What headset? - Touch GSM Accessories

What headset are you all using with your HC Touch?
Let us know what audio quality is like for handsfree phone function and listening to music/MP3s. Please also share your experiences in using the included HTC headset (which I think is appalling)

Had it two days - Sony DR-BT10CX Bluetooth stereo/handsfree - great for running and excellent sound quality for both calls and music.
Cheap too!
http://www.mymemory.co.uk/memory/Sony/DR-BT10CX/Bluetooth/Stereo/Headphones

That looks great.
Unfortunately I have already a great headset... with 3.5mm connector.
Is there any MiniUSB-to-3.5mm-adapter?
Thanks

Yes, but this is without microphone. Just for listening music.

Thanks, but the description says:
Description
Use this adaptor to convert the HTC Touch extUSB socket to support any 3.5mm stereo headphones. The adaptor also has a hangup/answer button for normal voice calls through a stereo headset.
So I think it has a button
Thats great

Jawbone headset is amazing
I have ordered one of these after hearing from many people just how good these are. I got mine from Expansys.co.uk

Man, those things look/sound badass...I might have to pick one of those up - I don't really have a quiet car, and I LOVE driving with the windows down! Hefty price tag on eBay though - pay to play though, right?

If you are looking at the DR-BT10CX, I suggest you get the DR-BT20NX instead because it got a remote for music - same earbuds and receiver essentially.

The HTC headset works fine for calling and music. For use in the car I have a jabra BT5020 and quality is good, auto-pair ofcourse.

I'm thinking of DIY-ing the usb to 3.5mm audio jack, does anyone have any idea how the usb connectors corresponed to the audio outputs? thanks!

Been shopping around now, since I saw that Jawbone...but I'm wondering...
Is there a Stereo Bluetooth headset with noise-canceling technology out there that anyone knows of???
I've been searching, but to no avail.

Motorola S9 for Stereo and Plantronics 665 for phone
If I am not listening to music I use the Plantronics 665. If I want to listen to music and take calls I use the Motorola S9 stereo BT headphones. The S9 is amazing for quality and fit. Don't let the strange (to some people) design fool you. These are high quality headphones. I have compared these to the Motorola 805s (DJ style) and HT820 (behind the head) and expected the S9 not to sound as good - not true. All 3 Motorola headsets sound great, but for the size the S9 sounds overall just as good if not better. I didn't like the sound of the Jabra BT headphones and the Plantronics over the head (590A) headset sounded good, but not as good as the S9.
By the way I tested a Jawbone and was not impressed at all. Didn't like the fit, sound was only OK and if you need the noise cancellation you have to press a button on the unit for 3 seconds to turn it on - each time. Certainly this is good technology, but for me the Plantronics 665 fits better and over all sounds much better.

I am using a Jabra BT620s for music and calls. Sound quality is very good. Nice fit, good battery performance and fits nicely on my head It has blue leds on both sides that blink when in use, its a bit weird at first but once you get past the oooohs and aaaahs from everyone its great
Has controls aswell (next, previous, volume up/down, accept call/hang up, play/pause) The accept/hangup key has the extra function when not in a call, it activates the voice command program so you can talk commands to your phone

has anyone tried SE HBH-DS970 with this ? comments ?
thx

sorry this is a double post

Anyone tested the HTC Touch E100 or W100 Wired Remote Control?
http://www.expansys.com/htc/p_htc_item.aspx?i=147565
http://www.expansys.com/htc/p_htc_item.aspx?i=150194
-Does it work on the Touch?
-Does it work with HTC Audio Manager?
-Does the FM Radio works?
What's the difference between E100 & W100 model?

I have a Nokia CK-7W buildin carkit in my car (company carkit) which also had bluetooth. Unfortunatly this bluetooth connection gives alot of problems when calling.
I can hear people fine but they hear constant break-ups in the connection. I tried it with a Sony bluetooth headset and everything worked fine.
So dont use the touch combined with a Nokia CK-7W

I'm using the Sony BT20NX and theyre absolutely the best. High quality stereo audio with AVRCP (?) remote profile which works with Windows Media Player, Audio Manager, and TCPMP. The headset is comfortable to wear, blocks outside sound so you can enjoy music at a low volume. The sound is clear and the connection is solid. The buttons are easy to use and I use it for MS Voice Command too, which is awesome. Perfect headset, if you can still find them (I heard theyre discontinued).

Jabra BT8010. I LOVE IT and Customer Service is GREAT!

