quality of bundled earphones.

hey guys what do you feel about the sound quality of the bundled earphones. i feel they are really bad. so how does a creative ep-630 compare with it? also suggest other repalcements.

I agree with you. It is very bad. The EP-630 is certainly much better.

Brother I used creative in-ear's but currently I am using Skullcandy Titan and its really produce great sound.
I just love Skullcandy. Even it is repairable

what i hate hate mainly hate about the bundled earphones is the bass. it is spread out and not solid. so how is the bass of the skull candy earphone?

I think I cant able to make u understand that hows It's bass.
Just one word to say.
Aaawwwweeeeeeesssssooommee

Guys you're comparing absolutely different things XD it's a bundle and I wanna say they are pretty good for a bundle, for example when you're byuing a MP3 player in 99 cases out of 100 you can throw away bundle ears even not trying them, they're just to ensure that there IS sound from device XD
UPD and yeah, I prefer to use Cowon iAudio7 + Audiotechinca for music, not a cell phone )

senheiser CX 300 II

I got frankenphones now
cut off original earbuds, soldered in some Panasonic in-ear ones I had (which had the stupidest cable I've ever seen, but great sound quality), so I've got good phones and handsfree. It even doesn't look very bad if the cable is black and the speakers are white

I have some earphones from sony but works great! !!

Hi!
Does anyone use AKG K370 headsets with the i5800? I am looking for some high quality replacement of the bundles, but there are hints on the net that this model doesn't work well with some non-Apple and non-Blackberry headsets (unfortunately no info for Samsung ones).

I'm still giving Samsung credit for giving at least this good earphones, which imo aren't that bad. I compared them with Senheister CX300 and EP-830 and can say It's lacking bass, but is superior compared to headphones you usually (those huge non-in-ear headphones that you usually see in nokia phones..)
For the record, I've already RMA'd two EP-830's for being faulty

In my opinion bundled earphones are good.

Skull candy all day

Those headphones aren't perfect, but they aren't some cheappy earphones.
I listen about 30 minutes music a day and those are perfect for that use !

Problems with Zagg Smartbuds
I just bought a pair of Zagg Smartbuds to use with my I5801 as listed here: http://www.fommy.co.uk/view-full-pag...ts&skuno=87340
When I got them, they didn't work in the phone. They did work in every other 3.5 jacked device I had access to. After reading this forum (and others) I am wondering if the Galaxy Apollo has the same 3.5 jack as the Galaxy S.
I don't really want to spend $17 for the adapter only to find out that my phone has a different problem.
Can anyone confirm that the apollo has the same physical plug as the S?
See this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=713350
Thanks.

Very strange, I use my Beats by Dre with my SG3. Every earbuds i've tried are working

i too find the bundled ones good
i use them daily for about 1hr

I like it, much better than the ipod one and when I go running it never fall

They have a nice quality, imo.

I got a pair of earphones from dealextreme for 2 bucks and they do an amazingly good job, even compared to 10-15 $ ones

Good earphones

Can anyone recommend good earphones for SGS2? I've got Sennheiser CX400II and they sound rubbish with this phone. I tried them on my son's Experia Play and they sound decent there. I used to have a different pair of Sennheiser, which were quite good but I lost them and I do not know the number of the model.

Get a i9000 for music, the dac on the sgs2 is rubbish

It's so annoying how bad audio quality is on this. I've got some average Klipsch S3's I use for daily use, on my iP4 my ears are vibrating with the bass, on this I can barely hear the music. The ones that come supplied with the S2 are better on the S2, but nothing else. The cheaply made quality to them is so irritating too.
= What are you even doing asking whether or not you should root your phone on XDA?! =

thats odd!
my sgs2 sounds way better than any ip4 or sgs1 i ever tried!!!
im talking about sony XB700 !!

The oem headset lost output from the left earphone as well.
So I can only hear music from the right earphone.
The headset is cheap ****e..

Strange...I use 5 euros in-ear and audio quality is good...

I had the Samsung earphones that came with the phone and ever since the 2.3.5 upgrade and using power amp and equalizer the sound quality is excellent, i lost the earphones but i was so impressed with them i bought them on Amazon again and the sound quality is absolutely fine unless your a total snob when it comes to the "perfect sound" the Samsung earphones do the job very nicely.

U guys can give it a try, not only for sgs2!
FiiO E7 USB DAC and Portable Headphone Amplifier

Try using the stock music player.
If you use the 3rd party players, you can instantly tell that the 3rd party music players screwed the whole thing up.

Klipsch S4a. Boom.

Can't go wrong with Bose IE2

Using this earphones now for nearly a month.
Impressive qualtiy.
Flac over sgs2
really good.

I use Sennheiser CX300II, they're pretty cool, really good actually, turning my volume up high with some nice bass on the train, drowns out all crap that goes on around me.
What's better still, is they were a gift from my employer's for Christmas

These. With Comply tips, they sound brilliant. Obviously the recording you're listening to is important, 128kbps MP3's (or less ) are going to sound ****e no matter what you stick in your ears.

I use stock in-ear headset that comes with the phone together with dsp and cm7 music app.. sounds very good!

I'm using sennheiser cx300's too. Excellent earphones. Very happy with the sound......
But if I plug my phone into a stereo the audio output is terrible.
Very disappointing.

Been using Sol Republic Track HD and they sound amazing with Power Amp.

