[Q] Epic 4G Headphones

I have looked everywhere for a replacement pair of the stock headphones that shipped with the phone. Instead I get a ton of headphones with D700 on it and a bunch of negative reviews.
So I ask you the community, a way for me to accuire a pair of said headphones. Or a good replacement pair that won't break the bank.
So Samsung Epic community....Help a brother out?

Surprisingly, I use a full size sony headphone with ear cushion and notice no decline in battery charge compared to the out of box ear buds. The sound is much better and not too cumbersome. Price? ,,,about $40 but usable on the home stereo also.

i use a pair of meelectronics m11+ that has an inline mic control, these can be picked up for around 30-40

I got a pair similar to the oem headphones, off of Monoprice for a few bucks. They have a half dozen to choose from.

I found the OEM headphones quite terrible sounding. Now I an using UE TripleFi 10vi. It's very natural sounding and it takes advantage of the wolfson WM8994 DAC with voodoo 6 control & audio kernel by supercurio.

Yeah amazon has the best deals for headphones. As long as the title says OEM your good to go. I was about to buy a pair but I'll just wait till my current ones die out on me from sweat or the plug in messing up like all my other headphones. They've lasted quite a while though.

I use the black berry premium that have the music controls on them. However the music controls only bring up your calls list and dial your last number called. Sound is great.

So you don't want this closed?

Yeah, the stock Epic 4G headphones are pretty dope on their on... With Voodoo Control. Funny that I ignored them for the first month and a half thinking they were crappy. Wasn't until I checked on forums like this did I see people post positive feedback on them.

I use the headphones from an my touch 4G

What price is braking the bank for you. I could offer up a recommendation for your price range.

Believe it or not I got a pair of skull candies from fred meyer on sale for only $8 and they re great. The stock headphones have a mic though for answering calls. If you just want to jam though, get some skull candies on sale. They are awesome

Does the N4 not support 3 button headsets or did I just buy a really cheap pair?
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium

I don't think android supports 3-button headsets. At least not on the last 2 phones I've owned.

Most of the headsets don't have volume control support for android handsets. But, I just bought sony mh1c, [ bulk package for cheap; around 25$] which supports volume plus/minus on my Galaxy S2, and should do for N4 as well. Will check once I receive it.
BTW, shouldn't your post be in the Nexus 4 Q& A subforum?

It's been a few years since I've purchased it, but the I the have Jawbone Icon and it works great. Though I have yet to use it on my S4. I mostly bought it to use for long talk sessions with my girlfriend (now wife) so I wouldn't tire of holding the phone. I never wore it out anywhere, just not one of those people. Nor in my truck, as it has built in Bluetooth capability.
Good luck on finding one that is right for you. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

Jabra Sport or Plantronics BackBeat GO 2 (I Have the plantronics BBgo2 , I'm Happy :victory: ).

How is the call quality on the plantronics backbeat? Especially while driving, etc.

i have a sliver... and no issues. i LOVE IT

I am using the Plantronics Legend. I work on corporate and travel a lot. It has great battery life and excellent soind quality. Also like the gesture and voice features (e.g., pick up to answer). Also good enough to use with Dragon Naturally Speaking transcription software. It just works amazingly well. I upgraded from Jawbone Icon. Would highly recommend.

Call quality its fair, the bb2go it's intended for stereo music listening.
If call quality is your concern, the best is the plantronics voyager pro (mono sound)

Still using my blue parrot. Do I look stupid, yes. But by far the best noise canceling, loudest headset I've ever had!

Jaybird Bluebuds X, that's what I have work great and last all day. They are expensive $170 but there are some 20% off coupons online I found one and if you buy it on their online store you don't have to pay taxes. At least I didn't.

If you're looking for an A2DP bluetooth stereo headset I really like my LG Tone though one of the earbuds cracked on the seam, but nothing a little superglue won't cure. I've been using it while riding my motorcycle and the sound is crisp and clear though lacking a lot of bass (I like my bass). All in all I'd buy it again.

the next model up is also available, heard the audio on it is even better though the noise canceling isn't as great as the first one.
http://www.amazon.com/LG-Electronics-Tone-HBS-730-Bluetooth/dp/B009A5204K
just my thoughts.

I use my Bose Bluetooth Headset Series 2 just about every day, all day. I love it. Sound quality is great and the battery life is insane.

That's what I figured. Its just so bulky. But I guess its give and take for what I need and smaller so called normal sets just don't cut it. Thanks so much for the feedback!

I started using the Jawbone Icon, and now I have the Jawbone Era in my Freightshaker, These BT's have worked very good for me so far.

No headphones!

So over and over Verizon some how, some way finds a way to screw us, its customers, over. I opened up my box expecting there to be a new pair of Samsung ear buds in there. Nope. Verizon has done it again by taking away features that they think aren't necessary. What gives them the right to do this? I mean. Really? What idiot at Verizon decided that this was a good idea?

Here's what makes me mad. The s6+ came with headphones why not the note too? Both should be the same imo

Yeah I know I got some from Amazon last year that are great and were only like $20. From Japan or somewhere they sound much better then the Samsung cheap ones

Maybe they do it to shave some $ off the price? I think all the other carriers have headphones and if I'm not mistaken, Verizon note 5 is the cheapest of all? Grasping for a logical answer.

Not to be mean but what do you think those headphones cost for Samsung to make? I'd venture to say maybe 50 cents? Somewhere in that ballpark

I understand the cost to make. Truthfully the whole phone probably costs less than $100 to make. I was talking about the full price of the phone being cheaper than the other carriers. Listen, I agree....we should get the headphones. I was just trying to think why they don't. Its the only reason I could come up with.

No no I understand you meant Verizon note 5 is cheapest I was just pointing out they are super cheap headphones lol and Verizon probably gets the cheapest because they sell the most Samsung. That would be my guess

I guess I should go check the box, lol! I have two good sets of wireless headphones , so if it's not in there, no biggie imo, for me any way.

Note series doesn't come with headphones. S series do. Its been that way for a while. Samsung rep confirmed. Note users are generally more business use due to the stylus for signatures etc while the S series is more for the user to use on an arm band while exercising or for the general use of entertainment.

The only thing good about the Samsung stock headphones is that you can increase the horrible volume from the Note 4 with them (Perhaps the volume is better on the 5), however, since they generally break in a week, a decent pair of bluetooth ones make a world of difference.
You've spent good money on the phone, might as well spend a few more and buy some headphones. I use Jaybird Bluebuds X. <3 them.

Good thing my s6 came with headphones

I can't use ear buds, it hurts my ears, but still would've wanted them. My kids are always breaking/losing them, but NOT for $100.
