Introduction
I was looking for a decent A2DP bluetooth headset for quite a while, and my requirements were simple.
Ability to use my own earphones
With a decent display
Looks somewhat stylish
Simple to use
Good sound quality
Good battery life
There have been quite a lot in the market, specially from SE, Motorola, but some things just didn't fit right for me. The popular SE-DS970 had really terrible battery life, the Motorola S705 had everything going for it, but it was too huge. Many other sets had no display or just too unsightly.
After walking around SLS for a while, I chanced upon a store advertising this SonicGear A2DP adapter. Needless to say, after trying it out, I walked out of SLS with it.

The box design was kept very simple, and it came with your standard fare of accessories. A charger, miniUSB cable for charging and flashing your headset if there is a new firmware, and a generic in-ear earphones.
What can I say? It's pretty stylish. There are a total of 3 controls on the headset to keep it simple, a miniUSB slot at the side, and a switch behind this adapter.
Functionality
My test bed with be the official WM6 ROM for the Dopod 838 Pro with WMP with bitpool at 52, max 80.
Once it's switched on, you will be greeted with the brand name on their impressive OLED display.
The display will show everything. Status, battery life, volume, all will be shown on this fantastic display.
Now for pairing. How easy is it? Switch it on, press and hold onto the button with the BT sign, and just let it sync! It pairs within seconds, and with the display you do no need to be able to read alien LED lights or guess anything.
Sonic Gear integrated the fast foward/rewind functions into the volume button, which I think is a pretty good idea to save space for the display. Holding the + button will activate the fast forward function on your phone of choice, and the - key will activate the rewind function. Pretty neat!
Battery life was fantastic, lasting 5-6 hours for playing music. This was on the first charge, and it would probably be able to do better.
Sound Quality
I'm very picky with sound quality and won't settle for something that sounds terrible. Fortunately the SonicGear didn't disappoint when I paired it with my Mylar XB. Bass was good, there was a bit of crackling when it's too loud (Probably due to the player) but it sounded good. It sounded better than the DS970 I tested.
Conclusion
It's a very good buy if you can get it at a good price, and I would recommend anyone looking for a headset without FM radio to get it. Good price, good display, and excellent SQ, makes it a very easy choice to make.
Website
Unfortunatly, it seems this product is impossible to find in europe.
Do you remember the name of the shop where you bought it?
Can you display artist and titles on the screen?
May i know what is the defauly passkey for this Blue2 SR300? I need to have 0000 default passkey for me to pair with my sony walkman bluetooth adaptor
Nice review! I'm also looking for a BT stereo headset and not sure yet which one to buy. So the "+" "-" and "BT" are the only hardware buttons? So what happens when press "+" or "-" just once? It changes the volume? But how do you skip a track then? Thnx!

You hold the +/- key to skip forward/backwards a track. To adjust the volumes, just press it as per normal.
Can you both skip tracks and ff/rew within the same track? Also, where can you buy these online?
How do they sound with the supplied headphones? I read the DS970 also last for around 6 hours, what was your experience?
I have never been able to find these for sale online (or in any stores here in Cleveland, Ohio, USA). However, this looks exactly like them - except it has a different name on it.

$57 sounds like a good deal!
I have small issue with SR300 which I am using it to connect to my Samsung S5 mp3 player with bluetooth. I am connecting SR300 to normal earphone so it becomes bluetooth earphone to listen to my mp3 player.
Once the samsung S5 is paired with SR300 bluetooth receiver, the volume control on S5 will not affect the volume output from SR300, so I have to adjust the volume from SR300 if I want to adjust volume output from SR300. The volume adjustment on S5 is affecting only the volume output on S5 (I have verified this as I can hear the sound output from S5 is changing when I adjust the volume on S5). So it is as if the volume adjustment on S5 and SR300 is totally independent from one another.
While skipping track forward and backward works both on S5 and SR300.
Is that the way AVRCP works?
Can someone try to see if this also happens on PDA - SR300 pairing i.e. the volume from SR300 can only be changed from SR300, not from the PDA?
Sonic Gear SR300
The device is quite awsome comparing to my previous ITech Clip D. The display was helpful to view & yet better compre to the others (within the same category).

