sorry for my bad english
i found a thread on another forum about a spanish guy who bought an idol 3 (5'5) , when he unboxed the package he realized that the headphones looked cheaper, here is a picture
http ://i.imgur.com/d2cyvYK.jpg
i mean, the headphones are different than these ones
http ://i.imgur.com/NfTHreN.jpg
the guy also said that headphones sound is really dissapointing
what headphones do you have ? and what model is your idol? (for example in my country is 6045l)
EDIT: i can't post outside links, so please remove the space
In Canada, we don't get any headphones with the 6045L

JBL headphone, great quality, with 6045Y
black headphones from idol 3. too much bass from them. poor plastic quality. i sold them very quickly. i don't say they are bad. i just got other so i don't want that they lie in a box.
They are defenitely cheaper than the first version. I got those too, and trust me - their sound is mediocre. However it gets alot better if you disable the JBL sound option. If you do that and plug in a good pair of cans the sound is top notch. And if you want even better sound install CM 12.1.

And don't forget about Viper4Android, that thing makes magic
Having bought four Idol 3/5.5 (6045Y) for my family, I got both versions of those headphones. I find the "cheaper looking" version much better (without the JBL sound option) than the ones on your second picture (the initial version in fact) . This said, both are really sh1tty, compared to my good old Panasonic RP-HJE120 which only lack a microphone. Now, why TCL/Alcatel chose to ship those sh1tty JBL-branded earphones with such a great phone remains a mistery to me, especially when you see the price of my good old Panasonc ones.

about to get an S3
just wonder if the original headsets are good enough
would you please compare them with other headset/hand free that you've used before
i also know how SGS II stock phones sound like so would be good to compare them with that one
heard the bass is good but is it muddy? and how about the mids and highs?
thx you in adv
Mate the best way to describe the stock headphone is, they are crap.
Actually I have to disagree.. They are of insane quality. The bass they can generate is just wooaw.
Also the mid and high tones come with great quality.
You get a ton of little samples with it so they can fit in every ear. The default ones fit my ears just perfect.
I have had a voice with them aswell, also perfect. I have no idea why someone would say they are crap. My brother has bought 110 euro senheiser comparable earplugs and frankly the difference isn't huge at all.
I bought some headphones for £1.99 that just thrashes these through the whole frequency range, plus i find the sound quality from S1,2&3 through headphones and speaker to be pretty mediocre compared to even my old N95 which was much louder and clearer through the range.
well ive heard lots of earplugs/headphones yet, which came with a phone.
those of the S3 are above the average - actually "okay", but nothing compared to decent ones.
i still use my creative ep630 for music (from 2006) since they have much more(!) & better bass.
i wouldnt expect too much of them.
thanks guys !

Like all the bundled headset (excluding the Beats ones that come with some of the HTC gear) the Sammy buds are "usable". If you're a music afficianado (and I'm assuming it's not house/trance you're listening to) then a couple of dollars more on a decent set of 3rd party buds is money well spent.
I found the bass pretty poor and top-end (treble) was far, far too "obvious". Switched in a cheap ($20) set of aJays (http://www.jays.se/products/a-jays-one-plus) and they were far better. Then switched to an old pair of Shure's (e2c's if you wanted to know) and they're perfect (to my ears anyway).
Like most things, the Samsung buds are probably worth slightly more than you paid for them.
Not sure what the best value-for-money option would be - although I'm sure that there's plenty of folks here who have an opinion.
So, I'm currently using the Bose QuietComfort 20 with my beautiful Z3 and aside from the stellar audio quality, I'm thinking of getting something else. I don't like the rectangular block on it and find that I don't use the noise cancelling as much as I thought I would. Perhaps because I'm typically using them while on the streets of NYC, and fear that if I cancel outside noise, I'll quickly become road-kill.
This leads me to my question - what is the best headset out their that still takes advantage of the phone's built-in audio settings (yes, including the noise cancellation)? My guess is that you need to use a Sony headset to be able to use the NC built in to the phone, and while I won't be a big user of it, for those rare times, I'd like to have the option. For my own purposes, I prefer in-ear/ear-buds.
So, what say you? What is the way to go? Let's perhaps offer suggestions with price not a factor, and another suggestion that considers cost.
Looking forward to hearing your thoughts!
I use an MEElectronics M-Duo costs $50-60 but performs as good as many $100+, has very good reviews everywhere.
Its not very noise isolating, but its makes up for it in every other way. It can also take a lot of abuse. I prefer this to my $100 Bose IE2 earphones.

