Headphones

Im looking for headphones that have music seek controls (forward and back), pause, and a mic. They have to be compatible with the Atrix, as my nexus headphones are not.

Sony Ericsson MW600. Bluetooth headphones that work pretty well with the Atrix.

you need to make sure you have compatible software (music player) - there are only 4 wires (connections) - left and right audio, mic, and ground - putting more buttons doesn't change this fact.
Something has to interpret what connections you are making and breaking and turn that into actions.

I use these for both travel, and to drown out noise at work while I am constipating deeply:
Motorola S9-HD
So far I have had 5 hours battery life on a full charge, despite reading previously that a full charge was 2-1/2 - 3 hours. Now I have had time to really use them I have found it to be good. Also, the mic, although in one of the earpieces has had good feedback as far as people hearing me on calls. Atrix battery barely drains while using these over bluetooth.

I have the original S9 headphones, this 'sport headset' stopped working because of moisture while using at the gym. I just put them in a box, but discovered that this is a major and longstanding issue that Motorola refuses to address. Sound familiar?

I hear the S10 headphone are horrendous. The reviews on amazon are bad.
I have a S9-HD (came from moto warranty), and they are pretty good with Atrix. My previous phone seemed to hate them. Coudln't get a foot away without it cracking out. Seems to work okay with Atrix.
Just make sure you buy them from moto or amazon... there are a lot of fakes.
Other ones I like are the HT820's from moto, but I don't htink they sell them anymore. They are kind of big (and hurt your ears until you get used to them), but they have amazing range and like 15 hours of battery.

Have you considered something like the jabra bt3030? Has controls and Mic but allow you to use your own headphones quality headphones. I think there is also a jabra clip or something like that. Might be worth looking into.

I have some S10s. Had a set of S9s before that. Sound reproduction on both isn't the best but as functional devices they are excellent. For good quality a headphone rather than an earphone is the way to go.
Only real downside is that the earbuds tend to ping off in your bag.
Haven't had any issues with moisture either. Even dropped my S9s in the sink once and they were fine afterwards.

I was actually looking to something similar. I tried to plug in the headphones that came with my iPhone but it doesn't seem to work for some reason. Anybody know of anything that is under the $30 mark? Don't want to spend a fortune for a wireless bluetooth headset

Try the Klipsch S4i's. I have the S4's and they're amazing

I still haven't figured out why they won't work. My wife picked up a set of Bose headphones from Sam's for her iPhone and the button works on my Atrix, but the stock iPhone headset doesn't.

Its most likely proprietary, like everything apple makes is.

[Tips] Bluetooth headphones

I want to know what Bluetooth headphones are the best and why.... Am looking for both ears... also Am somewhat tired of wired headphones... Pictures are welcomes ^_^ Thanks for your time!

I use the Moto S305 headphones. Bought them 2 years ago for $40 Canadian fit well for me and decent range (prob 20-30 ft or more if you have the sight line)
The audio quality is acceptable...Not alot of bass but acceptable for a headphone(i listen to techno/dance/alternative)
i get roughly 8-10 hours before i need to recharge ( so once a week as i commute 2 hours a day)
hard to beat for the price - paid 40 dollars Canadian.
I did try some sony full can headphones(not sold anymore) and they had much better bass(expected) but costed 99.99 so i settled with the cheaper option. There were also a few in ear sets but i personally cant stand ear buds(dont like the feeling)

I have a pair of Jaybird Freedoms. They come with a lifetime warranty (includes sweat damage) and sound great. I've had them for a year, used them while running and they are still as good as the day I bought them.

i second the jaybird freedoms. i tried the moto ones and they actually hurt my head. i wore them an entire 10 minutes before i decided they weren't for me. i picked up the freedoms in place and there's been no issues with them. my only minor grievance is they charge with a mini usb, it would have been so much easier if they used micro since that's pretty much the standard now.

I bought the lg tone hbs-700 bt headset and im liking it pretty well. I work for a telephone company as a service tech so im always out and about, it serves me well
only thing i wish is that it would have more bass i haven't tried using a program to set the eq yet ive owned them for about 3 weeks and use them everyday what i really like about them is that they work great for making phone calls even in the wind i can put the band under my shirt and the people can hear me fine and it cuts the wind out.

