Hello,
I got this nice Bluetooth Speaker from <MODERATOR EDITED - SPAM LINK REMOVED> for an honest and unbiased review. I was excited to try this item since I like rugged type of gear
<MODERATOR EDITED - SPAM LINK REMOVED>
From the looks of it, these Speakers look like some sort of military type of equipment.
The whole device feels pretty heavy and solid which is a good sign. The case is rugged and uses iron frames, metal speaker meshes and is stabilized by a strong TPU rubber. The case structure is very tough and also water resistant which makes it great for outdoors usage while eg. having a nice BBQ.
I´m confident that this device might survive some severe drops but I won´t perform any torture tests like these
The build quality is excellent, the packaging itself also makes you feel that you´ve obtained a high grade item and not something cheap.
This item might survive one drop out of a plane without a parachute because of how good it´s protected inside the box
Accessories:
1x USB Cord (USB Type A - Micro-USB-B)
1x Audio Cable (3,5mm - 3,5mm Stereo coaxial)
1x User Manual
1x Nylon Bag
1x Nylon Rope
In order to charge this device you need a additional USB charger which is not included. Just use a USB charger which can deliver about 5W (5V @ 1A) and you´re good to go. I guess that most guys here have spare chargers they can use

Tests:
This device is very intuitive to use and the user manual is easy to read too.
I charged this device with my DIY power supply and measured a current of exactly 1A. If you charge the device and also play some music, the current might rise up to about 1.1A.
What I like about these speakers is the fact that you can also use them with a wired connection through a standard 3.5mm Stereo cable.
You can simply connect them with any headphone jack of every device. These Speakers can also be great companions for your Notebook and replace the tiny built in Speakers
The Bluetooth Connection is stable, even if you move away a few meters from the speakers with your phones. I´ve tried a connection with my Nexus 5 (2013) and Nexus 6P and didn´t have any problems.
You can use your phone or these Speakers in order to swipe through music tracks or answer calls.
What´s also nice to have is the possibility to share the integrated 5200mAh Battery Cells which feed the Bluetooth Speaker in order to charge your mobile devices if you´re out of juice. This could come in handy in emergency situations if you don´t have any extra Power Bank with you.
You would be able to charge devices at a current of max. 2A which sounds great.
Assuming that the charging circuit used in this device works at a efficiency level of around 88%, you might expect a usable capacity of about 3386mAh which could be used to charge your devices
You have to keep in mind that this is just a close approximation and only works out if you use all the juice for charging only.
Did I forget anything? The Nylon Bag and the Nylon Rope included with these Speakers also help you to transport this device without scuffing the nice case
Sound Quality:
Now comes the tough question, does this item also sound great? These Speakers are quite small in comparison to some active PC Speakers but they deliver quite a unexpected punch.
To be honest, you have to compare these Speakers with similar gear in order to rate their performance. Don´t compare them with your 1000W Hifi Stereo System which would win by far but also costs a lot more and cannot be carried around in your backpack
The lows are very strong, the mids are well balanced and the highs are soft. Even if you crank up the max volume, you won´t hear any distortions. These Speakers are very loud which is really impressive.
The tonal quality isn´t dull and not very bright sounding either. It reminds me somehow of older Hifi equipment from the 80´s which also sounds a bit stronger in the lows frequency range and offers softer mids and highs. I think that the results are very well balanced.
I´ve tried these Speakers with various types of music and it´s really a pleasure to listen to them. This is nice since I intend to use them outdoors and can hardly await the summer to come
When it comes to preferences, all people are different. I can´t guarantee that you might also like the sound quality as well as I do, this is why I can only tell my own impressions.
In conclusion, <MODERATOR EDITED - SPAM LINK REMOVED> has designed some serious Bluetooth Speakers which deliver some unexpected performance and tonal punch as well.
I hope that I could help some of you to have a closer look at these Bluetooth Speakers if you´re looking for some rugged companions for your phones as well

Hello People =)
I don´t like the Original Headphones for my lovely Diamond... so now I´m searchin for In - Ear Headphones. Much better sound and much more comfotable, I think.
So, now I´m searching for them
Any Ideas? Expirience?
Greetings to all of you =)
trying for quite some time. Dont see any in the stores. But adapters are there to give a 3.5mm interface. you can find them in amazon or wmstore or just google.
downside is you cant use the FM (atleast in my case)
well u can head over to head-fi.org and read up from all the headphone people there.
Adapters are a quite good idea...
I´ve seen some Bluetooth adapters to. But they are from Sony Erricsson. Ithink i will take a look for them
Sony ones are awesome for me.
First had MDL EX91, then EX71, then moved onto panasonic ones and now back to Sony (one of the newer cheaper models).
All in-ear earphones from Sony seem to sound the same. It's just the design that varies.
If your're into bass, listening to alot of electronic music and stuffs.. go for it.
get an adapter and check out the Sennheiser ones (MX500 etc), superb sound and the noise reduction is actually amazing.

