Looking to get a new bluetooth headset. Got the Jawbone ICON and volume is really low, so I'm looking for another one... Any ideas? Thanks
http://reviews.cnet.com/headsets/plantronics-voyager-pro/4505-13831_7-33628984.html?tag=mncol;lst
Seems to get the best overall reviews of any headset... Though it isn't "stylish" -.-... I prefer function over form though. Google searches + review sites generally give good overall reviews of different devices. I research EVERYTHING before I buy... If I was buying a headset, this is what I'd own.
For now though, the only time I use my phone with bluetooth is while in the car... And for that, I use the Kenwood KDC-x993 . (Now THAT, is a wonderful device )
I have a few, Blue Ant Z9, Z9i, and a Jawbone (using the jawbone now). While the Jawbone is the most aesthetically pleasing, I find it pretty damn uncomfortable. :-\ Haven't really had a problem volume wise though, and it's range is quite a bit better than the Z9's.
I have the Sennheiser mm200. They sound just as good as the cx300's in terms of sound quality. Call quality is good also.

Do you have any problem with your Z9 and your rooted N1? My N1 cannot see the Z9. Maybe I need to update the Z9 firmware?
I've been using my Moto S9 and although the quality is good I'm looking to buy a regular headset for just calls. I've seen some talk about Jawbone's Icon. For those of you that do have it how good is it?

I've read several positive reviews of the Jawbone Icon, but that's about it.
I have the Jawbone Ace. I also use myTalk as well. The only negative is that the N1 does not support voice dialing from the BT headset. I mean come on, voice commander for WinMo can do it...wtf? hehe
But I have used the Icon a few times and being a longtime Jawbone fan, I can say its worth the price. The noise assassin is actually better IMO than the prior Jawbone I have and I thought that kicked a$$. I use my plantronics 590 to stream music and answer calls too if needed.
And the other negative is the lack of volume control on the headset itself. The only way to adjust it is on the phone, which is odd, but he technology methods change every day.
OT: Any comments on my custom signature logo? LOL

I'm a bit disappointed in the face that it doesn't have a volume rocker ... Does it display the battery meter on the N1 or is that just for the iPhone?
The batt icon is only for iPhone
i have the Plantronics Discovery 975 and i LOVE it. its loud, comfortable, great charge, and it has an awesome case wich has a battery in it for on the go charging which is awesome for me.

Great. Now I want one.
I have two my main one is a plantronics voyager pro which i absolutly love, and when it dies i have some jabra one.
I have motorola h17 and works great with n1 and the good is that h17 is not always on with the phone only when you need it ....
I have had zero issues with my Icon. I've used it in the car and turned the volume up pretty loud on the radio while talking and didn't have any issues, and neither did the person I was talking to...
The Icon is much much better than all prior Jawbones...
I'm not sure why you're having an issue with the volume? Maybe try different ear pieces to make it fit better so the sound will enter your ear better?

I've had my ht820 for about 3 years. Still working great with every phone I've had, from win-mo to android. Calls come in clear, and you can be heard pretty well, even outside, although the wind does bother at times, but that should be true of most headsets.
After an hour or so the back of your ear starts to bother. Other than that they work pretty well. I usually use it for excercise or around the house (when its not connected to the laptop or ps3)
I have the Motorola S9 and Jabra BT620s... and both work brilliantly with the N1... no connection issues... full A2DP audio streaming... clear in-call voice... Though I like the S9 better since it's easier to carry and is sweat-proof!
I'm finding the headphones included with the Samsung Galaxy S to be pretty useless. They do not stay in my ears and was wondering if anyone else had this problem? Could just be me with dodgy shaped ears but I've never had a problem with any other in-ear headphones. The build quality, sound quality and other aspects of the headphone seem great (although the in line controls seem very limited) so it's a shame that they don't stay in my ears.
If anyone knows of a good 3rd party alternative (possibly even a Bluetooth stereo set) then do reply back with details.
TIA
The earphones seem fine to me, the rubber bits are a little bigger than what im used to with inear earphones (normally i go with the small ones). However i find them to be fine for me, and the sound quality is great.
I am using another headphone instead of supplied one. Anyway original one can answer calls but can't control volume / music player etc. so a little disappointed and now looking for Stereo Bluetooth headset.
Buy a pack of Sennheiser in-ear replacement rubber thingo's. They go for around $5. Fits perfectly. Apart from that, the originals sound like crap but are good as freebies.

