[Q] Why people prefer wired headphones vs. Stereo Bluetooth?

There are a lot of topics in the forum about people having trouble finding compatible headphones to work for music and "remote" control the phone playback.
the Bluetooth A2DP works perfectly fine in SGS for both Car Receivers and Stereo headset, and it switch transparently between music to phone calls and back without a glitch.
(i can't say the same for WM phones, another reason why i left WM platform, PalmOS was good, but is no longer produced)
There are lots of excellent Stereo BT headphones in the market now, both Studio like or simple 1 ear type, whatever ticks your fancy, the studio type offers the best audio quality even over BT.
yes it might consume more battery, but battery replacements are very inexpensive. (see accessories section)
I've not looked back to use a wired headphones since BT Stereo was invented, i used to have wired headphones for breakfast, it was a mass murder of headphones every time you get in the bus or subway, i've saved a lot of money since i moved to BT, so it's very surprising to still see people trying to work out the wiring problems with the headsets
I've been there before, every time i switched to a new phone, i needed to find another adapter to convert this to that, so that i can do something as simple as answer the phone on the headset, it was a major PITA.
so it'll be interesting to hear your side of the story to prefer wire over BT (other than "saving" battery and "better sound quality")

I find the bluetooth headsets to be kind of douchie personally. I also don't like the idea of keeping a radio transmitter attached to my head for extended periods (same goes for stereo bluetooth). Whilst I don't particularly believe in the freaks who claim they are radio sensitive, we don't really have any way of knowing how safe they are.
Extra convenience perhaps? Not for general usage. I work unpacking boxes all night and I use hardwired headphones, and it has never gotten in the way (so why bother coughing up a lot of extra money for a technology with potentially worse sound quality and negligible benefits).
IT also chews through battery as you mentioned, but i'm also learning to fly. You never know when you regret sucking up the battery earlier in the day for a technology whose only benefit is no cord.
There are benefits for Bluetooth, such as integrating with a car stereo, some flight headsets have bt built in, transferring files and connecting to special adapters which normally would need USB (such as NMEA GPS or OBD2 devices). But realistically, replacing hardwired headphones with bluetooth seems to be a case of doing so because some people think it gives them an identity. There are very few I believe who actually benefit. But that's only an opinion....

More battery consumption on both the phone and the headset. Which means more cost and more responsibility (buying or keeping batteries charged). Worse sound quality is present with bt than what you'll get in high end headphones, I am always using either high end buds or noise cancelling headsets.
I find the bt thing a bit like nutrasweet, it might sound like a good idea, I just don't want to touch the stuff.

I'd have to buy a stereo Bluetooth headset, as I don't own one, and then I'd have to remember to keep it charged and carry it with me.
I'm sure it would work okay, but I don't have a problem with a wired headset, so a Bluetooth one would only really cost money and make me liable to forget to charge it.

Interesting post AllGamer. Care to point me with some recommendations on good stereo bluetooth headphones?

i replied back to some other topic with that info in the accessories section, i'll need to dig it out
here is the topic i was posting on the reviews
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7611857&postcount=4
+1 vote for Motorola HT820, it is simply the VERY BEST! of them all; in funtionality, ease of use, sound purity, and comfy level.
other ones i've and still using but don't like are:
Jabra BT8010 (good but always breaks the earloop)
Sony HBH-DS980 (too much wire, it defeats the purpose of bluetooth)
Sony DRBT21G (pales in comparison to Moto HT820, but it's passable, not comfy though)
BlueTake BT420Rx (Gen1 bluetooth, no A2DP, limited features, very comfy, good sound, but it looks like princess leia specially if you have the white version)
Plantronics Voyager 855 (pure garbage, no A2DP)
Motorola S9 (dies easily with sweat dripped into the device, bad design, it's a total failure compare to its big brother HT820)
my top 2 choices for sound are:
HT820
BT420Rx
my top choice for formar work/fun mix
BT8010
unfortunately the BT8010 is very prone at breaking the earloop even with careful use, i went through 3 sets of it already.
luckily enough when you buy these they come in pairs with the stereo side, so i always use the stereo side of the earloop to replace the main headset, as i seldomly use the stereo side of the headset, i mostly just use the single side of it.
for real stereo i'll much prefer to use the HT820

I have a Jabra BT8010 and it's an amazing piece of hardware. Excellent battery life, rich bass, equalizer, comfortable and great sound quality.
In my opinion, BT headsets are a convenience, and I sincerely disagree with being related with "douchebaggery" or "looking for an identity".

