$10 great earbuds that work!

Just wanted to highly recommend this ebay seller - he's selling what I assume are genuine* iPod earbuds, with 2.5mm plugs that work perfectly in the Prophet. It fits well in to the jack, it doesn't 'crackle' when touched (i.e. the connection is great). For $10, it's revived my jamin as my primary music player. I'll be buying another pair and attempting to mod some old Sony EX-71s on to the cable.
edit: on closer inspection they are NOT genuine, but they are damn close. The grey tip on the edge of the earbud's wire end can easily be pulled off and slid around the wire. It doesn't happen unless you pull it, but i'm pretty sure that apple wouldn't release a product that did that. This is the only way I have been able to tell it's not a genuine product. In terms of sound quality It's a pretty close match in my estimation to the cheap senheiser MX-300s that came with my iRiver, or 'the usual' $20 sony buds.

the seller doesn't say it's either a 3.5 or 2.5 jack. how did u know in the 1st place?
interested in them as well

It will be a 3.5 if not specifically mentioned. I think what theone3 had in mind is to cut away the $10 bud and connect it to the included handsfree hearphone. Do a search in this forum and you can get a nice guide how to do this.

Noise-isolating headphones?

I just got a 3.5mm headphone adapter for my Hermes, I'm going to install the SRS wow plugin and I'm quite excited. With an 8GB MicroSD card, it's quite an iPod.
Now, to finish the picture, I'd like to get a decent pair of noise-isolating earphones to use outside so I don't have to kill my ears and annoy people around me. No more than around £35 RRP (which means I'm hoping I can get it a bit cheaper than that online).
Any suggestions for great pairs to look at?
Appreciate any replies.
Thanks

i used skullcandy they make me feel young and hip

That's funny, I'm probably half your age p), and I'm actually after the more professional, "complicated and slightly-troubled artist" look. Yet suave. Oh and it must sound good too!
Will have to keep looking!

Creative EP630 very inexpensive and good quality

Thanks, I found the creative on amazon uk for £6.99! Worth getting just to try out, and can keep as a second pair if I want to upgrade later.
Cheers!

Etymotic ER-6 or ER-6i's.. they go on sale pretty often on amazon or buy.com. They work better than any active noise cancelling headphones I've used, and the sound is very natural.

shure e2c, e3c, e4c, e5c.... but id guess all but the e2c's will be out of your price range. i got my e2c's off ebay for about 35 quid inc postage. theyre the ebst headphones ive ever had. Sennheiser CX300's are also very good, and can be found for about a tenner from some ebay shops. Ive had 2 pairs of cx300's, but when the second pair got stolen, i upgraded to the e2c's and havent regretted it. Btw, rrp for the e2c is 79.99 and the cx300 is about 35 {every number mentioned is in pounds}

Yeah, Shure would be great but out of current pricerange. I got the Creative's as a quick cheap sale from Amazon.
Man, it exposes a lot of hiss!from my iPod, from my Hermes and from my laptop. Is there some high impedance cable you can get? Another thing, it seems to expose the (low) quality of (some of) my mp3s on my iPod! Looks like I'll have to rip ALL my CDs to 320kbps now. Or even aac lossless.

Vibrant Headphones

does anyone have any vibrant headphones (the ones that came in the box)? or any place where I can buy them?

I bought a replacement pair on eBay for cheap after I lost mine. Just search for samsung vibrant headphones oem.

This is what you want - the same headphones that came out of the box:

Are you sure these are the ones that come with the phone and are NOT OEM?

Maybe I misunderstand what you are asking, slikk, but wanting the same headphones that came with the phone means to seek out OEM Samsung headphones.
If a product being sold by a third party is stated as an OEM product, then it means the seller did not manufacture it (thereby being from the "Original Equipment Manufacturer"). So to get headphones manufactured by Samsung, thus being the same ones that came with the phone, you actually WANT an OEM Samsung product.
The ones I linked to are an OEM product, so they would be the same ones that came with the phone.

Are these the same as the ones that come with vibrant.
If so, whats the difference between the above headset and this one besides the price.

They are claiming OEM, but the picture doesn't match the stock headphones you get when you buy a vibrant. Maybe the photo they are using is wrong, or maybe they are made by Samsung and the seller misidentified them as t959...no idea.
I actually bought the ones I linked to because the left ear on mine went out, so I can vouch they are the same as what you get when you originally bought your phone.
Hope I've helped you out.

The ones from Deal Day link above are the ones that came stock in the box. I have ordered a pair as well. You can get them there for about $15 or from Samsung for $30. Up to you.

No problem - glad I could help someone out...seeing as how the OP disappeared without saying thanks or anything. lol
Good find on that ebay listing - that's a really good deal.

Just what I needed. I got my Vibrant off Craigslist so they didn't include any headphones. Replacements for less than $10? Win.. How is the quality on them though?

haven't recieved them yet. Expecting them in a day or so. I contacted the seller,he said they are OEM. I would expect the quality to be the same as the stock ones.

I never got the chance to use the stock headphones for the Vibrant. Ordered anyway.

I used stock ones..they were great. I havent used anything else so cant compare those with others.

The sound quality on these stock headphones is okay, but nothing spectacular. They are what you expect from a pair costing less than $20. They are quite nice for calls because it seems they are tuned for voice frequencies. For music, the low end rolls off much sooner as compared to higher quality headphones and are not as dynamic. This is the case compared to Woodees w/mic, Koss Porta Pros, UE TripleFi 10 and Grado 225i, all headphones in which I own at various price points. If you can get them for less than $10, I would say that is still a great value.

received the headset bought on ebay. I can confirm they are OEM manufactured by Samsung.

An alternative.
If you're interested in some mic'd headphones that are a good deal higher in quality without breaking the bank, MEElectronics's white CC51P in-ear monitors with microphone are on sale at Amazon for $50, down from the $80 range. I've used the non-mic'd version myself, and the sound quality nearly brought me to tears
If you google "176 review IEM", you'll find a treasure trove of information about in-ear buds, including pricing and value. MEElectronics is known for making excellent budget in-ear buds, with the CC51 and a151 being some of the best sub-100 ear buds on the market (according to the site, at least.)

The stock ones are quite decent actually. Esspcially with voodoo sound module
I use beats by dre however control talk doesnt work =(
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App

I've never actually used the headphones that came with my Vibrant. Lol.
I had a pair of JLabs headphones, high quality, really durable, and $20.

[Q] Where to get the NFC Antenna?

Hi,
I have ordered a decent looking extended battery, (I know the battery life of the 7100 is much better than the 7000, but I like a fat case) but of course the back has no NFC antenna. I bought the cheapest case with a NFC antenna, hoping for a successful transplantation.
But, are those NFC antenna's on their own for sale somewhere? Looked at eBay but no luck until now....
thanks for listening,

I'd like to buy one (or two) also. There are some nice, inexpensive covers available without NFC ability, and I have 2 of them. They have the place marked out but not antenna.
Sooner or later someone's gotta make these available...right?

In fact, some companies like Sunshine Good Electronics and Pulse have specialized in the manufacturing of NFC antenna for mobiles. However, they all want to deal with those guys that buy the goods in wholesome so that information about the NFC antenna are only provided in B2B websites. Maybe you shall wait, one day someone will sell the goods for retail.

Thanks, I bought one on eBay
