Amazing Sony SBH52 Smart Bluetooth Handset - Galaxy Note 3 Accessories

Just received the Sony SBH52 Smart Bluetooth handset and it's perfect for the Note 3
Not only can you use it as a standard wireless headset for audio playback, the device itself has a phone speaker and mic to allow you to make and receive calls just like a mini mobile phone! This is great for being more discreet in public. I don't necessarily want dodgy people to know I am using an expensive phone in public. You can of course also use the earphones to make/receive calls.
You can also receive notifications on it from Twitter, Facebook, Gmail, SMS and Calendar. The text from these apps will scroll on the super clear screen. It will also read the text aloud if you wish. It also has an FM radio. The sound through the supplied earphones is also very impressive.
Finally you pair the device instantly with NFC, which is really convenient.
Working flawlessly on my Note 3 and callers say they can hear me perfectly when using it as a handset.
Cost me £60 off Amazon

Looks great hope it works out. Wonder if it will be available in USA. Post back in a few weeks and let us know if it works out.
I had the Sony HBH DS980
It was the finest quality I've ever seen lasted almost 3 years of daily wear and abuse.

I have also the sbh52 1 week now and I say it's great also worth only I wish to last a bit longer if you use a2dp to hear songs or anything, at least it charged extremely fast so it compensates that.
A 2nd problem is the inability to save radio stations, it saves only one and I try in Sony support site to make them to fix that. If you can reply in that thread, if many yell then they might fixed it, after all in their site they was saying that you can save your radio stations which was false advertisement.

I bought it 10 days ago from clove uk
Guys please connect to the thread in Sony support I posted earlier and say something to fix that it only saves 1 station, it's totally stupid really what they did
Don't laugh but without the earphones the sbh52 plays the sounds from its speaker witch is good really so I have this in a distance from my 6 month son and I play a list with baby songs and this is great

It was promoted as a Z Ultra accessory but it is also an accessory designed to work with any BT enabled device.
I have been using it for some time with the Note 3 and it works flawlessly. Very impressed with the sound, signal range, stability and usability. Worth every penny. I just don't like the fact it attracts fingerprints!

Bottom Line Telecommunications is taking US preorders for the SBH52 also. At $71.79 looks like its a little over $25 less than Negri. I've ordered some rather odd stuff from shopblt.com before. Despite their horrible looking website they have pretty good customer service. I put an order in for one, it says they're forecast to get 50 on Nov 1st and will ship after that. They're also saying it has US warranty support in the cryptic description.
As always, purchase with a credit card so you have charge-back protection against the merchant.

No Apt-x according to this review http://recombu.com/mobile/news/sony-sbh52-review_M19403.html
really was hoping it would, I guess nothing is perfect
If not this Sony then what headset?
Sent from my SM-N900T using Tapatalk

I really like the look of this, but have one question. Can I fully control my music on this? I mean navigate through albums, artists, etc to find new songs / albums to listen to?
Would be grateful if anyone knows the answer.
Thanks.

I think it's only serial, it shows the songs one by one no matter in which folder they are but I'm not really certain

Bluetooth Headphones

Hi there.
I am currently looking for some bluetooth headphones (not a single headset) to use with my HD. Anybody have any advice and/or experience?
Thanks!
(I'm in the UK, so ideally from UK shops!)
I did find these. No idea what they are like though:
http://www.play.com/Electronics/Ele...21G-Stereo-Bluetooth-Headphones/Product.html#
Anybody...?
Hi,
I have been using HBH-DS980 with polaris and now with HD. Sound quality is better comapred to polaris (comparison without tweaking bt settings). Adressbook and call history works also you can see the number/name of the caller.
Music quality is quite good. AVRC is working as expected. The volume keys do not change system volume for music but I noticed that when in call, if you adjust volume from this device, phone volume is also updated.
Hope this helps.
try....
the stereo headphone, handsfree - motorola S9 - was 29 quid - i ordered then before 11am, had them by 11am next day....

