Better replacement for beats headphones?

Ive been using the beats headphones that came with my rezound for over a year almost every day. I like them a lot because they work well with the rezound (duhh it came with them) the inline controls and mic on the headphones is what I like best. The other day I found a pair of sony mdr-ex10 headphones laying on the sidewalk so I picked em up. After trying them with my rezound I noticed the sound quality is better in my opinion (more bass and definition to the music) but of course the sonys don't have the in-line controls and mic. So now I am "disappointed" with the sound quality of my oem rezound beats headphones especially since I feel the cheap sonys sound better. I did some searching and I couldn't really find much of a selection of headphones that have the same controls as the oem beats ones do (most headphones that have the inline controls are designed for I phones and they don't work properly with droids). Anyone have a list or know exactly which headphones (earbud style) that have the inline controls the same as the beats ones do?
 
There are tons depending on your price range... Consider Klipsch S4A or Sennheiser has several headphones that are Android compatible (at least 15 different models in their CX and MX lines).

Honestly though, I gave up looking for ones with controls, it just wan't worth the extra money for the sound quality I wanted.
 
Yes, I already considered the klipsch s4a and s4aII but after finding out they only have one button and that you have to program them with the klipsch stand alone music app which you have to use while you listen to music if you want the controls to work properly sounds like too much work every time I want to listen to music. The beats headphones have 3 buttons next track/previous track and pause/answer call and they work with the stock music app.

As for the other headphones with the inline controls. I have tried a pair of monster i sport headphones (just to experiment) with 3 buttons the "forward" and "back" buttons don't do anything. Im afraid to buy any earbud style headphones with the 3 buttons because I think they will work the same way the i sport ones do. Can anyone confirm for sure which headphones with inline controls are fully compatible with the rezound and work the same way as the beats do?
 
I have been using Nocs NS200 and Degauss Labs Royale Android. The three button function works well with both when I use an App for button control.
Sound quality is very good on both models, much better than Beats;)
Cheaper too..
