Which BT earpiece for my Pro? - Touch Pro CDMA

Guys I need to purchase another bt. Been using my Treo bt and it's getting kinda old. Read too many opinions on what works best. Thought about the Jawbone 2 but I hear it is too low. What is working well witih you? Thanks

I'm using the Jabra BT8040. Works like a dream. I had the first jawbone, and don't care for another. PITA.

Blueant V1
I just bought one for my pro, the head piece is the best fitting unit I have ever owned, the head set is also voice controlled

I'm also interested in one too.
Haven't used one in over a yr, use to have a moto bt but it was a pos.

Jawbone2 all the way. I have had no complaints with it at all. My girlfriend would always get mad at me when I would talk to her over the pone on my bluetooth because she could hear all the background noise. Now she doesn't even know I am using a bluetooth. As for the volume no complaints. I did install a cab file to fix the speaker volume and I think they said something about bluetooth in there also.

Blueant V1 All the Way!
I've owned both the Jawbone 2 and Blueant V1. While the Jawbone has slightly better noise reduction, it has to be plastered to your face to work. No such problem with Blueant. V1, and it is voice controlled.

Guys if I go with any of these headsets where would I get the correct cab file for the volume that you have used that works and it doesn't still need to be tweeked? For those that have used the Jawbone do you have problems keeping it close to your face? For the others that use another BT device do yo have background noise issues and is the volume acceptable with or without the cab file up\grade? Thanks for the replies thus far

I use Motorola H9 MiniBLU Bluetooth Headset. I love it. I haven't had any background noise issues. didn't have to use any .Cab. I got it right from Sprint.com
http://nextelonline.nextel.com/NASA...ID=HBX3520R_C&topPageNumber=0&subPageNumber=0
It was on sale for $70 but isn't anymore. One of the coolest things about it is it has its own battery charger that you can put it in when your on the go and it will charge it with out being plugged in.

I haven't had any problems with the Jabra either. No background noise. Amazingly no static. I've even streamed audio from the kitchen counter to the deck with no problems (about 20 ft through two walls and a glass door).
The battery life seems to be very good. I charge it about every 3rd day with moderate use.
I also have not installed a .CAB file for the audio. I did however use the "Diamond Tweaks" prog to enable louder audio, which is probably all the .CAB file does.

Plantronics Voyager 855.
Can be switched between mono and A2DP stereo.

Jawbone 2 is working aces for me. No complains at all.

Yeah Jawbone 2 FTW!

I Work for a major Retailer and I've gotten to test many headsets with my Touch Pro during hour long conference calls, I think that the Jabra BT530 is one of my favorites; A2DP, 8 different Ear Gel's, optional ear loop, a great headset for those that get tired of that same old feeling on the ear.
Jabra BT530:

The BlueAnt V1 is also a very good choice. Very good quality, both foam and gel ear tips, and it has the ability of firmware updates! What's not to love?!
http://www.myblueant.com/v1_voice_control.htm

I use the first generation Jawbone, and works great!

I've used jawbone / jawbone2/ plantronics 955 and now the blueant v1. The blueant is the best of the bunch for me. Jawbone has a tendancy to rotate away from your face and fit was always difficult even though they gave you multiple earloops/gels (kind of tells me right there that fit may be an issue). Plantronics 955 was nice and compact but blueant is the most comfortable and is extremely clear. The voice activation is a nice plus but I find I do not use it much as I use ms voice command to reach all my contacts instead of just the contacts in my speed dial list.

I'm using the Moto H15. Functionality wise, couldn't be happier. My wife says that it is the clearest she's ever heard me on any headset. Design wise, I hate the clip. It's secure, the headset fits well and comes with additional molded ear pieces to customize the fit. But the plastic clip is a beast to remove. I'm always afraid I'm going to break or mangle it.

I had a Palm 800w and used the Plantronics 925 on it, sold it and bought my Sprint Touch Pro and still use it and it has always worked great for me.

i tried 3 different types of bluetooths on my sprint touch pro and everyone says i sound underwater also had 3 different pros. i even did a firmware update for my blueant v1. i am using my corded headset for now. are there any cabs to help with this? i saw a volume cab but i do not need this.

J2 no doubt, whatcha mean it isnt loud

Jabra bt 8010 works like a dream for me plays the music and video audio through the earpiece and call quality is great, battery life last 10 hours long its a great earpiece id highly recommend

Hermes/Motorola S9 users, how are you finding the S9 headsets with your handsets?

