Galaxy S3 Official Headphones - Galaxy S III Accessories

Anyone else thinks that the official headphones that comes with the Galaxy S3 doesn't sound good ?
They have no base and some frequencies lack 'depth'. It sounds like i'm listening to music trough an empty can:crying:
I'm looking for a replacement that has a remote that works with Android.
Any recommendation ?

Yeah the stock headphones are pretty terrible

Personally, I don't feel they're that bad. I have a pair of the Sennheiser CX 680's for the gym and I would say that the stock headphones come close to sound quality of the Sennheiser's I have.
They are definitely one of the better pair of stock headphones I've ever heard.

For me the ones that came with the Galaxy S1 were 25x better and sadly they are not compatible with the S3

The Sony ones that are packaged with the XS and Ion are far worse, the stock S3 ones aren't too bad.

Make sure you try out all of the silicone ear tips- if they aren't getting a good seal in your ear canal, the bass will be pretty terrible.

I didn't think of that but I will try it. thanks!

I am actually quite impressed with the included headphones. I get surprisingly good base with mine. Like the other guy said try using different size covers that they come with.

Stock S3 headphones are pretty decent in my opinion. 10X better than Apple stock ear-buds -

I like the stock headphones. They sound pretty good, with the right ear adapter they completely seal the ear and you hear NOTHING but music. I've got some Klipsche S5i and the Samsung ones sound equal at least.

I think the stock earbuds are nice. I'm very impressed with them. They are far better than the ones that came with iPhone 4s. I'm still thinking about buying the klipsch s4. So I can keep the stocks nice for when I sell the phone. I switch phones like crazy

I have to say the included earbuds sound pretty good to me. I listened to some music last night and watched a couple YouTube videos and was impressed with the sq for being an included accessory. They won't be replacing my Sennheisers any time soon, but I will be leaving them in my car for use in a pinch.

I don't think they're that bad for stock earbuds. Especially since they're free and included. They're not gonna sound as good as a decent pair of IEMs but there are a few things you can do to make them sound better. I bought a pack of Comply foam tips for a pair of Monster Turbines that I have. By far the most comfortable tips I have ever used and they offer great isolation. What do you know they fit the stock earbuds perfectly. They're still a little weak on the low end but it does help. I'm probably not going to be using this for anything other than making calls or going to the gym anyways. For serious music listening I'll use a real pair of headphones.
p.s. gotta love the S3 camera quality

Yea, I installed comfort foam black tips before I even tried the stock buds and I think they should awesome for stock issue.
I must have 25 sets of headphones and earbuds (I have some $400 buds) and these are far from the worst, but any buds need the correct seal from the tips to have any bass.

i changed the tip, same thing, the sound sucks

Stock earphone is not bad but definitely lack in base sound. My $15 Philips sounds better...

S3 headphone improvement
Quite the contrary, the stock headphones are very nice. You have to realize not all headphones sound the same hooked up to the same input. First things first you need to select the proper ear buds for your ear. The right size pair should fit snugly and comfortably in your ear. These also help to put the driver deeper into your ear canal for much better bass. Next open up your settings for your Music player and change the equalizer settings. In my opinion the Auto sucks and I don't like any of the preset options. If you find a preset that sounds good to you then you're all set. If you're like me and aren't happy with those, play around with the Custom option. This deters a lot of people but, isn't too difficult.

mine has really deep bass ..it's def can compare to some 30-50 range headphones. I think some you might have some "defective" ones or bad batch lol.

OP, not my cup of tea, but if you need some buds with bass just get some Beats by Dre and call it a day.
I like the stock headphones because they were free with the phone. Freebies are always good.

If you think the stock earphones sound nice, than you haven't heard anything better. lol
I throw the earphones onto my Zune mp3 player with a Fiio E5 amp, and i thought it sounded horrible.. threw on my $7 monoprice earphones back on and was blown away lol

Vibrant headphones

Does any one have vibrant headphones for sale?

