Personally, I am very thankful for the current design that you apparently dislike.

That other style caused serious pain for my ears and always left me wondering how anyone could wear them for more than a few minutes. I'm so glad for the other style!

I just clean them every now and then and since I don't have much by way of ear wax, it's not a problem at all.
[LG V20 Accessories] AcostaJA:
Xioami's 1more with triple driver are a by long much betters and a bit cheaper too.
[LG V20 Accessories] @rbiter:
Superior in torturing your ears? Falling out? Sound leakage? And no sound isolation?

One thing I like about the H3s is you're isolated from the world and the buds are good enough to immerse yourself in that isolation.
[LG V20 Accessories] ZDeuce2:
I personally like this design, as they fit... And don't fall out. I have purchased some really expensive ear cleaning apparatus though, Q-tips... So the ear wax problem you speak of is a null point for me.

---------- Post added at 02:36 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:32 AM ----------

Oh, and yes, these B&O's are by far the most crystal clear and accurate ear buds I've ever heard.
[LG V20 Accessories] KOLIOSIS:
LMFAO :highfive:

I gave mine to a friend & she said the same regarding the fit,most comfortable she's ever used.

Unfortunately,I've got an RMA in the works,intermittent connectivity,but sound quality is there,real nice.

Not worried about it,it happens (hence the 1yr warranty) & LG has been cool w/me going back to the G2 days,they'll make it right one way or another.

On an unrelated note (from another thread),THX for the browser recommendation (Slimperience). :good:
[LG V20 Accessories] roosta:
You must have been wearing them wrong.

You probably shouldn't buy cheapo's from Ebay < $5; as you've described symptoms of budget option earphones. There's your problem. Good ones are $25 US and up ad have much better bass. But hey, it's not for everyone. Clearly some people have had bad experiences, or have been listening to music on manic roller-coasters wondering why they fall out. These ones were awesome but I accidentally drove over my last pair :(

Perfectly molded for anyones ear shape. Easy to move around. No pain...

http://www.diytrade.com/china/pd/12855287/Sennheiser_OMX60VC_Street_Ear_Hook_Headphones.html

I haven't used these B&O's one yet, but I've decided to buy the phone. I'll have it tomorrow.

Ha... clean ears or not, if you wedge them if there far enough so they don't move,they need to be cleaned constantly. Some of those larger designs that didn't fit as well that would occasionally fall out for some, was easily fixed. Sennheiser made a great quality earphone (linked above) that I used for a long time. More for the typical active-person so you can listen to music and run...without feeling like your 2 pinkies are wedged in both ears like the earbud design
[LG V20 Accessories] roosta:
My point exactly.
[LG V20 Accessories] Andrew025:
That's not really a point since every ear is shaped differently.
[LG V20 Accessories] planetbeen:
Did you seriously just say I wore them wrong?

OK. Yeah. That must have been it. How stupid of me.

And you Rollercoaster riders... Well, you know who you are. You did it wrong too.
[LG V20 Accessories] ElBeaner:
This, I can't get them back into high impedance mode anymore. When I plug them. In all I get is normal audio device now.

Have tried reboot with them plugged in and not and still only showing up as normal audio device
[LG V20 Accessories] ElBeaner:
It took a lot of plugging in and out but finally got them back into high impedance mode.
[LG V20 Accessories] lbp102:
Got mine.. no issues but I'll stick with the Klipsch I got a few black friday's ago. Gave these to my wife.
[LG V20 Accessories] @rbiter:
OK Steve Jobs. Not everybody's ear is your size nor do you know what we want. Acting like an elitist audiophile. None of my gear is under $100 btw besides my Wolfson digital silence noise cancellation buds I got for $20 and serve their purpose for calls and noise cancellation and no music or extended use.
[LG V20 Accessories] ElBeaner:
And back to not giving me high impedance

Not sure what is causing it

Going to stop by tmobile and test it on their in store phone. If it goes high impedance, I'll swap out my V20 if not I'll do a warranty exchange on the headphones
[LG V20 Accessories] tribalartgod:
I'll be getting rid of mine. They are nice looking headphones and the sound quality isn't bad... However, they don't play nice with my V20... They are the only set of headphones that wiggle in the port, and the right channel goes out from time to time. (I assume because of the wiggle) I'll be sticking with my JVC Marshmallows that sound just as good, if not better. Yes, that's right... I just said a set of $10 earbuds sound better than the $150 free ones that B&O sent me. *Audiophiles everywhere just twitched* Let's be honest here tho... For being $150 retail, they are pretty cheaply made, and the wires are so thin they'll probably short out within a month or two.
[LG V20 Accessories] Andrew025:
I wouldn't really worry about the wiggle.

