE-400i (brighter with more sub-bass) a spin.
Learning to read measurements is a great help as well. Lots of great stuff available for cheap (especially with IEMs), if you look around. =)
If you really do grow to love this hobby, you can make a habit out of buying and selling headphones, amps and dacs used to keep things fresh. /r/AVexchange and Head-Fi's classified section are reputable places to do this, although I have no experience with them.
It's hard because there are so many viable suggestions that could be made but here's a couple you should check out.
edit: fixed link
Just got a $25 gift card to Amazon for some survey I filled out and I'm thinking about putting it towards some new in-ear headphones. Anyone have any suggestions?
I've been using SoundMagic e30 for the past two years, and I'm looking at the Vsonic GR07, HiFiMan RE-400, and Yamaha EPH-100 so far.
Well it really depends on your budget. For around the $100 mark, I would grab the HiFiMan RE-400's with some Comply Tx-400 tips. If you want more bass then the Shure SE215's are probably a better bet.
Having said that, if you're happy with what you have then just stick with it. When it comes to hi-fi, ignorance is bliss my friend.
You'd probably have better luck with IEMs if you're worried about looks. The RE-400 is fantastic for $100 and will provide better isolation than any on-ear headphone.
Take a look at the RHA MA750.
do yourself a favour, spend £20 more and get the RHA MA750
Just a dumb question but is it possible to buy them outside of UK? http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00ELAM8LE/ref=s9_simh_gw_p23_d20_i3?pf_rd_m=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE&amp;pf_rd_s=center-4&amp;pf_rd_r=0PEQ4RP5FSNHTB51KBAD&amp;pf_rd_t=101&amp;pf_rd_p=455333147&amp;pf_rd_i=468294?

I'm looking to buy a pair of bluetooth headphones with a built in mic. Right now I'm between the Bose ae2w and the Photive BTH3.
Could anyone offer some insight?
I've been looking into Bluetooth headphones lately as well. From what I've gathered from reviews the Photive BTH3 are probably going to be your best bet under $70. You can check out this positive video review from [HiFi Heaven] (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dWXk9xKsjSs) but there are plenty of positive reviews out there. I haven't tested them yet myself but they're on my wish list for a good toss around pair.
I absolutely love these:
https://www.amazon.com/Earphone-Headphones-Running-Eartips-Microphone/dp/B00Y0F6IBG/ref=pd_sim_23_6?_encoding=UTF8&amp;psc=1&amp;refRID=YZ386Z18KMVDYFJJ9CXA
Perfect noise isolation and great bass. I wear these in the weight room and they're equally comfortable during long flights. I pair them with https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00UUDZSKE/ this bluetooth module so I can keep my phone in my gym bag. Battery life is days with this, unlike all-in-one bluetooth headphones.
Lol I guess I just care a lot more about my sound then most people... regardless the guy could get a decent pair for like $10 which both sound better and can be wrapped around the ears
Edit: for those downvoting me:

Bro these head phones are phenomenal for the price - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00Y0F6IBG/ref=cm_sw_r_other_apap_SHrwsTUb9hXgp
Alright this is gonna sound crazy but I just bought 11$ IEM headphones KZ ATE and they are probably the best headphones ive ever bought. My friend that bought 200$+ Shure headphones that he could barely tell the difference between the two. Non-bias /r/headphone thread about said headphones
I recently got these KZ-ATE-Hifi earbuds and they're absolutely great for the price. I would definitely recommend. I heard they're durable, which is why I originally got them.
I do it on my Grom because it's so easy to rev match when down shifting. I don't need to listen to the engine to get it right. Even if mess up the down shift it doesn't matter because since the engine hardly has any torque I won't get jerked around. I never wear earbuds on my 899 because it's much harder to rev match. I feel I need to hear the engine in order to down shift properly.
If you want good earbuds that are cheap, look no further than these: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00Y0F6IBG/
They are probably 90% as good as my $400 Shure earbuds. Plus they have a built in mic and play/pause/skip button. I just hold the mic near the gap between my helmet and chin and it works well enough for my wife to hear what I'm saying while I'm riding on the freeway.

cables will break when you do this, no matter the price. If you want to increase the longevity of your headphones stop putting them into your pockets. Use a hardshell carrying case and do not twist and bend the cable when storing them.
In case breaking cables are a problem that occur frequently for you I'd recommend investing a little more money and buying an IEM with detachable cables. For ~50€ you could get the Mee Audio M6PRO.

They're tied together and I havent lost them in a year.
I don't think this is weird at all. When I switched from electronic drums to acoustic I knew I had to protect my ears, but it meant I could no longer hear the band ... kind of a big deal.
It cost a bit of money to fix it, but I basically mic'd my drums, got a mixer (make sure it has plenty of inputs), and started running everything into my mixer (drums, vocals, bass and even guitars). I can control the level in my ears via the mixer's monitor controls and then output everything to the PA.
This is what I bought. It's definitely lower end of the quality spectrum, but it was the cheapest way to get myself rolling. We don't gig (yet) so everything stays in one place ... which means I don't really have to worry about the durability of this stuff yet.

Jaybird X3
Great fit, sound and battery life. Equalizer app for adjusting sound levels is appreciated. Lacking W1 chip so range and pairing not as good as others. I personally like the cord so I can hang them around my neck when not in use.
They've been on the market for over a year, which is ancient by tech product standards, but the follow-on model (X4?) is nowhere in sight and being a little long in the tooth you can typically find them on sale at BestBuy or Amazon typically for $80-$100 (MSRP $130). I actually lost a pair recently and after much deliberating decided to re-buy the same model.
To add: They are currently on sale on Amazon and you can price match at Best Buy
thoughts on these? Jaybird X3 Historic low on camel. same price on Best buy as well
(a non-facetious answer): If the headphone jack truly is broken - and not just full of lint (check by digging in it with a toothpick) you have a couple of options. The fact that Apple has removed the headphone jack on current phones will work to your advantage now.
You could buy some bluetooth headphones (anything from airpods to cheap $20 Chinese headphones on amazon. I have these and they work pretty well: https://www.amazon.com/Headphones-TaoTronics-TT-BH07-Waterproof-Cancelling/dp/B06ZYX6Y1T )
Or you could get a set of lightning earpods (from apple - the apple site is being updated right now so I can't get a link but these: https://www.amazon.com/Apple-EarPods-Lightning-Connector-iPhone/dp/B01M0GB8CC )
or you could use your current headphones with a 3.5mm->lightning adapter: https://www.amazon.com/Apple-Lightning-3-5mm-Headphone-Adapter/dp/B01LXJFMGF
I use these: https://smile.amazon.com/Headphones-TaoTronics-TT-BH07-Waterproof-Cancelling/dp/B06ZYX6Y1T/ref=sr_1_2_sspa?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1521927378&amp;sr=8-2-spons&amp;keywords=taotronics+bluetooth+headphones&amp;psc=1
Sound quality is absolutely standard but they put up well with sweat and the magnetic backs are great for keeping them around your neck when you need to take them out for something. Battery life is pretty good too.

Those get a lot of positives here, but I use these at less than a quarter of the cost and I love them. Good sound, they never fall out during long runs or short, I can receive and talk on calls mid-run. I don't think you can beat them for the price;

*edited to add- these are strictly bluetooth headphones. There's no storage.
what headphones? we price match alllll the time. with products like tvs and headphones there will be almost identical products except one feature
example [these](https://smile.amazon.com/Sony-Noise-Cancelling-Headphones- WH1000XM2/dp/B074KDJVS2?sa-no-redirect=1) vs these
most major electronic (sony, lg, samsung, apple) vendors regulate their own prices which is what makes it financially possible for BB to price match in the first place. the prices are the same everywhere
Any interest in this? https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B074KDJVS2/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o09_s00?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1
brand new in the box. $290 any comments?
Im a youtube reviewer so Ive owned all the major noise cancelling headphones such as the Bose QC 35, Sony, Bowers & willkins, H9i and so on. Of them all the QC35 II had the best feeling on my head and this goes for all bose headphones ive owned. Thats what they excel at.
I did not like the Sony at all, I actually hated it, didnt like the look, comfort was eh, everyone was getting it, plus I didnt like the sound. Treble is rolled off heavy so it sounds muffled, yea it has more bass (everyone loves to brag about this) but the bass isnt clean, you can hear the slight tingy nature almost like its compressed. And its a vshape signature so nothing about it is superb.
Not to mention the multitude of cracking issues that it has.
Couldn't justify it, Plastic everywhere, leather looks great from afar but looks ugly up close
First thing people will tell you is that the sony has amazing features an all these things that would be awesome. Most are gimmicks. You dont need a barometric sensor on a noise cancelling headset thats stupid, I know cause im a pilot and I use noise cancelling headphones that cost 1000+
Also in order to enable the equalizer you need to disable high quality mode but they wont tell you that in the commercials.
***
Full transparency I didnt go with either, I went for the H9i for the replacable battery. since you cant replace the battery on either so in 5-6 years time you will have to throw away the bose and the sony, I guess thats life tho.
to be honest the bose has its downsides but I think its a better overall package that sounds better as well, but headphones are highly subjective so take other peoples reviews in account.
I use cheapos (here)
They have a bunch of different tips and wings and all that for different ear sizes.
I got some Bluetooth headphones from Amazon a couple of months ago. They sound really good and the battery life is nice. At first, I thought the little module where the controls are we’re going to be in the way, but surprisingly I don’t even notice them while running. They haven’t caused me discomfort and that’s usually an issue for me.

Happy with these. They work pretty well to cancel out sound on construction sites.
OG Pixel here, but I use an older model of these. Bought them for music and it turns out they work great for phone calls as well.
I really like these: https://www.amazon.com/SoundPEATS-Bluetooth-Headphones-Sweatproof-Earphones/dp/B074THH5Q2/
They are fairly inexpensive (<$25), and I've been pretty successful leaving my phone in my gym bag on the side of the court and shooting around with them. I keep the wire behind my head, and have never really had any problems with it (it's actually kind of nice that they are connected).
MPow Flame work great for me, plus they're pretty cheap.
These are sub $20, and some of the highest rated and best selling on Amazon. I've had them for a few weeks and love them.

similar to these
I can’t find my exact ones anymore, I think they’re all Chinese knock offs and their stores drop in and out of the market place, but that $20-30 price point will get er done
I like the ear hooks 🤷♂️
I got these Mpow Flames for that same reason, I needed headphones for jumproping. They stay in great, I've never had any problems with them (they come with multiple different bud sizes, so if they don't fit well you can switch sizes)

Similar situation, same story with the Jaybirds. Decided to try a cheap mpow set.
I bought them in the spring - still going strong now. Not the best sound quality, but not too damn bad either.
A bunch of people on this sub strongly recommended Mpow Flame bluetooth earbuds, so I finally bought them and I definitely think they're worth it! Comfortable, stay put, long battery life, and connect easily every time.

Tin T2 is cheap and is much easier to listen to than the Tin T3. The t3 stings my ears with the treble. The T2 is perfect for gaming but has weak-ish bass.

The foam ear tips will have best noise cancelling likely. They are more neutral sounding - so better balance. Perhaps a bit light in the bass.
If you can go up to $60, these, NuForcexMassdrop EDC have good bass, but are less balanced.

searching for IEMs instead of earbuds/phones generally yeilds better results. Would the Tin T2 be something that fits your criteria?
If you want to go the headphone route, Tin Audio T2s are some of the best budget audiophile earbuds out there, and will sound way better than cheap bluetooth earbuds.

I picked up Jaybird X3 on clearance at Target. They put out pretty good isolated sound in my opinion, but I'm no audiophile. They hold a connection much better than the Beats I had previously. I have used them for over an hour at a time while mowing the yard and they still had at least 20% left.

Any in-ear buds would be fine, it's a matter of finding the right fit tips, most come with 3 sizes of tips, these are what I use. Etymotic Research (a great brand, we used them in the lab for a lot of our equipment) offers custom fit ear tips if you don't find a comfortable fit.
These are some cheapy earbuds but they work enough for my needs (not an audiophile). I always have had problems with earbuds falling out of my ears, not with these.

I bought these, for $20 they are still kicking strong after 6 months of wilpers.

I have these taotronics and while the sound quality is great, if you have small (or shallow?)outer ear canals, I would not recommend it. They are very heavy and keep falling off :( my ears also have to COMPLETELY DRY for them to not fall off.
Works for Boyfriend and he says they’re pretty good at isolating noise. First one stopped working but was under warranty and company was nice to send another one for free.
I bought these https://www.amazon.com/TaoTronics-Bluetooth-Headphones-Wireless-Earphones/dp/B06ZYX6Y1T
to use with my android and they don't seem to have much delay at all, and it doesn't look like it supports low latency. I never noticed the delay at all. I played a video on VLC and delayed audio by 150ms and played it through my normal speakers to see if maybe I was just deaf to the delay and there the delay was definitely noticeable.
TaoTronics Bluetooth headphones; they fit snug, have great sound, and are cheap.

For anyone who reads this and hasn't found a good sounding pair of Bluetooth earbuds or doesn't know where to start, try these. If you mainly use earbuds they will surprise you. I've since moved on the the much more expensive jaybird x3s and honestly sound quality wise, the Taotronics are very close.
Tao Tronics make some great sounding headphones. Already own a pair I run in, probably going to pick these up for daily use:

$20 https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B06ZYX6Y1T?psc=1&amp;ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title
They last me about 6 hours of continuous use. I sight in pistols and high powered rifles and they work just as well as my $150 shooting ear buds. Water/dirt proof. Also magnetic so they snap together around the neck, or if I'm crawling around and stuff I can just throw them onto the nearest metal surface.
My Bluetooth buds do most of that. Charge once or twice a week and I'm good, and if you have a portable solar panel you can charge that way.

Thank you all for the recommendations! I've added them to my wish list and will try each as the former ones die.
Here's some more info on what I'm looking for from a previous post that got down voted-
I liked the AKG braided cable feel a lot. Eventually they broke and I used the S7 headphones which I loved but I had to buy in packs of 3 since I broke them every couple weeks. The 'wing anti slip sport hook' silicon tips were extra awesome and [I prefer that style-] (https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01NAU0DE3/ref=mp_s_a_1_28?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1520287198&amp;sr=8-28&amp;pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65&amp;keywords=S7+headphones)
Eventually those ran out and I read in a thread that [these Panasonic in ear buds] (https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00E4LGVUO/ref=yo_ii_img?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1) were
good and tried those, which worked for a while but had Meh build quality.
I've got these taotronics Bluetooth wireless ones that I hardly used that I need to actually get used to charging - but might get the [single airpod style off brand bud] (https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B078H8Z2DK/ref=mp_s_a_1_6?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1520287402&amp;sr=8-6&amp;pi=AC_SX236_SY340_FMwebp_QL65&amp;keywords=Wireless+in+ear+headphones+single&amp;dpPl=1&amp;dpID=31HuB%2ByDpZL&amp;ref=plSrch) that are selling for $20 just to avoid the wires-
The most Infuriating thing and my biggest complaint is my wires getting caught in random shit and being ripped out of my ears. I essentially listen to no music, and only listen to podcasts and NPR and YouTube.
So-
What would you recommend? Under $30 if wireless
Also the latter question.
Sorry for the wall
I had the exact same question here last week, ordered some of these Taotronics, loving them so far.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B06ZYX6Y1T/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1525788914&amp;sr=8-3&amp;pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65&amp;keywords=taotronics&amp;dpPl=1&amp;dpID=3141lBOmcGL&amp;ref=plSrch
Only complaint that goes with the territory is that they make a sound every time you move. This seems like it would really bother you, but for some reason it doesn't.
I know nothing about headphones or their prices, but doing a quick check on Amazon yields the following prices of each item atm:
Product | Cost
---|---
WH1000XM2 | $348.00
SRS-XB2 | $49.99
MDR-XB510AS | $34.99
Total | $432.98
It's pretty obvious that if you were gunning for the headphones in the first place, this is a good deal as you'll get some extras on top of it for the same price.
They are $298 now on Amazon
I wouldnt. When headphones have structural flaws that put too much stress on certain parts, in unavoidable that it'll happen. But I would look at the reviews on Amazon.
Actually, I was curious myself. It seems Sony is making this a habit, lol. I had the same experience with one of their gaming headsets. If you go on Amazon and look at the reviews, specifically the 1 and 2 stars, you'll see they're mostly complaints about the headband. Which are about 20% of the reviews. The 4 and 5 star reviews are likely mostly people who have had them for only a few weeks or months. Problem is, when a lot of those people have cracked headbands they dont always go back and update their review.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B074KDJVS2/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_wW5DDbMMSK1VD
At first I asked if they were on a sale or second hand, but then I saw "like new". Like new doesnt really determine how old they are. Just if they have any visible damage. Battery life, or if the sound still works. Like new could be a few months old. Or a week old. I wouldnt take that gamble at all.
Sony Noise Cancelling Headphones WH1000XM2: Over Ear Wireless Bluetooth Headphones with Microphone - Hi Res Audio and Active Sound Cancellation - Black (2017 model) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B074KDJVS2/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_dSb-Bb2SQTWY6
Some headphones use leatherette. They usually don't say though and you'd probably have to ask the manufacturer to make sure. You can usually google it and find a review that specifies leather or leatherette.
Also while some headphones don't have leather, the case it comes with might be made out of leather and they might not say that in a review.
Your best bet is to probably look up good headphones that meet your needs and ask the manufacturer if they are made of leather. I think it's best if you find headphones that are accidentally vegan rather than a product that advertises itself as vegan.
From a little searching I found that the Bose QuietComfort 35 is vegan.
The Sony WH1000XM2 has synthetic ear pads, but the case it comes with might be leather. You can try contacting Sony if you want to consider them.
I workout a lot and these Phaizers have been my favorite out of multiple ones I tried for security in my ears during physical activity, battery life, and comfort. If sound quality was more important for me I'd probably splurge on the Sony WH1000XM2.

I paid $350 for them at Best Buy, so this price looks great to me. A couple nice things is that the battery life is really long (they say 30 hours) so I don't need to worry about it on those 27-hour flights to South East Aisa. I can use it for a week at home without worrying about charging them.
Another nice thing is they have the normal mode and sound-canceling mode, but they have a third mode which is Ambient, allowing outside sounds to come through if you need to hear announcements in an airport, for example.
Lastly, if you install their app, you have the ability to control the EQ and a few other settings from your phone, which is really nice.
Sony just released the 1000xm3. So you could probably find last years 1000xm2 around that price especially if you dont mind going with refurbished. They arguably have the best noise cancelling of any headphones.

Iris may have been slower but it is useful when you cant pickup the phone (i.e. like cooking). If you had your phone on a stand next to your desk, it's much easier.
As for bluetooth headphones, I just want 12+ hours of bluetooth time. The battery life is getting better but it's like they artificially restrict the gains they can make.
I am not a fan of the buds or pods style. I like having a cable that connects the ear pieces like these:
SoundPEATS Magnetic Earbuds Bluetooth Headphones https://www.amazon.com/dp/B074THH5Q2/
BUT I like having the headphone Jack cuz sometimes when traveling I forget to charge my bluetooth. And its annoying to have to charge another day each day already. Nothing wrong with options.
As for the Fingerpront sensor, I got used to it. I like being able to unlock it easily when picking it up.
I use Soundpeats and they're awesome, especially for the price point (~$30)! I've had two different models and I've never had an issue with them falling out during lifting!
If it's still under warranty they'll send you replacements. Mine just went out as well. The Oculus Earphones are $49.99 and replacement headphones are $39.99.

