So far I've tried the stock headphones and the gear circle. The gear circle sounds great when watching movies and i dont have to worry about the wire.

On the most part, you get what you pay for... and headphones are, generally, much better than earphones.

Hi. So are the Gear Circles better than the stock Note 4 ones? I'm mainly looking for something that will sound good in Oculus Cinema.
thanks
Level Overs are great for cinematic

Sennheiser has always been hard to beat. A superb pair of on-ear is http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005N8W16U and for earbuds: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005N8W16U (a little retro looking but I sort of like that.) I don't use the canal buds which block outside sound enough to have an opinion.
No need to be specific to the Gear VR. A good 'phone is a good 'phone.
I tried using my Turtle Beach headphones first, that I use with my Xbox, but after plugging them in and connecting my phone to the Gear VR, Google Now starts pulling up consistently. I borrowed a pair of my daughter's headphones that I bought her for Christmas, and they can be plugged in and I don't get Google Now popping up consistently, so they're good in my book. They're Beats Audio headphones. Even though the Beats sound good, there must be others that work and support 7.1 surround sound, which I've read about. I would love to get a pair of those, but I just don't know much about headphones. I' D like to know if any exist that will plug into my phone, my phone plug into the VR without holding down my homescreen, and that offer multi channel surround.
Noise cancelling bose FULL IMMERSION
Just a notice to surround sound headphones:
I would better invest in some good stereo headphones instead of surround ones.
When the app is using Oculus RealSpace3D audio plugin - which all good apps will / should use - then stereo headphones are better for binaural audio as surround headphones would deform the sound you're ears should receive!
A good implementation of binaural audio beats down every surround sound headphone model.
Also the benefits of wired ones (currently) overweight the wireless option:
- no sound lag (caused by bluetooth transcoding)
- less battery drain (bluetooth...)
- less phone heating (bluetooth..)
- better sound quality (as good sound quality wireless headphones are really expensive - audiophiles would even argue there are no wireless headphones which sound really good)
Have fun and I hope this helps!
Samsung level over, the best of all. I tried most of brand of headphones but now I am gonna stick with the level over.
I just use the ones that come with Note 4, or Koss Pro Headphones (amazing price, amazing quality)
Koss Pro Headphones rock. They sound like 400$ headphones. I did the test in a blind eye test.

This topic was not opend to praise Apple for its products but to let you know that i've tried several products in order to replace the original HTC HD2 headset (wich is crap by the way) and Apple is the way to go.
I have tried to replace the earbuds on the original headset like shown in the tutotial in the wiki section, I have tried different headphones from Sony Ericsson, Phillips etc.
This morning I tried the Iphone 3G headset... the sound is unbelivable... and on top of that you have the mic and the play/pause/answer/hangup... and with headset button app you can do even forward/back/volume etc.
That's it! Just wanted to let you know
bull****, i have both htc and apple's headphones they both crap but the best headphone i have ever tried is the v moda2.......
the beauty is in the eye of the beholder...
ya may be ,but i thought we are talking about sound quality here.lol...anyway i like my v moda2 but i cant control music from that.do you know any best and cheap bluetooth connector so i can combine my headphones with it to work on hd2.
Sorry to break it to you but you haven't found the best wired headset.
If I ever need to buy a headset with remote control it will be the Etymotic HF2... I doubt you can get anything better sounding that has a remote control. http://www.etymotic.com/ephp/hf2.aspx
Brgds... /Tubgirl
they may be better but they are more than 6 times the price of an iphone 3G headset... and do you know if the remote works with the HD2?
yes these are good but check it out i am using these vibeii and the only problum i am facing(as i mentioned before)is the track backword/forward button is not compatilble with my hd2.however i can still use the mike and play/pause button and one more thing sound is incedible for that much value.that is why i am looking for some sort of bluetooth reciver extention so i can use controllers.
best is hd2's headset modded with in-ears
DN41
i modified it with earbuds from a pair of ipod shuffle headphones (that sounded great on the ipod) but the result is not that good on the HD2
anyway... from what i've seen Etymotic HF2 looks promising...
Best headphones are closed ones ( I prefer Sennheiser , I've got HD515 model)
In-ear : same , Sennheiser , (cx and mx series).
I don't really use a headset but just for listening to music daily, I use the Zune Premium headphones, you can get them pretty cheap on Amazon now and the sound is excellent.
They've no controls but sound quality of the Klipsch Image S4 are brilliant

