[Q] Bluetooth STEREO Headset A2DP

Hi, I am planning to buy a bluetooth stereo headset mainly for listening to music.
Therefore, I want the headset to have A2DP and the headset button's can function properly and sync with the captivate.
My first choice is the motorokr s305... I want to verify first if the buttons (play/pause, volume up/down, and mainly NEXT/PREVIOUS button) are working properly with captivate...
By priority, I want to be able to 'next' and previous my songs, mute/volume button, and then play/pause button...
If there are any other recommendations, please let me know!
TIA

I have been using the sony ericsson hbh-ds205 for a couple years now and it works perfectly with captivate. Has all those features your looking for but the best part is you can plug in your own headphones cause it has 3.5mm jack. Which is great cause i can also hook it up to my home stereo system via rca to 3.5mm and hook it up to my car stereo. Has Mic and the play button is play/pause/and answer. With a clip too, to clip to shirt or wherever. Music quality is excellent too
Battery life is great too 8hrs continuous music playback (i think) and like 15 days of standby. Seems like more though I get two days of music listening at work on one charge.
Check it out. Might be hard to find now. I only saw em on Amazon and eBay. I recently got another one from eBay for 40 bucks cause my wife put it through the wash it still worked too just wouldn't hold a charge after that.

thanks for the reply.. but the bluetooth that u recommend is very rare on the market... T_T

T-Mobile just got in some Plantronics Backbeat 903+ stereo headsets. I bought one and it works great with my Vibrant and Captivate.
Works great with Pandora, track forward play/pause and volume up/down.
Give it a look, they're $99.

just got the motorola rokr s10 today and love it, sounds great and synced right up with my captivate of cog 2.2 v6

wa.. thats too expensive for my budget... how bout the previous backbeat? it has mixed review, some say good some say bad...
http://www.ama zon.com/Plantronics-903-US-BackBeat-Headphones/dp/B001TK3AC0
its only 48$...
the motorola S9 was one of my choice too, but since a new one is coming out, i will wait until the price hit around 40-50$

there is a "newer" version of it
its called MW600
not really a newer version but it works just like that one
look up amazon for reviews
i bought one and it works well for me

I have the Motorola S9-HD pair, and they are awesome. My wife has the Backbeat 903's. I can say that the S9's are WAY better.

Wow dude just saw that i think im gonna get that now for sure cause im such a fan of the old one and the new one has even better battery life full buttons instead of a rocker and caller id...sick! Im sold im convinced these are the best bluetooth devices for music listening. Thanks for the tip!
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App

so, with the sony erricson one, you pause play volume up and down using the thing that u clipped on your clothes? i dont like the idea of touch volume control, but i almost never adjust my volume so it will not be a problem with me, lol...
im going to think about this headset, very interesting! the only down for me is, i dont like plug type headset because i dont know why my left ear cant "plug" the headset in, it always came off, even though i already put smaller rubber cap thingy so it can fit in (my left ear hole is smaller than my right one)

quality headsets with microphone

I looking to buy a quality headsets with microphone that will be compatible with my Galaxy S2.
I am thinking to buy the Zagg smurtbuds.
Do you know if they will work with the Galaxy S2? will the sound be good? the microphone will work? the controller will work with the Galaxy S2 player?
If this headsets are not compatible with the Galaxy S2, do you know about other alternatives?
Thanks!

Could you please elaborate. I'm pretty new to this so I apologize.
How would this work? Through bluetooth? RF signal?
Haven't bought any of the brands above so am not sure.
Also what kind of adapter with remote do I need to buy? (Name?)
Any links if possible would be great for both.
Thanks in advance!
Cheers,

Get a SonyEricsson MW600 bluetooth adaptor and plug any headphone you want in. It has Play, Pause, Back, Forward, Volume buttons and microphone. Problem solved.

Thanks for the quick response - will check them out. Which earphone would you say is the best on audio quality for listening to music (as well as using it for handsfree)?

The problem with Bluetooth remote's is that the audio stream get's compressed, so that kinda defeats the purpose of getting high end ear/headphones. As technology stands today, wired is the only way to go for achieving the best sound quality.
I suppose the real question is this:
For ear/headphone microphone sets that we know work with the SGS2 (such as the one that came in the box) which have four connectors, I suppose the next thing to try is to see whether or not ear/headphones designed for iPhones will work correctly. If iPhone designed headphones work properly (including all controls etc.) then this makes finding a decent pair of working earphones a HELL of a lot easier.

I think that the headsets that comes with the device are quality, dont you think so ?

yesterday i bought the "Bose MIE2" and they are just great.
link for the international site
there are not many controls. just one button that lets you pick up/hang up calls and play/pause/skip music. thats more than enough for me.
the sound is so great but the best thing is the design of the speakers itself.
there is something called "Stay here" attached to them, which makes it almost impossible for them to drop out of your ear.
this works so well that i am even considering to use them for sports too...
unfortunately they cost about 130€ which is a lot. but for me the quality makes it worth it!