I purchased a Jabra BT8010 to use with my Cingular 8525/Hermes 100.
Anyways I wanted exceptional sound and a better form factor than the large Moto HT820.
I wasn't disappointed.
I love them. Now to be honest the headset only works with WM6 on the Hermes. Apparently the Bluetooth Stack for the Hermes WM5 sucks wind.
The BT8010 connects flawlessly no need to fight like with the Moto HT820.
The sound is EXCELLENT!
They aren't heavy and since they don't have the donut sized ear pads it is comortable to wear.
Customer service is the best. I lost an ear hook/ear loop I emailed and then called them on Monday and I had thee replacement ear hooks/ear loops by Thursday.
If you haven't tried them and you need a BT stereo headset please give them a try. I love it!
Does the Jabra have a mini usb charging connection or are they still using that proprietary charger connection BS?
Has anyone tried tried the new Motorola S9 BT stereo sports headset? It looks awesome.

They still use the proprietary one. I don't care though cuz the sound is AMAZING. I've had tons of moto headsets (including A2DP) but they always fail to deliver. The HT820 was way to big and uncomfortable to wear.
the motorola S9 is great. ive had jabra stuff and never been impressed. they are lightweight sounds great you can run with them on they don't fall off. I haven't tried the new jabra yet but from their website it seems like they fit like a regular mono headset and that just wouldn't work in the gym. I believe for what i do the S9s are better.

Thanks. I think I'll give the S9 a try.
Jabra BT8010 w/MS Voice Command
on my old Jabra BT800 I was able to press a button to initiate the MS Voice Command. Now that I've upgraded to the BT8010 I cant figure out how to do it. Any suggestions?
Jabra
I had the Moto headset for all of about 2 days before I returned it for the Jabra. The Moto was uncomfortable to me and not very flexable. The Jabra is much better and when you don't want the second earpiece you can just unplug it and put in the case.

you can still do that but first you have to push the button close to the mic pic up then the main button on the jog dial.
I'm kinda disappointed buying this because this headset wouldn't work perfectly on my Dopod 818Pro (Prophet).
The headset is excellent when talking to another party on the phone. The sound is loud and clear but when it comes to listening a music. It would distort and crackles after about 20 - 30 seconds and the sound would disappear. It's like it's losing its BT connection or something.
To solve this issue, I have to turn off the BT8010 and turn it on again and the sound would go for another 20 - 30 seconds
I have tried with WMP, Mortplayer, TCPMP and they are all the same. Mortplayer would last longer but still distorts and disappears.
I have done all the registry fix for A2DP for Prophet and none helps. I'm pretty happy with the headset but not for the use of listening to music.
So I keep the other half of the headset in my drawer.
Git it today from Fry's local store for $99, price is good until 6/26
Pros:
1 very good sound quality and volume (compared to Moto HT820) for calls and music play
2 Size and design
3 LCD display
Cons:
1 No rewind function for music
2 doesn't fit my ear very well, kinda loose and unconfortable

For those who have BT8010. Don't use Jazz Equalizer because you'll find that you'll have the same problem I had.
I think this is a bug, can anyone else confirm?
I have no problem when using Normal / Rock but Jazz will create a distortion after 29 seconds (using WMP).
MAN this sucks, i got a jabra bt320s and it doesnt even present itself as an a2dp device to my hermes.....anybody know of anything similar??

