Just got mine and I like them. Yes the bass is a little lacking (this is probably to help with clarity during phone calls) but can be fixed with the equalizer. I do like my bass and compared to my ATH-M50's they aren't as good but I'm comparing apples and oranges. I bought them for use on my bike and they fit this purpose well. The flat cord is excellent and the buds are much softer than other in ear headphones I have used/owned. It takes a little extra work to get a seal but they never feel like they are going to fall out and the softness of the rubber doesn't feel like it will be uncomfortable for long listening sessions. Mic positioning is also pretty good. Haven't tested how it copes with wind noise yet though.

Sound is pretty good. Mids and trebles are pretty good with the bass dropping off a bit. Design is excellent and I think they are worth the money. They are easily the best OEM headphones I have owned. Why didn't they come in the box with my N4 though?

Edit: After a bit of experimenting, the bigger silicon bits fit better. I thought the dual seal ones would be better but if you insert these the same way you use those foam ear plugs (i.e. pull your ear up as you insert them) the seal is much better and it definitely helps the bass. Still not a bass head earphone though.

Has anybody compared them with the Creative EP-630 earpiece?

Can any one tell me the difference between these http://www.ebay.ie/itm/LG-Optimus-G...-Call-key-support-Black-HeadSet-/330889177276 and the nexus ones
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Nospin:
Exactly what it says, the 420s have enhanced bass and hi fidelity sound. The Nexus ones are 410s.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] gavin-phelan:
So basically the lg ones i ordered should be better
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Nospin:
Should be!

@richteralan

(For some reason I can't quote you in the app, getting an invalid thread ID error)

I agree with you, for 20 bucks they do a lot and are still worth it.

Don't know if others know, but if you double press the mic button, the track skips to the next song, triple press goes to previous song and long press opens Google now.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] DowntownJeffBrown:
Tip: If u long press your xda app and force close it then go back to the post u wanna quote it should work.

I remember reading that the Nexus 4 is sold with headset in France because of regulations.

Which country did you order yours from?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] anwedr:
I'm curious to those who feel the bass is lacking with the N4 headphones, are you guys running stock 4.2.2 with stock kernel? Or using 3rd party kernels with (if any) sound enhancements, or any 3rd party mods (by Mizled) ?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] pikachukaki:
France :p there arent the headphones sold with the flat cable there are normal cable headphones with mic!
[Nexus 4 Accessories] jassycliq:
That's on anything. I've tried it on multiple devices. My N4, SGS3, G2, Sensation, Defy, TouchPad... Pretty much everything at my house. Even tried them with the soundboard at my church (I'm in charge of the sound system there). The drivers just can't deliver the bass. They just start distorting the sound with any little adjustment.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] richteralan:
Actually I tried with my headphone amp, and bass improved a lot. heh
[Nexus 4 Accessories] androidtoy09:
So I just got my N4 headphones today. I did a quick comparison with my Klipsch S4. The Klipsch completely destroys it in sound quality :laugh:

As far as built quality, N4 headphones is much sturdier and look better imo.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] freezeburn:
after reading a few of the pages here I decided to order the headphones, I have a pair of Beats that came with my old Sensation XL so I'll see how different they are.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] :
You can get the 410 & 420 here with free shipping

http://stores.ebay.com/LGMobileAccessory

Nexus branded one (400) is around $100 with shipping.. If someone has link to cheaper ones let me know
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Nospin:
I'm going to go ahead and guarantee that the Nexus headphones are rebranded LG 410s. No reason to make a third variant.

My pair arrive today, so I'll post thoughts later. If they are better than my $15 Sony pair, I'll be happy.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] superleeds27:
I think the 420's are far superior by reading the reviews on the net
[Nexus 4 Accessories] DowntownJeffBrown:
I decided not to buy these as I already have audiophile over the ear headphones and some mid end ear buds. The reviews just seem like I'll be disappointed in them so I decided to take my refund money from my broken bumper and apply that to get an orb. Google gets my money back either way Lol. Cheers guys

This must be legit?

Come in don't want post if you don't have both to compare... The nexus ones sound great and look great. If your phone is rooted they sound even better. So everyone's reviews here will never be the same.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] PieWai:
What do you use on the rooted phone that make it sound better?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] richteralan:
I don't know which reviews you've read.

Yes 420s are better, but not "far superior" than 410.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] tookah:
Yeah because the high amount of fake things that comes from there...

