High End "over the head" headphone

Hi, I am looking for a good headphone to use with my HTC Touch Pro and my laptop. I will use it together with rc e100 or w100.
Very good sounds
Possible to fold to fit in a big pocket.
Over the head
Nothing or not much leaking of sounds
Possible to use in light sports like heavy walking
Good for music like classics, string instrument and Rock. Ofcource a lot of others to...
Good sound when making calls both for me and the second part
Today I user a Porta Pro headphone but I would use to get better sounds and less leaking.
I have looked (on the Net) at Sennheiser PXC300. I think the PXC350 or PXC450 would be to big?
Does anyone have suggestions for me?
I'm sorry for bad english...

Plantronics 590
Everything you asked for plus stereo bluetooth so you can have great music and crystal clear conversations. I would suggest the A package vs the E package as more comes with it.
If you don't know who Plantronics are - they are the mother company of Altec Lansing. They know sound.

They are unfortunately not manufacturing any more. I have lissened to them. I think that is the best you can get from bluebooth. I have looked for simulare BT headset but can't find any. Therefor I think I have to get a wired one.

I've got an extra pair (unopened) on deck I can sell you, but you would have to pay the shipping. Also Mennesysis wrote a great piece on Bluetooth A2DP headsets here on XDA. Search it and it should pop up.

decided to flash.... nice looking rom.
Cannot send MMS!!! regular text is find, but pics do not work... wifi or 3g. I think it is incompatibility with popcorn v4 based and v6 based roms.
Also the wifi toggle doesnt work correctly, it always stays highlighted.

First impressions!!!

OMG, my iphone is seriously going in the bin, this is a different breed of phone in every way, I have just done a 10 min video of A2DP working perfect in my car, the iphone only has partial A2DP so you can't change tracks, pause or adjust volume on the stereo itself this to me was a killer
The Desire just pairs and go's, it's smooth with multiple applications open and scrolling is exactly the same as the iphone, I love the bookmarks page so I can see the website i am visiting like suggested sites in IE8, the music player is as good as my Iphone and my iphone holder in the car even fits the desire nicely so I can watch woops i mean my passengers can watch videos while driving or parked up.
So far i have had little exposure but the experience is very iphoney and this is a good thing as the iphone is smooth as silk and so is this, I will post the video up here in 5 mins, its 600mb so need to compress it and whack it on youtube
Happy days!

Hey there,
Looking forward to the video! Just wanted to say I've been my Desire for a few hours now and it has been growing on me. I think I have it customized the way I like but that will probably change by tomorrow. I'm still getting used to the keyboard but it is very responsive, what really wins it for me is the web performance especially on WiFi.
I'm typing this right now on the desire and it just seems to scream through everything. Will post more impressions soon.

Yeah screams through everything is an understatement, I only had an iphone 3g but loading up all the pictures on this site used to take approx1 min, now it's instant.
I find the keyboard slightly smaller than the iphones so the keys are narrower, think my fingers are a bit too chubby and need to get used to a new keyboard haha..

HEy lucky guys, videos and pics are welcome here !
Cause in France (and other Eur countries) we'll have to wait for 1 week at least to touch our Desire.
So Enjoy but ... think about us and show us your new toy
Many Thanks from France !

Yes, so my whole music collection is streamed over bluetooth to the stereo, this is called A2DP and something the iphone could not do properly, even my old N95 was fine but you cannot change tracks on the unit itself when using the iphone.

No you need a car stereo with Bluetooth connectivity, they are fairly cheap £150 for the Blaupunkt one in my Audi

Thanks for this 1st video Roony. Is this MJ clip a native DivX or a re-encoded one ? It seems very flawless ...
(btw the 2nd video is "off" on youtube)

btw does this bluetooth feature relate to the phone only or the car also? because i have built-in bluetooth kit on my kompressor, will it work?

+1 for the MJ video
Quick question...were you streaming off of WiFi?

To answer your questions, some new cars have the ability to A2DP stream bluetooth music, I am not sure about specifics, the MJ video was a youtube vid streamed over wifi I was parked on my drive so still have perfect wifi signal there
The music is the default tunes that come on the phone, they give you 7 or 8

Thanks. Man I can't wait to get mine

I am also concerned about bluetooth functionality with my built in set in the car.
I have a Hero now, and I can only make calls, no music streaming on stock 1.5 nor the legend 2.1 ROM. But I was able to stream music through my laptop and it was flawless.
On the other hand, when I had the Nokia e71 I was able to hear the phone's ringtone through the car speakers - but never tried streaming then. But with the Hero (and previously Tytn II) I only hear the annoying default car ring tone, so is this related to the ability to stream?
on HTC website they have the following specifications for bluetooth in the Desire:
Bluetooth® 2.1 with Enhanced Data Rate
A2DP for wireless stereo headsets
FTP and OPP (object push) for file transfer
Other supported profiles: AVRCP, GAP, GOEP, HFP, HSP, PBAP, SPP, Service Discovery Application Profile
while the e71 has this:
Bluetooth profiles: DUN, OPP, FTP, HFP, GOEP, HSP, BIP, RSAP, GAVDP, AVRCP, A2DP
anyone familiar with these bluetooth profiles and can figure it out?

To the OP - the youtube video looks great, can you let me know where you got the car holder and its model name?
Regarding bluetooth, my car has only a basic factory installed car stereo but am wondering if a A2DP bluetooth interface like the one here would enable me to achieve the same results without me having to buy a new stereo. Is this feasible or is there a cheaper alternative?

