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.

Doesnt have a button but it has a mic

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?

tigabert
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).
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

My vote = Sony-Ericcson HBH-DS970 for best bluetooth stereo headset

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.

i have
i like
I've tried the following 3.5 mm stereo headsets on my Galaxy S II but I still can't find one that fits my needs.
1. The in-ear Samsung headset that came with the handset - I don't like in-ear headsets for making calls
2. Samsung stereo headset (AAEP404) - The receivers complained of an annoying echo on calls
3. HTC RC RE160 - Volume was too low on calls so I couldn't hear the caller
Has anyone found a good headset that works with the Samsung Galaxy S II that isn't in-ear or Bluetooth and has good call quality and volume? The in-ear Samsung headset almost meets the requirements, as it has enough volume when on calls and there's no echo on the receiver's end, but I can't stand in-ear headsets while on a call.
If anyone has any ideas or suggestions I'd really appreciate it.
I tested the Blackberry mono 3.5mm headset and it worked well regarding the call management button and the audio levels.
I haven't tested the BB stereo headset, but I suppose it should work equally well.
Cheers for the reply. I'll have to look out for the Blackberry stereo headset so.
Yup. I tried the Tt esports Isurus and works like a charm.
Working with FM ?
Does one knows if one of them is working with radio app ?
coz this apps requires antenna found in the wire to the ears (checked on third contact line on jack).
thx in advance
Beats by Dre with control talk seem to work well with the SGSII I was actually shocked that it did.

Have you tried adjusting the volume using the Samsungs "secret" codes?
A tutorial for that can be found in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=741012

Both the Samsung and HTC stereo headsets I've linked to in my original post work perfectly fine with the default radio app on the Samsung Galaxy S II.
Okay, so I've bought an iPhone headset and a Blackberry stereo headset on eBay so I'll update the thread with my results. I've read, and heard, nothing but good things about the iPhone headset so here's hoping it's as great as people are making out. themissionimpossible, I certainly hope your theory is right that the Blackberry stereo headset will work as well as the mono one you tried...!
Blackberry mono headset works flawlessly as an antenna for the GS2 radio app.
The Sennheiser MM30i smart remote with mic works so far and sound quality is very good
Klipsch X10i - works perfectly, except the volume controls on the remote don't work, sound is AMAZING, FM works beautifully, call quality is great, though the mic is placed at the "V" and is therefore a bit low compared to others. Headset is extremely expensive.
Sennheiser MM70 with mic works perfectly. sound is good, FM works, same deal with the mic remote - middle button works for answer, drop, pause and skip, but volume buttons don't work. Not very expensive, but not giveaways either.
Shure headset with the Shure mic remote - mic remote works perfectly for pause, skip and cal answer/drop, but the mic is horribly placed unless you use the clip. It's also a heavy brute. They have their newer modular system that has the mic inline on the cord that plugs from the buds to the player directly - that might work better. Sound is based on whichever Shure bud set you run. Expensive to extremely expensive.
All of the above sets are loud enough to watch non-DRC'd movies on public transportation.
iPhone headset - bllleeeaaaaargh. Simply atrocious sound quality and volume levels.
I usually listen to the music over my Note...
Could anyone advise a good sound quality wired headset with full compatible microphone & its control with Galaxy Note?
initially wanted to get Klipsch S4A for Android but read somewhere that it might have compatible issue with some Samsung Android phone. So do beware if you are getting this.
these sound awsome for music
http://www.etymotic.com/ephp/hf2.html
and can be got for as little as £65
Thanks friends for you all recommended...
However, I have see many wired headset in iPhone shop with vary price level & quality.... if they compatible with iPhone, can it also compatible with Note? (I see they using the same connector type)
You have to choose carefully
Tee3D - No! Not all headphones that work on iPhone will work with the Note. I have a pair of iLuv cheap headphones for the iPhone and they work fine with it. The headphone has a mic and phone/music controls that work fine on an iPhone, but not all of the controls work on my Note. You have to check carefully.
I just bought Klipsch promedia.
http://www.klipsch.com/promedia-in-ear
Sound quality is very good,they are comfortable and music control works well.
1 click for play/pause, 2 clicks for next track.
You can also install from market klipsch control which allows you to control the volume too.
I paid klipsch promedia 45€..very very good for that price
If you are not looking for high-end audio quality (which I suppose you can't really get with the Note, given the rather less-than-good audio circuitry implementation), I would suggest to give the bundled headphones a try. I've been using them from the start and I find them quite decent.
Thanks all friends for advises & comments