Are you guys having any problems with stereo sound quality playback or
sound quality (both ends) during calls?
I'm getting a black Jawbone for handling calls but I would like to be able to
listen to music or watch video on the commute to and from work without
having the 'train/subway' in my head.
Is the S9 from Motorola good at pairing up with the Hermes (X01HT in my
case) and holding the connection? Do all the remote features on the S9 headset
work with the S9/Hermes pairing?
Thanks in advance for any advice you may have.
hey man. the s9 are great...the best stereo headset hands down! its like jaw dropping. the controls on the side is very sensitive. its not like an actually button besides the talk/end button. the audio controls are like touch control. HOWEVER, the actual headset for phone calls is horrible...most stereo headsets use both sides to listen to the caller...however this one only allows hearing the caller on the LEFT ear...that is the only downside. if you're coming from the jawbone...it is night and day...but for music/video purposes its great. i use it for my ipod now

Cool, I was worried about stereo sound quality over BT since BT isn't known
for great sound quality to begin with. I have heard that the S9 are only
average for calls but that's going to be the Jawbone's job.
So all the button features like answer/end, volume up/down, play/pause
and forward/back tracks all work with the Hermes based phone?
I love the S9. the audio and the controls all work wonderfully.
The phone aspect isn't really good, it picks up a lot of background noise and it can be a bit difficult to annunciate into it.
As a music headset it is GREAT. great sound. Louder than it needs to be and great frequency range
I use the S9 quite a bit. The sound quality is fantastic and the volume can get quite loud. You'll often see me at starbucks listening to streaming internet radio with my S9/8525.
As far as call quality, it's not too bad. you only get call audio out of the left earbud, since the mic is in the right one. There's pretty good compression going on with the mic, so you really don't have to raise your voice at all. However, callers on the other end complain about background sound if I'm in a noisy place, so use it accordingly.
( I use the JawBone also, especially for long calls where background noise would be unacceptable. )

Louder than needed is always better than "I wish it could be louder". I was
hoping that it would not be underpowered. Thanks for bringing that point up
as I didn't read that in any of the online reviews out there. Plus, I always
think those reviews aren't so 'real life' anyways. Here on XDA-developers
you get the 'actual real life' reviews with no worries that someone is getting
paid to prop the product up for profit.
Call quality is a concern but I figured into that an ordered a Jawbone based
on the great reviews its received here on XDA.
Thanks for your input.

It's really good to hear that the S9 is NOT underpowered volume wise.
You can always turn it down but it really does suck when the sound is weak.
I would figure some of that loudness maybe due to what looks like a really
good fit (seal) of the headset to the ear causing a good block of surrounding
sounds.
It's too bad about call quality because that is usually one of Motorola only
strong points in most of their products. Oh well, I guess the other one being
looks has been achieved with the S9.
The background noise issue is the same reason I'm getting the Jawbone. I
have had the same complaint with the OEM wired headset that came with
the X01HT. People just don't want to talk to you when it gets hard to
understand you. Plus it really just doesn't help if you're trying to handle
a situation that needs no extra stress added like that loud background
noise. It's too bad because the caller's voice comes in nice and clear through
those OEM stereo headsets. Sometimes it's kind of creepy because it's too
clear and it sounds as if they're right in your head.
Thanks for your input.
I had the s9 for about a month. It was great for music and video via Coreplayer. No skipping on my 8525 with the lastest rom. Call quality was decent, but I bought it for the music. Now, the bad news, my S9 just died on me a couple days ago and wouldn't charge. I finally got it to work ,sortof, but the controls on the right side don't respond. Called Motorola and got a return authorization. Will be sending it back. Hope it was just a fluke. Just some info. With coreplayer the S9 controls play/pause skip/ff didn't work. But volume and phone control worked.

