I know that the iPhone headsets do not work (aside from just as headphones) with our phones. What I want to know is if there is a cheapish wired solution that does.
I don't care as much about things like volume control (would be nice) or answer/exit buttons. I will have complete access to the phone when using this (BT in my car, so don't need it there). Really I want this so I can have meetings/conference calls on my phone, still be able to work on the keyboard, and have the phone plugged in.
I would prefer something that would double as a pair of headphones, but that's not as important either. Just looking for suggestions.
Klipsch s4i. Supposed to be one of the best headphones for under $100. It had a mic and 3 button control (it says for apple products)
Mic will still work....see xda thread below. 1st link is to amazon. Everyone has their own ideas on what cheap is . Set a specific price range if you are looking for something not as pricey. That price is great for the headphones alone and even better with call support.

I've seen multiple reports on those ones. I may have to check them out. I thought that my local Costco had them, but it turns out that the pack I thought of was actually from Scosche (http://www.costco.com/Scosche-2-Pack-Headphones-w-Mic.product.100022924.html), though they say specifically that they work with Android phones.
I'm not picky about sound quality other than voice. These aren't going to take the place of my good headphones (Beyerdynamic DT-770) for the most part; but I also don't want something that's going to fall apart the first time I take them out of my pocket (assuming I travel with them, that is).
Just buy the SGH-I987 (Samsung Captivate) headset off ebay. I been using those ever since 2010.
Headsets made for the Galaxy Tab series work with the S2. I got one fom ebay for around $10.
I use a pair of Skullcandy Ink'd earbuds with an inline button/mic. They were like $15 at the local grocery store and work fairly well for day-to-day use. However, I have noticed that they're a little quiet when I'm trying to call people.
Hi,
Are some of you using a Stereo Bluetooth Headset Headphone with Caller ID Display?
I'll like to use my Note 8 as primary phone (answer and make calls) but using a Headset and if it's also able to manage my music so much better.
Best Regards,
Javier

I'm assuming you mean the type where the display is on a separate piece that you can clip to your shirt. That works well, but there are some i've seen (not recently) that have the display on the actual earpiece which means if you are wearing it and a call comes in, you won't know who's calling without some voice caller id or pulling the headset off your head and looking at it (or looking at your phone, in which case the whole point is moot).
I used to think this was a good way to go, but instead just went with a smartwatch when they started to become available, as the watch can show you the caller ID and lets you use any bluetooth headset to talk on the call that you'd like.
I'm using the Metawatch Frame, but I also am waiting on my white Pebble to finally ship. I set caller ID and texts to come to my watch.

I use a Pebble and Jabra Sport together (or sometimes just the phone hooked to my stereo) to listen to music on the phone wirelessly. The Jabra controls volume and the Pebble displays the songs and can skip forward a track or back. Both can pause/play. You still get notifications on your watch no need to touch the phone. Great combo!
Edit: I'm not sure about the Jabra Sport handling calls simultaneously with music. I think you would need a more up to date bluetooth headset, so check that it can connect to multiple devices simultaneously and can handle both music and phone calls. I think the Jabra Sport can handle music OR phone calls over bluetooth, but not both. I haven't tested this, but when I place a check mark in phone audio in the bluetooth Jabra settings, it switches music play to the phone from the headset. (?)

I purchased a Sony Wireless Headset Pro (Lite Version). The MW1 is way overpriced, but I was so obsessed with trying different bluetooth dongles/adapters, that I had to give it a shot. Sony just released a newer stereo bluetooth recently, but I got a decent deal $80 (retail is $120). Contrary to what many of the reviews say, lots of the apps actually do work, but it's very very quirky. Caller ID display, as well as the other apps do the job that I need them to (when they are actually working properly). Main reason I got this is for daily use, while at work or on the go on the weekends.

At the end I bought the MW1 and I works very well, but the software has a lot of problems and It makes the tablet very slow.

Yup...lol. When I first got it, I got pissed cuz it automatically started updating once I downloaded the app. Then it was in an update loop, so I had to update through my work cpu. Really frustrating. Overall, I have been happy enough not to return. Just wouldn't recommend to anybody looking for the best bang for the buck.

What's the best headset with caller ID.
I know people worry about having to look at headset while it's on head. ... but my plan would be too only put this on the head when you have a call.

I should have also mentioned that in my research of this also realized that a bluetooth headset with an lcd display would either end up being so big in order to accommodate seeing the Caller ID easily and quickly or to get a small size, the headset LCD would be so small that you would have to waste precious time for enough of the caller info to scroll across the screen when you were getting a call AND THEN struggle to put on your ear in time to catch the call. that's usually too much time to pass so call is either going to voicemail or the dialer will hang up. Or you end up having an LCD display with texts so small in order to fit more info that it's very hard to read.
Good luck in finding a good model, if after finding this out you still believe that this is your best option though.

That's useful to know.
I don't mind a big display as I would only put next to my head when I want to call or receive call.
Not sure there is anything though.
In an ideal world the smart watch would be perfect for this with bone conducting earpieces always set behind the ears.
Don't know why anyone hasn't thought of that before.
Talk to the wrist but listen with bone conduction.

I have a Note 3 but didn't go for a Gear smart watch because I don't see talking to the wrist for calls as practical for my use. I do want a watch that has a mic for voice command, though.
Let us know if you find something good for your use. If you ultimately can't find a suitable model I would recommend that you consider the smart watch for your notifications once you find one that fits your style. It really is a liberating experience.
I usually use an LG tone headset which hangs around your neck when you're not using it, but in a way that is pretty stealth under a shirt collar. When I get a call I look down at the watch and if it's a call i want to take, I just remove an ear bud from the holder around my neck and put it in my ear.

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

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..)
Anyone know if there are any instructions or videos available showing how to replace the speaker in the S2 Classic? I have looked everywhere and can't seam to find anything for the S2 Classic.
I used this watch with the note 7, but ended up having to get the LG V20 when Samsung had explosion issues with the note 7. The first time I connected and received a notification tone using the V20, the tone was extremely loud for some reason and now my speaker sound is distorted.
My gear s2 classic doesn't have a speaker.
Classic only vibrates for notifications no sound

So sammy has said note 10+ wont be working with their VR headsets and they didn't say if they had any plans of making a headset to fit the note 10+.
There are many third party headsets on the market and I was wondering if anyone knows if there is a headset on the market that will fit a note 10+ ?
Might be to early to ask but maybe someone has already been looking based on the measurement of the phone.
Anyways if someone in the future gets a headset that works with note 10+ then please share it with the rest of us.
Size-wise, you should be able to cram it into the Gear VR. It's the same size as the Note9.

I believe the only headset that fits with the note 9 is the 235.
I am in the process of ordering that one for my note 9 as I am currently using a personally modified vr headset for the note 7 lol.
I had to cut so much plastic off and grindied the grapping hooks so now it just a matter of time before it breaks.
I'll give it a try when I get both phone and headset.
But just from all the sites that talked about this said none of Sammy's vr would fit the note so I automatically assumed it might be a tad bit to big. I just hope u r right.
Gear VR no more
