The one and only Motorola Elite Silver Bluetooth headset is the best amongst 12+ Bluetooth devices I have ever used.If you are willing to spend a handsome amount and want call quality,voice clarity and some voice recognition done perfectly,keep your fingers crossed and go for it!

ouch its beautiful but the price is a killer

Jabra BT2080. I have used it for a year and a half with no issues. I like that its charged through the micro-usb connector so i can charge it almost anywhere without the need for a special connector.
The only issue that i have sometimes is that sometimes the other person cant hear me very well if its windy. I believe you van pick oneup for around $20. Every now and then it will pop up for $12.

I have probably owned more than 20 different Bluetooth models over the years. But for more than a year I have only used the BlueAnt T1. Although I haven't tried the Motorola model referenced earlier in this thread, the BlueAnt is the best that I have ever tried.

One other thing to keep in mind: if you wear glasses, you'll probably hate any model that has anything going over your ear like the Motorola Elite Silver. At least I know that I do. Some models have a detachable over the ear piece that you don't have to use, but ones like the MES can't be removed.

Gentlemen, i apologize. I meant Jabra BT2080 and not 2070.

i have a jawbone era and also a blueant T1. they both work well. they both have apps in the play store that work with them. i like and recommend both. jawbone costs more, it was a gift. i bought the blueant for myself to replace my original jawbone i washed. i don't use the clips or hooks, just the earbud piece and the jawbone fits better than the blueant. hope this helps.

The Elite Silver for sure I am looking into but some user reviews complain about losing the pair between device and phone, has that been an issue for you at all

+1 on the Blue Ant T1, best noise canceling i have experienced. Plus, you can find them online for s little as $15 since they came out a couple of years ago.

It has been like 2 months and I never have faced such problems,I don't know why the other users face such problems,maybe a batch of those came bad out of production.
My BT is simultaneously paired with my Razr Maxx as well as Samsung C3350 without any problems or any sort of disconnecting issues at all.

I have BT A2DP dongle, Motorola S705 which I bought for RAZR V3xx; 4 years ago, and it working fine with RAZR XT-910
My RAZR also can paired with China made cheap car audio and Creative D80 cheap BT speaker system.

The best I've found for all the features you mentioned plus streaming music which is important to me is the Bose Bluetooth Headset Series 2. Costs a pretty penny but it's worth it.

Bose? Da fuq?

Blueant Q2 works great for me...have tried the Motorola Elite Sliver and didnt enjoy it much, noise reduction was a huge problem for me when it was windy, and as mentioned earlier, when wearing sunglasses it wasnt comfortable at all and didnt let my glasses sit right. With the Blueant I havent had any of these problems...I forget its on most of the time and it has excellent noise cancelling (I work in a Quarry around heavy equipment and unless I'm standing within a couple feet of running equipment I have never had a complaint of "I cant hear you").
Another that I had great results with that you can find very cheap as its an old model is the Motorola H17txt...only problem with that is my wife keeps breaking the flip mic...I never did, but I'm a bit anal about taking care of my electronics...

Jabra extreme 2 works great

Motorola Silver Elite Bluetooth?

Has anyone purchased this $129.00 Bluetooth Earpiece and how do you like it? I got the Motorola Stereo Bluetooth Headphones about a month ago and I'm quite pleased BUT............this earpiece has longer range, supports voice AND text, and automatically shuts off if not in use (Phone will automatically shut it back on if/when needed)
Let me know, my Christmas Present to myself!
anyone? Need some unbias input before I make this decision.
David, wouldn't you say this is a little too pricey, it depends on how bad you need it. (Don't forget to change your XDA Location, if you want to, lol.)
I haven't heard of anyone trying it...
I bought the elite flip which has the same features 300ft range, wide band, crystal talk, etc. I really like it, especially the 300ft range. I can leave my phone charging and walk around the house and even to the mailbox.