Did you buy direct from Motorola? I just placed an order from an 'online shop'
so I hope I don't have any problems down the road. If I do, I hope I can deal
with MOTO directly since they 'sometimes' tend to be a bit more on the ball.
Plus most online shops will tell you to go directly to the manufacturer to deal
with warranty issues anyways so you never know who's handling warranty.
Good luck with the warranty exchange and I hope it all works out for you.
Thanks for the heads up on the non-functioning buttons with Coreplayer.
I did want to point out a few details before I posted my review of them over at mobilitysite
Pro: USB charging... 1 cable to rule them all
Pro: only 1 blinking light, relatively subdued and it is facing the back of your neck while worn
Pro: will turn itself off after an hour if I fall asleep or an otherwise careless
Con: my fat fingers aren't really sensitive enough to find the little controls while worn
Con: it doesn't quite feel right on my big fat head... don't know if it is because it has to spread out a bit to get around my head or if I'm just not used to it. In any case it is very secure and isn't going to slip off.
Con: No way of determining battery life.. is it good for an hour or 8 hours?
Con: not quite flexible enough to store or a clip for a lanyard, although it is an easy fix to tie something to it

Thanks for breaking it down into pros vs cons.
I did not know that the S9 would shut it self down after an hour of inactivity.
That's cool since it should extent battery life a bit. The blinking LED is
hopefully not too noticeable by others, I hope.
Yeah, I've heard that the buttons can be a bit of a pain to deal with simply
because of the way they are made. I guess I'll just see how I rate in finger
size when I get these S9s sometime next week according to the website I
ordered them from.

It's going to be Christmas in June for me when the Jawbone and the S9 arrive
this week and next week. Hopefully I won't have trouble with either one
of them because warranty returns are such a PITA.

Nice review and pictures.
"geek jewelry" ROFLMA
For me its a 7.5 out of ten. Two things i dont like, it hurts my left ears just a little if i keep it in there for long, and that you only hear from the left side when talking on the phone... other from that i'm ok with it.
S9 - Not perfect, but very nice
The Motorola S9 is a really nice little headset.
I find it a bit weak on bass, but I’m coming from a Motorola V3i (non-iTunes) with Motorola wired USB stereo headset, and that is one of the most impressive low cost sets of ear buds I’ve ever worn. Not sure how they did that! Note that Motorola wired USB headsets do NOT work on the Hermes, which is a shame, because the HTC wired headset is real junk.
The only glitchy things I’ve seen so far with the S9 and the Hermes / 8525 are:
After hanging up a call, music resumes, but sometimes skips badly for 10-20 seconds. A couple times pressing answer has given only a hum in the left ear, and no ability to talk or listen. Hopefully, the final versions of the Win Mob 6 Bluetooth stack will take care of this.
The S9 ships with 2 different sets of rubber “nubs” to cover the speakers. The default ones that come installed are small, and can be removed and rotated to really direct the sound into your ear as best as possible for different sizes and shapes of ears. In a little bag, you will find a spare set of the default nubs, but ALSO a larger set that have a very soft rubber membrane that floats over a harder rubber inner tube. Some users may find these more comfortable, as they do not intrude into your ear as far.
Personally, I don’t mind the fact that it switches to left ear only for voice calls, I’ve never been all that keen on that “you’re inside my head” sensation of stereo headsets when used for monaural voice.
Remember that on a stock Cingular ROM with Win Mob 5, this headset will basically sound like “mono”, not stereo, but that’s not Motorola’s fault, it's M$'s atrocious BT stack!
Good points:
- really, REALLY light, yet stays in place no matter what
- AV and phone controls work properly with HTC Hermes & Windows Mobile
- Rubber ear nubs direct sound into your ears without need for itchy foam covers
- Really soft touch activation of volume and FF/REW buttons (prevents displacment of the headset while adjusting the most common controls)
Not so good points:
- No indication of how much battery charge is left
- A little weak on bass response
- Not enough tactile difference to easily distinguish between play and answer buttons vs volume and FF/REW buttons
- Picks up room noise really badly in phone mode - works best in quiet(er) locations.

Thanks for your review. You filled a few more of the blanks that I was trying
to figure out. I hope the bass response won't be an issue for me but then
again I like to 'feel' my bass and these are just headphones so I don't expect
be getting 'rocked' by them is what I'm telling myself long before they arrive.
OMG!!! BASS and lots of it!!! I am using GSPlayer with the sound settings
VERY tweaked to my taste and even with BassBoost at minimum I am getting
more bass then I would have imagined possible with a BT stereo headset.
Of course you must have really good, clean 192KBps or better MP3s to begin
with and if you ripped them yourself at 320KBps, then you're just enjoying
better then can be expected results with a BT stereo headset.
Me likely!
Once I manage to wipe the stupid smile off my face I will be back to
update my findings for anyone still on the fence thinking about getting
one of these Motorola S9's and needing a slight shove.
I put on the large silicon ear fittings and the bass is incredible.
With the latest ROM's and improved BT drivers I am now able to leave the phone next to the wall about 12 feet behind the basketball goal and shoot pro 3-pointers all day without skipping a beat. And that's while streaming with iPlay from my desktop at home. The microphone isn't the best but if someone calls you can talk, get rid of them, and get back to shooting and jamming in no time. We're getting there...

