You know I dont understand why the captivate didnt come with a headset with the volume control/skip-previous control. My brother has an HD2 and I really wish I had that.
for 4 bucks I might bite on those samsung ones as well because I am not a fan of the ones that this came iwth

I suppose it's all relative...

Yeah, I've never been a fan of IEMs. I just use my Yuin PK3s with it. I only listen to music on it, so I don't need a headset.

To be honest, I was impressed with the stock IEMs. For a free set of phones, they don't sound half bad, and they do a good job of blocking out ambient noise. I wear them in bed to listen to something calming when the AC in my room is on (it's super loud). I have yet to use them as a headset, but I've read that the mic is not great. I won't turn my nose up at free stuff if it's good quality.
I also use Yuin PK3s with my Captivate most of the time. They obviously sound leagues better than the Samsung IEMs, but as earbuds don't block any noise.

I had no issues at all with the cheap stock ones, I wore them on my flight to Vegas from DC for Blackhat/Defcon, cut down on most of the engine/plane noise.

The in the ear headphones are ok. But when in a house with 3 kids under 8 it gets a little dangerous cause I can't hear them.
But in some cases that may be a good thing. Lol.

Please tell if they control song selection, other than just pause, such as skip to next song.

i prefer in ear more than those regular one
it helps a lot when you are in a noisy environment,i.e. subway
you don't need to turn the volume to really high to get the music you wants! better for your ears!
the stock is okay but kind of annoying since it doesn't have the control with it

I actually like the stock headphones, except the thin cable is always winding it'self up.
And I doubt that any $4 pair of earbuds will blow any minds with their sound quality

I was rather impressed with the included IEMs... they have great sound quality, and its nice to see earbuds come with a phone. They even have acceptable low end frequency response (sounds like between 10-20 hz).
I'm a dj (hence my name) so i'm a bit of an audiophile, but I was totally fine going on a run using these as my headphones for pandora (since I can use the button to skip and pause).

doubletap the button on the included headphones to skip to next song

I prefer earbuds. These look pretty comfortable. I ordered a set.

Mine either... how did you guys get this to work on your cappys?

http://www.amazon.com/NuForce-NE-7M...1?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1282721778&sr=8-1
These are pretty much THE BEST earphones I've ever used!
The sound is perfectly balanced with bass you can pretty much feel
It's very comfortable (Though I'm using them with the sony hybrid silicon tips/comply foam tips)
The microphone is of excellent quality! (No one ever complains about voice quality when I'm talking to them on the phone)
And most importantly to me is that the button works with MixZing to play/pause and skip songs.
These ARE in-ears so most people (like the OP) either don't like them at all, or will have to take some time to get used to them.
Now, I'm not an audiophile, but I have tried other "mid-end" earphones *just to try something new* like the Klipsch S4i, Shure SE115+, Bose In Ear, BEATZ by Dre, and the Sony earphones for the Iphone and I always end up falling back to these. Thankfully Apple has a very good return policy ;D It also helps that the NuForce are about half the price of all of the other brands I listed here
What's also great about these is the company has a VERY good warranty. I've had them sent me a replacement absolutely free a couple times, because of the wires going out due to me mishandling them.

Wireless ear buds

Any one with any experience with them? And which kinds?
I suppose most of them need bluetooth?

I've got some of these...
http://www.google.co.uk/products/ca...a=X&ei=CqHBTueCPMmxhAeH3vmaBA&ved=0CHIQ8wIwAA
They're really good quality (which they should be for the price). The only downside is that there's no controls or volume on them. There's just 1 button for turning on/off and pairing. They do also double as a hands-free kit though, as there's a mic built into them.
If you're not fussed about controls and volume then I couldn't recommend these more.
Alternatively, go for a "dongle" approach, like this...
http://www.google.co.uk/products/ca...776039&ei=fKHBTvPTEpzj-AbgpvnjBA&ved=0CBkQrhI
That kind of thing is very popular and that one in particular is very good. A mate of mine got one and he loves it.

