Poll: What brand of earphones are you?

I noticed a significane surge in the number of earphone brands being introduced in the Philippines this year. Which so many models to choose from, we’re curious as to which brands still tops them all.

Some two or three years ago, whenever people recommend a good set of , it’s the Senn brand that pops much more often.

Even the knock-offs are getting some good following.

So, let’s go back to our question — what brand of earphones are you? We’ve got the Sennheiser of course, the Philips, Sony, Monster/Beats, Jays, TDK, AKG, Shure, Audio Technika, Bose, Klipsch, etc.

Go hit the comments and share your vote.

  1. I go for Sennheiser and Audio Technika as I’m on a tight budget but if I’ll spend more, I’ll go for Shure, Ultimate Ears or Klipsch

  2. Coloud

  3. I’ve only tried Senn. But I’m willing to try Philips (seems most affordable in the batch), Klipsch, and Shure (for good reviews).

  4. CDR-King

  5. Logitech UE 600 :)

  6. I have a Philips and a Panasonic sets but I’ve been pining for Shures or Klipsch in-ears.

  7. back then CDR-King, now Philips. Never tried Senn :(

  8. Philips

  9. I want to try senn but dont have the budget right now.

    Currently my ears indulge on creative ep-630. its a bang for the buck in ears i might say.

  10. Sennheiser

  11. Nokia Stereo WH-205 Headset
    Beats
    CD-R King ü

  12. Sennheiser and Ultimate Ears :) Also have other brands (i collect earphones), but nothing comes close to these two.

  13. UrbanEars Medis ;)

  14. I’ll go for Brarinwavz, UE, Shure, Hifiman, Westone, Ortofon and Vsonic. Each brand has its own House sound or Signature so its very difficult to pick.

  15. I have both Sennheiser and a TDK.

  16. Currently using an entry level Shure IEM. Its heavy duty cables, short length(as it’s bundled with an extension cable) and snug-fit form is perfect for me as using it with Jabra BT3030. Tried those Sennheiser CS series and Denon’s yet nothing beats Shure’s regarding its soundstage quality.

    I’m also an avid reader of http://www.head-fi.org/ which led me to a nice discovery: anyone knows where to find a Head-Direct/HiFiMan RE0?

  17. Koss Porta Pro

  18. Hi Abe, it would definitely klipsch for me. Klipsch s4i in particular. All klipsch have this very unique ear bud which is a bit oval. Just plug and you instantly get a good seal, no twisting needed. Take note, it can control your iphone via the remote with mic. (play,stop,next,previous,ff,rew)

    I have tried some creative ep630 which can be bassy, but the highs are too harsh and mids are quite soft.

    The ever famous cx300 is also a good bet, but still harsh on the highs.

  19. Sennheiser and skullcandy

  20. Kicker hd541 almost the same level with beats pro.
    for only 2,999 :)

  21. Buds … Skullcandy

    -Sent via YugaTech Mobile App

  22. I use senn also pero I want to buy the Yuin PK2. the sound is awesome! may alam ba kayong nagbebenta nito dito?

  23. Philips!

  24. default iPhone headset :p

  25. Sennheiser. has been distortion-free for five years. started with philips but the left earphone always gave out after only a year of use.

  26. Entry level senn & philips. Though these days been using the buds that came w/ my phone a lot. Am planning to get good buds when i get cash, but i think 5k for earphones is too much for me.

  27. a4tech in earphones, comfortable and great sound quality @ 290! beat that!parang orig beats tour yan!:) clear highs and low frequency. a must!

  28. i have creative and phillips, but im using creative ep-630.

  29. AKG FTW!

  30. Mine is phillips, great sounds!

  31. I have an a-Jays Four because it’s compatible with the iPhone complete with the mic and volume controls.

  32. mine is Sony, bigay ng sister ko, can’t afford eh

  33. I like Sennheiser earphones. I’ve tried JBL and BOSS at stores like PowerMac but am reluctant to buy because i don’t know if i’ll like using them for long periods of time. If I want to buy cheap earphones I buy Samsung. They’re relatively cheap but the sound quality is good, at least for me. my preference is for a more balanced sound from the lows, mids to highs.

