[Need] Noise cancelling mic - Epic 4G Accessories

I'm getting a Volvo C70 Turbo convertible next week and need something that will allow me to take calls when the top is down. So is there some equipment out there that has excellent noise cancelling with wind noise?
I know about the Jawbone, but was thinking about a hardwired BT setup. How good is the Parrot PS-7100 for use with the Epic?

Okay, did some looking around and figure the Parrot Mki-9200 should fit the bill. Anyone had any use with this model and the Epic?

Went to BestBuy last night and got the Parrot Mki-9200. Careful shopping on internet resulted in getting a 50% reduction in price: BB price = $399, my price $199. They also included basic installation, whatever that is.
Parrot is the leading supplier of OEM bluetooth systems to the automotive world. Who would ever thought a French company, heh.

I've used TheBoom by Umevoice. Works fine in my same car.

I use the Mki9000 in my Subaru (not a convertible, though), and it works quite well. Installation using a Quick Connect harness was easy (though my dashboard is easy to open), and there are no problems with the Epic. If you have trouble with the Epic, try disabling contact syncing.
Good luck and enjoy the great bluetooth setup!

Any word on how the Bluetooth setup worked? I had a Jeep that all bluetooth options were worthless in, so I got the TheBoom, which could handle it, but I'd be curious to see how things work in the C70.

why did you feel the need to brag about a volvo?

C70s are sick..... My girlfriend drives an '06, and they are far more sporty than people think.... I prefer to drive hers over my Audi A6, except on long trips.... Nice choice, let us know how that parrot works out....

They go faster than I ever want to go. Planning on driving across USA this summer with the top down doing a 100+
Dumped the Parrot for a Kenwood KDC-BT948HD which is getting installed Wed morning. Comes with latest Parrot OEM chips and a external mic. Made that change after calling Parrot and finding out that phone calls faster than 40 with top down was a non starter.

Let me know how that works out, I'd love to have a non-wired solution. Until then, I'll stick with the TheBoom.

So far so good on pairing to the Kenwood unit for one day. Lots of intereting settings and love that Epic phonebook gets dl to Kenwood unit.

They hear me just fine unless I'm cruising down the highway at 40+ with the window or top down due to wind noise. If I roll up windows then they think I'm at home with the speaker phone on.

Just to give you a heads up all bt headsets are almost the same as far listening and mic technology goes. I know it says on the box its military grade but its marketing don't go wasting your money. Purchase soley on comfort of the earpiece.

That's why I went with TheBoom originally. People couldn't tell I was in my Jeep! It works because the mic has to be less than 1 inch from the face. They don't have Bluetooth headsets that do that because its not "stylish". But people can hear and understand me in my car with the top down using it. The Jeep was too much because of the poor aerodynamics making wind hit the mic too much, but cleaner aerodynamics on regular convertibles work fine.

I use the ZAGG SmartBuds for noise canceling for NonBT mic.

Bluetooth earpices

Anybody got good or bad things to say about the Jabra 250 earpiece at all please? Does it need software and if so what, where cost???
Thanks
Pete
Easily available in the UK thanks
It shouldnt need software, its a bluetooth device so should work out of the box, however you will not get many of the features with the current bluetooth stack on xda 2.
I guess you mean the currentbluetooth software on the XDa. Can you advise is there any way to upgrade it and if so what are the benefits?
I have a Jabra with my XDA II and it's excellent.
In windy conditions it can be make it difficult for you to be heard. Otherwise it's great.
Allways bonds without trouble and calls are handed over every time.
I hated it. Worked fine, just hated how it fit, the comfort (lack of), and how the buttons work. I tried a whole bunch of headsets, and liked the HS820 most.
I've posted alot of pro and cons abt the Jabra....
Just to add to some of the cons:
1. If you are the type that uses hair gel, oil, perfume or something like that, be prepared as the metalic gray colour might discolor and come off.
2. Be extra careful when handling the Jabra....mine broke...if you noticed there is a screw that attaches the black body with the top one. If you bend the area there might be chances that the screw mounting might break.
I have it and I love it.
However if you wish to use it outside the slightest bit of wind makes you totaly impossible to hear. So for use in the car or inside it rocks but with wind it s**
Its great.
Only problem I've had with it is the grey part of the case has cracked but that due to where I used to wear it. Doesn;t affect the operation in any way.
I actually find it really comfortable to wear and often have it on all day. I do find in windy conditions not only am I difficult to hear but I also find it difficult to hear properly even with the volume turned right up.
But then again, I suspect none of the headsets will tackle the problem of wind noise.
Only fault I can say is the lack of mute but I think thats due to the profile and not the headset.
Bluetooth earpeices or Headsets
I had a Jabra I could get to grips with it, but many people say its fine. Thats why back in June this year I sourced my own from China...
Since I posted this note below, back before the melt down, I have had a lot of interest and buyers for an Item which I use every day all day. I've had great reports back too.
I now have a website so if you want info you can go there are feel free to contact me direct.. These will be the best spec, fully loaded with goodies and very cheap at £34.98 delivered.. 12 month warranty and 14 day moneyback if you don't like it of any reason... no questions asked..

