Hi Guys,
Xperia Z needs a bluetooth headset so that you don't need to pull out the flip cover to insert the headset jack, it will not remain waterproof with latches open.
Also please remember to buy the charging Dock for your Xperia Z !!
I have tried many bluetooth sets but none was perfect, either not good for music or clumsy n difficult to handle.
Then I came across this LG Tone HBS-700 and trust me its awesome.
1. Awesome sound quality (calling + music)
2. Form factor - very easy to carry.
3. Good battery.
4. Acceptable price.
NOTE: I AM SHARING THIS NOT BECAUSE ITS BEST FOR MUSIC BUT ITS BEST DAILY USE, ANSWERING CALLS, LISTENING MUSIC, ETC. THAT TOO AT A PRICE OF 40+ dollars !!

Don't worry about that. There's a great dock for Xperia Z as Xperia10.awesome mentioned. Also, replacing a cover that has been damaged will cost you 15 pounds so it's not such a big deal, and is certainly worth it with waterproof body.
Anyone has tried this?.

If you want cheap, go for sony mw600. I use them.
Why not buy a Sony?
The Sony Smart Wireless Headset Pro looks great^^
This one is the best choice for My Xperia Z )

The dock isn't included in every country.
Another vote for the mw600, although I am quite tempted to pick up the sbh20. I really like how Sony creates BT headsets that allow you to use your own earphones. Specifically, I love using my mw600 with my Shures.
Only qualm I have with mine is the volume control. Sometimes press it by accident, finicky at times.
I always LG TONE 700 just because its very easy to carry and comfortable, I hate carrying those extra addition coming with Sony MW-600
well the addition of the LG TONE 700 is actually bigger
Now we have Wireless Headset & Wireless charger, but how about Wireless data transfer between PC & Phone (for music, video, etc..)

it's a steal! 4 quid at most, including shipping
how about one of these:
way better (i guess) since allows you to charge the battery while listening mp3.
or the original one:

I've just bought one of those on ebay. I strongly reccomend not to get one with a wire, they just fall out and break
Hi Guys
I found that making one is easier. Just take your headset, open the mic housing with a knife, remove the headphones and solder a 3.5 jackplug in. In the pics here I used a Touch Dual headset...It has a volume control.

Hi Driskol
This one you are looking at will not work. There are of these adaptors availible for the HTC, But the one in the link you sent has a mini usb plug and not the HTC type...However that is exactly the ones I use to convert the standard headsets.
The standard MiniUSB has all its conections on the wide side of the connector, where the HTC connector has all the audio connections on the narrow side. see pic

he he..I´m very familiar with this procedure since I used Motorola phones for years It was the best way how to make own adapter ´cause I tried 4 stock motorola adapters and no of them worked properly so I did it my way
btw: mini usb from motorola doesn´t work on HTC for audio - it works only for data connection
I just received my order from http://cnn.cn/shop/audio-adapter-ext...ap-p-4118.html

i have the akg k370 whcih dont work with my SGS, since the order of the pins is differend (mic and ground are switched).
since i love that headset im looking for a working adaptor
i couldnt find any in the internet
so far i managed to solder my own from an old adapter which didnt use its microphone pin.
but since it looks...lets say...selfcrafted im looking for one that works that u dont have to cut open and change the pins your self (or add a wire as i did)
if u know of any working ones which use all 4 pins and switch ground and mic pls tell me where i can buy em...
Similar issue here. I have Dr. Dre Beats and from what I've found from reading through is that I need to switch the ground/mic wires? I can do this if necessary and can even get a nice job done of it, but wouldn't this break my headset for other phones/players?
Point being a nice adapter would be sweet.
I bought this one, http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=290460258359&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT
Still waiting it gets here.
Surely if the ground connection was different then no standard plugs/phones would work or does the phone dynamically change the ouputs on pins depending on what's plugged in (since it has to support tv out as well)?

