Which bluetooth headsets work with the Optimus One?

I'm not sure which headset to buy since my Nokia bt-104 doesnt detect the phone...

I have this one http://www.jabra.com/Sites/Mobile/UK-UK/Products/Pages/JabraCLIPPER.aspx
works like a charm!!

I have successfully used over the years a Nokia BH-600 bluetooth headset with various phones (Sony Ericsson, Nokia, iPhone) and now with the Optimus One. Very good sound quality (both receiving and transmitting), long stand-by and talk time, perfect pairing with all the phones I mentioned above. It gets a bit uncomfortable if you wear it for extended periods of time - which you may since it's so light that you forget you're wearing it. 4+ years of usage and still going strong.

Mine BH-503 work perfect on P500. Maybe the sound is set to 0 on the phone or on the heatset? Try putting on some volume on both of them

Nokia BH-101 works perfectly on my LG P500.

I am using the Dell BH200 wireless stereo headset (with mic) and its working fine.. i am also able to use the controls present in the headset to answer, forward songs, inc/dec vol etc

I'm using a Nokia BH-200 without problems. It's a very confortable headset

Wich Rom do you use?

nokia bh-503 perfect!

I bought the BH-503 last week. The sound was awesome, with every phone except my O1 . There was like a fuzzy sound in the background :/ Does anyone know how to eliminate this? I sold the headset to my friend.

I use Noka bh-604 with p500. Works without problem.

I have one question to those who bought their Bluetooth headphones for music. How do they compare in terms of sound quality to a pair of in-ear headphones? I'm asking because I'm aware that the P500 is a little noisy when using internal ones comparing to a dedicated mp3 player, such as Samsung P3 and I'm curious about either the noise on BT headphones or other sound issues with those. Is the frequency response as it should etc etc?
Thanks.

Personally, I feel that the noise is even worse when being used through a bluetooth headset. I tried some wired Philips headphones which sound great on my iPod, but they feel kind of slightly "screechy" with my O1.

Any wireless device is normally more noisy than the wired equivalent.
I am using a s9-hd copycat from dealextreme and works well.

I'm using quite old SonyEricsson HBH-DS205 from times I used to have SE G900 and to be honest I'm more than surprised that this headset still works flawlessly.

Stereo bluetooth for music & occasional calls

I don't want to spend more than $50 (Rs. 2500). I came accross Sony MW600 and Samsung HS3000. Desire S doesn't have APT-X codec (HS3000's main strengths). Even if I upgrade to another phone, I will soon root and use custom rom which will remove that advantage since APT-X is proprietary. How both these devices compare with Desire S ? I am planning to use my own headphone instead of stock headphone. Or is there any other better suited ?

I'm currently using (listening to music) my Nokia Stereo Bluetooth Headset BH-503. I also use it for calls too. No problems here. my other one is a Nokia Stereo Bluetooth Headset BH-505 lying on the table and that one works perfectly as well.

I also came across SAMSUNG HM3700 & Samsung WEP870. They can be used as a standard bluetooth headset over the ear or could just plugin headsets to listen to music. Which of these are better ? Or is there anything similar and better out there ?

Im using mw600. It works good but doesnt show trackID ON STOCK rom & cant fast forwoard.

Using Nokia BH504 bluetooth headset and very happy with it. Mostly listening to music while running or in the gym. Very good build quality, and although i tend to sweat a lot while running, everything is working. Using it for almost two years now.

Motorola aptX Bluetooth Codec

I was researching bluetooth receivers for my home stereo and came across ones touting aptX audio codec for hi-fidelity sound over bluetooth. I then wondered if my RMHD was capable of it. I did not see it listed in the specs, but I went to csr's website and it is listed as having aptx codec. http://www.csr.com/technology-solutions/av/audio-products-powered-by-csr-aptx/smartphone
I have been avoiding bluetooth audio because of the loss of audio quality. Does anyone have experience with aptX? Is it as good as hardwired as it claims to be?

Bluetooth audio streaming quality poor?

So i noticed a severe decline in the music quality after i switched from my Z3 compact. Using Poweramp with all the EQ's disabled/flat (and all the samsung eq's off), i get constant minor treble crackling. Full volume and even half volume on the phone. It's really annoying. I have certain songs on my computer and Z3 that i've played so much that i know exactly how they should sound, and the S7 just makes it sound like ****. Has anybody else had this issue?

Do you have any other bluetooth devices connected to your S7, such as a Fitbit or Android Wear watch?

I'm using BT streaming to both my Sennheiser headphones and to my car, and have not noticed any worse sound quality compared to my previous S5.

I suffer with the same issue on my S6 and was hoping they'd fix it on the S7 but guess they don't care.
Thread about it for the S6: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s6/help/poor-bluetooth-audio-quality-t3093236
TL;DR, If you disconnect the Pebble your bluetooth audio quality should be good.

Unfortunately, my car (100% of my use for bluetooth audio) does not use aptX so it sounds awful unless I disconnect my watch.

I also use two headphones that do not have aptX, but they sound perfect too.

after tuning off the bluetooth to my pebble and rebooting the phone, the sound came out fine through my ford sync stereo. i might as well use an aux cable to remedy this $700 phone's issue.

