I was thinking about getting Bluetooth Stereo headset for my Fuze
Plantronics Voyager 855 is the headset I was thinking about.
Anyone have any troubles with this or even have it?
Thanks
I cant answer anything about that one, but I can tell you I love my Motorolla S9 for headphones, though I rarely use it for calls. I also have a BT8010 which is a fantastic headset, but when adding the stereo bud it feels wierd because you've got what feels like two headsets on instead of headphones.
I use the Motorola S705. I like it because I can use my own headphones. It also has FM radio, but we don't need that!
I have the 855 and have been using it with my Samsung P2 mp3 player and now my Fuze for quite awhile now. The battery life is pretty good, i've used it to snowboard in tahoe in cold temps and under those conditions i get about about 6 hours of continuous play time.
The audio quality is very good provided you can keep it in your ear. Depending on the shape / size of your ear the earhook may not be as effective as it should be, and the weight of the earpiece plus the fact that the earbuds are round instead of an ergonomic design means that its bound to try to point down then ultimately fall out of your ears.
The stereo hook fits in the headset part well, and works both ways fine as advertised. A word of caution though, when you're done listening, be sure to take the hook back out before putting it in your pocket or the pouch. The earhook's clip is pretty thin and i have snapped it clean off before while it was in my pocket, prompting a 15 dollar replacement stereo earhook.
The call quality though leaves a bit to be desired. People on the other end can hear background noise from my end, and i can hear my surroundings trough the earbuds pretty well also. I don't use it often for calls, but when I do it works alright or short calls. I actually keep a jawbone 2 in my car in case i expect to be on a long call.
Overall, aside from the fitment issues for me personally, i'm very satisfied with the 855. However if you think you may be i the market for a headphone style as opposed to the earbud style, I've heard good reviews for the Motorokr S305's, and i'm gonna pick up a pair soon to try them out as earbud headphones are sometimes really finicky about your ear in terms of fitment.
I'm finding the headphones included with the Samsung Galaxy S to be pretty useless. They do not stay in my ears and was wondering if anyone else had this problem? Could just be me with dodgy shaped ears but I've never had a problem with any other in-ear headphones. The build quality, sound quality and other aspects of the headphone seem great (although the in line controls seem very limited) so it's a shame that they don't stay in my ears.
If anyone knows of a good 3rd party alternative (possibly even a Bluetooth stereo set) then do reply back with details.
TIA
The earphones seem fine to me, the rubber bits are a little bigger than what im used to with inear earphones (normally i go with the small ones). However i find them to be fine for me, and the sound quality is great.
I am using another headphone instead of supplied one. Anyway original one can answer calls but can't control volume / music player etc. so a little disappointed and now looking for Stereo Bluetooth headset.
Buy a pack of Sennheiser in-ear replacement rubber thingo's. They go for around $5. Fits perfectly. Apart from that, the originals sound like crap but are good as freebies.

It's not just you. They pop out of my ears as well - very irritating indeed. I don't use the headphones often, but when I do I just use my iPhone or PSP ones (for listening to music, not calls etc).
/PS: Not sure if these work as an antenna for the FM radio thingy though...
Have you ever tried apple headphones worst I've ever tried doesn't fit well and you can hear everything around you for a device that you paid more than any other ..... Those are useless not the SGS ones that are good in-ear and they stay in my ears but yes I regret a bit that they don't have a previous-next song like the apple one (only good thing about those)

I think it's your ears m8. Mine fit great.
I would've liked to have a clip to clip to my clothes so they dont fall off but..
Yea sound quality is very good aswell!
For those looking for BT stereo headphones, I've been using the Plantronics/Altec Lansing Backbeat 903's for almost a year now, and I love 'em. I honestly haven't tried them with the SGS, but they've worked beautifully with every phone, pc, and ps3 I've paired them with.
I've found something like that: I can't post outside links
well it's AIAIAI TRACKS HEADSET those are hedphones with mic.
I bought Thomson ultra comfort HED17 ear pads and now stoc earbuds don't fall off.

