Anyone else having issues with the sound quality (incoming) with the GS2 and Plantronics 975 bluetooth headset? People can hear me, but it sounds garbled when I am listening to them.
Do the 975's get firmware upgrades?

I've owned this BT earpiece with other HTC devices. Haven't had any problems with it. I also have used a 925 discovery with my EVO. Worked fine.
I was upgraded to 975 discovery by Best Buy. I always hear a buzzing noise in the background. Sometimes the audio quality gets scratchy or distorted. One time while using it, it sounded like I was on a horrible voip connection and i could hear only ever other word. I put it on speaker phone and the quality was perfect. I also own a Motorola S9-HD. I don't have any problems with it.
Does anyone else own this headset? I'm curious.... Are you having simliar issues?
I have this head set
make sure WiFi is OFF is you are using BT. I get what I think you are describing only when WiFi is on.
I have the same headset. I have the same symptoms when my body is in between the headset and phone. If there's a line of sight between them, the audio is perfect... I'm on my second 975 (lost the first one), and it still does it. I'm not sure if my phones bluetooth is messed up or the headset.
I have had this headset for a long time. I just switched to the EVO from the Iphone, and the 975 worked flawlessly on the Iphone. It SUCKS with the EVO so far. It will not stay paired. I can press the button to answer, but the no audio on the phone or BT. It will redial, but the audio comes out of the phone! Is there a better BT to use with the EVO?
Hi. Few weeks ago i bought the Motorola S305 and i never get the Stereo or "high quality" sound. My phone is Unrooted. I havent tried on another phone to check if the headphones are ok, but there are a lot of bad comments about the bluetooth on the Evo so i believe that maybe its the phone.

I get the same buzz too. It is like a real low hum. Only when I talk to certain people though.

Same Bluetooth same issue. When I don't hear the buzz I sometimes think the call has dropped. Had the same noise with my palm pre. Must be the Bluetooth.

I have a Plantronics Discovery 975 Bluetooth Headset. I loved it on my Touch Pro 2 and had no issues.
But, since I have had my Evo, I can't use it much because everyone I talk to says I am too loud or just sound like static or crackling noise. Resetting BT or having them call back helps a little bit they say but not much. Then, it returns.
Is there anything I can do, should I buy a different headset, is there a concensus in the Evo community on what the best headset is for this phone for someone who likes high end headsets? Could it be my particular headset just got a weird defect? Or, is it just that the headset on the Evo is just not good despite it's other really cool features?
Anyone with good headset experiences with the Evo, please also post what headset you are using.
I get that nothing is perfect but I bought the 975 for the Touch Pro2 and loved it. And I just want similar results on the Evo with this headset or another headset IF such results can be had. If there's no headset that will work as well, I sadly may have to give up .3 inches of my screen and try the Samsung Epic. That's a great phone but I kinda want ever square inch of my evo screen.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Anybody ?
No answers for you. Re-pair the phone to the headset? Mine works great, not one person has ever had a complaint with me on mine and the evo.
Dont mean to revive this thread, but just wanted to say that I have the same issue with my two Evo's. Me and my GF have Evo's. When we talk with the Plantronics 975, the sound is horrible. Same headset on another phone is perfect. It is definately the Evo.
Odd part is it sounds like it is the noise cancling causing the issue. It she is quiet and a blert something out, i hear a slight eco from her side and then the noise starts. A few seconds later it quiets down and stops. Its like any noise (talking) that gets into the loops runs for a while before it cycles out. Every strange and very annoying.
i have the same issue but with nexus one... so the evo itself is probably not the cause...
any ideas about it? couldn't find a solution anywhere else....
don't buy this headset. buy a soundid headset. IT IS SUCH A BETTER ONE! however, do to stack issues that are built into our phones and software/hardware issues with the headset, it has all the issues you're claiming.
I have a plantronics backbeat 903+ they work perfectly on Sense Roms. AOSP, CM ROMs, you might as well tie two dog turds to a string and listen. Just my experience.
Are there any sports bluetooth headphones working with S Voice? Im thinking of buying one of the following:
Plantronics Backbeat 903+
Jabra Sport
Plantronics Backbeat GO
Jaybird Freedom
Do you have any experience with them? Basically im looking for wireless headphones for biking with possibility to make calls with working time 4+ hours.

I have the Jaybird freedom, and it works well with S Voice. I also use it for biking. You can go wrong with these headphones!
I just bought the 903+ and if you're still thinking about them, STOP! THEY ARE BIGGEST WASTE OF TIME AND MONEY! Yes the work with voice commands but they sound terrible! Trust me on thing i'm a sound engineer... They suck [email protected]
I am not sure if this is specific to the HTC One or Android Handsets in general.
I purchased a Plantronics Voyager Legend, which is considered a pretty good handset.
When using Skype or Youtube the audio quality is good and up to what I expect.
However when doing cell calls the quality is atrocious. There is static and a lot of cracking and hissing. You can hear the call but the quality is not there. Is this an issue with Plantronics or am I really expecting too much from bluetooth.
Bluetooth through my car stereo sounds fine.

Maybe this is a plantronics issue
So I bought a Nokia bluetooth headset, and it worked fine indoors,, but outside with the slightest breeze and the headset could not produce noise and the caller could not hear me. Sent it back.
Bought a Jabra headset, works fine indoors, but if i call a mobile when outside, i get 2 mins max of a call, then the caller cant hear me, but i can call hear them. If i call a landline outside its a bit better but still distorted.
I used the Jabra with a cheap Samsung and i do not have any problems indoors or outside.
Am on the verge of buying a Plantronics headset but i'm thinking the problem maybe with my phone? But both headsets worked fine indoors, only problems are outside, even with no wind.
I have a good reception when outdoors.
Any ideas?
Tested the Jabra headset on an old Samsung and it works in all conditions flawlessly?
