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.

Thanks for the replay
do you think this are good?

I've heard nothing but good things about Jaybirds, but they're pricey.
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:

Take the Sonixx. I also am a very heavy sweater so I think here are good. I see the jaybird but I think are too expensive. I am a Dj and don't want spend much money also for headphone because I just have my fantastic Sony mdr 700 dj

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)
http://www.amazon.co.uk/7dayshop-Se...TF8&qid=1372373924&sr=8-10&keywords=bluetooth
Cheap, functional, no issues with playing music for the entire gym session Not amazing sound quality but it definitely value for money at that price.Serves most people well however it doesn't look as nice as the earbud designs from Jabra (but Jabras are twice the price).

Good phones but I think are too big for run. I try the headphone I buy and if I think not good I buy Jabra.

Go with Rocketfish RF-MAB2
Buy them on Ebay for $25 dollars.
I have used mine for 4 years.
They do everything you asked for in your original post.
You can have both connected at the same time I connect pebble watch and the car bluetooth with no issues.

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.
Might I suggest the LG HBS-730?
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009A5204K/ref=ox_sc_sfl_title_2?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER
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

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.

I'm planning to buy a bluetooth headset and a bluetooth usb adapter, but so far I havent found much.
The BT headset will be mostly used for music and some talking, so i will need to have something in both ears and not just 1 like most bt headset.
And I also need a bluetooth usb adapter that i will use together with active sync and do file exploring, and syncing contacts etc. , normal stuff.
I appreciate every help I can get, links, answers, and also if you have used any of the BT headsets, and can write a mini review about it if you think its good, that would also be great!

Anyone that can help?
I don't have the Diamond (yet), but I am very happy with my Plantronics Voyager 855 Stereo BT buds. There is a primary earbud with a loop for use for standard BT handsfree, and a lighter bud with a thin wire for the stereo. I don't use mine too often as stereo, but when I do, the sound is quite good from my HTC Apache (although the ROM I'm using has an issue that requires deleting the profile and recreating periodically to avoid playback problems). As a handsfree, it picks up well and because the buds seal in your ear, it blocks out background noise well. I'm even able to use in stereo mode while mowing without adjusting the volume above a non-mowing comfortable level (again, because the seal blocks out most noise), so I don't destroy my hearing.
My only issue is that when I get sweaty, the buds don't hold their seal really well, so I'd have to occasionally push them back in for a tight seal. I also tried to do without the ear loop when only using the primary side for hands-free, but that lead to my trying to catch it when it fell out while holding my phone in that hand (which lead to a scratch on my phone and an ejected memory card -- oops). If you use the loop and play around with the different sized buds for proper fit, you should be quite happy. Also, if you look for deals, I was able to get mine for around $60.
Hope that helps. I've not used any USB BT adapters, so can't help there.
Thanks for a nice reply with much information, and I've seen a bit on that one before to, looks pretty nice, I've heard it wasn't that good for music playing, but how do you think the sound is? is it very high on max volum or not that high? and how is the quality, maybe compared to the earphones that are you got with the phone or some others if you got.
And when you talk in it, the sound is good on both sides? i mean, do you hear the other one good and does he/her hear you good?
Also, where did you buy it for 60$ looks like a nice price for those, only found them for over 100$ without looking to much yet.

The volume is good. As I mentioned, I mow the lawn with them, and I can hear my podcasts very well even over the sound of the mower. The music I've listened to has sounded good, but I didn't really do an objective comparison with other earphones/buds. I think the quality is about is good as you get from most 128 kbps MP3s. If the earbuds are properly seated in your ears, the base is quite good, but if they are not, they will sound a bit tinny.

I think the call quality is good. It picks me up very well even without extending the mic/slide, and nobody has complained.

