Has Samsung improved there stock earphones ? - Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Till dated Samsung note 123 all of them had poor quality earphones can we expect some good quality stock earphones out of the box.
What do you think ?

People actually use the stock earphones!?
Mine have always been kept in the box, I have a semi-decent pair of earphones that I use daily. To be honest though, I doubt any phone ships with earphones that are actually worth using over even a fairly cheap pair of third party set.
So I wouldn't advise you rely on the Note 4 shipping with anything impressive!

We've companies like Iphone Apple earphones are decent,Nokia Inear ear plugs stock (lumia610) are excellent.
I also have my note 2 earphones still inside my box unused and I currently own a Nokia Coloud I am happy with them.

Isnt it up to each carrier? I know T-mobile is cheap and never include any headphone.

Consider it a bonus if they do. Highly unlikely that you will get a set of earbuds worth talking about. I personally don't care for them since I have my own Bluetooth earbuds.

I both have note 2 and note 3 headphones also s4 and s5 headphones and i love them. For me note 2 and s5 headphones are the greatest. Note 2 headphones has great bass and treble balance. ( Actually it has the best bass over all sammy headphones ). Using them with 63 db kernel headphone boost and viper4android for clarity.It has poor cable quality though. This is my third in two years. S5 headphones are great too with 60 db of course. Music gets too loud on 63 db. Note 3 headphones are also great with 60db boost. In all of them s4 has the crappiest ones. Although it 'doesnt suck' at 57db i wouldn't prefer them.

You buy a $700 phone.... why would you not invest in some good earphones if you even like them?
Many providers don't include headphones anymore.

Had a pair of Icemat Siberia's for a while now. Probably the most comfortable plugs I've ever owned. Others have always hurt after a short time. Sound good too. I'm sure there might be some out there that might sound better, but the comfort pushes these over the top.
bundled headphones always suck anyway so its no big loss that there are no included phones, if i decide that i can bear to give up my hardware qwerty keyboard and get a nexus ill be using a set of audio technica ath-cks55's

Even Bieber would sound good through these things (probably).

HTC one vs note 2 speakers

Does anybody have any first hand experience with both these phones to make a comparison?
I'm just trying to get a idea of how much better the loud speakers are compared to my note 2.
Sent from my SGH-T889 using Tapatalk 2
I think if you go to youtube, there are a fair number of videos.. I think I saw a comparison with the note 2. The One may not be too much louder, but the sound is much more clear and you don't have static.
Yeah. I had found one that used the ipad as a dbm reader. But I thought it was a pretty crappy test.
I was hoping for some better input.

I saw that too, that was a dumb test. There's another one where they use a professional mic

Hi, I sold my Note 2 for a HTC One. I always thought the speaker on the Note was very impressive.
BUT the HTC is WOW. Much louder and the sound quality is superb. Sounds to have a little bit of base too.
This is how all phones should be built.

No I needed a change from Samsung. I do miss the large screen and all the Smart features. I've managed to find some apps that sort that issue out though
So far I am happy with the battery life. It did a full day yesterday. I`m still unlocking the screen every 5 minutes though just to look at it
If the battery life becomes an issue I`ll install Juice Defender.
Yesterday I had 81% left by 1pm and I had it off charge at 7am.
Hope that helps.
I came from the Samsung Note II as well. With the Note II rooted and on custom rom. I say the performance of sound on the Note II was louder and probably slightly better than the HTC One. I was on Perseus kernel with Noozide on the Note II. I felt the bass pumping on the Note II, whereas the One did not. Also I feel the HTC one just isn't loud with the two speakers.
I haven't found any tweaks to get the volume louder on the HTC one yet... Hopefully someone can pull off a hack to get higher db.

did that kernel add to the speakers? When I had my note 2 the speakers were horribly tinny and quiet. Not as bad as the nexus 4's though.

I respectfully disagree. The Note 2 rear speaker is damn loud, and I think from a decibel standpoint its about the same, quality though, the HTC wins out. My wife has a Note 2, I have a One and an S4 and I can honestly as after all the rave reviews of the HTC's "loud speaker" I was disappointed. It sounds wonderful yes, but its not "turn it down halfway because its so loud" like some of the professional reviewers say.
Im sure mine was loud when i first got it. Seems to me the new firmware reduced the volume.

I had a Note 2 on Sprint and then On AT&T. I left my Note 2 to get the One and I'm thoroughly impressed. Honestly, even though my Note's were rooted with custom kernels, they just weren't as sharp in the sound department. They were loud, but had a very tinny sound at high volume. The front facing speakers on the One really do the commercials justice. They are far clearer, and sound better than ANY other phone I've had.

