[Completed] Sony MW1 or the SBH52. Which one to buy? - XDA Assist

Hi everyone
This is my very first post to XDA.
Hope my query comes through correctly and is of help to others as well.
Well, for the last couple of months I have been trying to figure out which bluetooth headset from Sony (SBH52 AND MW1) is better over the other in terms of-
1)Sound ie, after reading a lot I have known that the MW1 packs a Wolfson Dac but just could not figure out if it's the same or better on the SBH52?
2)Are the live Sound ear buds MH1A on the MW1 any better than the Mh755 in terms of the audio quality?
Is it possible that the Mh755 have been improved over the years?
This is because the whole SBH52 family of headsets have them instead of the live Sound ear buds.
3)And lastly the SBH52 being newer in comparison to the MW1 have any technical advantage in terms of the usability over the MW1.
And has anyone tried to couple the live Sound ear buds with the SBH52 and experienced the overall improvement or degradation in the sound?
Because I have the live Sound ear buds and would like to buy the SBH52 and use it with them.
I know a lot to ask but it'll really be a great help if you can help.
Thanks

Help! looking for decent stereo headset for music playback on Diamond

hi, before anybody says use the search on the forums, id like to say i have and still cant find anybody recommending stereo headset for the touch diamond, i have read about the jabra headset as well the sony and the nokias but cannot make mind up, please can someone share some of your experiences with your touch diamond.
p.s i have ordered from expansys the htc bh s100 only to find out that they are the french version with limitations on volume and have been in the expansys forum reading complaints on the unit so thats going to get canceled,so any help is appriciated,
thank you
Yus
The Best headset I have found is a Motorola headset the "MOTOROKR™ S9" you can see the manufacturers website here --> http://direct.motorola.com/hellomoto/S9/
Great battery life, comfortable, good sound quality when streaming audio as well as when using as a hands-free headset (provided the surrounding environment is not too loud).
Not exactly cheap...but it's a rugged little unit and quite resistant to environmental hazards..like washing machines
I also use the s9 and i love it. Highly recommend
thanks for replying people, the s9 doesnt suit me, but ive narrowed it down to the sony ericsson 220 are they any good?
yes actually i had this with the Sony Ericsson w960i. There a really good headset i liked that you could plug any headphones into it but found the wires redundant.
I use the plantronics 855 (I think thats the number), got no complaints at all, good sound qulity, great battery life and pretty damm comfortable.

Sony DRBT50 and HTC Touch Diamond

After quite a bit of research into which headsets were the most comfortable, had the best sound quality and decent autonomy I chose the Sony DRBT50, found a seller on Ebay and ordered them...
Now, to make a long story a little shorter let's just say that they seem to have gotten lost somewhere between here and Germany and I'm going to be given a refund (thank [insert your divinity here] I took the insurance) and the seller has told me that if he was in my shoes, he wouldn't buy a Bluetooth headset as they don't offer anywhere near the same sound quality as a decent wired pair...
He admitted to only having tried them with Bluetooth dongles and not devices with built-in Bluetooth like the Diamond so (here comes my question) has anyone here had any experience with these headphones in particular or any information about Bluetooth headsets in general to share with me? If you don't think that Bluetooth can provide good sound dynamics which are the best wired headphones in a similar price range (around 150)?
Thanks

I am a bluetooth stereo junkie and I have bought a lot of sony erricson bluetooth stereo.I liked DRBT50 on pics, but when I used them I felt they are really very heavy and I dint like them.Out of lot of stereos I bought, I think the best one I though is DRBT22 , which is lightweight and absolutely nice stereo.I have also used DS980, but for some reason , I just have them packed.Even those stereo sound is also good, but the battery life is only 4/5 hrs, so you have to recharge them regularly.But DRBT22 bass and trebles are really good and I like them , and also the battery life is 10 hrs which is very good. I suggest you for DS980 or DRBT22 depending on what you like.Similar to BT22, there is also DRBT21, which looks good , as you can wear from behind the neck, but I havent tried those.

