read few reviews have saying poor audio quality..

If you decide against Bluetooth I highly recommend ZAGG smartbuds! Love them! Better than my £90 phonaks

About the same as my skull candy low riders ( not as much base) but not close to my boss ones but for general use they are good enough. My ears are happy with them.

Moto S9HD

im partial to nokia 905i's but those are headphones and not earphones i suppose

Jawbone Icon for the car... Plantronics Backbeat 903/906 for the gym. (Stereo bluetooth that wraps around the ear and has a soft cord that wraps behind the neck.)

Its terrible. I hate my S-10 HD's. They sound terrible with terrible bass and they are very uncomfortable. The S-9 HD's were much much better imo. The sound quality was better and it was slightly more comfortable. They both take a lot of getting used to. Idk why Motorola would make a product that is worse than the one before it.
Are the freedom jaybird headphones good? I think I will buy that next time. Motorola is falling off man. I hope Google helps them see the light.

Jaybird Freedom
Check out Jaybird Freedom's. Best headphones all around that I've owned. Includes a mic too.

They work just fine with the Nexus. The main reason I picked these up was the sweat-proof guaranty. I read some reviews for other headsets saying that they would crap out after a couple of uses while doing any type of exercise. The two issue I see with these is the left ear sounds a little louder than the right, the other is that when the battery is low, you get a warning every 30 seconds. The warning doesn't come untill the battery is really about to die.

My opinion is to purchase this:
Jabra Clipper
I purchased a couple of bluetooth headsets but they never really compared to the options you get with regular headsets. This options, you don't have to choose. I use it while running/working out and provide a great compromise.

If you're a runner or sweat heavily then I would recommend against any bluetooth headphones that go into your ear. I have had 3 S9's go out on me and I heard the issue is not fixed in the S10's either. I had looked for other options but most of what I read lead down the same road. If you sweat a lot then these BT headphones will short out.
The best option for me was either the jabra clipper or the sony ericcson mw600. I went with the Mw600 which allows me to use my own headphones and obviously even if i sweat on those it won't short out the bluetooth device since it's no where near my ears.

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 .

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
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda app-developers app

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.

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).

Included Headphone Quality

So, I've had the phone for a week now and I've been using eiher my generic Samsung headphones or my oversized Beats Pro. I decided to give the included headphones a try. Man, these were horrible. Am I the only one that thinks these are crap?

I used them and I find them to be fine, considering they were included with the phone. Nothing beats my Bose though, in my opinion.

Audiotechnica ATH-M50 all the way!

They really are awful. They feel like they will break in your hand. I tried them just to see how they would sound, never touched them again. I use my skull candy ear buds. Not the best in the world, but they have a good flat eq; which I like being a guy who records, mixes, and masters music.

They're unmarked noise-cancelling Beats. They're not amazing quality, but they're certainly not terrible. 7/10 maybe. This has been discussed in the other forums for the carriers who received headphones with their phones. Seeing as I didn't pay extra for it, and not all carriers received it with their phones, I'm quite happy with it. The headphones work, they didn't come broken or defective, so why complain? Beats is designed for low bass, so if you're listening to country or pop music, it's not going to sound great. While listening to the music genres it was designed for, I was pleasantly surprised at how well the music came across. Listening to spoken audio or music with little bass will not be perfect on any Beats product, let alone some free earbuds. Bose or Audiotechnica will blow these out of the water across the spectrum, but when you didn't pay specifically for them, these are quite satisfactory.

true, I do wish I kept the real pair that came with my Rezound.

I only opened them to try them out and the build quality is really bad, and the audio quality is not far behind (with or without the Beats setting).

They're definitely not terrible, but the difference between these and a higher end set is pretty noticeable.

No doubt a there but its an included set no real high expectations. Rezound was different but beyond that they've all been about the same.

I thought they were quite comfortable and sounded decent...

for included earbuds they sound pretty good. I currently use them at work and find the nose isolation to be better then average.

Stock earbuds at least have a mic, right? I got a pair of ATH-M30 but I sure can't walk and talk with them (not that I'd walk around with over-ear headphones anyawy).

Bluetooth Stereo Speakers?

Hello! I'm searching for Bluetooth Speakers for my Nexus. I don't want some little speakers I can carry around with me, I want some big speakers at in my room. Any recommendations ?

I can't post links yet, but the TDK V513 Wireless Sound Cube is the best speaker I own. And I own many, I have a problem with buying too many speakers.
For real though, at $100 it's a steal for the quality sound and power it puts out. I guarantee you'll love it.

Best money I ever spent. Not a boom box, but pretty decent, especially for the money. Would buy again. Works great.
go to amazon and look at the Creative D80

I have had my eye on the Sony. Can't remember the model number - but their high-end one is 40 watts.
I have a yamaha thr-10 that will knock your socks off for its size. But do have to plug in. May shop for a bluetooth receiver for it. It is also a mean guitar amp.

link to the sony: http://store.sony.com/premium-bluet...00/cat-27-catid-All-iPod-Clocks-Speaker-Docks

I have the Logitech Z600 and they work great with my laptop, phone and tablet. If you pause one and play the other, it immediately switches so I only need one set for three devices.
They sounds pretty good. There are probably some better sounding ones out there but not with the functionality that the z600s have.
I recommend.

Samsung DA-E570 looks like a solid contender in that price range.
That, or try to find a used B&W Zeppelin Air. Simply amazing product.

The new G-Boom should be a good loud speaker. The reviews are great on it.

I'll never understand why people are willing to blow so much money for basically no reason. Get a bluetooth adapter like the HTC Stereoclip (yes it works) or any number of a bazillion others and hook them up to your basic existing system.
OR, don't use bluetooth, because it's barely FM quality on a good day, doesn't have enough range to go outside of a single room, and most importantly: it is NOT worthy of some $100+ speakers. It blows my mind why people are willing to throw away that much cash for something a $20 pair of computer speakers from the 90's were capable of doing, all because it has some fancy plastic case on top of it. (Lookin' at you, Jambox)