I found it on n1wireless (http://www.n1wireless.com/search.cg...+voyager+855&gclid=COedzLn65ZQCFRKhxgodnCirSg), which has it for $69 new or $49 opened box. I bought an open box (which cost me a bit more IIRC).
Because the buds seal your ear canal for proper fit, one issue you might have is the reduction of background noise when not in use. It did take me a bit to get used to basically being partially deaf in one ear when one side was in. When I'm not trying to block out the sound, but am wearing the headset in expectation of a call, I sometimes intentionally break the seal so I can hear outside sounds better. My old headset was the more traditional outside the canal type, and that wasn't an issue, but then again, I couldn't hear anything in noise environs (and certainly not while mowing), so you've got to make that call.
I would REALLY recommend the Motorola S9 and if you can wait, the HD ones are coming out supposedly in September.
Thanks for both replies and i think im going for the plantronic one unless i find something else that is better.
About the motorola s9, i dont really want the looks like that one, I like it better when its a bit smaller and I'm able to have it in my pocket.
I've been looking for plantronics voyager 855 now, but most sites i've been on either dont ship to Norway or it costs like 40-60dollar for shipping.
Does anyone know a place with a low price prefer under 80dollar, with also free or cheap shipping, under 10 dollar atleast. I'm not gonna pay 60 dollar for the headset + 60 dollar for shipping
Cheapest place in Norway is 720kr which is about 150(+/-) dollar
Another option
I got the HBH-DS970 on ebay for £19 about 38 dollars with free postage to UK - they are absolutely amazing in terms of sound quality they look great and also have caller ID and music controls.
Does the music controller work in S2P?

I am also quite interested in hearing recommendations for a good (Consumer-grade good heh) set of BT stereo headphones, and to jdcnosse The only set that i've found recently that looked interesting was the s-11 HD, Motorola though it's not over the ears and I hate the form factor, but it seems they finally decided to innovate on Bluetooth audio quality..

Well I did a quick look at Best Buy just to see what exactly is out there (never would pay their prices though haha) and yeah I noticed there was one Motorola pair. There was also another pair that looked fairly decent...
Found this: http://androidforums.com/android-accessories/39386-best-bluetooth-headphones-earbuds.html
Even though it's a tad old lol
I am going to connect it to my Parrot Minikit Neo bt speakerphone in my truck, then maybe try the Sony Ericsson MW600 and also the HTC Stereoclip, Also connect it to my N7 to see what it can do tether-wise. Oh forgot to see how it works with the torque app to read my odbII bt dongle and also my work phone which should connect via bt on my jabra pro headset.
Best Bluetooth headphones in my opinion are the Motorola s11 flex HD I just purchased. They sound great even with the garbage sound problems introduced in 4.2 and fit very well. They are sweat proof, have about 6 hours of playback, 150 for range and fast charging technology. 20 mins to a full charge and 5 mins for an hour. They pair very easily to my n10 and n4 as well. They aren't cheap though... run about $130. Well worth it as my last Motorola set lasted me 4 years, hundreds of hours running and washing the car, and a half marathon.

I have bluetooth headphones and will never be able to go back to corded. It's so awesome to be in my chair at work and be able to turn from one computer to another without the cord getting tangled etc
I've had several pairs:
My first pair: http://www.amazon.com/Motorola-S305-Bluetooth-Headset-Microphone/dp/B002BH3I9U/
They were cheap and I wanted to see if I could get by with bluetooth. They have a built in batter and use the same micro usb to charge so that was really convenient. Relatively comfortable and decent sound quality for the price. Battery life is so-so, and you cannot charge and listen to them at the same time
My current pair: http://www.amazon.com/Creative-WP-300-Wireless-Bluetooth-Headphones/dp/B004D4R9VC
Really good sound quality, especially the bass. Great battery life (I plug them in every couple days when I leave work). My only gripe is that they are On-Ear rather than circumaural. They can get a little uncomfortable to wear for extended periods of time (2+ hours) The other issue is that unlike the two I discuss below, there is no 3.55 jack for you to plug in in case the battery dies. I've never had an issue with this, but it's something to keep in mind. They also support Apt-X, which I don't think the N4 does
I am looking to upgrade, and the two I'm looking at are:
http://www.amazon.com/Sennheiser-MM-500-X-Bluetooth-Headphones/dp/B0076NDV0U
and
http://www.amazon.com/Parrot-Zik-Touch-Activated-Bluetooth-Headphones/dp/B0081TH24O
The Parrot has NFC which should make pairing them a breeze. Their sound quality is supposed to be excellent, and they are supposed to be overall awesome headphones. The main complaint I've seen in my research is that battery life is not quite up to par.
The Sennheiser are supposed to have superb sound quality as well, and generally have at least as good of features as the Parrot, though the sound quality supposedly takes a hit with Active Noise Canceling enabled. I don't really use noise canceling so I'm not sure how much I care (there is also the Sennheiser 500-X which don't offer it at all and are cheaper)
Engadget has a pretty solid review of the Parrot, and that's what I'm leaning towards right now, since I leave them at work I can just charge them every night so I don't think the battery life will be an issue for me.
Hopefully this helps!