Hey fellow wing users,
I'm residing in Southern California and they recently passed a law that hands free headsets are required as of July 1st,2008. Just wondering what everyone is using to see what my options are.
If you can please post Brand and Model and where you got it

Yeah im in the military and on any military installation you are required to use hands free. I use a Motorola T505 for in car, it has a pretty loud speaker and can be played through your radio. I use a BlueAnt Z9 for in ear bluetooth. They are both pretty damn good and can be found on Newegg dot com.
Good post
I use the Jawbone its good !!
looking for good excuse to buy new one one plus is the noise cancellation option works
i have first version one new ones thiner
http://www.jawbone.com/
thanks for the replies. both are very good. the jawbone looks nice but how does it function? i'm trying to compromise looks and functionality as much as i can
noise-canceling technology is great
here a good place for some reviews of different ones
it hot don't want to type 104* off to pool
i use the big clunker
http://www.welectronics.com/Bluetooth/motorola_ht820.jpg
but i love it.. when im on the bus i hear no sound when i have the volume up at a good level.. if i want ot hear i lower it and can hear almost everything and my music
there big there ugly
i use them for 45 minutes to a hour a day and charge then every 3 weeks..
but thye are kick a$$
I use Tritton TRI-BH102 it has been pretty good to me. Battery life is 4hours+ constant stream range is limited to 10' anything more than that is most likely to disconnect. The thing I like about it is the 3.5mm jack.
I use the Jabra BT250v for talking. It's not the one in the link, but it looks just like it. It's the loudest and clearest one I've found in the store. It's very comfortable despite the way it looks. I've forgotten that I was wearing it quite a few times. It has an earpiece that goes into your ear and it sounds like the caller is standing next to you. I talk for about 3 hours a day, and I charge it once a week. It was $50 at Best Buy. I liked the SE HBH-610 more, but I don't think they make them anymore. I've heard really good things about all the Plantronics, but they were too expensive for me.
I use the SouthWing SA505 for stereo music. It's loud, music sounds good, and the battery last for months. I use it in the gym for 2 hours a day, 6 days a week, and to talk when I forget to charge my Jabra. I charge it about once every other month, but it's never actually died on me so it could probably go longer. And it was only $23 with shipping on eBay!
I have one by caselogic, a CLST-100
It cost $16 on double clearance, and it works about as much as it costs.
But the fact of the matter is that it works
I'm using both Jawbones (new and original) I find the new one to be more comfortable
man some dope head phones here, made it even harder for me to choose lol .. i was going to stick with a simple motorola but dam hahaha i have more options now
thanks guys keep em coming!
Out of the few BT headsets I have I find I really only use my JVC HAW700BT set anymore. It's got a stereo jack so I can use whatever headphones I like and when not on the phone I can move the main body of it to my belt. This one can also connect to your car stereo if it's got an Aux input and you can use it as a hands-free set. The battery life is excellent... at least for me.
The only "con" for me is that the charger's connection at the bottom of the main body isn't miniUSB, just some plain two pin connector. Gonna make my own adapter for it so I can charge on the go.
http://www.gadgetell.com/tech/comment/jvc-intros-new-bluetooth-transmitter-and-headset/
I haven't looked to see if it's more common now. When I got mine i had a very hard time finding anyone who even had it in their computer, much less in stock, and it wasn't on JVC's site either.
I use the jabra bt8010 stereo headset. I'm simply in love with this thing. the sound quality is outstanding. I find myself using my wing for music more than my ipod because of the headset. If your wearing both pieces phone calls sound as if you are in the same room with the person. check ebay they used to go for between 90.00 and 110.00$$ but now you can find them for as low as $40.00. Now if I could only figure out how to setup my voice command to be used on te headset?
I use a Motorola. Excellent sound quality, And compatible with A2DP ( Music via Bluetooth thing ).

i was looking into this one because of the simplicity of it. right now it seems like the best bang for the buck.
I use the Motorola H700 with no problems
Motorola H700 for me to very good, talking on phone is good, music sounds good ... MSVC sucks big time, i got mine off ebay for 22 bucks
I have the cheapest Jabra I could find in the shop, 10 UK pounds.
It's rubbish. I bought it just to try how bt headsets work.
Interestingly (although maybe I'm the last one to find out), using the attached cab I can send all sound through it whether it likes it or not (it would only work when there's a call otherwise).
What is the model number for Motorola BT head set
Hey guys, been digging through the threads and found a couple on earphones, though not exactly what I was looking. Looking for your opinions on best earphones with a microphone for about $35-$65. Comfortable, preferably in ear design. Hoping for a pretty good microphone so that people can actually hear me, especially outside, though I don't want the mic to be huge (that's one thing I liked about the stock headphones till they broke; the mic was discrete). Also, I would prefer one of the earphones to be longer than the other so that I could have them hang around my neck when not in use. All opinions welcome.
So far I've looked at:
Sennheiser MM50
MetroFi 170vi
-Thanks
Hi,
You can try
remote control with HTC ExtUSB
which has: mic+vol up/down+fward/bward
and 3.5 connector
and get an CX 95 style
I order this combination and they are on the way.
Check my post if you need details

I can barely find anything on those headphones. Do you know if one side is longer than the other? (aka, is it an around the neck design?)

