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!

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 .

I use AKG K 450 headphones - very good sound

Awesome. I did have a cheap pair of beats knock offs.. They weren't bad either.

It's good but there are better one's out there. Well the stock earphones are good enough for me.

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.

i also think the stock earphones are pretty good. but for extreme music lovers i think there are much better alternatives

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.

The cx 300ii are great. I have a pair and love them, very good fit. Great for music also they are cheap.

Try these guys. Huge range & good advice via their forum.
P.S - CX300's are rubbish. Muddy low end, average detail. Anyone else but Sennheiser would be selling them for half the price they're sold at. I have a pair if anyone wants to buy them.

Recommend me Non-In Ear headset

I'm looking to replace the stock headset that comes with the galaxy s2 because it is In Ear which is not comfortable for me so I am looking for regular earbuds something similar to these
http://www.amazon.com/Sennheiser-MX...1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1317707600&sr=1-1
But with a microphone/volumecontrol/
Price range $20-$50

I'm actually using Bose MIE2i it has volume controls and a mic. and it doesnt go all the way in your ears, it's supported through the earlobe.
http://www.bose.com/controller?url=.../audio_headphones/in_ear_headphones/index.jsp
It's a little bit expensive tho (roughly 2.3x of your budget)

Ditto!! I tried using the standard earphones that come with the galaxy note and couldn't stick them as far too uncomfortable for me. I just use my over-ear clip type for listening to podcasts (without microphone capability obviously).

Bluetooth ones will more than likely have all controls (volume and answer buttons) working. I strongly recommend the Apple Earpods though if you care about the microphone. I have tried many highly praised wired/BT headsets and none of them have usable mics on the N5.

http://www.amazon.co.uk/CredDeal-X-Series-Foldable-Bluetooth-Headphones/dp/B00CQ2W20Q
Currently using these Bluetooth 4.0 Headphones with volume adjust buttons, mic, and a power button. Relatively simple. One piece of wire that connects the two pair of headphones and a small battery in the two earbuds that can play about 4-5 hours of music streaming over Bluetooth. I usually work out with these, so I had to get a pair of Bluetooth headphones that are light! So I can testify to their quality! Sound is solid as well, the sound is fairly close to my Klipsch S4 (II) earbuds. Headphones? Meh, I never buy bluetooth for those haha.
I couldn't find the US link to them, but I figured this should be a good lead. :victory:

I found the link for the US a while back, it was pretty recent when I say a while back. Maybe a month at best? So, I hope you find the link, I tried to search for the U.S link briefly, but they are definitely worth the buy.

These headphones are better sound quality and cheaper. They also come with 3 button controls. This is a way better buy then spending on 60 monsters. I'm an audiophile and use this for the gym and to beat up. My regular studio headphones are vmoda m100s if that helps you identify my music quality.

Yeah man I was surprised by them when I got them. I found them on eBay and I tuned them in viper4android and I was blown away. Really good headphones for beaters.

Yeah, I'm not an "audiophile" (I really, REALLY hate that word) but I am an audio enthusiast (been in the audio industry for 15+ years), and I gotta recommend staying away from anything Monster or Beats branded. You are paying 10% for the headphone, 90% for the brand, and they generally sound like crap.
You want good buds for a good price, go with Yuin. IEMs- Shure or Westone. Cans- Sony, Beyerdynamic, higher end Sennheiser (their low end is crap), Grado, some AKG, HiFiMan, certain V-Modas. Portable supra aurals- Ultrasone has some good ones and the Koss Porta Pro's are pretty much unparalleled for their price and I'm pretty sure that they have ones with mics and controls now.
Bottom line, if they are mainstream and all your friends say to buy them, don't. The best values can be found in brands that don't spend millions on advertising.