Yes pricey, but the features. Yes its a regular BT earpiece, but you can also talk voice commands, voice text and e-mail including address, listen to text and e-mails in phone, and listen to music. Not to mention, its BT 3.0 and has a 30yd range vs. 2.0 at 10yrds!
I have the Motorola Stereo Headphones, but they are illegal to where in vehicle. Not to mention, rude if you have passenger and are atempting to hold conversation.
Makes sense! Thanks again for the generous donation!!! It would be only fair if I whipped a few more images for you, for what you donated. I will see what I can whip up in my spare time. Thanks again!!!

The only thing your elite flip is missing is the streaming. Currently I'm carrying 2 headsets. Technically with Silver Elite, I could elimate 1. I wont because sometimes I want the Stereo Headphones, but depending on what I'm doing, I will no longer have a need to actually carry 2.
I can stream music since it has A2DP if that is what you mean.

You can not operate a vehicle with headphones on in the state of PA, NJ, or NY. I could check others but I got lazy. I did this because many of us wore iPods when on Motorcycle.
EDIT: and with the exception of me and 2 others, the entire Motorcycle Club were COPS or SWAT in NJ.
Motorola TZ700 Roadster
I opted for the BT speakerphone instead. The Roadster works with Motospeak and also has an FM transmitter which works very well. I enjoy sending and replying to text messages by voice. Motospeak even recognized 'supercalifragilisticexpialidocious' and that's how she spelled it in the text....I'm impressed! :>) I read the reviews and did some research on the Silver and it's the best BT earpiece for Motorola. I opted for the Roadster because I am not a big fan of earpieces but if I was...I would get the Silver.
@cyiam40, thanks, but I'm not looking for another device. (Not like the headphones and BT I have are not one.) I want one BT that does it all and this appears to be it.
I just purchased one at my local Sprint store and love it! It's 3.0 has the long distance that I was looking for, connects to 2 phones, etc. The only thing I dislike is the fact I can't have both my car windows down and talk on it like my LG Tone Bluetooth earphones! Other than that it's a well fitting and bad ass bluetooth out on the market. I really like the high definition audio also. Compared to the Jawbone Era, Plantronics Voyager Plus HD, Blueant T1, and LG Tone.....I think I like the Motorola Elite Silver the best. Comes with a case/charger combo for travel when you're away from an outlet! LOL!

i had the S10's.. paired pretty good.. they are not very comfortable tho and you can find them cheaper online elsewhere, around $45.
I had the original S-9's, and they paired well - sounded good too. Watch the knock-offs tho, they are NOT the same,and they won't pair well,or sound good either!

For sure, tons of knock offs on eBay. I got the S-9's but don't use them as much as I used too. They pair well and can be a decent distance from the phone and still pick up signal. If you have a large melon, they may be a bit tight and uncomfy though.

The difference between the knockoffs and the legit ones is the buttons. My S9 has super sensitive buttons, you can just lightly press it and it will stop, skip tracks etc. The knockoffs you have to physically press the buttons firmly. It worked but felt very uncomfortable mashing a button while something is in your ear. My coworker swooped up the knock offs for like $25 on ebay. Also mine came with a Blue Tooth adapter for an ipod, works excellent.
Is there a specific reason you want in ear headphones?
Id say pick up a set of over the ear bluetooth headsets. I had a set of motorola s805's they were good. also had a set of jaybird sb2's which were sick.
Im now rocking a set of the new Beats by dre bluetooth headphones.
If you are stuck on in ear headsets check out jaybird they have an entire bluetooth product line with great support and service.
But i really think you should try over the ear (Your hearing will thank me later)