I never got round to answering this...
After over a month I actually ended up receiving the headset.
The battery life is amazing and the reception's pretty good too. I can easily go about ten fifteen meters away from my phone without the signal starting to break up. Basses are good but the mids are a little lacking. The cups have a lot of padding so they're quite comfortable but not perfect as they are much smaller than I'd imagined (no I don't have big ears).
Overall, it's a decent headset that I can happily wear when taking the dog for a walk but I wouldn't recommend them to an audiophile.
If anyone wants any more details about the headset feel free to ask.

[Q] decent headphone with mic for desire hd

Hey guys, am bit confused last couple of days while deciding for a decent headphone. By decent, I mean in ear headphone with significant noise cancellation (dont want the disturb the person sitting next to me in train with my music play) and good quality mic for voice calls. I'm not interested in having remote in headphone for changing tracks/volume.
My budget is between 40-70 quid (£). Most of the earphones with mic advertised are for for iPhone and browsing through forums some have and haven't worked on HTC phones (especially mic).
1. Klipsch Image s4i - close to my budget, got some great reviews. but not officially supported for non-iphones
2. V-moda vibe duo - Love the chrome and vibrant red look. around 50 quid. mixed reviews. few says its great and some sites mention abt the build quality. again, if anyone using it, could you share your experience
3.bose mobile in-ear..arnd £89 but its more than 2 years old and they ahve an "improved" new version that costs around £120. way too expensive
any suggestion on good ones would be helpful.
I went for the Sennheiser Mm50ip: Iphone: Earphones.....got them from HMV for about £50. They are designed for the iphone but work on the desire and desire HD.
The mic works great, the sound is great and the answer and end button works. There are no music or volume controls but i have not found either to be a problem.
Oh and the Sennheiser's are great for music (i've bought a few different types but keep going back to them.)
Hope this helps!

Bad Earphones

Hi guys,
I don't know about you, but I'm using often the earphones (especially when I'm cycling, and I do that daily, for about 20-30km), and I got to say that I'm not satisfied about this one's from S6. I had previously htc one m8 dual sim which was pretty good (not like bang&olufsen or bose though).
So, do you have any mods installed to hear a bit better?
What's frustrating for me is if I want to hear nice and clear and a bit louder, I have to press with my hands on the earphones (continuously).
Any ideas apart buying dedicated earphones (like one from above)? Maybe you know any good wireless earphones in ear? (max. budget would be 100£).
L.E. I finally decided to give it a go to Sony SBH-80. I would expect them to arrive tomorrow (and I will leave you a feedback here, if you're interested).
Try Sennheiser Momentum In Ear for Android.

Smartphone (V30) into dedicated music player

Hello dear people!
I am actually looking for how to use a smartphone (LG V30 in my case) as a music player only.
So I would want to have installed the 'best' sounding audiophile app and have everything else, everything not audio related removed from the phone.
Would you be able to point in the right direction? Or even have a step by step guide..?
I am 100% new to this matter, so I already got totally lost on this site when I searched before. I have no idea what everything means (every sentance has 3 or 4 words I dont understand..), so even when I would able to find the right thread, I don't understand at all what people are talking about.
I am an audiophile and I chose the LG V30 because it has 4 dac chips (digital to analog converter) and should have the capability to sound very, very good.
I would appreciate your or anybody else's help in this greatly.
Sound quality with music is my passion!
Sincerely looking forward to all clear and directional responses!
Gaston
In any case ... the best sounding audio player (having tested a lot of them - I also am an audiophile) is AIMP . I use it for my laptop and also for my smartphone. The Stereo separation on the V30 is not that great (tested in 2018) but maybe they improved that with software updates. I am looking to buy yet another pair of headphones - having bought JBL and JVC and Philips and Sennheiser + many more in the past. I have my eyes on Sony XB50AP (not taking any chances). May I ask what are you using? Thanks.