Hi,
Used the Sony Ericsson HBH-IS800's before when I had a SE phone and they work a treat on the Galaxy S too. There are no controls, but I like to use the phone as the "remote" which is fine.
I find them convenient for listening to music on the tube when packed in and shouldering a bag. Sounds good enough to me, though I am not an audiophile.
BTW: I noticed on the 2.2 test frimware JP3 that the eq effects worked across BT unlike current version that says you need to plug in headphones.
In terms of battery I manage approx 3 hours a day which does my commute to and from work. They also work quite good with Galaxy S when watching videos too.
Cheers,

well for the galaxy s its simple ... the 5.1 audio enhancement says enough for u to use wired.
I got 3 sony stereo bt headsets and the only reason why i use it is for the convenience during commute. I dont want my phone getting tangled up somewhere in the metro and end up falling out being damaged or lost because of my headphone cord.
I feel much safer knowing its deep in my pocket without fear of it accidentally slipping out.
But when I am at work by my desk i use wired ... saves battery as well.

Explain convenient.. What exactly is so convenient for them over normal headphones, which deliver better quality sound for cheaper? There are some people who do get benefits by using them (at work), where they need to free their hands and cant really have cables swinging around, such as computer technicians, but most people seem to use them whilst they are simply walking around..

quality wired headphones cost as much, if not more than a stereo bluetooth headset.
for example Sennheiser HD 448 (average $100)
those $30 ones just doesn't cut it, you need the base, the sub.
but if you go up the next level Audio-Technica ATH-M50 (average $150)
and if you go higher Sennheiser HD 800
but it's too big for my head, and wallet too (almost $1500)
in the past i broke a lot of those $100 entry level headphones
another down side of using headphones, you can't talk/answer the phone with them, you have to unplug, remove the headphones then talk.
with bluetooth it is just a simple click of a button in the ear

Using a sony DR-BT21G. Loving it so far. Only downside is the massive charger. Kinda wish it can run on usb charger instead. It only needs 3V after all.

Expect mic adapters to be released with a 3.5mm jack. That's how sony ericsson did it..
You can get quality for cheap, if you know where to look...

You answered your own question. In MY case, is convenient and a personal thing. I absolute HATE cables of all sorts. I have a wireless headset in my PC, wireless KB and mouse and use a wireless printer. I also use a wireless home theater at home (ok, not 100% wireless but it's 2 cables less...)
Everything that I can do to have wireless I do because it's convenient. It's more organized and as I said before, a personal choice.
I agree that wired headphones AT THE MOMENT offer better sound quality for the price, but since I'm not an audiophile, I'm more then happy with what I have now.
The convenience is the easy to setup, the easy access and safety. As some people pointed before, it's very common for the wires to entangle somewhere in your clothes or other things and you risk damaging both your hedphones breaking the cable or even pulling away your phone and losing/breaking it.

the only cable i have in my Wireless Home theater is the long arse 1080p HDMI cable going from the PC Receiver to the projector
if and when they come out with a good wireless 1080p HDMI i'll definitely have everything wireless.
for audiophile or not, i'll recommend the Sony DRBT50
as an extension of what i already listed before, for sports fan the Samsung SBH500 is better suited for the task
those 2 are excellent alternative if you can't find the Motorola HT820
the Sony DRBT50 has better bass/base than the moto ht820
there is one that is 100% audiophile but it lacks the handsfree profile for phone calls
it's the Sennheiser PX210BT, that one is guaranteed to sound like the regular wired Sennheiser headphones

I wish I could use my BT headphones. So far I've tried S9-HD, HBH-IS800 and Nokia BH-504 and all of them have horrible sound quality with SGS.

