SE LiveView

Looks like something that can be made useful.
http://www.sonyericsson.com/cws/products/accessories/overview/liveview
Compatibility states Galaxy S specifically (along with their own phones that eh... can't possibly be called comaptible at the moment, as they don't run Android 2.x which seems to be a requirement for the gadget... )

It's particularily useful for us who have opted for a phone with a large screen, as we can access stuff without having to dig the phone out of the pocket.
From the press release:
The Sony Ericsson LiveView™ uses Bluetooth™ connectivity to wirelessly pair up to a compatible handset and allows consumers to control the phone without taking it out of their pocket or handbag. Read text messages, see incoming calls and keep up to date with the latest news on Facebook™ and Twitter™.
The Sony Ericsson LiveView™ allows the user to control the Sony Ericsson music [and presumably other players? - mickeko note] features of the handset from the micro display, selecting tracks and controlling volume. The product also serves as a calendar reminder, displaying calendar events and other phone applications.

It certainly looks interesting, and is the first real innovation I've seen by SE in a long time. My only gripe is that it isn't advertised as Waterproof (and probably isn't).
Pity, as that would have justified it's purchase by me, unless it's RRP is rediculously expensive

Nice device, but it would've been great if it had a 3.5mm headphone jack and a built-in mic, so you can use it as a BT hands free clip as well. , why did they left that part out

It has Bluetooth, no need wired accessories. The 3,5 mm jack takes more room and waterproofing that hole?

I might invest on something like this if it had BT headset functionality, otherwise its just a gimmick. Whats the point ?? If you are anyway going to have a wired headset then you can always get one with buttons to control calls and music. When you forget about music controlling, there is nothing much left. Read a RSS feed on a 1.3 screen when you have a 4" high res screen on your pocket or read a SMS on this tiny screen first and then take out the phone to reply
on the other hand if it acted as a BT clip it would in fact provide some functionality instead of being just a gimmick. BTW SE doesn't say this is water proof, so why would having a 3.5mm pose any problems ?

It is not waterproof.
I think that SE seems it primary as a wrist "watch". Do you really like to connect your wrist by wire to your headset? Every time when you swing your hand your headset is rolling around?
I might buy one, if the price is appropriate. I mean below 200 euros, it makes 2000 Swedish crowns.
They might make a S-version where is the 3,5 mm jacket, if the customers like to have that. Make a proposal to them.

No, definitely not as a wrist watch, maybe clip it to my shirt or something when listening to music.
Are you willing to pay upto 200 euros (275 USD) for something like that . Even an ipod nano 6th Gen doesn't cost that much (150USD ). And you can ware it as a watch too if you really want. For me a retail price of more than $75 doesn't make any sense, but still I wouldn't buy , perhaps if it comes down to like $50, then I would consider , but even then I hardly find any use for it, the time is displayed in very small numbers, and when it goes to sleep you'll have to wake it up by pushing a button to see the time, I don't see calendar or alarm functions, so its not even worth as a watch. Of course one might argue since the phone is in your pocket you don't need to have an alarm on that device, I'm just trying to find ways to justify it's cost, thats all..

no Nexus One compatibility ?

i wonder how long is the battery life on that thing
not being waterproof is already a big no no for me

I would think it will work on stock android 2.x. They might not test it on the nexus, but that doesn't have to mean it will not work.

I want one! If they are reasonably priced in Canada / US I will pick one up for sure.

As I recall they are about 59Euro's from Amazon germany. More expensive if from Amazon UK. I tried ordering one but they don't/won't send to AU.

I've bought one of these couple days ago for £50 off superetrader (MoDaCo Edition). I intended to use it mainly as music player control but that function doesn't work on SGS, you can control volume levels only. It's quite nice for checking incoming messages and tweets without taking your mobile out of the packet. Battery lasts about 12 hours but be aware that bt on your sgs is on all the time. Quite dissapointing is that only few apps on the market support it. I think i'm gonna sell it anyway.