The earbuds worked great while they lasted. I ended up breaking them about a month later; was going to reorder but the Jaybird X3 sport were on sale at the time and decided to spend the extra money for higher quality earbuds. The only thing I do miss is the magnetic connection.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B074THH5Q2/
Some company called Sound Peats. They're aren't studio quality, and bass is a little lacking, but I'm often surprised at how good they sound for the money.
Your watch will just become the distraction, but you can get cheap BT earbuds on amazon for 25$. I've had mine for over a year and the battery/ connection is still good as new

These headphones are the number 1 best sellers on amazon. They’re Bluetooth and very highly reviewed while also being very cheap. Unbox therapy did a video on them and liked them too. I don’t think I’ve seen a better bang for your buck deal. And they sound good too. From what I understand they aren’t too prone to breaking either unlike what seems like 80% of earbuds nowadays.
I personally wouldn’t pay for AirPods. Not worth imo but to some the brand name is worth it but if you want it for sound and quality AirPods are overpriced.

Afford wireless headphones? You can get Bluetooth headphones for super cheap.

My nephews and nieces have no problem using a common MP3 Player, though I'm not sure they were quite as young as 21 months.
I'm a little confused, will he select the music himself, or will he only listen to music you have selected. Picking his own songs would be difficult if he can't read. I'm not sure what interface he could use that would not require some reading.
Do you intend for him to listen on headphones or small speakers?
You can get Bluetooth Headphone and EarBuds for a reasonable price. Then you could shut the speaker off on ...whatever system you are using... and just let the music stream to his headphones.
https://www.amazon.com/Mpow-Bluetooth-Headphones-Waterproof-Cancelling/dp/B0753GRNQZ/
This assume the unknown source of music can transmit Bluetooth, Though that is a problem than can be solved for a reasonable price.
So, would he be using this on his own in a separate room? Is that the idea? Do you have the music stored somewhere, or would he be streaming it?
There are MP3 Player that have display screen, so perhaps he could use that to recognise the picture of the music. This is just one of many examples -
https://www.amazon.com/EVASA-Portable-Digital-1-8Screen-Blue-16GB/dp/B07CZ9WKCL/
https://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_1?url=search-alias%3Daps&amp;field-keywords=mp3+player
Though that would require headphones. But you seem to want a small Speaker based device.
This is a table top model that does a lot, but I'm not sure if it does what you need.
https://www.amazon.com/Portable-Wireless-Bluetooth-XPLUS-Hands-Free/dp/B072QT8QV8/
Here is another handheld, but I'm not sure if it does what you want because I'm not sure what you want?
https://www.amazon.com/Reacher-Waterproof-Bluetooth-Speaker-Player/dp/B01JZ7T4LO/
I believe this has a MicroSD card that the music can be stored on. Within my limited understanding of your requirements, this last link comes close.
I've very confused by the description. Can you clarify?
1.) What is the source of the Music? MP3? Where are the MP3 stored? Bluetooth? Network Streaming? Other?
2.) "would look like a usb mini controller" - I have no idea what a USB Mini Controller is. Could you be more specific about the size of the device you are looking for? Head Held? Tabletop? If Handheld, why a speaker and not Headphones.
3.) Why a speaker, and how big and function of a speaker to you think you will get in a handheld device?
4.) Who is going to operate this device? Who is going to browse and select the music?
Sorry I couldn't be more help.
Those are cheap and durable: Mpow Flame
I sweat a lot as well. I use the Mpow Flame Bluetooth headphones and they work great. They rarely fall out of my ears, have a long battery life, and cost $19. Mpow Headphones
It depends what your workout is. If its body weight and not in the gym then you could probably just go to Drake Stadium and workout there without headphones. There are dip bars and pull up bars in the back of the track area. If you want to be in the gym and don't want to spend a lot on headphones these are decent cheap ones that I work out with:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0753GRNQZ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
The price is usually 17-18$ if you want to wait for a sale.
Tin T2 is one of the best for price to performance, but it's not for everyone. The sound signature is flat and for some people, it's lacking on bass. In exchange though, it gives you amazing clarity and neutral sound.
It will depend on the music you mostly listen to.
Amazon Link for Tin T2. Make sure to just get the T2 and not the T2 Pro or the T3.

I recently purchased these. They're pretty nice sounding and really sturdy. Plus if the line rips or anything you can just buy a new one. Think the same can go for any of the earbuds.

I have a pair of the 280 pros, and I like them for what they are. However, if you really want to block out the external sound, not much can compete with a pair of IEMs, like these Etymotics. They are under $100 and I can use them to mow the lawn with my riding mower. I believe I read somewhere that they attenuate about 40 dB of external noise. And they sound pretty damn good.
I've got these as my IEM's. They're incredible. It drowns out 100% of airplane, car, and hallway noise at my college. I'd recommend them for sure!
My bad I did not see the part on IEMs.
I would like to point out that it's quite a tall order not to have isolation on IEMs (the very fact they're called "in ear"). If you need voices and details it'll be Etymotics https://www.amazon.com/Etymotic-Research-Portable-Earphones-Black/dp/B000XPG2QI
If you're worried about over isolation just turn down the volume.
If you don't mind considering headphones,
https://www.amazon.com/Sony-Mdr-cd900st-Studio-Monitor-Headphones/dp/B000UPEJCU
These are used in many studios and radio stations, wouldn't go wrong with these.
I have been using a pair of Etymotic HFs for four years. I do not have the current 5gen, but a previous generation.
I bought these to replace a pair of Bose in-ears that I was not happy with. The sound quality is superb. Great bass response and clean crisp vocals. The buds come with a nice case and cleaner. A wide range of foam and rubber tips help ensure a good fit and noise isolation (another great feature for planes and work).
Currently available on Amazon for $109.40.
In-ear headphones are extremely good at this, they're basically earplugs that can play sound. I like the etymotic HF-5, but you should consider buying a pair of their earplugs and making sure that they're comfortable for you (some people have small or easily irritable ear canals).
The one downside that I've had with them is that most of them are inconspicuous, so people tend to start talking to you and not realize that you can't actually hear them for several seconds.
They have to use the earbuds as that's the only thing that will fit under those sound proof/canceling ear muffs.
If you are asking for a decent set of IEMs, here you go:

I have these Etymotic HF5s and I'm quite happy with them.
THESE are what you want. Use the foamy style inserts. That or get them custom molded to your ears. It's what I use.
I got these awesome Etymotic IEMs, and they are the best passive noise cancellation I've ever had with IEMs. I didn't really want something big and bulky like headphones, but these things really do the trick on the plane. Much cheaper too.
I have the same problem with earbuds. I picked up a pair of these on clearance when I was still riding my longboard regularly. Love them.
I'm currently using a pair of PMX 680 from Sennheiser.
They sound really clear and detailed. Nothing stellar or life-changing, but far above most "sports headphones" around. For 26 bucks they're a steal.
Check these Sennheisers out, they are on discount right now on amazon down to $35. There is also an iPhone compatible model, but it's more expensive and maybe unnecessary unless you really, really want to be skipping tracks; normal ones have volume control already. :) Hope it helps, cheers.
These are by far the best I've used for running.
http://www.amazon.com/Sennheiser-PMX-680-Sports-Headphones/dp/B0034L3G8U
They are waterproof, stay in place and do not block out all sound so I can still hear a car or dog coming up from behind, and volume control on the chord.
Jogging? I've been using these Sennheiser sports earphones for ages at the gym and they never fall out or get in the way, especially when coupled with an armband for your iPod/music player. Great sound as well.
[](/rdwut "time to get funky up in this mother")
Lol, I just looked at that too, I was like "holy crap I made a lot of comment work today".
Also, those headphones look awesome.
I recently picked up a pair of Sennheiser PMX 680 Sports for exercising and they've been amazing. I'll use them to run and get around campus. I just love the fact that I can change the volume from a separate control and they're light too.
I used to be that idiot who bought skull candy headphones till I went to Japan and was amazed by the variety of headphones they would have in store. It would just be a straight up wall of headphones to try so I sat for about an hour plugging into different ones and trying them. I still need to find a decently price over-ear headphone for home use, but that can come later.
Etymotic MC5's are great for riding, they have up to 35db of noise reduction with the 3-flange tips.
Good to see some love for Etys. I have the lower-end MC5's and really enjoy them. One of my favorite features is a strong, thick chord that is pretty much tangle-proof. The amount of frustration saved from not dealing with a rat's nest everytime I pull them out is great. The clip, fit, and SQ are too.
I picked these up the other day and they sound really good and keep out most background noise.
Etymotic in-ear, basically earplugs with speakers in them. Could be kind of hard to get used to, they go in your ears pretty deep and they are noisy if you bump the cord. They sound awesome, but are nearly as bass heavy as a lot of headphones.
http://www.amazon.com/Etymotic-Research-Noise-Isolating-Earphones/dp/B003S3RFIQ/ref=sr_1_1?s=aht&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1453849570&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=Etymotic+MC5
If you really want to get into researching this site has a ton of in-ear monitor reviews that include how isolating they are - http://theheadphonelist.com/
I've had more success with noise isolating - basically ear plugs with speakers in them. This one has worked well for me, 30+ dB reduction I don't see noise canceling beating that.
With a similar style in-ear bud as the ones you posted, I've been a fan of Etymotic for years. I go with the MC5 or the MK5 model due to the slightly lower price point.

Bose IE2 Headphones
About 20 dollars over but I swear but these headphones. The curvature in the rubber makes them so comfortable, and have great sound from a reputable name. I think these headphones are worth every penny.

These are the shit:

Pricey, but fantastic.
I have to plug the Bose IE2 earbuds, they are incredible. I've owned them for 2 years now and they are still my baby. I know how this sounds but my ears feel naked without them in. I wear them for multiple hours while working and they are comfortable the entire time.
The sound quality is the real kicker, they have the bass, but mostly the depth and quality. You hear things most people miss. I've heard all the criticism of Bose and while they cost $100, I am beyond impressed and now have two friends become converts with their own pairs. Especially recommended if you are a runner or cycling.

I'd go for the
JVC Xtreme Xplosive
Really great pair
Anyone considering these might also want to look at
these awesome buds from JVC, they have a fantastic range, and thanks to their huge drivers for earbuds, have great bass without having to change the sound. Highs, mids, and lows are all really clear.
I've had these ones for about 2 years, they've been through the wash about 3 times and they still work fine. Best £12 I ever spent
http://www.amazon.com/JVC-HAFX1X-Headphone-Xtreme-Xplosivs/dp/B004S7Q8CA
These are the greatest earbuds i have ever had. Their drivers are huge, making the audio quality and bass quality amazing. Also they are $30 and are completely worth it as the only earbuds which have come close to the quality of these are more than $70. They are amazing.
JVC all the way i cant find the exact ones online but future shop sells a really nice pair called vc HAFX1X Xtreme-Xplosive Headphones. The cables are really think excellent sound quality and gold connector. They retail about 60 bucks and i love them. Lost my last pair had them for about a year only head phones i have had that never severed inside or broke in anyway 10/10!
Edit i lied i found them also 40 bucks off amazon; Id get them if i was you
I bought some of these recently. Probably the best I've had for a long time.
JVC Etremes. I went on Amazon when I wanted to buy a new pair of earphones, sorted by 'top rated' at the time. These come top out of around 5000 listings. I always assumed JVC to be a crappy brand til I got these I love them! I love electro music and they blast so much bass. On sale for around £12 aswell! Great value.

1) JVC HAFX1X
2) G-Shock GA-100 1A2ER
3) Keys with bottle opener and SanDisk 8GB USB
Not included - Nexus 4, 16GB, no case.
Your best bet is probably the ATH M50s, they're almost over recommended because of how good they are for bassy music below $150. Right now on Amazon they're $159, so I'd wait until the price drops back down to around $105-120.
However, as someone who used the M50s and hated bringing around clunky headphones, I highly recommend the RE-400 in ear monitors. They absolutely blow away the M50s in clarity, isolation, and soundstage, but don't have as much bass without a bit of EQ.
These are the ones I'm referring to.

I've been rocking these monoprice earbuds and the sound quality is excellent for the price and they are extremely durable. I'll eventually get a great audio system for listening at home, but on the go, these do great
I've had a pair of these (Monoprice Earbuds) for nearly 4 years and they are still working perfectly and have little to no damage. Monoprice knows how to make cheap buds that last. They were 8$ when I bought them on sale, and I've bought them as gifts for people periodically since they are so good! You can nab them on Amazon for 10$ right now with prime.
They take about a week to "break in" where they sound a bit tinny, but after that, they are very well balanced.
An added bonus is the nylon-wrapped cable for extra durability! As for staying in your ears, these are made to loop over the top of your ears and they almost never fall out unless you pull on them a ton.
Check them out!
I'm looking for some cheap (under $20) earbuds for every day use. I've searched a decent bit and these two seem to have good reviews:

http://www.amazon.com/Monoprice-109927-Enhanced-Isolating-Earphones/dp/B00B8QCMHY
Are there any others I should consider, or any comments for the two above?
The Shure's are a great entry level pair. They are reliable and sound very decent. I actually use an older model of these for ipod headphones, as they sound better than anything else out there that I can find. The best feature IMO is the removable cable. I had a pair of really old entry level Shure IEMs that still sounded great, but the jacket on the cable riiiiight next to the earpiece corroded and it killed them - no fixing it, unfortunately.

I have a pair that I use - they don't sound quite as good as the Shure's do, but for the price differential, it's no surprise. I have been an audio engineer for 10+ years and can vouch that these things do a pretty damned good job for around $10. You can replace them 10 times for the price of any other "entry level" IEM (In-Ear Monitor).

Good luck!
The $50 Klipsch IMAGE S4 are great for the price. I used mine for over 2 years before they broke. They won't be as durable as some IEMs but if you take care of them they're great.
These $55 VSONIC R02 IEMs are apparently pretty great, but I haven't tried them.
These $30 Monoprice over-ear headphones are supposedly great for their price. I've never listened to them though.
And there are always the $11-17 Monoprice earbuds. They sound awesome for how cheap they are, but they would benefit from better tips.
Those are just some of your options though!
Get a $7 attachable mic and $10 Monoprice headphones. I think that would be your best option at only $20

Extremely durable and pretty decent sound quality, I only got them a while ago, but the reviews are very representative imo.
My strategy for this same problem was to get cloth-wrapped cables. They're surely a bit more chew-resistant, but more importantly my cat is just less interested in them than rubber/plastic.
Monoprice happens to make some well-regarded (for the price) cheapos that have nice cloth-wrapped cables. They're cheap enough that if the cat does manage to kill them it won't break the bank:

RHA MA750 Noise Isolating Premium In-Ear Headphone- 3 Year Warranty https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00ELAM8LE/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_dewMxbRSSPH8Y
http://www.amazon.com/RHA-MA750-Isolating-Headphone-Warranty/dp/B00ELAM8LE ?
The RHA MA750 are built to last a lifetime. I own them by myself and can say that they are of highest quality!
> headphones also seem more durable just as a matter of principle
Might be true, but some earbuds are more durable than others. I use the RHA MA750s and they are more solidly built than previous earbuds I've owned. Thicker cable, no plastic, spring at the base of the cable to prevent it from wearing, etc. On top of that they have a three-year warranty, as well as a carrying case which is kind of expected these days. I don't travel a lot, but I bring them in my pocket every day when I go to uni. They sound really great too, as long as you remember to tweak your equaliser a bit.
RHA MA750
Machined stainless steel body and good wires too. Not the most neutral sounding in-ears but miles better compared to your old earbud.
https://www.amazon.ca/RHA-MA750-Noise-Isolating-Headphone/dp/B00ELAM8LE/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1503562280&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=Rha
Hi and welcome to /r/headphones!
Glad to see that you want to make the step towards trying something new, although hopefully you don't fall into the rabbit hole like many of us have in this hobby :-)
The IE2 is an okay IEM from my memory, definitely not worth the retail price ($100~ i believe?) but ok at $49 in terms of sound. For your budget, the RHA MA750 is a very solid pair, especially if you're looking for a deeper audio profile. RHA's customer service team is very good and their 3 year warranty is quite sound; along with their actual sound too!
>if better options will cost me double the price of the replacement, but not double the quality.
How about something that's less the price of the replacement, but with better quality? The RHA S500 is a fantastic relatively new IEM that's extremely good value right now. It boasts a clear and detailed sound and a small form factor, in contrast to its larger sibling the MA750 (which has a warmer and more bassy sound).
The Meelec M6 PRO is also a great IEM at a low price. Detachable cables means that "replacing" them when they break is a lot cheaper and more simple, as the cable is the most common breakpoint in IEMs.
Hope that helps!
> AMP/DAC
What level of headphone do you have to be at for these to be helpful? I got some RHA MA750i's that I'm rather happy with (having come from my first entry-levels, Shure SE215's). I'm just wondering if it would be silly to invest in AMP/DAC's until I can afford some nicer overears.
If you can stretch the budget a little, these
Else, these are also great.
Edit: they have remoteless versions for $10 less
If you really want to get into Hi-Res and audiophile grade headphones then you should get something like Audio Technica MSR7 , Philips Fidelio L2 or Sony MDR-1R
Edit: In-ear that are good enough for Hi-Res would be: RHA 750i, Sony XBA-H3 or Shure SE425
For Canadian folks, the RHA MA750i with remote+mic are a great choice and are on sale right now over at Amazon.ca !
I have a love/hate relationship with these:
https://www.amazon.com/RHA-MA750i-Isolating-Headphone-Microphone/dp/B00ELAM8NC
GOOD: The sound is awesome once the drivers burn-in. The sound isolation is spectacular. They come with a wide variety of ear tips so you can definitely find the most comfortable fit. They honor the warranty.
BAD: The cable is very long so I snag it on stuff pretty often. I've broken 3 pairs, but that may just be me being hard on them as they get at least 5 hours of use every day.
People tend to prefer wireless when it comes to pairing with a phone and wireless tends to not worry about sound quality whereas IEM manufacturers are focused on sound and convenience isn't a worry.
I suppose you could consider this one? I haven't tried this version so I can't really say anything about it but it's also made by Lunashops.
Your second best bet would probably be the RHA MA750i (haven't heard) and if you are willing to forget about something balanced the Klipsch x11i has a pretty nice microphone.
My final choice has shoddy build quality but the RE-400i has great clarity and hits above its price range - if only it was more durable.
I'm not a serious audiophile, but I've been loving my recent purchase, the RHA MA750i's ($130). They seem to be pretty close to what you're looking for. The bass isn't terribly punchy, but it's nice and controlled. The mids are very well defined and seem to have some emphasis in the higher end. The treble is nice and crisp, but never sibilant. I wouldn't say they're a bright pair of headphones, definitely neutral, bordering on warmer, but the treble isn't lacking at all either. The soundstage is pretty good. Not super open, but not constricting. They have good isolation when you find the right set of tips. Plus, the MA750i's (not the regular MA750's) do have iPhone controls.
Also, I feel I have to mention the build quality. The cables are very thick (not great for storing in a pocket, but they prevent tangles and extreme bending very well), all the major parts (housings, mic/controls, splitter, and jack) are stainless steel, and there's a metal spring that's used as tension relief around the jack that I just think is ingenious. Plus, they have a 3 year warranty that, from all accounts, RHA seem to be very generous with what they'll cover.