I have the hbh ds 205 and it sounds awesome.
I decided to get a new version of it and purchased the sony mw600 and it sounds awesome. Especially now that froyo was released we could use the 5.1 sound enhancement with our bluetooth devices.

One reason why I don't use my bluey headset is the damn thing blinks a blue led all the time . Its like a signal for everyone to look at me. I've taken a marker and coloured it black a few times. Another reason is I tend to forget to recharge the thing as it only has about 12hours play time.

I have a DS980 an MW600 both from Sony Ericsson. I seldom use them now.
I'm not that satisfied with the sound quality of the DS980 & the earphone cannot be replaced.
For the MW600 the short earphone that came with the device also does not sound great, so when I use my personal earphone the sound is great buy the cable will be very long...

I just have been through myself a headphone buying hassle, and had to send back 2 BT sets to refund due poor music quality. The first was Jabra Halo for around £60. It looks cool, and the most comfortable headset I've ever used, but the sound quality is just not there. It's clear, okay, but it's also quiet, and has absulutely no noticable bass.
Ordered a Nokia BH 504, which is a £10 cheaper, but sound quality is almost the same. Still quiet(not usable in traffic), still no bass, maybe a bit more clarity compare to Jabra. Sent back for refund as well.
Next one was the previously mentioned Motorola HT820(got the geniune one), it cost way less then it's friends(£25), and has much better sound! Maybe it's not as clear as the rest, but definetely has better bass, and louder as well. Through Pc it's somehow still not the best! The range is fine(just like others), the battery life is incredible(got it for 2 weeks, use it every day, but haven't charged yet). The mic is also good via phone, tho i had problems via pc skype, and msn call. It's not as comfortable as the previously mentioned ones, you can't really lay down with this thing on your head, and also after 30 min use, it cuts the top of my ears(big ears maybe?). Still not the best quality I've ever had, but definetely worth £25!

Headphones

I don't think the phone comes with them. What headphones everyone will be using? Also, if anyone has the phone, could you let us know if the volume and call controls work on the headphones you have. Thanks!

When traveling I'll be using Audio-Technica ATH-M50x. In the office I use iPhone ear buds. They volume buttons don't work but the play/pause button does.

Sennheiser IE8i and Beyerdynamic t51i. Both have controls made for the iPhone so I'm only expecting the center button & mic to work like the rest of the Android phones I've plugged them into. If anyone has any recommendations for great headphones with full Android controls, I'm all eyes.

I'll be using RHA t20i and the Blue MOFI headphones. Don't have the phone yet. Going to try to OTG with my OPPO HA2, but will need an adaptor first. The RHAs expose bad recordings, so it will be interesting to see how the 6p performs without the DAC. The MoFi's just sound good with everything.

I have the monster isport victory headphones, and the play/pause buttons work and so does answering calls. The seek tracks buttons dont work though. These headphones have been great so far for an active person. There water resistant and have even survived the wash and dryer twice!

I have a pair of black and white zipbuds slide I bought about a month ago to go with my frosty 6p. So far I love them because they have a zipper to prevent the buds from getting tangled. The sound is WAY better than any other earbuds I've owned and it actually has bass! I'm not an audiophile by any means but I really love them and can't wait to get my 6p to match.
Also, I recommend getting them from amazon because they were $20 cheaper at the time.

I'm using a Klipsch S4i paired with a MPOW BT adapter for normal use. When I'm at home or need something more I use my Audio-Technica M50. If you need somehting cheap then Monoprice has a pretty decent selection also.

I think i had those Klipsch ear buds - a very good set of headphones. Don't they have a 3 button mic you could customize in android via an application?
Also, the Sennheiser Momentums are a great sounding pair. Thought of throw that out there.

