I just buy them from aliexpress. Item: Huawei-Active-Noise-Cancelling-earphone-AM180 for only $ 74.89.
The seller sent me an email indicating they only have then gray colour in stock.
It is supposed to receive these headphones in two weeks.
I'll tell you...
:fingers-crossed:
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

10 points on a scale of 10.At work a loud machine is producing a monotonous noise,this is reduced to approx. 10 % of its original level by the active noise cancelling without music on,only insert the earbuds and switching on the phone kills 90 % of this noise.After you switch on the music you can barely hear the monotonous noise.Only one of many reasons to buy this fantastic device.

Noise cancelling works with supplied earbuds MDR-NC31EM,two microphones in the earbuds feed the noise cancelling software in the Z2,
I don't know if there are more headphones available working with this system,the 3.5 mm jack should have 5 instead of the standard 3 rings.
With my Sennheiser MM100 bluetooth on-ear headset the Z2 sounds great,only without the noise cancelling.
I've tested it on my office with AC and at home with centrifuge in the other room (washing machine).
Unfortunately, I can't say I'm impressed with the results. Need more testing tomorrow...
Sent from my D6503 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
I'd give the active noise cancelling a 9 out of 10 when paired with the Sony MDR-NC31EM headphones. With the volume turned up to a normal level I can't hear myself typing on my keyboard, or doing the dishes, or my cat meowing for treats, or my wife talking, or pretty much anything other than my music unless I reeeally listen for it. The sound quality of the NC31EM isn't the best, but it's far from the worst. It's definitely better than any headphones that came with previous cell phones. Before I got my Z2 I refused to use noise cancelling because I thought it unnecessarily tampered with the sound quality and would only wear my Grado 325, Ultimate Ears TripleFi 10, or Shure SE530 headphones. The Z2 & NC31EM is a very good combo for most listening occasions.

I have QC15, which is similar to QC3. I haven't had a chance to test them side by side on a plane after purchasing of this phone.
However, in day-to-day life, z2 and QC15 produce similar results as far as I can tell. To be honest this is the only reason why I thought about buying Z2 and switching to android from an iPhone.
I first thought tgis thread is about the microphone noise cancelling when I call someone
For me both work just fine.
The headphones are small and cant perform like a bose but for those small earbuds I give them a 9 of 10.
They cant cancel (completely) the noise of train or a loud street but for music it works fine

Before release I read that one would have to buy the MDR-NC31EM (a fourth contact on the 3.5 mm jack for the second mic) as an extra, but I guess competitive pressure made them appear out of the box! <g>
Don´t know of any other special headset like that.
Think Sony spilled the marketing beans on this feature. Almost no reviews mentioned this unique feature, and when they did, then practically only in passing.
Anyone who has a commute on public transport should check out active noise cancelling headphones! I love ´em. Filter out ambient noise and loud people with idiotic conversations. <yippih!>

I´ve been owning the QC3 for almost two years and they are great.
I was a bit p*ssed when the cable developed a problem after a little more than half a year, but when I hit the right guy at the local Saturn / Mediamarkt here they swapped it without a tone. (The incompetent one before told me we´d need to return the whole gadget set and my answer was: "No, you will have to pry the QC3 from my cold, dead fingers. I rather buy a cable at whatever Bose price!" And you know that´s quite a statement! <rofl>)
For this summer I bought QC20i and was awed that the in-ears cancel out more than the on-ears!!!!! I only hope the cabling lasts longer than that of the IE2 I owned before!
So Sony lost out for now, but I may "need" another Android gadget soon. Who knows... <g>

Actually - as said above - the Bose QC20i in-ears cancel out a lot more than the QC3 on-ear ones with the passive dampening advantage. And the QC3 sound a bit murky while the QC20i got brilliant heights even WITH active noise cancelling -- which is said to hamper quality.
And they QC20i work w/o NC with a dead battery. Well, they oughta, cuz you can´t swap the battery. The teeny tiny spare battery for the QC20 was 50 bucks!
So the jury is out again who will be the next winner.
Guess the QC20 will earn their keep as double-duty ear warmers for winter.
The QC20i for the rest of the time for ALL mobile gadgets.
The Z2 waiting in the wings as a possible replacement for the iPhone. (Watch out, Apple!)
Or the next gen with Bluetooth AND active noise cancelling.
Having fun

