The list price is £299, yet they're GIVING them away with every Xperia Z. I can't see any for sale yet on ebay, but I expect there will be a glut of them throughout March!
I have no interest in them, I'll be selling them straight on, but if I was buying I wouldn't pay more than 10% of the retail price.

Plenty of reviews on the web saying they ARE good headphones.
They're giving them away because they don't cost Sony £299 to make them.
There are some for sale on ebay, with people explaining they won't have them till March. IMO, they will be lucky to get the £150+ they are asking, when you can buy them new with a warranty for £170ish.
Having a good pair of headphones is great, I have a £300 pair of Sennheisers and I'll still be keeping these Sony's.
I wouldn't be complaining about free headphones.... This is a special deal only to people in the UK! Be grateful because some people like myself who live in another country couldn't get this if we wanted to.

Reviews on these headphones indicate they're excellent quality for the asking price and VERY comfortable. I'm surprised Sony is providing them as I feel they're actually TOO good for something like this, but eh, more power to them for actually doing this.
I hope Canadians get something nice when we get the ZL

Seriously? Even at their RRP they are pretty good headphones that are suited for almost all kinds of music. They really sound pretty good, they look great and they are probably the most comfortable headphones I have ever tried. What kind of headphones do you usually use then?
Im not going to get them cause i'll buy my Xperia without that deal ( not from carrier ) but i'd love to have them so if any of you want to sell theirs for reasonable price via ebay - i might be interested

I hope we get something with the ZL as well.... But knowing how much of an asshole the Canadian providers are.... There probably won't even be a preorder. If you really want these headphones it might be worth ordering from three with a 1 month contract... If they will even internationally ship it.

I can't get on with over-the-ear heapdhones at all - I just don't find them comfortable. I have a pair of Sennheiser in-ear buds that are a couple of years old but they produce really good quality sound and I can wear them all day comfortably.

These are great headphones, I own a pair... For F***s sake, now I'm mad cause I bought them about 6 months ago.
If you're 100% certain for this phone You should pre-order for the headphones, they're a great piece of cans. One of the best I've tried.
I was planning to wait to buy it and wait for some price drops... If I just didn't buy these headphones. I would've made a great deal
Oh well - Sh** happens.
i mean look at the reviews on amazon http://goo.gl/GIUab they look to be pretty good
only 17 reviews but 15 of them are either 4 or 5 stars which isnt to bad
I have the headphones, still sealed and boxed. They're on ebay, but if anyone's interested, PM me with an offer?

wow,look at the prices of these on ebay.
Before the XZ came out, these were selling for lik £180, now there's so many, they're going for like £70-80!
might be time to buy some.
it annoys me giving money to scalpers, but then, they're gonna get less than half of what they wanted for them!
They're actually very good headphone, however is anyone else having problems with the volume up & down buttons?
On mine they don't do anything the play/pause button works fine tho.

How can they not include a set of headphones?
I have my own for music pair, they have a mic but they're in-ear so they make me talk louder than I should. I was hoping to have another pair for phone usage. :/

a pair of cheap headphones cost at max like what, $2-$4?
I can buy an HDMI cable myself for $5. LG can probably obtain them in bulk for $2 each.
SD cards are a little more expensive, so I can understand that because they included some internal storage. But still, a 4GB card is pretty cheap. But I don't care, I have a collection of microSDs from a 512mb to a couple 8GBs. I have my 16GB inside right now.

I bought Jlab j3m earbuds from amazon and just tested them out. Sound quality is great, and the mic also works well with the g2x. 1 click of the button will pause/play the music or answer/hang up call. A long press brings up the voice dialer but it doesn't work- it gets stuck on 'starting up'.
Has anybody experienced a similar issue of a stuck voice dialer?
Maybe this can be fixed with a different rom?

I agree. I'd rather not have to be forced to pay for cheap headphones or a dinky 2-4GB card anyway since most people like me would upgrade to something bigger and better.

How many people actually use the cheap headphones iPods and cell phones come with? Go to the 99 cents store and those are the quality that comes with most cell phones.
You should buy some decent headphones that will last you through several cell phones. The Klipsch IMAGE S4 is very good. Pricey but you will hear sounds and bass you can't hear with cheap ones. I had Shures and other ones but the Klipsch is my favorite ones.
I don't even know why Motorola trusted me with this tiny ass adapter But I lost the darn thing in a day. Does anyone know where to find a replacement that isn't from China and won't take a month to get here? I tried contacting Motorola about it but all they said was contact Verizon, which is useless considering they don't sell it. Any advice?
Not an answer, but similar question...does anyone know if a usb c to 3.5 mm male cord exists?
My headphones have a removeable cord 3.5mm male on both ends...itd be nice to have a cable as opposed to an adapter.