It obviously does have an effect, but using bluetooth doesn't really drain the battery that badly. Bare in mind that you're normally gonna have some media player running (music or video), and that's the main drain reason.

Woaw, Marvellous, but a bit pricey ;-(

I regularly use a Sony Ericsson MW-600, you can plug any earphones you already have (including headphones) and still use them for calls since the mic is on the piece itself, it has FM-Radio too so if you use it and use some AOSP ROM without FM it solves the issue for itself...
They go around 40€ in Amazon if you're in Europe. And already bring some okayish in-ear-phones.
It barely makes any diference on the battery, and it's alot better than being all wires and stuff...

I can totally recommend jabra bt3030, using it since i was on a HTC G1, good sound , interesting looks, I only wish they had an option to turn the backlight off, sometimes its just too much of a beacon/lighthouse.

Wireless headphones are virtually all awful. Most of them are bloody awful.
Your best option is the bluetooth dongle idea so you can plug decent headphones into that. You still have a cable, but at least you can tuck the small receiver into a shirt pocket rather than a large phone.
I did come across some Samsung headphones that weren't too bad for quality/functionality, but they were very uncomfortable.
I've gone through quite a few and gave up, they all had some issue or another that made them impractical. Another annoying thing is that the manufacturers all insist on putting bright flashing blue LEDs on them which look stupid.

Thanks for the input everyone. I decided not to go for wireless at this time. I couldn't find one that really impressed me. My main issue was the consistent tangling of the cords.
I opted for the retractable device thingy for now

guess I'm alittle late but I use my motorola S9-HD-Stereo-Headphones, they have a pause,forward and backwards,volume controls plus call answering ..possible voice control haven't tried it yet..

I am planning on buying something similar. Has anybody used the Jabra sport Bluetooth headset? They look pretty good but not sure about the quality of the sound.

Hey guys,
Just a few days ago I purchased the LG Tone (model HBS-700).
It's a pure bluetooth headset, no dongle. I must say, I'm quite impressed. Great design, the unit which rests around the neck, has controls for volume, pause/play, call, and forward/rewind.
I purchased these mainly for audio books (audible), but music as well. I'm no audiophile, but they sound as good as the stock samsung ear buds. Max volume is louder than I can handle.
Battery life of the device seems to be spot with the advertised 10 hours. Charges via a micro usb.
As for the phone, bluetooth does take its toll, still not too bad. Between the 2000mah samsung battery, androidmeda rom, and undervolt, my phone lasts well over a day.
Phone call feature works great too. Calls are clear and everyone I've spoke to in the last few days said they could hear me just fine.
The only issue I've noticed so far, is that in netflix, there seems to be a delay/timing issue. Audio is about 1/10th of a second behind where it should be. Its slightly noticeable, but far from an issue for me.
I paid $47.00 (usd) on Amazon for them. So far I'm very satisfied.

hi everyone. I'm thinking of getting mw600 for my SII. I'm just interested what is the sound quality. I meen I'm no audiofil but could there be some static/cracking or something when there is interference. Now I use iTech MyVoice 312 and sound is quite bad.
cheers.

Looks like I'm pretty late on this one but I have the MW600 with my i9100. It works perfectly. I plug in a really good pair of Klipsch (sp?) headphones and get great battery time with my phone with bluetooth on. I also get what I consider to be an unusually good range between the bluetooth and the phone. When I was getting out of range it would sorta 'fuzz' or 'static' out like an old analog wireless phone. It was enough of a warning to remind me not to go any further away since I would forget that I was actually using bluetooth...

My dad bought it in Dubai but I wont be able to test it for 2 more months. I'll let you all know the results but I expect the best as mentioned by others already.
Also I like this "feature" that you mention about "static" when to far away. It's a good thing, I also get that with my current ear BT from iTech and I can get really far away from the phone which is a very good thing. with the same BT and SE W980 the range was really limited but I guess it's down to the class of BT inside the phone.
cheers.

