BT stereo headset - JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Accessories

Anyone got a BT stereo headset they can recommend?
I was wondering perhaps if there was such a one that could be used as a good stereo multimedia headset, and converted to mono earpiece for use in gps navigation?

Have the Moto S9-HDs and they work great.

thanks kareem.
I was looking at the Plantronics Voyager 855. In a review I read the S9 sounds better. So I may now change my mind! Does the S9 work ok as a standard BT for answering phone?

I use this ones since some time ago and they sound quite well (Not new model of course)
Sony HBH-DS970

Moto S9-HD
Ok, I bought a Moto S9-HD (£10 on eBay).
WOW! I had been using HFP on my blade (obviously for navigation, not music!! I had to use wired for music.)
But this A2DP is great.
I can now cut my lawn without precarious wires dangling! (as long as I do it within 6 hours..!)
The S9 has great volume - for once I can switch it up 'too' loud; with my blade and jabra BT2020 (<- very disappointing) I always had them on 'full blast' and then had to switch the Uni up.
The S9 is two sided - it can do phone calls and it can also play music (and 3rd dimension can also remote control the music).
I expect I'm only ranting on what A2DP can do, rather than the S9... and am sure the DS970 and Voyager 855 has the same properties. [NB, a difference between the S9 and 855 is how they sit in your ears... unsure about DS970 (orb?)].
Ok, bottom line. If you have an HTC Uni, get an A2DP headset.
No-one knows what's hidden in your pocket as you can totally control it from your headset (AVRCP). I can skip tracks, go back, pause, change volume and also answer calls (HSP)
And then of course you can totally blow people away by taking you Uni out your pocket and letting them know what it can do . Doesn't matter it's big, as long as you can carry it... and us blokes (hrmm, and capable ladies, excuse me enigma1nz ) are able to put it in a pocket (hrmm, handbag) etc. [nb, not to tell a funny story, but I have found that handbags/ ladies/ men/ pockets are all interchangeable these days.. yes, men have handbags!.. but I digress and wish to stop digging this bit hole I've found myself in ]
I'm unsure under UK law if I can use my S9 in my car (just for phone / navi), even though it's better than my other BT earpieces... anyone know? (Because under UK law you're not allowed to obscure your hearing by wearing headphones whilst driving... yet you are advised to use a handsfree kit otherwise you will be prosecuted)
Thanks kareeem & orb3000.

Jabra BT headphone
As promised;
I got the Jabra headset yesterday, and last night I was able to try it. First of all, sound quality is better than expected. Setup was somewhat confusing, since the manual is not so clear. But, I managed. Made a couple of phonecalls, all fine. Overall, nice set of headphones. Luckily, the flashing blue leds can be turned off.
Hi
I use the Anycom BSH-100. The Headset is not bad at all, with HS/HF/A2DP/ AVRRCP and a up to 200 h standby + upto 12 h music playtime.
Tech data here: http://www.anycom.com/products/bluetooth_audio_video/stereo_headset_bsh_100/?id=102&partno=CC3300
There is no buildin Microphone. A small (about 3 cm) mic is attacht to the side mini usb-jack. This mini usb-jack is also used to charge the batteries. Most of the time i forgett the mic, when charging the Headset, so i use the Headset often to listen to mp3s and recive calls without using the headset. ( a bild in Mic would be better) The headset goes to mute when a call comes in.
picture here: http://files.anycom.com/images/products/lifestyle/cc3300_lifestyle_01.jpg
+ (plus):
Handling is very easy.
Long Standby & playtime
small transport size (faltable)
- (minus):
seperate Mic
Sound Quality is OK but not as good as a normal wired-headset. (maybe normal for BT)
no option to turn of the flashing blue led
best regards Oliver
Hi, Anyone using Jabra Bt320 with the Touch? I tired to connect for stereo headset but its fails. I had the same problem with Dopod 810 but some after making some changes in the registry the problem was solved. I tired the same tweaks in Touch but it fails. Any suggestion from the forum? Thanks
I used the BT320
and the stereo was fine. I also made the adjustments to the registry and it carried on working fine.
However, I sent the unit back because I bought a Jabra 120s with it and found that, after initial pairing problems (which went away), there was an audio lag which made watching TV rubbish!
When you pair with the BT320s, you should have the option to use it as either
1. a hands-free or
2. wireless stereo.
If you don't, delete the device from your Touch then...
...plug the BT320s into it's charger, three times, for 4 seconds each time.
Now pair again and the option for wireless stereo will magically appear.
Try Motorola S9. Nice and solid. Matches Touch design too.

