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 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?

Yes it is but you will pay more and I'm not sure if it's stocked anymore m
LG Tones are great I love them get the first gen not the newer models I heard bad things from the new ones. Great sound and sometimes you forget you have them on.

wow, those are some high end headsets!
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.
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.
Philips SHB9100

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).
amzn.com/B008EOXXFI
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.
Nice=Nice
Nasty <> Help
Just a suggestion.
These sure seem legit. http://1sale.com/electronics/audio-gaming/backbeat-go2-wireless-earbuds/

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.

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.
