I tragically lost mine...
Anyone have theirs and willing to sell them at a decent price? I miss them daily.
You can still find them online for pretty cheap, I was looking a few months ago

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.
I suggest you as better value earphones the OneMore triple driver

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 wouldn't pay $100 for them for sure but if you're paying $7.50 from an Amazon seller, you're guaranteed a **** pair.

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 also underestimated the number of headphones around the globe, maybe it's more than 120 millions combining s8/s8+ s9/s9+ s10/s10+ Note 8 Note 9 sales.

I understand it's not very clear but those aren't sold by Samsung, they're sold by "Accessories r us".
Just look at the reviews "Buyer beware: Knockoff "OEM Stereo headphones", "This is fake.", "Not good quality or sound quality". I think you get the point.

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.

WOW thank you! Just ordered my own! That's amazing!
I just ordered these as well.
I'll report back later on the quality. Thanks for the heads up.
I just got mine today! They sound pretty good! I'm using a variety of different sources to determine their sound quality. They sound great on the G2 though!
damn i missed it off to ebay with the fake ones
Right. Who thinks these are actually going to be any good?
http://www.sony.co.uk/product/hps-prestige-headband/mdr-1r
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.

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.

The remote control is designed to work with iOS devices such as iPhone, iPad ect. It don't necessarily work on Android.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.
Are they worth picking up from the essential site for $49?

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).
