MW600 is the way to go!
great music quality + FM radio support makes it even better..
Post in your review once you test the device for yourself..
Cheers!

Thanks for that. Is the audio and in call volume louder than the standard handsfree?

I received my headset today so far so good. Quality is good but i noticed the amount of bass u get varies on certain tracks. Might try my other earphones to check the difference but pleased with my purchase. Anyone with this headset got any tips and tricks?

it depends on the quality of the track

Yup, just change the earphone. the one that comes with MW600 doesn't deserve to be there
MW600 could do much better than that btw

Hello guys, can someone say me if Sony Eicsson MW-600 and CM7 by Jerpelea are compatible?

Is the bass sound on this headphone not too good? Thanks...

I have this headset receiver and I use it with Sennheiser MM60 (headphone unit which is practically PX100).
The sound is pretty good, but it's pretty tricky to connect more than one devices (phone and computer). The volume slider is also tricky to control (you must sweep the bar in order to control).
I put a piece of "soft" screen protector to prevent scratching.

The bass is pretty much not there unless you use enhancers which i believe are only available for froyo and gingerbread users. However with any froyo rom there are connection issues as well as for music, i.e. cut in songs and random disconnection. However if you can find an equaliser/enhancer for 2.1 then you can increase the bass frequency.

Thanks for your reply. I am still contemplating on buying this item. I had one Sony Bluetooth headphone before, but the bass is not that solid compared to wired headphones I've been using...

Using the sgs2 with a high-end headphone.

I've been considering for a while to buy a good headphones and I've decided to buy an audio technica ath-m50. The only thing that is bothering me is the yamaha audio chip. If I buy those headphones, I'll be using them most of the time on my sgs2.
Will the yamaha chip make the ath-m50 sound like a cheap low-end headphone?
If you happen to own an ath-m50 I wold really appreciate it if you could measure the hollow of the earth cups, diagonally and horizontally maybe. I've read that people with large ears may find them uncomfortable. The length of my ears are just below 7cm(I don't care, they are small, my mum told me that)
I've read supercurio's analysis of the audio chip but my question still remains.
Waiting eagerly for any response.
Get an iPod nano- excellent sound quality and a great price. I hate using my GSII for music though Poweramp is a great app

Well, if you really want to use a pair of high end headphones with the galaxy sII, get a portable amp like i did. I got a fiio e7, and it powers the ath-m50just fine. Listening to them straight out of the GSII audio jack wont let them utilise their full power. And dont get an iPod if you want really high quality audio. :-/ (Just a suggestion )

I have bought that app even though I rarely use it because for me the s2 is loud enough. I'm more worried about the quality of the sound.

It simple buddy take your handset into a store that sells these headsets and test the thing in house.
From there your should be able to make up your mind.

I've thought of this, the only problem is finding a store that sells the audio technica ath-m50. I live in London I'm sure there is plenty of stores.
However this would not be much help because I'm not very experienced with high end headphones, so probably almost anything will sound good to me.
If you want to listen to boom boom music with heavy bass then the SGS2 is inadequate .Expensive headphones are not going to do that much .
However as a user who does not have any boom boom music i find stock player headphones or slightly upmarket low end Sennheiser headphones fine .
Power Amp for me strangely lowers sound output level .

I've the same experience as JJEgan with Power Amp. It seems to boost dynamic range at the sacrifice of overall volume.
For getting the best out of high-end headphones, you could always try Neutron Music Player from Android Market. It claims to use its own "32-bit audio music rendering core", although it's debatable whether this makes a difference, given that uncompressed CDs only have 16-bits per sample. People seem to like it, though.
Just recently I noticed something when listening to music using Poweramp with a headphone.
When you click on something such as the app drawer, the volume of the music that you are listening to increases for fraction of a second then it goes back to normal.
It can be very annoying when you are using the phone while listening.

Tried Neutron at the weekend, and these old ears couldn't see - OK, hear - what the fuss is about. No difference from Poweramp with a very unscientific ABX on my Sennheiser IE8s.
Definitely the worst UI I've seen on any music player though - so hideous that it should win awards.

Senn HD25-1s and Ety ER4-Ps both sound fine straight out of the headphone socket.
Using poweramp, without any eq or tone control tweaks, just ~30% crossfeed.
I read all the reports of crappy audio on the GS2, so when I got mine and tried it I was very pleasantly suprised.
Whereabouts in Poweramp settings is crossfeed...Didn't realise Poweramp supported it ?

