I just ordered the Sennheiser (CX500) earphones, should they fit in the 3.5mm jack of the Touch HD?
And to anyone who bought custom earphones, did you notice an improvement in audio quality over the bundled ones?

I have headphones from Sennheiser (MX60) and I have to say that the sound is excellent.

what about a hang up and play/pause/fwd buttons anything like that on it.. or is it just for music only and not talking?
I believe its just has a volume control on the headphone wire.
i have a Set at home Sennheiser cant remember the model but i dont like it.. i i want something with play/pause/fwd/mute buttons and get good bass and treble from it.. dont know which to get
I wanted a set of ultimate ears but I don't believe they make any models that have the mute or capability to answer the phone, like the HTC and some other models designed for phones....anybody have any good suggestions?
I would want some bass out of any pair I own...
jus orderd my Sennheiser CX500 headphones hope theyr better then ipod headphones that would be awsome!!!
I'm using Sennheiser HD595 with my HD and they work perfectly, so I wouldn't worry about CX500.
All the 3.5 jack headphone work with the Touch HD...
headphones...
I have a set of PXC 300.. They have not got the volume stuff etc.. but are sexy as hell !.. and sound evan better ..... !!..

The headphones from my girlfriends' Nokia N76 don't fit. Although they're 3.5mm, they're too shallow to fit in the jack.
I don't like In-Ear anymore, so I use the Sennheiser HD 25-II. They are simply amazing!!! I can recommend them to anyone!
I have some Sennheiser CX400 MkII's and they're fricking awesome with the HD. You'll need to make yourself a custom setting in Audioboost, but play around and you'll find your sound.

Hi,
any audiophile Guru out there to suggest for a great headset - best audio quality possible - allowing for FM radio and music control to keep the touch HD in the case?
I am asking this since i realized that my JABRA BT620s does work reasonably well, WITHOUT wires being A2DP, but the price to pay in quality and radio is simply too big....

Well, if you are after sound quarlity, hehe, go for Ultimate Ear 10 pro.
some shure or sennheiser headphones.. they are the best. I have one of both.. different type of headphones..
shure is in-ear, and sennheiser are typical headset.
cheers.
I just bought the Jabra BT530, read great reviews of it.
But overall, they say if u want the BEST Audio Quality, then u should buy this :
Aliph Jawbone 2
try googling for a review on that, and u will get an endless list of them!
hope this helps!
Hi to all,
after some web googling, i decided to make a good but reasonable step and purchased the Shure Se110 (black like The Stone).
Not only the quality is stellar with respect to the standard headset, but it is pretty easy to wear and in particular the FM radio works very well!
The sound is pretty loud and incredibly balanced. they don't crackle even with the highest dynamic ranges...
It has only one defect, in some respect: you don't hear anything anymore, so make a good life insurance when you walk your dog...
When at home I use my Technics RP-F290 and while mobile I use my Sennheiser CX300.
I use these [BOSE] - found them to be excellent
http://www.bose.co.uk/GB/en/home-en...o-headphones/bose-on-ear-headphones/index.jsp
I see there is now a version designed for use with mobile phones - has a mike and some controls built into the lead
These will blow your head off
If you are an audiophile and want the best sound and build quality in the world regardless of the price :
WESTONE 3
Shure SE530
Ultimate Ears Triple.fi 10
DENON AH-D5000
AKG K 701

I'm looking for a quality in-ear headset in the pricerange(with the same audio quality of course) of the Sennheiser IE6, but with a small microphone in it, like the original HTC-headset.
Is something like that in the market that is compatible with the HD? (so just for the 3.5mm output, no bluetooth)

