I would say that any bundled ear phones are not good. You'd be better off spending you money on say... ultimate ears, audio technica, sennheiser etc.

There is a catch
The headset shipping with Galaxy S2 in India is pathetic but the ones that come inbox for Galaxy S variants in US works beautifully. I got them for myself on ebay for Rs840 INR. http://www.ebay.in/itm/Sharp-sideki...tDomain_203&hash=item3f0ec0465d#ht_1658wt_905

They are the first set of bundled headphones that I have actually used rather than immediately swapping them for a 3rd party set. I think, for a bundled headset, they're pretty good.

Pooooooooh no! Don't buy them as they there are so many better ones out there.
PS, shame on the person selling them!

headphone with mic ?

Hello, anyone have buyed better headphone with mic?
We have to buy otmp headphone?
THanks
Yes, that is the best you can get
Well, I'm looking for a pair as well but the Bose ones are too expencive. I know that iPhone earphones work with Galaxy W (So does the mic) but the loudness isn't as impressive. Can anyone reccomend something better than stock Galaxy W earphones up to 30 pounds?(36 euros).

I'm assuming that by 'decent' you mean lower than the one in the apple store?
You can always try eBay but make sure you contact the seller first to make sure they are 100% authentic. Otherwise just go to an apple store and get a pair.
I can say I recently bought the AKG 326 (suppose to be for iPhone) and all is working but the volume buttons.

The volume buttons won't work but the mute button should work just fine, on most pairs. There are apps like "headset button control" which will allow you to configure the mic to do other things like fast forward and rewind tracks.
Klipsch also makes a pair of Android headphones as well.

I have Beats Tours.
They didn't work (audio out) on my GNex...OR my Droid X.
But...at some point after 4.0.4 they started to.
I don't know if it was a kernel or rom update...as I wasn't constantly checking to see if it worked...it just did randomly.
As stated; volume controls still do nothing.
But the mic works...as does the mute button.

Why is it that someone can't EVER mention Beats without getting **** on?
I have Klipshe S4's as well.
They're (according to many) better than any of the Beats line.
I've had quite a few mid-high range buds, actually...
And the Beats are still *probably* my favorites.
They sound good.
Would I pay $160 for them?
Eh...probably not.
Would I gladly accept the Christmas gift?
Yes. And I'm happy with them.

Because they're 10% engineering and 90% marketing? It's as bad as Bose crap. It's made by monster, the king of overpriced home entertainment.
It's all marketing. Commercials are racist as **** too.
When it comes to smartphones, its more like 1% engineering, 99% marketing.
Oh wait, we are talking about headphones.
My bad.
Still 10% engineering, and 90% marketing
You gotta give Beats some credit though, stepping up from a crowded marketplace to come up with a very unique and compelling product line. In selling it's all about how you market your product and that's why the best product does not always sell well.
I have the Beats Beatbox and Monster Miles Davis Tributes and they are just awesomeeeee. Fantastic value for the price especially the Tributes.
just because they market it well doesn't mean it's good.
i dunno, i just think beats is to cell phones what vtec is to hondas.
I have a pair of Bose IE2s and beats don't compare. if tried just about every pair I could find in beats and don't understand the attraction to them . I also hear senhiser (sp fail) makes good in ear headphones.
Don't get beats.

I have a vtec in my Civic, which isn't a bad car for a 16 year old kid, but still Beats don't need to be priced as highly as they are (we can all agree on that), but they're still decent hardware compared to brands like SkullCandy.

It's funny how no one thinks they are worth the money yet defends them as still being . For that money really good stuff is available, so buying them is like buying Bose - a waste of money. There's a reason why Bose does not publish specs. They are just above average at a premium price.

Whoever bought them wasted their money.
And yes many products you are paying for marketing. Think about that. The insurance companies that advertise the most are the highest price no matter how much money they think they can convince you that you're saving.
Btw, i am selling something. it is good, well because i claim it to be and want you to believe that. $100 for xda members. Free for smart xda members. get it? And if you act within the next 30 posts i will double what you get and knock off $50. But for smart xda members it is still free. Hurry before all the smart xda members get smart and don't act now.