So far i'm enjoying the phonak pfe122 on my S2. Sound level seems to have improved possibly due to better isolation and clarity is second to none
I haven't had the opportunity to try out as many earbuds as this guy but his opinion in iem/earbuds is very similar to mine
http://www.anythingbutipod.com/forum/showpost.php?p=128853&postcount=1

I've bought A-Jays Four and for the price range they just sound amazing. As for inline remote, only middle button works, but thats enough in my case.

I recommend atomic floyd, a great product and exemplary customer service.

good quality but you have to keep pressing button to skip song,you can also answer calls but you can hear the phone ringing even with the phones in which defeats the purpose for me,back to the drawing board lol

Nimroth..
is the Bose headset mie2i compatible with the SGS2? are all the features working well and mic also work so the other party on the phone can hear you well?
hope to hear from u soon mate..

The MIE2I's are excellent imho, but like most others the volume buttons don't work with the SGS2.
Headset button controller app is workable and for me worth the hassle to use these headphones.
Mic works well. No one has complained about the quality when I call them.
Totally agree with nimroth. Very few earphones will stay in my weird ears, but these are perfect.

i meant a wired adapter not a bluetooth one, bluetooth is not reccomended for high end headphones especially because flac and uncompressed formats are of a way to high bitrate to stream correctly
if i meant bluetooth i would've said so , i haven't tested any with my sgs as i dont have access to any atm but what i would do is find the cheapest possible headphones with remotes that work maybe even old htc ones or something laying around, then cut off the headphones above the mic/remote section and attach a 3.5mm jack so i can use my Q-jays
least that is my plan.
the loss of quality from the extension will be negligible and either way the sound out of any phone cannot compete with high end audio device anyway, so if you really care about audio quality start carrying a Cowon player.

just for you in case you didnt know: there are two different models:
- the "mie2" only have the mike and ONE button for pause/play/skip/accept or end call (those are the ones i have)
- the "mie2i" are the ones for the iphone and have more buttons (like volume and stuff)
just like MarkyH said the mike-quality is really good (maybe because it is quite next to your mouth), but the volume controls wont work with the sgs2 and most other phones because of a different framework.
i decided to buy the mie2 because i dont mind the missing volume controls or the "one track back" button...

Thank you Nimroth and Also thanks to MarkyH..
Good to know that the headset mie2i works well i.e compatible with SGS2 except for the volume controller.
I've already one and I going to get SGS2 soon.

does the fm radio still work with the mie2i?

I found these:

Hi, i have one.
1) whether all the keys like volume etc work fine with it?
Yes, no problem
2) how is the sound quality in terms of music and calls.
Very good quality
3) is there an option of fast forwarding and skipping of songs.
Hold forward or backward
4) what about the range of Bluetooth?
Like others, 12 meters and no problem.
Everything is ok ! Buy it
You have radio function too with the mw600.
IMHO, a very good bluetooth kit, good song for daily use.
(Sorry for my poor English).

I had the the MW600...but returned.
I don't like the fact the clip is so sensitive, always clicked when clip on .
I got this ...Sony Ericsson HBH-IS800 instead.

All the functions work, play/pause, skip/last, volume, call send and end, etc.
Sound quality is great, I love the fact you can use any earbuds thanks to the 3.5mm jack. I use some pretty high-end in ear modules and they sound really good. The buds that come with the module sound decent as well.
Yes you can fast forward (long press) or just skip, with a single click of the forward button.
Bluetooth range, covers my small apartment with no issue. So 30 feet or so?
I'm loving this with my note, having to take out the note to control my music was getting really bothersome, now I can leave it in my pocket

Wanted to like it but the touch sensitive volume adjust was a big no no

I have one and love it volume sensitivity isn't an issue for me.

First, it don't have the clip attachment so it very comfortable.
Battery life is not bad,I didn't really tested how long it last but it good for me.
when using as the Mic for the phone, no compliant from the other end.
Sound it good for music using with Poweramp which have the equalizer.

I have a set of MW600, which I think are excellent.
I did look at the IS800's, but they had one massive flaw in comparison IMO, and that is that unlike the MW600's, they don't use MicroUSB for charging.
As a frequent traveller, I don't want to carry more chargers than is strictly necessary, and having to carry a dedicated charger for a tiny set of headphones just doesn't work for me.

That's a valid point. For me I'm fine with that.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using Tapatalk

range of bluetooth seems pretty excellent. Interestingly the quality isn't much worse than the output from the headphone jack on the note itself (which is appalling, but just to make the point).
Something I would love to experiment with is using different headphones with it, as well as using an AOSP bluetooth stack with higher bitpool. Higher bitpool by itself would make the headphones well.. perfect. The DAC on them is no worse than the GNote dac.
I definitely love the fact that they use MicroUSB for charging, as I only need to keep one charger around. I could probably get away with just using one wall adapter for a micro USB cable, and having a portable USB device as well as a single cable to charge two devices on the go.
Battery life is really good, and I've had it last two days before on a single charge. Sometimes (with heavy use) it dies with the note, which is not a problem either

That Sony looks nice. For me the point of wireless headphones would be no Clip on unit and less cables which i like about the is800's .

