Can anyone point me to a BT headset that works ? - Verizon Droid Charge

My plantronics headset constantly drops out since the GB update.
I know most here root but can anyone point me to a headset that works properly
with this phone and the stock rom.. Have asked the question elsewhere but cant get an answer.. VZW says known problem w/ fix coming but reps never seem to have accurate info. Thanks

should I take the lack of response to indicate no one has a bt earpiece they are happy with ?

I'm quite happy with my Jawbone Era. Never had any issues with it. It's crystal clear and nice and loud, and I've never had it drop connection unless I went out of range.

BlueAnt headsets have always been the best for me. Tried Jawbones and they sounded tinny and weird. Never have a problem syncing with my Charge.

Blue parrot. 18 hrs talk time. Been using it for years. Just bigger than most. But clarity and volume is unbeatable.

im VERY happy with my Motorola S305. Got it from a Vzw.com firesale for $25 like they do every year around christmas. it's a Stereo wrap-around style which lets you listen to music or talk while you jog/walk the dog/work in the yard etc. Good size, battery life is killer even after 2 years, good controls, good sound, pairs reliabily with SCH-510 and others..

I have to agree.

appreciate the feedback

I liked my Jawbone Era until one of our dogs decided it was a chew toy.
My Plantronics was nice, but it fell apart pretty fast.
Now I have the Motorola HX550 and it has been fantastic. Very comfortable, easy to turn on and off, and the sound quality is great.

Rocketfish RF-MAB2
I've had excellent luck with the BestBuy Rocketfish RF-MAB2 stereo headset. Solid phone calls, and pretty darn good music playback. I've used it with the Charge on every ROM I've tried, including stock.

+1 for the Jawbone Era. Thing is absolutely brilliant, plus its got multi-point or whatever so it links to multiple things.

N1: Best Bluetooth Headset?

Looking to get a new bluetooth headset. Got the Jawbone ICON and volume is really low, so I'm looking for another one... Any ideas? Thanks

Seems to get the best overall reviews of any headset... Though it isn't "stylish" -.-... I prefer function over form though. Google searches + review sites generally give good overall reviews of different devices. I research EVERYTHING before I buy... If I was buying a headset, this is what I'd own.
For now though, the only time I use my phone with bluetooth is while in the car... And for that, I use the Kenwood KDC-x993 . (Now THAT, is a wonderful device )
I have a few, Blue Ant Z9, Z9i, and a Jawbone (using the jawbone now). While the Jawbone is the most aesthetically pleasing, I find it pretty damn uncomfortable. :-\ Haven't really had a problem volume wise though, and it's range is quite a bit better than the Z9's.
I have the Sennheiser mm200. They sound just as good as the cx300's in terms of sound quality. Call quality is good also.

Do you have any problem with your Z9 and your rooted N1? My N1 cannot see the Z9. Maybe I need to update the Z9 firmware?
I've been using my Moto S9 and although the quality is good I'm looking to buy a regular headset for just calls. I've seen some talk about Jawbone's Icon. For those of you that do have it how good is it?

I've read several positive reviews of the Jawbone Icon, but that's about it.
I have the Jawbone Ace. I also use myTalk as well. The only negative is that the N1 does not support voice dialing from the BT headset. I mean come on, voice commander for WinMo can do it...wtf? hehe
But I have used the Icon a few times and being a longtime Jawbone fan, I can say its worth the price. The noise assassin is actually better IMO than the prior Jawbone I have and I thought that kicked a$$. I use my plantronics 590 to stream music and answer calls too if needed.
And the other negative is the lack of volume control on the headset itself. The only way to adjust it is on the phone, which is odd, but he technology methods change every day.
OT: Any comments on my custom signature logo? LOL

I'm a bit disappointed in the face that it doesn't have a volume rocker ... Does it display the battery meter on the N1 or is that just for the iPhone?
The batt icon is only for iPhone
i have the Plantronics Discovery 975 and i LOVE it. its loud, comfortable, great charge, and it has an awesome case wich has a battery in it for on the go charging which is awesome for me.