117 quid for that adapter is a bit steep a decent stereo is about 150 but it depends what your own one is like, I will post up
the type of holder I got in a sec once I find it, I got.it off eBay

headphones with fm radio ???

The FM radio has to be built into the software on the phone. It is true that the headphones can work as an antennae, but they are still dependent on the software being there on the phone. As of now, no one has been able to successfully get a working FM radio on the Vibrant.

Sorry for my bad english i mean to say i want headphone in which fm radio is inbuilt not in samsung vibrant phone ...

you can use the sony mw600's, which are bluetooth. i've tried it once with the vibrant but purchased bluetooth headphones.
anyone know if i can use the mw600's, my sony bluetooth headphones, AND vibrant? kind of would defeat the purpose to have so many things in hand but I wouldnt mind missing to fm radio stations and when I first saw that the vibrant was gonna have an fm radio, like the hd2, etc...i was sold. not a dealbreaker that it didnt come with it though.

Playing FM without Headset..any mod?

Dear Friends,
I searched a lot for mod playing FM Radio without Headset.
Please if you know the solution reply.
Thanks for making such a nice forum..

lol.. if they make a mod to include antenna in ur phone itself you'll be able to use it.. till then plug in your headphones as they work as an antenna
simple answer is that u can only dream of playing it without headphones
Sent from my One V

Cut the Jack connector from broken headphones, just 4 cm cable and you have mini antenna.
Sorry for my English

Do this
As described by R3nn3K do this ...(IMAGE)
SORRY for the low image quality

ok I LOL'd @ the above.
Anyways, buy wired speakers for your phone. They'll double as the antenna and an audio output (something you'll be missing with the above) and you won't need to wear headphones.
Personally, I use the Altec T515s (had them forever) and they work great. Their best function is bluetooth functionality, but they support "Line-In" and come with a cable to plug your phone directly into the speakers (giving you the needed headset functionality to make the FM radio work).

Wow, grats on obtaining the power of resurrection, cause you sure resurrected this dead thread.
And while TuneIn Radio (the correct name of the app you're trying to mention) does work (so long as you don't mind the 30-45 second delay behind the actual station) the OP did ask about using the pre-installed FM Radio app (which has no delay or extra ads) w/o needing headphones.

Which was dumb in itself. Who uses a radio without an antenna?
Anyways, necro posting is sexy!

You can try tunein it has channels from all over the world but you will require wifi,3G etc

Yea but don't you remember those antennas in old phones? Later on they were being placed inside of the phone, nowadays I guess it's so little space in there, they just decided to use headphones as a source.

Yes my first motorola was with antenna for calls.

Spirit FM is the way to go

Guys FM radio without handset mod exists for Moto Defy. It is available on this forum. I have used it and the phone does not have any external antenna. And that also had an option to switch between headset and speaker. Unfortunately we do not have it for HTC One.

galaxy note 2 and bluetooth car stereo

im trying to purchase a car stereo that has bluetooth hands free calling and is able to play music streamed from my galaxy note 2.
the salesman said however, that he cant guarantee any of the stereo units would work correctly with the bluetooth 4.0 that the note 2 uses.
...has anyone had any problems connecting to their car stereo, or can recommend a model that will work with the note 2 ?
thanks in advance.

I have a JVC navigation all in one and it works great with it.
It's a 2011 model.

yup, i have a flip screen with bluetooth and it connects perfectly, i have a full system btw, woofer, speekers amp the lot.

thanks guys .. any links for those models if possible?

If you want something literally cheap as chips, try one of these from Halfords.
I know it won't appeal to an audiophile, but if you're the sort of person who's generally happy with the manufacturer supplied head units, one of these would be a more than adequate replacement, and works fine with the Note II.
Regards,
Dave

bluetooth 4.0 is backward compatibility with all the older versions. So it works !!!!!!!!!!! No problem watsoever. The car salesman should get his facts straight or quit the job

Kenwood has problems
I have a DNX7190HD and the Note 2 will not work with the Pandora app at all through bluetooth. It will play Pandora through the Bluetooth menu option of the head unit but you will not get any song list or album art, but pause and play buttons do work.
Kenwood says the phone is not supported and there is no bluetooth software update coming.
Older Android phones work perfectly.

yes , it was something on those lines that my dealer was saying, and therefor couldnt guarantee any of the other makes would work untill he got some feedback.

As far as audio goes, you should be fine, as m4sta2k stated bt4.0 is backwards compatible. I have a Parrot MKi9000 handsfree installed (old one) and everything works, audio and controls. But, maybe on some radios not all the controls are supported (and also, whichever display functions it may have), as it seems that stuff is not 100% standard across all the bt devices, as opposed to audio profiles.
Best thing would be trying the radio on the store before buying it.

To be honest, I've not really noticed or cared much as I'm usually streaming from Spotify and thus have the phone screen on and can see what's playing there.

i agree with you , it connects everything perfectly.
but instead of a track listing on the headunit screen i just see AD2P ... its no big deal but if im missing a button press or something that shows the track info instead i would prefer to see it.
what does yours show when streaming from bluetooth / note 2 ?

Was in the car today.
Like you, it only shows A2DP on the screen and not the track. Tried with both Spotify and Google Music.
My other three BT speaker devices (2 headsets and some speakers) don't have screens so I can't say if it's the headunit or the phone.
Luckily, I don't care!