You get what you pay for comes to mind with BT headsets.
I have yet to come across one headset that plays great stereo sound
and gives you great call quality. However, for stereo sound the Motorola
S9 kicks arse over anything out there and the Jawbone does the voice
calls better than anyone out there. S9 is around $100US and the Jawbone
is $130US ish. Not cheap but you won't be looking to replace them because
they don't do their job. Now if you have a big melon the S9 maybe a problem.
AE!
Hi.
I got the HT820 from Mototola.
Sound is good.
Easy installation on Touch.
Noise cancelling.
Looks a little bit spacy but fits good.
AND I payed 12€ for it on ebay.de.
I use BT320s
Hi,
I am using Jabra BT320s, It just works fine with my Touch. I did the in pairing initially, but after I upgraded with latest firmware I don't have any problem in pairing.
firmware can be found here
http://rapidshare.com/files/51865424/JabraBT320swebupdate_1077.zip
Please read the instruction to update the firmware
Well i got the Motorola BT820 last week, very satisfied
great sound nice volume, little weakness but accepteble by my standard
when theres a lot of static noise the build in mic does piick up on that a bit.
i use it for mp3 mostly, and o yeah its comfortoble too
price is nice if i compare to other headsets,
still thinking about trying the new logitech headset
is there anybody who has experienced it
I have posted a question regarding a small problem with the Bb20s right here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=326489
This is a description of my problem, as posted. Does anyone have an idea?
---
Received my Jabra 620s yesterday. First impressions: it is quite big and heavy, but it is better than earplugs ;-) Sounds quality is quite good.
Here is my problem: After pairing the headset with my device, everything behaves as expected until some event (this happend on multiple occasions, different trigger but the same result): the headset controls still function (i.e. I can skip songs etc), but the HTCs audio is routed to the HTC speaker instead of the headset. I cannot fix this, the only way is to remove the bluetooth connection, repair and I am good to go again.
I'd second the comment on the Motorola S9. I got the S9 to go with my old magician, but now that I've upgraded to the Touch, things are even better.
The S9 workd flawlessly for stereo music and also as a regular hands free headset. I can't tell you how many times I've been out jogging, litening to music and I get a cal from people. They say the call sound quality is good, but always wonder why I'm breaking fast.
I hve changed to HTC BH S100 (in-ear is better for jogging)
sound quality is good, no problems...yeah should be no problems when using HTC stuff only ;-)
i found the Motorola S9s to be outstanding. I have never been so happy with a BT headet.
Sony DR-BT30 Q
Got it for 34 euro's and they make me happy.
Good reach on the touch compared to my wizard

What kind of a bluetooth headset do you use?

With a variety of bluetooth headsets, which type do you use...
I use a Motorola H500 usually, works just fine, I sold a Motorola HS801 to a friend of mine (who has a universal), working ok.
I also use a couple a Sony DR-BT30Q, the finest BT stereo I have listened to.
bye

ı use Motorola ht820 also... it is great stereo headset... ı recommend for all user...
I still cannot believe what I am seeing .... the majority of headset users use mono!
Kinda like driving a Ferrari at 100 kmph in a 200kmph zone! Sure the ride gets bumpy at 200kmph ... but that is what the Ferrari was built for.
Incase you have lost the analogy, sure a mono headset is much more compact than a stereo one, but the stereo makes a whole world of a difference. Ofcourse I might be wrong, are there any other reasons for the mono headsets dominating the stereo ones? Maybe price .... but this is largely irrelevant in most countries as well as to most users .... I think :!
Err - I only use bluetooth headset to make/receive calls. I've not used many stereo telephones recently!
If I wanted bluetooth for music, it'd be stereo.
I use an el cheapo samsung wep200 knock off (comes with earband). It's very sensitive to inteference sometimes, but works very well inside the car. I use it in the office too and I find that I can walk about 20 feet to the secretary's desk and still have a clear connection; outdoors however a lot depends on what other objects are around you. Cars, walls, even fencing can intefere with it, but large open spaces like an empty carpark work well.

Looking for BT stereo headset to pair to two phones.

I have to carry two phones for work and personal use. I'd like to listen to mp3sc or streaming audio from the internet from my personal phone while working but still be able to take work calls. Taking personal calls would be a very nice addition also.
Is there a headset that can do this? What about a single ear unit?
Personal phone... TMo Wing (Herald)
Work phone... Nokia 6103
Moto H9's
these to me are the best I've ever ever heard......their about 100.00 bucks but well worth it!!!!
MY 2 Cents Peace, mike
You can look at jabra BT 8010. It works as single ear unit or double as stereo with included spk.

