Best over ear headphones(no beats!)

[inno87]

I bought the "MEElectronics Over-the-Ear M6P Sports Headset with Inline Microphone". They sell them on their website for 40$+ but i bought them on ebay from theire eBay store @25$

They have a memory wire wrap which goes over the top of your ear so the earbud is not only resting in your ear, but if you tug on the wire, they wont pop out so easily.

I'd recommend Sennheiser HD-280s sound great 99bux and quite audiophile, easy to drive with a phone. Granted there not HD650's but a ton cheaper and not crap like beats, they hold up quite well too!

+1 for Bose QC15's

+1. I bought a set late last year, they just changed them to have inline controls and mic.

If you're talking about bluetooth headphones, then Jaybird makes THE best ones. They just came out:
Bluebuds X

I have been looking in to the audio technica m50's, also the ultrasone hfi 780, and also the berdynamic DT-770, the problem with head-fi.org they don't seem to be too helpful.

I have the Audio Technica m50s and love them! Can't recommend them enough.

audio techinica ath-m-50s ~ 150 $ best value for money

As good as these headphone are, I wouldn't recommend them for a cell phone. These are straight up a staple in a professional recording studio. ****, people mixed albums with these. They will only sound good if you have ripped your cds at lossless.

I use Sol Republic. Great sound and less then the Dre's. Side note the engineer who designed these is the son of the founder of Monster Speakers. You may have noticed Michael Phelps sporting a pair during the Olympics.

How compatible are these ?

I can only speak from personal experience but I have SMS Street by 50 Cent. They're incredible I try them out for the 1st time on my HTC Arrive & it blew my mind so I can imagine on a WP8 device. And on the bright they are very durable. If you decide to get them Amazon would probably have them $50 cheaper than other places.

I am not sure if the 920 deserves earphones from that caliber... but these are pretty good "over ear"

I personally have these: SM3 V2 | EarSonics

Very happy with the sound.

quick recommend for the sennheiser amperiors - they retail for around 350
good bass, not overpowering like beats
low impedance so they sound just fine unamped
here's a link with reviews

I got the Monster X Nokia Purity On-Ear Headphones few days ago when I went to MS Store for my wireless charger.
I know they are not the best value but I like how it's fully compatible with WP, other headphones either don't have the controls or are far from fully compatible.

However I heard the Over-Ear ones are coming out soon and you can wear them wireless or wired, pretty cool.
Anyone knows the pricing on those?

Here's an update on the Bose QuietComfort 15: I ended up getting the "Mobile Communications Kit" from Bose - which is pretty much just a replacement cable with a microphone but without any of the keys. Yes, it's not optimal - no volume control and you can't answer / end phone calls with the cable (instead you'll have to do that on your phone), but the microphone works - it's pretty usable. Definitely beats buying new headphones if you already have the otherwise excellent QC15.

Its to early for me to say wether they are the best or just realy good, but I like the Wireless Purity Pro very much so far.
I am doing a review on sunday and are goning to compare them to a couple of different headphones (both cheap and pro).
In the unbox you can atleast get a feel for one of the key features, they look incredible.

I have Harman/Kardon BT headphones Wireless and Wired. They sound amazing. Harman Kardon - Headphones - Shop In-Ear, On-Ear, and Bluetooth Designer Headphones

I second this. I was about to post it lol

 

[larlaffer]

Maybe a dumb question, but do the Harmon/Kardon BT controls work with Windows Phone?