Need help on Quadbeat 2 headphones

I recently purchased a Hong Kong unlocked G3 D855 from an Asian seller. The phone is great but the headphones that came with it sounds like crap. I googled some pictures of the Quadbeat 2 and the buttons on it does not look like mines. I'm wondering if the seller switched the originals out for some cheap knock offs. Or does the headphones really sound terrible?
I have some pics here to show what mines look like. The main thing is the volume control piece. Nowhere in Google can I find a Quatbeat 2 that looks like mine, with the + and - engraved instead of sticking out, and the center is suppose to be a dot, not a phone. There also seem to be some defect on the jack piece leading out to the cable. And there is a big piece of spur on the buds when I take the rubber piece off
Can you guys help me confirm that all your headphones does not look like mines?

Thanks in advance

Here are the same pictures you took of my F400S headphones (they are the official ones from Korea)

Also you'd look different it could be due to it being the international model, however I think they should still be the same.
The differences:
The volume buttons are not engraved on mine and there is no phone icon.
The base of the plug kinds different.
Other than that they look about the same.

Thanks for taking the time to do that. Another guy on another forum mentioned the sound quality is pretty much crap. Is this true for yours?

I like the sound quality of mine. I really have been very happy with them. Mine are the same as the description by Pilz

The sound quality is average, they sounds better than the apple ones. I don't mind using them as a back up to my Bose ones.

Really? I love the Earpods. I honestly don't like the feeling of stuffed ear but they should at lease sound decent, which these are not. These have lots of mids but average highs and terrible lows. Pretty much the same sound from any low end headphones. The worse thing is when the cable touches anything, the sound is transferred into my ear and magnified ten fold! Oh well...
Thanks again for the replies guys. Really appreciated.

I can confirm my quadbeat 2 looks exactly like Pilz. The wires split in 2 at the LG centerpiece.
For a stock earpiece, I'm surprised they sound very good. Nowhere near like my Atrio Pro MG7, but decently good enough for me to take it to the gym.

I don't like the feeling of them to be honest. The squishy rubber isn't that bad, but I generally just use my Bose freestyles (like the SIE2's) for day to day use. The quadbeats are still good enough for everyday use. The sound isn't fantastic, but then again its not washed out. They are as average as a cheapish pair of headphones come.

Great set of earbuds to pair with your HTC 10

So since we didn't receive any Hi-Res earbuds in the US I was looking for some that sounded great without breaking the bank and I think I found a winner. For only $26 you can't beat the quality. I ordered mine directly from the mi.com website to ensure I didn't get some fakes. They have dual drivers also just like the HTC 10 and sound better than my beats urbeats for sure. http://www.mi.com/en/headphonespro/

Had these for the past 3 months and I agree, for the price it can't be beat. They sound even better with v4a imo.

Nice! Are they loud?

How do you find them? I had this pair for over 6 months and I do like them but compare it to the previous piston2, it seems lack some bass but overall a good neutral sounding earphone

I never has the piston2, but I did have a pair of the mi colorful editions which sound great also but I gave them to my son since he lost his others. And those were only $5 shipped so for the price it's really hard to beat their headphones and the quality is great.

Yeah I agree in term of bang for bux xiaomi is hard to beat.

KZ Ates are very very good with the 10 and for only 9$ delivered free with aliexpress it's crazy not to buy them.
The bundled Hi-res earphones are slightly better in terms of soundstage but a bit too much on treble side, the KZ Ates are more balanced but with an emphasis to bass though without making shades over other channels, they have a great amount of details too.
They have a memory wire perfect for sports

I've got Xiaomi Piston 2s and yes, Xiaomi makes the best price to performance earbuds on the market. I lose earbuds quite a bit, this is my second pair of Piston 2s, and I had 2 pairs of Piston 1s as well. Hopefully I don't lose these, but when I inevitably do I'll grab the new ones.

Hard to argue with xiamois price to performance. But a dynamic + BA hybrid is hard to come by for <100. Might have to try these out.

Supplied Earphones

The supplied earphones are white in my UK Platinum model!
The earbuds are a bit too big and don't fit very well in my left ear. I used crappy apple type earphones for my current phone and do not have any earbuds I can refit. What do you recommend is a good pair or earphones in UK that are very reasonably priced!

Soundmagic e10, the best and cheap.

Soundmagic e10 are superb!

I find the (presumably) same white earphones included with my 870DS to be fine, but the DAC doesn't normalise the sound. So volume levels are all over the place if files aren't normalised in advance (I only use flac files). So I use high quality bluetooth 4.1 earphones when on the go, and a high quality mini-jack to phono cable for playing through my hifi amp. Given the price of a dedicated hifi music player, such as the Pioneer XDP-300R, which has only a twin dac but includes a balanced output, or the Fiio X5, which has coaxial digital output but no dac, the G6 does an admirable job for the money.

I don't have much idea about sound, but i read somewhere at least 50ohms is required to feel the quad dac.your mentioned earbud Impedance is 46 Ohms.i have apple earpod.which is 45 ohms.
If anything wrong i said please enlighten me.
Btw thanx for the suggestion.

Not sure about the ohms but the sound quality from the e10's is really amazing, though the bundled earphones are better than expected to.

Yeah, i find the bundled earphones pretty damn good.
They look cheap as hell, excluding the braided cable, so i was sure they'll sound like ****. Was pleasantly surprised by them.

Any recommendations for earbud type, similar to the classic Apple earbuds?
