How good are the B&O earbuds? - LG V20 Accessories

So like most of you, I took advantage of the free earbud promo. It's awesome that they're free, but I was wondering just how good they were? I currently have a pair of Klipsch X4i's that were also $150 back when I got them a bit under a year ago. I just didn't know if the B&O's were really an upgrade at all.

For a true audiophile user, they will just ignore these iem, it doesn't complete with your klipsch, for a normal user they are considered good, enough to bring out decent qualtity sound from the phone.

They're deemed good. But it seems a lot of peeps overlook the fact they're rated for 20hz to 16khz. No iem is going to come close to 20hz proper and 16khz? That's 4khz you're missing on the top end. Real instruments I would imagine sound weird with that much roll-off. When I saw the dynamic range was missing 4khz I immediately changed my mind to sell them. Other than that, they have been well received by users. Only other problem is there are many versions of this iem. Some tend to fall apart quicker than others. Some reviews I've read it was definitely abuse. From using these to workout with and people complaining jacket or sleeve fell off pulling several inches from jack instead of the jack itself. If you can get $100 for these I am quite sure you can use that money and find a better ear/headphone. Or pony up another $50 and options really open up.

has anyone got any confirmation of the BO earbuds being processed or shipped out yet????? The Samsung turnaround on their previous promo was literally 5-10 days....

B&O earbuds
I travel quite a lot, and have the noise-cancelling B&O H3 ANC's already - they're better than Bose in terms of sound quality, but not quite as good active noise cancelling. Definitely great for on a plane. When I really care about audio quality, I have better can options (though they don't do as well with noise cancelling).
With the DAC listening to FLAC music, there's a definite improvement in sound. That said, the H3 are middle of the road buds. I have a headphone amplifier that I use for cans; it made no difference to the H3 ANC. Still, compared to the free headphones you normally get with a cell phone, these are light years better.

I just got the above email myself.

I received them...was #441 in the signup.
They are decent. I don't believe their impedance is too high to demand a high drive but they trigger the quad DAC mode. Nice to have them definitely. Not sure why they would be worth $150...

I've been using the headphones that came with my Note 7 on the V20. Sound was I thought decent, just got my H3 headphones yesterday and OMFG the difference is quite amazing
I'm not an audiophile so these are perfect for me. Definitely has opened my eyes(well ears really) to just how Crappy some headphones are made.
---------- Post added at 07:29 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:23 AM ----------
I am having issues though, I will plug them in and get high impedance mode, unplug and do it again and get normal audio device, then again and get an external audio device is connected, wtf
Also when in high impedance mode, it says sound adjusted for devices 50ohm to 500ohm and the rating on the H3 is only 18ohm though I thought

What promotion are u guys talkin about?

Mine came in today and are complete garbage. I hear a bunch of static if the plug is touched or moved slightly. In one phone it only works out of one ear unless I insert it just right and as soon as the plug is moved back to one ear.
**edit. It turns out they come with some sort of oil/film on the plug that has to be cleaned off with rubbing alcohol . I didn't have rubbing alcohol so I just used my shirt and the static is almost gone.

The connector plug is ****ing garbage. It sits in there very loosely. Wtf!?
None of my other headphones have loose plugs.
Edit: my apologies, I wasn't inserting them all the way lol!

JBuds J3M Micro Atomic

Just thought I'd share. Ordered some JBuds J3M Micro Atomic from the JBuds site. All sites have these listed pretty high, but JBuds is selling them for 19.95. Used coupon code "minimag" (without quotes) for 20% off.
Not a bad deal. I'm hoping majority of the music features work for the MT4G.
Still can't post links but it's at jlabaudio dot com. 19.52 shipped.
Amazon has these for 69.95
Just ordered a pair
thanks for the code
How do these sound? (And how well does the mic work?) The stock ones stink, and my iPod ones also kind of stink (and they don't have a mic) Thanks!

