Stereo Headphones for Samsung Galaxy S8 / S9 / S8 Plus / S9 Plus / S10 / Note 8/9, with Microphone

The sound quality is very good (a.k.a. Hi-Fi), similar to the original earphones that came with the phone, and they are also comfortable to wear. I had previously ordered these same earphones from a different supplier, but unfortunately, they had a very tinny sound, which I suspect may have been a non-genuine product. This seller's product is a significant improvement! I later decided to add some diagrams I had come across earlier, which may be of interest to those who enjoy geeky details. The exploded view shows that these earphones, known as Samsung AKG IO-IG955 (AKG Harman company became a subsidiary of Samsung Electronics in 2017), feature dual drivers, commonly referred to as a two-way speaker. I disassembled my old, broken pair and measured the diaphragms of these drivers. Two-way drivers are beneficial for their improved frequency response, as one driver is dedicated to producing bass, while the other is responsible for high-pitched sounds. AKG's tuning process involves adjusting the drivers and incorporating various damping materials to achieve a flat frequency response. Notably, the frequency response diagram shows a small peak at 15kHz on the right side, which contributes to the sense of presence in the sound. This, combined with the overall shape of the curve, is a key aspect of the earphones' performance. In contrast, the frequency response of most other earphones deteriorates above 10kHz, although some Sony products and a few other AKG-tuned earphones exhibit reasonable performance in this regard.

Good quality headphones and comfortable to wear. Sound is clear, the fit is good, and the microphone works well for calls. Reliable option and good value, especially as a replacement pair.

Ok

Fast efficient delivery, great quality, noise cancelling is great (I can barely hear my wife nagging me to build a shed any more).

Terrible sound quality, either product build quality have dropped or were sent a faulty pair, I’ve bought 15x plus over the years.

Headphones are initially decent. Sound is clear and has very little sound leakage. However, the right headphone scouts working within a couple of months of regular use. Fine if you are looking for a short term option. But for longevity you were better off investing in a more premium pair of headphones.

Bought these after looking at there round rubber bits which fit in your ear. They looked like a nice comfy fit. They are, and stay in your ear.

It works as expected it do
