So many to choose from, so many of them crappy.
I've tried the Sony ericsson HBH-DS970 and Itech R-35, the sony had good sound but too many connection issues etc, the itech only worked -ok- and had a flimsy spring/generally low quality feeling and glitches.
These are ones that I think -might- work well, I've probably overlooked some: Nokia BH-500, SIEMENS HHB-750, SONY DR-BT10CX, Sony Ericcson HBH-DS200, Jabra BT320s, Plantronics 260.
I need good sound quality and it needs to...work.
Anyone?
Plantronics discovery 640e
Right now it is 59.99 after 20 mail in rebate at radioshack in US. Wife approved! I took back all the Moto ones I bought cuz the little misses hated the sound. I use the Kenwood BT1000 that is intergrated into my car stereo when driving. Love it!
Sorry! I just Re-read the post..... this is NOT stereo bt headset
The Motorola s705's work great with my 8525. You can use on earbuds also.
Mr
Looks interesting, a bit bulky but I read that it works reliably, and issues? How good is sound and speech quality?
I have exactly the same question... I was just about to order some Sony DS970 but will see what kind of responses arrive here. Grkn, exactly what connection problems did you have with the Sony?
I had it a long time ago, probably with the default rom and little BT tweaking, but I remember I didn't get it to work properly, maybe I couldn't answer calls, I DO remember there were periodic stuttering. It also didn't have a clip.
But the sound quality was great, and It's very cheap on ebay, I'm tempted to give it another try.

Be careful of the cheap ones on Ebay there were some very good looking fakes going around. Do a google search and you'll find the pictures... not easy to tell the difference at a cursory glance but sound is no way as good.
motorola makes the s9. best out right now. in ear, sleek, low profile, and great for working out and running with. sound quality is awsome, gets even better if you tweak your ad2p. = )

Sound is good but it's sensitive for range, just my arm in the way between it and Tytn causes sound drop outs.
Don't know if this is as sensitive on other models?
Plantronics 260
I really like my Plantronics 260's. Sound great, (especially with one of my roms ), and connect flawlessly. Someone else said his broke, but I don't stress mine physically and its been fine over a month now. I can't compare it to others though as they are the only ones I've had.
jUST GOT THE jABRA jx10 series2 and I'm quite happy with this one so far. Sound and range is good. Phone rings at the same time as I hear it's ringing in the headset. I hoped for a mini usb connector for charging but no such luck.
It comes with a short cable that goes from their special connector to large USB connector so I can use a power adapter I have where I can connect USB charge cable, so I can use this on my travels for charging both headset andmy tYTN.
oPS.. sorry missed the stereo part....
its all about how much you want to spend, the level of quality of music/sound you require, and the shape of your head and ears, and much of a goof you want to look like in public.
The Motorola Bluetooth™ Active Headphones S9 seem to be the most popular for now, and can be bought for less then 99 USD.
And they'll work with anything Advanced Audio Distribution Profile (A2DP) and Audio Video Remote Control Profile (AVRCP) compatible. (ipod bluetooth interface sold separately)
And they do have a built-in mic for incoming/out going calls.
These have inter-ear rubber buds ... that I hate its like having a rubber q-tip jammed down in your ear ... not fun... but some people swear by them. -- for this reason, I wouldn't buy them off ebay in case you wanted to return them without going insane.

Mr
For me they're out of the question due to their cyborg look
The S9's worked pretty good for me, except the speakers blew out 3 months in. Now i'm looking for a new set.
S9... the way to go.
Lost my previous and perfect headphones...boohoo
I recently lost my beautiful and never gone wrong bluetooth headset. I still feel gutted. I looked everywhere as I am not one to misplace anything or so I thought. I went through the garbage too!! thats how upsetting it was. I couldn't and still can't imagine for the life of me where the hell they are.
So..yesterday after carefully consideration and bank balance checking...cough cough splutter splutter (bit short of funds at the mo but just enough left to cover some headphones)...I popped along to our good old friendly eBay site...
Found some S9 Moto and won them. I was unsure whether to buy them or not as I have read so much negative reports on line as to how easy it is to be ripped off and stuck with a low quality copy pair.
I have checked best I could and am moderately confident that I have won a legitimate pair as the seller has 100 positive feedback. Postage costs are high but feedback relates mostly to excellent speed of items received along with next day delivery.
I do hope they work well with my hermes as I want to use them whilst on the bus, on the treadmill, walking about, at college, jogging etc.
Fingers Crossed guys.
Heres the link is anyone knows what to look for (checking legit items against dodgy etc)