Only thing about the 903, dont use them for workouts if your sweating... I did, and they broke down in 2 days ....
Personaly I'm looking for 1 ear solutions that also can receive media output from SGS.
Maybe u'd like Jabra Stone.
Personally I am using a Samsung 3.5mm adapter, that has a multifunctional button (play/pause/take or end call) into which i plug my bang&olufsen earphones.. it's working great and the good part is that you can use whatever earphones you like
edit:
oh also i think the original sgs headphones suck donkeyballs... the sound quality is bad, it's inear (which is pretty unhygenic/unhealthy), cable is about 20cm too short for someone like me, the rubber things are not very firmly attached and i almost lost them like 10 times in 2 weeks..
thats why i threw away those things and got myself some nice headphones+that extension cord/remote control/whatever thingy
how do you find SQ compared to an iPhone?
My SGS is practical unlistenable with good stereo headphones due to strong hiss in the background, especially when you pause a track, its less noticable on stock headphones,
I thought it was a general issue, but probably its only me phone/firmware..
Just bought Motorola HT-820 Stereo Bluetooth headset for 28$. Sound quality is average but full control over music player. Play/pause, next, fw, vol +- and telephone conversations. Great for outside during cold days.
fAtaXe, i'm looking for that kind of adaptar, which one is yours?
think the stock samsung headphones are very disappointing in terms of fit in the ear. It seems they have only catered for an 'average' ear size.
I would have prefered ipod style headphones with a mic...i wear the samsungs and they just fall out embarrassingly when using them for hands free conversations.
I am currently using my old nokia 5800 headphones and mic although the mic isn't as sensitive enough so callers cant hear me as loud as they would like to.
Would generic ones work with this phone?
I'm just trying the phone with my Sennheiser HD 650,
to my surprise they rock, though are 300ohm headphones,
Galaxy s deserve some respect in HP amplifie area..

I am looking at a set of Skull Candy Mic'd headsets, with mic of course for my I9000M. However, when I plugged them in to try them, I seem to have only gotten 1 track of audio and no headset control to start or pause music.
I have not been able to see if the mic works in call or not however that is a moot point if they dont work for music.
Any way to change settings to accommodate these earbuds or a good decent set of inline mic headphones that do work with the SGS? I keep seeing posts about a nokia headset, but I have no idea how I would get them or if the quality is any good.
The Skull candy's fit freaking amazingly tho so it would be great if I could get these ones to work somehow.
My roommate (who has SGS also) bought Wooden Skull Candy's headsets with mic, but they didn't work properly (sound was horrible - like randomly some channels were muting), the sound was only normal if you pressed the button on the wire and kept it pressed, so be careful buying those, definitely try them before buying.
He changed them for those without mic, which work okay.
I think it has to do with pin arrangement on the 3,5 jack on SGS (think it's the same as Nokia's).
edit: dammit I didn't read well, you bought them already
Most headphones with mics are wired for the iPhone 3.5mm plug, which is slightly different from the SGS and Nokia plugs. You need to find an adapter, either standalone or with some headphones. I got mine as part of my set of UrbanEars Medis (quite good headphones, even more so when you consider the price of a standalone adapter).
Hi! I would like to ask if you know a decent brand of Bluetooth Headset that I can use for my S5 particularly for VOIP Calls like that in the Facebook Messenger and Yahoo Messenger. Though the sound & call quality with the stock wired headset is ok, but I find the wire a bit of a problem. I need something that I can make calls, great sound quality during conversation, sensitive mic, while at the same time I can hear all of the outside noise with the other ear.
I previously bought a set of Plantronics before with my S2, but I find that the phone is picky with BT Headsets. I hope that is not the case with the Galaxy S5, and if so, a brand that is 100% compatible with it.
Many Thanks!
I use jaybird bluebuds. Very good. Facebook messenger doesn't allow Bluetooth headset for calls unfortunately.
Sony sbh-80 besteht choice !!

