In my ears it is. It took me a while to decide on what ones to get. These can last around 14hrs or so on a charge and charge by micro usb.
I sometimes use the samsung headphones that came with the gs2 if i don't want the bt module on my shirt. I put it to my pocket. Kinda pointless to some but I keep my phone cordless like this.
I an charge it on a table or something while still using the bt function. And the stock ear buds for the gs2 have a mic and I think the mic is used during a call. Cause people say they can hear me fine when the module is in my pocket or far away from my mouth.

I am using a Plantronics Backbeat. The one I bought came with a dongle that plugs into a non-bluetooth device. So I use the headset with my phone, via bluetooth. And also can hook up to my TV using the dongle. Under $100.
Picked it up last year at Fry's.
-LF

I use a Motorola S305 set. They are cheap in price (under $40 at Amazon) but sound pretty decent. Owned them for almost a year with no problems.

i got a huge list
however of the ones that performed the best
Motorola HT820 the best sound and beat, full feature, easy to use, extra long battery life
as of today i've not found anything that can compare, i've pretty much purchased every sony, jabra, motorola, platonic, all other names i forgot, etc, etc
all the rest were like meh.. 3rd place or worse rating
platonics are the worse
in 2nd place best i'll name Jabra BT8010 super convenient, it kinda sucks in the sound quality for audiophile but gets the job done if you want elegance

What about the LG HBS700: http://www.amazon.com/LG-HBS-700-Wi..._1_1?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1319749852&sr=1-1 inexpensive, comfortable. great sounding.

the wires kinda defeats the purpose
that's something i didn't quite like about the Jabra BT8010
i'm looking forward to try out the new Motorola MOTOACTV https://motoactv.com/ which also have bluetooth stereo addon MOTOROLA SF700

Have you used them?

any bluetooth headset recomendations?
Has anyone used one that works with the voice recognition software on the phone? I used to have an old wm5.0 phone that worked great with ms voice command.
I was looking at the Voyager 975. Not sure if it supports the voice though.

Have the Samsung HM3700. Great for talking and music with earbuds that attach to the headset.

[Q]"Best" Headset for Note?

Hi all,
I'm wondering what headset (Bluetooth/Wired) you use for your Note? I'm using Marshall Minor, but I still find the volume not loud enough.
Would any of you recommend something else? I live in Hong Kong which is fairly noisy, so something that has good volume would be great.
Thanks in advance!
I haven't got a Note yet, but I use the Sony MW600 bluetooth headset with my HD2. And I'd be lost without it - best thing I've bought!
No problems syncing to the device, it has remote control (pause, next/previous), hands free talk as it has built in mic, and comes with in ear buds, which are very good indeed. They block out quite a bit of external noise too, but you can plug in any headset you want to it if you want to go to higher spec headphones. Battery lasts about 10 hours continuous use, and it will re-charge of your Note's charger.
I'm not an audiophile, but I do like music. And it does me fine.
http://www.handtec.co.uk/product.ph...w600---black?gclid=CLftmIS1n6wCFYEZ4QodOzpc_Q
Edit - Just had a look at the Marshalls, and these would offer a tighter fit in the ear then the Marshalls, so would block out more external noise. I wear mine in work, even if i'm not listening to music. I work in the print industry with loud machinery, and they are better than the ear plugs we get given, which reduce external noise by 27 dB. If I'm listening to music in work while my machines are running, and you want to chat - then you ain't gonna get through unless you're in my face!

I use the Novero Rockaway wireless-BT headphones (they also have Mic). Good bass-response for music together with active-DSP for voice calls, all in a neat little package. [http://shop1.novero.com/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=44&language=en]

That's a pretty sweet headset. How much does it stick out after you put it on? Does it get loose easily? I used to own a pair of the Sony is800 headset and it would fall out easily. I was wondering if this is the same.

I'm currently using the Jaybird JFM3, its not bad but the mic is not that good when it comes to calls.

My previous headset was the Sony Ericsson HBH-IS800
Compared to the Sonys:
- They seem to fit better in my ear (they come with 3 different bud sizes)
- The earbuds are slightly larger and so I guess they do stick out a little more, though I haven't noticed any issue with it
- An extra 2 hours of call/music time
- Have FF/RW controls as well as volume adjust (The Sony's only have Play/Pause/Answer)
- I haven't had any issues with people hearing me or me hearing other people when using them, but I've yet to test them somewhere really noisy
- They come in Red (if that's your thing)

Thanks for the comparison. How's the sound quality compare to the Sony?
I was thinking about this but didnt bother getting one once i saw the Note, not as big as the press would have u believe!
I was considering the NOKIA J - i has a small clipable dock so i wouldnt have to have it in the ear all the time...
3 months standby time
Auto answer when taken out of dock
Few more feature i cant remember now, worth having a look at.

