I got mine from amazon.

Unfortunately it doesn't have bluetooth, so if you wanna go wireless with it, I suggest getting this.

haha this is pretty awesome. nice and portable
I've though about getting one of these.
http://www.thinkgeek.com/electronics/portable-audio-video/c458/
I doubt it would sound as nice as the X-Mini, but it would at least allow me to have a speaker pointed towards me while still being able to have my phone face up and be able to control it.
I also though about getting two of those speakers and one of these as well.
http://www.thinkgeek.com/computing/speakers/headsets/abf9/
Then make two custom cable separating out the left and right channels and I could have truly stereo sound in a small key chain friendly package.

the second link is just a splitter, you'd end up with MONO still. You want one of these http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2102691
Looks pretty cool but too bad it doesn't have bluetooth.
Yeah that's the only downfall. But I love the audio. It's unbelievable.

It would come across as mono if I just plugged the speakers right into the splitter. My idea would be to make two custom cable, one only connecting the right channel and the other only connecting the left channel. I would use some wire with white insulation, find a pair of white adapter and solder them up myself. I may be overkill, but I enjoy doing that kind of stuff, and it would all match and be much more aesthetic.
Amazing. I love it. Any links on deals on this product? Thank you for the find. I've been looking for something like this
I'm assuming your talking about the X-Mini. If so, then check out Thinkgeek, they have all kinds of stuff like that. I'm sure if you do some searching, you could find it cheaper, but I like using Thinkgeek when I can cause they are well know and respected and won't disappear tomorrow like some of these fly-by-night ebay dealers (i.e. Replace/refund if not satisfied or defective)
Oh, and just though I'd add, I love the link in your signature.
Thanks for the video.
Seems to be better than any portable speakers i've seen.
http://www.amazon.com/XMI-X-Mini-II-Capsule-Speaker/product-reviews/B001UEBN42
This is where I got mine. I've searched a bit, but theyre pretty much the same price.
EDIT: Oh by the way, make sure its the X-Mini II the 1st version wasn't that great.

Thanks a lot. Watching movies listening to music and online radio will be a blast. BTW... how many speakers you planning on ordering? I'm thinking about maybe 6 or 7 and also use them for my laptop. Thank you so much for this find.
You're very welcome bro. I got 2 for now. I can always get more, but 2is more than enough for me as of the moment.

Definitely Props to you man, I love toying around with random things as well.
Looks like there is a MAX version too that looks cool - stereo sound
search for this: X-Mini MAX II
All those that want bluetooth with it - I have BT headphone with a 3.5mm jack so you can use your own choice of headphone in them, the headphones can always be swapped for any other devices with a line in like these speakers.
Yes the max is pretty good too... I just like how the X-mini II looks like, the max looks kinda ugly IMO but its all bout personal preference, (besides the stereo of course) although, I heard there is a way to make the X-mini II stereo... Ill research more then get back to you guys bout it.

so wait... the x-mini MAX 2 is an upgraded version of x-mini? i dont really like the way the two speakers split i like the x-mini more.
Kinda, its a newer version. But I wouldn't call it an upgrade, I still like the xmini II, The one you see in the video is X-mini II, the capsule is the X-mini max II. The X-mini 1st version wasn't that great.

Hello people...
Just thought I'd share.
I bought a pair of Sandstrom bluetooth headphones today from PC World. They were only £30, so I figured that wasn't much of a punt.
I already have a good pair of wired headphones, but constantly opening the flap on the phone annoys me - and is an avenue for dust to enter the chassis.
Anyway... I wasn't expecting much, but I have to say I'm impressed! - The sound quality isn't quite as good as my wired set, but I'm more than happy with the sound for listening to music while out and about (which is when I'm more concerned having the flap open in my pocket).
They also have a built in mic, so you can take calls. And there are music controls.
Have to say - £30 well spent.

