What's your budget and what do you look for in a pair of them? Quality over sound or vice versa. What type of music genres? Etc... do you want more bass or more average or more vocals to pop out?

try something from Denon or Audio Technica!
I use the stock buds at work as they allow me to listen in on conversations of colleagues (meaning I can hear them when they try talking to me). If I want good sound away from home, I use a shure 215 se. There are pricier options, but for 100€ it's really great sound. At home I use a sennheiser MD 598 if I really want to have it like the musicians inteted their songs. But the sennheisers are open back and so sound gets out and my family is annoyed by that if they wantto watch TV. So I bought the Yamaha Pr 500. they are closed backs and almost don't leak sound, even if I use my Fiio alpen to crank it up. The Yamaha is a little tinted to the lower frequency side, but it sounds awesome to hear all the bass lines. And with EQ you van tweak the sound to your liking. But what I found is, that any over the ear headphones with big drivers really gives a much better sound stage. When using my big cans I almost always get back to live tracks over studio recordings, because it sounds as if you were standing in front of the stage. I recently had to thin out my music collection on SD card to make space for higher quality recordings. Now the minimum I use is 160 kbps and I have tracks up to 320. and the difference is amazing.
Sorry for this rather long post, but I hope you can get something out of it.
Check out Headfi

Agree. Headfi.org is great if you research audio stuff.
Another vote for head fi. Watch your wallet though. The headphone out on the Note 3 is very good. A high quality headphone is worth it. Personally I use a Vmoda m100 most of the time. It's a fantastic headphone if you like your bass. I also have a pair of Audiotechnica A900s which still sound amazing after 5 years since I purchased it. For ultimate portability I use Sennheiser IE8s which still blow me away with their bass and soundstage.
Good luck with your search. There are lots of good choices.

I'm using the Sennheiser Adidas MX 685 as my put-in-pocket pair of earphones. They sound great, are water-proof, and don't fall out of your ears! You can get them in multiple form factors.

The output from the N3 is extremely good. If you're not feeling that then either you're using dodgy earphones or poor quality source material. Well recorded 24/96 audio through my Shure E3C earphones sounds pretty amazing.
Really can believe no one has recommended Etymotic. I picked up a set of these

And I am as happy as I can be with them. You can't beat it for under $100 IMO. I plan on investing in their ER-4s based on my experience with how impressed I am with the hf4. I never thought I would be paying as much for a set of headphones as I would a phone....

Firstly thanks for the replies everyone. I wasn't receiving post updates.
I listen to Led Zeppelin a lot. Rock music. Like to hear the bass too and mid range .
I think I'm more inclined to use in ear buds, so shall look through the thread and check recommended types.

I picked up a pair of Bose IE2 a few days ago and blown away with audio quality and comfort. Kinda pricey but well worth it.

Yes, definitely. These come with different size buds and stabilizers depending on your ear size. I don't even know I'm wearing these when working out for long periods of time. They have another version with volume controls and mic for $30 more.
Returned for a refund the Plantronics BackBeat Go 2 bluetooth headset because the buds were uncomfortable and popped out during movement.

You can use over the ear headphones with the N3 but I wouldn't recommend it. I tried my Sennheiser HD650s plugged into the N3 and they sounded okay but not great, problem is the N3 doesn't really have enough power to drive them. Through a headphone amp or external DAC they should be fine, I tried the N3->HLLY SMK-III DAC->Sennheiser HD650 and that sounded awesome.

I am a headphone junky... (I couldn't possibly name all the ones I've ever had haha) but all I can say is beats are overpriced for what they are. If you want a truly good pair of headphones, get the ultrasone hfi 580's. The sound is absolutely amazing!! Has a lot of bass but is is very tight, and not muddy (like the beats are). Also there is no lack in the highs and midrange. Of all the headphones I have used, there is nothing that comes close in my opinion. They are about $140 so they also fall in your range.
I just got the Klipsch S4 Reference and they look and sound amazing!

