Can anyone recommend decent BT earphone - not headphones for the Trinity?
I'm looking to replace the HTC headset so mic and remote would be extras but not essential.
Surely spending money on good BT earphones is more worth it than buying the USB to jack converter and good earphones - loads of wires!
Also, I assume the pairing only needs to be done once and BT listening to music, pausing for a call, and restarting all works a dream? I've never seen it in action before.
I'm happy with my Sony Ericsson HBH-DS970. Pair it once, and your happy. I don't use it for music though. I haven't found the sound quality to be good enough on any bt set, or wired set from a ppc yet.
stereo bluetooth headset
I'm very happy with my
I-Tech clips IIs
they works very well , but I was forced to install MSI blueplayer
I'm currently looking at buying the Plantronics Pulsar 590A.
It costs about $170 though.
I have 590a. They work great with my Trinity both for music and phone. And not that great with my laptop
I ordered today. How's the sound quality?
Not perfect but good to very good (not enough bass/treble). And you have to make some registry tweaks for best quality. I used fit4cat program to make them automatically for me.
HTweakC 2.1b or Hermes Tweaker v1.1a? I think you mean the HTweakC, right?
Does anybody know any good bluetooth headphones...I hate working out with wired headphones. Right now I'm debating between the Sony DRBT100CX and Motorola MOTOROKR S9-HD.
get the sonys as i've had the motos and they're rubbish and hurt your ears after a while !
I have the motorokr s305 I just got from verizon for 25.00 on a sale. I also have a pair of Dynex headphones from ebay I got for 20$. They both feel ok and work great. For the price, the Dynex ones are good.
On a side note, I opened up the dynex headphones and wired audio cables up to it to plug into my home receiver.
Careful buying motorola products on ebay. I purchased a set of bluetooth headphones and got a knockoff. They worked like ****.
The motorola s9 hd is totally wireless which is great.
The sony uses bluetooth 2.1 which might work better with my n1 compared to the motorola s9 hd's 2.0 bluetooth.
I have the Sennheiser MM400 and its the best i tried. Especially the sound is great if u listen to music as well!
Yes, I using it to mostly workout...i need something that won't fall off while running so the Sennheiser MM400 might be suitable.

I don't think there are any "good" ones. Reading the reviews leads me to believe they all suck.
I have the Motorola S805 and they're comfortable enough but the sound quality is lacking and they're also quite noisy (hiss). I almost always use corded headphones instead.
So what's the difference b/w bluetooth 2.0 vs. bluetooth 2.1

About .1
LOL. good one...I mean specs wise. Better reception and quality?
I actually own a pair of those Sony DRBT100CX and they work very good with the MyTouch. I listen to music on them a lot and there's no skipping.
Using it for calls works well also, the mic on it is sensitive though. I could stand about 25 feet away while talking in a normal voice and it comes in crystal clear on the other end (probably not good to use in crowded areas, at least for talking on the phone through it).
I also use it paired with my ps3 as a headset and it works well with it also.
I'm satisfied with it thus far.
I have the Moto HT280's the S9's and now the Altec Lansing/Plantronics BackBeat 906
They all cut out horribly outdoors.
The problem seems to be they can't penetrate a human torso, so a phone in your breast pocket won't get signal to the antenna near the back of your head. If the signal has walls to bounce off of it's generally fine.
However if I use the audio->bt dongle that came with the 906's it works fine indoors or outdoors. So I'm currently blaming weak BT on the N1
I'm currently trying to figure out a BT TX power test suite to see of the N1 just has weak BT TX/RX power (perhaps to save the battery) and if it's changeable.
Motorokr S9, had them last year, they lasted about 3 months with me running75-80 minutes a day 4x or 5x week, then the sweat got in and [email protected]@ked an
ll up. Definitely not worth it, also the controls are awful. I now have a pair of iLuv clip-on earphones, and they come with an adapter so they can be used even with non BT devices. I love them.
Motorola S805 if you like supra aural head phones (not ear buds).
I use this for both computer headphones and headphones for my phone. It also has a mic if you get a phone call mid work out.
They do skip on occasion, but it's not that big a deal.
Ive got Nokia BH-03 which are great for the price I paid which was about 40 bucks. 10 hours of music play time really loud and great sound quality(for Bluetooth headphones).
Does anyone else have sync issues when switching from music to games?