I have a pair of Beats Wireless by Dre, i was quite skeptical but they last an incredibly long time and recharge quickly. audio quality is superb as well as range between both my Macbook pro and Galaxy Nexus LTE. the only issue at the moment is on some older Bluetooth types (anything below 3.0) the audio stutters. The company is troubleshooting the issues. (my father works there). they are a little pricey (280$) but I'm really happy with mine, they are comfortable and look stylish too. I get lots of comments at work!

Check out the Tenqa REMXD Bluetooth headphones if you're looking for a style like Beats. They're only $39 with free shipping on Amazon.

need recommendation for a good BT Headset

need recommendation for a good BT Headset.
i'm a student so my budget ain't high but i do need a good one with noise cancaletion so people will be able to hear me outside

What is your actual budget? I'd recommend Blueant: the V1x if money is really a concern. If you look at the stats the V1x is just the surplus V1 that they had in case people needed warranty replacements down the road so you can usually find it for a bit less: around $30 if all you get is the earpiece and the charging cable.
You can get the original V1 or the x with all the extra ear hooks and the inserts as well as car charger for about $55 and $40 respectively.

http://www.amazon.com/BlueAnt-V1X-C...F8&qid=1345139692&sr=8-1&keywords=blueant+v1x

looks small as hell...
my budget... 30$~40$

It's just the right size. Do you want a huge, weighty thing dangling from your ear? As I said you can get it for about $30 if all you get is the headset and USB charger. I think it's worth it for the inserts because you can leave it in your ear without the hook, but that's a matter of preference I suppose.

I recommend anything by PlanTronics that fits in your price range. I've always had good luck with their headsets and keyboards (seriously).

DELL BH200 Bluetooth 2.0 Stereo Headset:good:

sorry to hijack thread, but along these lines, what's a good budget solution for bluetooth for calls in your car that's not a headset. I think there was a motorola device that clipped on to your cars sun visor. Anyone have any recommendations? I have just found headsets somewhat awkward.

I think I have an almost new planetronics Bluetooth headset. It was really nice, I bought it as a gift for my stepdad.
Shortly after that he got the Blue Parrot 250 something or other, it's made for truck drivers and heavy equipment operators and things like that and it suited him better.
I'll see what the model on the planetronics one is and if I can easily lay hands on it I might sell it to you cheap.

I've found that having a cheap backup (ordered mine online from China with free shipping) can save your bacon if your primary one dies on battery at a critical moment. The backup may not have the same quality, but if you're in the middle of a hands-free call, you'll have something to fall back on. My backup bluetooth battery seems to hold its charge for months at a time, so its not a big issue if you use it infrequently.

Don't buy the writeright screen protectors.

Purchased the 3 pack at Walmart for ten bucks, there is no cutout for the microphone, so you're muted. Almost didn't notice it because I had my stereo headset on all day and calls were fine. Got home, disconnected Bluetooth and nobody could hear me. Returning them tomorrow.
tl;dr - they don't work

Just got mine today and same thing. I can't find a support site for them so i can complain.

Headphones for Pixel 2 XL (Type C and Bluetooth)

Hey fellows,
using a Galaxy s7 edge since 1.5 years with a 3.5mm Headphonejack, I have to rethink, how to hear music on my Pixel 2 XL.
Tbh i dont like to use 3.5mm headphons with the adapter because of comfort and sound quality.
Thats why I would like to have a nice wired (Type C) or / and good bluetooth in-ear headphones.
Im looking for cheap but good sounding earphones. Any hints?
Actually i guess im going to get Meizu EP51 as bluetooth earphones for running and gym. And now im searching for great wired type c phones.
Let me know, which one you'll get.
Regards!

for Bluetooth go with a good aptx or aptx-hd headphones/earphones
for usb c they are new and there is no good ones so far
for the premium earphones, selection check these

I'm in the same market, but am waiting to see what happens in the Google Assistant space. Googles website lists a few of the newer premium models that will support Google Assistant, but only some are in stock.
Libratone Q Adapt USB-C
Libratone Q Adapt BT (over ear)
Other models from AiAiAi and Master and Dymanic are coming soon, but most of them are over ear. There's a full list here.
I have the Rowkin's for my in ear bluetooth currently. Can't get much smaller than that.
Lastly, since you asked about in ear USB-C, you can try these out from Zorloo. I had a pair of their Micro-USB Ze:ro's and loved them.

