I am also quite interested in hearing recommendations for a good (Consumer-grade good heh) set of BT stereo headphones, and to jdcnosse The only set that i've found recently that looked interesting was the s-11 HD, Motorola though it's not over the ears and I hate the form factor, but it seems they finally decided to innovate on Bluetooth audio quality..

Well I did a quick look at Best Buy just to see what exactly is out there (never would pay their prices though haha) and yeah I noticed there was one Motorola pair. There was also another pair that looked fairly decent...

Found this: http://androidforums.com/android-accessories/39386-best-bluetooth-headphones-earbuds.html
Even though it's a tad old lol

I am going to connect it to my Parrot Minikit Neo bt speakerphone in my truck, then maybe try the Sony Ericsson MW600 and also the HTC Stereoclip, Also connect it to my N7 to see what it can do tether-wise. Oh forgot to see how it works with the torque app to read my odbII bt dongle and also my work phone which should connect via bt on my jabra pro headset.

Best Bluetooth headphones in my opinion are the Motorola s11 flex HD I just purchased. They sound great even with the garbage sound problems introduced in 4.2 and fit very well. They are sweat proof, have about 6 hours of playback, 150 for range and fast charging technology. 20 mins to a full charge and 5 mins for an hour. They pair very easily to my n10 and n4 as well. They aren't cheap though... run about $130. Well worth it as my last Motorola set lasted me 4 years, hundreds of hours running and washing the car, and a half marathon.

I have bluetooth headphones and will never be able to go back to corded. It's so awesome to be in my chair at work and be able to turn from one computer to another without the cord getting tangled etc
I've had several pairs:
My first pair: http://www.amazon.com/Motorola-S305-Bluetooth-Headset-Microphone/dp/B002BH3I9U/
They were cheap and I wanted to see if I could get by with bluetooth. They have a built in batter and use the same micro usb to charge so that was really convenient. Relatively comfortable and decent sound quality for the price. Battery life is so-so, and you cannot charge and listen to them at the same time
My current pair: http://www.amazon.com/Creative-WP-300-Wireless-Bluetooth-Headphones/dp/B004D4R9VC
Really good sound quality, especially the bass. Great battery life (I plug them in every couple days when I leave work). My only gripe is that they are On-Ear rather than circumaural. They can get a little uncomfortable to wear for extended periods of time (2+ hours) The other issue is that unlike the two I discuss below, there is no 3.55 jack for you to plug in in case the battery dies. I've never had an issue with this, but it's something to keep in mind. They also support Apt-X, which I don't think the N4 does
I am looking to upgrade, and the two I'm looking at are:
http://www.amazon.com/Sennheiser-MM-500-X-Bluetooth-Headphones/dp/B0076NDV0U
and
http://www.amazon.com/Parrot-Zik-Touch-Activated-Bluetooth-Headphones/dp/B0081TH24O
The Parrot has NFC which should make pairing them a breeze. Their sound quality is supposed to be excellent, and they are supposed to be overall awesome headphones. The main complaint I've seen in my research is that battery life is not quite up to par.
The Sennheiser are supposed to have superb sound quality as well, and generally have at least as good of features as the Parrot, though the sound quality supposedly takes a hit with Active Noise Canceling enabled. I don't really use noise canceling so I'm not sure how much I care (there is also the Sennheiser 500-X which don't offer it at all and are cheaper)
Engadget has a pretty solid review of the Parrot, and that's what I'm leaning towards right now, since I leave them at work I can just charge them every night so I don't think the battery life will be an issue for me.
Hopefully this helps!

Speaking of jambox...If you ever get interested in a bluetooth speaker...I have a jabra solemate and it's pretty awesome! It's a little larger than the jambox though but the volume and bass output is high enough for enjoyable outdoor use. Battery life has been extremely good. I got mine for $150.

I have the back beat 903+ from plantronics. Great warranty too. When they send you a replacement it starts a new 1 year warranty instead of continuing on the original. Have some issues staying connected if jogging from pocket but not in an armband or if you are just walking.