  34. I currently own Beats by Dr. Dre Studio but I’d love to try out Audio-Technica and Steel Series

  35. Apple headset. Durable. Quality sound.

  36. Just 3days ago i bought Memorex…. accdg to the sales guy its an affiliate of TDK… so far its good

  37. I have pair of Sony. But I usually use the earphones that came with the device (phone or mp3 player) I am using.

  38. Hifiman RE0, Meelectronics M6(3 pairs)

  39. Grado + peachtree DAC/headamp :)

    hoping to get a Hifiman soon

  40. I’m a cellphone guy so its a must for me that the headset has an integrated mic. I use Coloud C19M. It got an in-ear buds plus an integrated mic, perfect for cellphones.

  41. I have the following: AKG, Sennheiser, and Creative.

  42. Been an Creative EP-630 for about 4 years now :)

  43. Mine is Klipsch and bose Ie.

  44. Audio-Technica… when i first listen to my Audio-Technica ATH-M50.. it felt like magic :) m50… the only headphone certified by The Music Engineering & Technology Alliance (METAlliance) and loved by many in audiophile world. you better review this one abe. Beats is nothing compared to this.

  45. I have 2 Sennheiser. I love the quality.

  46. A4tech for me…ganda ng sound at mura pa

  47. sony makes a good quality for me for rich audio including altec lansing

  48. philips in ear. way better than the original beats.

  49. Soundmagic

  50. i want to have a moshi vortex, great sound and bass but i can’t find any store that has it. :(

  51. stock LG optimus one earphones \m/

  52. Sennheiser

  53. Not sure what I’d actually prefer but I was fine with Philips extra-bass 300-buck ones for the longest time until my mom got me my current Altec Lansing ones for a birthday.

  54. been a philips user for the past year ;))

  55. Previously, I always bought cheap earphones but the sound quality is so “CANNY” so I bought Philips…it cost me alot but due to wire tangles I decided to buy a Php2,500 Motorola Bluetooth Ht820 Headset way back 2007…

    Now on its 4 years, it didn’t let me down. :-) (Ala rexona ad)

  56. bose
    for $175

  57. Sony Earphones are the best!!!

  58. Beats By Dr. Dre!
    \m/

  59. beats tour na fake :)

  60. Creative earphones that came with my laptop.. 4yrs and counting..

  61. Philips SHE-9620 Crystal Sound in-ear earphones which I got last 7/25/2009 for P1800. Worth every penny. Still using them up to now. I compared it with my uncle’s Schure buds and they sounded exactly the same.

  62. Sorry, it’s Shure.

  63. beats tour at beats studio.both fakes,bwahahaha.peace.hindi kasing mahal pero hindi rin kasing tunog hahahaha

  64. CD-R King

  77. Marshall Minor – nice mesh cord, great sound quality

  78. 093531***** Need to be textmate.

  80. Wow, only one person uses SoundMagic here…

    im also a SoundMagic PL11 user… its for 800 pesos but it sounds better than my philips 1.8k iem before…

    and the PL11 has great reviews all over the HiFi world… try it ;)

  81. Shure, Ultimate Ears.

  82. My 2 year old Sennheiser MX500 still works great!

  83. Colouds or B&W

  84. Sennheiser 218

  85. I used UrbanEars Plattan.

  86. Sennheiser (IE8) and Ultimate Ears (TF10)

  87. I’ve used many earphones over the years and even used to own one in the 4-digit price range, a Shure e2c. Sold it eventually since I didn’t actually like its sound signature, even if it produced technically good sounds. It’s like saying you don’t like Mariah Carey’s songs, even though you know she’s a technically excellent singer.

    Since then, I’ve went on to purchase cheaper ones since my earphones lasted only anywhere from 3 months to 1 1/2 years. Also, cheaper earphones actually provide the masses with the stuff they like: bass (sometimes muddy, sometimes tight), noise isolation and decent mid-range.

    For the cheap earphones I’ve tried, I’ve come to love the old A4Tech MK-650. Loved it so much that I bought it 4 times since it kept breaking in around half a year, as early as 3 months. One earpiece tends to stop working by that time. Note that I said old, by old, I meant the ones without the pinpole and isn’t darkish chrome. The newer ones with the pinhole and darkish chrome have relatively bad highs and ear-piercing treble. The old one was just right to introduce anyone to in-ear earphones.

