Hello everyone!
Before buying the GS II, I'd like to know whether anyone has used the Klipsch S4i with this Phone, and whether the impedance match/mismatch isn't a problem (i.e. do they sound great without any distortions or missed pitches?).
How about the buttons - what ones work? And the mic for calls?
Thanks!
Edit:
Okay, bought the S II, and as others have said, the S4i's Mic works during calls, the play/pause button works for Music, and the sound quality is awesome
Using the S4i and it works great. Only the answer call button works, everything else doesn't.

Thanks Vulpix!
When you say the answer call works, do you also mean that the mic works during calls? And can it be used to play/pause?
I have the X10i and it works nearly perfectly.
Works:
Sounds amazing - you can still pick out flaws in high-end MP3 or AAC recordings compared to lossless stuff.
Mic works for calls.
Mic button works to answer or drop calls.
Mic button works in music and other players (Amazon's, Samsung's, Google Listen) for 1 click pause, 2 click skip
Doesn't work:
Volume controls don't work.
Obviously, the S4i doesn't sound as good as the X10i, but since it's the same impedance and the same mic assembly, I think you'll get the same breakdown.

Hey big_adventure,
Yeah I suppose the S4i's might work along the same lines.
I'm least bothered about the Volume control. It's the other functions that you mentioned are working that I care about. Thanks!
Guys pls someone who has tested the Stock earphone with Klipsch S4i give their opinion?
I mean if you have to do a literal comparison then....
Is the volume level better than stock?
Is the Sound Quality better than the stock headphone?
Please guys, iam confused whether or not to buy Klipsch S4i as i have few options of headphone where i live. Thanks in advance.

Yes the sound quality is much better than that of the stock headphones. However, they don't work with the Galaxy S. You have to hold down the center button to get the good quality.
Could someone let me know if that happens with the S2?

Guys please ignore my signature as iam going to sell off my S1 and buy the S2.
Please guys anybody who has tried Klipsch S4i with S2 answer the above queries.
I have an ordinary S4 (non-i) and the sound quality is perfectly fine. Comared to my old Desire anyways, which also sounded really good.
Regarding volume control using different headsets with the SGS2 I've finally found a solution that works for me: Headset Droid It lets you assign different actions (including rising and lowering the phone's volume) to your headset's key/keys. I've tried it with the stock headset and works great! The link I include is for the 1 day trial version, if you try it and you like it's only 0,99€
Anyone tried to use KeyEventDisplay?
If the +- Buttons give results it's easy to get it working right.

Hi Enthrall,
I want to know if you have to compare klipsch s4i with the stock headphone, then....
Is klipsch S4i volume louder than the stock headphone.
Is klipsch S4i sound quality better than the stock headphone.
Please please reply this query. I want to know because there is limited options where i live and want to know whether it is really any improvement in buying them as i like my sound loud.
Thanks a ton.

I haven't unpacked the stock in-ears that came with the GS II I'll try them out today evening.
What you can be sure of, though, is the S4i's sound quality being far superior to that of the stock ones. Compared to the stock of my GS, these are indeed much better.

I know but the overall audio output quality of SGS2 is not so great, and for all my experience the big part of a great audio come from the audio processor, in these case a crappy one without voodoo support
So i don't know if it is the case to spend € 70,00 into a good pair of earphone, when they cant be so good due to the audio processor.
This are just my thought, that's why I'm waiting for a small comparison

Hi all,
I'm wondering what headset (Bluetooth/Wired) you use for your Note? I'm using Marshall Minor, but I still find the volume not loud enough.
Would any of you recommend something else? I live in Hong Kong which is fairly noisy, so something that has good volume would be great.
Thanks in advance!
I haven't got a Note yet, but I use the Sony MW600 bluetooth headset with my HD2. And I'd be lost without it - best thing I've bought!
No problems syncing to the device, it has remote control (pause, next/previous), hands free talk as it has built in mic, and comes with in ear buds, which are very good indeed. They block out quite a bit of external noise too, but you can plug in any headset you want to it if you want to go to higher spec headphones. Battery lasts about 10 hours continuous use, and it will re-charge of your Note's charger.
I'm not an audiophile, but I do like music. And it does me fine.
http://www.handtec.co.uk/product.ph...w600---black?gclid=CLftmIS1n6wCFYEZ4QodOzpc_Q
Edit - Just had a look at the Marshalls, and these would offer a tighter fit in the ear then the Marshalls, so would block out more external noise. I wear mine in work, even if i'm not listening to music. I work in the print industry with loud machinery, and they are better than the ear plugs we get given, which reduce external noise by 27 dB. If I'm listening to music in work while my machines are running, and you want to chat - then you ain't gonna get through unless you're in my face!