150...FOR EAR BUDS??
I can't see that ever being worth it. I got some sennheiser cx200s (I think) recently on sale for 15 and they're awesome.
Klipsch, Sennheiser, Shure - all well respected high-end brands
Skullcandy is well below the price range you state but they offer good "bang for your buck", especially if you buy a set of Comply foam eartips for their earbuds.
Bose and Beats are massively overpriced crap.
Q&A or Accessories... Q&A or Accessories... where oh where do I throw this thread?
Moved to Accessories.
I am using Ultimate Ears 600 with my SGS 2, got for $78 from Amazon during Christmas sale. You can find it around $80 on amazon from time to time; however, you will probably want to buy 600vi, it has mic and controls and as much as I know everything but volume control works there. These are armature headphones and renewed superfi 5, so if you listen bass and not music, I would not recommend though. Klipsch S4 are also good from what I heard, but according to this and this theme, UI has better build quality quality, but S4i sounds better.... but I cannot personally comment how they differ. One thing, I am happy with UI 600.
Also just noticed that superfi 10 on sale again. This are one of the best IEM on the market. There is also vi version, with mic and so on, but I never saw it to go on sale, and you can buy replacement cable with mic for superfi 10 from logitech website anyway.
And yes, should agree about beats, as overpriced crap made and sold my same company who sells overpriced cables.
Don't get Beats.. They're overpriced useless things. Quality of sound and build is nothing compared to better companies such as Bose and Sennheiser. I'd suggest getting a pair of those. I have CX 400's and they're very good. Of course you can get higher-priced pairs. They really do make a difference in sound. For people who say otherwise, try a pair of 200 dollar headphones/earbuds and then try a pair of 10 dollar JVCs... It's night and day.

I would also like to add that it should have a mic as well.

To each his own i guess.. The earbuds sound awesome.. Deep bass and very very clear. For everyone that says they don't- well that's just stupid. They could be a little over priced but the sound quality is the best I've heard coming out of ANY earbuds. Even uses Monster cable.. (high-end stereo/speaker wire).. Depends who you are.. Someone like me is't gonna spend any less than $100 bucks anyway, regardless of what kind of headphones i get and when you get up in that price range (unless your spending $3/$400), your selection greatly gets narrowed down.. I landed on beats and they sound fweekin great..

Then you may not have heard Klipsch Image S4's. For $70-$80 they're pretty hard to beat in terms of earbuds. Tight bass, clear highs and mids, you'll be hearing sounds in your music you never
even knew was there
Regarding Monster cable use in Beats.......could be the reason why they are overpriced Monster cable being overpriced is another topic all together...lol

Agreed 100 fold. Beats are for people who don't know anything about balanced sound and just want muddy thumping. They don't even have as much of a kick as they should for what they're going after.
I personally have Phonak Audeo PFEs. I bought them for use with an mp3 player and not a phone so I'm not sure how they'd work out there. I am one who with always tune my equalizer to get the sound I want, and the PFEs are great in that regard. They have a very balanced sound which lets me EQ to my hearts content without getting any sort of distortion. The low end is a bit lacking compared to other headphones I've had (like Hippo VBs and CX300s) but they have better mid and high range to compensate.

I just bought a set of X10's from Amazon to compare to my Ultimate Ears TripleFi & my Etymotic E4p's
I use a Fiio E11 headphone AMP & the X10's should sound awesome from that I would think (all my other headphones kick a** from this setup)
The X10's I received are defective, one side works fine, but the other side crackles & rattles like the driver is shot.
What I'm wondering is if it's worth getting another set, or is the quality not all it's cracked up to be with these things???

I know exactly what you're saying, I have a set of Klipsch S4's & they are way too bright, but I figured the X10's might be more accurate than the cheapy S4's.
Do all Klipsch earbuds emphasize the highs like that??

If I didn't like "good quality" I wouldn't be using what are generally regarded as the two best earbud sets ever made & a headphone AMP. If you read any of the opinions on Hi-Fi.org you would see the TripleFi's are always rated as one of the best earbuds ever made (they originally sold for $399 although I don't know anybody that actually paid that).
All my rips are 320 (or .wav files), I owned a high end stereo shop for 10 years & I definitely appreciate good quality. The Klipsch S4's are way too bright, but this is not always a bad thing. Personally, I am not looking for a super accurate sound as I also like bright highs & too much bass up to a point.

-1st and foremost SOUND QUALITY (correct reproduction of highs and lows)
-2nd battery life
-3rd decent signals

If you're an audiophile I'd recommend avoiding bluetooth. I've been through 4 Bluetooth adaptors,the latest of which is a sony mw-600. I use shure headphones,and have a decent music system,and through both the sound is noticeably lower quality,almost like the bitrate has been lowered. Makes the music sound smudged. makes me sad,I like wireless.

