I've bought my Samsung Galaxy note 8 two months ago and it came with a pare of AKG earphones. After some time, I realised that the right earphone whit the volume controller is "much" lower than the left one. I took them off and the next day i tried them and they worked just fine. But after one month of using the problem came back but this time its not going any where. Then i bought a new 50$ earphones they also worked fine for a while and then the problem again appeared suddenly from no where. I tried the earphones on my galaxy tab s3 and the problem is still there. I searched on the internet and found that many people with Galaxy s8/s8 plus and note 8 have the same issue. But i didn't find what is the reason of this problem !! Any one knows why?? Or how to fix this ????
Well, here in XDA, note 8 section, it is the first time I see someone having this issue, I have my note 8 since Nov 2017 and the sound is normal, left and right channels
If you search in the internet you can find many people telling the same story. Of course not everyone has that problem but two earphones with the same problem
Have you tried using the same headset with other mobile devices?

Yes as i mentioned i tried them on my galaxy tab s3. But the problem goes no where!!!
Did you have someone else listen?
Maybe you need to have your ears checked?
Also strain/too much pulling on the wires may have created damage..

I dont think the problem in my ears cuz the problem is surprisingly much more common than u might think especially with s8/s8+ phones
Many people think the problem in AKG earphones as many reddit users replied to my post on s8 community

Many other phones allow you to route the phone earpiece sound to your earphones if they are plugged, while permitting continued use of the the phone mic to speak during a call.
Meaning you could have you favourite music listening earphones plugged in, listen to your music and take calls without having to unplug your earphones.
With the i9000 doesn't do this, which is irritating.
I want to use higher quality earphones, not the stock headset or a stereo bluetooth headset.
Would any one in xda know a work around for this?
Would it be a hardware, software or firmware issue?
(my guess is firmware)
Thanks,

did you bother to search.. this has been discussed numerious times first by me over 6 months ago.

The only ones i've seen are the ones by marcelo reis and glemery- which about the Samsung fascinate-.
I've also since reviewed your posts and haven't found much concrete information, only suppositions. People are saying that it -might be- the fact that it's a four pin connector.
I'm wondering if it has anything to do with firmware or drivers, if the question hasn't been answered yet.
I'm not especially interested in buying a nokia adapter.
Was there a definitive answer to this question?
I've found this post by marcelo- dated Oct 12th, which leads me to believe it's software issue.

Mr lgkhan, thanks for your non-help and your non-existent 6 month old discussion.

As mentioned numerous times in numerous posts the pinouts are different, two wires are swapped. If you don't want to use a Nokia adapter for your non stock headphones you can always cut your wire and try to re-wire yourself...

I think OP is talking about using a regular earphone - which means left and right only channels. It has nothing to do with the wiring of earphones with 3 lines (L,R,mic)

Thank you. Yes, you are correct.
If Mercelo Reis's post is correct, it would indicate that the problem is not hardware, OS or firmware related. It would be app related, given he has that functionality on the skype app, but not the phone app.
The reason I want this is because I want to use audiophile earphones to listen to music and be able to take calls without having to alter the arrangement. As it stands now, I'm forced to unplug my earphones from the phone to take the call.
I can't get high level audio quality from a headSET or bluetooth. I don't want to be encumbered by a potentially unnecessary adapter.
My friend has a HTC desire that can do this. My brother who has a Nexus with froyo, can't. So, hoping for a fix this way with the new froyo for the SGS seems slim..
Hi, I ask excuses if the matter has already been treated!
Are The headset for Galaxy S2 and known Galaxy compatible?
I wanted to buy these:
http://www.eastmaze.com/3.5mm-Handsfree-Headset-for-Samsung-Cell-Phone-White--p2964.html
but the seller has said that they are not compatible for the Note.
Are they compatible for many Samsungs among which S2 and others but for the Note no???
A little informed seller?
Thanks

They both use the exact same standard 3.5mm TRS headset connector. Of course it'll work.
The site doesn't say that it's "not compatible", it just doesn't list the note explicitly.

