Small bluetooth earpiece?

Work has recently banned heaphones (Health and safety) so I am after a small bluetooth earpiece, the smaller and more discreet the better.
This Motorola is the best I have come across.
I have a bluetooth earpiece at the moment but for what ever reason it only works with calls, it can't stream music, are they all like this?

Just check that it has A2DP support, for your music needs!

thanks a lot

You could also grow your hair out long enough to cover your ears

Man u realy should check out some cheep china bt headsets. Motorola cant dream of making some thing which is more small. And at low price. A2dp may not be present. But u can make calls. Here in india we have those. About 200 inr. Ie less than 5$!!!

Its terrible. I hate my S-10 HD's. They sound terrible with terrible bass and they are very uncomfortable. The S-9 HD's were much much better imo. The sound quality was better and it was slightly more comfortable. They both take a lot of getting used to. Idk why Motorola would make a product that is worse than the one before it.
Are the freedom jaybird headphones good? I think I will buy that next time. Motorola is falling off man. I hope Google helps them see the light.

Jaybird Freedom
Check out Jaybird Freedom's. Best headphones all around that I've owned. Includes a mic too.

They work just fine with the Nexus. The main reason I picked these up was the sweat-proof guaranty. I read some reviews for other headsets saying that they would crap out after a couple of uses while doing any type of exercise. The two issue I see with these is the left ear sounds a little louder than the right, the other is that when the battery is low, you get a warning every 30 seconds. The warning doesn't come untill the battery is really about to die.

My opinion is to purchase this:
Jabra Clipper
I purchased a couple of bluetooth headsets but they never really compared to the options you get with regular headsets. This options, you don't have to choose. I use it while running/working out and provide a great compromise.

If you're a runner or sweat heavily then I would recommend against any bluetooth headphones that go into your ear. I have had 3 S9's go out on me and I heard the issue is not fixed in the S10's either. I had looked for other options but most of what I read lead down the same road. If you sweat a lot then these BT headphones will short out.
The best option for me was either the jabra clipper or the sony ericcson mw600. I went with the Mw600 which allows me to use my own headphones and obviously even if i sweat on those it won't short out the bluetooth device since it's no where near my ears.

Uneven sound output in earphones

Hello,
I bought senheizer earphones to use with my s3. However it seems that the left side gives a reduced sound. I would not have not noticed but sometimes the sound in that ear piece increases. Hence I noticed. Also I checked my earphones with other sound output devices and have confirmed that the earphone are working fine.
I read somewhere that the 3.5 mm jack is an exact fit. Which might cause a connection issue. If that is correct can someone suggest a solution. If that's not the case is there a defect with my phone?
This same problem occurs less frequently with original Samsung earphones.
Thanks in advance.

I had the same issue with my OMX adidas sennheiser headphones and I was able to resolve the issue by purchasing an external control or an apple trrs to android trrs connector. Heres an article why there are problems...

You can double check this issue by plugging in the Factory Headphones that came with the phone(TRRS) ( do not use apple headphones, or beats headphones, because apple uses a different wiring for TRRS Jacks).
heres some options for you. If you know how to solder, you can find diagrams with this link

Also, you can check Radioshack or Best Buy. They sell an extension to add controls to any headset, which will convert your TRS to TRRS, if its an android compatible headset. Good Luck!

I'm using a pair sennheiser cx 280 which has a trs connection. oddly enough ive had the left sound come and go randomly. so far it doesnt seem to be a hardware issue because i will listen to pandora and might have the issue and then when I switch to google music it will work just fine or vice versa. no amount of wiggling or replugging can reproduce the issue so it leads me to believe there might be a software issue? or im just going crazy

I don't think you can buy the stock ones with red tips unless someone sells them to you. I do plan on buying these anyway since they have volume control whilst the stock ones with the red tips don't. Hopefully, these sound at least as good as the stock headset.

Volume control won't work. Apparently Apple has a lock down on that technology, so regardless of what headset you buy, you won't be able to use the in-line volume rocker. Only the center button to play and pause music and answer/end calls. I asked this question to a Product Specialist at HTC and that was the explanation I got.

Edit: The above headset does indeed control volume on the HTC One

I agree. There's not much in the mobile world that they haven't tried to scoop up in patents. It's literally one of the most miniscule things, and God Forbid anyone makes it happen.

What I mean is that apple doesnot have that kind of patent. there is 2 different implementations of the function. apple uses another and.everyone else the other. It's called AHJ or something. That's why most of these control headphones don't work because they use the version that Apple uses

Hmmm definitely need clarification. Reason being, none of my one button headsets can change tracks with a double press. Even with headset button controllers, if I use the stock app I can't do it. Works fine with Player Pro, Poweramp and GoneMad. Hmm the S4a ii's are good, but at that price I'd probably go for some A161P's or maybe stretch a bit and just go out and get the Klispch X10i's. Now the X10i's are awesome!

Bluetooth ones will more than likely have all controls (volume and answer buttons) working. I strongly recommend the Apple Earpods though if you care about the microphone. I have tried many highly praised wired/BT headsets and none of them have usable mics on the N5.

http://www.amazon.co.uk/CredDeal-X-Series-Foldable-Bluetooth-Headphones/dp/B00CQ2W20Q
Currently using these Bluetooth 4.0 Headphones with volume adjust buttons, mic, and a power button. Relatively simple. One piece of wire that connects the two pair of headphones and a small battery in the two earbuds that can play about 4-5 hours of music streaming over Bluetooth. I usually work out with these, so I had to get a pair of Bluetooth headphones that are light! So I can testify to their quality! Sound is solid as well, the sound is fairly close to my Klipsch S4 (II) earbuds. Headphones? Meh, I never buy bluetooth for those haha.
I couldn't find the US link to them, but I figured this should be a good lead. :victory:

These headphones are better sound quality and cheaper. They also come with 3 button controls. This is a way better buy then spending on 60 monsters. I'm an audiophile and use this for the gym and to beat up. My regular studio headphones are vmoda m100s if that helps you identify my music quality.

Yeah man I was surprised by them when I got them. I found them on eBay and I tuned them in viper4android and I was blown away. Really good headphones for beaters.

Yeah, I'm not an "audiophile" (I really, REALLY hate that word) but I am an audio enthusiast (been in the audio industry for 15+ years), and I gotta recommend staying away from anything Monster or Beats branded. You are paying 10% for the headphone, 90% for the brand, and they generally sound like crap.
You want good buds for a good price, go with Yuin. IEMs- Shure or Westone. Cans- Sony, Beyerdynamic, higher end Sennheiser (their low end is crap), Grado, some AKG, HiFiMan, certain V-Modas. Portable supra aurals- Ultrasone has some good ones and the Koss Porta Pro's are pretty much unparalleled for their price and I'm pretty sure that they have ones with mics and controls now.
Bottom line, if they are mainstream and all your friends say to buy them, don't. The best values can be found in brands that don't spend millions on advertising.
