The holy grail of blue tooth ear buds for gym

If your a big gym nut and do a lot of cardio, sports. The Freedom JF3's are remarkable! I've been waiting for these since CES and bought them yesterday. No more snagging your cord and knocking down your precious.
Thought I would share my success with everyone here. Highly recommended!!!
A bit pricey at $99.00, but it's worth every penny.

I may consider this. I was gonna get moto's S10 but it's freakin' tiny for my big head.

How's the sound quality, do they compare to a wired headset?

The sound is great. Can't tell the difference.

Not sure on that, sorry

wearing your bluetooth at the gym and mall seems like your trying a little too hard..
then you have me, i try too hard not to look like i'm trying hard and BAM.. 150 dollar ticket for no bluetooth while driving.
either way you can't win with bluetooth.

Apology accepted, everyone has different views on BT, but yes, let's keep this on topic. Thanks

Piss just did this the other day.
Bolted.....

off topic too but i just got a supertooth bluetooth speaker. its awesome as well!
Also i heard certain roms like CM7 have tweaks that will transmit better quality audio through BT anyone know if this is true?
i agree walking around talking on your bluetooth at the mall makes you look like a jackass but these are headphones and their main use is music not phone calls.
they look pretty nice thanks for the review.

I agree. Can't stand people that wear them all day and hardly ever use them.. How's your speaker? Do you have to scream into it?

it doesnt even have a mic for phone calls. it sounds great for music though really impressed.

I will have to give these a look. Any idea if they are sweatproof? That's my biggest problem with headphones and working out. I sweat a lot and they eventually short out. I didn't see anything obvious on the product page regarding this feature. I sent a product inquiry asking the company and will report back if anyone's interested.

Very much sweatproof, that's the idea behind these headphones. Lifetime warranty against sweat and malfunction.

oh i am really feeling these. i cant wear my huge Beats by Dr Dre everywhere so i might give this a go for when i hit the gym

Just picked up a pair from BestBuy since they have an exclusive on the things I was forced to pay the full retail of $99.99. I'm charging them up now but I'll be back with a full report back on how they do. I currently have a pair of Motorola S9-HD, I did have the S10-HD but they sounded worse then the S9 so I returned them.
So check back and I'll have that report after I return from the gym in about 2 hours.
Edit:
It took me a few minutes to set them up, pair with my Thunderbolt and find the correct earbud sleeve as well as adjust the cable that links them around my neck but they fit well and were easy to pair.
The Good:
They sound amazing... maybe not on par with a great set of plug in headphones like say the Beatz by Dre but head and shoulders above my Moto S9-HD that I use currently. They fit great even though I didn't really spend alot of time finding the perfect combo for my ears. They also felt comfortable as well, they give you 3 or the standard sleeves you get on the S9's and 3 additional sleeves they call GeckoGrip for a total of 6 sleeves. 2 small, 2 medium and 2 large. I only had them slip out maybe twice during my entire workout with stretching, running and weights all in my workout and I think that with a little fine tuning they won't slip at all. Volume is also very loud with a tiny bit of clipping at the highest volume but still well louder than I would ever need before the clipping occurs. The battery seems stout as I made it through an entire 2 hours plus between drive time, stretching/warmup, workout and I even tanned (yes I know.... I'm a guy and I tan. I suffer from S.A.D. and my dr suggested trying it rather than medication and it works for me) and that's with only maybe a half full battery.
The Bad:
Even though they are fairly easy to use I really don't like the multi use buttons all that much. The volume up/down combo for a track back/forward button depending on how they are pressed. That in itself isn't bad but they are fairly small which does make them a bit tricky to short press or long press while running. After a little more use I'm sure I'll have no issues with getting used to them but larger buttons would be a nice addition as there is plenty of room for it. For some the price might be an issue at $99.99 and only available through 1 source at present.
Conclusion:
I think that I'll be selling my S9's and these will be my new BT stereo workout headphones as they are by far the best that I have personally used. Small and light without feeling cheap. Clean, clear sound with great bass response and plenty of volume to drown out the noisiest of gyms. Easy to use with enough choices in sleeves to make a comfortable, secure fit for anyone.

[Q] Very Temped but want opinions

All,
I am a major techie and love to have the newest and greatest like all of you out there . I have one major concern that is holding me back from saying that this is definitely going to be my next phone over the galaxy s III and that is when you are actually talking on the phone is it uncomfortable and awkward to hold up to your ear for a 30-60 minute conversation? I have bigger hands so I am not worried with texting, web browsing, etc....just worried that the phone is slightly over the perfect size to hold to your ear.
Thanks for your opinions!

MOD EDIT, Sir, please be aware of your posts and needs to be in English, also be aware that there are Mods that do speak and understand foreign languages.
Thanks you for your Time. "Vielen Dank für Ihre Zeit"

I think it's quite nice, to be honest.
I haven't heard one person ever say it's uncomfortable holding up to your ear.
People forget how big home cordless phones/cell phones used to be a couple of years ago.

