I don't think the supplied akg earphone sounds good for the music. I used another $20 (symphonized brand) earphones and they sound really nice (extra bass) the akg that came with the phone is not as good.
Any thoughts guys?

They're not great, I use Xiaomi earbuds that are significantly better. They are, however, much better than the apple pack-in earbuds.
"Extra base" is probably not very accurate sound. If you prefer it that way, that's fine, but the AKG headphones are tuned for more balanced sound. They're not great headphones, but they are decent if you want to hear music as it was recorded, rather than with artificial base.

They sounded good until I switched to Sennheiser's.
My thoughts too. I actually think they sound bad. I think the buds that came with my S7 edge sound better.

I think I just prefer some bass but akg one doesn't have. I thought the headphones that came with the phone was supposed to sound better. For me it doesn't

Better is subjective. Accurate isn't.
I gave them to my son as soon as I open the box. In his opinion, they better than what comes with the iPhone. Not amazing, bit will do.
Initially I was too disappointed. Then my Sony earbuds died so I've played around and now I'm more than happy with the sound.
1) https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s9/how-to/howto-tune-headphine-sound-t3764747
2) Change the silicon pads.
Bass was still flat. I've noticed that in certain position in the ear bass was way better. Tried different silicon pads supplied. None worked properly. Then I've tried the one from my dead Sony. Boom.
I guess there's difference in Japanese and Korean ear holes
It looks a bit retarded thou - white silicon pads on black earbuds. But I think Sony sells them even in black.

I just bought a set of X10's from Amazon to compare to my Ultimate Ears TripleFi & my Etymotic E4p's
I use a Fiio E11 headphone AMP & the X10's should sound awesome from that I would think (all my other headphones kick a** from this setup)
The X10's I received are defective, one side works fine, but the other side crackles & rattles like the driver is shot.
What I'm wondering is if it's worth getting another set, or is the quality not all it's cracked up to be with these things???

I personally never liked the klipsch headphones a whole lot as the highs kill my ears. But that is personally preference. I have never liked overly bright speakers.

I know exactly what you're saying, I have a set of Klipsch S4's & they are way too bright, but I figured the X10's might be more accurate than the cheapy S4's.
Do all Klipsch earbuds emphasize the highs like that??
I love my s4s. Lol. You don't like good quality? Their highs are great. Maybe you listen to bad music.get a higher bit rate like 320 kbps

If I didn't like "good quality" I wouldn't be using what are generally regarded as the two best earbud sets ever made & a headphone AMP. If you read any of the opinions on Hi-Fi.org you would see the TripleFi's are always rated as one of the best earbuds ever made (they originally sold for $399 although I don't know anybody that actually paid that).
All my rips are 320 (or .wav files), I owned a high end stereo shop for 10 years & I definitely appreciate good quality. The Klipsch S4's are way too bright, but this is not always a bad thing. Personally, I am not looking for a super accurate sound as I also like bright highs & too much bass up to a point.
Seems like people are really recommending earbuds. Are there recommendations for full sized headphones under $50? I have Sony EX51 earbuds that are ok, but am looking for something that's a bit louder and produces a fuller sound. Seems like actual over the earphones would be best for that. Thoughts?
Any of the Sennheiser HD's will be good. I really like my HD-202 headphones. They are under $25 on Amazon. Also, the AKG K81 DJ headphones are awesome! They are $36 right now on Amazon (I paid $80). I think I like them a little better than the Sennheiser. With headphones you will get a little more bass than with earbuds. I personally like earbuds best since they are more portable, but I paid a little over $400 for the Shure Se-530s, and $250 for my Ultimate Ears 5 pros.
Also, from my experience, Bose, Beats and Skullcandy do not sound good. The Bose had good bass, and some highs, but missed the mids. I didn't like the sound from the Beats or Skullcandy at all.
There's a lot of good quality earbuds that will give you loud full sound. Klipsch S4s are good, and you can find some decent sennheiser and audio technica earbuds for under $50. Same for headphones.
As for headphones vs earbuds, I think it just depends on what you find more comfortable and portability.

