Free headphones can be ordered now (Update: Approvals Coming In Now)

[BigRalphN]

I'm not sure about these headphones. The first time I plugged them in only One side was playing music. I had to twist and turn the jack until I heard both sides. Then there's the cutting in and out of the sound quality and the reduction of volume going from high to low. I don't even touch the volume when this happens. MY Samsung ear buds that come out of the box are better than these LG ones.

B&O Play earphones.

Has anyone gotten theirs yet? Mine were shipped on Friday and are en route.

I'm just curious if they sound noticeably better than less expensive earphones.

They retail for $139.00. I currently have a pair of $49.00 Sennheisers that sound pretty good to me.

I just got mine today but haven't opened them. I just bought a set of Pinnacle P1s a couple of weeks ago and now I'm spoiled. Might try the B&O for comparison though.

I guess my post got moved to this thread. No wonder I couldn't find it.

Has anyone received the $200 trade in credit yet?

I finally got my free headphone today.

I must say the sound quality is just awful! There's no bass to this headphone. My old Samsung headphone from Galaxy Note 3 sounds much better! I play with different equalizer settings.. they don't really get better.

I tried different apps and/or music services. I don't understand why anyone would pay $150 for this. The better-sounding Samsung headphones go for less than $10 on Groupon !

I also tried the legendary Sony V6 headphone, Sony MDRZX770BT Bluetooth headphone and Audio Technica ATH-M50. They all have remarkably more fuller and clearer sound.

Got mine! They sound great!

 

[Jeremiah Bonds]

They sound good..

Got mine! They sound great!

Noticeably better than far less expensive ones?

Finally got around to trying mine out today. Very good headphones!

I have a pair of these which actually sound better for the music I listen to....And I can't get the B&O's to trigger high impedance mode so these B&O's are sadly my backup Earbuds .....

 

[athenatp]

Geez, sound is very subjective....lol. Coming from a bass person, these BO's sound extremely good. They don't have a continuous punchy bass but a nice and subtle "boom" bass. I just brought the Bose QC 35 (I know) and I might return them due to the fact that I keep reaching for the BO's. They even sound good on my MacBook Pro. The BO's give a nice and clear sound to me. You can hear every instrument nicely. It might be that the DAC is making everything sound nice, so I have to try them on another phone. But as I said they even sound nice on the MacBook Pro.

What is high impedance, and how do you know that it's triggered?

44 pages?..uh I'd rather have a summary of Your opinion based on what others have said similar to my issue.

You have to clean the jack. Supposedly it has some residue on it causing the sound issues.

It was only a couple posts prior.

It was only a couple posts prior.

And we would know that because?

You can't "trigger" high impedance. The headphones either are or are not high impedance and the phone detects which they are. Most headphones and earbuds will be low impedance. A lot of higher end over ear sets will be high impedance. All most people need to know for the most part is that low impedance headphones require less power to push the headphones. Impedance, by itself, means nothing when it comes to sound quality. Impedance is often why some headsets are louder than others. Also, you will read that higher impedance means higher quality. This is only partially true. The better drivers in headphones normally require more power to push them. That is why people say that. But most sets people will buy will be low impedance. There is a wide range values and quality in low impedance range with some very expensive models still in the low Z category. I sort of wish LG had left that out of setups since so many people with no sound or electronics background look at it like some super magical thing that needs to be on. Nothing could be farther from the truth. It is nothing more than a notification. When I hook it up to my tube amp it tells me I am hooked up to an external device

These headphones are supposed to be high in impedance yet they only connect as normal.......For me atleast.....thats what I meant by triggering it ...There is definitely some type of communication between the phone and headset whatever they may be to "trigger" High impedance....If I paid for these I would be disappointed

They are NOT supposed to be high impedance. Nowhere did they ever state they were. B&Os own site lists them as 18 ohms. Not close to high Z. Here are more specs and an explanation

The occaisional high impedance reading you are getting is a false reading caused by the light film that comes on the jack. If you clean the tip with alcohol or contact cleaner, or insert the tip in the jack and turn it back and forth for about 30 seconded the tip will clean and you will get the proper reading. You may have lower volume as the V20 would try to increase the output because of the false reading. This is a good thing as prolonged use with more power could possibly damage the headsets at hitch volume.