Does this headset works the same way as the htc headset that was supplied with the phone?
thanks for the picture. Too bad it's not an around the neck design. And yes, I believe all the headsets will work like the original one. Though I should note that none of the headsets will give you extra functionality like changing songs/volume, but you can still pick up/hang up calls.
I brought a nokia headset hs47 and that does not work well with HD
Personally I use Sennheiser MM50 headphones which has excellent quality

I was just about to buy those last night but then I saw that there were alot of fakes floating around and didn't want to get ripped off. Also, I found reviews for the "nuforce ne-7m" and they're all extremely positive. Everyone saying that they're better than the MM50, though, unfortunately, they're not around the neck design. I still ended buying them, if I don't like them I'll just return it and get the MM50s.

Got them on tues (very fast shipping as monday was a holiday). First of all, I'm no audiophile but here's my best 'imho.' Compared to the stock headphones, well, you really can't compare them. It's like listening to music in 3D; there's depth to the sound. The mic is in a good position and tiny. So far, everyone has said that they've had no problem hearing me and I've never heard the wind blowing in my earphones (which use to happen all the time on the stock ones). They block out sound very well and don't disrupt others since you can't hear the music unless u have them on/are really really close. If you turn up the volume (on the HD) all the way up, it gets ridiculously loud, but remains high quality. The cable is nice and long (sometimes that's an issue for me since I'm like 6feet 4in (1.93m). Extremely comfortable!
Cons(?): Not around the neck design. 'Bent' (L shaped) jack vs the stock straight jack. The sound carries through the wire into the headphones when they hit/touch something (like a zipper on a sweatshirt); however I think this might be true on all in-ear headphones? If anyone can comment on that, especially on the MM50 in that scenario.
3 other notes: It has one of those sliders were the line separates into the right/left headphone to help keep them from tangling. Came with a pouch and 3 other sized ear pieces. It has a 'clip' to clip the headphones to a piece of clothing so that they don't bounce around.
If you have any other questions or I missed something let me know and I'll try and get it answered for you.

Good review IMO. Sounds similar to MM50, though lacking around the neck design would put me off them.

I think this combination does not work with the Blackstone.
All others should probably check out this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=502881
Ther is an application that allows you to play/pause and play the next track with the button on the headphones.
I know nobody asked for it but i think its quite practical
I would like to get some advice on which earphones I should get for the X10... I would like them for music... not too fussed if they have a mic or not...

They also have a black version. These earphones are pretty cheap ( I bought them for 20 euros, they sound good , nice deep tones and bass)
Ouch, Sennheiser. They make great headsets but for me those bass-tones is way too much. Personally I use d-Jays. Crisp yet powered sound. I love them. Edit: Forgot price. Lol. In Sweden I can get them for about $100 and that's pretty nice. But yeah, it's way more than €20.
Looking to get a set of BH-905's when I get a free bit of cash!
Seemingly I cant post a link to them as thats not permitted for newbies
Just to help you out, here's a pic of them.
Are you guys able to speak into the phone's Mic when using your own earphones during a call? Mine can't and I have to plug them out when a phone comes in.
Im thinking about getting the CX500 earphones... got a price of £29.99... which seems to be good...
I want to have bassy sound but want my mids and trebles...
I am currently using boss earphones...
CX500's sound good. I can't remember what mine are, but they are Sennheisers that have exactly the same buds as the Sennheisers Sony Ericsson use on their HBH-DS970 bluetooth headphones.
For arguements sake, the DS970's go louder than when using the headphone socket on the X10, but the headphone socket sounds nicer.
Been doing some comparisons Nexus vs X10 vs iPod Touch 3G with the same headphones.
Nexus goes louder than X10, quality doesn't sound as good, but it's rooted with Cyanogen which makes the volume louder.
Touch goes a lot louder than both devices, enough to hurt my ears, but does so with high quality. I can't decide whether or not the quality is better than the X10, it's very close.
My headphone tastes are bias towards bass, but I do like the mids and treble to remain...just like to have a thump also!

Is it a european or american touch?
The european union puts a volume restriction on the iPods sold in europe, therefore an american (or asian or whatever) iPod Touch would be louder than a european one.
(just thought that might be a factor in the volume department)
Not all european iPod's are subject to such measures IIRC. I know france is, and it is something I checked before purchase, as a 85dB limit would have been no good!

