Using non-Samsung headphones?? Please help! - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So I have a Samsung Galaxy Note II and it doesn't seem to work with my unbranded headphones (which do work). Is it because the headphones have to be Samsung to be compatible with their phones? Why is this, and is there a way around this?
I was thinking of getting some high quality over-ear headphones, however I'd obviously like them to work with my phone too! Any help appreciated!!

It doesn't have to be.

I've been using Apple EarPods for weeks (just got the Note 2) and it doesn't have any problem. Does the original Samsung earphones the only thing works on your device?

I regularly use Beyerdynamic DT250 headphones which have a 3 pole minijack, and recently purchased a pair of soundmagic e10c which has a 4 pole minijack, both work flawlessly, before that I was using xiaomi piston.

Do you have the original Samsung Note II Cover Protection Shell? It allows only for very slim headphone minijacks. Most headphone plugs are to wide behind the threepole, thus they do not enter the headphone jacket far enough. Try Your headphones without the Samsung Cover Case. If they work, then widen the entry of the Cover Case with a pair of Scissors or something similar.

Yes, there are such adaptors. You'll find tons of them on ebay. The great thing about the Note is that both Samsung/Nokia and iPhone/HTC adaptors ( and handsfree earphones ) will work on it.
It's pretty cool how they managed to achieve the ultimate earpiece compatibility for the Note.
The compatibility is not 100 % for iphone model cables.
I have not succeeded in making the volume button work on the galaxy not, the mic is okay though.
the point is i don't want to waste money on adapters just to find out they will not work
after some reading i stumbled upon the sony ericsson mw-600, which is compatible with the note

Decent budget bluetooth speakers for under £50

I am looking for bluetooth speakers for my galaxy note 10.1, i am not wanting to spend more than £50, can anyone recommend any?
I'd like them to be mains operated as i will want them in the one place, i don't want to be messing with batteries all the time.
thanks

Not sure how this works out price-wise, or if it is available to you, but I got this one and really like it. Can also be used as a speaker phone.

I have bought one now, i went with the creative d200 speakers, i got them for £52
Why not just get a Bluetooth Audio adapter and then you can connect to any set of speakers, I have the logitech adapter and it works awesome:

Samsung s2 headphones problem

Hello, first time posting a thread here,
I have a problem with my headphones for samsung galaxy s2, mine official headphones were broken, so i decided to buy another ones..
I bought headphones for s2, they work, but sound is horrible.. On some tracks i cant hear vocals, sometimes bass, and i always hear noise, so i guess they arent working properly..
I also tried my brothers headphones for samsung galaxy s3 mini, and mums for samsung galaxy ace, and any other headphone, and sound remains the same...
I am currently on version 4.1.2 Android, and I would like to know if there is solution for this, its really driving me crazy...
Thanks

Buy quality headphones/earphones.
These one are 20 euro and really good: CM Storm Pitch
Specs:
Headphone:
Driver: 10mm driver
Frequency Response: 10Hz-20KHz
Impedance: 16Ω
Connector: 3.5mm headphone jack
Cable Length: 1.2m
Microphone:
Pick-up Pattern: Omni-Directional
Frequency Response: 70 Hz – 10000 Hz
Sensitivity: -42 ± 3dB (0dB = 1V/pa.1KHz)
Signal to Noise Ratio: 58dB or more
And above all, they look badass
i think that is a hardware problem, not a software. so even if you change your 4.1.2 you will see that problem again.
my opinion is to check samsung original headphones, borrow from your friend if any of them have sgs2. and if that doesn't work then i think it's the headphone jack.
my earphone, also with this problem
now would like to invest in something better klipsch s4 type II
Could someone point me somewhere where I can buy a genuine klipsch s4 II and send it to Brazil??
thanks!!!
I had a very bad sound with the original Samsung headphones which came with my device. After I have lost them, I bought genuine Samsung Galaxy S2 replacement headphones and they look a bit different and are much better.

bit pricey, I'll rather buy a 7.1 surround headset instead of those. (the most expensive is 199 euro, wtf)
A 7.1 headset is ~140 euro

A headset is still 2.0, no matter what.You don't have 7 speakers around you.Surround is just a virtualizer/effect.
For those type of money you can get really good Sennheiser/AKG's.Don't go for beats, jays(what the ****), etc.Sennheiser/AKG/Audio Technica should be in your price range, and for that type of money you can get some really good headphones.

with headset I don't mean ear things, Like the Razor Tiamat
My brother bought pioneer earphones for 10 euro, 20-20k Hz and 100Db, really good sound compared to skullcandy and samsung

I completely forgot about Pioneer, thanks for that.Worth to note too, anything rated like above 18khz is probably unreal as you won't be actually able to hear past that(the human limit is 20khz but I've never seen a track that has this high frequency in it).HDJ-500 are probably good bang for your buck if you want to go without inear's and yet have noise cancelling headphones.They are pretty good although the ear cushions are a bit small, atleast for me and my Dumbo ears.
These should be perfect

Also worth mentioning, the S3 headset is pretty damn good if you want to go cheap.It's like 10 euros and is highly recommended by me.I also had Sony MDR-EX10's and they are pretty solid too,although I've had mine replaced two times as the wires are dodgy(too thin) and tend to get yanked out.Good quality though, 8/10 would recommend.

Do the official N4 headphones work on the N5?

Do the genuine LG Google Nexus 4 stereo headphones HSS-F400 work on the Nexus 5?
These are still available online in a few places online and I like the fact they have the Nexus branding on them. Can anyone confirm whether their sound quality is any good?
Thanks
Any headphones work, I mean they all work. As for sound quality, not sure. I still have the pair from my Gnex and they still work.

There no reason any headphones wouldn't work across any device or manufacturer.
sent from my Nexus 5
Thanks for replying. Well you say that any headphones should work on any device but the headphones that came with my old Samsung Galaxy S and before that the pair from my Sony Ericsson Xperia X1 certainly do not work properly on my Galaxy S3 or my Nexus 5. It's like those headphones were based on a different standard - same jack, different output. That's why I asked.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using xda app-developers app
All 3.5mm sound peripherals are standardized but there could be some alternate function that interferes with the phone's operation if it has inline controls. If it has a mic that should be pretty standard as well.
Most 2.5mm and 3.5mm mobile audio now used TRRS where ring 3 is used for ground and sleeve is mic - standards (CTIA/AHJ) that are good for Apple, HTC, Sony & most Android devices. Some might be wired with ring 3 for mic and sleeve is for ground instead. If you come across it, you can get an inexpensive adapter on eBay to reverse/conver it.
The left & right audio channel are the same, however - so for listening purposes, they all should work ... :fingers-crossed:
I have not received any headset with the N5...but I would like to buy one motorola bluetooth headsets for my N5 as I just used of one of my friend and I really like them...so wondering to go for them....
N5 does not come with nor ship with any headset.
Standard & popular bluetooth headset are fine, I've both Motorola & Jabra BT headset setup for use with it, recognized it & did not even ask for a PIN - but I did change the device name to something more unique so that other BT headsets nearby won't connect to it by "accident" although I usually turn it off unless I'm on the move.

Yeah I agree with that definitely
I just got mine and can't understand why it didn't have other parts of the device to magnetize to. So I cut and bent an extra metal piece from my Scosche magnetic phone holder kit and put on the sides.