Great. Now I want one.
I have two my main one is a plantronics voyager pro which i absolutly love, and when it dies i have some jabra one.
I have motorola h17 and works great with n1 and the good is that h17 is not always on with the phone only when you need it ....
I have had zero issues with my Icon. I've used it in the car and turned the volume up pretty loud on the radio while talking and didn't have any issues, and neither did the person I was talking to...
The Icon is much much better than all prior Jawbones...
I'm not sure why you're having an issue with the volume? Maybe try different ear pieces to make it fit better so the sound will enter your ear better?
motorola H 790 crystal talk
stereo bt headset
I've had my ht820 for about 3 years. Still working great with every phone I've had, from win-mo to android. Calls come in clear, and you can be heard pretty well, even outside, although the wind does bother at times, but that should be true of most headsets.
After an hour or so the back of your ear starts to bother. Other than that they work pretty well. I usually use it for excercise or around the house (when its not connected to the laptop or ps3)
I have the Motorola S9 and Jabra BT620s... and both work brilliantly with the N1... no connection issues... full A2DP audio streaming... clear in-call voice... Though I like the S9 better since it's easier to carry and is sweat-proof!

Bluetooth Headset

Looking for a Bluetooth headset that is good for an active lifestyle (running, lifting)...
so far the only one that i have found that seem ok are the motorola S9..
just tired of having my current headphones constantly fall out when im running or lifting.
any advice would be greatly appreciated.. thanks
I like my RocketFish RF-MAB2... Work great and battery life is waaayyyy better than the S9's
Thanks .. ill have to check them out

Whatever you do don't get the Sony V110. Battery life is abysmal and often when I use it the person I'm talking to complains they can hear themselves (bluetooth mic is picking up what they say).
I personally have the Blue Ant X5 stereo headphones... They're too awesome. Fantastic battery life, superb sound quality, right ear controls for volume, pause, answer, and next/previous track, and a usb Mic dongle if you're also gonna use it for calls. Found on occasion on ebay for $30-$50 when you're lucky, package include the headset, dongle, 2 batteries, and a bluetooth stereo adapter for sound systems etc.
netimes.com has a lot and their very high quality and very cheap also so you could order about 3 so you can try them out and fing the one that you like the most but they are from china
oh btw.... while riding a motorcycle, fits perfect with the helmet too
Nice.. thanks for the responses. I'll probably pick one of these up in the next month or two off amazon with those valued opinions gift cards ( I'm cheap haha)

I have the same. I love them. Been using them for a year. I get two days of 9 hour listening before I have to charge.
Since someone brought it up... Parrot SK4000 is awesome if you are riding a motorcycle...
i highly recommend the Jawbone icone headset, its perfect and has great battery life and also work well with all phones even this one
I just pciked up a Morotola HK210, and it's been great for me so far.
The thing that drew me to it was its size (smallest at the store I was at), as well as the fact that its color matches the Inspire.
Syncing was painless, call quality is well, about what I'd expect from a bluetooth headset.
I haven't had it for very long though, so I can't say much more about it.
Jawbone + custom earpiece = awesome
I use the Jawbone Era (sounds great with the phone and absolutely no static). To hold it in place, I had a custom fit earpiece made at Avery Sound. They send a mold you place in the appropriate ear, you send it back to them and in a week or two you get a rubber earpiece custom fitted to your ear and your Bluetooth device.
Yes, it is pricey - it runs about $80 for the earpiece. But I need nothing else - this just stays put in my ear and it is hands-down the most comfortable headset I have ever owned. I have been to the gym a number of times with it, and no issues whatsoever. Plus, with the sound directed into your ear canal better than the stock earpiece, I hear much better with this.