Hi Everyone
BT headsets have been a thorn in my side for sometime now... I have had problems with Bluetooth headsets and my XDA II, I spent loads of money on all the top models and found something quirky for me with each of them, too bulky, poor talk time, ear hook interferes when wering glasses, car chargers or uSB chargers are extra, no mute, voice dail or auto reconnect facility. My list went on....
Well if you want something doing right or for free, do it youreself, as we say in Yorkshire England...... So that's what I have done.
I researched manufacturers in China able to produce a light weight (16mgs), small (54mm long 12mm thick 20mm wide) product with talk time of 6 hours and a standby of over a week! The earpeice doesn't need a ear hook, it auto-reconnects, it voice dials and mutes. You can pair it with your XDA and 7 other handsets if you really want. It works with all V1.1 compliant mobiles on either headset or handsfree modes.
Better yet it comes with a car charger, wall charger and USB charger in a gift box. Other goodies include 3 interchangeable ear cups, an ear hook if you want to use it and 12 month warrenty....
I have had one on trail for 2 months, while I negotiate with them to release it outside of Asia ( as it is very new product and only on general realese over there 1 month ago). Well they have sucummed and obtained the all important FCC & CE approval and they have agreed to ship a limited supply to the UK..... only 500 in total available in 2 styles, ten colourways..
What does it cost..... well that is the best bit.. something this good I thought it would be eighty quid but I have got them down to £35 ($63) plus P&P. If anyone is interested I can give you more details and piccies....
BT headset
Are you going to offer a wall charger for the US?
I have the Plantronics M2500, actually got it for the crappy a** Ipaq h6315 and of course wasn't stable enough to use at all. But it works perfectly with the Qtek 2020. The microsoft stack may stink but it is much more usable than the Widcomm Version for PPCPE
I have the sony ericsson hbh-65 and I think it is a very good earpiece, clear audio, good volume range, very small and light and it works.
Jabra 200 and XDA2?
Hi, I just bought the Jabra 200 and I'm having serious problems getting it to work with my XDA2. The pairing/ bonding seems to be fine!? There just doesn't seem to be any way of actually switching on the bond?
i.e. Jabra 200 continues to blink every 3 secs (standby mode). Can't get the 2 devices to work as they should?
Any suggestions? Bought my XDA in Asia (ROM 1.66.00WWE, Radio:1.08.00)
Thanks,
Jam
This may be a silly question but have you enabled bluetooth headset mode on today screen? Also I assume you answered yes to the question "this device supports headet mode, do you wish to enable"
another silly question....
For some reason i "deleted" Bluetooth mode enabling from today screen.... How can i put it back ???
I tried Settings/today..... but it doesn't appear anywhere. Can't remember this damn shortcut....
can you remind me ?
BT, PDA, PC
I want to buy a Jabra headset for my i-mate (Himalaya), but I also want to use it with Skype on my PC (basically as a headset/mike combo). Does anyone know if this is possible?
I have a Jabra BT250. Actually I have had two. The first one overheated and crapped out on me while I left it to charge overnight. The second one the microphone stopped working. :x
My overall impression of the headset was when it works, it works well, but I had pretty poor luck. My wife definitely made fun of me when I wore it. It also can be somewhat slow to answer or transfer from headset to handset. Overall on a scale of 1-10 I give it a 6.5.
:idea: FYI, one of the things that I did do that fixed the wind issue when I used it outside was to take one of the foam covers off of an old Jabra EarBoom that was broken, and slipped it over the mic part of the BT250. It kept the wind noise down a LOT more. I am sure you can find the foam covers cheap just about anywhere. (Radio Shack comes to mind). Just a suggestion.

