the z2 i get doesn't come with the MDR-NC31EM noise cancelling headphones. so i'm think why not get the newest bt headphone and give it a try?
the thing about sbh80 most attractive to me is the aptX and noise canceling.
but before pulling the trigger, it would be great if someone already have this pair gives your opinion... good/bad/ugly
Sorry to hijack your thread. I don't own sbh80. Just wanted to know what's the use of aptX?

At first, they sound terrible, after 15 hours of used, they sound much better, not too much bass, not very loud, it sound very natural.

What about the noise cancelation features? I want to buy them but I don't know if they support native noise cancelation like the bundled headphones

I don't think the sbh80 has noise cancellation, when I was on calls, it sound very good, the other end can hear me clearly, it sound like a regular Bluetooth headset.
The NC31EM earphone is a true NC earphone, music sound varies a little according to the surrounding, you will hear some hiss on and off if the music is on pause, I haven't had a call conversation with it yet, so I can't compare the two on voice calls.
The SBH80 is a nice headset, it is very convenient to use, it sits around your neck when you don't use it, the control button is a bit small, I use my left hand to press the buttons on the right side, then right hand for the left side, it sound much better than the SBH52, as good as the MWV1.

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.

http://www.bestbuy.com/site/JayBird...8316933151&skuId=2264036&st=jaybird&cp=1&lp=4
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.

I tried to watch a movie on the Prime the other day while on an airplane. I could not get the volume loud enough to hear the movie over the engine noise. What do y'all use to overcome this - noise cancelling headphones, headphone amplifier, or ?? I saw this amplifier on Amazon, would it do the job?
http://www.amazon.com/Fiio-E6-Headp...WWW8/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1332447629&sr=8-1
I had the same issue a couple of weeks ago. I could not hear on the plane even with my noise cancelling headphones. The volume simply was not loud enough to hear movies or play games. So I downloaded a volume booster off the market and it worked much better.
Were you using a pair of headphones? It can be hard for me to hear people talking at all when sitting that close to a running jet engine. I use a pair of etymotic ear buds (great noise isolation) when I want to watch a movie in a noisy environment.
I was using the ear buds that came with my Samsung android phone. They seal pretty well and have been fine for every other environment.
Just recently went flying with my prime for the first time. Using my Sennheiser over the ear headphones, which has excellent passive noise cancellation, max volume was just 'ok' for watching movies. Next time I fly I may try an app such as Volume+ to increase the volume further. For a reference, I normally have trouble listening to music/watching movies (while on a plane) with typical ear buds.
I had a similar issue when I flew with my Prime. There was just too much engine drone that it was difficult to hear the Prime. I has a couple of pairs of noise blocking earphones with me and my Apple in-ear earbuds (don't hit me) were the only ones that allowed me to hear my movies well.
I don't think this is a flaw with the Prime though.
I mean they wouldn't want to manufacture a device that output sound to known dangerous noise levels. Apple got into some trouble with that issue with their earlier model iPods which is why they now come with a built-in sound limiter.

I'm not sure this post is necessarily even Prime specific vs. listening to audio sources in general on an airplane, but the best for me is to use smaller earbud type active noise cancelling headphones (because I don't want to lug around massive Bose headphones while on a plane with a tiny carry-on). My Sennheiser CX300 earbuds, while they blocked some of the engine noise, were not good enough compared to the Audio Technica noise canceling ones I got.
Active noise canceling is ideal in environments where you have consistent ambient noise, like jet engine noise. It will actually analyze the background noise, and emit an inverse of the noise which cancels it out. It's not 100%, but based on my experience, it works better than any other headphones I've tried that are portable enough for airplane use.
Getting an amplifier is seriously going to annoy the passengers around you
Volume+ works great my friend. My speakers BLAST!

It is Prime specific in as much as I can hear fine with headphones plugged into my Samsung Epic phone and my buddy said he could hear his Motorola Xoom OK on his flight.
I will give volume+ a try, and failing that maybe try an amplifier.

I had a similar problem travelling. Tried new ear buds - still bad. A friend suggested a FiiO amplifier. It is rechargeable, volume, equaliser. Unfortunately I had not tried Volume + so I'm not sure if I was just buying an expensive (~$30) solution.

Is it the same one I linked to in the OP? Did it work?
Instead of noise cancellation, look into noise isolation earbuds like Etymotics ER6i's. Been using these on various devices for over 5 years now, with fantastic success. I commute daily via train, thus enduring similar noise issues, and I actually turn my volume DOWN.
volume+ is the way to go. check the thread out in themes and apps section. its a true volume booster/amplifier. not some gloried equalizer like most on the market. just make sure to follow the apps built in instructions and follow tips from the thread. it allows you to boost external speaker, headphones, and BT headphones or speakers. I've been using for a couple months now. now my prime is so loud, I have to be asked to then it down. louder than the t.v. lmfao. plus clarity is excellent. not all muffled and you can increase the bass also.
I should have read the other thread more carefully first. After buying the app in the market, I saw you can get the full app free off the developers website.