Recommended bluetooth stereo headsets

I've been using Plantronics Pulsar 590A for some time and they have worked flawlessly. Good sound and I can easily go into another room still with good sound and no interruptions.
Yesterday I tried the Sony DR-BT20NX and was really disappointed. Excellent sound but the sound dropped when I turned my back or held it behind my back. Tried it with both the Tytn and the Qtek 9100 with the same result.
Just add to the list, it would be nice to know in advance which headsets work well with the Tytn
Plantronics Pulsar 590A
Sound: Good
Reception: Really good, can walk around in my apartment without sound dropping.
Talk: No complaints except if it's really windy.
Design: Ok, however one "ear" flashes blue while in use. Makes you look like something from star trek...
Sony DR-BT20NX
Sound: Good
Reception: Extremely bad. Can not even put it in my front pocket without the sound dropping
Talk: Didn't even try. The reception was so bad these were not an option.
Design: Excellent. Looks good and you just put the strap around your neck. While not in use there are small straps for holding the plugs in place so the cable doesn't get tangled.
I really like the Jabra 8010. The hook is flexible and adjustable. It's taken awhile for me to get used to it though. I've worn a Jabra 250v forever. It has a small cord that goes around the back of the neck that hooks onto the headset on the other ear. You can use mono or stereo.
I use it/them with the HTC 8525. It brought out volume issues with the phone that I didn't know I had though. Searching, reading and people on this forum helped me get those issues fixed and now everything works perfectly.
MsGadget
Plantronics 590!!
I'll cast my vote for the Plantronics 590. Phenomenal with the latest A2DP and hardcore's tuning tips. Never a skip and the battery life is incredible!
More than once while listening to my Hermes with them have I've pondered the exorbitant amount of cash I've sunken into my home theater over the years.
Motorola S705
I agree on the Plantronics 590. They really raised my expectations, I thought all headsets were equally good which I have found out they are not.
Has anyone tried Motorola S705? They seem really awesome with lcd display, 3,5 mm jack (you can use your own headphones), radio, good battery life (better than with the Sony ones according to a forum I read) and BT class 1 instead of 2 which gives them a theoretical range of 100m instead of 10m which is standard. A little bigger than many but I am really tempted giving them a shot.

Interesting.
I think (and someone please correct me if I'm wrong on this) that both the BT transmitter and the BT reciever need to be Class 1 to get the kind of ranges that they state for Class 1 devices. I don't know of any current phones and only a few USB dongles that are Class 1. Class 1 devices are also more power hungry.
blueant
I highly recommend the blueant ones (X5?). I have them and then another three friends bought them. It also comes with a 3.5mm transmitter so you can use it with your PC/ipod,etc.

I'm really not looking for a device that has 100 m range, but I figure that if it has that kind of range having the phone in your front pocket or moving around in the apartment should be no problem.
Btw. The Plantronics also come with a 3,5 mm transmitter so it can be used for pretty much everything.
The Motorola set does not come with a transmitter but you can buy one separately. If you buy one you can pair it to the phone and another source at the same time. For example, if you are streaming music from your computer and you receive a call, the music mutes and the device switches to your phone.
Plantronics 590
Probably worth noting there's also Plantronics 590E which is headphones and charger only and is a great option for those who don't need all the trimmings included with the pricier 590A.

