I was at best buy and saw[and heard] the jawbone jambox, its really nice, so I Ask the guy how much it is, he says 200, I'm like WTF?? So is there a cheaper[$50?] one that sounds good and is about the same size?
I also am kind of looking for a bluetooth audio receiver... like one hat recieves it from the phone and out a 3.5mm to speakers...?
From My Samsung Epic Using TapaTalk.
I'm also looking for budget bluetooth speakers. I'd like to come home and play music from my phone through some speakers every once in a while, but I don't want to break the bank.
Suggestions anyone?
Wat I really want is a Bluetooth audio receiver. That would be the best, I already have a marginally good speaker setup for my PC. halp D:?
I dug a little bit and found this little doo-dad. seems neat, but i think my cable could suffice for a little longer?

I bought a bluetooth speakerbox at Best Buy. It was their in house brand Insignia. They actually sounded better than all the other ones which were around $70 because they had such good bass response. These were only $19, on sale.

if you are looking for bluetooth headset, try Sony Ericsson MW600. it can accommodate up to 3 bluetooth devices and it has a built in FM tuner.
Probably not the answer you're looking for but I needed a speaker for my phone and elected for wireless via bluetooth for ease of connectivity and roaming around my apartment.
I ended up buying the Logitech Wireless Boombox. I love the thing. It was an absolute lifesaver at a party we threw at our house. It's not as powerful as a traditional boombox but it will do the job for a small patio. My favorite feature is that it's rechargeable and can go up to 6 hours without being plugged in. I will add though that there is an increase in volume when plugged in.
My wife wanted one for her (since I would always take mine on business trips), but wanted something more compact. We tried our luck with a Zimri bluetooth speaker from Fry's for $30. Jeez.. right out the box, I was impressed with the thing. Honestly, for $30 I was expecting build quality to be poor, but it was quite the opposite. The thing has a little weight to it for a tiny speaker. The sound? For a tiny little thing it actually sounds decent, though it cannot compete with my Logitech of course. However, one of the best features of the Zimri is that it plays at top volume with little to no distortion. Add to it the fact that it too is rechargeable and wireless, you can hide the thing practically anywhere. I highly recommend it if you're not willing to fork out $199 on the Jawbone version (that thing sounds awesome too by the way).

I'm looking for a set of headphones within the $100-$150 range. I have looked around many forum discussions and finally decided on getting the Audio-Technica ATH-M50. However before I buy it I'm having second thoughts.. I have an HTC One S with beats integrated (obviously) and listen to mainly rap/hip hop, but occasionally rock also. I was wondering whether if I should go with the beats used or go with the M50? M50 I heard was better but us more focused on the complete sound of the song and more suited for songs other than rap/hip hop. Whereas I like my bass relatively heavy in my songs. Which beats provide since that's kinda their selling point. Also does beats for my phone have any distinctly different effect on the two headphones or does it just boost the bass of the song? Also I heard that Beats have noise-canceling technology which sounds really appealing, but my question to you is the feature worth over the M50's? Any thoughts are appreciated

I have the in-ear Monster iSport immersion headphones and I am more than happy with the sound, really pro sound from in ear headphones, I was surprised with the bass they produce. Music is crisp and loud even in max volume, no need to use it over 70-80% though since the noice cancellation is adequate.

The M50's are a very nice set and would certainly sound better than Beats, but you might consider where you are going to be listening. They are a set more geared toward home/studio. While the closed headphones are great for being able to ignore the outside noises of everyday travel and not disturb the people around you with your music, you might consider the fact that for safety reasons you might not want to be unable to hear horns/sirens/shouting while walking around. You wouldn't have to worry at all about quality with that set though as long as you are okay with closed headphones in general.
I have a set of Beats Solo HD on sale on eBay. They worked very well with Beats for me and have amazing bass. The only thing is you need an equalizer app to turn up mids and highs when playing rock or alternative. They're going cheap if you wanna check em here http://item.mobileweb.ebay.com/viewitem?itemId=181053072394&index=0&nav=SEARCH&nid=60174087912
The Beats have great bass but if you want richer sound I'd suggest another brand.

good bass
I have a pair of Sennheiser PX100's, they are pretty amazing for the price. They have great bass, good highs, but the best part is the price is about $40. Unfortunately you cant really buy them anywhere, they have been replaced by the PX100-II, and I cant speak to those. So if you can find a pair for about $40, I would definately buy them.