I'll have the Jabra BT620s in the mail today... I'll post a review asap.
Jabra BT headphone
As promised;
I got the Jabra headset yesterday, and last night I was able to try it. First of all, sound quality is better than expected. Setup was somewhat confusing, since the manual is not so clear. But, I managed. Made a couple of phonecalls, all fine. Overall, nice set of headphones. Luckily, the flashing blue leds can be turned off.
Hi
I use the Anycom BSH-100. The Headset is not bad at all, with HS/HF/A2DP/ AVRRCP and a up to 200 h standby + upto 12 h music playtime.
Tech data here: http://www.anycom.com/products/bluetooth_audio_video/stereo_headset_bsh_100/?id=102&partno=CC3300
There is no buildin Microphone. A small (about 3 cm) mic is attacht to the side mini usb-jack. This mini usb-jack is also used to charge the batteries. Most of the time i forgett the mic, when charging the Headset, so i use the Headset often to listen to mp3s and recive calls without using the headset. ( a bild in Mic would be better) The headset goes to mute when a call comes in.
picture here: http://files.anycom.com/images/products/lifestyle/cc3300_lifestyle_01.jpg
+ (plus):
Handling is very easy.
Long Standby & playtime
small transport size (faltable)
- (minus):
seperate Mic
Sound Quality is OK but not as good as a normal wired-headset. (maybe normal for BT)
no option to turn of the flashing blue led
best regards Oliver
Hi, Anyone using Jabra Bt320 with the Touch? I tired to connect for stereo headset but its fails. I had the same problem with Dopod 810 but some after making some changes in the registry the problem was solved. I tired the same tweaks in Touch but it fails. Any suggestion from the forum? Thanks
I used the BT320
and the stereo was fine. I also made the adjustments to the registry and it carried on working fine.
However, I sent the unit back because I bought a Jabra 120s with it and found that, after initial pairing problems (which went away), there was an audio lag which made watching TV rubbish!
When you pair with the BT320s, you should have the option to use it as either
1. a hands-free or
2. wireless stereo.
If you don't, delete the device from your Touch then...
...plug the BT320s into it's charger, three times, for 4 seconds each time.
Now pair again and the option for wireless stereo will magically appear.
Try Motorola S9. Nice and solid. Matches Touch design too.

You get what you pay for comes to mind with BT headsets.
I have yet to come across one headset that plays great stereo sound
and gives you great call quality. However, for stereo sound the Motorola
S9 kicks arse over anything out there and the Jawbone does the voice
calls better than anyone out there. S9 is around $100US and the Jawbone
is $130US ish. Not cheap but you won't be looking to replace them because
they don't do their job. Now if you have a big melon the S9 maybe a problem.
AE!
Hi.
I got the HT820 from Mototola.
Sound is good.
Easy installation on Touch.
Noise cancelling.
Looks a little bit spacy but fits good.
AND I payed 12€ for it on ebay.de.
I use BT320s
Hi,
I am using Jabra BT320s, It just works fine with my Touch. I did the in pairing initially, but after I upgraded with latest firmware I don't have any problem in pairing.
firmware can be found here
http://rapidshare.com/files/51865424/JabraBT320swebupdate_1077.zip
Please read the instruction to update the firmware
Well i got the Motorola BT820 last week, very satisfied
great sound nice volume, little weakness but accepteble by my standard
when theres a lot of static noise the build in mic does piick up on that a bit.
i use it for mp3 mostly, and o yeah its comfortoble too
price is nice if i compare to other headsets,
still thinking about trying the new logitech headset
is there anybody who has experienced it
I have posted a question regarding a small problem with the Bb20s right here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=326489
This is a description of my problem, as posted. Does anyone have an idea?
---
Received my Jabra 620s yesterday. First impressions: it is quite big and heavy, but it is better than earplugs ;-) Sounds quality is quite good.
Here is my problem: After pairing the headset with my device, everything behaves as expected until some event (this happend on multiple occasions, different trigger but the same result): the headset controls still function (i.e. I can skip songs etc), but the HTCs audio is routed to the HTC speaker instead of the headset. I cannot fix this, the only way is to remove the bluetooth connection, repair and I am good to go again.
I'd second the comment on the Motorola S9. I got the S9 to go with my old magician, but now that I've upgraded to the Touch, things are even better.
The S9 workd flawlessly for stereo music and also as a regular hands free headset. I can't tell you how many times I've been out jogging, litening to music and I get a cal from people. They say the call sound quality is good, but always wonder why I'm breaking fast.
I hve changed to HTC BH S100 (in-ear is better for jogging)
sound quality is good, no problems...yeah should be no problems when using HTC stuff only ;-)
i found the Motorola S9s to be outstanding. I have never been so happy with a BT headet.

Got it for 34 euro's and they make me happy.

Best Bluetooth Stereo Headset

What is the best bluetooth stereo headset?
That's sort of a tough question to answer... I doubt many of us have experience with a large enough variety of headsets to say what's "best." You're going to get a lot of personal opinion.
I have a Motorola H700 and have been very happy with it. With my phone on the charger in my office, I can be anywhere in my house and hear clear as day. The volume goes plenty loud, it charges quickly, and is quite small and comfortable. My callers usually can't tell I'm on a headset. The flip-out-to-answer feature is really nice as well.
DR-BT20NX by sony.
Are definitely not the best
The H700 is very popular. Unfortunately, it isn't stereo.
I'll be sure to stay away from the Sony DR-BT20NX.
Check out the Jabra BT8010. It is a bit big though.

