How do you like it? I was thinking of picking up either the Tone or Tone+ for my father for Christmas. Audio and bluetooth quality acceptable?
I was thinking the same thing, but although I used my headset with the G2x.

The headset is definitely worth the money. Audio quality is good, no distortion even at high volume, and this thing is LOUD. Best bluetooth headset out there. Be sure to get the HBS-700 and not the 730

I like it and I would recommend it.
Unlike typical behind the ear design, I can put one ear bud on while working. It's very light, and can be tucked under the neck of my shirt. Sometimes I even forget I have it on... Also like that the ear buds got held in place by magnet when not in use, kind of cool.
Sound quality... I am not an audiophile so it's good enough for my use, can't tell the difference anyway.

If you look at the reviews, you will see that the range has significantly decreased with the 730. It seems to cut off whenever you walk away from the device. With the 700, I can be like 40ft away with no issues. It's also cheaper, and doesn't seem to be much of an upgrade.

Check out their respective Amazon.com pages. The 700 has overwhelming 5 star reviews, while the 730 is much more evenly distributed between low and high scores.

Yeah, the reviews might be different on other sites. But I've trusted Amazon for the past several years.
Was considering these for running. Any inputs on that front? How secure are they? I have heard chafing and irritation due to the band? Also, how is the isolation?

I'm a very active person, and I pretty much ALWAYS have these headphones around my neck. I love running with them, especially since they're water-resistant, so sweat isn't an issue. The only thing which is weird is when you're trying to bench with them on. They don't do to well when you're lying flat on your back. It's manageable though.
These headphones isolate sound very well. I sometimes can't even hear cars honking at me while I'm running.

Are these available in local BestBuys or Target? That way, if I don't find them to my liking, I could easily get a refund
I'm looking for the best Bluetooth headphones and the best Bluetooth keyboard. I already know the headphones will be pricey but I'm willing to spend the extra amount if it's worth it lol

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.
Bluebuds X
Personally, I'm gonna buy those.
So my Nexus 5's speaker is absolute garbage compared to my Nexus 5. the range is just non-existent and it has incredibly bad distortion during phone calls, and most music and videos.
Right now i'm ready to return the phone and spend another year with my nexus 4 over it, but before i do, i'm curious to know if mine might just be defective.
So to all the other owners, do you have distortion, pops and the like when making phone calls or having any audio through and how does it compare to your previous phones, especially any other Nexus 4 owners.
Right now my N4 sounds like my $150 desktop speakers compared to the N5.

Yeah that's why i'm posting because i find it incredibly hard to believe that the Nexus 5, in 20 god damn 13 had worse speakers than my G1 from 2008. And just to test, i broke out my G1, MyTouch 3G and Nexus One, and played the same ringtones on each. No distortion on any device but the N5.
The Verge even said in their review that they had distortion on the speaker which almost leads me to think this is normal, and unacceptable.

all reviews are saying the speaker is terrible. same with the camera. but they're comparing it to 600+ dollar phones, you get what you pay for, the bulk on the 350 dollars is going toward the processor and screen

That is true, but my $300 Nexus 4 from a year ago sounds 100 times better than my $400 (32gb) nexus 5 from this year.
And also the whole $700/$350 thing is kinda bull****. Though that phone does cost $700 to buy, it costs the same as what a nexus costs, usually around $150-$200 to produce. Google just cuts out all the middle men and carrier BS to get the price to be that low. Yes they do make sacrifices but my damn G1 sounds better than my Nexus 5, so that has nothing to do with cost.

No, it's not just you, I thought it was me!
I came from an HTC One X and the call quality is terrible; a bit like what I imagine being a little bit deaf is like and when I'm playing a video or have a call on speaker, the thing buzzes and vibrates. Not good compared to my previous phone.
ugh. this isn't looking good. i really was hoping i was the only one. Hope we get a lot more replies here tonight.
Only one speaker?
On mine I noticed only one side is playing the music? anyone else?
I'm hoping it's something like a mic and speaker... and not a deffective

thats correct. one side is the speaker and one is the mic. evidently this is normal practice on the iphone and many other devices. I just found out today.
Hows your quality though?
Two things i hear the crackle/pop on guaranteed is the ringing of a phone call and for some reason Lindsey Stirlings Crystalize, the first 30-40 seconds. lots of other examples but those two are the easiest and most noticeable i found.

