Best bluetooth wireless headset? - Galaxy S III Accessories

For the last 3 years I have been using a Motorola s805 dj style headset. I used it for movies, music, and for talking. I has worked great but it recently broke, I would like to get something similar. Does anyone have any recommendations?
Sent from my SCH-I535

Suprisingly I have the dell stereo bluetooth headset (which is discontinued) and it's fantastic. the quality and life of those are great, but too bad i can't find them anywhere..
i'm currently using the plantronics backbeats 903+ and do do quite well. i like the "environment" feature (when you pause music it puts the mic to work to pick up sounds of what's around you so you can hear better when the music is off)

Go Groove Airband is pretty decent.

I checked both of those headsets out but it's not really what I'm looking for. Here is a picture of the Motorola s805 that I use to use. I would like something comparable.

I'm using a Samsung HM1100 which is probably the best one I've had since a Plantronics Voyager 510 and GN Netcom GN6210... all three were various priced but the HM1100 was the cheapest at $15 but seems to works least worst. However it doesn't support music and still not "loud" enough for my liking.

My all time fav was my Jabra BT8010. Great sound, a bit heavy, very comfortable, functional AVRCP, name callerid and dialing form the OLED screen, and best of all, instant immersive stereo just by attaching a second, smaller earpiece.
I'm currently playing with a Moto H17txt that I picked up refurbished for $15 and am very happy with it so far. Extremely small and light while still maintaining good sound and volume. I also just bought my mom a BlueAnt Q2 ($29 new, bulk) that is impressive, though larger and heavier. Reviews say it should work well in my convertible, I'll have to give it a try next spring.
My biggest gripe so far is trying to get a decent hands free voice dial working on the S3. Best solution I've found is Vlingo, but it requires that I run without a lockscreen. I even bought a Samsung HM3600 to try and get AVX working decently, but removing A2DP didn't smooth that app out near as much as I'd hoped.

I just ordered the Samsung HS3000. I used it for a few days as a headset, then got the idea to use it in my car to add bluetooth capabilities and handsfree driving. I clipped it to a point in my headliner and tried it out as a handsfree phone while driving at speed (around 80mph). The person on the other end said they could hear a little bit of road noise, but it sounded great. So it has been mounted in my car since then! Of course, it streams audio as well.
The take-away here is that these new BYOH (bring your own headphone) BT units can be more flexible than you think. I may order a second one to actually use as a headset!

I've been happy with the LG Tone headphones I got a while ago. http://www.amazon.com/LG-Wireless-Bluetooth-Stereo-Headset/dp/B0052YFYFK

I'm still rocking a BT8010 and I love it. I hate that the general idea of that kind of convertible monaural-binaural headset was abandoned by OEMs. I'm building my own headset that improves on the design since it's nearly impossible to find the BT8010 anymore and nothing else comes close.

I used to have the bt8010 as well, it's super nice but has 2 minor drawbacks
1) the earhook can come loose over time. I remedy this with a layer of electrical tape at the tip.
2) the wires that connect around back will get stiff and in a specific shape over time. not much can be done with that one....
but apart from that, it's a rocking awesoms bt headset. i still have a spare stereo part at home which is completely unused...

I appreciate the suggestions, the main use for the headphones is music and movies. I will be doing minimal talking, I use a Motorola h715 for that, I should have explained that better in the op. I will be using them at work for long hours there for I would like a over the ear headset. Any ideas?

do you prefer it to be discreet? or do you not care about the size. if you want discreet, try the the backbeats I mentioned or the jabra bt8010. if you want middle sized, try the dell bh200. it sounds surprisingly good and is pretty loud if you max it out.
I don't know about the big ones though...
another one i heard about is the jabra dog tag ones... that just hangs off your neck like a necklace.

Size doesn't matter, I just need them to be over the ear, comfortable, and they need to be noise isolating because I will also use them at work and I am required to use hearing protection. I have a budget of up to $200

How about Jabra- wave?

Samsung HS3000 + your favourite set of in-ear or over-the-ear headphones. Will cost you less, will be more flexible and will make you happy, because HS3000 uses APT-X codec, which does the job well. If you get tired, if you break the earphones just plug in another set. I'm using it with a pair of Sehnheiser's IE7 IEMs, very little difference between this and the 3.5mm plug in the phone.

bummer, then I have no clue what would fit within your criteria.. I don't know of any bt headset that has noise cancellation. maybe try the dog tags with a decent headphone that has a built in noise cancellation doohickey on it.

