alocacoc Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 A original earphone for Samsung Galaxy S5 would be enough. But i use it only for the notebook to listen music. Please, not Tukcom. Just got ripped off there again. But it's my fault. I'm the idiot who decided to buy at that place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OMGImInPattaya Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 Not sure what you consider "decent," but as you say the ones that came with your phone would suffice (which are $10-15 earphones at best) than any electronics retailer in town would suffice...any Banana IT or Power Buy would have plenty. These stores all sell original branded products and not some cheap knock-offs you'd find at a stall at a place like Tuk Com (though there is a branch of BIT at Tuk. There is also a head/earphone only store at the new Harbor Mall, where you can audition many of their offerings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tropo Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 I would recommend the bluetooth Plantronics BackBeat Fit if you plan on using them for exercise. Even if you don't exercise the waterproof qualities would be beneficial in Thailand where people are likely to sweat profusely. They don't totally block out outside noise like some do, so they're a bit safer if walking around. They were about 5700 baht at the Apple Store, but you can get them for about 2000 less online.

NickJ Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 I bought a Hi-Res Sony Walkman and the earbuds that it came with are pretty great. I use them on my old I River mp3 as well. They can be bought seperate for around 3k. The Sony Store sells them...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NightRider70 Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 The newly opened Harbor mall on Pattaya Klang has an IT City store and a few electronics shops in it. Can't be worse than TukCom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pinot Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 I've been through a lot of ear buds. Want to know my favorites? The ones that have lasted the longest? 200 baht from 7/11. Buy the best ones they have. They're guaranteed for a year but for 200 baht... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could only find one stores close to what you described. They didn't have any recognizable brands like Sony, Bose...etc. They just had cheap Chinese brands and some portable speakers. Is this the store you are referring to? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rijit Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 Im a convert to spending on head phones Have 6000£ of house hi fi in the UK, but i aint there but still like a.good sound so at first went a bit like a on here limited expense.. But i use them a lot so to me going up market. Has been worth it have used sennheisser since the.late 70's they give a 2 year. Warranty and stock parts for decades. It Stopped using in ear.undoubtably if you are of an age at a decent volume for any length of time they effect oyour hearing. Now have over ear momentums mk 2 they fold have detectable leads and are all around excellent. As for the original question buy from a.reputable dealer loads of copies around.

What's the warranty like? one of the reasons i like senheisser is the 2 year warranty and that they were totally apologetic that they didn't have the drivers for a pair of 430's i bought in 82... Vv Good on spares and excellent customer service.Sent from my GT-I9000 using Thaivisa Connect Thailand mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rijit Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 Oh and the cheap in ear sennheisser @ 20 ish £ are eexcellent value. As are the on ear koss pro porta at 25 - 30 £ excellent sound for the money. But somewhat fragile if like me you keep them loose in your bag .after the 3 rd pair in 9 months i called it quits, and amazon refunded me, no quibles.