Speaking of jambox...If you ever get interested in a bluetooth speaker...I have a jabra solemate and it's pretty awesome! It's a little larger than the jambox though but the volume and bass output is high enough for enjoyable outdoor use. Battery life has been extremely good. I got mine for $150.
I have the back beat 903+ from plantronics. Great warranty too. When they send you a replacement it starts a new 1 year warranty instead of continuing on the original. Have some issues staying connected if jogging from pocket but not in an armband or if you are just walking.

Oh btw, if you're going to be using bluetooth with wifi, you might wanna see if your wifi runs on 5ghz. I'm having a little trouble with my 2.4ghz wifi occasionally cutting out when bluetooth is engaged due to both transmitting on the same frequency.
Unfortunately, I can't switch to 5ghz because that frequency is dedicated to streaming wireless HD video and interactive guide to my TVs.

Personally, I'm gonna buy those.
Because i hate cables and big plastic things on my head or over my head i found these and i think im gonna buy it.

There seems to be mixed reviews on Amazon.
http://www.amazon.com/Plantronics-B...-1&keywords=Plantronics+BackBeat+GO+Bluetooth
I recommend this instead:
http://www.amazon.com/LG-Electronic...TF8&qid=1369613684&sr=1-1&keywords=lg+hbs+730
I've been using these for years and it's been great.
I recommend you the plantronics backbeat 903+, better sound, better battery life, better look ( IMO ). Those backbeat go are lighter and small indeed but they seem to fall off pretty easily from your ears and they lack good sound and proper volume.
BT IEMs seem like a terrible idea, either you are going to have a bullky dongle(s) or short battery life and either way the audio quality is going to be average at best (fault of bluetooth especially since the n4 doesn't support aptx.) I guess cords just don't bother me that much.
I have these. Their amazing. Great battery life, awesome reception/volume/sound quality.

I've gone through a number of Bluetooth headphones. Cordless is definitely the way to go.
http://www.amazon.com/Jaybird-Freedom-Bluetooth-Earbuds-Fit-Bluetooth/dp/B005B28DOM
I currently use these for working out. They're great; good sound quality, very lightweight, and they come with a company lifetime guarantee against sweat. I can get about 8 hours of "music" time with them, which is expected given their size. You can't fit that big of a battery in there. I particularly love these for working out because they never fall out of my ears when I move a lot, like when running. They have these little option "anchors" that go inside your ears that work really well. Phone and music controls are on the right ear piece, and are minimal. Center button to answer/hang up a call or play/pause music. Volume up and down buttons, and hold them to skip tracks forward and back.
http://www.monoprice.com/products/p...=10827&cs_id=1082702&p_id=8582&seq=1&format=2
I currently use these at work to listen to music, podcasts, calls, Skype sessions, etc. Very good sound quality for the price, though I think my Jaybirds sound a little better. They're very comfortable, easy to pair, and have great battery life. I can usually go 3 days on a single charge, 20ish hours. Play/pause and track controls on the left earpiece, volume on the right. I probably wouldn't use them for working out as the ear pieces have a faux leather padding that would probably start to smell when exposed to a lot of sweat.
http://www.amazon.com/Jabra-HALO-Bluetooth-Stereo-Headset/dp/B002PY7P2K
These are probably the most "stylish" of the headphones I own. Sound quality is good, they're very comfortable, and compact because you can fold them up. Controls on the right ear piece, and volume and track controls are actually touch controlled, and not by buttons. However, they are very prone to fall off your head so I wouldn't recommend them unless you're pretty stationary, like desk work. Battery life isn't spectacular either, 10ish hours. I currently use them as a headset for my PS3 because they're not noise canceling, so I can chat and still hear the game.
http://www.amazon.com/Rocketfish-High-Definition-Headphones-Bluetooth-Enabled-RF-MAB2/dp/B002V5OYHC
Similar to the Monoprice headphones but not as comfortable. However, I felt they did offer better sound quality.

