Small bluetooth earpiece? - General Accessories

Work has recently banned heaphones (Health and safety) so I am after a small bluetooth earpiece, the smaller and more discreet the better.
This Motorola is the best I have come across.
I have a bluetooth earpiece at the moment but for what ever reason it only works with calls, it can't stream music, are they all like this?

Just check that it has A2DP support, for your music needs!

Looks pretty cool gotta have one of these. All iv'e seen/had have showed pretty bad... Dunno why

Jabra stone 2 is awsome

thanks a lot

You could also grow your hair out long enough to cover your ears

Man u realy should check out some cheep china bt headsets. Motorola cant dream of making some thing which is more small. And at low price. A2dp may not be present. But u can make calls. Here in india we have those. About 200 inr. Ie less than 5$!!!

About the same as my skull candy low riders ( not as much base) but not close to my boss ones but for general use they are good enough. My ears are happy with them.

Its terrible. I hate my S-10 HD's. They sound terrible with terrible bass and they are very uncomfortable. The S-9 HD's were much much better imo. The sound quality was better and it was slightly more comfortable. They both take a lot of getting used to. Idk why Motorola would make a product that is worse than the one before it.
Are the freedom jaybird headphones good? I think I will buy that next time. Motorola is falling off man. I hope Google helps them see the light.
Jaybird Freedom
Check out Jaybird Freedom's. Best headphones all around that I've owned. Includes a mic too.

They work just fine with the Nexus. The main reason I picked these up was the sweat-proof guaranty. I read some reviews for other headsets saying that they would crap out after a couple of uses while doing any type of exercise. The two issue I see with these is the left ear sounds a little louder than the right, the other is that when the battery is low, you get a warning every 30 seconds. The warning doesn't come untill the battery is really about to die.

My opinion is to purchase this:
Jabra Clipper
I purchased a couple of bluetooth headsets but they never really compared to the options you get with regular headsets. This options, you don't have to choose. I use it while running/working out and provide a great compromise.
If you're a runner or sweat heavily then I would recommend against any bluetooth headphones that go into your ear. I have had 3 S9's go out on me and I heard the issue is not fixed in the S10's either. I had looked for other options but most of what I read lead down the same road. If you sweat a lot then these BT headphones will short out.
The best option for me was either the jabra clipper or the sony ericcson mw600. I went with the Mw600 which allows me to use my own headphones and obviously even if i sweat on those it won't short out the bluetooth device since it's no where near my ears.

Headphones for One are unbranded beats

The headphones on this phone are really good.I have over the ear studio beats and these ear buds produce more base and are very clear Htc bought half of Beats so what technology u think they will use?Very surprised nobody is talking about the quality of the headphones I tried my gf new iphone 5 headphones and these destroy them it was funny watching her face.I Think the ear buds are unbranded Beats

Just a shame about the lack of buttons on the stock headphones.
I found that they have too much bass. Used them for 5 minutes and gave them away. Nice if you listen to hip hop and dubstep but not metal. Definitely not for metal.

Not possible
The buds are indeed suprisingly capable.
I was going to mention the earphones on here. I can't think of any that better them! clearly HTC are going all out to get this phone right.
Hmm gonna have to give them a try later and compare them to my actual beats.
Thanks

Yes the supplied ones are pretty good. Much bass but thats ok for my music. I have better ones at home, but now i´ve an alternative with a button :good:
You can also buy the htc 240 set which is similar but they have the track skip, volume change buttons also. These and the urbeats are the only ones that can do this from a wired pair with this phone as far as my research has led me to believe.

I have been really surprised with the headphones! Definately makes up for not including headphones in the One X.
Actually almost every headphone sounds nice when plugged into the One.

That of course is a possibility. I got mine in Taiwan at the HTC store and the ones that came in the box are unbranded beats. They sound excellent, not as good as my Bose but very good for being included for free.
I have Klipsch head phones and I compared them to the head phones that came with the One. The klipsch have much clearer crisper sound and comparable bass. Just my .02. But the klipsch were not free with the purchase of a phone. I did not find the stock headphones to have good sound.

Nope look the same to me as my international one x. They are good for included headphones better than most. Now if we are judging them based on headphones well we know how good Beats headphones sound which is to say if they sounded as good as they look they would be decent headphones but every review will tell you they are eye candy not ear candy

Hi all,
I just would like some advice. The original headset that came with the phone is good but doesn't last long. Anyone has another good headset that works with s3 that has the same functions of the original.

Maybe a stereo bluetooth earbuds meet your need, but the music time is also 3-4 hours.
All the mini bluetooth headset for phone working time is 3 hours or less. :angel::angel:

Bluetooth ones will more than likely have all controls (volume and answer buttons) working. I strongly recommend the Apple Earpods though if you care about the microphone. I have tried many highly praised wired/BT headsets and none of them have usable mics on the N5.
http://www.amazon.co.uk/CredDeal-X-Series-Foldable-Bluetooth-Headphones/dp/B00CQ2W20Q
Currently using these Bluetooth 4.0 Headphones with volume adjust buttons, mic, and a power button. Relatively simple. One piece of wire that connects the two pair of headphones and a small battery in the two earbuds that can play about 4-5 hours of music streaming over Bluetooth. I usually work out with these, so I had to get a pair of Bluetooth headphones that are light! So I can testify to their quality! Sound is solid as well, the sound is fairly close to my Klipsch S4 (II) earbuds. Headphones? Meh, I never buy bluetooth for those haha.
I couldn't find the US link to them, but I figured this should be a good lead. :victory:

These headphones are better sound quality and cheaper. They also come with 3 button controls. This is a way better buy then spending on 60 monsters. I'm an audiophile and use this for the gym and to beat up. My regular studio headphones are vmoda m100s if that helps you identify my music quality.

Yeah man I was surprised by them when I got them. I found them on eBay and I tuned them in viper4android and I was blown away. Really good headphones for beaters.

Yeah, I'm not an "audiophile" (I really, REALLY hate that word) but I am an audio enthusiast (been in the audio industry for 15+ years), and I gotta recommend staying away from anything Monster or Beats branded. You are paying 10% for the headphone, 90% for the brand, and they generally sound like crap.
You want good buds for a good price, go with Yuin. IEMs- Shure or Westone. Cans- Sony, Beyerdynamic, higher end Sennheiser (their low end is crap), Grado, some AKG, HiFiMan, certain V-Modas. Portable supra aurals- Ultrasone has some good ones and the Koss Porta Pro's are pretty much unparalleled for their price and I'm pretty sure that they have ones with mics and controls now.
Bottom line, if they are mainstream and all your friends say to buy them, don't. The best values can be found in brands that don't spend millions on advertising.

Armband, headphones, battery

Hey guys, could you tell some good phones with micro that works with s3, a good battery (better than the original), and a good armband to use when I ride a bike or I'm running. Less price possible

I use the Jabra Sport+ bluetooth headset when running. Not as good a sound quality as some wired headphones but I don't care about that when running. It actually has a great mic, even in windy situations the calling party can hear and understand you.
I'm using the stock battery and using Endomondo with a bluetooth HRM and the Jabra Sport+ headset I can ride my bike up to 4 hours before the battery is empty. No music on while riding my bike though, only listening to the audio coach from Endomondo.
When running I have the phone in a Belkin armband and I have another nice one that is unbranded.
Thanks for reply