Google the MM200s (soon to be released) - stereo 'goodness' plus handsfree!!

FM-radio won't work with adapter??
If you use an adapter FM works as usual.
Perhaps other poster meant for A2DP headphones.
Using a proper headphone with adapter makes a lot difference compared to the bundled headphones.

I din't like the HTC Ear Phones, So I made one for myself. and disabled the call button press that was built in to it , and soldered a small pcb with filter which I got from an old walkman (the small box thing) and added a small magnetic filter in it, and now It works flawlessly and sounds richer using a full headset.
you'll need the 3.5mm adaptor thingy...
but in terms of the actualy headphones themselves, it depends on what type of "sound" you're looking for. if you want bass rich ones then look no further than the sony's.
but if you want a clean, flat and authentic reproduction of sound then look no further than the Ultimate Ears super-fi. i use them as a musician and they are frickin awesome
HTC Phones:
- bad sound quality
- not confortable
- long...long...long cable, 1m60!
-it'not really practical to put them in your pocket and spend 30 sec playing with the knots
So here's what I've done with my HTC Phones:
For instance I solved the last two problems.
-open the mic plastic small case the one where is writted HTC
- cut 2 wires: the one that came from the plug, and the one from the longest head phone.
-cut the yellow glue wits a cutter
- take the small circuit out
- with a small solderind iron (20W is more than enough) unsold the cables you have just cutted
- prepare the cables to be soldered
- attention: these cables have a resine so you have to put them in acid (acetone is not enough) or withe a small cutter try to scrath gentli the wires.
- sold the wires back to the small electronic circuit, and mount the mic.
That's it, I have a smaller cable that is realy easy to use and the number of knots when I put it in the pocket is reduced by 4
The best in-ear headphpnes are made by:
Shure
Ultimate Ears
Etymotic Research
Some less expensive but still rather good models are made by:
Jays
Denon
Sennheiser
I would *not* recommend Sony or any other common consumer brand. The threshold of usability starts around $50, and gets a lot better through $100-$150. The upper end units are $200-$500. I have a pair of Denons at about $90 that have good audio, are rugged, and comfortable. However, the quality difference using some of the more expensive Shure's is quite noticable. NOTE! For this style, fit is EVERYTHING. No fit, no bass. Experiment with different earseals.
Have a look at the Sleek Audio adjustable SA6, with the Kleer wireless unit coming up.
I'm with DrewVS on this. I have some Shure e2c's
I use them for both my Ipod and Diamond via the HTC > 3.5mm connector which I picked up offline for about £3 / $5.
The Shure's, with the various isolating earpieces that you can fit to your ear canal perfectly are quite possibly the best around in terms of voice reproduction. The Bass maybe a bit light, but seeing that I'm not a bass head, and like (female) vocals, the e2c's fit the bill perfectly and make the sound from the Diamond using Pocket Player better than my Ipod...
A little expensive... but you pay for what you get. Anything cheaper than these... or the wrong side of some decent Sony's and you're cutting back on the sound quality significantly...
IMO of course...

generally ipod sounds bad... look good tho.
i really recommend e2c, they mayb dont fit all ears but if they fit they will stay there not come out cuz a little accidently pull and isolates u from the background noise extremly good. My e2c just broke after 3 years of use... the cable has the tendency of dry out and crack open.
but still they are very good.
I suggest the CX500 - Try this chap:http://shop.ebay.co.uk/merchant/projector_outlet
I have bought off him. Then use the HTC controller thing: http://www.htcaccessorystore.com/uk/p_htc_item.aspx?i=166221
These work very well together.
I hope this helps....
Will
Just go to www.dv247.com and check out their range, an idea of quality would be the price bracket:
£1-£30 - Crap
£30-£100 - Reasonable
£100+ - Very Good
If money is not an issue then I would go for the Shure's they are about £160, can't quite remember their model number.
My personal opinion, however, would be to get a proper set of cans, they always produce a better sound and can be made less intrusive with the design of Bose nosie reducing.
If you want real clarity then DT770's all the way! More or less studio standards!

