Hello everyone
I got my Wing couple weeks ago, but I just got to testing the headset/earbuds that came with it. Anyways, when I opened them, it looks like one string of an earbud is shorter then the other. So the middle piece with volume control on it is not centered in the middle, which is very uncomfortable. I didn't find any way to adjust it. Anyone else has the same problem, or am I on the only one with "faulty" earbuds? Please respond. I purchased online through Business Services on a current deal. If I take it to T-Mobile store, will they replace? Thanks a lot.
It really is a crappy design flaw but thats the way they come. With the weight of the volume control on one side of the headphones, that side tends to fall out of my ear. Really sorry design on they're part.
I'd say go with the bluetooth stereo headsets. The sound quality is better and you dont have to worry about the faulty wires being in the way. I invested in one the other day and come to find out other than listening to music, they also pick up calls. You can find good deals on ebay.

Thanks for the explanation. Can you tell me which ones you got? Just currious!
The ones I picked up are made by Motorola. Check the ones I bought on this link.

There's also a few diferent types to choose from. Just do a search for Bluetooth Stereo Headsets and you'll see.
You do realize most headphones are like this now, just grab a set of ipod headphones and you'll know what I mean.

That sucks! Whoever came up with this idea should be forced to wear these headphones for the rest of their life!

Can you just give us the model number? Or possibly a valid item# for the once you like? Link is not working (item removed). Thanks...
The model number is BCK-08. they have a bunch of 'em listed
Ummmm, it's not a defect!
Guys you do realize that there is a perfectly logical reason for this right??? Well, since you don't...LOL... Well, it's because the short side goes into one ear, and the other wraps around the back of you neck, so that they fit comfortably... The ear buds are labled, just follow the instructions above and everything should come together for you... They're not defective guys...
Yeah, thanks! Weird!
i agree... its done purpose fully.. not a defect
I still think it's a bad design because the side with the mic always gets knocked out of my ear or the mic gets caught on something, zipper, collar, button. I'm left-handed, so at least with symmetrical buds I don't have to be reminded that it's a right-handed world.
Be careful with bluetooth, the wing isn't really designed as a music player, even though it can do it. I got some bluetooth headphones made by insignia that work flawlessly with my partner's Samsung Upstage, but have this crackle with my Wing, only when playing music, and no, the sound files are fine, it's the wing's bluetooth connection that's messed up.
Have you tweaked the bluetooth stack (the bitrate and such) for better quality?
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.
I'm lookin for wireless headphones for my 3vo... Of the earbud variety... No bands or anything... Does such an animal exist? And, if so how much?

I love the jaybird bluetooth earbuds.
You can find them at bestbuy for $99
quality is great and they're warrantied for life against damage from sweat
(they're made for working out so they stay in place quite well)
I use them while running & lifting and I rarely have to readjust them or pop them back in. They stay nicely.

I own the same ones. They do NOT work with the EVO 3D (or at least with mine). It moves more than 6-8" away from the device and drops connection.
I'm going to Sprint to have them help troubleshoot, as HTC has been helpless on the issue apparently the only test they do before shipping the phones out is ensure that it pairs with devices, no other sorts of testing.
I love my Backbeat 903+ with my iPod Touch and NS4G when I had it... Not impressed with the EVO 3D.
I can recomend the Jabra Halo. Work well on my 3vo. Mine are a little busted but soundwise are good and clear.

It is not very expensive and sound quality is good for 40$ Bluetooth headphone. It is also top selling Bluetooth headphone on amazon. You can find it in best buy for almost same pries (Sacramento, CA), so you can buy it and if you don't like it, return it.(I bought it 8 mounts ago when I had my evo 4g, you may find better Bluetooth headphone right know. Technology grows fast ;D)
I have the Acoustic Research bluetooth receiver. It turns ANY speakers or headphones into bluetooth wireless. Works great on my earbuds and my home living room surround sound. I think I only paid between $20-30 for it, had it for about a year now with not one issue. Model number is ARWH1

they sounded awesome, fit well, but the range was horrible. About 8 foot line of sight, but once I clipped the phone to my belt or put it in my pocket, cut outs everywhere.
Sad, I had high hopes.

This describes EVERY bluetooth device I have ever tried. Over the years, I've tried Jawbones, Motorolas, other name brands and even a few no-name brands. I've probably spent a few hundred bucks in search of something that works, but as soon as the phone goes in my pocket, the quality and connection goes to ****. Maybe it's just me, but bluetooth in general seems like a spotty technology. I'm waiting for the next big thing, whatever that might be.
My phone headset works just fine in my pocket, on my belt, etc. I use it every day for hours and can walk around usually up to 25-30ft from my phone.
I have an older Jabra BT3030 dongle that does stereo and did the exact same tests I did with this headset and it worked just fine. Sadly the batteries are just about toast on it.
wow thats crazy.. i just purchased the jaybirds and they have some crazy range! i can easily without a doubt say the range is more than 10 ft.. i even tested it and walked in clear line of sigh across my living room and it worked just fine.
edit, i will say for voice calls, if your in the car, and driving fast, creating road noise, the other person wont really make out what your saying.

Put your phone in your pocket or a belt clip or something and jogging. It's not the line of sight range that's important for headphones that are labeled as sports.
What is a good earbud headset that doesn't cost a fortune, meaning less than $25 or so. Wired is what i'm looking for as i'm not big on BT headsets. I don't need anything ultra high quality, just something that works well. I'd also like for it to have a inline mic. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I've looked at so many my head spins. It's hard to tell what's good or not and you can't always go by price. Figured someone would have a set that they really liked over the others.
I just get the stock ones that came with my captivate, they sound good and are durable, don't hurt your ears.
Amazon has them for about six bucks. Just search for captivate or infuse earbuds they are black with opaque white buds and inline mic.

