Stereo bluetooth for music & occasional calls - HTC Desire S

I don't want to spend more than $50 (Rs. 2500). I came accross Sony MW600 and Samsung HS3000. Desire S doesn't have APT-X codec (HS3000's main strengths). Even if I upgrade to another phone, I will soon root and use custom rom which will remove that advantage since APT-X is proprietary. How both these devices compare with Desire S ? I am planning to use my own headphone instead of stock headphone. Or is there any other better suited ?

I'm currently using (listening to music) my Nokia Stereo Bluetooth Headset BH-503. I also use it for calls too. No problems here. my other one is a Nokia Stereo Bluetooth Headset BH-505 lying on the table and that one works perfectly as well.

I also came across SAMSUNG HM3700 & Samsung WEP870. They can be used as a standard bluetooth headset over the ear or could just plugin headsets to listen to music. Which of these are better ? Or is there anything similar and better out there ?

Im using mw600. It works good but doesnt show trackID ON STOCK rom & cant fast forwoard.

Using Nokia BH504 bluetooth headset and very happy with it. Mostly listening to music while running or in the gym. Very good build quality, and although i tend to sweat a lot while running, everything is working. Using it for almost two years now.

Philips headphones or headsets compatible with i9000

As you all know that using 3rd party headphones with standard 3.5mm jack has always been an issue with the i9000. I just found out today that my 5 years old Philips SBC HS520 headset works fine with the i9000, amazing sound quality comparing to the stock headphones or even some of the entry level Senheiser. Bare in mind this headset was really cheap and the bass is more than adequate for linkin park. What I would like to discuss is that if anyone else has found any headphones that is good quality and works well with the I9000?
Im using Philips SHH1112 adapter and it works great together with my Sony NUDE earphones. The Sony works well too when connected to the galaxy directly.
There's a super cheap adapter that I've been using with HTCs.. Doesn't work here. I suspect its a size tolerance issue.

For normal audio any head(ear)phone with a 3.5mm jack will work. The problem is getting the mic working on a call. I have used numerous in ear earphones, a headphone, a PC speaker system, the auxiliary input of my car Audio system, etc.. they all work. But have to take them off to make a call, unless I use an adapter with a built in mic (i.e Nokia AD-54 or a Bluetooth headset).
That's not the case - every standard headphone I've used works perfectly fine. Maybe you are referring to head/earphones with mic...
Anyway - I use the creative ep-630 and music sounds fantastic. You can pick these up for under $20...

Which bluetooth headsets work with the Optimus One?

I'm not sure which headset to buy since my Nokia bt-104 doesnt detect the phone...
I have this one http://www.jabra.com/Sites/Mobile/UK-UK/Products/Pages/JabraCLIPPER.aspx
works like a charm!!
I have successfully used over the years a Nokia BH-600 bluetooth headset with various phones (Sony Ericsson, Nokia, iPhone) and now with the Optimus One. Very good sound quality (both receiving and transmitting), long stand-by and talk time, perfect pairing with all the phones I mentioned above. It gets a bit uncomfortable if you wear it for extended periods of time - which you may since it's so light that you forget you're wearing it. 4+ years of usage and still going strong.

Mine BH-503 work perfect on P500. Maybe the sound is set to 0 on the phone or on the heatset? Try putting on some volume on both of them

nokia bh-503 perfect!
I bought the BH-503 last week. The sound was awesome, with every phone except my O1 . There was like a fuzzy sound in the background :/ Does anyone know how to eliminate this? I sold the headset to my friend.
I use Noka bh-604 with p500. Works without problem.
I have one question to those who bought their Bluetooth headphones for music. How do they compare in terms of sound quality to a pair of in-ear headphones? I'm asking because I'm aware that the P500 is a little noisy when using internal ones comparing to a dedicated mp3 player, such as Samsung P3 and I'm curious about either the noise on BT headphones or other sound issues with those. Is the frequency response as it should etc etc?
Thanks.

