Great review! What material is the Syllable logo made of on the ear cups? They kinda look like stainless steel, but also don't at the same time. The inclusion of a Syllable-branded serial number sticker is quite interesting. The only difference I can pick up on are the box design, accessories (specifically the carry case, cables, 6.3mm to 3.5mm adapter and flight adapter (that's all of them, isn't it?)).

The cables are seen here with L-jacks at the device end and the 6.3mm adapter does not have a mirror finish:

Bonus picture of my flight adapter:

Also in this picture here:

You can see the cable running through the headband. I'm not sure if it's the lighting or not, but the gray matte-plastic components on the interior of the headband seem darker in comparison, as mentioned by myself in the other thread:

Here's an official stock picture of the red and white pair for reference:

Taking all this into account, the Syllables replicate the Beats Studio reasonably well from a physical standpoint, but in the end it just seems a bit "off" to me. As many deem Beats headphones to be a fashion accessory, the branding also plays a part in the aesthetic appearance of the product, like the Mercedes Benz bonnet emblem. Without the famous (and infamous) Beats by Dr. Dre branding, you could say the Syllables are nearly 'cringeworthy'.

This thread seems awfully quiet...
[General Accessories] vectron:
Well, I don't know what else to add ;) The bottom line, retailers who deal with PP will not be selling "Beats" labeled products. While those on alibaba that deal with credit/debit cards is where you can get a fully legit "knock off". Also I'm not sure about the pricing of Syllable from DX ($54) versus from Alibaba site shipped. From craftsmanship and sound quality I believe both should be the same. I still didn't get a chance to take it apart, but I have no reason to believe it will be different. Basically anybody who can't afford to shell out the full price of real Beats, now has a choice of other alternative options.

As a disclaimer from someone who reviews a lot of legitimate products, I want to add - this review was done for "research" purpose :D

I see, I never knew PayPal sellers can't sell branded replicas.

Syllable G18

I bought a Syllable G18 Bluetooth 4.0 Headphone.

Pity I don't have the skill set to judge if these are technically good or not.

But to my naive ear, they sound OK with a good bass, midrange and treble.

They don't fit my ears to well and become sore after an hour.

Has a 3.5mm jack so you can use them wired as well.

You can pair two devices with the Bluetooth headphones.

On receiving a phone call, the person at the other end said I sounded like I was on any other normal landline phone.

MicroUSB adapter for charging the battery broke away from the mount, so it'll have to re-solder it again .

Battery is bespoke to the headset, so not sure where I'll find a replacement in the future.

If they don't actually work, why consider them?

Not sure I get the point of this review, which seems to be the ONLY one out (yet) there for these headphones.

These are supposed to be active noise cancelling. No one is going to buy them if they dont cancel out noise reasonably well at relevant frequencies while leaving adequate bass and treble response in place. They will opt for the model which doesnt have this function or the model which touts itself as being passive noise reduction. If the noise canceling doesn't work, which you indicate, who cares about the rest?

Even worse, you seem to say that these suffer from the "Bose problem", which is that if you dont keep the batteries charged for the non-working noise canceling part, the whole headphones wont make any sound at all. . "At the same time, in order to use these headphones you need to turn the power switch on, which activates both noise canceling and enables the sound" Which sorta makes these cans an absolute no-no for most purposes?

Does the " active part of noise cancellation just adds some mild white noise hiss to mask it out, not much of an improvement"? If so, these cans are just an expensive chinese waste-of-money copy with an added gimmick which completely defeats their purpose? Period. Why would anyone want to consider them to " Just think of these as passive noise headphones"?

Thanks for the clear warning about these cans, - Sorry you appear to have had to buy them to write it!

I review products other companies send my way, so don't feel sorry for me since no money was wasted. I do a detailed write up, provide my honest opinion, and at the end you guys should decide if it worth spending you hard earned money.

The idea behind this review was to showcase a knock off of Beats Studio headphones (2012 edition, since in 2013 they updated it with rechargeable battery). This is 1:1 copy of what Beats is selling for a few hundred dollars, with an exception of some details as it was pointed out above were the name and label was changed and a few accessories are different. All your comments above are valid and understandable, and also applicable to those who spent $200-$300 on a real thing ;)
[General Accessories] vantt1:
Funny that you should mention the circuitry. I have just the answer to your question:

I can confirm that the microphones used are real piezoelectric microphones. Being absolute junk though? You'll have to ask Dr. Dre why that is.

And for your information, noise environment =/= sound stage.
[General Accessories] licensedtoquill:
Sorry for delay on this response, I wasn't notified of your response.

So it is the old chinese trick of using the correct licensed boards or copying them, but completing your product with such low quality junk components that the end-product doesn't either work or continue to work. (Just because the mics are real piezo doesnt mean that they are the same as Sennheisers or Bose and that proper QC was maintained in the factory making them)

Incidentally, you didn't say what happens when you use the headphones for a while so that the mics become acclimatised to the exterior sound and turn the NR off?
[General Accessories] vantt1:
Correction: they are typical electret condenser microhpones, not the piezoelectric type.

I don't know about the ANC turning itself off. Are they supposed to do that?
[General Accessories] licensedtoquill:
what happens when you use the headphones for a while so that the mics become acclimatised to the exterior sound and turn the NR off?
[General Accessories] vantt1:
Well, sound stops coming out of them, because they only work when the headphone's on.
[General Accessories] licensedtoquill:
Interesting: I always wondered why so many reputable companies (eg Bose, which arent exactly cheap) bothered with that lousy design in which the whole headphone dies completely when the battery gives out.
[General Accessories] mikespe:
I've checked out the reviews on Amazon & many people say that these are cheaply built & break easily. Plus the "1 year warranty" is only if you live in China & they won't honor it anywhere else
[General Accessories] vantt1:
If you used those headphones passively, you'll no longer be able to experience the "Bose Experience" or "What the artist intended".

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hotadef:
I checked signal strength in store. I compared my sg4 to note3 and lg g2. The note 3 was a stable 108db every now and then it fell to 106db. My sg4 106db to 105db. The lg g2 did 101db.

I want the note 3 but I cant purchase until after an update proves it software related not hardware related
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Limeybastard:
Well here's my story. Have two note 3 units. One is on. Att the other on t mobile. Both are on att service plans.

One phone shows -111 db other shows -106 db side by side consistently. My t mobile on att shows less signal compared to wife's att note 3. Is mine faulty? If don't know , just observation.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hotadef:
maybe its a frequency thing if not then maybe one is fault or that side by side the few inches make a big difference
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Limeybastard:
Their both fine. User error. Conclusion. Att shows more signal on their displays.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Limeybastard:
Also bear in mind the lower the minus Db the better signal.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] @Class:
"Also bear in mind the lower the minus Db the better signal."

Another way of wording that is the closer to ZERO the better the signal.

Anyways I've found the Note 3 to be pretty bad... Seems like this phone has a pretty weak antenna in it...

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Yungfu:
Just got my Note 3 a few hours ago, on the drive home, I slapped in my microSD card from my other phone which had my music collection. Paired to my bluetooth stereo in my car and started playing my tunes. Im experiencing random stutters that last for half a second and it just continues playing. I also noticed theat watching video, thers random hiccups just like the stutter on bluetooth. Tried playing through the phones speakers, it happens too.

Is this normal? Should I have it replaced? Or are there tweaks that should be done?

TY

edit:

Forgot to mention its a quadcore snapdragon version

ps. will rooting this break the knox fuse?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neoKushan:
I've noticed similar stuttering when listening to music on my bluetooth headphones. It doesn't happen often and only lasts a second but it is regular and it is annoying.

Can't be a range thing, phone is in my breast pocket and the headphones are, obviously, on my head. Never had this issue with my Galaxy Nexus.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Yungfu:
Good to know I'm not the only one. Might have to wait for a fix for it then.

Hope others can test this out too so maybe we can check if its a very isolated case and have our units replaced asap.

Note 3 Bluetooth Music streaming Stutter

I used 'Rocket Player' from Play Store instead of Samsung 'Music' or Google 'Play Music', the stutter seems to disappear.

I suspect is the .m4a music format.

let me know if this work for you too !
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Yungfu:
I tried Rocket player and the problem is still there, though Id like to believe that is much better compared to stock.

Video seems fine now as I blame the media that was playing that caused the stutter.

Can anyone who has rooted their phone, and removed the bloat, test it out if their bluetooth streaming stutters?

TY
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bitter1:
I have the stutter too.

On top of that, it doesn't auto-connect to paired devices.

When I was with my S3, it would automatically connect to the car bluetooth without issue. The Note 3 doesn't connect automatically although told to do so. On top of that, it sometimes (randomly) only connects media audio and not media AND phone.

I usually have to tell it to connect several times until it finally does. The S3 didn't have any of these issues.

Seems bluetooth overall needs some fixes.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arvin2212:
My device is rooted, and the bloatware are all removed.

I noticed that the bluetooth stutters even before and after rooting. My phone had been reset to factory once I have rooted to ensure a clean start.

Today i noticed something. When the screen is on, and you're doing something, there is no stutter. When the screen is off, the stutter starts. This is most likely the cpu. 300mhz isn't able to handle the music. I raised the minimum cpu frequency to 400mhz, and it was better. So basically, it could be down to the govenor or the cpu unable to handle the music at the minimum frequency. It could also be a bug.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Yungfu:
I guess we'll have to wait for an official fix then. Thought rooting would have solved it.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zylograth:
I have this same issue since I upgraded from the S3 to the Note 3 using a Sony DSXS310BTX. Audio seems to cut off several times during the song. The song itself continues to play. Kind of aggravated to have this problem on a new device when it was not there on the previous.

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Olli2k:
Same problem here, even with the new firmware. In addition right after a stutter there is a +/- 15% pitching of the streamed audio. Extremly unpleaseant on music playback.