Thanks for the reply's!
@lipa47: The Shure's look great! Does anyone know how the SE210MPA sounds compared to the Sennheiser IE6? And how is the cable quality in therms of durability? I see that the Sennheiser uses kevlar cable's.
@Nobelove: Sorry but i don't see any microphone's in those models?
Hey, how are you?
My advice to you would be to think about the HTC RC W100 wired remote control. You simply plug it into your device and its 3.5mm stereo socket means you can plug in any headphones you like. The sound quality from the mike is superb. It allows to control the volume, Forward/rewind, answer/end calls etc...
With regard to headphones, I use x3 types. I have a set of the latest Bang & Olufsen ear set phones which clip over your ear and are comfortable. I use them while cycling/jogging in London – I can answer the phone while on the move + can still hear ambient traffic noise even when listening to music/radio on a reasonable volume...
For flying I use the very excellent noise cancelling Sennheiser pxc350's - I thought the 450's were a little too flashy and not worth the extra cash for the button to talk to the air hostess...
I also have a set of the much smaller noise cancelling Sennheiser pxc250's which are very good - the noise cancelling works fine but not nearly as good as the 350's.
I have done a lot of research into this subject and would say spend money on your headphones. Also, no matter how clean you keep your ears, putting the in-ear phones in place after using them the previous day is not always the most pleasant experience.
I hope this helps.
Rgs,
J

here you go
Sennheiser MM 50 iP
and for the rest you can use this adapter or use HTC RC W100 as justin advised.
and to answer your Q. Sennheiser IE6 is much better in sound quality
Thanks for the great reply's! I love this forum
In the last few hours I've read a lot of mini-reviews on the Shure's; half of them were negative in therms of durability and sound-quality(compared to other high-end in-ears). So the Shure's are off my list.
The HTC RC E100+Sennheiser IE6 looks like a great combi if the cable wasn't that long. The cable of the IE6 is 1.2 meter... So I think that I'll order the IE6 without the microphone, too bad that there isn't a good high end solution for this subject from Sennheiser... The Sennheiser MM50 are too low-end for me.
btw. The HTC RC W100 has been replaced by the RC E100. From what I can see is the only difference that the E100 got an headphone included.
Edit: I've just found the Etymotic Research HF2: http://www.etymotic.com/ephp/hf2.aspx
Does anyone have experience with this brand? It's completely new to me, but it looks like an great option.
If you are an audiophile and a first classer who cannot accept or go for any less than spectacular audio and Brilliant sound stage then stick with this list

I can say that I went through Sennheiser: mx400, cx300, px200, px100, and I finally sticked with Shure E2c. I use Sennheiser HD580 in home and I can say that in terms of durability and quality (cable etc.) those E2c are pretty good. Well maybe newer models are not that good By the way output in HD is not that good, there is lot of hiss.
Have any one tried the Sleek Audio SA6 In-Ear Earphones ???
How do they compare to WESTONE 3 and Shure SE530 ???
I do own the Plantronics Voyager 856, excelent bass!
You can use the BT headset mono or stereo by clipping of one earpiece.
Which are the best earphones with built-in microphone for the blackstone?? Those who come with the Blackstone aren't that good...
sorry wrong forum please move this into accessories
Done.
I recommend the Moto s9s (bluetooth); worth every penny i paid for them.
Yes, Motorola SD9-HD has my vote. Comfort, sound volume are first rate. Battery life and Bluetooth range are also excellent. I was amazed at how close the sound comes to my $500 Shure SE530's (well, almost, since the Shure's are in a league of their own!). The bass response was a wonderful surprise. I was also very surprised by how nice Window Media Player on the Touch HD sounded and how well A2DP works between the two. A+ rating from me!

I think the best solution is to go to your local electronics store and buy a headset adapter w/built-in mic for the iphone, they work on the HD and allow you to answer calls. You can plug in any headphones that you like and use them in your laptop or music player as well.

Those sure look nice!
I'm no sound guru but do know that even tho the frequency range is wider than the skullcandy, that will only be noticeable with certain types of music. And the impedance will definitely play a part as well. Not sure whether the difference in the size of the speaker itself will be all that noticeable on such minute vessels but it might. If you really want to know you could post on an audio forum I suppose. I suspect the largest difference noticeable would be the in-\out ear types and everything else would be minor in comparison.