Vibrant headphones

Does any one have vibrant headphones for sale?
Sent from my HTC Desire
I might. Just got the Vibrant and have a set of headphones I like so never even taken them out of the box. Send me a PM and we can talk. No idea on price so make an offer.
I have a never used pair from mine too.
Also have a pair that I haven't used.
I suppose you got them now...Testing them against the ones that come from hd2..hd2 has more bass and the vibrant ones are louder...I only posted this cause I recently tested them lol
Sent from my Samsung Vibrant using XDA App
There are a few OEM ones for sale on eBay too if you do a search for Samsung i9000 headphones.
Just go into a T-mobile store and see if they have any extra ones. IMO the IEMs that come with the phone are average at best. I would invest in a nice pair, I picked up a pair of Thinksound Rains for super cheap on Amazon and they are sound awesome. They are suppose to be releasing a pair with a mic on it shortly.
Im still looking im willing to pay like $15 for the headphones,i really want them

I just tried using my old iPhone headset with the Vibrant. It works just fine. I can even start and pause the music player from the mic button.
Thought I would mention this since it may be that any iPhone compatible headset will also work with the Vibrant. Can anyone confirm this?
Thanks.
damnn... i never paid attention to how good the stock headphone sounds... i was ready to sell this... i must say these are some quality headphones...

These are just headphones, no mic on it. It is the same style as the ones provided and I even think you can use the same interchangeable plugs that came with the phone. I bought some and they were great.
Does anyone know where I can purchase headphones that have the interchangeable earbud sizers but also have a mic and full music control with the skip buttons (like the HD2 headphones)?
I love these:

really? these sound better than any pre-packaged headphones i have ever used.
I find that the stock headphones are far superior to most others on the Vibrant. I have a pair of very expensive sound canceling Sony ear-buds that sound like trash on my Vibrant but are great an all my other devices. If you look at the stock headphones the connector has a third band. Supposedly it emulates 5.1 surround sound. I listen to allot of music with layered tracks (Tool, MarsVolta, SOAF...) and with the stock headphones I've been hearing stuff I've never heard before. One thing I found strange with the stock headphones is that at first I had to apply a good amount of pressure on them to get them connected properly.
UPDATE
I was just thinking that other band is probably for the mute control. Either way, of the several other headphones I tried the stock sounded the best to me.
UPDATE 2
LOL, just tried my old school KOSS and they sound every bit as good as the stock. To bad they're huge!!!
I got a pair of klipsch S2m and they are great buds. $25 on amazon vs the msrp of $60.
Sent from my Samsung Vibrant using XDA app
the third band is for the microphone.
I've found the 5.1 button to be more of a 'make what ever your listening to sound like doo-doo' button.

On an unrelated note, has anyone tried using iphone earbuds with built in audio controls on the vibrant? It just occurred to me those might work since the iphone has a similar headphone jack setup.

Bluetooth Headphones

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

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,

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.

best headphones?

just wondering what you guys use.
i'm looking for in ear headphones with some sort of music control/mic. under a hundred bucks is great, I love bass.
so far i've found these two guys: Klipsch Gaming earbuds, and Klipsch s4a's. I hear the s4a's have issues with some phones though.

problem solved. gonna use the ones that came with our phones. bass is solid, and so far they are pretty good at blocking noise.
if i find the mic/vol controls to not be worth it, i'll just buy a pair of half decent earbuds without mic control. if the OEM samsung earbuds dont provide me with mic control that I like, I doubt any expensive off market buds will do me justice.

I use the original earbuds that came bundled with this phone and Poweramp music player and the sound quality is more than excellent for me. Nice deep bass especially when you turn up the setting on Poweramp.

If you want BOSE, they make a mobile headset that has mic and volume controls. It's called the MIE2i. Also, Beats make a pair called the iBeats. They are an in ear headset with GREAT sound. I own both and use them interchangeably. I will say though I give the MIE2i's a slight edge because the eargels are the most comfortable I've ever worn.
BOSE = Buy Other Sound Equipment
Klipsch S4A, made for android. S4i sounds good, when mine need replacing, I'll buy S4A's.