Oh btw, if you're going to be using bluetooth with wifi, you might wanna see if your wifi runs on 5ghz. I'm having a little trouble with my 2.4ghz wifi occasionally cutting out when bluetooth is engaged due to both transmitting on the same frequency.
Unfortunately, I can't switch to 5ghz because that frequency is dedicated to streaming wireless HD video and interactive guide to my TVs.

Bluebuds X
Personally, I'm gonna buy those.

[Q] need good bluetooth headphones for my n4

i need a good pair of bluetooth headphones (music and voice) for ny n4. I tried out over the ears and didnt like the pressure on my head. i tried the lg tones 7 and 8 series and either the bluetooth didnt work well or the audio quality wasnt great. i want to try the infinium, the new lg tones but cant justify to pay that much for similar types of headsets on thr market.

buy the sony sbh20 and add whatever headphones or earbuds you like

I ordered the JayBird BlueBuds X Sport from Amazon along with a case for the phone. People seem to like the BlueBuds X.

Any BT that uses apt x codec will sound great for being bt headphones. The jaybird x are nice as they support apt x. As well as many of the LG tone headphones. I know the Tone 730 I used sounds great for music. I wonder if your old phone did not have apt x support. Not all of them do. What price range are you looking at?

i have the z10 currently therefore i am estatic to get my n4
my budget is up to 100 but the more cost effective, the better so i can spend more on other accessories!

I have own the jaybirds x for a while now. Couldn't be happier with them. Sure they are a bit expensive but in my opinion worth every penny. My backup pair is the Motorola s10. The range is awesome on them. I could run a 1/8 mile track and never lose signal with my device.

I love my jaybirds bluebuds x they have amazing sound

The jay birds are the best, i found the next best at a fair price to be the Plantronics backbeat 2 to be the next best thing. Great sound good range and small footprint. People have claimed poor battery life. I avagerage about 5 to 6 hours of constant use. They claim 4 to 6 from the company i believe. Can be purchased around 50 dollars.

i saw the sammy gear circle as well! i may wait out for that as well.
thanks everyone for your input, i may try out the jay birds, i have small ears so not sure if that wings thing will work out well, but no harm in trying them out.

I've tried two models of the LG Tone with my Note 2. At times they sounded horrible, and also frequently cut the microphone out; the people on the call thought I hung up but I could still hear them but they couldn't hear me. That seemed to be a software issue on the Note 2. And it also got to where the headphones were staticy or went out even though they were only 2 feet from the phone. A reboot 90% of the time fixed those problems for a while.
So far I haven't experienced that with the Note 4 thankfully.

I have a pair of these under the anker brand. Not bad for only 30 bucks that I paid for them.
http://www.amazon.com/VicTsing-Blue...qid=1413976840&sr=8-1&keywords=atpx+bluetooth
But i know the jbird x sound much better then these. Do you have to have bt headphones? Maybe get a cheaper set for working out and a better set like these?
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00HUNUOJW/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o08_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I have these and they are great for the price.
I think my next headphones may be something like the samsung Level on set. Just waiting for a better price on them.

For those with the Jaybirds, how is the battery life?

AS long as they don't cut out/mute when wifi is on.. Had that issue with my Note 3 and LG HBS-750

I got the jaybirds. Love them. I've never ran them completely out of battery before charging, so I don't know the exact battery life. Have gotten over 5 hours many times though.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A

I want something unintrusive, to take advantage from android wear to actually control the device: so earphones, sound quality and almost no cable... right now the only thing I found are the Jaybirds.
JasonJoel, may I ask how fares the mic and noise cancellation system? The only complaint I've ever heard is about poor voice in-call!

I think the noise cancelation is pretty good. The mic quality is ok, but not great.

I just purchased the Plantronics Backbeats 2 about 3 days ago. Had never seen them but I went into Vzn to look for Note 4 accessories and saw the last pair hanging. I thought to myself, WOW only one pair....that's a good sign, right? lol. Anyway, I have to say I am satisfied with the sound quality. I love the pouch & fact that it is a on the go charger as well. I had plantronics before as a bluetooth earpiece about 10yrs ago and that was a good device way back then. I have issues with finding the proper sized buds to use. Oddly enough the large ones work best as fully plugging my ear for best sound quality. I am still gonna try Sammy' s Circle Gear though.

