Seems interesting.. Anybody tried it??
Thanks

Couldn't wait for someone else to report back, so ordered one myself.
I bought the desktop cradle from Lee262online, and was happy with that, so I'm pretty confident it should be GR8! Also for $28USD delivered you can't go too wrong
Will post back once received and tested.

Thanks.. let us know when you receive it

Update: Gutted
10 days after paying for the holder and waiting for it to arrive, I inquired to get conformation that it had been sent and got this reply:
We are out of stock now.
If the item is arrive , we will shipped to you immediately.
If you can not wait, we can refund to you.
Thanks.

So I replied to find out if they knew when they expect the next shipment and got exactly the same reply.
Then on Lee262online's feedback I noticed an heavily increased amount of 's and someone who ordered the same item for the Elf had commented the window sucker didn't stick and the arms snapped off.
So I opted for the refund which, in Lee's defence, did come though without a problem. So I'm not out of pocket but back to the drawing board to find a reasonably priced car cradle with charger and speaker

I bought this one, no problem with shipping, arrived after 3 days. The speaker works great, but when using the headphone 2.5 mm jack to connect it to my car stereo (To listen to music, iPod like) the sound has no bass. Still looking for a solution. Works great as it keeps your phone charging so no battery drain from, GPS!
Quality is great, great plastics. Holds very good. No complaints at all.

eu26..it does look cool.. but at US40, like a little ex leh. I m in Singapore. tt will cost me abt S$60.. but it only ship to US only... don't think I can gt it in singapore.

Isn't lack of bass a general problem with the Trinity - there are quite a few threads on this and possible solutions IIRC.

It's garbage... I can live with it's crappy sound from the speaker, but what I can't live with is this:
* The phone thinks you're using a carkit, and thus the microphone is disabled. When answering the phone, the other party cannot hear you.
* The speaker buzzes when sms messages arrive or when you trinity is using gprs, just as you hear when you place your trinity near any speaker system.
These are major design flaws and make this thing useless.
The seller didn't bother to reply to me, as I had (mistakenly) already given him good points for the transaction on eBay. He probably figured: I've got my good score, nothing I need to do now.

Good Morning
I am also pissed at this product.It useless if the mic is disconnected.I am told that its is done on purpose because of a safty issue.
Is there no way to overcome this issue with a software mod.How does trinity know its on a craddle? On a normal charger the mic works fine.
THanks

Mini review of Sony DR-BT100CX stereo bluetooth headphones

after buying some ceap nuvelli bluetooth headphones only to find out not only did it not work at all (would not power on at all) but they also barely even fit on my head and were not comfortable i returned them and bought the Sony DR-BT100CX's not only because of their price but because i have always loved the silicone padded ear bud style headphones for listening to music, they are of course not good if you need to hear outside sounds because they really do act as ear plugs but this should be known already if your looking into this type of BT headset.

so anyways. i will give these a 4.5 out of 5 rating with possibility for a 5 out of 5
as a nexus one user running CM 6.1 RC1 they work 100% flawlessly with my phone. even the play/pause and track forward/back buttons are fully functional and sound quality is just as good as a decent set of the same style wired ear buds. one of my favorite things about this style of headphone is the small size and incredible bass response and these do not disappoint in this area either.
i'm giving them a 4.5 pending a 5.0 rating based on the short battery life i experienced. this was no doubt due to the fact i did not have enough time to fully charge them up today before i left but at out of the box + 1 hr roughly of charge time the lasted about 2-1/2 hours of constant music use before they died. sony claims 8 hours of use time, not sure if thats realistic they read half battery when i took em off the charger today but that could be inaccurate so who knows. ill post back with my results on further use later.
as for range of use. i was able to get as far as 12' from my nexus and still had perfect sound but at that distance putting my hand over the "pod" unit (the main module with controls) would cause a drop out but they reconnected extremely quickly. with normal use i do not see range being an issue with these they have good range overall.

Battery life's fine, I haven't charged mine for ages and it still goes strong.
I also used to have a cheap BT headset but it sucked so much, ended up grabbing a pair of these instead. The fact that it needs somewhere to clip to is a bit annoying, but hey, quality. Sometimes it sounds too bassy, though.

yeah they are strong on the bass at times but i like my music that way most of the time. great to hear on the battery life, they are fully charged now so i will be using them today to see how they do. the dongle doesn't bother me its actually kind of nice because it makes it easier to access the controls on the unit

How do these fare pricewise to the Sony Ericsson MW600 Bt headset? I have the SE one and I have to say one of the best headsets I have used to date, and it has a FM receiver to boot! Batterylife on the MW600 is pretty decent as well, but the only flaw is the contact slider for the volume compared to this one which is a physical button.
Both looks good, but this one looks like it can take a bit more of abuse lol.

Klipsch Image S4I?

Just purchased a pair of these because of the reviews it has gotten. I bought them on ebay and was wondering if anyone has used them on their Fascinate, if so what functions worked and which ones didn't? I want to know just in case they don't work at all I can start looking for a buyer before they even get here. Any info appreciated.

UPDATE:
I just got these recently and if you are looking for a headset that sounds great and will answer calls and drop calls with the one middle button then I highly recommend a pair of these. No complaints at all. They are regularly $89 plus tax at BB but I got a pair on Ebay for $56 straight up. If you guys are interested for a pair PM me and I will let you know what seller sold them to me. They average in the $50-$65 dollar range. Depending on how many people are watching the auction. The seller I dealt with shipped them out on a Sunday and I got them on Wednesday. Pretty fast shipping considering he sent them from NJ to CA. As far as the sound I think they sound great. Very clear sound and the base sounds really good.

I have a set of those that I gave to my wife. None of the functions work except answering the phone and using the microphone. No pause/play, FF/REW or volume control.

Sweet! That is all I was looking for. Using the button to answer a call and being able to use the mic. How do they sound, if you don't mind me asking? I don't hear to many bad reviews about them.

They sound pretty good. Probably the best sounding for under $100.

That's good news. I paid $56 for a pair, thought I over paid, but if the pair works out, I think I may have made out. Thanks for your input. Much appreciated.

Updated: Headset for my new Nexus 4

Hi all,
I'm still looking for a decent headset for my Nexus 4. I've gone through browsing/reviewing many products this week, and I was dead certain I was going to get these SkullCandy Headsets but then found out the Mic is incompatible with Android phones.
I'm dead certain these 3 below are compatible with my Android device, please help me decide which one, thank you!

Apple EarBuds MB770G/B (£14.00)

Audio Technica ATH-C505iS (£14.50)
http://www.audiotechnicashop.com/index.php?route=product/product&path=91_87&product_id=330
Now, the Audio Technica one is a new discovery, I was browsing around today and I spotted this one on Amazon/Ebay but is cheapest on their main site which suits me fine.
I can get the Samsung's for £10, Apple EarBuds for £14 and Audio Technica for £14 also.
Please advise on which one you think is better and why. In my head, I think the Audio Technica would be best, why? I've heard people say the Apple EarBuds sound isn't all that, they break easily the cap on the earbud itself and where the wire goes into the actual earbud there is no protection, one bit of a pull and you could damage the earphone. Samsung seems the cheapest option out there, this is probably a freebie with most of the older Samsung's, I think this may be the S2 or S3 headset.
Audio Technica has a Sensitivity of 102dB, the Samsung has a Sensitivity of 105dB and the Apple EarBuds have a Sensitivity of 109dB.
Sorry, didn't expect to write so much, hopefully I can get some good feedback from you all

what about iphone 5's earbuds much better than the 4S ones but don't expect the controls to work though

I've heard that the Apple EarBuds don't really fit all ears and you can't use the standard foam/cotton caps on them to make it a bit more bigger for fit, also they are quite hard so can make your ears hurt if in for long. Read this from reviews.

Updated the whole thread, please advise, would love to order one of the 3 today after good feedback, cheers!

The audio tech... H are really good earbuds . Look at the reviews

I have a pair of OLD AT's and they are great for clarity, but literally NO bass. I cannot vouch for these though, sorry.
But I kinda like the a-jays one+

You could definitely look into the senhiser range. I personally have a pair, mic less as I don't like in line microphones, and they are amazing.
The dB count on these can go up to a wopping 120, that's what mine do anyways. Definitely check them out!
Oh and I forgot to say, I brought mine for £10 but a good pair with mic can be around £20

I recommend this one all the time (pink) just cause it is 13 dollars cheaper but it gives incredible sound for a cheap price.

If you want extremely good sound quality and if you don't have much of a budget, I suggest the Bose Soundlink II

If you want good sound and more of a budget I suggest the Jambox.

There are many other types and brands, but when it comes to really good quality you gotta spend atleast over $100..

Completely agree with this. I have heard good things about the Jabra Solemate and even the Logitech UE boombox aswell as the beats pill but that is pushing $200+.
I would wait on a sale since big box stores like to put these portable speakers on sale and you could score a deal.

I've been super happy with my Logitech UE. A little pricey but great sound for the size along with a simple design (I'm not a fan of the gaudy alien egg design)

I have the UE Boombox and it's great. You can connect via bluetooth up to 8 devices, has a good range, and battery lasts for about 8-10 hours.