Just to add WESTONE that used to make the best earphone (editors choice on earphonesolutions.com)
I had sony's earphones then etymotics er6-i then shure e2c, e4c then Westone UM2
for less than 50 dollars go for sony cause there is a gap in the quality compared to orginal htc's
for about 100 dollars go for Shure e2c. It's in my opinion the best you can get for that price
for 300 dollars don't hesitate and go for Westone UM2. I'm in love with it since the first day i put it in my ear......sound is outstanding....huge bass....deep bass......crystal treble........they are 119 dB so you can push the volume far and don't need to put the volume to high on the phone
Hope i helped you
after buying some ceap nuvelli bluetooth headphones only to find out not only did it not work at all (would not power on at all) but they also barely even fit on my head and were not comfortable i returned them and bought the Sony DR-BT100CX's not only because of their price but because i have always loved the silicone padded ear bud style headphones for listening to music, they are of course not good if you need to hear outside sounds because they really do act as ear plugs but this should be known already if your looking into this type of BT headset.

so anyways. i will give these a 4.5 out of 5 rating with possibility for a 5 out of 5
as a nexus one user running CM 6.1 RC1 they work 100% flawlessly with my phone. even the play/pause and track forward/back buttons are fully functional and sound quality is just as good as a decent set of the same style wired ear buds. one of my favorite things about this style of headphone is the small size and incredible bass response and these do not disappoint in this area either.
i'm giving them a 4.5 pending a 5.0 rating based on the short battery life i experienced. this was no doubt due to the fact i did not have enough time to fully charge them up today before i left but at out of the box + 1 hr roughly of charge time the lasted about 2-1/2 hours of constant music use before they died. sony claims 8 hours of use time, not sure if thats realistic they read half battery when i took em off the charger today but that could be inaccurate so who knows. ill post back with my results on further use later.
as for range of use. i was able to get as far as 12' from my nexus and still had perfect sound but at that distance putting my hand over the "pod" unit (the main module with controls) would cause a drop out but they reconnected extremely quickly. with normal use i do not see range being an issue with these they have good range overall.
Battery life's fine, I haven't charged mine for ages and it still goes strong.
I also used to have a cheap BT headset but it sucked so much, ended up grabbing a pair of these instead. The fact that it needs somewhere to clip to is a bit annoying, but hey, quality. Sometimes it sounds too bassy, though.
yeah they are strong on the bass at times but i like my music that way most of the time. great to hear on the battery life, they are fully charged now so i will be using them today to see how they do. the dongle doesn't bother me its actually kind of nice because it makes it easier to access the controls on the unit
How do these fare pricewise to the Sony Ericsson MW600 Bt headset? I have the SE one and I have to say one of the best headsets I have used to date, and it has a FM receiver to boot! Batterylife on the MW600 is pretty decent as well, but the only flaw is the contact slider for the volume compared to this one which is a physical button.
Both looks good, but this one looks like it can take a bit more of abuse lol.

But you can't change the headphones!
Retail price is 80 but they can be had for 50 to 60 on the net
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
I chose the Z1 Compact as I like to run/bike with my phone; not so that I can use things like Strava/RunKeeper/Endomondo etc but becuase I
a. listen to music
b. take calls
c. take photos
d. like my loved ones to track me in case of emergency
e. make calls in case of emergency
etc
So the high spec, waterproofness and size really appealled to me
And I have to say.. it is proving a delight.
I have now finalised my run/bike setup and thought you guys might be interested in the set up.
Photos attached
Run:
Armband: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Sony-Xperia-Z1-Compact-Shocksock/dp/B00HUGVTIE
I have tried various armband cases over the decades (!!) but this one I have for the Z1 Compact is the best to date (and one of the cheapest)
It has a nice amount of stretch, a little key pocket and nice velcro closure that doesn't rub.
I would say though that it is not a tight fit in the armband case (it is NOT custom made for the phone).. but that is fine with me as I can easily slip in and out, it works with my normal case I have for the phone, and is still secure and not had issues on long runs (+20k)
If you want the smallest possible case for the phone then look elsewhere
The screen is responsive enough through the clear screen, but as with all the cases, the power button of the phone is in a bit of an awkward position
Bike:
Handlebar case: http://topeak.com/products/bags/smartphone_drybag_5in_bk2
Why bother with a waterproof case?
Well.. I suppose I didn't really need to, but I wanted something for the handlebars that would protect it in case of a fall a bit more, but wouldn't be too bulky. (also.. I could be on the bike in the rain for upwards of 6hrs.. not sure if the IP rating could handle that!)
The fit is actually perfect: I can just squeese in with the my normal case (Krussel FrostCover) still on. Without the case it is still a nice and snugg fit with no flapping around.
Screen responsive enough through the clear plastic front
The power button is okayish to press on the go
The downside I see with this is that the inbuilt clip on the back means that on bumps it can 'slap' a bit, so I might look at fixing that somehow (the case is good enough that I would want to do that rather than look for another solution)
also, if you wanna take phonts you need to take out of the waterproof case.
Run/Bike:
Headphones: http://www.jaybirdsport.com/bluebuds-x-bluetooth-headphones/
I understand people who say you should not use headphones while running/biking outdoors, but I do like to do it
These bluetooth headphones are the best out there.
Expensive but worth it: can use in the rain, no long cord, answer calls etc.
They have already proven the best sports headphones I have ever bought
The only downside I would say is that the stock earbuds can fall out, so I use comply foam buds (http://www.complyfoam.com/products/S-500/)
That makes the fit perfect and secure (can run for 2hrs without needing to adjust once)
No dropouts.
Hope this is helpful.
I really am in a near perfect place now with my setup.
I first started looking for the ideal set up to run/bike with, in 2002 (using the first phone that I started to run with).. I have finally found it (until the wearable tech means I use something other than a phone in a few years)