Cheapest I found is at Newegg for the 903 is $69.99 w/ free S+H and $84.95 w/ $5.99 S+H for the 906.
I have a pair of Sony BT and a pair of Insignia BT, they both sound great to me but im far from an audiophile. I usually use the insignias more because theyre wrap arounds which is better for me at the gym, but I usually leave my phone on the windowsill and the quality is fine wherever I walk around, its not a huge gym, but decent size and the audio controls built onto the insignias let me pause, skip fwd and back, volume and all that stuff which is nice.
Motorola Bluetooth® DJ Headphones S805
I Bought the Motorola Bluetooth® DJ Headphones S805 last year for my G1 and i must say i love them! they can last you 12hrs on a single charge. i would highly recommend these headphones. here's a link from amazon. Click Here. shop around you could find a better deal on them. good luck.
Samsung SBH650 (has 3.5mm plug)
Replace kit earbuds with Shure ones.
has anyone used jaybirds, they're alittle expensive compared to the other bluetooth headphones i've seen, but i've seen great ratings on them as well.
supposed to be great for workouts, sweat durability and all
especially curious how they work with n1 if anyone has them or tried them
Can anyone recommend which bluetooth headset is good? I want something that is able to listen to music and receive call. I just hate those cable when listening to music. Thank you in advance.
i have a Jabra BT530 (one of the few that support A2DP = music streaming) only con is that you cant skip track using the headset volume button. otherwise its a good one !

the problem is with the music player your using. use a different one and give it a whirl.... should work a peach. i use tunewiki or simply music (both free apps).
Just for test I bought this from ebay:
http://cgi.ebay.nl/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...163711&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT#ht_4192wt_911
It's a pretty cheap one from Hong Kong and it works perfectly (both calls and audio)! So I can imagine some other cheap BT headsets (with A2DP profile) will work as well.
Why that one you might ask. Well, in combination with € 3,- helmet speakers I have a complete working BT audio setup nicely tucked away in my helmet. For navigation etc on the motorcycle! All together for like € 10,-. A bit different than the € 200-300 they ask for BT sets built into a helmet!
There are BT headsets from $ 4,40 (around € 3,50), but I'm not sure they support audio over bluetooth. So you might want to look out for that!
But my estimation is that it can be done for around 10 euro's! Search on ebay for 'a2dp -dongle' and you might get some interesting hits!
i got the jabra street BT3030 today, bought from amazon.de
i am impressed, because it looks stylish, it worked from the beginning without any adjustments (using latest nightly of CyanogenMod, just start you bt-headset, open BT settings in your phone, add JABRABT3030 pin 0000), the headphones are really good (of course no comparison to expensive sennheiser) and the microphone is very good (i am phoning during this post ). And i like the fact, that you can buy some other headphones with 3,5mm pin and use it.

Depending on the use of the bluetooth headset, another suggestion could be something from Jaybirdgear.com, like the Sportsband 2. It's a lot more pricy than the others, but if you don't like the in-ear style, and even wants to listen to music while in the shower, yes I can confirm that they are able to do this without getting broken, these might do the job for you
But ofc, if running, sweating and getting wet while listening to music ain't your thing - don't buy em, as they are rather pricy.
I use a pair of Sennheiser MM400 headphones. Absolutely brilliant sound quality, plus it has a mic and next/back/play/pause buttons. I can confirm that the controls work with the Desire, cause it has AVRCP.