I use an amp on planes with my prime and a500. I mainly use it I use a splitter so me and my girl can hear it. But it also serves as a good volume booster.
But if you use one get ready to have cords everywhere. Lol

Although it's low
Hi, although the mic is amazing I have to say that the loudness is poor... it's not very sensible.
When you are in a loud environment, it's great but otherwise it seems that you have a pillow constantly covering the mic.
AND still doesn't have stereo...
does it have noise cancelling also?
i was taking calls on it while at a nightclub and other party could still hear me clearly and i could hear them.

Good day expert,
I love Sony Xperia Ultra Z. But I found out that Xperia Z Ultra can't perform a good phone function especially the speaker. The sound produced from the speaker is really low and unclear especially during phone call. This doesn't help even I have put it to loudspeaker. I have adjusted the volume control to max. I barely listen clearly the others party conversation. I feel shame.
I even tried the setting of (Normal, Bright, ..., slow talk) but it doesn't help. I confirmed it is not my Z Ultra defect as I checked others Z Ultra at retail store. All have the same poor and low sound output from the speaker.
How to really enjoy such a great phone if the sound produced is not loud and clear?
The sound really not acceptable (blur and poor volume output).
Seeking for help from SONY and experts.
Here is how I've ranked the audio (headphones) performance:
1)Nokia Phones (N9/Lumia)
2) HTC One X
3) iPhone 4s
4) Xperia Z Ultra
in regards to speaker output, i believe because of its placement vs. HTC OneX, for me its an improvement
I hope there are mods to increase the stock speaker volume as well as beats audio algorithms for music because its lacking right now!
only dumb people can talk about poor sound from external dynamic on water proof devices. Sorry but I'm sick and tired of threads like this.
Sound through headphones is beautiful and very audiophiliac with ClearAudio+ (enable)
Try to change your build prop at system and see what happen. You can search for xda forum to see how to change your build prop for increase device volume.
But first you need to rooted device.

I don't really know why so many people complain about it. It's pretty par for the course in terms of tiny "external" speakers. Fairly tinny, but loud enough to be too loud in a quiet room. Note that the volume drops by a large amount after submerging the device in water. You need to wait for the speaker grille to purge itself of liquid before the volume returns.

I agree with you 100%. I have no idea how anyone can complain about the audio quality.
The audio quality on my Ultra is great. The in-call volume is sufficient and the sound is perfectly good both on both sides.
I just don't care about the speakers too much since I use headphones. I wouldn't even think about the idea of using a phone as a "stereo" by playing music through its speakers.
The audio quality through headphones is great too. I certainly agree that it provides high quality even for "mobile audiophile use".

I do hope the Bluetooth Headset (is it SBH52?) can keep up with the Good quality Audio... I don't want to plug in my headphones directly on the phone since the earphone jack's placement is awkward if you ask me.. It would be better if it was placed on the top edge and not on the side.
I use wired headphones, bluetooth headphones and headsets and stream audio bluetooth in my car. I don't really need or actually think that a phone's speakers are all that important so I am glad to have efforts focused elsewhere. I'd get a Jawbone Jambox or something similiar if I really needed good audio from speakers on the go.
I have a friend who has an HTC One and I agree they are the best speakers I have heard on a smartphone but I still think they are pretty crappy. I appreciate the speakers on my Nexus 10 but again I think it is a waste of time ever expecting good speakers on a small and slim device.
Errrr....
OP is talking mainly about earpiece volume. Maybe his choice of words is not brilliant but my god, people here need to read before jumping on him thinking he is complaining about loudspeaker.

Well, I got that he was talking about the earpiece volume, but it also seemed he was saying that switching to the loud speaker didn't help either and I guess the thread evolved from there.
Anyway, a headset of some description should help in either case.
You're right though a couple of people did jump on him a bit harshly but it is pretty normal for people to get defensive about their devices.

Good day expert,
I love Sony Xperia Ultra Z. But I found out that Xperia Z Ultra can't perform a good phone function especially the speaker. The sound produced from the speaker is really low and unclear especially during phone call. This doesn't help even I have put it to loudspeaker. I have adjusted the volume control to max. I barely listen clearly the others party conversation. I feel shame.
I even tried the setting of (Normal, Bright, ..., slow talk) but it doesn't help. I confirmed it is not my Z Ultra defect as I checked others Z Ultra at retail store. All have the same poor and low sound output from the speaker.
How to really enjoy such a great phone if the sound produced is not loud and clear?
The sound really not acceptable (blur and poor volume output).
Seeking for help from SONY and experts.

