Best blue tooth headset.

Anyone to recommend a good Bluetooth headset, a set with music controls 3.5mm jack for your own earphones and a display that would display the id3 tags or file name. Of course be able to answer calls.
I'm using a Nokia one at the moment but its not very responsive, dunno if its because of the old Bluetooth 1.0 compatibility.

Sony MW600.

Thanks for the recommendation, so I bought a set after reading positive reviews. Connection was easy and very quick and responsive. But one fault is that the phone itself starts ringing on incoming calls the and some signals through the headset. Weird doesn't happen on my old slow unresponsive BT headset (Nokia) at least the phone didn't ring just signals through the headset bit embarrassing when your phone goes off and you answer on a BT headset.
Any settings that could fix this?
I have resetted BT pairing and the headset but still same.
Anybody use this with wildfire?

Are you using any custom roms? I remember that cyanogen rom has some options about ringing in headphones, if I am not mistaken.
Also, did you test it on another phone to see if it's behaving the same way ?

I am using Wildpuzzle 0.8. Checked media and phone audio is connected. Have tried it on a Nokia and same thing happens. Can the headset be updated or something? My way round is to mute the phone when I connect the headset but this is so inconvenient when sometimes I forget to reenable sound.

Try this: Do a nandroid back-up and flash CM7. See if the problem still persists.
If not... I`m out of ideas. Maybe try to get a refund?

I have read many threads with same complaint, now realising It's a feature of most new smartphones (dunno whether its just android or not) that phone always rings with Bluetooth headsets just in case for some reason you take out your earphones for some reason.
I'm a little reluctant to switch to cm7 waiting for it to be stable first.

I think it`s normal for a phone to ring via the speaker even with the headset connected. Maybe they just need to add an option for it.
I meant testing CM7, not switching to it completely. A 30 min job to test CM7 and restore nandroid.

Hi
Just got the MW600 as well, very pleased so far.
I have the same issue, phone is ringing as well - whereas it does not really bother me.
There are few things not working well for me, so I was hoping to find here some feedback:
- No Song titles are displayed (not so bad since it is normally clipped in a position where you can not easily check
- the call-button does not work to call somebody, only to take a call
- the play button does not automatically start playing HTC music - but worked with Winamp and Songbird
Any suggestions ?

Original Rom (l have 2.2.1 nie) have Sound quality issue over a2do. HTC support said, I must wait for next update (when they may be fix it)

I'm having an issue with my Plantronics 903+ Bluetooth Headset. They pair and play's music fine , but it cuts out quite alot if i move about. Honestly if I have to sit still I may as well get wired headphones.
I am CM nightly's (71) with the latest radio flashed.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hello,
i use Jabra BT3030
http://www.productwiki.com/jabra-bt3030/
3 years of working, without any problem

Ok, I really start to like the SE MW600 a lot
If you get a call music stops and you can take the call with one button.
Double tapping the call button re-calls the last person you phoned - works good as well.
But I am still not having the ideal media player
Original HTC music player fails to start up automatically when you tab the music button
- but next song/pause works well
Songbird opens automatically, next song/pause/... works well but searching in a track not and it is rather heavy making the phone really slow
Winamp is probably the best, but I still think it is too heavy
Does anybody knows a good light media player with bluetooth support ?

[Q] has anyone ever had this issue with Bluetooth ?

lately I've noticed that when I'm using my jambox my phone will pair fine but there's times that it doesn't register that I turn off my jambox so it'll stay "paired" to my jambox or at least show that it is and it takes a couple of minutes for it to return to normal. Any help will be great. Thanks guys

I'm having the same issue with Ford/Microsoft Sync on CM9 Alpha 2. When I turn the car off and back on bluetooth stops working because the phone shows that its still paired with my car. What ROM are you running.

I am sure the problem pertains to the phone bluetooth. If I drive everyday, it pairs fine with my car bluetooth. But whenever I skip a day to drive or don't drive for more than 48 hours, it would have problem pairing up. I then have to disable and re-enable the bluetooth on the phone in order for them to pair.
I have had no such problem with my previous phone.

Well thanks guys, I'm on blazer 4.1. I think it's actually my Jambox. As if it fails to communicate with my phone at times, like when I turn it off my phone still shows it's connected

I think our phones suck major donkey balls when it comes to BT. I've had many, many random, unexplained occurrences that deal with BT. What you have mentioned is one of them. The one that really ticks me off is where the music player will open even when the bluetooth device that I am using does not have music streaming capability.

Did you ever try to watch Netflix while paired to BT speakers? The sound lags 2 seconds behind the image...
When paired to my car (2012 Ford with Microsoft SYNC) the voice call volume is extremely low. Listening to music while using the phone's default player seems ok. It's not great, but I can live with it.
Compared to my old Blackberry 8350 which was working absolutely perfect on BT, the E4GT is just disappointing.