I have the Note from a few days and I come from a HTC.
Do not know the compatibility of headsets.Then should all be compatible, at least the Samsung ... is that correct?
Thank you for the information.
I have a set of iPhone specific Sennheiser MM 70i
I purchased them for my Galaxy S i9000 and had to use a crossover adapter for it to work, today I plugged it in to my Note and found the sound was near perfect without the adapter. Not only that, but the button works properly now (didn't on the i9000) and so I can pause, answer, next track. The volume buttons still do nothing but thats life.
The microphone isn't the loudest in picking up sound, but it works just fine.
So I am wondering, does this mean that Samsung changed the wiring so it works with the iPhone head sets?
I know a lot of people share the same issue as me and i don't think it has ever been fixed or they have any desire to fix it. When i'm using my headset my mic suddenly goes mute i have to either unplug it and re plug it in. Or turn on and off the speaker but its a hassle. This is the same issue i had with my zte axon 7 which was frustrating. I'm extremely disappointed because its a great phone. Not sure if anyone has a solution to this or is having the same issue. I returned my pixel xl for this phone and its great but as person who is constantly using the headset its such a pain to deal with it.

If you were having the same problem on your other device then maybe it's your headset?
Lmao, it's your headphones.. I'm dying. Lol
"If everywhere you go smells like crap, maybe it's time to smell your own shoes" applies very well here xD Probably your headphones yeah...
No I have tried multiple headsets and if you read on the one plus forums and look it up it's actually a problem a lot of people have. I wish it was my headphones but it's not tried several pairs new and old. Only have this issue on this phone they work perfect on my iPhone pixel and nexus 6p.
Hi guys,
Quick question, do any of you own a pair of the AirPods Pro and use them with your Pixel 4 XL? I cant seem to get the microphone working. Everything else works as advertised. (Play/Pause/Noise cancellation/etc)
Thanks in advance,
Sam
And if this isn't the proper forum to ask? Maybe Reddit?
Maybe no one can answer your question cause nobody else uses Apple AirPods with a Google Pixel. I'm waiting for Google Pixel Buds 2 to be released.

I wouldn't have possibly guessed that would have been the first response I got. Thanks so much for your helpful insight! :good: I'm waiting with bated breath to hear about your experience with the Google Pixel Buds 2.
Back to the subject at hand though.
No, I can't imagine many people use that combination, but if you are unhappy with them and want noise cancellation buds, you are better off with the Sony WF1000XM3's
I do. Except for autopaus when removing them from my ears they work great.

So you're using the new AirPods Pro with a Pixel 4 XL and can confirm the microphone(s) works with calls?
I don't have the new Pros but I do have AirPods 2 and they work fine in terms of the mic.
I know it's not too much help since it's not the same AirPods model but I thought I'd share anyway for you to hopefully get to the bottom of your issue!

Alright great, thank you. I initially set up the Airpods Pro with my Macbook. It gave an option of have the microphone auto switch between both buds. I think I'll try setting it to right or left always, and see if that works.
I'll report my findings.
I have the AirPods Pro and used them successfully with the Pixel 4 XL. My first pairing attempt was not good for some reason. I was getting a lot of feedback. Second time around it worked without issues. I handled several calls with them, also without issues. I would say if you're having problems you want to first try to forget and re-pair. If that does not work you should get the AirPods Pro checked when paired with an iPhone and see if the same issue persists. Last resort is you can always get them replaced at an Apple store and see if the new pair behaves better.

I had this happen on occasion with my AirPod Gen 1's. I did try forgetting/re-pairing my AirPod Pros 3x. The microphone just started working randomly with my Pixel 4XL a few days into owning them. I accidentally answered a call with them on out of habit and they worked. :shrug:
If you have a friend with an iPhone or iPad pair them and let them sit charging for 30 minutes so that they update to the latest firmware. Mine were a bit glitchy at launch. After the latest firmware they're great, and I switch the airpods pros out during a call and the mic pics up whichever one was in my ear.
Pixel 4 here and great after the update.

Slightly OT but I'm wondering how the AirPod Pros are in general? Thinking of purchasing.
Do the rubber tips give you that "sealed ear" feeling? Because I try to avoid that.
Also, with my AirPods 2, I notice I can't get max volume unless I disconnect them, enable absolute volume, reconnect and then disable absolute volume. Is this the same with Pros?
I'd love to hear your two cents!

I successfully upgraded my AirPods Pro firmware last night. I connected them to a power source and left the case open and sitting next to my iPad for about ten minutes before noticing it upgraded. I had no trouble using them on my way to work today. I'll use them on some calls during the day and report back my findings. Thanks for showing me this.

Coming from the first generation AirPods, I prefer the AirPods Pro. I do miss being able to tap to pause. However, I quickly got used to the new squeeze feature.
The AirPods Pro are in ear so they do form a "seal". That being said they have a noise cancellation and a transparency mode. You may prefer transparency mode since it lets you hear whats going on around you. I use this when I order coffee/food in public for example. It's quite nice.
As far as the max volume issue goes. I also experienced that on occasion with my first generation AirPods, but have not yet experienced it on the Pros.
Hope this helps.

