Anybody have experience with the Ultimate Ears TripleFi 10s? - Motorola Droid RAZR

I'm especially interested in knowing whether or not the "vi" version's mic and remote are compatible with the Droid RAZR.
I bought a pair of S4As off the internet, but the sound quality didn't cut it for me, and they were dysfunctional on top of that. These I'm returning.
I also have an old pair of Shure SE215s, but its $60 (shipping included) for a new cable that includes the mic and remote.
I'm getting around 80 bucks back for the S4As, but I'm weighing spending $160 for a pair of new TripleFis.
So do the mic+remote of the TripleFi work, and if so/or not, should I get them?
Thanks

Motorola S9 or HT820 or ___?

Looking into buying a stereo bluetooth headset for my wing, but not sure what's really out there, or which ones are better. Any suggestions would be appreciated
I did a little bit of research on this topic and recommended HT820 for my brother in law. He bought them on ebay for under $30 brand new. Good reviews (bulkiness was one of the biggest concerns which is find with me) and fit the budget! I will let you know once he get's them. Good luck.
I was thinking of going with the 820, but didn't know if there is much difference between either of them, or if there was something better out in the market.
I got the Plantronics 855, and I love it. Works very well, and has great sound quality. A little pricey at $129 USD, but worth it.
I have the moto S9.. I love it. best price is from Amazon I think.
I even choose stereo a2dp over an iPhone.

Damn, and to think I got the motorola s9s when they first came out at around $99. But you know what ... I still have them, they're good, and it's something I'd definitely recommend getting, (especially for $44.99). So go get 'em for pete's sake and terminate this thread, LOL.
s9's have problems Ive tried 3 headsets and the Insignia ns-bthdp seam to be the best, they pair up soooo easy, they fit on the ear not in the ear,don't have to worry about sweat messing them up,they are super LOUD and clear,you can lay in a chair and listen to music ,and the kicker........you can hear calls and watch movies or videos you downloaded in stereo just my 2 cents.
I love my S9's.
I also have the Motorola S9 and i love the inear plugs. Better than all normal headphones. It is small, light and connects without any problems!
BTW - i only payed 34€

Nokia Bluetooth earphones

Been hearing that audio over bluetooth sounds better and have been wanting to NOT worry about dropping my Lumia every time I fish it out of my pocket to change a song. So, I've been searching the web over for a great deal on the BH-111.
Found it on Expansys-usa and it the black version just became available for $30.00 USD, while another black is 34.99 and the new colors ar 44.99. Of course, I went for the least expensive since I didn't actually need them. Shipping soon. Will report back on quality.

Audio over Bluetooth should sound worse, as it's compressed, but whether it will be noticeable to everyone, I don't know (I have an A2DP headset and it sounds OK to me).
Interested to hear more about them. Look great.
They just arrived. I've never used earbuds that fit into the canal. Wierd, like wearing earplugs. Sound is good. Better than my Sennheiser MX95. Probably because of the in-ear fit. Down the line, I'll invest in nicer ear phones. In the meantime, these are quite decent.
Sound, to my ears, is the exact same... wired or via bluetooth.
Oh... a few days ago one of the foam pads fell off on my Sennheiser. So, I removed the other until I could get replacements. The sound was horrendous. I understood the complaints people had. It was so horrid that I used local scout to find and call a few Radio Shacks that were still open and then got driving directions. Yeah, I LOVE local scout.
edit: I just purchased the Sennheiser OCX 880 for $34.99 (down from $60, down from $100+) to replace both sets that I currently have. Will see if I can make a few bucks on my MX 95 via online auction.
Update - after an ear irrigation today, I can definitely tell the difference between the BH-111 earbuds and the Sennheiser MX95. The Nokia earbuds aren't so great. Still loving the bluetooth though.

best earphones with mic (NOT in-ear)

I'm looking for a pair of earphones with a mic, but I do not want the kind that seal into your ear canal. I always feel like they're trying to suck my brain out & eat it. so I just want regular old earphones with a mic, preferably under $50. are the apple earpods the best in this price range, or is there anything better? 90% of the ones I see in this price range are the in-ear type and I'm automatically not considering those.
(and obviously I want this to be compatible with android devices)
Not sure about in-ears, and I haven't heard the earpods yet. For over-ears though, here's my opinion.
Overears:
I'd say the MonoPrice 8323 coupled with a microphone compatible wire... The MonoPrice 8323 are some of the best headphones you will see under $50, and the total price of them comes down to less than $30. They don't come with a mic, but the wire is removable so you can replace the wire with a mic-including one (probably can find one for less than $10).
8323's:

Heck, even this wire should work:

The SkullCandy Hesh 2.0 aren't terrible if you are a basshead, and they come with a Mic. Better bass than the 8323, but the clarity is a lot worse.

