Hi,
Anyone can recommend a good bluetooth earphones?
For a long flight, I thought this can be handy for watching movies.
I am not looking for the best sound quality, but something small and flawless. No problem with pairing and connecting.
Thanks

I have Jaybird Freedoms and I love them! Easy connection and work really well for workouts and exercising. They can get loud to block out noisy places.

Motorola s11's are great head phones. They'll link up easy with my nexus 7 and look good. You can find them on eBay a lot cheaper than stores like best buy. I paid $45 for them with shipping new.

I love the S11, though I wish the N7 use apt-x (like my Razr M). But even without, it's the best BT headset I have ever owned.
DO be careful with eBay purchases of them though. Motorola issued a redesign of them a few months ago because the initial bath has an issue where the main band will crack in the middle over time. The new sets have a new material that does not have the issue. You can check by looking under the USB cover for a stamped 'R' above the version number.
I have the Moto S10. Seem less bulky then the S11. Pairs without problem. I bought mine for like $10 on a sale site.

I have a pair of LG Tone HBS700 as well as a pair of moto S305's. Both work fine though i prefer the Tone better since i wear glasses and over the ear headsets put a bit of pressure on my ears. LG has an updated set called the Tone+ but as Coronado is dead mentioned the N7 doesn't use APT-X, and since I have read some complaints over a shorter range on the +'s compared to the regular Tone, the regular ones are a better deal and work well on the N7. They sit on your collarbone and have small earbuds coming out of them that magnetically stick back in to the headset when they're not in use.
SONY Headset Wireless Pro (now is a new model out) is also good. I use it with my Sony XPERIA S AND Nexus 7 at same time. It has multipoint connection, so you can wath videos on Nexus 7 and when a call is coming in, it switched automaticly to the phone. You can use this headset also as FM-Radio and mp3 player.
I have Motorola S10-HD, and absolutely LOVE it!! I bought mine a while back from 1 Sale a Day for $25 or $30(don't remember). Didn't even realize it could be used for phone calls when I bought it, I bought it simply for media. I've used it with my Note 2 for many phone calls, and no one knew I wasn't talking directly in to the phone until I told them. I have it paired with my Note 2, Evo LTE, Asus Infinity, and N7 FHD. I can switch between devices with ease, and battery life is great! I've never killed the battery before, just charge it once a week so it isn't ever dead when I want to use it! Definitely the BEST BlueTooth headset I've ever owned, and I've been buying a new one once a year for about 10 years!! I'm so pleased and impressed with the S10-HD that I've been looking at buying the Motorola S11 Flex HD now, and start using the S10-HD just while I'm cutting grass.

Nokia BH-905i
I have one of these for almost 2 years now and it looks like new... Good sound, good construction quality, it haves a purse, acessories to plug to a phone or mp3 (without bluetooth) and it haves active noise reduction. Works like a headset also...

Here is what the Motorola S10-HD looks like. The band goes around the back of your neck. If fit correctly, the band really doesn't even sit on your neck, it just kinda hovers/floats. I often just rest it around my neck when I'm not listening to it. It is super lightweight and I'll forget it's there a lot of times.

If you've enjoyed the S10-HD, I definitely recommend the S11 Flex HD. Just keep in mind that you won't want to go back to the S10, even for cutting grass... The S11 brings vast improvements in sound for music/media, is much better balanced (physically), and is great for calls like the S10 (I have owned both).
@gogol if you haven't done so already, be sure to check with the airlines you use to see if Bluetooth headsets are permitted in flight before you buy. Some airlines are happy to sell you WiFi access but won't let you get away with Bluetooth.

Cool, glad to know there's a vast improvement. I'm happy with the S10-HD, so anything better sounding will be awesome!
Lol, I'll still use the S10-HD when I'm cutting grass. I think I'll be able to deal with the inferior sounding of the the two for a couple of hours, just to be able to keep my S11 Flex HD clean an flawless!
Sent from my White Note 2 via XDA Premium HD
The S11 doesn't seem to be a big enough of improvement to warrant $100 when my S10 work just fine. The S11 also seems like there are more areas to cause issues like cracking or tangles.
Good to know there are no issues though.

Which model of the S11?
I'm not sure, as I haven't looked at them too much, but I believe there is the S11, S11 HD, S11 Flex, and then also S11 Flex HD. Not sure on that, just what I was thinking. I know there were some issues with the band cracking on one of the models, but I believe that Motorola released a revised version. Maybe the Flex HD is the revised version/model that resolves the cracking issue? I'm intrigued now, guess it's time for me to start searching an reading.
SwiftKey'ed from my White Note 2 via XDA Premium HD
There are only 2 models readily: the S11 and the S11 Flex HD. Only differences are the degrees of adjustability and color if I recall correctly.