It's not just you. They pop out of my ears as well - very irritating indeed. I don't use the headphones often, but when I do I just use my iPhone or PSP ones (for listening to music, not calls etc).
/PS: Not sure if these work as an antenna for the FM radio thingy though...
Have you ever tried apple headphones worst I've ever tried doesn't fit well and you can hear everything around you for a device that you paid more than any other ..... Those are useless not the SGS ones that are good in-ear and they stay in my ears but yes I regret a bit that they don't have a previous-next song like the apple one (only good thing about those)

I think it's your ears m8. Mine fit great.
I would've liked to have a clip to clip to my clothes so they dont fall off but..
Yea sound quality is very good aswell!
For those looking for BT stereo headphones, I've been using the Plantronics/Altec Lansing Backbeat 903's for almost a year now, and I love 'em. I honestly haven't tried them with the SGS, but they've worked beautifully with every phone, pc, and ps3 I've paired them with.
I've found something like that: I can't post outside links
well it's AIAIAI TRACKS HEADSET those are hedphones with mic.
I bought Thomson ultra comfort HED17 ear pads and now stoc earbuds don't fall off.

Only thing about the 903, dont use them for workouts if your sweating... I did, and they broke down in 2 days ....
Personaly I'm looking for 1 ear solutions that also can receive media output from SGS.
Maybe u'd like Jabra Stone.
Personally I am using a Samsung 3.5mm adapter, that has a multifunctional button (play/pause/take or end call) into which i plug my bang&olufsen earphones.. it's working great and the good part is that you can use whatever earphones you like
edit:
oh also i think the original sgs headphones suck donkeyballs... the sound quality is bad, it's inear (which is pretty unhygenic/unhealthy), cable is about 20cm too short for someone like me, the rubber things are not very firmly attached and i almost lost them like 10 times in 2 weeks..
thats why i threw away those things and got myself some nice headphones+that extension cord/remote control/whatever thingy
how do you find SQ compared to an iPhone?
My SGS is practical unlistenable with good stereo headphones due to strong hiss in the background, especially when you pause a track, its less noticable on stock headphones,
I thought it was a general issue, but probably its only me phone/firmware..
Just bought Motorola HT-820 Stereo Bluetooth headset for 28$. Sound quality is average but full control over music player. Play/pause, next, fw, vol +- and telephone conversations. Great for outside during cold days.
fAtaXe, i'm looking for that kind of adaptar, which one is yours?
think the stock samsung headphones are very disappointing in terms of fit in the ear. It seems they have only catered for an 'average' ear size.
I would have prefered ipod style headphones with a mic...i wear the samsungs and they just fall out embarrassingly when using them for hands free conversations.
I am currently using my old nokia 5800 headphones and mic although the mic isn't as sensitive enough so callers cant hear me as loud as they would like to.
Would generic ones work with this phone?
I'm just trying the phone with my Sennheiser HD 650,
to my surprise they rock, though are 300ohm headphones,
Galaxy s deserve some respect in HP amplifie area..

Hi, I was wondering if any of you guys use a bluetooth stereo headset for your G2's because I've been looking for a certain kind. I'm looking for one that is wireless(duh) and it connected by the buds with a wire that's small and similar to the one that came with our phones. So pretty much our stock headphones, just without the cord connecting to the phone. I saw one the other day on a website but I can't find it at all.
Thanks for your time

I have had great success with Altec Lansing Backbeat 903 and they can be had fairly cheaply. While mine are 1+ years old, Plantronics offers an updated BackBeat 903+. Altec Lansing is owned by Plantronics or vice versa.

I second that recommendation. Those are great headphones especially for working out. If you don't really need bluetooth I've gone to the zagg smartbuds after getting tired of charging my backbeats and my phone from constant Bluetooth use. These just stay around my neck all day and offer everything the backbeats do, just not wireless and better sound quality.
I'm waiting on Bluetooth 3.0 to really make Bluetooth headphones really take off, with better performance overall (sound quality, outdoor performance, and 3.0 is a higher number than 2.1 duh). Have trouble at times outdoors (nothing to bounce off of). So my recommendation is the backbeats or the Cardozo s2's I believe if you aren't married to that form factor.

dont get the zagg smartbuds.... they are a ripoff. just like the rest of their products.
the best buds under $100 are the klipsch image s4's

Got em off of amazon for less that $35 and they are very nice...

I actually use a Sony Bluetooth unit that has a standard 1/8" jack and plug my Shure's into that. The little controllers are hard to find now as everyone seems to want to bundle their earphones in with them.

