Alright so I had a pair of motorola s9s for about 3 weeks before sweating on them at the gym broke them.
Does anyone know of any decent bluetooth headphones that are reliable (battery doesn'd die after a month etc. etc.) that work well with the G1?
I have the first generation Motorola bluetooth stereo headphones, the HT820. I originally purchased them back in 2007 to use with my t-mobile MDA (HTC Wizard), and they worked well then and they continue to work now. They are much bigger than anything Motorola has out now, but they do work. I currently have Cyanogen's ROM on my G1 and they did work with the original cupcake ROM from T-Mobile. These headphones also have a built in mic so you can take phone calls.
Hope this helps.
I recently purchased the Samsung SBH500 headphones. I have only had them for a few weeks so I cannot tell you long term reliability but I have really enjoyed using them. I have taken them on a run a few times and have had no trouble yet. I have read a few reviews of people complaining that they are unconfortable and ears get hot when working out with them. I have not experienced either. I have found these more comfortable than other around-the-neck sets. The ear padding is a little thick but it sort of muffles the ambient noise. I have found the audio quality for music and calls both outstanding. I would recommend these if you were looking for over the ear headphones.
You should try contacting Motorola about your s9s. When researching BT headphones, I seem to remember reading that Motorola knows that this is an issue. Perhaps they will swap these out for you. Good Luck!
S9-HD
I thought the S9's are supposed to be sweat resistant. I have a S9-HD and they seem to be holding up fine. I've been using them on runs and bike rides for a couple months now. I do admit though that not much sweat gets to them cuz most of my sweat evaporates as I run. When I stop moving, I start pouring sweat, which is when the headphones get hit the hardest. They're still working great.
I haven't tried the jaybird bluetooth headphones. They're supposedly water and sweat resistant. They sound like they're the bomb. I'm tempted to get a set. Here's a link for more info:

Hey guys thanks for all the replies!
I actually just ordered a pair of samsung sbh170's (if i remember correctly) they didn't have to many complaints besides being to small.
If they don't work i will definetly be checking out the sbh500's they look really nice, and i might get a pair for non gym use too. ( I never knew internet radio at work could be so addictive.)
I checked out the jaybirds before i bought the samsungs that should be coming in a couple days. They had mixed reviews on amazon, just like the s9's, and cost around $100-$120 so i think i'm gonna keep my distance from those, I'm a college student lol.
As for the s9's I didn't have the HD's, I had the older versions, which were apparently less sweat resistant than the new ones. I took them appart and it looks like the main circuit board got covered in sweat (there is discoloration).
I had initially thought it was the battery, but that would be hard to replace. The battery in them is a no name most likely chinese peice of crap, if anyone else is having a problem with the battery you may be able to retrofit a rechargable AAA batery in ( i played around with a voltmeter and the old battery appeared to be 1.5V's) but that would take a little bit of time and patients, I only paid 30 bucks for them, and used them pretty consistently for a month (pretty much every day at the gym too.)
If I had paid $100 at best buy then I would be more upset. I really liked the form factor on them and they were really nice to use at the gym, which is what upset me most about them breaking, its hard going back to wired headphones lol
I've broken two sets, 1 LG and the other I think was a Jabra set. They had both broken around the earpiece in almost the same place because of the plastic they used. While I didnt have any other issues with them, they only lasted about 3 or 4 weeks each.
I went with the s9's for the firm form also... I just made sure to wipe my head and the headset every so often and completely take them off when im cooling down. I will be implementing some fancy vinyl aka electrical tape on them soon to help from getting sepage into the control panels.
The sbh170's look good cause they are more flexible but the 500's look to be almost the same design of the two sets that I had. If I can find the LG set i'll snap a pic and show you what I mean.
i got the sony dr-bt101 headphones about a month ago and they work great. the only thing is they're a little big and over the ear not behind the neck..

oooh those look nice!
I use the HT850's mentioned earlier in this thread. they're a little big and (as someone else commented somewhere on xda) make me look princess leiah-ish but the sound good and work well w/ the G1.
For anyone wanting a cheap set I recommend the Insignia NS-BTHDP.
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?type=product&id=1185267960408
I got these almost a year ago and take them to the gym and snowboarding regularly so they have been dropped, smashed and covered in snow a lot. I picked mine up off of ebay with $10 winning bid (shipped). They aren't fancy but have survived well for being so cheap.
These are on their way to me. I'll let you all know what I think of them.

