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...

Hi
can you please confirm if this lets you play, pause, skip forward and backward.
i'm currently using in iphone headset and i cant skip backwards when playing music usind the default musig app. any help would be appreciated
Hi,
I love my SGII but im not happy with the sound quality when playing media using the 3.55mm jack. I connect the phone to my car speakers and the sound is very uneven. It goes up and down in volume and density. The sound is great though when using inbuilt speakers or through Bluetooth headset. Anyone else with this problem? I know the Carconnection is ok, cause sound is even and clear when using other phones. Any advice is appriciated.
Sry for bad english
Have you tried earphones or other headphones ? It might be your cable
Hi,
I have connected other phones with that cable to test it, and it works fine im afraid (HTC Desire, HTC Legend).
I had the same problem with my cheap earphones i had for my xperia x10 - if there is a small button that you can press, hold it down to see if that improves the quality... It did for me.
How is the audio quality on the razr with heaphones. I reaaaaaally like the phone but I currently have the revolution and its audio quality is literally poop. Anyways, its between the Razr and the Rezound and while I don't like the Rezound's response issues, Im tempted to get the rezound for the beats. Has anyone listened a great deal to music on the phone yet? Im a student and I listen from my phone a ton. Thanks!
I don't have a decent set of headphones to test this out for ya but for what it's worth the external speaker is by far the best sounding phone speaker I have ever heard. Hopefully the headphone delivery is just as good. I'll play around with the different headphones I have kicking around.
It's quite nice, and there's a few preset equalizers in sound settings to play around with.

Ill +1 you right in the face about the speaker, ive had speaker docks that dont sound as nice as the Razr, and i aint kidding
I total vouch for the audio on this phone even to the point where i tested it against the Sensation XL with beats and the beats headphones and imo the razr actually sounded better. using the same beats headphones.
The audio quality through headphones, by Pandora, was as good as any other Moto phone I've had, but the same can't be said for when I plug the phone into my car stereo/s auxiliary port while streaming pandora. It seems like the signal is weaker, and there is some software trying to compensate, which flattens the music and adds a tinny effect to the highs. This is the only real setback that I've experienced with the RAZR, and I'm hoping to get a bluetooth stereo and stream that way, if it is any better. Streaming Pandora through the Bionic in my car sounded full and amazing, I really miss it.

Pandora via Bluetooth sounds great IMHO, but I'm not really a sound buff.

Beats is really not that great no reason to buy a phone...especially if you're an audiophile it's not anything special...the sound is fine on the razr especially the speaker it's loud and clear!

I've tested the audio with the headphones that came with my razr and with my beats by dre tour in ear headphones and I think the sound is sensational, I actually for the first time using a phone as my mp3 player

I've ever used my phones as MP3 players, Milestone was the best prior knowing the RAZR sound.
well, today my phone has gone into an endless boot and Im fed up with the revolution. I called verizon and they offered me an early upgrade and since Im a tad strapped for cash, I went with the bionic. Hopefully the audio quality is better than the revo.
I am very surprised to hear anyone say they enjoyed the sound from the razr, i came from an HTC incredible and the sound of the razr was very disappointing. I use pandora thru an AUX port on my deck and literally i can't listen to music on the razr, its that bad. muffled low voice sometimes i can't even hear the voice at all! Ive tried playing with the audio settings and shutting it off completely to no avail. Ive been tethering to an old 3GS iphone witch of course sounds crystal clear perfect.
I have no interest in rooting my phone since you can tether without it but im seriously contemplating it just to try and possibly fix the sound issue with beats.

I have only found the headphone audio inferior to my HP envy 15 beats computer but there is a app that installs beats audio on the razr making it equal on the amazing quality.
i use a pair of etymotic hf5's and the audio out from thr razr is not too shabby. It doesn't sound as good as my ipod video 30gb with the Wolfson dac but it sure sounds better than the audio out of my nexus. As long as you have some decent cans, it should be comparable to most handsets. If its too muffled/quiet the razr probably doesnt put out enough juice to power the drivers in your headphones so you'll need to buy an amp. Pick up a fiio e5/e6 for $30 and you should be set.m
Qualityis also subjective and depends on what headphones you have and what type of music you listen to. I damn nearly cried the first time i used my HF5'S while listening to Pavarotti because it sounded so good. If you're a serious audiophile, id suggest you invest in an ipod classic with a lod cable, a decent pocket amp and a nice pair of audio technicas, grados,sennheiser, beyerdynamics etc.

The audio quality from RAZR is very decent. Low noise, relatively good power output to drive earphones better. I am using Unique Melody Mage; quad BA drivers custom IEMs, and very satisfied.
Sound signature : It has a bit bass bump, nice mid, and a bit softer treble
Bottom line, try it with a good earphones or IEMs, for better result.
Thank you

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.

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,
