[Q] Which wireless headphones should I get?

So as my title states, which wireless headphones should I buy? Keep in mind, my price range only goes up to £66. And also I would be really happy if it was in the UK!
Thanks.

I bought the Sony Ericsson MW-600 and love them. The dongle has a 3.5mm jack so you can use your own headphones easily.

I also use the Sony Ericsson MW-600 headset.
It came bundled with my former X10i.
Excellent bluetooth headset with built-in FM radio and good battery-life compared to its size.

Hiya,
Have a look in here. I have SoundWear SD10 and Im very happy with them. Good sound quality and the bass for its price. Very good connection and range as well. Calls quality is also good. I also had Moor (the thin ones) which were very good. Dont buy Plantronics or Jabra Sport, too expensive and they dont work as good as these above.

What they said!
I love my MW-600s, depending on what music player you use it sends track info to the OLED screen on the dongle (Works with stock player, not poweramp )
You can pair up to 3 devices to it, I have my PC, phone and Laptop paired up.
Sound quality is great but I had some driver issues with Windows but that was resolved.
It's my second pair after my first pair were stolen as soon as the police said
they couldn't do anything I ordered a new pair right away £30 I paid.
They also work great for a home audio set up, plug that into the AUX port on your stereo
and you can control your music from the phone without getting up.
9/10 I give them, they lose a point because the ear buds that came with them have started to get a minute crackle in the right driver.

How is battery life when using a bluetooth headset or earphones?

I use these ones
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Samsung-HS3...I998/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1331676330&sr=8-1
Work perfect with all bt devices, good sound and radius. And you can use your own headphones as well. Also the clip is quite handy.
Havent noticed any great battery eating by bt so far. The battery doesnt make more than one day anyway but one day was no problem with normal usage und bt for 2 or 3 hours.

I really do appreciate all the suggestions and responses. But, what part of "headphones" did you guys not understand xD?
Still thanks a lot!

Wireless = bluetooth.
Headphones = Objects inserted into ears that produce noise.
Everyone seems fairly on-topic IMO.
My personal suggestion though, Plantronics Backbeat 903 or 903+. Wearing my pair as I type this. Beyond comfortable, durable, great battery life, good sound.

Very good headphone.
If you listen about 8 h/day, the battery should last for 2 days.

wow i can't belive the difference between 3.0 and 2.0 bluetooth, I;ve tryed yesterday and its incredible, so I'll recommend someone with bt 3.0

There is a huge difference between "earphones" and "headphones" mate...

thanks for the suggestions..help me decide what to buy. will try one of these

Thanks to this thread I got some Sony Ericsson MW-600s. After a few days I'm really pleased with them, using my own phones. Has all the features I want - volume/skip/stop/call, easy to clip on anywhere and works flawlessly.

I got those a few days ago:
LG Tone (HBS-700)
What shall I say? Awsome!

I use Sennheiser MM100's, picked them up cheap (£60) when O2 were selling them off as end of stock.
Battery life is good, 7+ hours continual use, charge from USB (one of the rarer USB types too, replacement cables are a nuicance to get but not impossible and not expensive either). They can charge from PC/Laptop or a 5v adapter same as most phones use.
Not sure if you could get them as cheap elsewhere, I lucked out with O2, but worth hunting around for!

I actually ended up on settling on the Sony MDR-RF865RK
It gets me 25 hours of battery life, 100m distance and charging to full takes 3.5 hours .
It only set me back £65, so I'm not so fussed about it ;P

have u tried the 100m distance? as far as i know, bluetooth is best indoors, but even then for only 10m.

Well, I think the 100m distance is for people with backyards that they need to mow every week And luckily I do not have a backyard
But still the feature is pretty cool ^^ The only bad thing is that I don't know how to connect these headphones to my TV -.-

Anyone tried the HTC Car Stereoclip?

I was planning to buy a belkin BT to AUX adapter in my car + holder so I can enjoy GPS and music without wires, though I found by accident this HTC Car Stereoclip on the official HTC website.
I want to know i someone tried it and if it's reliable

+1
What I've read about it is that it sound is supposed to stream through it in very high quality
Would be interesting to know how practical it is.
Sent from my HTC One X using XDA

I wonder where we can buy it now in Paris?

I'm planning to get one of these Belkin Gizmos and report back: http://www.belkin.com/IWCatProductPage.process?Product_Id=525857

I was going to buy the same Belkin,but the cables and 12v charger are uglier than the ''nude'' stereoclip.
I received an answer from HTC support, the stereoclip should stream all audio from the One X,included videos
Instead of buying a 600$ Pioneer to have video clips and concerts in your car(and lose wheel controls) I will get the stereoclip + official stand.
The bad news is that HTC will not release them in Europe/Asia before June,even mid June

Still nobody?
I want to know if it's good in playing videos and streaming the sound over the car's speaker?

