Anyone planning to get a good piece of earphone with mic??
Has anyone did any research as in which ones will actually truly work with L920 and how much is it gonna cost?
I am somewhat concerned what quality of music go into my ears
Nokia purity earphones are for around 5k in India.. I need to find out how much HTC urbeats cost, I read in few forums that they are also fully compatible with L920.
I just put this question out in the open if at all anyone knows about some other earphones which are fully compatible and are cheaper!!
Hey! Glad to tell you that I'm addict audiophile and I can certainly help you all here.
Alright, I have four headphones that I own (and my roomie owns a WH-920 purity)
1. Klipsch Reference S4 (~5k)
BEST noise isolation, most comfy ear tips and balanced sound (Bassheads stay away). Best IE headphones for this range.
Even in crappy city buses I can enjoy songs peacefully. This is the awesome level of noise isolation these beasts offer!
NOTE: Klipsch Image S4 available for 4.5k, with same design. Only with more bass.
2. Sennheiser CX300 II precision in-ear (2.8k)
Awesome for listening while you're lying down or sleeping. These are so small sized that even if you roll over in sleep these will stay put in their place. As expected from sennheiser sound quality is decent. Noise isolation above average. Slightly bassy, and LOUD.
3. Sennheiser MX-470 (1.2k)
These are not in-ear, but earbud type. Comes with two sized rubber rings for changing its size according to ear size. These also offer good sound quality, but poor noise isolation and your ear may hurt after sometime because it might be bigger for your ears!
4. Sony MDR-XB400 (1.7k)
My recently bought on-ear headphones. This beauty is addicting!!! With thumping bass you'll feel your ears thumping and bumping. So good! These don't do much justice with the treble but boost some higher freqs in your EQ and there you go, perfect headphone for such low price!
5. Monster purity WH-920
Didn't much like these, sound is kind of muffled. But compared to popular headphones such as creative EP-630 it's much better. Buy only if you want only style. Because at this price you have other better alternatives.
I've used all these extensively and have bought only after much research. I don't want my money to go in waste!!
Anyways, last thing remaining. How can you control the playback/volume on first 4 sets?? Answer is simple, don't bother and buy a 'Nokia AD-54' adapter. Bought it from ebay for around INR200/-
It provides with you all the control you need, plus a mic and call answer key. Plug in your headphone, and you have a full-fledged mobile headset. Let me know if you have questions.
