US doesn't.
According to the last paragraph or two of this article http://www.androidauthority.com/lg-v20-audio-capabilities-714807/ the B&O deal was only done by LG's Asia region. So, it's Asia only, at least for now. But in practice how different can the B&O branded version be? I'll bet on not very, and any differences found can easily be duplicated by the developers here on Xda.
But during the live press conference in SF, they said the B&O ear buds would be included with the phone for a limited time. So I guess you might still get those without the B&O Play Tuned software.
Years ago, there was a Samsung phone (Verizon) that had a B&O amp speaker built in. I tested it out, and remember the built in speaker and headphones sounded louder, but not better.
I personally am not a fan of B&O, I think their products are over priced and not that good. I'd rater LG partner with B&W (Bowers and Wilkinson) as I own some of their 804 series speakers and headphones, and would totally blow away B&O.
The B&O official certification came with the launch of the phone in S. Korea because of a partnership with them to sell the headphones with it. The actual hardware in the phone used to process sound will be the same no matter which market you purchase from. Actually, T-Mobile just announced today that anyone purchasing this phone will get a free pair of B&O headphones, redeemable through the LG website, so there you go, it's all about partnerships. Rest assured, it's all the same, whether "B&O approved" or not.

Before someone tells me to search again, please read my whole post: I don't think there's a conclusive analysis.
I love my FUZE, and while I don't own an iPhone headset, I have occasionally used my mom's iPhone headset with the HTC dongle that comes with the Fuze.
Also, over the summer, I bought some great replacement Sennheiser earbuds that are designed to work with the iPhone. (They're 3.5 mm tri-ring so they work with any 3.5 mm stereo out device)
Now that I chose the FUZE, I want the Mic from my iPhone and Sennheiser iPhone headsets to work with the FUZE. But, I don't want to use the clunky adapter.
I know Brando and Expansys have adapters available, but can anyone confirm that they work with the Mic on stereo headsets? Thy must be tri-ring (some people call this tri-pole, but I think that's less easy to understand) and it's difficult to confirm with people that such setups are working.
Also, I was wondering if there's a good adapter for mono 2.5 mm wired headsets.
Update
I've scoured the city and the only 3.5 mm headphone adapter is the one that came with the AT&T Fuze. I tried AT&T, Sprint, Verizon, and T-Mobile stores, since all 4 carriers sell HTC devices and should conceivably carry an adapter.
I've bought one online in the meantime, but I spoke to a guy who owned his own cell phone shop and had my phone. He said NONE of the adapters work with the iPhone stereo headset!
Someone should make one, or post a simple guide on how to mod one.
I will note that a Verizon guy was nice enough to give me a 2.5 mm headset/USB combo dongle, but this too is kind of ghetto! Another Verizon guy said he had an extra HTC headset at home that he could give me, and the guy who owned his own shop said he could sell me the HTC headset.
As it stands, if I want to use my own headset I have to use either a Y-dongle or a brick-dongle! Not cool....

I can confirm the following does *not* work with iPhone-designed headphones with mic:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&item=320317530186
I too would like to use an extUSB to 3.5mm adapter with a headset with mic, rather than an adapter with a mic and having to search for a headphone with short cords. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
I have a T-Mobile G1 with the extUSB connector and I'm also looking for an adapter that allows me to connect iPhone/BlackBerry-style headsets with 3.5mm tri-ring (also called TRRS) connectors. This thread is the only one I could found on the Internet that talks about such a thing. Every extUSB to 3.5mm adapter I could found either lacks microphone support with only a 2-ring connector, or has a microphone built-in but still only has a 2-ring connector. It's been almost a year since this thread was started, but has there been any luck by anyone out there of finding such an adapter? I really don't have the skills to solder my own.
Did anybody try the extUSB with built-in microphone? I would like to be able to use it with some headset I own.
But... Is the microphone so crapy as I think?
Have you tried DIY? Here are some info for the pinout here, here, here.
Another one here
Here is JUST the 3.5mm adapter, haven't used it, but they say it's spose to work.

guys, it would be easy to buy the original handset Nexus 4, just buy the Play, but there is no sales available for Brazil, a country that I live. I looked on Ebay and Amazon but not found.
Is there any site that sends goods to South America that sells the original phone for Nexus 4?
Or if someone here could indicate some best headset for N4, but I need to have MIC.
Thanks guys and look back.
The nex 4 doesn't come with a headset or headphones.

I have informed him that I found on Ebay and Amazon
I researched a lot but not found.
You can use any headphones that have a mic. Apple ear buds, for example. Add long as it's from a reputable manufacturer and not a no-name Chinese knockoff factory, it'll work. Controls probably won't work though. Just the earphones and mic.
Search for "TRRS ear phones." Every major manufacturer uses that standard.
More on Chinese knockoff: if you don't care about audio quality (e.g. your earphones will be strictly for voicecalls), then you might be able to find some good, cheap ones. It's hit or miss though. They'll probably all be compatible, but some might break sooner than other. A lot sooner.
As I know the original N4 headphones same as LG HSS-F420B Quadbeat, only different is logo on earbud ( nexus logo vs LG logo). Hope this information will be useful for you
check marshalls minor..
they have good quality of headphones..

Have anyone try LG earphones from LG G2? quadbeat F530..this model have mic+volume..thanks..
Basically i loved the g3 when ot lasted. Lately ive been getting hissing from the audio jacks and random reboots (ive replaced both the audio jack and the battery, neither helped).
Long story short want a new phone.
Looking at the The One+3, HOWEVER it does not ship to norway. I can buy it via retailers in sweden or denmark and have it shiped to me. But if i were to do so i would have to add and extra 25% due to tax. Making the phone cost me 585$ instead of 399. And thats whitout a carrier.
Right now i dont see any other alternative since the s7 is 880$ without a carrier and the Htc 10 is 850$. And to be honest i dont really like neither of them that much. (Not buying the G5 kek)
So.. 585$ One+3 (potentially more to get carrier) Ye or Ne?
Hi there.
I've decided to return my A2017G and get the A2017U model. I have already looked up online where I could order the US Model. But most of my favorite shops like BHPhoto don't send the Axon 7 to Europe. It says "Due to restrictions".
That's the first for me as I use BHPhoto for my Home Cinema and Photo equipment.
Does anyone know an good alternative?
I already checked gearbest but they only offer the International Model (A2017G).
Had the same problem. US official sellers of ZTE AXON 7 are zteusa.com, newegg, bestbuy and bhphoto. Bhphoto is excellent shop with top notch service and international shipping so I placed order end of July after American model launch. When I tried proceed to checkout I got pop up window saying "error has occurred". Asked customers service, they were very polite and it seemed that bhphoto ships international and they would send my phone but ZTE made international sale of Axon 7 forbidden and they couldn't omit this limitation. Was so pissed off :/ finally I bought on ebay but really overpaid (with custom fee 200 usd more). However I don't regret any penny spent at US version. In every aspect it's night and day compared to EU model.
I guess I will sell EU version and buy another US (wanted EU for warranty)

You need to use a shipment service that ships the device to you after receiving it. Something like Shipito.
The only issue are the taxes and the shipment cost.
I have a buddy living and working in NYC he offered me to buy and ship the phone to me. It's just sold out everywhere it seems.
I hope BHPhoto gets an restock soon.

Besides of lack of EU volume limit what are the advantages of A2017U?
For me the most important in phones hardware are screen (amoled 1440p is always my choice) and audio. For audio US version is much better for me cause besides clarity i like really smokin' volume. US version sound loud, crispy, clear and punchy, European is really quiet and dim.
And YES, for me audio power and volume is DEAL BREAKER, i listen to US version at max volume and that's the level I'm satisfied. I don't care about its healthy or not, I'm grown up and it's my preference to blow my ears with noise
Next reason software is completely different. American Axon 7 has ui with app drawer and my voice working (i always use this feature when taking a photo, extremely useful with long exposure you can't move the device to not destroy pic), my voice also open apps etc but most scenarios besides camera i use Google now.
Volte is active and ready to use.
Updates are better done and more frequent, i have September security patch with B27, with EU B03 it's July.
Camera performance, battery life i find also better with us version.
I don't care missing 800lte, cause i use my data without any problems. Watching. HD podcast, streaming extreme quality Spotify, etc with no lags and buffering.

Gearbest version is the A2017G. A friend of mine got it for 350€ with their sale coupon.
The other advantage would be VoLTE support as. The A2017G has no VoLTE in its firmware/baseband. The A2017U does.
Software support is far better and way ahead on the US version.
Also I order from Newegg you get 200$ headphones for free it the current pre-order.

That's too bad. Could your friend confirm if ROM that Gearbest Axon comes with, also has the same EU volume limits like the A2017G sold in Europe? It's pretty much the only thing that could drive me away from A2017G since I mostly care about quality of the headphone jack, speakers, screen and build quality in this phone.

This is ridiculous, then. From what I've heard even australians are getting A2017G, so it seems so stupid that some bizarre EU restrictions would hinder audio experience for non-europeans too. Shame, ZTE, shame.

The audio limitations are probably a software limitation. Which hopefully will be undone by CM.
I doubt that they would implement a hardware limitation. That would have raised the bill of materials.
Where can I buy the G int. model?
Hello I'm interested in buying the LG v20 but I want the bang and Olufsen certified one, that comes with the earphones, from what I've seen in amazon it seems that the one that comes with them is the H990ds, can some of you explain to me the difference between the different models? Or which one should I get, the other one that they offer is the h910a but I've heard it comes with a lot of at&t crap, and without de b&o logo on the back
Im not 100% positive about this but The v20 comes with a DAC built in and im assuming the bang and olufsen are just the headphones that come with that particular one. All of the v20's produce amazing sound.
Hope this helps if no one else gives you an answere.

I might get a LG V20 as well. Found the H990DS from Newegg.ca, pics are showing the B&O logo, but I e-mailed the store and they told me that it doesn't come with the B&O earbuds... So don't let pics fool you...
