Gift from Brightpoint - Speakerdock? - Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers

My Fedex delivery manager shows the same gift that others who ordered from Samsung direct are getting. A USB-C amplified speaker dock. Is it actually a speaker that plays sound or a relay? I am unable to find any info about it at all.

It's a cone, you know, for sound.

Mine has not left Indiana yet. Says should have been delivered the 12th. Oh well, doesnt look like anything special.

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.

Where to buy the original headset?

Hello,
My original Omnia 7 headset is broken and I'd like to know where I can buy the same original headset. Thanks.
http://lmgtfy.com/?q=samsung+headset
Not very helpful
Lol, I've already searched online; I've searched ebay, amazon & google. All I ever find are earphones/headsets that are not the same as my original omnia 7's.
To be more specific about my problem: all I want is a pair of wired earphones whose music controls work with Windows Phone 7.
I don't think you checked very well, in the 1st and 2nd link on google you can find original earphones
Not the same
I typically see this earphone (http://www.cellularfactory.com/det.jsp?d=47859&c=632810) which is not the same as my Omnia 7's.
yeah, the one in pic is the same as my original but the part you put in ear is transparent in mines
if yours is different then put a picture because now i'm curious
You can find it on amazon.de => http://o-x.fr/wqpuj
Hello, I got the same problem and looking for THE original Samsung Omnia 7 Headset, its called "EHS60AVNBE". And thats the picture of it.
Any idea?
hxxp://w**.myvoicecomm.com/core_files/uploads/EHS60AVNBE2.jpg
good thing i found this link. my ones died and ive only got my a-jays fours which i can confirm the remote barley works. only play/pause works. mic =fail and volume = fail. i need the official ones pronto.
what i have tested is the galaxy s2 headset. The mic works and only has one button. which is volume up on omnia 7.

thats the exact headset but ive got no idea on what im doing on the website. and whats the shipping cost etc. if anyone can help me out here i will gladly buy and test it out. also to note its from samsung if you check the amazon seller.
Naah, this headset is the right one, but the seller on the amazon site its the same as on ebay. Look at the "Impressum".

I ordered these Headset couple days ago and got them today. But its the wrong headset, its the standard one with only one!! button.
are you sure its the same seller from amazon cause the seller on my amazon link is "samsung" that much i know.
http://www.all4cellular.com/samsung-3-5mm-hands-free-stereo-headset-ehs60avnbe.html
also check out this link as it has the correct ones. doesn't say "for" or "genuine for" it says the model no. etc. i might email and then gamble on these.
I've just ordered the same headset from ebay (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/New-Samsu...ccessories&hash=item1c232721e4#ht_2199wt_1010). I'll let you guys know how it performs.
Had the same problem - called Samsung and they replaced mine free under warranty. Apparently they have a year's warranty on them, the phone is 2 years (in the UK at least).
Hope this helps.
I tried it: No replacement under warranty in Germany...
and still I have no working headphone with my omnia (Controls+Mic).
I bought 3 pairs from eBay - all were rubbish and returned them back.
ended up buying a pair at a local operator store.

Replacement USB-C to 3.5mm adapter?

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.

In fact I know I saw one on the Verizon site. Just don't remember which day.

Just went to go look all over the "shop" section on their website, didn't see anything, you may have gotten it confused with their Micro USB to USB C connector. Thanks anyway man
A search on google yields plenty of ebay results, Im even more glad I got two now.
The ones on ebay are pretty cheap if you can find reviews in there to look at

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

I hope that will be good wth a sennheiser hd700, I have a FIIO E11 amplifier but I would prefer It works without it, just with this cable would be perfect !
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!

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.

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.

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.

Looks like headphones (AKGs) are included in certain regions...

I came across this official Samsung video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JSHt-pvTK8g
At time mark: 00:35 seconds into it, the video shows AKGs head-phones for the Samsung Note 20 Ultra.
I guess certain regions get this?

According to CNET
If I don't have USB-C headphones what am I supposed to do?
Samsung has your back. If you need a pair of USB-C wired headphones, Samsung's customer service will give you a pair for free. The company will even cover shipping and handling.
I think in UE it's mandatory by law to have included the charger and the headphones.

I received my pre-orderd ATT N20 Ultra today and contacted Samsung's service team to request a set of wired headphones and was told they were not offering free headphones to US customers.
Same here..got my device pre ordered from At&t...No headphones.

Look, you guys in the US have the Snapdragon. Be satisfied LOL!
To make up for the Exynos version, we are getting the earphones, possibly a case (as seen in some unboxing videos) and and an extra 128Gb storage on the base model. Does this make up for an inferior chipset? Probably not for the likes of us on XDA, but average consumers will welcome them.
.
Nice, for a worse pants you get extra pocket on it.
One can't compensate the other, and if it's about the UE, they are forced to include it by law.
you cats in the US that state samsung are not going to give you wired phones -- you need to reach out to another rep. i hit up their chat box and within 5 minutes i had the code being sent to my inbox for the 30 dollars (shipping is extra that you pay). im not going to use it for the buds since i have several pairs from over the years, but they will absolutely give you a voucher in the US.
I still have my wired buds from my Note 9 and Note 10+ and.... Well... They never made it out of the phone box. Never been unpacked or used. I cannot stand wired headphones and use my Buds. I know, I'm an exception to the rule, but all in all, I just can't get myself to even try them. I am, admittedly, clumsy and always get myself tied up in the cords and either pull the headphones out of the jack or my ears and in worst cases the phone out of my pocket and onto the ground. LOL!