The only issue I have with the mw600 is that - as I am a frequent traveller too and I use a second phone with a local SIM card - it can not connect simultaneously with two phones, although it can be paired with two phones.
It can only connect to one phone and one other device, like a computer or particularly in my case with a Motorola Xoom.

Bluetooth earphones

Hey guys, I'm looking for some bluetooth headphones and hope some of you have some experience and can help me.
Basically I'm looking for something like this: (just so you get a rough idea) http://www.desinformado.com/wp-cont...lantronics-backbeat-go-wireless-earphones.jpg
They should:
- be light
- Have a runtime of >=5 hours
- be easy to use while doing sports
- Not cost more than 60€
- have a play/pause button, maybe a next/previous song button as well
If you have any experience and can help me, I'd be grateful

ditto...
I'm interested as well...

SE MW-600?
I have been looking/googling for these last week.
SE MW-600 has many purpose. can be used for sports(in ear buds but still might fall). same with Samsung HS3000(cheapest of them all). There is also the Jabra clipper and jabra Sport.
with your budget of 60 euros, you can get the sample that you gave(Plantronics/there was one online with a hook). or you can find the one from motorolla (S10HD)but the reviews were not good regarding audio quality.

Just to give you a bigger choice: You don't need pause, skip etc. buttons.
One button is enough, then you can remap them for example like this: one click: play; two clicks; pause; long click; skip one click, long press; skip backward.
And as far as I know, Android doesn't support more than one button, so this is anyway nonsensical. :laugh:

Hello,
I have 2 BT headphones, Sony Ericsson MW600 and Jaybird Freedom, I just the first at work and the latter in the gym, specially to run.
Feature wise, MW600 has that beautiful oled display which not only shows the phone number for incoming calls but also the artist/song name while listening to music. It also has 5 buttons for play/pause, next, previous, power, answer/hangup. The volume is controled in a "touch strip" so you slide your finger to one side to increase the volume and to the other to decrease it. Honestly I'd like better if there where regular volume buttons, instead of this "touch strip", but it isn't really a problem for me.
This headset has the advantage of having a 3.5mm connector for the earphone so you can easily replace it in case yours break or use the one you like better.
As for the Jaybird Freedom has no display, but has 4 buttons for play/pause, volume up/next, volume down/previous and power. The main advantage of this headset IMHO is his design, meaning that the whole unit (battery, earpieces, bluetooth receiver etc) are a single unit so you won't have any gadget dangling as you run or workout, it just stays in place, sturdy in my ear. The downside of this approach are the slightly bulk earpieces, but this don't bother me at all.
Sorry if the text got a little long, but I wanted to pass along my experience with these 2.
Edit: I use both with my Galaxy S II, but I also used it with the Motorola Atrix I had.
Best regards,
Fernando Toledo

I have been using the Backbeat 903 from Plantronics for quite a while and I am very satisfied with it. It's not as tiny and the Backbeat Go but it is lightweight and got all buttons functionality. A search on ebay will land you prices less than $50.
Hope this helps

I'm using the Samsung Hs 3000 BT earphones. They cost about 30 Euro, are easy to use and perfect for sports! They can be fixed to clothes and even survived my washing mashine.

I had Plantronics Backbeat 903+ , I used them for running and biking but they aren't sweatproof and after some trainings I sent them back to the reseller because they started to work bad. I suggest H2O Audio products if you want something sweatproof and waterproof.

I found my Beats Bluetooth Headset fully functional on my Wanamlite ROM.
Inclues: Next and Previous Track, Play /Pause, Answer / Drop Calls and Volume Controls.
Makes my music life... wireless! XD

I've taken a look at all of them. H2o audio seems great, but I don't understand why they don't offer bluetooth headsets. They are making waterproof gear, but do not offer bluetooth for that???
Anyway, the jaybird freedom seems awesome, I'm going to get those, thanks man

Try the Jabra Sport headset. I'm sure you can get it in your price range if you shop around (amazon, ebay, etc)

Loving my new SE-MW600

I am using Jabra Street 2 and they are perfect for me.

I use the HM3700 by Samsung. Nice earphone. Excellent sound quality with two caveats:
The bloody app doesn't work for me but it does for others and the connector on the earphone is microUSB so when your battery FINALLY depletes (lasts for a tidy minute).... you're stuck without headphones as you can't use them without the bluetooth connector (which doubles as a monoheadset too).
It's ergonomic and comfortable though.

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?
Thank you a lot in advance

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...

Do the call buttons work with Skype, Viber and CSipSimple (I know this last one is not very famous)? You didn't specify this. What is CNA?

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!!!

And what about BeyondPod? There is a free version with some default podcasts. Could you please try if the ply/pause button, volume and next/rev buttons do all work?
Thanks still a lot!!!

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 a Motorola S200 or something, a red pair that wraps around your head.
Sounds good and has awesome range. I can walk anywhere in my house and rarely skips.

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.

I can't answer the above question, but I think the mw600 is very nice. I've had mine about 2 years and it has always been great.

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.
