What headset?

What headset are you all using with your HC Touch?
Let us know what audio quality is like for handsfree phone function and listening to music/MP3s. Please also share your experiences in using the included HTC headset (which I think is appalling)

Had it two days - Sony DR-BT10CX Bluetooth stereo/handsfree - great for running and excellent sound quality for both calls and music.
Cheap too!

That looks great.
Unfortunately I have already a great headset... with 3.5mm connector.
Is there any MiniUSB-to-3.5mm-adapter?
Thanks

Yes, but this is without microphone. Just for listening music.

Thanks, but the description says:
Description
Use this adaptor to convert the HTC Touch extUSB socket to support any 3.5mm stereo headphones. The adaptor also has a hangup/answer button for normal voice calls through a stereo headset.
So I think it has a button
Thats great

Jawbone headset is amazing
I have ordered one of these after hearing from many people just how good these are. I got mine from Expansys.co.uk

Man, those things look/sound badass...I might have to pick one of those up - I don't really have a quiet car, and I LOVE driving with the windows down! Hefty price tag on eBay though - pay to play though, right?

If you are looking at the DR-BT10CX, I suggest you get the DR-BT20NX instead because it got a remote for music - same earbuds and receiver essentially.

The HTC headset works fine for calling and music. For use in the car I have a jabra BT5020 and quality is good, auto-pair ofcourse.

I'm thinking of DIY-ing the usb to 3.5mm audio jack, does anyone have any idea how the usb connectors corresponed to the audio outputs? thanks!

Been shopping around now, since I saw that Jawbone...but I'm wondering...
Is there a Stereo Bluetooth headset with noise-canceling technology out there that anyone knows of???
I've been searching, but to no avail.

Motorola S9 for Stereo and Plantronics 665 for phone
If I am not listening to music I use the Plantronics 665. If I want to listen to music and take calls I use the Motorola S9 stereo BT headphones. The S9 is amazing for quality and fit. Don't let the strange (to some people) design fool you. These are high quality headphones. I have compared these to the Motorola 805s (DJ style) and HT820 (behind the head) and expected the S9 not to sound as good - not true. All 3 Motorola headsets sound great, but for the size the S9 sounds overall just as good if not better. I didn't like the sound of the Jabra BT headphones and the Plantronics over the head (590A) headset sounded good, but not as good as the S9.
By the way I tested a Jawbone and was not impressed at all. Didn't like the fit, sound was only OK and if you need the noise cancellation you have to press a button on the unit for 3 seconds to turn it on - each time. Certainly this is good technology, but for me the Plantronics 665 fits better and over all sounds much better.

I am using a Jabra BT620s for music and calls. Sound quality is very good. Nice fit, good battery performance and fits nicely on my head It has blue leds on both sides that blink when in use, its a bit weird at first but once you get past the oooohs and aaaahs from everyone its great
Has controls aswell (next, previous, volume up/down, accept call/hang up, play/pause) The accept/hangup key has the extra function when not in a call, it activates the voice command program so you can talk commands to your phone

has anyone tried SE HBH-DS970 with this ? comments ?
thx

sorry this is a double post

Anyone tested the HTC Touch E100 or W100 Wired Remote Control?
http://www.expansys.com/htc/p_htc_item.aspx?i=147565
http://www.expansys.com/htc/p_htc_item.aspx?i=150194
-Does it work on the Touch?
-Does it work with HTC Audio Manager?
-Does the FM Radio works?
What's the difference between E100 & W100 model?

I have a Nokia CK-7W buildin carkit in my car (company carkit) which also had bluetooth. Unfortunatly this bluetooth connection gives alot of problems when calling.
I can hear people fine but they hear constant break-ups in the connection. I tried it with a Sony bluetooth headset and everything worked fine.
So dont use the touch combined with a Nokia CK-7W

I'm using the Sony BT20NX and theyre absolutely the best. High quality stereo audio with AVRCP (?) remote profile which works with Windows Media Player, Audio Manager, and TCPMP. The headset is comfortable to wear, blocks outside sound so you can enjoy music at a low volume. The sound is clear and the connection is solid. The buttons are easy to use and I use it for MS Voice Command too, which is awesome. Perfect headset, if you can still find them (I heard theyre discontinued).

Best Bluetooth Stereo Headset

What is the best bluetooth stereo headset?

That's sort of a tough question to answer... I doubt many of us have experience with a large enough variety of headsets to say what's "best." You're going to get a lot of personal opinion.
I have a Motorola H700 and have been very happy with it. With my phone on the charger in my office, I can be anywhere in my house and hear clear as day. The volume goes plenty loud, it charges quickly, and is quite small and comfortable. My callers usually can't tell I'm on a headset. The flip-out-to-answer feature is really nice as well.

DR-BT20NX by sony.
Are definitely not the best

The H700 is very popular. Unfortunately, it isn't stereo.
I'll be sure to stay away from the Sony DR-BT20NX.

Check out the Jabra BT8010. It is a bit big though.

go 4 snookey s9 motorola i think i used correct name
these r those neck band ones go 4 it

I have a Sony-Ericcson HBH-DS970 and really like it - very small in-ear buds with great sound, and remote control unit for music.
Still use my Jawbone mono for when I'm just making calls - but if I'm out for a walk and want to listen to music and be able to take calls, the HBH-DS970 works great.

