I hear echos...my friends say they hear echos...
I'm on the new Cingular rom and I can get mine to work with MSVC 1.6 using the 09f tweak...(Thanks guys!)
Post your reviews of the Jawbone with the 8525. I'd really like to hear your experiences.
I'm taking the jawbone back tomorrow. I don't like the fit or the tinny sound or the weight. For the money I think it sucks.
d
i was thinking of getting this one too. what do you mean by the tinny sound?
I love mine. I think the ear piece could be a bit better but the sound quality is perfect. No tinny for me. I had a Nexxum Hated it never worked with the tytn. Sorry to hear it guys.
Tinny=sounds like the other party is talking through a tin can. Hopefully it was just mine but for 119 bucks I expect quality. Also it is to heavy and big compared to the jx10 and the discovery 655.

I have really small ears. I thought I needed the smallest inner ear piece. I ended up dropping it twice on Friday. I did some refitting and actually I ended up using the bigger ear piece shaped like a tear drop with the curve. That one fits much better and feels more stable.
I can almost wear it without the earloop. For me the earloop does nothing really now.
I don't get that tinny sound everyone is talking about. I have noticed though I can speak in a more normal or lower voice and people hear me just fine. THAT I LOVE!
I think the packaging is where the cost went though. I admire their take on BT headsets. They really "raised the bar" but I can't wait to see their next version.
per my review here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=291926&page=3
I have had zero trouble and still love my jawbone.
But BT are kind of like cars... everyone likes a different one.
Jawbone works flawlessly!
I have had the Jawbone for over a month now. I have had several bluetooth headsets from just about every manufacturer, the noise reduction on this headset is unmatched. It sometimes takes a few seconds for the Jawbone to key in and block the outside noise, but once it does the sound is absolutely spectacular. Take the time and find the right combination of adapters to fit your ear size and I truely believe you will not be satisfied with another bluetooth headset.
I just got one and after a driving test at 50MPH with the window 1/2 down talking with a co-worker I'm sold. He told me that it was dead silent and was so impressed that he's on his way to find one tonight. I found the audio, slightly processed, maybe slight compression which improved my perception of voice quality, not unpleasent at all. My co-worker who is also an engineer, said that my audio was very clear and the car noise was virtually gone.
Headsets fit and function is very personal. I've had the Moto 850, 700 and they are OK, just not good at background noise. Jabra was comfy, but others complained of background noise and echo. Sony's 835 strange cyclic noise in my ear, plus it fell out too easily, 435 Feels good on me, others say slight echo.
The Jawbone has 4 ear loops, and about 6 ear pieces. Using a mirror I got a perfect fit, very comfy for me as I quickly forget that it's even there. The noise cancelling is so good, others kept saying "are you still there?" till they got used to the dead silence when I'm not speaking.
I tried the vacuume running next to me test, and it's all true, the noise cancelling is simply the best there is so far.

I get echos also...but I think it is the network and not the headset. I was also getting echos with my 8125 and they usually happen when I'm in the same area.
I did have an Ah-HA moment with my Jawbone. I went to a noisey eatery Five Guys burgers and I could barely hear myself think yet the person on the phone said they heard me just fine. I'm gonna test it on the way home today with the sun roof back and the window down. IF it is all good, then I'm sold
Oh and the Jawbone works great with the MSVC 1.6 and 09f fix. Without voice command it's just a regular old pda.

Help with 09f tweak
You guys mention a '09f' fix or tweak. I've looked around for more information on this but can't seem to find anything.
I'm sorry if it's obvious, but my searching hasn't uncovered anything...
Could someone point me to the source / more information about this 09f fix?
Thanks,
Rob
Do a search for Microsoft Voice Command v1.6 in Hermes Upgrading, it's a long thread. I read thru it and it gives tips on getting voice command to work with the Hermes devices. The main contributer to the thread has created a patch file to get MSVC to work better and it's up to .09f currently. Typical Microsoft product support, slow to fix bugs.
Positive experiences w/Jawbone
I have used mine for the last 3 weeks now, and I am still VERY happy with it. The noise cancellation is not perfect, but its head and shoulders above anything else I have been able to find and try. Getting the right fit is a lot of trial and error, and also makes a significant difference in how well the noise cancellation works in use. I am using the VC v1.6 and .9f fix and all works well for me.
I love my Jawbone
I have had the Jawbone for a couple of months now. In fact, I received mine a week after they came out. I have used it on a Treo 700w with Verizon, a Blackberry Pearl with Cingular, and now a Cingular 8525. I have never experienced any issues what so ever, and have had nothing but positive results. My co-worker bought one when I did and feels exactly the same. We couldn't be happier with our purchases.
Thought I would provide an update and give some insight.
Feedback. Had my Jawbone for few months and has perform perfectly. Matter of fact, I used it several times in Data Centers and the person on the other end hardly hears the server/router backgroud noise.
Insight. I buddy of mine pointed me to the softgel ear pieces from Verizon and this has helped tremendously on the ear. For 3$ bucks go to Verizon and purchase the Mini Gels ear replacements.