Thats odd, it should support AVRCP profile (Audio/Video Remote Control Profile), and I have read somewhere that it does. Try with PowerAmp (which is better than the built in one anyways) or some other player. But built in player should work too.

Does this mean those poor souls using SE phones will finally see an update?

Yea this thing is available in France for 59e. As stated above though you can't controle the music yet, just the volume. I'm hoping this will be fixed because that's how i inted to use it, would be great to controle the music without taking the phone out of the pocket.
I thought battery life was better than 12h though...
Only thing i'm wondering about is battery consumption on the SGS itself...
and yea SE X10 are getting upgraded, 2.1 wooooooohoooooooo when 2.3 is comming out. What a shame, we complain about samsung but damn SE used to be top notch, what happened there?

I bought a sony ericsson mbw 100 instead. Battery lasts a week and the drain on bluetooth is about 5% of your battery. A negligible hit for the benefit you receive

I would have bought it if it had a mike built in as with a headphone without mike you have to use the Phones mike so will have to take it out anyway.
But if this had a mike it really could remove the need to take out the Phone.

Help Pls Req:-Cheap htc one S in ear (buds) headphones with mic and working remote ?

Hi Alllll , just got my new htc one S a few days ago , great phone , very happy etc , but the headphones that come with the phone would be great if they where ear bud / in ear type......ideally i would like a decent quality pair for around £5.00 - £10.00 with mic and remote suitable for working with my new phone
I have tried my old samsung galaxy 1 headphones , but alas the sound echo's , the mic works and the remote....
Any reccomendations welcomed but please ideally tried and tested

I take it your in the UK? If so for the price range your looking at your not going to get the sound quality you want or deserve for music.
Have a look in Argos for code 514/6062 (KitSound KS1 Colours In Ear Headphones With Mic - Black) for £15. My choice for your price range would be a trip to eBay for a set of HTC ear phones with Mic.

Hi Yes , i am in the uk thank you , its a shame the kitsound dont quote a remote , as i would like to use for hands free when i recieve a call.

As I posted, its down to your price range. Even if you where to get around £30-40 you would get a decent set with the functions that you require. A friend has a set but is away on holidays at the moment, when he returns I'll get some info on them for you and post it.

http://www.amazon.com/Sennheiser-MM-30i-MM30i-Headphones/dp/B004HD4L2E Now these are the dogs......

At £10.00 your choices will be pretty limited. I suggest using an app like JAYS Headset Control with a single button set instead of one with a more functional remote.
I settled on a pair of Brainwavz M4 with mic for under £20. There's also the ebay Skullcandy store that has mic'd sets starting at under £7. But I suspect my choices and prices are a little better here in the US.

Have to bump this thread, also need something fairly cheap that has decent remote. Not really audiophile, just need my headphones occasionally for in-car use, so no point in spending £50. So £20 is probably my max. Any suggestions appreciated.

These are "fake" (I believe) HTC headphones. The same ones that came with older HTC phones (the One S I have did not come with any headphones at all!)
Edit: Don't flame me, I suggested these because he wanted cheap ones, and these are identical to the ones HTC used to supply.

Haha nothing wrong if you're buying cheap goods. I wouldn't buy any of their more expensive stuff though.

Hi guys, I'd also like to ask for some advice on a decent headphone set with a remote that actually has more than 1 button and works on the One S. I live in Germany though, so it should preferably be something that's available here or at least deliverable and cheap to import. I'd like to set the price limit to 20€, but if you really mean nothing with a decent quality can be found for that little, I might consider going up to 30€. Thanks a lot!

I spent about a week to search all over forums, topics...but still could not find any pair of good quality headphones with 3 buttons( volume +/- and play/pause) + mic for under $20 dollars. But if you guy want a good pair of headphone with only 1 button ( can do "play/pause/next song") then this is might be the best

I use my choice of one button IEMs (currently Brainwavz M4) and JAYS headset control app. Play, pause, stop, next track, previous track, volume up, volume down, etcetera all accessible from the single button.

