I just got a GS4A in somewhat terribad physical condition but it works 100% and it didn't come with any of the original accessories (box, adapter, microUSB cable, and of course the earbuds).
Can anyone that has purchased a GS4A brand new tell me if the stock Samsung earbuds have a volume control in the little remote pod in the cord, and if it can be used for controlling playback as well (Play/Pause, maybe 2 clicks for next song, 3 clicks for Previous, that sort of thing)?
Been searching for an answer but haven't found one yet, not sure precisely which earbuds are included with the GS4A so if anyone can take a picture of theirs or the remote pod (close up/macro image) I'd greatly appreciate it, thanks.
The headset that came with my i9295 has controls, yes, and they work well. I think they can do double-tap for next song in the player I use (poweramp), but don't hold me to that because I got a much nicer set of headphones with my purchase from the store (SOL republic Tracks HD), so I haven't been using the included earbuds much at all.

Are you talking about the international version or the SGH-I537? I have the I537 and it didn't come with any earbuds...

My international one did, but honestly it wouldn't have been a big loss if it didn't. As most bundled earbuds they are good enough, but nothing to be all that happy about. The shape makes them hang a bit awkwardly in my particular ears, and they seem to get pulled out a lot easier than other earbuds I use. The only reason I use them at all is that they are a compatible headset that is more discrete for use when I'm out on town, rather than my over-ear Tracks HD that I use to listen to music and so when I'm at home.
Wow, AT&T being so cheap they can't toss in a pair of $3 earbuds, good lord.
Oh well, I found some on eBay that claim to be the "real deal" Samsung product, which upon getting them I will promptly disassemble and attach my current Koss earbuds where were previously transplanted onto an iPod/iPhone earbud cable.
Thanks for the info...

Good choice, Koss earbuds are way superior to these. Unfortunately I don't have the tools right now or I'd do the same myself, I have a pair of old Koss where the contact broke that are just waiting for such a project.

I've been searching on both the forum and net for suggestions on a bluetooth headset. I mostly see people suggesting a two ear headphone type, which does look nice. Unfortunately, I work with people a lot and wearing such a headset is a big no-no. I'll get complained on in a heartbeat. I would like something that can push music from my phone, take calls, and of course work with an HD2 on Energy roms. No headphone types please just take up one ear.
Any suggestions?

I got this Samsung WEP 870, the sounds quality is not bad consider that price tag is $30+. I used that for music and talk. You can also hook it with the stereo lanyard. Attached the link for reference.

I know I don't want be that guy. I work patrol and have to one ear on my unit's raido at all times. Thus, I wouldn't benefit from wearing stereo headphone in the unit. And just thinking of getting down on a call with headphones covering both ears makes we wonder how fast someone would call in to say, "he was listening to music and it's very disrespectful." It's one of things that sets policy and gets a guy canned. But, like I said before they look sweet.
Too bad your radio doesn't support blue tooth.
plantronics voyager 855 works well with either one ear or with the detachable stereo ear piece.
I believe there's a conspiracy how headphones break in a month or sooner. I think it's a market conspiracy that companies use so, the consumer doesn't stop with one headphone, but keeps buying more and more.
what you guys think?, am I high on something

Don't kick it 'till you try it.
I've had the same pair of Phillips Headphones since 2004... they cost £18... What are you all doing to your headphones to destroy them!?!?
I use the headphones that usualy came with the phones. Never broked one, butI do change phone a bit...
That said, I have the same Panasonic headphones for 20+ years, that I use when at home, for better quality.
I still have a working pair that came with the original game boy, plus a Moto s9 BT headset i had for about a year now, psp headphones I had since 07 i think, HTC headphones that came with my Dash (they even survived the washer & dryer), some great sounding sony headphones i bought from radioshack about 2 years ago, but the only ones that fell apart were some dj style Craig brand chepos from kmart.
wow, I'm cursed with headphones. I remember buying apple headphones for like 50 bucks (what a rip off), they didn't even last an year...
v-moda earplugs for the win!