Hi kjt57,
I'm in the same boat... does your MSVC work with the standard HTC headset? I had to tweak the registry to make it work. Now it needs a long press on the HTC headsetbutton to kick in. I thought that it should work with every 3,5mm headset. Can you please crosscheck with the original HTC?
I'd like to use the Ultimate Ears Metro.fi 200v or the Shure SE210 with MPA-3C adapter, but MSVC is a must. I couldn't find a local dealer who has this earphones for testing.

Hi, I want to buy new "Good" headphones for my touch HD, maximum 150~200$
I looked at:
Re2,ER6i,q-jays,NuForce NE7M
what IEM's better for touch HD ?
and what you have headphones ?
wow for that price you can get something like theese http://www.ultimateears.com/_ultimateears/products/metrofi/index.php
I personally have DENON AH-C351 in ear headphones for about 60$ (In Latvia)-- theyre really good, But our Touch HD can never use the full potential of them-- just try your headphones with Touch HD and the try them with your PC - youll notice the difference- especially with low frequencies!!
Good Luck on the earphone hunt!!
oh BTW for about 200$ you can ger bluetooth in ear headphones (saw nokia ones some time back)
Ue very good but too expensive for that quality.
I not only use with touch HD so i type 150-200$ for good IEM's
if i want use headphones only with touch HD, them max 50-100$
I hate wireless headphones (often load battery, and poor quality)
well- creative had some good headphones-- dont know which one of them though!!
and you can check brands like sony(they make good headphones)
just go to your local electronics shop and take the best heaphones from it!!
Klipsch custom one for me.

I'm using Sennheiser MM50, which is actually for iPhone 3G, black version earphones, but anyhow the 4C rings match of HTC Touch HD's 3.5mm jack so that you can use its mic and button to receive calls and the sound quality is really nice. I totally recommend it if you like tube (or whatever it is called) style earhphones...
I know this is a "little" over your budget but try to consider a pair of costum moulded in ear monitors like the livewires - http://www.mylivewires.com/ -
I have had mine for a couple of month and it is like somebody stole all my music and replaced it with better quality music. There is a world in difference. I used a set of SHURE in ear before (not chep either) and the difference is mind blowing.
You can replace the cords and keep the moulds so this is more like a long investment.
Worth every penny...

I'm using the Sennheiser CX-500. I really like them, except for the fact that they don't have a mic.
I got the AKG In-Ear headphones, they have a very good quality...
get JH13, UE11pro, Westone ES3x or ACS T1.
I bought Jays d-jays and they're absolutely stunning very good value for the money, the only downside is they could have a bit more bass.
I'm using the Sennheiser CX-400 II, I am more than happy with them.
If you are sound maniac and enjoy to listen music i can recomend you Sony MDR-EX90LP Stereo Earphones.
I use this with my Touch HD and the sound is crystal and cool
also befor they was expensive now you can find them cheeper and save some money
So is this the only in-Ear With mic that works with the Touch HD?

