I have a Soundmagic PL-30 for music...I know it's nothing spectacular, but it's good for the money
I'm looking to upgrade though, might want to hear what other users are using
Beats by Dre (Tour w/ controltalk)
I use AKG K390NC
er, are you just looking for headphone suggestions? Same as any other PMP?
I use Sennheiser CX300, cheap enough on Amazon (** below) but amazingly better than my previous pair, but my next pair I'll go ahead and spend a little more I think. These are really the low end of the mid-range. They spend 98% of their time in my Creative Zen, but hey, I've used 'em on the N1 a time or two.
** Be very careful buying headphones anywhere, there are tons of fakes out there. If you buy 'em on Amazon for example, only buy them from Amazon, ie: Amazon LLC is the seller. At least that way you'll have a better chance of them being real and returning them if they are not. Do research into any set of headphones, but also research the fakes so you can identify if yours are fake when you receive them!
I'm using Ultimate Ears SuperFi but I really love Monter Beats Solo
I just bought some Sony's that have the track control and they're really comfortable and have better bass then the included ones.

Volume doesn't work... but gets the job done.
Stock headphones for working out or when I am on a call.
Etymotic Research ER-4 for when I care about audio quality a little bit, but not enough to use my real cans or my home system.
I am using the Motorola s305 very confortable, the keys all work and they sound pretty good.

I'm using Monster Turbines and JAYS q-JAYS. The Turbines sound a little better on the N1 most of the times cause the bass can be a little weak with the q-JAYS since there's no EQ to adjust it.
Klipsch
Klipsch Image S4 I use them exclusively, and they were well worth every penny!
I have the Ultimate Ears triplefi 10Vi. these sound awesome and have a mic too..
also the mute button on the wire allows skipping tracks

Thanks for the tip. I checked out some reviews of them and they don't look bad. After my Shure SCL4's starting having issues I've been looking for jogging headphones. Figured for $25 I can't go wrong.

Looking for a Bluetooth headset that is good for an active lifestyle (running, lifting)...
so far the only one that i have found that seem ok are the motorola S9..
just tired of having my current headphones constantly fall out when im running or lifting.
any advice would be greatly appreciated.. thanks
I like my RocketFish RF-MAB2... Work great and battery life is waaayyyy better than the S9's
Thanks .. ill have to check them out

Whatever you do don't get the Sony V110. Battery life is abysmal and often when I use it the person I'm talking to complains they can hear themselves (bluetooth mic is picking up what they say).
I personally have the Blue Ant X5 stereo headphones... They're too awesome. Fantastic battery life, superb sound quality, right ear controls for volume, pause, answer, and next/previous track, and a usb Mic dongle if you're also gonna use it for calls. Found on occasion on ebay for $30-$50 when you're lucky, package include the headset, dongle, 2 batteries, and a bluetooth stereo adapter for sound systems etc.
netimes.com has a lot and their very high quality and very cheap also so you could order about 3 so you can try them out and fing the one that you like the most but they are from china
oh btw.... while riding a motorcycle, fits perfect with the helmet too
Nice.. thanks for the responses. I'll probably pick one of these up in the next month or two off amazon with those valued opinions gift cards ( I'm cheap haha)

I have the same. I love them. Been using them for a year. I get two days of 9 hour listening before I have to charge.
Since someone brought it up... Parrot SK4000 is awesome if you are riding a motorcycle...
i highly recommend the Jawbone icone headset, its perfect and has great battery life and also work well with all phones even this one
I just pciked up a Morotola HK210, and it's been great for me so far.
The thing that drew me to it was its size (smallest at the store I was at), as well as the fact that its color matches the Inspire.
Syncing was painless, call quality is well, about what I'd expect from a bluetooth headset.
I haven't had it for very long though, so I can't say much more about it.
Jawbone + custom earpiece = awesome
I use the Jawbone Era (sounds great with the phone and absolutely no static). To hold it in place, I had a custom fit earpiece made at Avery Sound. They send a mold you place in the appropriate ear, you send it back to them and in a week or two you get a rubber earpiece custom fitted to your ear and your Bluetooth device.
Yes, it is pricey - it runs about $80 for the earpiece. But I need nothing else - this just stays put in my ear and it is hands-down the most comfortable headset I have ever owned. I have been to the gym a number of times with it, and no issues whatsoever. Plus, with the sound directed into your ear canal better than the stock earpiece, I hear much better with this.

