I've had the official HTC Bluetooth Headset for about a week now
So far it's been really good, i've been using it mostly for listening to music (even though it's a mono headset) & as a headset for Skype on my Macbook Pro.
The Battery lasts about 4 hours. Pairing and connecting to my DHD & Macbook Pro was really easy and it seems to stay connected until the battery is fully flat.
Has anyone else bought one ? and what do you think of it ?
I just got my OPO. It currently has the latest build on it, CM12S. I have a 2013 Hyundai Gen coupe. The Bluetooth on the phone will pair fine with my portable speakers and headset. When I go to pair it in the car, my car nor the phone find each other. I have tried several times but it will not pair nor find my car. Are their any known issues with Hyundai cars and Bluetooth on the OPO? Because if it doesn't work then I will be returning my OPO. I use Bluetooth in the car quite a bit and need it....
Tried again this morning, nothing. It doesn't even see the One plus one. Yet I can pair any other Bluetooth device with it no problem....
If I stream music (Pandora, digitally imported) from my phone via Bluetooth audio to my car, and I also have my Gear S2 paired to my phone simultaneously, I can clearly hear distortion in the audio being received by my car, as if the bitrate is being forced lower. The distortion disappears as soon as my Gear S2 is disconnected.
Is having a Bluetooth audio device and a smart watch paired together a limitation of Bluetooth bandwidth? Any remedy or thoughts?
Note 5, 2013 Honda Accord.
I don't have a Gear S2, but I do use a Sony Smartwatch 3 while I'm streaming music from the Note 5 in my 09 Accord. I don't hear any loss in quality with that particular setup, nor did I with the LG G Watch.

I also have Note 5, and plan to buy Gear S2 soon!
So I wonder if the distortion always happens to you with Pandora, digitally imported?
How about just music app or other streaming services?
And which S/W are you using for Note 5?
I have Plantronics Backbeat Go 2. When I use the text reading option on Moon+ reader with the Samsung Gear S2 classic connected, the audio keeps popping and is choppy. If I disconnect the watch from Bluetooth, audio is fine. Tried FBreader and problem also evident. Using wired earphones does not have a problem. Did not have this problem with my Pebble Steel.
Samsung Note 4 using Wanamlite v3.2
Interesting I use a Sony BT headset and must admit it doesn't sound as good lately, coincidentally around the time I got my S2 - will test a bit
i have a s2 3g from Korea , when i stream music straight from watch A2DP bluetooth audio, sounds is choppy and cuts off , noticed its a range issue as if i put bluetooth headphones right next to gear s2 does not cut out, anybody have this issue?
Nope, gear s2 paired to phone and streaming Pandora. No issues on my Chevy Impala..
Can confirm there is an impact, if I stream BT audio in my car with the S2 attached and then detach, you get a compressed type of effect.

Mine too...
I NEED this to be fixed!!!
Same problem here with the connection to my Mercedes Benz Vito Audio 20 hands free device. If my Galaxy s6 is connected to the gear s2 and to the Mercedes hands free I can answer the call, after a few seconds a can't hear the caller, but the caller still can hear me. If I disconnect my gear s2 classic during the call it immediately works fine. That's very annoying because every time I sit into my car I have to disconnect the gear s2 from the phone.

I have the exact problem with my Benz B160. Took me a while to figure out that it was my Gear S2 causing the problem of me not being able to hear the caller after a few seconds. Very frustrating ...
My works just fine, I do have the "phone audio" uncheck under my phone Bluetooth settings for the S2. HTC m9 on 14 Acura ILX. It answers calls on the car perfect.
Having the same issue with gear s2 and Verizon samsung galaxy s7 edge. Replicated with car and other bluetooth devices. As mentioned here, unpair gear s2 from bluetooth and music issues go away.

