Anybody have any good suggestions for some bluetooth earbuds? I have both the Motorola SD 9's and 10's as a headset but never could really get good sound isolation from them. I've been using some wired earbuds lately and am noticing how much of a difference in tone that makes(especially on lower frequencies). Still hate these wires though. Headphones that go over your entire ear aren't my thing either.

Those look really good. Definitely need something like this that can be used for heavy physical activity as most often when I'm listening to music it's while doing intense activity. How would you rate the audio quality and sound isolation from the included ear inserts.

First impression on these. Ho-lee-sheet! You weren't kidding. I snagged a pair today. BLOWN AWAY! So comfortable(more so than a headset), sound is a-ma-zing(I can hear things I never could before). and the bluetooth range is very impressive. I get about the same range with these as I did with the S-9's and S-10's,,, and those are headset sized. I'm hoping they will hold up as these are mainly for working out.

I've had them for at least 10 months now, and they have been my daily driver headphones. They are perfect for working out, snowboarding, and since I work night-shifts at a factory here in Denver, they are pretty nice at noise cancelling.
I hope you enjoy as much as I did!
I know this is late but for anybody else that is looking try the Motorola S9, S10, S11 or any of the on the S line. I have had S10's for over two years and they work flawlessly

I'd like to make an amendment to this. the S9's had super weak bass, but the S9-HD's were REALLY good and brought the bass up to respectable levels. S10's to big headed fellas like myself were not comfortable at ALL. So, keep that in mind. I haven't tried the S11's
I'm currently using the Jaybird Freedom 3's and I really like that, very comfy, better treble than the S9's and the bass, with some EQ manipulation with Viper4Android, and very good too.
LG tone
Really like the lg hbs-730 tone+. I run in them and they have been great. Also had the S9s before that and liked them but have felt that the in ear aspect of the 730's has been a nice upgrade.
Do they stay in your ear?

One thing I loved about the s9 and s10 sets is that they never came out of my ear during a workout (except for when bench pressing, but that was to be expected). How has that experience been with the lg's?
I mostly just run with the LGs and almost exclusively outdoors. I have had zero problems with them falling out. The only thing I will note is that there is sometimes a noticeable wind noise over the buds when it is windy. I guess because of the shape of the exposed end. It isn't terrible though and doesn't ruin the experience.

The Sol Republic Shadow very good sound performance for the price. And it is very comfortable to wear both around the neck with nice design. The life batterry is long enough for using, about 8 hours. The best bluetooth earbuds that I've used.
Enjoy it

I would like a decent bluetooth stereo headset that I can listen to music with and make and recieve calls on with this device. I've already tried the Motorla S10's and jaybird freedoms.

Moto has a decent mic, but poor audio and bad signal range. However call's were serviceable.
The jaybirds have sensational audio clarity and quality (better on the iPhone though. Just sounds cleaner. dunno why?) and the bass is rich and crisp. Some of the best bud audio I've heard well...ever. Even rivals my klipsch S4i's *Only works on apple :-(*
Now for the bad. Calls are the worst I've ever expirenced! audio is muddy, the other end always complains I sound distant and traped in a far away restroom, audio cuts in and out and the volume in call is too low. Just horrid experience altogether that mares the device of its exceptional BT headphone feature.
And I would like ideally a headset with good range ~12-20ft from device. a decent battery cycle *8-12Hrs.* and has a good noise canceling mic and good audio quality for music and calls.
Does such a device exist? My budget is $80-150
Thanks in advanced.

I just think the sound quality and the mic suck for phone calls. :-/ which is disappointing. but the sound quality for music and such is nearly on par with my beats studios, although not as clear or loud. and they almost replicate the same timber/clarity of the klipsch S4i's they replaced. (best buds I've ever owned/used/seen) though there's a little distortion at higher volume levels. and I don't feel like they get as loud as I'd like.
i'm using my Sony Ericsson HBH-DS980 from 2007, great headset, no problems at all, even battery ok after 4 years of use.