Coming from a Note 2 and working with co-workers with a Note 2 I find this very hard to believe. I also tried this kernel and almost didn't hear any difference...before the note speaker sounded very tinny and afterwards it sounded a little less tinny. According to Samsung the speaker was not broken and within production tolerance. The lousy (quality and volume) speaker was one of the reasons to switch to a One and I didn't regret it one minute..
had the note 2 previously. The note 2 does sound loud when its turned over on its face but mine was rarely on its face, still sounded pretty loud though.
The One sounds very loud and because the speakers are on the face its loud all the time, The quality is also far far far better than the note. It wont replace a portable speaker though, understandably there isn't much bass(more than the note though).

question about Beats By Dr. Dre - Beats Studio

will the Beats By Dr. Dre - Beats Studio work with the gs4?and if so do they sound good?just asking before i spend 300.00 dollars,thanks
Thats a roger on the compatibility.
Beats by dre uses the standard 3.5 mm jack for audio input.
As for the sound...my untrained ears can't hear a difference. They're solid in performance and quality certainly. People swear by them at my university though.
At the $300 price point there are certainly better options on the market. Just because it's popular doesn't mean it's great (case in point iPhone ). That being said it should work fine with your S4 if you decide to get them
Sent from my AT&T Galaxy S4 Running AOKP 4.2.2
Before you spend $300 do yourself a favor and do some research on head-fi.org.
At least then you will be making an informed decision. Many less expensive options out there with as good or better sound, problem is most people won't know it because all they see is the "beats" logo and assume you bought the best.
Do you want great sounding headphones, or do you want people to THINK you bought good sounding headphones because of a name?
Beats and Bose two of the biggest rip-offs in music. The only one worse is Monster Cable.

Actually, Beats by Dre were manufactured by Monster up until 2012, so there ya go.
I'm really looking into the Logitech UE 6000's. Everything I read has been good so far. I currently have some Shure SE 215 in-ear monitors and looking to make the jump to a full size headset. The UE 6000's at only $180 are also a great value. If you have the extra money and want some Bluetooth love then look no further then the UE 9000's ($400) from what I've read. Logitech may not be known for their high quality audio but down that lead you astray.

I use beats studios with my s4 and note 10.1 and the sound is pretty awesome. Not tooo overpowering if you don't want them to be but if you crank it up and pair is with a good equalizer like viper it sounds incredible. Granted I got the beats scratchlesa and like-new secondhand at a fraction of the price so it may sound just a bit better than a $300 pair would but I would recommend going to an electronics store with your s4 and testing out the floor models to see which suits your taste the best. :thumbup:

Do a little research on Audiotechnica ATH-M50 headphones before buying overpriced Beats headphones.
They are better headphones (especially for bass-heavy music and sounds like video games, movies, etc) and cost 30-50% as much as Beats.
Yes they will work
Sound quality...LOL, beats sound like crap for their price. Those who think they sound good have never listened to a quality pair of headphones. They are for looks...and only looks, just like iPhones. There is a reason why beats are never in top ten headphone lists...at least in any top ten list from a respected audio site...
Like said earlier, AudioTechnica M50 are much much better...and cost much much less...and in my opinion still look good, and are pretty damn comfortable. I got mine for $120 (I think they are like $200 regular) on amazon...couldn't be happier...definitely sounds better than any pair of beats I've tried on.
Like others have said...do some more research, you don't want to be that guy walking down the street with a pair of beats thinking he's cool with "good" headphones while all the nearby audiophiles are laughing at your stupidity for wasting money on beats...
-just my opinion...as I do consider my self an audiophile
Look...beats are not in any of these!!! My ATHM50 are in quite a few tho... http://www.google.com/search?site=&...1c.1.16.mobile-gws-hp.QZ0mv46DVJE&safe=active

Like everybody else said, the only thing you get with Beats is an overblown name. They don't suck buy they are just way overpriced for the sub par quality. Get something like klipsch or koss. Much better choices and they won't cost you an arm and a leg. Also I have used to pretty decent cheapo skull candies before. I wouldn't recommend spending over a 100 bucks on cans unless they were custom in-ear monitors abd those cost about a grand hahaha! Also head fi is a good website like everyone else has been saying

This probably isn't the place to ask, but I will anyway haha
I bought the Logitech UE 6000 a few days ago and do like them quite a bit, but also liked the Bose qc 15 when I tried them in store. Unfortunately I wasn't able to try the two side by side and only got to try the qc-15 for a few minutes.
Can anyone give a fair review on their impressions of the qc15 in regards to sound, noise cancelling and leakage. If you have any use with the UE 6000 to compare that would be great too
I can get the qc15 brand new for 240-250 w/ tax. Paid 173+$30 warranty + tax for UE 6000 (About $220)

Sorry, you are right. I didn't read everyones posts. Just the fact that there is adults that are asking about beats kills me. I work for best buy and it drives me nuts to hear people thinking they are quality. Now I just have to get the same conversion rate as I have from iphones to android to go into beats to anything better haha
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using Tapatalk 2
beats are mostly supposed to be used with other BEATS devices; its just an EQ setting. their quality, sound, ergonomics, and value (to real DJ's and audio techs, whom i work with) is laughable at best. sound isolation isnt much different than other OTE units; most of that depends on how loud your music is lol.
Sennheiser HD 25-II for audiophiles for less, or Pioneer HDJ-2000 if you want bass and better quality/ergonomics.
i have both the Sennheiser HD 25-II and HDJ-2000; my GF has some red BEATS pro studios; for her its style; they stand out and match her car/lipstick etc. versus the HD 25 II's by Sennheiser and HDJ2000's, there is no competition. They are designed nicely, but not being able to comfortably use one ear without them sliding, and the fact they are CLEARLY worse aurally, i wont touch them. Other than bass, some $30 Panasonic HTX-7's actually have better fidelity.

