Bluetooth portable speakers for Nexus One?

Can anyone recommend a compatible bluetooth speaker for the Nexus One?
I tried my friend's wireless speakers for his Sony Ericsson Satio but my phone couldn't even detect it.
I'm looking at the Sony Ericsson MBS-100/200 at present.

What are you looking to spend? I use the $200 foxL by Soundmatters, but that may be out of your budget. Another I like a lot are the Ipevo Tubulars.

I bought the Yamaha NX-B02 when they use to be $39.99 with free shipping from Newegg a while ago.
Newegg: Yamaha - Bluetooth Wireless Stereo Speaker (Compatible w/ iPhone) NX-B02WH [CNet Review]
Looks like they've gone up in price. The MSRP was $199.99 and when it first hit the street, it was around $139.99.
Works great with my BB 9700 & N1 and even at $59.99, still a decent deal for what it does but when it was $39.99, it was hot.
Cheers,
Kermee
P.S. I've seen white & black versions of it, but I think I've seen other colors too.

Personally I'd wait until next month when Creative's bluetooth Z100 and Z200 speakers hit the market. They're supposed to be pretty sweet and priced well

Did you know the Desktop Dock for the Nexus One is Bluetooth?
You can use it without putting the phone in the dock.
You can manually connect to it and all sounds/media will be sent to the dock.
You can then use the 3.5mm headphone jack out from the dock and plug it into a stereo.

The nexus one dock is damn expensive. I'm using a case also so it will be a problem.
I only have limited budget, at only around $50.

I think you need to re-read my message again.
The Nexus One desktop Dock is BLUETOOTH. You do NOT need to put the phone in the dock to connect to it. It's pretty cool. And it's $40. And you can plug it into any stereo.
I was lucky and got one on eBay for $40 free ship too

It's also not portable as the thread title asked for. You'd have to plug the over priced dock in where ever you take it.

Agree. I can't play music then whereever I'd like to

Seriously? No headphones?

How can they not include a set of headphones?
I have my own for music pair, they have a mic but they're in-ear so they make me talk louder than I should. I was hoping to have another pair for phone usage. :/
Anyone know of a cheap pair I could get?

I got a set, heavily discounted, of the ink'd Skullcandy (ugh) when I picked up the phone this morning. Better than nothing, and dirt cheap.

Can anyone recommend some headphones with a mic?

$45, and you can use your own earbuds.

I suggest everyone checkout head-fi.org and do a search.

I figure I'll drop some dime on the LG HBS-700 headphones. I have a friend who uses those with his Evo 4g, and they are AWESOME.

So will any iPhone compatible headset / mic combo be fully functional with the g2x?
I tried a blackberry headset and the mic did not work, while the button did control music and voice dialer.

I'm guessing no headphones and sdcard is how they got the price of the phone down to $499 off contract

Nice headphones and sounds good also.

a pair of cheap headphones cost at max like what, $2-$4?
I can buy an HDMI cable myself for $5. LG can probably obtain them in bulk for $2 each.
SD cards are a little more expensive, so I can understand that because they included some internal storage. But still, a 4GB card is pretty cheap. But I don't care, I have a collection of microSDs from a 512mb to a couple 8GBs. I have my 16GB inside right now.

dont forget no hdmi / mini hdmi to connect it to the phone that they are so adamant about advertising for. (not as easy to find as a normal hdmi/hdmi cable)

Got these from newegg for my Samsung Vibrant after the headphones Samsung gave me broke. So far they've been great for the price and I love the quality of the wire. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16826735014&Tpk=m9p

I bought Jlab j3m earbuds from amazon and just tested them out. Sound quality is great, and the mic also works well with the g2x. 1 click of the button will pause/play the music or answer/hang up call. A long press brings up the voice dialer but it doesn't work- it gets stuck on 'starting up'.
Has anybody experienced a similar issue of a stuck voice dialer?
Maybe this can be fixed with a different rom?

I'm using a pair of nuforce ne8 that I bought from Amazon for 50. These headphones sound great and has lasted 2 years and counting. Hope this helps

I agree. I'd rather not have to be forced to pay for cheap headphones or a dinky 2-4GB card anyway since most people like me would upgrade to something bigger and better.
The dual cores make this piece of hardware pretty pricey ..

anybody experiencing similar issue?

Go to monoprice.com and search for "micro hdmi". They have many lengths and prices are great.
I'm still unsure which headphones (with integrated mic, non-BT) to get. :/

OH PLEASE ! stop making excuses for these cheap mo fo's... no excuse for not having a sd card and or head phones! it probably costs lg 10$ to make this phone.
its the way of the future m'boy! everything is made in china with the cheapest of the cheap, and amenities are a thing of the past.
BUT...I am loving my g2x so far, even though the whole no sd card or earphones, is bs. thats like wsamsung not including a flash on the GS...whats up with that?
but so far most of the other complaints have not appeared on my g2x runs sweet. I did end up sticking a C4 16gb card inside, and that did seem to help a lot!
rooted FTW!

Can you successfully use voice dialer with it? Has anybody used voice dialer with wired headphones?

How many people actually use the cheap headphones iPods and cell phones come with? Go to the 99 cents store and those are the quality that comes with most cell phones.
You should buy some decent headphones that will last you through several cell phones. The Klipsch IMAGE S4 is very good. Pricey but you will hear sounds and bass you can't hear with cheap ones. I had Shures and other ones but the Klipsch is my favorite ones.

These free Sony MDR-1R headphones they're giving away...