I also took mine back after 3 days. The fit was HORRIBLE .. and yes, I tried all the combinations of pieces.
The incoming sound was tinny, but at the highest volume, it was loud (which i did like).
My biggest complaint, for me anyway, was the noise reduction which was non-existent. I tested it several times with a variety of different background noises and each and every time, background noise could still be heard plain as day .. even after several minutes of waiting for it to kick in (and yes the noise filter was active (white light not red)). I tried adjusting it to several places on my face hoping to get better contact between the "nipple" and my cheek, but nothing made it work.
I really wanted to like it, but for me, the $119 was money wasted as i was much more happy with my Motorola HS850.
Jawbone Vs. Everything Else
I just got the j.b and the thing is people dont say get off your bluetooth! I called everyone that was starting to complained about my current bluetooth and they all sayd i sounded fine. Seems the tinny sound (tin can) after you use it for awhile and it muffles out background noise. Before that I worked for and Independent agent and had the ability to try almost every bluetooth out there. The jabra bt250 and the 500 worked the best for me in fit. It seems though that the older my jabra 500 got the less it ws able to muffle background noise. But the way the Jawbone drowns out the background noise (wind, radio, other people) is so far more superior than anything else. The only thing is the fit. If it fit like my jabra the thing would be TITS!!!
I just got my silver Jawbone today.
The fit isnt that good yet and I've tried all the combinations of earpieces/earbuds. I think I can make it work though.
The talk button is anoying to push. I have to press the thing into my face to activate the button..
The noise cancelation works AMAZINGLY well... so props to them on that. The guy who said it doesn't work must have had a broken device or didnt understand how to turn it on. The buttons aren't "easy" to figure out but they're simple enough that after a couple tries you get it.
Voice quality is really good but it does sound kind of like they're a little far away.
This is all from using it for an hour so far.
Update: 10 minutes later.. I found and used the large round earbud and now this thing fits very very well into my ear.
After messing with it since this post it's configured about perfect now. When i first synced it to my 8525 i only heard static. i had to reset 8525 and then it worked properly.
So right now all is well. Already is better than the **** motorolas I've tried.
Update: Buttons are still anoying.

