Hi..
I'd like to here some comments about Trinity users who use the Motorola S9 headphone. I really liked its design, seems light and usable..
Any problems while using it with the Trinity for normal phone calls and music listening?
Do you recommend it ?
Thanks
Re Motorola S9
I love it ! Excellent Audio.
However will only last for 7-10 days. i bought 2 already. I had to return the first after 7 days of use. the second unit i sent for repair.
I think it gets an electric short if u use for work out !!
u can get it for $59 from certain vendors on the internet.
i recommend to wait until they fix the bugs on this device.
Thanks..
Actually i won't be using it for workout at all. my uses will be:
1) using it as a headset for my notebook PC.
2) using it for making calls while driving
3) rarely for listening to mp3s on my trinity
for this, u can see quality of sound isn't the most important issue for me. all i need is a LIGHT (most important thing), comfortable, reliable and easy to use product.
Do you think this product is suitable for my needs?
Thanks, and would love to hear other opinions.
Although I don't have a Trinity (but E-ten X500+) I must say that this device is lovely to use. I had no problem using it on a daily basis, even when I was running (sweating like a pig). IMHO a really good device, and I sure recommend it...
Good luck!
not good for phone use
i would warn that this isn't to be used for phone use the quality of the mic is too bad. Otherwise it is good to listed to BT stereo audio.
I agree with other posters, it works pretty well for listening to music, but I wouldn't use it for making many calls, particularly if you're outside or exposed to any environment noise. The other person on your call will not be able to hear you that well.

Is it really that bad for making calls?? I won't be using it that much for this purpose, but sometimes it would be nice to make calls, like when driving or waking and not having to keep the device in your hand.
Can it also be used for making calls through Skype on a normal PC for examples??
Edit to my previous post - my S9 crapped out today, no idea why it's gone bad. Guess Motorola has some quality control issues. Too bad, the functionality was good, guess the build quality sucks.
Call quality
Yes, it really is terrible for making calls. I tried a number of times and the people at the other end just couldn't hear me at all. I tried calling my own voicemail and listening to the message. On all messages I just hear static. Very bad I'm afraid. I could be doing something wrong but I would expect never to make calls. I don't.
I have two of these S9 headset. First of all, there are a lot of fake/clone units out there so make sure you have the authentic one with the Motorola hologram sticker on the headset. Listening to music and audio is great but during phone calls, only the left side is for listening. The right side is the location of the mike...hence poor pickup by the listener on the other side of the phone. Otherwise a decent headset that is very low profile and unnoticeable by most people, (especially when you are wearing a hat).
thanks guys for the feedback im going to get my s9 next week...i hope it will work fine...thanks again

Looking to get a new bluetooth headset. Got the Jawbone ICON and volume is really low, so I'm looking for another one... Any ideas? Thanks

Seems to get the best overall reviews of any headset... Though it isn't "stylish" -.-... I prefer function over form though. Google searches + review sites generally give good overall reviews of different devices. I research EVERYTHING before I buy... If I was buying a headset, this is what I'd own.
For now though, the only time I use my phone with bluetooth is while in the car... And for that, I use the Kenwood KDC-x993 . (Now THAT, is a wonderful device )
I have a few, Blue Ant Z9, Z9i, and a Jawbone (using the jawbone now). While the Jawbone is the most aesthetically pleasing, I find it pretty damn uncomfortable. :-\ Haven't really had a problem volume wise though, and it's range is quite a bit better than the Z9's.
I have the Sennheiser mm200. They sound just as good as the cx300's in terms of sound quality. Call quality is good also.

Do you have any problem with your Z9 and your rooted N1? My N1 cannot see the Z9. Maybe I need to update the Z9 firmware?
I've been using my Moto S9 and although the quality is good I'm looking to buy a regular headset for just calls. I've seen some talk about Jawbone's Icon. For those of you that do have it how good is it?

I've read several positive reviews of the Jawbone Icon, but that's about it.
I have the Jawbone Ace. I also use myTalk as well. The only negative is that the N1 does not support voice dialing from the BT headset. I mean come on, voice commander for WinMo can do it...wtf? hehe
But I have used the Icon a few times and being a longtime Jawbone fan, I can say its worth the price. The noise assassin is actually better IMO than the prior Jawbone I have and I thought that kicked a$$. I use my plantronics 590 to stream music and answer calls too if needed.
And the other negative is the lack of volume control on the headset itself. The only way to adjust it is on the phone, which is odd, but he technology methods change every day.
OT: Any comments on my custom signature logo? LOL

I'm a bit disappointed in the face that it doesn't have a volume rocker ... Does it display the battery meter on the N1 or is that just for the iPhone?
The batt icon is only for iPhone
i have the Plantronics Discovery 975 and i LOVE it. its loud, comfortable, great charge, and it has an awesome case wich has a battery in it for on the go charging which is awesome for me.