I'll be getting mine in the next week. I can test and let you know!

So the carclip works well. It honestly sounds just as good as a wired connection. Also, all media will play through the receiver, meaning anything that normally is controlled by "media volume" will play through the car stereo. However, when you receive a call, it will revert back to the phone's on earpiece. My phone is affected by the poor wifi/bluetooth connection issue so the range is fairly small ~1 foot. However, when I press down on the back of the phone the range improves to > 2 feet easily. Also, I can't get my phone to autopair, but that may be due to the weak connection.

I have had it for about 10 days now. It works very well. I have tried it with both my One X and my iPhone 4s. It will pair with up to 8 devices.The sound is awesome, just as good as a CD to my ears. It lasts about 5-6hrs on a charge. I have not had any problems with it cutting out. If you are interested in this....I would say "Buy it". I am VERY impressed with it! It works with video also.

Just curious, can the device be charged while being used at the same time?

What sort of prices are people paying? Full rrp of £50?

I paid a little less than that from here http://shop.htcpedia.com/htc-car-stereoclip-audio-bridge-a100.html
I heard that Sprint and AT&T stores here in the US will be selling them for even less than that. ~$50-60

Reviving the topic because we just got it in Lebanon!
Price: 120$
At this price I can buy both stereoclip and htc car holder in Europe!!!
So is it worth buying it after all?
Can you use GPS voice assisted app with it?
Also is it still better than the samsung HS3000?

no bro i don't have time, ill do this in the weekend
feutre haha better find something leathery and nice from a gift shop and glue it using uhu super gel (support leather and rubber)

Honestly get the hs3000, it sounds brilliant, no audio sync issues when watching videos
It works with phone calls, it also has a built in mic, had a few calls with it, I didn't ask how I sounded but they didn't complain at least
It has the play/pause, a phone button to either make calls, answer /hang up etc
Only cost me £30 as well, comes with some crappy head phones, I use the beats in ear ones I got with hox, sounds almost better than when plugged in
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app

The problem is that sammy Lebanon didn't bring it here!
So I must stick with HTC expensive solution...
Now I must choose between Stereoclip + stand = watching video clips,GPS...
Or add the factory Citroen USB Box which add USB plug to my car audio= control music with the wheel buttons + get mp3 tag on the car's screen.Though it will cost 350$.
The good thing of stereoclip is that I will be able to use it with most cars later and any BT device while the citroen usb box will only work with my actual car

Nice Headphones noisehush

Hey guys I wanted to share this headphones I got off Ebay. I have the ibeats but one ear bud broke so I wanted to find a cheaper alternative. And after hours of online searching I came across this nice headphones. I was very surprised that when I put them on they were actually louder than the beats headphones and the sound was almost exactly the same.
Here are some pictures of them.
The NX80

Took the seller about a week and a half for the earbuds to get here. But the packaging was nice and seal.
The headphones have an inline Mic and one button that works great and with headset Droid app. Is perfect.
Again I actually like the sound better on this headphones then my beats.
I'm in no way shape or form associated with noisehush.
Just wanted to share. And feel free to ask any questions.
Edit: I forgot to tell you guys some of the features about them.
Jack is gold plated 3.5mm
Rated power 2mw-10mw
Frequency range 20Hz-20kHz
Cable length 3.9 feet
Impedance 16 ohms
sensitivity 96dB/1mW
Driver unit 8mm
The cable is tangle free. Made of some kind of rubber. Feels kinda sticky to the skin. But I'm very happy with them overall.

Recommend a good bluetooth headset, please?

Hi everybody. I realize this isn't GN specific, but that's the phone I have, so I hope it's OK to post in this forum. I'm looking for a recommendation for a good bluetooth headset. I'm going to be using it to listen to music and podcasts mostly, but will need to take calls from time to time. So, features I'd prefer:
Stereo
"Athletic" design that will stay in while I'm working out or mowing the lawn
Decent noise cancellation so I can use it in my kind-of-noisy car
Preferred price: not more than $70 or $80 (though I'm not afraid to spend more for high quality stuff)
And of course it needs to work with my Galaxy Nexus. Anybody have any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.
Oh, if it's important, I'm currently running Liquid Vicious Toro v4 Jelly Bean.

Ummm
Motorola s9hd or s10hd
I've also heard good stuff about the LG halo (can't remember the name)

Why don't you do some research before you dump your wishlist on XDA. You can find a lot of reviews and tests on google.com.

I've heard good things about the Jaybird Freedom Headphones.