Hi all,
I have had my Jawbone for a while now. I drive a 86 CJ7 with no top. This is the only headset that anyone can hear me on while driving down the freeway.
The only drawback that I have encountered is the fit. Why couldn't they just take a hint from Jabra with thier earbuds. Everyone can hear me now and I can't hear anyone becuase it does not block out all the noise that I hear.
A few of you on here have said that you used a different type of ear bud. I am wide open to suggestions. I looked at the verizon website. Still looking for a mminigel earbud, but since I don't know what headset they were designed for makes it a little harder.
Please let me know what earbuds you guys are using with the Jawbone.
Thanks
Joe
RadioShack has these headphones on clearance for $80 and through June 3rd you can take an additional 50% off that, bringing the price down to $40. I bought these a few months ago and love them. They dont have as much control as the Motorola HS820's (only one action buttion instead of a separate music and telephone one), but the range is amazing. I get a full 300ft, not 30, with my 8125. The HS820's are on clearance for $80 too, but you only get to take off an extra 30%. making them about $56.
For those who have ipods, theres also a device called the naviplay that adds A2DP to the ipod for about $25 after discounts. I picked one of those up today. These are brick and mortar deals, not through the website.
Got a pair
Saw your post, called the local stores. Second store I called had one pair. Charging now...thanks
Great Find!
Do they suffer from the hiss and pop problem that some other headphones have?
I never noticed any popping. I think they sound pretty damn good. There is also a coupon for $10 off a $30+ purchase. Something they're doing for fathers day. Technically not supposed to be combinable with clearance stuff, but you may be able to do it. They usually keep extras in the store. You could go up to a clerk and say you forgot your coupon at home and ask if they'll give you another one or just ring you up with it. That'd bring the total for the headphones down to $30.
I just got em and tested them really quik, there is no hiss or pops that I notice and I have made no changes to the BT stereo settings on my phone! GREAT FIND!
Still Smoking
Cheers everyone,
Thanks for the great advice on the Spider headphones for 40 bucks. I went right out and got myself a pair. For that price, how could you go wrong. Plus, it is at radioshack, so no problems with returns.
I have been researching bluetooth headsets for some time and did see that these were smaller than some of the other headsets. I have worn them for hours at a time and find them very light and comfortable for long time listening.
I did see where some people were having battery charging problems right out of the box, so I was ready for that. I returned 2 pair before getting it all right on the 3rd one. It did not take long to figure out that the battery was having problems. The guy at the store just gave me another one without any hassles or questions.
I have been using the stereo headset that came with my cingualr 8125 for about 8 months and was very tired of the wired headest. I was reading about all of you guys partying with your cordless bluetooth stereo headset and was just waiting for the right time to make the move. I was hearing that some people were having all sorts of problems including gaps in the music.
It was the right time for me, as the new Bluetooth stuff all seems to work almost perfectly. By the Way, I do LOVE my 8125!!! I have watched all of the ROM stuff for months, and finally made the change to a Windows Mobile 6 ROM with the help from all of you cool *****ing Dudes (sorry, I am a California Santa Cruz Surfer) That is just my way of saying thanks!!!
All of the controll functions seem to work on the stereo headset. Once again I have a WM6 ROM with all of the fixes to the bluetooth stuff... I can controll music functions, answer the phone and have the music pause, and then resume after the call without problems.
Once again thanks to everyone that makes this internet site possible. These 8125's are so COOL and have so many possibilities! My next adventure with this phone will be with GPS.
Keep on Chill'in and Grill'in
Alright so I had a pair of motorola s9s for about 3 weeks before sweating on them at the gym broke them.
Does anyone know of any decent bluetooth headphones that are reliable (battery doesn'd die after a month etc. etc.) that work well with the G1?
I have the first generation Motorola bluetooth stereo headphones, the HT820. I originally purchased them back in 2007 to use with my t-mobile MDA (HTC Wizard), and they worked well then and they continue to work now. They are much bigger than anything Motorola has out now, but they do work. I currently have Cyanogen's ROM on my G1 and they did work with the original cupcake ROM from T-Mobile. These headphones also have a built in mic so you can take phone calls.
Hope this helps.
I recently purchased the Samsung SBH500 headphones. I have only had them for a few weeks so I cannot tell you long term reliability but I have really enjoyed using them. I have taken them on a run a few times and have had no trouble yet. I have read a few reviews of people complaining that they are unconfortable and ears get hot when working out with them. I have not experienced either. I have found these more comfortable than other around-the-neck sets. The ear padding is a little thick but it sort of muffles the ambient noise. I have found the audio quality for music and calls both outstanding. I would recommend these if you were looking for over the ear headphones.
You should try contacting Motorola about your s9s. When researching BT headphones, I seem to remember reading that Motorola knows that this is an issue. Perhaps they will swap these out for you. Good Luck!
S9-HD
I thought the S9's are supposed to be sweat resistant. I have a S9-HD and they seem to be holding up fine. I've been using them on runs and bike rides for a couple months now. I do admit though that not much sweat gets to them cuz most of my sweat evaporates as I run. When I stop moving, I start pouring sweat, which is when the headphones get hit the hardest. They're still working great.
I haven't tried the jaybird bluetooth headphones. They're supposedly water and sweat resistant. They sound like they're the bomb. I'm tempted to get a set. Here's a link for more info:
http://www.jaybirdgear.com/bluetooth-stereo-headphones-features.php
Hey guys thanks for all the replies!
I actually just ordered a pair of samsung sbh170's (if i remember correctly) they didn't have to many complaints besides being to small.
If they don't work i will definetly be checking out the sbh500's they look really nice, and i might get a pair for non gym use too. ( I never knew internet radio at work could be so addictive.)
I checked out the jaybirds before i bought the samsungs that should be coming in a couple days. They had mixed reviews on amazon, just like the s9's, and cost around $100-$120 so i think i'm gonna keep my distance from those, I'm a college student lol.
As for the s9's I didn't have the HD's, I had the older versions, which were apparently less sweat resistant than the new ones. I took them appart and it looks like the main circuit board got covered in sweat (there is discoloration).
I had initially thought it was the battery, but that would be hard to replace. The battery in them is a no name most likely chinese peice of crap, if anyone else is having a problem with the battery you may be able to retrofit a rechargable AAA batery in ( i played around with a voltmeter and the old battery appeared to be 1.5V's) but that would take a little bit of time and patients, I only paid 30 bucks for them, and used them pretty consistently for a month (pretty much every day at the gym too.)
If I had paid $100 at best buy then I would be more upset. I really liked the form factor on them and they were really nice to use at the gym, which is what upset me most about them breaking, its hard going back to wired headphones lol
I've broken two sets, 1 LG and the other I think was a Jabra set. They had both broken around the earpiece in almost the same place because of the plastic they used. While I didnt have any other issues with them, they only lasted about 3 or 4 weeks each.
I went with the s9's for the firm form also... I just made sure to wipe my head and the headset every so often and completely take them off when im cooling down. I will be implementing some fancy vinyl aka electrical tape on them soon to help from getting sepage into the control panels.
The sbh170's look good cause they are more flexible but the 500's look to be almost the same design of the two sets that I had. If I can find the LG set i'll snap a pic and show you what I mean.
i got the sony dr-bt101 headphones about a month ago and they work great. the only thing is they're a little big and over the ear not behind the neck..