I just found this and it looks really nice, not so sure about the clip though, but I can adapt. It meets the requirements I was looking for. The bluetooth is actually in the small device and the headphones are interchangeable with any one with a 3.5mm jack. I hope that it would come with its own set of headphones because they look really short and that's what I'm looking for. I don't want the hassle of having to untangle headphones after every usage, so I think this might be what I'm looking for. Has anybody else tried this before? I also wonder if it's completely compatible with Android.

These are the MW600 that Wolek76 is talking about in his post above. They are known to work with the Desire Z though some functionality like trackId is not working. I should be getting these for my Desire Z today/tomorrow.
I have been to frys electronics and best buy, and have bought every single one they offer at least once.
Ive tryed at least 20+ and every single one cuts off very often if I am jogging and the phone is in my side pocket.
If anyone has any suggestions be my guest and lmk please haha. Maybe something that makes you hold your phone higher or closer to your ears so the bluetooth connection doesnt break so often.

Yes these are the MW600 which wolek76 recommends, and so do I. Been using them with my Nexus One and now Galaxy S, and love them. The ear buds are very comfortable and have great sound quality, and if you still dont like em you can use any 3.5mm headphones with the unit. You can save 3 devices to use the Bluetooth with (either phone OR your BT-enabled laptop), and switch between them with press of a button. Good battery life and and the controls work with alternative Android music applications like Poweramp as well as Google Listen.
The unit did get stuck on me 3-4 times during my 6-7 months of use, by stuck I mean nothing works and you have to wait till the battery drains and it shuts itself off lol. Its ridiculous that this thing doesnt have a Reset button.
Highly recommend this headset, and cant wait to start using it with my G2 when it arrives next week.

hello everyone
just thought I'd put a link to another thread (used to be Desire Z only, before the merge), but thats where I've left the most information about this bluetooth stuff

if you need more just ask
I will answer every question - provided I now the answer/I have time

Another happy MW600 user
Hi all,
Just wanted to second wolek76's recommendation for the MW600. I've been using them with my Desire Z.
The performance of the bluetooth headset is excellent - especially you you replace the supplied earphones with your own favourites (Denon AH-751s for me )
Only downsides:
No contact name on display (though the callers phone number is displayed)
No track name on display
Other than that they are excellent.
Cheers
Ash

Have you guys used the headphones that came with the bluetooth set? Is the quality of it good, or does it not come with short corded headphones?
Merry xmass everyone
Yes, these come with in-ear buds with three different rubber sizes. Headphones themselves are on a short lead and asymmetric (so that the cable for one ear is shorter, and the other one goes behind the neck)
As someone mentioned earlier, these are removable, so you can use any earfones u wish.
Quality of sound is fine for me, although I'm no expert on that matter....

How would you say the headphones that come with the mw600 compare to the one that comes with the desire z? Better?
Definately better!!!
Original htc ones dont stay in my ears whatsoever. Maybe I got weird ears but never managed to to get any htc earphones make stay in my ears (s740, touchpro2, DZ).
the SE ones actually go 'into' your ear blocking any external noise. Im very happy with that solution, but I know it isnt to everybodys taste/preference.
btw. I got MW600 for my sister...
she's got SE X10 and wanted a FM radio....
will check if these work any better with Android on SE fone (track ID, caller ID)
merry x-mass
Well, even though mw600 and X10 are made by same manufacturer, there is still no caller ID, and no track ID.
This must be definitely android issue then.
Just hope that ginger update with its new 'BlueZ' will help, when it finally lands in our Desires...
Fingers crossed

My plantronics headset constantly drops out since the GB update.
I know most here root but can anyone point me to a headset that works properly
with this phone and the stock rom.. Have asked the question elsewhere but cant get an answer.. VZW says known problem w/ fix coming but reps never seem to have accurate info. Thanks
should I take the lack of response to indicate no one has a bt earpiece they are happy with ?
I'm quite happy with my Jawbone Era. Never had any issues with it. It's crystal clear and nice and loud, and I've never had it drop connection unless I went out of range.
BlueAnt headsets have always been the best for me. Tried Jawbones and they sounded tinny and weird. Never have a problem syncing with my Charge.

im VERY happy with my Motorola S305. Got it from a Vzw.com firesale for $25 like they do every year around christmas. it's a Stereo wrap-around style which lets you listen to music or talk while you jog/walk the dog/work in the yard etc. Good size, battery life is killer even after 2 years, good controls, good sound, pairs reliabily with SCH-510 and others..

I have to agree.
appreciate the feedback
I liked my Jawbone Era until one of our dogs decided it was a chew toy.
My Plantronics was nice, but it fell apart pretty fast.
Now I have the Motorola HX550 and it has been fantastic. Very comfortable, easy to turn on and off, and the sound quality is great.