And NOTHING else ...
[Nexus 4 Accessories] clusterchuck:
Sounds quality is pretty solid, better mid sounds then my jvc xtreme ha fx1x, but definitely lacks in the bass department. Only thing I don't like is how none of the in ear bud tips fit my ear. Will have to buy some from another place to use these headphones fully.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] smooney3:
Mine came earlier and I'm pretty happy with them so far. My usual headphones are the Monoprice 8320, which sound great and are basically disposable for the price. I also have some Sennheiser earbuds that I use occasionally. I don't remember the model, but they were around $70. The N4 earbuds aren't as good as the Sennheisers, obviously. If the bass was better, maybe. Still, the bass is alright once you get a good fit. I would say the 8320s probably sound a good bit better, too (and only cost around $7 each), but they look ridiculous. The N4 earbuds look much better than either and I'd say they sound as good as you can expect from your average $20 set. I'm happy with the purchase, but I'll still keep a few sets of the Monoprice earbuds around, lol.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] yyz71:
hahaha :D
[Nexus 4 Accessories] anwedr:
I said I would compare the N4 headphones to Meelectronics PL21 and Brainwavz M2 IEMs.

I'm not going to go into much detail, but those who said the LG N4 headphones is lacking in bass is correct.

My setup is PA3, franco r121, Beats+xlouder+eizo MOD (by Mizled).

My PL21 IEMs were the worst of the 3. (Paid around $20 CDN if you're curious). The audio felt very mono. It lacked bass and clarity, but no distortion. I cranked up the volume beyond the halfway point and audio was clear.

My Brainwavs M2 produced the best audio quality of the 3. (Bought for roughly $45 CDN). The buds produced enough bass that made my ears go "bump bump bump". This again, I was able to increase the volume well beyond the half way mark.

The Nexus official headphones clearly lacks bass. The audio is clear and crisp, a bit too clear to my liking which is the reason I cannot increase the volume any more than what my ears can handle. Increasing the volume, in a scale of 10, 5-6/10 is the furthest I can increase the volume to, or my ears would bleed. :P

The BEATS+XLOUDER audio MOD made up for the bass, however, the bass did not sound the same as to the M2 IEMs.

I'm glad these earphones are only worth $19.99 + shipping. If they were any more than $25, I'd think of alternatives. I compared two really outdated IEMs, and I hope someone here can review and compare some decent IEMs for us. :)

I cannot comment on the microphone.

For daily usage, I'd put on my AKG K550 over-the-ear headphones any day and any time. Anyways, those cans are in a completely different league to these IEMs. :D

Pros:

- headphone with working microphone (the ones that came with my Nokia N8 doesn't even work on the bloody N4 :()

- audio is clear and crisp.

- no distortion

- love the medium sized tips, they fit so snug.

- lightweight

- fits right into the 3.5mm jack with bumper installed (good job Google/LG)

- the price

Cons:

- bass is lacking

- rubber cable. As with most IEMs, if the cable comes into contact with your body, you'll feel/hear that interference.

- cannot increase the volume by much or it begins to hurt the ears (very subjective)
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Tommebaas:
I want the headphones so bad!

To bad I live in The Netherlands :(

Where can I buy these?

They don't have that much on eBay.

Anyone have specs of these ?

Ohms -db kHz etc ?

[Nexus 4 Accessories] jassycliq:
Impedance I'm guessing is really low. Don't have an exact number but I know that if the cable runs through the back of the phone it'll start to hiss real bad. Never had that before with my old pair which I believe were 16ohms. I might be wrong, but I'm guessing that's related to impedance.

i got my ear buds and im very disappointed with them.

first - they have no bass compared to my samsung vibrant stock headphones

second - none of the earbuds are good.. they all stink and are too small and way too SQUISHY

the stock samsung vibrant phones have awesome clear thick rubber that keep the buds in your ears.

the nexus/lg ones feel like they are made with the cheapest rubber someone could source and they just fall out of my ears..

the only thing i got are official nexus accessories but they are not worth the 20 dollars plus 6 dollar shipping on something that weighs less than 1 lb and took 3 days to get to me.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] freezeburn:
This may be a stupid question but how are some of you inserting the headphones into your ear? The reason I asked is because there is a proper way to insert these types of headphones that some people don't know about. Watch this http://goo.gl/2DiWv youtube video that explains how to properly insert them. Yes the video was made with beats in mind but I have found that it works with all different brands including skullcandy and the nexus ones. I for one do get a decent amount of bass but it does not compare to the Ibeats, but still with a little bass boost and the proper equalizer setting they work great. Also If anyone wants my pair I'll be willing to trade for a white bumper :good:
[Nexus 4 Accessories] K0WAWA:
agree with this. canal earphones always hurt my ear after 30mins of usage until i saw similar video. a little twist helps even more when putting it on your ear.

