Bluetooth headset - EVO 4G Accessories

What would be a good Bluetooth headset that has noise cancellation while on calls and could allow listening to mp3s or Pandora?

Jawbone Icon, but I hear the battery life isn't quit that good. That's the only thing that's prevented me from getting it. Maybe someone else can confirm or recommend something better.

I used this one from Sony Ericsson, http://www.sonystyle.com/webapp/wcs...:mw600:dg_ggldf&productId=8198552921666198163
Got it from mobile city for $40 back in June...

I've considered a jawbone for a while but its kinda heavy on the price... the other one is interesting but I don't know

Been using every model of the Jawbone since they were released. The newest Icon is the best ever. Great sound & battery life.

The Plantronics Backbeat with Altec Sound is very good.

I have a convertible and have always used a bluetooth headset in my car. I have tried almost every dual mic mono bluetooth and the best overall brand is Plantronics. The Voyager has the highest ratings, but is so big and uncomfortable. The 975 is very good, but pricey. The first Jawbones were not great, but the newest Icon is a great headset. However, for the money, the headset I have found to be the most feature rich and best sounding is the Motorola 790. These are all mono sets.

Jawbones are great headsets. Nice audio quality, but not the best volume.
Blueants are another great set, I have used them for a while now.
If you want a stereo, jaybirds are awesome. Hands down.

I agree, and the blueant also has an app from the market that allows custimizations for the headset, if i was honestly gonna invest more money into a bt headset thats the direction i would go

Just fyi;
the blueant Q1 (the one I have) the app doesn't work for Froyo.
and,
the Blueant Q2 (the one I want to get) doesn't have an app yet. However, the Q2 is still pretty new, so I'm sure the app is en route.
Supposedly the Q2 has some kickass sound. Can't wait, personally

Had the original jawbone for years now and it was a ga=ood headset but uncomfortable fit. Got the blueant z9i but the noise cancellation wasn't as good as the jawbone. Just picked up the jawbone icon and the noise cancellation is unparalleled. People can't even tell I'm in my car with the windows halfway down. Plus it has a much smaller and more comfortable fit than the original. Oh yeah, it handles a2dp also! Definitely the way to go. Only complaint, volume could be louder.

Ya know, that's the problem with so many of these headsets. They just don't have the volume for real world applications.
It's like they only think people use them in a car or in the office. That's why I took back my Jawbone. Great set, but I couldn't hear squat.
Oh yeah, the Blueant Q1 and Q2 support A2DP...

I have the BluAnt Q2 and it works pretty good for playing music and everything else.

I use lg hbs-700

I second that motion, jawbone is the way to go. Battery life is approximately 4 hours more or less(constant streaming). It does support Ad2p and extreamly well. Everybody's talking about the audio not loud enough but if you have a rooted phone you can find dsp manager, (I know cayogen offers it in his roms) and you can find the standalone apk and adjust the volume till its too loud.

I agree with this sentiment. I was lucky enough to get them for free when Verizon made a mistake in the mobile app, listing them as free one month. Battery life is awesome. Sound quality is superb!
I would get logitech wired headphones. I have had many böse headphones and for $60, none of them compared. They also have a in line button and mic designed for Android. 5/5 overall

i have the plantronic backbeat 903+ and i like it alot. it's pretty discrete but not invisible. sound quality is decent and it also features this function where it opens the mic to pick up and amplify the surrounding noise if you pause your music so you can hear what's going on.
I got mine on sale for 30 bucks. pretty decent. lasts about 6 hours on continuous music. I also took it out for a run and it didn't jiggle. stayed put and comfy.

I have a broken 903+ too, i think its good until started to use stock headphones. Or maybe we can say wired headphones are better, right? But the functionality of 903+ is superb i think.

New stereo bluetooth headset

Now i've searched in another forum but they didn't quite understand me.. what I want is a both ears headset, my old one broke, it was the plantronics backbeat 903+, it was practecly perfect.. 7 hours listening to music, complete control over the phone from the headset.. I'm looking for something similer, someone recommended the backbeat GO, but they only have 4 hours.. and it's nothing.. despite how awesome they look.. so.. any suggestions?
tnx in advance.
I have Sony Ericsson Bluetooth dongle. It comes with in ear headphones, but the dongle itself has 3.5 mm input. Yo can use it with all kind of headphones. 10 hours non stop music. And the sound is crystal clear.

If your budget allows ($170), check out the new Jaybird Bluebuds X that just came out a few weeks ago. I ordered mine from their site and am blown away by the sound quality and battery life.
very pricey, but its worth every penny.
how many hours does it actually clock?

I've never done an actual benchmark test on the battery. Perhaps this weekend, I'll pair it with my laptop and leave it streaming throughout the day(s)
I've been pretty happy with the LG Tone headphones I got a while back. They have a collar piece, but it's not bad. Very good battery life and sound.
I got a Motorola s10-hd for $25 from woot.com and it works great

I have an LG Tone headset too (HPS-730). They are pretty comfortable and claimed to have a talk time of 15hours. Although i haven't yet tested that to the max, but i've run through the whole day without charging them.
GS3 has aptX,and the problem is that there are almost no BT headphones that take advantage of this. I have Samsung HS3000 and use with good quality IEMs. It is not as good quality as wired, but is way better than non-aptX headsets.
If you are determined to get a native BT, it is a pretty short list with aptX, like maybe 2-3.
There's a brand new Motorola Bluetooth (S-11 maybe?) Headset which replaces the S10. It has apt-x, the earbuds are adjustable, looks pretty nice. No personal experience though.
I freakin' love my Jabra Sport. Comfortable, light weight, and holds enough charge for 4 trips to the gym each week. And the sound quality is great, with plenty of volume. (http://www.jabra.com/products/bluetooth/jabra_sport/jabra_sport)
I've had the Moto S9 and S10 (essentially identical) and they suck. Moisture always gets in and they stop working. Sound quality is weak and the volume isn't loud enough. Avoid these at all costs. Look at any list of reviews on these and you'll see the same results from everyone.