Personally, I feel that the noise is even worse when being used through a bluetooth headset. I tried some wired Philips headphones which sound great on my iPod, but they feel kind of slightly "screechy" with my O1.
Any wireless device is normally more noisy than the wired equivalent.
I am using a s9-hd copycat from dealextreme and works well.

I'm using quite old SonyEricsson HBH-DS205 from times I used to have SE G900 and to be honest I'm more than surprised that this headset still works flawlessly.

In car bluetooth - fm transmitter

Hi, I am turning 16 this week, and I am looking for a way to get music from my thunderbolt to play in my impala, which does not have a 3.5 headphone jack. Does anyone know/recommend a good bluetooth-fm audio transmitter?
Sent from my rooted s-off Thunderbolt
I use a Jabra Cruiser in my work van. It works fine, but you definitely lose some sound quality when playing music. It sounds kinda like AM radio. I use it mostly for talk radio podcasts and I really don't notice any quality difference there.
Motorola T505 works pretty good.

I also have a MotorolaT505 MotoRokr which works fine. Like the first poster I generally am listening to podcasts, so the sound quality is not as critical as for music. I would tend to buy from a local retailer and try it out, so it is easy to return if it doesn't meet your sound needs.
I'll send a dittos to the above-mentioned Moto T-505. I used to play my music with this same set-up in a tractor-trailer and my BlackBerry 8320.
As with any wireless connection, you would have 2 wireless connections here by the way, one from phone to BT unit & another into car's stereo, so there's the possibility of interference and sound degradation. IMO, it worked fine. And the connection does work. The real question is whether or not it is of good enough listening quality for you.

+1 for the t505
cheap ($50) and works decent. its an easy way to get bluetooth music and calls on your stereo without installing an adapter or new headunit. Suprisingly the FM transmitter even works decently in DFW area where there are no free frequencies... now you ar4e not going to get CD quality sound but it is better than nothing.

Installed that in my car, works pretty damn well. Gives you an aux input jack, but instead of transmitting OTA to FM, it plugs directly into your antenna on the car stereo, so it's much more clear.

[Q] Bluetooth Question

How can I make the music play through my headset?
Depends what quality you want.... a2dp bluetooth headsets will do this no problem, and with good quality. If you have a basic bluetooth headset, grab super mono froyo or bt mono from the market. It will "hack" audio streaming to your bluetooth. I use it everyday for podcasts. I easily get 8+ hours battery life on my headset as well ( just a plantronics voyager). I bought an a2dp headset that really sucks (jabra stone 2) only gets like 1.5 hours.

Weren't people complaining about bluetooth?

I got a new stereo system for my car with bluetooth built in and was worried it wouldn't work well with my One X judging from all the complaints. Needless to say it works flawlessly. The audio quality is the same as direct AUX input and it just worked. What were all the complaints about bluetooth about?
Sent from my HTC One X using Tapatalk 2
The problems I had was that bluetooth would randomly disconnect occasionally, and sometimes when I started the car it just wouldn't connect. The random drop outs didn't happen often but it did happen. I have two other Android phones that do not have this problem. I haven't had any drop outs since I updated though so it may be fixed.
That's crazy. Mine has worked flawlessly so far. Has anyone else not had any problems?

I would guess that HTC has certified A2DP on your new stereo? What model did you get? On my Sony mex-bt2800 (bought it about 3 or 4 years ago) when I pair my One X there is no Acoustic Profile for it on HTC's bluetooth stack so the phone defaults the bitpool to 32 bits causing the tinny sound you can really hear it on Cymbals sounds like your listening to a 96kbps mp3. On the AOSP Rom's like CyanogenMod they use the bluez bluetooth stack which uses a higher bitpool of 53 giving me perfect playback on my stereo.
That's basically what all the hub bub is about. If you tell me what stereo you got I may just go get me one myself so I can get this issue behind me.