You guys would use those headphones while working out? Do they stay in place while jogging? Are they sweat resistant? Just from the looks of them, they are too bulky for me (at least while working out).

My s9's died yesterday... I mean DIED, they wont chrage no matter what
As much as I hate to go back to wired devices I really like the options the ones you picked up give. Small and simple with good support (body wide clip).
So please post when you can
I Have a question for you guys. I want a headset that I can listen to music with while wearing it on only one ear, so not headphones but a headset that has the A2DP and AVRCP. IF you guys know about one let me know because that way I can listen to music at work and look like im actually working hard.
http://www.jaybirdgear.com/bluetooth-stereo-headphones-features.php I have these but the audio goes in and out on my G1 and even worst on my laptop.
Get the Plantronics 855. The second earpiece is removable, and without it looks just like the HFP-only 815 but still plays at A2DP quality.

OK so they showed up today. I have them charging at work and will give them a go when I run tonight. I'll post results either tonight or tomorrow morning.
update: Well I can't get them to pair. They paired up fine with my nokia N95, but android is having trouble. If I could get it to let me enter the passcode 0000 manually, I am sure it would work. Any ideas?
update2: OK so I got them paired, finally, but they dont seem to be working. I got them connected but theres no sound coming through them. They do work well with my n95 however so that's even more frustrating. Sound quality is OK, but I am going to try and return them. Any questions before I do?
i sweat a whole lot and have yet to find any wireless that can stand up to the abuse. i bought the adapter from HTC that includes a mic and 3.5 adapter. 10 bucks from t mobile.
while it still has wires it hasnt fallen victim to the sweat. FML in Alabama during the summer.
ive seen mixed reviews what do you guys think?
I bought one on ebay, possible fake, not quite sure. The item had amazing clarity in sound quality, however it kept breaking up over and over and didn't work in my pocket while walking.
Since then I've ordered the Jabra BT3030 and couldn't be happier with the item. It works flawlessly no matter where my Android is.
Mine should arrive in a day or two. I can then give comments on quality.
I really hope mine will work better than BamaNZ's.
thanks for replies i just hot a pair of s9-hds from a seller who sold 89 woth 100 percent positive feedback for about 40 bucks(he he look at me trying to be all american) i hope its not fake
bought a pair of real non-HD's and I would figure if you're not using them for any activity they are GREAT!!! sound good, fairly comfortable, easy to use... but as soon as you sweat in them... say GOODBYE!!! It goes downhill here from there.
I have the s-9 also and man they suck . Now I'm really not sure if its cause of the bluetooth
But when I walk with these things it skipps like a cd player. What I have to do is place the phone in my back pack so it doesn't bounce. Then and only the will I get good flow of audio.
Then they sound great. Call quality isn't that great either. I get a lot of static.

awww man but i figure ill cut out the skipping by putting my phone in my inside pocket which is closer to the headset
I have had the S9's for a while and I used them on the SE p990i, MDA, Laptop, and the G1. I must say as far as sound quality goes the s9's are really good, and thats about it. It works best with my laptop, if you plan on moving around (walking, running) etc then not recommended. On all the mobile devices it breaks up a lot especially when there are other cellular devices around you. I'm looking to replace mine with something that has the sound quality of the s9 or better and one that doesn't break up as much.
i received my s9-hds today and they sound awesome the only problems are they are uncomfortable at first and im not sure if i look like an idiot with them
The HDs blow the regular s9s out of the water. I bought a pair and they sounded much better. They are uncomfortable at first, but you get used to them.