Thanks guys! I guess the question is, what functionality built into our Z3's do we lose when using non-Sony headsets and does it make it worth it to purchase one of the headsets listed within the device? The other question, is why are only those Sony headsets listed (see attached)? They make many other ones, some being highly rated!

HTC used to do the same during the Beats era, it justs sets an equalizer tuned to those Sony headsets, if I am correct.
When I want in-ears, I use Beyerdynamic MMX102IE. They work very well with the Z3 - great sound quality, bass and volume. If I'm going to listen to a podcast or something similar in a noisy environment, I'll use the MDR-NC31EM for the noise cancellation. The latter are good, especially for the price, but they are not as good as the Beyerdynamics for music.
I also use the Beyerdynamic Custom One Pros. They sound awesome, but sometimes I would like more volume from them. I do have a Fiio E6 that I can use them with if I really want to, but it would be nice to get some more power out of the phone. The sound quality is excellent.
Well, I purchased a pair of Degauss Noir's. Should arrive next week and am looking forward to letting y'all know all about them! :good:
Xiaomi Piston 2 works fine with the Z3 (unlike my old Nexus 4...). I can't get the FM radio to work properly though, anyone have any luck?

So, based on your comments, I wet out and bought a pair of the SoundTrue Samsung Galaxy version. The middle button only increases volume or if I triple-click, it will skip to next song (while boosting volume 3 clicks). :crying: Not sure why it words for you and not for me - are you using the D6616 version? I cannot imagine this makes a difference, but maybe?

It is supposed to receive these headphones in two weeks.
I'll tell you...

Hi All,
I own that set and it's worth the price. Especialy that You do not need to charge noise cancelation by microusb but it's automaticaly charged from Mate 7. Sound is amazing, espacialy good if You using public transport or going somewere by plane. Mindblowing. Also if You press button twice it's working like "next" button.

Please tell us more about your experience. comparing it to other headphones possibly? Thanks!
Until now i was using mostly over-ear headphones, i have sony zx600, sennheiser hd238 etc. I also have small beats. But this is something diferent. Small beats just give You a lo of base and nothing more. Huawei gives you rich experience on high and low tones, also noise cancellation is great. If i had to compare it to something, sound it's simillar or better to bose qc20 but with better materials used to build. Check bose qc20 in a shop if you like it , you can easily buy huawei
i use soundmagic pl30, they are cheaper and awesome

+1.
I am rockin E10S(bit less boomy than pl30 but better overall sound IMO). Probably the best earphone for that price, they really perform like much pricier 'phones, plus you get little switch that makes them working with EVERY android phone. They're not noise cancelling tho, only noise isolating but isolation is quite good and enough for most environments.
I'm after Adagios III from Final Audio Design, which are completely different league from (already great) Soundmagic's. Sadly, they don't come with mic and music remote

I bought those AM180 in April 2015 and by December the plug started cutting out the left ear
Have yours failed by now as well?
Anyone know which plug I can order, if it's even possible to self-fix these special AM180 plugs that also charge the headset..?
Will charge function work with the mate 8?
yes it works with MATE 8
Guys,
What are the new supplied headphones like in quality for sound and overall design?
Also Just found this site selling the "official headphones" £29.99 is anyone looking for spare.

