Does anyone here use these headphones? I really want to purchase them and the reviews I found by google are pretty good. I just want to get someone elses opinion before I buy them. Thanks.

I bought these off a UK website for about £20! They work great on my Universal running AKU 3.2. I had to implement a few registry tweaks to stop all the skipping, but after all the tweaking, it now works perfectly.
Sound for music is excellent. Volume is loud. The quality appears a little lower for voice conversations, but on my Universal, it transitions seamlessly most of the time from phone to music modes.
Be prepared for all the little problems that might happen, which probably aren't exclusive to these BT stereo headphones. As you probably already know, most BT stereo headphones don't work flawlessly all the time. Mine's been behaving very well 99% of the time though!
Hrmmm...you know anyone who uses these with a Blackberry pearl. My gf has that phone (i know horrible) and she really wants these headphones as well. I just don't know how well blackberry's do with BT headphones and stuff
You could try THEIR forums

These should give you a starting point.
Have a lovely day,
I've used them before and honestly, the sound is okay but NOT GREAT.
Try this combination:
iTech stereo bluetooth + Sony MDREX71 earbuds... You won't regret it...

I have those earphones. They work allmost well.
Everytime I turn bluetooths on I must go to bt settings and activate headphones/headset or they wont work.
Sound quality is poor to my taste. But I hope there is something else to do with registry or stack.
I did that registry trick to bt value 58, but it sounds still like not enought hz. Like old radio or something.
But no wires and almost no skipping. I like it.
does any one have these and the s9 to compare it to them

Did you try pressing the MFB after bluetooth is turned on to initiate the connection?

I have been thinking about getting the Jabra BT3030 headphones for a few weeks now. Does anyone else here have any opinions on it?
Also, does anyone know of a bluetooth headset (for example like this jabra one) that can not only switch to next/previous track but also switch to next/previous ALBUM? I don't think the Jabra BT3030 dog tag can do that. Does anyone know?
Here is a picture of it.
And here is the user manual (pdf).

Danke! I liked the "bike riding" comment.
I'm really tempted to buy it.
well, i had it and sold it.
weak bt reception, and buttons where weak also.
used it with my former TYTN II and was a little dissapointed.
the idea and design are supercool tho, sorry that it not works as it looks.

Thanks. Good to hear your opinion. What do you use now?
got it but don't use it much - i tend to have the unit beneath my shirt so it's not on display, but that means if people call they can't hear you. Maybe i should give it another proper try - definitely a potentially good thing for a bike ride tho - can keep the mobile in a saddle pocket.
I have one. The stock headphones are awful and there is an annoying buzz between tracks. On a value for money scale I would give them about 8/10 though as they are not very expensive in the bigger picture of things.
If you want something pretty tough for wearing whilst your active it is fine. If you want something to listen to high quality audio through then forget them.
And I do not know of a single Bluetooth headset that will let you skip albums. But then you can always use Microsoft Voice Command for that.
Had it for a few days, then returned it to shop. As someone else said, the headphones are terrible, but you can change em. BT worked fine, but audio-booster doesn't work with BT, so you're stuck with "standard" settings(unless someone knows of an "audio-booster"-type program that works with BT?).
I use a similar headset for my Touch HD.
Samsung SBH650.

I have one.
I've tested about 10 models from otger brands before i've got them. Didn't found something simalar -
GREAT sound (it have integrated DSP proc), nice look, ability to connect ANY 3.5mm-jack headphones, really works as a remote (tested with CorePlayer, Pocket Music, s2p, WMPlayer).

Yeah, I'm happy with mine too. I ended up getting them a few months ago and I have no complaints. In my opinion, the sound is good - especially for the price range. The only thing that is lame is the plastic clip - it hardly holds on to anything and it seems it could break really easily. But I can live with that flaw.
~I've heard about this Altec Lansing Wireless bluetooth headset (903 and the 906) which looks pretty slick and if anyone is into audio, he would know the quality of altec lansing.
I am just wondering about its compatibility with the blackstone.
If anyone has tested it, could you just let us know ...
or maybe i myself will update this by buyin one very soon as I have great faith in altec lansing.

Standards
There are standards wich a bluetooth headphone has to follow. If this device is calling itself Bluetooth Headset it should support A2DP (For the audio data itself) and AVRCP (for control of the device: Play, Pause, Next etc.). A WinMO Phone is nearly always supporting both of them. (Even my Prophet does in WM 5, 6.1 and 6.5) so the Blackcomb should do so as well. When looking for Bluetooth Hardware check Jabra too....all my Bluetooth audio stuff is by Jabra.
i used to have a JABRA BT8010 - it was 'good', but the quality of the speakers was rather 'thinny', barely any lower frequencies, despite using the inbuilt DSPs equalizing features. not to mention that the ear-holders were rather a pain in the ass and cut into my ears. But as a true geek one takes it like a real techno-phile and lives with it.
The positive thing on the JABRA BT8010 was that it could link up to TWO sources at once. something i miss on the backbeat 903 - why's that important? cos i stream my desktop-PC's music library via bluetooth adapter into my ears while am in/around the house, since my PDA-phones 16gigs microSD can hold roughly about 1-2% of my VAST library of songs ;-)
anyhoo, i bought the BACKBEAT 903 and have to say that the sound quality is by far better. (BT 2.0+EDR and the rest of the music-/player-control protocols). the 903 can get really loud. the in-ear rubber-pieces can be removed but you loose a major portion of sound quality.
advertised is the battery lifetime by 7 hours...I'd guess it's a bit less but havent "timed" it yet.
hope it helps a bit further

Altec Lansing Backbeat 906 works great with blackstone, i got one today. bought on ebay. cost me something around 80bugs $. so bluetooth found Altec Lansing Backbeat 906 well, there was no problem at all. music quality is fantastic, even in talk. it takes calls with one touch on left ear, if you press longer it holds call...., every function works with blackstone. sound notification is clear...
just a great earphones.