I already setup a return for my Razer Hammerhead True Wireless earbuds. The case lid is super flimsy and overall everything feels like cheap plastic.
Not a fan of iPhones but gotta give credit to Apple for their computers and AirPods. They did a fantastic job with those!
Hello,
I am facing a problem with my buds pro, whenever Ambient mode or ANC is activated there is a weird hissing /static noise on my left earbud. I updated to the lastet firmware and reset the buds but still the same issue.
Does anyone have the same problem?
Sorry. Mine don't do that. Since you already reset the buds, not sure what else you could try.
My right bud pro has this issue.
I reread your Q and checked out this new Buds product.
Could be hardware or firmware. Took Samsung 1.5 years to finally get the SSC algorithm/ firmware right with Buds+ so don't hold your breath.
I'm still comparing the two but if audio quality is the same I go with the Buds+.
ANC is lot harder to implement and can degrade the sound quality.
These are sealed so background noise usually isn't a deal breaker.
So far I'm still leaning towards the Buds+
I want a definite HQ audio upgrade more than ANC.
Goofy Samsung... is good at dropping the ball.
Just to update you guys, after endless calls with samsung support France ( where I live). I ended up returning the unit and getting a new one, the new ones don't have any issue right out of the box.
The store told me that it was not uncommon so I guesss it's a hardware problem.
Thank you all for your replies!

Yay!
Samsung Tech Support sucks, trying to use it is believing. They won't cross ship either; they need the return before they send out the new ones.
Did you get lucky? If so it's a sure sign of a known defect. Either way, well done
Remember to update their firmware if updates are available...
Do you have the Buds+?
Have far does the bass extend on the Pro's?
Cutoff for the Buds+ is 27hz, at 35hz it's strong.
Cutoff for the Buds is 30hz; low bass is noticeably weaker and more distorted than the +'s.
Anyone who has a pair of the Buds+ and the Buds Pro please post your opinion of your listening experience between the two.

If it happened after a firmware flash it is either a bad flash or bad firmware.
The former is more likely if only a few are doing it. There's no way to recover from a bad flash that I'm aware off short of sending them in for repair. The next update may undo a bad flash if it's a complete copy of the firmware. Not sure.
Be very careful when doing a Buds firmware flash. I've done over a half a dozen with no issue but it only takes one bad flash.
I faced the same issue with my buds pro, the static noise seemed to be annoying.. But suddenly it started working fine, I still didn't figure out what the problem was.. Hoping it doesn't happen again..
Are these Galaxy buds Pro really very good?
I have been trying to search everywhere after this site put them at their most recommended number one in a specific price range https://buy.guru/best-wireless-earphones-for-15000/
any user opinions would be helpful ,especially if compared to Apple Airpods as it would help me ascertain if i should buy them or not.

You have a Samsung device? If so it's a no brainer to go with one of the Buds.
Because all the Buds use the Samsung proprietary codec SSC they should blow Airpods away on a Samsung I would think.
The Buds are designed for Samsung and interface seamlessly.
The Buds+ never fall out, which is what I use.
I'm hesitant to go to the Pro's because of possible fit issues and the +'s have a very long battery life.
For music listening Poweramp's equalizer dials them in well. If you have an extensive music database Poweramp is well worth it. Requires a lot of setup but is completely able to be backed up 100% as long as the music database is intact.
Yes i have a Samsung S20 and a Apple XS Max too.
So need to use the earphones with both the devices. Have been trying to get a demo from someone who owns them, but all attempts thusfar have been futile.

If you use the Samsung a lot get the Buds+ if you want a sealed bud. The Buds+ support all the lame codecs that Apple has got but the interface will almost certainly suffer.
The Buds are integrated for Samsung's; if there's no Wearables Manager for Apples there will be loss of functionality when using on with Apple.
May work ok for basic calls, no clue though.
Sorry, I'm not an Apple guy... strictly PC and Android.

I've been looking everywhere, but because this site ranked them as the most helpful user review in a particular price range and compared them to Apple Airpods, any user reviews would be extremely helpful in deciding whether or not I should purchase them.

I never tried the Pro. I like the sealed, compact Buds+. They don't fall out. 11 hour run time.
Airpods don't support LDAC or SSC codecs so you're stuck with SBC. They're bulky and look goofy. A poor choice for a Samsung phone.
Is there a way to connect fake Samsung buds pro? I know that if they are not original, it does not work with the app, but is there any way to hack the app or do something with the headphones? Perhaps by modifying the headphones they become compatible, either by software or hardware. I ask if it is possible.