As with any company there are good and bad models for what you want. I love my Sennheiser hd280 pro's, but they don't have overpowering bass like other models. I was more concerned with sound blocking and clear sounds. You really have to read reviews and test headphones out in the stores (with your own device/music) if you want something great.
The Beats EQ works with anything you plugin. Beats boosts bass a decent amount with a little boost in treble.
I'd check out head-fi's website and ask around there, be sure to be specific about your taste.
I personally took their $30 recommendation for IEMs and went with a Meelectronic M31. Never looked back, works wonders with the phone and every genre of music sounds great.
Hope I helped,
Happy New Years!

To Closed Search Project,
Thanks for the offer. But I did go and buy the M50's, as I would use it for the rich sound and in the indoor environment. I appreciate the help and I'm sure anyone reading would probably take you up on that offer!
Happy New Years!

Assuming he's from US, ours didn't come with any headphones.
I have some beats studio in white and some audiotechnica ATH-M50's in white and I'll I can say is the ATH-M50's are better with any music, in any situation, and in every way.
EDIT: unless you're looking for a necklace that also emits sound, then I'd go with the beats.

Headphones for the money: http://www.monoprice.com/products/product.asp?p_id=8323
Hands down. A/B'd them against my Sennheiser HD280pro, and for everyday listening or gaming, I'd go with the Monoprice. Clear but not overpowering bass, good highs.
Fantastic presence. The HD280pro have a little more transparency in the sound, but you can't beat the Monoprice 8323s in the <$100 price bracket. There's just no competition.
Everything from dubstep to Diana Krall was gorgeous on these puppies.
Don't know what the $ price is, but can recommend sennheiser HD 25-1 II
I use the Soul SL99's, they sound great, I love the clarity all around and a good thumpy bass. I am looking for something better so I'm also checking this thread for some good suggestions under 100 bucks.
I use sennheiser HD 280 pros. I bought my pair 9 years ago and I've used them every day. I don't use speakers ever so I've litterally used them every day. Yesterday they finally broke and guess what? I'm buying another pair this week. They were $299 way back then, but they're only $100 now.
Highly recommend them!

Check out the razer electra i got em and they are amazing!
I normally take hifi magazine reviews with a pinch of salt but the Soundmagic E-10 IEDs got pretty good reviews from users too, so I splashed out a very reasonable £30 or so for a pair. It took a while to get them to fit correctly in my ear but the results are very good indeed, especially for the price.
I thought I had bought a lemon when I first tried them, but fitting the correct ear bud is vital for good sound from IEDs. When I use 'over the ear' headphones (usually at home) I use Sennheiser HD280s.

try Logitech or Genius ............... !!!!!
I'm in the market for some new headphones and I'm having a hard time deciding between the Bose MIE2 or the Klipsch Image S4A II's .
Does anyone have any experience with either of these headphones?
Any opinions would be appreciated.
Thanks!
I use too own both of them mie2 they have great confront and klips are in ear that personal I hate so much... But always comes Down to personal opinion.