Why has nobody suggested the Samsung HS3000 Bluetooth Headset? Has all the necessary controls and you can then just plug in a paid of decent headphones (I use Klipsch x10). Works perfectly. Simples.

Wired Headset Recommendation?

Happy New Year everyone!
I've been searching for a specific type of headset to use with the ET4G for weeks without success and hoping someone might be able to help.
I'm a runner and for years have used these Sony clip on headpones:

I've found that they are the only style of headphones that don't keep falling out when I am out running and sweating (the ear bud style keep falling out, I tried the Motorola S10-HD Bluetooth headset but found that enough sweat will short out the Bluetooth receiver on the back). While the Sony headphones work fine with the ET4G, to use it for phone calls I have to hold the device up to my mouth; so I am looking for something with a built-in microphone.
Might anyone have a recommendation for a wired headset with microphone similar to the headphones pictured above?
Thanks so much for your thoughtful feedback!

I don't know how the skullcandy 50/50's are (w/mic) but the titans sound really great (no mic). The titans have good low end and good clarity.

I can't speak from experience this is just an idea of what "might" work, but the Monster iSport Immersion Headphones may be what you're looking for.
Pros:
Water proof (You can actually rinse them off)
Light weight
Built in cable controls
***Check for device compatibility first as they may or may not work with Android devices as far as the controls go***
Great build quality
Noise cancellation
Cons:
Noise cancellation (Not good if your running in areas with traffic as you'll need to be able to hear oncoming traffic etc)
Price (The Monster cable site lists them at $149.95) though I'm sure they can be had cheaper online (Ebay, Amazon etc)
They also come in black.

I don't run very much, but I have a pair of Sennheiser MM 50 iP earbuds that suction into the ear.
While I'm at work, I can rack servers, change backup batteries, and run around the datacentre like a mad man and they never fall out.
Also, the sound quality is EXCELLENT and I can barely hear anything outside.
Only downside is that I like to hear what's going on outside of my earbuds when talking on the phone. So, they're great for music and quick phone calls, but for longer calls I don't care for them.

Thanks to each of you for your suggestions so far; looking forward to any other suggestions folks might have.
The one suggestion that comes somewhat close is the Monster iSport Immersion because it comes close to clipping on the ear which, along with the Mic, is the key feature for me because having tried every modification of in-ear/ear bud style- they all fall out whereas the ear clip prevents that.
Has anyone tried:
Powerbeats by Dre Sport?
or
The Sprint Stereo Headset

Hi all,
I've had these headphones since January (2012). I can vouch how durable they are and they do sound AMAZING. I'd always hated the in-ear phones because they'd always fall out. The little in-ear clip on these does a good job of staying put, once you fit yourself with the properly sized attachments (included).
The iSport Immersions are awesome, but know this...the only part that works with Android devices is the pause/play button. Track skipping does NOT work. When running or working out, I tend to not mess with the music very much, so for me it's not very important.
Monster does make a iSport LIVESTRONG (yellow) with Universal control. Basically the same as the Immersion, but different control. I'd recommend these over the Immersion for Android users.
Cheers!

Go to Wal-Mart and buy a set of body glove in ear buds. They come with over ear clips. I work on an oil rig and they stay put no matter what. Plus they are only 20 bucks and sound 20 times better than the skull candy ear buds I have. Almost as good as my Sure ear buds. Built in mic too

LG Tone HBS-700 Bluetooth review

Okay guys I recently ordered these on Amazon since I was in need of Bluetooth headphones. It has 4.5/5 stars on Amazon and for only $50, it wouldn't hurt to try them. Starting off, I really liked the packaging. It was love at first sight