I might. Just got the Vibrant and have a set of headphones I like so never even taken them out of the box. Send me a PM and we can talk. No idea on price so make an offer.
I have a never used pair from mine too.
Also have a pair that I haven't used.
I suppose you got them now...Testing them against the ones that come from hd2..hd2 has more bass and the vibrant ones are louder...I only posted this cause I recently tested them lol

There are a few OEM ones for sale on eBay too if you do a search for Samsung i9000 headphones.
Just go into a T-mobile store and see if they have any extra ones. IMO the IEMs that come with the phone are average at best. I would invest in a nice pair, I picked up a pair of Thinksound Rains for super cheap on Amazon and they are sound awesome. They are suppose to be releasing a pair with a mic on it shortly.
Im still looking im willing to pay like $15 for the headphones,i really want them

I just tried using my old iPhone headset with the Vibrant. It works just fine. I can even start and pause the music player from the mic button.
Thought I would mention this since it may be that any iPhone compatible headset will also work with the Vibrant. Can anyone confirm this?
Thanks.
damnn... i never paid attention to how good the stock headphone sounds... i was ready to sell this... i must say these are some quality headphones...

These are just headphones, no mic on it. It is the same style as the ones provided and I even think you can use the same interchangeable plugs that came with the phone. I bought some and they were great.
Does anyone know where I can purchase headphones that have the interchangeable earbud sizers but also have a mic and full music control with the skip buttons (like the HD2 headphones)?
I love these:

really? these sound better than any pre-packaged headphones i have ever used.
I find that the stock headphones are far superior to most others on the Vibrant. I have a pair of very expensive sound canceling Sony ear-buds that sound like trash on my Vibrant but are great an all my other devices. If you look at the stock headphones the connector has a third band. Supposedly it emulates 5.1 surround sound. I listen to allot of music with layered tracks (Tool, MarsVolta, SOAF...) and with the stock headphones I've been hearing stuff I've never heard before. One thing I found strange with the stock headphones is that at first I had to apply a good amount of pressure on them to get them connected properly.
UPDATE
I was just thinking that other band is probably for the mute control. Either way, of the several other headphones I tried the stock sounded the best to me.
UPDATE 2
LOL, just tried my old school KOSS and they sound every bit as good as the stock. To bad they're huge!!!
I got a pair of klipsch S2m and they are great buds. $25 on amazon vs the msrp of $60.

the third band is for the microphone.
I've found the 5.1 button to be more of a 'make what ever your listening to sound like doo-doo' button.

On an unrelated note, has anyone tried using iphone earbuds with built in audio controls on the vibrant? It just occurred to me those might work since the iphone has a similar headphone jack setup.

i'm looking for in ear headphones with some sort of music control/mic. under a hundred bucks is great, I love bass.
so far i've found these two guys: Klipsch Gaming earbuds, and Klipsch s4a's. I hear the s4a's have issues with some phones though.

problem solved. gonna use the ones that came with our phones. bass is solid, and so far they are pretty good at blocking noise.
if i find the mic/vol controls to not be worth it, i'll just buy a pair of half decent earbuds without mic control. if the OEM samsung earbuds dont provide me with mic control that I like, I doubt any expensive off market buds will do me justice.

I use the original earbuds that came bundled with this phone and Poweramp music player and the sound quality is more than excellent for me. Nice deep bass especially when you turn up the setting on Poweramp.

If you want BOSE, they make a mobile headset that has mic and volume controls. It's called the MIE2i. Also, Beats make a pair called the iBeats. They are an in ear headset with GREAT sound. I own both and use them interchangeably. I will say though I give the MIE2i's a slight edge because the eargels are the most comfortable I've ever worn.
BOSE = Buy Other Sound Equipment
Klipsch S4A, made for android. S4i sounds good, when mine need replacing, I'll buy S4A's.

I did the same and since I don't need the Mic, I started using my Sony ear buds. If I get a call, I just pull the phone out and answer, I have to see who's calling anyways.

As far as in-ears under $100 are concerned (which Im assuming your asking for) I like the NuForce NE-700M over the Klipch s4a. Ive had them both and i feel like the highs are more crisp and it has a bit more low frequency extension.
Also if you care about bass more than clarity the AIAIAI Swirl have plenty of bump and an excellent asthetic.
I use head-direct RE-1's along with cmoybb amp there is crisp sound with great bass.

Do either of those work with Android as well as S4A? To me, that's a big selling point. My S4i's are perfectly suitable sound-wise, but the lack of control sucks.