Problem is I don't get any noise cancellation. For example, now I hear crickets. Putting earphones in my ears and having phone detect and use NC, nothing has really changed. I've tried both NC modes (one with music sign and one without)... turned on youtube video, still nothing. The only benefit is from earphones actually being in my ears, but the same effect I get with regular $40 earbuds like QuadBeat 2.
I wish if I could somehow test if there is maybe a problem with my earbuds, but so far - effect is nonexistent.
I never owned any noise cancelling headphones before the Sony MDR-NC31EM so i can't compare.
They don't cancel out every small noise. So if i am home and there it is relatively quiet i don't notice much difference when enabling the noise cancellation on the z2.
However if the TV is running, driving by train etc. the difference is huge. It can still be heard but it is not annoying anymore when hearing music.
at work with some normal monotone cooling sound from PCs the noise is also nearly completely reduced.
I am not sure but i think the noise cancellation does not work very good for a higher pitch noise. So maybe your crickets do make a too high pitch.
Also one thing i once noticed was when the train door closed with a very loud bang i got a loud crack sound on my headphones which was not really great and really frightened me in that moment. I guess that was just too loud and suddenly to cancel out.
I would say for the price it is a definitive 10/10 if you own the Z2. But i am not sure if more expensive headphones can cancel more.
Using it with my notebook however does not work as it seems it cancels the played sound out again.

If you don´t immediately hear the difference on a plane or train or tram there is something wrong.
Crickets are not exactly the best example. Low frequency continuous street noise is it, not the single car.

TV is a still better use case than anything else. If I don´t want to be distracted by some series my girl friend watches I put on the Bose, turn on music and turn away from the TV -- and I got my island.
Guess it would take a lot more processing power to catch the higher frequencies and the higher I guess they are harder to match and cancel out.
Interestingly the in-ear QC20i dampen most, but I don´t think they dampen (much) more than what I heard from a very brief test with the Sonys.
What goes for the Bose QC20i is the above use case: Hook ´em up to anything / the notebook and cancel out the anything else / TV. You can´t do that with the Z2 buds.
But the QC20 are almost half the price of a Z2.

Thats not true.
At least here in Germany if i look up the QC20 they cost 279 € !!! compared to 38 € of the Sony headphones.
Ohh i see you meant the Z2 itself. Sorry. I was talking only about the headphones supported for the Z2. Of course the phone itself is more expensive.
So far I had no result with:
- air conditioner
- crickets
- street noise (typical city noise coming from the outside, I don't expect it to cancel police/ambulance, but noise certainly)
- friend's PC cooling (my PC is silent under 30dB)
- blue switch mechanical keyboard typing
- coffee shop
...
what else to test?

Are you sure you have the noise cancelling headphones with the Model-Name "MDR-NC31E" ?
Because there where headphones in my package. But they didn't supported noise cancellation and had a different model name.

I vote for the lg tone ultra's...I have them and love them but the 700's are fine too. The sound quality is outstanding on both with the ultra's edging out the 700's. I have both so I can speak from experience. I use the 700's for exercising and the ultra's for my daily commute. I bought some cheap 30 euro pair and that was a mistake. Tried the delycon's and those weren't great either. I haven't used any other bluetooth headphones besides those.

The noise cancelling is good for like on the train/subway when I commute in the mornings and afternoons. Otherwise, the noise canceling is not true noise cancelling to me. I think the sound quality on the ultra's is better but if you have the 730's, i think they had already had upgraded the sound to jbl by that time. I had only the 700's since the 730's weren't available here in europe. I think the bass is richer and the high's better on the ultra's but I'm no audio expert.

No I haven't but I'll be sure to... LG had done a bang up job with the headphones.
Do the Ultra's work well for working out? I'm usually a very sweaty person, so I need a noise cancelling blue tooth that isn't too expensive, like these, and this is the only problem I have before I buy them.
Here's one vote for the sonys.
I dislike rubber and foam earbud tips (work outside, and I like to hear things around me) So being able to use any ear buds or headset with it is great.
Plus on those lgs if one of the earbuds somehow get snagged and break, your sol. Not so with the Sonys, just get another set of ear buds.
But that's just my take.