Great. Now I want one.
I have two my main one is a plantronics voyager pro which i absolutly love, and when it dies i have some jabra one.
I have motorola h17 and works great with n1 and the good is that h17 is not always on with the phone only when you need it ....
I have had zero issues with my Icon. I've used it in the car and turned the volume up pretty loud on the radio while talking and didn't have any issues, and neither did the person I was talking to...
The Icon is much much better than all prior Jawbones...
I'm not sure why you're having an issue with the volume? Maybe try different ear pieces to make it fit better so the sound will enter your ear better?
motorola H 790 crystal talk
stereo bt headset
I've had my ht820 for about 3 years. Still working great with every phone I've had, from win-mo to android. Calls come in clear, and you can be heard pretty well, even outside, although the wind does bother at times, but that should be true of most headsets.
After an hour or so the back of your ear starts to bother. Other than that they work pretty well. I usually use it for excercise or around the house (when its not connected to the laptop or ps3)
I have the Motorola S9 and Jabra BT620s... and both work brilliantly with the N1... no connection issues... full A2DP audio streaming... clear in-call voice... Though I like the S9 better since it's easier to carry and is sweat-proof!
Hi,
does anyone use headphones other than the provided ones, and with microfone, volume and track control?
Thank you.
Best regards.
any comment here... is LG compatible with some other brand like Sony, iPhone, Samsung or Nokia?
Yeah, I'd like to know that too. It would be nice to have these controls.
Well, i can report that the Sony Ericsson handset that i have doesnt work, the iPhone headset mic doesnt seem to work either but the buttons kind of do.
currently using Nokia Bluetooth Stereo Headset BH-503 on my optimus
I've been testing some nokia in-ear headphones i had , but they doesn't work properly, you can listen only one channel, if you press and hold the button you can listen in stereo.
I lost my favorite headphones, so i've been using the stock ones.
I'm surprised, they are not that bad.
I find that they dont fit in your ear properly, but that could be just me since I've been using in-ear for the past few years.

lg headphones dont fit in my ears too.. sound quality is acceptable but they are uncomfortable
I Got In-Ears!
Indian package has IEM's!
Are comfortable and have good noise isolation too. But just have one button. So track change is possible but not volume change.
Sound Quality is surprisingly good. Low frequencies are punchy. I use them regularly. They seem to be made for each other as high end IEM's are not good for O1. Show up the deficiencies in the output of the Device!
Any guesses to how long the battery will last for music playback?
I think it can go like 20-30 hrs with other radio functions minimized.

Well i dont care much abt backup but i have played arnd with sound quality a bit..My conclusion if u are looking for wide stereom a bit high-pitched sound use doubletwist ...And as for bass boosted, enjoyable music check out realplayer it rocks with the stock ones u mentioned !!!

I just hazarded a guess as to what the backup might be with the radios turned off. It may well be beyond 40 hrs with that monster of a battery.
As for sound quality i use PowerAMP. Allows me to tweak the sound a bit with the EQ.
And what i mean abt high end IEM was that they are useless on O1 as teh O1 itself does not output audiophile quality sound. So if someone needs absolute quality, they may do well to look at Cowon's range of PMP's but for a daily use mp3 player, O1 is good. I anyway dont like carrying my expensive IEM on overcrowded public transport. Too much snagging of wires has me concerned!

Why is LG partial to India! I mean its not like the earbuds are a big, expensive add-on. They could have just as easily added them to the world wide packages. From what i know the world packages dont contain the pouch too.
Then again, you guys get the phone for free or for $30US odd(or is it contract free in Romania?). While here its contract free and for $260US.
Anyway, its good for LG to setup the phone and package in a manner taht the end user can directly use teh phone. Screen protector applied, check. Pouch, check. 2Gb card, check. Decent earphones, check!
Thank you LG!

You can buy it contract free for about $240.
I got mine at about $12 for a two year contract at $21/month. It's cheaper than what i was paying before and i got a great phone almost for free so i'm not really complaning about the accesories.
i poured water on my headphones and the left earpiece stopped working .
i tried claiming with warranty but they said they need verify my phone(void delta xD).
i shelled out 10$ for another pice of crap
Thanks for the tip! The BH-503's are awesome!