I use the HT850's mentioned earlier in this thread. they're a little big and (as someone else commented somewhere on xda) make me look princess leiah-ish but the sound good and work well w/ the G1.
For anyone wanting a cheap set I recommend the Insignia NS-BTHDP.
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?type=product&id=1185267960408
I got these almost a year ago and take them to the gym and snowboarding regularly so they have been dropped, smashed and covered in snow a lot. I picked mine up off of ebay with $10 winning bid (shipped). They aren't fancy but have survived well for being so cheap.
These are on their way to me. I'll let you all know what I think of them.

You guys would use those headphones while working out? Do they stay in place while jogging? Are they sweat resistant? Just from the looks of them, they are too bulky for me (at least while working out).

My s9's died yesterday... I mean DIED, they wont chrage no matter what
As much as I hate to go back to wired devices I really like the options the ones you picked up give. Small and simple with good support (body wide clip).
So please post when you can
I Have a question for you guys. I want a headset that I can listen to music with while wearing it on only one ear, so not headphones but a headset that has the A2DP and AVRCP. IF you guys know about one let me know because that way I can listen to music at work and look like im actually working hard.
http://www.jaybirdgear.com/bluetooth-stereo-headphones-features.php I have these but the audio goes in and out on my G1 and even worst on my laptop.
Get the Plantronics 855. The second earpiece is removable, and without it looks just like the HFP-only 815 but still plays at A2DP quality.

OK so they showed up today. I have them charging at work and will give them a go when I run tonight. I'll post results either tonight or tomorrow morning.
update: Well I can't get them to pair. They paired up fine with my nokia N95, but android is having trouble. If I could get it to let me enter the passcode 0000 manually, I am sure it would work. Any ideas?
update2: OK so I got them paired, finally, but they dont seem to be working. I got them connected but theres no sound coming through them. They do work well with my n95 however so that's even more frustrating. Sound quality is OK, but I am going to try and return them. Any questions before I do?
i sweat a whole lot and have yet to find any wireless that can stand up to the abuse. i bought the adapter from HTC that includes a mic and 3.5 adapter. 10 bucks from t mobile.
while it still has wires it hasnt fallen victim to the sweat. FML in Alabama during the summer.
ive seen mixed reviews what do you guys think?
I bought one on ebay, possible fake, not quite sure. The item had amazing clarity in sound quality, however it kept breaking up over and over and didn't work in my pocket while walking.
Since then I've ordered the Jabra BT3030 and couldn't be happier with the item. It works flawlessly no matter where my Android is.
Mine should arrive in a day or two. I can then give comments on quality.
I really hope mine will work better than BamaNZ's.
thanks for replies i just hot a pair of s9-hds from a seller who sold 89 woth 100 percent positive feedback for about 40 bucks(he he look at me trying to be all american) i hope its not fake
bought a pair of real non-HD's and I would figure if you're not using them for any activity they are GREAT!!! sound good, fairly comfortable, easy to use... but as soon as you sweat in them... say GOODBYE!!! It goes downhill here from there.
I have the s-9 also and man they suck . Now I'm really not sure if its cause of the bluetooth
But when I walk with these things it skipps like a cd player. What I have to do is place the phone in my back pack so it doesn't bounce. Then and only the will I get good flow of audio.
Then they sound great. Call quality isn't that great either. I get a lot of static.