I usually run them both at the same time. HS3000 for music, HS5000 for phone calls. You just gotta make sure that you set the HS3000 to not automatically connect as hands free, otherwise answering phone calls could be tricky.

With the included earphones, the sound quality is at least as good if not better because of the built in eq presets.
Can anyone confirm that the HS3000 will still function while being charged?

Answering problem after music listening
Hi all!
I have HS3000 and ZTE Blade (CM 7.2).
Everything is ok except call answering after music listening.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Connect headset to smartphone.
2. Turn on music listening. It should come from headset.
3. Someone call you meanwhile music listening.
4. Answer the call.
5. Caller voice comes from smartphone regardless connected bluetooth.
The only fix is turn off bluethooth button off and on again afterwards sound comes from headset.
Does anyone faced with this problem and/or know how to fix it?

This is normal behaviour.
Your headphone is not connected in headset-mode but in audio-mode.
So when a call comes in , for the phone there is NO HEADSET CONNECTED.
I dont thinks so. I had Sony Ericsson HBH DS-220 and Nokia BH-214. Both of them worked properly and all calls swithed to headset even if I had listened music.
Moreover HS3000 work properly in second and all next calls in case music listening.

Yes, because you reconnected it in headset mode.
The first time you are connecting it in audio-mode i suppose...

This does not explain why SE and Nokia work perfectly in all cases.
And why HS3000 doesn't connect in both modes at the same time if smartphone indicates that headset BT profile is turned on?

If you're using headphones with a high impedance there's nothing to do about besides using a headphone amp.
I'm using AKG K701 and even with boosted output the impedance is still too high to get an acceptable volume output. Therefore I'm using the FiiO E9 to fit my needs.

Audio - Output Level

I've got a couple of requests, both audio related. Hoping ROM and/or kernel developers might be able to help out...
1. A global gain setting/boost for the headphone jack. For those that use the headphone jack with, say, an Aux In to a car stereo, you really have to crank the stereo to get decent volume. It's probably a good 20-25% lower output than my iPhone 4. The Play Store boost options are unreliable and only work for apps that don't include their own built-in EQ.
2. Toggle to disable the LG feature that turns the volume down automatically "to save your ears" when you plug something into the jac. It's a good feature for headphone users, but a real annoyance for those using Aux In on another device. Plug in, crank the LGOG, crank the stereo and you've got a listenable signal.
Thanks.

Again, the booster apps only work for apps that don't include their own EQ. So it's fine for Pandora but not for, say, Subsonic.
Best way to do this would be with a system-level tweak. I had a Nook Color and they had extremely low audio levels. A dev added this feature and all worked great.
Clearly I'm not alone in being annoyed by this issue.

In the interim you could just not use subsonic and use a simpler music app...

I tried today with my Tones, didn't change a thing. None of the settings changed anything.
I'm pretty down about the volume issues too.., my only real beef with this bad Larry..I'm on base 0.7, running well, w/custom kernel too. One weird thing that got me confused is a few apps, all "audio" related, power amp(very few issues in 2+yrs) volume+ and 2-3 more won't open, nothing happens, been through every step that should be needed for fixin this, kinda boggled. Oh, I gotta check but on linpack, base .05, stock kernel, my phone killed it and snagged 4th and like 19th highest overall, the 19th was under clocked too multi thread, /Rob/Boston

Well,I found a fix for #2 in my original post. I wanted to find an app that would let me use the iPhone volume and track buttons on my workout headphones. I grabbed Headset Button Controller.
Turns out that it works great and includes a feature to automatically put the headphone jack to any specific volume level when something is plugged in. Perfect.

PowerAmp provides a small boost, which makes the puny LG headset just loud enough. Sennheiser speakers generally seem to be louder, though most of them have 32ohms impedance, 16ohms should be louder, theoretically. I like oldskool headphones without silicone plugs, i don´t think the new ones will last one decade like my Sennheiser MX550. I just bough MX400 MS for less than 10 Euros, looking cheaper than the MX550s, they provide the same sound quality and volume.
The LGs headset plug is Apple compatible, without an adapter to switch mic & GND connectors, Samsung and Sony stuff won´t work. Nokia´s needs the adapter to play music w/o distortion, but control buttons will never work.