Bluetooth headset

What would be a good Bluetooth headset that has noise cancellation while on calls and could allow listening to mp3s or Pandora?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

Jawbone Icon, but I hear the battery life isn't quit that good. That's the only thing that's prevented me from getting it. Maybe someone else can confirm or recommend something better.

Got it from mobile city for $40 back in June...

I've considered a jawbone for a while but its kinda heavy on the price... the other one is interesting but I don't know

Been using every model of the Jawbone since they were released. The newest Icon is the best ever. Great sound & battery life.

I have a convertible and have always used a bluetooth headset in my car. I have tried almost every dual mic mono bluetooth and the best overall brand is Plantronics. The Voyager has the highest ratings, but is so big and uncomfortable. The 975 is very good, but pricey. The first Jawbones were not great, but the newest Icon is a great headset. However, for the money, the headset I have found to be the most feature rich and best sounding is the Motorola 790. These are all mono sets.

Jawbones are great headsets. Nice audio quality, but not the best volume.
Blueants are another great set, I have used them for a while now.
If you want a stereo, jaybirds are awesome. Hands down.

I agree, and the blueant also has an app from the market that allows custimizations for the headset, if i was honestly gonna invest more money into a bt headset thats the direction i would go

Just fyi;
the blueant Q1 (the one I have) the app doesn't work for Froyo.
and,
the Blueant Q2 (the one I want to get) doesn't have an app yet. However, the Q2 is still pretty new, so I'm sure the app is en route.
Supposedly the Q2 has some kickass sound. Can't wait, personally

Had the original jawbone for years now and it was a ga=ood headset but uncomfortable fit. Got the blueant z9i but the noise cancellation wasn't as good as the jawbone. Just picked up the jawbone icon and the noise cancellation is unparalleled. People can't even tell I'm in my car with the windows halfway down. Plus it has a much smaller and more comfortable fit than the original. Oh yeah, it handles a2dp also! Definitely the way to go. Only complaint, volume could be louder.

Ya know, that's the problem with so many of these headsets. They just don't have the volume for real world applications.
It's like they only think people use them in a car or in the office. That's why I took back my Jawbone. Great set, but I couldn't hear squat.
Oh yeah, the Blueant Q1 and Q2 support A2DP...

I have the BluAnt Q2 and it works pretty good for playing music and everything else.

I use lg hbs-700

I second that motion, jawbone is the way to go. Battery life is approximately 4 hours more or less(constant streaming). It does support Ad2p and extreamly well. Everybody's talking about the audio not loud enough but if you have a rooted phone you can find dsp manager, (I know cayogen offers it in his roms) and you can find the standalone apk and adjust the volume till its too loud.

Bluetooth headset!

Hello! Asking for a nice bluetooth headset that looks like the motorola s305 that works with the captivate. Any recommendations? Or the s305 is good enough?
I like the s305 because it is cheap and has good reviews in amazon.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App

I have an s305 and it's worked perfectly with my Captivate.

Great! I'll be buying that then. Have u encountered any problems with it yet?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App

I also have a pair of the S305s. They work great with the Captivate. I've had them for about two weeks. During this time I've experienced no problems with them. Call quality is great; people say that I sound very clear. Listening audio quality is decent. I wouldn't recommend them (or any bluetooth headset) if you're an audiophile. I consider the audio quality good enough though for my purposes (running/working out). The built-in controls are convenient and work well with Pandora, Grooveshark, and the default media player. I would definitely recommend them for the price.

Blueant T1 is my fav, one ear headset that streams music. DLs phonebook automatically aswell

I have been using a pair of S305s for almost a year. I love it. Its comfortable, I wear glasses and read people had problems with others on Amazon. I too bought it for the price. Its really easy to set up, I have then linked to my phone, TV, and ps3. The controls are great, they didn't work with my iPhone, but work great in both the android phones I used. They last me all day. I use them in the car ride to and from work, and most of the time at work. They still hold a charge that will almost last me two days if I forget to charge them.
I would definately recommend then and would not hesitate to buy another if I needed one.

Motorola HT820 is a great stereo headset that works great!

if you want more freedom with your headset, you might want to take a look at the sonyericsson mw600. basically, it lets you plug in any pair of earphones/headphones you want. you can also plug in speakers for instant wireless sound system, so the use is quite versatile. i've had mine for quite a while and i've never looked back.

Bluetooth headphones

Now that we can synch music to the Moto 360 and connect a bluetooth device to listen to this music does anyone have any recommendations on bluetooth headsets?
I'm not after anything special, simple a pair to replace my current headphones (in ear Apple ones). For more serious listening I have more serious equipment

You might want to test it out with someone else's Bluetooth speaker first as some earlier review says it drains battery fast
Sent from my SM-N750 using XDA Free mobile app

If you want to go ahead after testing the battery drain.
I fully recommend Motorola S11-HD
I've tried many different brands and these are without questionthe pair with the best sound quality.
Deep bass and clear treble, battery lasts around 4 hours and takes about 45 mins to charge.
Amazing for $60

Thank you for your recommendation.

I will go for Plantronics Edge, so far the best and modern looking headset i've ever used. Both for call and music streaming sound quality ( stay away from jawbone era new no one can hear you through this headset, what a pity for nice piece of art)

If you want cheap/decent then try the Jam Transit earbuds. Only $40 but the sound is pretty decent. But be careful with some headphones/speakers because while my Jams pair and play, my Motorola Sol DECK will pair but refuses to play. No clue why and it's only with the watch.
You'd think since both are Motorola there wouldn't be any problem!
