I posted this in the Epic Touch 4G accessory forum, I thought I would also share this with the community at large:
The BlueAnt Q2 bluetooth headset is on sale for 24.99 shipped on eBay deals.
I bought one of these about 4 months ago at $39, the cheapest that I have ever found it. It is refurbished by the manufacturer, but that's still basically brand new.
This bluetooth is definitely recommended by me, it streams all audio (including music) from said device when connected. It also feels really comfortable to wear, unlike other headsets I have tried.
I work at a Sprint store and these retail @ $99. Fry's had them for $76 last time I checked.
Customers love them by the way.

Great device at this price .
Blue ant Q2
I also have one of these devices and can honestly say they are great, though after long periods of time they can obviously get uncomfortable.

I just got a 3.5mm headphone adapter for my Hermes, I'm going to install the SRS wow plugin and I'm quite excited. With an 8GB MicroSD card, it's quite an iPod.
Now, to finish the picture, I'd like to get a decent pair of noise-isolating earphones to use outside so I don't have to kill my ears and annoy people around me. No more than around £35 RRP (which means I'm hoping I can get it a bit cheaper than that online).
Any suggestions for great pairs to look at?
Appreciate any replies.
Thanks
i used skullcandy they make me feel young and hip

That's funny, I'm probably half your age p), and I'm actually after the more professional, "complicated and slightly-troubled artist" look. Yet suave. Oh and it must sound good too!
Will have to keep looking!
Creative EP630 very inexpensive and good quality
Thanks, I found the creative on amazon uk for £6.99! Worth getting just to try out, and can keep as a second pair if I want to upgrade later.
Cheers!
Etymotic ER-6 or ER-6i's.. they go on sale pretty often on amazon or buy.com. They work better than any active noise cancelling headphones I've used, and the sound is very natural.
shure e2c, e3c, e4c, e5c.... but id guess all but the e2c's will be out of your price range. i got my e2c's off ebay for about 35 quid inc postage. theyre the ebst headphones ive ever had. Sennheiser CX300's are also very good, and can be found for about a tenner from some ebay shops. Ive had 2 pairs of cx300's, but when the second pair got stolen, i upgraded to the e2c's and havent regretted it. Btw, rrp for the e2c is 79.99 and the cx300 is about 35 {every number mentioned is in pounds}

Yeah, Shure would be great but out of current pricerange. I got the Creative's as a quick cheap sale from Amazon.
Man, it exposes a lot of hiss!from my iPod, from my Hermes and from my laptop. Is there some high impedance cable you can get? Another thing, it seems to expose the (low) quality of (some of) my mp3s on my iPod! Looks like I'll have to rip ALL my CDs to 320kbps now. Or even aac lossless.
Hey guys. i spotted this steal on amazon and figured some of you may appreciate this.
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B001630QZE/
originally $150, sale $44
These are great bluetooth. I have 2 of them. The nice thing is is that the case doubles as a charger too, so you dont have to worry about it running out of battery when not in use and in the case.
I sure hope nobody buy these for $150. I believe I got mine 2 years ago for $60 and it is still working great, although I seldomly use my bluetooth outside of work
does anyone have any vibrant headphones (the ones that came in the box)? or any place where I can buy them?
I bought a replacement pair on eBay for cheap after I lost mine. Just search for samsung vibrant headphones oem.
This is what you want - the same headphones that came out of the box:

Are you sure these are the ones that come with the phone and are NOT OEM?

Maybe I misunderstand what you are asking, slikk, but wanting the same headphones that came with the phone means to seek out OEM Samsung headphones.
If a product being sold by a third party is stated as an OEM product, then it means the seller did not manufacture it (thereby being from the "Original Equipment Manufacturer"). So to get headphones manufactured by Samsung, thus being the same ones that came with the phone, you actually WANT an OEM Samsung product.
The ones I linked to are an OEM product, so they would be the same ones that came with the phone.
Are these the same as the ones that come with vibrant.
If so, whats the difference between the above headset and this one besides the price.

They are claiming OEM, but the picture doesn't match the stock headphones you get when you buy a vibrant. Maybe the photo they are using is wrong, or maybe they are made by Samsung and the seller misidentified them as t959...no idea.
I actually bought the ones I linked to because the left ear on mine went out, so I can vouch they are the same as what you get when you originally bought your phone.
Hope I've helped you out.
The ones from Deal Day link above are the ones that came stock in the box. I have ordered a pair as well. You can get them there for about $15 or from Samsung for $30. Up to you.