Any updates?
I long ago returned my Gear S2, but was this issue ever resolved for anyone? I understand there was a software update sometime in February - did that address any BT audio distortion issues? Thinking about trying the watch out again.
I just got a (new to me) Gear S2 and am experiencing these issues. When my phone (Galaxy S7 Edge) is connected to my watch and I get into my car, my car audio will pair, but when using hands free calling, the audio is extremely distorted and unusable. I never had this problem with my Pebble Time Steel.
Is there any sort of fix for this? It is INCREDIBLY annoying to have to disconnect my watch every time I get in the car, because I drive a lot. I am considering selling the watch if this is not remedied.
Same problem here with Gear S3 and Samsung S7 Edge.
Car model is a 2016 BMW F10.
Music sound is noticeably distorted when i stream to the car with the watch paired at the same time.
Android version: 6.0.1
time ago i read something about this issue when i had a s6 flat, and i confirm it is present also on a s7 edge, if i have my s2 connected to my s7 edge and my phone connected to my alpine i can hear the quality difference.
I suppose that the problem is related to the APTX protocol used to stream music, when the bluetooth channel is used only for music streaming you can use the APTX protocol and the sounds is good, when you connect a device using the bluetooth constantly the bandwith to use also the APTX protocol is not enough and the audio quality is scaled down.
This appen also on my wife's s6 flat paired with samsung charm... i think this is a big fail because in 2017 i have to disconnect my watch to listen my music

Here the discussion of this issue
Android 7.0 did not resolve this issue.
Same problem for me with my gear S3 and my Galaxy S8. Tried all streaming services.
Audio Bluetooth stream is very bad when the watch is connected.
This is not a problem with iPhone and Apple watch.
Same issue with a gear s2 watch paired with galaxy s7 phone and boes OE soundlink headset.
I've sent my watch to samsung twice for repair with the issue gettimg worse after the 2nd repair... I'm now waiting for their exchange/refund department.
So after a bit of experimenting, this is what i have going on. I have my gear s2 and a nexus 6p and a 2011 Toyota 4Runner with the navigation. My nexus can not gain access to my car via Bluetooth, either phone or car audio as long as the gear s2 has it's Bluetooth on. When i turn the Bluetooth off on my gear s2, i can then access the phone via car Bluetooth. Afterwards, i can turn the Bluetooth back on on the gear s2 and everything is fine.
Incidentally, i can pair and use the gear with my car Bluetooth (but can't get access to my contacts on the gear s2). With both available to my car phone, only the gear s2 will automatically pair with the car. I can't switch to my nexus from the gear. But if the gear is off, my phone then pairs automatically with my car.
Now i know the nexus 6p has some documented issues with Bluetooth. Both portable devices use the A2DP profile. But has anybody had issues similar to this with their car and phone? (Incidentally, I didn't have this issue with my gear s2 and my galaxy s5.)

And this is why we don't use Samsung smartwatch with non Samsung phones. Even though they will tell you it will work with any phone, it will only work "properly" with a galaxy phone. I gave up trying to get the gear s2 to work properly with my 6p. Having to soft reset the watch every time I went out of range of my phone drove me insane. Sold it & bought a Sony smartwatch 3. Haven't had any problems since. As for the nexus Bluetooth issues, I haven't had any.
I'd guess its the S2's fault as well. I have a moto360 attached to my nexus 6p and have never had any form of bluetooth issue. I usually have my moto360 and a pair of bluetooth headphones or a bluetooth speaker attached and its fine.
Hey everyone,
Does anyone else have the issue where voice/speech via a BT headset isn't recognized when Google Assistant is prompted unless the phone is unlocked and manually launched?? I can prompt it with my Bragi Dash Pros, or squeeze and talk via Bragi Dash Pros, but it acts like I said nothing.
Yes and it also doesn't work when connected to my car via Bluetooth. I googled it and it appears there are many issues with Bluetooth on the Pixel 2s.

No, they work for me good so far. I've been using it with my good stereo BT headset (Plantronics BackBeat Pro, older version) and just tried two cheaper just single ear BT headsets. I also tried it out the other day with the speaker phone BT that is in my truck. I don't have a built in BT device in the truck.
They all appear to work okay.