Vtec was revolutionary for small displacement engines. It has since become main stream in all different kinds of engines.
Beats may not do much for cell phones, but that doesn't mean the entire product lines is worthless.

Beats are a waste of money. It's not that they are bad per se, it's that they are bad for the price segments that you find them in.
A $300 pair of beats *might* be close to on par with a $100-150 pair of sennheiser's for instance.
They are overpriced, with too much emphasis on pumping up bass frequencies at the expense of everything else.
Don't waste your money, get some real headphones.

Samsung Headphones supplied with N7000

So... I got my note yesterday.. Updated to 4.0.3 rooted it etc...
Just listening to some music on the walk to work... I must say the supplied white hands free headphones are surprisingly good, any one else agree?

I use pretty high end etymotic and klipsch in-ear-monitors, and once you try those, you can't go back to cheap earphones. Everyone's different though.
Ive always liked Samsung stock headphones. I like the way they fit in my ear, I know they are not as good as some expensive ones but combined with voodoo sound and a nice equalizer they're pretty impressive.
That being said, I use my beats headphones all the time now, They where free with my HTC.
The Stock one is good.But I also have the free sennheiser px100ii with galaxy note.Feels like heaven while listening music with it .

It's pretty nice.
Though I can't hear the sound around me.
And that's a problem.

Ah see, I preferred the not hearing sound around me as in the area I'm from it's full of idiots and small cars with loud exhaust pipes. Tends to get annoying when spending nearly an hour walking to work.

Does any one know of superior sounding ear buds that also include a Note compatible volume control and button? Most of the higher end models are designed for IOS devices and the controls don't work with the Note.

To be honest i've found the stock headphones fine until I flashed a new ROM with Beats Audio installed. Just can handle the bass now.:laugh:
They are not bad for the price which is free. I also have a pair of klipsch android version which for the price are amazing, I also have a pair of beats tour which are ok a bit to much base but sounds good with awesome beats equalizer. Now my go to head set is the Bowers & Wilkins p5's they are simply amazing.
The stock Note headphones are on the cheap side and that shows on the audio quality. I use some old in-ear dual drive Panasonic headphones and the difference is huge. The next step for me is the Martin Logan Mikros 70.
not sure...till now its still in the box.
i think their the normal ones samsung supplies cos i got similar ones with my gs2 also
They are o.k for a standard set. - But the quality of the earphones are not as good as in the past. Still have a couple of earphones from my samsung omnia, and they go much louder than these delivered with the note.
But if you want to use them for high end music they are quite rubbish I think
After some good usage out of them I've realised they're not as great as I originally made out... Still good for free and will be ample until I can get a decent set.

Just grabbed a pair of Sony xba1 for $60. They sound great for the price and super small too.
Soundmagic E10.... currently using. It is far far better than even stock iphone ear phones.. Outstanding soundstage... It will cost you for around $30 - $35.. You can also google for its detailed review...
For a review you can check this link. http://anythingbutipod.com/2011/08/soundmagic-e10-review/
Phones ware OK for me, but when i get Seenheiser HD518, i reborn.
Some of the htc beats can be found online for a pretty good deal they sound great havent got my s3 yet to see if the music controls work yet tho. Im surprised you say the iphone ones work good those are terrible worst headphones ever always blowing out with cheap sound quality.

AKG K451
I am now using AKG K450 and the only difference between K451 and K450 is that K451 has a mic. That's all
AKG is amazing sound and it does very well on pop and something like that
It's worth it

LG Quadbeat 2 versus SoundMagic E10

Any one have any experience they can share on the 2? Which is louder? Which is better sounding? I have hearing lost so I need something louder. I'm using some Samsung S4 headphones and they are not loud enough. I'm trying to stay in this price range.
I listen to all kinds of music but mainly rock and old metal.
Please list some headphones that you feel might be better in the same price range.
I will be getting my nexus 5 in February.

BTW i'd go with the Soundmagic e10. The extra 10$ is probably worth it, since the review are raving about. Thanks for putting me on to them, I already sold. Will be ordering one, if and when my phone gets here. Looks like next year =[