Do you find the Bose stay in your ear well?
I know the Bose MIE2 are not noise cancelling headphones, but do they isolate the noise at all?
For example when your listening to music or on a phone call can you easily hear other conversations going on around you?
I'm also in the market for a new pair of headphones. Looking at the S4As as they're supposed to be meant for android handsets. They're on sale in my area for 50$ so I'm looking at those

Canada Computers I'm guessing?
I'm leaning towards the Klipsch personally. The cord on them looks like it can take much more of a beating compared to the Bose and I like the fact that Klipsch has a android app that will let you customize the features of the button on the device.
They do pretty good job blocking outside noise for daily commute on the train for me... Confront is excellent they are tight fit but you practically can't feel them its amazing especially when you are running.

I've never used the Bose set before, but the Klipsch I used for a few weeks before settling on Etymotic Research hf2's.
My ear isn't professionally trained, and I haven't used too many pairs of headphones, but to me, the Klipsch S4A's sound very warm and rich. The bass is a bit boomy, but as a result, it sounds a bit mushy when compared to the hf2's. The hf2's should be right in your price range (it comes with an inline mic with one button) and owners are promised Essency's Awareness app, though that hasn't been released on Android yet. You should check them out.
P.S. They do stick a bit into your ears; I've never had a problem with this and experience no fatigue with the hf2's, even after 6 or 7 hours of continuous wear. You just gotta find the right tip.

That's the one. On till the 17th. For what I want them for, I think they're a good deal. Jury is still out on how good the app is, but according to cnet's review, its pretty good.

Thanks for all the help guys.
I'm going to pick up the Klipsch S4A II this weekend. I will let you guys know how I like them after I have used them for a few days.
I was looking at the Plantronics Backbeat Go... Maybe might consider the Antec ISO but that extra clip part is turning me off...
I know battery life wont be good... I dont like the messy cables..
Anyone have any experiences with these would like to share...

Stereo Bluetooth Headset
I have a Sony SBH20, its great. You can use your own headphones with it, although their is nothing wrong with the ones that come with it just a very short cable. It also has a NFC chip in it, so no fussing about with pairing, just tap the phone to the device and it will turn on Bluetooth, and pair immediately. Before I had the Sony MW600 which was also good but the SBH20 has a much MUCH better clip and can actually be attached to your belt, pocket etc, I have it clipped to either my front inside jacket pocket or to my front right pants pocket if I am using a longer pair of headphones. It feels incredibly sturdy, it feels like it will outlive my phone.
Yes those are the tones. I have the tones + or 730 model are these the type your looking for? And battery life is awesome I am charging every three days or so and I watch a lot of Netflix using them and the normal games and talking.

I really like my Tones (730's). Very convenient, great battery life, comfortable, and the controls are easy to reach.
But with that said I mainly listen to podcasts. For music they are mediocre at best, but I would guess most bluetooth headsets are (unless you want to drop a bunch of coin on the Sennheisers - and even then, it's still bluetooth).
I was looking at the tones, but the neckband thing might get annoying..
I play golf so not sure if it might get in the way or maybe come off during my swing... Is there anyway to remove the neckband thing and still work?

I did some research last year and ended up with the Kinivo BTH220 Bluetooth Stereo Headphones.
They hold a charge forever and sound good too.

I play golf 2. And while I don't listen to music on the golf course, I just put mine on & hit a few balls into my practice net and it is not a problem. It fits under your collar and doesn't really move around much in the swing.
I have the Plantronic BackBeat Go. Very light weight, solid product. It's an in-ear style so it blocks out a lot of outside noise which is great but just pay attention while waking across a street.
Battery life is approx 5-6 hours for me. It could be longer but the unit itself is so small... Where would they put a bigger battery? LOL!
I'd recommend them.

They're ok, but as I said, compared to good wired buds (akg, senn, shure, etc.) they are mediocre at best. But for fifty bucks I wasn't expecting great sound quality.
I prefer the extended highs setting, and wished it didn't always reset to the heavy bass setting at power on.
I really like my Motorola S10-HD headset... It pairs quickly, and eliminates the cords. I find that the headset needs to be at almost full volume most of the time, though, as it is a little quiet. This may be a design choice to keep the battery life high...