Besides being a gadget phone nut I am also a sick buyer of headsets. I have been in search of the perfect headset forever ..
There is one by Sony that I love the way it fits. They don't make it any more and every now and then I find one on eBay ..
I have the Sennheiser bluetooth headset. If you look hard you can find one new on eBay most of the time for about $60 .. I like that one a lot because I have small ear holes and those go on the outside of your ear ..
I also have 2 Bang & Olafsen bluetooth headsets .. One left ear which I am keeping and the other right ear which I am gonna sell when I find it .. I also have the wired Bang & Olafsen head set. I read that it has a teeny tiny microphone somewhere .. I don't know if that is my model .. use it for listening to music ..
I actually have a box of discarded bluetooth headsets. I should put them all together in one lot and sell them. Maybe I will do that today. Don't know if I can find all the chargers though .. They are all discarded because I find them uncomfortable to wear.
For music or movies I use the Sennheiser M400s which have a nice balanced sound and good battery life. For calls, it's hard to go past the Plantronics Discovery 975 - small and sleek, super comfortable to wear, and really good battery life (especially with the included charging case).......
I can't wear anything that doesn't go around the ear. And if it goes in the ear, ugh. After a half hour I have to take it out because it gets painful. Maybe if I had bigger ears .. or Man Ears .. it wouldn't be so bad. They are doing hearing aid implants now, maybe they could do a little bluetooth implant ??

Any chance you can take a picture with the headset on? I want to see how it looks on and have an idea on how much it sticks out. I cannot find a pic or review anywhere for this headset.
I got these 2 days ago from Amazon:
amazon.de/Philips-SHB9001-00-Bluetooth-Headset/dp/B00424O4RU/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1320610417&sr=8-1[/url]
the quality while talking is not the best but its enough for me.
Despite the positive comments about the quality of just listening to music, i can hear some "scratches" when a song gets "heavier". This is my first BT Headset so maybe its normal for BT headsets, or i just overlooked a setting i have to change in the Software.. Hint, anyone?

Do you have a budget in mind? I think we can offer better suggestions if you give us a budget range.
I use Sennheiser IE8 connected to a Sony/Ericsson Bluetooth receiver on the go, and a small digital analog converter/amplifier by NuFore together with the headphones when working.

Hi, thanks for replying. I do not have a budget in mind, my usual principle is to pay what's worth its salt.
So far, everyone's recommended bluetooth wireless headsets, I'm not a big fan of charging stuff, having need to recharge my phone nightly already. But if there are no better wired devices out there, I might as well get Bluetooth because call quality is more important to me than music quality which my Marshall Minor does just fine.
I'm looking for a $100 max wired in-hear headset with mike and very complete remote too. It seems Android is not very friendly with those at all, so I'm thinking I'll have to go Bluetooth. What I found:
- http://www.etymotic.com/ephp/mc2.html, if their software works on Note (untested)
- a-JAYS One+, coming in Dec.: http://www.jays.se/products/earphones/a-jays-one-plus.html (uses software too)
- Sennheiser just confirmed they have nothing wired.
- Klipsch: Image S4A http://www.klipsch.com/image-S4A-headphones being adapted for S2, Note = S2 ?
- Samsung: told me to go f... (...ind a solution by) myself
Soft: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.kober.headset , and others, look for "headset control". This one has a trial version, yeahhhh ^^
EDIT: I'm putting everything worthwhile I find in this post, so as not to spread it all over the place.

I am very happy with my Bang and Olefsen wired headset ..
hi all... just like to pop a quick question:
does the Gnote able to accept the standard wired headphones w/mic from other brands for example: UE? i am on galaxy S and i have been searching for headphone w/mic to replace the original ones from samsung but as usual when i connect other brands of headphone w/mic to my S; all i can hear is the music.. whenever i am making calls the headphone fails me...

Beats By Dre wireless vs other Bluetooth headphones?

Okay well let me start off by saying I own a pair of Beats by Dre Pro and Beats by Dre Studio and yes I know there are better quality out there but that's another topic. Now I need a pair of good wireless headphones so I can leave my phone charging while listening to music. I like my other pairs of Beats but for the $300 price tag, I don't think the bass I like from Beats will be the same, hence I'll be paying more than what I'll actually get. Are there any other good pair of wireless headphones out there?
Also I walked in the apple store today and it obviously showed its made for Apple products but would the controls (stop, previous, forward, etc) still work with out GNex?
Also if you give me a suggestion to a pair of wireless headphones, let me know if the wireless controls would work fine. That's a bit of a deal breaker for me. Thanks guys

I have a pair of Sennheiser MM200's and they're pretty sweet. I got them from amazon.ca (which sucks by the way) for $69 on Boxing day. I've been very happy with them. The controls work fine on my GNex.
Just an idea, I was looking for a wireless system to use when skiing I decided to go with a small bluetooth receiver. That let me use any headphones I wanted and was a much cheaper option. I started a thread about it on avs, people suggested some different options: http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?t=1385468
I went with the first result on amazon searching "bluetooth receiver 3.5mm". It has a button on it that can play/pause/skip/restart (not previous track tho)...