I did the same and since I don't need the Mic, I started using my Sony ear buds. If I get a call, I just pull the phone out and answer, I have to see who's calling anyways.

As far as in-ears under $100 are concerned (which Im assuming your asking for) I like the NuForce NE-700M over the Klipch s4a. Ive had them both and i feel like the highs are more crisp and it has a bit more low frequency extension.
Also if you care about bass more than clarity the AIAIAI Swirl have plenty of bump and an excellent asthetic.

Do either of those work with Android as well as S4A? To me, that's a big selling point. My S4i's are perfectly suitable sound-wise, but the lack of control sucks.

The NuForce has one button/mic combo. One press pauses/plays, two presses skips the track. The button is honestly a little flimsy though so if button is your number one concern
As for the AIAIAI it looks like the new one has 3 buttons but i cant attest to how well it works as i had an old version of the swirl with only one. I can say that AIAIAI's whole deal is that they are really well designed as far as the tangible parts so i would assume that they took a lot of care in designing the buttons.
what earphones set for Samsung Galaxy S2 SGH-t989 has best microphone ?
hi,
I've already lost the earphones that came with my new samsung galaxy s 2 SGH-t989. 1 of the reasons I got this phone was for the vlingo voice-operability that makes it good for use while driving. Does anyone know what the best ( or at least a good) earphone set is for this phone, especially with respect to the microphone quality?
thank you in advance.
monster has a BYO headset adapter w/mic that works
picked it up or $10. bought 2-one for walking around and one for the car's Aux-in jack.

yes. i do that all the time as well as use my truck speakers with the tape adapter as my speakerphone.
I use a pair of hd sound buds I got from 5 below for, you guessed it $5. They are the best I have seen. The sound is real good and if they break I just go get another pair. They have a mic for calls too. Everyone I call says I sound real good through this headset. Cant beat $5 for a good set of buds w/ a mic. I have paid a lot more for sets that were not as good. I keep a spare set around b/c I am hard on headsets.
I use audio technica's clip on earphones, really comfortable and portable. The cable is lined with cloth, so it is a lot more sturdy than plastic or rubber, and it is near impossible to get it to tangle up, even after being tossed around in a wadded-up mess for a few days. Best headphones I have ever bought. They are a little on the expensive side, and they don't have a mic, but I listen to a lot of music, and I definitely fee like I got my money out of them.

Might wanna check out Amazon's selection of Sennheiser earbuds right now. I've always trusted in Sennheiser for great quality at a great price.
http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_s...nheiser+earbuds&rh=i:aps,k:sennheiser+earbuds
These ones:
http://www.amazon.com/Sennheiser-MK...YMF4/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1323525004&sr=8-1
are marked down from 80 to 23! And some of the reviews say 70 was a great price for the quality. The next model up retails for 120 and is on sale for 30.
Or, go to Target and get a pair of Skull Candy ink'd earbuds. They are 17 or so, and sound comparable to much more expensive sets. Was really impressed by them for paying under 20. And the noise cancellation is great, too.
I just bought a pair of sony sweet little buds:

They were 20 or so, and the reviews on Amazon are pretty positive, but I don't think they sound as good as the Skull Candies at all. So they are going back to the store
I find that the urbanears bags works well with a mic for 30, or the klipsch s4a sound pretty amazing for 100. the klipsch app works pretty well for controlling headphones with one button.

The Klipsch s4 is pretty bass heavy though. The phones I prefer for compressed, on the go usage are the Klipsch S2 if you can find any variety of them.

Koss Porta Pro's. Sound great, nice sound balance, and pretty darn affordable. They have a lifetime warranty, and I believe I saw a version with a built-in mic.
I find the klipsch s4 to be reasonably balanced, but the bass is better tuned. they are squeezing a lot out of the high end.
I think that was a very complicated way to say "i agree."