FWIW, there are two less intense ways to "refresh" the bluetooth audio connection:
1) Toggle the phone's bluetooth off and on.
2) (New to Marshmallow touchwiz) Bring down the notifications and you'll see "Audio path" on the right. Switch it and switch it back to the bluetooth output.

Thanks for the info everyone. I just upgraded from the s5 to the s7 and noticed a significant degrade in blue tooth audio streaming with my Ford sync system. Really upset me so a little Google search and discover.my moto 360 watch is the culprit. After I disconnect it my sound quality goes back to normal. Certainly a pain but at least it's resolved.

I have 2016 Lexus ES350 and I have recently started using Garmin Vivoactive HR+ fitness tracker that is connected via Bluetooth to my Samsung Galaxy S7. The bluetooth streaming quality dropped significantly. All music sounds flat even when the music player (Amazon Music) is set to highest quality. In rock music I barely hear hihats. High frequencies are distorted.
Are we supposed to go back to the auxiliary audio input jack again? What's up with this?

Thats because sony always use high quailty DAC's and sammy doesn't. same reason why sammy cant play high res audio.

I'm using S7 edge with viper4android and connect to my car bose system the sound looks amazing. ALso I use it with a audio-technica mx-50 and portable amplifier. with bluetooth I don't notice any issue, because mainly I connect to amplified sources. <With direct connection to the mx50 headphones definitly could be better, but I wouldn't say is really bad. I use flac and sometimes spotify in extreme quality.

..

Hi the same here, i had a HTC onex/onex+ and the last a LG G3 , the audio was fine when streaming mp3's from my phone, now with my brand new Galaxy S7,
there's so much distorsion that it's not earable, my car is Lexus CT200h(no navigation screen panasonic audio) , worse with waze or google maps i cant anymore ear vocal instructions for navigation except when streaming audio or during a phone call , not anymore when listening a cd in the carplayer as it used to be with all previous 3 phones
ps: i think there should be a "bluetooth" section in the real life thread , i dont know who is in charge of that sections,
i will put 1 star to bluetooth and audio listening and 1 star for audio when recording videos in Gigs i wouldnt buy the S7 if i knew that before

Very bad sound quality via earphones

Hi, I using Mix 2s and the quality of sound on earphones is quite a disaster.
Sound is very grainy and there is a lot of static noise in some songs. I am using Spotify Premium with very high-quality settings and the sound on wireless and wired earphones is the same - means very bad. So, it’s not just bad piece of set.
I was blaming the audio codec on Bluetooth as my BT earphones should be able to use ACC codec, but there is just SBC available in developer option. I heard the BT codec issue in last Global MIUI I am using global 10.2.2) not allowing to use any codec outside SBC, but the sound is the same on wired earphones.
Does anyone experience the same issue with sound quality?

I have no issues on LineageOS (wired and BT LDAC).

I am using 10.2.2 stable too and i do not have any troubles with sound quality. Using spotify, sound is fine with Bluetooth and wired phones.

Thank you, and are you able to connect to BT headseat with any other codec then SBC? I am able to change that in developer option but it always go back to default after leaving menu.

Have tried Mix2s with 3 different phones at home on BT and headset. Samsung A8, Honor 8 Pro and iPhone 6s and most ****ty sound by class is from Xiaomi, which makes me very sad as this is my daily driver... will try MIUI EU if this makes any difference or sell my Xiaomi device.

I come from a redmi note 4X and dont notice any problems with it. I have a brainwavz BLU200, which supports aptx.
Maybe the phone is recognizing the headphones as a headset (for calls which utterly kills the sound quality).

Thank you, but this is not the case. The sound is bad also on wired headphones. Sound is flat, lot of static noise, missing any stage. By class worst sound from 4 phones I can find at home. I will try different USB C to 3.5 mm adapter if helps.

Ouch, I have not tried the usb adapter with my wired headphones. I'm scared to try now (ignorance is bliss?).

My LDAC headphones work well. I am afraid there's something wrong with your device and I'd recommend to have it repaired.

Just tested the wired audio with my Brainwavz HM5 and i found it awesome. Also i have searched a bit on the net and seems that the mi mix 2s outputs analog over the USB-C adapter. The sounds come from the DAC on the SoC (SD845) which seems to be a quite nice DAC (https://semiaccurate.com/2017/12/19/qualcomm-ups-audio-ante-snapdragon-845/) to be a cellphone.
Try wiping and flashing a stock rom. If that dont fix it, I suspect that your case is a hardware problem.
And last but not less important, i'm not an audiophile so maybe what i hear good is subpar to you, but if the sound would be as bad, way more people would have complained by now.

Thank you. I have tried different USB-C to 3,5mm adapter then standard Xiaomi one and grain is about 50% less so positive news here, but sound is still flat and dont have any sound stage. May be I am to picky and got luck with my previous phones. I have ordered external DAC adapter to solve this problem as on the other hand this is only problem I have with the phone.

I one of my friends found the core of the problem. He sad to have iPhone 7 that sounds ****ty as well. He had found out after about year of searching and two sets of headphones that somewhere in some different settings was set MONO sound only. My problem was same and very stupid! For my IQ deffence I don't know why this settings is not located in sound section. So problem solved and thank everybody for help! For anyone having this issue you can deactivate Mono sound in Settings -> Additional Settings -> Accessibility -> Turn off "Mono Audio"
