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.

Hi anybody knows of a good Bluetooth headset that can be used for listening to music and making phone calls, also one that has descent to excellent sound quality.

Motorola HT820, about 6-8 hours playtime. Built-in microphone, buttons to play/pause forward/backward answer calls plus volume buttons. I've been using those for the past 3 years. Great design, not too bulky sweat resistant design so they are perfect for gym.
Cheaper knock-off version - http://www.dealextreme.com/p/x6-sport-mp3-player-bluetooth-headset-w-fm-tf-101285
I've been using a SE MW600 with my HTC Desire HD and now with my Sensation, the sound quality is better then with the stock headset.

Sony Ericsson MW600 is a neat headset. Has FM radio as well. Great value on this headset even though you cannot see/read the tracks because you are not using a SE phone. But the radio does! And lists the song it plays on FM mode too.
I am using the JayBird F3, well worth the $100 they cost.

I've got the Jabra Halo. Works great and people can hear my voice very clear.

How's the sound quality on music and call and does this work with the music app that came with the phone?

I have been using Jabra BT3030. Love it as I hate the ones that go around your head and like that I can use whatever headphones I like. Battery life is great and sound quality is really good.

The quality is excellent, not super bright on the treble, all options and buttons work with my Sensation.
I have a Jabra Clipper but it constantly drops out. Does anyone else have this issue? Are there any tips for improving the connection, etc?
I'm using the Samsung HM3700 headset

In my personal use it has a good range, it handles bass well. But I am no audiophile so my expectations could be low

yeah.maybe
I have nokia BH 503 , more a music thing , but plenty of buttons (pick up , play , forward etc..) and real good battery life, nice sound , etc ..
+1 for the MW600.
Cheap, works well... 3.5mm jack for your own headphones
I just bought the Sony HBH-IS800's. They sound great and I got them off Amazon for $60. Only downside is 4-5 hours of battery life.
I too am looking for a good, inexpensive bluetooth headset, but I think what I desire is impossible. I am looking for a bluetooth headset that has a FM tuner built in, and has 10+ hour battery life or uses traditional AAA batteries. Anyone have any leads whatsoever?
I wonder if this same topic is in the general forum..........

The closest you'll get to that is the Sony Ericsson MW600. Battery life is great but it doesn't use AAA batteries. It does have a good FM radio built in and you can use your own earbuds.
Kpjimmy's right, the MW600 is very good. You can't charge it and use it at the same time, but I get over 7 hours use on a charge. Sounds good plugged into a hifi as well as with headphones : )

I'm looking for the best Bluetooth headphones and the best Bluetooth keyboard. I already know the headphones will be pricey but I'm willing to spend the extra amount if it's worth it lol
Gotta have the best for my Nexus

I am also quite interested in hearing recommendations for a good (Consumer-grade good heh) set of BT stereo headphones, and to jdcnosse The only set that i've found recently that looked interesting was the s-11 HD, Motorola though it's not over the ears and I hate the form factor, but it seems they finally decided to innovate on Bluetooth audio quality..

Well I did a quick look at Best Buy just to see what exactly is out there (never would pay their prices though haha) and yeah I noticed there was one Motorola pair. There was also another pair that looked fairly decent...
Found this: http://androidforums.com/android-accessories/39386-best-bluetooth-headphones-earbuds.html
Even though it's a tad old lol
I am going to connect it to my Parrot Minikit Neo bt speakerphone in my truck, then maybe try the Sony Ericsson MW600 and also the HTC Stereoclip, Also connect it to my N7 to see what it can do tether-wise. Oh forgot to see how it works with the torque app to read my odbII bt dongle and also my work phone which should connect via bt on my jabra pro headset.
Best Bluetooth headphones in my opinion are the Motorola s11 flex HD I just purchased. They sound great even with the garbage sound problems introduced in 4.2 and fit very well. They are sweat proof, have about 6 hours of playback, 150 for range and fast charging technology. 20 mins to a full charge and 5 mins for an hour. They pair very easily to my n10 and n4 as well. They aren't cheap though... run about $130. Well worth it as my last Motorola set lasted me 4 years, hundreds of hours running and washing the car, and a half marathon.