I have a Sony-Ericcson HBH-DS970 and really like it - very small in-ear buds with great sound, and remote control unit for music.
Still use my Jawbone mono for when I'm just making calls - but if I'm out for a walk and want to listen to music and be able to take calls, the HBH-DS970 works great.

3.5 mm stereo headset with mic

I've tried the following 3.5 mm stereo headsets on my Galaxy S II but I still can't find one that fits my needs.
1. The in-ear Samsung headset that came with the handset - I don't like in-ear headsets for making calls
2. Samsung stereo headset (AAEP404) - The receivers complained of an annoying echo on calls
3. HTC RC RE160 - Volume was too low on calls so I couldn't hear the caller
Has anyone found a good headset that works with the Samsung Galaxy S II that isn't in-ear or Bluetooth and has good call quality and volume? The in-ear Samsung headset almost meets the requirements, as it has enough volume when on calls and there's no echo on the receiver's end, but I can't stand in-ear headsets while on a call.
If anyone has any ideas or suggestions I'd really appreciate it.
I tested the Blackberry mono 3.5mm headset and it worked well regarding the call management button and the audio levels.
I haven't tested the BB stereo headset, but I suppose it should work equally well.
Cheers for the reply. I'll have to look out for the Blackberry stereo headset so.
Yup. I tried the Tt esports Isurus and works like a charm.
Working with FM ?
Does one knows if one of them is working with radio app ?
coz this apps requires antenna found in the wire to the ears (checked on third contact line on jack).
thx in advance
Beats by Dre with control talk seem to work well with the SGSII I was actually shocked that it did.

Both the Samsung and HTC stereo headsets I've linked to in my original post work perfectly fine with the default radio app on the Samsung Galaxy S II.
Okay, so I've bought an iPhone headset and a Blackberry stereo headset on eBay so I'll update the thread with my results. I've read, and heard, nothing but good things about the iPhone headset so here's hoping it's as great as people are making out. themissionimpossible, I certainly hope your theory is right that the Blackberry stereo headset will work as well as the mono one you tried...!
Blackberry mono headset works flawlessly as an antenna for the GS2 radio app.
The Sennheiser MM30i smart remote with mic works so far and sound quality is very good
Klipsch X10i - works perfectly, except the volume controls on the remote don't work, sound is AMAZING, FM works beautifully, call quality is great, though the mic is placed at the "V" and is therefore a bit low compared to others. Headset is extremely expensive.
Sennheiser MM70 with mic works perfectly. sound is good, FM works, same deal with the mic remote - middle button works for answer, drop, pause and skip, but volume buttons don't work. Not very expensive, but not giveaways either.
Shure headset with the Shure mic remote - mic remote works perfectly for pause, skip and cal answer/drop, but the mic is horribly placed unless you use the clip. It's also a heavy brute. They have their newer modular system that has the mic inline on the cord that plugs from the buds to the player directly - that might work better. Sound is based on whichever Shure bud set you run. Expensive to extremely expensive.
All of the above sets are loud enough to watch non-DRC'd movies on public transportation.
iPhone headset - bllleeeaaaaargh. Simply atrocious sound quality and volume levels.

[Review] HTC Bluetooth 3.0 Stereo Headphones (BH- S600) Uncompressed Audio

Hello guys​
The purpose of this post is to share with you guys my recent purchase The HTC Bluettoh 3.0 Stereo Headphones. These are the official ones from HTC made for our phones. Those with Sense 4.0 and above and phones with Bluetooth 3.0 and above. What makes these different from other bluetooth heaphones is the fact that they use Bluetooth 3.0 which is a huge advancement meant from Bluetooth v2.1 Enhanced Data Rate. This newer version allows more data to be transferred at a time (wider bandwidth) and HTC has taken advantage of this by providing uncompressed audio with these bluetooth heaphones. The sound quality is so much better. v3.0 is more battery efficient as well than the previous generation. The bluetooth headphone clip allows you to use your own headphones as well!
I have made video review below
Pictures of the device and part of the manual are attached to this post for your viewing pleasure​
Official Product Link: http://www.htc.com/au/accessories/htc-bluetooth-stereo-headphones/#overview​
actually, it's not uncompressed audio. It uses Apt-x codec from CSR which is a cd-quality audio compression technology. There aren't many phones that actually have that codec. HTC One series and galaxy s3 are the ones that pops into my mind. Others (the ones that don't have apt-x) will sound like Bluetooth 2.1 edr no mather which version of Bluetooth they use.
Here is a list of headphones with aptx codec support, you'll see HTC is listed there too.
http://www.csr.com/technology-solut...wered-by-csr-aptx/bluetooth-stereo-headphones
Are you suggesting that these sound crisp and clean? I only ask because I stream music via bluetooth quite a bit whether it be to my Yamaha receiver or my head unit in my truck and because of the low bitpool setting in Sense I get a lot of crackling on the high end. AOSP this is not an issue. Only in Sense.
So my question is...How if HTC hasn't fixed the bluetooth bitpool issue in the software can any bluetooth device stream the high quality?
i ordered the ikross bluetooth stereo receiver, they are quite good and much cheaper they go for about 26 dollars
here is a review: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D6_BCQZkfg8
and here they are on amazon: https://www.amazon.com/gp/css/order-history/ref=gno_yam_yrdrs
Can you use them for jogging and fast walking?
Thanks you very much news, I think his headphones low dive deep, clean and full, flexible and intensity, slow feeling. Good high frequency extension, delicate and supple and housing design is also very good

