It's been a few years since I've purchased it, but the I the have Jawbone Icon and it works great. Though I have yet to use it on my S4. I mostly bought it to use for long talk sessions with my girlfriend (now wife) so I wouldn't tire of holding the phone. I never wore it out anywhere, just not one of those people. Nor in my truck, as it has built in Bluetooth capability.
Good luck on finding one that is right for you. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

Jabra Sport or Plantronics BackBeat GO 2 (I Have the plantronics BBgo2 , I'm Happy :victory: ).

How is the call quality on the plantronics backbeat? Especially while driving, etc.

i have a sliver... and no issues. i LOVE IT

I am using the Plantronics Legend. I work on corporate and travel a lot. It has great battery life and excellent soind quality. Also like the gesture and voice features (e.g., pick up to answer). Also good enough to use with Dragon Naturally Speaking transcription software. It just works amazingly well. I upgraded from Jawbone Icon. Would highly recommend.

Call quality its fair, the bb2go it's intended for stereo music listening.
If call quality is your concern, the best is the plantronics voyager pro (mono sound)

Still using my blue parrot. Do I look stupid, yes. But by far the best noise canceling, loudest headset I've ever had!

Jaybird Bluebuds X, that's what I have work great and last all day. They are expensive $170 but there are some 20% off coupons online I found one and if you buy it on their online store you don't have to pay taxes. At least I didn't.

If you're looking for an A2DP bluetooth stereo headset I really like my LG Tone though one of the earbuds cracked on the seam, but nothing a little superglue won't cure. I've been using it while riding my motorcycle and the sound is crisp and clear though lacking a lot of bass (I like my bass). All in all I'd buy it again.

the next model up is also available, heard the audio on it is even better though the noise canceling isn't as great as the first one.
http://www.amazon.com/LG-Electronics-Tone-HBS-730-Bluetooth/dp/B009A5204K
just my thoughts.

I use my Bose Bluetooth Headset Series 2 just about every day, all day. I love it. Sound quality is great and the battery life is insane.

Surprisingly, I use a full size sony headphone with ear cushion and notice no decline in battery charge compared to the out of box ear buds. The sound is much better and not too cumbersome. Price? ,,,about $40 but usable on the home stereo also.
i use a pair of meelectronics m11+ that has an inline mic control, these can be picked up for around 30-40
I got a pair similar to the oem headphones, off of Monoprice for a few bucks. They have a half dozen to choose from.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA Premium App
I found the OEM headphones quite terrible sounding. Now I an using UE TripleFi 10vi. It's very natural sounding and it takes advantage of the wolfson WM8994 DAC with voodoo 6 control & audio kernel by supercurio.
Yeah amazon has the best deals for headphones. As long as the title says OEM your good to go. I was about to buy a pair but I'll just wait till my current ones die out on me from sweat or the plug in messing up like all my other headphones. They've lasted quite a while though.
I use the black berry premium that have the music controls on them. However the music controls only bring up your calls list and dial your last number called. Sound is great.

What price is braking the bank for you. I could offer up a recommendation for your price range.
Believe it or not I got a pair of skull candies from fred meyer on sale for only $8 and they re great. The stock headphones have a mic though for answering calls. If you just want to jam though, get some skull candies on sale. They are awesome

Turtle beaches. I think I have the x 12's,but I'm not sure.
Make sure you youtube the video on how to use them simultaneously with hdmi output. You have to use the composite cable that came with your xbox, and you need to pop off the plastic housing on the xbox end with a butter knife to get it all to fit. This way you dont have to spend any extra $$ on various cables.
Duely blundered from my thunderdolt.
Not saying Amazon reviews are the most legit, but the X12's have better reviews than the AX120's. I've never bought from the site that I linked by the way, I just saw them there for cheap. And like someone already mentioned, you have to use the composite cable that came with the XBox if you use HDMI. If you don't use HDMI, don't worry about anything. If you do, you need to cut off the plastic "flap." I just used a knife, took my time, and cut it off. Now I can plug in the composite and HDMI at the same time.
Once you use a decent set of headphones, you'll never want to use the stock headset again.

Yeah, after I saw the sale for the trittons I saw people saying they weren't any good. I might just go with a cheap pair of turtle beach for now. Thinking about just getting the turtle beach communicator it's only $25 but it's just for chat.

HTC ONE or S4? confused... help!

I love Galaxy s series but its the plastic, i'm bored with paying a premium for a handset the feels cheap. So, HTC one when i sell my s3
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
Get the HTC One. It actually feels like a premium phone, has a great display and by far the best speakers on a phone. The S4 is more of the same with a bunch of gimmicky features you'll never use.
Did U hear by your self that speaker on HTC one is the best or U just think?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
I haven't heard it yet but there is pretty much a unanimous agreement by professional tech sites that it has the best speakers on a mobile device right now. I seriously doubt the S4's tiny little speaker will beat that.

I am using these ones Kinivo BTH220 Bluetooth Stereo Headphone already more the a year. All I can say the sound is truly amazing. The quality is good as well. Work time is very long and they are very comfortable. Also me useful buttons on the sides. Just go to Amazon and search for them Kinivo BTH220 Bluetooth Stereo Headphone. I bough them when they costed around 19 pounds. Didn't experience any issue while using them.

The stock headphones are the worst. I can't figure out how such an amazing phone came with such crap headphones. Lose 'em and don't look back.
So is there a built in FM tuner in this phone or is it using the headphones themselves to tune radio stations?

Well, I wholeheartedly disagree with your disagreement
Seriously, there's no noise isolation between the buds and the cables, meaning that they pick up way too much friction and impact noise from contact with your body and clothing; the control button is very flakey, and they're difficult to pack neatly for travel. And they just don't sound that great to me. My (listen-only) 10 year-old Koss PortaPros are head and shoulders above the HTCs as far as fidelity, isolation and frequency response is concerned. And while they're not technically as portable as the HTCs, they're actually worth the effort of taking along.*
I'm sure they have their strong points for you, but mine are hanging around only as headphones-of-last-resort.
* Am I the only guy that actually travels with no less than three sets of headphones? Bose QC-2s for in-flight, the Koss PPs for exercise and casual listening, and Apple earbuds for when I need to be mobile yet still able to answer the phone . . . And sometimes I bring my Mee AF-32s when I'm going to be in one place for a while. It's nice to be cable-free when the activity demands it, like cooking or doing chores.