Hey,
Bit late here, but I want to make a suggestion. I have the same issue as you - I hate when they need readjusting, or when they fall out. I even went with over-the-head headphones for 2 years to avoid the problem, but recently went back for better sound quality (and so I don't screw my hair up wearing headphones all the time). I originally thought the issue was type or size of earphones themselves, so I bought some RHA ma750i earphones. They sound fantastic and they are very well made (3 year warranty, too). Actually found out about them on the audiophile subreddit.
What I discovered, though, is that in-ear do not lend themselves well to sweat/fitness and people with small ears (mine are very small). They slid out a lot in the gym. I was about to return them when I read about Comply foam tips. I cannot recommend them enough. You buy them on Amazon, or their site, and replace the one's RHA gives you (or whatever you decide to go with). Then you roll them in your fingers before you put them in each time to make them small/pointy, and then shove 'em in. They reform within your ear canal and fit VERY snug.
I use them in the gym, at work, all over. They are noise canceling and isolate very well. They take a serious tug to get them to fall out. The only issue is that it does take an extra 10-15 seconds per earphone to get them in (rolling and inserting), so it's a bit annoying when you take one to talk to someone for a second.
The only caveat is that they are a bit pricey ($12-18 or so for 3 pairs [6 total]). They also get a bit waxy and I've found them to last 4-6 months each.
End of the day, I cannot recommend the tips enough. Once you find the earphones you want to buy, check out the Comply website and pick up a size that fits the earphones you bought. They come in different sizes, shapes, etc., so you need to be sure you buy the right one. They are exactly what you're looking for, I think.
http://www.amazon.com/Comply-T-400-Isolation-Earphone-Platinum/dp/B001DXGBII for some info.
(This sounds a lot like a sales pitch, but I'm not associated with them in any way haha. I just really love the product.)

The RHA MA750i's are really good IEM's which are incredibly comfortable for me (opinions vary) and a quality sound.
Alternatively, the SE215's are very popular around here: https://www.amazon.de/gp/aw/d/B004V3Q1ZA/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?__mk_de_DE=%C3%85M%C3%85Z%C3%95%C3%91&amp;qid=1484866392&amp;sr=8-1&amp;pi=AC_SX236_SY340_FMwebp_QL65&amp;keywords=se215&amp;dpPl=1&amp;dpID=311giwIqTlL&amp;ref=plSrch
I haven't tried them out myselves, but perhaps someone can chime in on the sound and quality of these earbuds.
I am very confused as to what in the hell happened to their prices. Last week they were $120 for the non remote version, like $140 the remote version. My suggestion would be to pick up one of these, because they are honestly the only ones I can find under $200 http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B00ELAM8NC/ref=dp_olp_used?ie=UTF8&amp;condition=used
Just a heads up, warehouse deals has this for $57 with "minor imperfections" which is just a fancy term they use for packaging damaged.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B00ELAM8NC/ref=dp_olp_all_mbc?ie=UTF8&amp;condition=all
So I wasn't sure either, so here's the pathway that I took:
Then I ended up with the Bose headphones.
I gotta say though, it was the best $300 I've ever invested in myself. If I had to recommend any/ headphones for a loud work environment, it'd be those ones. I put them on and I'm in another world -- no other set of cans I've tried before these has come close in terms of noise cancellation.
I did a lot of research for myself though, you might not want to spend that much if you have a smaller budget. My budget stopped mattering after I spent $200 on the HD 380 Pro and realized it was only a "decent" pair of headphones. :\
Well I haven't heard anything on both of these headphones nor I have read reviews, but in that price range 0 recommended options. these, these, and these, and these, and these and these are probably the only your budget options which users have noted to like, with the best being the last 2.
These are hard to beat for the money, they work and sound great!

I use both Pandora and Google Play, both streaming and music loaded on the device. I play via a pair of Photive Bluetooth headphones, I have a stereo setup with a pair of Soundfreq Sound Platform 2's in my living room, and I have an Inatek Mercury Box in my bathroom. All work beautifully with my N5X. My previous Galaxy S3 didn't always play nice with the SP2's and I would get cut-outs and drop the stereo a lot.
My budget is probably around $50 for wireless headphones.

Please let me know if I should look into something else
The Monoprice 108323 runs for <30$ both from their own site and other retailers like Amazon, likewise with the Tascam TH-02.
If you're willing to stretch the budget, the AKG K72 and ATH-M20X are also both great bang-for-the-buck options, they're probably some of your best options before you get into or near the $200 and higher range already.
If you're willing to go in-ear, the KZ brand that sells primarily through Amazon has some of the absolute best budget drivers like the ATE and the ZST -- they actually have several options under $20.
I lose or break headphones frequently, so like sunglasses I opt for "best I can do on the cheap"
These have done well for me and the sound is great for the price. Only complaint is the length is a little on the short side.
For a serious answer - the ve monks. Read through the reviews I linked over at head-fi. Since you have to order them from china, get 2 pairs (at a whopping $5 each). They'll take a long time to arrive (3ish weeks), so in the meantime order another cheap IEM brand I love from amazon - the KZ ATE
The KZ Ate or the MEE M6 if you are willing to spend a little more would be good options. The MEE cable is replaceable and comes with 2 so that should help on the durability front because its usually the cable that fails.
Take a look at the KZ ATE IEMs. You can almost buy two sets with your budget and they sound far better than their price lets on.
It looks very similar to the KZ ATE. I wouldn't be surprised if it was just a rebranding of the same headphone.
https://www.amazon.com/Earphone-Headphones-Running-Eartips-Microphone/dp/B00Y0F6IBG a long long time ago someone posted about headphones on the Tipper sub, and one of the users recommended these. Seen the price and was like “fuck it why not” have had them for about 2 years and the sound these produce is absolutely insane. Crystal clear mids, highs, lows. They pack a punch. The only thing I’m not a fan of is their ear pieces but I simply just put a different set off a different pair. I highly recommend these.
The're just headphones. Nothing special about them.
If you don't want to spend a lot of cash I suggest any of these.
These are some of the best audio quality headphone's I've had, altho for working out or day to day I prefer something simpler like my trusty SkullCandys
Earbuds
I've been told by an audiophile friend of mine that these are incredibly good, especially for the price, and are also noise reducing. Seems almost too good to be true, but I want to try them!

I checked the M6 Pro's and I think they do have a replacement cable much like the shures 215.

Any recommendations for a pair of good bluetooth earbuds?
I was using these and they stopped working after about 6 months (granted, they were only $20 so I feel like they performed as per their cost would suggest).
I'm not sure if my philosophy should be to go with a cheap pair of earbuds (knowing they'll go through crap like sweat, rain, etc...) and expect to replace them every so often; or to invest more up-front in a nicer pair that will hopefully last longer. Thoughts and more importantly, recommendations would be very welcome!
I got a pretty affordable pair ($19-21) on Amazon from Otium for my boyfriend and he liked them so much that I got myself a pair too! They’re over the ear. I will find the link and edit with it in a sec.
Edited - He has the red cord pair and I have the black cord. They come in a nice little carrying case.

Since your price range is quite small, unfortunately the only thing I could find that matches your requirement is this no name from amazon.
the cheap 20$ work for me, and everyone else I know. they are not buy it for life, but sound fucking amazing. tested the sound quality against beats and senheisers and some other stuff, with metal, classical, and some rap. they last a long time, and take abuse really well. have yet to break mine, and I am a musician, and a mechanic and beat my shit up. I am going to buy some backups just in case they stop making them. the bass is so strong and they seal so well I have to turn my eq flat and can't turn them up, and I am half fucking deaf, which means long ass battery life. they work with older phones too. I am honestly shocked at how good they have been. I like them over any others I have tried out.

Triple Drivers
So I've been looking for a good pair of headphones that are louder than what I currently have. I use a pair of Bose wireless sounds sports and while I love how much passive noise isolation they have they just aren't loud enough for me. Idk what it is about Bluetooth headsets just not being loud enough, I've tried 2 or 3 pairs and am looking into wired headphones as I think it's the only way I'll find what I'm looking for.
I need something that is loud but defined, has oomph in the bass without much sacrifice to other sound and can stand up to some abuse and are preferably workout safe. If they aren't workout safe (I.e. water/sweat resistant) it isn't a deal breaker it just means I'll use my sounds sports for working out and my wired ones for general use (chores, relaxing, reading etc). I just want to be able to have the music so loud I can't even think. A remote isn't necessary but would be nice.
I listen to alot of electronic, edm, techno, dubstep, dance/trance as it helps me focus and stay on task so that's what I would be using these for mainly. I also listen to rock, alt, hip hop rap etc. Pretty much anything besides country tbh. But I am very partial to bass heavy music.
I'm currently looking into these two pairs of sonys

And these decibullz

I know this may be somewhat low-end compared to some of the stuff posted here. But i was hoping /r/headphones could help me find what I'm looking for. As for price range anything up too 200 is fine and I'd only be willing to go above that if they are going to blow me away.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Edit: some others I'm looking into

Yeah, don’t go to sleep with them in.
1More Triple Driver used off Amazon. One of them seems to be new, but with damaged packaging, not sure.
Thanks again Amazon have them for £85 here which looks like a pretty good deal https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B01KB9K9Z0/ref=cm_cr_arp_mb_bdcrb_top?ie=UTF8&amp;th=1&amp;psc=1
Instead of the 1more quad drivers get the 1more triple drivers which are around £90 here
Jaybird X3s seem very popular on Amazon - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01M7NCT5O
My GF just found a pair of Plantronic fit and we cleaned them up and the controls are very nice.
EDIT: I have a pair of Kanoas on order and I'm hoping they are all the hype.
If cost isn't too much of an issue I've heard great thing about Jaybirds: https://www.amazon.com/Jaybird-Bluetooth-Headset-iPhone-Android/dp/B01M7NCT5O/ref=sr_1_1?s=wireless&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1499219855&amp;sr=1-1&amp;keywords=jaybird
I am going to assume a wireless priority because cable gets in the way during workouts in my personal experience. Considering the sporty application, you'll want a pair of IEMs. As far as the bluetooth IEM market goes, active noise cancellation usually comes at a higher price point and are mostly found on TWS pieces. Most bluetooth IEM use passive noise cancellation and that is sufficient enough in my opinion. I have tried active noise cancellation on sporty wireless IEM (Case in point Jabra Elite Sport) and the results is rather eerie because the active noise cancellation is so good I end up being able to hear my own panting/heartbeat with no ambient noise. The recommendation I would give would be either the Bose Soundsport, Jabra's Coach series, Jaybird's X3, or Jaybird's freedom. The bose one sounds best imo if you don't mind the bulkier earpiece and extra weight. If you don't care much for the V-sound model, the other 3 on the list are all pretty neutral. The best part is that they are all under $150 USD.
Jabra also has the Pulse, which is similar to the Bose soundsport pulse if heart monitor and a fitness app is important to you.
If you are looking for a truly wireless sporty in ear headphone I would recommend Jabra's Sport Elite, but do be aware that like most other TWS they have a short battery life. From my personal experience the UI on the earpiece is a bit hard to use but you do get used to it eventually. The reason I recommend them is because they are the most secure in my ears during workouts, as compared to other TWS such as erato's apollo 7 (which does sound better imo). It's unfortunate apollo 7s fall out easily :(
Once you hit the $30-$40 price bracket you'll likely never have to replace them again. $100 and you're getting awesome sound quality along with longevity.

I'm actually considering IEMs rather than the over ear ones. Thinking either SE215s or RHA 750s. Any input?
sorry slipped finger I meant [RHA MA750] (http://www.amazon.com/RHA-MA750-Isolating-Headphone-Warranty/dp/B00ELAM8LE)
Budget - $100-$150 (although my max is $200 if they're that good)
Source - iPhone 5s
Isolation - Sound can't leak because I'll be using them in school. They're going to be my go-to for being in public so this is pretty important.
Type - IEM
Past Headphones - NAD Viso HP50. Love these headphones but I need something I can use in public since they look a little silly. Sound wise the're great although I'd like it if they were a little warmer. I also have the apple ear buds but they're extremely uncomfortable and always pop out of my ears when walking. Also, they don't sound that great.
Preferred music - I'm really into hip hop right now (Kendrick, Kanye). I like alternative music as well and some rock when I'm feeling it.
Additional Info - After checking around on reddit and innerfidelity I've narrowed it down to the Shure SE215 and the RHA MA750. I like that the 215 has such good isolation and base (plus they look cool) but the 750's seem to have better sq overall. The build quality is important too since I can guarantee they'll be seeing some abuse. I'm really looking for a fun IEM so if there are any better ones in my price range please comment and let me know. Thanks for the help!
Recommend me an IEM... I was thinking one of the following:
RHA T10i
RHA MA750
Shure SE315-K
Shure SE215-K
What is the best headphone for the price? I would prefer good isolation and I usually listen to hip hop & 90's alternative and the occasional house. I have ath m50x and sounmagic e10 would I like but want an upgrade. I normally wear them at work, gym, or around campus.
Hi guys I'm asking this again as last time I only got one response and I'd like just a few more opinions. I was recommended these which are slightly above my budget BUT if they are exceptional I will get them (RHA MA750 Noise Isolating Premium In-Ear Headphone- 3 Year Warranty https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00ELAM8LE/ref=cm_sw_r_awd_06hNub032M8NR
They are $120 off amazon, here.
Budget: up to $150 (Preferably under $125)
Source: iPhone5, MacBook Air
Requirements for Isolation: Excellent. This is the biggest challenge for me--I am a university student who struggles immensely to focus with background noise. I would like these to be my number-one tool to zone in.
Preferred Type of Headphone: IEM or closed over the ear, more preference for IEM in order to use while exercising as well.
Preferred tonal balance: Balanced. I do not want the bass to be sub-par, but am not terribly picky.
Past headphones: Nothing fancy. When in need, I borrow my friend's Audio-Technica ATH-M50, but those do not block out noise enough for me.
Preferred Music: Jazz, Classical, and Indie/Rock/Funk
Location: California, Usa. (Library, bookstore, dorm in which conversation is happening, coffee shops)
I was considering the Etymotic Research HF5 or Shure SE215-K but am concerned that they will not last longer than a few months, as the low-star rating on Amazon suggest.
Alternatively, I am considering the RHA MA750 but worry that the bass will be lacking and the sound will not be balanced--also, the Amazon reviews don't acclaim their noise reduction at all, which is very important for me.
Many thanks!
Quick question -
Is there a sound difference between the RHA MA750 microphone version?
http://www.amazon.com/RHA-MA750-Isolating-Headphone--Warranty/dp/B00ELAM8LE/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1451669504&amp;sr=8-2&amp;keywords=rha+ma750i
Shit is getting expensive here. I managed to buy my pair of m50x for 120 not that long ago on amazon.ca. But I doubt you will be able to find them for that price now.
I can list a few options for you based on popular products.
Closed headphones:
Sennheiser HD 280 PRO
They are 112 right now, so a good deal. The only thing with them is that they are super analytical, so they have a very flat response.
Audio Technica ATH-M40X
The little borther to the m50x. Still a good pair of cans. A little less bass but still have the same sound stage as the m50x. Going for 130.
Open Headphones:
Audio Technica ATH-AD500x
These are a no brainier if you want them for gaming. Open sound stage really makes for good location accuracy. Still great sound quality for other uses. They are super open, so they won't be good for walking around. 130.
In Ear:
RHA MA750
No one will argue with these. They sound amazing, come with all the tips you could want. Have a great sound stage for in ears. A little pricey at 150 but so worth it.
Shure SE215
I loved these. I used them until they fell apart, then I upgraded to the MA750. Warm mid forward sound. I would recommend getting some comply tips for them. They go for 125.
Over ear : ATH M40-X ( buy refurbished to save some cash maybe) get these pads for better comfort
In Ear : RHA MA 750i ( 3 year warranty ) / Pinnacle P2
https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00ELAM8LE/
Yes they do http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00ELAM8LE
I recently bought these; https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00ELAM8LE/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1
They are smaller than the HF5s and I like how the cable routing is over your ear so you are less likely to pull the phones out of your ears when installing helmet.

These are pretty comparable to SE215 IMO. Nice metal construction, but no replaceable cord. My roommate owns them and he prefers them over SE215's. I prefer the 215's.

/r/headphones has some good resources if you want to get in-depth. Even has some linked pre-made lists with price ranges and detailed reviews.
I've got a pair of these Sennheisers, they were the first IEMs I bought for running/jogging/biking and I really like them.
I just recently got some RHA MA750i's and they're also very nice. I'm thinking I might need a portable amp to get the most out of these, though. They're probably better than those Sennheisers I linked but I don't think my phone is an ideal source for them. Maybe it's just in my head, I don't have the best ear for this stuff. I'm by no means an audiophile.
EDIT: I think I was just wearing the wrong size ear tips on the RHA MA750i's. They're sounding much better now.
I don't remember how long it took on this particular pair, but I do know it was significantly less stressful and less hassle than replacing the tips on my IEMs with Comply tips.

Hello all, wall of text approaching.
Budget - $100-$150 MAX
Source - Retina Macbook Pro, Iphone 4s. No amps here.
Requirements for Isolation - Moderate to High Isolation. I'll use these at work with one headphone in.
Preferred Type of Headphone - IEMs,
Preferred tonal balance - Balanced with a lot of bass/sub bass. (not really balanced I know, but the rest of the tonal range is important to me)
Past headphones - Meelectronics M6P's these have nice bass, but not the best over-all sound quality. Astrotec AX-35. Picked these guys up on a recent Massdrop.The bass is a little flat on these guys, but everything sounds really nice, IMO.
Preferred Music - EDM, Rap, Alternative, Rock, etc. A lot of bass-heavy stuff.
I'm leaning toward the Shure SE215's and the RHA MA750i's. I know I'm looking for clear bass and sub-bass. But mids and highs are important to me too. Some of the pairs I've had in the past will either put bass center stage leaving the mids/highs muddy or distant, or visa versa. I like everything sounding clear with a lot of bass presence.
RHA's warranty is a big plus to me. And I know that the SE215's have been known to fail.
Any thoughts?
Thanks in advance!
Budget: $100 USD

Type of Headphone: IEM
Requirements for Isolation: Moderate to high - primary use will be for gym use and running. They'll also be used on public transportation or libraries occasionally.
tonal balance: Neutral or slightly warm.
Past headphones: Philips Fidelio X1
I am currently considering Shure SE215-K Live Sound Monitor and RHA MA750i Noise Isolating Premium In-Ear Headphone with Remote and Microphone. Does anybody have experience with either? Which would you recommend? If not either of these, what do you think are the best IEMs with my criteria?
The automated purchase assistant suggested the RHA MA750s. Definitely a great start to what I want, but I'm looking for a few different aspects.
Pros of RHA MA750s: Solid construction, built in mic, over-ear design (I don't mind a straight if it's built well, my ear canals just get very sensitive when the monitor and cable are being supported by silicone and friction instead of using the pinna to help support)
Looking for: Extreme durability - can take moderate abuse, especially humidity and being quickly coiled up and shoved in a pocket. Choice of housing color - Brass/Gold or Wood preferred. Willing to take a decent hit in quality for the above.
TL;DR I'm really looking for a $25-$75 EDC over-ear IEM that can handle some tough love while maintaining better quality sound than a $15 pair of Skullcandy from Walmart. Don't worry, I'm coming back in a month or two to ask about real high-quality Over-Ears
Edit to fill out template
Budget: $50 +/- $25
Source: Mostly Galaxy S7, rarely desktop with decent but still on-board audio driver
Isolation: As much as possible preferred but not a dealbreaker
Public: Yes, ~75% of their use
Type: IEM over-ear, IEM straight only if they're well-known for being very comfortable
Balance: V or Bass (I think, see below)
Past: Only "real" IEMs I've had before this are Marshall Minors (discontinued recently, current ones falling apart, looking to upgrade a bit and not be paying $20, $30 for brand name). Current desktop over-ears: Logitech G930 (I fell for the wireless meme, pls forgive me, I regret my decision)
Music: Pretty much anything where vocals are nonexistent, extremely clear, or secondary to the instrumentals - Classical (especially Baroque), Dubstep/EDM, Rap before Drake and mumbling, mellow classic rock (later Beatles, Pink Floyd, Eagles, Grateful Dead, etc), ambient hipster rock, occasionally select 2000s pop for nostalgia reasons.