There better than awesome and the mic is the best I've used as well.
the Op asked for a wired headset with the full control (mic, vol, stop, play,next track) of the original headset - as far as I have researchrf none of those recommended do that without tricks or using software solutions. can anyone recommend a headset they are using that are good and have the mic and all controls for the note? I just lost my original samsung note headset. Or does anyone know a place that has a discounted or reasonable price on the the samsung original headset - I can't find them when I google for it.
Skull candy 50/50 got it from apple store although fwd/rewind/nxt/previous track buttons not working ' i am happy '.
Sound quality Its awesome.
Also mic and play/pause button is functional.

AKG 450s sound absolutely amazing with music. They are a set of portable headphones that are on offer at the moment for £40 GBP on Amazon, which is £60 off from the £100 price-tag (itself a cut from a £150 price tag). They fold up and you can buy an accessory set with volume control and a microphone for use on mobiles. These things knock the socks off of Beats!
Try this android with volume control works

I am looking for a bluetooth headset with loudness. I need wireless headset but with good sound. Please suggest me the best bluetooth heaset for music. I require loud music level and not soft music. I know that bluetooth headset does not have loud volume but if anyone can suggest me loudest of all available in the market it would be helpful. My main purpose is music and not calls. Wired headphones are very difficult to listen to music. I had few options
1: Sony SBH 80
2. LG Tone HBS 750 or 800
3. Plantronics Back beat
4 Motorola S11
Any headset would do for me as far as it has loudness. I have checked reviews for all but no where they mention loudness of the device
As far as my experience goes and giving that probably there's no mention of sensibility in the specs, I would go for IEM's. The speaker is closer to the eardrum and there's also the added benefit of phonic insulation.
It seems no one is ready to suggest me I was expecting reply frm ppl using from any of above models mentioned.
I reviewed in this forum a lot of wireless bluetooth headsets (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2192333), including HBS-730, HBS-800, BlueBudsX, BackBeat 2, Sync by 50, ROX, and Pump HD. They all sounded equally loud. With wireless connection you have two levels of volume control, using volume on BT headset (about 7-8 clicks) and volume on your phone. Sometime people forget to adjust volume on their phone. Also, making it very loud distorts the sound, bt headsets have their limitations.
Among the one I tested, BlueBudsX, BackBeat2, and ROX all have good sound. I prefer ROX. HBS-800 is also great, but it's more conservative looking, not for extreme activities.

Kindly suggest me one brand that I can purchase straight away. It is very difficult to check reviews and ten go buy one. I want a direct answer to take one. I want to know about HBS 800 ....I heard that the loudness is reduced in 800 compared to 730/750 is it true or it is equally loud as the previous models ?

Equally loud, and in HBS-800 they updated drivers to use premium one from JBL. Much better sound. HBS-800 is all around great bluetooth headset since it sits around your neck, has extra long battery life, all dedicated controls, good phone call quality, and with a right selection of eartips the sound quality is pretty good. You can also do some running around with it, just no crazy jumping For sports and exercising, I like ROX better, but sounds like you better off with HBS-800.
I have and enjoy a Philips SHB4000/28. They are on-the-ear, light, run long enough, comfortable, and sound fine. I mostly use for podcasts, but they are fine with casual music listening. If you like on-the-ear (I don't like in-ear), then I recommend them for their price.
anyone know of any of these headsets that has no earphones included, meaning you can use your own?
I've seen plenty but they all seem to use the older bluetooth standards that had very low quality.
I reviewed one from Antec (check my sig with review links), but it was an old BT standard and sound quality even with my best headphones was crappy So far, I haven't found any bt receivers without headphones with a high quality sound. Often, companies fine tune headphones and receiver and use either their own proprietary DSP decoding or aptX with BT4.0 - that's why the best wireless sound quality available only from a "bundle" of receiver and headphones, for now...
I have the hbs 750..bad bass ...also had 700 and 730 both lost volume over time