Then i would definetly recommend Jaybird headphones as they are specifically engineered towards athletes and runners. They have a brand new set of freedom headphones which although I have yet to try look very well built and thought out.
Edit: Besides they have a sweat warranty thats pretty brilliant. Good service from these guys...
Sweat warranty...that's dope. lol
Sent from my PG86100 using xda premium
I have a pair of the S9 and S10 Motorola headphones. I bought the S10s as an 'upgrade' but that turned out to not be the case, unfortunately. They weren't as loud and the sound just didn't seem as 'full'. Really the only positive thing about them is that they NEVER cut out on me, and had much better range. My S9s are more comfortable, louder, sound better, but they did cut out at certain angles(probably because I mainly used them with my phone in my pocket instead of on an arm band as recommended).
I just got a pair of the JayBird Freedom headphones for Christmas and they are definitely the best way to go and worth the extra money. The sound and fit is probably as good as you can possibly get with bluetooth in-ear headphones, and of course they have the sweat-proof warranty. I would recommend getting the JayBird's over EVERYTHING else, especially if you're using them for running and working out, as I do. You won't regret it!

They stay in your ear better than anything else on the market, hands down. The hype is very well-deserved. They won't even budge while running... Plus they come with a pretty nice carry case.
Look at the LG hbs-700 on Www.newegg com. Great price and I love them. If you watch, you can catch them on sale. Read the reviews.

Good to see others who support Jaybird. Everyone always asks about my SB2's and with my endorphins most people don't even realize i have um in.
Do the jaybirds come with a standard charger or just a USB chord? Also if they do come with just a USB chord are we able to use the same adapter on our htc evo 3d chargers bc i dont have a computer any more just 3 galaxy 10.1 tabs

It's not the same cord but it is a usb to some small connection. You can plug it into any 5 volt source like pc or HTC's plug.
I have those headphones use it for soccer practice, gym, and work. I have had no problem with them at all the only thing not a major issue for me I had to take off the red pads on the inside since my sweat was un-gluing them. I jump and run with them with no problem in fact its the opposite from slipping out I have to take them off for a second because it pushes in me ears at times.
I got a pair of S9HD a year ago and they shorted out, I called Motorola and RMA'd them, a week later I had brand new S10HD in my hands. Like the S9HD these things are not the most comfortable things in the world and do not mesh well with sunglasses unless you flip them over and wear them R in left ear L in right. I have no problems with pairing and the battery life seems really good, better than the S9HD for sure.
Would I recommend to buy? no, there are other products on the market that work and fit just as well or better for much cheaper.

Bluetooth ear piece

Greetings,
I was wondering if anybody can give a suggestion(s) for a good blueTooth ear piece for the Galaxy Note. Until recently I have been using BlueAnt, but was wondering about other options.

BlueAnt Q2, Jawbone Era, or Motorola Elite Silver
You can't go wrong with any of those. In the strongest areas: the BlueAnt has a superior caller ID feature, I would say Jawbone wins for noise cancellation, and the Motorola is the most comfortable and packs the best battery life.
Also the BlueAnt and Jawbone are firmware upgradeable via USB, so if problems are ever discovered or new features suddenly are available they can be updated.
- Dan
I agree with the above ... I work for AT&T so I get to use a lot of bluetooths and those 3 are great, I'm using the moto now and to me it's just as good sound wise as the blue ant and jawbone but feels better and best battery life ever
Jawbone ERA here. I've had every Jawbone (except JB2), they get better and better. I wear mine 100% of the time I use the phone, and during the work
day 8-10 hours. I got tired several years ago of my ear hurting at the end of the
day. If you wear one that much, do yourself a BIG favor. I spent a lot of money
on trying this ear piece, that hook thingy, ear gels etc. Finally ponied up the money that I spent on trying to find a good fit, and bought a custom ear piece.
I wouldn't wear another BT without one now. You can get them just about anywhere, but I got mine from averysound.com
Jabra Supreme
I have a Jawbone Thinker it's pretty good but I was reading on Phone Arena the Jabra Supreme is tops read for your self all are good but they rate best out of best http://www.phonearena.com/reviews/B...-HD-vs-Jabra-Supreme-vs-Jabra-Extreme2_id2958
Thanks for the suggestions. I decided to go with the BlueAnt Q2, because I'm familiar with BlueAnt and appreciate the quality of their products.
Try The Bose. Is badass. You can play football with that ****, and will never fall out. Sweet comfortable; and sound quality for music and voice is superb. Go Bestbuy man. Try them all out. Find what you like, return it and buy it cheaper online

I've got the Jaybird bluebuds and they are great. I replaced the tips for some foamy ones and they fit great.
The sound is awesome and I've never had a problem with the battery.

