best in ear headphone

2017-06-09 at 3:06 PM UTCYeah the M7 was the last one with BeatsAudio, and that was I think in 2013. BeatsAudio was a bad ESQ solution anyway, muddy bass and nonexistent highs on purpose to make it better for hiphop.

The Xiaomi PHDs punch incredibly far above their own weight so they compete with headphones up to the ~$150 range, and above that range, you're already getting deep into "holy shit, I wasted my money, I'm such a rube" territory.
yeah, I've not tried them but I'll take your word for it. The best value I've seen lately if you're looking for something good is the Audio-Technica IM50/IM70s depending on taste, and they go for $80-100.
I haven't bought any for a while, am currently using Sony MDR-1ADACs (wouldn't have touched them at list price but a store here had them mislabeled at $180). They have a built-in DAC so you can plug them into any shitty phone and still have them output the same quality; no need to carry around a portable amp or anything either. -

2017-06-15 at 6:18 PM UTCInb4 gays talk about stock Android and shit. None of that shit matters. The S8 will literally get you laid.

2017-06-15 at 6:32 PM UTCAny stock Android is definitely the best right now. There's probably some faggot that'll chime in with the Samsung Galaxy S8+, but that is shit. A stock Android will get you all the pussy in the land.

2017-06-15 at 7:35 PM UTCHow to make Android stock:
1 Android
1 large onion
3 stalks celery, including some leaves
1 large carrot
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
3 whole cloves
6 cups water
5 cups of water
Bring water up to boil, toss in all the ingredients and let simmer for 1 hour, then leave it on the stove to cool down. -
2017-06-15 at 7:39 PM UTCI'll write that down.
Though, I'm also confused and rather interested in which phone will get me the most big black caaaawwk. -

Hnnnnnggggghhhh -
2017-06-15 at 9:15 PM UTCI use some shitty(read: cheapo) over ear jvc ones but they've got pretty great quality from what I can tell, at the very least I don't find any faults in them except that I sometimes forget I have them in and get up and being over ear they don't easily pull out so the buds ping off everywhere and a few times I've had one stay in my ear and that's kinda scary you know, got em out though.

Got these on Friday. They look really good and I like the feel of them and that you can control the music from the buttons on the cord. Will be trying them at work tomorrow to see how well they stay in my ear and I'll write a review
They sound pretty damn good too

Noticeable improvement in sound quality, though not extraordinarily so (my go to brand of headphones was $15). Although I got into my music much more than usual today and the day went by much faster so maybe it was a massive improvement and I just didn't notice.
The real difference to me was that the damn things actually stayed in. With my usual pair of headphones I have to push them back in every few minutes after a couple hours,or find some way of keeping them in place which usually got very painful after a while. These stayed in so long and so well. At my place of employment they bitch at you if you have more than one headphone in, so I only had one in at a time.
They look like they're built pretty tough, and they sound better than any other in-ear headphones I've tried.
Can confirm these are great for $30, thanks Falco

2017-06-20 at 11:28 AM UTCglad you like em. Compare headphones with Bohemian Rhapsody, it's a very full featured song.
For a more straight up objective test, use this:

I've had two pairs of these now. I don't know if it's the oil that I work with or if I just use them much more than most people, but both of them developed shorts in the cords within a few months.
The first set developed a short after a few months, but i was careless with the cord and just let it get twisted up and didn't care. Eventually, the cord got snagged on something while I was working, and I didn't notice and quickly walked off, ripping the cord clear out of the jack, so that was my own fault. I was much more careful with the second pair, unwinding them every time i noticed them starting to get twisted, but they still got a short in them within a few months.
Still the best sounding headphones I've had, and for $30 they're great. Do they make a wireless version?
Still, thanks for the recommendation. -
