Hi Guys,
I am thinking of buying new bluetooth headphones for my captivate...I usually buy stuff from Amazon..So I am having hard time deciding between these three...can anyone help me with their expert knowledge or if anyone has used them...or any other within same price range

I am more inclined for Samsung one..as I think they will work better with Samsung phone (might be stupid thinking too)..but they r new and no customer review...
Any help would be appreciated...
Just ordered the Motorola... Can let you know how that is...
Look into the Plantronics Backbeat 903 or 906. A few months ago, Newegg had these OEM for $30! They've been working great and they teamed up with altec lansing for the actual headphones. They have not had any problems so far with the buttons, which is a common problem with other brands.

I have these...you just need the 903. I found they have a problem outdoors, especially in snow where they basically can't keep up with you while walking or atleast thats what it seems, it cuts out at times. Don't know what to do to fix it I think it might just be par for the course.

I bought the Arctic Sound P311 from Amazon two weeks ago. I love em. I bought them to run and work out in, but I find myself using them at work and other places for music and podcasts a lot. For the price, they are great and work well with my the Captivate (calls, music, all the next/prev track functionality, voice control, etc.).

I was in upstate ny actually, just outside of Syracuse. Its basically just an intermittent signal drop I used them last night just laying in bed and there was no problems at all the sound is great on them.
I was looking around the internet trying to diagnose the issue and saw something about water having the same frequency as bluetooth. No idea if that's true but who knows.

My vote for the Sony Erricson MW600. Really liking these so far with my Captivate. I can use any headphones with it and the BT unit (with mic for phone conversations and FM radio) is about the size of a AA battery.
Good luck,

I will throw my .02 in here, but the ones i have are from BB. (i hate endorsing them)
http://www.rocketfishproducts.com/products/mobile-phones-gps/RF-MAB2.html
They have been a great set of "cheap" bt headset.
Though the samsungs do look ,more comfy.
Note to those having issues in the snow. Bluetooth range seems to be affected by temperature.

Have them awhile even before I have my captivate, great solid product with high sound quality and has 4 selectable sound options battery also last long. bought from ebay for 25 bucks. only downside is not ideal for people with huge head. so far it fits my head perfectly so not a problem with mine but for others beware it is not adjustable.

Using these as well. They are great. I listen all day at work and use them at the gym as well. They are a little uncomfortable initially, but you get used to them. Excellent battery life also.
all i can say is that particular style i have found to be rather uncomfortable. but then, i'm pretty sure they weren't designed for a 2x head.
I use the BB HS 655+ Bluetooth headset with my Cappy and I have no issues. I have Voodoo sound installed that seems to amplify the output of the headset. Running Cog 4.3.2 on Cappy OCed to 1400
I use my old Apple BB and works great with cappy
I just got the arctic sound P311, there ok for the average user but i like bass and the bass is incredibly messy the sound quality just isnt good enough for me(in comparisson to my £12 wired headphones) its just nowhere near
Think ill put them back on ebay and save for the jaybirds see if there better.
Definitely not for big heads. They initially hurt right above my ear where the loop rest on the side of the head. After wearing it for a while, got used to it and they do loosen up somewhat for a more comfortable fit. Actually had someone stop me in sams last week asking about the headset. He had just bough the rockr*10 (to lazy to look up model) He thought this set looked cool. I like them for the fact that they do not stick in my ears. I do not see them as a cool looking headset. actually ugly. But for the price, surprisingly good sound, battery life and over the ear, they are hard to beat.
Actualy after giving the arctic sounds a full charge, they suddenly sound miles better - must of been as they were low on battery the bass was dying
Quite impressed now. Not perfect by any stretch of the imagination, cheap plastics etc but sound is more important so quite impressed now.
What are some good ones? And best file to play music in?

What is your price range? I mean at a certain price you can only sound so good. If you are willing to up your price I can find you a deal that offers a lot of 'bang for your buck' as they say haha

I got a pair of jvc marshmallows. They are really good quality. Maybe the best quality ive seen for under $20 in-ear headphones.
Now I also got a pair of Sony MDR-XB500's. The best headphones I've experienced so far! The Sony's are around $45-$50, maybe cheaper now, since I bought mine over a year ago. They arent in-ear, they are actually very big, but lightweight and comfortable. Just a rant about my favorite headphones =-]
But ya, You should try DBPoweramp. It has alot of support for audio types, like mp3,mp4,m4a,flac etc...
You should also try using lossless audio music, it takes up more space but is definitely worth it if you want the best audio experience.
System of a Down in .FLAC is the most amazing audio experience i've had in my short 19 years (well 20 now, since todays my bday)

+1 to the JVC marshmallows, i found i got better sound and they were a bit more comfortable when i switched the marshmallows to the tips from my old apple IEMs, you can get the tips online pretty cheap.