I have has several set of shures, and now i am the using se210, on both my HD2 and my Zune hd 32gb, they are phenominal.Pricey but worth every cent
Well I think for music my westone UM3X or ATH-CK100 blow all of them out of the water - especially as I have custom sleeves for them......HOWEVER, they don't have a remote control, and are bloody expensive
So kudos to the op for finding a cheap earbud that sounds good enough for the HD2 (as tbh it is a pretty crappy music player if you use high end IEMs), with a FULLY working remote.
Sennheiser for theh win! I had bose inears 125 euros,they did sound like ****,now i have sennheisers cx300 version 2 for 35 euros and sounds much better. @home i use the sennheiser hd 515,also great ghehe. I put these 2 in a jabra bt 3030,best wireless remote ever

"Hearing' that people are saying the sound is 'crap' (their words), I was wondering if anyone has had a chance to try a decent set of bluetooth earbuds or headphones?
I would like something with a full range, good highs and lows. I have a decent pair of corded Sennheisers that I used to use with my TF101 Transformer, but I am afraid the SQ may be as bad as others are saying.
These have decent reviews:

I use a Sony MW600 with my phones (n7 hasn't arrived yet, but plan on using the MW600 with it as well). I think that the Smart Wireless Headset pro replaced the MW600, but not 100% sure.
I *totally* recommend the mw600's (and I'm assuming the newer Smart Wireless Headset pro will be similar in quality). The sound quality is excellent. I'd call myself a casual audiophile... I appreciate good sound even if I don't have a "golden ear". I really don't detect any difference between the BT audio and direct cable with the same headphones.
So that being said, I used the mw600s till the included ear buds (in ear buds, not quite IEMs) wore out. I now use the teeny MW600 with my Sennheiser HD25 SPs. LOVE THIS COMBINATION. It's amazing how long the MW600 drives the HD25s, how loud and clear the audio can be.
And the Sony BT dongle handles calls as well, of course.
Get it (or the smart wireless headset pro, I'd assume they are similar in quality, but best to research) and the HD25 SPs and you're golden.
Note that I did recable my HD25 SPs and built a split cable that pigtails short off of the headphones so I can clip the Sony dongle to my shirt, along with an extension if I'm using the HD25s hardwired.
I currently use some MM400 sennheisers, works great on my N7, iPhone ect
The forward/backwards function works too!

I use a set of JayBird Freedoms that I use with my Motoactv and my GS2. Sound quality is pretty similar to my Bose IE2's. They carry good range, highs and lows. I have read that they have a great warranty and good customer support. Luckily I have not had to put it to the test yet.
Jaybirds here also. I've had them for about 8 months and love them.

If you are looking for bluetooth, make sure it has the apt-x codec. It makes your audio files sound like a wired headset. I use the HTC stereoclip in my car and for my EVO LTE. The soun difference is amazing. The samsung hs3000 has it also and they come with earbuds and it is only $34 on Amazon. Look on the Evo lte forums under accessories to learn more.
Has anyone used the LG Tone - HBS700 Wireless Bluetooth Headset? Looks like it has good reviews and it would be comfortable to wear. I'm debating on buying it. I listen to music relatively frequently as i'm out and about and would like to go wireless for convenience, but not sure if it is an absolute necessity.

Bluetooth audio is about convenience, but there really are some gems out there for audio quality.
I'm still using a 5+ year old set of Jabra bluetooth headphones I bought new from Tigerdirect when they mysteriously went on sale for $25 shipped.. and a few days later they went back up to the normaly $125... not before me advising a bunch of co-workers at the time and letting them try them out.
This was when Bluetooth 2.1+edr was pretty cutting edge, and for wireless headphones they sound fantastic.
That being said, when I get my Nexus 7 16gb pre-order in, I'll test them out... but on a new device I have no doubts they'll sound great.
I also have an old pair of KOSS headphones, with full range, but they look ridiculous with large bold print on each ear, but they sound great.
I'd update that, but I rarely wear headphones while at home. I work for a large Canadian Bank doing internal IT, and I wear a monural plantronics headphone most of the day, so I give my ears a break after hours.
I'm thinking of buying the Klipsch S4A for my GN2 but before I splash out the money I'd like to know if anyone have any experience with these in-ears. How are the audiophiles? And if it's fully compatible with GN2? Thx all!