Hiya folks. this is my 1st post. so i thought i'd turn you onto this great bluetooth receiver i got from amazon. Since this is my 1st post, i can't post the link. but here's what to look for...
Sony Ericsson Hi-Fi Bluetooth Stereo Headset with FM Radio
& i included a pic too.
I needed a bluetooth that'll allow me to listen to music as well as make & take phone calls. plus i needed bud style since i can not have them in both ears at work. this has worked out so well that i may buy another one, just as a backup.
This allows for me to use any headphones i want (didn't like one it came with). sound quality is great!! plus fm radio built into the device, so i can listen to my morning shows, & save some battery... then switch on Pandora for the rest of the day & jam out!!
hope you find this as great as i do!!
I may be on the hunt for a bud replacement for my motorolas... this looks nice and sleek. Good find! Thanks!
Personally, I'm using the Jabra BT8010. It's a discontinued stereo bt headset, but it features a mini oled screen, built in equalizer, jog wheel, mini phone book, as well as takedown for mono bt mode.
check ebay for it. I use it and I love it.
I've got a Jabra BT3030 that looks like a metal dog tag and takes any 3.5mm set of earphones. They don't make them any more, but you can find them for cheap on eBay.
The only thing I don't like is its non-standard charger.
Yea..this this uses the same usb port as the g2.
have been using it for a few months and it works great
the only complain i have is the volume slider, it sucks so hard....
I'm looking for a better bluetooth kit for my car. The one I have sounds like garbage, produces static whenever I get around cities, etc. Would prefer to just buy a new unit for my car, but have a feeling those may be a bit expensive especially since I have a double din unit and it would just look ugly having a single din instead.

Not more than a couple hundred for a whole new head unit.
Kinovo BTC450. $40 on Amazon. Bought 2. They work great.

I just got this double din unit for my wife's car.
http://www.crutchfield.com/p_158WXGT90B/Sony-WX-GT90BT.html?tp=5684
I could not possibly be more happy with the quality of it. The bluetooth connection and sound quality is absolutely stellar.
I am waiting for a headunit that supports Apt-X. It seems that there isn't one on the market yet, despite all modern high-end phones supporting it, and plenty of accessories coming out with Apt-X support.
Get a souble din to single din plate/converter and then it provides a cd slot used to hold your phone. and a nice single about $200 (if that) If your thinking of audio I personally use a cord.(ebay gold plated 3' audio cord $4) on my 09 Ranger with a single din pioneer, way easier n "hassle" free. when a call comes in it goes to the tooth.. Just my thoughts
I have the BlackBerry adapter, works great.
http://www.amazon.com/BlackBerry-Remote-Stereo-Bluetooth-Gateway/dp/B00170KUM0
Unless you want to run AOSP ROM's, then buy an APT-X bluetooth adapter. It can hid behind your dash and plug into your current car stereo head unit's 3.5mm input jack.
Much higher audio quality than you get with normal bluetooth. Much deeper bass also.
AOSP ROM's don't work very well though, with APT-X. See my signature.

Sony WX-GT Series Double DIN Head-Units - this one is nice. Look online.
I'm using a Dension Gateway Pro BT. Lets me retain my stock system, but adds in-car handsfree, A2DP streaming, USB phone/hard drive/flash drive/whatever support, and auxiliary input, while integrating all the functions with the car's built-in controls (works with steering wheel controls and displays track titles, and full menu and browsing support on the driver information display).
Only issue with my car is it disabled satellite radio, but then again I'd never, ever subscribe to that low-quality crap again.

+1 for the BTC450. It's Apt-X, sounds beautiful, and connects to the S4 immediately. The small size helps to disappear it for a nice look and the car socket adapter has a usb port. Charming little device.
I bought the iClever Himbox HB01 Bluetooth 4.0. It is small really low profile and looks nice. It sound fantastic when playing music. Calls on it are good too.. People say I sound very clear but they could tell I was using a hands free device but I guess that is normal with all hands free products.. I would recommend this highly and at only 25 bucks it is a great deal and feels high quality..

I went a similar direction, opting for the iSimple Connect. Looks like it works just like the Denison but you can retain the factory Satellite radio. I do subscribe to XM, but mostly because the GF likes it and I do a lot of long distance (700 miles) trips in the car.