Interesting, I only listen to podcasts over A2DP in the car. I have a Kia Soul 2012 with the Microsoft based UVO infotainment system. I haven't noticed any issues but I might not since as I said it's most ly podcasts. I'm going to try and push some music on it tomorrow and see how it good it sounds.

With my experience, it depends on the car or head unit manufacturer. Some function better than others. Some play with smartphones better than others.

Holy ****, i need your device info!
I work at an electronics store and have access to a cde133bt, its one of the stereos I tested my phone on.
The results are the same i've had on every other stereo, it starts to cut out after moving not even 15 feet away.
It's so bad in fact, that if i am standing right next to the stereo and I put myself between the phone and the stereo, it drops instantly.
Emailed/Called HTC, no response or solution.
Can you post what carrier youre on, android version, software version, custom roms(?), have you flashed or updated your phone with anything?

AT&T One X. Unrooted and on stock firmware. I got the stereo today and didn't change a thing on it. Simply turned my car on, paired my One X to it, and enjoyed that lossless bluetooth audio.

Bluetooth hooked up to my pioneer avic bt130 easily. sounds amazing (slacker,tune in, spotiffy, audio galaxy) with hertz audio mille components front and rear and 2 12w6s in the trunk. Jl hd 600/4 f/r and hd 1200 on the subs. I sometimes forget and think I'm on iPod (aac 256 & losless) input. Dumped all my mp3s..even the 320 bit rate. Used iTunes to convert everything with its best quality settings. Can't tell a difference from lossless. I love tha car mode with tune in. All though it would be better if I could choose the app. Have occasionally lost connection though. Not so much it's made me cuss yet.
Hox Bluetooth works crap with Cadillac SRX 2012, which was able to pair beautifully with the Dell streak 5 phone !
The OP seems incredulous or amazed that just because he paired with one stereo, and it works, that other people are reporting issues? Pretty broken logic. There are hundreds of different car stereo head units (not to mention many more hundreds of Bluetooth headsets, headphones, speakers, and other audio accessories) made by dozens of manufacturers all trying to make their units compatible with a slew of different phones. The Bluetooth standards seem loose at best, and its a bit like the wild west. As a previous reply noted, it completely depends on the brand and model of car stereo, some work better than others with the One X. And a stereo that works fine with one phone, may not work well with another.
Mine typically works well once paired, and sounds good (although once in a while it connects media only, no phone; or the skip controls on the car stereo do not work). But it does not auto-connect when I get back into the car. Its a pretty basic Bluetooth function that it should auto connects to a paired device, once it senses that device is within range and powered on. A look at the system files shows that Subaru stereo head units (as well as other car manufacturers) are blacklisted from auto connecting on the One X's Bluetooth stack.
I installed a new car stereo over the weekend that has bluetooth and my HOX connects and sounds great with it. But, like others the phone wont auto connect when I start the car. If I use the power control widget on my phone to turn off bluetooth and turn it back on it connects within seconds. Whats weird though is that both the phone and stereo will say its connected, but no audio will be played through the stereo until I turn the bluetooth off then on again on the HOX.
To be honest, this is not really a big deal to me because I only turn bluetooth on when I get in the car. So when I start the car and then I turn on bluetooth it connects fine. As long as I dont have bluetooth on before I start the car.
2010 Dodge Charger SRT8. The phone wouldn't connect no matter what I tried. I was going to wait for other roms to see if they could fix it, but the phone just caused me too many problems. It went back to best buy and I went back to a iPhone 4S and Lumia 900. Both of which work with my stereo perfectly.
Mine connects just fine to both my cars (a new Toyota Sienna and an old BMW with an aftermarket BT retrofit module). But it won't connect to my Motorokr headphones.
As someone said, this stuff is all over the map. It's not just HTC.
you only get lossless with bluetooth if you have the htc stereoclip.