Jawbone icon headset.. its real awesome i highly recommend it
jawbone. only way to fly.
I would be careful though as the inspire has iffey bluetooth performance. Many times putting the phone in your pocket can make the audio break up. Had it happen on 4 different inspires on more headsets than I care to think about. I can even make it break up if I hold the phone in front of me and cover the side cover where the volume rocker is. The point being, dont go out and spend a ton of cash only to be disappointed in the performance. I use my bluetooth every day with a jvc head unit in the car, but it was unusable with the headset as I always put my phone in my pocket
so im not the only one who things the bluetooth on this phone is oddly bad... I thought it was just my imagination
I recently got a Jawbone Icon Thinker and like it so far. It is shorter than the older models and fits securely in my ear. The battery life isn't the best but it works well for me.
I've got several bluetooth headsets (I keep losing them and buying a new one and then finding them again). Here are three I can find right now and one I have no idea where it is:
Samsung WEP 870 - This is a really good performer. It seems to have optimal range, sounds good, has A2DP and the volume rocker has both up and down. Micro SD charging slot so you don't have to use a special charger.
Samsung HM 1000. This is a decent performer, the range doesn't seem as good as it might be but it's reasonable. The volume rocker has both up and down. Micro SD charging slot. It does NOT have A2DP so it's my "backup" for just phone calls.
Jabra Extreme2. This is a great performer. It has optimal range, sounds great, has A2DP and a volume rocker with up and down. Micro SD charging slot. Right now this is my favorite.
Plantronics Savor M1100. I can't find this one right now<G>. A nice unit, has reasonable range, sounds good, has A2DP and a micro SD charging slot. However, the volume rocker only goes one direction so you have to go by increments to the maximum level then to the lowest level to change it. It does have a pretty good voice command recognition feature.
All of these have various "voice command" or other features that I never use. The Savor voice command feature was particularly easy to use though, it had to be to get me to use that feature.
As far as staying in your ear goes, I find that's more dependent on the form of the gel that goes into your ear. I like the ones with a loop above and below the ear, they fit in well and don't make the ear hurt so much if you wear it for a long time (if you get a good fit). One of these (I think the Jabra) had one that was kind of a "hook shape" on the top of the gel and that worked best of all.
I just got my MT4GS and I really need to rom it, but I just got a great Trident case now I need some head phones with a mic.
Is there any issue with any new roms making any of the buttons nonoperational?
Do y'all have recommendations of good headphones with a microphone?

I've been using my Skullcandy that I got for free from T&C. People can even hear me when I'm riding my bike going about 30mph. Anything over that and it gets too windy. Also works well at the shooting range (I use it as ear protection there).
Overall I'm happy with them since they were free, but I've heard a lot more good things about the beats and bose earphones. Ya know, the ones that are actually supposed to noise cancel and stuff lol.

I found these Mee M31P earphones and I've been very impressed with them. The build quality is top-notch, and after a burn-in (I connected them to my old MP3 player and let it play at a loud volume continuously for about 24 hours), the sound quality is just amazing. Even at low volumes, you can still get the full spectrum with all the bass and treble you want. The mic works very well for calls. I lucked out and got them on a Woot-Off for $16, but even the $25 price on Amazon is well worth it. http://www.amazon.com/MEElectronics-M31P-BK-Headphones-Microphone-Smartphones/dp/B004OBZ2UO
I actually got these ”Smokin Buds” skullcandy earphones today, but after looking at the reviews I think I'm just gonna get another pair.
Apparently they break really easily, and I'm not a big fan of that.
I'll be sure to let you know when they break, but so far the sound is awesome. Only problem is that the button seems to push itself at 60+ mph. Irritating.

Thanks! Are you riding a motorcycle 60mph?
I like the idea of noise canceling headphones. I rooted and rommed to XMC's Jellybean, I love it (!), maybe I can try some headphones out at Bestbuy or something!
Heh yeah. Really irritating when it changes songs every three seconds by itself. I also don't think it was made to noise cancel, they just fit in my ears really well.
Personally, I think they have excellent sound. Next time I buy earphones, however, I'm going to read reviews first. I swear, if these break...hahaha =D!
What's your price range, OP? I go through a lot of different brands so I can give some insight.
Actually I wanna hear your recommendation as well. What do you suggest under 50 and 100 dollars?