Preferred Type of Headphone - IEM's only.
Preferred tonal balance - Balance and Clarity. NO weak bass
Past headphones -Skullcandy iems (20 bucks from 7 years ago), g930's
Preferred Music - House/EDM/Dance Lot's of Illenium and TheFatRat
What would you like to improve on from your set-up - Quite Balanced preference. Lacking bass is a nono, however.
The MA750's are currently on sale for 90 bucks and look like they're right up my alley. I am looking to buy them asap, so as not to miss the sale. I took the assistant quiz and came up with the Shures and the Etymotic HF5 but just wanted to compare. Thanks for any input!
Alrighty basically within music you listen to there are 3 main components i guess: Bass, mids, and highs. These components are what make your music and each instrument or sound fits into one of these categories. With beats, the reason they were "liked" was due to the headphones increasing the amount of base you hear. This meant that you were not getting an accurate representation of what you were actually listening to. For $200 you can get a great pair of over ear headphones brand new that let you hear exactly what the music sounds like with nothing getting changed.
TL:DR-Beats are bass boosted and not an accurate representation of your music. Buy either Audio Technica ATH-M50x's for over ear or RHA MA-750-'s for in ears
I like the RHA 750i. Comes with several in-ear adapter pieces so you can get the best fit and sound. The quality of the cable is stainless steel, so that will help with durability and headphone cables do not get tangled easy.

These RHA MA750i's are what I bought my girlfriend for christmas after researching (mostly on reddit) for good quality, not crazy expensive earbuds. The shape is unique but she loves them and they sound great, better than my Bose MIE2i's. She's only had them a month now, but when I've handled them, they felt well-built.
Looking for IEMs that can stand up to abuse - stuffed in pockets, accidentally sat on, etc. I've yet to have a pair of headphones last more than 2 years or so without breaking. My last pair, RHA MA750i worked out mostly because they had an awesome return policy, but the warranty is expired and I'd like to have a nice pair that I don't have to worry about replacing. Over ear preferred, mic and android-compatible remote would be a plus but not necessary.
TL;DR:
IEM, over-ear preferred. Something that can stand up to abuse. $100-200 budget. Mic/android remote a plus.
Where do you see that? I'm seeing $130:

These ones? I dont really use them for my phone (got them for my music player) but testing them works fine for calls, however the volume +/- doesent appear to work. I also brought them in june 2015 so not sure if theirs a new version or anything
Just get a pair of RHA headphones. They're made of stainless steel, have a three year warranty, come with many different ear tips, and have excellent sound quality.
I have not personally used them for working out, but from the reviews, they would be perfectly fine.

I don't have much information about earbuds with working remotes or controls, but I can tell you that the 3.5mm jack for headphones is pretty low quality compared against "media-centric" phones, so don't worry about sound quality too much, for music, unless you're going to get something that takes a straight signal from your USB-C port. Going from my M8 to the Pixel was really disappointing in terms of sound quality, so I bought a DAC that I plug into my USB port and it sounds much much better.
I personally use a pair of RHA earbuds, but my set has no controls for volume and no mic for calls or anything, so I can't tell you if the controller version works with the pixel, I'm sorry.
What do you think of the RHA MA750i? I saw them mentioned in the headphones recommendations wiki. I like that it's over-the-ear.
If you want actual sound quality I'd check these out. RHA makes some good quality stuff and they have a nice 3 year warranty on them too. They should work just fine I think.
Morning /r/Headphones. I'm trying to get some bluetooth headphones for travel and general use with my tablet with a tight budget. Here are my requirements:
Budget: 50$
Source: tablet/laptop (microsoft surface pro 3)
Isolation: The more the better. I'll be using these headphones for outside work and school. However, i know that $50 isn't much, so I'll take what I can get.
Prefered type:Full sized
Tonal Balance: I honestly don't know, since my knowledge on this matter is zero. I guess general balance would be good?
Past headphones: ATH M30, loved it. Logitech G230, loved it as well. I had others, like skullcandy IEMs. Never had a bluetooth headphone before however.
Prefered Music: Rock (like linkin park, within temptation, icon for hire), Kitaro, Dubstep (along the lines of Butterfly by bassnectar), a lot of celtic (Loreena Mckennitt, gaelic storm), Chanting-like songs (such as anything sang by Gregorian Chants), etc. I have a wide range of tastes.
I would also like them to be comfortable, since i'll be using them a lot.
A quick amazon searched showed be these two headphones. The only thing I know about them is that they're the right price, and people like them. That's really about it; I don't understand what they mean by driver size and wattage output in real-word performance.
Any suggestions?
I have a pair of these Photive Bluetooth headphones and they work fine for what you are describing. I've set them as the default headphones in my windows htpc and when they turn on, the audio goes through the headphones and when they turn off the audio reverts to my speakers. Only thing is sometimes the app i am using needs to be restarted so that it can identify the headphones as the new default audio
https://www.amazon.com/Photive-Wireless-Bluetooth-Headphones-Battery/dp/B00HTPHK5W/ref=sr_1_6?s=aht&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1469135441&amp;sr=1-6&amp;keywords=bluetooth+headphones
I was looking at the Photive BTH3 headphones. I want to stay under the 50 dollar range. I know I won't get awesome quality sound for this budget, but that's what I have to work with. Also, I have 4 gauge tunnels in my ear, so I need headphones that are more oval-shaped for comfort.
Has anyone used these headphones or have other headphones around this budget to suggest?
I'd go for a nicer set if you can, these are fairly uncomfortable for long sessions. Maybe something like this would be better
This might be slightly more headphone oriented but I'm looking at getting a blue-tooth audio RX/TX so I can listen to TV/Music late at night without bothering my housemate through our thin shitty walls.
The only experience I have with blue-tooth audio is with the Sony MW600 that uses Bluetooth 3.0. I've found it has a very noticeable impact on audio quality even through Samsungs Oem headphones and my cars stock system.
Was bluetooth 4.0, 4.1, 4.2 a big jump in audio quality?
4.0 RX/TX for $24 Lacks Pass through charging so not extremely interested but still an option
4.1 RX/TX for $34 This supports pass through charging so I'm leaning towards this.
My Galaxy S7 has bluetooth 4.2 and my desktop has 4.0.
As I understand it 4.2 adds a big jump in transfer speeds but I'd imagine that my mostly 320kbps library with a few flacs, Spotify premium and the stereo output from my TV is is well under the transfer speed of even 4.0.
I'm not listening through super high end gear. Wired will be the cheap yet awesome Beteran KZ ATE w/ Mic and an inexpensive pair of in-ear bluetooth headphones like these or a also cheap but good over ear set. I need to do a little more research into bluetooth headphones but right now I'm focused on which bluetooth TX/RX to buy. Leaning towards in-ears since their more portable.

/r/headphones seems to recommend these $70 over ear bluetooth headphones or these $27 in ear bluetooth headphones. As far as I can tell most of those ~$25 in ear headphones are pretty much all clones of each other with mostly the same internals and user interfaces.
__
Not looking for the best bluetooth set up I don't have the money for it. But I don't want to notice and regret the drop in audio quality every time I go wireless over a 3.5mm cable as I do with the MW600.

Originally I had decided on the Sennheiser 598's, but I'm not sure if I want to spend that much on audiophile headphones that could have a stronger bass. I'm looking for a somewhat stylish pair. The Audio Technica M50's seem like perfect headphones, but the look isn't the best.
I was thinking about getting these:
http://www.amazon.com/Photive-Bluetooth-Headphones-Battery-Includes/dp/B00HTPHK5W/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top
Also does Bluetooth limit how much audio is driven to the headphones more than a wired pair would?
I guess they're $40 now but they're still solid at that price

I bought a pair of headphones specifically for just use at the gym while lifting and have had no issues over the last year (https://www.amazon.com/Photive-Wireless-Bluetooth-Headphones-Battery/dp/B00HTPHK5W). I make sure to wipe down the pads after each gym session.
I just had this same question. I landed on these: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00HTPHK5W
Really happy with them for $50. The battery lasts over 12 hours (I haven't charged it in six days of mixed use, as of now). They are comfortable, over the ear, Bluetooth connects well and has decent range, and they come with a hard case.
The one complaint on Amazon is that the charging port comes out with some units, but they have a year warranty and seem responsive to complaints.
Honestly this is the best fifty bucks I've spent on a gadget in a while.

Preferred tonal balance: Pretty overall balanced. Will be used for arranging acappella songs, so I really want multiple notes played at once are at least somewhat distinguishable.
Past headphones: I currently have Koss QZPRO noise-cancelling headphones. They're really comfortable, even with my glasses, and they have a balance that I like. Unfortunately, I got them used, and within a week the cable broke and the right speaker stopped working, but the sound I do have is kind of muddy (Jimmy Eats World's The Middle is a good example for when it gets muddy). I don't use the active noise cancelling.
Before then, I had JLAB's cheapo earbuds. These kept breaking on me, and I stopped using them, but the sound quality was okay IMO.
Other than that, I've used apple earbuds (uncomfortable), and various other cheapo earbuds, where my biggest issues with them were always that the different instruments were almost indistinguishible, the vocals sounded "foggy," and they broke easily. These were not good earbuds. I do not use those earbuds any more.
Music: Primarily pop, also acappella music. These would be used for watching television on my laptop, arranging acappella music, and just general listening.
Other considerations:
A couple pairs that I'm considering is the Photive BTH headphones,MEElectronics Air-Fi Stereo Headphones, and maybe possibly the JLAB Bombora headphones, though I'm iffy on the last one, just because of my previous experiences with JLAB's earbuds.
Am I being crazy, or unreasonable? Any personal thoughts on any of the headphones I'm looking at? Any other suggestions?
Thanks!
These are my favorite wireless headphones I've personally tried. They are on the higher end of pricing though. A cheaper set of Sony's is still great too. If you are looking closer to the $100 area, my brother has these and likes them a lot. If you really want to go cheaper at first though, Unbox Therapy did a review on these and really like them
Are these them?

Thanks for the more info! Is the bass is bad as the frequency response graph makes it out to be?
I had overlooked that they had stereo -- whoops!
Do you have an opinion on these AF62's competitors?
Photive BTH3
BÖHM Wireless Bluetooth Headphones
Assuming you have the ATV4, most Bluetooth headphones will work. You can find a ton on Amazon, like these:
Photive BTH3 Over-The-Ear Wireless Bluetooth Headphones with Built-in Mic and 12 Hour Battery. Includes Hard Travel Case. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00HTPHK5W/
https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00HTPHK5W/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1510111614&amp;sr=8-1&amp;pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65&amp;keywords=photive+bth3&amp;dpPl=1&amp;dpID=41ZAnQEvXVL&amp;ref=plSrch
These are the ones I use, held up really well over the 8 months I've had them and the sound is decent

these are cheap and have a great sound quality.
Photive BTH3 Over-The-Ear Wireless Bluetooth Headphones with Built-in Mic and 12 Hour Battery. Includes Hard Travel Case. are the best headphone for the price range I have ever owned, they work wonderfully with my vita and are like the perfect combo for them . $40
I use these for everything except while driving (obviously). They serve me really well, and have a great battery life and good sound quality.
Only downside is that it's kind of weird to hear your phone calls in stereo..
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00HTPHK5W/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1
Photive BTH3s have been my go-to bluetooth headphones for more than a year now. Great value for $40.
http://amzn.com/B00HTPHK5W
This is the one, as far as I know.
People say they're neutral, but I think they are super bassy. They're fun, but get ready to feel like your brain is being scrambled.
Like other have said, don't bike with these though. Come on man.
Kz without a doubt makes the best headphones for the price (and even above to an extent). I have the Kz ATE IEMs and they are nothing short of amazing. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00Y0F6IBG/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_.fPfAb7H7YCNM
These earbuds: https://www.amazon.com/Earphone-Headphones-Running-Eartips-Microphone/dp/B00Y0F6IBG
They're cheap and sound good. If they break or you lose them just buy another pair.
Budget - 25$
Source - phone/pc with 3.5mm jack
Requirements for Isolation - Yes please. I tend to be in locations of excessive noise.
Will you be using these Headphones in Public? - yes
Preferred Type of Headphone - in ear earbuds, must have the little gel thingies. Cannot be over-ear unless they can fit in a small pocket.
Preferred tonal balance - I'm not a huge basshead, but I do love bass.
Past headphones - Skullcandy ink'd 2. Stupidly weak bass. They are quiet comfortable tho, and the gels aren't too loose. They are, however, very poor in durability. One accidental tug and the buds stop working. Even the little mesh is fixed with weak glue.
Preferred Music - General electronic music, particularly hardcore. Deadmau5 is a good example of highs and lows, I listen to his stuff a lot.
What would you like to improve on from your set-up - Better overall sound. I want to minimize the use of an equalizer.
I'm looking at a couple of promising earbuds. Anybody recommend one of these?: HC-RET, KZ ATE, Panasonic ErgoFit.
Oh wow, that's a really good price! I looked them up and found these 2 kinds. How are they different. https://www.amazon.com/Earphone-Headphones-Running-Eartips-Microphone/dp/B00Y0F6IBG and https://www.amazon.com/KZ-ATE-Balanced-Earphones-Headphone/dp/B00YOVI6UW.
My guess was that the first one is better because of the added mic and more/better reviews. But I don't know. Thanks!
Realistically, your goals at that price point is impossible. Best pair of bluetooth earbuds I've used come in at around $100 - $150, and the best sub $50 earbuds won't be bluetooth.
If you're set on bluetooth, this is the highest rated one I've found for sub $50. I won't recommend it, nor can I guarantee it will sound any good, but it's an option.
If you can sacrifice BT, Chinese IEM's dominate the budget market. KZ ATE's come in at around $13 and sound damn good for that price. /r/headphones should have more recommendations + impressions.
Soundmagic e10, I have owned a pair of these for almost two years and they basically look new. Very durable headphones. They show up over and over again in budget iem recommendation guides and for good reason. Very detailed clear non fatiguing sound. I had been trying different iems for over a year when I got my pair, they are all I use now. These get my strong recommendation.
https://www.amazon.com/SoundMAGIC-Noise-Isolating-Earphones-BlackGunmetal/dp/B005HP3OB0
Second set is KZ ATE. These have been getting rave reviews and are only $11. I just ordered a pair so I can't comment on the sound but they're only $11, how can you go wrong? Honestly you might want to just buy both iems then you'll have two sets and only be $50 in. Good luck.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00Y0F6IBG/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1486597345&amp;sr=8-1&amp;pi=AC_SX236_SY340_FMwebp_QL65&amp;keywords=kz+ate&amp;dpPl=1&amp;dpID=413j%2BHZGByL&amp;ref=plSrch
Any hacks for getting over-the-ear wires to stay over my ear when I'm walking? I picked up a pair of KZ-ATEs this week, which are great, but I can't get the wire to stay put.
I was thinking of getting some sort of moldable tubing or something, but I think that would become uncomfortable with time.
Any ideas are appreciated!
r/headphones is a better place to find information on this. What is your budget?
Here is a buying guide.
https://www.reddit.com/r/headphones/comments/8unekv/community_guide_2_favorite_headphones_under_100/