All my other headphones (Shure, Audio Technica) have some play. I exchanged the phone because I thought it was the phone... Nope. New one still has the wiggle. I haven't noticed any sound issues with any of my headphones though.
[LG V20 Accessories] alexsoin:
I'm pleasantly surprised by B&O H3 especially after seeing so many negative reviews right here in V20 XDA thread. They don't look cheaply made for me, I don't feel like they gonna break after a month of use and they don't wiggle in 3.5 mm port! What they do well is providing incredibly comfortable fit and very balanced neutral sound. I'm not the biggest fan of in-ear headphones overall, I would rather pick my Sammy's Level On or Shure 880's instead and V20 powers these 2 like a charm! But I totally see some applications and benefits of having B&O H3 as I can wear them the whole day w/o feeling any kind of discomfort, I can handle a long phone call using them as well, mic works great! So please give them another chance before selling/returning and listen to different kind of music on B&O H3! Mine handled jazz, blues, rock, pop, electronic genres so easy and famously that I think this might be the best set of IEMs I've ever had. Only one little complaint is the included carrying case, it's kinda cheap and bad and I'll have to use my million years old hard case from Moster Turbines! I was so impressed with these complimentary H3s for last couple days that I'm thinking of buying another set for my wife, iOS version, as she uses iPhone 6s.
[LG V20 Accessories] BROKEN1981:
After you test it out, can you keep this updated? I was thinking about a warranty exchange with the earphones. I would rather wait to see other people's result first.
[LG V20 Accessories] KOLIOSIS:
I've already started the RMA process with mine,which I gifted to a friend (intermittent connectivity/etc...).

Still awaiting a reply,if you choose to go this route,just call the LG toll-free number on the card that was included with the shipment.
[LG V20 Accessories] BROKEN1981:
Yeah, I tried that. They kept giving me different numbers. I was shuffled around hardcore. So I gave up. I later realized you have to go to the .com address and RMA through chrome.

---------- Post added at 10:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:44 PM ----------

A question for anyone really, are these earphones meant to be high impedance? They are rated at 18 ohm. I think when the quad DAC goes into high impedance mode, it says 50-500 ohm.
[LG V20 Accessories] KOLIOSIS:
Yeah,I got an email soon after my conversation & followed the instructions (submitted a copy of my phone receipt).

It's only been a day,so,I'm OK for now,will follow-up in a weeks time if I don't hear anything.
[LG V20 Accessories] roosta:
Calm down Princess. Not acting like an elitist at all. I'm illustrating how every single company nowadays is producing identical style buds. There's no variation - which you'd expect, as using your own words; 'not everyone has the same ear size'. Audio quality is really in the ears of the owner, like a TV - not everyone see's and interprets the same thing as quality. Pack it up and move on...sheesh.
[LG V20 Accessories] PsiPhiDan:
Not as great as my Westone 3's, but then again they shouldn't be. I'm going to try and sell them.
[LG V20 Accessories] KOLIOSIS:
Just got an RMA shipping label for the return (Going to Fort Worth,TX.),but,not before having to send another screenshot,this one being of the approval email for the earbuds.

