Bluetooth Headphone?

I am just wondering what Bluetooth headphone you guys use on inspire 4G?
I am choosing between Plantronics Voyager PRO and Motorola Oasis, but dont know what I really want.

Plantronics....they just work!
I am using a Plantronics 245 which is a very inexpensive headset. I think I payed about $34 with taxes. I do not have any issues with it. Headsets are like cars - you can go from very cheap to very expensive and everywhere in between. - Glenn

Blue Ant T1. Not a big fan of vlingo, the free software for the headphone. It does the job withoutbraking the bank.

I use a Plantronics Voyager Pro. Works great. No issues.

I use the blueant Q2 with the motospeak app from the market ... Its by far the loudest bluetooth i have ever owned.... You can use motospeak with any bluetooth, but there is a trick. First go buy or borrow a motorola finiti (volume on it sucks btw) bluetooth, pair it with phone, download motospeak app from the market. Now for the important part DO NOT UNPAIR the finiti from your phone, as long as it is paired with the phone the motospeak app will work with any bluetooth. Now you can go trade in the motorola finiti for any bluetooth you like.

Not between the two you said but I would say get the Jawbone ICON
They have been the best I have used.

They are selling the Jawbone 2 for 10 bucks at dailysteals. Can't post link.
Don't work for them or anything, I heard good things about the headset and ordered one. Though you guys might like it. Add about $5 to ship though.

Jawbone Icon. Love it. I have owned two. Best earpiece out there.

I like my old Motorola S9's. They're behind the head wrap arounds w/ touch volume & track controls.

I use the voyager pro, I like it. I would recommend the icon though. It's less expensive and the quality is comparable. I paid 100, but have seen the icon for about half that.

How does noise/wind cancellation on recent bluetooth device? I remeber when I had really old moto bt headphone, HS850, my friend hardly heard me when I was running outside. After that, I did use any bt headphone.

The Icon comes with 5 or 6 different pieces to fit your ear. If it falls off easily then your just using the wrong piece. It also allows you to wear it with or without the over the ear hook.
I use an Icon for phone calls and a Plaintronics Backbeat for music and the occasional call. Both headsets are good in high wind situations. The Icon even works pretty good during a storm, though I don't recommend it (I've killed so many headsets that way).

I have the Plantronics Voyager Pro + and I got it brand new on eBay for 56 dollars. People need to use eBay more. -.- paying retail for everything... blasphemy

I got an Icon from Amazon eventually, its not that expensive, only $50. its small, lightweight, pretty good, except it doesnt have caller ID function offered by new Jawbone ERA.

I've got a jawbone ICON, love it. Worth way more than the $50 I paid on Amazon. I can have a conversation going down the highway with the windows in my truck with a straight piped diesel engine half down and still hear.
It does caller ID, just doesn't read the name, just the number.

Inspire 4G + Plantronics 903+
I've been using Inspire 4G paired with Plantronics 903+ headphone, mostly to listen stereo music. I'm having a lot of connection problems: sometimes the sound stops for less than a second and then continues (several times per minute), and in the worst case the connection just drops completly and I'm forced to pair the devices again.
I read some posts in the web warning about the same issues, but I couldn't find any solution for this. I even don't really know if the problem is the headphone or the phone itself.
Does anybody know a workarround to solve this? Thanks!

I use the Motorola H720 for my Inspire and for Skype. I prefer the ear loop to the in ear style for comfort during long use. It's relatively cheap and I can get almost 8 full hours of talk time. And it has proven to be very durable.

Help with spotify

I'm a new user to spotify and I have to say its an amazing app for music. I mainly use it for the gym. Id like to some how connect my phone to my reciever at my house to listen to it over my sound system. I also have a ps3 and thought I could do it that way but no dice. I have a couple of ideas on how to hook it up but don't want to start buying cable after cable and still not connection....any suggestions?

Does your receiver have aux in? Most do, just plug it into your headphone jack and into the front of your receiver (usually on the front).
Set the receiver to aux-in and voila
Simple cable, only like $5.

Hmm not sure i thought about that...it has dmport which I think is an ipod hookup....could I plug it in via hdmi?

What if you used a Aux to Audio In splitter (RCAs)? Does your receiver have audio an audio in connection which I believe all have?

I did think about that....and yes I do have audio in...I would prefer a digital connection...my reciever does have hdmi in...coax in and optical in. Maybe ill just try a cheap hdmi cable. Anyone have any success with an hdmi cable?

Can you even stream audio only via HDMI or is HDMI just for streaming video?