I have these http://www.amazon.com/MEElectronics...qid=1414287587&sr=8-1&keywords=airfi+matrix+2 MEElectronics Air-Fi Matrix2 AF62 Stereo Bluetooth Wireless + Wired Headphones with aptX, AAC, and NFC . They sound great with BT 4.0 and aptx codec and there isn't much clamping force

Thanks! I have the Platronics Backbeat Go 2, but the ear tips are terrible. There isn't any Comply Foam I can order either. No budget earbuds seem to have better fit and audio quality than the good old Klipsch S4a. I'll definitely pick these up to use with my Klipschs.

Which headphones are using with your 6P? How much did you pay for them?

Since the Nexus 6P comes without headphones, I was wondering which headphones everyone is using, and how much did it cost them? Would you recommend them to others? If you have tried more than once pair of headphones (wired or wireless) which one would you recommend?

I'm using the XBA-A3's at work and on the go: http://amzn.com/B00FJISZ28 They use a hybrid driver - pairing both a dynamic driver with two balanced armature drivers to create a fantastic sound.
I wear them about 6 hours per work day. They are by far the best sounding headphones I own. That's saying something, as I also own Sennheiser HD 650's, AudioTechnica ath-m50x, Shure SRH-840, Blue MoFi's, and Vmoda Crossfades which I use with my laptop and various portable/desktop headphone amps/dacs.
In searching for the best earbuds, I purchased and returned the RHA t20i, Shure 425s, Sennheiser Momentums, B&W C5s, and Audio-Technica ATH-CKR10... none of which were bad by any stretch of the imagination. The Audio Technica CKR10s are the closest to the XBA-A3, in my opinion. The XBA-A3's have an edge in mid and high end clarity in my comparisons. Balanced armatures for the win. I also prefer the over-ear wire guide and detachable cables. Also, most of those listed above don't have an in-line mic, which the Sony's do have. So, the A3's won, and I'm loving them daily.

Sennheiser HD800's with a chord Hugo amplifier.
~$2200 and sounds wonderful. Would recommend it any day.

I've always used my Audio Technica ATH-ESW9 for whenever I'm away from my T1 at home. They're around $200 new and I got mine for $120 like new off of Amazon a couple years ago. One thing I've always like is the sound signature of the ESW9 deviates from the rest of the Audio Technica offerings, and it's an absolute joy for listening to acoustic instruments. Brownie points for using real wood too. Along with the durable lambskin leather, part of the reason why I prefer them for portable use, the ESW9 provide decent isolation without muting your surroundings when they're properly seated on your ears. Call me paranoid, but too much isolation is why I don't use earbuds; I see it as a hazard.

LG HBS-810, paid about $85, plus $15 for some comply foam tips. Can't complain.

Sony XB-90EX (About 120$ import) with Gain ramped to 5 and the new powerAMP, I think I'm sold until the hybrid tips wear off.

I'm a basshead and this is my first "In-ear" monitors. I've also been and will be sony's XB fanboy and these pair just blew my mind.

JVC FX850s, though the phone's output & internal DAC makes them sound like crap (coming from Note 4). V4A doesn't make it much better. Placed an order for a cheap portable DAC, FiiO K1.

Great to hear, fan of the bass myself... thanks for the post..
They're currently somewhere between Japan and Manchester

I'm using Sony MDR-EX650 Earphones with Brass Housing, Smartphone Mic and Control. By far the best in ear headphones I've ever bought, and I'm really hard to please when it comes to sound quality. The sounds take is incredibly open for in ear headphones. I can hardly feel them in my ears, the bass Is punchy without making the sound muddy. Fantastic, really glad I bought the 6p, and these headphones. Got them for £60 but can get them for around £40 online

Bose QC 20's ("Samsung Model" which is their Android version) All of the buttons work (vol+,-, play/pause) and it has ANC with an 'active button'. The active mode gives you mild noise canceling with enhanced speaking level tones for running/working out. I paid $300 for them this past summer and I don't regret it at all. I own 5 pairs of Bose headphones total (QC 20's, Freestyle, SiE 2's, OE 2's and the True Sound over ear ones)

Been using the latest xiaomi in ear pro these past two weeks, it is a hybrid : 1ba and 1 dynamic. Bass seem overpowered (i'm not a basshead), mid a bit high and buttons (mic n vol) works with my music player (black player ex), build quality is great for the price. I would recommend this Xiaomi (i got it for around $28 ) for 'on the go' earphones. For 'serious listening' i use my red Shure 535LE with black oyaide cable.

