Bluetooth headset

What would be a good Bluetooth headset that has noise cancellation while on calls and could allow listening to mp3s or Pandora?

Jawbone Icon, but I hear the battery life isn't quit that good. That's the only thing that's prevented me from getting it. Maybe someone else can confirm or recommend something better.

Been using every model of the Jawbone since they were released. The newest Icon is the best ever. Great sound & battery life.

Would you recommend this for playing music through bluetooth?

The Plantronics Backbeat with Altec Sound is very good.

I have a convertible and have always used a bluetooth headset in my car. I have tried almost every dual mic mono bluetooth and the best overall brand is Plantronics. The Voyager has the highest ratings, but is so big and uncomfortable. The 975 is very good, but pricey. The first Jawbones were not great, but the newest Icon is a great headset. However, for the money, the headset I have found to be the most feature rich and best sounding is the Motorola 790. These are all mono sets.

Jawbones are great headsets. Nice audio quality, but not the best volume.
Blueants are another great set, I have used them for a while now.
If you want a stereo, jaybirds are awesome. Hands down.

I agree, and the blueant also has an app from the market that allows custimizations for the headset, if i was honestly gonna invest more money into a bt headset thats the direction i would go

Just fyi;
the blueant Q1 (the one I have) the app doesn't work for Froyo.
and,
the Blueant Q2 (the one I want to get) doesn't have an app yet. However, the Q2 is still pretty new, so I'm sure the app is en route.
Supposedly the Q2 has some kickass sound. Can't wait, personally

Had the original jawbone for years now and it was a ga=ood headset but uncomfortable fit. Got the blueant z9i but the noise cancellation wasn't as good as the jawbone. Just picked up the jawbone icon and the noise cancellation is unparalleled. People can't even tell I'm in my car with the windows halfway down. Plus it has a much smaller and more comfortable fit than the original. Oh yeah, it handles a2dp also! Definitely the way to go. Only complaint, volume could be louder.

Ya know, that's the problem with so many of these headsets. They just don't have the volume for real world applications.
It's like they only think people use them in a car or in the office. That's why I took back my Jawbone. Great set, but I couldn't hear squat.
Oh yeah, the Blueant Q1 and Q2 support A2DP...

I have the BluAnt Q2 and it works pretty good for playing music and everything else.

I use lg hbs-700

I second that motion, jawbone is the way to go. Battery life is approximately 4 hours more or less(constant streaming). It does support Ad2p and extreamly well. Everybody's talking about the audio not loud enough but if you have a rooted phone you can find dsp manager, (I know cayogen offers it in his roms) and you can find the standalone apk and adjust the volume till its too loud.

[Solved] HTC BH M300 Bluetooth headset

Hi XDA peeps.
i just picked up a cheap bluetpoth headset by the above name, after it checked out for having A2DP functilnality and had ok reviews. My SGS2 connects and says the right stuff and all seems hunky dory. But I can't get any sound out of it.
When messing with the volume a green light flashes on it twice followed by one blue. Still no sound. All the phone options are enabled for music and calls.
I've tested with an iPhone 4 also, same problem.
Has anyone had this headset before with similar problems? Or is this a case of faulty product?
Cheers~

Solved. Took it back to the store and turns out it was faulty. Replacement headset works brilliantly!
For £15/€20 I believe this is a right bargain.

blue tooth

Does anyone know and have used and a good blue tooth / headset. I want to get one that is both headset and blue tooth. I seen one at best buy for 70$ but don't know how good it is.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-T989 using xda premium

parrot line of blue tooth products are the best imho.

I have used Plantronics headsets for years. My current one is the Voyager Pro UC. It is the best one I have every had. I have purchased multiple Pro series headsets for my company and they have worked well. It has great noise cancellation and good battery life. It is a touch bulky but workings great. I use it daily, and I wear it for hours at a time.

Really like the Motorola Elite Flip
*superb* microphone and speaker quality, EQ, multiple phone support, and comes with different fittings for your ear

They made the HM7000 to compliment the T989.
The casing matches the battery cover.

I got one I am selling if you're interested.

I'm not quite sure what exactly you are looking for, but if you want a stereo Bluetooth headset for listening to music and fire making and receiving calls, I like the Motorola s305. I have had mine for two years and they work just fine with this phone. last I checked, they run about $40 from Amazon.