Sony Ericsson Bluetooth devices are awesome. I have been using the hbh ds205 for years this is my second one my wife put the first one through the wash it still worked but the battery didn't hold a charge after that.
Anyways the great thing about it is you can use it for anything and use any headphones you want with it. I use my sennheiser ie7's.
It has all the controls...play pause volume up down skip track answer calls. Battery last like 8-10 hours of continuous playback.
I clip it on my shirt and work all day long with it. Clip it on my jacket and listen to tunes while I'm riding my motorcycle. Get in my car plug it in to the auxiliary cable, samething at home. Just got a portable speaker for cell phones so I can plug it into that and listen wirelessly. That's why its so great it makes everything wireless.
I don't think they make this model anymore but there is new versions. I'm gonna upgrade sometime because this little device is so awesome.

In terms of Voice Call Quality, the Plantronics 903+ are top notch. I also have the Jaybird Freedoms (best sound quality IMHO) as well as the Sony Ericsson MW600 which I like for the ability to plug in any Headphones I wish. I haven't heard many issues with the MW600 for the audio quality though.
I was told that the Jaybirds has a bit of a tinny sound when I talk on the phone though, bit of a downside (granted after my workout at the gym, I can't seem to find them, not too happy about that.) The Jaybirds battery life will not be the best in any way shape or form, you do pull off about 5 hours, which isn't bad, but nothing like the MW600 which get up to 11 hours.
The MW600 is not the best for working out in my opinion, no sealed ports and not water resistant/sweat resistant. The Plantronics 903+ isn't sweat resistant either contrary to what you read online, but it is durable. I have shorted out 6 pairs with the amount of sweat I have when working out. I even have shorted out a Motorola S9 which is supposed to be sweat resistant as well. Just my $0.02 take them as you wish.

I have had the same experience with the JayBirds as the OP. Good bluetooth speakers... horrible call quality. People couldn't understand me, complaining that I was muffled. I took them back after 2 days.
I am also looking for a good set of stereo bluetooth headphones, to use both in the car and the gym, and will be following this thread closely.

Anytime. I have been playing more with the MW600. In the end, there is no "perfect" bluetooth headphones for everything. When I'm at work I use my MW600, and when I am biking/working out I use my Jaybirds.
My MW600's came today and I was able to get a quick 20 mile ride in with them. So here is a quick review.
My first impression was wow is this thing small. With out headphones the unit is about 2.5 inches long and about .5 wide. The clip is not the greatest but seemed to hold on tight enough.
The headphones that came with it just looking at them I would say they are not the greatest design. The are not the "Standard" Y design with the plug on the bottom and the L & R ear buds at the top. Instead the plug and L ear bud are on the top and the R ear bud the bottom. This makes the L ear bud rather short. Tossed them right away.
Pairing could not have been easier. Pretty much standard Turn the unit on, Turn on BT on the phone tell it to look for devices and then pair it up. After pairing I turned the headset off for a hour and then turned it back on and it did pair right up again so no problems there.
The Unit
The controls will take a bit of getting use to. Pretty much anywhere you touch it you are going to be touching a control surface. Looking at the headset with the LED screen facing you and headphones on top the volume is on the left, ff, play/pause, and rw are on the left. On the top of the front face is the call button with a mic right above it and at the bottom above the Micro USB port is the power.
The volume will take a bit to get use to as well. it is not a physical button but a touch surface that is not all that sensitive (in the end I think this is a good thing.) you turn it up or down by running your finger over the surface in the direction that you want it to go. To go to full volume or min volume it takes a couple of swipes of your finger or you can press and hold at the top or bottom to up and down.
FF, Play/Pause, and RW seem to work fine and it is not a problem to use them.
I have not had a chance to place or get a call yet so can not speak to how well the call button works or the sound quality. I will post as soon as I get a chance to use the headset for a call.
Sound Quality.
I did not test the headphones that came with it so I can not speak to them. I used a pair of headphones that came with my Captivate (could not find my better Skulls at the time.) I would not say that the sound was out of this world but it was pretty good for using a pair of headphones that came with a phone. Did not get any distortion at the level that I had it, no popping not hissing. Would not say that the sound was deep and rich but it was good.
The Extra's
One of the nice things about this unit is that you can use use a high end set of headphones with out a mic because the unit has a mic built in. So if you have a really good set of headphone I would use them.
FM Radio worked good. was able to pull in the radio station that I listen to all the time and it came in very clear. To the FM radio you hold down the play/pause button until 2 little icons display on the LED then use the play/pause button again to select what you want. I did not try it but I do not think that you can listen to the radio and the use the headset for calls at the same time.
Over all I like the headset it has good sound and with a good set of headphones I think it will be even better. Pairing could not be any easier and once paired held the pairing very well. I did not get any interruptions when I went over bumps that I did get with other BT headsets. I do not think that working out with the headset will be a issue seeing that it is clipped to the outside of my shirt I would have to get a REALLY good sweat going to for it to affect the unit but seeing as it is 45 degrees here right now the proof will have to wait until I get in the gym.
At this point the only con I have is the controls. Like I said it is really hard to handle the unit with out touching one of the controls (Most often volume) but again I think that it is pretty much a matter of time before I "learn" how to handle it with out touching something.
On a scale of 1-10 I would give the headset a solid 8
If you can still find them, Homer HHS1220 I believe was the BEST bang for the buck a few years ago. Legitimate 12 hour battery and pretty comfy to wear.