When taken out, these headphones look really really good.
These has a unique design. They headphones are attached to the band that stays around your neck. Just pull them out the socket and put them in your ear. When you're done, put them back in the socket, which connects with a magnet that's on the back part of the ear buds.
They have controls that work well with the phone. They have Play/Pause, Volume Up/Down, Next/Previous and a phone button
The headset itself has its own volumes. You can set the volume for the headset and if its not loud enough or too loud, you can also make it louder or less louder with the volume button on the phones. There is also a bass booster feature that enables when you hold down Volume up and down at the same time and it sounds good for Bluetooth headphones. The only control that doesn't seem to work right is the fast forward/rewind button. It says to hold down the next/previous button to do this. The headphones itself makes the noise that makes it seem like its doing it but the song continues at normal speed. Not a deal breaker. I tried this with Google Music so it might be different with other players. It has a built in mic and I only made one call and the person said they heard me loud and clear. The headset will have its own notification to let you know about the call and the neck band actually vibrates which I think is cool
It comes with an app that reads the message but let me save another long block of text by simply saying: ICS=No Worky.
Another thing is when you have it on, the phone button works like voice commands. I have Vlingo on my phone and it only seems to work right with the In Car feature of Vlingo as everything with that is done by voice but I'm sure that's yet another battery hog.
Also when you pick it up, it feels very light and like it dangles so at first it felt like it could break easily but I'm sure its durable. The ear buds are also sweat proof and water resistant (Im sure read this in the description)
Okay sorry for the long review but I just wanted to get this out there for any one in search of a good Bluetooth set. I know us GNex users suffer battery issues but if you don't mind that or you have great battery life, I HIGHLY recommend these. These are some great Bluetooth ear buds and for $50 with how great it works and looks, you really can't go wrong. Hope this helped someone out there

Does anyone know if any local stores like, best buy, target, staples, etc... sell this headset.

I got the exact same ones about 2-3 weeks ago from newegg for $40. Awesome headset for the price. I've been using them almost everyday at work.

Well from what I've read the wireless ones has lesser bass than the actual corded ones. I might still get them but with these, I'm almost positive I've found my perfect Bluetooth headphones

I just returned the ibeats earbuds to best buy last week. Those were by far the worst headphones I have ever owned.

I searched the entire market and this is the model that struck me.
Now that you have owned this piece for about 4 months, can you tell us the pros and cons in real usage ??
I am mainly looking at Multipoint connectivity an iPOD and my Galaxy Note at the same time. Is that possible with this model ??

I've had these since at least November. I use them almost every single day at work. I use them while jogging, working out, shopping... basically everywhere.
I bought my sister and her boyfriend each a set for Christmas.
I've said it a few times but these are literally my favorite tech purchase of the year. For wireless they sound excellent. I don't expect audiophile quality out of any wireless equipment, but these did surprise me for the price. The design is superb. I love being able to have one ear bud in at work listening to podcasts while the other bud is safely stored away. The battery will likely outlast your nexus and as long as you plug it in each night you shouldn't have any issues there.
I've had mine for 6 months and they don't seem any worse for the wear. I try to wipe them down after jogging / working out, but other than that they don't get any special treatment.
5/5.

Great. This surely helps me make the decision.
Anything you can say about the multipoint connectivity?

I haven't used multi point much, but it does switch between my MacBook and Galaxy Nexus without problem.

I absolutely love these headphones. They sound great, the battery lasts for quite a few hours, and it works perfectly for calls as well. This is especially great when I travel for work. Because the headset is stereo and goes in both ears, I have no problems tuning airport noises out while on any call.

I bought a pair a month ago. I got then on ebay for $35 & I really love them. I had the motorola's SD-9, those were uncomfortable, sounded weak & the controls stopped responding a couple of month after I bought them. These are very comfy. They sound great with good sound level. I use them with my iPod & HTC OneX. I listen to my audiobooks in the iPod and when I get a call it just pauses the iPod, I do my call and then the iPod resumes. The batery life is awesome, I listen to my iPod all day long without having to stop to recharge. The calls sound loud & clear, the caller hears me clearly without having to raise my voice. These are great!

Bought the updated version of these bluetooth headphones (HBS-730) and they are fantastic.