That's a pretty sweet headset. How much does it stick out after you put it on? Does it get loose easily? I used to own a pair of the Sony is800 headset and it would fall out easily. I was wondering if this is the same.

My previous headset was the Sony Ericsson HBH-IS800
Compared to the Sonys:
- They seem to fit better in my ear (they come with 3 different bud sizes)
- The earbuds are slightly larger and so I guess they do stick out a little more, though I haven't noticed any issue with it
- An extra 2 hours of call/music time
- Have FF/RW controls as well as volume adjust (The Sony's only have Play/Pause/Answer)
- I haven't had any issues with people hearing me or me hearing other people when using them, but I've yet to test them somewhere really noisy
- They come in Red (if that's your thing)

Thanks for the comparison. How's the sound quality compare to the Sony?
I was thinking about this but didnt bother getting one once i saw the Note, not as big as the press would have u believe!
I was considering the NOKIA J - i has a small clipable dock so i wouldnt have to have it in the ear all the time...
3 months standby time
Auto answer when taken out of dock
Few more feature i cant remember now, worth having a look at.

Besides being a gadget phone nut I am also a sick buyer of headsets. I have been in search of the perfect headset forever ..
There is one by Sony that I love the way it fits. They don't make it any more and every now and then I find one on eBay ..
I have the Sennheiser bluetooth headset. If you look hard you can find one new on eBay most of the time for about $60 .. I like that one a lot because I have small ear holes and those go on the outside of your ear ..
I also have 2 Bang & Olafsen bluetooth headsets .. One left ear which I am keeping and the other right ear which I am gonna sell when I find it .. I also have the wired Bang & Olafsen head set. I read that it has a teeny tiny microphone somewhere .. I don't know if that is my model .. use it for listening to music ..
I actually have a box of discarded bluetooth headsets. I should put them all together in one lot and sell them. Maybe I will do that today. Don't know if I can find all the chargers though .. They are all discarded because I find them uncomfortable to wear.
For music or movies I use the Sennheiser M400s which have a nice balanced sound and good battery life. For calls, it's hard to go past the Plantronics Discovery 975 - small and sleek, super comfortable to wear, and really good battery life (especially with the included charging case).......
I can't wear anything that doesn't go around the ear. And if it goes in the ear, ugh. After a half hour I have to take it out because it gets painful. Maybe if I had bigger ears .. or Man Ears .. it wouldn't be so bad. They are doing hearing aid implants now, maybe they could do a little bluetooth implant ??

Any chance you can take a picture with the headset on? I want to see how it looks on and have an idea on how much it sticks out. I cannot find a pic or review anywhere for this headset.
I got these 2 days ago from Amazon:
amazon.de/Philips-SHB9001-00-Bluetooth-Headset/dp/B00424O4RU/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1320610417&sr=8-1[/url]
the quality while talking is not the best but its enough for me.
Despite the positive comments about the quality of just listening to music, i can hear some "scratches" when a song gets "heavier". This is my first BT Headset so maybe its normal for BT headsets, or i just overlooked a setting i have to change in the Software.. Hint, anyone?

Do you have a budget in mind? I think we can offer better suggestions if you give us a budget range.
I use Sennheiser IE8 connected to a Sony/Ericsson Bluetooth receiver on the go, and a small digital analog converter/amplifier by NuFore together with the headphones when working.