Why buy new wireless headphones? Make your current headphones wireless with a BT receiver.
I bought a couple of these for my car and home.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/BLUETOOTH-A2DP-HEADSET-ADAPTER-AUDIO-RECEIVER-DONGLE-/160708041305
Plug your headphones into this, pair it with your phone. Now all your phone audio goes to the headphones via BT and wireless.
I have it plugged into my line in for my car and it's hidden away.
And at home I have it plugged into the AUX input of my clock radio.
Varies from $15-$20 on eBay.

Best bluetooth headset with in-ear headphones

I have a Samsung Galaxy Nexus with Jeally Bean stock.
I love to listen to podcasts (BeyondPod Pro) and speak on voip applications like Skype, Viber and CSipSimple (a sip client).
Since I really hate wired earphones I would like to buy a wireless bluetooth headsets with in-ear buds. Some examples of these kind of products are:
- Sony Ericsson MW600
- Nokia BH-111
- Samsung HS3000 (no media player keys)
- Jabra Clipper (no media player keys)
These headsets have around the same price where I live (Northern Europe), but for example the last two lack media player buttons so I was more focused on buy the first one, the Sony Ericsson MW600.
My first concern is if all the buttons are going to work with the applications I use, as well as the incorporated microphone in voip applications.
As I already wrote before I use BeyondPod Pro to listen to podcasts and for me the volume buttons and the play/pause buttons would be vital.
At the same time I heard that voip applications like Skype don't recognize the microphone built on the headset. This would be really a problem since I should use the phone to call making the whole headset useless. I also use Viber (another voip application similar to Skype) and CSipSimple. In this case the volume button and the answer/terminate call button should be essential.
Other applications I use are MXPlayer Pro and YouTube for watching videos and Google music to listen to music.
What I want to ask is to know if someone has already these kinds of headsets and can confirm if these buttons and the microphone are all recognized, or if you know other devices which work for sure.
Thanks in advance!
See my response in the other forum.
I have Sony Ericsson MW600 & Motorola S10-HD (Bluetooth Sets). Everything is working but the sound quality in bluetooth can't match with the wired ones. If you are particular about sounds like i do... i recommend this Blaupunkt.

No I am not particular about sound since I like to hear podcast of only people speaking
Could you confirm that the buttons and mic work with the Sony MW600?

I can confirm that the call button works and the mic works fine as well. Running CNA and can even display music titles, but not caller ID however doesn't work, only shows phone numbers
The Sony mw600 hands down. Great distance, great sound quality, great microphone and it rarely skips. Trust me on the distance. Works above and beyond any Bluetooth headset I've owned before. And you can buy your own earphones. The ones that come with it suck.
need more high def music...

The ones it come they could suck but they are good because they have a very short wire, which is good since the headset has to be near the mouth. Could you confirm that the applications I need work with this headset?
Especially I am interested in BeyondPod (there is a free version with some default podcasts) and Skype and Viber,
Really thanks in advance!!!

You Sir must have hearing problems!
MW600 is terrible, bad design, poor quality sound and low volume.
Nokia BH -214 & Nokia BH -500 are better in every way by far!

I have had two bluetooth earbuds the jabra backbeat go. They are great but battery only lasted 4 hours of non stop music then I got the jaybird bluebuds X. And i love then, they last all day(8 hours non stop) and sound better then my ibeats. They are expensive $170 but I found a 20 percent off coupon. The online store offers free shipping and no taxes.

The sound quality is rubbish compared to a Nokia headset (BH-500 or BH-214) but you need to try them to hear how bad the MW600 is, if the MW600 is the only one you ever heard you may not think its bad but belive me, it is, and the design is horrendous, the volume slider is touch sensitive and you cannot do anything like skip track or pause etc without touching it.
And the worst part is when you actually want to turn the volume up or down it doesn't respond. :banghead:
Sony got so many complaints about it they had to make a youtube video explaining how to use it!
Its amazing how many people give it a good review but when you actually find reviews from people that have owned it for more than a day like Amazon user reviews etc you get a better idea of how it is.
I bought it because of the great reviews people were giving it and i was hugely disappointed when i borrowed my friends Nokia to compare and was blown away by the difference in loudness, clarity and quality and its ease of use.
I always bought Sony in the past because i associate it with quality but something went terribly wrong with this.
I have a feeling the screen is to blame and is taking power from the amplifier.
Which ever you choose though, get some decent earphones although the ones that come with the Nokia 214 are pretty good for bundled earphones.

