I was wondering if the lg v30+ comes with the same headphones as the international version
Mine came with the premium headphones from Bang and Olufson or however u spell it lol. They are branded "LG" tho. I've been using them the last 2 days while working and they are AMAZING. I have a complete unboxing of the Sprint V30+ on YouTube, if u wanna check it out here: it shows the headphones and everything: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=UwHrluRZAOs

Sorry, but I see LG QuadBeat 3 and no B&O headphones in your video.
B&O headphones look like these in the LG v30 presentation ( s.attachment): different earpiece shape, different jack (straight and not angled) and different kind of cable.
LG QuadBeat 3 sound everything but amazing.

My bad I completely misunderstood lol. I was thinking he was talking about if they came with headphones period. But after listening to them, I personally like them. I've heard much worse headphones packaged with phones. Samsung can't make a good headphone to save their life.

I feel very dumb. I did not even check to see if this device came with headphones at all. I don't have the V30+. Mine didn't come with any but gee wiz, I've got quite a few pairs of Apple headphones I can't use.

LG made a very big deal about how every LG V30 would come with B&O premium headphones.
With the V30, LG continues its close partnership with B&O PLAY. B&O PLAY refined the audio capabilities in the V30 by fine-tuning the overall sound experience and adding its own exclusive touch. A set of high quality B&O PLAY earphones comes bundled with the V30 for hours of listening pleasure with style.
“For most people, listening to the music they love is a fundamental part of their lives and they expect the same uncompromised experience and quality from their headphones as they do from the mobile device they source music from,” said John Mollanger, CEO of B&O PLAY. “That’s why B&O PLAY is very excited for our long-term partnership with LG and satisfying global music lovers world over.”

Note in the press release they said "V30" -- not just V30+ -- and note the word "global" in the statement. So, they were saying or very strongly implying every V30 all over the world would receive a pair of B&O headphones.
They issued this statement via world wide press release as well as on their general worldwide LG.com website -- not their country specific South Korea website. (lge.co.kr/) Yet, turns out the B&O headphones in "every V30 box" so far were in South Korea, LG's home country.
LG Canada said they couldn't do it because of "licensing" issues. This is why over here in North America at least the phones don't even have B&O logos on the back (like the picture above). B&O already has exclusive licensing for other products in North America. So, over here, no LG V30 is getting B&O earbuds in the box, and only the LG V30+ has headphones. (I guess part of the "plus" experience? More storage and quad DAC earbuds.) The LG V30+ headphones are not B&O branded, they are quad DAC earbuds by LG -- which audiophiles say are not as good as B&O-branded earbuds. Still probably better than Dollar Store earbuds, you know?
But quite different from "every LG V30 across the world gets a pair of B&O earbuds" -- which was the story LG was telling back in August. I was one who believed LG. They should know about licensing issues BEFORE making such an announcement or they should say "in select countries". It's the same thing they did with the LG G6, just not as bad. They leaked "quad DAC", "64GB storage", "Qi wireless charging" -- then regionalized the specs so you could not buy an LG G6 with all those specifications.
I've now bought a pair of premium high impedance earbuds* to use with my LG V30, which will be coming in December sometime (official carrier unlocked US998), but it makes me feel wary towards LG. This is twice this year (LG G6, now LG V30), where they've promised something they didn't deliver.

* I bought the triple driver model which a reviewer said sounded practically as good as the quad driver to him. $80 retail vs $200. And I snagged them for $55 a couple of weeks ago. Now temporarily out of stock.

I am blown away. The 1More Triple driver didn't just perform well over the course of our review, the absolutely decimated most of the competition in the sub $100 price point and remains competitive up to $200. It's a unique sounding earphone for this price point with lots of detail, clarity and a faily balanced yet smooth signature.
The Shure SE215 are one of my go-to recommendations at this price point and that still stands if you want a more bass heavy emphasis but side by side they couldn't be more different. The 1More Triple driver is full of energy and can really push the speed when needed to. They almost make the SE215 seem laggy by comparison.

Oh! I had just assumed the B&O thing was just for S. Korea. It's a shame we didn't get them. I wouldn't have been able to use them either. I can't wear headphones in my ears comfortably. I can barely stand the over the ear ones either.
It's so weird but the only type I like are the ones that go behind the ear.

There are a lot of italien reviews of the V30+ on YouTube and all got the B&O headphones. The B&O headphones are also advertised on the italian product page of the V30+. Everyone except of the US is getting them. Sprint got the LG Quadbeat ear buds instead for the V30+ but the other US carriers didn't care at all.

No release in the german speaking countrys sadly. I'm considering importing it from Italy ...
LG v30+ for official carrier unlocked versions H930 and US998?
LG v30+ for official carrier unlocked versions H930 and US998?
Here's what I don't understand about the availability of the LG V30+ and colors of either the LG V30/LG V30+.
For the carriers -- OK, especially U.S. carriers -- LG is saying that the colors and models (V30, V30+) are chosen by the carriers, thus lack of the Moroccan Blue in the U.S. for instance. And the two SMALLEST carriers in the U.S. (Sprint and U.S. Cellular) got the V30+ while the three largest carriers (Verizon, AT&T, T-mobile) did not. VERY STRANGE.
But LG says that's the CARRIERS' choice, and the carriers say NO, that's what LG is offering them. Especially the colors.
Well, here's where it hits the fan...
LG is the ONLY entity choosing what phones they sell as "open market" phones, a.k.a. official carrier unlocked phones -- the phones eligible for official bootloader unlock.
Where's the V30+?
Where's all the colors?
The official carrier unlocked US998 (not sold by any carriers, NOT the U.S. Cellular version) is ONLY silver so far -- and ONLY V30 (64GB configuration). At least that's all that B&H Photo is showing on their website as of October 29, 2017.
Where's the 128GB LG V30+ US998, and in Moroccan Blue?
Or even the LG V30+ for US998 in Black? We see that U.S. Cellular is selling their US998 (not eligible for bootloader unlock) in LG V30+ in both Silver and Black, so we know the BLACK LG V30+ US998 EXISTS. Why won't LG sell it to us?
(Since I want bootloader unlock and root, I will only be buying the official carrier unlocked versions, not the U.S. Cellular carrier version which regrettably shares the same model number.)
Actually, for BOTH the official carrier unlocked versions H930 and US998? Where's the V30+ and all the color choices?
Europe H930 is getting Moroccan Blue in regular LG V30 (64GB) configuration -- but North American US998 is not even getting that. But where's the LG V30+ for the H930 carrier unlocked version?
It's almost like LG doesn't want our money!

Thanks for the info. Hm guess I will import from Italy too. Hopefully it will be in Amazon sooner than later. Would prefer that cause of the good conditions.

I don't get it what lg is doing with there releases. It could have been so easy. The phone was announced 2 month ago and nobody knows exactly what is coming in which configuration.
They could have just released the same variants worldwide. With carriers choosing to lock the bootloader.
They are just about to fail another phone launch. Most people will buy another phone that's actually available because the v30 is not or they have no idea when it will launch.
I hate that. I wanted that phone so badly but I already have the Huawei mate 10 preorder in my amazon basket.
If it's not going to be released before the mate 10 it will be that phone.

Hello I have a question when ordering a lg phone from ebay in the usa, it will work in eu and more specifically in germany? will they be charged with any additional costs such as customs or tax? Thank you for your response
j If you want to buy and use LG V60 from the USA or Korea in Europe, unfortunately it will not work, only the model will work LM-V600EA others do not support European frequencies I wonder if they are blocked by software or are physically removed ?