I think the pricier ones are a really good buy since you can use them with all equipment imaginable. Forgot to mention that they also come with a regular cable so if you are out of battery or sitting on a plane you can use them without bluetooth.
Wavesystec BT-1000
Saw these in a swedish shop. They are from Korea and I haven't heard of them before. They were charged and I got to try them out. The sound was good but a little low on base. They were really small and I like the way they look, although the shiny front seems to smudge easily. All controls worked like a charm and I could put them in my pocket and walk around the store without any interruptions. Maybe not hifi but the were quite cheap, the store price was 700 SEK (or about 100 $). I'm thinking of going back later this week and test the call quality. Found a website with the specs here:
http://www.alibaba.com/catalog/11283714/Bluetooth_Headset.html
Edit: Tried them again and the call sound was good. However, the bass was really too bad so I won't be buying them.
ive got some gear4 ones, get to just over 20M appart before it drops the audio, and need to get 10Ms away for it to pick it up again.
5hrs play back
paid £11.49 for them off amazon hen they done a deal!
Plantronics 590A The Ultimate Bluethooth Voice Command Headset
Yeah! the ultimate headset, a superior breed, the best on the market, top of the line, I believe that says it all, yeah! the ultimate headset........!
Plantronics Discovery 655
... works great with my Hermes.
Long battery life, easy charging from the same mini-USB cable, good reception and signal distance.
HT-820
i gotta mention my Motorola Ht-820s which were brilliant on my magician (with alota patching) but are flawless and ever lasting on the Hermes.
How about the ITech R35s? I've been debating buying them off ebay. They get real good reviews and seem like they would beat out any other kind since you use your own headphones with them!
Even has controls to switch songs. Some reviews say media player on windows mobile supports the controls some reviews say it doesnt.
http://cgi.ebay.com/ITech-Clip-R35-...yZ133229QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
I have a Nokia HS-12W as well as a HTC BH S100 and both work well on the latest WM6 ROMS.
I use the Schap's ROM without any reg edits.
The advantage of the HTC is that it has a 3.5mm jackplug on the earphone side so you can attach your favourite earphones.
The sound of the Nokia blows away my IPod. Deep base and rich treble.
The range on both are about 10 to 15 meters in an unrestricted enviroment.
The Nokia costs about twice as much as the HTC in South Africa.
I can recommend both of these Stereo BT Headsets.

Well...I bought my R35 off of Ebay and I'll say that I'm a happy customer. Sounds great to me with Sleuth's WM6 LVSW variant, A2DP skip fix, and seems to hold a charge for a decent amount of time before needing recharging. I would say that they are not very good at the telephony part however...whenever I answer or make a call with them...I always get complaints about sound from the other party. They do work with WMP for what it's worth though. I'd say they are a worthy A2DP investment especially if you have a favorite pair of headphones already...
I have some Logitech BT head phones but they are just too big/bulky for jogging, gym, etc. I was thinking how nice it would be to have my phone in my gym bag and the little R35 clipped on!

These are not stereo though...
I bought the Pulsar 260 since the Pulsar 590A have worked really well. At first I was quite disappointed but I then upgraded my rom to LVSW and the sound was dramatically improved. Some slight background noice but nothing big. Controls work well and the range is fantastic. Also no interruptions yet.
The only thing that irritates me is the cable length. You can easily clip it to your belt and so if you hang it around the neck there is a lot of cable dangling around. The sound during calls where adequate but my girlfriend said there was a little squeking noice every time I stopped talking and it was a little irritating. This was with the old rom and I have not yet tested call quality with the new rom. I will report back on that.
Edit: The call quality is adequate and the sound did improve with the new rom. The squeking sound is gone, only a little static left but nothing much.
I am very pleased with me Nextlink spider.

I got one on sale from Radioshack for $40 bucks I believe a while back. I've heard that some of the units have problems retaining battery but I have no problems with my unit. I get really great sound and reception in my 3 bedroom house. Callers can hardly tell that I am not speaking directly into my phone and its comfy too.

Average quality bluetooth headset

Hi Evry1. I am after an average quality bluetooth stereo headset for my HD. I love music and like to listen to my favourite tracks on the go (on the way to office and uni everyday & sometimes at home from my lappy). Ideally I would love to have amazing quality sound output but can't really be bothered to wear those chunky headsets that offer the sound quality to my satisfaction, so I decided to go for an average quality bluetooth headset for everyday use.
After going through some reviews I'm thinkin of buyin a motorola s9. I know it has issues with the buttons but I don't go to gym and don't get time for even light exercise, hence I have nothing to worry about, on that part. But, unfortunately, I can't seem to find any UK based dealer where I can get it from. Ideally I would prefer a shop where I can take the thing back if anything bad happens.
I would also like your opinion on my choice and if there is any other headset that you might suggest.
Cheers...
Doesn't anybody has anything to say?!
ah, here's my 3 cents...
Firstly, the new model is S9 HD...I considered that and some others and finally bought the Plantronics V855. I didn't need very good stereo music, and so the 855 is okay for me. At best, the call sounds are great. I didn't like wires and the 855 had just one simple wire that links to the other ear, unlike those like the SE DS980 (great stereo music).
The S9 HD (to me!) looked very out of place (aka awkward, ugly) on a person when worn - at least that what's I gather from seeing 2 persons wearing them on the streets.
Additionally, some reviews pointed to poor call voice sounds (ie. soft).
...it's really your preference in the end.
I think I'm gonna go with the DS980 then...
Dint get a bluetooth headset at the end, instead got a seenheiser CX 400-II headset... Mind blowing quality. glad that i made that choice...