Almost no reason to waste space with flac files if you are going to use 20 dollar headphones. Not saying it's bad to buy cheaper head phones. We all have a budget but if you truly want to get an amazing audio experience these are really goo in terms of price and sound:
http://www.audeoworld.com/en/US/Products/PFE/AudeoPFE11.htm
And they are having a promotion where they give you a free pair of 99 dollar headphones with it. Insanely good deal for amazing IEMs
I know these aren't IEMs but the Grado sr60 headphones are incredible for the money. You will hear stuff you've never heard in recordings before.
Wow, I've been waiting for a thread like this. I'm a headphone addict, and have several different sets of IEM's, over the ear, on the ear, buds, etc. I've got cheap dinky ones and ones that were over $100. It all depends on what you want to get out of the music. This is vital, and if you have any headphone afficiando friends, they will be able to help you out. Also, as with any headphones, please break them in for 12 - 36 hours of constant music so that they can loosen up.
If you're talking about IEM's, the first and most basic thing to understand is that you get a good seal. Without that, every pair of IEM's you audition will sound like a box of crap. There will be no low-end bass, you'll have noise bleeding in from the outside world, and your view of IEM's will quickly get ugly. Try different tips, although I'm a big fan of foam tips, even though they have to be thrown away after a while. However, I've found that if you put them in warm (not hot, this will melt the glue that holds them in place) water for a few minutes, give them a good shaking, this will break up the earwax that builds up on them. Squeeze them dry with a towel, give them another couple hours to completely dry out, and BOOM, you doubled the life of that set of foam ear tips. I've had some last 3 or 4 times as long as they should have this way before they finally began to fall apart.
That being said, I'd start with something around $40 - $50. Altec-Lansing makes a model called the UHP-336. These Altec's are not bad at all, and are a good introduction into IEM's. I'm also a fan of Maximo IM-590's. I don't understand a lot of the bad reviews for them, I found them great for occasional listening.
Once you get used to them, and want to move up (you probably will), look at something like Etymotic er-6 series. I've got a pair of the ER-6i headpohones, and they are very good mid-range cans. Very nice step-up from the Altecs and the Maximos.
I finally splurged years ago and got a set of Shure e3c's, which aren't even made anymore. However, these IEM's are hands down my favorite headphones ever made. They cost me $110 second hand, and I use foam tips for mine. They've lasted me for over 8 years, although I wasn't using them for two or three of those years while I was trying out others. However, these IEM's have some of the best clarity I've ever heard out of any headphone I've ever owned. I hear nuances of music I didn't know existed. I've put thousands of hours of music and audio through them, and they sound absolutely breathtaking. It will be a very, very sad day for me when they finally die.
I hope I haven't given you information overload. This is something I am nuts about, although I don't really delve too deeply into the specifics and technical details of what each IEM can do. I only know what my ears like. =)
I travel a lot and lose earbuds frequently. So I try and get the most performance for the least amount of money. That being said I am currently using JVC Xtreme Xplosives and I am very happy with the price point and sound quality at what I consider a very low price point.
I've probably had over 30 different pairs of earbuds going back 10 years, and the Bose ones I have now are by far the best.
Maybe they are over priced, but the small plastic attachment that slips into the top part of your ear makes them well worth it. I use them while I workout and it helps a lot.
The sound is also very decent.
The price is anywhere from $69-$99/pair, which is probably extremely expensive to some people, and a bargain to others.
I have yet to find out whether they offer lifetime warranty, but a friend of mine sent his back and received a brand new pair. Do that once and you've made back your $100 instantly.
Because we all know that cheap earbuds go kaput quite often.
Soundmagic pl series any day. I got a pl11 for £20 and tbh it was better than my £50 seinheiser cc 300 ii.

Well as everyone knows Beats are ridiculously overpriced, the sound they provide is nowhere near the price they charge, yes they do look nice but just way too expensive. So I shopped around and found what are essentially beats without the same price tag (RRP they are but sell for much cheaper on ebay), the headphones I refer to are the Monster Purity HD's. As everyone knows Monster makes Beats, the Purity HD's are essentially Solo HD's with a rectangular ear cup, slightly less bass and clearer sound. Same headband and everything, really nice looking cans, got them today after winning them on ebay for £38 brand new and sealed.
I think the reason for how cheap they sell is they have been made in conjunction with Nokia for WP7 phones so uninformed people dont realise they are made by the same company as beats and think they are Nokia headphones, good news is also the cable with the ControlTalk controls works right out of the box with the S3, that means answer/end calls, play/pause music, turn volume up/down using the controller without ever touching your phone. Awesome. Anyway thought it might be of use to people who like the look of beats but not the pricetag they come with. Enjoy.
Thanks for the heads up. I've started shopping around as well and couldn't justify dropping the $$$ on Bose or those Beats headphones. I'll take a look at these.
Or you could just buy a pair of Audiotechnica's and get the best sound quality for the price...