Thank you very much for your feedback :good:. Quite similar need for me: day long mountain bike and hike sessions.
I'm curious about any setup allowing charging the phone with a dynamo, but still being waterproof, or anything allowing to extend the battery life for a complete day of use as GPS track recorder and map. I have in mind a setup based on something similar to the Shimano Dynamo Generator Hubs.
Regarding the power button, I hope Tap2Wake & Wake 2 Touch, or any other similar feature, will be soon available for the Z1 Compact.

Yeah.. the phone batteries are not quite up to the extended rides or ultras.
tbh that is why I use a Garmin Edge for my long rides (i don't need to go longer than that battery allows) and not use my phone for tracking.
in the past I have used different things for keeping the juice of my phone going (additional batteries, external batter packs etc).. but I think this is one of the weaknesses of the phone for that application
[1] the magnets on the magnetic charging socket tend to be weak so on a bike you will probably need to keep on reconnecting or use some sort of tape to tape the socket in place
[2] the normal usb charging socket is in an awkward position.. so the cable would jut out to the side.. but worse.. you lose the waterproofness and more worryingly, the flap is in a dangerously vulnerable position to breakage
[3] no removable battery
If i needed to charge on the go (on the bike) then I would defintely look at utilising the magnetic socket and tape the plug n place.
that would then leave the issue of keeping the phone out of the elements (especially on extended downpours) and for that you would need a different mount to the topeak one (not broad enough to have the charger in the bag as well)
there is also the other issue of amps.. you need to make sure that the phone is being given enough amps to actually charge. not sure a dynamo would do that,.. but those battery packs would if you choose the right one
---
When you do get something sorted.. then post piccies! very interested to see what you come up with
Nice post!
I used the same Topeak case with my late SGS3, which was a very tight fit...
I have used it in different conditions over half a year and found one big nuissance with it. That clear plastic gets foggy from the inside and you have to clean that up every now and then (sealed rolled and everything). And I'm not a neat freak... also I don't have sticks for fingers, so cleaning all of it is just not pleasant...
As for the charging en route... you could still hook the dynamo output by soldering the wires (actually with some connector) to a solar battery - as complimentary powersource to the solar cell. Then charge from that, which gives a more stable output. Worst case scenario is that going downhill may fry a solar battery instead of the phone...
Maybe you have a lot of electronics on your hand, such as smart phones、tablets、smart watchs and so on. So you surely need a pair of good earphone to fit with them.
Specially if you love playing sports like running or workout with listening to music ,a pair of bluetooth headphone is wonderful for you. Now I am anxious to recommend you a new product-Axgio Sprint which is marked bluetooth sports headphone .It can be your good friend when you run or exercise ,which you can trust me completely. Next,I will share my experience using the headphone with you.