got the same ones, they work fine.
those adaptors and the nokia ones work, but they make the cable too long besides considering that the headsets mentioned already has a mic and you add another adaptor mith a mic, its simpler to just have an adaptor that switches the mic and ground terminals around
so what i did is i made this

i took my nokia ad-57 adaptor, cut the wire, cannibalized a female 3.5mm 4pole from some generic adaptor, soldered the wire so that ground from the 3.5male is soldered to the second ring from tip. thus, simply, the female of the adaptor is wired like an iphone compatible, and the male is wired galaxy s compatible.
if you cant be bothered to diy, you can get this http://www.kvconnection.com/product-p/km-354r3m-r2f.htm
but at 18$ plus shipping, i just think it is too expensive, lol

damn, that's expensive. but I guess it'll be worth it to make my "expensive" headphones work, lol.
i found one on DX, comes with MIC so you can asnwer the phone and listen without taking out the headphones
waiting for it to arrive and test to see if it's compatible with SGS
I had to stick black tape around my mic button on the headphones I used to use on my iPhone, I kept the same headphones cause they were amazing sound and pricey and didn't want to chuck them away, Didn't realize it would be a problem lol, I want one of these adapters from a Uk store
Ordered an adapter from KVConnection, works like a charm! I think it's worth the price, considering I didn't have the time/tools/parts to make this by myself.

You can say that the adapter is good, perfect,excellent,nice,ok,etc but not worth at all 17$ for wires is pure stealing
I got a blackberry headset from my local street market. The earphones that came with it sound horrible, and the mic is a bit soft. There is no need to change anything however and the button works.
I'm planning on using it with the aux in of my car radio. With computer speakers it seemed to work (no echo). And it works well with a headphone.

^^ what he said
after buying some ceap nuvelli bluetooth headphones only to find out not only did it not work at all (would not power on at all) but they also barely even fit on my head and were not comfortable i returned them and bought the Sony DR-BT100CX's not only because of their price but because i have always loved the silicone padded ear bud style headphones for listening to music, they are of course not good if you need to hear outside sounds because they really do act as ear plugs but this should be known already if your looking into this type of BT headset.

so anyways. i will give these a 4.5 out of 5 rating with possibility for a 5 out of 5
as a nexus one user running CM 6.1 RC1 they work 100% flawlessly with my phone. even the play/pause and track forward/back buttons are fully functional and sound quality is just as good as a decent set of the same style wired ear buds. one of my favorite things about this style of headphone is the small size and incredible bass response and these do not disappoint in this area either.
i'm giving them a 4.5 pending a 5.0 rating based on the short battery life i experienced. this was no doubt due to the fact i did not have enough time to fully charge them up today before i left but at out of the box + 1 hr roughly of charge time the lasted about 2-1/2 hours of constant music use before they died. sony claims 8 hours of use time, not sure if thats realistic they read half battery when i took em off the charger today but that could be inaccurate so who knows. ill post back with my results on further use later.
as for range of use. i was able to get as far as 12' from my nexus and still had perfect sound but at that distance putting my hand over the "pod" unit (the main module with controls) would cause a drop out but they reconnected extremely quickly. with normal use i do not see range being an issue with these they have good range overall.
Battery life's fine, I haven't charged mine for ages and it still goes strong.
I also used to have a cheap BT headset but it sucked so much, ended up grabbing a pair of these instead. The fact that it needs somewhere to clip to is a bit annoying, but hey, quality. Sometimes it sounds too bassy, though.
yeah they are strong on the bass at times but i like my music that way most of the time. great to hear on the battery life, they are fully charged now so i will be using them today to see how they do. the dongle doesn't bother me its actually kind of nice because it makes it easier to access the controls on the unit
How do these fare pricewise to the Sony Ericsson MW600 Bt headset? I have the SE one and I have to say one of the best headsets I have used to date, and it has a FM receiver to boot! Batterylife on the MW600 is pretty decent as well, but the only flaw is the contact slider for the volume compared to this one which is a physical button.
Both looks good, but this one looks like it can take a bit more of abuse lol.

Hi,
Is there anyone who bought one of those aftermarket LG 3D dock's such as this one on ebay:
www.ebay.nl/itm/Dockingstation-Lade...gstationen&hash=item27c0562090#ht_1089wt_1139
www.ebay.nl/itm/Dockingstation-Lade...gstationen&hash=item35b632025e#ht_2326wt_1139
I'm wondering if they thought about the little piece of plastic covering the USB connector, a part from that it seems a pretty nice way to store the phone next to say you bed or on you desk.
Any thoughts?

Even though im a member since 2006, im not allowed to post links yet.
Update: nevermind, fixed
Bought it a couple of days ago.
- Yes, they thought about the USB covering.
- Unfortunately they forgot about the headphone jack. It's not accessible. To make it accessible you have to use a dremel or similar tool to cut away a bit of the rail which helps the phone slip into it's place.
- Two of my batteries sometimes lose contact when in the charger. Most times they charge well.
- The blue power indicator is very bright.
- Due to the phone's angle of 55° when in the stand the stand is best used on a desk when looking down on it from an angle.
Cool. Thanks, i connect my p920 to the stereo via bluetooth anyway, but thanks for the info!

