Armband, headphones, battery - Galaxy S III Accessories

Hey guys, could you tell some good phones with micro that works with s3, a good battery (better than the original), and a good armband to use when I ride a bike or I'm running. Less price possible

I use the Jabra Sport+ bluetooth headset when running. Not as good a sound quality as some wired headphones but I don't care about that when running. It actually has a great mic, even in windy situations the calling party can hear and understand you.
I'm using the stock battery and using Endomondo with a bluetooth HRM and the Jabra Sport+ headset I can ride my bike up to 4 hours before the battery is empty. No music on while riding my bike though, only listening to the audio coach from Endomondo.
When running I have the phone in a Belkin armband and I have another nice one that is unbranded.

Thanks for reply
You don't know any cheaper headphones with micro? That's a Little bit expensive for me :s

No, sorry. Search the forum a bit. There is a thread about headphones + mic that are working with the S3.

Its terrible. I hate my S-10 HD's. They sound terrible with terrible bass and they are very uncomfortable. The S-9 HD's were much much better imo. The sound quality was better and it was slightly more comfortable. They both take a lot of getting used to. Idk why Motorola would make a product that is worse than the one before it.
Are the freedom jaybird headphones good? I think I will buy that next time. Motorola is falling off man. I hope Google helps them see the light.
Jaybird Freedom
Check out Jaybird Freedom's. Best headphones all around that I've owned. Includes a mic too.

They work just fine with the Nexus. The main reason I picked these up was the sweat-proof guaranty. I read some reviews for other headsets saying that they would crap out after a couple of uses while doing any type of exercise. The two issue I see with these is the left ear sounds a little louder than the right, the other is that when the battery is low, you get a warning every 30 seconds. The warning doesn't come untill the battery is really about to die.

My opinion is to purchase this:
Jabra Clipper
I purchased a couple of bluetooth headsets but they never really compared to the options you get with regular headsets. This options, you don't have to choose. I use it while running/working out and provide a great compromise.
If you're a runner or sweat heavily then I would recommend against any bluetooth headphones that go into your ear. I have had 3 S9's go out on me and I heard the issue is not fixed in the S10's either. I had looked for other options but most of what I read lead down the same road. If you sweat a lot then these BT headphones will short out.
The best option for me was either the jabra clipper or the sony ericcson mw600. I went with the Mw600 which allows me to use my own headphones and obviously even if i sweat on those it won't short out the bluetooth device since it's no where near my ears.

Are you looking for wired or wireless? Following would be my pick for either.
- Wired: M-Audio AV-40
- Wireless: Logitech Boombox
(Both recommendations are based on reviews and I do not own either but I have heard M-Audio (different model) and they sound great )

Over ear head phones from Sony. They break in at two hundred hours but the sub-base, mid-base and treble have improved tenfold. The kick is there but could be better. I got them for £22 but are supposed too be around £48.

Hi all,

Maybe a stereo bluetooth earbuds meet your need, but the music time is also 3-4 hours.
All the mini bluetooth headset for phone working time is 3 hours or less. :angel::angel:
If your money is enough take a Jaybird http://www.amazon.com/Jaybird-Freedom-Bluetooth-Earbuds-Fit-Bluetooth/dp/B005B28DOM/ 80.77 6 hours music time

Bluetooth ones will more than likely have all controls (volume and answer buttons) working. I strongly recommend the Apple Earpods though if you care about the microphone. I have tried many highly praised wired/BT headsets and none of them have usable mics on the N5.
http://www.amazon.co.uk/CredDeal-X-Series-Foldable-Bluetooth-Headphones/dp/B00CQ2W20Q
Currently using these Bluetooth 4.0 Headphones with volume adjust buttons, mic, and a power button. Relatively simple. One piece of wire that connects the two pair of headphones and a small battery in the two earbuds that can play about 4-5 hours of music streaming over Bluetooth. I usually work out with these, so I had to get a pair of Bluetooth headphones that are light! So I can testify to their quality! Sound is solid as well, the sound is fairly close to my Klipsch S4 (II) earbuds. Headphones? Meh, I never buy bluetooth for those haha.
I couldn't find the US link to them, but I figured this should be a good lead. :victory:

I found the link for the US a while back, it was pretty recent when I say a while back. Maybe a month at best? So, I hope you find the link, I tried to search for the U.S link briefly, but they are definitely worth the buy.

These headphones are better sound quality and cheaper. They also come with 3 button controls. This is a way better buy then spending on 60 monsters. I'm an audiophile and use this for the gym and to beat up. My regular studio headphones are vmoda m100s if that helps you identify my music quality.

Yeah man I was surprised by them when I got them. I found them on eBay and I tuned them in viper4android and I was blown away. Really good headphones for beaters.

Yeah, I'm not an "audiophile" (I really, REALLY hate that word) but I am an audio enthusiast (been in the audio industry for 15+ years), and I gotta recommend staying away from anything Monster or Beats branded. You are paying 10% for the headphone, 90% for the brand, and they generally sound like crap.
You want good buds for a good price, go with Yuin. IEMs- Shure or Westone. Cans- Sony, Beyerdynamic, higher end Sennheiser (their low end is crap), Grado, some AKG, HiFiMan, certain V-Modas. Portable supra aurals- Ultrasone has some good ones and the Koss Porta Pro's are pretty much unparalleled for their price and I'm pretty sure that they have ones with mics and controls now.
Bottom line, if they are mainstream and all your friends say to buy them, don't. The best values can be found in brands that don't spend millions on advertising.
