I'm looking for some decent bluetooth headphones to pair with my dish hopper. I don't want to spend too much, maybe 20-$30. I just want them to watch tv and want them with decent battery life. Any suggestions or anyone own any?

I know those are too expensive for what you actually said but I got them 2 weeks ago and I'm simply blown away. They sound just like they would've cost at least double the price they are sold by Amazon They are chargable via Micro-USB. 1 Full charge lasts for about 1 week with approx. 2h of use daily.

I bought LG-Tone+ 700. I like them alot but they won't be 20 or 30 bucks US. I assume probably Close to 40 or 50. I got mine from Amazon but since I live in Europe, they cost me 55 euros. Best Investment because I've bought 100 Dollar wired headphones that aren't as good as these.
+1 on the LG tone, on sale you can get them for slightly under 40. Haven't had to buy new headphones for over a year now with these things because there aren't any wires to get messed up with prolonged use. Went through so many pairs of headphones where it broke near the 3mm jack. No more problems

I have owned the Lg hbs700 and the 730. Both are excellent bluetooth headphones for the price. I recently purchased a pair of Arctic p311's because I had a $30 giftcard to Tiger Direct and could not find anything else that I wanted from them. I have to say that I am absolutely blown away from the sound that these produce for under $30.
I have a pretty big head and although they don't look like they would be comfortable, they very much are! They also stay in place if you want to use them in the gym. The Lg models always slip off when laying down to do bench pressing.
Here is a link to them from Amazon if you want to check them out.
http://www.amazon.com/ARCTIC-Bluetooth-Headphones-Integrated-Microphone/dp/B005I7X3RC
I have a pair of Jaybird BlueBuds. They have very good fidelity, 8 hours of charge time and VERY light weight obviously. If you're looking for something minimal and not as bulky as over-the-ear units then take a look at these.
http://www.amazon.com/JayBird-BlueB...e=UTF8&qid=1390957322&sr=1-1&keywords=jaybird
I got these are they're pretty nice and not too expensive. They have Bluetooth 4.0 and have APT-X.
The earpieces look bulky but are surprisingly light.

bt headphones
I just need some BT headphones for light exercise, running, etc. Bought these tonight due to the good reviews. Its behind the head style Bluetooth headphones with built in microphone (although reviews say the mic is garbage, it's not why I want it, anyway).

Also, for $10 less (approximately $20, total) you can get one model lower. It has equally good reviews but is said to have a little less sound quality and has no built in microphone.

Sorry about the links. I am a new user (less than ten posts) and the forum won't let me post links. Just copy and paste the links.
Love how people don't read. Anyways, thanks to the ones who did and suggested headphone in my price range, will definitely be looking into some of these.

I bought a pair of these.
Charge by mini USB (not micro, unfortunately).
Cheap and cheerful, but work just fine.
Used mostly for spoken word podcasts and audiobooks as well as phone calls, so high quality for music wasn't necessary.

LG Tone+ HBS-730 is a very good BT headphone. Very lightweight and easy to wear. Like the Note 3 it supports apt-x for CD quality sound.

People are offering what they can. How about a thanks to everyone who DID suggest something. Next time, instead of the nasty response, maybe saying, "thanks" would be more in order. Perhaps NO response would have been better.

Thanks for your suggestion. And not trying to start ****, but I would rather get no response than someone suggesting $100 headphones. That is why I asked about cheaper headphones. I want to find some DECENT CHEAP ones. I don't mind some more expensive ones like the ones you and a few others suggested, but some of these responses were way more than I asked for in price range.

It was your response that led me to respond as I did. If you don't appreciate the help you get, don't ask for help at all. People are doing it because they are trying to be HELPFUL. Ignore what doesn't work for you by $20 or so (and, you get what you pay for), and instead look at the cheaper suggestions. Posting a snarky comment about people not reading your EXACT parameters and posting what they did is honestly, NOT going to engender people from helping next time.

Kinivio makes a great affordable headphone
I was notified of this set on slickdeals last week from Newegg.com for 20 bucks, they are fantastic, comfortable and have a great battery life. Right now they are 30 bucks. So I ordered one and lo and behold I open the package yesterday, guess what...Newegg accidentally sent me 2 lmao! Scooore! Seriously though they sound way better than my cheapo pair of insignia before, plus those had the mesh part of the earpiece breakoff and they were just uncomfortable as all hell to wear. These Kinivios have padding instead, very comfortable.

yeah that is a good price for this phone. it retails at $600 i believe. Will you be getting the beats head phones with it too?
Depends on the quality of the Rezound and if it is rooted or not. It seems fair. I would value a good condition Rezound around $300. If it has all the original components, box, manual and is in perfect condition I would say more around $350.

