Which Bluetooth headset for music (and calls)?

A couple of days ago I didn't know what Apt-X was, but now I know, and... finally understand why bluetooth streaming was so horrible with my HTC Desire!
So since the S3 has this codec, and since I am going to get the S3, I would like to know which is the best bluetooth stereo headset out there that supports this?
HS3000 looks good, and might be the thing for me but it's more than a year old AFAIK. Any other suggestions? Can be any brand.
EDIT: Sound quality is priority.

What's the issue with the HS3000 being a year old? I have one and use it with my One X (also Apt-X capable), great piece of kit and cheap too. Besides that Apt-X headsets are fairly scarce at present, I know Sennheiser have several, but the prices are rather prohibitive...

If you want a real capable headphone, Sennheiser MM-550x/450x seems like a true winner in that regard

I'm looking for a new Bluetooth headset for music too... i'm currently using a Sony Ericsson MW600 which is pretty good but I'm keen to get something with apt-x support.
The HS3000 looks ok but ideally i'd like a display so i can see the number of people who call and also track information... does anyone know of a bluetooth headset with apt-x support which also has a display?

Well i'm gonna throw my MW-600 on it. It has superb sound and served me well in both my HTC Wildfire and Huawei U8800... Although if the in-ear buds that samsung provides, sound good i wont bother replacing them

Are any of the headsets mentioned "lossless" when walking fast?

Don't really think they're worth it. For that price you could have the HS3000 and buy a set of $200 IEMs and a set of $200 cans which you can use with anything with a 3.5mm output, or even use the HS3000 as an input for anything with a 3.5mm input. For most people that'll be a much higher value proposition.

Thanks, I'll check out this model. Looks to be cheaper than the HS3000 too. If the sound quality is good I might buy it..

I wear mine hanging from my neck when out cycling and it's fine.

Another vote for HS3000, it supports Apt-X. Using it with my HOX with some £170 iems and sounds fine for wireless playback. Small and compact.

How much of a difference is there when you connect those directly without the bluetooth?

got the HS3000 two days ago, and i must say its atleas as good as the mw600 it sounds good feels good well its all good BUT thers a damn BUT in there, its the answer button everytime you press it but mistake or otherwise it want's to redial the last number dialed. i havnt found a workaround other than installing a "call confirm" app. so now i only need a tasker profile to activate this between the hours i need it to.

Been using the Nokia Essence, it also has NFC (unfortunatly it doesnt work as planned with Android Devices). However, it does its job pretty well and did i mention it has NFC?

Yes real easy, I'm hoping that someone will develop an call confirm app that turns on at bt connect, the only apps I have found turns call confirm off on bt connection.

Sony is supposed to be releasing the Smart Wireless Headset Pro which appears to have all features of the MW600 with the addition of a micro-SD card slot (2GB card included) and Bluetooth 3.0. It looks like a nice upgrade from the MW600, but it appears that it does not support apt-X as this feature is not listed under the specs tab. It's also a bit expensive, but the street price might be somewhere south of the MSRP of $149.

Headset Questions

I bought a really nice set of in-ear headphones to work with my N5.
However they don't appear to work with the N5x.
Have they decided to change the spec to an "Apple" standard rather than the normal "Android" standard?
If so, this may well be the most annoying/expensive decision ever!

What brand and model of in-ears are you trying to use?
Sent from my Sprint Galaxy S5.

can't remember the model, but degauss labs android ones.

Unfortunately this might be the case! I just received my 5X. It works great with standard headphones (HiFiMan RE-0, no mic), but I get no sound when plugging in the headset that I had used with my Nexus 5 (Xiaomi Piston). Neither the mic nor the headphones work. Instead, audio is diverted to the phone's speakers.
I'll run some more tests when I have time.
Looks like these people are reporting the same issue that I'm experiencing

This is the response I got from Project Fi Customer Service on this issue:
Thank you for contacting Project Fi Support. I am so sorry this process is taking longer than expected, but you are in the right place to get your answers. Unfortunately, because the Nexus 5X is such a new device there have not been many choices when it comes to accessories including headsets. There has been no update either on where and when you can go to find compatible accessories. What I can do is suggest that you try Bluetooth. Bluetooth is compatible with all Nexus devices that are running on Android 5.0 and higher. Below you will see a link that will walk you through the steps to connect to Bluetooth.
Not looking good! I tried the workaround posted in the androidcentral thread. If you hold down the play/pause button on the inline controls while you plugin the headset, then at least you'll get sound. Mic and controls still won't work, but you have at least some functionality. Annoying, but it worked for my Xiaomi Pistons.