    As for my current budget pick, G-Cube’s iB-1300 is 400 Php at most Wellcom branches. I’m currently using this one and it delivers a very decent mid-range after 20 hours of burn-in. It also has a relatively tight base, not overpowering. The highs could be a bit better, but it’s already better than the old A4Tech MK-650. You could listen to Whitney Houston’s “I Have Nothing” without absolutely no crackling noises at high volume with high power output sources. Soundstage isn’t that good but what other earphones under Php 1000 have a good soundstage? It’s an even better version of the old MK-450 and at a similar price.

    As for non-in-ear earphones, I’d simply recommend the Sennheiser MX500 for under a grand.

  88. I got a Sennheiser CX 300 and PX 100. And a pair of Beats Tour earphones. Although the CX 300 really is a beter one actually

  89. Sennheiser CX310 adidas

  90. Only ONE earphone BEATS THEM ALL:

    SONY MDR E818
    Only 300 pesos
    One of the BEST SONY had created!
    Better than high-priced Sony earphones.
    Used those high-priced Philips but still my ears loved Sony MDR E818.
    Even Sony salespersons attested to that earphones “great quality sound” output.

    Bad news: it’s extinct! I can’t find any store offering that model.

    For now, I’m using Sennheiser and Pioneer earphones, but still missing that Sony (I used it for about a year) kasama ko sa biyahe to office papasok at pauwi. :-)

  91. I love JAYS!! especially my a-jays 3!!!

  92. I use Audio Technika CK303M… nice price for a decent earphone

  93. Audio Technica
    Cheaper than other brands..
    Decent sounds..

  94. Koss for me!!!!
    Ultimate Ears and Sennheiser follow. My dream phones are Shure 535 though.

  95. I recommend shure earphones – high quality though expensive; I got the 425 and 535 models – totally worth it – durable too

  96. If ur looking for something not too expensive but worth the money i suggest u buy a4 earphones… Has nice base…

  97. i using my Dr. dre solo hd for about 3yrs now, im so amazed by the performance of this headset though its a bit expensive but worth for such price

  98. i have creative ep-630 , and i had it for 3yrs. i got tired buying the a4tech one so i bought this earphones for 1.8k. never had any regret with my purchase. the bass does not make your ear bleed. was a perfect complement to my creative zen. only bummer is the rubber casing is starting to get worn off. i can’t let go of this though kahit dugyot na tignan with all the tapes around it, kasi my ears loved it so much. i would only replace it if it stopped working.

  99. Hed kandi pure kandi cause it’s so stylish. Period. Haha.

  100. Klipsch!

  101. Etymotic Research ER-6i. One of the best bang-for-buck earphones I’ve had the pleasure to own.

  102. Got Sennheiser cx-300-II and cx-475.

  103. ep-630 and ep-635 nice earphones :) great sound signature almost the same as cx-300 but cheaper and soundmagic pl-50 bang for buck earphone :)

  104. I’m the most convenient and multi-functional earphones. I love my Sennheiser MX680i but I so want the Jaybird JF3. Anyone knows where I can find those here?

  105. Full-size: Beyerdynamic DT 150 – Built like a tank, dry and detailed midrange, analog-like sound signature. My favorite headphone not for sheer technical capabilities, but for its unique way of portraying accuracy in guitar-based recordings.

    Portable: Creative Aurvana Live! – Foster 399317 bio-cellulose drivers, deep and satisfying bass, rich and thick signature. They’re a steal for $60 on Amazon, compared to the steep Php 8,000 local price.

    IEM: VSONIC GR07 – Detail retrieval on par with $300-400 IEMs, clean and neutral without being boring due to a splash of warmth.

  106. WESC – We Are the Superlative Conspiracy (Headphones), default HTC DHD earphones and Sony in ear earphones (for running).

  107. etymotic hf-3

  108. FYI, your web site doesn’t look suitable in Opera.

  109. I incredibly a lot appreciate your blog below, thank you so a great deal you’ve got helped me out greatly Smile spread the really enjoy.

  110. The post is supposed to be a “Poll”.
