Hi, I was wondering if any of you guys use a bluetooth stereo headset for your G2's because I've been looking for a certain kind. I'm looking for one that is wireless(duh) and it connected by the buds with a wire that's small and similar to the one that came with our phones. So pretty much our stock headphones, just without the cord connecting to the phone. I saw one the other day on a website but I can't find it at all.
Thanks for your time

Check out the Sony's MW600, it does the job quite well for me
It has got some tiny limitations, but its really good, for its price
Not sure if how it will perform with G2, but on DZ is soooooooo cool

I have had great success with Altec Lansing Backbeat 903 and they can be had fairly cheaply. While mine are 1+ years old, Plantronics offers an updated BackBeat 903+. Altec Lansing is owned by Plantronics or vice versa.

I second that recommendation. Those are great headphones especially for working out. If you don't really need bluetooth I've gone to the zagg smartbuds after getting tired of charging my backbeats and my phone from constant Bluetooth use. These just stay around my neck all day and offer everything the backbeats do, just not wireless and better sound quality.
I'm waiting on Bluetooth 3.0 to really make Bluetooth headphones really take off, with better performance overall (sound quality, outdoor performance, and 3.0 is a higher number than 2.1 duh). Have trouble at times outdoors (nothing to bounce off of). So my recommendation is the backbeats or the Cardozo s2's I believe if you aren't married to that form factor.

dont get the zagg smartbuds.... they are a ripoff. just like the rest of their products.
the best buds under $100 are the klipsch image s4's
I use Motorola s305
Got em off of amazon for less that $35 and they are very nice...

I actually use a Sony Bluetooth unit that has a standard 1/8" jack and plug my Shure's into that. The little controllers are hard to find now as everyone seems to want to bundle their earphones in with them.

I just found this and it looks really nice, not so sure about the clip though, but I can adapt. It meets the requirements I was looking for. The bluetooth is actually in the small device and the headphones are interchangeable with any one with a 3.5mm jack. I hope that it would come with its own set of headphones because they look really short and that's what I'm looking for. I don't want the hassle of having to untangle headphones after every usage, so I think this might be what I'm looking for. Has anybody else tried this before? I also wonder if it's completely compatible with Android.

These are the MW600 that Wolek76 is talking about in his post above. They are known to work with the Desire Z though some functionality like trackId is not working. I should be getting these for my Desire Z today/tomorrow.
I have been to frys electronics and best buy, and have bought every single one they offer at least once.
Ive tryed at least 20+ and every single one cuts off very often if I am jogging and the phone is in my side pocket.
If anyone has any suggestions be my guest and lmk please haha. Maybe something that makes you hold your phone higher or closer to your ears so the bluetooth connection doesnt break so often.

Yes these are the MW600 which wolek76 recommends, and so do I. Been using them with my Nexus One and now Galaxy S, and love them. The ear buds are very comfortable and have great sound quality, and if you still dont like em you can use any 3.5mm headphones with the unit. You can save 3 devices to use the Bluetooth with (either phone OR your BT-enabled laptop), and switch between them with press of a button. Good battery life and and the controls work with alternative Android music applications like Poweramp as well as Google Listen.
The unit did get stuck on me 3-4 times during my 6-7 months of use, by stuck I mean nothing works and you have to wait till the battery drains and it shuts itself off lol. Its ridiculous that this thing doesnt have a Reset button.
Highly recommend this headset, and cant wait to start using it with my G2 when it arrives next week.