What music/call functions can be controlled by these headphones (e.g., next song, answer, hang up, etc.)?
The mic works well. Single click to answer/end call.
Using playerpro it does recognize single click to pause/play, double click to forward to next song, 3 quick clicks to rewind to the beginning of the song and 4 clicks to go to the previous song.
4 clicks seems to be a hit or miss. Sometimes it goes to the previous song and starts playing and sometimes it pauses on the previous song.
As far as quality, these are wonderful.

on topic I just ordered a pair. have some sony earbuds but the mic doesn't work and it only handles play/pause. Looking forward to having a more functional headset, if the quality it close to the sony's (which wouldn't be hard), i'll be pleased.
just bought a set too the mt4g ones i have are terrible and the koss ones i have dont have a mic built in so this will be nice to have so i dont have to unplug when people call me hahah.

Yep I left the earphone on with the burn in tool the whole night lol and the 2nd smallest cushion fits great and it stays better if you hook the cable over your ear as mentioned in the instruction.
Just got them today. Took a week. Phone controls are fantastic, make these worth their time even if they aren't amazing in sound quality. Long press to genius make them exactly what I wanted, music and voice control. Right now they sound a little tinny, have to play with EQ settings to get a good response. Gonna run the burn-in tonight and see if they improve. For 25 bucks they are a fantastic deal, even if they don't get better.
Did the burn-in for about 5 hours yesterday. After I put on a wide range of music and used Poweramps EQ to create a general eq setting. Had to drop the preamp really low and give the lows and highs a significant boost, but now I'm very happy. High's are clean and sharp, mids are steady, and lows are decent. If you are willing to spend some time with an EQ, these can be both a hands free solution and a solid set of headphones.
They aren't working as a headset for me on CM7, but they sound great. Headset works great on my wife's stock mt4g.

3.5mm Headphone Jack

Bought this and it's been working great. http://www.monoprice.com/products/p...=10218&cs_id=1021802&p_id=5577&seq=1&format=2
Fit's snuggly in the jack, even with my Otterbox case on.
I also have iBeats by Dr Dre and it fits quite well into my DInc 2.
My brother and I have similar problems with the audio jack. My headphones will fit in but if the cable wiggles I loose connection. The audio stops and I have to unplug and replug the them back in. It makes it so I can't have the phone in my pocket when listening to headphones. I have called Verizon and they said they were not aware of any known issues like this. They sent me a new phone to see if that resolved the problem. I am hoping we got some out of a bad batch...
This issue combined with the lack of root makes me want to sell the phone and get a X2.
No issues with mine either, I have been using it in the gym for the past two weeks and plug into the tape deck adapter in the work truck with no problems
So I called Verizon the other day to explain my problem with the headphones disconnecting after the cord wiggles a little. Their answer was to send me a replacement phone. I agreed and the next day the replacement arrived at my doorstep. Tested the headphone jack on the replacement device and got the same results. After calling Verizon back I waited on hold for an hour while they attempted to duplicate the problem on their end. Their solution was to use headphones without a "L" shapped bend in the connector. They offered to buy me a new pair of headphones so I agreed. I placed my order Amazon today and the Verizon tier 2 level tech will be calling me back Monday to take the charge off my bill. Figured this information may be handy to someone. Good luck!
I understand this is not a fix for a design flaw in the phone but its still a free pair of headphones.
I had the same problem with the lead in my car. I realized the jack was longer than the one on my headphones so I filed the tip off of it w/ a metal file. It seems to work better now.

Headphones

Im looking for headphones that have music seek controls (forward and back), pause, and a mic. They have to be compatible with the Atrix, as my nexus headphones are not.
Sent from my GingerBlur'd, de-odex'd, modded Motorola Atrix 4G (ish.)
Sony Ericsson MW600. Bluetooth headphones that work pretty well with the Atrix.
you need to make sure you have compatible software (music player) - there are only 4 wires (connections) - left and right audio, mic, and ground - putting more buttons doesn't change this fact.
Something has to interpret what connections you are making and breaking and turn that into actions.

I use these for both travel, and to drown out noise at work while I am constipating deeply:
Motorola S9-HD
So far I have had 5 hours battery life on a full charge, despite reading previously that a full charge was 2-1/2 - 3 hours. Now I have had time to really use them I have found it to be good. Also, the mic, although in one of the earpieces has had good feedback as far as people hearing me on calls. Atrix battery barely drains while using these over bluetooth.