youre right, i took them to the gym today and after a while i forgot they were there
Thanks! I glad y'all brought this subject up. I was about to replace my HT820 Moto headphones with the s9. I think I need some with a better range. Kinda scares me if you can't even get good reception with the cell in your pocket, lol. I guess I go with the Jabra then. My old moto 820 had great range and sound quality but are like 4 years old and are falling apart.
i find mine work fine if i pair them outdoors but if i was in your situation i wouldnt risk it either
I had mine for two years now ,, best bt/headphones ever ,, what I did with mine was, I took the cushions off of a cheap pair of headphones I had and placed them over the small buds of the s9 , now my s9 sounds like a bose system ...

thanks thats a great idea im going to try it with the ones that came with my g1
I picked up a set from newegg a year or two ago and like them alot
i work outside all day so sweat did kill the mic
but as use for a headset it works fine
I also had issues that seemed like the phone was a bit far away, but i think thats because of the sidekick i was using
I now use a Zune 120 and earbuds and use the S9s for my PC, I should try them on the G1 soon
the jabra BT303 looks nice, if i would have known about it before the S9 i would have went that way so i can use my own earbuds
however if you dont plan on sweating and like the big cushy style i just saw the motorola S805 on newegg for $25
you cant beat that, in fact for the price i may pick up a set
for the PC

I have the Motorola HT820 (I think thats the one). It was their original bluetooth headset. A little big and maybe even a bit ugly but the sound quality is great, although a bit low for my taste, but no skips and great for exercise since they go over and around the ears. They tend to bother after an hour of wearing them or so.
Plus you get over 10 hours of use per charge!
only problem I have is that you can't control the music (I.E. pause, play, next/previous track) with the hero rom or most of the developed roms, or atleast I haven't gotten it to work. Only with the stock rom will the functions work. Still, volume up and down works...

Checked out the general section and there are a ton of headphone threads, but I'm looking for something a little different than most of the guys are talking about there. Recommendations on those threads tend to come down to either larger headsets, or in the ear noice-cancelling buds.
What I'm looking for is basically something like the OEM iphone ones for the iphone that will work with the SGS2. I'd prefer an over the ear set, but can deal with simple earbuds as long as they aren't the noise canceling types; can't stand trying to talk on the phone with my ears clogged up! I actually made a pair a few years ago that were just what I wanted; took an extra iphone headset, disassembled the earbuds, and transplanted the mic/cord combo over to a nice set of over the ear headphones that I had. Had to break out the micro tip for my soldering iron, but they looked and worked great. Something like that is what I'm looking for.
So my requirements are:
Non-noise cancelling headset (on top of not wanting to sound muffled to myself when on the phone, I want to use these for walking/biking, and don't want to completely isolate all sound.
Inline mic with call answer switch.
Basic music controls if at all possible.
Decent quality at a minimum. I don't have to have top of the line headphones, but want something better than a $10 pair that you can buy at Wal Mart.
Ordered some inexpensive ones on Amazon that stated that they are OEM HTC Evo 4G phones; got them today, the controls won't work at all and one of the earpieces kept cutting out when I moved the cord at the plug. Beware of them. Found these on Amazon http://www.amazon.com/Jabra-Active-Corded-Earset-Retail-Packaging-Black/dp/B0049SKIDI/ref=sr_1_143?ie=UTF8&qid=1328652715&sr=8-143. They seem to be just about what I'm looking for, and one reviewer states that they tried them out on several Androids and found them to work. Before I ordered them, I thought I'd get some opinions here if anyone is familiar with something along the lines of what I'm looking for.
Im not sure what exactly your price range caps out on, but for 130 bucks, you can get a pair of Bose MIE2i Headphones. They have an inline mice and music controls, certified for ipod/iphone control, but they work fine on my galaxy s 2. They've Lasted way longer than my beats. Got em november 2011, and they still work fine to this day.They have a good stay in ear design, and they dont look half bad.