They Jaybird Freedom Sprint has Apt-X. I use this one. It has very crappy battery life at 4.5 hours. But then again it is targeted only for working out and so is more than sufficient for a workout session hell even two days off Strictly workout sessions.
I know a LG representative that has the tones and all bias aside he loves them he's a boxer. When he trains he says they do not move even when he sweats. And they also have phenomenal battery life, but for me I would just use the J birds if I was strictly doing workouts.
If you are looking for something that is to replace your headphones and you want to go wireless all around, then I would recommend the Bluedio R+ bluetooth headphones. They are apt X bluetooth 4 NFC and has a slot for microSD card so if your phone is dead and use a micro SD card for your music you can just pop it in the headphones and be good to go! All of this for under $100. Its roughly under a hundred if you order from China or you can get them on Amazon and ebay for about $120 to $140.
I ordered mine from http://m.aliexpress.com/item/1174967490.html
Mine are on the way so I have not tested it personally but if you read all reviews about them everyone has something good to say about it. They are apparently the best in their class for the money if you like to listen to music with alot of bass.

One thing I forgot to mention about the J bird freedom sprint is that it is the second version the one right before the blue but X. The new ones are horrible in terms of sitting in your ears that is the number one thing you read about them. This sounds post to be excellent and so the battery life at about eight and a half hours but what is the point if they can't even fit in your ears comfortably while you're working out.
However the freedom Sprint version which is roughly 80 dollars, is the most comfortable earphones that I have tried. Even the call mic quality is good. They do not fall out if you use the honeycomb shape inserts, which taper off at the end in the same shape as that little groove in your ear right above the ear hole...and it just clicks right in

Not used any BT 4.0 headphones/receivers yet, but been very happy with the Samsung HS3000 for more than a year now. BT 3.0 but with Apt-X, love the versatility of being able to use different headphones with it - IEM for exercise/when portability is of paramount importance, full-sized cans when wanted, or even connecting to stereos etc via 3.5mm-3.5mm cable. Can be had really pretty cheap now too, around the $30USD mark.

The problem with the Jaybirds is that they care about sound quality, so the openings where the sound comes out are really large for a pair of ear buds. This in turn makes it hard to find comfortable tips that fit in your ears.
The tips that come with the buds are all too large to sit comfortably and they all feel like they are going to fall out (though they never actually have)
I recently went to target and found some foam tips in the bargain bin. I forced them over the tips of the bluebuds and it solved all the problems. They fit great and I never feel like it is going to fall out.

They can be pricey, but the battery lasts up to 8 hours, comes with a lifetime warranty, and they are really quality built.
Even the packaging is impressive. Sweat proof.
I'm telling you, I'd buy them again, and I'm a cheapskate.
you guys are right about the LG Tones+. They are awesome! I forget I'm even wearing them half the time because they're so lightweight. Also, they sound amazing, I don't need BT 4.0 for them to work great, they have AMAZING battery life (rated for 10, not 8 hours for music) and I used them all day at work 2 days in a row, while still having the battery on 'medium'. That was 2 10 hour shifts too.
I didn't think I'd like the design, because I thought it looked clunky, but like I said I barely can tell I'm wearing them. Maybe once my Fiance sees them she'll think otherwise on the styling, which is when I'll probably pick up the ankers, but for now, these work wonderfully and impressed me.
The only gripe I have (and this isn't specific to this headset, it pertains to all BT headsets) is I can only pair with two deices at once, unless I'm mistaken? I want to use this with my new MBP, my iPad and my Note III. My PS3 would be an added bonus, anyone know how to accomplish this or if I'm just being a newb and doing it wrong?
My Jaybird Bluebuds X work great as well. You can buy the tips from the site below.