[Nexus 4 Accessories] ScottyNuttz:
I'm in for a pair of the earbuds... I had a cheap pair of Altec buds at work, but twice now I've plunked them in my coffee. Now they're kind of disgusting.

I'm splurging on these because I'm a sucker for the Nexus brand, I like the design and I wanted a decent pair since I'll sit at work with them in all day long even if I'm not playing anything. This is the most I've ever paid for ear buds.

If you want something with similar quality for cheap, search Amazon for Samsung Galaxy Earbuds. You can get the ones that came with the Galaxy S, SGS II or SGS III for less than $10.

I have a couple of these at home that came with my last phone: Samsung Wired Stereo EHS60. They work great. I'll be shocked if the Nexus ones do any better.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] raikesy:
I cannot recommend staying away from the official headphones enough.

they really are terrible, the sound they produce is far too 'tinny' and just.. awful. Yes, I know how to insert the buds correctly, and I have even tried using various different buds that fit onto the headphones.

They sound like the very cheap 50p headphones you can find in a local market, and do not in any way compare to the £9.99 Sony buds I also picked up from Tesco.

I am not an audiophile, but these headphones really are terrible.

My Impressions/Review of the Headphones

My Nexus 4 Headphones arrived yesterday (along with the official bumper).

My initial impression when taking them out of their tiny box was 'cheap', very, very cheap. The cable, and ear buds don't have a premium feel, and the bud tips are the softest I've ever handled. I actually had to swap them out for some buds from my old headphones as it was the only way I could get them into my ear canal without the tips folding up and failing to create a seal.

Initial listen once I had gotten them in was very tinny, lots of highs, thin mids, and barely any bass. Tried a few different tracks that I regularly listen to across a couple of genres (Foo Fighters - Monkeywrench, Propellerheads - Bang On!, Deftones - Digital Bath, Rammstein - Mein Herz Brennt, NiN - Hyperpower!/The Begining of The End) without EQ and they all sounded pretty awful, lots of high end, little to no mids and zero bass. I also noticed quite a lot of static on the lines, when a quiet signal is running through.

Giving them the benefit of the doubt and having experienced initially crap performance from good headphones I plugged them into my Zune (yes, I'm the only person that brought one), put the volume up to 75% and left a Lossless copy of NiN's Year Zero on loop overnight. I tend to use this for burn in due to the wide frequency ranges presented across the album.

Popped them in for the journey to work this morning and they had improved ever so slightly, there was still hardly any lows, but it had brought out some mids, but the high's were so prominent that they gave me a headache at even a low volume. The tracks I listened to generally sounded pretty awful to me, and though EQ'ing the sound helped a little they just detracted from my enjoyment of the music.

Consequentially they're going back in the box as an 'in case of emergency' set, and I'm going out to pick up another set of the headphones I had previously, the Goji Tinchy Stryder In Ears, which though being a little bass heavy they're a great set of headphones, remote works with Android (single button, not the volume), the mic is crisp and clear, they're comfortable to wear, you get a carry case, an airplane adapter, an adapter to turn the 4 section plug to a 3 section plug (incase the mic part interferes with the audio on a none mobile device), come included with a set of Comply foam passive noise cancelling tips, and they work out cheaper than the N4's + postage.

As for the Bumper, that's excellent, it add's security with minimum bulk, without detracting from the aesthetics of the device.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] yyz71:
I was gonna buy the nexus earbuds. But No bass No way.

[Nexus 4 Accessories] ChromeJob:
I got a pair of the HSS-F400 Nexus ear buds from Android Central, and I'm not disappointed. The fit and finish of the metal case is pretty nice for (ahem) $20 ear buds. Sound out of the box was okay (with EQ on with both iPod Touch and Nexus 4). Burned them in overnight (2-200hz sweep, ultra-sweep, white noise (pure), white noise (radio), pink noise), and they sounded a bit better. Doing another few hours of burn-in. I've read reviews of people trying the HSS-F420 Quadbeat Reds, and burn-in seems to be pretty well required.

Supposedly the pipe for the tips is an unusual size, so no idea if third party tips will fit on these.

(Not sure what burn-in is? Go to head-fi.org. Lots of explanation, and that's where I found links to the WAV files for doing it. I just put them in a play list and repeat the play list overnight on my old iPod Nano.)
[Nexus 4 Accessories] PieWai:
Thanks. I'm going to give that a try since I'm actually disappointed with the sound quality of the Nexus 4 headset.

My Creative Ep 630 sounds way better and they're the same prise if not cheaper. The only thing missing there is the mic, though they do have a version that has a mic.
