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!

I also have the AirPods 1, which I tested and their microphone works fine. So I'm trying to narrow down to the AirPods Pro, then go from there. Thanks though :good:

Correct. I have only used the right one when making calls though.

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!

I just received my note 2 a couple of days ago. Loving it! - with a couple of small caveats:
1) Why must the stock email client suck so much? With such a great and big phone one of the main advantages for me would be to be able to email efficiently. But, first thing, you can't change the background color from black. Second, no search functionality. Third, the interface isn't beautiful. All of it: Just bad. (I come from iOS so I'm used to a very well-functioning email app). Some of the other email clients at google play seem marginally better, but none are perfect. Hope for updates and an imroved client from Samsung.
2) Then to my actual question in this thread. The earbuds/earphones that came with the phone sound great. But, they are in-ear. I know that most people prefer in-ear phones, but for me, not so much. It makes me feel shut off from the world, and if I'm listening to music on my bike for example I'm afraid I won't hear important sounds from the traffic, stuff like that. So I'd like to find some alternative earphones that are not in-ear. I tried the apple earphones from my old iPhone, and they work fine for listening to music and talking, but I can't control volume or move between songs and radio stations etc with them.
So I wonder: anybody know of earphones that work with the galaxy note 2 that are not in-ear, where the controls work and that have good sound?
headphone controls
For headphone controls, i am not sure because of the diversity of android phones that you ll find a compatible model which is a shame,
you can use this free software workaround solution : JAYS Headset Control in the playstore.
Regarding in-ear headphones and motorbiking: I did just that not too long ago and broke a time record unknowingly between two cities. It's cool what shutting off the outside world can do for your courage and concentration

Might be OT but both yes and no. You might take more risks but you also don't hesitate as much which makes it safer. Hesitating while driving/riding is really dangerous too! So its a double edged sword lol...
On topic, picking one of these bad boys up tomorrow. Hope the bundled earphones are decent enough to continue my stupidity on and off the road
Sony's Smart headset MH-1c has both volume controls as well as a call recieve button which works with Samsung Galaxy SIII and Note II.
While they are technically in ear, I would recommend using the LG Tone+ Bluetooth Headset - the model number is HBS-730. It has APT-X codec, which is for the most part indistinguishable from wired headphones, plus they have insane 12+ hour life. To get around being aware of sound around you like at work, I just wear one earbud in and the other one magnetically clips to the headset, which is super handy. I typically use them 10-14 hours a day and am a headset fanatic. They have volume control, play/pause, and track forward and back. Plus they have good sound quality for the money even though they are bluetooth.

Hi, I had the same problem and eventually have taken matters into my own hands by making my own using the 3 button remote bundled with the phone and some Klipsch S4i's I had left over from the iPhone days. The results were so good I have bought some more S4's to customise and have listed them on eBay for sale. Finally a solution to this problem. When are the manufacturers going to realise there are millions of Samsung devices out there and start making some decent earphones for us!!

Try Skull Candy.

i only use it for music.
Play button once to play/pause, double tap to next track & three to previous!
hope this helps!

Another alternative is try out the app Around Sound from the play store. It monitors external noise from the microphone and pauses your music to play that sounds to you.
I posted this in another thread, but the best retail option might be the new Samsung headphones that start coming out with the S4 - the HS330. Supposed to be better than the S3/Note 2 headphones and obviously volume and pause/answer buttons work.

Which truly wireless earbuds are you using with the Note 8 and you would recommend? Looking to buy one.
Been eyeing the Beoplay E8. I am more concerned about audio fidelity (for a bluetooth device) over any other factors.

The Beoplay E8 and Apple Airpods seem to be the best for the Note 8.

My concern is that he is testing all these using an iPhone. With the Note 8, even the codec being used changes. That is why I am looking for actual people using the Note 8 with wireless buds.