Comfort
The comfort of the headphone impressed me most. It has two memory ear tips ,that means the ear tips can adjust the shape and size by themselves according to your ear canal. And you can choose the most suitable earbuds ,because there are 7 pair Memory (S/M/L) & Silicone (XS/S/M/L) ear tips, specially designed a XS size Silicone ear tips for people having smaller ear canal than average, so you don't have to readjust them endlessly, it's the perfect workout buddy .
I climbed the mountains last saturday ,and I listened to the music with wearing the earphone long for four hours while climbing the mountains .And it did surprise me that my ears didn't feel uncomfortable after a long time wearing the headphone, compared with past experience with other earphones.
Performance
When it comes to the performance of the headphone ,I can promise you it won't let you down. One feature of this pair of headphone is its isolating stereo sound. It produces rich, detailed sound across the audible spectrum. Whether you’re listening to classic rock, soulful jazz, or the bright airy sounds of an orchestra, it's going to sound great coming from the Axgio sprint.
Suit for workout[IMG="product image"]
What is most important is that this pair of headphone is especially designed for workout or running. Think about that ,when you run or make a workout with listening to the music which can make you more energetic or exciting, a pair of bluetooth headphone just meets all your demand. The Axgio Sprint is designed with over-the-ear earphone line that can be adjusted to your ear shapes, which makes the earphone stabler, and you won't worry about it drops when you exercise.
According to my experience, the Axgio Sprint can last at least 8 hours when you listen to music, it's great considering its compact size.
Here is a news about Axgio Sprint which specially mentioned its battery life.It' s a truth that the long battery life of Axgio is indeed a marked feature.http://www.geeksnack.com/2015/09/18/bluetooth-earphones-with-great-battery-life-for-40/
I got one from http://www.tinydeal.com/axgio-px3294a-p-156223.html, The bass performance is decent among the sports headphone, although less resistant to sweat than my jaybird which cost me more than 100 dollar, it is good considering its long battery life.

I got mine on amazon,it seems cheaper on tinydeal.
Here is a review i saw on head-fi,which is much better and specific than mine.http://www.head-fi.org/products/axg...earpiece-headset-with-mic-black/reviews/14073
Hello, I'm actually looking for some kind of Airpods alternative, but all the "AirPods killers" are NOT AIRPODS. What do I mean?
Have you ever noticed how almost only Airpods are the ones that does not actually go deep inside your ear to create that vacuum seal, but they still called In-Ear type earphones? Because of this naming confusion I can't find real Airpods killers for Android.
Unfortunately I can't use almost any earphones in a marked, just like Galaxy Buds, because the "vacuum" in your ear starts getting lose and the sound goes bad, bass is lost and I have to keep fixing them like forever, especially when running.
Airpods hold fine, they sound the same no matter if I run or chill or whatever. Airpods surprised me cause they have bass without needing to seal the ear, but bass and sound overall is not as strong as I would like to.
I also tested Huawei freebuds 3, they sound better than Airpods, bass is stronger, but still.. just not quite cutting it, not enough volume.
I use Viper4Android FX, tested many different options to squeeze everythin of it, still lack of volume and bass.
Do you guys know any other earphones I should check that does not use those rubbers?
Smol illustration to get the idea lol

I believe those are just called in ear too. I know Razer has the hammerhead buds but I don't think those are any good tbh
Btw I tried the Airpods pro yesterday and ended up getting them. They do have the rubber tips but they feel so different! No pressure in my ears and the sound and noise cancelling is great! It really surprised me because the shape of my right ear usually prevents me from wearing in ears properly. The tips are oval, not round like most are

Thanx! But I watched a lot or reviews on them, usually youtubers say that they sound pretty similar as standard Airpods, but with a little richer sound, just because they seal the canals now. Can it be true?
Cause to me, the original Airpods sound OK, but nothing that fascinating idk.
I also really got tempted to try Sony WF-1000XM3, many folks say they deliver great sound and they have two types of tips, ones of them are some new rubber type, maybe those would hold great..
Anybody tested WF-1000XM3 how they hold in ears? Do they stay in same tight air seal position when you move? Thanx
In ear tampons

I did, and I had the same issue as with the Soundcore Liberty 2 pro's.
They are just too heavy and big so while walking around you get this (what's the word) booming sound in your ears from your steps.
I also move around a lot and tilt my head to work under a car dashboard and such and never stay in that well, and because they are big they are easy to knock out of your ears with your shoulders.
Also tried foam eartips which worked better, but putting them in is a pain and it's not all that comfortable having foam expand in your ears.
I used to use the original airpods as daily driver but they sucked while using both buds cause I never could get the same fit and same sound in both ears so I used them mainly for podcasts and stuff in one ear.
The pro's have been great so far.
One thing to keep in mind with the pro's is that in order to update them you need a iphone (but the firmware they come with is fine) and you need a additional app for the battery status.
Reconnecting isn't really a thing either on android with these, so If you walk out of range and back again you probably have to tick the airpods in the bt settings (where my Soundcore buds do this on their own)
airpods are half in-ear where as the airpods pro are full in-ear.
