Lg quadbeat 3 hss-f630 review

by far the best wired earbuds I have ever bought, and I have tried at least a dozen varieties. The flat wire seems to save them from breaking. Longest lasting. I like great sound, and as a musician, I appreciate good quality frequency range. I am not sure what this range is, but I use them every night, and it has been over 6 months that I am using this OEM LG Quadbeat headset. I've been searching for them online, and finally found my old order. Not even sure where I can replace them. Well keep trying!

Verified purchase: Yes | Condition: New

• Alright earbud for the money.

  Sound quality is ok. I have had difficulty getting it to stay in my ear (that's probably a personal issue, just haven't found the right combination of rubber grommets to use). They don't get very loud so if you want loud, not a good fit. Bass is also underwhelming. A good earbud for the money but there are definitely better options out there. Sound (7.9/10) – The sound of the Quadbeat takes on a slightly v-shaped character with present but not overbearing bass and crisp, bright highs. Overall, it strongly reminds me of the Sunrise Audio Xcited. The low end has good extension and slight mid-bass boost for a punchy, yet clean sound. The Quadbeat lacks the depth and thickness of the Sony MH1C, so it won’t be a good match for those who prefer a fuller, weightier low end. However, its bass competes well with more neutral VSonic VC02, which has slightly less bass quantity. The midrange of the Quadbeat is clear and detailed, cleaner of bass bleed than the mids of the Philips SHE3580 and Astrotec AM-800, for example. Note thickness is similar to the VSonic VC02 and again lacking some of the fullness of sets like the Sony MH1C and VSonic VSD1. The treble is energetic, giving the overall tone a slightly bright tilt. Though the VSonic VC02 and VSD1 are slightly more predisposed towards sibilance, the Quadbeat has more overall energy in the upper midrange and lower parts of the treble, which gives it a brighter, slightly splashy sound. Next to the silky-smooth MH1C, it sounds a bit harsh but on its own the treble quality is decent enough. The presentation of the Quadbeat is wide and uncongested, as tends to be the case with other earphones with similar signatures. It is more out-of-the-head than that of the Sony MH1C and even the VSonic VSD1 and retains good separation and imaging. Value (10/10) – The LG Quadbeat provides a clean and detailed, yet minimally offensive sound with a slightly v-shaped signature. It’s also rather user-friendly, boasting flat cables that are less annoying than those on the Sony MH1C and a universal single-button remote. Not all is ideal – the wide, straight-barrel housings won’t work for all ear shapes and the stock tips may need replacing, but even with the cost of new tips factored in the Quadbeat offers great value for money. It also means that owners of certain LG phones will have to spend a good chunk of change to upgrade from their stock headsets. Whether this is a curse or a blessing, I’m not quite sure. Pros: Great audio quality Cons: Wide housings not ideal for small ears; flimsy stock tips

  18 Responses I am definitely interested in trying these, just haven’t had the opportunity. please review the Genuine LG QuadBeat 3 Tuned by AKG . it sound very good . The Ostry KC06 around $60 and the DUNU TItan 1 around $120 are good options. Both have a slight bump in the bass but not too much (like the Quadbeat) with very strong and clear vocals, and wide presentations (again like the Quadbeat). I quite like all three of these earphones. Thanks for the review. I’m currently using this pair as I got them as stock earphones (pretty lucky!) They’re basically the first pair of good earphones I’ve used and I really quite like it. I am guessing I prefer not too strong bass as well as clearer/louder vocals as compared to the instrumentals? What would be an upgrade for say less than $150? The small tips are small but a weird shape. I wasn’t a fan and recommend using different tips, maybe whichever ones you already have sitting around. The nozzle size on these is pretty standard so a lot of eartips will work – Sennheiser, Skullcandy, Sony, etc. How small are the smallest tips it comes with? I always use the small tips, do you think they would fit in my ears? Thanks in advance. Piston 3 review is in the works 🙂 Sorry, I meant the Piston 3!

  Really like the Piston 2 though, so thanks for the review nonetheless.
• Thanks for the review, these look like an interesting earphone to go along with my Xiaomi Piston 2. Have you used the Quadbeat 2? Also while I’ve got you here, have you tried the Xiaomi Piston 2 yet?
• Never got a chance to try the Quadbeat 2. Pistons I would say are better than the original Quadbeat by a bit, especially if you prefer a warmer, bassier, smoother type of sound. For your genres there’s a good chance the Piston is the better match.
• Any updates?How does the Quadbeats 1 SE compare to the Quadbeats 2?More importantly,how do either of them stack up against the Xiaomi Pistons 2.1.I can get the Quadbeats 2 for about 7 dollars cheaper than the Pistons(24 dollars). I listen mostly to rock and rap music,with some hip-hop in between.
• How’s the LG HSS-F530 Quadbeat 2 compared to this? Is the extra $5 addition noticed in the sound quality department or in some other criteria. Any change in sound signature?
• No worries, hope you like the GR02 Bass!
• Nope, sorry, I decided not to risk and ordered the more comfortable GR02 Bass, since the remote on the Quadbeat had a chance of not working anyway.
• It worked without issue on my HTC One and LG L9. Seems like it should work on the iPhone as well – just without the extra functions of a proper i-remote. If your test shows otherwise please let me know so I can update it.

  I’m afraid the part about the universal singe-button remote is misleading: all the reviews I read say that the button doesn’t work with iPhones.

  What is the frequency response of the LG QuadBeat 3?

  The QuadBeat 3 earphones are so-called 'canal' type earphones and their maximum rated power is 20mW. LG has listed 105dB / mW sensitivity for the QuadBeat 3 unit and frequency band 20Hz ~ 20kHz.