I dont mind the sound, but make sure your ear is over the speaker on top. Its a big phone if you go to the right or left it will sound muffled. Maybe you are already doing this but if not try it. Night and day for me.
Nio doubt quality is great but speaker sound is not sufficient, atleast you guys agree on this despite the fact it is waterproof or what ever!!!!!!!

Only dumb people (or an average mature 6th grader) call other people dumb when they hear an opinion they don't like.
If the OP doesnt like the sound he doesn't like it. If you dont like a thread, here's a thought: stay the hell out of it.

Sound through headphones is beautiful and very audiophiliac with ClearAudio+ (enable)

Hey guys
Last week I had lost my xb90
So now I am looking around for a new headset i found these three
1- Sony MDR-NC31
2- Sony MDR-NC750
3- Sony Xba-a1ap
I had never try the Digital Noise Canceling headset so i am just confused about them..
Can anyone tell me that there is any difference in terms of sound quality between Sony NC31 and NC750..
Specially after updating to (MM 6.0) because Sony clams that NC750 will support Hi-Res audio..
Please reply
Thanks..

i've heard the nc31 doesn't have that good bass. which you probably love seeing you had xb90. it's why i bought another extra bass earphone instead of the noise cancelling ones. the reviews said NC works like magic but the bass is low

i'm using mdr-xb50ap. it's amazing. xtra bass but also a good amount of treble if and when needed. you can certainly get better ones with the budget of noise cancelling earphones. i wasn't sure about them so i settled for this and i'm quite happy. and sorry i took quite a while to respond.

I'll recommend MDR-XB70AP (INR 2500/-) ebay offer price.
@ present i'm using SONY XBA-A1AP (INR 6500/-) bought from ebay.
I got the SOUNDMAGIC E50 which are amazing looking and it`s an amazing feeling with that memory foam technology for a better feeling and more clearance and a better bass. a must have is the BASSULTIMATE v10 +beta33 SOUNDMOD for the Z2 MM! MUCH BETTER HEADPHONE EXPERIENCE WITHOUT ANY CRACKLING
I have used
SoundMagic ES18
Sennheiser cx180
and now Sony MDR-XB50AP.
I've used:
-Sennheiser Cx300-II Precision.
-Sony MDR NC31EM.
-Sennheiser MM30g.
-JBL T100A.
-HTC Black In-Ear.
-HTC Max 300.
-Sony MDR NC750.
-JBL T280A.
If you want good bass; I'd recommend Cx300-II;
if you want good mids; I'd recommend T280A;
if you want good upper tones; I'd recomment T280A;
However, if you want to listen your music the better, louder, richer, clearer way; then you need an HTC One M8 or another upper HTC device with the black In-Ear HTC earphones. Sony is really bad at audio quality.
As for the NC31EM and NC750M, the so called "noise cancelling" cancels the noice by making some "hiss" sound at a very low decibel so your ears think it doesn't hear anything from the outer world.
However, any of the JBL or Sennheiser in-ear phones have better noice cancelling than these headsets. Their microphones are on the ear sides, so the call quality is terrible.
As for the music, they don't give anything promising in their price-range, they're just "SONY" .
The mids are very loud, I mean VERY loud, compared to upper and lower tones, they just eat your ear on high volumes, even without modding volume levels.
So you'll be wasting your money if you buy one of these.

Wait, what? The Sony's are amazing at audio quality, I should know, I have an Xperia Z2. HTC's skewer the audio towards more bass, heck too much bass, they ruin the mids and highs completely. It was worse when they had the Beats Audio tech, but it was improved with the M9, I can only speak on audio of the M9 because that's what I had experience with.
I played 'With Love' album, some Above & Beyond, a couple of songs from Monstercat, and some Frank Ocean, and the HTC's boosted the bass way too much on all of them and squashed the Mids and Highs. The Xperia by comparison was more accurate, it did put less bass than the HTC, but didn't squash the highs and mids to get there. Granted, the HTC did sound louder and the Xperia was quieter in comparison, (used with Sol Republic Tracks V8, LG Tonepro HBS 760 and Samsung Level Active Bluetooth In-earphones. Heck, I even used a Logitech G230 Gaming Headset.) but in terms of how the songs project I'd prefer the Xperia because they sound more real and not artificial. Also, the Xperias have SIGNIFICANTLY more granular tweaking with the audio quality.
My friend swears by her NC31EM used with Xperia Z3 Compact, they do block out almost all noise (except when screaming directly next to her) and the sound is well balanced and there's a good kick of bass...
I'm using xiaomi hybrid, good sound quality per price but when I turn on fm radio all I hear is headset's microphone sound... ?

I liked Senheiser CX275s until I get the following from TIZUM. This one outperformed the all earphones i used. Excellent bass and clarity. I found it awesome and got for 799INR only
Guys try TIZUM All Metal Professional earphones