I can't wait to get mine. I sent in the Rogers promo claim form on Monday, so it'll be a few weeks at least.
I'm using the included X10 headphones right now, which are decent. I'm surprised that for earbuds that don't go into the ear canal, they actually stay in my ears pretty well (most such earbuds I've tried don't).
I did take a quick look at the local shopping center today while I way there for some buds that wrap over the ear, as I find them more comfortable and they stay in my ear better. However, I couldn't find any headphones of any style that had short cords like the ones included in the X10. Since the X10 has the mic dongle (which I use) I don't want to have an extra few feet of cable hanging around.
Anyone found any decent headphones that are on a short cable like those included with the X10?
I am using MW600 too.
I find the volume control is not that sensitive.
I have to swipe a couple of time before I can get it working.
Is it normal?
First of all, this is my 2nd hands-free Bluetooth device (my 1st was a [Nokia BH-900] that barely worked on my PC but worked well on my N95).
Ever since the day I got my HTC Hero, I really missed using a wireless headset to listen to music/internet radio.
Thankfully, one day I saw what I wanted and it was for a great price! ($39.99 USD)
Okay, enough with my rambling, time for the good/bad stuff:
*Since every retailer who sells these always lists specs and box contents, I won't bore you with the same boring thing.
Pros:
+Once paired, it connects easily with my HTC Hero [Elelinux-7.1.0-RC1-Hero-v3.1], Macbook Air, PC [Vista Business/Windows 7 Professional] laptops. Obviously, not all at the same time.
+Has multiple earbud accessories for numerous ear sizes.
+Does not have a goofy blue flashing indicator.
+Once on your ear, it won't come off unless you want it to.
+You can use your own headphones in conjunction with the headset.
+The 3.7V, 100mA gives about ~6 hours of continuous use (videos and music).
Now for the very short list of the negatives...
Cons:
-The entire unit is housed in a cheap plastic shell (my unit fell to pieces when I received it [2 little dabs of glue quickly fixed this])
-Even though this unit is the same standard size as the newest headsets in the market, it feels a bit heavy. I think this is due to the fact that I don't use it everyday and I have weak ears canals.
-The "text-to-voice" software in the Android marketplace is worthless with the HTC Hero.
Although a lot of the functions can't be used on the Hero (text-to-speech messages/email/time, headset locator, etc), you probably could use it on other phones/devices.
If you have a HTC Hero and want/need a wired/wireless headset, buy this unit! It has everything you'll ever need. Period.
Finally, since I only use this as a wireless headset, I never tested the microphone quality. I still haven't developed the backbone to wear this out in the public .

http://sellout.woot.com/ has it for $29.99 today. Anyone else have this and want to comment on their experience? Most of the reviews on Amazon are poor.
Hi CGeyser, could you please check with the manual and advise what's the frequency range of the HM6450 (regarding the audio playback)? I try to identify that online but got no clues anywhere.THX
BTW, how's the noise reduction with its dual-mic?
The manual doesn't say anything about any frequency range of the phone and audio playback. It only shows pairing instructions and liability statements.
I use my wired stereo headphones in conjunction with the headset (my ear canals are sensitive to the weight of BT headsets). I can clearly hear the caller and they can hear me as well. It eliminates the majority of background noise while allowing you to hear/to be heard. This configuration isn't very convenient, but it allows you to use the device without looking like a goofy businessman/businesswoman.
I have yet to use the BT headset by itself so I can't attest to the audio/mic quality.

Thanks CGeyser. Your input is already doing much more help than Samsung's support (like you said, nothing indicative could be found from their manual)
Job21, just curious, why do you want to know the frequency range?
I imagine that its the same if not similar to other BT headsets already out in the market.
Are you worried that it'll interfere with your wireless network(s)? If so, you should be able to easily change your router's settings.

sorry for confusing u.
for frequency range i was referring to the headsets output (bass to treble) to earphone.
since i'm planning to get a quality pair,and hope hm6450 would get me a wider range and best utilize the earphone
ps i finally manage to identify user manual of each hm6450 / hm3700 /hs3000 from 3 diff site of samsung worldwide, what a good support
Hmmm...as of now, I don't know of any BT headset that'll allow you to directly change the bass & treble on-the-fly. Maybe with some software on your phone "might" be able to change it (virtually/simulated).
On the headset, you can only change the volume and the device(s) it gets paired to.
As it is now, the sound quality is excellent as any good BT headsets get. Not as good as as my wireless Sennheiser headphones, but still very good.