I've been using Beoplay E8's with Note 8 for the past 3 weeks and I've gotta say, I'm amazed! Audio quality is good, connection strong, and no issues so far. App lets you adjust audio and build is outstanding.
I've been using Gear Gear Iconx (2016) would love to upgrade to the 2017 model for better battery life.
I got the 2018 icon X. They can be paired with a device or even used without one. They sound good and have good touch controls.
I had the Icon X 2018, got them from B&H for $150, they were great at the beginning, but some annoynaces were like this:
1. No way to Power Off the buds without putting them back in the case, this means lots of charging/discharging the whole time.
2. Touch controls became finicky after about 2 weeks.
3. Totally subjective I know, but they hurt my ears, tried all combinations.
Back to Jaybird RUN, with latest FW Update the BT connection is rock solid, Volume is much higher than the IconX 2018, and the sound fidelity through the Jaybird App EQ settings is Superb to say the least, and I'm a musician so I know quality sound vs ... you know!
I just picked up the Blueant Pump Air.
Not bad at all and super light (4 grams)
http://www.myblueant.com/products/headphones/pumpair/
I have finally decided to pick up the E8. Once the Note 8 gets Oreo (which should be soon), i guess the lack of aptx will not matter much.
How is the audio delay when watching youtube videos with the latest firmware?
On a side note, there is Ashley Chloe's Fuse coming out soon. They have aptx and usb c charging! Would have considered them if they were to be available by mid february.
I have the Jabra elite sport and I really like them

1. They power off on their own when disconnected from blue tooth.
2. I've had them since Christmas and use them everyday. Touch controls work as good as they did when I got them. Not sure what exactly would make them "finicky" after working fine.
3. They literally have four different size pads. If you can't find a fit, then you got wonky ears lol.
Seems you quickly wrote off the IconX because you all ready had your mind made up. Which is fine, but let's be honest. The jaybird RUN is an icon X knockoff. And what's funny is I read more issues about the jaybird sounding bad and not fitting right. They even have the same pod case setup that Samsung uses. And surprise, surprise, they are just $15 less msrp than the icon X. You can tell they are trying to be the icon X. I'll just stick to the original that happens to also work seamlessly with my device. I'm also not sure what being a musician has to do with hearing sound quality, but hey, as long as you feel good about it...
I was looking at the B&O but ended up ordering the crazybaby nano off indiegogo mainly due to BT5 and future proofed.
These are shipping this month and the order is locked so have no doubt to question this date (as I am with other campaigns).
NONE OF THEM SOUND GOOD
you'd be disappointed.

Hey, do you have issues? or really really long free and boredom time at your hands?
You criticised and analyzed every bit of word that I wrote, as if you are the master of the world, and you know everything and that you are God of technology. Grow the f up dude, I was just sharing my experience peacefully, and everyone is entitled to their own opinion.
I loved the IconX but preferred the Jaybird RUN at the end, end of story!
Let's not forget that the Truely wireless "thing" is still a new "thing" they will mature with time and provide better options than what we have now.
I have gone through a bunch of them - at the holiday -, and it was like you cannot just get all the PROS from all of them into 1 set, each had their pros and cons, like anything else.
I was expecting the Bose to be the top, but with their open-ended design, the sound was very shallow and thin, maybe it was made like this by design to provide ambiance awareness or sth., Elite Sport was great too.

Could someone suggest one that won't cost me a kidney? Already sold my right kidney for Note 8. Jk but foreal nothing over $100? Now I could just search top ten earbuds for under $100. But I rather hear from someone who has the same phone as me. I've seen different results with headphones from 1 phone to a totally different phone.

Good wirefree headphones will be hard to find sub $100 since the tech is still new :/

I wanted to share my experience using Apple's airpod's with Android, specifically the Oneplus 5T. Its been a little over 2 weeks and I have to say, they are the best.
When you purchase the airpods, it usually works best with other apple products such as an iPhone, ipad, macbook, etc.
When you use the airpods with android devices, they still work but you usually dont get all the cool features such as in detection, music stops when you pull them out, fast pairing when you just open up the case and it displays the battery level. I also have an ipad so I did test these features and everything works beautifully.
Here's my experience on 5T:
- I am on Oxygen OS Beat 11. Because of the features such as audio stops when disconnect from bluetooth and resumes when it reconnects which is not found on the stable version of the rom, it works well with the airpods.
- once the airpods are paired with my 5T, I installed https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=friedrich.georg.airbattery This allows you to see the battery level when you connect and disconnect from the airpods.
-I also connected the airpods to my ipad so I could configure the double tap gestures. I made the right to skip the next song, the and left to pause/play.
-There is also another app that can allow you to do (2) double taps to open google assistant.
-When connecting to the 5T (after being paired) it is pretty fast. Its not like 1 sec with idevice fast but almost around there. Its no where near the 5-7 it takes when I connect to other bluetooth devices.
- Sound quality is good as long as you airpods fit your ears and do not fall out. There are accessories you can buy to help they stay in place such as wingtips but again, if you the fit is uncomfortable, then you may have to look elsewhere.
I've used other wireless headsets such as jaybirds x3 and beats x, but those still have the wires which bothered me still and outside there was static and disconnects.
I also tried other true wireless earphones but they are so bulky. Airpods looked funny at first and prob still do, but I see so many ppl wearing them these days that it looks normal now. They are so small and convenient, charges in the case where it can last you the whole week depending on your usage. Since I am still trying these out and do have my eye on the Ticpods and Iconx, I will report back on my experience but so far, I really like the airpods.

