[Q] Bluetooth Range

Hi All!
I use my N5 almost every day for music via BT earphones. I've noticed that the range compared to my N4 is significantly less.
With the N4, I could walk about 10-15+ meters away from the phone before it started cutting in and out. With the N5, I'd be lucky to get 3 meters before it starts cutting in and out.
Is anyone else experiencing similar issues? Is this going to be the norm because of the low energy BT 4 present in the N5?
Thanks. :good:

Same for me

I have the same problem. I was wondering if it was the case I'm using, but I doubt it since it's only plastic and not too thick (I have the Spigen Ultra Fit). But I noticed that the range is the worst out of all my recent Android phones. The Xperia ZL and Nexus 4 were much better.
Just putting the phone at the gym on my left pocket (where I usually put it) vs the right one makes the audio cut out on my Jaybird Freedom headphones. This never happened with the other phones.
I'm considering getting the newer Bluebuds X since they are supposed to have better range, but it would be nice to not have to spend money on new headphones.
It works great in the car.

And you use them with the Nexus 5? That's good to know!

I get the same distance as with my old phone which is about 30 feet.
I have the BluebudsX. If you switch....believe me you won't be dissappointed. By far the best headset I've used yet.

I seem to get about the same range when compared to my n4.

I do know that the Bluebuds X are supposed to have much better range than the Jaybirds I have right now. I just never had any issues with my previous phones. I do love that the Bluebuds are much tinier AND use a regular micro USB port.
I was ready to buy them when they were running their promo a few months ago for $120. They're now $136 plus tax on Amazon.

I feel like I get pretty amazing range with my phone. I can be 20/25 feet away before I get disconnects on Bluetooth.

My Pebble gets GREAT range. BLE can travel much further, but I don't have other regular Bluetooth devices to test with. I'll have to see how far I can walk away from the car before the audio starts breaking up. Might be incompatibilities with the older stack/hardware of the Jaybird Freedom headphones.

Yup.

Try disabling WiFi and see if that helps any. I believe they share the same antenna.

Bluetooth Headsets

EDIT: Opinions on Jabra MOVE Wireless Bluetooth, Amazon has black starting at $60~ Worth? (awe reviewers show cushions ripping open)
I checked my email for promotions and had these from Groupon, thought I'd pass them along. If you have any comments / opinion or any other BT Headphone deals please post.

I used to have a pair like these, it would eventually hurt the back of my ear after long time use.

I've seen my boss at work always use these at work, looks like the ones on groupon just different brands. Seem pretty popular in terms of usage, so I'm guessing they work pretty well.

Now I've been turned on to aptx. Reading the crs site it seems Qualcomm bought them.

So researching and most reviews are saying that the jaybird bluebuds x2 are the current best.
My dog ate my LG tone pro hbs 730 which are older but good.
Trying to figure out best ones to get. Want great sound and something great for running as well. I hear the x2 cover all that. Specially with the comply buds that come with it now.
The other was considering as the new lg infinim. Up to other suggestions as well.
Sent from my non-Mega loved v10 H901.

I'd like to get on ear or over ear, something small tho. The in ear tend to hurt me, on ear might if they are too tight.

I recommend the hbs-810 or second gen tone ultra. Half the footprint of the tone infinim with retractable earbuds. The x2 is my best sport headphone set but isn't ideal for office environments. That is where the tone shines.

Yeah I decided on the x2. Man do yet sound great with v4a and dolby atmos running. I don't really walk around or use them in an office environment. Mostly use to run and workout and when ride the bike.
Going to keep testing as I have 40 days to return

In that case the x2 is the best hands down as long as you get a good seal. I love their warranty and how low profile they are. Glad you found what you were looking for!

second one is exactly the same price at amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Motorola-Univ...p/B00H0CV9TM/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top?ie=UTF8
I figured the last one had the same price. Groupon is great if you want to find a place that has deals on nails or hair or a spa. They've pretty much been selling schlock for years now in terms of merchandise.
Just my opinion, you may have another.