I'm rocking a V-Moda Crossfade LP2 - picked them up as open box off eBay for $99 and added the XL foam ear pads from V-Moda, also an eBay purchase. They sound ridiculously good, and the ear pads make these comfy af. The inline remote does NOT work though, but it worked on a Lumia - go figure, as Apple and MS have a patent deal. >.> Get with it Google! I miss pausing my music or summoning Cortana with the Play/Pause button on the cable.

I've got a few hooked up for different purposes, Grado SR325i are my hands down favorite for sound but unless I'm sitting still in a quiet room they're not so wonderful.
Realistically though, my MPOW Cheetah Blueetooth get the most play time. $16 on sale. They don't sound anywhere as nice as my RE0's (which I bought so long ago I don't remember the price, definitely more than $16 though), but the whole wireless headphone thing is just so darn practical and the battery life is good enough that I would definitely recommend them.

I've been using Audio-Technica M50x's ($133) around the house and Klipsch S4's ($99) or Jbuds ($35) while out and about. Very happy with all of them.

I use some jbl wireless in ears, bose qc 20s, and sennheiser momentum in ears.

Beats PowerBeats2 Bluetooth for cardio. Paid $100 on Black Friday. I think at $100, its pretty good. Battery life is amazing. Sound is decent. But I wouldn't pay full price for them.
Shure SE215 for everything else. Paid $100 for them.
Bose QC15 for flights which I haven't traveled much lately so its not used ah much. Forgot how much I paid. Maybe $300ish.
I also have Bose IE2, Audio Technician M50 but those are rarely used.

For wireless listening, I use a pair of Jaybird Bluebuds X. They work ver well and sound pretty good.
For wired listening, I have a pair of Klipsch S4is that I use when the BlueBuds are out of battery, and mostly for calls. My favorite pair are the Vmoda Crossfade LP2. The Vmoda give me the best sound out of all my headphones, but I don't like wearing them for extended periods of time. The Vmoda inline controller button does not work on the 6P by the way, and the same applies to many stock headphones for some reason.
I backed The Dash on Kickstarter two years ago and it looks like I should finally be getting mine in the next month or two. I'm very excited to get them to replace the BlueBuds, but Bluetooth sound quality will never match wired units.

Unless you are an audiophile, I will recommend the Mpow Wolverine: http://amzn.com/B017I50T0K. They are cheap and the sound is excellent in my opinion. Additionally, they work perfectly with "Ok Google" commands, I mean detecting the "OK Google", which I have found to be inconsistent with other wireless or wired headphones. The microphone is on the volume control bar, so it is closer to your face and phone calls are really clear.
I also own the Mpow Swift: http://amzn.com/B00PW3B194, which I bought first. These are not as good, the sound is not the best in my opinion. I use them at work to listen to music and news podcast, so I don't need real good sound, as I keep the volume very low. The microphone in this one is on the right-ear headphone, so people have trouble hearing me if it is windy.
PS: No, I don't work for Mpow, I bought them because I found them on sale, so I paid $9.99 for each one.

Best Bluetooth headset you can recommend

Im looking to buy a new headset.
Im talking a lot on the phone in my work and beside that im doing sports and heavy music listening.
So, what can you recommend? I really care for the quality and i was thinking about the Sony hbs5X... Any recommendations about any of those or anything different?

I own Sony SBH50 and it's absolutely great, I can't find a weak point. Maybe I'd like a better battery life, but on the other hand battery is never enough. I think that SBH52 adds waterproof and HD voice, but audio quality of SBH50 is already great.

Thanks, what do you think about the 54?