That's great! It's awesome to see cross-ecosystem linkups
Just a couple things:
- Stable OxygenOS 5.1.4 has the audio features that you're talking about from Beta 11
- Almost all BT devices connect to the Oneplus 5T in less than 2 seconds in my experience. I have a couple of BT speakers and headsets, connection has always been nearly instantaneous. Maybe the delay that you're talking about is only in the Beta channel.
Thanks a lot. I have been wondering how well the Airpods work with Android devices. Those headphones are praised so much that they must be brilliant!
As the rumors suggest, we will see V2 in the near future with noise cancelation and waterproof.
Would def. be a reason for me to pick one up!

Excellent
The only reason why i bought the AirPods is for phone calls .. i'm from Egypt and our streets is very very noisy . i tried many bluetooth headsets but with all of them
the person i'm talking to was not hearing me and hearing all the noise around me ,
i tried my friend's AirPods for 4 mins phone call with my fiancee and it was an instant buy for me ....
man i can her clearly and i didn't tell her i'm using AirPods she just couldn'd notice any deffrence , she thought i was using the phone despite all the noise around me .
bought mine next day and using it with my OP3T
i still don't like the color and the shape of the AirPods i prefer the InEar silicon ear tips .
Is anyone using Galaxy Buds with their P30 pro? I've just switched from the Galaxy S10+ and I've found that when I use the galaxy buds with the P30 pro I'm getting really poor call quality on the receiver's end. Sounds fine for me, but people on the other end say they have trouble hearing me and that I sound like I'm underwater. When I switch back to the S10+ then my calls sound normal again. Anyone else experiencing this issue, or have any suggestions?
I think the issue is the buds itself i read about that issue with other phones as well. There supposed to some updates from Samsung to improve the quality. I have one myself I don't mind the audio for listening it's pretty decent however the call quality is crap a lot of feed back. I don't really care to be honest since i only use it mostly for music. I really like it for the comfort and case size it's nice and small compared to others. Could there be improvements for sure. But you'll probably need to pay a higher price if you want something better overall. But even with the expensive ones that I've seen the casing way to big for me. To be honest i'm eyeing on the Google buds waiting for those one to be available like to see how good they are.

Is anyone using Galaxy Buds with their P30 pro? I've just switched from the Galaxy S10+ and I've found that when I use the galaxy buds with the P30 pro I'm getting really poor call quality on the receiver's end. Sounds fine for me, but people on the other end say they have trouble hearing me and that I sound like I'm underwater. When I switch back to the S10+ then my calls sound normal again. Anyone else experiencing this issue, or have any suggestions?

Been using buds with mine for months now, absolutely no issues! I use it mainly for phone calls and never heard anyone complain even outdoors.

I think the issue is the buds itself i read about that issue with other phones as well. There supposed to some updates from Samsung to improve the quality. I have one myself I don't mind the audio for listening it's pretty decent however the call quality is crap a lot of feed back. I don't really care to be honest since i only use it mostly for music.

That's the strange thing though, they sound fine when I pair them with the S10+, it's only when I pair them with the P30 pro that the call quality sucks, which doesn't really make sense to me. I'll try them out with a couple more devices to see whether it's the buds themselves that don't play well with non-Samsung devices or whether it's the P30 pro that doesn't like them.

I'm just going though the thread myself looks like everyone is complaining a lot about similar issues and other issues.

if you want to google that
I have had same problem on my p30 pro and friends one plus 7 pro. I sold them cuz there is obviously some problem when using them with non sams phone. Thats my conclusion
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.

My buds pro is the same problem, a static noise on left side after update... I bought in Brazil. Did someone already solve it?

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.
Cheers!

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.
How wonderful are these Galaxy buds Pro?
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.
