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.

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'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.

Having switched from the iphone, one of the things I miss on the Note is the ability to control pause, skip and volume using a three-button remote.
Fortunately, I found a DIY on instructables which solves this problem. Today I was able to get it working and verified that it works on the Note (i717). I also tested on a friend's skyrocket, so I believe most Samsung devices will work.
Here's how to do it:
1. Get the iLuv remote from Amazon. It's about $5
2. open the middle pod of the remote using a knife or razorblade. I just used one of my kitchen knives (carefully).
3. solder on a 600 ohm and 220 ohm 0604 resistor as shown in the picture. make sure the orientation is right (use the white printing on the circuit board as a reference). It will not work if backwards.
4. test to verify it works. On the note, the + and - buttons control the volume. The middle button will play/pause.
5. snap the plastic case back on. I held it together with some heat shrink tubing.

did you not get any accessories with your note? I got headphones with my note that do exactly this function and though they're not great headphones i'm sure would be better then 5$ headphones lol... just sayin
cool that this works however!

$5 is for the remote and works with ANY headphones.
The included headphones are poor sound quality IMHO (I tried the headphones that came with my friend's skyrocket).

I agree, I got the Samsung freebie headphones with both my captivate and infuse, and I could care less that ATT chose to not include them with the note. If somebody can buy a brand new galaxy note but not a 20 dollar pair of ear buds that sound halfway decent, something is wrong in this world. Haha.

Sorry to revive this but are their any FULLY android compatible headsets with working volume control?
I can solder but honestly would prefer not to.

Buy some cheapo 5-10$ ones to test on.
I know I'm asking for a lot but I also want over the ear (not over the head DJ) or clip style. I read the headphone threads here in their entirety but nothing addressed my specific needs. I don't need anything fancy and to give you an idea, here's what I've been using for years now:

As you can see I'm not an audiophile when it comes to headphones. I bought my first pair of these about a dozen years ago and bought them for use under a motorcycle helmet. The look like they would be uncomfortable but surprisingly they are more comfortable under a helmet than ear buds which are smaller.
I digress.
I want something that is similar in design to these but I want an inline mic and music controls. I would like to be able to answer/end calls, play/pause music and skip forward & backwards. What I'm finding is that lots of these earphones won't control the Android phones fully. It sounds like some include free apps that will bring full functionality to the Android OS. For instance, these Philips earphones say they will do all sorts of snazzy things with the free app but the question is do these apps that manufacturers offer allow you to keep whatever music playing app you use? For instance, I use Google Music to stream all my music as my primary player so will this app work in union with this app? I would rather spend less but if these work as advertised I don't mind spending that much to get something that does what I need it to do. Here is another option for about 1/3 the price as those Philips but I don't know if they will work on the Android as it lists iPhone and Blackberry and I know some have issues.
I know someone will try to recommend more expensive headphones but if it's strictly for sound quality, I really don't care to spend more money to be honest. Look what I've been happy with for the past decade or so. Just looking for the cheapest corded headphones that meet my needs here.
Thanks!
I bought a Roman Bluetooth headphone from amazon, its $35. I thought it was cheap for what it can do and sounds !

Thanks for the heads up. I bought some Beats Tours at Best Buy today to get me through my trip I leave for in a few hours. Naturally $150 is WAY more than I planned to spend so I also ordered some knock-off Beats headphones that were around what you told me to search for. I plan to compare them side by side when they arrive and if the real headphones are 10x better I will keep them. This isn't likely but if the difference really is that big I'll keep them. So far I'm underwhelmed but haven't had too much of a chance to use them. I basically plugged them in long enough to install the free app 'Jays Headset' to configure it. Now, even though I only have the one button I have FULL controls of my phone and it appears to work flawlessly with limited testing I did. I may revisit this thread later on but for now I think I've got what I need. As I said in the OP I wanted clip style so if I decide I hate these in-ear style (possible) I will start fresh trying to find some more clip over the ear style.
just got my HTC Boombass today,
its sound is great but have to turn the volume up
or you can only hear the Boomsound clearly instead of the Boombass.

wooow looks nice
are you going to make a review about it later or is it just a bragging post ?
clearly a bragging post. :good:
someone in this forum also has the boom bass and has spoken about it already as well...
i have had one for a couple weeks now but didnt bother to speak about it because there are several vids on the internet about it... one more wont make any difference..
it does sound great with soundcloud. i have a grippy kind of case (waiting for the batter case i pre-ordered) so it stays put on the slide out floor thingy..
having the audio at max setting is the best way to get the most bang for the sound.
the crossover point could be a bit lower because you can hear some voice tones in the bass speaker.
overall its a great option to have tunes on the fly... go pick one up!

Greetings!
I am actually considering picking up one of these puppies!
I have my One Max encased in an OtterBox Defender case. It's rather thick... do you think it will fit on the stand or will it hang over the edge?
Thanks!
it will most likely hang over the edge.
i have the htc battery flip case and it will not fit on the boombass stand, so i just flip the phone landscape and place it right in front of the htc boombass and dont use the slide out drawer for the boom bass. same difference...
Some can tell me if the sound is really good before buying it ? I tried this one with friends, very good sound, but the price is more expensive than Boombass ...
no way my friend the Bose is perfect in every product it has fantastic audio quality
i tried it
Ok thanks, i order now BoomBass ...
:laugh:great order one for me and send it to me in Egypt :good:
I received boombass, really a great sound, but i've also bought an audio bluetooth receiver connected to my audio system to party with my friends !
I got a BoomBass and I really like it. Very decent sound. The only thing I don't like about it is that I can't really play with my phone while it's on, because it sounds better when it's set with the BoomBass instead of in my hands.
But it's a pretty slick device. To turn it on and pair it with your phone you just hold you phone over the top, and it activates via NFC. Kinda cool.
