I'm assuming you're talking about the headphones? I've been using some cheap Skull Candy HPs for the longest time with no issues. I got the phone used so all I got was a charger. Haha. Can't say I've ever heard of the problem you're having though.

Bose is over priced, skull candy is worth only if u live in us. But IMO their sound quality isn't very remarkable, skull candy is notorious for its bass which sounds terrible.
If u are looking for Sth cheap while neutral sounding, u could go for the westones um2 series. Or St cheaper... the ultimatears200. Or if u dont wana pay convince some one to pas u their Sony ericsons in ears, they are pretty decent hahas. For ear buds, apple ones are decent.

I've been using MEElectronics m6p and I think they're great. Search around for the best price. I got a great price off eBay. A while back.

The TF10 sounds awesome, but has serious fit issues for a lot of people, myself included.
bluetooth headset all the way, have never plugged a wire in other than for power.
try JLab earphones! paid 30 pounds for it on ebay as they are not being sold in my country. Really amazing sound quality, works perfectly, long lasting (now lasting already for 0.75 year which is long for me).
I have these
List for Samsung galaxy headset and headphones that work all three buttons & mic
- urbeats
- htc beats solo
- Sony smart headset
- Nocs NS200H-001
Update as I found some more
Try beyer dynamic! Best sound. 10 times beter than beatsaudio.

Headphones
Hey friends,
I read all your replies for this post. It seems like all are telling about headphones without mic.
Unfortunately my original headphone which I got with Nexus S is not working properly.
So please suggest me from where can I get the original samsung headphones or is there any adapter with mic with which I can connect to any other headset. Presently I am staying in UAE.
Thanks in advance.
Cheers,
Vinu

Sennheiser is a litter expensive, but the quality is very good
Add pretty much all the Samsung "audio" Bluetooth headsets.
I found an HM6450 for $29.99 at an office supply store. Sounds fine to my (middle-aged) ears.
It's not a main selling point of the tablet but the sound quality coming out the 3.5mm jack is not up to snuff.
Using the same headphones in my GNex, the sound is much more full and bass thumps a bit more.
push the headphone jack all the way into the socket?
It's been mentioned a few times in other threads already....ram the jack in hardddddddd until you hear a loud click. Then it's fully seated.
If it's not fully seated, it sounds tinny and mono instead of stereo.
The jack is ridiculously tight but it's not low quality....

Is it weird that the way you wrote this excited me? But seriously Op, Kenyee is right. I almost thought it was 2.5mm jack and I would break it if I forced it in. After quickly checking the official specs, I just went for broke and thrust it in there. Works great now!

The sound on mine is great from the 3.5mm jack, perhaps your device has a manufacturing defect if you are pushing it hard all the way into the correct position, I know my jack is pretty tight with most of my headsets except for one that fits perfectly, but that one is a little lose in other jacks.

*shrugs* No offense taken, but....maybe your N7 has a defect. I'd hate to think at 39 yrs old I'm already going deaf But seriously, mine sounds awesome with my earbuds.
I've been using it in my car to play music and IMO it sounds better then my EVO Lte with "Beats" (ooohhh ahh).
Nah its a tegra 3 issue.
Honestly most people wouldn't notice it, but im a little bit of an audiophile, and the sound quality is really lacking. Sounds like listening to a 128kbps mp3 vs a 320..
Same song, same headphones, both streaming from Google music, I would say the nexus is 70% (if that..) as good as my optimus 2x.

Mine sounds great for a tablet. Yes, it is no where my $2000 DAC and amp setup but good enough considering it's price. First thing some of you need is a high quality earphone. Don't use cheap ass iPod ear buds and then complain about the quality of the sound. The speakers on the nexus 7 on the other hand do kind of suck.

sounds fine to me. and if you put your hand behind the external speaker it makes it a littler better lol. but seriously sounds perfectly fine to me. maybe i'm just easily impressed.

I concur....speaker quality isn't that great. I got "volume + "(volume booster) from meltus in the play store and it's soooo much better, by 50%. Very minimal distortion when you increase the volume in the app setting to the recommended number, which is 10 I believe.

As true as your post is, this topic is focused on the quality of the sound coming out of the headphone Jack, not the Nexus 7's speaker

i actually think its pretty good and i think it provides a relatively flat output.
maybe some of you who are complaining have other phones/tablets that EQ up the bass, so you think that the nexus 7 is missing bass? just a thought.
im also a casual audiophile who uses $300-400 headphones (yes i have several, and no they are not beats by dr dre)..

Not offended either. In just had my hearing tested and it is way above average for my age of 41. My N7 sounds great and I'm using some ear buds I picked up at the dollar store. Sounds as good as my iPod Nano 5th Gen.

