They are brand new, not even listed on AKG's website.
I haven't tried them yet but they look far better than the usual in box earphones most flagships come with. Better quality cable and I assume better sound. Mine won't be used as I have some decent ones of my own, still nice to have them though. Hopefully we can get some comments on them soon.
You can find both the earbuds on amazon to read reviews. Just search akg wireless headphones and find the right ones. The headphones have majorly great reviews.
Hmmm. I dont own the S8+ so can only debate in theory! I have read several reviews that state the AKG ear buds are NOT manufactured by AKG BUT AKG helped Samsung in their development, the ear buds being made by Samsung? I would be very interested to know the facts as one of my passions is music and thus speakers and head phones etc.

Best headphones included with a phone.
The bundled headphones have a fabric cord which should prevent them from tangling. They are tuned by AKG, so they do have higher highs and lower audio frequencies by compared to most headphones by a long shot and I heard they have a value of $99. They are optimized so the experience the listener gets should be superb. I pre-ordered my S8+ from Best Buy and received the additional $100 off the phone. When I get it I will be sure to upload my receipt online to receive my VR, and I will be paying the $99 extra for the VR essentials pack which comes with a 256 go micro sd card as well as another pair of AKG over the ear Bluetooth headphones that retail for $150. April 21st could not come soon enough.
My Samsung rep had then when he came in to show us the phone. The sound is great for a Harmon sound, no different to me than my Tones Infiniums.
Here you can see more

So when i pre-ordereded the phone today, the Tmobile sales guy showed me the headphones, he said they were super super nice, with a braided cable.
It seems that Samsung just ran out of stock on the $99 kit. I tried pre-ordering it today and it just errors out stating the item is out of stock. Hopefully they will make more before the 17th.

Don't worry, you will be able to get them after by going to https://samsungpromotions.com/infinitelyimmersive.html and registering for the promotion. That's what I'm thinking of doing because I opted out of paying $100 but then realized the SD card is $200 alone and now regretting it.

Only downfall is the wait, probably a few weeks after the phone comes in, but still worth it in my opinion.
I actually don't mind the Samsung ones. Decent enough, stay in the ear and get plenty loud. Good pair of backups. I am sure these will be just as good if not better.

I can manage lol. I just want to make sure I get this one. I got uber screwed on the Note 7 release meanwhile others were getting to double dip by getting the note 7 offer then turn around and get the S7E offer at the time as well. I got neither due to constant carrier screw ups.

Although stock will be limited on the VR essentials $99 bundle, Samsung has not run out of stock as nobody is able to upload receipt until after the device is released. Go back to Samsung.com/us/Promotions on the 21st and you will be able get your free gifts. Better yet, download the Samsung Shop app and upload it straight from your S8+!!

Orders from Samsung.com bypass the whole receipt upload process and ship the Fully immersive Gear VR experience bundle with the phone. So yes, it is entirely possible that they will be out of stock by the time the carriers deliver the phones, there were only supposed to be 50K available and given the phenomenal number of pre-orders for the phone I'd expect Samsung.com would have sold several times that by now.
shame this thread has gone way of topic. I would like to know the answer to the OP's question meaning audio quality and not the various deals you may or may not receive.

It's still a bit early for the question, you'll get better answers once people have the S8/S8+ in hand. I will for sure post an update when I get them. I'm not expecting too much, but it was encouraging that Samsung think their internal audio chip is good enough to justify something decent. A $99 pair of AKG earbuds isn't going to wow any of the audiophiles but should be better than the rubbish they normally include. I'm personally more interested in the how good the phone sounds though, coming from the Note 3 which had the Wolfson DAC the S7 Edge doesn't seem quite as good.
My reference phones are Shure SE-315s and SE-535s with custom ear-molds that sound extremely good with the right hardware. If the AKGs sound anywhere near the SE-315s I'd call it a win, they're not going to get close the the SE-535s, especially not without the custom plugs.
Wait, do the AKG earbuds come in the box, or are they a 99 dollar upgrade?

I work at staples and found out today that the G Tablet is being recalled for unspecified reasons. I'm extremely mad as I was hoping to get one for christmas at 279.99. All I can hope for is that this recall makes more of them available on the market at the refurbished price. I'll be sure to update this if I find out if this effects more then just Staples, but I would assume that is the case.

Get it from Sears at the same price.... While they have it. It is the best value for your money on a tablet today... Not because of Viewsonic but because Roebeet's efforts to make it usable.

