[Q] Opinion: FM transmitter or new car stereo with AUX? - AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL

Since I finally got a high end android device that had enough memory for me to have all the apps I wanted, I find myself listening to Slacker Radio a lot. I'd like to be able to use it in my car but I have an old radio with no AUX capabilities. I could either go with a fm transmitter or a buy a new stereo that has AUX. But I only have one power source so the fm transmitter would need to have a 1amp usb port so that I can charge my phone while I listen to me.
What do you guys recommend? A fm transmitter with a usb port or spend more money and get a new car stereo with AUX?
Any product recommendations for either one?

I personally would like to recommend a new radio with aux and quite possibly a USB port. I currently have a Pioneer AVH-P3200BT, just to give u an idea. In my opinion, FM transmitters suck. Sound quality and fm interference are downers.

That's a little bit out of my price point and more than what I need. I don't need the screen. I'm thinking my limit is around $150

I know you mentioned your price point is around 150. 20 bucks note you can get a stereo with Bluetooth media streaming and that's the best sound you can get besides USB. just stream from your phone to the stereo via Bluetooth

I can go up a bit more. I guess I'll got with Pioneer and get one that has bluetooth. Would that allow me to pause and skip the next song using the stereo buttons without having to do it on the phone itself?

I think I like the Pioneer DEH-P8400BH and its less than $150 on Amazon

Definitly bluetooth!

Any other brand recommendations?

Everything else was more expensive so I went with pioneer. Will report back once I get it

Streaming over FM kills the sound. Bluetooth is MUCH better. Good luck!

Surprisingly, I use a full size sony headphone with ear cushion and notice no decline in battery charge compared to the out of box ear buds. The sound is much better and not too cumbersome. Price? ,,,about $40 but usable on the home stereo also.
i use a pair of meelectronics m11+ that has an inline mic control, these can be picked up for around 30-40
I got a pair similar to the oem headphones, off of Monoprice for a few bucks. They have a half dozen to choose from.

I found the OEM headphones quite terrible sounding. Now I an using UE TripleFi 10vi. It's very natural sounding and it takes advantage of the wolfson WM8994 DAC with voodoo 6 control & audio kernel by supercurio.
Yeah amazon has the best deals for headphones. As long as the title says OEM your good to go. I was about to buy a pair but I'll just wait till my current ones die out on me from sweat or the plug in messing up like all my other headphones. They've lasted quite a while though.
I use the black berry premium that have the music controls on them. However the music controls only bring up your calls list and dial your last number called. Sound is great.

Yeah, the stock Epic 4G headphones are pretty dope on their on... With Voodoo Control. Funny that I ignored them for the first month and a half thinking they were crappy. Wasn't until I checked on forums like this did I see people post positive feedback on them.
I use the headphones from an my touch 4G

What price is braking the bank for you. I could offer up a recommendation for your price range.
Believe it or not I got a pair of skull candies from fred meyer on sale for only $8 and they re great. The stock headphones have a mic though for answering calls. If you just want to jam though, get some skull candies on sale. They are awesome

I have the skullcandy ink'd earbuds. They have awesome bass for earbuds if you listen to music and you can get the ones with the mic, which I have. They come in a variety of colors and are available at about any store for $20. I got mine on Amazon for like $7 though.

Seriously i have got'em skullcandy! They just rock; the quality is crystal clear, i don't think any other brand can break it! But they are expensive too
How much are you wanting to spend is what will determine answers. Give us a budget.

I have Altec Lansing BackBeat Titanium 326 which I bought a little over a year ago. Awesome sound, good fit! The only downside is the cord is cloth- covered but I am use to it now. At time of purchase I paid about $30, a quick search shows they went up in price. Good luck!
New earphones
I lost my earphones that were bundled with LG Optimus One P500 & I need new ones (with mic) that fit into the following parameters:
1. under INR 500.
2. durable
3. with button that can change tracks in music player & change radio stations alongwith facilitating picking up calls.
4. decent music quality
5. Will a earphone with volume buttons work with this phone?
Wiling to expand budget if the pair is really deserving
If a guarantee is not clear, but if not, just Ebay problem.
skullcandy are overpriced for the sound quality they product, imho.

Hi mate,
I am using these ones Kinivo BTH220 Bluetooth Stereo Headphone already more the a year. All I can say the sound is truly amazing. The quality is good as well. Work time is very long and they are very comfortable. Also me useful buttons on the sides. Just go to Amazon and search for them Kinivo BTH220 Bluetooth Stereo Headphone. I bough them when they costed around 19 pounds. Didn't experience any issue while using them.

THX for your response. I have checked the ones you suggested but they seem to be a bit small for my big head.
In addition, I was looking for something more serious, around 50/70 £.

I'm using my old Nokia Bluetooth Headset BH-503 ever since. True that I've experienced a few millisecond delay. But it's not really a big matter. Works great and sounds perfectly.