Get the LG Tone+ HBS-730, search on amazon (I can't post links yet.). I have the first generation of the LG Tone HBS-700 the sound quality is alright if you aren't an audiophile. I've read that the sound quality is better in the 730s. The style of these make them perfect to wear under a collared shirt. I use them everyday and get about 3-5 days worth of listening between charges. The headset even vibrates when you get a call.
I have the Sony MW600. LINK. I love them. The majority of the time I only want to keep one ear bud in, and with these I can do that. You can also use any kind of headphones with them.
I had the Plantronics BB903+'s. I thought their sound quality was really good, and I was all excited to use them with my phone when I go mountain biking. I got so insanely frustrated with the sound cutting out every now and then that I stopped using them. A day later, my dog ate them. Eh, whatever. :good:
As I read around through reviews of other comparable bluetooth headsets I can't help but to question that perhaps audio skipping is somewhat common. As a result, I've personally chosen to stick to traditional headphones. That being said, I'm super curious if anybody has experience with bluetooth headphones that DON'T cut out at all. Eh?
i love my jaybird freedoms. the only thing that is even remotely annoying about them is they charge with a mini usb, other than that, they're light, have great sound and super comfortable. before that i tried a pair of moto ones that were just an all 'round unpleasant experience.
Thanks for suggestions guys, will mull it over :thumbup:

I have both of those units. The trade off is; HBS-700 ok sound, but long BT range (25ft) vs. HBS-730 better sound, but short BT range (10ft).
Sony Ericsson MW600 user here as well. I love that lil sucker. I use my Shure SE215's (clear) and any headsets I can muster like my Sol Republic Amps HD or Sol Republic Ultra's or whatever you have and like. I mean the sound is not like it is when plugged directly in, but sound better than stock nonetheless. :laugh:
I just ordered a pair of Sennheiser MM 100's, will update with how they are once I get them.

I was looking at those but they were a bit out of my price range
I got my MM 100's in today, and I'm impressed. Very clear audio for something this size, as expected from Sennheiser. They feel a bit cheap but I think that's more in the interest of making them light rather than saving money. I don't think they're worth the retail price ($150 ), but I got mine factory refurbished from a seller on amazon for around $40 and they came looking brand new, in refurb packaging of course.
Since I paired these with my phone first I tried call quality, and nobody had any issues understanding me.
EDIT: After some more listening it seems these headphones are lacking in bass... not that there isn't enough volume, but it is literally cutting out frequencies.
I hava nokia bh214 stereo bluetooth ,it's perfect for music & talk
I use the Sony Ericsson MW600, great batterytime, you can use whatever headphones you want and now it's almost for free.
Bought the Sony WS1, little on the expensive side but have alot of functions, same as the MW600 you can use other headphones but the ones that comes with are exellent, SD-slot only drawback is the batterytime...
I use a set of Motorola SF600's and a Plantronics M155 (for single ear A2DP goodness while hiking).
My thoughts on the SF600 are far different than moth peoples, apparently. I love them. I have had zero issues with them, and I am tough on them. They sound PHENOMENAL and the range is incredible. They also support Apt-X, but since the Nexus 7 doesn't, that isn't really a concern. Apt-X is awesome though.
The Plantronics is... OK. It rattles at high volume, and is generally annoying, but its great for the group hikes I go on (for when I am tired of hearing people whine and blabber on ) and it is really good for listening to music in the office.

The reviews that I read about the 730's were that they were a downgrade. Owners of the 700 and the 730 said to not get the 730.
They also said that more than 5' away or loss of line of sight caused the 730s to drop out.

I have a LG HBS-730 ... I think it is the best of the $50 units. I picked mine up off of Amazon. The predecessor to this unit was the HBS-700, check out its ratings on Amazon ... it is very popular. Some people had a few difficulties with the 730 when it was released and this is reflected in some of the reviews. I am not having any problems on the Nexus 10 or my Samsung Galaxy Note 2.

Any idea how it would work with a ski helmet? Does it block sound?
I've used the LG HBS-700 set for about a year. Love them, but had to send it in for repair after 4 months when the battery wouldn't hold a charge. Got them back and it's been good since.

If you buy the the LG's be sure to hit up newegg and check the reviews on the HBS 730...I have both the 700 and the 730, 730 sounds better but has really awful reception compared to the 700. The reviews will confirm this.

I actually have the HBS-700's, not the 730's. I am not a skier, but if regular earbuds fit under a ski helmet, these should too. You would want to keep the part that you wear on your neck under a jacket or something so they don't fly off.

After much research I got a pair of Phaiton noise-cancelling ear buds PS 210 BTNC active noise cancelling ear buds. They're pricey, but actually well worth it.
I might have unusually shaped ears, but ear buds are all too often torture for me. These are so comfortable that I can even fall blissfully asleep listening to music.
The sound quality is wonderful and the noise-cancellation is great on airplanes, in server farms, working w/ power tools, etc. Check it out!

Something like this and you can use whatever headphone/earphone you already have. And if the battery ever runs out on the unit you can plug in your headphone straight into the phone.... Unlike bluetooth only headsets

There are cheaper and more expensive units. Sony, samsung and Habra has something similar. There is a black version for 20. Just look at amazon and look around for a bit. Good thing also is that you can hook a 3.5mm aux cable and connect it to speakers, car stereos, receivers and a lot more. A lot more versatile than bluetooth only headsets but i like a lot of functionality for devices and accessories. But you can pay more and have less options but hey you'll have "cool" bluetooth only headphones if you like.