People claim they are awesome. I own a pair and do not think they are that great. Nothing, IMO, beats a pair of over the ear headphones. $100 bucks is pricey too for a pair of earbuds. The quality seems to be quite low, too. I replaced them twice before buying a pair of headphones.

I have them and I love em. They sound better than any other earbuds ive owned.
I have the image s4's. I would say they are fairly average in that range. Etymotics have better fidelity but less bass.
The sound profile of these changes completely once you get a set of comply foam tips on them. Seal is better, bass is punchier, mids and highs aren't as grating and they fit my ears a lot more comfortably.

I use my GR07 MK2 (neutral) almost exclusively, but my partner owns a pair of ckm500 and they're very "fun" & easy to drive. A little too "boomy" and no where near quick enough for me, but keep in mind this is coming from someone who enjoys quick precise BA/ BA like dynamic iems

In-Ear Monitors (IEMs) can most certainly be worth the price, plenty of professional musicians using them onstage quite happily. For great info on headphones check a musician or audiophile source, I like head-fi.org, here's a buying guide they keep updated:
http://www.head-fi.org/a/buying-guide-headphones-by-price-range
also check http://www.gearslutz.com/board/ which is a music engineering forum, I'm sure there's some good info there.
When I decided to get a nice pair of over-the ear headphones I took my ipod to Guitar Center and started taking headphones out of boxes and trying them out. A musician-based store will understand needing to audition the gear, and I ended up spending $150 on a pair of KKRs that I love, which I use with my Viewsonic Gtab. I routinely hear things in songs I've never heard before with this setup.
There's another thread in this forum about using external USB Digital-Analogue Converters (DACs) with the HDMI port to get even better sound, but then you start running into the quality of your files, lossy(mp3) vs lossless(flac), etc.
FWIW At work I love my cheap Sony plugs, surprisingly nice sound for under $20.
DOH. Didn't even see that everyone else was linking to head-fi.
A good pair of IEMS can sound better than Over the ears cans, here are mine http://www.head-fi.org/t/596573/new-toy-iems-and-music-player-d#post_8156648 been using it with the S3, iPhone 5, and now the Note II and so far soooo good
these are http://audioearz.com Cheap but high quality !!!!! i just recently upgrade mine from AUD-5x to AUD-7x
im using stock headphones that came with the note 2. listening to it with power amp and bass and treble turned higher, it sounds amazing.
Hey! Thanks for all the replies! What I'm after is a decent pair of IEM with the mic and volume controls which is fully compatible with the GN2. The stock one aren't that bad but I'm looking for something with better audiophile but has to have the hands-free function as well. The S4A II seems to be the only one that fits the job right now. I've looked at JAYS but not so sure about brand. When I really just want to listen to music, I use my custom fit pair of UE.

I use a pair of Sony XBA-2vp. Dual balanced armature IEMs with mic control for Android. Volume control is through an analog slider though.
IIRC it got decent reviews on Head Fi. Although if there was a XBA-3 with Android controls, I would have probably bought that instead.
Kind regards
Does anyone use or know of a good sound dock to use with our note 2?
There are plenty of options for the iPhone/ipod but android seems quite limited.
Phillips seem to have a fairly good range from budget to higher end.
Or maybe is it better to have just a speaker(s)
I am not wanting one to use as an alarm just purely for music.

Both speakers look interesting, the Jambox seems to have some good reviews and is near to the top end of what i am wanting to spend.
Sound quality is a factor and i know i am not going to get state of the art with my budget nor ear splitting volume, i have my stereo for that anyway the Jambox again seems to have good reviews for sound quality the mini boombox does not have quite the same reviews although there is quite a price difference between the two.
One advantage of these as opposed to a dock is they are portable.
Any other recommendations on other speakers or docks or user views on the two items mentioned above.
Thanks
I was in Target couple days ago, and saw Bose Soundlink and BigJambox, same price, but I'm more interested in the Jambox, the demo song, it does indeed shows 3D virtual surround. Not sure if it still have 3D with non binaural recorded songs, but it's amazing. Might get that, need to save some dough first though, at$300 it's not cheap for me.

Thanks, do you have a link to the exact model you mention.
With the change to lightning from the Apple 30 pin, there should be a ton of discounted speakers and docks made for the older gen iOS devices. With Bluetooth to 30 pin adapters like this dockboss air : http://www.cablejive.com/products/dockBoss-air.html , you should be able to find a good solution. This is actually how I've tapped into my car stereo which has an iPod connector with my android devices. The nice side effect is that it passes the media controls as well, so the track advance/reverse can be controlled through it.