Thanks for the reviews everyone, guess I found my bluetooth headset

Some Cons
I purchased the HBS-730 and all of the positive reviews are correct. I would like to share two real-world-use concerns.
1) The ear buds have a hole opposite the speaker. I can tell that they enhance the sound quality because when I cover them with my finger, the audio degrades. When I'm running this hole creates a noticeable wooshing sound.
2) These are designed to rest comfortably around your neck. When running, they bounce up and down and bonk against my collar bones. I have attempted to put the front parts under my shirt, but that hasn't worked very well. I may try clipping them to my shirt to keep them from bouncing up.
Has anyone else experienced these issues?

Bluetooth Earphones for Motorcycle?

I'm looking for some earphones to use on my s3 which I can use with my phone to listen to music/gps whilst I'm using my bike. So I need the earphones to be flat so they fit in my helmet comfortably. They also need a decent battery life and ideally can be charged from a 12v cigarette lighter plug.
Can anyone make any recommendations? I'm looking for good quality but cheap. Thanks anyone that can help at all!

I ride snowmobile/motorcycle as well and the best solution I've found so far for me is
http://www.lg.com/us/cell-phone-accessories/lg-HBS700-tone
they can be had for a bit cheaper.
Battery life has been great for me on them.... I don't think I've ever killed them, not even in the cold.
and unlike most things now days..these things literally have some great standby time...sometimes I use them, come home, dont use em for weeks (month) and still get a ton of time out of them
I was hugely skeptical since I didn't like LG But i've been rocking a pair for over a year now and they haven't died yet.
the only complain I have on them is that the range isn't great (but for our application here) it works fine.
my second vote would be these..... http://store.sony.com/webapp/wcs/st...productId=8198552921666198163&tab=featuresTab
most people love em (but my gf's pair died within a couple weeks) and they are hard to read in the Sun
I have been extremely curious about these for myself though... http://store.sony.com/webapp/wcs/st...productId=8198552921666417432&tab=featuresTab
oh and atleast for the first two...they can be charged via micro usb
may be worth looking into....

I have some jaybird bluetooth headphones but I'm pretty sure they wouldn't fit under your helmet. they're brilliant but 100 quid!
I would suggest something like the Nokia bluetooth clip that I also have. looks a bit like the first generation ipod shuffle. it has all the functions you need and also you can plug your own headphones into it. it just clips on to your clothes. I found it to be very good and less than £20. I think it is called bh 204 although I'm sure there's an updated version now.

I'm looking for something more like these style earphones

I need something flat as the ones Alan stated, I've tried before, but they are painful after a while due to pushing on my ear.

I use a jawbone era. it's big but you can make it fit or cut a small hole in your helmet to make it fit. sound is okay, and the other people i have talked to have said I sound clear as a bell while going down the highway. it's truely an amazing little device.

just got a set of G9's to replace my G4.

My wife and I use the Sena SMH10 on both our helmets. It is a great product. We can talk to each other when we are riding together and when I'm riding solo, I connect my cell phone (SGS1 - White SGS3 is on order! :victory to it and stream music. You can even connect devices that don't have bluetooth via the 3.5mm headphone connector. Lastly, it gives you full control over the phone function too allowing you to place and receive calls while riding all hands free (other than pushing the button on the side once to connect to the incoming call or begin voice activation).
Yes, you will have to have a bulky piece of hardware attached to the side of the helmet, but the speakers are Velcro(ed) under the padding and you would never know they are there.
Good luck on finding something that works, hope you find something that meets your needs!

I always use to just wedge my Evo 4g in my helmet on speaker phone lol... Use to text and ride too .... But thats a diff story... Good luck on finding what your looking for...

I use the cardo system "Scala Rider G4"

I use Cellularline Interphone F4. Works fine with SGS and SGSIII.

I use the Scala Rider G4 too. Works like a champ.

I use a chatterbox with bluetooth capabilities and it gets loud enough to hear music fine on the freeway with a loud two brother exhaust.....