A bit more than what I was looking at spending, since I really won't use them all that much, but they look promising. "Got em in november 2011, and they still work fine to this day".... hell, I would hope that they would last more than 3 months, LOL. Thanks for the heads up, though. Gonna consider them.
I know Skullcandy hesh have a decent mic with very basic controls but they're bulky. I have their GI and 50/50 right now. I like the GI but they're $80 and too bulky for a headset. Great headphones though.

Hahaha i say that because im terrible with headphones. Every skull candy headset ive owned lasted about 4 weeks on average. My beats solo? 2 weeks before the in line mic gave in, and a few days later one side died on me.

These are available in AT&T stores now, though its cheaper to get them on eBay right now due to not having to pay tax. They seem to be sold out online, but they are in stock in every AT&T store in my area for 149.00. They are awesome, by the way. Great sound and great design. I had the 730's and these are so much better in every way, especially when running/working out.
Also have these and the prior top model. The new ones sound worse due to lack of bass and overall fullness. Also no noise cancellation. Bummer. They've also bigger and harder to fit under my work dress shirt. Only thing good is the retractable cables.
Picked mine up today and not impressed. I like the design, it lays flatter than my 730's did and doesn't twist around my neck when I do any leaning over. The retractable wires are great I'm impressed with the overall design and functionality. What I'm not impressed with is the sound quality. My 730's are way louder and have more bass. Even with the built in equalizer on the infinum they are not better sounding. Trying to decide if I'm going to return them. At $160 after tax I'm not too too pleased.
Have you tried using another player to boost the bass?
I installed viper it helped a little with the bass. I haven't used power amp in a while might have to bring it back..
Edit: Power amp sounds even worse. I don't know kinda starting to like the headset.
Well after a day of owning these I'm becoming more pleased. While the bass might not be as heavy as I like they're overall pretty clear. Anyone else that owns these know if the call and/or music button are supposed to blink at all? I was under the impression they were supposed to blink red..
I love mine. As soon as I found the equalizer setting and I changed the setting it sounds amazing. I just love them and the sound and I am an audiophile. The ONLY thing is now it turns on and off on its own. It is really annoying. Im going to go get it switched outn other than that I ABSOLUTELY love them for movies, games and music. Some people are leaving ignorant bad reviews o n other sites of it. Have they looked at the manual? Thats what I did. Also the red ring buttons around the buttons not lighting up was a little bit of a disappointment. But I'll live lol

Like I said they've grown on me quite a bit. I contacted Lg about the red lights. They said they're supposed to light up and suggested I return them for exchange. I did so and the new ones don't blink either. Neither did the service reps at the store. So I don't know if Lg has no clue or we all got defective devices, I think the first option is the case.
I have been using the hsb-700 model for at least 4 years and the are still working fine. But this looks like it would be a nice upgrade. The retractable wires would solve my one dislike on the 700, and better sound is always good! I'll have to put them on my wishlist.
I loved the sound on mine, but the retraction mechanism stuck a couple of times in the first few days. I don't think the red actually lights up like the picture on the box. One of the "features" is that the light is not as annoying as it used to be and it was put on the inside of the headset.
I returned them and picked up the 750's. The sound (bass included) is comparable, but not as clear at higher volumes. Also, the earbuds on the 900's were perfect. They are the same size (IMO) as the 700's and fit perfect in my ear. The 750 earbuds are way too big.
So, now I am debating going back to the 900's because they have the best combination of sound and comfort. I'll just have to get a 3 year, $15 squaretrade warranty to cover the thin wires and mechanism.
About to be on my fourth pair of these. The second pairs right earbud quit working after two weeks. Now the third pairs play/pause and track slider arent working properly. Just got off the phone with Lg and theyre going to replace them again. I just hope this isnt an ongoing issue with these. Hope this pair will be my last.
Sounds like i should just shut up and be happy that my 750's work perfectly...
wow that thing looks ugly as hell...
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
http://www.amazon.com/LG-Electronics-HBS-730-Bluetooth-Headset/dp/B009A5204K
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.

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.

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.