FYI for those interested in the BackBeat Go 2 Tiger Direct has them for $69.99 (instant $10 off) and a $20 mail in rebate for a final price of $49.99.
I know mail-in rebates kinda suck. But it a good deal at $49.99

Those are the exact same tips I got. But for like 3 dollars at Target.

I was wondering how you gym rats/joggers carry your G3 during workouts. I was looking into armbands on Amazon but looking through the available brands.
It seems they're all made of poor quality and the companies have awful-mediocre feedback on other products.
Do any of you guys have something to recommend? I just want something where the device is safe, won't bother me as I lift/run, and won't let sweat get through to the phone.
Cheers.

I've had the Note 2 for about 2 years now. Not exactly the easiest phone to carry while jogging or during deadlifts at the gym. When I had my S3, i had an armband, but even that was a little too big. I would use the headphones that came with the Note 2 through the shirt like most people i see doing at the gym and it really wasn't working. So I bought bluetooth headphones.
After looking around and passing on some other headsets, I bought the LG TONES HBS-730
http://www.amazon.com/LG-Electronics-HBS-730-Bluetooth-Headset/dp/B009A5204K
I just set my phone down or keep it in my pocket while at the gym. It's just a lot easier to not have to worry about wires anymore. It's still a pain to have to carry it while jogging, but much easier than before. The headphones tend to bounce on my neck a bit, but don't come out of my ears at any point. I even use them on my motorcycle and they work great. I've answered calls from my gf while riding and she didn't even know i was using the Tones.
I highly recommend them.
I leave my phone in my gym bag and use a Sony mw-600 with different ear buds.
I'm not a fan of arm bands, and I don't expect the G3 to be particularly comfortable especially given its size. For lifting I much prefer using bluetooth headphones so the phone and any cables are out of the way.
Edit: By the way I recently got the Jabra Revo Wireless. Quoted at 12 hours of listening/talk time, which is amazing. And the nice thing is it includes a cable so if you run out of juice you can just plug it in and listen like a normal pair of headphones. Good for lifting, but I don't think they would stay put for running.
plantronics backbeat go 2 are awesome, And they will last you a whole 4 hours at 80% volume.

I ordered that one and it is arriving today. The company's other products seem to have solid reviews.
I considered BT headphones but I never see any with really solid reviews. I have UE TripleFi 10i that I ordered new rubber inserts for and am going to see how I like them with the band, generally I love the sound from them but my foam inserts get shot fast with running.

Nice, post a review when you get it and give it a try for a few sessions.
I'm looking into BT earbuds or headphones but just about everything have mixed reviews.

Will do, and thus my problem with them Jaybird is usually solid but people I know who own BT headphones, especially buds, say the sound quality loss isn't worth the price to get rid of a short cable

No argument there. So far I only use these for lifting. I had a set of Meelectronics Airfi AF71s (bluetooth earphones) that actually sounded really good, but they used non-standard ear tips (i.e. comply foam tips are a no-go) and they didn't fit very well so for runs I just stick with cabled earphones.

Never heard of those. I guess for just lifting cans would be okay, I still use my UE's.
One of my favorite tech reviewers.
12:20 he begins giving his review after using them in the gym.
They look nice imo, might order in a few weeks but I'd prefer earbuds for now. Can't really picture myself running with headphones on. I'd be worried that they may come off and fall lol

So my armband came in today and I wore it around town with my RAZR MAXX and might ear it to the gym tonight. It is definitely nice build quality IMO and for $7 I think it was a great buy.
I will test it more and report back
I'm using jaybirds bluebudz x and they're very very good. You can use comply with them.
Quality and volume are decent, battery life is good. I run and cycle in them.