My recommend is Sony SBH20 or Sony MW600S. Currently I'm using MW1 and happy with it. But, in your case, I prefer MW600s, it has display so you'll easily find the song you wanna hear.
MW600s comes with 170 mah battery, bluetooth core ver 2.1
SBH20 comes with 110 mah battery, bluetooth core v3.0
Maybe SBH20 provide a better battery management than MW600s,

Hey guys,
Intro: Since our phone is water-resistant and pulling these claps to plug the headphones in 10 times per day is annoying, I am finally ready to consider a bluetooth solution with a mic (which I still do not really trust, but let's give it a shot!). I would like thus to revive this thread, by sharing my thoughts on the subject.
I would strongly advice to check these threads first :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2273429&highlight=bluetooth
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2229347&highlight=bluetooth - Would really love Tom Fagerland to come back and give us an update
My expectations: First, I would like to explain what do I need. In this way, we are not going to argue about a detail when we actually look for different things. You can thus point-out how different your needs are and therefore would like a different headset.
quality: I need a decent one, no more. While on the go, I mostly listen audio books through Ambling Book Player. The music is for home on normal speakers.That's been said, NO MUTANTS CUTS ALLOWED.
in-ear: those are the smallest ones and I really need to be able to put the headphones in a small pocket.
headset battery: I live and sleep with my headphones, I thus need something around 8h of autonomy, (This is why I have not considered bluetooth before, remember the 3h of autonomy max?)
phone battery drain: the use of of Bluetooth headset should not make our XZ deplete in an hour. I'm not a specialist but isn't it strongly linked with BT technology? The newer the better? So for us, BT 3.0 is better than 2.0?
full compatibility with XZ : I would like it to work well with our particular phone. Obviously. I do not plan to change phone for couple of years, so no matter the work with other devices. More, I would hardly bear some functions of the headset which are not working with XZ. Would feel like a waste.
Price: I am not ready to give more than 100 bucks.
Display : Not required. Good if there is one, but not critical
Radio : No need
Sd-card : No need
In addition : general comfort and build quality
Eliminated ones :
LG Tone hbs-700 : does not seem confortable enough, does not fit in a pocket
Samsung BHS3000 : 6 hours autonomy, clip easy to break
Jaybird Bluebuds X: 169$!!! Does it have a mic anyway?
Novero Rockway: 5.5 hours autonomy
....
Main candidates:
Sony SBH20 : seems good overall, but has only 6 hours of autonomy. Confirm?
Sony MW600 and MW600s: First, what is the difference between those two? It seems that they were firstly made for phones likes SE k800i (before android) and not all the functions work properly on android phones. True story?
Sony SBH50 : when to expect the release? What would be the price you think? Something special in comparison with MW1?
Sony MW1: seems a very good one in theory, but has apparently to many possible bugs and dysfunctions. I would give it a try, but I want to be able to give it back if too many bugs happen to occur. I am currently in Belgium and can't find any place to buy it here, even online on sony website!!! If bought abroad on ebay for example I fear that giving it back will be impossible/too complicated
What have I forgot?
I have noticed something interesting. On the sony website, both the SBH20 and SBH50 are advertised in this way : "Go great with : Xperia Z", while XZ is not among perfect partners of MW1. I understand that marketing can sometimes be a strange thing, but isn't there a REAL reason for that?
Proof :

What do you thing? Any Advice?
I just got a Nokia bh-221 yesterday, I just thought the same, it will be annoying to have to open the flaps every time.
The reason I went to Nokia was because I'm happy with the play 360 speakers.
This headset has a screen, but it just displays the phone number when someone is calling (or the person's name if it is in your contacts) and the battery status.
The quality is good, it has 7h of battery life (haven't been able to test it yet), it comes with a nice decent headphones but you can use every headphone you want.
It also has NFC so you can connect faster, but after the first connection, just make sure the BT on your phone is on before you turn the headset on.
The volume is a bit low, but I think it's a problem with the Z, need to test with the sound addons after rooting.
I noticed a delay in audio when playing video, I will test it tomorrow with a HTC 8X, to see if I get the same latency.