I was thinking if this HM6450 or someother BT headset would allow most of the original signal to feed to the earphone (just checked, it should be frequency RESPONSE indeed).
But like you said, there should be standard output among different brand and gives no big difference at all.
Sorry I couldn't help you as much as I could. I'm not really an audiophile.
I ended up getting this Anker Portable Speaker after some great reviews on Amazon. I've had a couple generic no names that broke or blew out quickly.

The MP141 is very nice looking and super easy to pair. The speaker is very heavy-indicating a large magnet, and has a nice matte rubber exterior. There is a micro USB charge port, aux stereo jack and a charge light indicater. Apart from thevolume switch, the buttons operate the speaker. Volume up/ down and a play/pause. All the parts appear to be of the highest quality. Most importantly, the sound is very rich. I use it in my office which is about 12 X 12. I can walk out about 15-20 without losing connection. What's more impressive is I can still hear it well out side. Unfortunately the unit does distort at the highest volume- but most speakers do. The company boasts 20hrs. I have used mine for over 25 and is still going!
The speaker also has a microphone to answer incoming calls. The mic. quality is good and almost none of callers could recognize I was using the speaker. There is also a sound that indicates a successful connection or incoming call. One drawback is that for some reason, this notification sound is always super loud-regardless of the volume seting on the speaker. It can be startling if you have the speaker volume low. Overall I am very pleased with this product and feel comfortable recommending it to anyone looking for a high quality speaker without the high end price.

I bought a Jawbone Big Jambox about 1 year ago. Absolutely LOVE it! Incredible sound, battery life, call quality on both ends, etc. There isn't a single thing I can say bad, or even slightly negative, about it. I highly recommend it to anyone who has $300 to spend on bluetooth speaker!

Did I mention this one is only $35?
I think it's a great product for the price. :sly:

+ 1!! Terrific speaker..
The JBL Flip is amazing.
The sol deck is my favorite by far. Made by sol republic with motorola. It has an audio in port and audio out port comes with aux cable. The look and feel of it is great, and sounds amazing. It actually has bass too. Also the connectivity is very long range

I'm using a regular Jambox (not mini, not BIG) and I really like it. Honestly the sound is great for it's size and the battery is superb. Paid 85.00 for it on eBay.
There are now a LOT of players in the bluetooth speaker market.
If I were buying now I would make sure I got one with bluetooth 3.0 or higher, Apt-X, and ideally NFC also. Some degree of protection from the elements is included with an increasing number of these too, well worthwhile if you can get it with the other features and within your budget.
Braven have some very nice ones, I have the 850 which has Apt-X, BT 3.0, 20 hour battery life (or less if you want to use it to charge devices, it has a 8,800mA battery inside that charges at 2A), stellar build quality, very good sound. They also have a smaller form factor one, the 710 that adds the NFC and splash/dust resistance.
I also have the Loewe Speaker 2Go, which is the best I have ever heard and has BT 3.0 and Apt-X and NFC and an 8 hour battery (again one that can be used to charge other devices, although that is less practical than with the 850 as the battery capacity is much smaller).
there's two which i've purchased. the first is the tdk life on record:
http://www.amazon.com/TDK-Life-Record-Wireless-Weatherproof/dp/B008VMT2HQ
this speaker gets LOUD and doesn't distort in the higher volumes. for the price, it's a VERY GOOD speaker. it's weatherproof so if you're active and need something that can be taken to the beach or beside the pool, this is the speaker for you.
it has an audio in port for non bluetooth devices, a usb port for charging your phone / mp3 player, and is usable as a speaker phone. even though it's small in size, the speaker has some weight... which is generally a sign of good materials used and good construction.
i would've kept that speaker if i never heard my current speaker. the sony srs-btx500:
http://www.amazon.com/Sony-SRSBTX500-Portable-Bluetooth-Wireless/dp/B00B2G3R5G
i don't need my speaker to be outside, it's just indoors. as far as sound... this has enough bass to make it enjoyable, without it being overpowered. with some speakers it's just ALL bass. you get no lows, mids, or highs. you can hear everything on the sony. there's different audio modes (normal, bass boost, and bass boost w / surround). depending on what i'm listening to, i switch the sound mode.
the speaker has nfc, it's bluetooth compatible (of course), has an audio in port for non bluetooth devices, has speaker phone capabilities, and also a usb port for charging your phone / mp3 player.
the one thing i LOVE about the speaker is the surround sound. no matter where i place it, i hear equal sound in both ears. normally when you place the speaker on the left hand side, you can tell that's where the speaker is. with the sony, i can place it on the left or right hand side of my desk (where i keep it) and the sound is equal. really amazing.
