Hi Guys,
Got my new XE, and loving it, but I don't like the in-ear headset I got with it, I'm more of a on-ear fan.
I've got Sennheiser PX100, but with no microphone, which means I'll need to buy a new set.
I've played a few tunes on my PX100 with Beats enabled, and it's sounds very good.

Any ideas if beats works fine with non-beats set?

Any recommendations for a good headset?

There's the MM 60 ip

And there's Beats Solo HD, which is much more expensive and I'm doubtful if its worth it:

Anything else?

Hi XE-IL and welcome to the forum.

You could take your XE to a Best Buy (or other audio stores) and test various head phones to see how they perform and feel.

Hi,
Thank you for the greetings

If only we had Best Buy in Isarel..
I don't think there's an audio shop in Israel that let's you test various headphones.. Only if it were that easy Sad

I've tried a different headset than the one provided with the phone. The beats audio still works even if you use another set. One brand I particularly liked is SonicGear (available here in the Philippines) because of the quality of base. I liked it better than the beats headset.

Yeah,
Beats Audio really does enhances the sound even on non-beats headset, but I've read it does so "wrong":

Yes, you're right. it seems that the beats enhancements works on some types of music but not in others. That's my personal opinion though. I also experience it that's why i bought another pair.