I believe that's the s4a. Mine is made for iOS but it was way cheaper ($40) and it's the reference edition. I have a Pebble to help me with controls otherwise. I haven't used the buttons in a while, so I'll try them again and let u know.

mosincredible Android OEMs implement the volume controls differently and not consistently. The IE8i you have have replaceable cables. I am not familiar with those headphones and am not sure what connectors they use. If they use common connectors (e.g. MMCX or two pin) then you can get an aftermarket cable on Ebay. There are many cable options that work with Samsung devices and they sometimes work with other brands. For instance my cables have full controls with my G4 but only had the standard play pause on my Motorola and HTC. When my phone gets here and if my cables work and your IEMs have common connectors I can direct you to aftermarket options.
As for headphone recommendations based on what you currently own if you are looking for IEMs I would carefully consider getting customs (CIEMs). There are tons of good CIEM suppliers and constant new entries to the market so pricing is very competitive. Of consideration though CIEMs generally have terrible resale value. Also, depending on how you use them (e.g. for working out or hard physical activity) and how sensitive/flexible your aural canals are fitment can be far more challenging than the glowing online reviews of how comfortable they are would lead you to believe. However, once you get a great fitting CIEM it's hard to go back to a universal.
My path to great CIEMs for my purposes was not as smooth as it appears to be for most people on for instance Head-Fi. I have a few pairs of very expensive acrylics that get very little use. I ultimately had to get silicone CIEMs to get something comfortable for my activities and admittedly excessively long listening sessions. In summary consider CIEMs but do so carefully as at least for me it was expensive and much harder to get to what I thought I was certain to get on the first try.

LeEco Type C to 3.5mm Headphone Jack Adapter: How Long Will It Last?

Hey all. The LeEco Pro3 is my first phone without a headphone jack, and I'm really curious about one thing: the included USB-C 3.5mm headphone adapter. The build quality doesn't seem particularly great so I'm guessing it'll break quite easily (I hope not).
Now, I stuff my phone into my pocket all the time with the headphone adapter connected, and it's always stuck at an angle. Unfortunately it has to be like that for me to fit it into my pockets, otherwise it dangles out and stays unprotected. I travel in bad weather (live in Canada), so I absolutely need everything to stay inside my pockets or my electronics will get wet. Sadly, the headphone adapter gets bent every time.
So I'm wondering... how long did your headphone adapter stay alive? When did it stop working? Is it still working? And can anyone recommend me other USB-C headphone adapters that work with LeEco phones? I do have a spare original LeEco adapter to use if mine breaks (from the Le2) but I'd rather buy other ones instead.
Thanks!

Mine lasted a week or so.. but i knew it was going to break fast so i bought 6 more type c to 3.5 adapters from aliexpress at 1 usd. the only problem is that the channel pan is inverted but meh.. it was 1 usd so i can't ask much haha . my recommendation is to buy a lot of cheap adapters and use them freely without the constant fear of having just one and trying not to break it

A week? Wow. But yeah, I recently replaced the OEM adapter which looked like it was about to break. Horrible build quality on these. Does the OEM one have a built-in DAC, and do all headphone jack adapters come with one? IDK.
I bought the VOXLINK adapter thinking it would let me charge and listen to music at the same time, but when doing so, it produces a static noise over audio, so it's impossible to enjoy music unless you're listening to a loud and heavy song that muffles the static well.
Why is it so hard to find a decent USB-C headphone jack dongle. Especially with phones ditching the poor headphone jack left and right.

Link for the 6 adapters for $1?

I mean if you want a quality one. I'd buy Google's adapter

Mine died about 4 weeks after I got the phone. Bought a few adapters from xiaomi which look a lot sturdier. They were about 3€ per piece on Aliexpress.

Huh, interesting. Yeah, I have little faith in adapters that only use that soft rubbery stuff to cover cables. Google's adapter also uses that material, and it's really no good for longevity. My Voxlink adapter is still going strong, though it's way too bulky to use. So I bought a cheaper one that uses the same material for $1, and although it's slightly too long, it's sturdy. But I miss how small and compact the original LeEco adapter is.

Mine is still working, more than a year old now. Used almost every day.

Does the adapter that comes with the phone support headphones that have a 3 button control (Vol+ / Vol- / Play-Pause) and the microphone? I have ordered the phone but I am not sure if it will work with my Bose headphones that has the 3 buttons.

In case I need to buy a new adapter in the future, what is the best way to find one that will work for the Le Pro 3? I have read that some adapters work for some phones but not all. I have seen a lot of adapters that are listed to be compatible with the Pixel and Moto Z but it doesn't mention the Le Pro 3.