[Q] Bluetooth Issue when connecting with OEM Car stero

heylo everyone,
experiencing a issue which had become a pain !
i have a ford figo with OEM stero (India) which is an awesome one. i had a SE ARC before i moved to HTC One X and with Arc, once paired, there was absoultely no problem ever to pair it again, all i had to do was to switch the bluetooth on and it used to connect.
with HOX, i have a major issue, the first time, it connected flawlessly, was able to make calls, play music from phone thru bluetooth on the stero system. but then comes the problem! it doesnt work the next time, i tried to delete the pairing on both car and phone but with no joy.. i did a factory reset and it again worked once.. next time, it says its connected, but when i play music, it plays on the phone's speakers, i went to music player settings and tried to select the player as bluetooth but doesnt make any difference... i read couple of people having similar but not same problem, some have crackling issue, some are unable to connect, but this is strange, able to connect but only once.. i havent formatted the phone again for this and its a little cumbersome as all my music is on phone and i always used to use the phone to play music.
any help will be much appericiated

I have the same with an after market Sony.
Really erratic pairing. Always pair's phone but not media.

It works the same as my SGS2 on my Infiniti (Nissan) nav system both for phone and media. The One X has BT 4.0 which I'm assuming is backwards compatible but it might be a challenge with some systems/devices.

Barry, Possibly yes, but i beleive new technology is always backward compatible ..
anyone had a fix ? i read about some bluetooth stack fixes, but looks like it was for a previous HTC device and not HOX..

I can fairly pin the issue down to your car audio not playing nice with Bluetooth 4.0. Yes, its backwards compatible, but, that's not always a guarantee. Get some other Bluetooth 4.0 devices to check.

This same problem here with after market Sony MEX-BT3800U.
Before I use to have Desire HD, which was fine, now it's a nightmare.
Maybe somebody have more luck with different after market model which works perfectly with HOX ?

Mine is a Sony unit too... Possibly that one off the top of my head. It's annoying as sound quality via aux in is awful due to the low volume

Got the same problem in my Mitsubishi Outlander navigation system.Don't know why.Must be the version of the bluetoot that you'r car isn't recognizing it.You can try to do a factory reset of you'r car stereo,i did that the other day and now seems that it's working well,don't know the reason why.I think that it's the cars fault because the bluetooth headset that i use doesn't seem to have any problems working or connecting to my HTC.Even if you have open "slots" in your car to connect you'r phone,the car doesn't whipe the data of the last phones you used on it,that is why i am saying to do a factory reset.I don't know if you can do it yourself,i went with my car at the Mitsubishi Service,they conected the computer,reseted the navigation system,connected my phone and now works.

I find it ridiculous that a £150 Sony head unit has issues, wheras I have a £20 Nokia cheap bluetooth headset that works flawless, thats a good few years old.

Solved ! Bluetooth Issue when connecting with OEM Car music system
Finally this is solved for me after the 1.28.720.10 Update it now connects flawlessly and works like charm everytime anyone else who had problems tried this ?

I havent had the update yet so will have to wait for that to try i guess
Mine takes agaes to pair to car BT and then doesnt connect when in range

Same problem here with a Sony head unit.
Phone profile connects flawlessly every time
Media profile seems random (though I have better luck if I leave the head unit on and switch bluetooth off and on again on the phone)
My software version is 1.28.401.9 so I guess I'll sit tight for an update and hope it cures it. I get nothing new if I try to trigger an update, so it's probably a case of waiting for HTC to pull their fingers out

Mine works great with my Sony head unit and am on 1.26.206.2 (o2) I even stream my music flawlessly phone calls work can you not take ur handset back and say its not working and exchange it for another 1

i have a mazda 3 and i have the same issue! i checked the heck out of these forums and havent seen anyone reporting the same issue i have, i was beginning to wonder if it was just me.....
has anyone else had issues with track advancing etc? not just with cars but with other devices like headphones or bt boomboxes? i wonder if the issue persists across devices.
has anyone gotten this to work with the HOX?

I also have weird experiences about the bluetooth-car connection.
On my desire, when i just get in my car, without doing anything else the phone/car would recognize each other and the music on my desire would start playing in the car instantly.
Now on the HOX, phone part always gets connected, no exceptions, media part gets sometimes connected sometimes not, if it gets connected it sometimes starts playing automatically it sometimes does not, and regardless of it plays automatically or not, i sometimes can use the controls on the steering wheel to skip songs and such, but sometimes i cannot.
Any ideas to what is causing these "sometimes"es?