I have an SBH52 and love it. Works great with the Note 4 and very convenient being able to answer calls (and see who's calling) without touching the phone. There are lots of add-ons in the Play store as well that allow you to view text messages and gmail messages etc right on the screen of the SBH52 (and other Sony headsets).

I didn't know about SBH54 until a few days ago. I think it's the SBH52 "rebranded", I do not see any striking differences. If I had to buy a new bluetooth and was not on a tight budget, I'd definitely buy it. Right now, SBH50 is just fine for me.
For me. the main reason for buying it was the FM radio. What I'd really like to see in one of those is some presets for the FM radio, so we wouldn't have to search our favorite stations all the time.

i still just use the LG HBS-730
and still hd voice too with own eq settings and vibrate when getting a call
also battery life is pretty great and charges about 30 mins from dead

I'm using Plantronics Explorer 500 and i'm very happy.

I Have Sony MW1 bluetooth having built in memory card for music .and it last long battery life.i recommend this

I don't use Bluetooth Headset for Music. For calls, I tried many and finally settled on Plantronics Voyager Edge finally. Nothing that's available in India beats it in terms of use in noisy, windy conditions. 6hr talk time maybe less for some but for me it's enough since I usually have the charging dock handy to recharge it quickly.

Plantronics Voyager Legend.

I absolutely love my Plantronics Voyager legend. Everyone always compliments me on the quality of sound, it's comfortable...and I've worn it on all day conference calls. Great battery life. Recharges fast.
Get the charging case, it's essential.

BlueParrot B250-XT Plus is hands down the best headset available !
it's big and a little bulky but is amazing ! i've had bluetooth headsets
for the last 15 years and this is the best !

If you do a lot of sports and music on a go kinda thing then SQ isn't the #1 priority! Sweat resistance, secure fit and durability gotta be on top of your list! Nothing beats Plantronics BackBeat Fit in these aspects, absolute king of sporty headsets! SQ is just decent/good, can be slightly better if you buy JBL's extratips! Calling (phonecalls and VoIPs) is just fine! Here's the link from amazon to check users' reviews and find these JBL tips as well amazon. But buy it refurb from eBay, they are in 40-55$ range! Good luck

i have a planatronic legend. love it. best bluettoth ever owned. i have owned a lot! 9 yrs of m-f 8hrs plus with one in my ear. love my planatronics

Agreed. BlueParrot makes the best noise cancelling microphones period. Truck drivers swear by the 250. My old boss says he uses the 250 in his motorcycle helmet and no one can tell hes flying down the highway. They have a 350 now that uses microusb to charge and the firmware can be upgraded. I own the 350, it amazing. But neither of those models will work with exercising. They have other products, but out of my realm.

My current driver is http://www.plantronics.com/uk/product/voyager-edge.
I highly recommend it!

3 recommendations --
-- Plantronics Legend for workday when I'm at the desk on con calls
-- LG Infinim for during Golf or other activity. The nice thing with both LG and Legend is it allows 2 phones to be connect at once. I have a home cell phone and work cell phone, so this feature is critical. The infinim stays stays on my neck even with my wild golf swing.
-- For plane ride, Bose QC20. I didn't think it would make that big of a difference, but when you turn these on, the airplane engine noise disappears. This isn't bluetooth, but you can connect it to a BT receiver.

I am using samsung circle Bluetooth to me it's the best sounds experience and battery
Ps: I have 5 year using Bluetooth and the circles it's the best on my opinion

Airpods alternative?

Hello,
long time iPhone user here, last year i have been using the Airpods with my XS MAX that i sold.
I am looking for some "airpods equivelant" for my Samsung device (i got S10 and Note 10+)...i have unsuccesfully tried the Samsung Galaxy Buds, i am very dissapointed because the call quality which is the most important thing to me is not good at all, cant even compare it to the airpods...
So, what bluetooth would you recommend for everyday use, with good call quality so i can talk ?? I wouldn't like something like the old style bluetooth like Plantronics etc, i am looking for something fresh like Airpods, Galaxy Buds etc style

Airpods

You have Jabra. They have goods reviews.

