XOOM & Droid X ..but what about Dre Beats

[jimswood4]

I was thinking about buying the Dre Beats at my local target which are on sale for a good deal. The box says for IPod and I have had issues with headphones in the past that said for the Iphone. The remote features (usually one button) not working right and doing crazy things. I have a Xoom and Droid X just curious what issues ill have if any.

I have the solo and the remote doesn't work. All you can do is start/pause music player, on both my DX and Xoom. No volume control, no next feature.
Love the headphones though.

This is just me, but nine times out of ten, headphones labeled with a musicians name are crappy. Also, I am a bit of an audiophile and have a decently large array of headphones. If you don't require control buttons I highly recommend these:

Amazon.com: Klipsch IMAGE S4 In-Ear Enhanced Bass Noise-Isolating Headphones: Electronics

AudioCubes.com - Elecom EHP-CL430 Headphones - EHP-CL430 -

I believe the Klipsch S4 also have a version with iPod controls

I have the studios and the mic and pause play works, but double tap to skip track instead calls ur last dialed number. I'm using the epicc 4g so not sure if its my phone or android in general. I think back in the day on android 1.5 with the htc hero controls useed to work, but not sure.

Beats are decent but they arent the best. I'd still choose them because they're more visually pleasing rhan most others. Also try urbanears or wesec. Just dont use skullcandy they have the poorest buuild quality i've seen in a while.

the beats are all about the looks go with some Bose headphones they are always the best

I bought em because they look nice. I'm not an audiophile so the beats sound just as good as my grados to me. And I like bass andd the beats give more slapping base than the bose imho.

God no! Bose speakers and headphones are horribly over priced and sound quite poor when compared to other brands.

Get some audio technica's or some klipsch's.

No highs no lows it must be ... Bose.

Good noise cancelling if you buy those, and that is about it

They do have decent active noise cancelling, but when I am using my ATH a700's or my klipsch S's I can't hear anything else either. Both sound much better and are considerably cheaper.

no...just...no

I recommend you go here and read there forums before purchasing any headphones:


Head-Fi.org - Headphone forums and reviews for audiophiles

 

[zach_alt]

and for everyone's information, if you spend at least $40-50 on your headphones, you're not gonna be able to tell the difference in quality. Just high and low response.

I have a pair of S4s and whileheartedly agree with the recommendation. They are by far the best headphones I've used, and that included the Bose in-ear ones.