Some of the online sites are buying for $180, and that's without headphones. Selling the phone outright is $250 ish and up. If the headphones are included, they sell around me for $50 and up to $75 by themselves. Having a Rezound, I don't know what the big bruhah is about the phone. You can only hear the enhancements of the music if you use their music player. So you can't get the benefit of the music enhancements if you're listening to Slacker or any other streaming music.
All in all, the object is worth what you're willing to pay for it. To you, that might mean $285. For me, $150 is too much, even if it came with the Dallas Cowboys cheerleader squad. Then again, I got mine for free because of my Droid Charge issues, but I was hoping for a Nexus. Nice phone, but after having mine for a couple of weeks, I HATE THE INTERFACE. Though I didn't get headphones, I can hear the difference of the music quality while using my own ear buds and using their media player, but honestly, I don't see enough of a difference in any of the classical, rock, Swedish metal, or 80 music I listen to so as to say that is phone would have been a fantastic purchase. Who knows, maybe the Beats headphones really do make the difference.

but the cost of the headphones on VZW invoice says they were $25 and have a 1 year warranty. so people paying that much for them is insane.
Got mine for 298 with 3 extended batteries, battery charger and case
I'd also compare other phones of roughly the same caliber/release time, such as the Galaxy Nexus or the RAZR. If you like what you see and hear about these over the Rezound and can get them for a slight variance in the price, then you could pass. The Beats headphones are nice, but nothing noticeable over a nice $40 pair of Skullcandy headphones I had awhile back. I picked the Rezound because I like Sense, and it seemed like the evolution of my previous phone, the Incredible. For $250, I'd go for it.

hey guys, so you know the headphones that came with the galaxy player 4.0? well i actually thought they were nice. i called sony if i could jsut order that part, but they wern't that much help. does anyone know where i can get em?
Did you mean to say you called Samsung? I wouldn't imagine Sony would carry Samsung earbuds.
If you want some comparable earphones, Sony does make some darn good ones for under $20 (at least imo). I got a pair of their non-in-ear ones (in-ear earbuds don't stay in my ears, lol) on sale for $5 and they lasted me a whole year before they shorted out - and believe me, I am rough on earphones.

Search Amazon for: Nakamichi Earphones Brand New Volume Control Mic Stylish Precision Sound, Black
The price is $30 but I found them cheaper in a local store.
They work pretty well, and have:
A microphone
A volume slider
A flat cord that does not tangle as easily as a round cord
A button
My current OEM headphones are still working but I got these because I needed another pair.
Apparently these are quite good for the money
These are a little bit better than the ones that from with your device and are cheap I use these as my main earphones.

I'm really interested in getting one for this phone and I was just wondering what some of the best bluetooth headsets there are out there. If you could provide a link and some highlight features I would appreciate that so much!
Plantronics
1- Legend
2- Pro HD
3- Pro +
Search Amazon, best prices and service
I have the LG Tone+. I love it. The only issue is it breaks up easily outside. Sometimes inside too. I like the Voyager Pro+ too.
These all are looking good, anyone have either a Samsung, jabra or jawbone who'd like to chime in with their experiences?
If you want a top of the line headset choose any one of the three, I have owned others including jawbones and motorolas nothing compares. Dont throw away your money or your jawbones and others will spend eternity in a drawer somewhere like mine.
+1 for the Plantronics. I even bought the warranty, and when it broke I got a $100 gift card from them to buy a new one. I've gone through three over the past several years.
are there any sub $50 headsets that anyone would recommend?

bluetooth stereo headphones
My favorite is the Bluebuds X by Jaybird, they cost around $150-$170, a bit pricey, yet they have some superior features
like: very small total size, lightweight, "water resistant"(possibly the best water resistance in BT headphones), comfort, battery life,
and volume/mic on the wire that goes around back of your neck. Yes they sound very good. I had the Jaybird Freedom Spirit ($120ish),
but prefer the size, weight and battery of the Bluebuds.
I'd have to second the jaybirds. Love mine, never have any issues with them and they even work on CM 10.2 even though bluetooth audio streaming is broken
I personally use Jawbone (The Nerd), and I switched from all the Blueant headsets.
In another thread someone confirmed Note 3 has aptX support. Now I'm searching the internet for wireless bluetooth 4.0 earplugs (to listen to music when doing my running workouts outside), that support aptX. Anyone have suggestions?

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.

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

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.
