Bluetooth earphones

Can anyone recommend decent BT earphone - not headphones for the Trinity?
I'm looking to replace the HTC headset so mic and remote would be extras but not essential.
Surely spending money on good BT earphones is more worth it than buying the USB to jack converter and good earphones - loads of wires!
Also, I assume the pairing only needs to be done once and BT listening to music, pausing for a call, and restarting all works a dream? I've never seen it in action before.

I'm happy with my Sony Ericsson HBH-DS970. Pair it once, and your happy. I don't use it for music though. I haven't found the sound quality to be good enough on any bt set, or wired set from a ppc yet.

stereo bluetooth headset
I'm very happy with my
I-Tech clips IIs
they works very well , but I was forced to install MSI blueplayer

I'm currently looking at buying the Plantronics Pulsar 590A.
It costs about $170 though.

I have 590a. They work great with my Trinity both for music and phone. And not that great with my laptop

I ordered today. How's the sound quality?

Not perfect but good to very good (not enough bass/treble). And you have to make some registry tweaks for best quality. I used fit4cat program to make them automatically for me.

HTweakC 2.1b or Hermes Tweaker v1.1a? I think you mean the HTweakC, right?

Bluetooth headset

Can anyone recommend which bluetooth headset is good? I want something that is able to listen to music and receive call. I just hate those cable when listening to music. Thank you in advance.

i have a Jabra BT530 (one of the few that support A2DP = music streaming) only con is that you cant skip track using the headset volume button. otherwise its a good one !

the problem is with the music player your using. use a different one and give it a whirl.... should work a peach. i use tunewiki or simply music (both free apps).

Just for test I bought this from ebay:
http://cgi.ebay.nl/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...163711&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT#ht_4192wt_911
It's a pretty cheap one from Hong Kong and it works perfectly (both calls and audio)! So I can imagine some other cheap BT headsets (with A2DP profile) will work as well.
Why that one you might ask. Well, in combination with € 3,- helmet speakers I have a complete working BT audio setup nicely tucked away in my helmet. For navigation etc on the motorcycle! All together for like € 10,-. A bit different than the € 200-300 they ask for BT sets built into a helmet!
There are BT headsets from $ 4,40 (around € 3,50), but I'm not sure they support audio over bluetooth. So you might want to look out for that!
But my estimation is that it can be done for around 10 euro's! Search on ebay for 'a2dp -dongle' and you might get some interesting hits!

i got the jabra street BT3030 today, bought from amazon.de
i am impressed, because it looks stylish, it worked from the beginning without any adjustments (using latest nightly of CyanogenMod, just start you bt-headset, open BT settings in your phone, add JABRABT3030 pin 0000), the headphones are really good (of course no comparison to expensive sennheiser) and the microphone is very good (i am phoning during this post ). And i like the fact, that you can buy some other headphones with 3,5mm pin and use it.

Depending on the use of the bluetooth headset, another suggestion could be something from Jaybirdgear.com, like the Sportsband 2. It's a lot more pricy than the others, but if you don't like the in-ear style, and even wants to listen to music while in the shower, yes I can confirm that they are able to do this without getting broken, these might do the job for you
But ofc, if running, sweating and getting wet while listening to music ain't your thing - don't buy em, as they are rather pricy.

I use a pair of Sennheiser MM400 headphones. Absolutely brilliant sound quality, plus it has a mic and next/back/play/pause buttons. I can confirm that the controls work with the Desire, cause it has AVRCP.

Normal earphone works?

Does normal earphone works on the i9000 as a handsfree?
I tried, but seems not working.

No, all iPhone compatible headsets with mic are not working on Galaxy S.

thanks!
I guess i'll have to stick with the one that comes with the phone for now then...

My one just died on me after 1 week.all I did is do some cardio and the right wire disconnected.
I didn't like it anyways. Is there any other higher quality ones from samsung? Any recommendations?

I refer you over to the other headset thread. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7350178&postcount=22 Samsung Genio one works.

wires breaking apart is the reason why i switched to Stereo Bluetooth headsets

Is bluetooth headsets good in terms of sound quality?

yes, but it depends on the brand and model
for example Motorola HT820 sounds great but the Motorola S9 sounds like garbage
same thing with Sony, Jabra, Plantonics, etc.
google up the models you have in mind, and read their reviews.

based to the original headset, does the bluetooth headsets have the same quality or is it worst/better?
Im really fussy when it comes to sound quality..but the original headset sound is passable.

i'm a moderate sound/music enthusiast, but by no way fanatic that i must have the best sound quality any device can offer.
so, i'm comfortably happy with the bluetooth headsets, the ones that are like studio type, those are the only ones that offers decent sound quality, but overall of all the ones i've used and tested, the Motorola HT820 is the best, unfortunately that model is no longer in production.
now, if you are a little above me, and you must have near perfect sound quality, then it'll be better to stick with a studio style wired headset
i've yet to find a superbly good bluetooth that can beat a wired headset.
however the sound from the bluetooth HT820 from Motorola is comparable to a wired Sony MDR-7506 or those alikes, but nothing that can beat a SCHNEIDER

With this headset you can use your own choice of headphones with the adaptor - winner - I dont use the Samsung ones.

Just tested the headphones and I think that I either I got a faulty unit or I damaged mine beacuse the audio jack does not fit properly, so I get mono sound, buzz, stereo sound, buzz, no sound :-(

[Q] Which BT headset with caller id and phonebook??

Hi,
I am using Jabra BT 8010 Stereo bt headset last 3 years, and I am very happy with this ... As stereo headset is not very good, but you can use it as headset
only for speaking... It has two very good things - caller id and phonebook on little
display..
I would like to buy new headset, with same functions - CALLER ID and PHONEBOOK,
does anybody knows any newer headset with this functions...
I am searching all over internet and ebay, and didn't find anything..
Thank you very much,
best regards

Nobody knows?

Have you considered BlueAnt? I have just ordered the Q2. http://www.blueant.co.uk/q2/index.php
Note that they have cheaper products. Both the Q1 & Q2 have a Android app built in offering additional features.

Have you looked at the Sony Ericsson mw600? I have one and its pretty damn good, quite cheap now too...

Great bluetooth reciever on Amazon!!

Hiya folks. this is my 1st post. so i thought i'd turn you onto this great bluetooth receiver i got from amazon. Since this is my 1st post, i can't post the link. but here's what to look for...
Sony Ericsson Hi-Fi Bluetooth Stereo Headset with FM Radio
& i included a pic too.
I needed a bluetooth that'll allow me to listen to music as well as make & take phone calls. plus i needed bud style since i can not have them in both ears at work. this has worked out so well that i may buy another one, just as a backup.
This allows for me to use any headphones i want (didn't like one it came with). sound quality is great!! plus fm radio built into the device, so i can listen to my morning shows, & save some battery... then switch on Pandora for the rest of the day & jam out!!
hope you find this as great as i do!!

I may be on the hunt for a bud replacement for my motorolas... this looks nice and sleek. Good find! Thanks!

Personally, I'm using the Jabra BT8010. It's a discontinued stereo bt headset, but it features a mini oled screen, built in equalizer, jog wheel, mini phone book, as well as takedown for mono bt mode.
check ebay for it. I use it and I love it.

I've got a Jabra BT3030 that looks like a metal dog tag and takes any 3.5mm set of earphones. They don't make them any more, but you can find them for cheap on eBay.
The only thing I don't like is its non-standard charger.

Yea..this this uses the same usb port as the g2.

have been using it for a few months and it works great
the only complain i have is the volume slider, it sucks so hard....