Jawbone icon headset.. its real awesome i highly recommend it
jawbone. only way to fly.
I would be careful though as the inspire has iffey bluetooth performance. Many times putting the phone in your pocket can make the audio break up. Had it happen on 4 different inspires on more headsets than I care to think about. I can even make it break up if I hold the phone in front of me and cover the side cover where the volume rocker is. The point being, dont go out and spend a ton of cash only to be disappointed in the performance. I use my bluetooth every day with a jvc head unit in the car, but it was unusable with the headset as I always put my phone in my pocket
so im not the only one who things the bluetooth on this phone is oddly bad... I thought it was just my imagination
I recently got a Jawbone Icon Thinker and like it so far. It is shorter than the older models and fits securely in my ear. The battery life isn't the best but it works well for me.
I've got several bluetooth headsets (I keep losing them and buying a new one and then finding them again). Here are three I can find right now and one I have no idea where it is:
Samsung WEP 870 - This is a really good performer. It seems to have optimal range, sounds good, has A2DP and the volume rocker has both up and down. Micro SD charging slot so you don't have to use a special charger.
Samsung HM 1000. This is a decent performer, the range doesn't seem as good as it might be but it's reasonable. The volume rocker has both up and down. Micro SD charging slot. It does NOT have A2DP so it's my "backup" for just phone calls.
Jabra Extreme2. This is a great performer. It has optimal range, sounds great, has A2DP and a volume rocker with up and down. Micro SD charging slot. Right now this is my favorite.
Plantronics Savor M1100. I can't find this one right now<G>. A nice unit, has reasonable range, sounds good, has A2DP and a micro SD charging slot. However, the volume rocker only goes one direction so you have to go by increments to the maximum level then to the lowest level to change it. It does have a pretty good voice command recognition feature.
All of these have various "voice command" or other features that I never use. The Savor voice command feature was particularly easy to use though, it had to be to get me to use that feature.
As far as staying in your ear goes, I find that's more dependent on the form of the gel that goes into your ear. I like the ones with a loop above and below the ear, they fit in well and don't make the ear hurt so much if you wear it for a long time (if you get a good fit). One of these (I think the Jabra) had one that was kind of a "hook shape" on the top of the gel and that worked best of all.

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.

[Q] need good bluetooth headphones for my n4

i need a good pair of bluetooth headphones (music and voice) for ny n4. I tried out over the ears and didnt like the pressure on my head. i tried the lg tones 7 and 8 series and either the bluetooth didnt work well or the audio quality wasnt great. i want to try the infinium, the new lg tones but cant justify to pay that much for similar types of headsets on thr market.

Any BT that uses apt x codec will sound great for being bt headphones. The jaybird x are nice as they support apt x. As well as many of the LG tone headphones. I know the Tone 730 I used sounds great for music. I wonder if your old phone did not have apt x support. Not all of them do. What price range are you looking at?

i have the z10 currently therefore i am estatic to get my n4
my budget is up to 100 but the more cost effective, the better so i can spend more on other accessories!
I have own the jaybirds x for a while now. Couldn't be happier with them. Sure they are a bit expensive but in my opinion worth every penny. My backup pair is the Motorola s10. The range is awesome on them. I could run a 1/8 mile track and never lose signal with my device.
I love my jaybirds bluebuds x they have amazing sound
The jay birds are the best, i found the next best at a fair price to be the Plantronics backbeat 2 to be the next best thing. Great sound good range and small footprint. People have claimed poor battery life. I avagerage about 5 to 6 hours of constant use. They claim 4 to 6 from the company i believe. Can be purchased around 50 dollars.

I've tried two models of the LG Tone with my Note 2. At times they sounded horrible, and also frequently cut the microphone out; the people on the call thought I hung up but I could still hear them but they couldn't hear me. That seemed to be a software issue on the Note 2. And it also got to where the headphones were staticy or went out even though they were only 2 feet from the phone. A reboot 90% of the time fixed those problems for a while.
So far I haven't experienced that with the Note 4 thankfully.
I have a pair of these under the anker brand. Not bad for only 30 bucks that I paid for them.
http://www.amazon.com/VicTsing-Blue...qid=1413976840&sr=8-1&keywords=atpx+bluetooth
But i know the jbird x sound much better then these. Do you have to have bt headphones? Maybe get a cheaper set for working out and a better set like these?
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00HUNUOJW/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o08_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I have these and they are great for the price.
I think my next headphones may be something like the samsung Level on set. Just waiting for a better price on them.
For those with the Jaybirds, how is the battery life?
AS long as they don't cut out/mute when wifi is on.. Had that issue with my Note 3 and LG HBS-750
I got the jaybirds. Love them. I've never ran them completely out of battery before charging, so I don't know the exact battery life. Have gotten over 5 hours many times though.

I want something unintrusive, to take advantage from android wear to actually control the device: so earphones, sound quality and almost no cable... right now the only thing I found are the Jaybirds.
JasonJoel, may I ask how fares the mic and noise cancellation system? The only complaint I've ever heard is about poor voice in-call!
I think the noise cancelation is pretty good. The mic quality is ok, but not great.