The ultra's are not cheap. I paid like 80 euros so that's about 100 dollars for these. If you're sweaty person, I might not go for these because the thing lays around your neck. I have no problems with it but I don't have sweat issues. I would think that the sweat may get on and around the neck band and that could short out the electronics. Someone else maybe able to talk on this issue.
The delycons and the cheap Aldi brand that I bought here were the kind that has a single cord connecting the earphones and basically went around the back of your head. I liked the design better of those but the sound quality sucked and they were not noise cancelling. I haven't been able to really find anything besides the plantronics backbeats but those have mixed reviews too. I might still consider them because of the design and the immense amount of money I've already spent on trying all these bluetooth headphones.
Not sure if this was said
I will say those LG Tones "magically" and randomly move around your neck lol. One side will hang further then the other. Read some reviews out there and you will see what I'm saying
Speaking from experience owning the 730's
Sent from my SM-N900P
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?

Can anyone recommend a good set of noise canceling headphones? I use some regular Bose freestyle ESR buds currently. I want something to cancel out the obnoxious people I'm around at school all day. I go for engineering and I hate it when you have find a quiet place to work during the day. I was thinking shut getting the Bose QC 25 over ESR headphones because I've read good things about them, but I wanted to see what other people would recommend. I'm not a big audiophile as long as it sounds as good as my Chevy l current headphones I'll be happy. I was thinking about something like on ear headphones because they would probably work better?
Thanks in advance.
I have the Bose QC15 (over the ear) noise cancelling headphones and they ARE amazing (The QC25's have replaced them). They are a little bigger, but they do a great job of noise cancelling.
Now, if you want an IN EAR version .. don't rule out the Bose QC20i's. I have those as well and they are equally amazing but because they are "in ear" they are smaller and a little more discreet.
I personally love the Bose hardware, so it just comes down to size and what you are looking for. I use the QC20i more, but that is because they are more portable. YMMV
I just bought these: http://www.amazon.com/Harman-Kardon-NC-Cancelling-Headphones/dp/B00A4A3SNW
I don't have them yet, so I can't comment on how good they are, but I have always liked Harman sound.

If they had an in ear version with android controls I would probably get that over the regular headphones. I might wait and see if they update it by next year (15 days or so).... The QC25's are big but I feel like they might sound better because of the bigger driver. Then again I am used to my smaller Bose freestyle in ear ones so I may not notice.

I've had mine since just after they were released (10/13) and I opted for the iPhone version. Since the ONLY difference is that the Android/Windows versions are missing the control buttons, my though was this:
they are the same price and having the buttons will make no difference to Android; However, If I do connect them to my iPod, then I can use the control buttons.
My logic has served me as I use them on my nano at work quite a bit .. and I am able to use the control buttons and pressing the buttons when connected to Android .. does nothing.

Yeah only the middle button works on mine. I know it has to do with how they set up the resistors inside of the headphones. I'm still debating on which ones I want.
Do both the in ear and over ear cancel noise just as well for those who have both?

Yeah only the middle button works on mine. I know it has to do with how they set up the resistors inside of the headphones. I'm still debating on which ones I want.

The active noise cancelling seems to be equally as good in-ear or over-ear. You will get a better passive noise reduction with the over-ear ones due to the fact that it covers the whole ear.

I need to test those out at a boss store. I really like my ear buds, and I used to have seen OE2's before I broke them so a change is nice.

We sell these at my work and they are very good sounding and great at noise cancelling.
bose QC 25
i have the QC25 and i love them. so comfortable! and the active noise canceling is amazing. I am also an engineering student and i can have it on even at the loudest part of the library and not bothered by the people around me. I wear them hours at a time and my ears doesn't get fatique like i would with the in ear headphones. definitely worth the investment over the Beats.

That's good news, I've always liked Bose headphones and their QC line is perfect fit what I need. In going to test then out before I buy them to see if I want the QC 25. Or QC 20's.
Try westones. The triple drivers.

I use my bose qc15 when im at home and i use monster inspiration when on train and busses. They are good if you like bass heavy music.
I just bought the QC 25's and they live up to the great reviews. I can't hear my TV when its extremely loud if Im playing music. This is the perfect way to say dont bother me

Good. I am using my hearing aids bluetooth paired to my phone. Excellent noise cancellation on those Phonaks. For 7K they darn well better be.
I wonder, though, if the wired sound from the Bose is better than the bluetooth. I would need a good equalizer as I have severe hearing loss on mid & higher frequencies.
Your thoughts?