These are going to be about the earbuds only because headsets are big as hell, and I find earbuds more convenient and cleaner looking. More people would probably fit more with earbuds because most people love convenience.
Under 100, but over 50:
Klipsh Image S4i's are really good. Why? Sound is clear, noise-isolated earbuds, and there is a nice 3 button control set up (volume, call/end call, play music, skip music, etc.). Also, the really good thing about the S4's is the microphone. There is an echo-cancelling feature to it which is a definite plus, and the sound quality of the bass is very good. The colorway of these earbuds is very simplistic as the color is finished with black and chrome. Very clean. Only flaw is the way the buttons take you out of applications, but if you press the buttons, wouldn't that mean you needed to call someone?
Klipsh S4A is good too...I like the S4i's better because it's cheaper and it's pretty much the same thing quality wise. However, you can probably find the S4A's for cheap if you look around.
Lady Gaga Heartbeats are good too. Very unique design to it, and the wire on it (the flat one) is pure quality because it's tangle free pretty much. Seems like it would never break. Sound is VERY good. There's a nice case that comes with this too. I think Monster made this... Monster is very high end, so their credibility should say a lot about these earphones. The microphone is alright though. It's clear, but what makes this headset good is the sound it produces.
Shure headsets are definitely some to look into, even with the lower end products. The design is definitely why I would recommend these to anyone. However, Klipsh ****s on this Shure in the under 100's class.
Etymotic Research MC3's are really nice, but not worth the price... It's a balanced headset, but lacks so much compared to the higher ended Etymotic headsets. I just put these here because I've tried this out.
Beats Audio cheap version...overrated /story. lol I love the hype with the Beats. Good brand, but so far, the Klipsh makes the Beats look crappy, and the Klipsh is cheaper.
Under 50:
MEElectronics brand in general. Good stuff for what it is. Can't really say anything. It's under 50 so why not, right? It's good for what it is.
Ultimate...more expensive but overrated.
NuForce NE-7M is a good headset to use. It's simplistic in style. Sound is very close to those that are under 100. This is definitely one of those earpieces that is made for the laid-back chilled out person. I like these a lot.
Skullcandy Ink'd...it's alright too. Lots of flaws. Wire is always tangled, and it looks cheesy. Sound isn't the best either. But it is what it is, and that's why its price reflects upon the headset in itself.
Skullcandy Smoking Buds are nice in design. Sound is good for what it is. It's kind of too loud though and doesn't seem balanced (for example, the high-end frequencies are very noticeable and it's annoying to hear). It's cheap and that's what matters. Also, the wire is very durable. This is my go-to if I needed something right away and my main headset broke (they have this in almost every retail store). Flaw with the Smoking Buds is the button. Microphone is clear, but the button is annoying. Only one button, which means no control settings to really use. It either opens up your music app, shuts down your music app, or makes a speed dial call to the last person you talked to.
Best choice for under 100 in general is the Klipsh. It's compatible with the Android (I would know ), and it allows control (which is what I think most people would want). The sound is pure quality, and the microphone is very clear. It's also durable, nice looking, and simple.
Best choice for under 50, I would go with the NuForce NE-7M. It's about exactly 50 dollars, but the sound is good for what it is, and it would suit most people who are always on the go and aren't able to cough up an extra 20 dollars for some Klipsh earphones. The design is very minimal, but's a good thing because it's a straight-to-the-point type of earphones to use.
Hopefully, this helps.
Thanks! I'll be looking into the Klipsh headphones for my next purchase. You seem to be well versed with earbuds (which I prefer, actually) and it's always good to read opinions.
As someone who rides every day, earbuds have become a commodity. It's the only way to entertain myself on long rides lol.
Thanks Gheng, you've given an excellent place to start, I don't really have any base to start from, I've been using the earbud/mic sets included with a phone. They have always been lacking in some way.
I'm going to look on Amazon for reviews on each of these models you've talked about to develop a matrix. :cyclops:
+1 Klipsch Image S4. I have the normal set of earbuds, and they are amazing. They still sound great even after a year of daily use. But the cable is fairly thin, so take care of them and they will take care of you.