Heres one review I found, though not user
http://www.reghardware.co.uk/2008/11/07/review_bluetooth_headphones_sony_ericsson_hbh_is800/
I bought some HBH-IS800 bluetooth earphones.
I haven't used them extensively yet, but one thing's for sure - they are just as dinky and slick as you expect them to be
Sound seems okay - not as good as the wired in-ear Sony ones (MR71 I think) I have been using, but easily good enough for commuting, gym etc.
Can't comment on battery life yet, but paitring is easy, and they are comfortable in the ear, despite being slightly larger than the wired type.
All in all, you could prolly get much better phones for the money (I paid £78 from mobilefun.co.uk), but for convenience, discretion and sheer smugness they're worth it in my book.
Cheers
Pete
my headsets
I use
Motorola H700 as headset and
Motorola S9 as headphone
both work fine with my HD. But I can't compare them as I only own this two parts. But I use them for almost one year and I'm very satisfied.
Best regards Wolf_munich
The HBH-IS800 surely look great. Exactly what I've been waiting for. BUT 4 hours of use is just too short...
I use this one, the sound is good
Motorola S805
Hi there
i have used two different stereo headsets with my athena- both generally crap.
Both of mine were the caller id type with controls.
1. sony HBH-DS970 crap sound- decent BT connection- voice quality (ie volume) ok after reg hack- caller id unable to display name, shows numbers only- track id cant show name- audio not loud enough, never found hack for this- ****e in ear buds- special sony charger- in ear padding falls off and gets lost for ever
2 decided I wanted to be able to use my B&O earphones so I got a ax bluestream from tritton- your own headphones plug in to the clip on BT unit- audio quality good but still too quiet- controls not intuitive- OLED- BT interference in calls is high when walking away from the phone- buggy software- no caller name or song name, just phone number. Better than the sony unit- mini usb charging
Overall my biggest problem was the lack of volume- managed to reg hack the outgoing and incoming phone audio but not the music level.
Overall i prefered the tritton option as i could use my own headphones with the buit in mic- cost more than the sony though
Battery life on the sony required me to carry the charger everwhere- especially given that the atena doesn't support calls without a headset
Hi,
Just the topic I was looking for.
I have finally come down to 3 choices:
1. Sony HBH DS200
2. Motorola S9 - Stylish. Not sure on quality
3. Sony DR-BT21G - Looks stylish as well. But crosses 40 bucks. But can purchase if there is significant difference
someone, pls compare these if possible keeping in mind the price and quality...
I was looking to purchase one for 30 quids
someone pls help me decide..
I am looking for a bluetooth headset which will allow me to listen to music on my Touch HD in the car (podcasts) but also allow me to take calls if need be without swapping headsets.
I have looked at the 3 above and none seem to do that.
Any suggestions?
Thanks
The S9s should, I suppose it depends what profiles your car setup supports.
I use my S9s to listen to music vids on my laptop and I can take/make calls via my HD using the buttons on the headset.
Set the partnership on the HD to "hands free" and laptop services to "audio sink".
Be aware that the telephony audio is from one channel only. The left ear.
edit: Sorry, I misread your post.
However, the S9s will allow you to do what you ask. When listening to audio an incommimg call will pause the audio and switch to hands free telephony.
Here is the .pdf manual.

THX SO MUCH!
i use jabra 620s, i used it with my ipaq 210 , however, i sold 210 to get some money for my HD. and jabra 620s is only about 50 usd, but i compared with my UE fi 4, UE fi 4 actully is not that much better than my jabra 620s with HD~ so, 50 usd jabra 620s is a not bad choice goes with HD. the vol adjust, forward, and back, answer button, start/pouse button all work with HD~

Bluetooth to AUX ?

Anyone have any good solutions? I am trying to find some, but coming up with older outdated results.
I basically want a bluetooth receiver that I can plug into my AUX input of my car. This being used for music, GPS and calls. I would also like something that can keep power through the car lighter if possible.

Just wanted to warn people there are two versions of this. The BTAXS and BTAXM. On Ebay you'll see both and the M is cheaper, but that one only does bluetooth calling no a2dp stereo. So you want to buy the BTAXS.

Their English is pretty bad but from the part of the description I can make out it sounds like a A2DP receiver, so it should work.
Just so you know, amazon has this a bit cheaper. I think amazon can be trusted more than ebay imho.
Can't post a link but just search for "B0036ORN2U" on amazon and you'll find it.
Ok so the blackberry gateway can transfer music from the phone to the car but can't do calls ,, so my question is what if my car has Bluetooth already and syncs to my phone when I get in for calls , can I use the gateway for music and still use Bluetooth for calls ?

can confirm the SCOSCHE BTAXS motorMOUTH II Stereo Bluetooth Hands-Free Car Kits is great for music streaming had it for a yr now used with both evo and evo 3d and works great.... for handsfree calling isn't that great but i haven't taken the time to relocate the mic closer so cant give u the most accurate review there
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16875998623
Quick update, I received my Scosche motorMOUTH II Stereo from the ebay I linked. I received it the day after I placed the order. It works great, sounds great. People can tell I'm on speakerphone but they understand me fine. The only con is that you can't charge it while using it. it usually prevents you, but I was able to get it to charge while running, the problem is that you will get the weird feedback sound from the car lighter through aux cable.... Not sure how to explain it.