From my experience, all bluetooth headsets have horrible call quality, including the Airpods. In a quiet place any would work fine, but once you go in public, it becomes really bad.
I always carry both wired and wireless headsets at the same time, just in case.

Huawei just released their Airpod clones. You could try one of those; otherwise Jabra's lineup are the best you're going to get without going into $250+ range.
Alternatively, you can just get Airpods. Even on Android, they have superior call quality, and there's plenty of apps on the Play Store that emulate the functionality it has on the iPhone or that the Galaxy Buds have on Samsung devices.

I use Cambridge Audio Melomamia 1's
Superb battery life and more subtle in the ears, I love them.

One minor annoyance about the Melomania 1 is the microUSB charging port on the case.
An alternative to consider is the Creative Outlier Air TWS. IMO, it performs better than the reviews - both from the sonic aspects (details and presence), connectivity and price point, not to mention it's USB-C and rated for 10-hr per charge (plus 20 from the case). When it comes to sound quality and connectivity, they are my favorites. I have yet to experience any connection drop in various environment with plenty of radio-noise. The button is not as convenient as others, and I had to paint the LED-ring with flat black model paint to conceal the annoying pulsating blue light when there is no active sound source, even if BT is connected.

Sony wf-1000xm3. Best in class.

Xiaomi Mi Airdots, 30$ (so cheap) and they sound really good even in calls

I bought just now an Edifier TWS-1 ~ $30 from Ali, with ship from Spain. I am satisfied with it, 8-9 hrs battery and case can charge them 3-4 times, sum 34 hrs. It has built-in mic, I think that is crap, but sound drivers are OK. I recommend it.

I ordered the Liberty 2 Pro from Soundcore. I'll let you know if they are any good.

I vote on Xiaomi Mi Airdots too, cheap and awesome sound.

From my experience, all bluetooth headsets have horrible call quality, including the Airpods. In a quiet place any would work fine, but once you go in public, it becomes really bad.

THIS!
Any wireless bud can only put its microphone as close to your mouth as your ear is. In a perfectly quiet setting, this is fine, as even several inches from your mouth, the signal to noise ratio will be high, and others can likely hear you well. For the galaxy buds, they have a second mic inside the bud (but outside your sealed canal. That isn't a very good place to collect sound from your voice, but is better than having a ton of background noise covering up your talking. So they switch to the inside mic whenever the outside mic measures a lot of noise. They just do some equalization on that signal to remove most of the spectrum outside of your primary voice frequencies (especially for intelligibility). It will sound bad (robot-like), but at least the other side will likely be able to make out your words.
If you want a decent headset for calls, you need to get the mic on a boom fairly close to your mouth. That's why you see so many of the wired headset folks holding the mic close to their mouth when speaking. I too keep a wired headset with a boom just for calls. Not needed if I have my buds in and I am in a quiet room, but pretty much necessary any other time.

Airpods works fine with Android. I'm using an app called MaterialPods to check battery status etc.

Creative Outlier Air. A little pricey, but they have great battery life and their sound quality is well above their price range. I bought them for my daughter and I will buy them for myself too.

I googled them and.. I mean... They might sound good, but it would be nice if they won't look like buttplugs for your ears

OP, why not just use Airpods? They work great on Android devices, you still get the same decent AAC audio and the fit and design clearly works for you. I have some of the Melomania as well, but I use Airpods when I'm out and about.

Creative Outlier Air.
Great sound quality, highest battery endurance and very good for talking. No dropouts or connectivity problems in general with my Galaxy S10.
The buttons could have been better, but it's just a minor annoyance.

Hello,
long time iPhone user here, last year i have been using the Airpods with my XS MAX that i sold.
I am looking for some "airpods equivelant" for my Samsung device (i got S10 and Note 10+)...i have unsuccesfully tried the Samsung Galaxy Buds, i am very dissapointed because the call quality which is the most important thing to me is not good at all, cant even compare it to the airpods...
So, what bluetooth would you recommend for everyday use, with good call quality so i can talk ?? I wouldn't like something like the old style bluetooth like Plantronics etc, i am looking for something fresh like Airpods, Galaxy Buds etc style

Why did you sell your airpods. You do realize they work with Android?