I bought the Phiaton PS 20 BT stereo headset ($125 at Newegg) about a month ago. The sound quality is great, on both music and calls. Distance, to me, is impressive. Built-in battery charges via USB, and battery life has been good for me.
The microphone is the only thing that's a bit finicky. Some people tell me that it sounds like I'm on a wired headset. Others tell me it sounds like I'm in a tunnel. The problem boils down to what shirt I'm wearing! If I have button-down shirt or a breast pocket, then it's easy to dial the mic in for great sound. But if I'm wearing a t-shirt ... forget it.

What's your budget and what do you look for in a pair of them? Quality over sound or vice versa. What type of music genres? Etc... do you want more bass or more average or more vocals to pop out?
Sent from my SM-N900T using xda app-developers app
try something from Denon or Audio Technica!
I use the stock buds at work as they allow me to listen in on conversations of colleagues (meaning I can hear them when they try talking to me). If I want good sound away from home, I use a shure 215 se. There are pricier options, but for 100€ it's really great sound. At home I use a sennheiser MD 598 if I really want to have it like the musicians inteted their songs. But the sennheisers are open back and so sound gets out and my family is annoyed by that if they wantto watch TV. So I bought the Yamaha Pr 500. they are closed backs and almost don't leak sound, even if I use my Fiio alpen to crank it up. The Yamaha is a little tinted to the lower frequency side, but it sounds awesome to hear all the bass lines. And with EQ you van tweak the sound to your liking. But what I found is, that any over the ear headphones with big drivers really gives a much better sound stage. When using my big cans I almost always get back to live tracks over studio recordings, because it sounds as if you were standing in front of the stage. I recently had to thin out my music collection on SD card to make space for higher quality recordings. Now the minimum I use is 160 kbps and I have tracks up to 320. and the difference is amazing.
Sorry for this rather long post, but I hope you can get something out of it.
Check out Headfi

Agree. Headfi.org is great if you research audio stuff.
Another vote for head fi. Watch your wallet though. The headphone out on the Note 3 is very good. A high quality headphone is worth it. Personally I use a Vmoda m100 most of the time. It's a fantastic headphone if you like your bass. I also have a pair of Audiotechnica A900s which still sound amazing after 5 years since I purchased it. For ultimate portability I use Sennheiser IE8s which still blow me away with their bass and soundstage.
Good luck with your search. There are lots of good choices.