I have a Sony Ericsson HBH-DS970, realy nice sound only the playtime sucks.
No BT skipping problems.
How long is the playtime?
I've received the Jabra 320s, works like a charm both listening to music and using it as a headset. Sound quality is adequate.
Maybe 3 hours playing time

I am also looking into this.
Surely the best way to go is to get a unit that allows you to plug in your own headphones. via a standard 3.5 jack connector.
2 reasons, the headphone part of these units will be the first thing to die, you can just replace them instead of the whole unit.... and you can use whatever type of phones you prefer (also connect to an amplifier....)
My issue is finding one that has a reliable connection and playtime.
I don't mind paying that bit extra if it works and does it for long enough!
Any users of the HTC S100 about?
http://www.expansys.com/htc/p_htc_item.aspx?i=140285
I have a feeling th only downside of this unit might be that if I stick in my Sony Fontopia earbuds then the hands free part won't have it.... no-one seems to know!
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.

lol yea my bad, they both start with an s. but yea i called them, they give me a part number and told me i might be able to find it on their parts + accessories website, but had no luck.
I'd check on amazon.
To be honest you should go buy some Sony Earbuds lol, but here you go http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Origi...8-1&keywords=samsung+galaxy+player+headphones they are the same earbuds.
Personally I have gotten these, [Cannot post link, less than 10 posts... stupid rule getting in the way of honest posters]
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.
http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-EHS64...=1367894765&sr=1-1&keywords=Samsung+earphones
Just in case anyone wants to know, I personally use skullcandy titans. I know these are $50 online, but I live in the USA and marshals has them for half the price.

I'm planning on picking up the Z2 pretty soon to replace my dead iPhone, but I had a question about what comes in the box.
I've watched a couple unboxings and both pulled different things out, a guy from the UK had noise cancelling headphones but no magnetic cradle while an American had both the noise cancelling headphones and a magnetic charger. Did Sony **** up or do the included goodies vary by country? Is there a way to tell what you'll get in the box? Like a country list or something.
Thanks!

Does anybody have Sony MDR-EX31BN noice cancellation headset?
I am planning to buy one and looking for review.
It seems pretty good for the cost. Don't own it though.

I own one and it is very good for the price IMO. just 3500 INR /50-53 USD
Hey,
I got it too and I'm really satisfied with it.
I use it all the time I'm flying - I'd say it is not one of the loudest I have, but the noise cancelation works really great.
I paid about 35€ on Amazon Germany, which equals to about ~40$.
I would buy it definitely again.
But you need to know that it does not wirj with other devices (when I plug it into my Toshiba tablet, it does not only not work with the noise cancelation, it does not work in general).
Regards,
Maeffjus
EDIT: My fault, I have this one - http://www.amazon.com/Sony-Digital-Cancelling-Headset-MDR-NC31EM/dp/B00HX9AJ5M, which is the NC31EM - this one does not need and additional battery.
Just saw a retail version of the G5(T-mobile version) unboxing vid,and unfortunately there were no earphones in the box.Why would LG do that?could other versions include it?
Btw,if anybody wondering if the charger is a quick charger,yes it is.
Bit of a waste of money including them imo, most people don't use them.

I do. In fact I prefer it when they ship good headphones. I got the Sony Noise Cancelling headphones with my Z2 and loved them, made the purchase of the phone a little extract special. I'd agreed if every manufacturer just chucked some cheap ear buds in but most do provide something that will make the phone sound great when listening to music so you know your money is well spent

Because this is a phone that is projected to sell for no more than $300 in 3-4 months from now, and still bring some kind of profit.
I'd elect for the the extra battery and cam over wired headphones(with early purchase) any day
I just picked up my G5 from my local Sprint retailer. The phone does not come with headphones from Sprint either it just has the wall charger and the USB-C adapter. There is a promotion currently going on through LG's website (I would post a link but I can't due to not having enough posts yet) where you are able to get a second battery and cradle by showing your proof of purchase.