Hdmi is a combo of both which is why it became the standard over dvi....I'm on cm7 and I know people have had issues with hdmi out on their phone....I don't believe its supported in the rom
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA App

Don't know why you would prefer a digital in when you don't have a digital out. Unless the analog audio coming out of the headset jack is really poor, or you have a really long run, the analog would be just fine.
Digital will always add noise. It's advantage is it's ability to keep it's integrity over long distances and is worth the trade off over analog in those cases. If the HDMI transmitted the original unaltered digital signal to the reciever, it might be a plus, however, that is most likely not the case. It is most likely being converted in the process a few times adding noise. Plus the stream from the internet is most likely not high quality anyway.
I'd go with the analog and call it a day.

Well thank you for an informed answer....that's what I was looking for.....I will be doing some shopping tomorrow. I appreciate everyones input!

Glad to be of some help. I'll have to check out spotify!

Its pretty awesome....unless u have a music library of thousands of songs. Unfortunately over the years I have lost alot of music.....for ten bucks a month its worth it to have access to alot of things I havnt heard in years

Bluetooth car kit to play songs in car

Does anyone know any bluetooth carkit which will enable me to play my music from tablet, something which connects through bluetooth and sends the sound to radio via fm. I bougth one from ebay germany but i hear gitter sounds in high frequecy, while the usb/sdcard music reading from the device itself works pretty good. The thing is i am more interested to control the music from my tablet/phone via bluetooth than pluging a usb/sdcrad with music on it, as i have to update regurarly.

[Q] Auxiliary Audio Out Problem

Hello,
I just switched over to the HTC One S T-Mo version from the GS2. Phone is great has its pluses and minuses over the GS2 however I am having one little issue with my device.
Whenever I try to use audio out into my car stereo it does not work it plays through the phone speaker. I was wondering if there was a setting for that on the phone? I looked on everything option I could think of. At first I thought it was the cable, but I tested it on my friends GS2 and my Ipod as well and still works flawlessly. Then I thought it was the app( Google play) but I also tried with pandora and youtube and still no dice.
I used the search on here but came out empty, just wondering if you guys knew anything about this?
P.S. I tried two HTC ONE S's already both same thing.
Thank You

Not really and answer, but I tried using mine as well through aux input in my car, and same issue. I got a replacement from T-Mobile because the tech at the help desk said it shouldn't do that. I've tried 2 different cables in 2 different cars and same result. Sound through One S speaker. Really annoying. I had the Sensation which worked fine but not sure why this phone will play through the headphones but not through car speakers.

I agree that's how it should work. When I have my head phones in, I get sound through the head phones, but when I use it through my car stereo(I've tried 2 cars, 2 different cables) the sound comes through the one s speaker not the car speakers. All my other phones have worked the right way but this continues to play through phone speaker. Weird. This is my 2nd one s. I returned the 1st because of this very issue. Thank you.

Auxiliary Mode
My car stereo has an AUX mode that I have to manually switch it to when I want to play music from my phone through my car speakers. I noticed that some devices will switch my stereo into that mode, where as my One S will not. I suggest that you check and see if there is a way to manually enter this AUX mode from the stereo as that may be something that you never noticed because its been doing it for you this whole time.

Thank you. I have manually put it into aux mode and still one s speaker. I am going to try it in my Toyota today and see if it works. Hopefully not 0 for 3. I just wasn't sure if there was a setting on the one S I'm missing. Just seems weird that it's my 2nd one s and 2 different cars and 2 different wires.

I am now officially 0-3. I tried it in my Toyota and still sound through one s speaker not through car speakers. Not sure where to go next. Thank you for your suggestions.

Are those stock radios in both vehicles? If not what model of radios are you connecting your phone to.

Yes. All 3 are stock. 07 mercury, 10 Toyota and 12 Ford. All using different cables. Maybe return the phone again? Thank you.

There is an app on the market that will force the sound through the auxiliary output. I forget the name, you could try that.
So it works for headphones?

That's the strange thing. Headphones work fine. Even the beats comes on. Weird issue.
Sent from my HTC VLE_U using xda app-developers app

Try SoundAbout from the market. While it's not an official fix it should get your desired result.

If it works with headphones then I don't think your phone is the problem, it just doesn't make any sense. Set the radio to AUX, start the music on the phone and plug it while its playing, see if that works. I am at a loss.

I did that as well,I could hear the static "pop" through the car speakers when I plug in the aux jack, but it just continues to play through the phone speaker on all 3 cars. Thank you.

You can definitively say that the cables you have tried work, you have use those same cables with an iPod or some other player, right?

Yes. I had a galaxy s3 and sensation before this and they've both worked through these same cables. Thank you.

So I called htc and the woman I spoke with said I need a cable that is certified to work with one s. But she couldn't tell me any. Does anyone know of a special 3.5 mm aux cable for our one s? Thank you.