Personally, i found them to fit brilliantly, very comfortable, and to me ( i am not a audiophile sorry to say) sound really good, thank you for the link.
Likewise i thought they were a good fit, plus the sound from them sounded (to me) really good with lots of bass that you tend not to get with other stock headphones in ear that i have tried, but im no audiophile either.
As an audiophile I found them to be quite decent for stock headphones. The sound quality is definitely good. I haven't yet had the time to change the ear tips to fit my ears and test if they fall off easy or anything. That being said, I might stick to Bose earphones.
After reading that they are expensive, I was hoping for a way better experience. I like the EarPods/Airpods from Apple way more.
They have way more bass than my B&O headphones I got with the V20. I like'em

That makes me very happy to hear. The main reason I didn't purchase the V2O when it came out was I'd missed out on the pre-order and wouldn't be getting the B&O earbuds. I'm very happy with the AKG set that came with the phone, and really looking forward the the BT AKG headphones I just ordered this morning. That and the memory card I'm looking forward to, along with VR headset / controller.

I felt the sound quality was crystal clear. Treble and vocals are crisp but bass was on disappointing side. It isn't as punchier as the one's we get with HTC One series. Maybe I need to tweak equalizer more to get that heavier bass but default settings didn't sound deep enough. Again, I maybe wrong.
I'm pretty sure this is one more of those cases where you get a practically different product for different markets, but the ones I got in Serbia are pretty crappy :/ I'm no audiophile, but compared to my cheap Xiaomi Piston 3, these are so tinny, low-volume and just plain bad I was actually thrilled when I saw them, tried them right away, but just put them back in the box after 2 minutes...
They're not bad. Pretty clear high end and decent mids but somewhat underwhelming low-end. Still better than the buds that came with my S6E and Galaxy Tab 4 7.0.

I agree. The clarity is great. They def lack bass though. Not bad for free tho. And I appreciate the fabric overlay on the cord

I learned a while ago not to trust loose Samsung headsets.
I've bought replacements for 2 different Samsung "included" headsets, and in both cases the originally included headset sounded great while the replacements sounded cheap.
Their sound profile is slightly U shaped with emphasize on the bass & highs. Not really neutral or truly high end but by far the best stock earphones that I've ever heard.
I'm a musician and I own Sennheiser HD650, HD600, Shure SE425, Etymotic ER4P & AKG K702 with several dedicated headphone amps, so I know what I'm talking about...
I persoanlly think these headphones are the best of any inbox headphones I've ever used and I've used a lot.
Dont forget to use the equaliser aswell it can enhance the sounds for more clarity base and so on.
To be honest, they sound good but are poor in quality. They're cheap plastic and the right one on my pair has driver flex like crazy.
These AKG headphones are ip68/waterproof or not ?
I thought the stunk when I first tried them. I use PowerAmp and found that I had to go in and adjust the equalizer for both headphones and BT.
Very Happy Now!
I deleted Google Play Music before realizing that it was the default music player for the S8 series. I would assume it needs the same tweaks as Power Amp.

Hello guys I am planning to buy a new headphone.
So can you tell me which one is better JBL C100SI or boat bassheads 225???
THANKS IN ADVANCE!
I have recently ordered Boat 225... I will give an update about that after I receive the product...
Boat 225 has high bass while JBL C100SI is more balanced. Matter of personal choice. I had same question few weeks back and finally settled with JBL C100SI.
I have boat bassheads 225 and gotta admit their built quality is top notch. They are metal so a bit heavy but stay in ear with the help of accesories. Bass is the best thing about them

I received it yesterday and checked it with different phones... Generally the bass is great with this earphone...But on miui with mi sound enhancer enabled, the bass level is great... don't know about any custom sound mod... The mic works perfect...I tested it during call and sound recording...And there was no background noises...
The only problem i am facing is that it doesn't fit in my ear...At first even with the accessories it wasn't fitting (or you can say I couldn't make it stay in my ear) at first...But after some time it fits...But after using for some time it hurts (also happened to me with Sony Bluetooth headphone). Maybe because of the accessories... Maybe my ear is different than the makers of this headphone as this happened to me with other headphones too... xD
Anyway the product is good... You can give it a try...