I'm not huge into it but it is an interest of mine. Besides, I'm sure anyone here can recognize the beauty behind it all.
I use to be real big into it. DB drags and such. That was like 6-10 years ago though. My last system had 3 13" JL w7 powered by 3 JL 1000's... And yes my mother was right, my hearing has gone to ****.

one of the many pics of the build.....
and heres some of the one that i finished up last week.
Both need carpet, and the first one is getting something even more special.
there is an amprack in the top, there will be a flush mounted amp in there.
Let me know what you think.
nice boxes!!! wanna build me one???
I have a passing interest in car audio, just not a huge priority in the budget unfortunately.
This is what I have so far in my car:
dvd receiver with sirius and someday soon, bluetooth
http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/PUSA/Products/CarAudioVideo/In-Dash/DVD-Receivers/AVH-P3100DVD
front speakers
http://www.bostonacoustics.com/Pro60SE-P601.aspx
rear deck:
http://www.bostonacoustics.com/SR95-P627.aspx
Looking at these for the bass:
http://www.bostonacoustics.com/G310-P566.aspx
I already have a box that is in the recommended dimensions for these speakers.
Also, what is a good amp (not crazy expensive) to push these, or is there a better deal on 10inch woofers.
I'm looking for clean sound more than overall thump.
Any suggestions?
your link for the subs returned a server error
and im all about building something and shipping it....lol
Boston is an excellent brand, but compared to their retail pricing, there are better, less expensive options out there.
If youre looking for some ideas, shoot me a PM, i know of a few very good, lesser known companies that I have used, and also that i still use.
try this again. the 10"subs I've been looking at:
http://www.bostonacoustics.com/G310-P566.aspx
I agree, retail they are expensive, but they can be found for half of retail if you shop around.
Meant to edit that post, i clicked a second time and it worked.
They are killer sounding subs for sure. 300/pair isnt all that bad to be honest.

Hi, can you folks reccomend some amplified speakers for use with my Nexus when in the car?
Its great as a sat nav but not loud enough so something that I can fit perhaps at the back of it when in a bracket and powered by 12v/5v ?
I have searched but not come up with much.
Cheers,
Sid
got this ninja turtle speaker at toys r us for my sons tablet in the back seat that is mounted on the head rest. it plugs into the headphone jack and is powered by usb (rechargeable) so you can plug it into any usb car charger. plenty loud and decent sound for the price. they had a bunch of different styles if you're not into ninja turtles lol including a bomb shaped one that was pretty cool looking. it sits on a key ring so you can clamp it to anything http://www.toysrus.com/buy/electronics/audio/speakers/speakers-docks/teenage-mutant-ninja-turtles-portable-ipod-speaker-orange-55065-tru-17356136

Just did a survey of portable ( pocket-able ) amplified speakers, the best sound under 300euros is the JBL charge
http://www.jbl.com/estore/jbl/us/products/JBL-Charge/JBL%20CHARGE_JBL_US
The best above 300 is the BOSE
http://www.bose.com/controller?url=/shop_online/digital_music_systems/bluetooth_speakers/soundlink_wireless_speaker/index.jsp
My tests centered on hi-fi quality, so were performed with a wired link NOT the bluetooth
Thank you but I was thinking of something for in the car, 20 euros being too much to pay let alone 100+ :good:

The Logitech USB speaker works with USB-OTG and it's pretty loud. Combine that with a Y cable for charging and it's not a bad setup. I got mine for $20usd locally on clearance.

Bought the same speaker for about the same price and agree. Decent improvement over the builtin ones although not audiophile or even close but then it's not audiophile priced either.

Get a Lepai. Makes it simple to run normal speakers.

Maybe this need a change to the car audio setup so I can use the car radio.
Problem with that is that its a fiat with blue & me that uses the aux IP for the computer input.
Cheers.
Sid.
You could still use the Lepai for your car stereo also. Just run the audio out on the car stereo to the audio in rca jacks on the Lepai and then hook the cars speakers to the outs on the Lepai.
Tesco have been selling an Altec Lansing speaker for about £7.50 it's a single speaker but has amazing sound, fills the cab of my van without any problems. Battery powered and the batteries seem to last forever.
Now that's more like it.
Cheers.