Yeah, the hw is great, but the stock fw is barely beta quality if not alpha quality. Lots of "force close"s with stock fw.
I actually ended up buying mine at Staples on 11/22, and was surprised to hear of the recall. I only went back on my last day to return it when I had decided to keep it to get a price match to Sears' $379 price... just kicking myself though for not waiting another week and buying at Sears then getting the price match there last weekend to $349... oh well, still best hw of any tablet available ATM with several custom fw options.
(Stock fw was totally awful excepting for the fact that it just wasn't ready to ship, and who knows I might even go back to it someday if they stabilize it and add in more features, e.g. mass storage support, better uSD card mounting scheme, better bluetooth support, stock flash support, etc. probably just dreaming but... kernel source would be even better, as that'd hopefully give the possibility to roll your own version of Android... which is what really got me interested in tablets in the first place, and the gTablet also happens to be the most hackable ATM with several recovery options...)
I tried all the FWs and also returned mine to Staples on the last possible, 14th day at the end of November. When they asked me for a reason I just said "it's a piece of defective crap".
Besides the sh1tty software, I hated the way the screen looked with all those smudges and fingerprints.
This whole endeavor helped me understand why Galaxy Tab is $200 more, and why it is worth it (imho).
I wish these low grade manufacturers did not embarrass Android with their craptablets.
yes it seems that my local staples pulled the G-Tablet as well. They said on the sign that it was due to a manufacturing defect. This is too bad, but I am glad that I bought mine online when I did.

Nothing very humble about your comments, so the imho is quite ironic.... Are you a politician?
That said, returned mine too, late November and got another for a five week return extension. Gtablet rocks now.
Galaxy is marred by a MUCH slower chipset, not as easy to mod, no USB host and a proprietary connection for data. Hardly seems worth $200 extra, IMHO

Could the argument be made that if the firmware was better you would have kept it?. We all should know by now no UI will be perfect because froyo isnt tablet ready..not even on the galaxy tab..I mean screen smudges is not a deal breaker for me where as I guess spending $600+ dollars (or $400 and signing away 2 years of my life) I think I would value a lot more to me. I don't want to wait for a Notion Ink (which will cost you as much when they get done adding them goodies), or Archos(in-stock?) right now. I would rather hack a G Tab, and keep my two hundred.

Also, there're articles recently saying that Samsung is thinking of doing something to prevent rooting...
It seems to me that any tablet is going to have a smudge-able screen, so that's a non-issue to me.
As for the Galaxy tab. I don't want to pay for a cellular service for the device. I keep hoping that Google will relent on the requirement for the cellular connection for Market access.

Moot, since I think the OP may have been a drive-by poster. A little pseudo-humbleness, diss the product and off they go to a Galaxy, which will make them even less happy. Ironic.
I just canceled my order that I placed on woot.com because all this talk about the viewing angles and no market or honeycomb and I really like to have my devices ready fresh out the box so im just gunna wait for the Samsung 10.1 coming in june with its gorgeous display and slim design .I was having that feeling of buyers remorse after I ordered the gtablet lol
Those were the debates I had in my head when I was deciding whether to purchase the woot deal or not. You know what it came down to for me. The cheapest gtab with 16gb internal will be $499. $499-274.99=$224. That's practically 2 Gtabs for the price of one Samsung Galaxy Tab. Plus I will NEVER trust Samsung again when it comes to software. They have screwed me enough times and still are the slowest Android manufacturer at updating software.

I no have any problem with the viewing angles. For me it is ok. And don't expect cheaper tablets unless the unknown brands... The Gtablet is one of the most versatile tablets, you can flash freely almost anything without brick it.
And of course always is gonna be a better deal around the corner, if you wait, but it can keep you waiting for life. I rather prefer live the present.
Just my 0.02 cents
Angles do not bother me at all. In fact, I was traveling this week and the guy next to me kept trying to see what I was doing and I was glad to know that he probably was having trouble.
I have not doubt somebody will figure out how to get Honeycomb on this thing, but right now, I am happy with it as it is with Vegan. My plan is to keep this for a year while HC gets its bugs worked out and the technology drops in price. Then I will buy a new one and give this to my kids who use it over 50% of the time anyways...