Here is another list
https://9to5google.com/2017/10/05/h...phones-currently-compatible-with-the-pixel-2/

Is there any options for bluetooth 5.0 headphones? Is there any benefit to having BT5.0? The range on my current BT headphones is very weak especially when in my workout carrying case.

I have the Plantronics Backbeat Fit, and I love them. They sound really good (not premium, high-end I don't think), they don't move around when I'm working out, and they are super comfortable. They have a new gen out too. I think I paid $65-70 for them open box?
I checked out reviews for all of the major headphone brands, also tried out a couple cheaper ones. Most did not fair well in reviews except this set, and the others I tried were not good.

Bluetooth 5 has a range 120 to 140 feet, as apposed to 33 feet with most 4.1 bluetooth devices. But you will need a bluetooth device that matches the bluetooth accessory to get the distance. There are also other enhancements such as multiple devices can be used at the same time. I read an articel on this a few weeks ago. I hope my memory has given you some big enhancements with bluetooth 5.

Bose sound sport wireless for the win. They are awesome sound quality. 150 bucks. In my opinion the new truly wireless 250 dollar ones aren't worth it.

I bought these when I was waiting on my Essential to come, and they actually worked really well. Wasn't sure about the whole noise cancelling thing, but since they don't need to be charged separately (the phone powers the noise cancelling), I figured I would give them a shot. Really liked them, but ended up returning the Essential in favor of the 2 XL, so now I'm just hoping they're compatible, but I'm hoping that won't be an issue...they're not the most comfortable, since they have the large rubber things so they stay in place for active folks (I'm not one of them), but I got used to them. And the noise cancelling and ambient noise feature are actually pretty useful. But they've been sitting dormant since I returned the Essential and came back to good old Shamu (If only I could find a reverse 3.5mm -> USB-C adapter hahah). The fact that I got them for like $80 (down from $200 which is just ridiculous) made it a pretty good deal in my mind. The 17th can't come soon enough!
PS I wanted earbuds and didn't want wireless, or anything that needed to be charged, but the options seem to be extremely limited at this point

Yep, I love mine. They sound REALLY good for just being little earbuds. I've had very nice over-ear headphones, currently have a pair of AiAiAi's, and the fit beats are pretty good! Jump rope is the only thing I've found that makes them budge. Floor workouts, everything else they don't move.

Another agreed, they are excellent for my HIIT cardio workouts and reasonable price!

I love my PowerBeats 2. I previously tested a bunch of different Bluetooth headphones for the gym and these are the only ones that stay in my ears consistently and have excellent sound. Battery life is around 8 hours and the Bluetooth connection distance is quite good. I can put my phone on a ledge and work my way through a ~100ft area for the weights and never lose signal.
If I decide to go with the Pixel 2 XL (still debating) I'll be getting the PowerBeats 3 for the gym and leave my PowerBeats 2 at my office desk. One area of contention with the loss of the headphone jack is that I work from home full time and have various clients calling me multiple times a day. So I usually have a set of wired headphones sitting on my desk that I can quickly plug in before answering the phone. With the 2 XL I won't have that option so I'll resort to the PowerBeats 2 to always be ready to quickly turn on and pair.
For those wondering, the PowerBeats 3 are essentially the same as the previous generation but with an even greater Bluetooth signal range and longer battery life.

I have been using the Samsung Gear Circle for years. They sounds great, stay in my ear while at the gym and the battery seems to last forever.

These headphones have lasted through 2 washes for me. They sound great if you squeeze them into your ear canal, but I can't think of a way to keepnthem in like that. Otherwise they are great because they hang on and don't fall out.
