I know I'm early to the game as not many people have this pre-launch... but for those of you who were lucky enough to get your hands on one [or if this thread persists to launch date...] :
Is it just me, or does the sound quality when streaming BT just plain awful? I can't find anywhere in the settings to adjust the EQ when on BT. I'm fearing that the sound quality was tuned specifically for the included iBeats headphones (which are pretty good so far).
I spend a lot of time commuting, and used to use my Thunderbolt as my primary music source (streaming BT to Lexus IS350, which has a great sound system)... I've spent 2 days with the Rezound, and am seriously considering going back to the TB.
Anyone having similar experience? Am I dumb and there's a setting somewhere?
well, no re:Zound here yet, but my experience using bluetooth for music just isn't as good as going through AUX.
Ive spent about $2,000 on the speakers, amps & subs in my car and tried using my TB both through AUX and BT. I found the sound quality to be noticably better with the AUX. You can get a short 3' gold tipped cable at Radio Shack for about $5 - $10.
Yeah, my wife's Bluetooth (Moto ROKR) unit does a pretty poor job of reproducing music from her phone. It's good enough for her, I guess. I have not tried the Rezound on her system yet. If I get a chance, I will let you know.
I have tried the Rezound on my Line In in my car, and the extra bass is a little annoying. I turn up the bass in my car as it is, for radio playback, CD playback, Pandora playback, etc. When I start the HTC music player, my normal bass settings add to the Beats bass amplification and things are a little over-the-top in the low end.
That's to be expected, Dan. Your car has an equalizer built in, so you're putting one eq over another. Turn beats off or use the other dolby or whatever one, then use your cars eq...or turn down your cars eq and use beats. That eq was designed for headphones, though

The thunderbolt has Bluetooth 2.1 and the Rezound has 3.0
Differences between them is 3.0 uses less power, transmits at a higher distance, but has lower quality. It really is meant for phone calls and not music, I'd suggest finding an FM transmitter or AUX line if your car has it. Both are really cheap and much higher quality than even the 2.1 bluetooth.
about the EQ bit, yeah... since i have the subs in back, i let them handle the low's 100%.. all the other speakers handle just the mids/highs.
oh and i remember when i went to get my head unit at a local car audio shop, i mentioned using blue tooth for music and the salesman gave me a strange look and stated that blue booth isn't geared towards music and said to stick with aux. heh
Are they any I jump in and out of my truck a lot and hate to take my phone out of the car

I have these. They work really well in terms of audio quality and battery life. Biggest challenge is getting the buds and inserts to feel comfortable while keeping them snug.

Best, perhaps one of the most expensive. Yet they are the best in the market. A2DP, noise canceling and amazing comfort. I wear it all day long and never get tired. Also use it with grooveip and make VoIP calls free via google voice.

Are there Bose stereo ones? I have Motorola S9s and I think that they are great.

Currently using these - good quality, good sound. No deep bass if thats what you're in to.

I use the Jabra Clipper so I can change the headphones. It's a little bluetooth dongle that has a mic attached and you can use any miniplug headphone with it. Charges over micro USB, also--and we all have those.
I'm waiting for the new stereo headset from Sony: Smart Wireless Headset pro.
I have these as well as the motorola s9
The jaybirds are plain awesome
Great sound and noise suppression.
Listening
voice control
Calls
All work flawlessly. Can get 16 hours out of a charge and the range is great

yuuuup
I love the Sony MW600 stereo bluetooth headset. It is $59 (same as the Clipper) but it has up to 8.5 hours talk time, connects to 3 devices, accepts any 3.5 mm stereo earbuds/headphones, has an FM radio, and best of all has a display that shows the current song playing from BT devices that support this feature. It supports rewind, fast forward, pause, play, cue, and review.
There is an annoying volume control that uses a touch sensitive bar.
The stereo sound is outstanding. The quiet is quiet. I do not hear any noise or hiss in the background.
I have tried many stereo BT headsets. This one is my favorite because of the sound quality, the display, and battery life. I listen to music and audio books all day with it. It saves having to pull out my player to change volume or rewind a track and so on.

I am looking at these. Are they any good? I have small ears and need something to hold the ear pieces in place.

Very clear and very loud compared to any others in the market. You can try them for 30 days and return in case you're not happy. After about 10 mins, I could not take them out they were so comfortable!

