Hello! Asking for a nice bluetooth headset that looks like the motorola s305 that works with the captivate. Any recommendations? Or the s305 is good enough?
I like the s305 because it is cheap and has good reviews in amazon.

I have an s305 and it's worked perfectly with my Captivate.
Great! I'll be buying that then. Have u encountered any problems with it yet?

I also have a pair of the S305s. They work great with the Captivate. I've had them for about two weeks. During this time I've experienced no problems with them. Call quality is great; people say that I sound very clear. Listening audio quality is decent. I wouldn't recommend them (or any bluetooth headset) if you're an audiophile. I consider the audio quality good enough though for my purposes (running/working out). The built-in controls are convenient and work well with Pandora, Grooveshark, and the default media player. I would definitely recommend them for the price.
Blueant T1 is my fav, one ear headset that streams music. DLs phonebook automatically aswell
I have been using a pair of S305s for almost a year. I love it. Its comfortable, I wear glasses and read people had problems with others on Amazon. I too bought it for the price. Its really easy to set up, I have then linked to my phone, TV, and ps3. The controls are great, they didn't work with my iPhone, but work great in both the android phones I used. They last me all day. I use them in the car ride to and from work, and most of the time at work. They still hold a charge that will almost last me two days if I forget to charge them.
I would definately recommend then and would not hesitate to buy another if I needed one.

Motorola HT820 is a great stereo headset that works great!
if you want more freedom with your headset, you might want to take a look at the sonyericsson mw600. basically, it lets you plug in any pair of earphones/headphones you want. you can also plug in speakers for instant wireless sound system, so the use is quite versatile. i've had mine for quite a while and i've never looked back.

Hi, I am planning to buy a bluetooth stereo headset mainly for listening to music.
Therefore, I want the headset to have A2DP and the headset button's can function properly and sync with the captivate.
My first choice is the motorokr s305... I want to verify first if the buttons (play/pause, volume up/down, and mainly NEXT/PREVIOUS button) are working properly with captivate...
By priority, I want to be able to 'next' and previous my songs, mute/volume button, and then play/pause button...
If there are any other recommendations, please let me know!
TIA
I have been using the sony ericsson hbh-ds205 for a couple years now and it works perfectly with captivate. Has all those features your looking for but the best part is you can plug in your own headphones cause it has 3.5mm jack. Which is great cause i can also hook it up to my home stereo system via rca to 3.5mm and hook it up to my car stereo. Has Mic and the play button is play/pause/and answer. With a clip too, to clip to shirt or wherever. Music quality is excellent too
Battery life is great too 8hrs continuous music playback (i think) and like 15 days of standby. Seems like more though I get two days of music listening at work on one charge.
Check it out. Might be hard to find now. I only saw em on Amazon and eBay. I recently got another one from eBay for 40 bucks cause my wife put it through the wash it still worked too just wouldn't hold a charge after that.

thanks for the reply.. but the bluetooth that u recommend is very rare on the market... T_T
T-Mobile just got in some Plantronics Backbeat 903+ stereo headsets. I bought one and it works great with my Vibrant and Captivate.
Works great with Pandora, track forward play/pause and volume up/down.
Give it a look, they're $99.
just got the motorola rokr s10 today and love it, sounds great and synced right up with my captivate of cog 2.2 v6

its only 48$...
the motorola S9 was one of my choice too, but since a new one is coming out, i will wait until the price hit around 40-50$
Rocketfish makes good Bluetooth headphones for music.

not really a newer version but it works just like that one
look up amazon for reviews
i bought one and it works well for me
I have the Motorola S9-HD pair, and they are awesome. My wife has the Backbeat 903's. I can say that the S9's are WAY better.

Wow dude just saw that i think im gonna get that now for sure cause im such a fan of the old one and the new one has even better battery life full buttons instead of a rocker and caller id...sick! Im sold im convinced these are the best bluetooth devices for music listening. Thanks for the tip!

so, with the sony erricson one, you pause play volume up and down using the thing that u clipped on your clothes? i dont like the idea of touch volume control, but i almost never adjust my volume so it will not be a problem with me, lol...
im going to think about this headset, very interesting! the only down for me is, i dont like plug type headset because i dont know why my left ear cant "plug" the headset in, it always came off, even though i already put smaller rubber cap thingy so it can fit in (my left ear hole is smaller than my right one)
I see Motorola makes blue tooth stereo headphones. Has anyone tried to use these on the xoom?
Yeah,
They work just as good as they work with everything else with the xoom (which isn't bad but not that great either) My main complaint is they have swappable ear pieces that keep falling off.

PS. I am talking about the S9-HDs for the record.
I have a pair of the S305's and really enjoy them. They work with my G-tab (so im sure they work with the xoom) It's great not worrying about wires.
I have the S9-HD too...and it works great with the xoom.
I've got the s9. Sounds fine but too small for my head. They go around the back of the neck and keep getting pulled out of my ears. I really like the Jabra pendant. I think the model is BT3030.

The best part its that you can use your favorite ear buds with them.
My buds of choice the Klipsch S4's.
I also have the Altec Lansing Backbeat 906's, they are cool but don't sound nearly as good.

I've had these for 2 years or so, but holy **** I paid 80 total for the headphones, an extra battery, and a 3.5mm to bluetooth converter. Wow, 300 bucks now...
I've got the s9, I like them. It does talk some getting used to if you have been using the in ear ones as these seam to sit more on the ear than in them.
Another S305 user here and I love them. Sound is good, the fit works well over long hours of use from yard work to workouts, and the price is great.

