These were made to be bundled with phones, don’t expect much
These are perfectly fine as far as earbuds included with phones go. When i bought my note 8 these were included and were labeled as in ear monitors. (I’m assuming that made it more premium sounding) I liked the in line remote with volume control, the sound was about on par with apple earpods.The cable is made from a fabric which feels nice, when they’re in your ear and anything grazes the cable, you’ll hear it. Its annoying but tolerable. (My sisters kitten loved the cable enough to chew it in half though)I replaced these with KZ zstx’s for around the same price and would recommend them solely for the replaceable cable, the fact that they sound nicer is a plus (:

Perfect Inexpensive Headphones
These headphones are exactly what I wanted. They are inexpensive and actually have a very good sound to them. If you are looking for a reasonably priced pair of headphones, I would recommend purchasing them.

Not great
A pair of these came with my Galaxy phone, I fell in love with them. I lost that pair and so I bought these. I don’t like them at all. The material looks the same but its not as originally made. The fabric is stiff. The ear bud itself the piece that fits into the ear is a fat bubble type of shape that doesn’t fit well in my ear. It used to fit just fine with my last pair. I think OEM went a little bit cheaper with their materials a year later. Not the same quality as the originals. The volume adjuster on the wire itself is stiff, hard to push and there is no separation that is evident on it. I used to be able to touch it and not even look at it and discern the plus volume from the pause and the low volume buttons. This volume rocker is just one continual bar with no separation that can be felt without looking at it. I wouldn’t recommend. I don’t know if I just got an off pair or if generic. I hate to speak poorly of this brand, cause it WAS good when sent with my phone. But no more. I used to be able to use these headphones during phone calls. Now the person on the other end says they cant hear me, they only hear a lot of noise and feedback. I want to buy another pair but I fear I will get the same quality. I ended up keeping them cause it was urgent and some of the issues weren’t immediately realized.

This is a real S8 headphone
This is the genuine item it seems, not fake. These are pretty good wired earbuds 3.5mm.

Good for a time
I was a little disappointed with the headphones that lasted overall 6 months, the material that covers the wire started shifting causing the rubber to bulge and protrude. And it was also fraying. My mom wanted one, which I got for her and she doesn’t use hers as often so that one is still doing OK.

AGK are great headphones
First let me say these headphones are awesome I’ve washed my headphones in the washer at least 4 times now on accident and they still work just fine only thing is the mic dont work anymore but I dont use headphones to talk on the phone anyway. but they still work just as good as they did when I bought my galaxy s8+ now I’m not saying it’s safe to wash them with your work clothes but if you were to forget them in shirt pockets then dont be afraid ALSO TO MENTION I PUT THEM IN THE DRYER AS WELL STILL PERFECT now I’m hoping the ones I just ordered are not replicas because they will be going back but from reading the comments they seem legit I’ll update this when I receive mine. I’m buying a second pair so I can leave a set I’m my work truck in case i forget one at home in the washer lol

Not original headphones. Seem to be a lower quality knockoff or copy. Sound quality is not good, plastic is lower quality, overall definitely not OEM.

I love these. I’ve bought about 4 pair, but only because I keep having to share or I’ve lost a pair and wanted a back up pair. I’m probably going to buy two more, at least.

Buyer beware: Knockoff “OEM Stereo headphones”
I had high hopes for this product. After my original set that came with my Note 8 went through the washing machine I was looking for a suitable replacement. The original sound fantastic and had a great mic quality.As soon as I put them on I could tell something was wrong. They definitely did not fit as comfortably as my originals. The braided cord definitely seemed more rigid, and the sound didn’t have the high and low ends I remember.Third test was call Quality. I kept having people asking me “what? Can you repeat yourself? Your really quiet.”Upon closer examination with a new OEM pair that I bought from a cell phone retailer you can definitely see some of the differences.The only reason I’m giving this two stars is because they did work in a pinch but I will be throwing them away after this review.All of my attached photos the pair on the bottom are the knockoffs and the pair of the top of the originals.Inspection of the body alone you can see the knockoffs have a purple tint to the EKG emblem plate.The center button on the controller is noticeably smaller.And the microphone port is noticeably smaller reducing call clarity.The cord was also thicker and much more rigid. Not to mention the fit was terribleSave yourself the trouble and buy them direct until a legit source on Amazon can be found!

The way they fit, and sound
The most important features, for me, were the fit of the phones, and the sound. It has been the case with other products of this type, that they pop out of my ears while I’m going for a walk, and it has been necessary to struggle to get the right placement. With this product, getting the right placement was effortless. The sound was good, and the noise cancellation was fair.

