You can find it everywhere on ebay. Actually, you can access this ebay link for more information http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI...loc=closed_view_item&refwidgettype=osi_widget.
Because I am in Australia so I use Australian ebay. I think can find it on your localized ebay site. Is costs around 21 USD excluding shipping cost.

I have just tried mine out. The exact model you list, the BK 08.
It sounds good. I have only tested for a few minutes, but it paired up instantly and just worked. I have tried incoming calls, and it switches over to the call correctly and back to the music. The buttons work as expected, controlling calling and music playback.
I walked away from the phone to check the range, and I experienced a skip or two beyond 5m distance, but when in normal range of the phone, it's flawless.
More about the quality. I have reasonably good ears, having owned etymotic ER4s before now and consider myself a minor audiophile. From a limited listen, I have no complaints about the quality of the stream.
I was expecting to hear encoding artifacts as the material listened to was MP3, and afaik, the a2dp device will encode for transmission using the SBC codec. No obvious negative effects were detected with my admittedly average Technics headphones. If anything, the audio loses a little definition and punch. Not the same as a wired connection, but easily good enough for me.
I have enabled the a2dp registry tweak in the Kaiser tweak tool.
I bought from an ebay user called phone_base, paid £18 including postage, and received the item after about 18 days.
Very happy, and pleasantly suprised.

It wasn't so great on the train on the way home. I heard some little pops and there were more skips, so I did some more tweaks:
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=7715
It is much better now.
Also, I realised there was no easy way to turn on/off the bluetooth stereo output, so I installed this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=338263&highlight=a2dp
The only other problem is that Mort player doesn't support avrcp so I can't pause it with the headset. I might have a go at this later:

Perhaps (correct me if not) the iPhone's headset works also with the Universal.
http://img.tomshardware.com/us/2007...ed_iphone_headset/apple_and_rivet_earbuds.jpg
i'm not sure of this information, but i'm exigent and i want find the original sony earphone .... please can you give help???
hi, i am new to the universal world, and since i just received my device yesterday and unfortunately didn't read the ebay description right, i hardly have any original accessories. besides other things i don't have a hands-free. i've had my blueangel for 2 years and had similar issues there, because i wonder, for just listening to music, is the plug's layout the same as in a 2-contact one?
the blueangel's 2.5mm 3contact plug has a different layout, meaning, plugging in a simple 2contact adaptor from 2.5 to 3.5mm doesn't do the trick and you wouldn't be able to listen to music properly since one output channel is actually jammed in the microphone input channel. it is all messed up.
i hadn't had the chance to test it, but:
- does a normal 3.5mm stereo headphone work for listening only?
- do mini-usb-b headsets work on the universal, say... if you took the touch HD's
- do those from newer HTC devices support the extra buttons (PTT, play, skip...)
- does a 3 contact 3.5mm like the one (usually ) shipped with the universal support other button functions besides answering and holding a call, like ending call or voice command...
i would love to have those questions answered and like innuendo1973, i would like to know, what headset, hands-free... would be best for me (till now, still using my sim in the BA, so maybe a simple music headset would be enough, a usb one even better, if that works)
as i may recall, i do have a lot of experience when it comes to the bluangel, but this universal seems so much more complex and so different after all...
(Prepare for a lot of stupid questions when i first start upgrading it )

I will just get a extUSB to 3.5mm adaptor from HTC. Check it out here: http://www.expansys.com.hk/d.aspx?i=179131
The good thing about this is that you can use any headsets to answer calls as well as listen to music, especially listing to the radio.
Or if you want to you can also purchase a multi-function adaptor, which will enable you to listen to music or answer calls why charging the phone. So you can watch movies and not need to worry about running out of battery.
All for less than £25.

Bluetooth pendant: Suggestions

I'm looking to purchase a bluetooth pendant with particular features:
Play, Pause, Fwd/Rwd, Vol +/- & Call answer
Another plus would be one that has illuminated controls & the option to use a lanyard or clip.
I looked over the Jabra Street2:

Which has all those features listed but after reading & watching some video reviews a majority of users state that the built in microphone has poor quality. The users on the other end can barely hear you.
Can anyone here recommend one that has all those features listed but with good mic quality?
I'm interested in peoples experiences too.. I've been looking to get the Sony Ericsson MW600
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003DQ1DCM/
I actually did look into that one as well & even though it doesn't have some of the features I'd like it seems to do its job. I also read reviews from Amazon users who purchased the device & 30 out of 145 who did buy it complained about the device freezing. Still it got an average of 4 out of 5 stars.
I do have one concern though: Do these BT devices allow you to control streaming music apps or just the stock player? I downloaded a nifty streaming app called Dood's Music Streamer & was wondering if it would recognize commands from any BT device.

The mic seems fine on the MW600s, I have had no complaints. It even seems to hear me fine when covered by a layer of clothing.
The MW600 is pretty tiny, however, and doesn't have the option of being worn as a pendant, so just be aware. That said, it has Play, Pause, SkipFwd/SkipBack, A Volume Slider (probably the most complained-about setup, since it's touchy and can be tough to use) & Call answer functionality... just know that the buttons are very small and all arranged around a tiny little barrel-like shape about the size of a AAA battery.
I love mine, especially that it has an FM radio also. I use it constantly to control Voice Command (which brings the phone out of sleep if you don't have a pattern/number lock set) which works very well.

Yes, you can use these (the MW600 at least) to control Google Music, Pandora, etc in addition to the stock music player (whatever is last active is what will be controlled). I haven't tested Dood's Music Streamer, so I'm not sure about that one, but if it doesn't work it's likely a problem with the software, not the bluetooth unit.
Got the Jabra unit pictured several years ago. Still have it, audio quality is acceptable but can attest to the poor mic quality.