It is possible, but it very much depends on the BlueTooth stack on the PC - I have an MSI BT USB dongle which didn't work at all, and a generic, no-name BT USB dongle with the WidComm 1.3(ish) stack that works fine.
Bluetooth Headset
I just bought a mint used Sony Ericsson HBH-65 off e-bay and I'm very impressed with it. The bonding went smoothly, it holds a bond, doesn't drop calls and is very clear. I've used Jabra headsets in the past and compared to the SE they are cumbersome. The thing I miss the most is voice dialling, surely the whole point behind BT headsets, unless the XDA is in a cradle where you can still access the 'phone keypad (isn't that still a driving offence as you're touching your'phone???).

Bluetooth Stereo Headset

Hi, I was wondering if any of you guys use a bluetooth stereo headset for your G2's because I've been looking for a certain kind. I'm looking for one that is wireless(duh) and it connected by the buds with a wire that's small and similar to the one that came with our phones. So pretty much our stock headphones, just without the cord connecting to the phone. I saw one the other day on a website but I can't find it at all.
Thanks for your time

I have had great success with Altec Lansing Backbeat 903 and they can be had fairly cheaply. While mine are 1+ years old, Plantronics offers an updated BackBeat 903+. Altec Lansing is owned by Plantronics or vice versa.

I second that recommendation. Those are great headphones especially for working out. If you don't really need bluetooth I've gone to the zagg smartbuds after getting tired of charging my backbeats and my phone from constant Bluetooth use. These just stay around my neck all day and offer everything the backbeats do, just not wireless and better sound quality.
I'm waiting on Bluetooth 3.0 to really make Bluetooth headphones really take off, with better performance overall (sound quality, outdoor performance, and 3.0 is a higher number than 2.1 duh). Have trouble at times outdoors (nothing to bounce off of). So my recommendation is the backbeats or the Cardozo s2's I believe if you aren't married to that form factor.

I actually use a Sony Bluetooth unit that has a standard 1/8" jack and plug my Shure's into that. The little controllers are hard to find now as everyone seems to want to bundle their earphones in with them.

I just found this and it looks really nice, not so sure about the clip though, but I can adapt. It meets the requirements I was looking for. The bluetooth is actually in the small device and the headphones are interchangeable with any one with a 3.5mm jack. I hope that it would come with its own set of headphones because they look really short and that's what I'm looking for. I don't want the hassle of having to untangle headphones after every usage, so I think this might be what I'm looking for. Has anybody else tried this before? I also wonder if it's completely compatible with Android.

These are the MW600 that Wolek76 is talking about in his post above. They are known to work with the Desire Z though some functionality like trackId is not working. I should be getting these for my Desire Z today/tomorrow.
I have been to frys electronics and best buy, and have bought every single one they offer at least once.
Ive tryed at least 20+ and every single one cuts off very often if I am jogging and the phone is in my side pocket.
If anyone has any suggestions be my guest and lmk please haha. Maybe something that makes you hold your phone higher or closer to your ears so the bluetooth connection doesnt break so often.

Yes these are the MW600 which wolek76 recommends, and so do I. Been using them with my Nexus One and now Galaxy S, and love them. The ear buds are very comfortable and have great sound quality, and if you still dont like em you can use any 3.5mm headphones with the unit. You can save 3 devices to use the Bluetooth with (either phone OR your BT-enabled laptop), and switch between them with press of a button. Good battery life and and the controls work with alternative Android music applications like Poweramp as well as Google Listen.
The unit did get stuck on me 3-4 times during my 6-7 months of use, by stuck I mean nothing works and you have to wait till the battery drains and it shuts itself off lol. Its ridiculous that this thing doesnt have a Reset button.
Highly recommend this headset, and cant wait to start using it with my G2 when it arrives next week.

Hi all,
Just wanted to second wolek76's recommendation for the MW600. I've been using them with my Desire Z.
The performance of the bluetooth headset is excellent - especially you you replace the supplied earphones with your own favourites (Denon AH-751s for me )
Only downsides:
No contact name on display (though the callers phone number is displayed)
No track name on display
Other than that they are excellent.
Cheers

Have you guys used the headphones that came with the bluetooth set? Is the quality of it good, or does it not come with short corded headphones?
Merry xmass everyone
Yes, these come with in-ear buds with three different rubber sizes. Headphones themselves are on a short lead and asymmetric (so that the cable for one ear is shorter, and the other one goes behind the neck)
As someone mentioned earlier, these are removable, so you can use any earfones u wish.
Quality of sound is fine for me, although I'm no expert on that matter....