I'll post the results as soon as I hear something from LG.
[LG V20 Accessories] planetbeen:
Then apparently you agree that maybe those kind may cause someone pain due to their size/shape and the hard plastic they used to be made out of rather than your earlier statement of "you must have been wearing them wrong".
[LG V20 Accessories] ACR_Manny:
Well looks like I'll be calling up lg and claiming my warranty on my headphones as well because I'm also having issues with going into the high impedance mode. They sound like regular headphones. Only the first time I plugged them in brand new did it work and sounded loud and great.
[LG V20 Accessories] echobraiin:
Overrated. Personally I wouldn't buy them. Sometimes I have to jiggle the tailend of it for the right side to come clear. ?
[LG V20 Accessories] smooth703:
I personally like my regular Samsung headphones over these
[LG V20 Accessories] flexte:
Before you return them for sound issues clean them off with rubbing alcohol. I posted this and doesn't seem like anyone listened. I found it out on reddit and shared it with you guys.
[LG V20 Accessories] ElBeaner:
Went to 2 different tmobile stores and tested. Both the V20 entered as normal device which leads me to believe it's an issue with the headphones

---------- Post added at 11:22 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:21 AM ----------

Do they enter into high impedance mode?
[LG V20 Accessories] Kief_haring:
Don't get me wrong they feel nice but I'm selling mine. I feel as though the hype of them being free & "premium" made it out to be more spectacular than it actually is.

---------- Post added at 06:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:54 PM ----------

Exactly...
[LG V20 Accessories] flexte:
don't even know what that is. All i know is they work right after i cleaned them off.
[LG V20 Accessories] Hagbard57:
Where is the OP that details this? I am interested in reading.
[LG V20 Accessories] Byte_76:
I have not read through the entire thread.

Any comments or feedback on the build and audio quality of the B&O earphones that are included in the box of the H990DS?

---------- Post added at 11:36 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:27 AM ----------

Can you provide a bit more feedback on the 1More Triple Driver? I am thinking of buying these.

Do they activate high impedance mode on the V20?

How is the sound quality compared to ther high-end earphones? (Which other earphones have you tried?)

Which you class the 1More as "high-end"?
[LG V20 Accessories] flexte:
My post #18. I also did a video and one person commented it worked. I found out about it on reddit.
[LG V20 Accessories] AcostaJA:
I'm not audiophile (yet) neither I have an V20 yet (it's on the mail) but I've ear some FLAC on High Impedance Sennheisser Cans Headphones driven by external DAC from my mac, I've tested Xiaimi's Piston, almost every Beats, Sennheisser ie80, and B&O Cans (with H.I. & external DAC). these are my subjective impressions (hearing some classics and Lemon Tree by Fools Garden @24bit/96khz (which i use as reference test):

All Beats just looks nice, earing Lemons Tree cant distinct the cup broken from timbal sound, no more else to comment.

ie80: better than any included earbuds, very comfy too.

Xiaomi Piston: much better than ie80 but not so comfy, incredible cheap considering are way lot better than Beats.

Sennheisser Cans: Best Sound Experience, you almost can see Lemon Tree's cup getting broken.

B&O Cans: almost nondigestible from Sennheisser cans but looks nicer.

I've read comments on 1More 3xD, that compares them close to reference monitors as Shure SE846, on my experience with Pistons an given high end shure are out of my reach I ve ordered the 1More 3xD the same day as my V20.

I've no idea on 1More impedance, neither how it may affect sound from V20.
[LG V20 Accessories] bjhill2112:
To those complaining about these not triggering high impedance mode - not sure you'll want them to do that. These headphones are only 18 ohms (higher than your standard $10 buds or freebies, but still considered low impedance) so I wouldn't expect them to trigger high impedance.
[LG V20 Accessories] mchllsndrs:
I received these ear buds on Monday and they are defective. They lose connection constantly and the remote part doesn't work-no volume +or -, etc. Guess I'll be calling for an RMA. Oh and I did clean the plug with rubbing alcohol- no difference.
[LG V20 Accessories] haris163:
I finally tried the B&O's, I was thinking of selling them but they don't get enough on eBay to worth my hassle of selling them. They definitely sound awesome compared to my $15 earbuds. The sounds feels like is coming from a bigger speaker compared to my cheap earbuds.

Paired with the V20, make for a nice experience and good alternative when I don't want to be walking around with big cans. The controls work fine. They never triggered the high impedance mode (they shouldn't since they are only about 18 Ohms) and I haven't had any connection/jack issues.
[LG V20 Accessories] twistedvip:
Not entirely sure why but I have never had my V20 not trigger the high impedance mode when using the H3's. It's always turned on immediately when I plug them in - and I definitely agree that it probably shouldn't turn on since they are only 18 ohms.