[Q] Looking for a good durable Stereo BT headset

I would like a decent bluetooth stereo headset that I can listen to music with and make and recieve calls on with this device. I've already tried the Motorla S10's and jaybird freedoms.
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Motorol...38355&skuId=1326039&st=motorola s10&cp=1&lp=1
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/JayBird...8316933151&skuId=2264036&st=jaybird&cp=1&lp=4
Moto has a decent mic, but poor audio and bad signal range. However call's were serviceable.
The jaybirds have sensational audio clarity and quality (better on the iPhone though. Just sounds cleaner. dunno why?) and the bass is rich and crisp. Some of the best bud audio I've heard well...ever. Even rivals my klipsch S4i's *Only works on apple :-(*
Now for the bad. Calls are the worst I've ever expirenced! audio is muddy, the other end always complains I sound distant and traped in a far away restroom, audio cuts in and out and the volume in call is too low. Just horrid experience altogether that mares the device of its exceptional BT headphone feature.
And I would like ideally a headset with good range ~12-20ft from device. a decent battery cycle *8-12Hrs.* and has a good noise canceling mic and good audio quality for music and calls.
Does such a device exist? My budget is $80-150
Thanks in advanced.
I use the Sony mw600. Pretty decent has FM radio and connects 3 different bt devices easily.

I just think the sound quality and the mic suck for phone calls. :-/ which is disappointing. but the sound quality for music and such is nearly on par with my beats studios, although not as clear or loud. and they almost replicate the same timber/clarity of the klipsch S4i's they replaced. (best buds I've ever owned/used/seen) though there's a little distortion at higher volume levels. and I don't feel like they get as loud as I'd like.
i'm using my Sony Ericsson HBH-DS980 from 2007, great headset, no problems at all, even battery ok after 4 years of use.

Sony Ericsson Bluetooth devices are awesome. I have been using the hbh ds205 for years this is my second one my wife put the first one through the wash it still worked but the battery didn't hold a charge after that.
Anyways the great thing about it is you can use it for anything and use any headphones you want with it. I use my sennheiser ie7's.
It has all the controls...play pause volume up down skip track answer calls. Battery last like 8-10 hours of continuous playback.
I clip it on my shirt and work all day long with it. Clip it on my jacket and listen to tunes while I'm riding my motorcycle. Get in my car plug it in to the auxiliary cable, samething at home. Just got a portable speaker for cell phones so I can plug it into that and listen wirelessly. That's why its so great it makes everything wireless.
I don't think they make this model anymore but there is new versions. I'm gonna upgrade sometime because this little device is so awesome.

Thanks for the feedback. funny thing is my jay birds worked flawlessly today, no distortion and no call issues... only thing I did different was calibrate my battery on the phone and flash the updated matted blues theme for serendipity.... strange.

In terms of Voice Call Quality, the Plantronics 903+ are top notch. I also have the Jaybird Freedoms (best sound quality IMHO) as well as the Sony Ericsson MW600 which I like for the ability to plug in any Headphones I wish. I haven't heard many issues with the MW600 for the audio quality though.
I was told that the Jaybirds has a bit of a tinny sound when I talk on the phone though, bit of a downside (granted after my workout at the gym, I can't seem to find them, not too happy about that.) The Jaybirds battery life will not be the best in any way shape or form, you do pull off about 5 hours, which isn't bad, but nothing like the MW600 which get up to 11 hours.
The MW600 is not the best for working out in my opinion, no sealed ports and not water resistant/sweat resistant. The Plantronics 903+ isn't sweat resistant either contrary to what you read online, but it is durable. I have shorted out 6 pairs with the amount of sweat I have when working out. I even have shorted out a Motorola S9 which is supposed to be sweat resistant as well. Just my $0.02 take them as you wish.