No.. shure se110 too have mic control. the mic can be detech so I can use with other earphones with 3.5mm jack.
spend that extra on quality..!
I've been DJing for years, and good headphones are a must. As far as inner ear headphones, sennheiser are pretty good price for the quality they are, I prefer the sport line, where the right or left hand side wire is longer so you can route behind neck and not be in the road at the gym. You can go crazy and spend the extra on the IE line eg. IE6,IE7,IE8. there all noise cancelling ones and are claimed by sennheiser to be good enough for studio monitoring, though you'll be paying extra for them. Just what ever you do, avoid buying them off ebay. Alot of, what appears to be really good sennheiser knockoffs, or factory seconds. I'm an avid ebayer and the set I bought you may as well chuck in the bin, the seller was in my country, Australia..., though he had chinese name when replyed via email.
I bought these from Ebay and I have to say for the money they are pretty darn good.
earbuds
I've been using UE's superfi 5pro's for the past 18 months or so - awesome sound/never experienced anything like this before - although a bit too sensitive - picks up background hiss between tracks that is lost when music starts - still awesome sound using tcpmp and SRS_WOW_HD 121 if you can get over this intertrack hiss.
Otherwise have been very impressed with my wife's sennheiser cx 300-II's - came a bit close to UE sound quality/bass - when you get them in your ear properly - and you can pick them up on amazon now for less than £20.
PS - fwiw - my UE's have been through a hot cycle in the washing machine with no apparent adverse effects after a thorough drying..... so they're quite robust
Amazing....!
Yeh, isn't it amazing. My sennheiser cx 400's had been through the washer and dryer twice and still kept the sound comin strong, the sound was a bit muddy for the first day or so, though were soon back to normal, I've had a few USB sticks that have done the same as well
I'm looking for better quality headphones for the HD. I see Sennheiser make a set with a mic and button for the iPod, that appears to have the same banded 3.5mm jack as the HD, bit I'm not sure if it is the same configuration as the HD.
I really want to make and take calls, but I need better music quality than the branded set that ship with it.
Anyone used anything else?
Sennheiser MM50iP Headset
I have been using the Sennheiser MM50iP Headset for months now and would recommend it - it works fine with the Touch HD although it does not control the HTC Audio Manager in any way, only the 'phone. I have made one minor 'modification' to them, taking the foam buds from a set of JVC Marshmallow 'phones and replacing the silicon ones which come with the Sennheisers. Makes for a better fit in my ears and keeps out a bit more ambient noise.
you should post this in the accessories section of the forum and not here. Also, this thread already exists there so your question is answered there.
I use Sony MDR-EX 90 LP with my Blackstone and the sound is AMAZING im feeling like im in the club
On a slight side note..
My original headset broke, and I was looking for a headset with a mic...
However I ended up buying a pair of Sennheiser HD228's..which don't have a mic, but the sound quality is literally amazing..atleast much much better than anything I expected out of my phone..definitely worth the purchase. They're available on amazon (I'm from the UK, i'm unsure of the availability of this model in different countries.)
I'm thinking of pairing it up with a decent 3.5mm adapted with microphone..i'll let you know my views after the jump
It's worth noting also that these are possibly the most comfortable pair of headphones i've ever used (I've been through a fair few different kinds: Etymotic ER6i's, clip on panasonics, in ear CX300's, in ear sony fontopias, Sennheiser HD205's). They've also impressed me the most..although i've only had them for a day lol.
I'm hoping this helps anyone looking for a better pair of headphones to use with the HTC Touch HD
Guys don`t think for the Blackston Music Player like is a odrinary Player befor a year i change almost 10 diferent headphones just to enjoy the music and i need to tell you that the Blackstone have just amazing Music Player quality and if you buy some really cool earphones or headphones you can feel like you are in the club belive me
Like i say in my post i use earphones SONY MDR and i can`t explain you what im feeling when i listen music
Hi,i am looking for new earbuds as bundled earbuds are not working due to wire broken.

2.Tekfusion - Twinwoofers In-Ear Headphones.
3.http://shopping.rediff.com/product/htc-rc-e240-flat-cable-wired-headset-3-5-mm-jack/11726507..but on HTC website its written as...N.B. This headset will not activate Beats audio profile for desire x

Yeah they should do, i use Beats by Dre, Marley, and Sony Headphones and they all work perfect with beats audio (as long as it's turned on)
Any headphones should work. It's not brand dependent. You can plug any 3,5mm jack cable and Beats Audio will work.
So,which one to look from above 3 or any other choice.
It's up to you. Read reviews of your options and decide.

Don't think ive used any of them on the list, but I haven't been disappointed with any Sennheiser Headphones yet. Its up to you and which ever works out better (cost wise)
Sent from my HTC Desire X
1. I have tried those sennheiser ones, low on bass, but very clear and crisp.
2. Not tried but would not recommend
3. This is fake, not original by company which costs more then 20$ atleast.
I would recommend JBL Tempo for around 15$ they have nice balance of bass and clarity and comes with carrying pouch +1 for that