I do use my Bose QC15's most of the time though which are above the 50 ohms range. Just thought I would share my experience with it. (AT&T variant)
[LG V20 Accessories] gulliface:
I have been using them for a few weeks now. They sound very good, but there is one fatal flaw as far as I am concerned. It is a big one for supposed MSRP of 150.00...you can hear any touching of the cord in the microphone and the earbuds. Almost as if the wires used in these have no insulation whatsoever. It defeats the purpose of the quad DAC this phone has as one of it's main features. While using them to talk on the phone, people on the other end can't understand me when the cord rubs on my clothing.

I would have returned them if I had paid actual money, completely unacceptable.
[LG V20 Accessories] pieces of cake:
Bass causes irritating distortion at full volume, but they're otherwise pretty good. Shame that there's no EQ to filter out some of the low end. :crying:
[LG V20 Accessories] Byte_76:
I went ahead and bought the 1More Triple Driver. I can confirm that it does not trigger high impedance mode but it does not matter. The volume is loud and clear and the sound quality is phenomenal. There is plenty of bass, clear mid-range and highs with no distortion that I can hear.

Now I'm no audiophile but to me, the sound from these IEM's is amazing and very noticeably better than the B&O earphones that I received with my V20. For their price and as a complete package (very nice premium box with extra ear tips, a carry case and a few other extras), the 1More Triple Driver driver is very impressive and excellent value in my opinion.

For anyone else thinking of buying them, I say go for it. If you don't like them, its only $100 and you can probably quite easily sell them again for near to what you paid.
[LG V20 Accessories] Nightmode:
I have 3 sets of LG bundled earphone and try to rank them.

- oem from LG G Pro

- oem from LG G4

- BO from LG V20

I've turned on hifi mode on all test.

Not sure about high impedance mode...where to look at?

Tests with my own ear using several music and headphone test app.

As expected oem from G Pro falls on last place.

LF test on 20 Hz barely there, while the other sets still give vibration.

Surprisingly, I feel that oem from G4 is more convenient and powerful than BO from V20.

G4 fits perfectly into my ears while wearing BO feels my ear become more stuffed because of the bulky housing.

The bass sound is more kicking and pumping on G4.

But the V20 slightly wins the HF range just between 16-17 kHz, while G4 start missing on 16 kHz.

I'm no audiophile and never experience high end headphone......so result may vary.
[LG V20 Accessories] Dark Jedi:
For free they are good. To buy there are better ones out there for the same price
[LG V20 Accessories] Jooosty:
Really expensive for what they provide. $20 Xiaomi sound slightly weaker. A VERY slight.
[LG V20 Accessories] axaman943:
IMHO i've not been blown away by the B&O H3 earbuds... thei are good but not a 150$ good, fabric cord and overall finish is nice though, but always better than those crappy samsung or apple buds!
[LG V20 Accessories] porscheoscar:
They are the best free ear phones in the history of music

Go ahead Prove me wrong!!
[LG V20 Accessories] porscheoscar:
On a serious note I received these H3 weeks ago but I didn't even bother to take them out of the box. I was fiddling with my Shure 215 ($100) in ear headphones and my FiiO Kunlun DAC trying to see if I could notice differences in the V20 DAC over the FiiO DAC. So out came my V-Moda XS ($200) on ear headphones as well. While we're at it let's try the LG Infinim($125) Bluetooth to compare no DAC sound and why heck why not the V-Moda M100 ($300) over the ear headphones as well to have one kind of each category. I've got a pair of Beats Solo 2 as well but their crap build quality means no more sound on one side... Tons of videos on YouTube on how to re-solder the wires... Don't buy Beats.

So how do the H3 compare? Pretty much in the ballpark. The highs are a little bright but you can tone this down a bit with an EQ app. The bass is not punchy like on the M100 but it's pretty tight. The best part is the clarity. I can pick up all those little subtle instrumental notes that you totally miss on an entry level set of in ear headphones. In other words this is definitely a mid range sound quality. Not really at the head of pack... but you have to have a really good ear to be unhappy or disappointed. These days mid tier means $100 and up unless you go no name Chinese brand from Amazon.