The output from the N3 is extremely good. If you're not feeling that then either you're using dodgy earphones or poor quality source material. Well recorded 24/96 audio through my Shure E3C earphones sounds pretty amazing.

And I am as happy as I can be with them. You can't beat it for under $100 IMO. I plan on investing in their ER-4s based on my experience with how impressed I am with the hf4. I never thought I would be paying as much for a set of headphones as I would a phone....

Firstly thanks for the replies everyone. I wasn't receiving post updates.
I listen to Led Zeppelin a lot. Rock music. Like to hear the bass too and mid range .
I think I'm more inclined to use in ear buds, so shall look through the thread and check recommended types.

Yes, definitely. These come with different size buds and stabilizers depending on your ear size. I don't even know I'm wearing these when working out for long periods of time. They have another version with volume controls and mic for $30 more.
Returned for a refund the Plantronics BackBeat Go 2 bluetooth headset because the buds were uncomfortable and popped out during movement.

You can use over the ear headphones with the N3 but I wouldn't recommend it. I tried my Sennheiser HD650s plugged into the N3 and they sounded okay but not great, problem is the N3 doesn't really have enough power to drive them. Through a headphone amp or external DAC they should be fine, I tried the N3->HLLY SMK-III DAC->Sennheiser HD650 and that sounded awesome.
I'm planning on buying a bluetooth. But not 100% sure which 1 I should get I'm mainly looking to use it when I'm biking. Any suggestions any other bluetooth names, models would be good too thanks.

I vote for the lg tone ultra's...I have them and love them but the 700's are fine too. The sound quality is outstanding on both with the ultra's edging out the 700's. I have both so I can speak from experience. I use the 700's for exercising and the ultra's for my daily commute. I bought some cheap 30 euro pair and that was a mistake. Tried the delycon's and those weren't great either. I haven't used any other bluetooth headphones besides those.

I'm seeing mixed reviews does the noise cancelling work really good?

The noise cancelling is good for like on the train/subway when I commute in the mornings and afternoons. Otherwise, the noise canceling is not true noise cancelling to me. I think the sound quality on the ultra's is better but if you have the 730's, i think they had already had upgraded the sound to jbl by that time. I had only the 700's since the 730's weren't available here in europe. I think the bass is richer and the high's better on the ultra's but I'm no audio expert.

No I haven't but I'll be sure to... LG had done a bang up job with the headphones.
Do the Ultra's work well for working out? I'm usually a very sweaty person, so I need a noise cancelling blue tooth that isn't too expensive, like these, and this is the only problem I have before I buy them.
Here's one vote for the sonys.
I dislike rubber and foam earbud tips (work outside, and I like to hear things around me) So being able to use any ear buds or headset with it is great.
Plus on those lgs if one of the earbuds somehow get snagged and break, your sol. Not so with the Sonys, just get another set of ear buds.
But that's just my take.

The ultra's are not cheap. I paid like 80 euros so that's about 100 dollars for these. If you're sweaty person, I might not go for these because the thing lays around your neck. I have no problems with it but I don't have sweat issues. I would think that the sweat may get on and around the neck band and that could short out the electronics. Someone else maybe able to talk on this issue.
The delycons and the cheap Aldi brand that I bought here were the kind that has a single cord connecting the earphones and basically went around the back of your head. I liked the design better of those but the sound quality sucked and they were not noise cancelling. I haven't been able to really find anything besides the plantronics backbeats but those have mixed reviews too. I might still consider them because of the design and the immense amount of money I've already spent on trying all these bluetooth headphones.
Not sure if this was said
I will say those LG Tones "magically" and randomly move around your neck lol. One side will hang further then the other. Read some reviews out there and you will see what I'm saying