Wired Headset Recommendation

Well I have given up on wireless headsets and am looking for a quality wired headset for my HTC One.
I make quite a few calls and occasionally listen to music.
I am tossing up between a more mp3 audio headset such as the Klipsch Image S4 and the more call orientated Plantronics MX500.
Can anyone recommend a good quality headset with inbuilt microphone?

Out of those two, Id definitely go Klipsch. Ive always liked their products. I do use a Plantronics bluetooth for calls, but ive not used any of their products that Id rave about for music quality (Ive not used the MX500 though).

My gut says similar. The wireless headsets I have used are Plantronics Legend so have some exposure.
I listen to music probably 5-10% of the time though so the ability to play music is secondary.
My impression is that the wired call centre headsets have not been updated in a long time and are outdated.

Oh, i didnt even notice that you had said calls were the primary use. lol The Bluetooth i use is the Voyager Legend as well. I really like it a lot for calls, but it's definitely not for audiophiles

My experiences with the legend were less than pleasant.
I was getting the problem of chronic interference when talking on a cell phone but reasonably clear talking on skype. I could never get to the bottom of it. I am using the headset that came with the phone but looking for something that is a step up in quality.
Anyone got an additional take on this or should I consider giving bluetooth another try?

Look at JLabs
http://www.jlabaudio.com
Usually they have sales and anything with an "m" after the name (example: J4m, J.Fi.m) are "mobile phone" headsets that have the mic and button integrated into the right cable. Right now I am using a J4m (that I got for 5 bucks in a grab bag), it is incredibly rugged.
Have been using Jlabs earbuds for years and they are some of the best sound (until you get into the 100-200 dollar range) I have heard out of an earbud. Also just bought the crasher bluetooth speakers.
Cant go wrong with Bowers & Wilkins, c5 model inline mic works with the one

So I made the mistake of getting another Voyager Legend.
Tried all of the following and had no success.
Ordering a JLabAudio tomorrow
1.) Wifi on and off
2.) Disabling wireless from the router itself
3.) Scanning wifi connections using inSSIDer
4.) Switching handsets to my wife's Samsung
5.) Using another Plantronics Legend
6.) Re paring device several times

Yep, I have the LG Tone+ bluetooth earbuds and they work very well.
I assume you're enquiring about the play/pause/forward/back buttons on the headphones and whether they work with the Play Music program? If so, then yes, they work flawlessly for me at least.
I'm rocking the jabra rox wireless bluetooth
http://www.jabra.com/products/bluetooth/jabra_rox/jabra_rox
Old school Plantronic BackBeat 903's work fine.
Rocking the Jaybird Bluebuds X and it connects within 2 seconds, consistently. I use them with Play Music for my cloud music, and PowerAmp for offline media. Their MSRP is expensive, but I got them brand new for way under MSRP, thanks to SlickDeals

I bought them in the apple store $129.00
Not earbuds, but have been using the Sony DR-BTN200 bluetooth on ear headphones and they work great! It is NFC compatible as well, so it complements marvelously with my Nexus 5.
not earbuds but I use this http://www.amazon.co.uk/Avantree-Saturn-Bluetooth-Transmitter-corporated/dp/B0085HOM4K
With my very old but awesome sounding denon 751's. It makes any ear/headphones bt compatible and in my experience it works great at close range either in the car or while commuting. Battery lasts me about 5 to 6 hours use over 4 days.
Sound quality has not been hit at all my denons sound the same as when plugged in directly to the nexus 5.
Yup I've used both GoGroove BlueVibe EBX and Klipsch Image ONE Bluetooth headphones.

What do you think of the Yurbuds wireless?
Im looking for some bluetooth buds. I have a pair of the wired pro ones and like them for running, but they dont have the best music quality though.

i really like them for working out or running. they stay in place. the only con i have about them is that if you wear them with the cord behind your neck sometimes they can get caught when turning your head certain ways. to avoid that now i just wear them with the cord to the front. doesnt look as cool lol but cant feel anything but the buds in your ears. the sound quality is decent. one big thing i loved about these tho is that when you're wearing them it doesnt feel like you're covering your ears with your hands and can hear everything like footsteps or anything rubbing up against you. i originaly bought some jaybirds and they did exactly that, it was just too annoying for the price i had paid. i could hear my footsteps in my head and the cord rubbing up against my neck, you had to put the music too loud to try and cover the noises but you could always hear it
Great, thanks for all the replies guys.
I got myself a Plantronics BackBeat GO 2 Bluetooth Earbuds and they worked amaizingly with all the buttoms features it has, they are like 8 diferent combos for calls and etc.
I would really recommend this if anyone is looking for great bluetooth earbuds. :highfive:
I'm using the Outdoor Technology Bluetooth Tags with Play Music.
Jaybird Freedom JF3
they work perfectly... even though they're a bit older now and kind of bulky