Im on version 1.28.061.9 and mine doesnt connect at all. When pairing it stays on "pairing" for quite a long time and eventually it pairs but then doesnt connect
Tried a second HOX and its the same with that
Hoping that there will be a future update to fix this
This on the OEM bluetooth on a fiat Panda

Gap & silent during listen music

-when listen music either on HTC music widget or PowerAmp
- got Gap and silent when using Bluetooth headset
- works fine if direct connect to the ONE X
any idea and fix ???

I've yet to see if this works for bluetooth but had a look at the ROMeOS rom and saw this in the build.prop as monx seams to have fixed the stutter: lpa.decode=true
I've set this in my build.prop and will try through the car bluetooth tomorrow.
To edit build.prop in the system folder you will need root access

thanks , buddy , let me know the result.

Unfortunately made no difference for me, will keep digging though as this is annoying when I have a 40 min commute to work each morning and again back.
Anyone have any idea's?
Edit: this doesn't just happen on the beats setting, turning it off makes no difference.

Anyone have any ideas on any fixes yet?

Have the same stutter issue even after 1.28 update connected with my bluetooth MW600.
Seems the problem is device switching to power conserve core. When i play music in background while running GPS in foreground, iam not getting the stutter.

I have the same bluetooth headset, the MW600 and the stutter makes it unusable. I'm on 1.29 stock now and I got to the point that I don't use my MW600 for listening to music anymore, but just wired Sennheisers.
Have you found a solution yet?

I was also planning on buying that Sony thing, but then I found my Nokia BH 214 back. It is now charging and when I'm back home I will test it. If it also stutters, I'm not going to buy a new headset, because it's likely to have the same problems, although that Sony is Bluetooth 3.0, which could make a difference.
I'll let you know the results with the Nokia.

I have stutter problem with sennheiser Bluetooth headphones. Am on stock 1.28, and disabling beats doesn't help (although did help on older version)

I'm running 1.28 & have the same issue with my car kit which is a works supplied Nokia car kit that allows A2DP connections. I'm definitely going to try running the GPS at the same time on my way home from work to see it that fixes it as suggested. I have a usb charger that I plug in so won't be using any extra juice. I'll post back my results.

Sorry for the very late reply, I completely forgot it. Just yet I tested the Nokia BH 214. First my One X couldn't find it, tried for almost 10 minutes. Then I disabled WiFi, just to try, and yes the headset was found. Then I put WiFi back on, but it refused to communicate. Wifi off again, communicating worked. So to say pairing was easy: far from that.
Now the next phase: listening to music. Completely unusable. Very very bad. There's something wrong with output, vocals are washed away and sound like the singer is 100 miles away. While quality isn't an issue with the MW600. But also the gaps. What is also very strange is when the phone is on my desk in line of sight with my headset, the are only a few gaps. But as soon as I put the phone in my pocket, the gaps increase exponentially.
So I think in my case the only thing left is to send the phone back. There must be something wrong with it, my WiFi reception is also very bad. Bluetooth also sucks, so since WiFi and Bluetooth are handled by the same chip, there must be something wrong with it. I really like the phone and sending it back means it's away for 2/3/? weeks, but first I hoped it was something with the software but that hope is fading away.
--------edit: just pissed of by all this. Called HTC and I'm sending it back for repair. Nice phone, but basics like WiFi and Bluetooth must work and they don't. They said it will be back in 7-10 working days. Hope they can keep that promise. --------

Have the same problem with my Jabra Freeway, really annoying to get thos silent gaps when listening to podcasts and music in the car. Tried to run navigation on my way to work today to see if that made any difference but it didn't :-(

I just tried using my Moto S10-HD after reading this, and thought I would tell you my experience. I have alot of music on my phone, and I just hooked up my BT with Wifi on and no issues, so I started to play music and so far 3 songs and no gaps stutter or anything like that. One thing that does happen which prior phones didnt happen is that when the screen goes to stand by after not touching it, there is a .5 second interruption in the song, but thats it I am currently on my forth song and the phone is in "standby" mode and it plays perfectly.
I have the WWE version of the phone using 1.29.401.11 ROM BL unlocked, rooted, and custom stock rom.

Not sure that it helps you but to share my experience; I have occasional stuttering on bluetooth using my Sennheisers if the phone is in my pocket. I found that I can replicate the stuttering if I completely cover the top of the phone with a hand on either side and cupped together at the top - in fact I can cut off bluetooth playback altogether.
This isn't a normal way of holding the phone obviously - but it does count if the phone is in your pocket, there is already some 'resistance/interference' from the surroundings. Other than that, I have great wifi reception, best of any phone I have had.
Could this be a hardware fault? Maybe they just need to boost the bluetooth signal / improve buffering?
I only got my HOX this week, aside from this issue it is great, no other issues - touch wood

Mine seemed to studder when it was in my pocket while I walked my dog. I sent it in for other issues and we'll see if the new one has similar issues.