You can actually use any headsets for jogging and especially walking. Just depends how much wire and bulk you are willing to put up with. Personally, I have the LG Tone+ headset. They sound great and dont make you feel like you are tied to something. They are actually a very practical setup. Any way. Those are my thoughts.

Hi,
Is the mic in the headset or is there a mic on the unit as well?
ie could I use a standard headset without a mic and still talk?

it's uncompressed but who cares? it seems those use apt-x lossless codec.
"HTC’s exclusive apt-X lossless digital audio compression technology delivers studio-quality sound"
I picked up one of these on the back of this review, and I have to say, I'm really impressed. I got i it mainly for running with, but I've found myself just using it for everything. In the car, at work, - the battery life is really good, and the drain on the phone really in negligible.
My one complaint... I nearly lost my phone in the gym, cause I left it at the rower I was using, but the range is so good ( around 20m without any loss of audio ) I ended up having to backtrack my whole circuit to find it
I cannot believe they did not include a mic in the clip. It really limits your use of alternative headphones/earphones.

It does have a mic in the clip, can't post a link so check the HTC website for details.
I have this as well. I have to say that for a BT tranceiver, it impresses me so much. My only complain is that I can't really monitor the battery capacity in this thing. But at least it will notify me with that robotic female voice that my "battery is low". However, battery life is good.
I use it when I'm travelling because I don't really like brandishing my One in public transport (it's very unsafe to show off your phone here in Indonesia) as it allows me to control my music wirelessly.
I pair this to some other devices as well, like my laptop so that I can use my hifi system to amplify my laptop using aux cable. I don't use the aux cable directly because it's too far to where I usually sit and enjoy my movies.
All in all, I am satisfied with this product.

Because of that sentence, I have bought this device. But NO, it doesn't have the mic in the clip.
Now I am sad and angry I didn't go for a Sony or Samsung.
I have a MW600 at home, which worked perfectly, but last month the clip lost the suspension thingy so I cannot clip it to my shirt anymore... And that's why I decided to buy this one.
But bummer, you cannot use any headphones. You must pick the ones that have the microphone on. And hence, the device is not useful for other stuff, like in-car use and such...
Otherwise, sound is good, can connect to my mac and phone at the same time and can charge it while using it. Really a shame HTC did not put a mic on the clip...
I had these other bluetooth headphones in mind:
1) Sony SBH20
2) Samsung HS3000
and of course
3) Sony MW600
Good info sudkcoce. I am also thinking of buying this but do not like the earbuds. I need something that will stay on my head. Earbuds to me have always been a fad/gimmick. Can you post if any other aftermarket headphones with mics and preferably ear clips or dome speakers that are compatible with this bluetooth device? Maybe if you have others from friends try them and let us know. For now will be considering the other devices you listed for my HTC One.
I am pretty sure any headphone with a built in mike will work.

I have waterproof earphones by Monster designed for iOS and they work perfectly with the bluetooth clip. Any Headphones/ earphones will work with this as long as they have a 3.5mm jack. Of those headphones have a play pause button on the centre it will work as well. The other buttons may not
I've had these things since February(a nice gift from HTC) and I love it. I don't use it as headphones though when I'm home. I have an aux cable going into my surround sound and I have hooked the Bluetooth dongle onto that Aux cable. Streaming the music crisply, clearly, and perfectly through my system.