https://smile.amazon.com/KZ-Earphone-Headphones-Running-Microphone/dp/B00Y0F6IBG/
Head over to r/headphones. They have a purchase assistant in the pinned post. I found everything over there very helpful. Everyone has to start somewhere and I looked the options in the purchase assist and got the kz ATEs since I don't even know what I like I figured I'd try narrow it down in the budget category then slowly find better options. That said I'm VERY happy with them. As the comments go, way to good for the price.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00Y0F6IBG/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s01?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1
Yeah, then I'd say get the VSonic VSD3S or KZ ATE
If you want cheap, and pretty decent, check these out. Dont let the horrid English turn you off, these are pretty good. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00Y0F6IBG/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1504392394&amp;sr=8-1&amp;pi=AC_SX236_SY340_FMwebp_QL65&amp;keywords=KZ+ATE+Copper+Driver+Ear+Hook+HiFi+in+Ear+Earphone+Sport+Headphones&amp;dpPl=1&amp;dpID=413j%2BHZGByL&amp;ref=plSrch
Mee Audio M6 Pro is what I use. It comes with a stupid amount of accessories and punches way above its price class. It sounds better than my $200 Audio Technica ATH-M50x over-ear headphones.
The Zero Audio Carbon Tenore get a lot of hype at /r/headphones if you decide you don't like wearing the cable over your ear, but the carbon fiber look can be a bit divisive.
Yeah, active noise cancelling headphones cost a bit more than other consumer grade headphones since it's a pretty big Back of the Box feature. The very best in isolation is going to be in the form of IEMs. I can understand not wanting to have things jammed in your ears all day at work, but if you find a pair with a good fit for you, they can block out everything, especially with a comfortable foam tip. Maybe check out the Mee 6 Pros and pick up some Comply foam tips if the silicone tips are uncomfortable for you. Really, a good tip can make a big difference on any IEM. I have a preference for foam, but those have to be replaced a bit more often.
If you'd rather a full sized pair, there are a few options, but since you don't care too much about sound, the important thing to look for is clamp force and the pad material. Clamp force is pretty obvious, you want tighter for more isolation. As for pad material, leather/pleather with soft foam or memory foam inside is gonna be the best for blocking out outside noises.
As for recommendations, I would probably look at the Audio Technica ATH-M40X, though the ATH-M50X do go on sale for $99 occasionally. I only mention that because I've read more opinions on the M50Xs because they're a bit more popular around here.
Now, as a disclaimer, my recommendations are largely just based on things that are spoken of positively around here, but since you don't care too much about sound, the important thing is fit and comfort which can potentially be found on an off-brand headphone for cheaper, but not knowing how your ears and head are shaped, that's something you'll have to figure out as you go. At least Amazon has a pretty forgiving return policy.
I hope that helps and feel free to ask anything else you might be wondering about.
These are one the best pair of earphones money can buy under $50.
I own a LG V20 which has a Quad DAC. I mainly drive them with my Sennheiser HD 598 and looking for a earbud companion. I mainly listen to hip hop, but I'd like something good across most genres like my 598's. What do you think of these products and how do they compare against eachother?
MEE M6 PRO
ATH E40
Shure SE215
Need headphones for the gym, biking, and running. I have been using multiple pairs of Sennheiser CX300 II over the years, but they keep breaking, and I've finally had enough. I want something that I won't have to replace every year or two. I'd prefer something similar around $30-60 that is more durable. I don't need something incredibly nice (just nice enough) as these are just for listening to music while I'm doing other activities. I run along roads so they also need to isolate noise as well as the CX300s. Also, I'm in the US.
I'm thinking the MEE Audio M6Pro for $39.99 on Amazon right now? Its all time low is $36 so I feel that's a decent deal.
What would you recommend more for running/exercise?
The New vSonic VSD3S or the MEE Audio M6 Pro?
I think I'm kind of set on the VSD3S because of the ear guides and I found them for only $38. But if the M6 Pros have much higher sound/build quality I may consider buying those along with an ear guide as well.
I made my choice! Huge thanks for the help!
Hey i have been looking for a relatively inexpensive (<£50) pair of Iems, as the cable keep getting worn out, as i walk, pretty long distances every day. (cant seem to stop the cable from fraying as i move)
Last pair of headphones i had was a pair of Vsonic Vsd3s, i liked the sound a lot. I have been suggested these two, any suggestions?
https://www.amazon.co.uk/MEE-Earphone-Replaceable-Universal-Microphone/dp/B015S2I6A0?th=1
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Technica-ATH-IM50-Dual-symphonic-Monitor-Headphones-black/dp/B00FWGU10G
I've been using the M6 PROs for the past few months and I love them. Definitely check out /r/headphones for more recommendations.
Looking for some earbuds with detachable buds (?). I've been looking at the mee m6 pro's and the Shure 215's, although the shure's seem a bit pricy. Any other suggestions?
if you keep breaking $20 iems then maybe getting a nicer pair with a detachable/replacable cable would be a good idea, it could actually save you money in the long run
this could be of help
personally, I would recommend the Mee M6 Pros
I basically listen to spotify on my iPhone all day long and I want an upgrade. I've used Apple Earpods and some sony buds. I am interesten in these but they might be overkill. Please give your recommendations. Love you ;)
I have seen those around a little, they look good from what I can tell. First generation or second generation though? From the description, the 2nd gen is said to just have "better sound and build quality", and while there's not many reviews on the 2nd gen, they seem to have come out just recently.
Did you ever think to try wearing noise isolating headphones/ear buds like a lot of drummers wear to take away some of that extra “piercing” you speak of...? Probably could have saved you on selling a good set of top quality cymbals. Not that I don’t love meinl cause I just changed up my whole set up from sabian to meinl a couple weeks ago due to looking for a different type of sound not due to a sound annoyance.
MEE audio M6 PRO Universal-Fit Noise-Isolating Musician's In-Ear Monitors with Detachable Cables (Smoke) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B015S2I6A0/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_nkCQAb2DD0KVS
Price: ~$50
Usage: Play games like PUBG, Rainbow 6 Siege, CS:GO and need an in-ear headphone.
Reason why I don't use full headsets: I can't wear ordinary headphones because they hurt my head and make me feel uncomfortable (I tried a few). So I need to settle for in-ear earphones.
What I found so far: I have narrowed my search down to these two based on the following criteria
>Bass: Low
>Mid: Neutral/Emphasized
>Treble: Emphasized
>I used this site to compare:
>https://sites.google.com/view/headphoneadvice/iem-earbuds/category-100?authuser=0
The two earphones I made a shortlist of are:
_
Zero Audio Carbo Tenore
Zero Audio Amazon link
____
and
Mee Audio M6Pro
Mee Audio amazon link
_____
They are both listed as the sub $100 IEMs that have decent ratings on Amazon (a good estimate for durability) and feature the following (which seems to be best for gaming apparently):
>Bass: Neutral
>Midrange: Neutral
>Treble: Emphasized
>Isolation: High
I was hoping if someone could help me choose between the two or at least refer someone to me who knows about IEMs?
I am looking for something on a budget that will allow me to hear footsteps and small movements in game. Also something that is relatively durable for the price and won't break down on me within a week.
Budget:€0,- to €70,-
Source: Huawei Y5
Isolation: Don't mind hearing the outside world but i would prefer the outside not hear me.
Preffered type of headphone: Over ear iem (like shure se215)
Preferred tonal balance: Balanced
Country: Netherlands
A few iems i've looked at:
MEE M6 PRO Price: $48,88 +$20 Shipping
the t.bone EP 4 Price: €55,- + €10,- shipping
Fender CXA1 Price: €39,- + €10,- shipping
I got a pair of these recently and they are incredible for the price! https://www.amazon.com/dp/B015S2I6A0/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_25zsybB8ERYBW
That's okay. Haha yeah IEMs are In Ear Monitors, where the tips are inserted into the ear canals unlike earbuds where they sit outside.
ATH doesn't make great IEMs and you'd be better off with other brands/models.
If you're a massive basshead, I'd recommend the Rock Zircon. Some of the most comfortable IEMs I've used under $800, great build quality and sound that performances above it's price.
If you want something more balanced sounding I'd recommend the Dzat DF-10.
If you liked over the ear IEMs, you can pick between the Mee 6 Pro or the Tennmak Pro.
Many people enjoy fun sounding signatures instead of balanced tones. A V shaped sound signature boosts the bass and highs slightly which can make it more dynamic or fun. The 1More Single Driver/Double Driver and Xiaomi Hybrid are some of the best for that budget.
Look into these. Might fit your bill.
Looks like I will need to find another pair.
Any idea how these sound?
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B015S2I6A0
You can't go wrong with the MEE M6 Pro headphones. They come with detachable cables and tips. I have had mine for a couple years now and still haven't had to replace the cable or tips yet. They sound fantastic and work great. You can't get them with single or dual drivers but the dual will be a little more expensive but still relatively affordable compared to other headphones.
I've got a combination, I use these Anker ones most of the time at work, £25 quid and the bluetooth works well. The short cable and carry case should give you less chance to break them.
I also have the M6 Pro (although I paid more like £40 when I got them. They have a nice sound for the price and fairly good noise isolation.
At home I prefer over the ear headphones.
What about the German Amazon?
They have them listed for 38.37 (Euro)
https://www.amazon.de/gp/offer-listing/B015S2I6A0/ref=dp_olp_new_mbc?ie=UTF8&amp;condition=new

Wondering if you’ve used these $20 Bluetooth earphones or tried similar ones?
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B018APC4LE/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_uIlbAb93DS7XJ
For earphones I’ve always used the Apple wired earbuds. I’ve used decent over the ear monitoring headphones from Sony and AT so I have a baseline.
I’m curious if cheaper Bluetooth ones can produce accecptible sound for on the go and sport listening, or should I just go for the Apple AirPods.
I did try using a $15 battery Bluetooth receiver with my wired Apple EarPods: while the connectivity was strong, the audio was very different.

How are these for must listening to music. I might use these for some exercise too.
These seem to be on Amazon's best sellers so I am wondering what you guys think of these.

Also, i updated the original link to a newer listing with updated details
I need some bluetooth earbud recommendations. Ive dug around Amazon and other subreddits for around half an hour and there are just too many options.
I just need a decent budget pair of bluetooth earbuds that has acceptable audio for its price. My budget is <$30. Im only going to be using these for listening to music (Im not an audiophile) and watching Youtube. I currently own a pair of Panasonic ErgoFit In-Ear Earbuds. Ive had them for about a year and they work great. I just get annoyed by all the wire.
So here are some options off Amazon that I'm considering. If you know that any of these are trash, please say so and I will take it off my list.
Again, these are only ones that Ive looked into. I need some other recommendations.
I rock these in the gym and while running. They're sweat resistant, comfortable, wireless, and they've lasted me going on 2 years. Good sound and bass for a $20 set of earbuds.

GS5 -> Pixel 2 user here: Originally I was worried about the switch to dongle/BT but it honestly has not changed a thing for me. I switch between both Dongle and BT without any issues with sound quality, etc. I have a pair of Otium BT headphones (https://www.amazon.com/Headphones-Otium-Waterproof-Sweatproof-Cancelling/dp/B018APC4LE) that have not failed me in terms of connection (with a smart watch also paired), sound quality, or battery life.
i lose/break headphones more often than they break on me so i went cheap on my last pair and they do the job just fine

I don't really know what the difference between the first two is to be honest. I was using soundpeats before but these are cheaper so I'm hoping they are good options. What is the best among these? Also sorry if this is the wrong sub to post in.

I really enjoy these ones
Stay in, sound good, affordable price 👍🏻
I dunno man, seems like there a few options right on the first page of Amazon. Half of them are even billed as sport/running headphones. Up your budget by $5 or $10 and you get an even bigger selection.

I use these
but they suck for calling, hearing calls. great for music. but everyone that calls me says they can hear the background noise (hammers drills etc) better than me.
I see they became Amazon Choice in the meantime. They just seemed good at the time, I'm pretty happy with these. They're definitely nothing special.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B018APC4LE/ref=oh_aui_i_sh_in_o1_img?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1
These are pretty good for $20: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B018APC4LE/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o07_s00?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1
Those look pretty good, definitely higher quality then the ones I bought. The battery life on these ones is pretty good, usually last me a whole week on a charge. But having the over the ear portion really helps I think, because I dont have any issues with them being pulled out when I bench or anything else.
The brand name is Otium. These are pretty close to the ones I got, if not exactly. I apparently have weird ears that buds don't like to stay in, so I have a hard time finding a decent pair of small headphones.
Noticed the line behind your username, "1More Triples?"
I was actually looking into those here:
https://www.amazon.ca/1MORE-Triple-Headphones-Microphone-Titanium/dp/B01KB9K9Z0/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8
What do you think?
1more triple driver in-ear headphones, the best audio quality under $100 can get you!
I just bought these earbuds, any other to suggest me or any better when it comes to sound/audio quality for the future?

They are pretty great, and still work perfectly.
I bought these a while back. I think they sound pretty good for the money.

TL;DR: Which in-ear headphones are preferred for CSGO?
___
&nbsp;
I use G933 & I am happy with them, but I also want a solid in-ear headphone that has a decent mic on them.
&nbsp;
During some of the LAN tournaments, I noticed that Razer Hammerheads are popularly utilized under bulky isolation headphones. But are there other option without obnoxious colors?
&nbsp;
I own 1MORE Triple Driver In-Ear Earphones, but the mic picks up excessive background noise while I'm trying to make callouts in-game, (most likely b/c it doesn't have specific software driver to handle audio-input).
&nbsp;
&nbsp;
I assume that people who use POCO will also have tight budget. SoundMagic E10C is one of the best bang for your buck in-ear headphone at around $35, 1More triple driver is next on the list with heftier price tag at under $80. There are plenty of review for these two so don't for get to check it out yourself.
You can't go wrong with either one of these:
I own both, they're fantastic and under $100. The latter option is amazingly good if you are on a budget. TBH I thought they were going to suck due to the price range, boy I was wrong. The construction is solid, they sound pretty good and I would dare to say, maybe on par with my ATH m40x if it wasn't for my sound card.
The first one is still under $100 and is a moderate bump, superior than my ATH m40x and now my main ones . The sound is rich and crystal clear, less bass heavy yet moderate for the music we listen to.
Edit Fixed product links.
Yeah a discount code would be great thanks, its just i found these via amazon -

Which in total is $124ish AUD vs Jabens $174 which doesnt include shipping

I'm assuming you want the same style of headphone, not full size ones.
$70 1more dual drivers - these used to be cheaper...
$95 1more triple drivers
$350 FLC8s with red/black/gold filters
I wanted to buy this for so long but settled for the TFZ 5 series, cheaper lol
I've found this combo completely isolates me from any external noises:
The Bluebuds X Sports have great battery life, volume controls, and a microphone like most bluetooth headsets while the Comply tips dramatically reduce external noise.
A little more than $100, but I have an older version of these and I love them. My SO has this updated version and also loves them. You can turn on and off, pause, play, skip songs forward or backward, and volume all from buttons on it. I have tiny ears so normal earbuds are difficult to keep in my ears but I have no problem with these. Comes with three different sizes of buds and the in-ear wing things.
Budget - $150 - $200 CAD, $250 MAX
Source - I phone 5 SE and computer
Requirements for Isolation - Yes prefer Isolation. Using while traveling on bus, walking, at school (can get noisy sometimes). Using while studying
Preferred Type of Headphone - Over ear preferred unless IEM is very comfortable.
Preferred tonal balance - I like Bass but for studying it can get annoying, so balanced I suppose?
Past headphones - cheap OEM earbuds (Samsung, apple) and KZ Zs3
Preferred Music - Deep House, [Rap]

Requirements for Isolation - Some. Not a huge priority, but nice to have for public transit.
Will you be using these Headphones in Public? Yes
Preferred Type of Headphone - IEMS or portable over-ear. Possibly bluetooth if there are good options.
Past headphones - MEE audio M6 PRO Liked the sound quality, but they didn’t fit very nicely in my ears, despite trying all of the tips that came with the box.
Brainwavz Delta Black IEM
Again, liked the sound quality, but the buds themselves seemed to be too fat to fit into my ears, even with trying all the tips they gave me.
[Panasonic RP-TCM125-K] (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00E4LGVUO/ref=psdc_172541_t1_B00L2459ZO) Really liked the fit for these. If possible I’d love to find something similar to these in fit, but perhaps a higher quality build or sound quality.
https://www.amazon.com/Sennheiser-HD-598-Cs-Headphone/dp/B01JP436TS Also really like these, but I’ve found that they are too bulky for general portable use.
Preferred Music - Wide range. A lot of quiet female vocalist indie music, as well as a lot of fast and loud ska/punk music. I also listen to a fair amount of spoken audio, such as podcasts and audiobooks. I listen to hip-hop as well, but not as much as the above.
What would you like to improve - As stated in the past headphones section, I am looking to improve the fit of the IEMs that I get. The panasonic ones fit so well compared to the other IEMs I’ve had in the past, so I am looking to get something with a similar fit, but with a better sound stage. Also, I’m looking to try Bluetooth IEMs if anything comes to mind with these requirements, but if not, regular IEMs / over-ears are fine for me.
____
I’ve been eying these: https://www.amazon.com/Jaybird-Bluetooth-Headset-iPhone-Android/dp/B01M7NCT5O and these: https://www.amazon.com/Panasonic-Bluetooth-Headphones-Controller-RP-HJE120B-W/dp/B071R6VX9Q for bluetooth iem options, but as far as I can tell the reviews for them do not seem completely stellar.
I was also looking into ATH-M40Xs as a portable over ear option, but I’m not sure if I want to sacrifice having a microphone on my main pair of portable headphones.
Thanks. I have no Apple devices so I would not be able to use the AirPods. Do you know of any good ear buds? These ones https://www.amazon.com/Jaybird-Wireless-Bluetooth-Sports-Headphones/dp/B01M7NCT5O/ref=pd_ybh_a_2?_encoding=UTF8&amp;psc=1&amp;refRID=HZNDP0W3WF476N1BKSF7 look pretty solid.
I was very ant-wireless headphones, then I got a pair of jaybird x-3's, can't go back now. They cost a lot, but the protocol implementation is excellent, connects to up to two devices straight away when booted, like instantly. Gets 8 hours playback for 30 minutes charging. I'm converted. No going back for me.
So, I'm hoping to pick up a pair of fairly premium workout bluetooth earbuds. (USA)
This is fairly targeted, but wondering if it's a good deal - I've previously had jaybirds and think they're ok, but not sure if I should hold out for the Bose ones maybe? Not sure if they'll go on sale though!
It's 20% back for amazon card holders (instead of the regular 5%), and the Jaybird X3 is right at $100, which would go down to $80 with the 20% back. Link below for all the 20% back items that are currently listed, as well as the headphone. According to CamelCamelCamel, these haven't gone below $99.99 before.
Feedback appreciated!

Jaybird X3
Bose Soundsport Wireless
If you are looking for bluetooth, then yes, there are some good options out there. I love my Jaybird X3's and I would love to get a pair of Blue Satellites, but they are a bit over priced imo.
If you are talking wireless PC headsets, then the only ones worth their salt is the Steelseries H Wireless, it has a new name now, but I am too lazy to go and find it. I don't see the appeal of having your headphones die in the middle of a long gaming session. The H Wireless has a work around for that unlike other popular headset like Corsair's and Astro A50's.
Correct. Now they are on the 3rd gen models: Jaybird X3 Sport They usually go on sale for $99.
Type: Wireless in-ear
Budget: around $100
Source: Nintendo switch (via bluetooth adapter), PC, phone
Requirements for Isolation: it would be nice but not critical
Will you be using these Headphones in Public: yes, public transportation and such.
Preferred tonal balance: balanced, a little bit of bass wouldn't hurt.
Past headphones: in-ear cheap skull candy wired did the job
I've been looking over a few options and i've stumbled upon these:
$37 SENSO Bluetooth Headphones - great reviews
$130 Jaybird X3 - recommended by a friend, quite pricey
$80 ADV Sound Model 3 - hardly any info online though
I'd love to hear your opinions and other recommendations :)
Thanks!
Hey! Nothing but good things to say about the Jaybird x3’s! https://www.amazon.com/Jaybird-Wireless-Bluetooth-Sports-Headphones/dp/B01M7NCT5O
Oh I was wondering what so special about the "pulse" thanks! I don't care at all about heartrate monitor.
Ahh I can't decide! The Jaybird is 20% off essentially today only because of prime day. However looking at the price itself it's only a $34 difference between Bose and Jaybird so I'm torn between the 2 since I don't care much for that difference. I don't care about bass but perhaps I might be interested in fuller audio
Bose Soundsport or Jaybird ahhh I can't decide!!!!!
Which one should I go with? I'm having trouble deciding :(
For wireless: https://www.amazon.com/Jaybird-Bluetooth-Headset-iPhone-Android/dp/B01M7NCT5O/

There's nothing wrong with the Beats you picked, especially if you're looking for wireless headphones. However, in terms of sound quality, Beats in general are overpriced for what you get. Nothing wrong with them though. This is what I use when I'm gaming or watching movies: https://www.amazon.com/Sennheiser-HD-598-Over-Ear-Headphones/dp/B0126HISOO
Also amazon, oos but you can still order: https://www.amazon.com/Jaybird-X3-Sport-Bluetooth-Headphones/dp/B01M7NCT5O
Heres a link to the LG Tone Active Stereo Bluetooth Headset - Black https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01KIPIZSK/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_Jb8VAb9332VHC (right now theyre $60 instead of $117)
Ive been using a pair of these for almost 3 years now. The active sits firmer around your neck, so its been great for the gym and such. If you want a looser fit just go on amazon and search "lg tone" or go to their website to get the full run down on the differences, then buy them on amazon. Theyre good middle of the road headsets, but naturally what you pay for is what you get. They have higher quality models that sound good for iems. Through personal expierience there hasnt been a single second of lag on these babies when im watching or listening to anything. They also have an app that allows texts and such to be read out to you while your phone is in your pocket. Theyre a pretty solid pick.
If you arent into the neckband thing (i thought it was odd at first but grew to love it because its easier to just retract the buds but still be able to feel that you have the headphones) Another option with good marks is the Jaybird x3 for about $130 Jaybird X3 In-Ear Wireless Bluetooth Sports Headphones – Sweat-Proof – Universal Fit – 8 Hours Battery Life – Blackout https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01M7NCT5O/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_wo8VAb2M4Q7PT
My dad has a set of these and enjoys them.. mostly. Its easier to lose because the headphone wire is all that connects them. Also my dad had a pair of x2's die rather quickly. The customer service reps were nice but they went on to send him the wrong replacements twice. As a sorry though, they sent him a pair of the updated x3's for free so take that as you will.
I just picked up these Jaybird X3's on amazon https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01M7NCT5O/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apip_sFTjQmBwBixiE based on a r/bifl recommendation... first trip to the gym today, and they are great. A bit quiet. Also hurt my ears a bit, but they stay in so I don't mind too much.
Jaybird x3 or x4.

Shure SE215 BT1
Jaybird X3
Admittedly, I have the Jaybird Bluebuds X, not the X3 - we're at 4 years now, and they still sound great and last 4 hours on a charge. The left ear always fell out... until I got Comply tips. Now they're perfect.
That said, I have very small ear canals, so Shure headphones are ALWAYS more comfortable for me than others, like the Jaybird, that have a large-ish nozzle. My SE215s are wired, but I've heard great things about the bluetooth model... and am about to purchase it myself.
These ones?
https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01M7NCT5O/ref=dp_ob_neva_mobile
Jaybird X3 is a super solid competitor.

Here's a link to them.
I've had these for over a year now, and they've held up great for the cost.
Yeah! These are what I like to use, but I'd only recommend them if your grandma is technologically-inclined since they are bluetooth connection only. I like the bluetooth/wireless option because I am constantly changing positions trying to get comfortable, so no cords = no hassle. I can use them in any position, even when I'm laying down on my side with one ear on the pillow they are still comfortable for me. If you think she is more likely to use the headphones while sitting up/not laying down, the kind that go over your ears with soft ear cups are what I'd go with, but I don't have a recommendation for that style since I don't have a pair. You could try researching over at /r/headphones, I'm sure they know much more than I about headphones/earbuds, especially regarding price vs quality and things like that. Best of luck!