What do you mean for 7k? The Bose QC 25's are 299$
Also I have mild hearing loss from being in the military. (I was am engineer so demolition was my thing) I think these sound great, and I have 2 other pairs of Bose headphones. I'm not partial to their brand, but after trying others I always come back to Bose. They are wired and I don't mind that at all. The cord is completely detachable and they have a great carrying case. I'm not by any means an audiophile so I can't tell you how the highs and lows sound comparatively speaking. The sound is very even and clean and much better than the POS beats that I have tried. I can post some pictures if you want.

The Phonak HA's were 7K. Just need to decide if the QC 25 wired sound would be that $300 better /more convenient than the bluetooth link to my hearing aids.

I would say give it a try the worst that could happen is that they don't work for you. BB has them locally soi would give or a try
If you're really interested in the QC-25's, remember that you can customize the colors of them too (for a price of course). Get them painted to match your style. I've seen the paint jobs in person, and it's top notch. Not to mention it's done by a Bose partner, so they have Bose's warranty as well.

I used to have some old Skullcandy earbuds that I bought discounted in early 2012. Since then they have went out so I had to replace them and got ink'd 2 off Ebay. The pack I got did not come in the original packaging, so I'm not sure if they were fakes, but at any rate they were total junk and one earpiece was not working.
Do you have any recommended earbuds that work well and are priced around $20-25 max ? I use earbuds (corded), no muffs or cordless. Typically they get used pretty heavily at the gym so there's sweat, dropping, etc, etc...hence I don't want to spend too much on earbuds that will get roughed up.
I had some dual driver Xiaomi I bought, they are OK, but nothing too wild. The reviews were good so I was expecting something better, but they were not as good as my old Skullcandy ones.
Bluetooth earbuds are now in the $15-20 range. I personally got a taotronics pair from amazon that are no longer available apparently for $15. The sound is fine. The problem of course is that the battery is about 6 hours of sound and when you are done, you have to make sure you turn them off to save battery. But still, go for them. Not having a cord wrapped around your body is nice.

I'm still partial to Skull Candy's 2XL brand...I picked up a set of Spokes I believe they were called (the ones without a mic) for like $7- $11. Pair them with Viper4android and they're surprisingly good....they can handle more than my Sennheiser set it spent over $80 for.
This isn't really the place to ask about earbuds, if you even mean earbuds and perhaps want IEM's (In Ear Monitors)

Great information. Thanks for the heads up !

Got some SoundPeats from Amazon or $30! They since went down a LOT! You can get em for like, $16 or so. I got the SoundPeats QY9 but some claimed the QY8 had deeper bass. Not sure, but i love em! Bluetooth headphones.
The Sony Extra Bass sound pretty good, especially with V4A and Dolby Atmos. Also durable and comfortable. I've seen them on Amazon for $25-30.

Personally I use Aukee bluetooth earbuds and I love these! I got them at Amazon for about $25 or so. Really good sound. AUKEY EP-B24 Bluetooth Headphones. Android guys did a review on them but I think they understated them. If you use a music player with good EQ they rock. I like doubletwist for that.
Thanks for all the suggestions. I haven't been able to check out these yet as its been a busy time for me but I have lots of recommendations to look into. Thanks for everyone's input!

Well they actually just quit working on me this week. The battery no longer charges so they only work plugged in making them pointless. So, guess my reccomendation was premature.

Klipsch S4 for wired. I really like my Bluetooth Power Beats 2 (sweat and water resistant) with a little bass reduction.
For $25-$30 a set of AKG Y20U earbuds are hard to beat, hands down.
They tested really well against many other earbuds according to The Wirecutter.

I like mine, which live in a zip lock bag at the bottom of a soft briefcase. They roll out and work everytime, no problem. They're tough, crisp, deep, and CHEAP. They also have a built in mic and action button...

I didn't order the bluetooth earbuds. I tried the Ep c2 from aukey, and aukey was a very good advice. For 12 € on amazon together with arise soundmod I really do enjoy the sound of my Nexus for cheap money.
Thanks for the aukey advice :good:
I really recommand hammerhead by razor.