Hi,I'm also interested in buying a bluetooth headset. Thought I'd give you some background on my usage scenario.
1) I use to have a bluedio i4s clipper style headset. Really enjoyed using that. I liked that it was just a receiver so you could connect anything to it like other head phones or even speaker and these automatically became bluetooth audio.
2) I really liked the fact that I could switch headset ear pieces and invest in better ones. I'd keep the bluedio & earpiece around my neck all the time especially while communting & when I got home I'd just detach the bludedio receiver & connect it to my home stereo.
3) unfortunately, the receiver croaked a few months ago. I think it shorted after being worn by me all the time especially while commuting. The sweat & humidity might have shorted out the circuit board. Now I want a new one to replace it but these are my concerns.
I can either:
A) get the exact same model (just cover it up in cloth maybe to absorb moisture?) or get similar "clip on style receivers" (like the one from sony).
B) or get those sports bluetooth headsets that are sweat proof. I really like this one particular brand by playground. It's really thin (looks like regular earbuds) but is bluetooth 4.0 w/ nfc plus the ear pieces have magnets so you can "clasp them together" around your neck like a necklace when not in your ear. You can basically wear it all day ready for immediate use. What I will miss from my old set up will the ability yo re-attach to other earplugs & speakers.
My question is do you think that the "sweat proofing" of these dedicated "sports bluetooth" headsets are really worth getting as they will likely last longer than the clip on types? The clip on types are prone to short out I think if they're always worn under your shirt (w/c is how I wear them) because of sweat and body humidity. Any advice would be mort welcome. Tnx.
Hi,
Personnally, I bought the Samsung Circle which is pretty convenient to wear around your neck. I use it when walking downtown mainly (both for listening to music and for calls). However, the earplugs don't stay firmly inside the ears so I bought another set of bluetooth earplugs for whren I go running. I got the MPOW Swift bluetooth headphone and I'm quite satisfied of this product (you can run without fearing it falling off your ear).
Hope this helps.
using era by jawbone and xiaomi bt headset
Hello
I would like to know which is the Best Bluethooth headset
with Noice Cancellation
1) Plantronics Voyager Edge
2) Plantronics Voyager Legend
3) Jabra Stealth
4) Jabra Storm
5) BlueAnt Q3 Premium Smartphone Earpiece
6) Jawbone Era
If there is a another better headset
Please let me know
Sennheiser Presence
I use my Plantronics BackBeat Pro headphones. Noise cancellation and 24 hours battery life, sensors that stop music when you remove them from your head and restart when put back on plus lots more stuff. And I like their fun sound.
The Storm seems to have mixed reviews at Amazon UK and Germany but the Stealth has mostly good reviews. I use the Legend and can recommend it but have not compared it to others.
I have 2 I use everyday.
1. LG Tones Infinim
2 Voyager Edge.
The Edge also stops playback when removed from the ear. Good noise cancelation.
I just love the LG's, they are always around my neck. The ear piece cords retract neatly into the headset. Music and calls sound great, easy controls and comfortable.

Thanks Bro
I think Voyager Edge seems a good choice
its surprising no comments on BlueAnt
Jabra Stealth
The Stealth is a great head set. Great noise cancellation, loud clear volume, announces the callers name, answers your calls with your voice and it has the best Google Now intergration of any headset that I have ever owned. I have the Jawbone Era and the Stealth is unequivocally a better headset.
Beats Studio Wireless
I been using the for some time. I can be outside in the wind without any issues talking on the phone. There are times were the headset will disconnect randomly. If there is no sound (music or video) the noise cancellation noise can very loud. Almost like if you were in a small air plane. There is no way to turn off noise cancellation without putting mute on. Battery can last over eight plus hours straight use. Sad part you can used it wired but head phones needs power to work. Great head phones a little over priced. I wish they didn't take away navigation buttons found on gen one.
Bose bluetooth very good

So the Voyager Edge has Google Now integration only in the US and EA regions. What's with that?
I can't understand why something I was regularly doing on Windows Mobile 5.0 is so fkn difficult for these guys. (and I mean Voice Command rather than Google Now, for any pedants out there)