I love these headphones. Cheap priced and great quality sound.
As far as the headphones go, I wouldn't buy anything too expensive. I bought https://www.amazon.com/Bluetooth-Headphones-TaoTronics-TT-BH07-Waterproof/dp/B06ZYX6Y1T and removed the little ear clips. They're fairly comfortable, the back of each earbud has a magnet so they stick together, and the battery lasts 8+ hours. I originally bought them as a backup pair for a more expensive pair, but to be honest I like them better than the more expensive ones.
I have problems with earbuds staying in my ears too, but I’ve had good luck with these

They have three sizes of ear pieces and hooks so you can get a good fit. As it turns out, my ears are slightly different sizes, so I have to use different sizes for each.
https://www.amazon.com/Bluetooth-Headphones-TaoTronics-TT-BH07-Waterproof/dp/B06ZYX6Y1T

TaoTronics TT-BH07 are great and even a great price.
I have these TaoTronics in ear and now these Cowin over the ear. Would recommend both.
The Cowins are even on a lightning deal right now!

Also heard good things about these
Gym time is me time. Put on some head phones. I recommend investing in some bluetooth ones and just get pumped up and immersed into your workout. I've heard some people that do better with podcasts, but I personally need something upbeat.
I’ve used these for a year or so and love them for disc golf and general exercise:

Only $26 and tbh they sound better than $130+ BT headphones I’ve owned (Jaybird X2s and Jaybird X3s). They’re super reliable and use a standard micro USB port for charging.
I can absolutely recommend these ones. I've know others to have them as well, all are impressed. Perfect for work are they're magnetic so you can just clip them around your neck easily.

I had a pair of TaoTronics BH-07 which I really liked and used every day. Unfortunately they just quit working last week after 9 months. They were cheap and I was really rough with them so I'm not too upset.
I just got the TaoTronics BH-16 which I like even more because they seal into my ears better and the wire is thinner so it doesn't snag when I turn my head.

I have had these for more then a year for working out everyday they blow my jaybird x2 which broke and freedom f5s out the water.
Been a Xiaomi earphone user for about two years. First with the Piston 3 and now the Xiaomi Hybrid's. I also use an AudioTechnica M40X at home.
On that note, I am now looking for a bluetooth option. I'm starting gym tomorrow and I really need something convenient with good enough battery life and most importantly, sound. since I don't understand much about earphones, I've decided to ask you guys for an opinion.
For what I've seen on amazon, some of the best sold/best overall rating are some of these:

Budget: 200-350
Past/current headphones: ATH-M50x's for a few years.
Relevant features: bluetooth, noise-cancelling (not necessarily active... not sure how much of an advantage that is?)
Eyeing: Sony WH1000XM2's and Bose QuietComfort 35 II's.
Concerns: Not a significant improvement over M50x's. New upcoming models blowing current models out of the water -- M50x still works great so not in a rush to get a new pair.
Reason for purchase: Tech nerd, I like not hearing people (thus noise cancelling), bluetooth convenience, future-proofing for future phones/computers without 3.5mm jack 😢

Here's what I think can help you. There isn't really a good solution for you that isn't hard to do. I got my own room over time by convincing my parents. There are some things you can do.
$350 Bose QC 35
$350, $298, Sony WH1000XM2
$250 Sony XB950N1
$30 earmuffs - these are cheap and block out noise.
The advice is very hard to follow, so take it a step at a time. Get headphones or ear mufflers first which will be a huge improvement to your mind if you don't already have active noise cancelling headphones. Remember to get active noise cancelling headhones because they really block out the noise. Then try to start using your dad's room to do things, which will probably work. You're limited in what you can do in someone elses room, but your mind is more free. Then try to convince your dad to switch rooms, which may or may not work. If it doesn't work, tell a therapist or psychologist about your problem. I don't know the best advice for you, which is why you should see one of those professionals. The ultimate goal is to move out because that will really free up your life.
I still think it would be good to answer these questions. Are the auditory problems caused more by ambient noise or voices, or the feeling of having no barrier around you or something else or multiple things? Do you only live with yourself and your dad? Does your dad know and accept that you have Asperger's? Realistically, a lot of this advice won't work. Please reply to me with what happens when you try these solutions.
i'm really, really loving my sony cans. great sound, ambient sound mode is clutch for the workplace, and the touchpad functionality works better than i expected.

First item.
Budget - Under $50
Source - Android phone
Requirements for Isolation - Do you need a lot, some, or none Maybe some? I'll be using these for working out at the gym, so blockage of whatever is playing in the gym would be great.
Will you be using these Headphones in Public? Yes!
Preferred Type of Headphone - IEM.
Preferred tonal balance - Probably balanced/ no preference.
Past headphones - iPhone default headbuds (Especially the ones they started making with iPhone 5 or w/e); I tend to go through headphones at a very quick rate as I just destroy the cable, and they tend to offer the most longevity.
I'm buying from outside of the US, so not everything ships my way.
I'm currently looking at both the [SoundPEATS Magnetic Wireless Earbuds] (https://www.amazon.com/SoundPEATS-Bluetooth-Headphones-Sweatproof-Earphones/dp/B074THH5Q2/ref=zg_bs_9059092011_1?_encoding=UTF8&amp;psc=1&amp;refRID=9EMF5Y3JW95J99QAERHH) and the [Otium Wireless Sports Earphones w/ Mic IPX7] (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B018APC50Y/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=AG626CFCJIK88&amp;psc=1) but I'm open to other suggestions!
Soundpeats from amazon! I’ve had them for over a year and a half, and they still work great. Amazing deal for under $30. I use them almost every day. Currently have them around my neck. Each earbud has a magnet behind it, so they attach and form a necklace. Totally comes in handy if you don’t want to keep them in a gym bag and then forget them. They cancel out most noise, too, so it’s cool for blocking-out bothersome chatter and noises from other gym-goers.
Not sure how cheap is cheap but...

I currently use these which I got on sale for 20 bucks, I think. Battery is pretty solid. They usually last me at least 4-5h. Battery status shows up in the android quick settings, sound is decent. At full volume the high end is a bit sharp so I turned that down a bit in Spotify EQ, but other than that they sound really nice. Not too bass heavy (which is often an issue with cheaper headphones). Also a good fit and they came with a nice little pouch for the headphones and a small charging cable. I can honestly recommend them.
Try soundpeats on Amazon. They are decent and cheap. Good warranty service.

I've always used affordable off brand one off Amazon. I've tried Anker, Tao Tronics, and SoundPEATS. Tao Tronics batteries died within a year. Anker has some quality models, as well as Aukey. The SoundPEATS have been my favorites. Sound quality is above average. Battery life is about 8 hrs. The magnetic clasp is now required for me. So convenient to keep around the neck.
A model of Jaybirds we're on sale for $50 on Black Friday at Best Buy. Maybe just buy a cheeper pair until a deal comes around.

Hope that helps! I stressed over all the options and high cost of some brand. Ultimately, I found models like these work just fine for me. Cheep enough that I don't feel bad if they get lost or stop working.

I’ve had these for over a year. Solid sound quality and like a 30+ foot range. Still no issues after all that time.
Woah, $150 for what is essentially these, these or these? When will people figure out that adding a shiny coating to something, calling it premium and jacking up the price is not innovative.
99% of the time Best Buy will have the same price as Amazon, and might even price match. The only downside is they might not stock as many.

I've had some that are 3x the cost and these still last longer.
You should try out some new stuff, they have improved a lot. The separate sides like the airpods are still new and buggy but you can get stuff like this which are pretty good
I can't speak for any of the brands you mentioned, but I highly recommend taking a look at SoundPEATS. Affordable, and have been pretty damn awesome so far. I just recently bought a 2nd pair because I liked them so much. Great sound, great fit.

Honestly, I've tried a lot of headphones for running. Expensive, cheap, all different styles - the best for me are the cheapo $30 pairs from amazon. I'm not afraid to break them and they sound fine for running. I bought 3 pair like a year + ago thinking they'll probably break sooner than expensive ones and i'm still on the first pair.
On this pair right now. I also have the Anker ones which are better quality but I haven't needed them yet as the first pair hasn't broken yet.

Tremenda calidad de sonido para el precio, buena autonomía (como 8hs).
Son los mejores rankeados calidad-precio en Amazon, super recomendables.
Ah y hasta tienen microfono y se puede hablar, no funciona perfecto pero es útil si estás en la movida y no podes agarrar el celular. Tremendos auriculares para entrenar, tienen también almohadillas de silicona para cancelación de ruido y suenan de verdad que son una bomba.
Podcasts, audiobooks... I like the Dax Shepherd and Conan O'Brien podcasts. Any good history audiobook, the Dan Carlin Hardcore History podcast is great. They have to engage my brain just enough that I don't think about running, but not so complex that I have to strain to understand.
I use "hook" style sport headphones that are bluetooth, but have the batteries and controls built in to the headphone and not the wire. The wire just hangs. These are my current, favorite, set because they have noise isolating memory foam inserts. and are only $20 but I keep an eye at out 5 below or TJ Maxx/Marshalls for headsets that are sub $20 and meet my basic criteria: Hook style so they don't fall off... no dangly box on the wire that bounces and increases cable stress.
I have 4 different sets I keep in gym bags, vehicles, coat pockets etc. Chinese sites like banggood or gearbest also have really cheap headsets (if you can wait 6 weeks). I have found the $10 (or less sometimes) and $20 headphones are nearly as good in sound quality as super expensive headsets... mostly because they come out of the exact same factories in China as the same expensive headsets. Since I use these for running, they don't have to be Sennheiser Orpheus/HE1's which cost $54,000, the road is too noisy, bluetooth doesn't really allow for ridiculous fidelity, and I am cheap.
I liked the Mpow Flame Sport IPX7 Waterproof, they would coil up pretty small and for $20 they have pretty good drivers. 4 stars on 15k reviews. The only thing I'd complain about it if you're outside in the wind (or bicycling) then they get irritating wind noise (goes away with a hoody). I wanted a better microphone for voice calls but they're great for listening.
I like these. Cheap and they've held out for me so far. I'm not huge on sound quality and all that, though
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0753GRNQZ/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o09_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I recommend these, similar to the Beats Wireless.
I'm a rather sweaty person and I wear Mpow Flame headphones when I run, and they're great. Like, I'm sure audiophiles wouldn't be happy, but they play my music and podcasts and keep me happy.
Get some of these and block the sound out. Blocking the sound out or avoiding it is really your only option.

Are these legit T2's? https://www.amazon.co.uk/LINSOUL-TIN-T2-Earphone-Headphones-Silver/dp/B07DL2FPBL
How do you listen to your phone? Headphones, speakers, built-in speakers? These are good over ear headphones, but they are open backed, meaning other people can hear what you are listening to.
These are good in ear phones, well within budget. There are dac/amps to power speakers and/or headphones, or active speakers that contain dac/amp, or bluetooth speakers, none of which I can offer much help with.

So I'm in the same boat as you - plan on buying the next oneplus model, looking for new bluetooth buds/iems. Keep in mind, I'm not sure if these are available where you are, but it was suggested to me to look at TIN Audio T2 which come with a detachable cable, and also pick up the TRN BT3 bluetooth cable to use with them. That might be stretching your budget, but that's one of the options I'm looking at. Also considering the Aukey Latitude set and Shure SE112 (on the very tip top of my budget). Not sure how much I like the "collar" on the TRN BT3.
Just not sure where to land, so I'll be following this thread hoping to get some ideas myself!
Technically, this is more of a r/headphones question, but I'll bite, too.
Tin Audio T2
Seriously, genuinely fantastic IEMs/headphones. $45-50, they use MMCX connectors, so you can upgrade them to wireless if you want to/when you have the cash.
I can't recommend the headphones enough. Honestly, they sound just as good as my Grado SR80e... and that hurts me to say, given the Grados cost twice as much. The only thing the Grados have on my T2's is a slightly better soundstage/depth of sound. That's it. Period.
Just buy them. https://www.amazon.com/TIN-T2-Dynamic-Earphone-Headphones/dp/B07DL2FPBL

Thanks for the reply. By "tin 2" are your referring to this?
these have been amazing for me as a starter into good quality audio
https://www.amazon.co.uk/LINSOUL-TIN-T2-Earphone-Headphones-Silver/dp/B07DL2FPBL
if IEM are an option: Tin Audio T2
If you like bass: cover the vents under the foam tips with a piece of electrical tape to turn them into bass beauties
Recommended upgrade: a new MCXX cable because the original is kinda crappy
I've been using these IEM for a while now and they're best headphones I've owned.
My 30 minute real-time impressions:
&#x200B;
I think if you like the signature of the T2, you’ll like the T3. It drops the treble and the bass response seems more apparent and fuller given the lower treble response. In general, they sound similar enough except for the lower treble, which is now controlled by a BA and not the DD.
It’s still a brighter IEM, but not as bright as the T2 Pro.
Some sibilance in “Teardrop” and Liz Fraser vocals in the massive attack song. Bass sounds much better than T2/Pro.
“Unfinished Symphony” - the intro hits hard now with better rumble.
“You and Tequila” - Kenny Chesney’s voice sounds really nice. More fuller than previous iterations. Guitars sound slightly harsh but doesnt bother me too much. (see CL2 for what bothers me)
“Miles Away” - Krysta Nicks - strings sound nice and detailed. Voice is a little harsh and a tad sibilant.
“Pearl Lakes” - U137 - Sounds good to me. No vocals, so no sibilance/harsh vocal issues. Fuller sound than previous.
Ok that’s my real-time ramblings for now.
The Tin Audio T2 IEMs are $50 and sound good. They also use MMCX cable connectors, so you can replace the wires with a Bluetooth band if you'd like.
https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B07DL2FPBL/
https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B07B1WGQ4F/
Note that the T2s' nozzles are pretty wide, so if you have narrow ear canals they might not fit.
Any interest in IEMs? I recently acquired the Etymotic HF5s and they're hands down the most noise isolating monitors I've ever tried, and with sound quality to match full sized $100-200 headphones I've had. It really depends however on your tolerance for shoving something way up your ear canal.
Either a HiFiMan RE400 and recable them or an Etymotic HF5
They are neutral and pretty good for all genre.
I would consider noise isolating IEMs or earbuds instead. As a practical matter I think it's better to just separate your ears from noise rather than pumping more noise into your ears to cancel out other noise. I use these $8.00 Panasonic earbuds at the gym and they work pretty well.
I also own the $99 Etymotic HF5 IEMs. I bought them exclusively for air travel even though I almost never fly... still totally worth it. The noise isolation is incredible for the price.
I love my Etymotics in the gym. The noise canceling is near-perfect, the cable is just the right length and clips to your shirt, and they never fall out of your ears. The sound quality is awesome as well. They might feel weird at first if you're not used to wearing earbuds deep in your ears though.
Check this rating post out at headfi
I love my Etymotics, and if you later want to spend the extra $$ and get custom sleeves (worth it) you can. That'll really kill the external noise. Way better than active noise canceling imho.
I own a pair of Etymotic HF-5s and they are great! The earbuds you get with them are difficult to get used to, but they block out noise extremely well.
I love my Etymotic hf5s but they're in-ears and not earbuds, if you hate that style. I also like the Klipsch Image S4 earbuds, and various Shure earbuds as well. All of these will run you anywhere from like $50 to...well, the sky is the limit.
My hf5s were somewhere around $100 when I got them about a year and a half ago and probably another $15 in maintenance costs since then, and they were replacing older Etymotics also around $100 that lasted a few years before one half of the headphones died and I couldn't be bothered to get it repaired. Much better sound quality than the likes of skullcandy and apple headphones, and since I rarely lose these things, I don't have a problem paying more initially to have a good product for longer.
I actually meant to link these.

anyway do those ER3's go on sale for less? i really need the isolation soon and i know Etymonic is known for that. Might be willing to jump in regardless
You wouldn't be able to get "extreme" isolation with an on-ear pair of headphones. You need to either go IEMs or full-size.
If you want the best isolation, at your price range I'd go with some Etymotic IEMs like the HF5
Alternatively, if you prefer having closed-back headphones, there's not a LOT of options at this price range but the Audio-Technica M40x comes to mind.
Budget < $150 US

More info: Looking for a durable set of headphones that can survive being carried around in my backpack, so if it comes with a small case that is a plus. I've had the shure e2s since '06 and the right ear wire is finally splitting, and shocking me. They were pretty awesome headphones for the time and have held up wonderfully over the past 10 years.
I'm currently trying to decide between the Shure SE215 and the Ety HF5. I was sold on getting the shure until I saw they were bass heavy. Then I saw the HF5s which have good reviews but it looks like they have weird ear plugs which I don't know if they would fit.
I've looked through some of the links at the top and it's a bit overwhelming. Any suggestions to push me towards the se215 or the HF5, or a different set all together would be super helpful. Thanks!
> Shure 315
Hey thanks, i'll look them up. As far as no active noise cancelling features, I was always considering the Etymotic HF5. My concern with them in general is how well noise isolating works at drowning out the airplane drones vs. active cancellation?
I have a (too big) pair of NC headphones, but its wonderful when that background noise just fades away...
I use a set of etymotics. They're basically earplugs that also work as headphones. If nothing's playing I can hear loud noises (claps, yelling) but if there's any music on, I'm deaf to the world.
Here are the four I am looking at if you want to give your thoughts too?

You should probably try /r/headphones. For my part, I'd like to direct your attention to Etymotic Hf5's. Are you willing to buy used? These are over your price limit, but can be under. They get consistently excellent reviews across the board, and are generaly considered superior, mid-priced, high-quality ear buds. I myself have a pair, and it's delivered on all its promises, as in delivers a level of clarity I didn't know existed, at least not with my Skullcandy Ink'd buds.
I would recommend a good pair of in-ear headphones. The Etymotic MC5 and HF5 can be found for under $100. Both offer good isolation across most of the frequencies you'd run into, in-flight (engine noise, cabin conversations and acoustics, etc). Here is a comparison graph of the isolation offered by both. Both offer great sound, as well.
If you want cheaper (and slightly less noticeable by people around you), I'm going to recommend what I consider to be the best in-ear headphones, sub-$50: The MEElectronics M6. They're cheap, come with a range of silicone tips to ensure a good fit, comfortable, isolate well, and have wrap-around style memory-wire which not only keeps them securely in your ears, but prevents microphonics (noise caused by the cord moving or rubbing on things). Of all the in-ear headphones I have used, they're my favorite for everything from airline travel to jogging, to casual use. And they sound pretty damn good.
I use the Etymotic HF5 most of the time when riding, but I don't always listen to music while wearing them, sometimes I use them as just an earplug with no sound at all.
They're probably the most durable earbuds I've ever owned (now watch them crap out in two weeks having said this). I've owned them for over four years and have abused them not only on the bike, but I fall asleep with them in my ears quite often, and despite tossing and turning all over them throughout the night they still haven't quit on me.
I would prefer my Ety ER-6i's over them, but they died due to cable connection issues and I replaced them with the HF5's. Sound quality is greater on the ER-6i's, and I still have them laying around waiting to be re-cabled one day as a DIY project, but the HF5's have been pretty great as a replacement.
They're ugly as all hell, but they sound great, are comfortable and are fairly cheap at $36.
Sennheiser PMX 680
They do go around the back of your head and get a little misplaced when doing bench, but it hasn't bothered me really
I have the Sennheiser PMX 680 Sports Earbud Headphones which I love. They never fall off my ears and are light enough to never cause trouble.
The only problem I've found is that my bangs can get fall in my face and it's hard to tuck them back when I'm wearing the headphones, but that's all I got.
I have used these for a few months now. Even in rain and heavy sweat, they stay solidly in-ear.
edit for weird link placement
Try these instead, then. They can break away.
Sennheisers! I have these and they've been perfect over approx 20 races over the past year.