Beats Powerbeats 2 Wireless (Bluetooth)

Just got a set of them, granted the price $159 was a little steep. I just didn't want wires, and working out with the Note 3 its a little tough. I was looking on amazon and best buy, but needed to go to target for some house stuff and walked by and saw them for 159 instead of 199 everywhere else. I guess its a 3 day sale according to the clerk that rang me up. The website says 199, but they are on sale in the store. Ill take a pic of the receipt later today...
Sound amazing and have a mic too. Full phone capabilities too. Best part wireless...
Beats Audio - for those more concerned with image than quality.
Bad choice. Sorry to sound harsh but, basically, you have paid a 40% premium for a brand name, and not a particularly good one at that. You could have gotten a far better wireless solution for less money, and they would have had a frequency response that didn't involve the mid and upper ranges being overpowered and ruined by ludicrous levels of bass like all Beats Audio headphones and buds. Just one example are JBL J46BTs which you could have gotten for near half the price. There are others.
Yeah they are over priced but so are many things we buy. How do you like them? I bought some wireless Jaybirds Bluebuds X locally for $55 and i love them but i like the design of the Beats better.

Yea, I like them they sound great. Granted the price is higher than most they are the only ones that fit my ears correctly and comfortably. I hate having earphones fall out when i am running or zipping while mountain biking. Sure Beats is expensive, they sound good, feel great.
I tried theses - JBL Synchros Reflect BT In-Ear Bluetooth Headphones with Mic - Black (JBLREFLECTBTBLK) they are $100 dollars, they would pull out because they don't wrap around the ears. I also tried I tried Bose's SIE2i headphones, but the volume was far too low. They are great headphones but wanted something wireless.
Comfort - I wore these for 4 hours straight doing yardwork today. My ears didn't ache or felt uncomfortable.
Bluetooth - connects instantly, long range is great approx 30-45 feet outside, and have not experienced any skips or connection interruptions yet.
Mic - Great for calls can hear the other party on the line, and they can hear me great.
Price - $159, But in my opinion, they're worth it.
Its like anything, as a Mechanic I buy SNAP-ON, why because they are top tier when it comes to tools. Smooth and allow the ratchets to move in a few degrees to get what you need done. We all buy Brands that we like. Whether its clothing or what not. 200 dollars is steep, but 159 I needed to try them to make sure they fit and got the Job Done.
take care of them they brake way too fast agree with the other guys you could got a better deal you could bought some lg tone which last you 10h+ straight for a cheaper price also
Comparing Snap-On tools to Beats is disingenuous. Snap-On are worth the premium you're expected to pay, Beats are not.
Looking online here in the UK at least, the Beats retail for around £160 and the JBLs for around £70. You also have the Jabra Rox which can be picked up for around £90. Both of which have better sound quality than the Beats offering.

Not sure how the beats sound but I just got a pair of jaybird freedoms for $30. They sound great. I've tried a few bluetooth headsets and they are the best I've used. The only issue I have is I have to put a tie in the cord that connects the earpieces otherwise it hangs on my neck and sticks while I jog. Other then that they are great especially at $30.
My beats2 wireless earphones won't pair with galaxy alpha HELP
I got these for $14 on Amazon lightning, but they are worth $25. The first pair went back under warranty repair.
Overall, they are great. Battery life is awesome, and they are, in fact, waterproof! ( The second pair I got I inadvertently left outside in the rain for 24 hours once and they still work fine)

jbl with note 3
Hi guys,i i have my new bluetooth speaker jbl 3 and i have a problem when i connect it with my note 3.when i play music from my library,everything is ok.if i turn on the wi fi (to play music by live radios or you tube)it disconnect!after 1-2 minutes connects again for a while and after that disconnect again.has anybody problem like this with his note?
Just got me a pair of the PowerBeats 2 wireless at Best Buy for $99. Not sure how long the sale is going to be. I don't understand why people give it so much flak. The market is there to give choices to the customer. Animosity towards those that purchase Beats is like someone being upset someone bought Nike Jordans or UA Currys for basketball shoes over another more affordable brand.
I have the Bluebuds X that I purchased last year and Bluebuds X2 that I purchased when they came out. For what they are marketed for, they are by far the best. The market isn't for audiophiles. It's for people that need them for an active lifestyle. I can't speak for everyone else but they work great for the upbeat music I listen to when I work out.
The fit when compared to my Bluebuds X & X2 is much better. I can wear them without them falling out during a sweaty cardio session and they don't irritate my ears like the wings on the Bluebuds do.
Sound quality wise I think everything in the $100 - 200 price range for the most part sound the same in regards to bluetooth headsets (please read https://learn.sparkfun.com/tutorials/bluetooth-basics to understand the limitations of bluetooth headphone technologies). The differences are subtle enough that if you aren't actively trying to critique them, it sounds the same. Also keep in mind the source file quality. Let's just be honest, many people utilize one or another type of streaming service. The free ones are typically music compressed down to anywhere between 64-128 kbps for free streaming, and caps out at 320 kbps for paid services. I highly doubt anyone has a lossless 1411 kbps audio collection on their phone/ipod/etc. Unless you have a lossless audio collection, the differences in sound quality for BT headphones in this price range are for the most part negligible. What's noticeable are the preconfigured EQ settings of the headset. (I.E beats products tend to be a "U" with a focus on bass and treble, Bluebuds for the most part are flat with slightly more emphasis on mids).
For specific comparison, the Bluebuds when comparing to the Powerbeats 2, the Beats have much clearer bass response, mids and highs are comparable. Overall, I prefer the listening experience with the Powerbeats because with my Bluebuds there are times when the music sounds artificially filtered.
Bluebuds have a much better sound isolation, whereas the Powerbeats are designed to allow some ambient noise so that if you have them in while running/gym/exercising you'll still be aware of your environment.
Just my two cents.