+1. Had these headphones for about 2 years now and it still works. Battery doesn't seem to last for 8 hrs of straight use anymore, but its still one of my favorites.
I'm surprised the included headset is quite good. Never had a reason to replace.

Bought a "cheap" set of RocketFish for gym and cycling and have been very impressed with them. This way a year or two ago so I'm sure there are alot more options out there now but they are still holding a strong charge and holding up well.
I just go the jaybird from best buy with a 20% discount coupon I got from buying my phone from them.
It sounds good, but I get audio dropouts on occasion which are bothering me a bit. I'm not entirely sure I'm going to keep them. The one thing I'm very surprised about is that it comes with over the ear cuffs to help keep them on even better.
I got myself the GOgroove AudioACTIVE and I mow with them and I am able to hear them over my mower I am also able to take calls and have been told that they can hear me better than my plantronics voyager pro. got them for 39.00$ on amazon.
Do any of these headsets work with S Voice and voice to text?

I have used the MW600 for almost a year. It works great, good battery life, and you can plug any headset you want into it (like the other person said the stock headphones it comes with are decent).
I went ahead and ordered the MW600 from Amazon, was 40.25 then, should get them tomorrow. Thanks!

Based on this and what others are saying, I think I am going to get these as well. I LOVE the fact that they come in WHITE to go along with my White Note.
One question, how long is the cord for the included headset?
Thanks!
Ok so I got the Samsung hs3000 and I have my note in my work truck I have the aux cord running from my phone to my radio to play siriusxm and when I run it like this I can't hear the audio from my headset but when I recurve a call I can hear the radio any way to listen why it's in dock mode all the time?

Instead of plugging the aux into the phone try just plugging it into the HS3000. That way all the audio gets streamed through that.
Hi there. On my previous Galaxy S I simply had a holder for my car (no electronics) and used the phone's hands free capability whenever I wanted to speak to someone. It was fairly quiet though especially when driving around.
Now that I have a Galaxy S3 with an unlimited data plan I've started using Google Music for my music (instead of my iPod) through the headphone socket into the car stereo. This works fantastically!! I'm also able to get navigation instructions through there too. But when I try to speak to somebody (and I can hear them through the car stereo which is what I wanted), they can barely hear me, unless I pull the headphone jack out of the phone. At which point obviously I go back to using the phone's too-quiet speakerphone.
Is there anyway to have the phone's audio out through the headphone socket and have the mic work? Or maybe get an external mic somehow?
I've also recently bought an Infuse car dock as it's been reported that the S3 fits this perfectly. This provides usb charging and audio out through the dock, however it seems that it's for music/nav only... calls can't be routed through.
Any ways around this? How do you guys do your hands free in the car?
Thanks!
bumpity bump.
i have kind of the same issue....i got teh infuse dock and i have bluetooth handsfree in the car...seems i cant get the audio through the dock while connected to the bluetooth...and if i have it only on the dock sound the mic because it sits when the phone connects to the dock it muffles the sound pickup from us....be great if there was some way to have it all calls through bluetooth and music through the dock!!!
but dont know if thats possible...
also i downloaded "dock sound redirector" which puts calls&Music through the dock DarrenCarnall. if that helps you at all.

I have similar problem.
Phone audio connected to hands free car system and media audio connected to the car radio using a2dp to aux converter.
When i use (stream) the media audio output (internet radio or navigation instructions) the hands free connection drops.
This means, hands free disconnection occurs when streaming music or voice trough the audio media output.
Before i had the HTC one x and there was no problem.
Thanks in advance for your help.

When I listen to music on my phone the right earbud or right speakers in my car have a significantly lower volume and only the beat will play(no lyrics). I've troubleshot the buds and car speakers and determined that the phone is the problem. It happens with the music player and pandora. Any Ideas? Thanks

Still under warranty? Call VZW and get it replaced...
Are you running a custom rom? Which one are you running?
Although this does sound like a hardware issue it MAY be a software issue....
I get this sometimes if I have made a call earlier. Reboot your phone.
Get a replacement. Headphone jack is corrupt and barely pushing out stereo sound... It's like mono+
Could be headphone jack. I had one go bad on me. No sound period on headphones. No problem getting it replaced. I think they may ask you if tried Bluetooth, speaker, etc....