What I do like in particular about the H3 is that the build quality is solid. They don't have that cheesy flimsy feel of a pair of headphones sold in a blister pack at CVS. The wires are solid and don't tangle as easy because of the density. They come with four sizes of ear bud tips which I found to be a pretty good fit because I have really sensitive ears that get irritated easily. The fit on these is secure and you don't have to really jam them in your ear to get a good seal. They're wayyyy more comfortable than Shure's fussy fitment and the sound is definitely comparable. And they have a remote that actually works with the V20 to adjust volume and a microphone long press in the middle for Google Now and phone calls. If you see these new on Ebay for any price below $50 you're not going to do better. If you got them for free I would not bother spending more on a better set of in ears. Save the money for a good set of over the ear headphones. You will not get a better free pair of buds with any big brand phone. Maybe BLU, Oppo or Xiaomi could pull it off but you know how that goes with our carriers. LG have the best freebies. First the 200GB micro SD with the V10 and now the H3s.
[LG V20 Accessories] Logantbrown:
I wouldn't buy them, but they are better than the 30 dollar Sony's I had been using. Unfortunately, like a lot of midrange ear buds, they are incredibly sibilant. S's, cymbals and the like really come out to strong, but a dip in the EQ between 3 and 6khz (around 4.5) fixes that issue. They also have a fairly exaggerated low end so I do a bit of a low shelf from 125hz down to 0. After evening them out like that, they're pretty nice and definitely do the job. At home I use over-sensitivity beyerdynamics anyway.
[LG V20 Accessories] BROKEN1981:

[LG V20 Accessories] kadajawi:
You're aware that IEMs are used for example by musicians on stage? $25...? Look at earphones $250 and up, and you won't find any of those cheap ones that don't go deep into the ear.

Btw., I do also prefer IEMs over earbuds.

As for your not one size fits all... that's the great thing about IEMs. They come with different rubber nubs so depending on your ear you pick the one that fits best.

As for the B&O earbuds... does anyone know which ones are included in the dual sim box? Looking at an unboxing they don't look like the H3...
[LG V20 Accessories] kadajawi:
My dual sim V20 arrived, and there were B&O branded IEMs included. They are NOT H3. Completely made from plastic it seems. Fit is ok, I can imagine them turning uncomfortable. Sound is fine, first impression is they sound a tad compressed. Kick bass seems a bit exaggerated, I can almost feel it. Lower bass, say below 100 Hz is there, but quite subtle, which I like. It doesn't want to drown you in bass, I'd say it's about the way it should be. Except for really low bass, which is, well, missing in action it seems. Like the really low stuff, below 40 Hz. So far I listened to Purity Ring, Nirvana - In Utero (MFSL version), Neon Demon Soundtrack, Diana Krall, Knife Party. The snare is too recessed on In Utero, there seems to be some weaknesses in the mid range, and on my rather decent stereo system the album breathes much more.

My guess is these are LG earphones (made in vietnam) with some input or tweaks by B&O perhaps, from what I can tell they are not being sold by B&O standalone (not a good sign IMHO). Though they may use B&O designed drivers in a more affordable casing (not that they feel cheap). There are two kinds of cable used, the upper part connected to the actual earpieces is bog standard, rubbery and thin. The portion connected to the 3,5mm jack looks a lot like the B&O H5 cable.

Definitely a big step up from say Apple Earbuds or the Airpod, but I'm not impressed. I do prefer them over the Audeze iSine 10, but mostly because that was a pain in the ***. Almost impossible to get a good fit, and while it was wonderful with certain songs (couldn't pin it down), it wasn't with most. These "B&O" seem much more balanced. I'd be curious to try the H3 in comparison. But overall I'd say better than what you'd usually get in the box, but there's lots of room for improvement. If I had spent $140 on them I would have been disappointed, but then again I expect the H3 to be better. Will try to compare to my Sony MDR-CD480 tomorrow (which is surprisingly good).

It's these, by the way:
