[Q] Bluetooth headset (for phone and music)

Seen a few posts about bluetooth headsets I would like advise on.
I attend and hold conference calls for work so need to use the mic mute function a lot. Any headset purchased needs to a single click button for mic mute. And its at this point I would like your advise.
Have seen others talking about the following but dont know if they have mic mute.
Sony Ericsson MW600
Motorola S605
What bluetooth headsets could you advise for calls and general walkman style music.

I own the mw600 and can confirm it does have a single button mic mute.
While in a call, simply hold down the "play" button for about 1 sec and it mutes the mic.
As for music ... i prefer less obtrusive setup ... the mw600 is perfect for me ... clip on the unit on my color and just put in the headphones in my ear from around my neck.
Sound quality is amazing ... battery life awesome ... no complaints.

I also own the mw600 from Sony Ericsson. I honestly can't find a competitor that I could claim as good.

I have the Jabra BT3030 and the Jabra BT620s
They both are excellent. The BT620's are over the ear type and I use them with my PC in the house . The BT3030 are unique in that you can plug in any headset to the module . I use it in the car with GPS and music player playing at same time off my Galaxy S (love this phone).
Google both and read reviews. Great products. Have had mine over 3 years.

Vote mw600 as well for this phone.

SonyEricson MW600, had it from my previous phone, loved it and to my surprise when i paired it with my SGS found that it's music controls work perfectly with the default samsung music player. Couple of days ago when i installed winamp and tried the bt controls it brought up winamp player instead of the stock one (just mentioning if someone likes winamp better).
Add to this the caller id feature, great battery life combined with a superb led display and you have the perfect headset. Well almost, i realy miss my nokia headset's vibration feature, but you can't have everything

sorry for the very long delay (holiday)
So from the replies it looks like a one horse race with Sony Ericsson MW600 being the only contender.
thank you for your advise all that replied ive bid on the bay for one.

bought the mw600 two weeks ago and have big problems reconnecting it with my sgs while signal is lost (out of range). Other devices reconnect just fine but not the mw600, every time I have to reconnect manually.

I am using the Jabra Clipper. Does the job. To bad it does not have a display but I also have the mbw 150 with openwatch. I am pretty happy with this setup.

I use Samsung's HM3500.
Does great job for 18£ device, including mini-usb stereo headphones.
Mutes microphone by holding volume up/down.

I use the Plantronics Voyager 855 Stereo Bluetooth Headset.
I bought it some years ago. maybe the have a new version. I like it because you can connect it with two devices at the same time and it is some kind of a transformer. if you don't need the stereo capabilities at a time, you can remove the second headphone.
great thing... i love it...

My se mw600 wasnt so good on my sgs. I keep getting hissing sound or kinda of static sound when plating music. But when paired with my other phones i donr have such problem.

Check out the LG-HBS-700-Bluetooth. I'm too noob to post a link... sorry.
You can try these. They are extremely comfortable... High geek factor which could be either good or bad... They sound great... About $70

i got these SE HBH-IS800 and i don't regret the money i spent on them.
stereo BT, very light, and excellent audio quality in music and calls.
i'm a fan of stereo bluetooth headsets and i tried a few:
Motorola HT820s
Motorola S9
SE HBH-DS970
Plantronics Voyager 855
but SE I800 are the best of what i tried so far.

I have been using Nokia BH-905 for some time.
Gives excellent sound quality! A bit costly though, but comes with active noise cancellation.

This is another one, Motorola ROKR S9–HD

May i ask how the battery life of the SE HBH-IS800? and how is the sound quality?
I own a MW600 and i also experience the hissing sounds.. Has anyone found a solution for it yet?

I find the se mw600 with too much treble and hiss when listening to music when used with my htc mozart 7, got rid of it, but i still use a stereo bt head set made by sony, which is listed in my sig,used it for about 5years now and the battery is still going.

Using nokia xpress music headset on p500?

I have my nokia 5800 headset around here. When I connect it to lg, and play a song, only the low pitch sounds can be heard, like beats and drums, nothing else.
Is there any way to make it compatible with p500?

mostly bcauz nokia uses trs 3.5mm jack while we req a trrs jack XD

The nokia header I have does have trss connector, its connector has 4 contacts, 2 speakers, mic and ground.

If you press the call receive button on your headset you'll be able to listen to songs properly. Can't use it for calls

Hi anand! It worked! But u have to keep the button pressed. And that gave me beautiful bassed sound ( thats nokia), than the crappy sound of the lg earphones. also, pressing the button mutes the mic, so no calls, as u said.
Do u actually know y it works this way?

There is no relation between Nokia and the failure of high pitch sound.
Is this the working ear-phone? Try with some other phone. Else try any other 3.5 mm Ear-Phone with your LG mobile.
Generally all 3.5 mm Jack ear-phones should work. The audio quality may vary but it should work.

I think it should work. Every headset with the same connector as a mobile should work.

Which headphone remotes work?

The Optimus 3d has a different set of connections for the headphone remote to the Desire HD, iPhone and most likely others.
Can you tell me which headphones with remotes work with the o3d? Also if you find a working one, what features does it have? ie. play, pause, rewind/ffwd, answer calls, mic, vol+/-, display?
To kick it off, I tried Beats Audio earbuds which have a working play/pause button but the skip, mic and vol+/- don't work. The remote is full-featured on the Desire HD.
Keen to hear from the O3D community about this. Also is there a software solution to getting them working? Is there a type of headphone remote that works on all LGs?

I looked at the jabra headset on amazon and it had a delivery time of 1-3 months so ordered this one instead, also not being in english it kinda put me off.

it came today. ordered it a few days ago via amazon for about £7 more than in the link above.
the play, fwd, back buttons work, the volume buttons work but on the bluetooth device and doesn't show up on the phone, at first I thought it didn't work, haven't tried the call functions as I only wanted it for the music as my headphone jack seems a little faulty

it seems like the topic veered to another direction, are there any WIRED headphones that work ok with the lg optimus? (E.G. those meant for iphones ? )

In what sense has the topic veered to another direction??? We're still talking about headphones....
Have a look on the packaging for the iphone logo, but most I've tried don't work...

Download TTPOD music player from android market. it has settings to use the single button on the wired headset to be configured for pause, play, next song and previous song by tapping the single button once to pause, once again to play, double tap for next song and long press for previous song.

wired headphone remotes
Yep, I've had good results with Bluetooth remotes but as for wired I haven't found anything with better functionality that play/pause.
I specifically want handsfree. So far none of the wired headphone remotes I've used have a compatible microphone. Was the Optimus 3D built without a capacity for remote controls and handsfree?

LG Optimus P500 use apple iphone earphone

Hi,
can i use iphone eraphone for LG Optimus P500 ?

Well you can only hear sound from them but the in line remote and mic won't work but I tried on HTC one v and boost latest blackberry 9310 and everything works perfectly with Apple earphones. Let me know if there's anything else you need to know.

Any 3.15 mm jack earphone delivers sound but if any extra features are present like some buttons then they may not work

You can use iPhone earphones with it, and the play/pause button does work (depends on what ROM you are using) but the volume buttons is simply NOT work, due to the fact that the original LG earphones didn't have them. Other functions such as double-click to next song and pause work. The triple-click to previous song doesn't work (It just goes to next song, and then pauses).

funny, because my blackberry earphones have the button and it works perfectly with my phone (except when the screen is off, then it takes about 3 mins to stop/start the music) but then again, i am using aokp milestone 6

hello
I thinkno thankyou

no,i use stock LG ear phone

I am planning buy the Philips SHE3595BK headset. In the company website, it specifies that this model is compatible with LG mobiles. But am not sure if its compatible with P500. Has anyone tried this model or suggest if it would be compatible. I need the play/pause, mic features too.

Has anyone tried Nokia earphones 205. It costs 349 INR?

You can use any 3.5 mm earphone. As long as it is 3.5mm earphone and in working condition, you can use it with your LG Optimus One P500 mobile. :good:
The sound (bass effects) may vary depends on the sound driver IC in the earphone. But it should work with all the general aspects. Also the stop/play, next song switcher features may not work as from earphone. It requires the Music player apps support + internal apps layer support to identify and do the proper functions.

I think every headset with the same connector as a mobile should work.

Stereo bluetooth for music & occasional calls

I don't want to spend more than $50 (Rs. 2500). I came accross Sony MW600 and Samsung HS3000. Desire S doesn't have APT-X codec (HS3000's main strengths). Even if I upgrade to another phone, I will soon root and use custom rom which will remove that advantage since APT-X is proprietary. How both these devices compare with Desire S ? I am planning to use my own headphone instead of stock headphone. Or is there any other better suited ?

I'm currently using (listening to music) my Nokia Stereo Bluetooth Headset BH-503. I also use it for calls too. No problems here. my other one is a Nokia Stereo Bluetooth Headset BH-505 lying on the table and that one works perfectly as well.

I also came across SAMSUNG HM3700 & Samsung WEP870. They can be used as a standard bluetooth headset over the ear or could just plugin headsets to listen to music. Which of these are better ? Or is there anything similar and better out there ?

Im using mw600. It works good but doesnt show trackID ON STOCK rom & cant fast forwoard.

Using Nokia BH504 bluetooth headset and very happy with it. Mostly listening to music while running or in the gym. Very good build quality, and although i tend to sweat a lot while running, everything is working. Using it for almost two years now.

Kinivo BTH220 Bluetooth Stereo Headphone
I using these ones more then a year, no problems, very good quality.