That's a ground loop. Google ground loop isolator or ground loop filter.
The one I have looks exactly like the PAC SNI-1/3.5 or the PGLI35 (just google those terms) and it works very well - don't pay over $15, I think I paid less than $10 three years ago. It looks like the Kensington Noise Reducing Car Audio AUX Cable has it built-in if you need something longer.
I got this one for $32 at tmobile store with the 50% off coupon. Its a headset that comes with an adaptor to plug a 3.5mm audio jack and a stereo headset.

Yes. Under each bluetooth device you pair to on your phone you can select whether it's used for music, calls, or both; and you can pair with two devices simultaneously. I do this successfully all the time with my Kensington Liquid Aux (for music in the car, does calls too but the mic is crappy) and a cheap BT headset from LG.
It's a shame that Kensington unit is hard to find now, the remote it comes is SUPER handy and it's something I haven't seen included with any other BT bridge. I attached the remote to my Civic's steering wheel and it literally looks stock.
Another good bridge for music only is the BluBridge mini-jack Rx, battery lasts a long time and you can power it with any USB car charger, really good range too. I got one last year and liked it so much I got a second during Christmas to give away as a gift. I use it at home or during small get-togethers so I can stream to any stereo or set of portable speakers.
Ive been using this one http://cgi.ebay.com/IOGEAR-Bluetooth-Wireless-Audio-Transport-Headset-NEW-/150443532234?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2307221fca
Not trying to be rude or anything but why use bluetooth?
Why not just plug your phone directly into the Aux?
I have one of these:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B001DDE4VY/ref=redir_mdp_mobile/175-8678155-4748113
And it works well. It's expensive....and it doesn't plug into your Audi port.....and the Mic isn't built in ....the Mic comes with it, you have to plug it in and clip it on to your shirt. The satechi device works real well though.

What Bluetooth are you using?

So.... I'm in the market for a new Bluetooth and wanted to get some REAL user feedback of what everyone is using and what are their pros and cons are of the Bluetooth you are using.
What I'm looking for is a Bluetooth that can take advantage of Androids voice commands thru the Bluetooth with out touching the phone (i.e. Call xxx, navigate to... Listen to.. Send text to...)
Also I have seen and been reading that some Bluetooth manufactures are releasing their own apps in the market. which enhance the Bluetooth experience with text to speech, and ability to respond to text thru the Bluetooth.
Also would like to know what sound quality is, how well music streams, voice and call quality(on both ends) and distance away from phone(how far you can go) and talk time.
There is one Bluetooth I have been looking into, and it is the motorola HX550 that sprint has.. It has moto speak app (which will read your text to you and you can respond to text thru the Bluetooth and has a range of 300 feet.
So please let me know what your pros and cons are...
Thank you for your input...

I have the Jawbone Icon and I'm very happy with it. I upgraded to it from the Jawbone 2, which I still have and it still works perfect as well. With the Icon you can listen to music and audio from movies/videos on your phone. All you have to do is sync it with Jawbone's website and update out to the latest software. The company, Aliph, constantly has software updates and apps on the Jawbone website so you can keep your headset up to date with the latest features. I've never had a Bluetooth headset before that had those kind if features, its really nice.

I don't use it a ton but I have some cheap LG model someone gave me as a gift, nothing remarkable about the earpiece itself... The car dock/speaker it comes with is pretty neat tho, it comes with a basic windshield cradle with two suction cups and it has photovoltaic cells on the outward facing side... So I drop the earpiece into that car speaker/solar charger and I never need to worry about charging it.
Kind of gimmicky since the batteries on these things last a while, but since I don't use it a lot and my car didn't have BT it's particularly convenient. I use a separate Kensington kit for BT music streaming in the car tho, the remote on that LiquidAux kit is something I haven't seen elsewhere.

