I'm looking into a bluetooth receiver to connect to my home stereo in order to be able to stream music from my touch hd. Been looking for a good page with comparisons between the different models, but with no luck. Anyone of you done any research into this? Sound quality is often overlooked in the reviews I've seen, which I find a bit weird, since it is a quite important factor for me. I mean, I realize that in going wireless you have to expect some loss of quality, but recently in a wifi-store I noticed they were streaming audio from an iphone, and the quality was really amazing. Too bad I didn't have time to find a clerk and ask what type of receiver they were using.'
Anyway, I would appreciate any kind of advice in this matter! Thanks in advance.
I guess you mean you connect a BT receiver on the stereo and streams from the HD to the stereo by BT? Ive been thinking of this myself, very interesting! The HD is a bit of a pain in the arse sometimes, when I connect my HD to my stereo I just have touch it a little bit and the phone starts playing on its speakers, the combined 3,5 Headphonejack / Headset connector is very sensitive. Is it this sensitive on other phones?
i have the sony ericsson mbr 100 bluetooth receiver and it works like a charm

Offtopic but i'll andswer anyway. My hero is fine with some headphone jacks but not others, usually the cheap cables/headphones cause the problems.
I use and app called Be Quiet for when a headphone jack does suddenly get pulled out, the media volume automatically drops to 0 (Poweramp and probably others already have this as a feature). When you plug the hedphones back in you have to remember to turn the volume back up however.
i don't know if you are still looking for it:
i use a plantronic pulsar 260. Bought it a couple of phones ago. still working. The product is discontinued by now. maybe they have a newer model.
you can read info here:

I recently got the BackBeat 903 as a replacement for my previous bt headset, and it works great for calls, however, when I tried listening to music the playback experience is not as good. The music plays just fine, but as soon as I move the phone, or if I turn the screen off the playback starts becoming choppy, as if the audio player (I tried several, and they all do the same) would loose CPU time and control to the G-Sensor or something, and then when I stop moving it around the playback resumes. Anybody had the same problem? Thanks for your help!

Hey there benitton, I have the same headset, and experience the exact same issue...intermittent skipping, as if the handset was bogging down for different reasons.
However, I'm firmly of the opinion that the issue is with the phone and the sub-par bluetooth stack in it, not with the headset itself. I haven't tried other BT stereo headsets with this phone, but I've used the backbeats with other devices, and didn't have the same issue at all.
Unfortunately, I haven't yet found any source or method for replacing the BT stack in the TP2, we may just be stuck with this one for good
Have you used any other stereo BT headsets with your TP2? If so, did you notice the same symptoms at all? (<----- that's a question for anybody, not just the OP)
Unfortunately I have not found any other headset that I would like to use, and as you mention, it seems that no matter which one we could use we'll have the same problem. I am trying to see if there is any way we can run any audio player in exclusive mode, maybe that could help a little bit, but since the BT stack is part the system, I guess it will still have problems. I tried disabling the G-Sensor, but I was not able to fully disable it, so I still had problems with the audio, but not as much as when it is fully enabled. I will keep trying to find something, and any suggestions you might have would be wonderful. Thank you!

I honestly haven't tried any other BT stereo headsets with the TP2, so I can't say for sure...but honestly for $12 I might just pick up that motorola to give it a shot and see.
But...I'm sure there's others here who have used that same model, or even different ones, who could comment on whether they've seen the same issues...
I have the backbeat 906 (it's a 903 with the headphone jack adapter in the box) and haven't had stutter problems using a Touch Pro 2, T-Mobile version, with the stock 6.5 ROM and S2P/S2U2. The audio quality has been great and I use the thing while running so it's obviously moving constantly. What software are you running on your phone that might be eating CPU?