Hi, thanks for replying. I do not have a budget in mind, my usual principle is to pay what's worth its salt.
So far, everyone's recommended bluetooth wireless headsets, I'm not a big fan of charging stuff, having need to recharge my phone nightly already. But if there are no better wired devices out there, I might as well get Bluetooth because call quality is more important to me than music quality which my Marshall Minor does just fine.
I'm looking for a $100 max wired in-hear headset with mike and very complete remote too. It seems Android is not very friendly with those at all, so I'm thinking I'll have to go Bluetooth. What I found:
- http://www.etymotic.com/ephp/mc2.html, if their software works on Note (untested)
- a-JAYS One+, coming in Dec.: http://www.jays.se/products/earphones/a-jays-one-plus.html (uses software too)
- Sennheiser just confirmed they have nothing wired.
- Klipsch: Image S4A http://www.klipsch.com/image-S4A-headphones being adapted for S2, Note = S2 ?
- Samsung: told me to go f... (...ind a solution by) myself
Soft: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.kober.headset , and others, look for "headset control". This one has a trial version, yeahhhh ^^
EDIT: I'm putting everything worthwhile I find in this post, so as not to spread it all over the place.

hi all... just like to pop a quick question:
does the Gnote able to accept the standard wired headphones w/mic from other brands for example: UE? i am on galaxy S and i have been searching for headphone w/mic to replace the original ones from samsung but as usual when i connect other brands of headphone w/mic to my S; all i can hear is the music.. whenever i am making calls the headphone fails me...

I'm looking for some headphones, specifically in-ear ones, that work with Android and have a built in Mic and volume controls. I know that many of the ones made for iPod/iPhone don't work with Android properly so I want to make sure I don't make this mistake. I'd quite like the earphones to be good quality ones in the price range of £30 - £90 if possible. I've looked around but not found much. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks!

I'm using ones from my SGSII. Work perfectly, nice deep base, mic works perfectly fine as well.
Overall, I'd say my SGSII headphones are surprisingly the best earbuds I ever had. To my ear, best frequencies.
So perhaps you can just buy SGSII replacement buds.
Beats in-ear earphones. At hmv they are reasonably cheap. I'm pretty sure you can find ones for less if you try gumtree or eBay. Just make sure they're genuine, Fake ones WILL break within a few days (past experience). http://m.hmv.com/product/details/171063 <---- those are really good quality, and well within your price range.

You should try these out. They are called a-JAYS ONE+, and they are made for android. They also have their own android app where you can customize the button to perform different functions (change track, adjust volume, launch apps etc) the app is called JAYS headset control. The headphones are really good themselves. I would have posted the links, but since I'm new I gotta wait. But I hope it helps

On my old phone, Galaxy S5, there was a small mod that enable dual speakers and it totally made the experience better. So, can somebody figure out how to enable dual speakers on the LG G4? I know it has to be in mixer_paths.xml, but I don't know what lines to edit

Just out of curiosity what do you need it for? Audio play back or phone call? Seems like an interesting request as the ear piece probably cannot put off good loud sound without peaking.
Doing this mod is very dumb in my opinion. The earpiece speaker on the phones is put at certain cut of sound frequencies in order to focus in the voices and not so much background noises. So in order to having it be a speaker will not sound so good at all plus also the risk of blowing it will be much greater for it isnt meant for audio other than for phonecalls for it also is much smaller than the dedicated speaker for music.

I don't listen to very high volume on the G4 speaker at all, and I also use speaker optimization in V4A. I really like the the stereo effect this would probably give if the ear piece got enabled. I loved this very much on my Galaxy S5 and I can respect your opinion.

Audio playback is the main reason. This mod was very good on the Galaxy S5, you can find the mod in the threads on that device somewhere.

I'm right there with you! I had this mod on my G3 as well. Loved the surround effect. If the mixer path is edited properly (balancing the earpiece at a lower level compared to the rear speaker) no damage and great sound effect. Unfortunately as much as I have tried, the G4 mixer path xml is a nightmare to navigate, I've tried countless times to obtain this surround effect using the previous device mod as a guide, but no dice. Best I could do was gaining a respectable volume increase in call and speaker output without getting into distortion territory. Love the G4 but some of the new files are quite the pain!!!

Very true! After seeing the G4's mixer_paths.xml in my file browser, my eyes were twitching! I have no idea where to start editing so I was hoping the fabulous XDA G4 community could help, but at this point all I'm getting is: "your gonna blow out your speakers" or "this is dumb". But at the same time I can see where they're coming from, there's a chance the speaker(s) can blow or this mod may not be worth fighting for.