I've been using the Motorola S10-HD headset for a few months now and like it a lot. The mics isn't as good as on a dedicated talk only headset like the jawbone (which I also own but always seem to misplace) but its durability and multi function use as a stereo headset when needed works perfect for my needs.
Far as the specifics you mention, I've been clear across my house and still had a great connection while listening to music. As far as function, it seems to do everything my jawbone does in terms of using the voice dialing and music player controls but I haven't figured out a way to send a text message via the headset, that would be handy.
Just ordered the jabra sport Bluetooth yesterday. Well update post when they arrive in a couple of days

I have the Motorola finiti, which I love. It actually goes in the ear instead of the ones that have the big speaker that goes against the ear canal. Those require you to use the over the ear thingy, whereas this one doesn't because it goes in the canal. If you wear glasses, as I do, or don't want to wear the "thingy" all the time, I'd look at something like the finiti.
When it comes to voice dial, It's hit or miss, more often than not it fails to make the correct call or even one at all. I get a lot of "no result try again" or "calling John on mobile" when I clearly said something completely different like call Galaxy 1.

My jabra sport its badass. Comfortable as hell and very loud
hey guy, don't be a noob.
"bluetooth" is just the radio technology being used so when you say which bluetooth we are using, it sounds really silly. What want to say is which bluetooth headset everyone is using.

Everybody that has read and responded to this thread knew exactly what was meant, as did you. Yes, it could have been worded differently, but there is no need for this post. Besides there's different Bluetooth devices, not just the headset, there's in car speaker, earpiece, headphones, even a car radio. So calling them all just plain Bluetooth is standard for most people and everyone understands it.
While we're correcting people your sentence should have been "What YOU want to say is: Which Bluetooth headset IS everyone using?"

BT Headsets for NOTE3- types, experiences, stability, etc

Hello all NOTE 3 users!
I would like to ask You about Your Bluetooth headsets experience with NOTE 3.
I started to use BT headsets more than 5 years ago (several types, Nokia, Motorola, SE, recently SonyEricsson MW600 and Sony MW1) and used it without any problems with Note1 and Note2, however with N9005 (stock rom XXUBMJ1) and currently Sony MW1 headset I am completely disappointed:
1. Headset disconnects by itself few times per week, does not want to restart the link by pressing "Answer" button until BT goes through ON/OFF
2. With BT headset connected - a few times per day - incoming calls, and outgoing calls starts without BT headset voice link active (even if BT headset is "connected"- in some cases during the call to start the voice link call bottom-right button on the note3 must be touched 3 times to in fact "activate" the headset voice link... => this should be ALLWAYS working!
3. SONY suggests Smart Connect (LiveWare) + Smart Wireless Headset Pro - problem exists with the software installed, I am testing it now without this software but with similar bad results so far...
Please post Your opinions and BT headsets types paired with NOTE3...

I'm using a LG HBS-700 with my N3, and have had no issues what-so-ever.
SONY MW1 does not perform well!
Hello, I am continuing tests - NOTE3 + SONY MW1 (most current firmware 0.1.E.1.6) with all software installed is not stable, but without Smart Connect (LiveWare) + Smart Wireless Headset Pro software....it is a Total Disappointment! SONY "Premium" headset stays connected with NOTE3, however almost each phone call - incoming or outgoing
does not activate the voice-over-BT audio (phone bottom-right software button on the call screen remains gray, so the phone speaker is active, even if You answer the phone call by pressing ANSWER button on the MW1 headset) - it seems that BT connection between NOTE3 and MW1 becomes "lazy" few minutes after the phone call end, and then does not start again until phone soft key is pressed, or phone call is dropped and another call attempt is made.
If any SONY development guys are reading- please test it.
I have used MW1 with Note2 - it was not very bad, however much less stable than MW600 which was truly PERFECT.
With NOTE3 this is much less stable with software, and without Smart Connect (LiveWare) + Smart Wireless Headset Pro it does not work at all.
I will write to SONY support soon
i tested my MW1 with Note3 at a Samsung retail shop and indeed I am very unhappy with the audio quality. the audii cracking a lot
Motorola Boom
Using this now after testing the Motorola Sliver II. The Boom is about half the price and the sound is the best I have heard in quite some time.
I use it all day for work and have had about 20 different models but for the price, the sound clarity and loudness make this a great choice.
The Sliver had issues where everyone talking to me said I sounded as if I was in a tunnel.
Try the Boom. You'll see!
I haven't had any problems with my Motorola HX550, in fact it has been a great BT headset for $40 dollars. No one has a problem with how I sound.
I have been using my Plantronics voyager legend with great results. For stereo music, I've had decent luck with the Plantronics backbeat 2. decent audio. I'm glad I checked this before getting and mw1 as I as about to pull the trigger on this to use with my klipsch headphones. Has anyone heard about the sbh52 from Sony yet or the mw600 with the GN3?
Heres the ones i use.. http://www.jaybirdgear.com/bluebuds-x-bluetooth-headphones/