How would you say the headphones that come with the mw600 compare to the one that comes with the desire z? Better?
Definately better!!!
Original htc ones dont stay in my ears whatsoever. Maybe I got weird ears but never managed to to get any htc earphones make stay in my ears (s740, touchpro2, DZ).
the SE ones actually go 'into' your ear blocking any external noise. Im very happy with that solution, but I know it isnt to everybodys taste/preference.
btw. I got MW600 for my sister...
she's got SE X10 and wanted a FM radio....
will check if these work any better with Android on SE fone (track ID, caller ID)
merry x-mass
Well, even though mw600 and X10 are made by same manufacturer, there is still no caller ID, and no track ID.
This must be definitely android issue then.
Just hope that ginger update with its new 'BlueZ' will help, when it finally lands in our Desires...
Fingers crossed

JayBird SB2 - Bluetooth Headphones

Just picked these up and had a chance to try them out on a ~2.5 mile run the other day. Awesome. Buds always hurt my ears on longer runs, cables always got yanked or pulled, and cheaper BT sets had problems when jogging, and moving around a lot. Pairing was a breeze, and sound quality is very good. Haven't done anything phone-call wise, but I don't plan to use them for that purpose.
Just wanted to share in case anyone was looking for a good solution for a bluetooth jogging / running headset.

Good bluetooth headphones?

Anyone know of any high quality bluetooth headphones with a mic? They would have to be the in ear kind. I'm willing to spend up to 200. I've been searching around and their really aren't that many to choose from. I work in security and most of the time I'm baby sitting empty buildings so they would have to be descret enough not to be noticed on the camera's if anyone choose to review them. Taking all suggestions. Bluetooth is kinda my last resort.. I really don't want to part with my CM7. Lol

Yeah, I've read a lot of good things about those. I also had the Moto s9's Hd and not. Hd's were much better but still sucked. SOOO MUCH STATIC. whenever the music would go down or change songs I would hate myself because it sounded terrible. I convinced myself that I needed them because I felt like my wire got stuck everywhere. Anyway, long story short got myself these. Never looked back. The only problem I forsee is they are sound proof.

well that is simple. Just buy a stereo receiver and you can use what ever headset you prefer. I prefer ITA (in the ear) speakers

OK, so I'm watching a movie -through Infuse- via the HDMI port and I'm receiving a call (on Infuse)
Would I be able to take the call and leave the rest of the family enjoying the movie?
I'm asking this because in theory Android can/could drive two different sound (one through HDMI, another through my bluetooth headset/handsfree for calls), but is this possible IN PRACTICE?
Has anyone tried that?
I'm sorry for the question, but I do not own a BT headset and depending on the answer to the above I will decide on buying it/that. I have no qualms installing custom roms if need be...

OK, so I'm watching a movie -through Infuse- via the HDMI port and I'm receiving a call (on Infuse)
Would I be able to take the call and leave the rest of the family enjoying the movie?

I know that you can't go take a picture that it was in picture mode... if you're really watching a family movie on your phone and you get a call, then I would recommend using your wife's phone..lol. I doubt that it would work..

bluetooth headphones
I have the jaybird JP3MB bluetooth headphones. I think they are superb. I can tell you when listening to music taking a call will pause the music and it resumes upon hangup. I would think movies might do the same thing.
Not In-ear but over the ear...
I have the Arctic P311 Bluetooth Stereo Headphones, paid $34 for them locally (via Amazon). They sound great flat and even better with some EQ. I would like to see/hear the difference between them and these other seemingly overpriced Bluetooth headphones.
I was going to purchase the Nokia BT headphones but saw these and at $34 what risk is there???
Not disappointed at all!
Sure they might not sound as great as ones plugged directly into the phone, but they don't sound bad at all and more than acceptable especially with all the stuff I've heard about Bluetooth SQ.
I originally bought these for my Pantech Link which has no phone output. You can buy a special connector that goes into where you make the connection to charge the phone and for data connection as well.
I highly recommend the Plantronics Backbeat 903+. I've had them for a few months, and use them whenever working out. The call/mic quality is pretty good, as is the music/speaker quality. My only complaint would be that it's a little flat on the bass end; other than that, I really like them.
My friend tried them out once, and bought a pair the same day. His, however, stopped working after a couple runs on the treadmill. He thinks it's because he sweats a lot and they got wet. Plantronics replaced them free of charge and he never had the same issue again.
There are actually a newer version of them out now, called the Backbeat Go. I haven't tried them, so I have no idea how they sound or feel. They seem like they'd be more comfortable to wear, especially when running or working out.
i can vouch for the first reply; i got a pair of jaybird jf3's and they work amazingly well. pricey, but worth it