Stereo Bluetooth Headset
I have a Sony SBH20, its great. You can use your own headphones with it, although their is nothing wrong with the ones that come with it just a very short cable. It also has a NFC chip in it, so no fussing about with pairing, just tap the phone to the device and it will turn on Bluetooth, and pair immediately. Before I had the Sony MW600 which was also good but the SBH20 has a much MUCH better clip and can actually be attached to your belt, pocket etc, I have it clipped to either my front inside jacket pocket or to my front right pants pocket if I am using a longer pair of headphones. It feels incredibly sturdy, it feels like it will outlive my phone.
Yes those are the tones. I have the tones + or 730 model are these the type your looking for? And battery life is awesome I am charging every three days or so and I watch a lot of Netflix using them and the normal games and talking.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
I really like my Tones (730's). Very convenient, great battery life, comfortable, and the controls are easy to reach.
But with that said I mainly listen to podcasts. For music they are mediocre at best, but I would guess most bluetooth headsets are (unless you want to drop a bunch of coin on the Sennheisers - and even then, it's still bluetooth).
I was looking at the tones, but the neckband thing might get annoying..
I play golf so not sure if it might get in the way or maybe come off during my swing... Is there anyway to remove the neckband thing and still work?

I play golf 2. And while I don't listen to music on the golf course, I just put mine on & hit a few balls into my practice net and it is not a problem. It fits under your collar and doesn't really move around much in the swing.
I have the Plantronic BackBeat Go. Very light weight, solid product. It's an in-ear style so it blocks out a lot of outside noise which is great but just pay attention while waking across a street.
Battery life is approx 5-6 hours for me. It could be longer but the unit itself is so small... Where would they put a bigger battery? LOL!
I'd recommend them.

They're ok, but as I said, compared to good wired buds (akg, senn, shure, etc.) they are mediocre at best. But for fifty bucks I wasn't expecting great sound quality.
I prefer the extended highs setting, and wished it didn't always reset to the heavy bass setting at power on.
I really like my Motorola S10-HD headset... It pairs quickly, and eliminates the cords. I find that the headset needs to be at almost full volume most of the time, though, as it is a little quiet. This may be a design choice to keep the battery life high...

You're not going to believe me but these are GREAT. Nothing compares to the sound of these within at least $30. And I have tried a ton of brands. Don't let the price deter you. It comes with 3 sizes of rubber fitting things.
Edit: No mic. Still recommend for excellent audio.

