okay well i currently have the Beats by Dr Dre Solo HDs that i use for music. thing is the controls to change song and volume only worked on my old iPhone 4 n not my TB. i was also interested in bluetooth headphones but i dont know if the feautures will work well or if it will work at all (althought i THINK it should at this age and time). so any of you guys out there using Bluetooth headphones that work decent?
Apple switches some of the leads that control volume and track so that you have to buy apple's headphones(or apple-licensed headphones.) The headphones you have were probably designed for use on apple products, and have funky pin-outs, so they won't control other devices. As for bluetooth headphones I use my super old sonys and they work just fine. I bought them after bluetooth just first hit the market, and they have some of the best fidelity I have ever heard in other, more expensive headphones (I'm an audiophile.) A2DP works just fine, so you can buy whatever stereo bt headphones you like.
I got some pretty good logitech Bluetooth headphones that work great. Decent sound too....

Anyone familiar with the RF-MAB2 stereo Bluetooth headsets?? read some pretty good reviews about them and was thinking of getting one..
any help regarding sound quality (especially bass response) and overall compatibility with X10 will be greatly appreciated..
any better headsets suggestions is also welcome..
Thanx in advance..
wow.. nobody ?
I have the other rocket fish model of stereo bluetooth headset and they work very well. Sound its good, battery life is good. The only complaint is people say I sound far away when I'm on a phone call.

I was actually looking for inexpensive bluetooth headphones a few months ago and ended up buying the RF-MAB2. I've had no issues with them.
The battery life is great, I use them for around an hour each day and they typically last me a week and a half.
The controls on the headphones work good too. Has volume controls, next/prev song, play/pause and the power/call answer/hangup/ voice command button.
Audio quality is fine. Obviously it isn't going to be super awesome like some high end headphones but it's definitely good.
I'd recommend them to you if you are looking for decent, inexpensive BT headphones.
I'm not sure if this is a problem with the phone, the bluetooth or the headphones but if I have the wifi and the bluetooth on on my phone at the same time the music skips a lot... took me a while to figure out it was the wifi doing it so if you are using them on wifi and they skip you gotta shut off the wifi, other than that they are great
Thanks a lot for the help guys. Think Im gonna get myself a Rocketfish.. (love the name )..
If it's any difference I also have a 5.1 Surround Sound Rocketfish sound card in my comp and it works brilliantly
With what I've bought from them I haven't had any problems.
ahhh.. BT headphones..
I've owned the Motorola HT820. VERY durable. Excellent battery life. Amazing sound
and its replacement, the Nokia BT509. the only downside to this is it uses Nokia's charge plug as the HT820's used a USB. Both are comfortable to wear for any duration of time. Call quality about the same on both..
if you want awesome bass, get some Meelec R1, wooden headphones, pretty awesome
I have the Rocketfish RF-MAB2 Bluetooth High-Def. Stereo Headset and am experiencing way too much skip!
I have tried turning off wifi and data without any success. Any other suggestions would be appreciated.
I also have the motorola t505 for my car and it works flawlessly.
I was assuming it was the headset that was the problem and not the settings on the phone until I used the same headset on my Samsung Focus? There is no skip on the windows phone! (Don't flame for saying windows phone, I purchased it off ebay to see how it works!)
Hi all!
Im looking to get some better quality earphone with mic like Ultimate ears or V-moda or some other kind....
Do you guys have any idea which good ear phone with mic works on S2?
can you guys give me some names?
Thanks.
any one???
yes any headset that wupports the mobile standard will work. this includes in line mic, and button control. search for headsets like bose MIE2 headset, or any other manufacturer that supports the mobile standard, and it works just fine.
I recommend Atomic floyd, such nice headphones.
I am using Griffin Smart Talk with my Sennheiser in ear headphones.
Basically you plug this on your phone, plug the headphones to this and you're up and running.
Works very well!
any more recommendation guys? Griffin Smart Talk looks quite alright tho...

Anyone know of a good set of bluetooth stereo earbuds? I don't want headphones and I'd like something that can be used for phone calls as well.
I'm not exactly hard of hearing, but I do hear much better with earbuds in both ears than with just one.
Any suggestions?
I use the Jabra Clipper. It charges with the same cable that comes with the Note and it also allows you to use any type of miniplug headphone, as it's a powered BT receiver. It has a mic built in, too.

I use these both of these, mainly at the gym, I like them a lot...
http://www.plantronics.com/us/product/backbeat-903-plus - I like these the best
http://store.sony.com/webapp/wcs/st...10551&langId=-1&productId=8198552921666198163
I bought these, Samsung HS3000, a while back for my Captivate and in anticipation of the Note.
I like them because I can pop in my Sony studio cans or IEMs. Almost went with the Jabra Clipper mentioned above. With either of set you can jack them into a stereo Auxiliary and use your phone as a wireless remote.
I guess I'm most interested in Voice Quality. I want two earbuds in my ear. I want to easily hear someone when I am talking to them. I don't want the person on the other end of the call to know that I'm using bluetooth.
What are your voice call experiences with these?
has anyone got one of these? I was looking into getting a headset or headphones that operate like the apple headphones with the mic whilst someone calls or acting a means of listening to music. See this, looks cold, but not sure you can use it to speak to someone whilst the phone is in your pocket.
the tsettu
i think its just a bluetooth device that you plug your standard headset/headphones that came with your phone, i think the bluetooth device comes with headphones with the mic attatched anyway
Get MW600, I've got one and it works brilliantly