Thanks for sharing, waiting for the test results.
Just to say, these kind of problems (delays, limited screen functions...) are the ones making me reluctant towards buying other than Sony's headphones. Even though it can be a super set on its own, I'm almost sure to find some partial compatibility or even dysfunctions.

The screen functions is not a problem, is just a Nokia feature, not showing the music name...
The lags, i just tested on my 8X and I see no lag at all... I had the same problems with another philips BT headset, I think it may be an Android problem... What other OS does is just delay the video also, so both audio and video will stay in sync.
I searched for solutions, and found a lot of people with this problem, but no solution till now.

No, there are different people with different phones and headset with the same problem... I think the only (android) device i had where BT audio has synced with the video was the Galaxy Nexus.
Choose Headset.
If you want the best available sound quality and a good MIC and the most reliable accessories then stay between MW600 and MW1. i had both of them.
for you both are GREAT! but my MW600 did a lot of restarts all the time! i couldn't update it so i had to get used to it. i don't know about the latest one but before 5 years that's was my experience. my opinion...go get the MW1 with closed eyes :silly:

Anyway,
I can't find any retailer selling this in Belgium. Will have to buy it on amazon. Does someone know if it is easy to return the item? I want to try it first. If it's ok I keep it, if not (as for sooooo many users after some research) I want to be able to get my money back.

Hello, man! Did you get your MW1? How is it doing nowadays? I am about to buy two units for my brother and me, and would not want a fiasco, because I have read many comments that the device doesn't work fine with firmware 1.0A.1.6 or so.
Please, tell me, which is the firmware version which is working fine with? Is it 0.1.D.0.6 the device is working perfectly? Do you recommend this headset?
For me this is the most complete and feature packed Bluetooth headset today, I am about to buy it.
Are all its features working in Android 5.1.1?
Please help me! Thank you!

There is always a convertor jack to use with old phones, we should welcome the new technology instead sticking with the old. It will take time to adapt though

Hopefully the adaptor will come with the phone and not be some $50 accessory lol.
Hopefully they give a decent wireless headset with the phone.

You have bluetooth with your QC35, so no problem The sound remains awesome with Bose bluetooth... It's perfect on my QC30 anyway
And I don't really care if they remove the jack on the S8, i'm tired of Touchwiz (or Samsung Experience or whatever)
For those who don't know, no 3.5 jack means Sam doesn't need to put a decent DAC (or sound card as a more familiar term) into the phone. What remained is only a poor DAC that is enough to drive internal speaker. There is nothing called forward movement. It's purely cost cutting. If phone makers need to push forward wireless tech for headphones, first they have to make the transmission better with higher bit rates and no more stuttering. This way, users decide themselves if moving forward worth it or not.
Also, if headphones manufacturers decided to make type c headphone instead of 3.5, it means that each headphones must come with their own DAC instead of having just one on the phone itself. This way you cannot,ever than before, expect cheap but good headphones due to DAC cost.
Since Apple decision to ditch out headphone jack. I think it's the stupidest idea ever. The bottom line of producing sound into your ears is always in analog. No one cannot make hearable sound in digital format. I don't get it why do so many people agree with such an illusional digital shift paradigm.

You're right, but I'm not a fan of bluetooth, I always use jack because in bluetooth you have:
1. Less autonomy
2. It f * ck you brain well.
3. You can steal your helmet much easier.
It makes me laugh when I think of the guy with an iPhone 7 (DAS 1.38kg / W) with its headphones bluetooth. He nicely bites his brain ?

Maybe it's Stockholm syndrome.... But the included headphones sound.... AMAZING!!! my initial impression is that usb-C provides far superior sound... I can't wait for someone to do a actual comparison... Also I can't tell if it's true or not but Sam mobile claims that because they're usb-C and have a power source that Samsung secretly included active noise cancelling . Thoughts?
The headphone do sound great to be honest, also I'm surprise when I plugged them in there was a firmware update.