Anyone tried pushing it in very hard? Sounds dumb, but I've read about other people needing to push in hard to get it working right - This was to do with complaints about poor volume/quality, though.
Found this on reddit, too: https://www.reddit.com/r/Nexus/comments/3qf2kw/nexus_5x_headphone_jack_not_working/
Can anyone confirm?

I just tested my Xiaomi Piston v3s and they work as intended. Volume buttons work, play/pause works, and audio via the earbuds. I did a cursory search and it seems the v3s have CTIA wiring. Most previous Android devices were OMTP (except the Nexus4/5, and my previous G2; maybe it's an LG thing?), which the Piston v2s are.

Thanks! Mine are Piston V2s (supposedly also CTIA?) and they worked for my Nexus 5, so I'm still a little unclear on why the V2 doesn't work for them, but I'll order the V3 and give it a try.

You're right. I did a bit more searching and it seems the v2s are also CTIA. I have a pair of them as well, so I'll give the a go and see if my results are the same.
EDIT: Same behavior that you're seeing with the v2s. They must be wired OMTP, as iPhone users reported issues using them.

Just to confirm, my headphones are pushed in all the way. It takes a little bit of force, there's a noticeable "click," and there's no gap between the gap and the plug.

Thanks for double-checking your V2s, that makes me feel better.
I tested my wife's iPhone headphones. The headphones and mic work, they don't have controls so there was nothing to test there.
I guess you're right, it's as simple as OMTP/CTIA. Some people in the other thread reported that their buttons weren't working when using iPhone-compatible headsets on the 5X, which made me think this was a more complicated issue.
Piston V3s are back-ordered on Amazon currently, but I'm looking forward to them!

Does anyone get this problem: http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-5x/help/how-to-off-listening-plugging-headphones-t3234344
This is just with a normal 2-band headphone jack
Rang google support and they say there arent any other reported cases of this so maybe I/we have defective units?

Thanks for checking, @cthip.
Since I don't have the phone yet, could someone help me figure out compatibility here, please? I hope I'm reading this right, but I'm not sure.
If a headset with inline controls works with the N4, it should work with the N5X. Yay or nay?
Cheers!

In theory, it should work just fine, as the Nexus 4 and 5 also used CTIA. I found an old post stating the different wiring schemes could be denoted by the color of the rings; gray for CTIA, and black for OMTP.

Headphones with m8

My default htc in ear headphones left ear sound getting stopped intermittently, so thinking to buy new one, budget is small, around 20 dollars ?, so any suggestions? I am thinking of some Bluetooth headset from AliExpress,,,,,

just go for the stock HTC Max 301 (comes with the M8) or the E240 Pro (Improved version of the 301 with volume control). Both of them are really cheap :l

Good luck with that. If I were you in that situation. I would save some more for a better IEM. I don't like Bluetooth headphones in general. But you said you have a 20$ budget so I wouldn't think you dould get a bluetooth headset for that price range.And that Bluetooth headset you ware talking about. If you like to stream music from your device to the headset it self. It will not last long (imo the 80mAh battery)
And. Always search for reviews before ordering.