LG Tone+
I've owned both the Motorola S10 and S11 headphones. The first pair I had bought was about 2 years ago and I loved them but dropped them in the toilet. Then I bought the S11 model which was just a good but eventually the power button stopped working on them. I ended up breaking them trying to fix the button myself. The power button was somewhat of a common issue and there was a DIY fix online that I tried. Just recently though I went with the LG Tone+ headset, and these I absolutely love! The Motorola ones never sat well in my ears and weren't that loud. The LG ones are great because they're like regular ear buds, you can really get them inside of your ear. If you're going on a flight I would highly recommend the LG. They will provide much better noise cancellation. The only con with the LG pair is the wire for the ear buds. They could easily be ripped off if you're not careful.
I'm super happy with my Plantronics Backbeat Go 2.
I'm using the LG Electronics Tone+ HBS-730 Bluetooth Headset. Works great with my Mac, iPhone, and Nexus7.

+1 for LG Tone+
I use the LG Tone+ as well and I absolutely love it. I had a Sony HBS older model and I absolutely hated them for having no depth in the audio. Some songs sounded horrid. LG Tone+ are a breath of fresh air. They are in-ear earphones and fit nicely in the ear canal. Instead of keeping them around my neck, I rest them under my Shirt's collar. I can't even feel them. I have them paired to my Nexus 7, my Galaxy S3 and my work phone.
Tone+ also have inbuilt presets (which can be activated by pressing the volume up down buttons simultaneously). I use these quite a lot too. Some people prefer to keep the default preset active and use the equalizers on the phone.
I love the Tone+ and would highly recommend it.

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.

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.

Hey everyone, I was hoping to get some input from the community on this one as I have been searching all over trying to figure out what the best bluetooth headset with a small form factor is for noise cancellation and overall quality.
I don't want it to be gaudy, I like the subtle headsets that don't extend half way down your face. I work in a very loud environment (auto shop) so I need something that will drown out the ambient noise pretty well.
I don't want to go out and spend hundreds of dollars on different headsets trying to find one that works well. Hopefully some people here can enlighten me on what works and what doesn't based on experience.
TIA!
Why don't you try the new motorola S10-HD ($80 at best buy) , this is the upgrade of the S9-HD. it has only 1 noise cancelling microphone. Compared to the Nokia BH-905 which has 7 noise cancelling microphones, but it cost $249 at amazon.
I have the S9-HD , sonic quality is very good. I haven't tried yet the S10-HD even though it has only 1 noise cancelling mic, I think the sound will be a little bit better than the S9.
I personally use the Motorola H17. Not a fan of Motorola phones but they make excellent Bluetooth headsets. They sell for 100 bucks at your local Tmo store BUT you can always save some money with our good friend the internet.
Newegg sells them for 53 bucks brand new
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...268&cm_re=motorola_h17-_-75-982-268-_-Product
Or you can get it for only 25 bucks if you don't care about the fancy packaging
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...280&cm_re=motorola_h17-_-75-982-280-_-Product
I've used this while driving and windows slightly down and my gf was still able to hear me fine. Also, I never turn this over 60% volume because it is super loud as well. Would definitely recommend it.
try the Sound ID 400, i had it for a while, it's pretty good and you can get it for around $50
i have a blueant q1, noise canceling is good enough that my i could talk to my wife with the top off and doing 60.... couldnt find any others that would do that.

I agree. Value wise, the Sound ID's are a great bang for your buck. I've had Motorola, Jabra, and BlueAnt that cost double, but were not much better quality.
For overall sound, the BlueAnt was best, but durability was bad. I left it in my car and the rubber over the earpiece pretty much disintegrated within 6 months.
Jawbone ICON! You will never use another.
Hi there, I just purchased the Blueant Q2 from ebay for $40.00 and it is the best bluetooth I have ever had. I am constantly driving for my job and while on the road, even with the window down doing 75 I can hear every word the other person is saying perfectly and they can hear me clearly with no other noises ever. SIMPLY THE BEST EVER!!!!
I would say the best option for your money is the official PS3 headset. It works with cellphones, and has a noise-canceling microphone. It also comes with a dock which if connected to your PC or PS3, will turn your headset into a desktop mic. Ive seen it as low as $25, but you may be able to find it for cheaper, especially since a new model was recently released.

after getting one new from ebay,
I am totally disappointed.
The sound is so choppy and is even worse than the Samsung WEP490 which is only $10 bucks when I got my vibrant.
I followed the procedure and the sensor is physically touching my face,
I even tried putting it on both ears!
I dont know if it is only my device is defective but the first impression is so bad..

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.

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.
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!

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...
Using tapatalk on my Galaxy 2 to post this!
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,
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?

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.

these earphones to me are the best because, able to call, listen to music, hear clearly, battery life isn't that bad, simple to use. pricey by about 120 when i bought them but trust me for me to have them a a mountain bike cyclist it works xD!!!