I had the HTC Boombass as a free promo when I got my HTC One M8. It was set up to provide bass over and above the normal HTC M8 speakers and worked quite well. That kinda falls in line with what you are saying about the earpiece, it could be used to add a little something without trying to equal the loudspeaker in range or volume but could still prove useful to the overall sound.
Had a mod like this on my Nexus 5 as well. Tweaked properly it can sound great.
there is actually a thread where a stereo mod is published, also is installable with(or without) magisk

Suggest me a good in-ear earphones under $100 with high impedance. I want to get rid of this horrible hissing noise.
This has nothing to do with impedance. I have in-ear headphones with 16 Ohm impedance (JBL T110) and there's noise as well. But I have on-ear headphones (Connect IT CI-235) and there's no noise at all. The issue is how much voltage can the headphones take. So I would recommend you to get some on-ear ones and if they're above 20 dollars they should do the job.

Thank you for the advice but imho, on-ear headphones are not that mobile.

That is odd then. As I've said I have 16 Ohms and I don't have any noise at all. Well better take the extra precaution if your budget is 100 dollars

Actually I do have 16ohm impedance earphone. Sony EX-15AP. Hissing is very much audible.
It's really weird, I have never heard this hissing.
I even just tried a pair of free ones I was given free on a sightseeing bus, quality is rubbish but still no hissing, I get a crackle if I twist the jack but that's it.
Problem is combination of low impedance and high sensitivity - which is pretty much case for majority of IEMs. Bigger headphones are often less sensitive so they do not tend to have the hissing issue. For 100usd, I would suggest buying any headphones you like + iEMatch impedance adapter (https://ifi-audio.com/portfolio-view/accessory-iematch/) - particularly if you need mic/buttons.
Edit: per iEmatch manual, mic/buttons on headphones will be disconnected by this adapter, so better verify with Ifi company before purchase.
Budget version would be ChiFi headphones (KZ, Senfer, ..) + cheap impedance adapter, but beware that this combination doesn't allow usage of cable with mic/buttons. I am quite happy with the budget solution..
Just flash the hissing noise fix and you can use any earphones

What's that? There was one "fix" flying around few months ago, but it did absolutely nothing (modified some parameters in mixer path xml file with no effect whatsoever). I would love to have something which actually works..

That's actually what the "fix" does. It's a hardware issue so no soft fix

There's a magisk module you can flash here in the forums. Om My phone it removes almost all hissing :good:

Link please? I saw and tried only one and that was useless - I even tried to decrease the headphones gain in the xml file by ~99% and it didn't do anything.

I'm using the nougat version on flyme os. But I've tried om stock Oreo too and it removes almost all hissing for me. Go for the magisk version and be sure to get the right version.

Unfortunately I hear absolutely no difference in the hissing or overal volume of headphones. I'd say it's only a placebo "fix".. On the other hand, decreasing the headphones gain via custom kernel masks the hissing quite effectively - hissing is still the same, but as you have to turn up the volume, Signal To Noise ratio increases as well and you can't hear the noise over music. Quiet songs/passages are still bad though.

iam using ATH-M50X everywhere
But Otherwise i cant use In Ear with gum and so iam on the way to build my own In Ear Monitors :fingers-crossed:

I got interested on this. I looked for some cheap ones but there is something i dont get, there are 30, 70 or 150 ohms so i wonder which one i have to pick. And some of those even say that they dont work on mobile phones so... I get even more confused.
And want to know if you found some cheap ones with the mic/buttons function

I guess it only changes the gain or amplifiction. But my piston 3 almost gets no hiss with that fix. Super noisy without.

70 ohm should be fine, it will remove pretty much all the hissing and keeps overal volume high enough. Or there is an even cheaper and more versatile alternative - cable with analogue volume control (https://www.ebay.com/itm/131489435905). By turning the volume down, you effectively increase the impedance and hissing disappears. And you can fine tune it to each headphone. Though still no mic/button control.. I have similar one with button and mic on the cable and it makes wonders, but I purchased it years ago and can't find it anymore. Try to look for one in your favorite shops, you might have more luck.

No idea what it does, on my phone nothing audible. From the description it should do what custom kernel with sound control does - only mask hissing.
Just get a pair of Apple EarPods. They have an impedance of around 40-45 ohms and work great.