I have the original S9 headphones, this 'sport headset' stopped working because of moisture while using at the gym. I just put them in a box, but discovered that this is a major and longstanding issue that Motorola refuses to address. Sound familiar?
S#
I hear the S10 headphone are horrendous. The reviews on amazon are bad.
I have a S9-HD (came from moto warranty), and they are pretty good with Atrix. My previous phone seemed to hate them. Coudln't get a foot away without it cracking out. Seems to work okay with Atrix.
Just make sure you buy them from moto or amazon... there are a lot of fakes.
Other ones I like are the HT820's from moto, but I don't htink they sell them anymore. They are kind of big (and hurt your ears until you get used to them), but they have amazing range and like 15 hours of battery.

I have some S10s. Had a set of S9s before that. Sound reproduction on both isn't the best but as functional devices they are excellent. For good quality a headphone rather than an earphone is the way to go.
Only real downside is that the earbuds tend to ping off in your bag.
Haven't had any issues with moisture either. Even dropped my S9s in the sink once and they were fine afterwards.

Headphones for Pixel 2 XL (Type C and Bluetooth)

Hey fellows,
using a Galaxy s7 edge since 1.5 years with a 3.5mm Headphonejack, I have to rethink, how to hear music on my Pixel 2 XL.
Tbh i dont like to use 3.5mm headphons with the adapter because of comfort and sound quality.
Thats why I would like to have a nice wired (Type C) or / and good bluetooth in-ear headphones.
Im looking for cheap but good sounding earphones. Any hints?
Actually i guess im going to get Meizu EP51 as bluetooth earphones for running and gym. And now im searching for great wired type c phones.
Let me know, which one you'll get.

for Bluetooth go with a good aptx or aptx-hd headphones/earphones

Bluetooth 5 has a range 120 to 140 feet, as apposed to 33 feet with most 4.1 bluetooth devices. But you will need a bluetooth device that matches the bluetooth accessory to get the distance. There are also other enhancements such as multiple devices can be used at the same time. I read an articel on this a few weeks ago. I hope my memory has given you some big enhancements with bluetooth 5.

Bose sound sport wireless for the win. They are awesome sound quality. 150 bucks. In my opinion the new truly wireless 250 dollar ones aren't worth it.
I bought these when I was waiting on my Essential to come, and they actually worked really well. Wasn't sure about the whole noise cancelling thing, but since they don't need to be charged separately (the phone powers the noise cancelling), I figured I would give them a shot. Really liked them, but ended up returning the Essential in favor of the 2 XL, so now I'm just hoping they're compatible, but I'm hoping that won't be an issue...they're not the most comfortable, since they have the large rubber things so they stay in place for active folks (I'm not one of them), but I got used to them. And the noise cancelling and ambient noise feature are actually pretty useful. But they've been sitting dormant since I returned the Essential and came back to good old Shamu (If only I could find a reverse 3.5mm -> USB-C adapter hahah). The fact that I got them for like $80 (down from $200 which is just ridiculous) made it a pretty good deal in my mind. The 17th can't come soon enough!
PS I wanted earbuds and didn't want wireless, or anything that needed to be charged, but the options seem to be extremely limited at this point

I'm also extremely interested in the https://en-us.sennheiser.com/headphones-bluetooth-hd1-free - Sennheiser HD1 Free. The HD1 non free has great reviews.
I ordered these https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06Y686X78/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_ep_dp_Qa53zbXQQ9TVS - TaoTronics Bluetooth Headphones Model Ft-bh16 for a temporary pair and backup.

Yep, I love mine. They sound REALLY good for just being little earbuds. I've had very nice over-ear headphones, currently have a pair of AiAiAi's, and the fit beats are pretty good! Jump rope is the only thing I've found that makes them budge. Floor workouts, everything else they don't move.