*Honks the Nobody Cares Horn* *HONK!*
I'm about to return my 2nd gtab.
I picked up my first Viewsonic gTab from Tiger Direct in Canada. The battery wouldn't charge right out of the box. I ordered another one and sent the first one back. The second randomly loses power while on battery. I have to tap it in the right spot to get it back up again.
I think the build quality is suspect on these units. I'm going to wait for Xoom/Asus Transformer/Samsung...I have to be patient...I don't want to get sucked in to the iDarkside available in stores now.
If every device worked "out of the box" sites like XDA would not be around. XDA is here to help improve the out of box experience. if you don't do that what's the point of coming here?

if you think buying a samsung product will get you a great out of the box experience you are sadly mistaken. the samsung vibrant was pretty much useless and took forever to get the froyi update necessary to make it run at even reasonable speed. cannot compare apples and oranges - this is a 285 dollar tablet

Used the screen to your advantage huh lol nice,and yea I get you by christmas the xoom will probably be around 400$ and also lg tablets toshiba tablets and the rest of the bunch
For the price, I'll take the drawbacks. I just need to do a bit of reading to figure out how to tweak it once it arrives. Hopefully some of my experience with the DX will come in handy.
Samsung makes decent hardware (though my sig might suggest otherwise) but their software sucks. Go look at how stressed out the CM guys are trying to get CM on the SGS.
At $280 the gTab is in the toy category. If I paid $400+ I would expect the thing to work flawlessly.
To each his own really, for me the excitement around the gTab is that it is nearly 100% unlocked so tinkering with the thing will be super easy.
Even some of the complaints people have with the device with the newest patches are kids play compared to some of the crap I had to deal with on my SGS in order to make it work the way I wanted.
That ran through my head for about 5 seconds. Then I remembered that I have a Vibrant.
The hardware's fantastic, but the software it shipped with was garbage, and samsung clearly doesn't give a crap about showing the modders any love with releasing source. Don't get me wrong, I love my phone, but it's the combo of Samsung hardware and Team Whiskey software that makes it good.
Personally, I'm avoiding giving Samsung any more money (Android-wise) unless they start acting more like HTC (who mostly does well, I think) or something.

Really if you have a personal preference like this, why even come on to a GTab forum and post something that you know will possibly start a flame war.
If you did not want to buy it because of what you hear great... for you!

Even with Buyers remorse why would you not sell the tablet for more on ebay or craiglist to make some extra cash???
Does anyone know if it's gonna be in stock again before preorders end?

wow that's QUICK
If you see a 128GB or other model out of stock, you should sign up for the waitlist. That's how I got my preorder for a Pixel 128GB Quite Black.
I just preordered a Pixel 128GB quite black as well. Too bad the wait time for delivery is over a month
I'm glad there is a wait. I already have the Samsung s7 a. D I like the small form factor of this phone. I'm sure the pixel will fit well in the hand. I need for the camera and battery life to be on par with the S7. Waiting allows all the reviews to be done. If there good I'll keep my order, if not I'll cancel the order.
I'm hoping for the price the phone it will at least be on par with the iPhone 7. Can't wait to see.

Yeah, that is definitely a good mindset. My Nexus 6P is great, but I'm kinda disappointed that they dropped the Nexus line (I assume no future updates aside from flashing).
I just pre-ordered to be able to get it early and if the reviews don't match the hype, I figured it'd be easy to return. I was really debating to get the XL for the battery size, but I figured that software and hardware as a "Google" phone would be optimized since Google controls the process so I chose the smaller form factor. I like the smaller form factor as well, especially since the specs are primarily the same. Just worried about battery life but I guess that should be answered shortly when customers starting receiving their phone.
Ideally, I would have it early so I can sell my Nexus 6P before it's depreciation hits rock bottom.
Since the wait time is like a month on shipping, I have s question. If I out an order thru Google store, and let's say in two weeks I can find something to be shipped quicker, can I cancel that one with no hassle before it got shipped? Do you actually prepay, or they will charge only when it is shipped?
They only charge you when they process the order. When you purchase it says preorder (status of orders, are preorder, processing ,shipped, delivered).
Right before your order is ready to ship they process and charge your card. I'm not sure how to cancelling works when the order changes status but it's fairly easy to cancel when it still preorder status
I was just wondering if anyone was lucky enough like myself and scored a Moto Z for $120 at best buy during this past thanksgiving weekend? This was an extraordinary deal I have never seen before for such a "flagship" device at this cost WITHOUT having to pay for any contract since it's DPP (device payment plan). This phone has not had development work because of Verizon's strict bootloader lock, and also the high cost of this device. If a couple of ya'll did get the deal, hopefully someone can help including myself to any developer to speed this process up. Hopefully we will have a rootable/unlocked bootloader for this great device soon!
I saw it from a buddies FB share so im hoping it got around too, and one of my mods is pretty backordered maybe thats a sign of sorts.
I opted for the $240 with free JBL sound mod and Incipio offgrid wireless.
However, unlockable bootloader will never happen, and root is extremely unlikely.