As the name says which is the best Bluetooth Headphone/Headset (In The Ear Type) for NEXUS 6
purpose- Taking calls, listening music both casual and during workouts.
Considering the uncertainty in absence of aptX in NEXUS 6 it's hard to choose which does the job best.
These are some recommendations given to me
1. Motorola S11-Flex HD Wireless Stereo Bluetooth Headset
2. LG Electronics Tone Pro Bluetooth Stereo Headset
3. Jabra SPORT+ Wireless Bluetooth Stereo Headphones
4. Jaybird Freedom Sprint Bluetooth Headphones
please do share your suggestions, recommendations, reviews
Thank You.
I just picked up the jaybird bluebud x's. I love em.
I have been using the Jay Bird Blue Bud X for a year now and absolutely love them.
I also vote for the Jaybird bluebuds x. I've been using them for a year and they're phenomenal!

Bluebud X is the only great option white ones are on sale at Best Buy for $130 I think.
Another for jaybird X, excellent product.
ive got the powerbeats wireless and they have great sound and dont fall out of your ears
While not technically in the ear, I have Aftershockz Bluez which actually work really well. The bass is better than in most bud-type headphones, they are comfortable for me to wear for long periods of time, and they leave your ear open so you can still hear things going on around you such as traffic if you run or cycle. The are fantastic particularly if you plan on using your headphones for exercising. They also have a mic so they can be used for making calls.
Bluebud X for awesome sound... You may need to duct tape them to your ears.
Jaybird Bluebud X here. Best sound for the dollar in my opinion.

Yea see....this was my issue. I have the Tones and they..are..awesome.

Lg tone plus. I had the pro but the volume is lower than the plus. I have the ultra it doesnt work as adverstised
I hated the Moto S-11 HD Flex. Definitely not waterproof... Or sweat proof.
I have multiple
I have
LG Tone Pro
Bluetooth Sol Republic tracks
Jaybird freedom sprint
Tone pro are good for voice calls and daily wear and driving
Freedom sprint are good for running and at gym although after prolonged use they hurt my ears . these are not recommended for driving or for everyday use as they have poor ability to only have one in your ear at a time.
Sol Republic over the ear Bluetooth are not what you asked about but I love them.. So much better than the wireless beats I used to have and cheaper
As for tone pro vs tone plus. Tone pro has aptx and I don't think tone plus does

Jaybird Bluebuds X...just make sure you try the different tips and use the 'wings' to get a good secure fit.
My girlfriend has the bluebuds X and I have the tone pro's and we love them respectively. I do like that hers stay in your ears no matter what you are doing, but I love the features and google now integration of the tone pro's. 10+ hours of audio streaming is awesome on both.
Also, forgot to mention, the tone pro's are quieter than the tone+, but if you are using viper audio, you can definitely defeat that and raise the volume to almost ear shattering levels.
LG Tones either 700's or 730's. i LOVE them. I own both for a couple years on the 700s. They work really good with the N6. I get really good sound and I recently switched to memory foam earbuds and the sound is even better and now they never slide out at the gym. I use them 6-7 days a week for hours on end. best $40 spent on headphones! i gift them to friends and recommend them to everyone, so much I should profit from LG!

Hey Jeimygirl, would you mind linking to the foam gels that you're using? Thanks.

Cool, thanks. I have been looking at several different (comfort plus and isolation plus ) Comply versions and wasn't sure about them. Gonna order both now, thanks for the heads up.
Can anyone recommend a good set of noise canceling headphones? I use some regular Bose freestyle ESR buds currently. I want something to cancel out the obnoxious people I'm around at school all day. I go for engineering and I hate it when you have find a quiet place to work during the day. I was thinking shut getting the Bose QC 25 over ESR headphones because I've read good things about them, but I wanted to see what other people would recommend. I'm not a big audiophile as long as it sounds as good as my Chevy l current headphones I'll be happy. I was thinking about something like on ear headphones because they would probably work better?
Thanks in advance.
I have the Bose QC15 (over the ear) noise cancelling headphones and they ARE amazing (The QC25's have replaced them). They are a little bigger, but they do a great job of noise cancelling.
Now, if you want an IN EAR version .. don't rule out the Bose QC20i's. I have those as well and they are equally amazing but because they are "in ear" they are smaller and a little more discreet.
I personally love the Bose hardware, so it just comes down to size and what you are looking for. I use the QC20i more, but that is because they are more portable. YMMV
I just bought these: http://www.amazon.com/Harman-Kardon-NC-Cancelling-Headphones/dp/B00A4A3SNW
I don't have them yet, so I can't comment on how good they are, but I have always liked Harman sound.