I just purchased the Plantronics Backbeats 2 about 3 days ago. Had never seen them but I went into Vzn to look for Note 4 accessories and saw the last pair hanging. I thought to myself, WOW only one pair....that's a good sign, right? lol. Anyway, I have to say I am satisfied with the sound quality. I love the pouch & fact that it is a on the go charger as well. I had plantronics before as a bluetooth earpiece about 10yrs ago and that was a good device way back then. I have issues with finding the proper sized buds to use. Oddly enough the large ones work best as fully plugging my ear for best sound quality. I am still gonna try Sammy' s Circle Gear though.

Thanks! I have the Platronics Backbeat Go 2, but the ear tips are terrible. There isn't any Comply Foam I can order either. No budget earbuds seem to have better fit and audio quality than the good old Klipsch S4a. I'll definitely pick these up to use with my Klipschs.

Best Bluetooth headset you can recommend

Im looking to buy a new headset.
Im talking a lot on the phone in my work and beside that im doing sports and heavy music listening.
So, what can you recommend? I really care for the quality and i was thinking about the Sony hbs5X... Any recommendations about any of those or anything different?
I own Sony SBH50 and it's absolutely great, I can't find a weak point. Maybe I'd like a better battery life, but on the other hand battery is never enough. I think that SBH52 adds waterproof and HD voice, but audio quality of SBH50 is already great.
Thanks, what do you think about the 54?

I have an SBH52 and love it. Works great with the Note 4 and very convenient being able to answer calls (and see who's calling) without touching the phone. There are lots of add-ons in the Play store as well that allow you to view text messages and gmail messages etc right on the screen of the SBH52 (and other Sony headsets).

I didn't know about SBH54 until a few days ago. I think it's the SBH52 "rebranded", I do not see any striking differences. If I had to buy a new bluetooth and was not on a tight budget, I'd definitely buy it. Right now, SBH50 is just fine for me.
For me. the main reason for buying it was the FM radio. What I'd really like to see in one of those is some presets for the FM radio, so we wouldn't have to search our favorite stations all the time.
i still just use the LG HBS-730
and still hd voice too with own eq settings and vibrate when getting a call
also battery life is pretty great and charges about 30 mins from dead
I'm using Plantronics Explorer 500 and i'm very happy.

I don't use Bluetooth Headset for Music. For calls, I tried many and finally settled on Plantronics Voyager Edge finally. Nothing that's available in India beats it in terms of use in noisy, windy conditions. 6hr talk time maybe less for some but for me it's enough since I usually have the charging dock handy to recharge it quickly.
Plantronics Voyager Legend.
I absolutely love my Plantronics Voyager legend. Everyone always compliments me on the quality of sound, it's comfortable...and I've worn it on all day conference calls. Great battery life. Recharges fast.
Get the charging case, it's essential.
BlueParrot B250-XT Plus is hands down the best headset available !
it's big and a little bulky but is amazing ! i've had bluetooth headsets
for the last 15 years and this is the best !

I own the LG Tone Ultras with retractable earbuds. They're great I recommend them 100%.

If you do a lot of sports and music on a go kinda thing then SQ isn't the #1 priority! Sweat resistance, secure fit and durability gotta be on top of your list! Nothing beats Plantronics BackBeat Fit in these aspects, absolute king of sporty headsets! SQ is just decent/good, can be slightly better if you buy JBL's extratips! Calling (phonecalls and VoIPs) is just fine! Here's the link from amazon to check users' reviews and find these JBL tips as well amazon. But buy it refurb from eBay, they are in 40-55$ range! Good luck

Agreed. BlueParrot makes the best noise cancelling microphones period. Truck drivers swear by the 250. My old boss says he uses the 250 in his motorcycle helmet and no one can tell hes flying down the highway. They have a 350 now that uses microusb to charge and the firmware can be upgraded. I own the 350, it amazing. But neither of those models will work with exercising. They have other products, but out of my realm.
My current driver is http://www.plantronics.com/uk/product/voyager-edge.
I highly recommend it!
3 recommendations --
-- Plantronics Legend for workday when I'm at the desk on con calls
-- LG Infinim for during Golf or other activity. The nice thing with both LG and Legend is it allows 2 phones to be connect at once. I have a home cell phone and work cell phone, so this feature is critical. The infinim stays stays on my neck even with my wild golf swing.
-- For plane ride, Bose QC20. I didn't think it would make that big of a difference, but when you turn these on, the airplane engine noise disappears. This isn't bluetooth, but you can connect it to a BT receiver.
I am using samsung circle Bluetooth to me it's the best sounds experience and battery
Ps: I have 5 year using Bluetooth and the circles it's the best on my opinion