The NuForce has one button/mic combo. One press pauses/plays, two presses skips the track. The button is honestly a little flimsy though so if button is your number one concern
As for the AIAIAI it looks like the new one has 3 buttons but i cant attest to how well it works as i had an old version of the swirl with only one. I can say that AIAIAI's whole deal is that they are really well designed as far as the tangible parts so i would assume that they took a lot of care in designing the buttons.
what earphones set for Samsung Galaxy S2 SGH-t989 has best microphone ?
hi,
I've already lost the earphones that came with my new samsung galaxy s 2 SGH-t989. 1 of the reasons I got this phone was for the vlingo voice-operability that makes it good for use while driving. Does anyone know what the best ( or at least a good) earphone set is for this phone, especially with respect to the microphone quality?
thank you in advance.
monster has a BYO headset adapter w/mic that works
picked it up or $10. bought 2-one for walking around and one for the car's Aux-in jack.
what's the OP's budget? can never go wrong with a nice pair of sennheiser cans.

Best earbuds?

Hello xda!
I'm getting a galaxy nexus next week and heard it has one of the best "soundcards" in it, and wanted to get an "higher end" earbuds than the ones that comes with it. I have beyerdynamic dt770 pro 32ohm already for home use, but im looking for earbuds that I can use on the bus/plane and when training/running. My friend has iBeats on his htc sensation and he is pleased, but sometimes he calls random people because its only meant for iphone I think? So this is what I want
- Good quality (durable)
- Good sound (Listen mostly to hiphop, dnb, metal)
- Good bass
- Volume control (dont REALLY need this)
- Compatible with android
- Price not above 200 usd
edit: Also they have to be noise cancelling. Does anyone know if the volume control thing support spotify? Thats the only music program I use and it would be really great to change song, pause and volume +/-
I'm currently using the Zagg Smartbuds. They sound great and are very durable. Its also designed to sit around your neck which I find works great for running and workouts.
It has a built in slider volume adjust which works with any phone and a single button/mic for answering calls and music control. I haven't tried spotify yet but when I use poweramp I can pause/change/play all my songs with the one button.
They are noise isolating earbuds and come with various bud sizes. They are about 50$.

Thanks, but dont seem to find Zagg here in Norway Ive heard good things about Klipsch image s4, they cost about half of the ibeats here in norway.
I'm using the Klipsch s4a model (designed for Android) and I love them. I've also swapped out the tips with Comply T-100 foam tips. They're much more comfortable, better noise cancelling and bass.
+1 for Klipsch S4's, been using them on my galaxy nexus and love the sound.
If you're looking for something instead of beats you should try ultimate ears triplefi out. I got them not to long ago and they've been working great so far.
http://www.amazon.com/Ultimate-Ears-TripleFi-Isolating-Earphones/dp/B0019RBJOE/
I use a jays one there nice but lately I have been switching to the stock headphones for the in line mic. But I think ima look into the s4a
If you want something cheap, but yet has damn good sound then I recommend the ZAGG Smartbuds. ZAGG always has 50% off coupons through their Twitter so I got it for 25 bucks. If you want something a little better and a little more expensive, then the Klipch (I think I spelled that wrong =/) is your best bet. I believe they're under 100. Good luck!
i have the Pure Pur-1000 and i've gone through many earbuds and these are the best sounding kind.
make sure you break them in correctly though-- i left mine playing on a playlist overnight-- takes around 20-30hrs though for a full break in.
I have used the Kilpsch Image s4's as well as others in here and agree they do sound great. The problem I ran into with them was getting them to fit comfortably. They are IEM's meaning the go into the ear canal. I have Sony MDR XB40EX model ear buds. They are great if you really like bass, and the overall sound quality is pretty good.
you wouldnt think this company would make great earbuds but you have to check them out best sound for the price $50. ifrogz timbre pro

I've been using the Yamaha EPH-100. I would say its one of the best under $200. Do dig into head-fi and check reviews
These won't win any awards for looks, but they sound DAMN good for the price. Give all those higher end buds a run for their money.
Monoprice 8320
No noise cancellation, but they do isolation pretty good.
If you really like bass, but want clarity and natural sound and don't mind paying a little bit more I would totally recommend the Hippo VB (Variable Bass). They have the deepest bass of the bunch, or at least appear that way because they lack a distracting midbass hump. Their bass is also quite controlled and rich in texture, more like a good full-sized phone, and clearly performing way above its price range. You can read some reviews of people who had them (and know what they are talking about) here and get them from ebay.
Have a good one
It depends on what sort of sound you're looking for. I, for instance, appreciate the lush midrange (vocals, many instruments) of my Thinksound Rain headphones. They're durable, too. I accidentally put them through the washer and they came out just fine.
Thinksound's TS-02 would be a good model for a cell phone. I'd buy them myself if I wasn't already happy with my Rockboxed Sansa Fuze.
The guy who owns Thinksound, Aaron, is amazing. I sent him an email complaining that none of the included eartips were a good fit for my ears, and he contacted the factories in China to see if any others could be special ordered for me. The answer was no, but it's the thought that counts.
I don't know about the Klipsch. But I had the Zagg ones and decided to use my stock ones from my old xv6700 instead, just wasn't a fan.
I use skull candy 50/50. Great sound and bass. Just wish the in line mic would work.