Similar to a previous response, I find it hard to believe you can get any decent Bluetooth headset for $20.
Also, I'm not persuaded to the Bluetooth headphone camp (and hate that Apple has started this trend of removing the minijack from phones, with other manufacturers following suit). At a minimum, I need a solution that will work in all situations. When the batteries die on your BT headset, then what? If you don't have another headset, you can't listen to anything, that's what! And I honestly can't be bothered to have to remember to charge another device all the time.
The Panasonic Ergofit RP-TCM125 are an excellent wired earbud choice for under $20. Read up more here: http://thewirecutter.com/reviews/best-headphones-under-40/
Yes, I know the Panasonics have been surpassed on this article by the AKG. But honestly, I was too lazy to have to type in all my info to order the AKGs (which also cost more) from the link, when I could just get the Panasonics through Amazon.

oem htc headphone for m8

TESTED USB-C headset for 10$ that works

So, i saw lots of discussions around for a usb-c headphones that actually works with pixel 2 (mine is pixel 2xl)..
I ordered long time ago this usb-c headset from AliExpress, and forgot about it, then i received it today.. And it wooooorks.. Its actually really good (not saying high end headset good) but high volume, definitely noticeable bass, and very cheap (about 10$)..
So the secret was when i was searching for something that works with pixel 2 is to have CDLA (maybe a dax feature or a driver in it)..
Below you can see its picture and a link.. but also you can just search for usb c with CDLA on AliExpress..
The link:
Original Letv CDLA Earphone Letv 2Pro HiFi Chip Inbedded Continual Digital Lossless Audio Type-C for Xiaomi 6 Gold Galved Mic
http://s.aliexpress.com/z2aAjyMf
(from AliExpress Android)
What i don't like (but can live with it since its that cheap) is that its not in ear, its more like the shape of apple's one's.. And the mic is on the wire of the left ear (strange given that am used to the mic being on the right ear wire)
Honestly, the main reason for me to use it is that am on the phone a lot, and i want a quick plug and play mono headset, so am going to cut off one of the ears speakers (mono conversion).. And with it being that cheap, i don't mind the cutting (at least not a 50$ plus for an earset that i will end up cutting)

BAHAHA Looks like they took their iPhone headphones and put a USB C on instead of a Lightning. But having used the apple ones I might be interested in a pair since I kinda like em.

Back at low price, I'm going to buy it!

Music worked but microphone didn't. Anyone else have a similar experience?

Yeah..mic don't work properly during a phonecall. The other party I called said that there was a loud annoying buzzing electrical noise when I use this headphone. I bought 2 pieces and both had the same issue. Disappointed

This will change my idea... Damn

wanted to buy this until i saw the price.........

Yaaaa noticed that too.. Sometimes the mic doesn't work.. Agree with most here..

Other suggestion for type c earphones working with mic?

Can't get these to work on my phone. Is there an option I haven't enabled, or is Flash Kernel interfering in someway maybe?
Can confirm they work on my computer so its not the headphones themselves
EDIT: so interestingly I flipped around the usb cord and it works haha. Weird how it works one way and not the other.

Mine arrived yesterday and the microphone works perfectly.

Thanks mate. Not yet, but I’ll see if I can get a pair and let you know.

Thanks OP, watched the video, but still had a question. So far I have not used any headphones or seen the DAC settings. However I have used the USB out to my car audio system and it works perfectly, short of DSD, it plays everything else fine. It looks like its playing DSD but I dont hear any output.
My question is does the DAC come into play with the USB or is it bypassed?

There are 3 variants of E80
The first E80, has no mic only audio
Then came the E80S, has mic but only one button on the remote
And now the E80C, has mic but 3 buttons on the remote, like what you could expect with stock earphones

I have the E80s. I believe the actually earphone is the same with all models. I like controlling everything from the phone, so never use the button on the headphone. Depending on if you need the extra functionality, you can save some money by going without.

I made a coment and question on youtube about that video, maybe you did not sow it so i past it here again anyway:
¨Nice video. Thanks Gavin. I am interested in this phone especially because of the audio, so this video is the best that i could find. But i have a question to make you, if you will so kind to answer me.
when you say trigger the DAC you mean the Amplifier? Because my guess is the DAC can be activated no matter the type of headphones impedance. Yes or not?
So the audio quality should be pretty much the same if not perhaps a little more stable, flat frequency variation.¨ Thank you in advance.

Thanks for feedback. Check YouTube. I have replied. I was fast asleep hence why I have just replied , time zone difference FYI I reply to every comment.

Has anyone use in pair with Sennheiser PXC 550? How do we know if the phone is using Aptx or not? Since PXC 550 support this codec, though its not the HD