These are not as pictured, not the OEM version, and broken besides.
I’ve bought several of these over the years, from Amazon, with the reorder button. As I compared to the set I was replacing, I noticed they looked different, no bevel on the AKG cap on the end of the earbud, so not the same item. I thought I misordered, but I checked the photo on the product, and it matches my existing headset.I’d be worried about their durability, because I don’t have experience with this version – the reason I kept buying them is that they were so consistent – , but left side only works at half volume, sounds kind of muffled/tinny…so no need to worry about durability, lol.I won’t return them, because they’re fairly cheap, but they’re not usable. Buyer beware.

It does what it’s supposed to do for an economical price. Good deal and great performance. It has normal wear and tear so you get great bang for your buck.

EXCELENTE SONIDO AL CONFIGURAR ADAPT SOUND, DOLBY ATMOS , OPTIMIZADOR UHQ,…
Hace un tiempo se rompió el conector (3.5) del audífono AKG que vino con mi Samsung Galaxy S9 plus, por lo que comencé a utilizar otros que poseo, aunque extrañaba el sonido de ese. Hace unos días investigaba la posibilidad de repararlo, y al buscar la pieza dañada se me ocurrió verificar si ese audífono estaba en venta y su precio. Lo encontré a muy buen precio, pero al leer los reviews, tuve dudas pues algunos comentaban que no sonaban como aquellos que traía el S9 plus de caja.Motivado por adquirir uno que me permitiera manejar algunas opciones del celular, que solo pueden ser manejadas con ese audífono, como Dolby Atmos, decidí adquirirlo.A pesar de que es un artículo barato, me emocionó comprarlo, pensando en los gratos momentos de escucha de música que tendría al recibir estos. QUE DECEPCION! Cuando los recibí y probé, me dí cuenta que el sonido ni por asomo, se parecía al original que vino con el celular. Tras un buen rato comparando la calidad del sonido (Mala)de este, recordé las opciones del S9+ para personalizar el sonido, allí fuí (Mas adelante copio los pasos) y mi alegría volvió! FUE MAGICO!! Siento que sobrepasó por mucho el sonido del original, han vuelto a la vida y con MUCHA VIDA, todas mis canciones favoritas. La Cancelación de Ruido pasiva es muy buena, incluido voces, cuando mi esposa me habla, tiene que hacerlo de muy cerca para escucharla, aunque sin distinguir mucho lo que me dice, por lo que debo quitármelos. No es que escuche muy alto la música, pero algo pasa al hacer las configuraciones que menciono.Considerando que luce físicamente igual al que recibí con el celular, la nota incluida en la fundita plástica (Poca delicadeza de empaque)indicando que es 100% original; la buena calidad de sonido obtenida, LO RECOMIENDO.Para los que no conozcan la configuración de los sonidos aquí les indico:AJUSTES+SONIDO Y VIBRACION+EFECTOS Y CALIDAD DEL SONIDO+ ADAPT SOUND (Seguir las instrucciones luego de ubicarse en un lugar silencioso). En este mismo menú tiene otras opciones que puede activar y que enriquecieron aún mas el sonido:DOLBY ATMOS, OPTIMIZADOR UHQ y diferentes opciones de ecualización.

100% comparable with original headphones
I had a pair of these headphones, I think from an old phone or something, I’m not 100% sure, that lasted me like a year and a half before one of the earbuds died. Very tragic, I was on the bus home and it sucked lol. Bought these despite the negative reviews, and honestly??? I have no idea what the negative commenters were talking about. These work exactly the same as my old pair. Sound quality is the same, they fit the same in my ears. I’ve only had them for a month or two so I can’t guarantee how durable they’ll be in the long run but they work just fine. I use them literally a mininum of five days a week getting to and from work.

Not bad
I ordered 2 of the same headphones. The sound quality is good. Durability is decent. . lasts a good 6 months assuming i don’t misplace them anywhere. The packaging was different for some reason even though it was the same products, one came in a little box, the other just a plastic wrapping.

Best affordable ear plug ins
Best affordable ear plug ins. Crystal clear on calls and sound. The cord is durable for when u fold/bunch up the cord for storage, and doesn’t wear on the cord and effect it possibly it being statically later on like some ear plugs that’s made out of plastic cord. Love it!

Only downside is the wire, but better sound than any other cheap headsets I’ve tried. Used for calls.

Cord connecting to plug in isn’t good quality
I really loved these headphones when i got them with my phone. These I guess are just poor quality. Any time I move it gets staticy and volume levels go up and down. I tried adjusting and rotating where you plug into phone and the connection in the wiring is not so great, Kind of disappointed because I needed these for a up coming trip.