My adapter is perfectly fine after 8 months

Mine also works. I got the phone around November 2016.

Audio adapters, splitters or dedicated USB-C DACs known to work w/ Le Pro3?
Hey everyone, I know this thread has been inactive for two years, but has anyone tried more USB-C to 3.5mm adapters, USB-C splitters (audio jack + USB-C for charging and audio simultaneously) and/or dedicated USB-C DACs with the Le Pro3? I'm considering buying a sturdy audio adapter/splitter (like the ones from Ugreen or Baseus), or the DDHIFI TC35B, but I don't want to waste my money into something that will not work properly (or won't work at all) with the Le Pro3. From there, I ask you this question, I'd greatly appreciate if you could tell me of any adapter/splitter/DAC that's known to work with the LEX720/722/727.
Thanks in advance.

Headphones?

All of my previous mobile phones included 3.5mm headphone jacks. For airline travel I use my Bose 25's. At the gym, some cheap ear buds. That "converter" seems like it will be the first thing to go missing and a hassle to use. Bluetooth would be great, except for keeping the headphone charged. I'm looking for some inexpensive ear buds I can keep in the car and take into the gym with me.
Does anyone have experience with inexpensive USB C headphones that definitely work with this phone?

Pixel earbuds have been a solid choice for $30

Sony MDR EX650AP
Outstanding

JBL makes "Aware-C" which has a USB-C port. They are noise-cancelling and mostly what I use on airplanes at this point....even with devices that have headphone jacks (and USB-C ports).

Xiaomi Mi Dual Driver works perfect.

Audio Adapter/USB-C Earphone Recommendations?

Does anyone know a good adapters that is compatible with PH-1?. I won't buy the original one, It's crazy expensive with the shipping fee since I live in Thailand. I lost mine a week ago. now I'm using Airpods (which still have some connections problems)
or if you have a good USB C earphones that would be great too!

This is what I'm planning... Get the USB Type C headphones from OnePlus. (or Xiaomi or any brand)
This is the only middle path I can think of.
The type C to 3.5mm dongles don't work unless they have DAC.
The wireless ones are crazy expensive.
Whatever you buy - MAKE SURE IT HAS DAC.

Xiaomi dongle doesn't work, also Ugreen and every cheap dongle.
You need DAC in the dongle, you can buy Google and maybe OnePlus, I'm not sure about OnePlus

I have the Google USB C Pixel Buds. They sound good for the price and they fit well, although they don't block any outside sounds at all. The Google Assistant function works with the Essential Phone, too.

I have this one from aliexpress, quite decent for the price and works well except for the microphone which never worked for me.

I just got a Google USB-C headphone adapter, and I can confirm that it works perfectly with the Essential phone, too.

if you looking fro headset adapter for essential phone, I have 2 with DAC, am in Manila, Philippines

You know they now sell Bluetooth adapters for headphones?
Now you can take any regular 3.5mm headphones, plug them into an adapter (which is about the size of a regular volume control on Bluetooth headphones) and you have Bluetooth headphones.
ONN (Walmart in house brand) had this adapter for $10. It acts just like a normal Bluetooth headphone in that you charge the adapter, but you can use the adapter with any speaker or headphone you have so it is more convenient.
Basically they all look like this https://m.aliexpress.com/item/40001...4XzpLsTpr1hzjlQzwMbdAtr4y9y8FBGf1567841536673

I can confirm that the Libratone Q Adapt in-ear earphones work perfectly with the Essential Phone. They sound great, and I love the noise cancelling feature.

I bought the wally world adapter 'cause it was in clearance section for $6. It sucks. The audio is horrible. I am comparing it to other bluetooth adapters and 3.5mm port, same earbuds.
I highly recommend the best buy house brand insignia adapter. $30 the battery lasts around 7-8 hrs, and can be used while charging. I cant stress how good the audio is. I havent used it on a set of big cans, but it drives my earbuds loud and clear. Great bass, great mids, and great highs. I mostly listen to audio books, but in between, i'll fire up some dubstep or stoner rock, even brass quintets.