I have had the same experience with the JayBirds as the OP. Good bluetooth speakers... horrible call quality. People couldn't understand me, complaining that I was muffled. I took them back after 2 days.
I am also looking for a good set of stereo bluetooth headphones, to use both in the car and the gym, and will be following this thread closely.

Anytime. I have been playing more with the MW600. In the end, there is no "perfect" bluetooth headphones for everything. When I'm at work I use my MW600, and when I am biking/working out I use my Jaybirds.
My MW600's came today and I was able to get a quick 20 mile ride in with them. So here is a quick review.
My first impression was wow is this thing small. With out headphones the unit is about 2.5 inches long and about .5 wide. The clip is not the greatest but seemed to hold on tight enough.
The headphones that came with it just looking at them I would say they are not the greatest design. The are not the "Standard" Y design with the plug on the bottom and the L & R ear buds at the top. Instead the plug and L ear bud are on the top and the R ear bud the bottom. This makes the L ear bud rather short. Tossed them right away.
Pairing could not have been easier. Pretty much standard Turn the unit on, Turn on BT on the phone tell it to look for devices and then pair it up. After pairing I turned the headset off for a hour and then turned it back on and it did pair right up again so no problems there.
The Unit
The controls will take a bit of getting use to. Pretty much anywhere you touch it you are going to be touching a control surface. Looking at the headset with the LED screen facing you and headphones on top the volume is on the left, ff, play/pause, and rw are on the left. On the top of the front face is the call button with a mic right above it and at the bottom above the Micro USB port is the power.
The volume will take a bit to get use to as well. it is not a physical button but a touch surface that is not all that sensitive (in the end I think this is a good thing.) you turn it up or down by running your finger over the surface in the direction that you want it to go. To go to full volume or min volume it takes a couple of swipes of your finger or you can press and hold at the top or bottom to up and down.
FF, Play/Pause, and RW seem to work fine and it is not a problem to use them.
I have not had a chance to place or get a call yet so can not speak to how well the call button works or the sound quality. I will post as soon as I get a chance to use the headset for a call.
Sound Quality.
I did not test the headphones that came with it so I can not speak to them. I used a pair of headphones that came with my Captivate (could not find my better Skulls at the time.) I would not say that the sound was out of this world but it was pretty good for using a pair of headphones that came with a phone. Did not get any distortion at the level that I had it, no popping not hissing. Would not say that the sound was deep and rich but it was good.
The Extra's
One of the nice things about this unit is that you can use use a high end set of headphones with out a mic because the unit has a mic built in. So if you have a really good set of headphone I would use them.
FM Radio worked good. was able to pull in the radio station that I listen to all the time and it came in very clear. To the FM radio you hold down the play/pause button until 2 little icons display on the LED then use the play/pause button again to select what you want. I did not try it but I do not think that you can listen to the radio and the use the headset for calls at the same time.
Over all I like the headset it has good sound and with a good set of headphones I think it will be even better. Pairing could not be any easier and once paired held the pairing very well. I did not get any interruptions when I went over bumps that I did get with other BT headsets. I do not think that working out with the headset will be a issue seeing that it is clipped to the outside of my shirt I would have to get a REALLY good sweat going to for it to affect the unit but seeing as it is 45 degrees here right now the proof will have to wait until I get in the gym.
At this point the only con I have is the controls. Like I said it is really hard to handle the unit with out touching one of the controls (Most often volume) but again I think that it is pretty much a matter of time before I "learn" how to handle it with out touching something.
On a scale of 1-10 I would give the headset a solid 8
If you can still find them, Homer HHS1220 I believe was the BEST bang for the buck a few years ago. Legitimate 12 hour battery and pretty comfy to wear.

I bought the Phiaton PS 20 BT stereo headset ($125 at Newegg) about a month ago. The sound quality is great, on both music and calls. Distance, to me, is impressive. Built-in battery charges via USB, and battery life has been good for me.
The microphone is the only thing that's a bit finicky. Some people tell me that it sounds like I'm on a wired headset. Others tell me it sounds like I'm in a tunnel. The problem boils down to what shirt I'm wearing! If I have button-down shirt or a breast pocket, then it's easy to dial the mic in for great sound. But if I'm wearing a t-shirt ... forget it.