I've had excellent luck with the BestBuy Rocketfish RF-MAB2 stereo headset. Solid phone calls, and pretty darn good music playback. I've used it with the Charge on every ROM I've tried, including stock.

+1 for the Jawbone Era. Thing is absolutely brilliant, plus its got multi-point or whatever so it links to multiple things.
i need a good pair of bluetooth headphones (music and voice) for ny n4. I tried out over the ears and didnt like the pressure on my head. i tried the lg tones 7 and 8 series and either the bluetooth didnt work well or the audio quality wasnt great. i want to try the infinium, the new lg tones but cant justify to pay that much for similar types of headsets on thr market.

I ordered the JayBird BlueBuds X Sport from Amazon along with a case for the phone. People seem to like the BlueBuds X.

Any BT that uses apt x codec will sound great for being bt headphones. The jaybird x are nice as they support apt x. As well as many of the LG tone headphones. I know the Tone 730 I used sounds great for music. I wonder if your old phone did not have apt x support. Not all of them do. What price range are you looking at?

i have the z10 currently therefore i am estatic to get my n4
my budget is up to 100 but the more cost effective, the better so i can spend more on other accessories!
I have own the jaybirds x for a while now. Couldn't be happier with them. Sure they are a bit expensive but in my opinion worth every penny. My backup pair is the Motorola s10. The range is awesome on them. I could run a 1/8 mile track and never lose signal with my device.
I love my jaybirds bluebuds x they have amazing sound
The jay birds are the best, i found the next best at a fair price to be the Plantronics backbeat 2 to be the next best thing. Great sound good range and small footprint. People have claimed poor battery life. I avagerage about 5 to 6 hours of constant use. They claim 4 to 6 from the company i believe. Can be purchased around 50 dollars.

I've tried two models of the LG Tone with my Note 2. At times they sounded horrible, and also frequently cut the microphone out; the people on the call thought I hung up but I could still hear them but they couldn't hear me. That seemed to be a software issue on the Note 2. And it also got to where the headphones were staticy or went out even though they were only 2 feet from the phone. A reboot 90% of the time fixed those problems for a while.
So far I haven't experienced that with the Note 4 thankfully.
I have a pair of these under the anker brand. Not bad for only 30 bucks that I paid for them.
http://www.amazon.com/VicTsing-Blue...qid=1413976840&sr=8-1&keywords=atpx+bluetooth
But i know the jbird x sound much better then these. Do you have to have bt headphones? Maybe get a cheaper set for working out and a better set like these?
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00HUNUOJW/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o08_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I have these and they are great for the price.
I think my next headphones may be something like the samsung Level on set. Just waiting for a better price on them.
For those with the Jaybirds, how is the battery life?
AS long as they don't cut out/mute when wifi is on.. Had that issue with my Note 3 and LG HBS-750
I got the jaybirds. Love them. I've never ran them completely out of battery before charging, so I don't know the exact battery life. Have gotten over 5 hours many times though.

I want something unintrusive, to take advantage from android wear to actually control the device: so earphones, sound quality and almost no cable... right now the only thing I found are the Jaybirds.
JasonJoel, may I ask how fares the mic and noise cancellation system? The only complaint I've ever heard is about poor voice in-call!
I think the noise cancelation is pretty good. The mic quality is ok, but not great.

I just purchased the Plantronics Backbeats 2 about 3 days ago. Had never seen them but I went into Vzn to look for Note 4 accessories and saw the last pair hanging. I thought to myself, WOW only one pair....that's a good sign, right? lol. Anyway, I have to say I am satisfied with the sound quality. I love the pouch & fact that it is a on the go charger as well. I had plantronics before as a bluetooth earpiece about 10yrs ago and that was a good device way back then. I have issues with finding the proper sized buds to use. Oddly enough the large ones work best as fully plugging my ear for best sound quality. I am still gonna try Sammy' s Circle Gear though.
I have these http://www.amazon.com/MEElectronics...qid=1414287587&sr=8-1&keywords=airfi+matrix+2 MEElectronics Air-Fi Matrix2 AF62 Stereo Bluetooth Wireless + Wired Headphones with aptX, AAC, and NFC . They sound great with BT 4.0 and aptx codec and there isn't much clamping force

Thanks! I have the Platronics Backbeat Go 2, but the ear tips are terrible. There isn't any Comply Foam I can order either. No budget earbuds seem to have better fit and audio quality than the good old Klipsch S4a. I'll definitely pick these up to use with my Klipschs.