awww man but i figure ill cut out the skipping by putting my phone in my inside pocket which is closer to the headset
I have had the S9's for a while and I used them on the SE p990i, MDA, Laptop, and the G1. I must say as far as sound quality goes the s9's are really good, and thats about it. It works best with my laptop, if you plan on moving around (walking, running) etc then not recommended. On all the mobile devices it breaks up a lot especially when there are other cellular devices around you. I'm looking to replace mine with something that has the sound quality of the s9 or better and one that doesn't break up as much.
i received my s9-hds today and they sound awesome the only problems are they are uncomfortable at first and im not sure if i look like an idiot with them
The HDs blow the regular s9s out of the water. I bought a pair and they sounded much better. They are uncomfortable at first, but you get used to them.

youre right, i took them to the gym today and after a while i forgot they were there
Thanks! I glad y'all brought this subject up. I was about to replace my HT820 Moto headphones with the s9. I think I need some with a better range. Kinda scares me if you can't even get good reception with the cell in your pocket, lol. I guess I go with the Jabra then. My old moto 820 had great range and sound quality but are like 4 years old and are falling apart.
i find mine work fine if i pair them outdoors but if i was in your situation i wouldnt risk it either
I had mine for two years now ,, best bt/headphones ever ,, what I did with mine was, I took the cushions off of a cheap pair of headphones I had and placed them over the small buds of the s9 , now my s9 sounds like a bose system ...

thanks thats a great idea im going to try it with the ones that came with my g1
I picked up a set from newegg a year or two ago and like them alot
i work outside all day so sweat did kill the mic
but as use for a headset it works fine
I also had issues that seemed like the phone was a bit far away, but i think thats because of the sidekick i was using
I now use a Zune 120 and earbuds and use the S9s for my PC, I should try them on the G1 soon
the jabra BT303 looks nice, if i would have known about it before the S9 i would have went that way so i can use my own earbuds
however if you dont plan on sweating and like the big cushy style i just saw the motorola S805 on newegg for $25
you cant beat that, in fact for the price i may pick up a set
for the PC

I have the Motorola HT820 (I think thats the one). It was their original bluetooth headset. A little big and maybe even a bit ugly but the sound quality is great, although a bit low for my taste, but no skips and great for exercise since they go over and around the ears. They tend to bother after an hour of wearing them or so.
Plus you get over 10 hours of use per charge!
only problem I have is that you can't control the music (I.E. pause, play, next/previous track) with the hero rom or most of the developed roms, or atleast I haven't gotten it to work. Only with the stock rom will the functions work. Still, volume up and down works...

Does anyone have a pair? I'm not looking for something audiophile quality. More something nice, wireless and comfortable (worry about that part with this set). They are <$100 on Motorola right now.

Any other recommendations. Since it's a 2-day sale, kinda wanted to jump on them, but I figured I'd give my CC a break for a few minutes first.

I bought a pair for my wife earlier this year for her birthday and she absolutely loves them. The audio quality is quite good for a bluetooth pair of headphones and the range is amazing. They're also very light and have good battery life. She actually uses them at the gym a lot and she says they don't get in the way and are comfortable. Noise isolation is good as well since she uses them to drown out other people talking to her when she's trying to work.
At $99 I would say they're definitely worth it.

I bought a pair for my wife earlier this year for her birthday and she absolutely loves them. The audio quality is quite good for a bluetooth pair of headphones and the range is amazing. They're also very light and have good battery life. She actually uses them at the gym a lot and she says they don't get in the way and are comfortable. Noise isolation is good as well since she uses them to drown out other people talking to her when she's trying to work.

Thanks. Was thinking of using them at the gym (not on treadmill). Maybe I can get my wife to order them for me as an early Xmas present
...and they're gone.
Check out the Jaybirds BluebudsX. I've had mine about 15 months and they are the best bluetooth earphones I've had. Especially if you plan on doing physical activities with them. They sound fantastic, are super comfortable, have a great range, and battery is great for something the size they are.

Thanks. I've heard great things about the BlueBudsX... unfortunately I can't trust anything in-ear to stay in. I've had countless buds... none stay unless they are over the ear. My ears are a bit misshaped. Not like horror movie, nor really noticeable at all... but nothing stays in on me. I had my ubilical cord wrapped behind my ears and across my forehead when I was born, which makes me think that was the root cause. I don't think I'll run in these... I doubt they are the slightest bit water resistant. I have a pair of cheap over-the-ears that I run with now that I will continue to use.
FYI, these went back instock and still 50% off if anyone is interested.
I own the Sol Republic Tracks Air. I think they're amazing, but then once I installed ViPER4ANDROID, boy, you have no idea. Better than some more audiophile-style headphones.