Edit:
The Altec speaker is more on the clinical side... so it is good for listening to musical, voacls, rock, etc... it lacks the very deep bass of other speakers like the Bose or Logitech Boombox which I have owned... but it compensates for it's audio clarity... If you like bigger boomy bass, go for the logitach boombox, otherwise go for the the Altec... the Bose is not worth it IMHO.

I have the sound stack from soundfreaq. They make a really good product from my experience.
I did a review of it here:
http://www.examiner.com/review/review-soundfreaq-sound-stack-bluetooth-speaker-dock
I have reviews coming up of specific android units from philips, iluv, and gracedigital. The grace digital dock is even note 2 specific!
Just an update on my Soundfreaq sound kick.
I am really impressed with the speaker, amazing clear sounds with no distortion, volume level is great as well.
Not for anyone who is looking for deep bass, but this little speaker is perfect for needs.
I like the usb slot at the back so i can charge my phone as it plays if i need to.
Really happy and a bargain at £74 when i bought it.

Yup, another vote here for the Jaybird x3. Comfortable and offer great sound. Can’t go wrong buying em.
I use the Bose QC35. One of the best Noise cancellation headsets in the market.and huge battery backup.
I'd go for one of the Sony over ear wireless sets. I have the MDR10RNC and they're incredible. Just my two cents
I tried noise cancelling phones (sony and bose) and their sound quality is sub-par compared to good ear buds. no doubt they are very good at noise cancelling. I like my Jaybird X2 lot better than Sony MDR-1000X and Bose QC35. Try them first before you purchase.
Jaybird X3s here in Camo. With MemoryFoam tips of the right size are absolutely superb daily drivers. Won't win any audiophile SQ awards, but deliver on all sound fronts for the genres of music I listen to; EDM, HipHop, Rock, New Age. I use the Eq on the Jaybird App in tandem with the Eq in PowerAmp. Good stuff there.
When I really want some bass I plug in my MDR-XB90Ex's with Comply tips.
I don't know about the others but I have the Onkyo E700BT and I'm very satisfied with them.

I have the Bose Soundsport Wireless and the Sony MDR-ZX770BN and love them both. The Bose are great for running, gym work and outdoors while the Sony are great for in office listening as they get rid of the AC background hum which also works great on a flight.
I did have the Jaybird X3 and the design and sound were great but after an hour or so they started hurting my ears whereas the Bose don't put any pressure on your ear canal and lock into your ear with the rubber fin which I find much more comfortable.
I got myself a pair of the V-MODA Crossfade II Wireless. They're still having the spring sale (??), so get em' while you can.
If you are really interested in getting a nice audio setup, you will need a nice amp that can power your headphones. Phone DACs are not as good (in comparison) and cannot possibly hope to compare with say a desktop setup (e.g. Sennheiser HD 800S, Woo Audio Amp [brand doesn't necessarily matter], nice balanced cables, a good sound card for your PC). You can easily spend thousands of dollars...
Wired is always better than wireless. You can easily get to the point of diminishing returns with a phone, but I'd say an easy pick for a great earphone is the Sennheiser IE 800S. Obviously you would need a DAC AMP to get more out of the earphones, but I'm sure you either won't be able to tell the sound quality difference, or you can rest easy knowing that your earphones are not the limiting factor in your phone setup.

Yeah ! Just go for 1more triple drivers
1MORE E1001 Ecouteur intra-auriculaire (couleur or) très haute résolution triple driver (transducteur) - Casque avec microphone intégré et bouton télécommande multifonctions pour iOS et Android https://www.amazon.fr/dp/B01A7G35S0/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_Cpe7AbH3SCY6Z
Or go for the quad drivers if you can afford them but triple is already excellent

I bought those, really good sound quality of you could get them to stay in your ear properly, also not made well as 2 set have had the 3.5mm jack fail on me now. I went with Sennheiser 599's after that and haven't looked back. They are big , and over the ear , but sound quality is awesome.
Sent from my Galaxy Note8 using XDA Labs
The earphones that come with the Note 8 are actually pretty good. I don't see the point in getting another set unless you are a hardcore audiophile.
The AKGs the note 8 came with lmao
Beats studio 3 wireless working great for me

Do you have a link? I love my Shure Se215 and they released the wireless versions of them, but I don't wanna spend the 100 for the Shure adapter. How is the sound quality, any issues with the bluetooth?