Yeah, didn't see his post, but yeah it looks really nice and I hope to buy it sometime before the year is over, just gotta stop spending so much on Christmas presents
hello everyone
just thought I'd put a link to another thread (used to be Desire Z only, before the merge), but thats where I've left the most information about this bluetooth stuff
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=831850&page=2
see if you find the info you need
if you need more just ask
I will answer every question - provided I now the answer/I have time

Another happy MW600 user
Hi all,
Just wanted to second wolek76's recommendation for the MW600. I've been using them with my Desire Z.
The performance of the bluetooth headset is excellent - especially you you replace the supplied earphones with your own favourites (Denon AH-751s for me )
Only downsides:
No contact name on display (though the callers phone number is displayed)
No track name on display
Other than that they are excellent.
Cheers
Ash

Have you guys used the headphones that came with the bluetooth set? Is the quality of it good, or does it not come with short corded headphones?
Merry xmass everyone
Yes, these come with in-ear buds with three different rubber sizes. Headphones themselves are on a short lead and asymmetric (so that the cable for one ear is shorter, and the other one goes behind the neck)
As someone mentioned earlier, these are removable, so you can use any earfones u wish.
Quality of sound is fine for me, although I'm no expert on that matter....

How would you say the headphones that come with the mw600 compare to the one that comes with the desire z? Better?
Definately better!!!
Original htc ones dont stay in my ears whatsoever. Maybe I got weird ears but never managed to to get any htc earphones make stay in my ears (s740, touchpro2, DZ).
the SE ones actually go 'into' your ear blocking any external noise. Im very happy with that solution, but I know it isnt to everybodys taste/preference.
btw. I got MW600 for my sister...
she's got SE X10 and wanted a FM radio....
will check if these work any better with Android on SE fone (track ID, caller ID)
merry x-mass
Well, even though mw600 and X10 are made by same manufacturer, there is still no caller ID, and no track ID.
This must be definitely android issue then.
Just hope that ginger update with its new 'BlueZ' will help, when it finally lands in our Desires...
Fingers crossed

Hello everyone,
i have a htc desire hd since 9 months and I have changed (freely from customer service) 3 time the headset. every time that an headset is broke, the microphone and the Control buttons stop working.
Has anyone had problems with the original headphones?
I'm thinking that it's a hardware problem on phone that broke the headset.What do you think about?
ps: sorry for the bad english
My stock headset is also broken after a few months use. Same problem as you described , microphone and buttons stop working. This is however expected, as the button works by shorting out the microphone. I don't think it's possible for the phone hardware to cause such damage. It would appear that the issue is caused by damaged wiring. I've been using a different headset for the past few months with no issues.

I've probably had about 4 replacements now as they keep breaking after about a month or so. Luckily they are cheap from amazon.

These headsets are just not so good, I have had 4 replacements to already and my DHD is already 11 months old. The replacements where free but when I called last week for a replacement they said: On accessory is only 6 months warranty, so now I just have to hope the stereo sound keeps working atleast.
The remote control still works to but often does not seem to respond so well. Its to bad there is not another headset like this from a better brand and also buying a new one would cost € 20 and its not worth if you ask me.
So I think it would be best to buy a bluetooth headset as any investment in a normal headset might not be worth it.
You can get 4-5 pound replacements on Amazon. They are exactly the same. Type in rce e160 on amazon

thank's for your answers.the original headset is definitively not good, i don't want to buy a new one every month.
someone could recommend me an in ear headset with remote control?
Hey guys!
So this is my first thread, apologies if I make any stupid mistakes.
Recently purchased the official earphones designed for the honor phone, here in China.
I was wondering if anyone can comment on the quality and their ability to respond as quickly and reliably as the iPhone earphones?
The reason why I moved to the official earphones was because I was having problems with the iPhone compatibility.
Thanks.

All I can say is I received the official Honor earbuds/earphones with my Honor 8 along with the protective case back in December.
In use they are well on par with most mainstream earphones. Having said this I'm using my Samsung Galaxy S7 earphone for daily use on my Honor 8 only because l bought them back in June and they do the job just fine, so my Honor earphones I have put away as a spare.
Yes there OK for voice calls, music and video audio..
I like them a lot, i use them on casual gaming too like CS:GO because they have a nice 3d sound. In long time using they dont hurt my ears like others and the overall quality is good.