Another agreed, they are excellent for my HIIT cardio workouts and reasonable price!
I love my PowerBeats 2. I previously tested a bunch of different Bluetooth headphones for the gym and these are the only ones that stay in my ears consistently and have excellent sound. Battery life is around 8 hours and the Bluetooth connection distance is quite good. I can put my phone on a ledge and work my way through a ~100ft area for the weights and never lose signal.
If I decide to go with the Pixel 2 XL (still debating) I'll be getting the PowerBeats 3 for the gym and leave my PowerBeats 2 at my office desk. One area of contention with the loss of the headphone jack is that I work from home full time and have various clients calling me multiple times a day. So I usually have a set of wired headphones sitting on my desk that I can quickly plug in before answering the phone. With the 2 XL I won't have that option so I'll resort to the PowerBeats 2 to always be ready to quickly turn on and pair.
For those wondering, the PowerBeats 3 are essentially the same as the previous generation but with an even greater Bluetooth signal range and longer battery life.
I have been using the Samsung Gear Circle for years. They sounds great, stay in my ear while at the gym and the battery seems to last forever.

I have the Plantronics Backbeat Fit, and I love them. They sound really good (not premium, high-end I don't think), they don't move around when I'm working out, and they are super comfortable. They have a new gen out too. I think I paid $65-70 for them open box?
I checked out reviews for all of the major headphone brands, also tried out a couple cheaper ones. Most did not fair well in reviews except this set, and the others I tried were not good.
Anyway, check out the link below.

These headphones have lasted through 2 washes for me. They sound great if you squeeze them into your ear canal, but I can't think of a way to keepnthem in like that. Otherwise they are great because they hang on and don't fall out.

Sony 1000xm2 just got delivered today!

TESTED USB-C headset for 10$ that works

So, i saw lots of discussions around for a usb-c headphones that actually works with pixel 2 (mine is pixel 2xl)..
I ordered long time ago this usb-c headset from AliExpress, and forgot about it, then i received it today.. And it wooooorks.. Its actually really good (not saying high end headset good) but high volume, definitely noticeable bass, and very cheap (about 10$)..
So the secret was when i was searching for something that works with pixel 2 is to have CDLA (maybe a dax feature or a driver in it)..
Below you can see its picture and a link.. but also you can just search for usb c with CDLA on AliExpress..
The link:
Original Letv CDLA Earphone Letv 2Pro HiFi Chip Inbedded Continual Digital Lossless Audio Type-C for Xiaomi 6 Gold Galved Mic
http://s.aliexpress.com/z2aAjyMf
(from AliExpress Android)
What i don't like (but can live with it since its that cheap) is that its not in ear, its more like the shape of apple's one's.. And the mic is on the wire of the left ear (strange given that am used to the mic being on the right ear wire)
Honestly, the main reason for me to use it is that am on the phone a lot, and i want a quick plug and play mono headset, so am going to cut off one of the ears speakers (mono conversion).. And with it being that cheap, i don't mind the cutting (at least not a 50$ plus for an earset that i will end up cutting)
BAHAHA Looks like they took their iPhone headphones and put a USB C on instead of a Lightning. But having used the apple ones I might be interested in a pair since I kinda like em.

Louder than any normal 3.5 with an adapter, clear enough (but not high end clear), with a very noticeable bass (which i like, but again not high end bass)..

The Verge certainly likes to bash the Pixel 2!!

Instead of a dongle it should be an adapter that is cordless. Just the input and output on each side. Probably lose it even faster haha

These are the same headphones that come with the LeEco S3, Pro, etc. I have them and they are very impressive. They truly sound better than earbuds in the $100 range.

Hahahaha.. But mmmmm should google pay me then ?
Back at low price, I'm going to buy it!
Music worked but microphone didn't. Anyone else have a similar experience?
Yeah..mic don't work properly during a phonecall. The other party I called said that there was a loud annoying buzzing electrical noise when I use this headphone. I bought 2 pieces and both had the same issue. Disappointed
This will change my idea... Damn
wanted to buy this until i saw the price.........
Yaaaa noticed that too.. Sometimes the mic doesn't work.. Agree with most here..
Other suggestion for type c earphones working with mic?
Can't get these to work on my phone. Is there an option I haven't enabled, or is Flash Kernel interfering in someway maybe?
Can confirm they work on my computer so its not the headphones themselves
EDIT: so interestingly I flipped around the usb cord and it works haha. Weird how it works one way and not the other.
Mine arrived yesterday and the microphone works perfectly.