I don't think so... It's only matter of time...
check out swappa now. there are like 32 moto z droids for sale. the market has now become flooded. you could probably offer them $150 if you missed the best buy deal. most are even without any mods.
this deal is back at bestbuy... sort of. $120 total if you opt for 24 months of device payments. It doesn't come with any free moto mods though, but still maybe cheap enough for others to consider http://www.bestbuy.com/site/motorol...grey-verizon-wireless/5387201.p?skuId=5387201
Picked up one at the first deal, and two this time. Going to use one as primary phone, second as backup, and sell one. Crazy good deal for a solid phone. Still available on bestbuy.com. Wish I could find it in white. The website would never allow me to checkout with the White. Must be limited availability.
^ you might have a better chance getting a white one in the store. I hope a lot of people get in on this deal. I can't believe a phone with this kind of hardware is going for just $120
Got four.
Who else has pre-ordered the phone?
ordered on the night of announcement, should hopefully be delivered by 16th Oct

yup, worth a few hundred.
I wasn't going to order, noticed the headphones offer. Headphones better be available when I redeem the offer!
Same for me, saw the promotion appear on the site before the launch videos had even started talking about the phones and ordered there and then.
I've gone for Sorta Sage, expecting by 16th Oct.
Yes ordered Sorta Sage,no issues with 16th give me the weekend to sort it out.
Yep, ordered as soon as it went live during the event and much earlier than expected. Why?
The green looks cool and I am fine with the specs once the battery size was clear.
The form factor is exactly what I want (and sooooo very close to the Essential phone)
The BOSE headphone deal is almost ridiculous (even though I have Sony XM3s) making it a steal.
YMMV etc
Ordered via O2. Will be a great upgrade from the Pixel 3 XL.

I have a problem with my wh900's and ordered the xm3 (overhead headphones so we both mean the frame thing) 2 days ago. I cancelled them this morning after ordering the pixel 5. I'll probably sell them on but I'm curious to hear the difference, meanwhile the xm3 might drop some more in price while I use my wh900 and wait for these Bose units.

Yep, we mean the same Sony ones (apologies, I probably got it wrong). I guess the BOSE will drop heavily in price once a bunch of people get free ones and eBay gets busy with them.
I expected the headphone deal to be in-ears with wireless charging, but now I realise that the 4a5g (what a bad name) has the same deal it makes sense for the latest pixel buds.
To be fair, it's pretty typical El goog seemingly having no sense of narrative with their own products. Perhaps they can push that as "consistency in an ever changing situation". :silly:

Sony's naming convention confuses me, I think there's another one similar in name to xm3 but it's in ear.
I don't think I would have ordered if they came with ear buds, I like my over ear headphones for the office and now wfh.
Yep I also pre ordered the pixel 5 with Bose headphones offer (will be selling it to help offset the cost) even if I get £100-200 for them. I ordered via carephone warehouse. Says 15th October to be delivered! Just need to wait for some decent Spigen cases to show up! I'm coming from a 2017 Sony XZ Premium phone so should be a nice upgrade and also slightly smaller phone but more screen so perfect for me
I had ordered on the Google store initially but my delivery date for sage green was the 27th Oct. Today I cancelled the order on Google store and placed the order on carphone warehouse for the sage and the delivery date is now 15th Oct.
The sage is still available for preorder on carphone warehouse and e2save (both participating retailers for the bose headphone offer) so if like me you also have an end of Oct or early Nov delivery date on Google store then maybe worth cancelling and ordering from one of these (remember the headphone offer is subject to stock so the earlier you get the phone the better).
Who do google use for delivery? Last year when I ordered pixel 4 ukmail delivered . Also I have a delivery date BY October 16th I am hoping maybe it will get a bit earlier, I am off work on 14th/15th then back to work on 16th with 2pm/10pm shifts lol
I told myself I don't need the upgrade yet - then comes Bose offer. I managed to sleep on it for a night and then ordered as soon as I woke up. Expecting on 16th Oct too. Just ordered a clear case in preparation for this.

I've had DPD, Yodel and someone else before. Not sure if they have one dedicated partner
Preordered from mobiles.co.uk (the Voda offer). I'm honestly not expecting to be receiving it on the 16th, as they say.
Ordered from O2 today got the Bose deal ?
ordered from the Google Store to get the 3% cashback and the Bose deal
