Hi,
I recently purchased a SX66 and so far love it!
However, I can't stand the earbuds that came with it. Are there any Bluetooth stereo headphones that will work on the SX66 for both music and the phone? Are there any pros or cons for your recommendation?
I have seen some reviews of the HP (iPaq) headphones, will these work? Do I need to upgrade anything, like Bluetooth?
Thanks in advance for any help,
mandolin
I would also like a stereo bluetooth headset, with call answer button. I dont imagine the quality will be very good though, because the datarate for bluettooth is pretty low when considering stereo.
Guys / gals, I’ve just posted a really cool comparison & roundup of three stereo BT headphones: the Nokia HS-12W the Plantronics Pulsar 590 and the Plantronics Pulsar 260 to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=1161097 . Make sure you don’t miss it if you’d like to choose a stereo Bluetooth headphones model or just would like to know more about A2DP – it’s a MUST for all A2DP fans!
Thank you very much for a well researched atricle on the A2DP standard as well as a few tests on BT Stereo Headsets.
I would like to support your findings on the Nokia HS-12W.
I have had mine for a while now and used it on the AKU 2.3 RSA 1.35 ROM, with mods to the registry as well as Sleuths A2DP fix. This worked surprisingly well with only the odd skips occuring.
The newer AKU 3.3 ROM's have sorted out the A2DP problems and the quality is now near perfect with good range as well.
However I have also purchased the HTC BHS 100 BT Stereo Headset and found this a bargain at the price.(also running AKU 3.3)
The price in South Africa is half that of the Nokia and the quality of the sound is virtually similar. But the HTC headset has an advantage.
The mike is built into the device which is smaller and lighter. The earphones use a 3.5mm jackplug, so it is possible to use your own earphones of choice. This really is great as the "pocket" now becomes the limiting factor to quality.
The range is good with unobstructed transmission up to 15 plus meters.
For travellers the advantage is that the adaptor(small) only needs to be taken with as this fits onto the Hermes mains charger.
A further advantage is that when using the oem earphones that are supplied, the left earphone can be unplugged, which will make motoring safer as ones' hearing is not impeded in traffic. It then becomes a mono BT phone headset.
The wait for this device was long in coming, but well worth it
I trust someone finds this informative.
Hi,
any audiophile Guru out there to suggest for a great headset - best audio quality possible - allowing for FM radio and music control to keep the touch HD in the case?
I am asking this since i realized that my JABRA BT620s does work reasonably well, WITHOUT wires being A2DP, but the price to pay in quality and radio is simply too big....

Well, if you are after sound quarlity, hehe, go for Ultimate Ear 10 pro.
some shure or sennheiser headphones.. they are the best. I have one of both.. different type of headphones..
shure is in-ear, and sennheiser are typical headset.
cheers.
I just bought the Jabra BT530, read great reviews of it.
But overall, they say if u want the BEST Audio Quality, then u should buy this :
Aliph Jawbone 2
try googling for a review on that, and u will get an endless list of them!
hope this helps!
Hi to all,
after some web googling, i decided to make a good but reasonable step and purchased the Shure Se110 (black like The Stone).
Not only the quality is stellar with respect to the standard headset, but it is pretty easy to wear and in particular the FM radio works very well!
The sound is pretty loud and incredibly balanced. they don't crackle even with the highest dynamic ranges...
It has only one defect, in some respect: you don't hear anything anymore, so make a good life insurance when you walk your dog...
When at home I use my Technics RP-F290 and while mobile I use my Sennheiser CX300.
I use these [BOSE] - found them to be excellent
http://www.bose.co.uk/GB/en/home-en...o-headphones/bose-on-ear-headphones/index.jsp
I see there is now a version designed for use with mobile phones - has a mike and some controls built into the lead
These will blow your head off
If you are an audiophile and want the best sound and build quality in the world regardless of the price :
WESTONE 3
Shure SE530
Ultimate Ears Triple.fi 10
DENON AH-D5000
AKG K 701
Grado RS-2
Sennheiser HD 650
Denon AH-D2000
Ultrasone HFI-2200
Monster Beats by Dr. Dre
Sennheiser IE 6
Bose® Mobile On-Ear Headset
Bang & Olufsen Earset 2
I VOTE FOR WESTONE 3
I've got Shure E2c for my "in move" devices. They sound quite good and didn't cost a fortune