I don't have one or want one, just thought I'd share. I did buy a little helicopter from this website and got it right away... like 6 days or something.
thanks for sharing,I found an upgrade version Hm5100
http://www.samsung.com/tw/consumer/...e-accessories/BHM5100JWEGBRI?subsubtype=other
Thanks to the heads up by the OP, I got this headset at this discounted price. My headset arrived today and I've been pleasantly surprised. I first paired and connected it to my older Android phone running Froyo. It was recognized immediately and paired and connected with no issues. Call quality with the phone was excellent (the person I phoned confirmed that the sound was very clear on his end) and the call feature that uses your contacts list on the phone and phones when you pronounce a contact's name works on the phone. I next paired and connected to my note while leaving the device paired to my phone. Although the headset paired and connected, it crashed my note twice. Once I de-paired from my phone, the headset stabilized on my note and I was able to make calls using the VOIP program C-Sip Simple. The call quality was very good but not quite as crisp on my end as with the phone (the people whom I called thought the sound quality was good). The call from contacts list feature doesn't work with VOIP tablets because the headset is programmed to look for a native phone dialer, which is missing on the WIFI notes. All-in-all, I'm very happy with my purchase, especially since I'm planning on upgrading my phone this year to a larger model with a 5-inch screen. I have an in-ear BT headset but I only use it when driving or on my daily run. This headset will be very nice to use at other times. Here are some photos.

I have the stick as well. I use it with my Note 2, which I can now leave in my huge wallet case. I like it especially for the fact that it vibrates to alert me, and that I don't have to keep anything in my ears.

Review of Anker Bluetooth stereo headset w/lots of pics!!!

This is a review of Anker Bluetooth Stereo headset for music streaming and hands free calling. http://www.amazon.com/Anker®-Bluetooth-Headset-HandsFree-Calling/dp/B00ENF5CZQ/
Yes, believe it or not, people still use these single piece on-ear wireless headsets when driving or outside where they still have to be aware of surrounding. That is a key with this type of headsets where your one ear is open to keep you aware of surrounding environment. Typically these feature better sound quality and more functionality in comparison to older models. So let's take a closer look at new addition to Anker's catalog.
Arrived in their signature environmentally friendly plastic-free package, you get a wireless headset with 2 sets of high quality adjustable ear-hooks, 3 pairs of silicone eartips in different sizes, and usb charging cable. This wireless headset is very light, at only 12g, and dimensions of approximately 55mm x 17mm x12mm and additional 15mm for earpiece part. The ear-hook rotates to adjust the angle by 360deg and can also be flipped 180deg for left/right ear use. It has a very sleek professional look with minimum controls, multifunction call/power button facing outside and volume up/down on the bottom edge. The top edge has micro-usb charging port.. Also, I was glad that Anker logo was printed inside, makes the outside of this headset to look clean. Furthermore, inside there was multi-color led indicator and microphone.
Pair up took seconds, and after initial connection a voice guidance provided a confirmation. Although I only tried using this headset inside where everything sounded crystal clearer up to 40ft away from my phone, according to the spec this headset is equipped with CVC (clear voice capture) echo and noise cancellation technology to help you in a noisy environment. As a bonus, beside just a phone connection, it was also connected to phone media (thanks to A2DP and AVRCP protocol support), and I was able to stream music from my Note 2 and remotely control the volume of the audio on my phone. Its a great feature since switching between playing music and picking up the call is seamless, and on a full battery charge you get up to 5hr of talk or audio playback.
Overall, its a great little wireless headset that packs a lot of features, has a nice solid build, and a very professional look. Considering a price of under $20 shipped and 18-month warranty with lifetime tech support - this is one great value as well.
Here are the pictures.

Soundpeats TrueAir2 Review

Hello there,
today a new review from me!
It was time again to find new wireless earphones, this time i checked out the Soundpeats TrueAir2 . You find them for 34,99€ on Amazon.

In the package are the headphones, a charging/transport box combo, and one USB-c cable.
They come powered by the Qualcomm QCC3040 and have Bluetooth 5.2. Two microphones are in every earbud (4 in total) to capture the voice perfectly and filter out environmental noises. The form factor is much like on Apple earpods (see the photos yourself).
They come in a charging case, the charging case uses USB-C to charge itself and then it can charge the headphones 4 times by the inbuild battery. Overall you will get 5hours of playback time. This means 1 full charge plus 4 recharges through the case will give you 5 * 5h = 25h of playback time. Which is pretty nice!
The headphones have a touch control feature, you can simply touch (not press!) the headphone to play/pause etc. your music. Which comes in handy if you don't want to take out your phone. To do so you need to touch them at the logo of the headphones. One tap on the right one will increase the music volume, one tap on the left one will decrease it. Long touch right, next track, long touch left, previous track. Double tap (on both) is play/pause. etc.
Like i said, this works very well. There is also a voice assistant if you press 3 times (no matter which side), but i personally don't like voice control on headphones, but if you like it, it is there for you.
Bluetooth pairing didn't make any issues at all, it was quick and reliable. Just take out the rigt earpiece and start binding, done!
The headphones are a good fit in my ears, i would personally not recommend them for sports, but they should be good for anything else. Overall i think if you want to do sports with wireless headphones you should use another form, the apple like form is a nice fit, but doesn't stay in the ear for jumping around. (Atleast not in my ears )
Sound is very good, i am not audiophile, so i just represent my layman subjective view on this. I am very happy with the sound from this 35€ devices. I did not change any settings and just listened to some online radio and i am fine with the sound.
Overall: Pretty nice headphones for a cheap price! I can definetly recommend them!
They seem very good price point and quality. Nice review!
do you have issue of suppressed sound when using mic on windows 10? it's the only problem for me
