Samsung Note 3 not shipping with earbuds?
Wow, I haven't purchased this device yet but from those who have received it.. it looks like there are no earbuds. The packaging directly from Samsung certainly has them. I can't believe At&t removed a standard manufacturer accessory from a device this large and expensive. The S4 does ship with them from At&t. I'm utterly disappointed. Am I supposed to fork over more money?

I can confirm that it does not have earbuds. I agree...kind of lame.

It is especially disappointing as the earbuds are rather good. Got mine with my Tmobile Note 3 and I actually like using them. The audio quality on their older design buds were so bad I'd throw them away. What a cheap move.

Does AT&T even bother to read these forums? It is amazing how many people have complaints about AT&T on here. I have an AT&T Note 3 and it didn't come with ear buds in the box and if other carriers, as suggested above came with them then AT&T should be ashamed. I would think if they would read their forums here they would see that a lot of their customers are very unhappy not just about this but many other issues as well. Unreal!

Packed in earbuds are usually cheap junk. Do you honestly need a new pair of chintzy buds every time you buy a new phone? If you want a decent headset, just buy one.
AT&T has been taking them out of their phones for years now, as well as other packed in accessories, such as cases on some past devices. Cheap? Yes. A big surprise? No.

I've noticed this also. If purchase the phone at an AT&T store or the premier site, it comes in a cheap box and no earbuds. However, if you purchase the phone from a 3rd party vendor, like Best Buy, or even Wal Mart, the phone comes in the nice box with earbuds.
Sorry, whoever said they are cheap earbuds, but I think they are decent, and they have the in-line push to talk microphone. My Samsung Galaxy S4 Active that I just received this month also didn't have the earbuds, so I'm using the earbuds that I got with my old Samsung Infuse that I bought from a 3rd party vendor.
They should change this practice, because it really does make AT&T look like cheapskates. When you can buy the phone from a 3rd party vendor, and it comes in a better box and earbuds, yet you order directly from AT&T or buy from an AT&T store and it doesn't come with these things, it really doesn't look good, and reflects on AT&T.
