Quote: the phone isn't out yet so it is hard to say. Samsung really knocked the specs down on the S3 mini and are getting a lot of bad rep for it along with calling a phone with a 4" screen "mini" it looks like some budget phones like the pantech burst for instance have better specs then...

Quote: i knew about the phones that allow you to use the voodoo app. problem is most of them can only be purchased used and the new ones are expensive off of contract. the other thing i haven't read about with voodoo is all of his pages list the app for a specific version of android. so...

should be known pretty soon. they started shipping this week. only review i have seen was on the site theverge and they didn't seem to go into sound quality in the review. that was yesterday. haven't looked to see if any other reviews have come out since then.

seriously no other suggestions?

curios as to what DAC the S3 mini is going to have in it. rumors about the announcement where confirmed today with the official announcement of the phone tomorrow. 

Quote: yeah the galaxy music got my attention because i have been searching the last few days and then the rumors about it surfaced. not great specs otherwise but if it was cheap and they put a wolfson chip in it i think a lot of people might jump on it just as a cheap music player if the...

Quote:       i know everyone talks about the higher end phones and about their dacs but there have to be some good sounding cheaper phones that have made it through the cracks though right?

Quote:   yeah it seems most people aren't sharing much info on dacs in phones even though phone manufacturers are trying to makes phones replace other devices.    why are the snapdragon S4 SOC' s good? is it only the S4 SoC or are any of the previous qualcomm soc's any good?

I see a lot of threads on high end brand new android phones but are there any budget cell phones to double as an audio player?   I have seen some people say the Pantech Burst sounds good but nothing concrete.    when I say budget i mean a phone that won't break the bank that you can get...

Quote: i am interested in the sq of the Pantech Burst as well. you can find it for under $150 off contract and it seems to be the most highly thought of budget android phone. it is also getting ics very soon. seems like a great option if the sq is good. 

as i have visited forums like this for many different things i have noticed that sometimes people do indeed mean cheap, but often times they actually mean, it doesn't break the bank, bang for buck or the most affordable item that has good durability and that sort of thing. you have to kind of...

if you live in the USA i would suggest the monoprice headphones. they are around $21 and I prefer them over my grado's and pretty much every other headphones i have owned including the akg's, sennheisers, koss etc that i have owned over the years. they are awesome, especially if you have a...

where do you find either of those headphones that cheap? i didn't find them that cheap anywhere.

yeah i have owned 5 pairs of ksc75's and while i love them the cords keep shorting out on my and it is usually cheaper to buy a new set then send them back even though they have the lifetime warranty. that was actually the last pair of headphones i used for this purpose. though they slid around...

when you have more of a close earbud like that doesn't that make it so you can hear your footsteps when you are running?

ok so i am looking for a decent budget set of headphones for running, jogging, working out, that don't cause me to go running for one of my better sets of headphones. i am looking for something that is comfortable and at least has decent sound  that doesn't make it sound like every single...

thats weird i ordered a ton of crap including some 50 foot ethernet cables and it only cost me $7 for the whole order.    Quote:  

well the monoprice 8323 where recommended to me on this site. i don't have them yet they won't be here till wednesday. but they are under $30 shipped and might be an option for you. i decided to give them a try because they have a detachable cable and i needed to order a bunch of stuff from...

there are multiple options cheaper for a detachable cable. the $20 monoprice headphones that people keep raving about on this site. some of the superflux are a little bit cheaper than the Shure's have a detachable cable. i think that philips also has some cheaper headphones that have a...

if a detachable cable is important you could also look at the monoprice 8323 headphones they go for around $21 plus shipping.

yeah i just want to buy something i can enjoy for a while instead of going right back into looking for another pair an hour after i get whatever headphones i buy and it seems like there is so much fluctuation every time i check head-fi in the popular around $50 headphones it is sometimes hard to...

the reason i asked is one of the reviews i read of the panasonics mentioned the monoprice headphones and said the panasonics blew them out of the water. but music is such personal preference thing it is hard to always judge from what a few people say. Quote:  

and they are a good option for people really looking for accurate bass that really hits hard? Quote:  

I am looking for a pair of headphones around $50 that have good accurate, clean, and precise bass. I am tired of the muddy sounding bass you get from the under $50 headphones. I have read about the panasonic HTF600 and they seem like they are popular for their bass. are there any other...

i have been reading about the Panasonic HTF600 on head-fi and it sounds like it is pretty good for bass but some reviewers on amazon have said it isn't good and have bashed those on head-fi saying it is. is it really as good as people say? or any other similar options? sounds like you really...