For running, they work well with an arm pocket. They do tend to get knocked around when I lay down to bench press.
I've got these sennheiser pmx680s. http://www.amazon.com/Sennheiser-PMX-680-Discontinued-Manufacturer/dp/B0034L3G8U. They work great never had any issues with them after running a couple 5ks or 3 years of working out in then. Lightweight and decent sound I'd say.
http://www.amazon.com/Sennheiser-PMX-680-Sports-Headphones/dp/B0034L3G8U
They are light, stay in place and sound great. They still allow for ambient noise.
I do two things:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0034L3G8U
This works well for me.
I bought these Sennheisers. The cord is short and it works perfectly with my arm band (there's an extension for a waist-band). They also sound great.
If you are riding bike a lot, I would advise against sealed IEMs. IT will block out too much noise and that can be dangerous.
Check these out, they sound tolerable but are fine for riding/running around town. http://www.amazon.com/Sennheiser-PMX-680-Sports-Headphones/dp/B0034L3G8U/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1341756385&amp;sr=8-2&amp;keywords=adidas+sennheiser
I picked up these a while ago. They're really light, stay perfectly in place (even with sweat and rain), and are borderline waterproof (not saying that you should test them out in a full bathtub or anything, but they're designed to survive sweaty runners). They even have pretty decent sound quality (better than iPhone ear buds, but definitely worse than the pair I rock when I'm not running)!
There's a new version with a built-in mic and remote that works with the iPhone/iPod Touch, but it wasn't available when I got my pair, so I can't vouch for it.
Sorry, endomondo, but I think I can contribute to the discussion ;)
It depends, I use a belt (Deuter Neo belt 2) if I wear my running shorts that have no pockets.
I don't like to wear these shorts on cold easy runs though, so I usually just have it in my shorts. No problems with my Galaxy Nexus.
If it's raining I take a sponge with me and place put it in there to avoid too much water on my phone..
As for the headphones: Sennheiser PMX 680. They have a good sound (for running at least) and a good grip. If I am in the city you can easily take them out on crosswalks without fighting the cords to much.
I use these and love 'em.

Hi,
I started running to compliment my hiking training. Now I do hiking to compliment my running training. I fell in love and was in much of the same boat as you are: where do I go from here?
I decided to do a half marathon to keep going. My first half is this Saturday and I followed (Hal Hidgon's novice training program)[http://www.halhigdon.com/halfmarathon/novice.htm].
Also, I had the same problems with headphones. I ended up getting these:
(Sennheiser PMX 680 Sports Earbud)[http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0034L3G8U/ref=ox_ya_os_product]
I can't vouch for them yet, because they're still being shipped, but there are a lot of good reviews.
In-ears plus over-ear protection is a good combo, but over-ear protection attenuates different frequencies by different amounts, muffling the highs too much and making the lows "boomy" and unnatural-sounding in my experience.
Most USB mics are not going to have the needed range to handle the volume of a drum set without clipping.
The setup I used was as follows:
Etymotic MC5s which give a good balance of isolation, sound quality, and cost-effectiveness.
A used Shure SM58 for the overhead mic. SM58s are legendary mics, basically indestructible, and an industry standard. They're also plentiful so finding an affordable one shouldn't be too hard.
A Behringer Xenyx 802 mixer. Quality on these is just average, but they're affordable (again, buy used if you can). You'll want one with at least two XLR mic inputs for reasons I'll explain in a bit. You'll also need something like this to plug an audio source into the mixer.
I was mostly happy with the above but wanted more bass drum (owing to the "boominess" I mentioned earlier). I ended up getting a dedicated bass drum mic, though there are cheaper bass drum mics out there, and another SM58 would probably work just fine. Your son might not end up needing it, but I recommended getting a mixer with 2 inputs just in case. You won't spend much more for a mixer with the additional input.
http://www.amazon.com/Etymotic-Research-Isolating-In-Ear-Earphones/dp/B003S3RFIQ
Get these, and for all things audio, please dont get those crappy Monoprice buds, unless you want to buy them repeatedly when they break. They will NOT last while working out.

Klipsch X4i,MEE Audio M6 PRO,Zero Audio,Etymotic Research MC5
Thank you.
I agree that even just standard ear plugs will make for a much more enjoyable ride. I always smile when people start to wear them and come back to me and say "I'm amazed at how less tired I feel now after riding!"
I'll also second the Etymotics. They can be found on Amazon for less than $70. I love mine, although after the second 8-hour day my (small) ear canals tend to feel a little tender.. :-(
I am a fan of these Etymotic they are great at isolation but they are in-ear
http://www.amazon.com/Etymotic-Research-Noise-Isolating-Earphones/dp/B003S3RFIQ
I really like these as they cut out a ton of noise and provide good sound and I think they are comfortable.

Two of my other band members where them and say they are alright and another tried them and said they weren't comfortable. But all agree that they do great and cutting out ambient noise and providing good sound.
Try these. I use them for working out and they are amazing! They also have a higher quality version for 100 more. http://www.amazon.com/Etymotic-Research-Noise-Isolating-Earphones/dp/B003S3RFIQ/ref=sr_1_cc_2?s=aps&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1409461669&amp;sr=1-2-catcorr&amp;keywords=etymotic
If you want some thing noise isolating in that range, you'll find nothing more noise isolating than some Etymotic IEMs
No music, I use Etymotic ER20XS
For music, I use Etymotic MC5
http://www.amazon.com/Etymotic-Research-Isolating-In-Ear-Earphones/dp/B003S3RFIQ
How do these look?
Get Etymotic MC5
So, recently I was recommended the Etymotic MC5's by a user on this subreddit. However, I now came into a bit of extra cash and could afford the Detachable VSonic GR07 or VSonic GR07 Classic. Which one should I get?
I hadn't thought about IEMs, but I'm open to the idea. Are these the ones you're talking about?
Unfortunately noise canceling will not do you much good. Noise canceling is good for repetitive noise like engines. Random noise like talking it does not help much with.
What you need is good isolation. The best combo I can recommend is :
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Etymotic-MC5-In-Ear-Earphones-Black/dp/B003S3RFIQ/ref=sr_1_fkmr0_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1505847743&amp;sr=8-1-fkmr0&amp;keywords=Etymotic+Research+MK5

over the top.
I use an mp3 player and a pair of earplugphones nearly every day at work. Sometimes I use regular earplugs, but usually there's still enough noise leaking through to make it hard for me to concentrate.
The only problems I've had are when people try to get my attention from across the room; sometimes I don't hear them right away.
I bought these last summer and love them. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003S3RFIQ I cannot get over how much better they are than active noise canceling.
I use Etymotic Research MC5 Noise Isolating In-Ear Earphones (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003S3RFIQ/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1) and the sena headphone kit. Works great, I can still hear what I need to around me but these keep the ambient noise very quiet.
If you want to not only block out sound, but listen to music also - I would try getting these headphones :
Etymotic Research MC5.
They come with foam tips that expand inside your ear canal, and can function as ear plugs alone. However, you can also listen to music, and as you can see from the reviews these are very nice ear buds. I would definitely suggest this.
Etymotic MC5's deserve a look!!! Etymotic quality at only 60$
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003S3RFIQ?keywords=etymotic%20mc5&amp;qid=1453759443&amp;ref_=sr_1_1&amp;sr=8-1
ZERO Leakage Etymotic
Etymotic Research MC5 have been a life saver for me. They cancel out a good amount of background noise, so I can just hear my set but then also hear my guitarists feed through loud and clear. These also work great with just plugging them into a laptop or a mp3 player and playing along. I can't even begin to tell you how long I have been looking for the perfect in ear monitor for me, but these are about as good as they get for my personal taste.

Requirements for Isolation - Some (not a priority)
Preferred Type of Headphone - IEM
Preferred tonal balance - Basshead
Past headphones - I've only used Earpods for earphones, but I own and love MDR-XB500's.
Preferred Music - Punk, Pop Punk, Hardcore, Medalcore, Post Hardcore, some Hiphop, and lots of Podcasts.
I've got my eyes set on a set of Shure SE215's or some Bose IE2's. I need the IEM's for working and for my daily jogs. Sound isolation isn't a huge deal for me. I'm not a huge fan of headphones that have the silicone tips. This is where I'm having a dilemma. I really like the shape of the Shures, and my buddy who is a drummer is recommending them to me; but they still have the silicone tip that I'm not a huge fan of. The Bose have an alternative ear tip shape that I like, but they look really big and bulky. What do you guys think? I think I would be happy with either choice, but I think I'm leaning towards the Shures.
Bose IE2
They sound good, don't block outside noise, and they rely on the folds of your ear to stay secure. Which turns out to be my gripe, the fold of my ears are not as defined as most people, and they tend to drop out after a while.
I was using Snuggbuds, they sound great, but the cables are trash. Too expensive, and they only last a couple of weeks.
Budget - around 100€(~120 USD)

Past headphones - Bose IE2 (Link) since I used them for 3 and a half years without exception I cannot say what is particularly good or bad about them compared to others, maybe that they seem a little dull
Preferred Music - everything that includes guitars (Metal, Rock, Blues, Bluegrass, Country, Folk, ...)
What would you like to improve on from your set-up - a more durable cable

I have been looking at the Shure SE215K, the 1More E1001 and the RHA MA750. Would you say that one or more of them are suited for me? Of course, I would also appreciate other (in-ear)headphones. Thank you!
Look at some that hold onto part of your ear. Bose makes a pair that I personally think are great and don't wedge into your ear but instead hold onto the nooks of the Cartilage of your lobe.

The also make a sport version but its more expensive and besides being green I see no advantage to them.
I have cauliflower ear from wrestling, so finding earbuds to stay in my ear has always been difficult, but last year I bought bose IE5 inear headphones with my credit card rewards points. They are pretty pricey at $90, and most will say they are overpriced, but they've never fallen out, even when running and playing sports, and I think the sound is great. They even come with three sizes of gel earbud inserts so you can see which size works best.
Bose IE2's. The only headphones that will actually stay in my ears when I run/bike/lift.
I love my Bose... he probably listens to electronica and these have great bass
http://www.amazon.com/Bose-327279-0020-Bose%C2%AE-audio-headphones/dp/B003XU6H8I/ref=dp_ob_title_ce
I bought the Bose IE2 earbuds on a whim one day, and it was the best music-based purchase I've made since I bought my first CD in the late 90s, Abbey Road.
Incredible sound, VERY comfortable in the ear with the wraparound bud, durable, and very very crisp. To me, they're about as close to being as noise-cancelling as I would ever want an earbud to be.
Avenged Sevenfold - MIA
Stonebank - Be Alright
TIN - Ticking
Asking Alexandra - Moving On (Acoustic)
Seems like they are these.
I have the same issue and the Bose IEs are the best I've come across. The sound quality is adequate and the comfort is unbeatable, I usually forget they're even there. People like to shit on Bose because that's the cool thing to do but these are hard to beat comfort wise and the sound is up to par with most I've tested.
I have stopped wearing headphones while running, but I used Bose IE2 when I did. They are comfortable and have never fallen out. I was using some Shure before, but they would get uncomfortable after awhile and they ended up breaking due to carelessness. To be fair, I didn't really do any research into either pair, I just happened to have good timing and got them for free.
I have had many high end sets of headphones, but my current favorite right now would have to be my Bose in ears. (I bought them for 75 I think.)
To be honest the sound quality isn't fantastic, but the rubber molds that go in your ears are FANTASTIC. I couldn't care less if these were Bose headphones, but someone had a good idea and brought it to fruition. =)
I think that Bose headphones tend to be pretty solid, its their stereo speakers that really get to me. They just sound so small and lack depth of sound. Bose headphones are understandable. Bose speakers...eh.

Currently rocking some of these sennheisers and they're pretty sick. Only complaint is the cords is SO long. I catch it on fucking everything. Like when I bend over to tie my shoe or some shit the cord will catch on my knee when I stand back up. They sound great though. You can also get them in black/silver if you don't want that metallic red (I went with the black).
I used to have these Bose ones and dude, they are honestly the best headphones I ever had. Unfortunately mine got stolen and now that exact model isn't made anymore. The ones they sell now are the same headphones plus cellphone functionality and they're like $30 more or so.
I know people talk so much shit on Bose and how they're a rip off and I believe some of it (hence why I went with the often praised Sennheisers for my next pair), but honestly those Bose were the best 'phones I ever had. Maybe they just fit my ear perfectly but they had amazing bass, very clear sound, they were so comfy I would forget I had them on and that rubber wing looking design keeps them in your ears no matter fucking what. You think it will look stupid but that whole thing is invisible inside your ear so they look fine. You can run/jump/dance/anything with them in and they won't go anywhere. Very happy with my Senns but I will never not miss those Bose ones I had.
EDIT: I now understand you were looking for proper closed headphones, not in-ear. I prefer in-ear myself and if you ever want a good pair around the $100 range, check those 2 out^^
I had this exact problem until I bought these, because of the pretty awesome ear inserts they hold really nicely (also really great if your a runner and sick of ear buds popping out while running.)
$100
I have been looking for a new pair for myself. I can't seem to find a set that will stay put. Coincidentally enough, the ones that seem to work best for me are my old iphone ear buds - in-ears just seem to slide out.I do miss my Shure EC-2s though (cat ate them).
I've been looking at a few recommendations from /r/running including:

I assume he's talking about Bose IE2 In-Ear headphones. Here they are on Amazon.
I got them on sale at BestBuy a year ago for $80, and got a $10 or $15 two-year accidental coverage warranty through them. I flew to Europe that same day and was incredibly thankful I got them, because they were the first pair of headphones that I could comfortably wear while asleep and leaning up against a wall or pillow. They were also the first pair of >$20 headphones I bought, and there's no going back.
If you want to splurge I'd say these. A mid range for prices I'd say these. At a low price range I'd have to say these.
More than $30 ($100), but I've had these Bose IE2 earbuds for almost two years now, and they're still just as good as when I opened the package. Easily the best sound I've heard from earbuds.
http://amzn.com/B003XU6H8I
These bose headphones are great quality, comfortable, and most importantly durable. I wear my headphones (MEI2i) for 10 hours a day everyday in a machine shop and these have not broken down even slightly. Before these I went through about 5 pairs of $50 headphones that broke within a month or two.
Has noone mentioned THESE?? http://www.amazon.com/JVC-HAFX1X-Headphone-Xtreme-Xplosivs/dp/B004S7Q8CA/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1406024613&amp;sr=1-1&amp;keywords=jvc+xxx+earbuds
JVC Xtreme Xplosive line of earphones are my go to ones. They can last a year, sound great and only cost ~£15...though, that is on sale. They seem to cost £25 normally. Though, they are on sale a lot.
I got some of these - really impressed. Cheap as chips and sturdy as hell - they've survived being wrenched out of my ears and slammed into weights. Sound quality is nice too.
I just stick my phone in my pocket and run the headphones into my ears. Only gets in the way during deadlifts and shrugs.
Hi! first time posting, looking to buy a new pair of earphones, im not very fond of IEM but i think thats what i'll get since i plan on using it for music mainly, to follow the format
Source: ipod classic
Budget: up to 35$
Genres that i listen to: synth-pop, chiptunes, alternative rock and podcasts
i've been searching for one that is confortable and affordable, i dont expect to get the best experience, but i'd love to get the most out of my budget.
After looking at the lists the JVC HAFX1X seems like the one im looking for but im not sure that is the best for me.
Some background: i love my Sennheiser HD205 but after breaking the wires twice i've decided i need a smaller set of headphones/earphones to use it in the bus.
Check out the jvc hafx1x I've had mine for almost two years. They've been run over, rained on, gone through the washer and dryer multiple times and still sound amazing. They have great bass too and fit in your ear great.
I use Xtreme Xplosivs. They're easily the best quality earbud I've ever owned, and they're very reasonably priced. My old pair lasted 2 years before the left ear bud went out (probably due to the way I wrap them around my phone in my pocket without removing them from the port). They do get slightly uncomfortable after extended use - like 2+ hours of consistent listening.
I only really use earbuds because of their portability. When I'm at home, I use these Sennheisers which are very comfortable and sound great. Like you mentioned, they will mess up your hair and matt it down where the band goes over your head, but when I'm at home, I don't mind sacrificing my looks for comfort and superior sound, lol. Also, a quick ballcap usually satisfies the situation.

Ill prolly just save up and get a good $100+ set one day.....any recommendations for over ear /open ear?
buddy of mine has these but the wired version and they're not bad. :P
JVC Xtreme Xplosive earbuds - <$30
JVC Xtreme Xplosive over ear headphones - <$50
I have compared these to beats and there's very little difference. Beats have a bit more mid-bass, but it sounds almost muffled compared to the JVCs. Beats also have a bit more high range, but it's not $200 worth of highs. If beats were a 10, JVC XX is a solid 9.8.
They also last MUCH longer than skullcandy or apple earbuds. (The only ones I've managed to wear out multiple pairs of.)
First time visiting this sub, so hopefully I give enough details for someone to help me.
Budget - £50ish max
Source - iPhone and PC
Requirements for Isolation - Some. Will be used at home and travelling.
Preferred Type of Headphone - IEM I think.
Preferred tonal balance - I'm not sure to be honest, perhaps somebody could advise me based on my preferred music. Definitely not a basshead though.
Past headphones - http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B004S7Q8CA/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?qid=1409059657&amp;sr=8-1&amp;pi=AC_SX110_SY165
I liked the way they sat in my ear, they were comfortable. But were maybe a little loose. But they weren't very durable, broke within months both times, I had 2 pairs.
Preferred Music - Mainly women, so a higher pitch in general I think. Gabrielle Aplin, Nina Nesbitt, A Fine Frenzy, Sara Bareilles, Tristan Prettyman, Birdy. And the men I listen to are Ed Sheeran and Passenger.

Hey guys hopefully you can help me decide on my first good pair of headphones
Budget - $200,somewhat flexible
Source - iMac, Android smartphone
Requirements for Isolation - I will mainly use these at home, but I would still like isolation.
Preferred Type of Headphone - full sized
Preferred Tonal Balance - I am really not sure what I want; I enjoy bass and mids, but if I had to choose, I'd rather have clear vocals over bass.
Past headphones -
I found them too bass heavy and lacking clarity.
I found these to sound somewhat boring sounding.
Preferred Music - I mainly listen to alternative, indie, rock, and pop.
Some artists I listen to:
imagine dragons, AFI, two door cinema club , capital cities.
Location - US
Other notes : I definitely need removable cables, and I have heard a lot of good things about the ATH m50x, and Beyer custom one pro. Would any of these two suit my needs, and if so, which would be better.
I had a pair of these and they were absolute garbage. They were pretty much all bass https://www.amazon.com/JVC-HAFX1X-Headphone-Xtreme-Xplosivs/dp/B004S7Q8CA/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1487984173&amp;sr=8-2&amp;keywords=jvc+xx
i use the JVC HAFX1X ---- $30
As the M8 has a great sound driver, it automatically increases the quality of the earbuds
It also has some great review, but have in mind that after 2 weeks of usage, it can get a bit uncomfortable.