I bought a mw 600 because reviews said it was good sound quality, well, belive me, its not, sounds like music has been recorded at 64k sometimes, waste of money, anything approaching loud and it distorts, and as for the design of the volume slider, must rank among worst ideas ever. Swapped with my mate for a 5 year old Nokia headset, sound quality much richer, fuller bass and doesn't distort even at max volume, compares well even against my gf's beats in ear wired headphones and they sound amazing. Use Power Amp!

like many posted above. wireless headphones just dont cut it with wired headphones, and if ya really do love your music, use an ipod for your music playback. I find most phones DSP just arent all that good. but a really good earphone would atleast make it sound abit better. I myself uses the Sennheiser IE8 earphones. might cost an arm and a leg. but is one of the best earphones currently.
however to answer your question with earphones for $100, to be honest. most sub $100 earphones arent all that different than a good name branded (Sennheiser/Sony/skullcandy/kicker/etc) $30 earphones. you just paying extra for fancy packaging and brand name title. once again, be it a pair of earphones/headphones or even speakers for your home stereo or car. those sound producing devices is one thing I dump the most money on. because at the end of the day they are the only thing you will ear the most difference. a $1000 speakers system on a $20 cd player will always sound better than a $1000 cd player with $50 speakers system.
That said, if you can dig deep into your pocket, try the iBeats in ear headphones or Klipsch S4.
Thanks for the quick reply
First I must clarify one important thing , I really believe in specialization(i.e using a high quality pamp to listen to music) but carrying two devices in my pocket is just a deal breaker
Two questions if that's not too much to ask
will the s4 have a big gain over 30$ monitors (which is the best)?
If I one day consider buying a budget pamp which one will provide the best music experience ( other than the ipods -i HATE apple)?
And once again thanks for the reply

FIRST: pre-amp arent really use on personally earphones/heaphones. It is mostly used on home hi fi big headphones. (you know those giant ear cup ones)
SECOND: yes and no. all pre-amp will do is make it kinda louder lol. when buying earphones/headphones look at the Impedance on them. most have pretty high ohm and that means more power is needed to produce a meaner punch sound. reason I went with the Sennheiser IE8 earphones is because it has a very low impedance: 16 Ohm to be exact. for more details google impedance and ohm on speakers/headphones/earphones. will give you greater details.
Anybody have any good suggestions for some bluetooth earbuds? I have both the Motorola SD 9's and 10's as a headset but never could really get good sound isolation from them. I've been using some wired earbuds lately and am noticing how much of a difference in tone that makes(especially on lower frequencies). Still hate these wires though. Headphones that go over your entire ear aren't my thing either.

First impression on these. Ho-lee-sheet! You weren't kidding. I snagged a pair today. BLOWN AWAY! So comfortable(more so than a headset), sound is a-ma-zing(I can hear things I never could before). and the bluetooth range is very impressive. I get about the same range with these as I did with the S-9's and S-10's,,, and those are headset sized. I'm hoping they will hold up as these are mainly for working out.

I've had them for at least 10 months now, and they have been my daily driver headphones. They are perfect for working out, snowboarding, and since I work night-shifts at a factory here in Denver, they are pretty nice at noise cancelling.

I'd like to make an amendment to this. the S9's had super weak bass, but the S9-HD's were REALLY good and brought the bass up to respectable levels. S10's to big headed fellas like myself were not comfortable at ALL. So, keep that in mind. I haven't tried the S11's
I'm currently using the Jaybird Freedom 3's and I really like that, very comfy, better treble than the S9's and the bass, with some EQ manipulation with Viper4Android, and very good too.
LG tone
Really like the lg hbs-730 tone+. I run in them and they have been great. Also had the S9s before that and liked them but have felt that the in ear aspect of the 730's has been a nice upgrade.
Do they stay in your ear?

One thing I loved about the s9 and s10 sets is that they never came out of my ear during a workout (except for when bench pressing, but that was to be expected). How has that experience been with the lg's?
I mostly just run with the LGs and almost exclusively outdoors. I have had zero problems with them falling out. The only thing I will note is that there is sometimes a noticeable wind noise over the buds when it is windy. I guess because of the shape of the exposed end. It isn't terrible though and doesn't ruin the experience.