Mostly use a headset on all my phones including the note 1. But when i do make a in hand call from time to time, I've haven't found its size to be a problem. The payoff of the note 1/note 2 size format for me is for surfing and online reading..... Perfect small paperback size.... I haven't used my tablet since i bought it. If it was much smaller it would lose a large chunk of functionality for me. I don't even think of it as a phone anymore. As with anything it depends on how you use it, but it was at least 3 weeks before i realized how effective the format size was. Now im totally addicted.

I've never had a problem with the note up against my ear for that long of period before.
it's kinda funny, most of your mates will mock you with a brick against your ear, how it looks funny. you tend to just shrug it off mock their iphone because they paid more for less specs. I even remind them of how the music they buy on itunes they don't own. when they die, apples retracts it lmao...

I agree with you but looking to the other side you don't own a freaking app on Android either... I mean I can not give them to any other person and if I sell the phone for example and switching to w8 all the apps die with my Gmail out of it..
Wtf.. Why I can not do w/e I want with something I paid for?.. As far as I don't use them to upload them to the Web for piracy..
I think about it like a ps3 game.. I got my disk is can do with it what ever I want... Sell it.. Give it... Destroy it.. Etc

I owned the first note and no, it isn't uncomfortable to talk on the phone with but if you do feel uncomfortable, use the headset that comes with the phone or buy a Bluetooth.

Running with the Note 2?

Has anyone had any experiences running/jogging with the Note 2? I was going to post this in the accessories forum, but wasn't just looking for a good arm band, but also some experiences and tips.
I have the Nike+ App and the Zombie running app that I really want to try, but can't see how carrying my Note 2 around is going to be suitable.
Thanks

I've never ran with a phone but I would have to guess running with the note 2 is a bad idea. I am fixing to start riding my bike soon and I am thinking it will not be such a good idea on handlebars either. Unless you have hulk hogan pythons. Lol.

Ive tried it with an armband and the weight of the phone means it just slides down or the velcro eventually comes undone. I use blue tooth headphones now and put the phone in a waist holder

I think it would be uncomfortable and tbh I wouldnt trust many straps to hold a heavy phone like the N2. For piece of mind I just got a cheap 20euro 6gb mp3 player. No display and no light but does the job. When im working it is the only time I dont want modern technology around me

I have run with the Note2 in my hand. No probs at all...

Waist pack and headphones. Nathan makes some good packs.

I run with the Note 2 in cycling Tshirt with rear spare places. I put it in rear pocket in a plastic bag (for the sweat) and it is all right !!

i run every day with note 2 (use a water resistant/proof waist pack) ,
either use bluetooth headset and listen to music or
use headphones to listen to radio.
Size is no problem at all.!
i have tried app" zombi run",but after a few runs it gets boring !!!

Bluetooth Speaker

Good bluetooth speaker for under $50 make it happen!

You could try any of the Creative D series starting with: http://www.amazon.com/Creative-Wireless-Bluetooth-Speaker-Black/dp/B004X28I0A

I have one of these in my bathroom and it sounds great. Found it on ebay for $25.
http://www.amazon.com/HMDX-HX-P230G...4&sr=1-3-fkmr0&keywords=jar+bluetooth+speaker
Also I feel like everyday there is a bluetooth speaker available on Groupon Goods.

If you have any speakers or a radio or anything you could just get a bluetooth receiver? Dunno if that helps you?

These are also really cool for the price ... http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_n...nics&field-keywords=boombug+bluetooth+speaker.
You should be aware though the One does not do well with Bluetooth and Wifi on at the same time. The signal distance on my One goes from 30 feet down to 8 with Wifi active ...ymmv

You get what you pay for. Invest in a big jambox and you'll be happy you took my advice.

+1 It's worth it to invest in a quality speaker if you plan to use it a lot. I have the Bose SoundLink II and it's awesome. I've taken it on 2 trips and use it whenever I have get togethers at my place. Everyone is amazed at the sound quality from such a small speaker. I also enjoy listening to it in the garage when I'm working on my car. One of my favorite electronics toy.. besides my HTC One, ofcourse.

You can find the HMDX at any company owned AT&T store if you want to test it out. It's not bad for what it is.

What if...in place of the note's stylus pen, we get a bluetooth headset?

Wouldn't that be amazing? A headset that you are less likely to loose, it will always be there fully charged when you need it and tucked away when you don't.
What do you think?

lol no.

Not for me thanks

No thanks. The s-pen is not a stylus, it is a piece of technology allowing for precise actions a stylus could never achieve.
Being able to see what I am about to touch, exactly, before I touch it makes working with cad documents so much easier.
The s-pen was a majority of my decision to get the note 2.

Didn't the last Asus Padphone have a stylus that was also a bluetooth headset? I remember the CEO on stage during the announcement making a big deal about it.
So maybe the OP can have his cake and eat it too. Stylus and headset all in one.
EDIT: Yup, here it is.