The OP said he needs them under $25. So for the price, Skullcandies are excellent.
They meet his needs. other than the JVC Marshmallows, they are the best sounding pair for the PRICE RANGE in my opinion.
On another note, I was interested in the S4As. I read a review
on amazon for them that the controls don't work with the Sprint galaxy S II and I was afraid that the same would be true for the AT&T variant. Do you own them? can you deny or comfirm?
I have the S4i's as I came from an iPhone to the galaxy. the mic and controls don't work with the phone (aside from the pause and play button.) wanted to get the 4A's but being that there's now a 5i and that I wanna try wireless I personally am looking for a stereo bluetooth option.

This is the quandry i've run into. There's literally hundreds of choices and some are known to be bad and some aren't. I'm just trying to find a good set for a good price that WORK, haha.
I had my old Cappy earbuds that I liked but alas my oldest son has lost them somewhere. They didn't work with everything on the cappy so i'm fairly sure they won't work on the GSII either.

How well do they fit in your ears? I've tried several Ipod flat style ear buds and none of them seem to fit in my ears very well. They will stay in but nothing like the cushiony inserts of the samsung ones.

I use these all day long at work. The control button works as expected with the players I've used (music app, Pandora, Beyondpod, Audible).
I use my phones for music more than anything. For the past couple years I've used a countless number of earbuds. (Gym, bike, motorcycle, work, bus)
Klipsch S4s are the best bang for the buck by far. I bought mine at Best Buy and opted for the 2 year warranty. Taking the phone in and out of my pocket a lot tends to wear the cord at the connector. Their worth the investment.

If you're going cheapo I'd try JVC HAFX67B. Decent sound and super comfortable. Even more comfortable than the S4s in my opinion.

You should go invest in an electric mower made by Black & Decker, its very quiet enough to cup cake with ya girl while mowing the lawn... I can mow the lawn at 2am and not wake a soul with the right lighting of course.
AND then go find a pair LG Tone+ and change the ear buds to the type your talking about... You will thank me for both.

Thanks, I'm actually looking at the LG Tone+, the only thing that concerns me is I see a lot of people complaining about choppy music playback.
As far as an electric mower I recently looked at those but it won't last long enough on a charge to mow my yard. It takes 3 to 3.5 hours on a rider plus1 hour with a push mower. Our yard is huge. Thank you for the suggestions.
Jaybird bluebuds 8hrs battery life.
LG Tone or Tone+ with foam tips. Or Sony SBH50 with any headset plug in that you prefer.

Thanks a lot, you've helped me make my decision. Are the foam tips included, if not where are you getting them?
Jabra ROX!!!!

I'm looking for some BT earbuds that I can wear while I'm mowing my yard but I'd like some that have the ear plug type material on the buds that you squeeze, then put in your ears and they expand a little, rather than just rubber so that they will block out the sound of the mower. Any suggestions?

LG Tone+...I have the 700's and they're great. I replaced the earbuds with comply's. I got the 400tx I think but I'd have to look. I replace all the earbuds with comply's. Those are the foam earbuds and I get the one's that keep the ear wax out of the holes.
@airmaxx23... Never had any choppy music playback, ever. As a matter of fact. I got everyone in the office wearing them. Dang headphones are the best. AND LOL at that yard size.... sounds more like a farm. I used to have a yard that took 2 hours with a rusty push mower. Hated doing the yard.

Thanks again, I picked some up and really like them a lot. I almost wish it was a farm, it would be a lot easier to mow, I'd have fewer trees and rocks to go around.

Just so you know... the people rolling around with choppy music probably have the fakes or knock-off versions. I seen someone with really bad replicas, told me they were the 760s... i lol'd.

I hear that you really lose some quality with those. I could be wrong, though, as I dont have any.

They actually sound really good, I'm glad I ended up buying them.

Glad you like your purchase. The actual ear buds are JBLs... the head set is LG. I thought they were gonna be weird for exercise and work and etc. Nope... comfy on the collar and easy on the ear. Best part is they use apt-x... so they sound great no need to use any third party equalizer.

informed by someone with a fake ver. maybe?
I'm using the Backbeat Go by Plantronics. They sound amazing and last forever on a charge. They use aptx as well.

Unfortunately most electronics that are popular are duplicated, often sold via ebay, websites, swapmeets, farmer markets, and out the back of people's trucks. I have learned this is not limited to electronics but also accessories, purses, wallets, clothes, and etc. My first Spigen case was a fake sview case I found at the swap meet for $20... if I would have known I was getting a fake I would have just went online and spent $5 online for it.
Once I bought a pair of Japanese brand headphones off ebay. They sounded absolutely heavenly for about a week. One day I put them on, the band snapped in half with ease. I was shocked. Since they had a 5 year warrenty... I RMA'd them... the JP company sent my email to the USA office which in turn messaged me. Told me they didn't have an EBAY seller that was legit. They sent me a brand new pair for free... with a return label for the fakes and details of who i bought them from. YEP. Turns out they had one of their parts companies in china making the rest of the headset and selling them on ebay at 20% the retail cost.
Long story short don't trust everyone selling "name brand" items. In the case of your friend... he could have auth LG Tone+ headphones with a bad board in them or bad speaker. Who knows. He could using a pair of fakes and doesn't know what bliss he is missing out on.

I looked at these as well but they claim up to only 4.5 hours of listening/talk time when the Tone+ is 15 hours talk or 10 hours listening.