The Sol Republic Shadow very good sound performance for the price. And it is very comfortable to wear both around the neck with nice design. The life batterry is long enough for using, about 8 hours. The best bluetooth earbuds that I've used.
Enjoy it

Can anyone recommend a good set of noise canceling headphones? I use some regular Bose freestyle ESR buds currently. I want something to cancel out the obnoxious people I'm around at school all day. I go for engineering and I hate it when you have find a quiet place to work during the day. I was thinking shut getting the Bose QC 25 over ESR headphones because I've read good things about them, but I wanted to see what other people would recommend. I'm not a big audiophile as long as it sounds as good as my Chevy l current headphones I'll be happy. I was thinking about something like on ear headphones because they would probably work better?
Thanks in advance.
I have the Bose QC15 (over the ear) noise cancelling headphones and they ARE amazing (The QC25's have replaced them). They are a little bigger, but they do a great job of noise cancelling.
Now, if you want an IN EAR version .. don't rule out the Bose QC20i's. I have those as well and they are equally amazing but because they are "in ear" they are smaller and a little more discreet.
I personally love the Bose hardware, so it just comes down to size and what you are looking for. I use the QC20i more, but that is because they are more portable. YMMV
I just bought these: http://www.amazon.com/Harman-Kardon-NC-Cancelling-Headphones/dp/B00A4A3SNW
I don't have them yet, so I can't comment on how good they are, but I have always liked Harman sound.

If they had an in ear version with android controls I would probably get that over the regular headphones. I might wait and see if they update it by next year (15 days or so).... The QC25's are big but I feel like they might sound better because of the bigger driver. Then again I am used to my smaller Bose freestyle in ear ones so I may not notice.

I've had mine since just after they were released (10/13) and I opted for the iPhone version. Since the ONLY difference is that the Android/Windows versions are missing the control buttons, my though was this:
they are the same price and having the buttons will make no difference to Android; However, If I do connect them to my iPod, then I can use the control buttons.
My logic has served me as I use them on my nano at work quite a bit .. and I am able to use the control buttons and pressing the buttons when connected to Android .. does nothing.

Yeah only the middle button works on mine. I know it has to do with how they set up the resistors inside of the headphones. I'm still debating on which ones I want.
Do both the in ear and over ear cancel noise just as well for those who have both?

The active noise cancelling seems to be equally as good in-ear or over-ear. You will get a better passive noise reduction with the over-ear ones due to the fact that it covers the whole ear.

I need to test those out at a boss store. I really like my ear buds, and I used to have seen OE2's before I broke them so a change is nice.

We sell these at my work and they are very good sounding and great at noise cancelling.
bose QC 25
i have the QC25 and i love them. so comfortable! and the active noise canceling is amazing. I am also an engineering student and i can have it on even at the loudest part of the library and not bothered by the people around me. I wear them hours at a time and my ears doesn't get fatique like i would with the in ear headphones. definitely worth the investment over the Beats.

That's good news, I've always liked Bose headphones and their QC line is perfect fit what I need. In going to test then out before I buy them to see if I want the QC 25. Or QC 20's.
Try westones. The triple drivers.

I use my bose qc15 when im at home and i use monster inspiration when on train and busses. They are good if you like bass heavy music.
I just bought the QC 25's and they live up to the great reviews. I can't hear my TV when its extremely loud if Im playing music. This is the perfect way to say dont bother me

Good. I am using my hearing aids bluetooth paired to my phone. Excellent noise cancellation on those Phonaks. For 7K they darn well better be.
I wonder, though, if the wired sound from the Bose is better than the bluetooth. I would need a good equalizer as I have severe hearing loss on mid & higher frequencies.
Your thoughts?

What do you mean for 7k? The Bose QC 25's are 299$
Also I have mild hearing loss from being in the military. (I was am engineer so demolition was my thing) I think these sound great, and I have 2 other pairs of Bose headphones. I'm not partial to their brand, but after trying others I always come back to Bose. They are wired and I don't mind that at all. The cord is completely detachable and they have a great carrying case. I'm not by any means an audiophile so I can't tell you how the highs and lows sound comparatively speaking. The sound is very even and clean and much better than the POS beats that I have tried. I can post some pictures if you want.

The Phonak HA's were 7K. Just need to decide if the QC 25 wired sound would be that $300 better /more convenient than the bluetooth link to my hearing aids.

I would say give it a try the worst that could happen is that they don't work for you. BB has them locally soi would give or a try
If you're really interested in the QC-25's, remember that you can customize the colors of them too (for a price of course). Get them painted to match your style. I've seen the paint jobs in person, and it's top notch. Not to mention it's done by a Bose partner, so they have Bose's warranty as well.
