Are there no compatible headphones for this thing!?!

[rex.reyesiii]

The international version of the Lumia 1520 comes with a headset the US (at&t) version does not come with a headset. Same price though smh

Oh now I understand.

I have a pair of AKG 240s that I use for studio work. They're a bit stingy on the highs but I love them. Had them for at least half a decade.

Am kinda accustomed to(and loves) the Mids that's why those are my gear.

Midrange Head represent yo!

I tried to get some from Amazon but it was full of counterfeit knock offs. There were so many reviews saying they were fake I didn't feel I could order any. Maybe at&t will have some.

I agree, I tend to see a lot of them being sold by streets vendors.

I'm not looking for anything special. Just basic headphones that are somewhat neutral.

You aren't consistent with your points. First, you claim that you're an audiophile who's very picky with his gear. Now, you say that you want some basic headphones that are somewhat neutral...

I still suggest Coloud Boom for that description. They're also quite cheap compared to other sets out there.

I have the Purity HD and had the ear buds also, but the buds cranked out so I went with the Klipsch S3M their pretty cool and at least they tend to stay in my ears, where as the Purity buds kept falling out or needed to be readjusted. The S3M's also have a in-line mic and clicker for answering calls and skipping through tracks, but it doesn't have volume controls. And they work well with 8.1

What's not consistent? I have trained ears. Therefore I'm able to hear the difference in audio quality. Does that mean I can't buy basic neutral headphones? I want one set of in-ear headphones to listen and talk on that doesn't sound like crap. Right now the only thing I've gotten to work for control or mic is Bluetooth headphones. They work well for talking but are terrible for music listening.

I've read about the klipsch ones. I'll try those next if these new sets I ordered don't work.

The reviews said the ajay5s are really heavy and constantly fall out of everyone's ear. Do you have that happen also?

How much do you want to spend? I bought the sennheiser mm70s for $75 at office depot, they sound wonderful.

Look into the Etymotics.

I checked them out. Wasn't really feeling them. They look huge btw.

Price doesn't matter a whole lot but I would prefer stay under $100.

 

[Loco5150]

As I said before, the Sennheiser mm70s are good. Remote with volume control works. I have those.

The Sony's I also suggested sound WAY better though, seriously the best earphones I ever had. Read some reviews. I got mine under 100.

 

[carlos12001]

Tell you what, don't get those monster N-ergy things, they sound like total shiit. A dollar store pair would probably sound better.

If you want to understand headphones, what will and won't work and why.
Jays AB headset for Windows Phone and a note on headset standards
Headsets for Windows Phones or Blackberry.
If they say they are for anything Apple, forget it.

 

[Christopher Lindsay]

Thanks everyone. The purity headset does the job perfectly. If they break I'll try some of the other suggestions.
