Anyway, I found the product page for the EHS63. Doesn't look like anything out of the ordinary, at least a first glance. Still, I'd be willing to try them if Samsung will send me a pair. tongue.gif

I have the EHS63 and am testing them now --- so far they are not half bad.  Some issues with fit and comfort, and the cable microphonics are sub-par, but sound quality is pretty decent.  Haven't tested in the inline mic yet.  Will be writing up a full review in the next week or so.

I doubt they'll release good/decent earphones.

Don't underestimate Samsung. This batch of headphones from them might not be so great, however based on their great track record with other electronics items, I expect them to eventually be producing some great headphones. It might take them a while though to be a contender in the headphone field. Notice though how Samsung displaced Sony as the leading edge tv maker. This didn't happen overnight though, it took time.

Why?  Samsung is one of the largest consumer electronics companies in the world, and I can't even imagine what their yearly R&D budget is ... wouldn't be unexpected at all to me if they put out some quite decent IEMs.

R&D doesn't tell much. Nokia has spent 6 years around 4 billion euros yearly on R&D, as much as Samsung on it's whole business that includes pretty much everything. ;)

They'll eventually get it, they're mp3 players sound great so why not there headphones. Give them a chance before you bury them.