Yeah they're pretty cheap, but they all come from China.
I am thinking that will be the only option as the original is from China...and I briefly looked into it when I first bought the phone, I was then unlucky enough to receive a defective device and returned it for a replacement...well the adapter was in the bag not the box so I got a spare for the inconvenience of returning to the store.
Bump. Has anyone found a seller in the states? The only places that seem to sell them are from China.
Honestly, if you're a regular listener to music it might be time to go BT.
I've been using BT almost exclusively for a long time and and it's really nice.
First, no tangling of cords. No having to un-knot the mess when you take 'em out of your pocket or bag... no worry about snagging them on something when I'm sitting on the bus communicating to work.
Second, additional controls. Most BT headsets have controls for volume as well as track control so you can adjust without having to open the music app on your phone if you playing a game, checking email, or reading a book. Or...
Third, you don't need to be right next to your phone. You could have your phone tucked away in a purse or bag or briefcase or backpack and still listen to music. Or you could have it sitting on the charge on the counter while you're moving around the house... as long as you're not too far away of course.
Not, I'm not a serious audiophile, so I admit that there may be some degradation of sound quality going via BT. It's no problem for me, but I can understand that it might be so for some people. But unless your the type that really needs super good sound quality... or you just don't have the extra cash handy, BT is the way to go in my humble opinion.

I too only found ones from China, and I finally found a listing in the US for the exact same product in the chinese listings, the white one, and I bought 3 of them. Huge mistake, don't go for them. They don't support stereo headphones :silly:
Huge waste of money. I too decided to go bluetooth as the poster above me, I use a pair of Beats Studio 2.0 (I know you guys hate beats, blah blah blah) and they work great. I did manage to RMA my phone though, as I was having some issues with the power button, and they just sent me a completely new Moto Z Force Droid in box, so I have a spare turbo charger and a new headset adapter

Just came across two eBay listings for what appear to be OEM replacement adapters (SKN6474A), thought I'd share (after I bought two for myself, natch). Kinda weird: same seller, but the first link is for $7.99 Buy-It-Now, the 2nd is for $9.99 but accepting offers. Haven't received them yet so can't say for sure they're the real deal, but the seller has 100% with 150 ratings. Act quick!

Hey guys , I was wondering why did Sony include really bad quality ear phone with the xz premium? it is a really old junk they give with it..
It was free, why complain.
They didn't include any at all.
The one thing that grinds by gear is that they tell you in the starter guide to only use the included cable or you may damage the device.
If they put that kind of request, they should include at least three cables.
But regarding ear phones, I'm glad they didn't include any, I always let them stay in the box unopened.
Yea, my phone didn't come with any earphones at all. But the site I preordered from had a preorder bonus which gave me Sony SBH54 for free.

Anyone has any for sale? Cheaper than 49? ?
It kills me how the $49 price goes up to $61.90 for me after shipping and tax. It makes me want to wait for the new ones that OnePlus is coming out with later this year. They have a DAC in them, so I'm assuming they'll work with the PH-1.
my first pair was defective that came with the device from Essential and they replaced them immediately. I wish they were louder, looking for a good decent DAC (portable).
I tragically lost mine...
Anyone have theirs and willing to sell them at a decent price? I miss them daily.

The ones in the box are not so good too, the thing that they are $100 value was a rude overrate. Even when they first came with the S8 they could have a price point between $40 and $60, now there are about 80 MILLION around the world that's why they cost nothing - and nobody paid for them.

For included headphones, they're surprisingly good I'd say, the pairs I've used from my S9, S9+ and Note 9 have all been good, certainly better than any other included headphones I've received.

I understood your point, and you would be generally correct but I explained you why they are so cheap. They're not ripoff, they're original OEM with warranty included.

I'm talking about ones that came free if you pre-ordered the phone, not anything that came in the box. They're BT, over the ear, AKG headphones that compete with Bose in noise cancelation.
I hate mine personally. They only fit in my ears if I wear them upside down (wire over ear) and the right ear has lost sound twice, will be on my third pair now. Only thing I can say is that Samsung UK support has been good, since they have replaced them twice now for free.

Totally different thing though - I'm looking for the over-the-ear cans. Not buds.
I've purchased a lot of earbuds over the years. You can get some very good sounding buds for $50-100, but beyond that the return on investment diminishes a lot. I have found Klipsch and Bose to be fairly good. I'm on my third set of SoundSports in five years; daily wear; hours per day; can't beat them for the price. Used to be $100; now $50.
The AKGs these Samsungs come with are comparable to many other $15 buds. Not that great. I tried mine for a minute and found them to be garbage.

I still think people are misunderstanding. I'm not talking about the buds. I'm talking about the over the ear cans that came if you pre-ordered the phone. They sell for about $180 on Amazon and were $300 when released. They're very, very nice.