Small Bluetooth Headset...for music?

Ok to start I hate the way Bluetooth headsets look sticking out of the side of someone's ear especially those with the damn blinking light on it. What makes it worse is when people walk around seemingly talking to themselves for all the world to hear. With that said, I don't want a headset for phone calls. I want one for music.
I'd prefer not a standard headphones unit with 2 ear buds, I only want one ear so that I can still perfectly hear what's going around me.
Do normal headsets that are designed for taking calls with work for playing music as well? I'm not terribly concerned with sound quality, I just want something discrete and functional. Does anyone have any suggestions? They would be most helpful as I'm a bit lost on this one. Thanks!

I was looking for something similar about two months ago, and then I came across the Motorola Elite Sliver through a deal site for $50.
I use my all day while I'm at work or at client's sites. I can listen to iHeartRadio or music on my Nexus in one ear, and still listen to everything else using my other ear. A single charge will last you 4-5 hours, but it requires the case to charge. But the cool thing is the case has a battery which charges while it's plugged in, so if you're on the go and need to charge your Elite Sliver, just pop it into the case and it will charge - no need to plug it into an outlet.
Really happy with it and it lets me listen to the radio or music while still keeping an ear open for the world around me

Not in front of my computer to check the specs, but honestly, I think it sounds pretty good for being a one ear piece headset. Like I said, I use it all day to listen to the radio and music, and still have the ability to listen to the people and environment around me.

I was sent a Jawbone Era to provide feedback on a new style of rubber ear bud.
I have never really that much into bluetooth before.
Anyway I do use the Era to listen to music when I don't want to use a pair of wired ear buds.
Battery lasts 5.5 hours and is charged via a standard micro USB.
yes they do

Not sure about using headsets for making calls for music - seems like the quality wouldn't be that good. If you just use the headphones with 2 ears buds you could still take one out and listen to music and make a call. Problem solved? :fingers-crossed:

Wired Headset Recommendation

Well I have given up on wireless headsets and am looking for a quality wired headset for my HTC One.
I make quite a few calls and occasionally listen to music.
I am tossing up between a more mp3 audio headset such as the Klipsch Image S4 and the more call orientated Plantronics MX500.
Can anyone recommend a good quality headset with inbuilt microphone?

Out of those two, Id definitely go Klipsch. Ive always liked their products. I do use a Plantronics bluetooth for calls, but ive not used any of their products that Id rave about for music quality (Ive not used the MX500 though).

My gut says similar. The wireless headsets I have used are Plantronics Legend so have some exposure.
I listen to music probably 5-10% of the time though so the ability to play music is secondary.
My impression is that the wired call centre headsets have not been updated in a long time and are outdated.

My experiences with the legend were less than pleasant.
I was getting the problem of chronic interference when talking on a cell phone but reasonably clear talking on skype. I could never get to the bottom of it. I am using the headset that came with the phone but looking for something that is a step up in quality.
Anyone got an additional take on this or should I consider giving bluetooth another try?

Look at JLabs
http://www.jlabaudio.com
Usually they have sales and anything with an "m" after the name (example: J4m, J.Fi.m) are "mobile phone" headsets that have the mic and button integrated into the right cable. Right now I am using a J4m (that I got for 5 bucks in a grab bag), it is incredibly rugged.
Have been using Jlabs earbuds for years and they are some of the best sound (until you get into the 100-200 dollar range) I have heard out of an earbud. Also just bought the crasher bluetooth speakers.

I like the Creative EP-650 In-Ear Earphones (there is a hands free model can't remember the model number) had them for more than 5 years still have their bass the best buy so far only thing is cable jingles a little and due to they Y shape it transmits the noise to your years, you need to wear them under your shirt to stop the noise transfer.
Nexus 4 Wired Headset https://play.google.com/store/devic...dset_with_Microphone?id=nexus_4_headset&hl=en
LG Tone HBS700
Bluetooth, all the buttons, great sound.
Recommended the product of aromic floyd.
maybe samsungs stock headset in the box is the best one as the speakers sound...
but i think beats one is the best for microphone...
I had tried a bunch and have been continuously dissapointed with the sound quality on BT headsets. I finally went out and splurged on the Plantronics Voyager Legend and I must say people couldn't even tell I was talking from a BT. Unfortunately mine had a bug and wasn't loud enough on my end and I need to send it back to be replaced but I do think that for good sound quality it is worth the high price tag especially if you are using your phone for business (which is why I needed it). I think some models of similar items to the voyager legend from a year or two ago have already gone down in price so that can help to cut costs.
The plantronics units mentioned above I believe are for use in the building when you are hooking your phone up to them. The units I am referring to are cellphone BT headset
I am using a Jabra Wave headset which is quite convenient and really cheap (14€)
For a bluetooth headset, I am using an LG HBS-730. Sounds great with music. Would sound better if the GNex came with the Apt-x codec, but I have no complaints about the sound. Call functions are compatible with the buttons on the headset. Highly recommended. Can get a refurb model on Ebay for around $40 shipped.