After checking this headset out on the internet I got one too, thanks for the tip! It works perfectly, sound quality is awesome, it is extremely comfortable.
There are just two things which I need to figure out:
1. How to switch off the annoying blue LED indicator light while using it? It is so annoying when you are sitting on a bus, or on some other public transport and it lits up every couple of seconds. I hate it. I painted it black, put ducktape on it, but it is still visible.
Do you know if there is a way to turn this off somehow?
2. Can you use your P500 to do voice activated dialling with the headset? I tried pushing the multifunction button for a couple of seconds but than it turns off. If i press it once, it just beeps but nothing happens. If i press it twice after each other it dials the last number.
Can the P500 and android 2.2 in general do voice dialing?
Other than these two issues, I strongly recommend this headset for anyone, they are absolutely fantastic!
Peace
I'm also looking for a replacement for the bundled IEMs. Two things I dislike about them are - 1. The sound feels muddy/overwhelming bass compared to the Soundmagic PL11 I possess & 2. The mic has that teeny weeny flimsy button.
I considered the ME Electronics M2p M9p etc., the Soundmagic MP21 but they too seem to have that flimsy mic module as well. I'd prefer IEMs to headphones because of the portability offered by the former.
So can anyone suggest something along these lines? Maybe there is an adapter, or a Sony/Nokia mic module with a 3.5mm jack which will work? Thanks a lot.
PS - I'm from India & my budget is ~1500 INR
I bought Plantronics 216 In ear, but mic is not working and volume keys neither. Track control is working well and sound quality is good too, though.

Nokia BH 503 Rocks on optimus one, i am using it since 3 days which includes music playback of 14 hours + 3 hours of calls , with me since last two months.
Hello people...
Just thought I'd share.
I bought a pair of Sandstrom bluetooth headphones today from PC World. They were only £30, so I figured that wasn't much of a punt.
I already have a good pair of wired headphones, but constantly opening the flap on the phone annoys me - and is an avenue for dust to enter the chassis.
Anyway... I wasn't expecting much, but I have to say I'm impressed! - The sound quality isn't quite as good as my wired set, but I'm more than happy with the sound for listening to music while out and about (which is when I'm more concerned having the flap open in my pocket).
They also have a built in mic, so you can take calls. And there are music controls.
Have to say - £30 well spent.

My recommend is Sony SBH20 or Sony MW600S. Currently I'm using MW1 and happy with it. But, in your case, I prefer MW600s, it has display so you'll easily find the song you wanna hear.
MW600s comes with 170 mah battery, bluetooth core ver 2.1
SBH20 comes with 110 mah battery, bluetooth core v3.0
Maybe SBH20 provide a better battery management than MW600s,

Hey guys,
Intro: Since our phone is water-resistant and pulling these claps to plug the headphones in 10 times per day is annoying, I am finally ready to consider a bluetooth solution with a mic (which I still do not really trust, but let's give it a shot!). I would like thus to revive this thread, by sharing my thoughts on the subject.
I would strongly advice to check these threads first :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2273429&highlight=bluetooth
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2229347&highlight=bluetooth - Would really love Tom Fagerland to come back and give us an update
My expectations: First, I would like to explain what do I need. In this way, we are not going to argue about a detail when we actually look for different things. You can thus point-out how different your needs are and therefore would like a different headset.
quality: I need a decent one, no more. While on the go, I mostly listen audio books through Ambling Book Player. The music is for home on normal speakers.That's been said, NO MUTANTS CUTS ALLOWED.
in-ear: those are the smallest ones and I really need to be able to put the headphones in a small pocket.
headset battery: I live and sleep with my headphones, I thus need something around 8h of autonomy, (This is why I have not considered bluetooth before, remember the 3h of autonomy max?)
phone battery drain: the use of of Bluetooth headset should not make our XZ deplete in an hour. I'm not a specialist but isn't it strongly linked with BT technology? The newer the better? So for us, BT 3.0 is better than 2.0?
full compatibility with XZ : I would like it to work well with our particular phone. Obviously. I do not plan to change phone for couple of years, so no matter the work with other devices. More, I would hardly bear some functions of the headset which are not working with XZ. Would feel like a waste.
Price: I am not ready to give more than 100 bucks.
Display : Not required. Good if there is one, but not critical
Radio : No need
Sd-card : No need
In addition : general comfort and build quality
Eliminated ones :
LG Tone hbs-700 : does not seem confortable enough, does not fit in a pocket
Samsung BHS3000 : 6 hours autonomy, clip easy to break
Jaybird Bluebuds X: 169$!!! Does it have a mic anyway?
Novero Rockway: 5.5 hours autonomy
....
Main candidates:
Sony SBH20 : seems good overall, but has only 6 hours of autonomy. Confirm?
Sony MW600 and MW600s: First, what is the difference between those two? It seems that they were firstly made for phones likes SE k800i (before android) and not all the functions work properly on android phones. True story?
Sony SBH50 : when to expect the release? What would be the price you think? Something special in comparison with MW1?
Sony MW1: seems a very good one in theory, but has apparently to many possible bugs and dysfunctions. I would give it a try, but I want to be able to give it back if too many bugs happen to occur. I am currently in Belgium and can't find any place to buy it here, even online on sony website!!! If bought abroad on ebay for example I fear that giving it back will be impossible/too complicated
What have I forgot?
I have noticed something interesting. On the sony website, both the SBH20 and SBH50 are advertised in this way : "Go great with : Xperia Z", while XZ is not among perfect partners of MW1. I understand that marketing can sometimes be a strange thing, but isn't there a REAL reason for that?