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
the SDT-190 has no additional battery charger
it's more expensive
was hoping for the other dock to allow the phone wearing a gel case (it doesn't)
Ordering SDT-190 from LG Shop @ 16 Euro
PS. I just hope they will have it in stock.
And it has arrived - directly from LG Poland - took only 1 working day for the order to be processed and delivered by UPS.
Three pics as attached below.
Feels solid, heavy and of excellent build quality.
As you can see, it has two connectors: micro USB and micro HDMI
The phone's ports have those covers, which once you turn them 180 degrees hide into cavities which are located on both sides of connectors (on the dock).
Sliding into ports is easy and comfortable - no extra force or pressure is needed to place the phone into the dock - as well as no extra effort is needed to navigate the ports onto the connectors.
The cut you see on the left hand side is provided for the mini jack port (audio output), so that headphones or external speakers can be plugged in - yes we would prefer the audio port to be at the back at the dock, but this is good enough.
The USB port at the back enables us to charge the phone via USB cable (also works for connecting the phone to a PC as a USB mass storage) or the mains charger.
The docking station is ideal for everyday charging as well as watching movies, or YT
I believe it may also work as a stand when using a Bluetooth keyboard - one that I am waiting to arrive - excellent set up for typing vant numbers of emails and messages while away from our computer/away from home.
Overall I'm happy with the purchase, and I do think I would buy any other dock imitating the genuine original LG accessory.

Did your bluetooth keyboard work and what model did you use?
no it didnt work. only CM7 has L2CAP Bluetooth Protocol open/supported, and that's needed to connect the keyboard properly.
So I've sold it...
will this work?
any way to add bluetooth support?
http://www.thinkgeek.com/clearance/on-sale/e0e7/
you need to read the product description to see which OS it supports, or ask the seller.
you can't just turn the L2CAP protocol on just like that.

Have you seen this headset:
Looks great, and we can use any headphones we want with it.
Have any of you guys seen it ? No idea if it's been released already as I couldn't find it here.
Any sources, or opinions would be great.

Yes they do now thanks, this would be a very great thing!
Instead of worrying whether the BT headphones will be good enough, you can now use your own pair of headphones on a BT unit
I think I'll be getting this one for sure!
Any news about about the release date/price?
I updated 1st post with more info about it.
Bump!
Received mine today, was able to order them via Ebay, took about 2 weeks to arrive.
Was about 80$

Seems like they only have white left:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/GENUINE-Son...73353481?pt=US_Headphones&hash=item3ccf251c09
There are plenty on Ebay though between $85 and $100
What do you want in the review?

Yes, but they're all from Hong Kong... i don't trust those sellers, that's why I asked for the one you bought yours from
As for a "review", i need just a few simple things:
- How long does the battery last
- How long does it take to charge it
- Does NFC connectivity work without problems
- Does it work with other headphones attached to it
- Have you noticed any lags/stutterting during playback ?
- What's the actual range it works with ?
Cheers

Barely have it for 12h for now I can only answer:
- Does it work with other headphones attached to it
Yup, I use my Brainwavz M1
I will post a review in a week or something. Should be enough time to really test it out.
Apt x support?
No apt x support no care...
I want! Hope this is released in the UK soon.

This has been out since October or something, so it should've arrived in Europe already by now, since it hasn't I doubt it ever will.
Is there any reason (except for NFC) to prefer this one to the smart headset? Just wondering?

They both have NFC
One is already out
Not sure if you can change the headphones on the SBH20 (If you meant that one)
Works - DRC BTN-40K
All
Got mine from accessoryjack.com and arrived in the UK very quickly, excellent sound and in ear pieces. NFC works great and also Bluetooth, hand clipm to make hand free calls in car. Choice of sizes for in ear rubber pads included and charging cable.

Can you use your own earphones?
You can use your earphones on both BTN40K and SBH20
How does the sound quality compare to normal wired listening? Lets assume you have some really high quality ear buds, would using them on bluetooth make their high price tag a bit pointless?

For 95% of people there will be no difference as those headsets stream music over A2DP using high-quality formats.