Go spend $15-20 on a pair of skullcandy buds and you'll get a great pair of headphones without paying an arm and a leg for decent sounding headphones.

If you ask any audiophile what headphone is the best, they'll tell you it doesn't matter. If your audio file is a high quality (256kbps+) then it'll sound good no matter what headphones you use. In fact, most audiophiles use cheap $10 generic earbuds as opposed to something more expensive.

Either buy what you really want or head to TJ Maxx.
A lot of people talk about lack of bass because they don't know how to insert in ear phones properly. Even on expensive phones.
Good headphones with clear mids and airy highs will really disappoint you if you don't master this skill as they will sound utterly unbalanced and unfun if you don't get a good deal on your ear canals.
Figured i add something even more useful than the initial advice you might not see as one.

If I have helped you.... hit that sexy thanks button. ^_^
I've done a lot of research and this seems to be the consensus: They're better than the old pack ins, but not near as good as Apple's claims.
This dude hated them:

This dude thought they were alright, but preferred a certain $7 set of earbuds:

And I ordered said certain set of earbuds to see what the hype is all about. Apparently if you want to step up from these $7 earbuds, the next best sounding ones are $90 Velodynes. That sounds pretty amazing, but I will know first hand in a few days.
Oh yeah, those $7 ones:

best in ear buds i've ever used were the Monster Turbine's
I know they're from Monster, but damn, the clarity, bass, and mid to high's are great.
i think the apple earpod's are a welcome change from the previous version.
Posted in the wrong forum earlier. Here are closer pics for those wondering. Seems like similar styling, but not Beats.

As long as they sound decent they can be branded Flavor Flav, no matter to me. :silly:
Beats suck anyways. They're made from cheap plastic, have poor frequency response and tracking, and IMO aren't comfortable at all. Spend the same amount of cash on a pair of Sennheisers and you'll end up with a much higher quality product.

I learned a long time ago, don't talk about audio quality on the internet. Audiophiles are crazy people.
I can confirm that the earbuds are well made. They have great sounds for being included. And they're a comfortable fit.

Good to hear. I wasn't expecting anything high end, just a level of quality that complements that of the phone. I thought the buds that came with the NS4G were awful; muddy lows, and no real highs. Not to mention they were broken within a couple months.

Make that three! I love my HD 280 Pro, and plan on purchasing a pair of Sennheiser In-Ears asap!
Moved to the correct forum....

Look likes they went with off branded beats style. Since they have licensing I wonder if the price point from beats was too expensive.
I like my Shure SE530's - upgraded them from my SE500 from a few years back. A little bit better but a little brighter than my SE500's. Of course I need to stream music to them for a couple of days continuously to break them in.
Beats Audio is overhyped plastic bits with weak drivers and horrible fidelity.
But then again good sound is subjective. I love FLAC and can hear the difference and most of my friends can't hear it until I make them listen to to non-FLAC and FLAC and they are like OH WOW. But they will usually say that for what they want out of headphones/earphones the basics are okay.
It's all personal taste.
I'm glad to know that these are not the beats buds...T-Mobile does not include the ear buds and I was bummed out, but if they are just regular ear buds then I'm cool, I'm not missing out.

I have never used Beats, I wonder if those who say they are bad have used them or just repeating what others have said (who may have never used them). Not saying they are good, just wondering why people talk crap about something they have no experience with. I would love to see real tests of them, not opinions. Opinions are like butt holes, everyone has one.

In terms of build quality, price, and sound quality I have to say V-moda's are the best I've seen.
From what I know, beats aren't bad. They are just overpriced for what they offer.

I'm an Etymotic man myself. The sound isolation is the best I've ever encountered - a godsend when travelling on noisy trains. The sound quality is superb as well; but they aren't that cheap.
The earbuds that came with the H1 suck IMO. I'm a tall guy and they are extremely short. I have a pair of Klipsch Image One headphones that work well with the one. The volume controls don't work with the H1, but the mic is supported.
I'm partial to my Ultimate Ears Triplefi 10

The htc headphones are better than the standard ones you usually get with a phone but not by much.
I'm using klipsch image s4's they isolate sound great and have an amazing fit in the ear highly recommend them, sound great with the one.