Yeah I really should have bought the 906's instead...because now I can't find the adapter sold separately anywhere, and I already have a number of uses for it
Now when I have the issue, I usually have nothing running but the media player itself (I've had the issue with several different ones as well). However, after re-reading the OP's notes, they do bring up a good point...I've got my g-sensor set to work with manila too, so that might contribute to the issue, but it's intermittent enough that I can't tell yet whether turning the sensor off made any difference.
It also occured to me this morning that it might be related to the commonly-felt lag whenever the SMS module is engaged (like when receiving an SMS)...again, since not every SMS msg seems to affect the performance exactly the same, it'll be a little while 'till I can tell for sure.
While we wait for any other suggestions, those might be things for benniton to take a look at too

Interesting. I'm not using the g sensor for pretty much anything - usually when I'm using the 906s it's while running so my handset's got Endomondo, S2P, S2U2, and sometimes pocket outlook open. I've noticed it breaks up a little if i have my phone in the opposite pocket from the left earphone (so right pocket) but it doesn't stutter exactly, just drops in quality. left pocket is fine though. it's always been fine in a belt case.
Before S2P had working AVRCP on the Pro2 I was using the Music tab built into Manila and didn't have any lag issues with that either. Though, I just thought of this - wifi interference? BT and wifi use the same frequency bands and watching youtube videos over wifi has definitely induced a headphone stutter for me in the past. I got around it by letting the video cache first and then playing.
Problem disconnecting calls
Hey fellas...
I got the Plantronics Backbeat 903 for my Touch Pro 2. I really like the headset but I'm having a problem with it not disconnecting a call when I click the phone button on it to hang up.
It will always pick up the call when I click the button to answer but it will only sucessfully hang up the call maybe 1 out of 5 or six times.
Are any of you experiencing the same issue?
I had a Sprint Touch and bluetooth worked great with S9 headset. Then I got a Diamond and headset was horrible, lots of cut-outs, tried all kinds of things to no avail. Also got a Jabra BT2010, same problem with Diamond. Now I have the Touch Pro 2, Sprint, WM6.1 and Jabra works great with S2P, Resco Radio, StreamCenter and Slacker radio. Haven't tried with S9 because it died, battery won't hold charge, before I got the TP2. Just thought I would share my experience.
Was the quality good streaming with the TP2 Bluetooth or using the adaptor?
Can I ask what case you use with the TP2 when running? I would like this set up but don't want to risk damage to the phone through swear or rain. Does the TP2 fit in a iPhone armband?
Edit: Just found this thread for anyone else after an armband:

Good with both the TP2 and the adaptor. I use S2P on the phone for my music app along with S2U2. As far as cases go, I just run with the phone in my pocket - I've run races in the rain and the phone's been entirely unaffected. Very solid hardware.
I used the BackBeat 903 with my iPhone 3G and experienced the constant breakup of signal whenever I tried to move around. If I was completely motionless, it provided superb quality - but if I tried to slowly walk across the room - it would break up with a frequency that approximately matched every right step (the phone was in my right pocket).
I disabled the "shake to shuffle" feature, just to be sure.
I tried holding the phone right up by my shoulders while walking, yet the disruptions continued.
And now I have upgraded to an iPhone 4 - and the problem is worse, not better.
Are we sure this is an Apple problem and not a Plantronics problem? Either way, I can't use the 903 for its intended purpose - to listen while walking.
Very, very frustrated.

I normally keep my phone in my left hand pocket when using the headphones - I believe the antenna is on the left side. I experienced poor performance with my phone on the right side of my body, but performance is typically good on the left. I've noticed that if I have a significant amount of metal between my head and the phone pocket (like, say, a handgun) the signal breaks up - my assumption is that whatever is in between the phone and the headset causes interference in the bluetooth connection. The best performance I've had has been my phone in the left side pocket of a pair of gym shorts, only wearing the shorts and a t-shirt. Also, for some reason my insulin pump doesn't seem to have enough metal in it to cause interference.
You have to make sure that your mobile phone is located on the left side of your body whole time, while you're using backbeat 903. It's in the manual hehehe. This will solve your problem. cheers.
Problem solved!!!
atleast for me ...I simply disabled the WIFI and poof the choppyness is gone and now plays without any distortion clear as a bell...hope this helps.
Of course I also used a registry editor to remove unwanted programs and clean out useless files.......... I think the problem lies with The 528MHz Qualcomm CPU with 288 megs of RAM.. I do not think it is sufficient enough to run all things at once...I would suggest to remove any and all unnecessary programs/files, then disable all which can be enabled when needed....good luck.
Ok, so I have already done my searches on here and tried finding users of the TF that are using Bluetooth audio receivers and had no luck. I was wondering if anyone on here has been able to stream music from their tablet to their stereo and if so what are you using and what is the best range you have gotten out of the product.
I will be streaming music from about 30 feet away with a direct line of site.
Any help would be great seeing as I have not had any luck here on the forum finding someone that shares my common interest in Bluetooth for the TF.
Any help would be great! Thanks in advance!

Nothing?!?!?!
Hello,
I hope I can help you, even if I'm quite new in this tablet stuff...
I just got my TF101 and one of the first things to do was to use my AudioPro RadioOne as speaker by Bluetooth.
I just simply activated BT in the Transformer, searched for visible BT to couple with it and once found, I entered the code given in the radio's manual. Immediately the sound switched to the radios speakers (and was cut from Transformer whilw I used the radio). The sound is as good as it can be and much better than with a cable.
I could go on listening being ~10m (30ft, I guess) away in an other room with the Transformer.
The Transformer works easily on BT, you might need to find out your receivers configuration and code, normally given in the owners manual.
Hope this helps you a little bit =)
P.S. Sorry for my English...
receiver
I got one of these for my phone but havent tried with the tablet yet.... My phone and table pair, and my phone pairs with this, i assume it would pair with the receiver no problemo!
http://www.cellpower.com/products/NoiseHush-N550-Stereo-Bluetooth-and-3.5mm-Audio-Jack.html
gives you a nice 3.5 jack to use so its pretty versitile.
30 ft is pushing it though....i think that is right around bluetooth's limit.
One drawback to the product above is that you cant use whil charging
(Note: I am in no way associated with the site selling the above product, just happened to find they had the best price!)
I just ordered the Belkin BT. I will let you know how that goes.

For very good noiseless audio and MUCH further transmission than bluetooth, I use Audio Engine W1. The only thing it does require USB power. Should work with dock but I haven't gotten it to work yet; need straight power only pins out. A battery powered USB port should work. (plugged in to USB power) worked great at a presentation I did this past weekend.
Bluetooth should be straight forward. I use some sony bluetooth headphones that work great.
I'm still looking for a quality solution for using your own headphones. Bluetooth is not good enough really. Ideally I would like a usb transmitter and a wireless reciever I can plug my headphones into and can run for around 6 hours. Q-Bean-ST is the only thing I have found but they look like junk and the battery life is a bit crap.
This thing has been working well for both the phone and the tablet but I have only really used it for about 10 feet or so. Quality is good enough for me (admittedly not an audiophile, just streaming during parties and such). http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0038MA11U
Reviews of the belkin "plug in" model have said people have used it when the transmitting device all over the house.

Youre barking up the wrong tree. Bluetooth is "good enough." Where it isnt people are running audio to $400 IEMs and no wireless solution would be satisfactory. So, using that logic nobody develops it.
Maybe I just had a bad experience using a SE HBH-DS970. It constantly drops out and cannot go more than a few feet from the transmitter.
A lot of it has to do with the transmitter. My phone, for instance, seems to only get about 10 feet with line of site. The laptop can be in other rooms no problem. The TF, I just tested it, can only go one room over, once you get a few walls in the way it cuts out occasionaly.
This is all using the thumb sized receiver posted above, the amazon reviews make it sound like the powered belkin model has better range but I never pulled the trigger because if I am using it I am either in the car or in the living room having it play over the sound system attached to my dish/bd player/tv so I am no more than a dozen feet away at any given time.
I use the Voiis bluetooth audio receiver, works great! Good audio quality.
Well, the Nokia AD42W works great with my Transformer to listen to anything through my stereo. I got it very cheap in a local shop, it's possible that the product is discontinued...
Of course, there's the problem of delay. You have to forgive the lack of lip-sync when playing through BT, but it's a bit annoying at times. Audio quality is great, of course not as good as a direct connection.
I have tried it with my Sony system, lg tv, Samsung tv and Sony tv, b-tube speaker,
All worked fine,
Do have a slight issue with the Sony,
I can stream music through bt to the tv once paired,
But to send a picture to the tv I have to un-paire first
I use a Kenwood KDC-BT945U with an A2DP profile and it works great.

So this bluetooth should work fine with eee Transformer, right?
Bluetooth headset should be used as audio device and also as chat device.
I have a stereo one, and it works fine as music listening but microphone doesn't work even if in the parameters it is recognized as phone and audio. we have to say that integrated microphone is so good that it is not necessary to to link to another one (joke)
2 days searching and no fix for that integrated microphone quality problem. the only solution is a (f...) wired headset.

I am in search for a good bluetooth headset to my Gear S. I came across the "SMS Audio Sync by 50 Wireless".
I have contacted the support which told me that that a headset hands-free communication has.
they told me that i have to note that this mic has MFI controls!?
What is MFI controls? This is an Apple standard?
has anyone tested the "SMS AUDIO SYNC IN EAR HEADSET"?
Does the phone with the gear s?
what can you recommend for bluetooth headsets?

I have the bose over the ear bluetooth headset abs love then. I just ordered the LG tone infinum I think it's called to try then out with the watch.
Keep us posted with your experience of the LG Tones as i plan to buy them in a couple of weeks.
I use Logitech H800 and they work great for how cheap you can get them. I've had them for almost 2 years now, which is probably my longest relationship with a pair of headphones.

I use the Motorola Buds, good for music and built in mic for calls.
I use LG HBS Tone Plus. Would have gotten the Infinim, but the reviews I read were not too favorable in comparison to the Tone Plus.
I love that they are very flexible and light-weight, I can run with them without them bouncing up and down, I can control music and audiobooks (play/pause/ff/rw), as well as phone calls (answer/hang up/ volume up/down) from the buttons on the right and left side of them.
I also love that they tell me the battery status when I turn them on, and that they let me know they are running out of juice "Battery very low. Recharge now."
I use them for my Note 2 and Gear S simultaneously, which is nice.
The best part about them is that the earbuds are kept in place with magnets, and I can have one earbud in my ear, and the other one left in it's little magnetic cradle, so I can hear my surroundings.
If you can't tell, I am totally in love with my Tone Plus. They have survived daily sweaty runs, rain, snow, Off Deepwoods, steam... If you are a runner, get them. If you aren't, get them anyway.
Bluebuds X are amazing and great battery life.

+1 for JayBird Bluebuds X.
I'm not sure how common the battery issue is, but the problem could stem from improper charging. The earphones are quite small and trying to charge them using an adapter that is suited for a Cellphone or tablet may put too much strain on the battery. This is an issue for all batteries if you're using improper charging adapters... battery life will ultimately suffer greatly. It's best to charge these earphones with something that outputs a small amount of charge... the smaller the charge, the better it'll be for the battery. Something like a USB jack from your laptop/computer or ones commonly found in vehicles today are suitable and shouldn't cause any harm. Regardless of this issue, JayBird will gladly replace the earphones just as they have for those that have had this issue before.
Other than the battery issue, another common concern has been with the earphone tips. Some say they don't hold well inside the ear and don't block out outside noise well either. I personally never used them beyond just trying them on for the first time when I got my Bluebuds so I can't confirm this, but I highly recommend pairing the Bluebuds with some foam tips from Comply... They are recommended many times over by other Bluebuds owners and I personally find them to be amazing.
Beyond the concerns, the Bluebuds have excellent sound quality and are known for having a perfect amount of bass. They're absolutely great for working out and I love how they fit. I don't ever really use them to make voice calls, but I recommend not wearing them in the configuration where the cable goes over the ear and the mic is located behind your head... It doesn't work well for voice calls obviously lol. Wearing them any other way is no different than your common hands-free earphones.

I have LG Tone Infinim too, but I don't know about you but while it pairs flawlessly with my LG G3 it doesn't want to pair with my LG G Pad (tablet) 10.1, when scanning for a bluetooth device on my phone it it finds it correctly by it's product name but on my tablet same process produces a device named "Misc" but when attempting to pair it it fails! I had high hopes for LG Tone Infinim but when it fails in something like this I doubt it's quality!

I would quicker blame the tablet then the headphones. I have it paired to my Mac, S6 Edge and windows 8.1 all without a problem. While I have occasionally had call quality issues, they are rare enough that it doesn't bother me so much.
I'm using two, one is Sony MDR-1RBT, second is Plantronics Backbeat Fit. Both with from my point of view excellent battery life time. The Sony should have up to 30h, can't confirm it in detail, but I'm happy with battery life. Sound is for me fine. To get plantronics at the end to was because Sony looks a bit heavy when I use it on the road.
I use plantronics beats 2, and they are really good..

Hey guys. I have a 2017 Subaru wrx. When I connect my v 30 over Bluetooth to listen to my music it sounds tinny and metallic. I'm using Google music to stream music. I never had issues with music over Bluetooth with my previous phones. Any help is greatly appreciated!

What head unit? I have the non navigation unit in mine. Wondering if it'll sound the same.
No issues streaming over to my car, Mazda 3 here. Not sure what to tell you as it's just a digital stream of data between your phone and car. All of the unpackaging is done on the car's side of things. The phone is using the newer BT 5 which allows it to put out a lot more data, so I don't see that being a problem. Check your streaming quality settings in Google Music and if that's set as high as it can go, check to see if maybe your car's system needs an update.

I have problems with podcasts, but music comes through beautifully.
Are you streaming files from the phone or streaming from your own music or listening to streaming stations? If streaming, you can try adjusting the quality settings in google play music.
No issues here with my Hyundai Sonata w/ Infinity headunit. I use standard BT (44 KHz) and Android Auto (48 KHz) and actually find the quality to be improved from my past 3 phones (V20, S8+, Note8).
I get popping and crackling streaming to isimple connect.
Music and podcasts were fine for me. Call were terrible. Lots of static on calls. I has this issue with two V30s. I had to return the phone and go with the GS8+.
coming from my moto pure, which was terrible on the bluetooth with my 2013 tacoma (HU is from a 2015 Tacoma) i had decent sound but it would drop out all the time, this phone is a dramatic improvement. there are more features in play, and the sound quality is as good as can be expected for streaming audio on a stock unit and speakers.
I was just coming in to say the same. Even from my V20, going through a cheap walmart BT - FM Transmitter, the sound is richer on the V30 than it was before, and less static between the devices.
Check your quality settings in Google

Have you tried changing the quality on mobile network settings in Google Play Music? Could be a case the source is low quality causing your distortion.
I've tried changing the quality and there's no difference.
I'm currently struggling with static over Bluetooth in my WRX. This morning I actually did a factory reset on the stereo. I couldn't tell as I was kinda in a hurry to test it too much. I will find out here in about 1.5hrs though.

Do you have Android Auto as an option? I've found BT streaming to be more stable when I use AA in my car. It streams at 48Hz instead of 44Hz.
That being said, I don't have quality issues either way. Just the occasional blip in streaming that lasts less than a second.

I don't have that option unfortunately. I wish I did though. What I've tried so far, just creates the same issue. No way around it as of yet.

I will test tomorrow in my car where I stream over my audio system using a Audioengine B1. So far I tested BT today using my BT headphones and they definitely sound a little different. I think they sound cleaner and very good though. This is compared to my Moto X Pure 2015, which seemed to sound very good also. The overall volume was a little lower than my previous phone but with the vol all the way up it was perfect for me to enjoy and overcome the sound of my lawnmower while cutting the lawn today
So no issues so far.
no problem at all on my jeep with Uconnect
Tested today in my car using my Audioengine B1 (stereo) and car BT (cell), sounds awesome!!
Plus found out since its a metal back plate it sticks to the dash magnet thingy I have vs using the metal plate inside of a case!!
SO far loving this phone.
Nothing useful to add at the moment beyond noting that my 2017 Subaru (BRZ) has the same issue. It appears it may be something unique to the pairing of a Subaru HU and the V30, or possibly just LG. My Sony Z5 works just fine with the stock HU, and the V30 works fine with a very cheap 1DIN HU I have around... I've reached out to Subaru but don't expect anything but finger pointing.
I'll instead likely be changing the HU to something that does Android Auto or even mirror-link... if only it were easy to make any sense of the Android HU offerings! I admit I'd sort-of like to keep the reverse camera and the steering wheel controls. I guess it wasn't worth saving the $800 on the 2017 after all (with 2018 now available for order with a price increase...) - then again, I may like whatever I install better.
I just wanted to add what I found since seems a lot of issues are from scoobies. I have an 2011 Forester XT stock non-nav HU. HU will never auto connect like it did with my HTC 10. But I found out that if I connect it through the HU works like a charm everytime. Before I was going to BT setting on the LGV30 and connecting it that way. And sometimes it would connect and if it did was really spotty, sound would stutter all the time. Drive me nuts. Now with connecting first through the HU works like a charm all the time, and just sometimes their is stutter. For my HU i've attached a pic of where the setting would be. and for me would be to click on "select audio player" and the click V30 and all is heaven.
Hope that helps some fellow scoobies.
