[Q] How is your bluetooth headset sound? - Motorola Photon 4G

Hi,
I didn't see anyone complain about their bluetooth headset audio quality, so this might just be my issue with my jawbone II. The jawbone is about 2 years old, so not the top of the line, but I get a lot of hissing and noise when using it. Is that just my jawbone, or is that typical of bluetooth headsets?
I thought it was digital, so should be pretty good?
Thanks.

Blueant [email protected], and T1 are clear as day

I use my moto s9-hd. No problems here.

I have a Jawbone icon and era and they both sound great.

No problems here either.

Blueant Q1 and Moto S10-HD both sound fine.

Plantronics voyager pro+ here and its crystal clear. I talk on the phone a ton and it works great except for occasionally dropping the connection and reverting to the phone...spent all day on the phone friday and it happened a few times. Other than that no issues.

Had a rocketfish headset that sounded great and worked well for a couple months. But, you get what you pay for. After about 4 months it stopped holding a charge.

Well, according to the samsung vibrant FAQs, yes bluetooth stereo headsets are supported (A2DP, AVRCP).
i'm still shopping for one myself, but i heard that those and the s9-HDs are good but i think motorola is now up to s10.
i'm also looking for a stereo headset, and i'm stuck in between the BlueAnt Q2 and Samsung Modus 3500.
Ok Thanks. Yea I found them somewhere for like 35$ if.I.find the link again ill post it up

It supports stereo through any 3.5mm headphone jack enabled device or via a2dp.

I have the S9, non HD, and love them. I was going to upgrade to the S10 but I actually read somewhere that they aren't as good as the S9, so I'm sticking with what I got. I got them for like $40 from newegg.

Bluetooth functional questions, SPP, HID, 2.1 etc.

My Dad wants to go the Android route and I want to tell him to get the Thunderbolt but Bluetooth is the single most important function he uses in his car. He has a 2010 Volkswagen Jetta Diesel. It pairs fine with blackberry phones.
I know that the Droid Incredible only worked with cyanogen. I'm just curious for some information on the Thunderbolt. Thanks for looking. XDA has been an amazing resource.

Well the TB is going to be capable of using Bluetooth 3.0 so I'm sure its pretty capable
I use it as a Bluetooth mp3 in my truck, it automatically pairs just fine

Let me ask you... I have a 2011 Sonata and I have notice a little cracking noise when I playing music pretty loud. Now the noise is somewhat low but you can hear it more when raising the volume. Wanted to see if anyone else had this issue.
So wait it's a 3.0 device? I thought it was a 2.1???
I had a lot of problems with this on the Droid Incredible. It's the same reason why wi motes would not work with the Incredible when we tried to pair them using bluetooth. Has this issue been resolved on the Thunderbolt?
I loaded Cyanogen on the Incredible which had a different bluetooth stack native to its build. This resolved the problem on the Incredible and I am looking for verification that by default the Thunderbolt does not have the issue.
If so I will ditch my Incredible too.
thanks,

When 3.0 becomes available they will update the Bluetooth stack to.support it... It has the hardware for it just not software
And as far as I know the thunderbolts Bluetooth stack is up to date instead of being behind like the Dinc

Bluetooth

So, not that it's SUPER important. But I just got done dialing my system in my truck in. Put all the speakers in, sub, amps, head unit, etc etc. And I got a model with bluetooth. And I must say, it's legit. I can stream music via it from my phone, take calls and it'll mute the music so I can take the call. I recommend to anyone that drives and talks a lot to do this. It's not too much and it's very helpful and sounds decent too.
been doing that in my car for a couple years now... Love it. But for some reason my MoFo will drop the BT connection after playing music for about 20 mins. Well maybe drop the connection is the wrong thing to say, it is still connected, still get message notifications through the Headunit, but it stops streaming the music....
Are you using the stock music player?

My issues seem to only be in wife's car with a newer jvc unit. I have an older eclipse unit and it works decent but no audio interupts

Just put a jvc unit in my work car. Damn its sweet. Love being able to stream music without the aux cable.
Also mine has a bt remote so i cab skip tracks through Pandora or any of the other music apps without using the phone.
This and the unlimited Pandora apk is the best combo ever.

Do you guys leave your bt enabled on your phones? Never really used anything Bluetooth except for my ps3 so i don't know how much it would affect battery life leaving it on.

Is everyone having pretty good call quality on both ends? And what kinda set do you run? Stock? Just a head unit?

Mine is a jvc kdr520 I got off Crutchfield. Call quality is great. I had my wife call me from the car and its all clear as it gets.

Jvc av794 i think. Works awesome. Names of songs pop up via bt through music app. Calls also work great. Car has a factory 9 speaker h/k otherwise
I also have an eclipse cd5030 and call quality sucks. But its been that way with all phones. I think the car is too loud and there is no echo cancellation sw.
Factory speakers otherwise. And a 10 inch sub.

Right on. I'm running four mids two tweets two amps and a sub. The amp is actually kinda handy for call volume.

Best stereo Bluetooth headset?

The Motorola s10- hd was nice but wife count hear me. Anyone else have any luck with something else?
Sent from my SGH-I777 using xda premium
Have always used jawbone prime or icon, never had any issues with hearing or be heard in either loud or quiet environments. Abit pricey but worth the investment. Both my wife and I are currently using the Icon and now she's on the S2 also. Lol
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 using XDA App
I have the Jawbone Era and love it, but not stereo. I used the Icon which was great too, amazing noise cancellation with both.
I tested them while on a motorcycle with open headers, the person on the other line had no idea. That good.

Jabra
I've tried quite a few different Bluetooth setups but i keep going back to the Jabra BT3030. You can get it on eBay for about $20. Its loud andbhas good distance and best of all you can use any headphones you want with it. I have had mine a little over a year and use it at the gym atleast five days a week and the battery still doesn't have any fade to it.

Hi all,
Does anyone know of a bluetooth headset that integrates well with Google Now? I currently have a LG HBS700, but it will not work with Google Now.
Thanks!

Are you able to use all the GoogleNow functions, e.g. ask for directions, send a text message, etc? Did you have to tweak it at all to get it to work?
Thanks!

Jawbone.. they are pretty Much the best bt headset you can get. They have all the functionality you could need.

My Motorola Sliver Elite only works while in-call or listening to media. No commands work at all.
Seems BlueAnt headsets work
None of my Motorola devices work. I use the MotoRKR T505 in my car. No voice commands, text messages don't read out. BlueAnt does have a mobile app to use with their devices.

This is a pretty handy thread so I will add mine to the list.
Jawbone Prime - only works for calls. no commands.
darn! I have the original Jawbone and it's paired with my DNA. Ihaven't tried with calls yet but, it won't give any other audio? Music etc? Also not having luck with my RocketFish RF-MAB2
I don't think it is the headset. It appears to be an issue with the way bluetooth is implemented.
http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=34348
I purchased a Jabra Extreme to replace my Jawbone Prime. Works just the same. The mic is not used for any voice input other than phonecalls.
I'm wondering if the people that say their headset works really did test with a voice-to-text app.
I have been using the BlueAnt Commute http://www.myblueant.com/products/speakerphones/commute/
It is working with reading the text messages but I cannot figure out how to voice call a contact. The instructions do not work on the DNA. Instead of searching the contacts, it searches the yellow pages and web for the name I provide.