Just got my white 32gb N5 today and indeed mine is suffering from similar issues. At first I was thinking my right speaker was DOA but I later learned it's not a speaker at all and is a mic - the N5 is a mono device. So, I played some music, an audio book and tried out some ringtones. A pop was audible on some ringtones and the audiobook. The sound gets pretty distorted when at the top two levels. I wonder if the pop is down to the audio coding because now I've downloaded higher quality files, the pop has gone away and distortion not quite as bad at high levels. Yet to try out a phone call over the speaker.
I've tested some music at 320 bit rate and hd video on youtube and the play store and same issues. and then no issues at all on the nexus 4.
Great I was so excited to purchase my first nexus phone. Ugh

You know, I was at Pete's Coffee last night with my girlfriend and 2 people were talking next to us about this exact same issue. A man in his early 30s was talking to a buddy of his about the Nexus 5, and naturally, I zoned out from what my girlfriend had to say overheard their conversation.
They were talking about the Nexus 5 and how one of them who had the phone loved it, except he said the speaker was very poor quality.
Hopefully mine does not have this issue when it arrives this Thursday.
The Nexus 5's speaker is actually pretty darn good. Not quite HTC One level but damn close. It uses the same chip technology the HTC One has but only has a mono speaker on the bottom edge instead. It should be MUCH better than the Nexus 4, the Galaxy S4, or similar.
If it is sounding distorted, it is quite possibly a damaged speaker or chip, and should be RMA'ed. Reviews (unlike what some whacko said) have actually been pretty positive about the speaker.

Your now the second person i've seen to say that it's good. How much have you tested it though? phone calls? loud movies? music?
I want to keep this phone, or at least get a replacement, but i got about 5 people with me saying they have similar issues so it's getting harder to imagine that it's a defect.
My sound is pretty faint. I'll be lucky if I hear a text or call

I have played music from a couple different sources at full volume and I haven't heard any distortion.
I actually just watched a full review of the phone here in the General section, and he says the speaker is absolutely great! although he does not ever test in the video.
Been using mine all day. A bit of music and a fair few YouTube video and I've not noticed any problems at all. Nowhere near as loud as the Note 2 I'm coming from, but few phones are as loud as it. So far I'm happy with speaker quality

Well since some of you do not seem to have this issue I'm going to hope those of us with it just have defective units and i'm going to exchange mine.
If the one i get has the same issues though, i'll be sticking with my Nexus 4 for another year.

So researching and most reviews are saying that the jaybird bluebuds x2 are the current best.
My dog ate my LG tone pro hbs 730 which are older but good.
Trying to figure out best ones to get. Want great sound and something great for running as well. I hear the x2 cover all that. Specially with the comply buds that come with it now.
The other was considering as the new lg infinim. Up to other suggestions as well.
Sent from my non-Mega loved v10 H901.
I'd like to get on ear or over ear, something small tho. The in ear tend to hurt me, on ear might if they are too tight.
I recommend the hbs-810 or second gen tone ultra. Half the footprint of the tone infinim with retractable earbuds. The x2 is my best sport headphone set but isn't ideal for office environments. That is where the tone shines.