Glad I could help. One thing to be aware of: in my experience, some ROM/kernel combos have been problematic. With BeastMod 5.0 and synergy kernel, occasionally turning the headset off while music is playing locks up Bluetooth and requires a reboot to regain Bluetooth functionality. I had similar problems with revenge of macnut r1. Blue pulsar worked without a hitch. Eugene's CM7 R2 has been fine for the last two days.

The jawbone era and the jabra supreme are the best out right now

Samsung HM7000. I think it's $60 in the store. The out case matches the SGSII battery cover. It's nice. Gizmodo or someone rated it the best.

Bluetooth Headphones

Anyone been using them?

I have been using the Jabra Halo 2 bluetooth headset, and they work great on the Note 2.

I use WM600, it's good for listening to music, but the microphone sucks, sot it's bad for speaking, too noisy

I use a jabra bt3030, you can use any headphones you want with it. Sound quality is more than passable, battery and range are good too. Highly recommended.

Been using Plantronics ones on SG 2 and now Galaxy Note 2. No issues with sound quality. I have flexible cord ones. Just need to take of them as would throw in my bag and broke one of the connectors (fixed by super glue and now have had over a year).

I've got this http://www.futuresoundlab.co.uk/
Its got media buttons which i thought sends normal commands like a multimedia keyboard on windows does, but no!!!!!!!! found out it needs to be supported by the app which i find is silly. it works great on poweramp but nothing on deezer
The only grip i do have is when im connected although all the audio streams go through the headphones, the ringtones, notifications, system sounds go through the speakers. So if i mute them, which i have to cus im at work. I dont hear them through my headphones. Any suggestions?

wireless audio bleutooth a2dp

I read somewhere that we could use Bluetooth a2dp device on our N5 but can not find it.
Has anyone tried it? With what device and did it work?
And if it worked did it work good?

BT a2dp is stereo BT right?

A2DP was a Bluetooth profile that became famous in the Bluetooth 2.0 era and stayed... Its what causes the back and for relay of stereo music and audio from the mic back and forth from headset to handset...
Generally almost all headsets which are all stereo bluetooth Bluetooth 2.0 and above will always have a2dp profiles... Just look in the product descriptions when your looking at a headset.
I'm still waiting on my N5 but I had last used a Sony MW600 on my Nexus4 and it was naturally a2dp and worked great...
Sent from my LG-P930 using Tapatalk

A2DP works fine on the N5. I have connected it to a Sony MW600, Samsung HS3000, JBL Flip, and Kenwood KIV-BT901 (BT module for a Kenwood deck). Pairing was no problem and it sounds fine (it is wide bandwidth as far as bluetooth goes, but it won't sound as good as using the headphone jack of course).

Hey I heard somewhere that the N5 has a color screen. Can anybody confirm it has a color screen and what colors that screen can display? thanks.

Have you not tried using the N5 with your car stereo yet? If so, don't rule it out so fast. I've been very impressed with the N5 audio quality paired via bluetooth with my car's stereo. I'm quite picky about sound quality as well.

No cause I absolutely hate the way you browse on the radio with android that's why I use the head phones jack. The audio works via Bluetooth but I want my to control with my phone and not the radio because of that.

anyone know how well Bluetooth audio works with Bluetooth 4.0 devices? a lot of sites ive been too claim better battery life, and superior audio quality to 2.0. I am planning getting this and hacking it into my car stereo. contacted the seller and he claims its Bluetooth 4.0, so would audio be better than 2.0, and also would battery life for my nexus 5 be better than streaming to a Bluetooth 2.0 device?
forgot to add the link.....heh

No apt-x... So if streaming is really a big deal to you, this may not be the best phone.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

If you ever actually care about sound quality, do not use bluetooth. AptX or not, 2.0 or 4.0, doesn't matter, bluetooth on a good day sounds like a 96kbps MP3. This isn't just in regards to the Nexus 5, this is every bluetooth device ever. I've used Macbooks, iPads, several Android phones, several car stereos, headsets, and more. Never have I been terribly impressed.
Basically, if you want quality that is about as good as an FM transmitter, you're fine. It's great for calls and other voice functionality. But anyone with a discerning ear, stick with cables. Myself, I cringe every time I hear a song with any cymbals or high range instruments.

Bluetooth 4.0 will not give you better audio quality or improved battery life on devices which stream audio.