I just got a Nokia bh-221 yesterday, I just thought the same, it will be annoying to have to open the flaps every time.
The reason I went to Nokia was because I'm happy with the play 360 speakers.
This headset has a screen, but it just displays the phone number when someone is calling (or the person's name if it is in your contacts) and the battery status.
The quality is good, it has 7h of battery life (haven't been able to test it yet), it comes with a nice decent headphones but you can use every headphone you want.
It also has NFC so you can connect faster, but after the first connection, just make sure the BT on your phone is on before you turn the headset on.
The volume is a bit low, but I think it's a problem with the Z, need to test with the sound addons after rooting.
I noticed a delay in audio when playing video, I will test it tomorrow with a HTC 8X, to see if I get the same latency.

Thanks for sharing, waiting for the test results.
Just to say, these kind of problems (delays, limited screen functions...) are the ones making me reluctant towards buying other than Sony's headphones. Even though it can be a super set on its own, I'm almost sure to find some partial compatibility or even dysfunctions.

The screen functions is not a problem, is just a Nokia feature, not showing the music name...
The lags, i just tested on my 8X and I see no lag at all... I had the same problems with another philips BT headset, I think it may be an Android problem... What other OS does is just delay the video also, so both audio and video will stay in sync.
I searched for solutions, and found a lot of people with this problem, but no solution till now.

No, there are different people with different phones and headset with the same problem... I think the only (android) device i had where BT audio has synced with the video was the Galaxy Nexus.
Choose Headset.
If you want the best available sound quality and a good MIC and the most reliable accessories then stay between MW600 and MW1. i had both of them.
for you both are GREAT! but my MW600 did a lot of restarts all the time! i couldn't update it so i had to get used to it. i don't know about the latest one but before 5 years that's was my experience. my opinion...go get the MW1 with closed eyes :silly:

Thanks, will probably try a WM1. Just wondering if waiting till SBH-50 wouldn't be wiser...
Anyway,
I can't find any retailer selling this in Belgium. Will have to buy it on amazon. Does someone know if it is easy to return the item? I want to try it first. If it's ok I keep it, if not (as for sooooo many users after some research) I want to be able to get my money back.

I've compared the stats from the sbh-50 and the mw1 and it seems that the mw1 will still be better. Guess I'll be waiting for the mw2 if/whenever that comes out.

Thanks, will probably try a WM1. Just wondering if waiting till SBH-50 wouldn't be wiser...
Anyway,
I can't find any retailer selling this in Belgium. Will have to buy it on amazon. Does someone know if it is easy to return the item? I want to try it first. If it's ok I keep it, if not (as for sooooo many users after some research) I want to be able to get my money back.

Hello, man! Did you get your MW1? How is it doing nowadays? I am about to buy two units for my brother and me, and would not want a fiasco, because I have read many comments that the device doesn't work fine with firmware 1.0A.1.6 or so.
Please, tell me, which is the firmware version which is working fine with? Is it 0.1.D.0.6 the device is working perfectly? Do you recommend this headset?
For me this is the most complete and feature packed Bluetooth headset today, I am about to buy it.
Are all its features working in Android 5.1.1?
Please help me! Thank you!
Hi,
Are some of you using a Stereo Bluetooth Headset Headphone with Caller ID Display?
I'll like to use my Note 8 as primary phone (answer and make calls) but using a Headset and if it's also able to manage my music so much better.
Best Regards,
Javier

I'm assuming you mean the type where the display is on a separate piece that you can clip to your shirt. That works well, but there are some i've seen (not recently) that have the display on the actual earpiece which means if you are wearing it and a call comes in, you won't know who's calling without some voice caller id or pulling the headset off your head and looking at it (or looking at your phone, in which case the whole point is moot).
I used to think this was a good way to go, but instead just went with a smartwatch when they started to become available, as the watch can show you the caller ID and lets you use any bluetooth headset to talk on the call that you'd like.
I'm using the Metawatch Frame, but I also am waiting on my white Pebble to finally ship. I set caller ID and texts to come to my watch.