I have bluetooth headphones and will never be able to go back to corded. It's so awesome to be in my chair at work and be able to turn from one computer to another without the cord getting tangled etc
I've had several pairs:
My first pair: http://www.amazon.com/Motorola-S305-Bluetooth-Headset-Microphone/dp/B002BH3I9U/
They were cheap and I wanted to see if I could get by with bluetooth. They have a built in batter and use the same micro usb to charge so that was really convenient. Relatively comfortable and decent sound quality for the price. Battery life is so-so, and you cannot charge and listen to them at the same time
My current pair: http://www.amazon.com/Creative-WP-300-Wireless-Bluetooth-Headphones/dp/B004D4R9VC
Really good sound quality, especially the bass. Great battery life (I plug them in every couple days when I leave work). My only gripe is that they are On-Ear rather than circumaural. They can get a little uncomfortable to wear for extended periods of time (2+ hours) The other issue is that unlike the two I discuss below, there is no 3.55 jack for you to plug in in case the battery dies. I've never had an issue with this, but it's something to keep in mind. They also support Apt-X, which I don't think the N4 does
I am looking to upgrade, and the two I'm looking at are:
http://www.amazon.com/Sennheiser-MM-500-X-Bluetooth-Headphones/dp/B0076NDV0U
and
http://www.amazon.com/Parrot-Zik-Touch-Activated-Bluetooth-Headphones/dp/B0081TH24O
The Parrot has NFC which should make pairing them a breeze. Their sound quality is supposed to be excellent, and they are supposed to be overall awesome headphones. The main complaint I've seen in my research is that battery life is not quite up to par.
The Sennheiser are supposed to have superb sound quality as well, and generally have at least as good of features as the Parrot, though the sound quality supposedly takes a hit with Active Noise Canceling enabled. I don't really use noise canceling so I'm not sure how much I care (there is also the Sennheiser 500-X which don't offer it at all and are cheaper)
Engadget has a pretty solid review of the Parrot, and that's what I'm leaning towards right now, since I leave them at work I can just charge them every night so I don't think the battery life will be an issue for me.
Hopefully this helps!

Speaking of jambox...If you ever get interested in a bluetooth speaker...I have a jabra solemate and it's pretty awesome! It's a little larger than the jambox though but the volume and bass output is high enough for enjoyable outdoor use. Battery life has been extremely good. I got mine for $150.
I have the back beat 903+ from plantronics. Great warranty too. When they send you a replacement it starts a new 1 year warranty instead of continuing on the original. Have some issues staying connected if jogging from pocket but not in an armband or if you are just walking.

Oh btw, if you're going to be using bluetooth with wifi, you might wanna see if your wifi runs on 5ghz. I'm having a little trouble with my 2.4ghz wifi occasionally cutting out when bluetooth is engaged due to both transmitting on the same frequency.
Unfortunately, I can't switch to 5ghz because that frequency is dedicated to streaming wireless HD video and interactive guide to my TVs.
Bluebuds X
Personally, I'm gonna buy those.
I was wondering if anyone could recommend a good low priced headset for the 360. Or if you know one that works for the PS3 and 360 that would be good.

You can use any headset with a 2.5 mil jack (the smaller one) it might be cheaper to get an adapter for a smartphone headset, they are usually 3.5 mm and the adapter(3.5 to 2.5) is about 6$. Common headset prices are about 20$ for low end models that are new, Gamestop might have a few used pieces for 12-15$ If you dont mind a 60$ price tag get a turtle beach headset(x12), they really amp up the experience. Or go pro and get the MLG Astro's...a mere 400$
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...
I love my LG HBS 700s, they work great.

Is that the Tone, the one with the thing that goes around the neck?
BTW, forgot to mention that I'm looking for earbuds version not over ear...

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.

that looks nice... but not having the ability to have just 1 side off is turning me off.. there are a few headphones that are nice looking and they do sound great compared to earbud version... I think I like the smaller earbuds version though...

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...