What's Bluetooth phone for great quality at a great price...? Incredible 2.
I use the Skullcandy Titan model. For only $40 they're amazing. I see no reason to go above and beyond and pay $99 or $150 for Beats when these are awesome and compare to the same quality output. They're totally worth the 40 bucks.
For daily music enjoyment riding mass transit (buses/subways or trains) - a pair of in-ear, noise-cancelling headphone/mic is what I carry/use (picked up mine from a Brookstone sale 2 years ago, iphone compatible) and it is great.
The key is to install/enable/use DSP Manager on the ROM if not stock - I can fine tune the music/video settings as needed for various boost & equalization.
For the occassional oversea/long distance air travel, I take the full-sized Sony NC headset with the cups - I just don't feel the need to spend hundreds to buy into the Bose brand.
YMMV, of course.
I use the Beats by Dr Dre ear buds. They are around $75, but the difference between these and a $5 pair is I wont have to buy a new pair next week. These baby's last.

I like my cheap headphones. The sound is as good as I need it to be, they have lasted for two years now, and if I do lose them or break them I can replace them without breaking the bank. I use them on my motorcycle, in the sauna, while I work out, work in the yard, etc. I don't know that I would be comfortable abusing an expensive pair like I do these.
For me they are just like sunglasses, the cheaper they are the more I like them and the longer they last and the more expensive ones get lost, stolen, or broken right away. It's like they have an odd niche in the market for being backwards or contrary to what one would think.

Which Stereo BlueTooth headset has the best sound and best funtionality

Hi guys,
so my $80 skull candy ear buds have been lost or stolen, and i was thinking of getting a nice Stereo BT headset for when im working and shredding the slopes. I was looking at the LG HBS-700, but i know there is a lot more out there. Which one has the best sound (good highs, mids and really nice lows) and is the most functional. Would be nice to also be able to make and receive calls and prefer ear buds, but i am open to whatever really
I appreciate the time guys. cheers!
the Motorola ones, i like the new ATV
but the old HT810 was really good

I have used the Sony hbh-ds970 & the Sony hbh-ds980 for about 4 years with great Success. I like the style the Sound for music and voice, The oled display with caller Id. Best of all is the durability. I have worn them everyday. They where expensive but worth it if you use them a lot.

The motorola s9 is awesome, they dropped a newer s10 but its horrible, sound is very low, and audio playback sucks. You can find the s9 at amazon

how is the bass on all of the suggested headsets?
I have the LG HBS-700 and they are great. They do not give much bass but I mostly use them for audio books and some Pandora and calls when driving. The thing I like most is the way they fit, unlike most others BT Head sets they are comfortable and for $50 they are a deal. If your looking for major bass then these are not for you. In addition they give great call quality.
For double the price my father in law has a jaybird headset and swears by them. The only thing is because of the design they are easy to loose becuase you forget you have them on when not in your ears. He learned that the hard way, they fell in the fire when we went camping and didn't know till the next morning when we saw charred pieces in the fire pit. At that point he only had them for a week.
Bass send good to me on the jaybird but I should tell you that I I'm 46 and have some hearing loss from the time I spent in the military...
If you have a best buy near you which has a set in stock you could buy them, try them and return them if you don't like them.
...I have a set of less expensive skull candy wired headphones and I think they produce a bit more bass...

I personally do not like Bluetooth headsets for music Idk just really don't like them. But if you are looking for some really great headphones that are wired try Radio Shack and look for PointMobile headphones personally, there better then the Skullcandy Fmj and 50/50 combined and for only 30 its a steal.

I use bluetooth headphones exclusively as I don't like wires...
Have been using the Motorola S305 for the gym for a good 3+ years now. Fit really well, light, excellent battery life and solid BT range. Only concern is they're not as compact as the below headsets, so I only use them at the gym.
Jaybird Freedom's I use on my public transit commute to work. Don't stay on particularly well, even with their new rubber seals, but since I'm just sitting there with minimal motion they're fine. Poor battery life, maybe 3-4 hours per full charge and the range is short (<5 feet). I like the useful playback controls and volume buttons, however.
Outdoor Technology Tags are, in most areas, an improvement on the Jaybirds, but the cord is so darned long and the bright red is too flashy for my tastes. They fit remarkably well, seeing how similar they are designed compared to the Jaybirds. Battery life is also a bit longer than the Jaybirds.
I use the motorola S9-HD, I tried the nwer S10-HD - I wasn't impress with the bass,
