I tried around a dozen solutions for wired or handsfree telephoning and/or listening to music. From Jabra, Jawbone, Sennheuiser to you name it. Nothing worked fine (bad audio quality, to much surrounding noise, flimsy cables (broke), not comfortable, fell out of ear).
Since a few weeks I have a Nokia BH-503. Over the ear design and an neckband. I finally found what I was looking for.
Very good telephoning capabilities, including noise-cancelation. People can't hear Í'm phoning from my car of from whithin a train. Good listening quality, the battery lasts around 13 hours. Comfort.
The headphone costs around 80-100 euro from a retailer.
And 33 bucks (25 euro) inclusing shipping&handling at

Guess where I ordered it?

Whilst i agree that these were very good, i found the "snare" noise (often found in punk and metal music) to be...scratchy.
That's why, more than a year ago, i bought the Sony Ericsson HBH-ds980.
I have NEVER bought a piece of electronic equipment that has served me SO well, SO impressively and without fail, EVER!
http://www.sonyericsson.com/cws/products/accessories/overview/hbh-ds980?cc=il&lc=en
1) the battery lasts FOREVER (as long as u dont max the volume ofc)
2) the audio quality (esp bass!) is ASTOUNDING
3) the text doesnt work for songs (on the LCD) because that's limited to Sony Ericsson cell phones...but for calling, u can browse ur phonebook/call log without taking ur phone outta ur pocket!!!
and it costs the same as the Nokia above...
hope this mini review helps

Dell BH200
Great Headset for Music, don't know how's the mic is on these because never used it...but audio quality is top notch...
bluetooth with a2dp, there is no such thing as best. they all suck relatively speaking. I have 7 different pairs of BT headsets. Many of what is mentioned here, and pardon the term, but they all sound like crap. An ipod nano with a set of iGrados is leaps and bounds ahead of whatever sound you get through a2dp on the D2.
If you don't mind looking like an idiot, sony brtb50s are decent. If you want compact, I really like my cheapy ARWH1 receiver paired with some er6is. Same headset plugged directly into a nano playing the exact same track is completely different though. Pick up a ARWH1 and pair it with the headphones of your choosing and you'll be happy. I paid $20 from buy.com on a special for the box and some crap headphones, but the box itself works good for what it is.
I'm thinking about getting the Sony Ericsson DS980 for my Diamond2 also~ but does anyone one know if Sony Ericsson DS205 or Sony Ericsson MW600 is any good? and are both of them compatible with Diamond2?
So which one you guys recommed (sound quality and not losing connection)?

good choice on the DS980! the DS205 has a few little things that bug me:
1) battery life was poor (could just be the unit i was using was faulty and/or old)
2) the screen is tiny! and it's not OLED...
3) the headphones that come with the unit are crap.
as for the MW600, it's great in theory. i've never used it, but it's equal to and/or better in many things than the DS980.
pairing should work on all of them though.
thx~ maybe ill try out the MW600 since i prefer a clipon , hope everythings goes good =)
Two years ago I go a set of Jabra BT2640s for dual use: #1 for my BlackJack I & #2 for PC gaming. For the money ($30-$40) they're an awesome value IMO. I I could improve anything on them I'd give the mic 16-bit audio capability so I don' sound like I'm on a phone when talking in Ventrilo.
I use a Jabra BT3030, and a set of JVC HA-FX34S Marshmallow headphones. These headphones are CHEAP...Amazon sells them for around $12USD. However, they have excellent noise reduction (around 20db), and pretty good range. Best of all, they stay put in my ears, even with a motorcycle helmet going on and off.
I've also used these headphones with the HTC audio/power adapter, but those break down pretty quickly.
Jabra BT 3030 together with an iGrado!!!
Best u can get...

Hey all, I'm looking for a decent pair of BT headphones. After doing some research it seems the old Moto S9s and s9-HDs are still the way to go for the cash they can be had? Can anyone enlighten me a little further on a decent pair or your own person experiences?
i bought the S10-HD and they where great, the sound was amazing for the price, but the battery life will always be the issue. if you wont use them for more than 6-8 hours get the S-10HD. make sure even if you get the S9 that its the HD option.. very important.
last thing of note, they are a little uncomfortable for some people, pull them apart to stretch them out

I have had the S-9 and S-10s, the s-9s are superior. Go for them, no doubt.
I'm still rockin' my Jabra BT 620S pair from like 2007-2008, works fine and battery life is not an issue. Quality is pretty good, but no noise cancellation and wish it was a bit louder. I'll upgrade when these die
I love these HP headphones: http://www.frys.com/product/5656521
When I bought them they were the only full sized over the ear headphones. They also have decent noise cancelling. I need some BASS and the smaller ones are no better then earbuds. If you look around you can probably find them cheaper then $70, I think mine were like $55.
Motorolla Rokr. Awesome sound excellent controls and battery life...plus they are frikin waterproof.

Motorola S9-HD is the best that I have found. You have to turn off SRS to get decent sound. I had Jaybird JF3 also. They had too much high frequency distortion. Cymbals sounded weird for example. The S9 has good battery life. ~$50 on Amazon. Poor outdoor reception, great indoors though.

