Looking into buying a stereo bluetooth headset for my wing, but not sure what's really out there, or which ones are better. Any suggestions would be appreciated
I did a little bit of research on this topic and recommended HT820 for my brother in law. He bought them on ebay for under $30 brand new. Good reviews (bulkiness was one of the biggest concerns which is find with me) and fit the budget! I will let you know once he get's them. Good luck.
I was thinking of going with the 820, but didn't know if there is much difference between either of them, or if there was something better out in the market.
I got the Plantronics 855, and I love it. Works very well, and has great sound quality. A little pricey at $129 USD, but worth it.
I have the moto S9.. I love it. best price is from Amazon I think.
I even choose stereo a2dp over an iPhone.

Damn, and to think I got the motorola s9s when they first came out at around $99. But you know what ... I still have them, they're good, and it's something I'd definitely recommend getting, (especially for $44.99). So go get 'em for pete's sake and terminate this thread, LOL.
s9's have problems Ive tried 3 headsets and the Insignia ns-bthdp seam to be the best, they pair up soooo easy, they fit on the ear not in the ear,don't have to worry about sweat messing them up,they are super LOUD and clear,you can lay in a chair and listen to music ,and the kicker........you can hear calls and watch movies or videos you downloaded in stereo just my 2 cents.
I love my S9's.
I also have the Motorola S9 and i love the inear plugs. Better than all normal headphones. It is small, light and connects without any problems!
BTW - i only payed 34€

looking to buy a stereo bt headset/mic .
this site has some pretty good pricing, but too many choices....
http://www.onlyg1.com/bluetooth.html
scroll to middle of page.
just wondering which is going to give some bang for the buck. not looking to integrate into my car audio cz my hummer stereo doesnt offer bt anyway. just looking for a nice, comfortable headset for the gym and while at work with good battery life, great sound and mic. appearance not important, but i do prefer the wrap around the back style
all this is dependent, of course, on the a2dp rolling out. any1 have this update isolated? nyway, be nice to only lug around the g1 instead of g1 + lappy + ipod + all associated cabling and power cords. g1 has almost completely replaced lappy already and ive only had it a cpl of days!
also, i see conflicting info on g1 specs. some say bt v1.0 and other say v 2.0 and still other sites say that firmware upgrade is needed to support bt 2.0.
i dont care what i have to do, but my goal is not only to enjoy streaming music via orb and my home server but also streams from wolfgangs vault with a sound i can deal with. rite now its too sloppy and retarded that it plays thru speaker instead of my current bt headset. found this out the hard way while utubing at work. oops, my bad boss
Prices are not good. The one headset I can recommend wholeheartedly is the Motorola S9. They are fantastic for sports and/or working out.
Here's the thing. The S9's on the site are the old model and they're charging $70 not including shipping. The new ones are the S9-HD's. They have builtin SRS WOW technology and the sound quality is excellent. Best Buy has them for $99 in the store.
If you want the S9s cheap then Ebay is the way. If it was me, I'd be all over the S9-HDs.
just wondering, anytime the A2DP will be up?
i was just going to get a stereo BT headset until i read this forum about it not having A2DP..
*sigh

S9s are sweet, but only if you have a tiny head. They're not adjustable. And eBay is definitely the way to go...as long as you're cautious. There are lots of Chinese knock-off S9 headsets.
I'm also anxiously awaiting A2DP for the G1. Right now using the 3.5mm adapter which is not bad for being able to answer phone calls while listening to music during my commute.
These look more interesting:

being able to use my own headphones would be the biggest selling point.
my s9s have been hanging off my lcd monitor since I got my G1 =/ I want a2dp now! >.<
Anyways before I was using a Nokia 5300 Xpressmusic and then later a SE k800i the quality was great! a little bit better with the nokia but a good set of bluetooth headphones and lightweight
I know its on the roadmap but they are sure taking their time to implement it in the official build of the G1
thanks for the replies. looks like the s9-hd is the headset of choice. ill have to buy them in person tho, cz the comment about big heads [like mine _] concerns me.
well i just got my Sony Ericsson HBH-DS200
now just waiting for A2DP to be working.....
OMG I CAN'T WAIT
One word, EPIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The sound quality is great. the rep came to my bestbuy store today in Houston, and we all got some. They come with 3 different ear buds with 3 different sizes. Bluetooth of course, plus the battery is extremely long. And they are sweet resistant, so they are great for working out. Plus the call quality isn't that bad either. Kinda of a pricey buy, but it has to be ther best bluetooth stereo headphones i've used. And working at bestbuy, i've had them all.
Here's a link to the website:
http://www.jaybirdgear.com/blog/tag/jaybird-freedom/
MOD, i posted in wrong thread, please move to accessories
So I love my X2. I have the volume+ APK installed. I have yet to find a great pair of ear buds to use. I had a pair of titanium Skull Candys. I really like them but I would love something with a built in mic.
I am thinking about getting these tomorrow. http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Monster...ones/1299999.p?id=1218248660227&skuId=1299999
I had the Beats but wasn't all that crazy about them. I love some added bass and clarity. But really...when I have ear buds in I want to hear NOTHING else!
Any help would be great. ty!
i bought the headphones above. they work great! The sound is amazing. I can hear things that I couldn't hear with other earbuds. The control talk will work once I change to an iphone in May. SO until then...they are just great ear bubs

You're different from us, aren't you?
The Bose earbuds, although pricey, are fantastic. They even have 3 different sizes (all included with the purchase) of the part that goes in your ears. Stop into a bose store some time and ask them if you can hook your phone up to it.
Bose, Monster, and Skull candy are all poor quality for the money you spend (you pay for the brand, not the item).
I recommend these Sennheisers (Link: amazon.com/Sennheiser-CX200-Twist-To-Fit-Earbuds/dp/B001EZUQ5E because I can hyperlink) that are $24 currently (I got mine at FYE for $20). They're by far one of the best earbuds I've heard in the sub-$40 category.
If you are willing to shell out 70 dollars, you could get the klipsch s4 ear buds. They sound great, and they have 4 different ear bud tips. After getting sand and water in them, they still work perfectly.

+1 on the Klipsch S4's. I have a set and for the money, they are great. I had a set of Bose OE2 headphones that were $100 more than the S4 earbuds. After I bought the earbuds, I never used the headphones again. The S4's were superior in sound quality by far. At least to my ears. I ended up giving the headphones to my daughter.

The best bet for under $100 is the Klipsch Pro Media earphones with Mic. They are compatible with any Android device and the same build as the Klipsch S4. You will generally pay the same amount.
For high end, the UE TripleFi 10vi is also android compatible. For these, just buy the Triple V 10 and then buy the extra cable that includes the Mic for $30. This will save $100 over the 10vi with the exact same results.
Make sure you avoid any earphones with a three switch mic. These are only compatible with IPhoney.

Didnt see a mic on those phones, otherwise I would buy them. But dont get the wrong idea, Sennhieser is and will forever be awesome. My best friend's dad is an audio engineer and studio owner and he has a contract with Sennhiser. They are sweet!
But anyways, I got my skullcandy buds (with microphone) on the cheap from amazon (~$13). Ive been quite pleased with them. Im a pretty quiet talker and people Im taking to almost never have a problem hearing over the mic. The phones themselves do a great job of filling out the whole spectrum of sound. One thing that Skullcandies give me is enormous ear bud sizes. When Im studying I want everyone to shut the **** up; I dont want to hear anything I dont want to hear. Turn on some nice jazz and bam; total isolation!!
Im throwing in my vote for some Sol Republic amps. They aren't ridiculously priced like beats, and out perform them on every level besides the bass. I don't know if you prefer hifi over over powering bass. If you liked the beats, id definitely try these out!
Can't Agree

Don't know about the Sennheisers, but Monster, Bose, and Skull Candy are all decent headphones. I find that the more expensive sonys are quite good especially the sony x
They are even $100 off right now
Klipsch is good. A nice $100 pair of Klipsch compatible with Android, so you can use the toggles on it.
Been hearing that audio over bluetooth sounds better and have been wanting to NOT worry about dropping my Lumia every time I fish it out of my pocket to change a song. So, I've been searching the web over for a great deal on the BH-111.
Found it on Expansys-usa and it the black version just became available for $30.00 USD, while another black is 34.99 and the new colors ar 44.99. Of course, I went for the least expensive since I didn't actually need them. Shipping soon. Will report back on quality.