I didn't even try the included earbuds(usually never do). I have 3rd party 3.5 mm Hi-Res dongle which is pretty good.
If it takes firmware updates, then it reminds me of Essential phone's 3.5 mm dongle which also would update its firmware.

You solid check them out... They obviously do t compete with my over the ears... But they have to be the best sounding included earbuds I've ever used by a big margin
I haven't even unboxed my headphones yet, I'm still using the AKG's from my Note 9 with a dongle since I like the flexibility to use them with my notebook at work.
I wonder if they make a USB-c to audio dongle to make it compatible.
Sent from my SM-N975U using Tapatalk
I find the included headphones lacking in base and volume I'm no audiophile but the htc dongle I blight and my jvc xx earphones are way louder with more bass shame as I was hoping for the akg ones to be better this time
I like the old headphones better.
I too feel that the bass is better then the USB c version. I think they dropped the quality a tiny bit.
I don't know maybe I am OCD but I feel that old note 9 headphones are better then the new one.
I am not that bothered about it anyways. I wanna try the ear buds and just hope they are much better then the wired headphones when looking at the price.
Ps. I am not saying the new USB c headphones are bad in anyways just saying the old ones sound better in my opinion.

Samsung should be selling one for $15 and there are other options on Amazon
I'm in Thailand can anyone recommend a good one from ebay as Amazon charge a fortune to deliver here thanks
So as we all know Samsung don't include a USB-C to 3.5mm Jack adapter in the box ??*
So I tried to use the one that came with my Huawei Mate 20 Pro and get an error saying this device isn't compatible ?
Anyone brought an adapter yet that works?
I use the Hidizs sonata one and it works perfectly.

Works great with my Bose QuietComfort 20 Acoustic Noise Cancelling Headphones
Same problem here its because of the missing DAC chip as far as i was able to dig deep in to it.
I purchased a shotgun usb-c microphone and when i connect to it its just recording crayz noise.
I tested on my girlfriend oppo find x2 pro and its working fine.
Anyone knows some external microphone what is working with the ultra?
Posted this in a different thread but might be relevant here.
^^^ I agree completely. I guess free is free but if anyone has decent to high quality earphones or headphones please do me a favor and buy a cheap $15 and under high quality USB C to 3.5mm Headphone Adapter DAC. It is worth it. I just bought and tried these per the knowledgeable audiophiles at head-fi and other Note 20 ultra owners here and they're the best $13 I've ever spent. The overall sound quality of my Note 20 Ultra with my Audio-Technica ATH-CKR90iS sound amazing. For a second I wish I still had my pre-trade Note 9 and its internal DAC to directly compare but even from memory it's not even close. It reminds me to a lesser degree the SQ of my old LG V20 but these earphones weren't around back then.
I'll compare them to the Samsung freebies when they arrive but I'll be shocked if they'll be able to keep up let alone match or exceed them. I'll more than likely end up selling them and recoup the cost of the DAC essentially making them free..
Edit: Forgot the link. Look at the 2nd review for a technical breakdown of the internal components and sound quality to get a better idea of how unbelievably good these are..

So as we all know Samsung don't include a USB-C to 3.5mm Jack adapter in the box ??*
So I tried to use the one that came with my Huawei Mate 20 Pro and get an error saying this device isn't compatible ?

Yeah that's what I use, lol highly doubt it has a Burr Brown high res DAC in it though.
It's pretty wimpy too as far as it's puny thin cable that lacks good strain reliefs.
Samsung keeps falling short on the HQ audio side... this is getting to be a nasty habit. Lots of storage for HQ audio files but crappy throughput... brilliant
If you're going into a good reciever/amp with wav files (HDCD) or higher the best plan be to keep the signal in the digital realm, not use a crappy dongle DAC and use the amp's DACs instead.
of course audiophiles will want more but for everyday use the samsung dongle works just fine.

You need a adapter that specifically supports note 20.
U GREEN sells a couple of variation of such dongle. Find one that says support note 20 and you are good to go