I use a Pebble and Jabra Sport together (or sometimes just the phone hooked to my stereo) to listen to music on the phone wirelessly. The Jabra controls volume and the Pebble displays the songs and can skip forward a track or back. Both can pause/play. You still get notifications on your watch no need to touch the phone. Great combo!
Edit: I'm not sure about the Jabra Sport handling calls simultaneously with music. I think you would need a more up to date bluetooth headset, so check that it can connect to multiple devices simultaneously and can handle both music and phone calls. I think the Jabra Sport can handle music OR phone calls over bluetooth, but not both. I haven't tested this, but when I place a check mark in phone audio in the bluetooth Jabra settings, it switches music play to the phone from the headset. (?)

my combination is sony smartwatch and samsung bluetooth handset HM5000
I use HM5000 because I don't like handset that you need to stick in your ear.
Using mine with sony smart bluetooth headset pro. Can read/playback sms and gmail with callerid display and fm radio function too. Great if u prefer to use ur own earphones.

I purchased a Sony Wireless Headset Pro (Lite Version). The MW1 is way overpriced, but I was so obsessed with trying different bluetooth dongles/adapters, that I had to give it a shot. Sony just released a newer stereo bluetooth recently, but I got a decent deal $80 (retail is $120). Contrary to what many of the reviews say, lots of the apps actually do work, but it's very very quirky. Caller ID display, as well as the other apps do the job that I need them to (when they are actually working properly). Main reason I got this is for daily use, while at work or on the go on the weekends.

At the end I bought the MW1 and I works very well, but the software has a lot of problems and It makes the tablet very slow.

Yup...lol. When I first got it, I got pissed cuz it automatically started updating once I downloaded the app. Then it was in an update loop, so I had to update through my work cpu. Really frustrating. Overall, I have been happy enough not to return. Just wouldn't recommend to anybody looking for the best bang for the buck.

What's the best headset with caller ID.
I know people worry about having to look at headset while it's on head. ... but my plan would be too only put this on the head when you have a call.

I should have also mentioned that in my research of this also realized that a bluetooth headset with an lcd display would either end up being so big in order to accommodate seeing the Caller ID easily and quickly or to get a small size, the headset LCD would be so small that you would have to waste precious time for enough of the caller info to scroll across the screen when you were getting a call AND THEN struggle to put on your ear in time to catch the call. that's usually too much time to pass so call is either going to voicemail or the dialer will hang up. Or you end up having an LCD display with texts so small in order to fit more info that it's very hard to read.
Good luck in finding a good model, if after finding this out you still believe that this is your best option though.

That's useful to know.
I don't mind a big display as I would only put next to my head when I want to call or receive call.
Not sure there is anything though.
In an ideal world the smart watch would be perfect for this with bone conducting earpieces always set behind the ears.
Don't know why anyone hasn't thought of that before.
Talk to the wrist but listen with bone conduction.

I have a Note 3 but didn't go for a Gear smart watch because I don't see talking to the wrist for calls as practical for my use. I do want a watch that has a mic for voice command, though.
Let us know if you find something good for your use. If you ultimately can't find a suitable model I would recommend that you consider the smart watch for your notifications once you find one that fits your style. It really is a liberating experience.
I usually use an LG tone headset which hangs around your neck when you're not using it, but in a way that is pretty stealth under a shirt collar. When I get a call I look down at the watch and if it's a call i want to take, I just remove an ear bud from the holder around my neck and put it in my ear.

Hello Group,
I would like a few suggestions on which Bluetooth to use on my S5. I just got the Samsung HM1300 and after trying it out I really don't care for it.
It paired up with S5 with no problem but the actual earpiece volume is weak IMO and I would like one that actually gets loud any suggestions folks?
Thanks

I like my Jabra Clear.. However headsets are kind of a personal thing. What fits for one person may not be good for another - a friend of mine was raving about his Jawbone, so I originally bought one of those, but I didn't like how it felt. IMO you need to just find a store with a good return policy and start buying/trying/returning until you find one you like. Just make sure when you return it, you tell them it's broken - otherwise they'll probably just stick it back on the shelf and some unsuspecting sap will get a dose of your ear potatoes.