Just what I needed. I got my Vibrant off Craigslist so they didn't include any headphones. Replacements for less than $10? Win.. How is the quality on them though?
haven't recieved them yet. Expecting them in a day or so. I contacted the seller,he said they are OEM. I would expect the quality to be the same as the stock ones.
I never got the chance to use the stock headphones for the Vibrant. Ordered anyway.

I used stock ones..they were great. I havent used anything else so cant compare those with others.
The sound quality on these stock headphones is okay, but nothing spectacular. They are what you expect from a pair costing less than $20. They are quite nice for calls because it seems they are tuned for voice frequencies. For music, the low end rolls off much sooner as compared to higher quality headphones and are not as dynamic. This is the case compared to Woodees w/mic, Koss Porta Pros, UE TripleFi 10 and Grado 225i, all headphones in which I own at various price points. If you can get them for less than $10, I would say that is still a great value.
received the headset bought on ebay. I can confirm they are OEM manufactured by Samsung.
An alternative.
If you're interested in some mic'd headphones that are a good deal higher in quality without breaking the bank, MEElectronics's white CC51P in-ear monitors with microphone are on sale at Amazon for $50, down from the $80 range. I've used the non-mic'd version myself, and the sound quality nearly brought me to tears
If you google "176 review IEM", you'll find a treasure trove of information about in-ear buds, including pricing and value. MEElectronics is known for making excellent budget in-ear buds, with the CC51 and a151 being some of the best sub-100 ear buds on the market (according to the site, at least.)
The stock ones are quite decent actually. Esspcially with voodoo sound module
I use beats by dre however control talk doesnt work =(

I've never actually used the headphones that came with my Vibrant. Lol.
I had a pair of JLabs headphones, high quality, really durable, and $20.
Just picked up a pair of these Moto Rokr S9 HDs from buy.com $42.58 was my total shipped, but it varies slightly from seller to seller. http://www.buy.com/prod/motorola-mo...etooth-headset-new-oem-in-bulk/211822460.html
Received them today, and I must say that I'm impressed, especially for the price. Been wanting a pair for a while. Researched them for a while before deciding on these.(had heard bad things about the S10s) They pair easily with the Epic and sound great. The hands free activates Vlingo. I rarely use that. Got them mostly for streaming music They fit snug on my average size head and are really lightweight.
Be careful
I had the same ones until they were stolen/lost. They are awesome. I now have the next version. So, I do recommend them. My point of concern is DO NOT BUY THESE FOR CHEAP ON EBAY.
The guys at work loved them for working on there days off or running on the treadmill. You don't have to fumble for your phone and they are great for music.
But, one guy at work got a pair for 25 bucks on ebay and they were FAKE. The hologram sticker was not the same and it had differences you could tell when you held two of them up close. They worked but the quality was far worse. So, be warned. I can personally confirm there are fakes out there. I would think buy.com is safe though.
+1 for the S9-HDs. Best bluetooth set I've ever owned. My cat destroyed mine and I replaced them with the S10s but they suck in comparison. not nearly the same sound and much more bulky. If you're on the fence, get the S9s.
as a note, my opinion is based strictly on music quality. I rarely use my headset for phone calls, but they both perform perfectly when I do.
I love the motorola s10-hd. I had a pair a while back with my og epic but they did not funtcion correctly so I sold them. they function 100% with epic touch though!
Ive got 4 pair for sale if anyone is interested. Brand new, factory sealed, 100% genuine. Im asking $45 shipped
I prefer the rocketfish ones. Same price

I have seen them for $20 a while ago from a legitimate on line store but can't remember. It may have been a post on Slickdeals.
I had the S9Hds, just don't sweat with them on. Eventually the buttons will stock working. 3 months and the buttons stopped working because the sweating.
I picked up a pair of the LG HBS-700's:
http://www.amazon.com/LG-HBS-700-Wireless-Bluetooth-Headset/dp/B0052YFYFK
Cannot recommend them enough. Great for running, great for office... The neck thing vibrates when you get a call, and the battery gets me through a day at work with no issues.

+1 for the LG HBS-700's The S9's always hurt my ears and the signal would cut out with the phone in my pocket.
I got them here on sale...29.99 38ish shipped
http://www.bluetoothtronics.com/lg-hbs700-hbs-700-stereo-bluetooth-headset-p-840.html
OH and the s9s hurt my head too. (medium sized head, not bulbous) So THANKS for the tip on these!
I had a pair of the previous model and they are NOT IN ANY WAY sweat-proof. A little moisture and they go haywire.
I got about 3 weeks use out of mine until the controls stopped working. Good luck and don't use them when exercising, sweat kills them fast.
i've had my S9 headset for over a year, used it with my epic and now my touch, no complaints, great sound.
Yeah, I love mine so far...