This is what I use and, IMO, it is perfect for both sports/office environment: LG Tone - HBS-700 Wireless Bluetooth Stereo Headset

It is rather stylish, lasts several days of normal use on one charge, comes with both call and volume/track controls, good sound fidelity (not premium but not garbage either - perfect for any background music) and best of all, it tackles behind the shirt collar, so I leave it on all day in the office and it is unnoticeable. It is so light that I keep dropping it on the floor every evening when changing the shirt as I completely forget it is there. Extended Bluetooth range is another plus - I regularly walk with these headphones around the house and it keeps the signal for a good 10-12 yards if unobstructed. Because there is not pressure points on ear inserts, it is good for most active exercises I do (walking, jogging on the treadmill, kayaking). I can not guarantee that it would stay in extreme situations where a lot of shoulder/neck movement is expected.
Call sound fidelity and mic are OK, I've had better in-ear bluetooth headsets but it works in most situations. For example, mic works great in car with very clear sound on the other side, but outside in windy or very noisy environment it picks too much interference comparing to the best headsets. Plus I can register it with two Bluetooth devices simultaneously. At work I have it active with my work Blackberry (don't ask) and my personal Android. So I can listen to Google Music on Android and still pick the call coming to my work cell.

Yeah, I feel like a jerk for asking for thoughts and opinions on an internet forum filled with people who might have actual experience with a product I'm thinking of purchasing. Thanks for straightening me out!
And thanks to everybody who has given me a product suggestion. They're much appreciated. One of the links lead me to the Plantronics Backbeat Go. Anybody have an personal experience with it?

If you want something that will stay in your ear and block out sound get a custom mold done once you pick a headset:
http://www.averysound.com/

I own the backbeat go and the backbeat 903+. The Go takes some time to get used to the fit, but the sound quality is great and background noise is nonexistent. Also very hard to notice and doesn't interfere with anything on your face/neck (ie glasses or necklace PR whatever) like the 903+. However the 903+ is a much more stable fit due to the over the ear.
Either way, great stereo bluetooths for an active lifestyle. One is slimmer and lighter, the other will guarantee a permanent fit until you physically remove it.

Sennheiser MM 550-X. Can be used wired, wirelessly, have apt-x for loseless audio, noise reduction to mute the noise and some more I forgot about. Oh, and you can have phone calls on them as they have 2 microphones. I doubt any other bluetooth headphones can match these.

Add Sony MDR-1RBT to your consideration list.

I'm using BackBeats, and they're pretty darn good. The only issue is being earbuds, their playing battery life is in the vicinity of 3-4 hours.

I use the LG Tone+. They work great and have excellent battery life. The only issue I have is that sometimes they have a flaky connection for no apparent reason.
Before these, I had the jaybird freedom. They worked great until I lost them.
If you are an audiophile, you will probably be disappointed with all bluetooth headphones. You sacrifice a bit of fidelity because bluetooth compresses the signal.
I use mine at the gym. The slight downgrade in sound quality is worth it to be wireless when working out.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but although I've heard Bluetooth 4.0 does suffer reduced audio quality compared to earlier variants, I also believe that the One implements one of the newer Bluetooth audio codecs that cleans things up? Granted, it isn't going to match wired connections (or even better wireless methods), but I have heard it's significantly better.

If you want audio quality, all the blue tooth headsets you should look at is anything with apt X as that will make the sound quality almost sound lossless like a member said. Not many headsets support these thought but I really recommend you get an apt X enabled one. Then you have to look at what's more your style. On ear, in ear or over ear. If you want on ear, there are many option. I owned the jaybird sb2 and really liked them but they messed up on me after six months. Got it replaced no problem. If you are in ear, try the LG tone + or the jaybird freedom. There are many variations of the tone but look for one with apt X codec. Well let me go no further. Just get one that has apt X codec and start reading reviews and seeing what others say about what they like about it. Don't expect many people to talk about apt X. Many don't even have a device with it enabled. The HTC one does have it though. Happy hunting

I just received a set of nextwave bluetooth headphones ($24 on groupon) that I plan on using solely at the gym. I just tried them on rally quickly they fit very well, the sound was good, the connection was good also ( i moved my phone around into all my pockets) and for the price i couldnt go wrong. This is my first set of bluetooth headphones so I dont know what the sound quality is in the other ones.

I just bought a deleycon headset, I can't wait to get my hands on it.

Plantronics 903+, they sound amazing ( really you hear bass in there ), great battery life, very good signal ( you can move around without loosing connection ), and they look and feel superb. I forgot the convinient button placement for controlling your music and taking/placing calls.
Can't be happier with them , plus I bought em for 35USD ( ebay ).
The only con is the audio quality on calls, but other than that it works great in that departmanet as well
Cheers.
