Which headset should i buy?

Friends,
Can anyone suggest which Bluetooth Stereo headset would be perfect for music and voice on VOX? I want to purchase one.
How about Jabra BT3030?
Thx

I use a Plantronics 590 for music and a set of Sony DRB22's for podcasts. The Sony ones fold up very nice and small, so I can stick them in a bag, the Plantronics ones have excellent bass and music quality. I'm looking to get a pair of Motorola S805's next.

Thx h4waii for the information. Did u ever get chance to use Jabra BT3030 also? or what are your views about this? i heard a lot about its excellent music and handling qualities. What do you suggest?

I don't use bud-style earphones, I prefer can/DJ style ones that.
Here's a review for you though, http://crackberry.com/review-jabra-bt3030-bluetooth-stereo-headset

i have been using the jabra BT3030 with my Vox over the past 10 months with no problems at all. Music quality is really good so are te controls.
I would suggest you to replace the headphone in this by a good quality one.

Where did you buy this from and for how much?

[Q] decent headphone with mic for desire hd

Hey guys, am bit confused last couple of days while deciding for a decent headphone. By decent, I mean in ear headphone with significant noise cancellation (dont want the disturb the person sitting next to me in train with my music play) and good quality mic for voice calls. I'm not interested in having remote in headphone for changing tracks/volume.
My budget is between 40-70 quid (£). Most of the earphones with mic advertised are for for iPhone and browsing through forums some have and haven't worked on HTC phones (especially mic).
1. Klipsch Image s4i - close to my budget, got some great reviews. but not officially supported for non-iphones
2. V-moda vibe duo - Love the chrome and vibrant red look. around 50 quid. mixed reviews. few says its great and some sites mention abt the build quality. again, if anyone using it, could you share your experience
3.bose mobile in-ear..arnd £89 but its more than 2 years old and they ahve an "improved" new version that costs around £120. way too expensive
any suggestion on good ones would be helpful.

I went for the Sennheiser Mm50ip: Iphone: Earphones.....got them from HMV for about £50. They are designed for the iphone but work on the desire and desire HD.
The mic works great, the sound is great and the answer and end button works. There are no music or volume controls but i have not found either to be a problem.
Oh and the Sennheiser's are great for music (i've bought a few different types but keep going back to them.)
Hope this helps!

[Q] bluetooth headphones

I'm conflicted on which bluetooth headphone to go with. I'm looking to spend less than $40 with good audio quality, comfort, and battery life. So far I'm debating between the motorola S305 and the rocketfish RF-MAB2. Anyone have experience with both of these? if so pros/cons? Thanks!

buy a samsung 3500. Find them online cheaper than retail. it is capable of playing youtube videos, music,etc. Great sound quality

He's talking about BT headphones... anyway,
I personally have both the Moto S9 and the Samsung WEP 870. I like the 870 because the buds that come with it are the sound isolating kinds and the sound quality is about 7.5/10, and that's pretty good considering its hard to find good quality stereo BT headphones...

thanks for the suggestions but i was looking to get the over the ear type (not the ones in ear since i plan to use them during running and i'd like to hear cars come up on me, feel safer than having the in ear plus i feel more comfortable wearing the over the ear too)

I bought the S305 when newegg had them on sale a few months back, 29.99 shipped. I love them, i use them all the time. I can be listening to music on my laptop while at work and if i get a call, it will switch over for me. I also use them when im working out, and they never move. Seem very comfortable to me, really good sound i think. I can get about 3 hours continuous use out of them. A couple days of sparatic on/off just watching videos at lunch or something.
Bonus: comes with a micro usb charger for them that just happens to fit my phone perfectly.

I have used the Motorola one and found it very uncomfortable.

Its more expensive then you wanted but it does allow you to use higher quality headphones or ones you already own.

[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.

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.

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?

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.

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.

Question The stereo speaker gyp- how to get around?

I'm sure I'm not the only one that upgraded to a new Motorola and discovered after-the-fact that they nixed the stereo speakers I was especially angry because the "Motorola Moto G Stylus" is listed everywhere as having stereo sound, but the 2021 version does not.
After it was delivered, my carrier and Motorola both basically told me thanks for your money, get lost.
The speaker on the 2021 is okay, though I had a Motorola Moto G 2nd Gen for almost a decade and was always proud of the fact that it had stereo, and certainly wanted it with the upgraded phone.
Aside from feeling I was deceived.... the speaker works except in games like Jackpot, where the sound most definitely only comes from one side of the phone, and it just ruins the experience.
I'm intrigued by one thing though- the 2nd earpiece speaker already on the Motorola, even in the 2021. Why can't that be turned on too? Surely that would make a difference, not true stereo like the older Motorola phones... but at least enough so some games don't sound so one-sided.
I believe people are calling the concept "Dolby Atmos Surround Sound", per an app I can't find a way to install......turning on the earpiece ALSO when playing videos and games (see video). But so far I haven't found a step-through for the Motorola Moto G Stylus 2021. Has anyone done this, and can they help?
I've found an app that will play music through the earpiece only, but no mod to turn on and use both speakers when playing media & games.

Use the Earpiece & Speaker Together for Surround Sound on Your Galaxy Note 3
Located at the bottom of the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 lies the speaker from which music, notifications, and most other audio comes from, which provides warm and clear sound when needed. When you need the audio to be louder, that's where third-party speakers come in handy, which you could have at...
galaxy-note-3.gadgethacks.com
Solution for the Galaxy Note 3 only.
bummer

Here's how to do it on the OnePlus 6.
I'm surprised nobody knows how to do this for a Motorola Stylus?
But surely.....

Galaxy S8 stereo mod instructions. I guess I just bought the wrong freaking phone :/
