    Hey guys just picked up a Huawei Ascend G300, great phone, but the earphones that come with it are just awful, anyone have a recommendation for earphones for it? Good sound quality and button for changing tracks and answering calls is a must. Thanks.

    I got a pair of Skull Candy Fix for 78 euro in HMV. I'm sure you could get them s little cheaper online. The sound is awesome and they have all the controls for iPod, so I'm sure they can be used with Android (there's an app if they don't).

    Sorry, but really? SC are muck...


    A decent pair of senns will set you back about 50-60(Amazon is the best bet).


    Something like these(I have their none mic version of these, the CX300IIs, very good for budget stuff)

    check out some soundmagic mp21 - very good value for money and a really great all rounder

    http://www.headphonehub.ie/shop/soundmagic-mp21-sound-isolating-earphones-black-micd/

    also add some comply foam tips for a better seal and fit, I think the T100's fit the MP21 http://www.headphonehub.ie/shop/comply-t-400-3-pairs-replacement-foam-tips-black/

    edit: also just saw on that sites facebook page, you can win some nice sennheiser headphones on friday http://www.facebook.com/HeadphoneHub they got a 3 button remote and microphone and im pretty sure they'll work on your android phone

    I went for these as well. €69 in peats, though the website said €79, which beats prices I found online too.

    Possible, but no matter where I looked, I couldn't find a set of Senns which had the iPod controls. I should have asked in here!

    In any case, the SC's are much better by a long shot than the originals.

    The only thing is that you can hear them "clunking" in your ears as you walk when silent. I believe this is called "microphonics". But I guess that is a problem with all the phones which sit in your ear.
