Totally off topic: Headphones! - Touch HD Accessories

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

Average quality bluetooth headset

Hi Evry1. I am after an average quality bluetooth stereo headset for my HD. I love music and like to listen to my favourite tracks on the go (on the way to office and uni everyday & sometimes at home from my lappy). Ideally I would love to have amazing quality sound output but can't really be bothered to wear those chunky headsets that offer the sound quality to my satisfaction, so I decided to go for an average quality bluetooth headset for everyday use.
After going through some reviews I'm thinkin of buyin a motorola s9. I know it has issues with the buttons but I don't go to gym and don't get time for even light exercise, hence I have nothing to worry about, on that part. But, unfortunately, I can't seem to find any UK based dealer where I can get it from. Ideally I would prefer a shop where I can take the thing back if anything bad happens.
I would also like your opinion on my choice and if there is any other headset that you might suggest.
Cheers...
Doesn't anybody has anything to say?!
ah, here's my 3 cents...
Firstly, the new model is S9 HD...I considered that and some others and finally bought the Plantronics V855. I didn't need very good stereo music, and so the 855 is okay for me. At best, the call sounds are great. I didn't like wires and the 855 had just one simple wire that links to the other ear, unlike those like the SE DS980 (great stereo music).
The S9 HD (to me!) looked very out of place (aka awkward, ugly) on a person when worn - at least that what's I gather from seeing 2 persons wearing them on the streets.
Additionally, some reviews pointed to poor call voice sounds (ie. soft).
...it's really your preference in the end.
I think I'm gonna go with the DS980 then...
Dint get a bluetooth headset at the end, instead got a seenheiser CX 400-II headset... Mind blowing quality. glad that i made that choice...

Good in ear headphones for touch HD

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?

I really rate sennheiser headphones. I currently use CX300 II in ears for my touch HD. Not too bad at £40, and great full range sound.

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

Philips SHB9000/10 stereo BT headset

Anyone got any experience with it?
Can't find any reviews in the internet nor in this forum.
Is the music quality good?
Does HD support AVRCP (nothing on their website but this can be an omission)
****, I dunno if I can answer all that for you..
I can answer if they are good or not, and well, I'm not a sound enthusiast, but I really think these are of high quality (for the price they go for).
Recently bought them and I have no problems at all!
Cheers, man. But I've already bought me some Westone wired headset.
I bought this Philips Bluetooth headset SHB9000 6 mths back...one of the best bluetooth headset ...The music quality is superb...use core player for music..u can get best of out of it...its worth the price...I can bet nothing can match to it...crystal clear music on wireless..so far I havent come across any issues with this headset.....any more questions about this... you can ask me, if you have any issues with pairing the headset...
Does it really fit over your ear though? .. it looks small in the images.

I9000 Heaphones

I need good headphones for my Vibrant, there is a guy how is selling OEM galaxy s ones cheap. Can I use Galaxy S headphones, does everything work?
No, the headset made for I9000 galaxy S will NOT work on a vibrant, although any headset made for iphone will work, so there is a lot of headsets to select from.
If you are looking for an audiophile-grade sound, try these:
http://www.amazon.com/V-MODA-Earbud...XE/ref=sr_1_15?ie=UTF8&qid=1305152211&sr=8-15
They are the BEST you can do in terms of sound quality for in-ear headphones. The microphone is also fully compatible with this phone. They are not cheap but trust me when I say you will love the build quality (all metal and cloth wire) and sound quality (best you can get with small headphones really).
I had mine for over 6 months now and still impressed with them when you tune them right with PowerAmp.

Im sorry but they are not "the BEST". They are, however, a "good quality for price" headphones, but there are much better headsets than this one. In my experience my etymotic HF2 sound better than those, although the V-Moda are cheaper. There much higher quality options but the price go for 200 bucks or more.

best portable speakers for the transformer

hey guys i have look around the forums for the best portable speakers for the transformer but i have not found the information i am looking for
since you all know the TF speakers aren't the best i am looking for small perhaps battery operated speakers for my TF, now i have looked at the speakers people have mentioned in other threads but i am not sure if the sound on those particular speakers are any better then the ones the TF because the speakers some one may use on a phone may be quieter then one may use on a tablet
so if you guys could recommend some speakers perhaps around 20 bucks that would be great but if its more then is ok to
thanks in advance
hard to beat the x-mini II capsule speaker @£13 shipped from amazon uk
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Generation-Capsule-iPhone-Laptop-Speaker/dp/B001UEBN42
you can daisychain multiple units or do what i do and use a stereo splitter and 2 speakers to get stereo output, but even using just one it beats the TF speakers (and most laptops) comfortably for volume and delivers superior audio quality including decent bass response.
Look up "foxLv2 Portable Bluetooth Speakers" on Amazon.

I just received Monster ClarityHD Precision Micro Bluetooth Speaker from amazon. Overall, its a pretty good speakers for the price $70.00 I was amazing at how far the range was. My tablet was 30 feet away from the speakers and it was still able to pull in the sound without any issues. There are buttons on the speaker that will let you could adjust the volume and also switch tracks. There is also a 3.5mm audio input jack which you could use instead of using bluetooth. The sound is pretty good. Much better then the speakers on the TF. Overall, I am pretty happy with the purchase. At first when I was trying to pair the speakers with my tablet I kept on getting FC with Prime 1.6. I eventually had to do a data wipe in order to get it to sync.
I got these a week or so ago. They put out pretty good quality sound considering the price and are very portable and cheap.

I've received mine yesterday and I'm really really impressed about the volume and the sound quality for so little speakers..also very good the bass response..
I've bought only one to try it (13£ shipped from amazon uk) but I think I will buy at least another!
I recommend this one to everyone!!
I went with this one http://www.amazon.com/iHome-iHM60GT...733E/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1318962556&sr=8-3. It gets pretty loud and bass response is pretty good for such a small speaker. I picked mine up at Target so I could just return it if I didn't like it, but I like
When I connect BT speakers and watch video with DICE player it will slow down to an absolute slo-mo with no sound. Nobody else have that problem using BT speakers?