Right. Who thinks these are actually going to be any good?
http://www.sony.co.uk/product/hps-prestige-headband/mdr-1r
The list price is £299, yet they're GIVING them away with every Xperia Z. I can't see any for sale yet on ebay, but I expect there will be a glut of them throughout March!
I have no interest in them, I'll be selling them straight on, but if I was buying I wouldn't pay more than 10% of the retail price.

Plenty of reviews on the web saying they ARE good headphones.
They're giving them away because they don't cost Sony £299 to make them.
There are some for sale on ebay, with people explaining they won't have them till March. IMO, they will be lucky to get the £150+ they are asking, when you can buy them new with a warranty for £170ish.
Having a good pair of headphones is great, I have a £300 pair of Sennheisers and I'll still be keeping these Sony's.

I wouldn't be complaining about free headphones.... This is a special deal only to people in the UK! Be grateful because some people like myself who live in another country couldn't get this if we wanted to.

Also to people in The Netherlands and probably more countries.

Reviews on these headphones indicate they're excellent quality for the asking price and VERY comfortable. I'm surprised Sony is providing them as I feel they're actually TOO good for something like this, but eh, more power to them for actually doing this.
I hope Canadians get something nice when we get the ZL

Seriously? Even at their RRP they are pretty good headphones that are suited for almost all kinds of music. They really sound pretty good, they look great and they are probably the most comfortable headphones I have ever tried. What kind of headphones do you usually use then?

Im not going to get them cause i'll buy my Xperia without that deal ( not from carrier ) but i'd love to have them so if any of you want to sell theirs for reasonable price via ebay - i might be interested

I hope we get something with the ZL as well.... But knowing how much of an asshole the Canadian providers are.... There probably won't even be a preorder. If you really want these headphones it might be worth ordering from three with a 1 month contract... If they will even internationally ship it.

I can't get on with over-the-ear heapdhones at all - I just don't find them comfortable. I have a pair of Sennheiser in-ear buds that are a couple of years old but they produce really good quality sound and I can wear them all day comfortably.

If you're still interested when I have them, then I'm happy to talk about it

These are great headphones, I own a pair... For F***s sake, now I'm mad cause I bought them about 6 months ago.
If you're 100% certain for this phone You should pre-order for the headphones, they're a great piece of cans. One of the best I've tried.
I was planning to wait to buy it and wait for some price drops... If I just didn't buy these headphones. I would've made a great deal
Oh well - Sh** happens.

i mean look at the reviews on amazon http://goo.gl/GIUab they look to be pretty good
only 17 reviews but 15 of them are either 4 or 5 stars which isnt to bad

I have the headphones, still sealed and boxed. They're on ebay, but if anyone's interested, PM me with an offer?

I live in holland and we had the same pre-order deal here.... So i got one, a silver one. Not sure if other countries offered the same.

wow,look at the prices of these on ebay.
Before the XZ came out, these were selling for lik £180, now there's so many, they're going for like £70-80!
might be time to buy some.
it annoys me giving money to scalpers, but then, they're gonna get less than half of what they wanted for them!

They're actually very good headphone, however is anyone else having problems with the volume up & down buttons?
On mine they don't do anything the play/pause button works fine tho.

The remote control is designed to work with iOS devices such as iPhone, iPad ect. It don't necessarily work on Android.
I just use the cable without the remote control.

Well that makes no sense, Sony headphones bundled with a Sony phone...... works better with an iphone!!
I'll probably still use the cable with the remote at least I can play/pause with it.

Just use the normal cable with a Sony bt heidset, atleast then the phone has no cables...

Headphone suggestion $25-30

I'm looking for a good pair of earbuds for around $25-30. It'd be nice if it had working controls, but im mainly looking for a pair that will stay in my ear. I really liked my iBeats and apple 5th gen earbuds. If anyone could find me an amazon or ebay link to the genuine galaxy s3 earbuds, that would be greatly appreciated too

I completely disagree with the recommendation. Unless you want the controller, you are far better off with something like Vsonic GR02 for example. It's slightly above your budget but you also get a far superior sound.

I don't know about $25-30 but a while back I purchased the Monoprice 108320 Enhanced Bass Hi-Fi Noise Isolating Earphones and even though they don't have any controls, I believe them to be the best for under $15. The only problem is the that it's best to buy new tips and they tend to coil other than that I love and the sound quality is pretty fantastic.

These are amazing

I have Koss porta pro headphones that I bought on eBay years ago probably were closer to $50 but the ksc75 is cheaper and almost the same. For out and about when I don't want to wear ugly looking headphones I have some vmoda in ear I got on eBay a couple years ago for somewhere between $30 and $50 I think. They aren't too bad and they hold up well.

BEST HEADphone for my note 4 FROM XIAOMI

hello guys i got a headphone from china which is so well build and gives so fine sound.
if you want to share this with you
http://www.gearbest.com/earphones/pp_182191.html
i got it from here because they only sell 100 % original to good prices
ah pay with paypal so you safe twice

I guess you're a child or young teenager since you bought the "Youth" model. Those probably wouldn't be the best option for the majority of XDA users, though.
In my opinion, the best Xiaomi earbuds are these http://m.gearbest.com/earphones/pp_169225.html, though I definitely would NOT buy from that site...

I bought a pair of the piston 3 lately, really good stuff for only $17. Bought 3 more for my coworkers and an extra pair as backup. Got them from geekbuying, and it shipped to me in NYC in a week.

I use the piston II inner ear phones. Awesome for the ridiculous price and a darn site better than the Seinheisers AND BOSE I have.
For headphones I use Sony MBT 10DBR

i have the piston 3 after a month the head jack comes off although everything still works fine but it looks ugly now. i would not buy them again even though they sounded great. i have the piston 2 it lasted over 6 months.