Fitted the ear buds from my 2 day old CX200,s onto the stock HTC mic/earphones cable.
It was very easy to do and a great improvement over the standard phones.
I could never get the standard phones to stay in my ear properly and were very uncomfortable (small ears I guess).
Anyway here is the pic,s , let them do the talking

Great job! I was just going about to do this but at the plug end. I was going to connect the extUSB plug to my current headphones, but this is a lot better.
I will never doubt the reasons for the hacks people do...some just do it for the hell of it and I am all for that.
But....I have to ask: Why?
3n1 adapter...and no re-wireing.
But excellently cool that you did it...although it is not really clear what you did. Did you take the tiny ear speakers and put them in the stock headphone cases or...?

I have the 3in1 adapter, but I think it is to bulky when travelling on the train and I can not use the stock speakers as they keep falling out of my ear and they are uncomfortable for me.
What I have done, is remove the stock speakers from the stock cable and then fitted Sennheiser cx200(these are the in-ear type) speaker to the stock cable.
So now I have the best of both worlds, stock cable with mic, dont have to use bulky 3in1 adapter when out n about and better fit/sound quality for my ears.
did you get improved audio quality as well? or was it bottlenecked by the HTC wireing?

Well I am not sure about the wiring, I was talking about CX200 ear-buds sounding much better on the stock HTC cable, than the stock HTC earphones on the stock HTC cable.
I could hardly hear any low end sounds with the stock HTC earphones.
To me both cables sound very similar, maybe the HTC cable possibly not being just as loud, could be the in-line volume control or volume not being set right when being encoded to mp3.
The CX200 sound ok for budget range and my ears would not be the best for judging sound quality(years of extremely loud music - raves 1989 - 1995) and a bit of tinnitus.
Aha. Cool idea.
I have the same problem...small ears and the earphones are for some giant head.
I use some over ear buds with the 3in1 adapter.
Getting the bluetooth "dogtag" adapter in the mail shortly.
The Atrix headphones that came with the phone work fine. Including the Microphone, But its not so great quality in sound.
I've purchased an apple headset with a microphone... And I can confirm it does not work.

Anyone recommend a good pair of headset with mic for the atrix?

Sent from my MB860

ericjackson: All the controls work?
And all AT&T Atrix come without headset... Yes that sucks.

true, no controls work, but i thought the OP was just talking about the mic
and i dont think it works great, some people have complained they cant hear me. but they do that when im talking directly into the handset as well
Get the ibeats By Dr. dre they are a little expensive but worth every penny =)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7X9-hF77gVo
Yes they sound great.
But what we want to know is if the controls work with the Atrix!
well the mic does work but not the controls =(
I just received these today............I like the sound, and they'll be just what I need for 2-3 hour flights.
Also, tested the mic out by calling my wife, and it works great too!
Motorola Behind-the-Neck Bluetooth Stereo Headset Black Bulk (S9-HD) - OEM
All the controls work also!
Do we need the 3.5mm plug type or the headset with the micro usb connector in order to use the controls?
I tried out the Cheotech Wireless Headphones today with my Pixel. I charged the headphones before testing and here is my review.
What comes in the box:

1x - headphone
1x - charging cord
2x - other sizes for your ears
1x - pair of extra ear hooks.
Pairing the device:
The first time you turn on the headphones it will go into pairing mode. After you've paired it and want to put it into pairing mode, simply hold down the power button wait for it to notify that the headphones are one, continue holding the button and it will tell you that it is ready to pair. The headphones will appear as BH-003
Setup:
The setup on the Nexus Pixel and this headphone was simple - once it was pairing mode, I turned my phone's bluetooth on and waited about 10seconds for the phone to find the headphones and it paired and was ready to go.
Sound:
I played a few different genres of music - house, rock, rap/r&b and have to say that the sounds is clear. You definitely hear the vocals clearly( I was even able to hear the talking from "Give it up" by Pepper). Another big thing I noticed is it really pumps out the base if you your song has any bit of base in it. Some may like that, others may not. Just know that it will bump it regardless. I'm not sure about the noise cancellation with these headphones. I tapped my desk while playing music and didn't hear anything but that was also the case when I used some Shure Noise Isolation earphones.
Build:
The original ear piece fit my ears ok so I don't have any complaints but I don't have particularly big or small ears. It took a little bit to get the proper placement into my ear but once it was in there was a nice seal and it held in place. It's very lightweight and it didn't fall out when I moved around - though I didn't go any running with them.The earphones are rubberized so I'm guessing it is will stand up to sweat.
Overall, I'd recommend these headphones for working out - the music is clear but heavy base. The cord won't get in the way of your running or lifting. It's also nice a lightweight so you don't really notice it too much aside form the cord.