No worries. I usually base my opinions off of actual experience and reviews from highly respected sources. It feels good to usually have almost the exact same opinions as most of these credible sources.

Both work well on the MyTouch 4g Slide. I prefer the i's over the a's because of the experience I had with both. Plus, it was a bit better in price and sound.
I advise people to try out both if they can. Personal preference goes a long way.

I recommend Phonak Audeo earphones over the rest mentioned if you can find a deal on them. I know they have a version with the mic, but I don't know if they have music playback controls
I tried the Klipsh Image S4i's, they were great, but the extra buttons didn't work, just the one for pause/play/answer did. These worked really well, I liked the sound isolating function, I've never had these type of ear buds before, but really like them. I returned them due to the cost.
I'm going to get the MEElectronics M6P-BK Sports version with the sports ear wire. The reviews on Amazon seem to be mostly good.

I have some MEElectronics M31P-BK that are really good, the sound quality after burning in for 24 hours is amazing for that price. Has only 1 button but that works to play/pause or accept calls. The sound is actually a little richer, to my ears, than the UrBeats by Monster that I just bought.
Hello Friends,
I'm looking for an headphone bluetooth that permit me to run wireless so I have chose bluetooth.
I want the possibility to listen my mp3 and give, receive call in this headphone.
It's possible?
Some BT Headphone I see have only mono and I have to use some app for lisen music (ex. Bluetooth mono).
In addittion I also have connect to my phone Zephyr HxM Bluetooth Wireless Heart Rate Sensor.
Can I connect two devices on bluetooth and have the result I wont?
Thanks
:silly:
I'm not positive about the two things connected at once. I don't think it would be a problem, though.
As for headphones for running, I use the JLab Go Bluetooth headphones. They're not the greatest in the world, but they sound good, they're sweat-proof, and they're only $40.
I am using the JayBird BlueBird X. They are great for fitness, designed to stay in the ear while being active, sweat proof and decent audio quality. They do allow you to answer calls and change tracks. Tested on my SkyRocket with multiple ROMs and Apps.

Those Sonixx look nice, but I would be wary if they don't say that they're sweat-proof, but then I'm a very heavy sweater.
i have the jaybird freedom. i have not used them for the phone yet but used them quite a bit with my ipod nano in the gym. sound quality is good and can handle sweat and water well. i plan on using them soon on my S4 :good:

Bluetooth headset for gyms / running must most importantly be able to stay fitted in your ear canal / on your ear. All of these recommendations seem to work just fine.
I wouldn't worry about the prespiration damaging the headsets with regular use. Your sweat just won't reach the electronics in most cases and mine's been working for months.
Here's the cheapest stereo headset available (that I use purely for gym purposes)

Not sure how you guys can run with those over the ear headphones. My ears would get sweaty and gross. That's why earbuds are much better. I always question the people at the gym wearing over the ear beats and stuff. They look completely out of place. Those jaybirds look really nice though. I may have to pick up a pair.

I have a pair of Motorola S4s and they were awesome. The battery is beyond dead on them because I've had them for years and never charge them...(I don't use them anymore) but they're still great.

It's not cheap but the sound is good and it does work well if you want to workout. The downside is because you are running it will probably bounce (depending on you neck size) but works well if you are a bike rider or spinner.
for what it is worth. I have not had good luck with bluetooth headphones when running. Whether it is getting ruined by sweat or bouncing around too much...
I just go with cheap ones that are open in the ear so you can hear cars/dogs, and the music..
i got the jaybird freedom and i love them.
great quality BT calls everything.
love them
legen...wait-for-it..dairy http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/onbeatheadphones/solar-headphones
I use these, take the reviews on there with a grain of salt, I run with these almost every day at least 5 miles. They are great, I do get just a slight rubbing on the top of my ears but a small price to pay than dealing with stupid ear buds that always fall out when I start sweating. Also use them in the gym, range is great. I can stand on the other side of the gym from my phone with these and reception is still great, maybe 50 ft.
Battery life is good, I charge one per week and that is with about 1.5 hours of use each day.

im telling you the rocketfish rf-mab2
they are cheap, they are light, they go behind your neck so they dont interupt you when you do a flat bench. they dont move when you run
they have controls on them to change music, pause, fwd rwnd etc
they have a mic on them so you can answer calls and talk.. it pauses your music, answers, and then resumes your music
did i mention you can get them for like $25-30 bucks on ebay
they sync up to the phone via bluetooth fast and the battery lasts for a good amount of time
The Motorola flex 11 hd's aren't bad. I skate, run, and lift in mine and they stay secured very well with no comfort issues. Sound quality is on point with most wired sets. 8/10. They're also water resistant for sweat. Only downside is the back part is prone to breaking if your not careful. I broke mine but Motorola replaced them. If you do get them I would also reccomend some different ear buds then the stock ones.