These are the ones I bought in 2013 from Amazon, the price has gone down since I bought them and I think there's newer version out there, but mine are amazing. There's another version where the buds retract into the headset, I still like the ones I have and still work great after 2 years:

Ive found expensive bt headphones dont sound much better, but perhaps last long fit btter look better or have more features.
My point wasnt to buy them on groupon or that they had any btter price, but more a comparision at sub $40-50 worth buying~
Ive seen some recomendations, features, look and talk about how it feels after wearing for a while. Once i can determine decent ones ill search for pricing.

Best VR Headset?

Was wondering if anybody is using this device for VR and how is the experience? I have never used a VR headset but i would like to know what are some of the best/ most recommended headsets available. I've seen the Zeiss VR One headset but not really sure if there are any features or pros that would make this set a viable purchase over say a 15-40 dollar set off of amazon. Far as i know the only features any of them offer is adjusting focal length/distance? Nothing to spend an extra 60 bucks on.
PS: A large 5.7 QHD screen with stereo front facing speakers seemed perfect for VR hence one of the main reasons i decided to go with this phone over my other top picks. Might as well get the most out of the experience lol

Can the Gear VR games and software be used on other headsets

No the Gear VR only works with very certain Samsung handsets such as the Galaxy S6 and S7 Family of Devices. But there are other VR Headsets under the name of Google Cardboard all over amazon etc that will work with Android phones as long as that VR Headset supports a screen size that your phone has.

The P2 from Dodo Case is a great starting VR Headset. It's currently at $18. I love it. As the market sits currently, there is no reason to purchase a $100+ VR Headset. The support is not all there, and the VR apps are just beginning to grow. I'd say purchase a cheap cardboard VR Headset so you can test it out, and later, once more support and more demanding applications are made, then purchase a real VR headset. It's been reported that Google themselves will create a more sophisticated VR Headset, and with LG's, HTC's, Sony's, Samsung's respective headsets, will create a hopefully amazing and demanding market for VR.

the most reasonable ones ive seen were destek and vr box. there about 25 dollars and look to be pretty comfortable

I really like the design of this one.
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B01B4DK0WO?m=A28UPC11K5E82V&ref_=v_sp_widget_detail_page
Pleasing to the eye and looks comfortable.

I am using google cardboard v2, very interesting project, and its good to get familiar with VR world.

Using the ViewMaster, got them for $15 from amazon warehouse. This phone just fits without much wiggle room but it fits. They feel very solid and my kids love them.

I have the FreeFly VR and that really has been very good.

currently i use a homido. the adjustability is ok since you can swap the lenses out easilly for near/far sighted. the main difference between them function wise is some allow for pupillary distance and focal length adjustments *look for dials on the side and top* and optics. the zeiss headset has a very high quality optics set. but you can get by with a cheaper one with a few mods very easilly. *you may have to custom make a headband or padding so you can wear it continuousely.
An option i would look into is a bluetooth controller. can get one for a couple bucks and will save you a lot of headaches from having to take the phone out of the headset to start an app or something.

I got a WeAreVR headset from amazon! Can't expect Gear VR quality from a 30 dollar headset but it ain't to bad for an early experience. Not really sure of too many worthwhile VR experiences yet outside of the big money ones, but as a cheap headset for youtube videos occasionally it's not half bad.

Any updated recommendations for VR headsets for my Moto X pure? I'm in the market. Thx!

I got fiit VR and it's pretty good imo

Anyone know if you can use the netflix VR app with moto x pure and a headset? I think i saw its only supported by the daydream product line?

I like a lot the BOBOVR Z4, a little pricier than the usual 18$ Chinese headset, but it has a good built and lens quality

I am using One Plus headset its pretty decent for the price.