My preference for workout is wired buds (I don't like the rubber in-ear ones as much). I have some Motorola, Senhouser (sp?), and an old pair from blackberry. I actually like the blackberry ones best. I see them offered all the time for $5 or so.
Degauss Pocket headphones don't work
I'm also on the hunt for headphones after switching from iPhone - I want in ear wired buds that let me use in-line controls. I ordered the Sol Republic Jax from the motorola website, which are single button version. With the headset control app, it works ok, letting me pause and play music, pick up calls, and even skip tracks and control volumes although with an annoying two (forward), three (back) and four (volume) clicks. But i think the mic is too far down the headphones, it knocks against my jackets and doesn't pick up sound well when i make calls outside, which is where i mostly use my headphones to make calls from.
So I ordered a pair of Degauss Labs Pocket headphones, advertised as 3 button android headphones. Got them today, they don't even work as single button headphones, so annoying. With the headphones plugged in and nothing playing, I can hear soft clicks when i press the buttons so I know something is being transmitted by the buttons, but nothing happens on my phone, even with the Degauss headphone controller app. Sad, because they're great looking headphones with good sound and the mic is positioned (logically) close to your face.
And the hunt continues - any suggestions for good earbuds with at least a 1 button but ideally 3 button in line control that isn't set up to be the Y splitter of the headphone cord (ie halfway down my body)?
Wired headphones I would like one with a mic so that. I. Don't have to touch my phone. I would like to be able to just leave it in my pocket and say " ok google play..." and well I guess use the same features as if the phone was on the table. Not sure if it would do that with just any hardphones since I don't have any yet.
I have seen the jay bird bluetooth ear buds are a winner with most people but don't know how they work on the moto x
LG HBS 900's.
Yuin Pk2 with Yurbuds sleeves. I own thousands upon thousands of dollars worth of headphones and those are my go-to set. Hands down the best sounding, most musical, and just downright fun pair of buds you can get for under $100. And the Yurbuds sleeves make them comfortable enough to wear all day long and improve the bass response a fair amount. They don't have any buttons, but I'd much rather have an amazing set of headphones with no buttons than a mediocre set with them.
I've got Shure E2Cs that are a decade old (amazing build quality), VSONIC R04 Pros and a couple sets of the $7 Monoprice earbuds. For the gym, running and general wandering around town, the monoprice ones are what I use. Pretty darn durable, sound pretty good and so cheap I don't worry about 'em. When you're moving you're going to be hearing your body and the cord and not paying that much attention, so why spend $$$ on anything other than good fit, decent clarity and some good bass?
I have Yamaha EPH100SL for mobility and Bowers & Wilkins P5 for everything else.
Jesus does anyone have anything reasonable in price that has a mic and controls?
These threads always turn into a brag fest who has the most expensive stuff.
I just got the Aftershokz Bluez 2 Bluetooth headphones and they are seriously slick. They use bone conduction and rest on your cheekbones in front of your ears so there is nothing that goes in or on your ears leaving them wide open. You can listen to music and still hear everything making them great for work. The sound quality isn't the greatest but considering their convenience, it's more than acceptable. They work as a normal bluetooth headset too so you can make calls with them too. I'd check 'em out, they're really neat!

who's bragging? we're only answering the question that the poster asked. "I was wondering what kind of headphones do people use for their moto x?" theres this thing called "research". i think you should do this if you dont like any of our suggestions.

Well, I use a cheap pair of old Blackberry ear buds most of the time, as I have a bunch of them and keep a set in the car, my desk, etc. I prefer the ear bud style to these new in-ear things. My recommendation is always Sennheiser. The old MX line are my choice if I don't want a microphone (based on them being buds). The new CX 5.00 look really nice. MM70s are probably the best suited to standard Android phones. I have HD 280 Pros for home use, about 4 times the size of my phone.
To use them at the gym, I would go bluetooth. Something like a Motorola S10, S11, or SF 500. They can be had for $50 or less and let you put your phone down someplace safe.
EtymotIc HF2. Same pair I've used for M8, Nexus 5, MotoX (OG). Nothing specific or special per phone.

soundmagic mp-21, but it just has one button, soundquality is excellent expecially for a set less than 30 euros, there also is the E10M, which has 3 buttons but only one works in android they say (but that might be oem specific) for less than 50 euros. Google them, I think many audiophiles believe you cannot get better value for money
I have my old Motorola X 2013 headphones, great enough
How about Amazon headphones. Well better than their $10 price tag and the magnet feature is cool.
I'm going to post this again..
Trust me on these GREAT sound. Arguably better than most in ear headphones under $50. You can't lose for $8.