If one's in the looking for something not that expensive, but still with a reasonable level of quality - search no more:
http://www.expansys.com/htc-smart-3-5mm-wired-headset-with-flat-cable-white-rc-e190-222183/
The RC E190 will work just fine, they are of decent build quality and the sound it's OK.
I must confess that I'm not what you would call a connoisseur or good judge of the sound quality, but the headset it's at least at the level of Sonny Ericsson models, and they look good too.
The link that I've recommend is to a major re-seller of HTC accessories (not only).

The JVCs looked perfect until I noticed the "remote" doesn't have volume control. The reviewer said it, wtf is this for a remote? Seems I'll be going the JAYS App way, although that still sounds cumbersome in comparison to at least 3 hardware keys...

Best Wireless Headset - LG TONE HBS 700

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 !!
Here is Amazon link:

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..)

Sony SBH20 little review

Hey, since it has been released, i bought it and use it daily and now i have solid feedback to share you.

What is that
SBH20 is stereo Bluetooth headset that has one particularity: NFC compatibility. You can use it for listening music or making calls either.
Where can i purchase it?
Straight Sony Mobile official website or many different suppliers like Amazon (which i highly recommend with good price though)
Unboxing
Package is minimalist.
Out of box, you got a tiny micro-usb charger, around 10 cm, along with USB power adapter of 850 mAh (EP800), headphones also shorter than Z's original ones, and its 3 different earbuds cover made in silicone, typical user guide and warranty.
Design
Sony provides really good job in term of design, same for that SBH20, minimalist, simple square in several colors (black, white, orange, pink, green...).
Its incredibly tiny and light.
measurements:
Size: 33.3 x 33.3 x 12.3 mm
Weight: 12.3 grams
look it deeply, it has matte plastic texture which seems to be the right choice, glossy tends to be easily scratched.
Main buttons as play, next and previous are engraved and indeed very hard too see.
You got also power button with LED indicator, volume buttons and 3.5 mm audio jack port.
Connection
You can appair with your phone through NFC.
How is it work?
Put it just above Xperia logo from the back of phone and it will appaired.
Dont forget to enable NFC.
However, NFC or not, the launch bothers me because of slowsness (way slower than my Sony headset that is also NFC and BT wireless)
Range of surprising good, you can still listening musics up to 15 m or even more until at the sounds starts suffering
Once, i went down the building stairs while listening music, 2 floors lower, the sounds started suffering and i eventually realized i forgot my phone in my apartment
You can also automatize it through Smart Connect in order to make events
e.g When enabling SBH20, it will automatically launch Walkman and playing music
When disabling SBH20, it will automatically disable Bluetooth, stopping music...
I highly recommend to use it.
Since 4.3 update, i have some connection issue, ''Throw'' was launched every time when i connect it
Since 4.3 update, i noticed some dysfunction with BT devices independently of NFC.
Sound quality
For music, sound quality is surprisingly respectable. At least for a smartphone, it will never approach a sound quality from great audio headset such as Fidelio L1, M1.
Wireless always lowers audio quality, however Sony has great idea to give you a bunch of good earphones (original's one and SBH20's one)
It makes sound less poor than expected.
Dont expect too much, its just average and well enough for such nomad use.
When it comes about calls, its another story.
When i am making calls through it, noise cancellation is terrible: you cant hear properly but the worse thing is interlocutor often barely hear you when you are talking
i believe its depends where you are
outside, on the jungle of street, drop it.
Battery
Sony proudly announced 6 hours of battery life.
I use it daily and quite disagree.
My average battery life up to 4 hours, 5 hours at the maximum
Yes battery life is crap, it could be better.
PROS
- It has cute design
- Tiny (you can put it away in your pocket)
- Earphones (way better than any crap from other smartphones)
- Useful for Z (if you are too lazy for opening jack's trap every time)
CONS
- Average battery life
- Average sound quality overall
Final thoughts
Buy it if you dont bother about the audio quality, otherwise get headset such as Fidelio L1, not same price though. You can find SBH20 for less than 25 euros on Amazon (within the Apple's earphone price range)
Battery might be just for a day of use or a long travel.

in comparison to a wired headset ..how is the bass ? i know it wont be the same but still would like to know

Click to expand...

