LG HBS-700. Don't get the 730 because it has many issues.

Have had a look, did not like the looks.. Seems quite fragile with wires hanging out...
Hope to get more options and recommendations...

Really? I was reading the reviews on Amazon and people were complaining about it cutting off and that it has really bad range. I loved my 700's but now I might look into the 730.

Yes, really. No issues. I had the 700 & the 730 had better sound quality imo.

It's actually really durable. It also has 10 hours of battery life, and it vibrates whenever you get a call. It's an awesome headset.

Did some research and found sennheiser mm 100, but very expensive.

Jaybird Bluebuds or Freedom. I have been using the Freedom for over a year and I really like them. The Bluebuds are the newer, smaller more expensive version.

Sv: Best neckband stereo Bluetooth headset
I want to add a couple of side notes to my previous jabra street 2 post.
First, ebay lists many counterfeits. I would not buy from there.
Secondly, with that dog tag solution you can use whatever earphones you like.

Read very good things about the FSL Zero's.

A lot cheaper than most other wireless headsets and great reviews all around

Teardown
I am surprised that there hasn't been any teardown reports posted yet.
ifixit.com flew to Australia to get an iPad 3 when it was released and did a teardown report from a local hotel immediatly after getting his hands on one. I am surprised that they didn't attend the Google I/O and do a teardown on the Nexus 7
The device also packs in Bluetooth 4.0, Wi-Fi 802.11b/g/n, and has a GPS chip, NFC, gyroscope, compass, and accelerometer.

I am never selling my Nexus S as long as it doesn't die. Even when i get a new phone i will use Nexus S for music. Not only do the new phones have terrible volume output but they are too big as well to be used as mp3 players.

I use HD202 and voodoo sound. The sound is superb.
If I ever upgrade it will be to the s3 because it has a Wolfson too.

It has the same audio chip the nexus s has but everyone's still waiting for supercurio to release an s3 version of voodoo so yeah, as of now, no contest.

I have used the international S3 and its volume is way toooo low. Nexus S is better even without voodoo sound. People have pretty much given up on getting stable voodoo sound for the S3 its been so freaking long there has been nothing. The amplifier is just plain inferior not only to the nexus S but to alot of other phones as well even the US S3 is more powerful. No amount of "clean" audio can make up for lack of volume.
Even the iphone 5 dropped the ball as far as power is concerned probably because of the "thin" BS that has surrounded the smartphone world now. Iphone 4S/4 and nexus S/galaxy S remain the best audio phones. Iphone is best out of the box but nexus S beats it after voodoo sound. Its almost shocking that we dont have voodoo sound like sound with stock, reviewers would have crapped all over it and it would be more recognized as the greatest audio smartphone ever.
I've heard the Innos D9 (rebranded in ph as cloudfone thrill 430x) and it comes close to the SQ of nexus s.
The owner believes it has a yamaha sound chip in it capable of producing the sound i was hearing. The sound is more "airy" and "wide" than that of the nexus s but the nexus s is noticeably more detailed.
Both devices are great performers sound-wise and it's just a matter of preference what to choose.

Wow that is good to know. Looks like my next phone won't be the s3 after all. I just presumed that since it had a Wolfson then voodoo would be available for it.
I love my nexus s. I think I will keep it for a long time yet.

Best In Ear Headphones foe Nexus 4?

Whould like to have suggestion from u guys what to buy,there are a lot good headphones, just make me confuse) what are u using , why they are good/bad? and thnx for ur help ):good:
I use the Bose Mie2i headphones daily and have never looked back.
The most secure in ear headphones I've ever had. (Was doing declined sit-ups and other workouts without them ever budging)
They also have fantastic sound for in-ear headphones. The price does put some people off though.

You have to set a price range. I love meelectronics for sub $20 headphones. for about $30-60 you can pick up a set of FMJs from Skullcandy. Above that there are lots of great options like those listed above.

how well do the controls work? i heard the klipsch app is really bad.
Klipsch X10. I have these and they can be had for relatively cheap from Amazon. They are the most comfortable IEs I have ever owned/tried (Bose,Shure and other Klipsch models).
They sound incredible as well. Compare them to $500 Shure IEs.

For goodness' sake, please don't buy S4a IEs from BB at full retail. They often go on sale for 39.99 no tax. Keep checking Slickdeals.

[Q] Speaker suggestions for Nexus Q?

Since we do not have a forum for Nexus Q Accessories, I am posting this questions here:
What speakers are being used in conjunction with the Nexus Q amplifier?
I am considering bookshelf speakers from axiom audio, which seem to meet the Nexus Q amplifier requirements.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks.
Dayton B652's. They're cheap and sound amazing.

I considered them but then saw a few recent reviews that have deterred me from considering them. Unable to post the link but if you can find the review on reddit (google"reddit stop_buying_the_dayton_b652s")
Yeah, they switched manufacturers and started putting out a sub par product. They have since corrected the speakers and are back up to the original quality. You can check it r/zeos on reddit. He's the audiophile expert, and he has begun recommending them again.

def tech pro 800 100-200 used on ebay per set
The B652's were only $29 a pair when I bought them. Too good of a deal to turn down with the reviews they had been receiving. I think they're close to $50 a set now.

How about some just bookshelf speakers not the whole 5.1 setup. Preferably that actually fit on a bookshelf.
The Dayton B652's are bookshelf speakers

Seriously, they are headphones. And they come with the Galaxy S4. As already stated any headphones will work. The only thing that separates headphones from one another is the quality and the price. Have you never owned a music player before?