If they had an in ear version with android controls I would probably get that over the regular headphones. I might wait and see if they update it by next year (15 days or so).... The QC25's are big but I feel like they might sound better because of the bigger driver. Then again I am used to my smaller Bose freestyle in ear ones so I may not notice.

I've had mine since just after they were released (10/13) and I opted for the iPhone version. Since the ONLY difference is that the Android/Windows versions are missing the control buttons, my though was this:
they are the same price and having the buttons will make no difference to Android; However, If I do connect them to my iPod, then I can use the control buttons.
My logic has served me as I use them on my nano at work quite a bit .. and I am able to use the control buttons and pressing the buttons when connected to Android .. does nothing.

Yeah only the middle button works on mine. I know it has to do with how they set up the resistors inside of the headphones. I'm still debating on which ones I want.
Do both the in ear and over ear cancel noise just as well for those who have both?

The active noise cancelling seems to be equally as good in-ear or over-ear. You will get a better passive noise reduction with the over-ear ones due to the fact that it covers the whole ear.

I need to test those out at a boss store. I really like my ear buds, and I used to have seen OE2's before I broke them so a change is nice.

We sell these at my work and they are very good sounding and great at noise cancelling.
bose QC 25
i have the QC25 and i love them. so comfortable! and the active noise canceling is amazing. I am also an engineering student and i can have it on even at the loudest part of the library and not bothered by the people around me. I wear them hours at a time and my ears doesn't get fatique like i would with the in ear headphones. definitely worth the investment over the Beats.

That's good news, I've always liked Bose headphones and their QC line is perfect fit what I need. In going to test then out before I buy them to see if I want the QC 25. Or QC 20's.
Try westones. The triple drivers.

I use my bose qc15 when im at home and i use monster inspiration when on train and busses. They are good if you like bass heavy music.
I just bought the QC 25's and they live up to the great reviews. I can't hear my TV when its extremely loud if Im playing music. This is the perfect way to say dont bother me

Good. I am using my hearing aids bluetooth paired to my phone. Excellent noise cancellation on those Phonaks. For 7K they darn well better be.
I wonder, though, if the wired sound from the Bose is better than the bluetooth. I would need a good equalizer as I have severe hearing loss on mid & higher frequencies.
Your thoughts?

What do you mean for 7k? The Bose QC 25's are 299$
Also I have mild hearing loss from being in the military. (I was am engineer so demolition was my thing) I think these sound great, and I have 2 other pairs of Bose headphones. I'm not partial to their brand, but after trying others I always come back to Bose. They are wired and I don't mind that at all. The cord is completely detachable and they have a great carrying case. I'm not by any means an audiophile so I can't tell you how the highs and lows sound comparatively speaking. The sound is very even and clean and much better than the POS beats that I have tried. I can post some pictures if you want.

The Phonak HA's were 7K. Just need to decide if the QC 25 wired sound would be that $300 better /more convenient than the bluetooth link to my hearing aids.

I would say give it a try the worst that could happen is that they don't work for you. BB has them locally soi would give or a try
If you're really interested in the QC-25's, remember that you can customize the colors of them too (for a price of course). Get them painted to match your style. I've seen the paint jobs in person, and it's top notch. Not to mention it's done by a Bose partner, so they have Bose's warranty as well.