Many headsets can pair with 2 or more devices.
I have the Sony-Ericsson HBH-DS970 and I really like it - great sound - minimal weight and appearance - you can tuck one earpiece into your shirtpocket for work use if you need to leave one ear free - nice LED controller for music - see this review, their only complaint was lack of a clip - I just pulled one off a headset I didn't like much, attached to this, and I'm good to go. I think the DS980 is the current version.
I like the Plantronics 855. You can use them single or dual. More discreet and light weight than the Jabra 8010, I have those too.
Also can pair with more than one phone or mp3 player and they pause for phone calls. A2DP.

Moto H9 aren't stereo are they?
Motorola H820s
..better battery life than the S9s, pair with up to 8 devices. i love mine, listening to them now in the office. they also handle handoff really nicely - other headsets i've had have been a pain when they go out and back in range...

Decent bluetooth headset

Hi guys, just signed up to this forum as I've just recieved a T-Mobile MDA Vario IV. I didn't like it (the operating system so I agreed with T-mobile to send it back and was going to get the N97 when it comes out, as I like the Symbian OS, but decided to keep the MDA now
I was wondering if anyone knows of a decent bluetooth headset that I can use for phone calls as one of my jobs involves alot of driving and it's easier to use a headset. I used to have a Motorola one that I got just after they brought out a law saying that if you get caught using your phone while driving then you get 3 points and a £60 fine. I've since lost the charger for it, and now the headset, so I'm looking for another one. I've looked on eBay, and there are thousands of them, so I was just wondering which ones people are using and if they are any good. I don't want to spend £20 or something on one and for it to be crap, in terms of sound quality, loudness, battery life, etc.
Cheers
I use Nokia BH-503
they're great
works fine with my x1
they are stero though
I use Sony HBH-DS970 on my Uni and work great
Stereo
Sennheiser MX W1 - No Bluetooth but excellent Audio quality.
Whoops, forgot to mention that its just for audio listening, no microphone
Watch the motos BT headsets listed on ebay, there is a ton of fakes going around. I've read this in a few places in the past...

[Q]"Best" Headset for Note?

Hi all,
I'm wondering what headset (Bluetooth/Wired) you use for your Note? I'm using Marshall Minor, but I still find the volume not loud enough.
Would any of you recommend something else? I live in Hong Kong which is fairly noisy, so something that has good volume would be great.
Thanks in advance!
I haven't got a Note yet, but I use the Sony MW600 bluetooth headset with my HD2. And I'd be lost without it - best thing I've bought!
No problems syncing to the device, it has remote control (pause, next/previous), hands free talk as it has built in mic, and comes with in ear buds, which are very good indeed. They block out quite a bit of external noise too, but you can plug in any headset you want to it if you want to go to higher spec headphones. Battery lasts about 10 hours continuous use, and it will re-charge of your Note's charger.
I'm not an audiophile, but I do like music. And it does me fine.
http://www.handtec.co.uk/product.ph...w600---black?gclid=CLftmIS1n6wCFYEZ4QodOzpc_Q
Edit - Just had a look at the Marshalls, and these would offer a tighter fit in the ear then the Marshalls, so would block out more external noise. I wear mine in work, even if i'm not listening to music. I work in the print industry with loud machinery, and they are better than the ear plugs we get given, which reduce external noise by 27 dB. If I'm listening to music in work while my machines are running, and you want to chat - then you ain't gonna get through unless you're in my face!

I use the Novero Rockaway wireless-BT headphones (they also have Mic). Good bass-response for music together with active-DSP for voice calls, all in a neat little package. [http://shop1.novero.com/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=44&language=en]

That's a pretty sweet headset. How much does it stick out after you put it on? Does it get loose easily? I used to own a pair of the Sony is800 headset and it would fall out easily. I was wondering if this is the same.
http://www.amazon.com/Sony-Ericsson..._1_1?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1320511788&sr=1-1
I'm currently using the Jaybird JFM3, its not bad but the mic is not that good when it comes to calls.

using lg hbm-900 for voice calls and nokia for music. tried sennheiser and sony in-ear headsets but u cant listen music without closed earphones