Beats by Dre is optimized for Apple products.
Like when I use my PowerBeats2 with my previous 6s it shows how much battery the headphones has but on android it doesn't.
But no problems so far with the s7e when it comes to sound being too low.
Have you tried using your headphones with another android device?

Hey Man I was having the same issue and come to find out the resolution is so easy that we overlook it. You have to cut the volume up physically on your phone then use the volume toggle on the headphones itself and turn that up and that will fix the issue. I also reset my bluetooth headset before doing so. My issue was with the Powerbeats2.

Yes we were over looking! Thanks!!! I have the Powerbeats3.
Hmmm. I find that Bluetooth is WAY too quite on two different car stereos using my s7 edge. No problems with my old Asus zenfone2 or my company iphone. The built in equalizer for the Samsung seems to be quite basic. It doesn't let you create separate profiles for speaker, headphones or Bluetooth like most other phones do. Is there anything out there to help this without running a custom Rom?
not really, at least you need root

Galaxy Buds: issues!!?

The Galaxy Buds fortunately came for free with my S10+, otherwise I will regret buying them, are crap, when doing a Whatsapp call one of them stop working and I need to put them in box, close it, and connect again. A pair of buds that costs more than US$100 that has this terrible behavior, terrible.
Sambug is going from worse to much worse, they are selling buggy stuff... (the s10+ deep battery not working well... and so on)
UPDATE 2 (4-APR-2019): The ASCA firmware update seems or made a positive change, now I have much less skipping and interruptions, I will continue trading this Buds but the connection really improved with the latest S10+ firmware

I've had this happen only once, other than that the headphones have been working very well and I use them daily. Got the headphones on March 6th along with my phone so I've used them for a while. I've had no problems with phone calls, video playback or music with these.

Had mine since launch never had this issue. I've done all the updates so maybe that's why.

I have all the updates
I can't figure out why my Buds are loud when played on my Note 8 and S8+, but I can barely hear them on my S10+. I have the volume rocker all the way to the right.

It's probably because the bluetooth settings for the buds are configured lower on the S10. It's a weird problem, but if you want, try looking either at the bluetooth settings or the gear settings for volume control. Otherwise, turn on Dolby Atmos sound; it boosts sound levels.
I'm very picky and I love mine. Best BT wireless yet for me and they crank with nice bass with Dolby atmos on... dont know why some peeps are hating on them....there is a lot of issues in general with PIE and Whatsapp.... crapapp glad I dont use it lol

Yeah I already tried Dolby and adjusted the EQ settings in the Galaxy Buds settings....nothing worked. I'm going to try factory resetting.
What's up with these stupid posts? Just report to Samsung and waiting for an update, no need to make drama here.

I have the gear iconx, the Bose free SoundSport, the Jabra 65t and the Galaxy buds. The best hands down is the Jabra 65t better sound better comfort no weird sound drop every now and again. Samsung are good at innovation and starting trends but they get caught up and left behind quite often.

The old app in my note9 had an additional volume control so even if the phone was all the way up there was still some additional gain to be had. But in the s10+ app, it's not there. I wish mine were a bit louder too.

Factory resetting fixed my problem......
Have had them for over a week or so, no issues with disconnects nor Whatsapp. Works perfectly fine.
Great buds. Just wish they were a little louder
I'm surprised by the bad experiences with these. I've had mine since last Friday. So far, I've had no issues with the battery life being crap or disconnecting. In fact, I've had the opposite. Battery life been very solid and they immediately connect to my s10+ seemingly as soon as I lift them out of the case.
Sound quality is also very good.
Now, would I spend $150 on them? No...but that being said, you'd be very hard pressed to see me spend anywhere near that kind of money on ANY headphones.
I guess it's entirely possible that some got a bad batch or something...

After reading online the buds are to be set in the gear wearable app : EQ, parameters, configuration, etc.
I got mine today and after 2 tryouts have considered selling them as 1/ I have issue to wear/adjust properly in the my ears (hard to go thru the canal), 2/ the sound quality seems worse than my Jays not needing charging (worse than my previous klipsch) and they came in white.. like the silicon case they offered me for the delivery delays that came in.. black.. .. for a green S10+...
Indeed, volume is natively less with the buds I had to go max compared to the Jays (but I didn't take the time to open samsung gear/weatable)
They're not bad. I got the Pamu Scroll on an Indigogo special and they're really a top of the line contender. Way more bass and depth of sound. I'm glad to have the Buds as backup and think I have to put time in to optimize.