That's how all headsets with a mic work, ever since they first came out in the old days. "that operate like the apple headphones" makes it sound like Apple invented this, which they did not. They were about 10 years late to the party.
I find the bluetooth headsets are great, like the MW600. Great sound, no wire dangling into your pocket, works great for calls.
I got these with my phone for free, Its not he livesound ones though its just smart headset and the first time i used it compared to my 30 quid soundmagics it was ok, but once you let it burn in like all other headphones it improves dramatically, and the sound quality and bass improved and found its nearly as good as my 30 quid soundmagics.
So.. I bought the DNA today and am severely regretting this decision.. Wondering if anyone has experienced the same issue?
I have a Jaybird BlueBuds X bluetooth headphones. Compared to a lot of others, they have an amazing sound quality.. at least they had an amazing sound quality. When they were connected to my Galaxy S3 (running CM10.1 in the interest of full disclosure), they sounded as if they were hard-wired - no distortion, no buzzing, perfect sound quality.
I paired them with my new DNA, hoping for the same audio quality (and then some, due to famed Beats Audio) and... didn't get it.
So the problem I'm running into here is that they now sound like a pair of cheap, 10$ bluetooth headphones - the sound is distorted, there is crackling noise in the background, the music sounds like as if it's 64 kbps - barely usable, very unpleasant. As soon as I pair it back to my old S3, the sound comes back to life.
I've read the forums and understand that the OTA pushed out an update with some bluetooth fix.. I have the OTA (got it that way), so my phone is already running the supposed sound fix.
Has anyone experienced same problem? Especially with higher-end BT headphones? (Jaybirds, Sennheissers etc) Really like the phone, have been an HTC fan since WinMo days, but I simply cannot tolerate this BT flaw... Does it have to do with the BT chip that DNA has, or is it the BT stack/driver on this one?
++> On a side note - sound quality over wire is great.. so this a bluetooth only issue. The issue (noise) is more pronounced on higher frequencies..
I don't have BT headphones, but do have a Sony Xplod CD deck in my wife's Honda & pairing any of my HTC phones via BT sounds so horrible. However, I did get the HTC Steroclip for my Sony Xplod CD deck without BT in my truck & it sounds great. What gives? Was wondering if it might be the same issue as with the headphones.
I am running Creative 350's with apt-x codec and they sound great. I would find a set of headphones with apt-x. You won't be disappointed.

Well, quite honestly, when i first started researching bt headphones for exercising there has not been a single pair that garnered the amount of positive reviews as the bluebuds.. plus they did sound amazing on s3. I did look for aptx - s3 uses it, but no workout headphones that had aptx had good reviews in terms of build quality etc.
I do wonder tho...
On dev.android under the about Android 4.2 JB it does mention that it got a new BT stack developed, replacing current BlueZ as well as updated low-latency audio.. maybe the new stack does indeed improve quality.
im going to flash the s3 with stock 4.1 and see how it sounds and then try a couple of variations of aosp stuff and report back..
Ps. I also found a mention of how s3 uses a2dp edr natively, whereas dna is using aptx... Its going to suck if this is truly a hardware issue...

I think Stereoclip has aptx.
So I flashed S3 back to Stock VRALF2, 4.0.x ICS, and played a couple of songs and still was getting crystal clear quality.. So it has to be the BT implementation in DNA.. Sad. Anyone has any insight into why/what could be the root cause? BT chip? DAC chip?
Thanks
If it helps any, Bluetooth audio sounds great in my 2012 Sonata.
Sent from my HTC Droid DNA
Do you know if the radio in your Sonata supports aptX?
Shoot I'm not even sure what that is. It sounds pretty much the same as when I have it plugged in tho.

I use blue tooth in my car all the time and also over the blue tooth streamer for my receiver at home.
Sounds crystal clear and I have very nice speakers in both the car and at home.

Is codec support built into blutooth or can codecs be added/modified. If so its a non issue. I would help with codec support if I were rooted

Same issue. I streamed music from the same Google Music account, on both my Rezound and DNA, to the same receiver (2010 Infinity G37S).
DNA audio quality is noticeably bad. Especially in mid and high range. It sounds like very low bitrate audio, and/or very lossy compression. The Rezound audio quality over BT is nearly the same as wired.
I suspect HTC has deliberately chose to use a low bitpool value for A2DP w/ the stock Sense ROM. DNA now supports atpX. So, they gimped A2DP stream, with the goal being to sell more of their Bluetooth Stereo Clip product, that support atpX.

If that's really the case.. shame HTC. My m25 ear piece supports aptx and sounds great playing music. In one ear...

Jaybird + dna
I have a set of jaybird freedom's myself and have had no issues with bluetooth, beats audio or audio quality. One thing i have seen though is that some roms do not handle beats over bluetooth very well. The other thing you probably should look at is to make sure that it is pairing as a stereo audio device and not a mono audio device.
+1 for horrible quality here. I use these LG blue tooth ear buds and they just sound terrible. sounded fine on my gs3...and I used one of those jbl stereo boxes and it's awful.. and again fine on the gs3. sucks.

I have a set of Sony bt headphones (bought on amazon a while back for around $40 way before DNA I had Bionic back then) that sound very good I also stream via HTC BT dongle to my Sony xplod in car with with Fosgates all around music sounds GREAT I can really tell the difference when Beats is off even more so when I flash Awesome Beats...I also noticed a setting the other day on my Sony deck for AUX VOL while messing with sub output I turned the AUX volume up now I'm really bumping hahaha

DNA Sound Quality
I hope you haven't given up entirely on your DNA since your post because there are some options you can explore.
Did you try turning off "Beats Audio" in your settings? I purchased the Power Amp music player update and Power Amp and Beats Audio don't work well together. In my experience, the standard Music player that comes with your phone works best with Beats. Other music players may also have the same problem. Second question, did your problem go away with the latest update to Jelly Bean 4.2.2?
Good Luck,