Junk
Received two. Neither headset worked. The sound listening quality was muffled and distorted. While placing a phone call, the speaker mic was not clear for the other party listening and I was constantly asked “what’s wrong with the phone, they couldn’t hear me”. One of the ear phones did not work on one headset, and the second headset the control on the wire for volume – pause/play did not work. I would not recommend or repurchase.

Sounds good, but…
I’m not quite convinced these are the original headphones that come with the Galaxy phones. This one feels different than the pair I had. Unfortunately, the ones I got with my phone crapped out on me so I had to get new ones. The sound quality of those is the same as the ones being sold here. So, on that part, i was happy. That’s what i was mainly looking for.When it comes to the product itself, it feels cheaper than the original ones. One of the pieces on the mic keeps coming apart, even the gentlest force makes them fall apart, exposing the wires. Very irritating that i have to keep putting them back together since it’s hard to make the wires stay in place. And it started happening on the first day of me using these.Good sound quality. Cheaply made, I wouldn’t repurchase these.

Nowhere near the original
I bought these to replace my aging AKG earbuds that came with my Galaxy S9+ from several years ago as they’ve been some of the best audio mediums I’ve found by far. Immediately after opening I assumed they were counterfeits just by the cheaper feel, so I was surprised to see they weren’t after double checking the vendor. Sound quality is drastically worse, very muffled, and terrible range in contrast. Avoid this if you’re expecting the same product that shipped with the phone.

Not the same as the originals
The headphones that came with my Samsung Galaxy S8 and S10 phones still work and I still have them so I was able to use them for comparison purposes. I wanted another pair exactly the same. These are not the same.. They are uncomfortable in my ears, came with no extra tips, and are very tinny in comparison to the originals.

Broken within a week
I’ve bought several pairs of AKG brand earbuds throughout the years, each pair usually lasting over six months. My long-lasting pair previously stopped working, so I’ve had to buy this new pair recently. These new earbuds arrived with limp wires and a cheaper feel and the right side stopped working within a week.I bought ANOTHER pair just in case the previous pair was a fluke but the same thing happened. Part of the earbud casing fell off and the wires detached themselves even though I’ve only had them for a week. Several parts of the wires arrived looking crimped and creased and bent. I got them on sale so it isn’t worth sending back since they were so cheap. I have loved my previous pairs of AKG earbuds so these two pairs that I purchased through Amazon were very disappointing.

Best Quality AKG online
I bought the same pair of AKG a few weeks ago from another seller on Walmart, I like the sound quality. It’s much better than the JBudsPro from JLab. I used that AKG to listen to classical music and I enjoyed it very much. So I decided to buy another set of AKG and bought from this seller. Got the earbuds today and OMG, the sound quality is even better than my previous AKG. The sound of the violin is so vivid as if I’m just right beside it. The only explanation is that this pair is 100% original and my previous pair, although good enough, is not original. I would recommend this seller.

great earphones
These earphones are excellent, the best I have ever used. The construction is robust, and it handles a range of sound wonderfully.After I received the first set that I bought, I went right back and bought a few more, just to have on hand, for whenever the first set gives out. Though I expect that these earphones will last longer than the typical earphones that I had previously been buying.I strongly endorse this product, and recommend that anyone buy it. (I gave it only three stars in the “noise cancellation” category because that is not what this product is designed to do, nor what the seller claims that it does. Nevertheless, it performs adequately in that respect.)

Comfort and convenience
The sound is very well to me. It’s high pitched as if it’s nothing but tweets playing in my ear. It doesn’t blast my ear drums out but has a kind of warm sound to it. With the things I listen to, I don’t have to max the volume; it gets loud enough for me halfway. I try to maintain the integrity of the cord so that it doesn’t short out but it has been through some rigor and is still holding strong. The buttons respond well. So overall, I am pleased with this.

Without the piece the earbud starts to come off the wire. These are normally good products, so don’t know if I got a dud or a return. Won’t be buying from this seller again.

OEM Samsung Quality
The same ones I had when I first got my s9. Outstanding quality, as my originals lasted 2 years, and several washer and dryer incidents. Hope these live up to that. Comes with different earcup sizes to fit your ears. Love the decent noise cancelation and the volume control and pause work flawlessly. Definitely recommend to those of us who still have a headphone jack in our phones.

Good quality earbud headphones
Had this headphones for couple months now, and it’s very good quality. Easy to use and I use it whenever I am outside doing my daily walk. The sound quality is good, and the fit of the ear buds are snug. Purchased this as my original ear buds failed on one side, this is a good replacement.