No problems here with Sony hbh-52 and offcourse I have installed Sony software.

I'm using Jaybird Bluebuds X. They're perfect, very good sound quality, you can use them nearly 7 to 8 hours with one charging.

The best choice is to take the headphones with APT-x codec:
exemple Denon AH-W200

I use the Samsung HS3000 and get good results given the low price of this headset.

MW1 still does not work - no support from SONY
Hello, I tried to obtain answer regarding firmware upgrade through SONY Xperia care support forum - outcome is ZERO reaction from SONY so users - beware of MW1 - for those interested - link below.

I came back to MW600 and those headphones work with NOTE3 well.
Sony smart watch 2 seems to have some problems too - a lot of post regarding problems on the same support forum.
Plantronics Voyager Pro HD
Plantronics Voyager Pro HD:
Supposedly 6 Hours of talk time, I would say I've experienced less.
It knows when it's on your ear, but I don't quite know what this function really does because it still works even when off my ear.. sooo
Ear buds don't really suit me, it seems to mount alright on my ear but could seal on my ear better.
This really worked great for me at first on my Note 2.
I don't know if it's the headset because I didn't have issues with my LG G2 or Note 3 however, it seemed to pick up the mic very poorly. People weren't able to hear me well and I need to practically shout for them to hear me.
When I use my car's Bluetooth it doesn't seem to have any issues. It sorta cut in & out on my G2 though now that I remember.
Anyways anyone else happen to have the same headset?

Yep, best out there. Little expensive, but the sound is amazing, not to mention there lightweight, small size and long playtime. Grab some, you won't regret it!

My jaybird freedoms work good.
I use several bluetooth headset currently.
Jaybird Bluebuds X as my main bluetooth headset for music and vidoes and it's working flawlessly. Fantastic audio quality and loudness more than I can handle.
Jabra BT620s when I am home since it's more comfortable than bluebuds.
Jabra BT8040 most of the time and it is connected with my galaxy gear. This combo works really well. Clear call quality, good connection and perfect set up for me with my daily routine when I don't need to listen to music or watch videos.

Sony sbh50/52 BT

I am planning to buy one of these two models.
Are both of them fully compatible with latest fw versions of Note 3?
Caller id / email notifications work fine?
Any issues i should know before adding to cart?

Yeah why aren't you buying me a set?
All joking aside they should work just fine on your Note 3. Enjoy!
I had some issues with Sbh52 regarding dropped connections but they resolved after update. SBH52 is fine and all but I never used the speaker and didn't care about the screen either. It broke for no reason after just three months of use and I bought SBH 20, which goes for 23 pounds on ebay uk. I like it better since it's not dragging on my shirts and can be well hidden.
Think hard how much do you need the screen and the speaker and more importantly - is it worth 2-3 sbh 20's?
Iove my sbh50. I've had 2 in fact,thought I lost one and bought another. 1week later I found it left on with a full charge. Granted it was not connected to a phone and in stand by but even then I get about 10 hours with non stop streaming music and taking calls. Another plus is you can stay connected while charging. Which is great in the car. I also use it with an FM tuner that has 3.5mm plug and a head unit in another car with the 3.5mm aux, bookshelf speakers ect and it all works great. You can also pair 2 devices at a time and separate music and calls. In my car with a Bluetooth head untit I have the note 3 stream music not calls for privacy, and the calls only go to the SbH50 to earbuds. Alternatively you can have your phone connected for calls and another device, say your tablet connected for media.

I like mine as well, gets good battery (8hrs- straight or mixed) Plus I like that you can use any headphones/earbuds.
I hate that rubber/silicone tip found on most earbuds these days (hate not being able to hear whats around me) But most hard tip earbuds dont come with media controls.
Had mine since January and still like it.