But I found out, that for me this problem only excist if the phone screen is off.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tercerobootleg:

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] technoplunk:
Damn, and I thought the Note 3 would be my next phone. This is a deal breaker, I spend all day with music playing from my current phone via bluetooth headphones.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hockeyfan:
I can confirm that by turning off all unnecessary services that the Bluetooth audio stuttering is gone. I had the exact same problems as the rest of you. When I got my S9005, the first thing I did was stream audio to my car's Bluetooth radio, and it was awful. Skipping/pausing/stuttering, the whole works.

I then set about disabling virtually every unnecessary app and service that came bundled with my GN3, and then went for a 3-hour car ride yesterday and streamed audio the whole time, and there was absolutely zero stuttering. Not even once. And I had WiFi enabled at the same time as well, and I never updated my firmware. So, that's the good news! :)

The bad news? Unfortunately, I don't know which app(s) or service(s) that I disabled eliminated the Bluetooth audio stuttering. It could be KNOX or the indexing service, or one of the various S apps, or maybe all of them, some of them, or something else. I just don't know. Your best bet would be to go through and start disabling the apps/services one by one (I also used Titanium Backup to disable some of the ones that are restricted) until you find out which one(s) are related to the Bluetooth audio stuttering.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MystaMagoo:
2013 I'm guessing was jellybean?

Just updated my phone to lollipop 5.0 and get missing/stuttering/skipping.

Got it in kitkat 4.4.2 and thought lollipop should have fixed it?

It's not as bad but it's still as annoying as hell.

headset is BT 4.0,I have another headset that's 3.0 and I'm sure it doesn't happen with that headset(testing).

Phone is stock and unrooted and also waiting for the 5.1.1 update so I cannot alter the cpu which I heard was the problem?

But why no problem with my 3.0 headset?

It's also a bit weird,sat at my desk skipping doesn't seem to be that big a problem but when phone is in my pocket and I'm walking to work it's a problem?

phone to headset is the same distance apart.

It's like using an old mobile cd player,skip city.

Any known solutions or something?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] YG007:
I started to get the Bluetooth stuttering a few weeks ago, and it drove me nuts! I'm on lollipop, and even though my fix might not be the fix for you, the thing that did it for me was that stupid beam service that comes with our phones. I didn't even know about it until I factory reset, and went through each apk, one by one, until I fixed my issue.

delete:

/system/app/beamservice/beamservice.apk

and

the updated apk in /data/app/com.../....

(obviously you need root to do this...)

Hope this helps someone. I listen to music A LOT, and it made me so pissed that something as simple as streaming music couldn't even stream properly!
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] YG007:
Spoke too soon. Rebooted and Google Services Framework updated and the stuttering came back. I removed every extra APK, totally debloated the system. It has to be something that Google updates because before Google Services/apps get updated, bluetooth is totally fine. After = stuttering.

Hello everyone, first I want to say that this is not a piracy post, I paid for all my apps in Japanese. I'm a huge fan of Japanese Pachinko and Pachislot, in the past I used to trick google store to buy my stuff from there but of course now it doesn't work anymore so I was wondering if there's a work around as stupid as it can be (for example going to Japan, buying a Japanese Play Store card, saying that you are in Japan, connecting in Japan and buy the apps) I'm 100% sure that once bought the apps is available for ALL your devices connected to your account (tested with paid and free apps), I have a friend who live in Japan and that can be "manageable" lol but a pain in the ass also.

Does someone as an easier solution ? I contacted the company and they said that they are not going to put it on the market OUTSIDE Japan, never... So I'm a bit doomed with the new apps (the other solution is to buy an retina Ipad, creating a Japanese account and Japanese gift card *that's what I did sadly to have the apps*) Anything is welcome here...

I've been trying to get this Dinc 2 to work for sometime now. I bought it used so I don't know what version of software it has.

It displays the white "HTC" screen for a few seconds, then goes dark. A few seconds later the white HTC screen shows, etc etc etc. I can get into FASTBOOT with PWR/Vol-.

I've tried flashing various versions of the ROM (saving the file as PB32IMG.ZIP on the SD card). It seems to read the file but then comes up with the "wrong image" message.

The previous owner says he unlocked the the phone using the online HTC unlock, and it does say "UNLOCKED" at the top of the FASTBOOT screen. I read someplace that you had to relock the phone in order to flash the PB32IMG.ZIP file but I don't know how to do this.

I can't use ADB because I can't get my computer to recognize the phone.

Any suggestions would be greatly welcomed!
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] ArslanQureshi:
are you s-off??

are you s-off? If not then you cannot flash PG32IMG.zip (it has to be PG32IMG.zip not PB32IMG.zip) try installing these drivers: https://www.dropbox.com/s/kg37o7tsn3dq1nt/HTCDriver3.0.0.007.exe

then boot into fastboot and connect your phone to pc. the phone should display fastboot usb from there you can flash rom via adb.

remember if you don't have s-off and bootloader says unlocked then refer to this guide for flashing roms : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1435228