I'm looking for a quality in-ear headset in the pricerange(with the same audio quality of course) of the Sennheiser IE6, but with a small microphone in it, like the original HTC-headset.
Is something like that in the market that is compatible with the HD? (so just for the 3.5mm output, no bluetooth)

google for:
WESTONE 3
Shure SE530
Ultimate Ears Triple.fi 10
Sennheiser CX 380 Sport II
Sennheiser IE 6
Thanks for the reply's!
@lipa47: The Shure's look great! Does anyone know how the SE210MPA sounds compared to the Sennheiser IE6? And how is the cable quality in therms of durability? I see that the Sennheiser uses kevlar cable's.
@Nobelove: Sorry but i don't see any microphone's in those models?
Hey, how are you?
My advice to you would be to think about the HTC RC W100 wired remote control. You simply plug it into your device and its 3.5mm stereo socket means you can plug in any headphones you like. The sound quality from the mike is superb. It allows to control the volume, Forward/rewind, answer/end calls etc...
With regard to headphones, I use x3 types. I have a set of the latest Bang & Olufsen ear set phones which clip over your ear and are comfortable. I use them while cycling/jogging in London – I can answer the phone while on the move + can still hear ambient traffic noise even when listening to music/radio on a reasonable volume...
For flying I use the very excellent noise cancelling Sennheiser pxc350's - I thought the 450's were a little too flashy and not worth the extra cash for the button to talk to the air hostess...
I also have a set of the much smaller noise cancelling Sennheiser pxc250's which are very good - the noise cancelling works fine but not nearly as good as the 350's.
I have done a lot of research into this subject and would say spend money on your headphones. Also, no matter how clean you keep your ears, putting the in-ear phones in place after using them the previous day is not always the most pleasant experience.
I hope this helps.
Rgs,
J

here you go
Sennheiser MM 50 iP
and for the rest you can use this adapter or use HTC RC W100 as justin advised.
and to answer your Q. Sennheiser IE6 is much better in sound quality
Thanks for the great reply's! I love this forum
In the last few hours I've read a lot of mini-reviews on the Shure's; half of them were negative in therms of durability and sound-quality(compared to other high-end in-ears). So the Shure's are off my list.
The HTC RC E100+Sennheiser IE6 looks like a great combi if the cable wasn't that long. The cable of the IE6 is 1.2 meter... So I think that I'll order the IE6 without the microphone, too bad that there isn't a good high end solution for this subject from Sennheiser... The Sennheiser MM50 are too low-end for me.
btw. The HTC RC W100 has been replaced by the RC E100. From what I can see is the only difference that the E100 got an headphone included.
Edit: I've just found the Etymotic Research HF2: http://www.etymotic.com/ephp/hf2.aspx
Does anyone have experience with this brand? It's completely new to me, but it looks like an great option.
If you are an audiophile and a first classer who cannot accept or go for any less than spectacular audio and Brilliant sound stage then stick with this list
WESTONE 3
Shure SE530
WESTONE 2
Ultimate Ears Triple.fi 10

I can say that I went through Sennheiser: mx400, cx300, px200, px100, and I finally sticked with Shure E2c. I use Sennheiser HD580 in home and I can say that in terms of durability and quality (cable etc.) those E2c are pretty good. Well maybe newer models are not that good By the way output in HD is not that good, there is lot of hiss.
Have any one tried the Sleek Audio SA6 In-Ear Earphones ???
How do they compare to WESTONE 3 and Shure SE530 ???
I do own the Plantronics Voyager 856, excelent bass!
You can use the BT headset mono or stereo by clipping of one earpiece.
I have just received my bluetooth stereo, is excelent, I recomend everyone to buy one.
its a bluetrek duo stereo, very good device, look up, wont regret it
Anyone got any experience with it?
Can't find any reviews in the internet nor in this forum.
Is the music quality good?
Does HD support AVRCP (nothing on their website but this can be an omission)
****, I dunno if I can answer all that for you..
I can answer if they are good or not, and well, I'm not a sound enthusiast, but I really think these are of high quality (for the price they go for).
Recently bought them and I have no problems at all!
Cheers, man. But I've already bought me some Westone wired headset.
I bought this Philips Bluetooth headset SHB9000 6 mths back...one of the best bluetooth headset ...The music quality is superb...use core player for music..u can get best of out of it...its worth the price...I can bet nothing can match to it...crystal clear music on wireless..so far I havent come across any issues with this headset.....any more questions about this... you can ask me, if you have any issues with pairing the headset...
Does it really fit over your ear though? .. it looks small in the images.