Ive found expensive bt headphones dont sound much better, but perhaps last long fit btter look better or have more features.
My point wasnt to buy them on groupon or that they had any btter price, but more a comparision at sub $40-50 worth buying~
Ive seen some recomendations, features, look and talk about how it feels after wearing for a while. Once i can determine decent ones ill search for pricing.
For more proof and excellent reviews of headphones in anyone's price range

So I know the Note 7 does not support aptX. I'm seeing Samsung list UHQ Audio as a feature. Is that a high bitrate streaming thing? I see the Samsung Level U Pro Bluetooth Wireless In-ear Headphones on amazon support it and is reviewed well. I know i've been disappointed by blutooth streaming in the past so i'm hoping this UHQ thing is a better alternative.
I have the over ear Level On Pro, with PowerAmp beta, I get flawless 24\192, wireless, play back. It is particularly good when playing native hi-res music from the SDCard. It is better then AptX. I have had many bluetooth headphones over the yeas and this is the best I've heard. I also have the Level U Pro when I need less gear. They are also quite an improvement over similar configured, behind the neck, equipment. UHQ is the real thing.
I'm using sennheiser pxc550 and they are very good quality. No issues at all.

Thanks, think i'll treat myself to the Level U Pro. I need something to play music while i'm working on cars and do prefer higher quality stuff.
Hows the range on the Level U? I grabbed some lg tone 810 last night and the range sucks. Step 5 feet away and it's crackling, 10 and it's searching to reconnect and in clear line of sight
If your looking for sound quality, my Bose SoundLink (Bluetooth) are amazing. And, you can use them for calls too.

Well I had the phone inside my car while I worked around it. I would guess I got like 10 feet away from it and had no issues. They sound great and were only 60 bucks off amazon.

I assume you need to have DVC disabled in poweramp settings, otherwise it might override UHQ?

So I know the Note 7 does not support aptX. I'm seeing Samsung list UHQ Audio as a feature. Is that a high bitrate streaming thing? I see the Samsung Level U Pro Bluetooth Wireless In-ear Headphones on amazon support it and is reviewed well. I know i've been disappointed by blutooth streaming in the past so i'm hoping this UHQ thing is a better alternative.

which is odd, because Samsung did include some apt-x system files in the note 7 firmware.
why would they include the files, if they're not supporting the feature they're for.
i didn't find the apt-x reference at the time.I must have missed it. I have 3 APT-X headphones. UHQ is lots better.
Cant go wrong with bluebuds x2. I also use a UE Boom2 and love it... I am looking for completely wireless so im looking at Bragi right now. I have heard good things
I purchased a pair of Plantronic Backbeat Go2's almost 4 years ago for about $175.00 when there were only a few options out there for bluetooth in-ear stereo headphones. The sound quality is still top notch, the range is alright (I get a clear signal 20 - 25 ft from my phone), the battery life sucks (at the time 4 hours was phenomenal, though).
Most importantly, Plantronics customer service is unbeatable. They've replaced 2 pairs for me outside of the 12 month warranty period- the first was in response to a tweet where I praised the sound quality but was "bummed they called in quits after 16 months". The entire replacement process took place over twitter and I got a new pair within a week. The second just took another private message via twitter to the person that had previously contacted me, and I had another pair a few days later... Unfortunately, my lawn mower got the better of them this weekend.
At $39.00 on Amazon now, they're well worth it. I've got a pair on the way and am just waiting to test the Backbeat Go3's to determine whether I'll spring for a pair of those as well or go for the over-ear Backbeat Pro+.

Got those and Jaybirds x2, the UFO Plus are very good and has nice bass.
I've been using a pair of Olixar X2 Pro for about 6 months now, I'm not a sound quality nut but my dad is a bit of a sound snob and he was quite impressed with them
Absolutely no complaints from me and they were under $60 if iirc.
Thanks for all the replys and input . I ended up grabbing some Platonic backbeat fits.
I do construction and they stay on great with my daily activity. VERY comfortable when in ears and the range is great as well.
I had the LG tone 910s tandhe day before returned them , I couldn't get 5 feet from my phone without it crackling, 8 feet and I lost connection totally.

I got a kitsound manhattan wireless headphone and it sounded great. Bass doesn't break on the loudest volume and treble blends well.
But when I got my Sony SBH70 wireless earphones, I have the best audio experience ever. It's not bulky, sweatproof and lasts long.
I wonder if on the SD 820 variant the Aptx does work as I am suprised by the sound quality of my N9300 .