I've been using Meelectronics as of the last year or two. They have lots of great low priced ones (my current pair is $10 and are on par with $40 pairs I've owned). They also have some higher priced ones in the $50-$80 mark, and from looking at the reviews, they're worth that much as well.
The company is all over Amazon. Check out a few pairs of their headphones and some of the reviews, and if you go with them, enjoy!

I have Sennheiser IE-8 and they are really good earbuds. Before you ask what is the best, you should give us some info on what's your budget, and music.
Will you be able to spend $400+? Are you looking for custom made IEM and can spend $900+? What interests you the most, bass, mid, or high?
Are you an audiophile at head-fi? Maybe I know you.

How's the original Samsung headphones provided in the package? Good or bad?

Hey guys.
I want to know your opinion on this...
What do you think of the stereo headphones with mic that are included in the Galaxy Note package? My Galaxy Note is black, yet it came with white headphones... guess that's what everyone gets. Although, I saw original Note headphones that are BLACK on the internet... Oh well...
At first, I thought they'd be rocking, since I previously owned a Galaxy Nexus and let me tell you, the headphones that came with it were better than the pair of A4Tech MK-650 I have been using. I wasn't expecting Samsung to have taken such an ugly turn and make the headphones so bad for the Note! They did it perfectly for the Nexus, and now I think I know the reason : it was Nexus, Google thing... with standards...
Of course, when I sold my Nexus, I gave the headphones with it... Didn't think the ones for the Note will be this crappy!
1. They don't stay in my ear properly. Even tried the larger rubber "plugs", even the ones from A4Tech... It's about the headphone's construction itself : it's made not to fit perfectly over your ear...
2. Quality sucks. I can't listen to music with these. At least not drum & base .
So, how are you feeling about your headphones? Maybe I got a bad pair... or maybe that's just the way they are, crappy (I go for that one)...
Also, if just by chance you are using or have used a pair of Galaxy Nexus headphones on the Note and worked... I'd like to know . I'm ready to pay 10 extra bucks for a new pair of Galaxy Nexus headphones, just so they don't fall off from my ear when I'm talking to somebody...

I tried two pairs of Dr. Dre (not the same, one was Stereo one was Mono or something, looked pretty much alike, but were different) at a showroom a few weeks ago... They were the kind of headphones that you put over your head, and they rest on your head, you know... The big kind of headphones. Oh well...
They sounded nice... but when I activated Bass Enhancement in Music Player, they started to buzz and crack and buff and prr... lol.
So... Beats by Dr. Dre... excellent at bass... nope.avi. My A4Tech MK-610 I'm using right now are better .

It's funny. Everyone's saying that the iPhone/iPod headphones rock. I tried them... they're meh. I mean, I got used to in-ear headphones... all other headphones that are normal, not in-ear (like the iPhone ones, for example)... I feel like they're hurting my ear, lol.
The sound quality was pretty nice... although not as crisp as with the in-ears I'm using (naturally).
I'm planning to buy a pair of those headphones for my girlfriend, actually. She doesn't like in-ears. Also, those iPhone headphones have a mic, and it worked with every Android device I tried, so...
Her pair of original HTC headphones got... f***ed up. Left headphone leaks current, rofl.
In my opinion...all the headphones I got with Samsung devices SUCKED...
Extremely poor sound, uncontrolled, random bass boosts and drops... They're definitely not for the audiophile, but more for the conversationalist, who wants to clearly hear the person on the end of the line when...say...driving or walking down the street.
The ultimate sound I was able to get out of my Note was through Sennheiser CX 400 in-ear headphones, along with Power Amp (and a few tweaks there). I'm betting it's even better with something like Sennheiser IE8's, but those are pretty pricey :laugh:

Scribbled from my Note coupled with the best (CleaNote) ROM and (NoteCore) kernel by g.lewarne
My headphones broke so I was forced to jar these before I brought some more.
At first I was cringing at how poor they were, especially as the stock ROM output such poor quality sound.
I forced myself to listen to them and can confirm that they burn in an incredible amount, its like they are a different pair of earphones. The highs are tighter and the mid range has improved a lot. The bass is ok if you get a good fit, and I found if you get some good eq setting on power amp it does a world of good.
IM at the stage now whether I think I need new headphones, I listened to some burned in audio technica m50s and they didn't have the pronounced treble these have, although the bass was tighter.
I've owned shure and klipsch earphones before and although they're not as good as the shures, they're probably not far off the klipsch right now.
The added bonus of a built in Mic and controls is also really useful

The bass is ok if you get a good fit, and I found if you get some good eq setting on power amp it does a world of good.
IM at the stage now whether I think I need new headphones, I listened to some burned in audio technica m50s and they didn't have the pronounced treble these have, although the bass was tighter.
I've owned shure and klipsch earphones before and although they're not as good as the shures, they're probably not far off the klipsch right now.
The added bonus of a built in Mic and controls is also really useful

I have no idea what the burn in you're talking about is. It can't be the typical burn in us SAMOLED users are used to (screen f**ked up)...
Yeah, I like the bundled mic and controls these Samsung headphones have... but God, I can't make them fit in my ear, NO WAY. Plus they just sound terrible.
Never heard of Shure or Klipsch... But then again, I'm not in the mighty America, so all I ever heard of is A4Tech, Pioneer, JVC and Sony... stuff like that, you know.
I just miss my Galaxy Nexus headphones... they were the sh*t!!!!!!!!
Oh yeah, now I heard of Shure. That's part of your nickname, haha .

worst! i wonder why samsung uses those pair of headset. no bass at all. im using Audio-Technica CKS77 on my note and its pounding!
Pretty good compared to my original htc HD2/Desire HD earphones, and to another under $10 pair of mine :laugh:
I like them. They're decent.
Nothing incredible but still a bajillion times better than the crappy Apple ones.
they ok for me.
Never thought I'd say it about three headphones but the note ones are fine. I use then in bed when my fiance and I fall asleep on different continents thanks to Skype. Use my beats studio for music but stock are OK for music too

I was so offended that they were white. My SGS2 stock headphones were black. I had to buy a black headphones just so no one would confuse me from having an iPhone from a far. Apple can suck my Note.
IMO, any and all stock headphones people get are an excuse by the manufacturer for throwing something in. The regular person might say otherwise (that is, if they're not serious about their audio, i'd be more than happy to agree with them) but to these tin ears, they suck a**. Whatever I get gets thrown in an old shoe box with 10-odd pieces and counting. They never get used. Ever. I use my AT CK100 on my note, jh16 on my sansa clip+pico slim, and full-size RS1is on a rockboxed iPod5g.

Good Over-Ear headphones?

Hey guys, I listen to music on my S3 for about a total of 3 hours a day when walking to university / work, and I would like to have something more comfortable then the in ear from Samsung. I would like something that's over the ears, and not too expensive. Around $100.
I found these:
http://www.amazon.com/Audio-Technica-ATHM30-ATH-M30-Professional-Headphones/dp/B00007E7C8/
But are those too big for walking around?
And does anyone make any over ear headphones that have volume controls built in?
i use klipsch image one's. theyre not "noise cancelling" but they do a good job of blocking ambient noises, bass is deep and very good klipsch quality. tried the beats(all of them), theyre more for the looks than sound quality.

Does the three button control work on Android? Or is it iphone only?

I looked and looked but could not find anything over the ear that controlled the volume for android.
** why all the support for the fruit...
These headphones are just incredible. Great sound and comfort. They seal very nicely to give you a bit of noise cancellation as well. Incredible customizations- Check out the website.. solrepublic.com

Some people might berate me for this, but I used skull candy's Hesh 'phones for ages. I'm neither rich nor an audiophile, so I found them great. The volume controls work, too. You can pick them up cheap since the Hesh 2 came out. The 2nd ones are probably not a huge leap forwards.

I'd recommend these. They're pretty cheap considering, and I really like the sound quality of them. They're also very comfortable and come with a nice long cable and a short cable because it's removable.

I'm just waiting for the new V-Moda M-100's to be released on Amazon (for under $300) so I can finally replace my 8-year-old pair of Sennheiser 590's. (My Sennheiser's compressed its foam padding, and lost the speaker driver protection foam; I've replaced a damaged cable 3 times, and the headphone jack is finally on the fritz too). I like to buy a GOOD pair of headphones rarely, instead of pieces of crap that fall apart too soon.
