Seriously? No headphones?

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. :/
Anyone know of a cheap pair I could get?

I got a set, heavily discounted, of the ink'd Skullcandy (ugh) when I picked up the phone this morning. Better than nothing, and dirt cheap.

Can anyone recommend some headphones with a mic?

$45, and you can use your own earbuds.

I suggest everyone checkout head-fi.org and do a search.

I figure I'll drop some dime on the LG HBS-700 headphones. I have a friend who uses those with his Evo 4g, and they are AWESOME.

So will any iPhone compatible headset / mic combo be fully functional with the g2x?
I tried a blackberry headset and the mic did not work, while the button did control music and voice dialer.

I'm guessing no headphones and sdcard is how they got the price of the phone down to $499 off contract

Nice headphones and sounds good also.

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.

dont forget no hdmi / mini hdmi to connect it to the phone that they are so adamant about advertising for. (not as easy to find as a normal hdmi/hdmi cable)

Got these from newegg for my Samsung Vibrant after the headphones Samsung gave me broke. So far they've been great for the price and I love the quality of the wire. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16826735014&Tpk=m9p

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'm using a pair of nuforce ne8 that I bought from Amazon for 50. These headphones sound great and has lasted 2 years and counting. Hope this helps

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.
The dual cores make this piece of hardware pretty pricey ..

anybody experiencing similar issue?

Go to monoprice.com and search for "micro hdmi". They have many lengths and prices are great.
I'm still unsure which headphones (with integrated mic, non-BT) to get. :/

OH PLEASE ! stop making excuses for these cheap mo fo's... no excuse for not having a sd card and or head phones! it probably costs lg 10$ to make this phone.
its the way of the future m'boy! everything is made in china with the cheapest of the cheap, and amenities are a thing of the past.
BUT...I am loving my g2x so far, even though the whole no sd card or earphones, is bs. thats like wsamsung not including a flash on the GS...whats up with that?
but so far most of the other complaints have not appeared on my g2x runs sweet. I did end up sticking a C4 16gb card inside, and that did seem to help a lot!
rooted FTW!

Can you successfully use voice dialer with it? Has anybody used voice dialer with wired headphones?

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.

Headphone suggestion $25-30

I'm looking for a good pair of earbuds for around $25-30. It'd be nice if it had working controls, but im mainly looking for a pair that will stay in my ear. I really liked my iBeats and apple 5th gen earbuds. If anyone could find me an amazon or ebay link to the genuine galaxy s3 earbuds, that would be greatly appreciated too

I completely disagree with the recommendation. Unless you want the controller, you are far better off with something like Vsonic GR02 for example. It's slightly above your budget but you also get a far superior sound.

I don't know about $25-30 but a while back I purchased the Monoprice 108320 Enhanced Bass Hi-Fi Noise Isolating Earphones and even though they don't have any controls, I believe them to be the best for under $15. The only problem is the that it's best to buy new tips and they tend to coil other than that I love and the sound quality is pretty fantastic.

These are amazing

I have Koss porta pro headphones that I bought on eBay years ago probably were closer to $50 but the ksc75 is cheaper and almost the same. For out and about when I don't want to wear ugly looking headphones I have some vmoda in ear I got on eBay a couple years ago for somewhere between $30 and $50 I think. They aren't too bad and they hold up well.

No headphones in box
As the previous post suggests, there are no headphones in the box. I'm using a pair of HTC One headphones, dirt cheap and incredibly fantastic sound; you can get it on Amazon for only a few pounds

There were some earphones sold for limited time in the play store. They were kinda expensive

I can highly recommend the xiaomi pistons 2. The perfect headphones for $20!
10/10 would recommend.

Best earbuds to buy!