Definitely flat but its depends of what wired headset you ve compared to.
Mine is also come from Sony and both makes sound flat
Wired headset always loses bass unless you are willing to put money on quality stuffs
e.g Parrot Zik is good enough (for general public i would mean) for a wired headset but really sucks if you compare to others none wireless audio headsets on the market such as Fidelio M1
The good thing is earbud cover earphones that make sounds more powerful with more bass

i am using them for about 5 month. Like them a lot. I think that was my best buy ) Battery life of phone from usual wired headphones and sbh-20 nearly same.

I'm using those since December and i can say they are very good. just today i did listen to music for about 4h.

I am too using this since 4-5 months. The sound is not great to write about, it just does it's job. If you are a music lover, then definitely a no-no. You can get about 1.5 hrs of (music playback + calls) with standby of about 4-5 hrs before the battery dies. I wish Sony had given a better battery life of atleast 8-10 hours and a better earphones with a good bass along with this device.

SBH52 lasts longer wthin 8-10 hours but you are going to lose its lovely miniaturization although its still quite small
best advice i would give for people who have heavy daily use or keep listening while travelling, plug your Z earphones into SBH20, its way longer, when battery life drained out, use earphone instead

Hi monsieur_debile,
I'm interested in this earphones or maybe SBH50 for my phone , does it work in any phone or only on phones by sony?

yes its bluetooth device, it should run on most of devices including iPhone
NFC would be only optional if you have NFC
i suggest you to pick SBH50 if you want better battery life otherwise SBH20 sounds good

Thanks monsieur_debile, next time i have to buy new earphones i'll consider it.

thx

How about volume levels? Is it loud enough? I have an xperia zr with not enough volume levels so i want to buy this.

I've had this headset for about 4 months and coupled with @proj.SoNICo audio mod and with the gauzes taken out of the headphones and the little plastic gromit inside,the sound is superb!! On My XZ Rooted UB and running eXistenZ V6 Black Edition!! And @halfbloodmutant..The volume is Awesome!!

Have my (black) SBH20 for three days, it is really quite good, especially for that price.
There is one thing I haven't figured out yet - does the LED color change depending on the charging process? I think, that when it is lower on the battery, it seems to be kinda yellowish and later gets full green, but it may be just me watching it too much

Good price. Maybe I will take one!

i think yes,the colour of the led changes as you said with the charging process,same thing with my headset when the battery is low,yellow at first and then changes to green when fully charged!!

Hello mate!
Just a little question, i guess you've used the Sony-Headset MH-EX300AP, how does it compare Sound and Mic-wise?
Also how long do the batteries last?
This little bugger, seems to be just made for an Motorbike-Intercom System
Its seems to be pretty small so that it could theoretically even fit inside a helmet somewhere where you can reach it in the front, and due to the 3,5mm Jacket you could pair it with those :
Looking forward to your answers :good:

Works with another headset ?
Hi
I was wondering if i plug in my own headset with a built in mic and little remote, will it work ? Did anybody try that ?
I've been looking for 2 days now even called and emailed Sony assistance, nobody can answer...
Thanks

Share the current headphones you are using and a link to where you purchased them.

I'm currently using the XFL2V-U-MBLACK by V-MODA also known as the Crossfade LP2 Vocal Limited Edition (Over-Ear, Noise-Isolating, Metal Headphones).
They are pretty comfortable and come with 2 cables on with mic and the other with out, Great for listening with the Dac on the V30+

Sennheiser PXC550.
Mostly on BT connection but also on wired. Amazing sound with the QuadDAC when using cable.
Bought in Norway, so here's the link to Sennheiser official page:

1MoreTriple Driver - Main IEM with my LG V30
Grado SR 80
Klipsch 11i

Sennheiser HD485's, had for well over a decade and not far off replacing, but crazy comfortable.
Shure SE215's, decent sounding, comfortable, low profile so you can wear them while lying on your side, easy to listen to, and really good noise attenuation for noisy environments. Brought in New Zealand so link would be useless.
KZ AS-10 - Cheap Chinese balanced armature IEMS. I own about 8 different sets of KZs and these are the best so far, well balanced and incredibly detailed headphones, without the sibilance and harsh treble of KZs other models. Purchased from Aliexpress: https://bit.ly/2Qd2hHo
KZ ZS6 - Much deeper bass response than the AS-10s, but harsh treble for music like rock or metal, I use these for electronic music. Purchased from aliexpress, same as above.
The SE215s were my go to when out of the house, with the HD485s the rest of the time, but the AS10s have taken over for most uses now.

i am using sony ex150 ap bought from Amazon

I never thought I say this but... I'm rockin beats studio 3, but I don't use them wireless because I prefer wired the hifi system of the phone works awesome... Don't have a link because I bought them from 2nd hand for a really good price

KZ ZS10 4+1 hybrid it's a little tricky to drive on my S7, Volume is not quite high even when maxxed out, on V30 it's much better fuller bass and 60% volume is already loud.
KZ had overpowered treble sibilance since the zs5 series which can get tiring if I pair it with V30, but they fixed it in this edition. Bought mine from AliExpress but i guess you can buy it on amazon.

Rose gold V moda crossfade 2 wireless.
Had them imported as they weren't available in the UK at the time

Pioneer SE-CH9T, bought in a local music store. I bought it to replace a pair of Shure SE215s that just developed a broken cable for the second time (the original Shure replacement cable that I bought lasted about 2 years, while the cable that originally came with the headphones lasted for more than 4). They are about the same price as the SE215s (slightly less than 100€), but they sound so much better! They're louder, clearer and have more bass. I'm really loving them.
You should be able to get them just about everywhere (Amazon should have them all around the world).

Seahf AWK-F150C that were recommended on a head fi thread

Shipping was much quicker than I expected, a week or 2. They sound good to me, about 50 percent volume is loud enough for me.
I got the 150 ohm version because they are cheap and wasn't sure how well the V30 would drive high impedance, low efficiency phones. Next time I'll get the 320 ohm version for $75cad.

I bought them for their modibility. I was torn, I didn't want to buy a pair of "expensive" iems only to not like them. I figured I might be able to tune them to what I think at least sounds acceptable for the amount of money I paid. They do actually sound great. I haven't had buyers remorse at all. Plus, my nerdiness allows me to tinker with them, which I like.

I'm using Vinic Hearable http://en.vinci.im/1.5/
Amazon https://www.amazon.com/VINCI-Vinci-Hearable-Classic-White/dp/B072JZGB5W

I have the Audio Technica M50X ... it can handle any setting Viper4audio produced ... just amazing... with thundering bass you can feel the cups vibrate in and out of your ears . In Australia it is about $200 at JB Hifi or music specialist store.

Thanks for reporting.
150 ohm, that's high.
Why are you getting the 320 ohm version?
What do you expect to be better?
I would like to replace my Sennheiser cx-500i with ones that will activate the DAC

These headphones activate the quad dac and the phone easily drives them past what I can listen to.
I don't know exactly what happens with higher Ohm headphones, I think there is an improvement in bass. I won't get them soon, I have 2 sets of earbuds and a pair of Fidelio X2. I'm good for awhile.
Edit to add: here's an article on the difference between high and low impedance. https://www.cnet.com/news/headphone...d-to-know-about-low-vs-high-impedance-models/

Sennheiser HD1 (Pink Floyd edition) here.

Thanks for the link. I think its a case of the more I find out the less I know (cue for a song)
Interesting stuff though.
I didn't know that you could actually buy a pair of headphones for $55000 (sennheiser orpheus ) possibly OTT even for the V30+...
Let us know how (if?) the 320 ohm ones sound.
EDIT: According to this they might not work properly