Audio over Bluetooth should sound worse, as it's compressed, but whether it will be noticeable to everyone, I don't know (I have an A2DP headset and it sounds OK to me).
Interested to hear more about them. Look great.
They just arrived. I've never used earbuds that fit into the canal. Wierd, like wearing earplugs. Sound is good. Better than my Sennheiser MX95. Probably because of the in-ear fit. Down the line, I'll invest in nicer ear phones. In the meantime, these are quite decent.
Sound, to my ears, is the exact same... wired or via bluetooth.
Oh... a few days ago one of the foam pads fell off on my Sennheiser. So, I removed the other until I could get replacements. The sound was horrendous. I understood the complaints people had. It was so horrid that I used local scout to find and call a few Radio Shacks that were still open and then got driving directions. Yeah, I LOVE local scout.
edit: I just purchased the Sennheiser OCX 880 for $34.99 (down from $60, down from $100+) to replace both sets that I currently have. Will see if I can make a few bucks on my MX 95 via online auction.
Update - after an ear irrigation today, I can definitely tell the difference between the BH-111 earbuds and the Sennheiser MX95. The Nokia earbuds aren't so great. Still loving the bluetooth though.
I used to have some old Skullcandy earbuds that I bought discounted in early 2012. Since then they have went out so I had to replace them and got ink'd 2 off Ebay. The pack I got did not come in the original packaging, so I'm not sure if they were fakes, but at any rate they were total junk and one earpiece was not working.
Do you have any recommended earbuds that work well and are priced around $20-25 max ? I use earbuds (corded), no muffs or cordless. Typically they get used pretty heavily at the gym so there's sweat, dropping, etc, etc...hence I don't want to spend too much on earbuds that will get roughed up.
I had some dual driver Xiaomi I bought, they are OK, but nothing too wild. The reviews were good so I was expecting something better, but they were not as good as my old Skullcandy ones.
Bluetooth earbuds are now in the $15-20 range. I personally got a taotronics pair from amazon that are no longer available apparently for $15. The sound is fine. The problem of course is that the battery is about 6 hours of sound and when you are done, you have to make sure you turn them off to save battery. But still, go for them. Not having a cord wrapped around your body is nice.

I'm still partial to Skull Candy's 2XL brand...I picked up a set of Spokes I believe they were called (the ones without a mic) for like $7- $11. Pair them with Viper4android and they're surprisingly good....they can handle more than my Sennheiser set it spent over $80 for.

Great information. Thanks for the heads up !

Got some SoundPeats from Amazon or $30! They since went down a LOT! You can get em for like, $16 or so. I got the SoundPeats QY9 but some claimed the QY8 had deeper bass. Not sure, but i love em! Bluetooth headphones.
The Sony Extra Bass sound pretty good, especially with V4A and Dolby Atmos. Also durable and comfortable. I've seen them on Amazon for $25-30.

Personally I use Aukee bluetooth earbuds and I love these! I got them at Amazon for about $25 or so. Really good sound. AUKEY EP-B24 Bluetooth Headphones. Android guys did a review on them but I think they understated them. If you use a music player with good EQ they rock. I like doubletwist for that.
Thanks for all the suggestions. I haven't been able to check out these yet as its been a busy time for me but I have lots of recommendations to look into. Thanks for everyone's input!

Well they actually just quit working on me this week. The battery no longer charges so they only work plugged in making them pointless. So, guess my reccomendation was premature.

Klipsch S4 for wired. I really like my Bluetooth Power Beats 2 (sweat and water resistant) with a little bass reduction.
For $25-$30 a set of AKG Y20U earbuds are hard to beat, hands down.
They tested really well against many other earbuds according to The Wirecutter.

I like mine, which live in a zip lock bag at the bottom of a soft briefcase. They roll out and work everytime, no problem. They're tough, crisp, deep, and CHEAP. They also have a built in mic and action button...

I didn't order the bluetooth earbuds. I tried the Ep c2 from aukey, and aukey was a very good advice. For 12 € on amazon together with arise soundmod I really do enjoy the sound of my Nexus for cheap money.
Thanks for the aukey advice :good:
