Bluetooth headset for calling? - Xperia Z2 Accessories

Hi.
I'm looking for a Sony Bluetooth headset for calling. I usually go to noisy places so the most important thing is noise cancellation (or noise reduction) of the microphone.
I looked for that and I see there're three options:
-SBH52
-SBH70
-SBH80
I haven't used any of that so I don't know about their noise reduction(cancellation) performance.
Can anyone give me some advice or reviews about them?
Thanks.

[q] noise cancellation issues in earphones

i have been using XZU for over a month now but one thing bugs me a lot, whenever i call and talk via using out of box earphones, i can distincly hear the background sound myself and somehow instead of cancelling that background sound, its amplies it and send it to the other end, ive heard many of my callers tell me that they cant hear my voice as the background sound is a lot when im not in such a noisy atmosphere.
anybody else has faced this issue? any idea whats wrong and how i can solve it?
I am experiencing exactly the same issue. The headset picks up all the background noise when I am having a call, and it is annoying because I can't hear clearly what my caller is saying.... I'm sure it is a bug... Am on software update 532 and this is really bugging me

In settings/call settings there are some tick boxes you can try:
Hearing aids
microphone noise suppression
speaker voice enhancement
If they don't work then it must be a hardware issue. (ear piece with mic)
Personally I've never used the headphone set. I use the SBH-52 bluetooth unit

I confirm the same problem does not exist in Bluetooth headset but it only happens when you use a wired headset like the Sony MH750 supplied in the box. I have tried using other wired headsets and the same problem exist - your earphone just plays also the sounds that are received in the microphone so you are not only hearing the caller but you are also hearing your own voice as well as the noises of the surrounding environment.... really really annoying.

[Q] Accessing the stereo headphone microphones

Hey guys,
for the Xperia Z2 there are headphones which allow background noise suppressing for example when listing to music in the train or similar.
I now want to access these two microphones in an application of mine. My question is now whether this is possible or not and if it is possible how can achieve it. I tried to access them via the standard API of Android (AudioRecord), but had no luck. I also tried various different applications which can record audio but none of them worked either.
Thanks in advance and have a nice day
To my knolage, no.
The microphones on the earphones are not usable, simply because they are managed by firmware and this is the only device with this tech
Is this headphones, that have noise reduction don't work like a normal hands free, because they don't have microphone?

They can be used as normal hands free headphones. The microphones used for noise reduction are also used for picking up voice. I don't know how they do it but it works. What I miss is a hardware button on the wire to pick up and end calls. There is none and you have to take out your phone to answer.
Yes the two microphones can be used when when calling someone. Another interesting thing is that when changing the input device to stereo microphone (there is an accessory stereo microphone for getting better recording quality available) instead of noise canceling headset the two noise reduction microphones can be used as input for example when using the camera app. But then the audio output is not on the headset.

White noise with headset (any type)

Hello, guys,
M10P here running pie with May updates.
I get white noise for any headset i use ( in-ear, earbuds, head mounted). The white noise is apparent on every video or audio app.
Previously I could update headset driver but I can't find it anywhere and also cannot get the white noise go.
Any ideas please?
Thanks
Same here, bluetooth is so crappy that I don't even know if it's interference or something else.

Stereo bluetooth on phone calls? (ignore mic)

I got some new true wireless earbuds and the audio quality is great for music, and the microphone quality is actually great when recording something like a voice note. But as soon as you use both the audio and mic at the same time, both suck.
So is it possible to use the headset in stereo just for the audio and the phone's regular microphone during calls? I've been looking around for the last hour or so and can't seem to find anything. No apps, no settings, no developer options. As soon as I turn off calls on the device it just uses the phone's speakers and mic.

To be honest ... IDK.
On some devices, you can set another audio device for a special app.
Settings - Sound and vibration - Separate app sound
I just tried it with bluetooth speakers and the phone app, but was not successful. Maybe it works for you.

Question Poor in-call audio quality (muffled)

Hi everyone.
Just got my Edge 40 Pro and made a few calls on it, noticed a mediocre sound quality.
In-call sound is muffled and there's a general lack of clarity to it.
WhatsApp voice messages suffer from the same issue.
Problem is both on earpiece and speakerphone mode.
Also noticed that the network tones - the beeps you hear before the called person answers the phone - are unequal in length, one is short, the next one is long, and they have a reverb-like noise.
Other media like YouTube or Spotify is unaffected; in fact it's crystal clear.
Can anyone relate on this?
All things considered, I'm thinking there's some badly tweaked "audio enhancement" at work here.
Network operator is Iliad Italy.
Thank you