My previous headset was the Sony Ericsson HBH-IS800
Compared to the Sonys:
- They seem to fit better in my ear (they come with 3 different bud sizes)
- The earbuds are slightly larger and so I guess they do stick out a little more, though I haven't noticed any issue with it
- An extra 2 hours of call/music time
- Have FF/RW controls as well as volume adjust (The Sony's only have Play/Pause/Answer)
- I haven't had any issues with people hearing me or me hearing other people when using them, but I've yet to test them somewhere really noisy
- They come in Red (if that's your thing)

Thanks for the comparison. How's the sound quality compare to the Sony?
I was thinking about this but didnt bother getting one once i saw the Note, not as big as the press would have u believe!
I was considering the NOKIA J - i has a small clipable dock so i wouldnt have to have it in the ear all the time...
3 months standby time
Auto answer when taken out of dock
Few more feature i cant remember now, worth having a look at.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using XDA App
Besides being a gadget phone nut I am also a sick buyer of headsets. I have been in search of the perfect headset forever ..
There is one by Sony that I love the way it fits. They don't make it any more and every now and then I find one on eBay ..
I have the Sennheiser bluetooth headset. If you look hard you can find one new on eBay most of the time for about $60 .. I like that one a lot because I have small ear holes and those go on the outside of your ear ..
I also have 2 Bang & Olafsen bluetooth headsets .. One left ear which I am keeping and the other right ear which I am gonna sell when I find it .. I also have the wired Bang & Olafsen head set. I read that it has a teeny tiny microphone somewhere .. I don't know if that is my model .. use it for listening to music ..
I actually have a box of discarded bluetooth headsets. I should put them all together in one lot and sell them. Maybe I will do that today. Don't know if I can find all the chargers though .. They are all discarded because I find them uncomfortable to wear.
For music or movies I use the Sennheiser M400s which have a nice balanced sound and good battery life. For calls, it's hard to go past the Plantronics Discovery 975 - small and sleek, super comfortable to wear, and really good battery life (especially with the included charging case).......
I can't wear anything that doesn't go around the ear. And if it goes in the ear, ugh. After a half hour I have to take it out because it gets painful. Maybe if I had bigger ears .. or Man Ears .. it wouldn't be so bad. They are doing hearing aid implants now, maybe they could do a little bluetooth implant ??

Any chance you can take a picture with the headset on? I want to see how it looks on and have an idea on how much it sticks out. I cannot find a pic or review anywhere for this headset.
I got these 2 days ago from Amazon:
amazon.de/Philips-SHB9001-00-Bluetooth-Headset/dp/B00424O4RU/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1320610417&sr=8-1[/url]
the quality while talking is not the best but its enough for me.
Despite the positive comments about the quality of just listening to music, i can hear some "scratches" when a song gets "heavier". This is my first BT Headset so maybe its normal for BT headsets, or i just overlooked a setting i have to change in the Software.. Hint, anyone?

Do you have a budget in mind? I think we can offer better suggestions if you give us a budget range.
I use Sennheiser IE8 connected to a Sony/Ericsson Bluetooth receiver on the go, and a small digital analog converter/amplifier by NuFore together with the headphones when working.

Hi, thanks for replying. I do not have a budget in mind, my usual principle is to pay what's worth its salt.
So far, everyone's recommended bluetooth wireless headsets, I'm not a big fan of charging stuff, having need to recharge my phone nightly already. But if there are no better wired devices out there, I might as well get Bluetooth because call quality is more important to me than music quality which my Marshall Minor does just fine.
I'm looking for a $100 max wired in-hear headset with mike and very complete remote too. It seems Android is not very friendly with those at all, so I'm thinking I'll have to go Bluetooth. What I found:
- http://www.etymotic.com/ephp/mc2.html, if their software works on Note (untested)
- a-JAYS One+, coming in Dec.: http://www.jays.se/products/earphones/a-jays-one-plus.html (uses software too)
- Sennheiser just confirmed they have nothing wired.
- Klipsch: Image S4A http://www.klipsch.com/image-S4A-headphones being adapted for S2, Note = S2 ?
- Samsung: told me to go f... (...ind a solution by) myself
Soft: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.kober.headset , and others, look for "headset control". This one has a trial version, yeahhhh ^^
EDIT: I'm putting everything worthwhile I find in this post, so as not to spread it all over the place.

I am very happy with my Bang and Olefsen wired headset ..
hi all... just like to pop a quick question:
does the Gnote able to accept the standard wired headphones w/mic from other brands for example: UE? i am on galaxy S and i have been searching for headphone w/mic to replace the original ones from samsung but as usual when i connect other brands of headphone w/mic to my S; all i can hear is the music.. whenever i am making calls the headphone fails me...