Using correct format:
Budget: £60, its a bit flexible
Source: Onboard PC Motherboard, iPhone, Nexus Tablet
Requirement for Isolation: Reasonably, most likely won't be used in too quiet of enviroment
Preferred Type of Headphone: Wireless with option to be wired, microphone
Preferred tonal balance: Balanced
Preferred Music: Leaning preference to dubstep/ electro but pretty much everything
Location: UK
Extra stuff:
I've never been a big Audiophile, I enjoy my music/ movies/ game sounds generally with these cheap speakers
and use these earphones more on the go but also to plug into the speakers if I'm playing games late
What I am looking into getting is a decent pair of headphones, good sound quality, microphone, wireless, ability to be plugged in (would that improve the sound?, also for non Bluetooth devices), the bluetooth is not a required feature but I haven't found wireless headphones with a microphone.
I'm looking at these headphones and was wondering if anyone had an opinion on these or has a better option?
Also I'd be running them off of onboard audio and a bluetooth dongle if I get a bluetooth one
I'm not looking to spend too much on them, maybe up to about £60. Any help would be appreciated!
Budget - max 250€
Source - Android Smartphone, Computer
Requirements for Isolation - Not necessary, but would be good to have.
Will you be using these Headphones in Public? Yes

Preferred tonal balance - Balanced with a good bass.
Past headphones - JVC HA-FX1X-E Xtreme Xplosives for Android, Logitech G430 for my Computer
Preferred Music - I listen to a lot of different things, this is my current playlist
What would you like to improve on from your set-up - Overall better sound quality.

Other Information: I was in an electric store a few hours ago (german media markt) and I tryed a pair of headphones for a minute and had to go after that because my train was about to arrive. I had to pair them with my phone to test them and the linked device was the Bose AE2 SoundLink, they were really comfortable and sounded really nice to me. They were 329€ in the market tho and this is what I found on amazon, it doesnt say Ae2 tho, only around ear. I'm not sure if it is the one I tested. Maybe you guys know.
Something around the sound range of these would be very fitting for me.
The box comes with these they're decent headphones for the price.

Isolation: Rather have it than not, but I'm not too picky.
Type: Earbud or IEM. Over-ear headphones are uncomfortable.
Previous: Currently use these JVC Xtreme Xplosives for my computer and occasionally my devices. They're good, fairly comfortable. Had them for almost four years and starting to show some wear. Also have gone through three pairs of the $8 classic Panasonic buds which I use mainly while working out. Very unglamorous but reliable
Tonal balance: Balanced or V shaped.
Improvement: I prefer an L shaped jack over a straight jack (I don't know any of the technical terms, I'm a newbie).
Currently looking at Xiaomi Hybrid IEMs and Symphonised NRG IEM but super open to suggestions. Thanks!

These JVC IEM's are an awesome pair of headphones, only £16 and they have a ton of bass, it may sometimes be overpowering but i love them. I only really use them when i go to the gym but they are a great pair and if your looking for bass + your style of music im sure you wont be disappointed.
These are the earbuds I'm using: http://www.amazon.com/JVC-HAFX1X-Headphone-Xtreme-Xplosivs/dp/B004S7Q8CA
Will have to try another pair and see if it makes a difference.
EDIT: tried another set of genetic earbuds, didn't do it. Went back to the JVCs, not doing it again for now.
Earbuds like Apples white ones? Sure, the sound is tinny, with little bass, and a harsh top end. Not to mention the high sound leakage, and the fact they fall out often.
But IEMs? (In Ear Monitors) totally different. They create a seal in your ear, so you are isolated from the outside world (which has its pros and cons) The level of seal depends on the sleeve you use. I like comply foam squishy tips, if you use a silicone rubber you get a more complete seal with more bass than you would ever think possible from such a small enclosure.
If you want to try without breaking the bank, pick up [these] which are a great starter pair of this style of earphone.(http://www.amazon.co.uk/JVC-HAFX1X-Xtreme-Xplosives-Headphones/dp/B004S7Q8CA/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1449595243&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=jvc+xx)
https://www.amazon.com/Actor-ACTOR-HAFX1X-Headphone-Xtreme-Xplosivs/dp/B004S7Q8CA
This may be good or the GR 07 Bass edition is another good option for it.
RHA MA390 Universal seems to be another good choice for the low end.
JVC Xtreme Xplosive line is great for bassheads, so long as you don't want to lay on your side while they're in as they stick out further than regular in-canal headphones.
JVC HAFR201R Xtreme-Xplosiv Headphones (with mic)
I have these (no mic) and they're outstanding.
Quite a fan of JVC Extreme, they sit very well in my ear and with such a deep in ear part, the sound is properly isolated. Very durable, long cord and only £15 odd delivered in the UK.
I really liked my JVC XX headphones. I want a pair that is similar to these but bluetooth. What is available? I want to stay under 100.
I've had good luck with the JCV Extreme Explosives
They're on sale on Amazon all the time (under $30.00 usually from $40.00 retail)
There are earbuds with decent bass, just have to get ones that specifically focus on having good bass.
Had these ones for 3 years so far
For a cheap pair of headphones that are durable and sound good I'd recommend the JVC xx ear buds, I bought them for $25 dollars about three years ago and they still work great. They're the first pair of ear buds I've had that haven't had one side go out after a couple months.

I have these and they used to fall out now and then (they're pretty snug), until I changed where the cord runs. I used to run it down my back, out my sleeve and into my phone- now I just let them hang down my chest and push the excess cord under the armband.
It's the little things :)
Hi, I was considering buying this:
https://www.amazon.com/HiFiMAn-Electronics-RE-400-HiFiMan-Headphones/dp/B00AWLEAH6/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1485765311&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=hifiman+re400
But I am concerned about why it is cheaper than every other retailer I could find, and was wondering if this is the same hifiman re400 IEM that is recommended.
Budget - $90-150 flex~50
Source - Samsung Galaxy s5/ Computer(Ht Clairo Halo)
Requirements for Isolation - mid-high. Will be using primarily for outdoor use, home, school and excercise.
Preferred Type of Headphone - IEM, other closed headphones
Preferred tonal balance - Preferably not heavy bass, smooth mids and clear highs. I'm searching for a mostly neutral sound.
Past headphones - I've used Sennheiser CX200 and Sennheiser PC360's. I loved both of them, but neither focus on good music sounds. Looking for something new!
Preferred Music - Preferred at this time is dubstep, funk and electronics. I listen to a lot of other genres, but that is my focus at this time
What I've been browsing:
Shure-SRH840
MEElectronics A161P
HIFIMAN RE-400
Thinksound ms01
Brainwavz B2
Etymotic hf5
HiFiman RE400
These punch way above their cost, id def get whatever you choose through amazon so you can return easy if you dont like what you get.
Is it worth selling/trading my Beyerdynamic MMX 101 iE IEMs for the Shure SE215 or HiFiMAN RE-400 Waterline? Following the format:
Budget - <$125
Source - Nexus 5, Desktop w/ ASUS Xonar DG 5.1
Requirements for isolation - Decent isolation
Preferred type of headphone - IEM
Preferred tonal balance - Decent bass, good clarity
Past headphones - Beyerdynamic MMX 101 iE, Sennheiser MM30I
Preferred music - Electronic, Jazz, Indie, Big Band
I'm from Vancouver, Canada if that makes a difference.
Amps aren't absolutely necessary for IEM's.
For a little brighter sound, could try the Sennheiser Momentum In-Ears. Comes with remote/mic for your S4.
The Hifiman RE-400 offers a neutral sound signature.
Could also check out the V-Sonic GR07 line.
Bose headphones are okay at best, mostly mediokre, but the real drawback is that they generally have a really crappy value when it comes to price/performance. For less money, you could get Shure SE215s or Hifiman RE400s for less, and they'll probably sound better than whatever Bose has to offer. You wouldn't exactly be buying bad headphones, but you'd be wasting your money.

See http://www.head-fi.org/a/headphone-buying-guide
Also, if you're looking for an IEM, check this list, which you can arrange by price, sound, etc. http://theheadphonelist.com/headphone-list/#
I'm cheap so I sorted by sound quality then found a price I was comfortable with. Ended up with HiFiMan RE-400's.
https://www.amazon.com/HiFiMAn-Electronics-RE-400-HiFiMan-Headphones/dp/B00AWLEAH6/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8
I would personally recommend the Hifiman RE-400, a great all around headphone tat should work with most genres. Very easy to listen to, decent isolation, and currently on sale for $80. I personally use them to walk to class on a daily basis. The microphonics (cable noise) can be pretty annoying depending on what I am wearing, but they can be eliminated by over ear wear. They are also super comfortable and light.
If you have you mind set on the MA750s, Newegg is currently selling them for $80 as well.
Enjoy your headphones!
How much do u wanna spend? You can spend over $1000 on IEMs if you want to. In the more reasonable realm, $100 gets you good stuff. I personally like HiFiMan IEMs such as:

Xiaomi Pistons owner here, they were actually my first good earphones/headphones.
As far as I know when compared the Pistons 2 are way better than 3 in terms of audio quality. I never tried anything else from them since I moved on to better ones.
If you like serious affordable IEMs please get [Hifiman RE-400] (https://www.amazon.com/HiFiMAn-Electronics-RE-400-HiFiMan-Headphones/dp/B00AWLEAH6)
Note: sound signature is flat
Going to highly recommend you give the Hifiman RE-400s a shot. I've been using them for close to a month now, and absolutely love them. I've been using them mostly for jazz, and everything from coltrane to The Phat Band sounds incredible!
Budget: $100-$150, willing to go a little higher if a good deal is available.
Source: Nexus 5
Isolation: Some isolation is definitely a necessity. Part of my day I am surrounded by quite loud/obnoxious people in an already noisy environment. My old Bose QC15's were good at blocking the ambient noise but I would rather have something that could shut out loud/sporadic talking and yelling.
Preferred Type of Headphones: I am probably looking towards IEMs for isolation and no sound leakage. I am willing to stay with Closed Over-Ear headphones if it holds well in terms of isolation and sound quality.
Preferred Tonal Balance: The most I can say here is that I'm not a basshead and prefer clarity. I usually try to do a lot of research before coming to a recommendation thread for a possible purchase so it doesn't seem like I'm wasting anyone's time, but I am absolutely lost here. This would be my first real enthusiast purchase (unless you consider Bose QC15 quality headphones, which I've been told isn't so) so I don't know much in terms of tonal balance. Maybe my music suggestions would give a better idea of what I'm looking for.
Past Headphones: Bose QC15. I bought into the advertising like four years ago, but they are starting to break and I'm looking for a more serious purchase. I liked that the quality was much better than the simple ones included with iPods and such, but I've been told by friends that Bose are frowned upon in the headphone community and that I can get much better for much less. I have also read that ANC is not as good as isolation in IEMs.
Preferred Music: I listen to mostly Alternative and Indie Rock. Some bands that I listen to just off the top of my head are: Alt-J, Phoenix, Bastille, Cold War Kids, Foo Fighters, War on Drugs, Death Cab for Cutie, CHVRCHES, and anything else like those I probably listen to as well. I also enjoy listening to acoustic covers of popular songs.
I should also mention that durability and portability are important features for me, I will probably be using these quite often.
HiFiMan RE-400's seem to be the leading candidates for me right now.
If you're looking for something under $100, the HifiMan RE-400 is a good buy. I got it recently and love it. Balanced sound with decent isolation and well worth the $79 dollars.
http://www.amazon.com/HiFiMAn-Electronics-RE-400-HiFiMan-Headphones/dp/B00AWLEAH6
RE-400 is selling on Amazon for $59. Much better than your choices
I use these and they're fantastic: http://www.amazon.com/HiFiMAn-Electronics-RE-400-HiFiMan-Headphones/dp/B00AWLEAH6
Budget - 150$
Source - Laptop mostly
Requirements for Isolation - A must have. Will be using at home when it's really loud most of the time.
Preferred Type of Headphone - Conflicted between IEM and full-size right now. I want the portability and isolation of the IEMs but I feel like I can get so much more from regular headphones at the same price point.
Preferred tonal balance - Nothing really preferred since I'm new to all this
Past headphones - Cheap 20$ hand-me-down from a friend
Preferred Music - All sorts
What would you like to improve on from your set-up - I want something durable that'll last for a good while. Need isolation above all else though.
I've been looking at the Shure 215 and the RE400 as my top picks so far. But I can get the ATH m40x for the same price as the 215s. Any advice?
Edit: The m6 pros look like a nice cheaper alternative too.
These HiFiMan RE-400 are going for $49 after being listed as $100 on Head-Fi (as a suggested purchase in the price tier.)
Should I jump on them? I'm looking to upgrade from my Panasonic TCM125-K for my work earbuds.
The only other IEMs on my "To Buy" list are these which tend to go for $100.
Some of the best IEMs around that price are the HiFiMan RE400.
I've had great luck with these headphones
Had them over a year, and IMO mop the floor with the AKG's sound quality wise.
I've had these for nearly a year and I'm happy with them

Of course if you want something that looks cool or is super sturdy or whatever the sky's the limit.
I used these and these on the Vive both with and without the extension, as well as on my bog-standard basic mp3 player both with and without the extension. Also, the extension worked for the first couple weeks of using the Vive.
It's the extension.

I own a few of these. And at this pricepoint you can't go wrong. They have a nice sound for them. And they sit comfortably in the ear.

As far as cheap in ears go, these are the best ones I've used. Though, you might want to get different tips, as the ones they come with are kind of uncomfortable. Generally, I like these!
If you want something a bit more expensive, I've been a huge fan of Meelectronics headphones. Really good sound stage, and they seal out sound real nice.

I've actually bought probably idek like 5-10 pairs of these Monoprice ones and they seem pretty solid for $10. Worth giving them a shot if you're looking for cheap but fair quality. Recently I got VSonic GR07 Bass Editions and I really like them. Feel pretty balanced but it's really hard to tell since I haven't experienced a wide variety of headphone/earphones. I know these are a good sound for their price because the wire got messed up pretty easily. So I knew that's why they must be cheaper than they sounded they probably spent more focus on the sound quality and less on the physical quality. Which I'll take. It's cheaper and I even got a replacement pair for free.
EDIT: I used this IEM Review Table as a starting point and reference when looking in depth for good earbuds. Maybe it can help you.
Monoprice enhanced bass.
That's exactly what I'm looking for. And don't they come with a case and a large set of extra pads? Amazon link I'm looking at
Idk if it's a black Friday deal or if it's always been there but RHA seem to have some good prices.
Amazon has some deals....
This one is for the ma750 $97.99
https ://www.amazon.com/dp/B00ELAM8LE/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awdb_n.hgAb2P7RNKM
But RHA page itself has it even cheaper
$83.79 https ://www.amazon.com/dp/B00PMTPRAM/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awdb_UdigAb6FZ43NE
For isolation you need IEMs, they are of course lightweight aswell. I don't know what your experiences are with the fit, but usually they come with a lot of different tips so any of those should fit pretty good and tight.
Take a look at the RHA MA750 or Shure SE215 for example, those get recommended a lot.

As others have said, earbuds aren't ideal for running. Get something like these instead.
I have these and I like them: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B003XU6H8I
Depends on the earbuds, take the BOSE IE2s for example, they are very open in design (airflow), yet stable and good sound quality due to that arch ear lobe support piece built into the mould/earpiece. I've used them for over 2 years and they are amazing. I've never had any issue regarding hygine/etc (use them at work, 12 hour shifts, [two 1 hour breaks to break up the shift] 4 days a week)

Bose ear buds, yes they are over $50 but under $100. I have had mine for two years and they are rock solid. They sound great and have a super sturdy cord. The buds don't ever fall out of my ears which is key, and they don't stab my ear like some other designs. One tip, I do keep them in the little zippered pouch that comes with them which could have something to do with their longevity.
Really good pair. Recommended them to alot of friends and they prefer them over some of the cheaper ones they brought in the past.

I use shitty $12 in ear things and just tuck the cord under my shirt. Works great and i'm not spending way too much money on garbage I'm gonna lose immediately anyway.
I bought these a few months back for use at the gym. They work surprisingly well. Audio quality is good for the price; they're only 20 bucks so don't expect Sennheiser/Shure level quality out of these.
I'll take this opportunity to recommend Otium Beats
I've had 2 of them, and recommended to a friend who bought 2 as well. They work perfectly fine. And at that price point you don't have to worry if something stupid happens to them

I plan on using these also with my ATH-M50x's as a counterpart for use outside of the house (at school). I was looking for a similar sound to my M50x's in the form of an IEM under $100 and these seem to be the best bang for your buck value.
For great ear plugs I use these Etymotics. I use them at concerts and when I was working in a Machinist Shop. You can get them on Amazon as well.

But I can afford them. Hell, I've actually spent more than twice as much as they cost on my current headphones. From what it sounds like they're the best you've ever owned so you have no grounds to compare them to anything better. Also I haven't tried the Pulse Elite specifically but I've had a chance to try out other flagship surround sound headphones from Tritton, Steelseries, Turtle Beach, and Astro and the 7.1 surround sound doesn't do shit, mainly because it's impossible for it to do shit. Like I was saying sticking a ton of tiny speakers .5 inches from your ear isn't any different than 2 larger speakers right next to them. The reason that 7.1 for home theater setups work is because you have 8 speakers placed around your room so it's actually where the audio is coming from.
Also just so you know, this is what I have when it comes to headphones.

I use Bose headphones. They are pretty pricey but they are the best headphones I've ever owned. They NEVER come lose or fall out(my biggest complaint with other headphones) and they haven't broke over the past year that I've had them. Apple, Urban Ear, and Skull Candy headphones would last me about 3 months before they quit working. I'm guessing it was due to sweat getting in them when I'm running. If these are too much money there may be a cheaper pair of headphones out there that use the similar rubber piece to keep them in your ear while running. I've just never seen any others use that style myself.

I'll prob get some flack for this, but I SWEAR by these Monoprice earbuds I use them with my Electronic drumset, and they sound fantastic! Excellent bass, and great isolation. I actually prefer these to my $50 over the ear audiotechnica headphones I originally bought to use for the drumset. You won't find anything better for the price. In my opinion to get better, you'd need to spend 5-10x more.

Bose IE for sure.

I bought them[IE1] on a whim and after getting wet, stepped on, rolled on, they keep going strong. Based on Amazon the IE2 is more durable but I never had issues with the IE after a year now.

They are really the best earplugs you can get for the money. They sound like they should cost 10x more.
Really nice bass, and smooth mids and clear highs. Good for all kinds of music.
Build quality is good and if they break for some reason they are so cheap that you can just but them again.
Those MX1000 are so overrated, I would recommend to get https://www.amazon.com/Mpow-Headphones-Waterproof-Cancelling-Microphone/dp/B0753GRNQZ/ref=sr_1_3?keywords=mpow&qid=1567142214&s=gateway&sr=8-3 which over more bang for the buck.
Can’t every single one of those things be said about Ethernet vs WiFi, too?
AirPod battery isn’t abysmal after a year. I’ve been using mine daily for more than 2 years, and I really haven’t noticed any noticeable decline in battery.
Maybe this is just me and my friends, but with streaming services nowadays, does anybody even do “pass the aux” anymore? Everybody’s phone has access to the same library of millions of songs.
And where did you find a tolerable pair of wired headphones for $10? I could never find tolerable wired headphones under $30. But it looks like you can get BT headphones with a 4 star review for under $20

I will not buy a computer without a CD drive
I will not buy a car without a tape deck
I will not buy a phone without a physical keyboard

edit: every single person replying has some niche case reason to hate these changes. You're bitching about changes that are meant to improve general consumer electronics. Those products aren't meant for you. If you can't convince yourself to ditch a tape deck, then modern electronics aren't meant for you. You're probably still bitching that you had to ditch dial-up for cable or your rabbit ears for a digital antenna.