Headphone bluetooth for Run

Hello Friends,
I'm looking for an headphone bluetooth that permit me to run wireless so I have chose bluetooth.
I want the possibility to listen my mp3 and give, receive call in this headphone.
It's possible?
Some BT Headphone I see have only mono and I have to use some app for lisen music (ex. Bluetooth mono).
In addittion I also have connect to my phone Zephyr HxM Bluetooth Wireless Heart Rate Sensor.
Can I connect two devices on bluetooth and have the result I wont?
Thanks
:silly:
I'm not positive about the two things connected at once. I don't think it would be a problem, though.
As for headphones for running, I use the JLab Go Bluetooth headphones. They're not the greatest in the world, but they sound good, they're sweat-proof, and they're only $40.
I am using the JayBird BlueBird X. They are great for fitness, designed to stay in the ear while being active, sweat proof and decent audio quality. They do allow you to answer calls and change tracks. Tested on my SkyRocket with multiple ROMs and Apps.

Thanks for the replay
do you think this are good?

I've heard nothing but good things about Jaybirds, but they're pricey.
Those Sonixx look nice, but I would be wary if they don't say that they're sweat-proof, but then I'm a very heavy sweater.
i have the jaybird freedom. i have not used them for the phone yet but used them quite a bit with my ipod nano in the gym. sound quality is good and can handle sweat and water well. i plan on using them soon on my S4 :good:

Take the Sonixx. I also am a very heavy sweater so I think here are good. I see the jaybird but I think are too expensive. I am a Dj and don't want spend much money also for headphone because I just have my fantastic Sony mdr 700 dj

Bluetooth headset for gyms / running must most importantly be able to stay fitted in your ear canal / on your ear. All of these recommendations seem to work just fine.
I wouldn't worry about the prespiration damaging the headsets with regular use. Your sweat just won't reach the electronics in most cases and mine's been working for months.
Here's the cheapest stereo headset available (that I use purely for gym purposes)
http://www.amazon.co.uk/7dayshop-Se...TF8&qid=1372373924&sr=8-10&keywords=bluetooth
Cheap, functional, no issues with playing music for the entire gym session Not amazing sound quality but it definitely value for money at that price.Serves most people well however it doesn't look as nice as the earbud designs from Jabra (but Jabras are twice the price).

Good phones but I think are too big for run. I try the headphone I buy and if I think not good I buy Jabra.

Go with Rocketfish RF-MAB2
Buy them on Ebay for $25 dollars.
I have used mine for 4 years.
They do everything you asked for in your original post.
You can have both connected at the same time I connect pebble watch and the car bluetooth with no issues.

Not sure how you guys can run with those over the ear headphones. My ears would get sweaty and gross. That's why earbuds are much better. I always question the people at the gym wearing over the ear beats and stuff. They look completely out of place. Those jaybirds look really nice though. I may have to pick up a pair.

I have a pair of Motorola S4s and they were awesome. The battery is beyond dead on them because I've had them for years and never charge them...(I don't use them anymore) but they're still great.
Might I suggest the LG HBS-730?

It's not cheap but the sound is good and it does work well if you want to workout. The downside is because you are running it will probably bounce (depending on you neck size) but works well if you are a bike rider or spinner.
for what it is worth. I have not had good luck with bluetooth headphones when running. Whether it is getting ruined by sweat or bouncing around too much...
I just go with cheap ones that are open in the ear so you can hear cars/dogs, and the music..
i got the jaybird freedom and i love them.
great quality BT calls everything.
love them

I use these, take the reviews on there with a grain of salt, I run with these almost every day at least 5 miles. They are great, I do get just a slight rubbing on the top of my ears but a small price to pay than dealing with stupid ear buds that always fall out when I start sweating. Also use them in the gym, range is great. I can stand on the other side of the gym from my phone with these and reception is still great, maybe 50 ft.
Battery life is good, I charge one per week and that is with about 1.5 hours of use each day.

im telling you the rocketfish rf-mab2
they are cheap, they are light, they go behind your neck so they dont interupt you when you do a flat bench. they dont move when you run
they have controls on them to change music, pause, fwd rwnd etc
they have a mic on them so you can answer calls and talk.. it pauses your music, answers, and then resumes your music
did i mention you can get them for like $25-30 bucks on ebay
they sync up to the phone via bluetooth fast and the battery lasts for a good amount of time
The Motorola flex 11 hd's aren't bad. I skate, run, and lift in mine and they stay secured very well with no comfort issues. Sound quality is on point with most wired sets. 8/10. They're also water resistant for sweat. Only downside is the back part is prone to breaking if your not careful. I broke mine but Motorola replaced them. If you do get them I would also reccomend some different ear buds then the stock ones.