I've always been an earbud guy because of the isolation so i can play at a lower volume. After i experienced my first pair of comply foam buds that came with my UE SuperFi Vi's i never went back to headphones when i'm outside, its just way too convenient. The only thing that bugs me is that if i'm having lunch and i try to listent to music, the movement of my jaw tends to make any earbud pop out no matter what, so I suppose headphones would get the thumbs up in that situation.
I use the aforementioned UE's normally, they sound pretty nice though they are not as heavy on the bass as the throwaway offerings from skullcandy that i have. I agree with caspertodd on his experience with beats and skullcandy, those earbuds are tuned to be bass heavy, and i personally perfer a neutral sound where i can EQ as i see fit.
I just picked up a set of ultimate ears metrofi200v on amazon for less then 40$ shipped. best in ear monitors I have ever heard for under 100$ . they have balanced mids,a little to much mid bass,good low bass and sweet highs. They sound awesome on the evo 4g lte. I will never buy monster,beats or Sony's again. They sound thick and airy opposed to my other headphones that sound muddy and tinny,these are perfect

Ultimate ears metrofi 200v > Sony mdr ex56 . They sound a lot better then I thought it would
I say go for Shure SE215. With the foam earbuds they isolate so much sound you don't need a lot of volume to hear your music.

it used to be that IEM's offered better sound for your dollar, but that gap has been thinning for the past couple of years.
granted they'll look goofy as hell on you, I much recommend the Monoprice 8323 if you're looking at budget full-size. They are literally kicker rebrands, and sound is in league with the ATH-M50's (which typically sell for ~$130).

I have these as well, and if you're on a budget, you can't really beat these. This is the first set of headphones I've ever bought. I've always used a $300 set of Shure earbuds before for my "good" set, and monoprice earbuds for my running around/working out set.
The Shure's sound isolation was just too good and I wasn't hearing my family calling for me when I needed to, so I decided to try out these Sennheiser's. They block ambient noise just enough without totally making me oblivious to the world
Having decided to keep my N3 even tho I'm not bowled over by the audio, I'd like to reach out and ask which earphones you guys use, and rate highly? I'm in the UK
Thanks.
What's your budget and what do you look for in a pair of them? Quality over sound or vice versa. What type of music genres? Etc... do you want more bass or more average or more vocals to pop out?
Sent from my SM-N900T using xda app-developers app
try something from Denon or Audio Technica!
I use the stock buds at work as they allow me to listen in on conversations of colleagues (meaning I can hear them when they try talking to me). If I want good sound away from home, I use a shure 215 se. There are pricier options, but for 100€ it's really great sound. At home I use a sennheiser MD 598 if I really want to have it like the musicians inteted their songs. But the sennheisers are open back and so sound gets out and my family is annoyed by that if they wantto watch TV. So I bought the Yamaha Pr 500. they are closed backs and almost don't leak sound, even if I use my Fiio alpen to crank it up. The Yamaha is a little tinted to the lower frequency side, but it sounds awesome to hear all the bass lines. And with EQ you van tweak the sound to your liking. But what I found is, that any over the ear headphones with big drivers really gives a much better sound stage. When using my big cans I almost always get back to live tracks over studio recordings, because it sounds as if you were standing in front of the stage. I recently had to thin out my music collection on SD card to make space for higher quality recordings. Now the minimum I use is 160 kbps and I have tracks up to 320. and the difference is amazing.
Sorry for this rather long post, but I hope you can get something out of it.

Agree. Headfi.org is great if you research audio stuff.
Another vote for head fi. Watch your wallet though. The headphone out on the Note 3 is very good. A high quality headphone is worth it. Personally I use a Vmoda m100 most of the time. It's a fantastic headphone if you like your bass. I also have a pair of Audiotechnica A900s which still sound amazing after 5 years since I purchased it. For ultimate portability I use Sennheiser IE8s which still blow me away with their bass and soundstage.
Good luck with your search. There are lots of good choices.

Firstly thanks for the replies everyone. I wasn't receiving post updates.
I listen to Led Zeppelin a lot. Rock music. Like to hear the bass too and mid range .
I think I'm more inclined to use in ear buds, so shall look through the thread and check recommended types.

Yes, definitely. These come with different size buds and stabilizers depending on your ear size. I don't even know I'm wearing these when working out for long periods of time. They have another version with volume controls and mic for $30 more.
Returned for a refund the Plantronics BackBeat Go 2 bluetooth headset because the buds were uncomfortable and popped out during movement.

You can use over the ear headphones with the N3 but I wouldn't recommend it. I tried my Sennheiser HD650s plugged into the N3 and they sounded okay but not great, problem is the N3 doesn't really have enough power to drive them. Through a headphone amp or external DAC they should be fine, I tried the N3->HLLY SMK-III DAC->Sennheiser HD650 and that sounded awesome.
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

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?

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 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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.
http://www.digitalsave.co.uk/offici...-kardon.html?gclid=CPm31oHFtdMCFWwo0wod6jsBIw
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 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.

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.
Do all the US variants S8's come with the AKG's in box?

They sound pretty good. But far behind my Bose QC30