Thank you everyone. I have thanked you all.
I ended up buying some new wired Sennheiser/Adidas CX680i earbuds yesterday to get great sound quality plus mic and button for making calls. They are impressive. I also used headset button controller app to reassign multiple clicks of the one working button to track skip, volume, etc.
Unfortunately most wired sets are designed to have the skip buttons work for only ipod. The Sennheiser therefore has one of three buttons that work, but the app is a good workaround.
I was happy to find out that DSP Manager app works without root on android 2.3. I setup the bluetooth and headset profiles to use bass boost and custom equalizer.

I'm very interested in purchasing the MW600's, and was wondering if you can confirm that they work for controlling Google Music and/or BeyondPod. I assume from your post that's there is no problem with controlling phone calls. I've previously run into problems where I've purchased headphones that are not compatible with a particular phone, and I'd love to avoid that this time around Unfortunately neither Sony Ericsson nor HTC would confirm compatibility for me. Any insight anyone can offer would be greatly appreciated! Thanks.
I've had the sony s9 and they were great, but awkward to fit in a pocket.
I just picked up the bluedio one from ebay for about $18 and it's wicked!!!
It's a tiny HSP/HFP mono earpiece with a magnetic connector to connect the second earbud (which seems to activate A2DP stereo bt profile. Things are TINY!!! but great audio quality and great battery life!
My ONLY complaint so far is that it's a non-standard barrel connector charger... wish it was micro usb.
Bluedio stereo... check it out on ebay!
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.

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
Speaking from experience owning the 730's
Sent from my SM-N900P
So, I'm currently using the Bose QuietComfort 20 with my beautiful Z3 and aside from the stellar audio quality, I'm thinking of getting something else. I don't like the rectangular block on it and find that I don't use the noise cancelling as much as I thought I would. Perhaps because I'm typically using them while on the streets of NYC, and fear that if I cancel outside noise, I'll quickly become road-kill.
This leads me to my question - what is the best headset out their that still takes advantage of the phone's built-in audio settings (yes, including the noise cancellation)? My guess is that you need to use a Sony headset to be able to use the NC built in to the phone, and while I won't be a big user of it, for those rare times, I'd like to have the option. For my own purposes, I prefer in-ear/ear-buds.
So, what say you? What is the way to go? Let's perhaps offer suggestions with price not a factor, and another suggestion that considers cost.
Looking forward to hearing your thoughts!
I use an MEElectronics M-Duo costs $50-60 but performs as good as many $100+, has very good reviews everywhere.
Its not very noise isolating, but its makes up for it in every other way. It can also take a lot of abuse. I prefer this to my $100 Bose IE2 earphones.

Thanks guys! I guess the question is, what functionality built into our Z3's do we lose when using non-Sony headsets and does it make it worth it to purchase one of the headsets listed within the device? The other question, is why are only those Sony headsets listed (see attached)? They make many other ones, some being highly rated!

HTC used to do the same during the Beats era, it justs sets an equalizer tuned to those Sony headsets, if I am correct.
When I want in-ears, I use Beyerdynamic MMX102IE. They work very well with the Z3 - great sound quality, bass and volume. If I'm going to listen to a podcast or something similar in a noisy environment, I'll use the MDR-NC31EM for the noise cancellation. The latter are good, especially for the price, but they are not as good as the Beyerdynamics for music.
I also use the Beyerdynamic Custom One Pros. They sound awesome, but sometimes I would like more volume from them. I do have a Fiio E6 that I can use them with if I really want to, but it would be nice to get some more power out of the phone. The sound quality is excellent.
Well, I purchased a pair of Degauss Noir's. Should arrive next week and am looking forward to letting y'all know all about them! :good:
Xiaomi Piston 2 works fine with the Z3 (unlike my old Nexus 4...). I can't get the FM radio to work properly though, anyone have any luck?

So, based on your comments, I wet out and bought a pair of the SoundTrue Samsung Galaxy version. The middle button only increases volume or if I triple-click, it will skip to next song (while boosting volume 3 clicks). :crying: Not sure why it words for you and not for me - are you using the D6616 version?

I used to have some old Skullcandy earbuds that I bought discounted in early 2012. Since then they have went out so I had to replace them and got ink'd 2 off Ebay. The pack I got did not come in the original packaging, so I'm not sure if they were fakes, but at any rate they were total junk and one earpiece was not working.
Do you have any recommended earbuds that work well and are priced around $20-25 max ? I use earbuds (corded), no muffs or cordless. Typically they get used pretty heavily at the gym so there's sweat, dropping, etc, etc...hence I don't want to spend too much on earbuds that will get roughed up.
I had some dual driver Xiaomi I bought, they are OK, but nothing too wild. The reviews were good so I was expecting something better, but they were not as good as my old Skullcandy ones.
Bluetooth earbuds are now in the $15-20 range. I personally got a taotronics pair from amazon that are no longer available apparently for $15. The sound is fine. The problem of course is that the battery is about 6 hours of sound and when you are done, you have to make sure you turn them off to save battery. But still, go for them. Not having a cord wrapped around your body is nice.

Android guys did a review on them but I think they understated them. If you use a music player with good EQ they rock. I like doubletwist for that.

For $25-$30 a set of AKG Y20U earbuds are hard to beat, hands down.
They tested really well against many other earbuds according to The Wirecutter.