Zeiss One plus.
Sorry to dredge up a slightly dead thread.. But..
Supposedly Zeiss are going to release a kit, which lets you connect the Zeiss VR One Plus to your computer, so the headset functions more as a Rift HMD, which will also allow compatibility with Steam VR.
This sounds pretty nice, since the VR One Plus, supposedly does not need any adjustments to lenses (I am constantly fidgeting with my 20€ china headset, and never getting a great image) and also the high resolution on the X-Style should make for decent sharpness.
And.. Supposedly a set with the VR One Plus and the connection kit, should cost about 150$, which isn't too bad, if it works.
Obviously still needs to be released, reviewed and available near me.. But I am a bit excited.
Question though.. The Seizz VR One Plus website, states that it works with phones up to 5.5", and the X-style/pure is 5,7".. It has a fairly small bezel, but still.. Anyone have any experience with this headset ?
Thank in advance.
(Edit.. What the hell.. 150$ in first article.. Next article states about 200€... That EU tax hits hard sometimes..)

I need a new Headset for my 6p

I left my iPhone 6+ for the nexus (don't judge from my past indiscretion lol)
The apple ear buds were quite nice.. They were more than adequate. I have an old nexus pair but they sound like crap all tinny and the buttons do not work.
So, here is what I am looking for and hoping someone can help me before I have to travel with these nexus buds.
Wired headset with mic. Optional that there are buttons to control the volume.
Thanks

Xiaomi Hybrid! Great quality for the price. The sound clear with a good bass. Super confortable also. And better of all, all keys work with 6P.

Highly recommended, simply the best you can if you don't want to spend a lot more.

If you don't want the silicone bits in your ear the Degauss Labs Pocket Couture headphones are great. The sound quality isn't as good as their fully in ear headphones like the Noirs etc but I have heard far worse. The buttons work fine provided you get the Android version.

Disclaimer: The ones with 3 button controls - I have no clue if all of the buttons work with the 6P. I'm making recommendations based on products I've had some kind of experience with, and I tend to prioritize audio and build quality over smartphone compatibility. All of the 1 buttons earphones should work fine.

Guys, can you confirm that all three buttons work for sure because my Mi3 piston earphones doesn't quite work well. The volume down button and the mic don't seem to work. Works fine with my old Nexus 5 though.

Yes all three are working! I want to buy the piston, but after I reading that the buttons don't work and with hybrid are working, I just buy the hybrid and it was an excellent deal.

wow!! I just checked and saw all these replies. Thank you all so very much. I decided to try the Xiaomi Mi Hybrid's. I will post my thoughts mid next week for sure.

I have had these over a year now and are much better than anything i have used in the past. https://www.jays.se/products/a-jays-five/
The Jays app allows you to customize the buttons and the buds are nice and comfortable.
I have been caught in the rain more than a few times with them and they seem very durable.

I went with the xiaomi and tbh I love them. They feel like earbuds and sound amazing.

I've got the Xiaomi Pistons 3 but the buttons don't work. So I'm ordering the Xiaomi Hybrids.

I certainly couldn't find anything else without the silicone tips and Android controls built in. There are a few Bluetooth options which fit the bill although these are a lot more costly/bulky.

Hi,
Thank you for sharing your experience Actually a friend of mine ordered the MI VR Headset to try it with the mix (Regardless the Warnings of some other sites).
I dont think it will fit in there also.
On the other side, there are plenty of VR Headsets out there, i cant believe the MI MIX can´t fit in one of those !
Maybe there is someone here on XDA who can try some others

Now, the resolution is something that made this phone extra appealing to me (fps, fps, fps). But to cut that in half can't be good.

I had this one already, and I modified it to fit my Mi Mix. There is a spring loaded clip that I simply took 4 screws out to remove, and the Mix fit into the cartridge, albeit a bit loose. The headset came with adhesive foam padding, so I just stuck some in there, and Voila! A headset that works pretty darn well with the Mix.
I bought mine off the shelf at Walgreens for $20.00.