The crappy Samsung earbuds that come with the awesome S6 just don't cut it for me. I've owned several HTC devices past years, and always kept their earbuds when I soled them.
Just bought couple more on eBay. HTC earbuds.
But as the S6 has exceptional sound coming from the headset jack, what earbuds are the best out there? For reasonable price! Not Sure category ☺

I've always -really- liked skull candy. not that expensive, but you have to accept theyll break in 3-6 months

Sennheiser and Audio Technica make some nice ones. You get what you pay for.

There are some real good deals to be had in the china market for ear buds if you know what your looking for. Buds that cost fractions of the big names and sound just as good if not better. Have a look at this thread on Head-Fi.org
http://www.head-fi.org/t/684159/chinese-asian-brand-info-thread-headphones-iems-amps-dacs
I personally own the Havi B3 Professional 1 Version( can buy on amazon) and the Original Xiaomi Piston Earphone Updated Version Browns (these will blow your mind for $20) both are fantastic.

Monster Turbines have been great to me, excellent bass and mids and highs.

The Klpisch S4 sound fairly good for their price. They are quite easy to find for $40 -$50 on sale.

When you sign into galaxy apps
Samsung emails you a 30% coupon.
Use that on the Samsung site to buy the headphones that came with the s5 and s4
Those are actually really nice and at $20 after coupon they are a steal
Mine lasted me on average 14 months
(I've bought many for friends and family)

Anyone got a spare set of B&O headphones?

I've just pulled the trigger on a new V30+ (at a great price) but it doesn't come with a set of the B&O headphones (go figure). I'd like to get a set of matching B&O's to take advantage of the DAC.
https://bit.ly/2JOXrMW
My question is whether anyone has a spare set of these B&O headphones that they'd be willing to sell? Thx.

You know you don't need those specific headphones to use the DAC, right?

In the U.S. the V30+ came with "LG" quad headphones, not the B&O branded headphones.

Yep, totally. I need some new in-ears anyway so I just fancied having the whole complete original set. I've heard they're quite good....annoying they don't come with them. They do come as standard so I'm assuming they're taking them out before shipping.
Request still stands though, happy to pay a fair price for an unused set of them.

They're not taking them out. Until a couple of weeks ago, Eglobal was selling the Hong Kong version, it included the B&O earphones.
The versions Eglobal is selling right now are indian variants of the H930DS, those just don't include the earphones for India market (check your software version, it should be Vxxx-IND-xx).
But hey, you get VoLTE out of the box! HK versions don't have that.

$20 and they're yours. I've worn them for about ten minutes btw.

I have a new set in the box. Let me know if you are still interested.
Thanks.

My 16y old daughter took my brand new B&O to make a call and munched the wire while talking and now it's broken...

I compared these headphones to other models from different manufacturers.
They play on the V plan. They are good for OEM, but compared to other headphones they are rather weak.
I think that you can buy much better headphones for 25-30 USD.
For example, RHA MA390.

*whispering* I bought a V30+ just a few days ago from BH photo video and they came with the B&O.
------------- EDIT --------------
@ChazzMatt, sorry, I was wrong, it is a pair or LG.

Right. In North America LG doesn't have the rights to B&O distribution.

I feel the B&O headphones are super weak (do not trigger high impedance mode) and very flat sounding. Anyone else experience this problem? I will gladly sell my gently used B&O's. Also have one brand new in box. Worst sounding earbuds ever.

The included B&O earbuds don't even come close to any of the retail B&O earbuds.. The only thing B&O to them is their name.. For the rest they can at best be considered as cheap OEM freebees. Don't waste your money on them. Instead get yourself Etymotic ER4 XRs. They do way more justice to the internal quad-dac....
(Or alternatively get a good pair of wireless cans such as the B&W PX or Sony WH-1000xm2)

Get BeoPlay H3 in ear wired. I own them for nearly 2 years and they're gorgeous, hit the floor many time and still working fine, wire condition is perfect. These added to LG V30 are rather low class earphones and I'm quite surprised that they're branded by B&O, it only works against them. If earphone cost 25$ you can be sure that it has nothing to do with real Bang and Olufsen sound quality.