Mpow FreeGo
Over the course of the years I’ve tried many, many Bluetooth headsets and VERY few lasted more than a few days of use. A lot had poor performance, extremely uncomfortable or both.
I travel a lot and sometimes it’s just cumbersome having to hold the phone when talking and trying to multitask. So I gave the FreeGO a try and I’m glad I did.
Performance/Build Quality
When first looking at the unit; I was worried it was going to be too heavy with the size but I was pleasantly surprised when picking it up. It’s a lot lighter than I expected. Even though it was light weight it didn’t feel cheap in the slightly. Nothing flexed, or creaked to the point where I was worried about it falling apart.
The unit itself has a two toned looked to it. A shiny glossy part and matte soft rubber part. The soft rubber part is what actually is in contact with your ear. This makes it extremely comfortable to wear. So comfortable that I’d forget I had it on to be honest. The silicone ear tip that creates a “seal” for sound doesn’t really create a seal as the tip is oddly “flat” shaped. It’s not like the tips on earphones/earbuds where you would jam them in your ear canal. It simply hovers over the opening. This worried me at first that calls or sounds would be difficult to hear. Once again it surprised me. Calls still came in crystal clear, music sounded good and never missed a notification sound. I think the odd shape and not shoving them in the ear canal is what makes the headset so comfortable.
Can be used on either ear. The earpiece has a 180 Degree Flip-boom arm for both left or right ear. Which is really convenient depending which ear you want to use it on.
The unit has 3 buttons: Volume up, volume down and answer call. All were easy to access when worn and always responsive. Pairing it to my phone or tablet was a cinch and took no longer than 2 minutes for initial pairing and subsequent pairings took seconds.
Sound quality was just amazing. Never did I feel like it wasn’t clear. The mic also performed superbly. The person on the line never had a problem hearing me or asked me to speak louder. What else can you ask for?
Last; it stayed in place. I’m sure everyone had that headset that was just impossible to keep in place and you ended adjusting it all the time. Not this one; I had it on the ENTIRE day and not once did I have to adjust it.
Packaging
It comes in a simple box. Has 3 different ear tips, a small faux leather pouch and a micro usb cable (flat cable which is a nice touch). The micro usb cable is of decent quality which is a plus in my book. It did not come with a wall plug though. So either use your phones or plug it into your computer to charge it.
Conclusion
It’s a no brainer for me if you’re looking for a great value Bluetooth headset. Good performance, good price and comfortable. I’d recommend it to anyone.
Nice review, but what do you use this for?
I have a pair of wireless Jaybird bluebuds I wear for running/working out, and flip them over for conference calls.

I got the jaybird freedom, it wasn't cheap, but it was worth the price. The fit is good, sound is good too, battery lasts long, and sweatproof. Perfect for workout.
Only letdown that it is not good for phonecalls, they said my voice was very quiet when I used the jaybird freedom for phonecalls.
Im looking to buy a bluetooth headset for phonecalls, hope Mpow FreeGo will be good. Though i have the experience, when I am in a noisy enviroment, if I use a one-ear headset, I can't hear the other person on the phone. Not because the headset is not good, but because my other ear is exosed to the noisy enviroment. I guess that wouldn't be a problem for a 2-ear headset.
Good review, but i don't think it is worth buying, because the design and the specifications, the tronfy iwork mini 4.0 is better than this one, only $16.99, but longer battery life and more different earbuds.

I own the Mpow also. Funny I thought I had lost my Mpow and pulled out 3 of older brands I've tried but didnt like. After a week with the older one, I quickly ordered 2 new Mpow's then found the missing Mpow in the trunk of my car LOL. I'm a big fan of the Mpow FreeGo