I have a pair of Jaybird bluebuds and they sound pretty good. Expensive, but it's got the lifetime sweat warranty and true eight hour battery life.
I was also gifted the beats studio wireless headphones and those sound very good and are very comfortable. They're not $370 good but there isn't much competition even at that price. They sound like $200 headphones sound quality wise.

Been using Sony bluetooth headset SBH50 for more than a month now have no problem recommending this device to anyone looking for a wireless Bluetooth option for cellular or audio listening needs I'm definitely impressed with its functionality sound quality and its built in caller ID, and radio.
However, my SBH50 battery is terrible,the battery charge do not last more than two days even without use at all (standby only) and less than one day with light use (a total of about 2 hour calls) although sony says that SBH50 minimum Rated Talk Time: 8 hours, and Minimum Rated Standby Time: 400 hours
I don't know if it is my Headset problem or it is actual battery life for this type of sony headset ?

thanks for this thread. i recently dropped my LG Tone 730's on the ground, so looking for a new replacement. Hope this thread helps!!
The LG's were cool and all but after a while of use, they would "magically" move around your neck and one side would hang lower then the other
I use a NoiseHush NS560-11978 Clip-on Bluetooth Stereo Headset and have been for a couple of years now.
I use it for about an hour + a day for 3 days before needing a re-charge (listening to music the whole time).
Doesn't take very long to charge via usb (It uses a tiny connector at the end of the male usb).
I have never used the earphones it comes with. I've always used my Sony headphones (Just standard music headphones).
The bluetooth dongle has a built in microphone & you can answer / hang up / play / pause / vol up / down / skip forward & backwards.
I use it in the rain (I clip it onto my messenger back strap) and its never let me down over the last couple of years.
My 3 kids all have one each and all of them are still working fine without any problem at all.
If you do a Google image search for NoiseHush NS560 it will show you what colours it comes in (lots).
I guess the sound quality would depend on your headphones you use.. Mine are great (I also user a rom with Viper for sound so I can alter the sound through bluetooth which helps a lot.
Amazon has a whole bunch of reviews:
http://www.amazon.com/NoiseHush-NS560-11978-Bluetooth-Stereo-Headset/dp/B0092MD7C0
Oh yeh they aren't very expensive and are built really well (looks ok too).
Today i went and bought the jam transit wireless bluetooth earbuds and im extremely impressed. ..the sound and clarity is better than alot of other more expensive models. I would recommend them to anyone.
I also own the jam transit over the ear wireless bluetooth headset and im also very impressed with those

I owned 5 premium bluetooth earphones/headset (wrappable in one hand) in my lifetime and I've got to say Jaybird's really hit the spot.
1. Forgot the name but it has "blue" in the company name: No use for me reviewing the first one as people wouldn't know what to get if I say it's good, but it had a turn-to-release charging cover and had a thick body, wasn't overly viable but it was a decent first pair.
2. Plantronics Backbeat GO 1: This was the one I tossed into the washing machine twice and it stopped working, the buttons were too "gummy" and after a while I was able to peel the buttons off.
3. Plantronics Backbeat GO 2: The reason I replaced this was because sound was lost on one side. Overall nice pair of cheap headphones if you're new into the bluetooth earphone scene. I see many people with this pair and it goes from 300-400 HKD which is dirt cheap. I tossed it in the washing machine twice and perfectly works, despite the foam in the individual earpieces peeling, sound production is fair.
4. Jabra Rox Wireless: Sold this piece of garbage because of it's BT4.0 problems on many devices. It has a magnetic suspend feature when you flip the headphones to the side it will stick together on your neck. Caused issues on my Note 3, OnePlus One, Macbook Air and Macbook Pro - doesn't want to reconnect properly and caused random reboots on my Android device. Also the first version I got had a faulty microUSB port which wiggled around with a USB plugged in. Not recommended!
5. Jaybird Bluebuds X: This was by far the most premium bang-to-the-buck headphone I bought. Currently lasting 8 hours charge compared to all the other's 4 hour battery, nice bass and treble balance, a funky circular storage unit and plastic "wings" that allow for the headphone to stay in your ear. It also has waterproofing/sweatproofing by Liquipel and that adds to the value of the headphone. I used this for over 3 months now and haven't regretted it yet. The only downside is the higher, more premium pricing. When I first put this pair on I felt like the sound was surrounding me compared to my old headphones, and the sound reproduction was way more superior.