I have the LG HBS-700's and love them and they are comfortable as all get out.
I have had S9's for a couple of years. Work fine with the Xoom.
I have the Sony Ericsson HBH-DS980 and they work great with the Xoom. The media controlls are great and work with the Xoom too. I like this headset since I can pair it with phone for headset use and the Xoom's audio at the same time.
I bought these from Best Buy for my Nexus One last year.. they work great on my N1 and Thunderbolt... haven't tired it on a Xoom but assume they would."

I also have the best buy rocketfish headset. Not very stylish, but they work well and are comfortable. My only caveat is that I experience some slight visual stutter when watching video while using them. Not sure if it is happening to others or if the headset is to blame, tho.

Love the LG phones...the best sound and great, wearable design.
Moto S10's confirmed to be working here as expected.
I have the S9 HD and they are just perfect!
My Sony DRBT50's just got here friday and they sound fantastic, plus they are extremely comfortable.
Hi all,
I'm using my tried and tested Nokia BH-500 Bluetooth Headset with my Shure EC2g in ear phones with excellent results for both Music and Video and all the functions work perfectly with it. Although it doesn't alter the volume on the Xoom it does have its own volume control which increases the volume available from whatever its attached to. The only thing it won't do is control anything but the in built music player if I try using it with Lithium Player it just launches the Xoom music player. For video playback I'm using VPlayer and it works fine for sound but no other controls work with it, I now no longer feel I need Lithium as the Music Player on the Xoom does a great job and I like the Album art view it gives and just don't really feel the need for the widget Lithium play gave me any longer.

ive had the dr-bt22a's for a long time now and they are awesome at work.
Well my old sony headphones that I use for the gym/running are on its last legs... I'm thinking to buy a pair of bluetooth headphones for this purpose. I looked online and ran across the Jaybird Freedom (JF3) headphones and they seem like they are pretty good. Does anyone have any experience with them? http://www.jaybirdgear.com/jf3/
what are some bluetooth headphones you guys have used and recommend/do not recommend? also any bluetooth dongles for a first gen ipod touch that you use/recommend?
I plan on using these bluetooth headphones with my phone (Nexus one), ipod touch (1st gen), and probably laptop (dell studio xps 16). Also using them for calls when driving...
any advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
bump... any help?
It might be me, but I can't even get music over bluetooth on my wildfire like I use to on my Nokia, so you may be stuck with a wired headset if from what I've experienced this may not work.
SAVE YOUR MONEY!!! Go to BestBuy, get the Rocketfish Behind-the-Head Bluetooth Stereo Headphones - RF-BTHP02 and buy the purchase protection plan. 2 years worth of brand new headphones!!!
I use this
Well i still use my old motorola bt0035 and they still work perfect not to mention the batt life its crazy on music 8 hr and stand by a couple off days
I've got a pair of the j3 and they are very good indeed. Look nice and feel great after you have sorted the earbuds out.

I bought the jaybird headphones and like them so far.... only problem is that my ears aren't the same size and I cant seem to figure out the right size for my left ear. my right ear is small, but left feels smaller and I'm already using the smallest size. But while working out it felt like the left ear was going to fall out couple times, but when I got home and tried the medium size, it felt too big...
In my opinion, all the bluetooth headphones are suitable for running. LOL
I say the motorola S9-HD's
you can get em for $44 on newegg
has anyone bought bluetooth headphones? need a good pair to wear to the gym!

If you like full sized headphones like I do, I highly recommend Wireless Rythym by Miikey Stereo. The sound quality, bass response, efficiency and ease of use is out of this world.
Keep in mind that I have been through more than 10 different headsets in the last 2 years. I think I have finally found what I have been looking for.

I got my set at Fry's for $50. I can see them being a problem with someone with a large head though, as the cord isn't very long. I also have experience with the Moto S10's which are also nice.
Sony Ericsson MW600 Bluetooth. They are in-ear earbuds but you can simply unplug them and plug in any other headphone that have the 3.5mm plug turning them into Bluetooth. So you can take your favorite wired headphone and make them Bluetooth. I wear them everyday and they are only $40-$50 on Amazon.

I recently bought a pair of future sound lab zero headphones (also for use at the gym) and am quite satisfied with them. Very comfortable and great sound quality.
Only annoyance is the non-standard charging plug. Would've been better if they'd used a mini or micro usb port.
I really like my chinese BH-503 headphones. It's seems to be original Nokia, but so cheap on chinese shops (you can easily find it on ebay). Good sound quality and work time.

I've been using these for about 3 years without a problem. Paired with Poweramp's equaliser, you can really tune them to suit your taste and genre of music. They're also decent on battery, cheap, and eady to modify.
I bought a pair of Motorola S305 headphones, they are over the ear style, the band goes behind the neck, they charge with standard micro usb, the sound is decent, a little static in my ears on phone calls, but people say they can hear me better than on my phone alone. I've recommended them to my friends, and four of them bought them, all but one still loving them. The other sold them for inner ear bud style ones.
I'm still using mine, still loving them
Oh, and like $30 on newegg

Check out these, they are even great for taking calls with the built in mic. I would have honestly paid twice what they cost me, was about 27$ with tax.
They come in Pink, Green, Blue, White, and Black

I agreee for the money these are the way to go,,ebay.
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.