Same problem here ! Kinda disapointed !

Same problem SonyEricsson HBH-IS800
I also have a lot of stuttering. It appears to be a very weak signal because it works better (though still not flawless) when I have the phone close to the headset.
Putting the phone in my pocket is already far enough for playback to completely stop working.

Bluetooth problem when streaming in car?

None of you guys have any issues with streaming audio music/pandora/google music on your phone to the car? My problem is getting worst and I cant stand it any longer. The music would skip constantly every few seconds making it unbearable. I checked google and few people has problems with it on androidcentral, im surprised no thread for it on here?

No issues here since device came out. Have a uconnect setup in my car and stream everything from my phones BT to the vehicle's BT. My old device did that often, had an older version of BT though I think? I've yet to have issues, sure maybe 1-2 times every week a song might skip a beat but not at all on the regular. If it's a regular occuranxe it could be a bad connection. I would then delete the profile and link from scratch the vehicle and phone's BT.
Also while listening and if it gets bad. Stop the BT connection, then reconnect. Sometimes a reconnection is better than your previous and skips go away. I just turn BT off on my device, wait a few minutes, then turn it back on and let the 2 connect. Try this and the above, those 2 methods should work if not one or the other.

I get static issues if someone calls me while I am listening to bluetooth audio, and then switch back to music. Usually switching to the radio and then back to bluetooth audio resolves this. Try making sure your settings in pairing options are set to allow data transfer between the device and your car. I initially could not even connect my device until I checked off that option.

I used to have the issue with HTC One M7 and Galaxy S4 in my Renault Medianav, but no such issues with the One M8,.

I can semi- validate this issue. I have three Bluetooth devices. My headset for phone calls will get some static if my M8 is also connected to my HTC Stereoclip, but goes away as soon as I'm out of range of the Stereoclip. Because of this, and the fact my Stereoclip runs on battery and often fails to disconnect after I leave car mode, I tried switching out my Stereoclip for the RocketFish Bluetooth Music Receiver.
Now, I don't get the static, but when streaming music through the RocketFish, it skips every 20-40 seconds. I've swapped out the RocketFish twice and have had the same issue each time.
Based on queries on the Android Revolution HD thread, the developers are saying it's a base issue and needs to be fixed by HTC.
I just find it odd that the Stereoclip will steam media without skipping, but third party hardware like the RocketFish does skip. Also, my headset doesn't get the aforementioned static issues with the RocketFish.
Also worth noting I have not had both the Stereoclip and RocketFish paired to my phone at the same time.

Just wanted to second this. Mine isn't that bad, but every so often (3-5 minutes) the music skips about 0.5 seconds. Have tried stopping my navigation app, putting the phone to sleep, and unplugging the charger. Nothing works so far.
Pretty sure it is not a pairing issue since this started the first time I paired my phone to the car stereo.
Needless to say, not happening when listening with headphones or speakers.
Any insight or updates would be very helpful. Thanks.

I have the same problem using a Sony Bluetooth Speaker BTX300.
It's really annoying. It happens with Deezer, Spotify or internal mp3. It does not happen on voice calls.
Maybe it's something related to the Bluetooth bitrate not handled correctly by device ?

Only happens to me in stock radio over bluetooth with the mylink system in the new chevys. No problem with my Kenwood head unit in my Cherokee though

Hi guys,
Resurrecting this thread. I am having skipping/stuttering issues with my phone when streaming using Spotify over bluetooth A2DP.
I've tested this on 3 different bluetooth devices (Volvo, Belkin and another bluetooth speaker).
The problem is very annoying, once the screen goes off, music would slightly pause every 20-30 seconds.
This happens when using Spotify and TuneIn Radio.. so I'm pretty sure it's not an application problem.
Anyone else having the same problem? I'm running 4.4.3 - 2.07.980.2..
Also, I'm pretty sure this only started happening after the latest update from HTC.

I'm using an app that starts playing music as soon as I connect to my cars Bluetooth. Luckily this app also provides "wifi off on connect"
Gonna give this a try. Really hope this fixes the audio drops. Hate it.

So from one day with Wifi off I can definitely tell it doesn't drop audio on Bluetooth streaming anymore.
So turn your Wifi off to fix the m8 ?

Glad it works for you as well, this has fixed the problem for me most of the time. I use the Trigger app to turn off wifi when bluetooth connects.
On another issue which I don't think is related to the above, on my Volvo at random times, I still have severe stuttering issues to the point that you almost can't tell what music is playing. I've been having this since day 1 with the M8 and not from recent fw upgrade as above. I'm not sure whether this is Spotify or the bluetooth stack tho.
Nevertheless, any of the blueooth issues were something I never experienced with Samsung Galaxy S3, Xperia Z or any other phones. HTC!!, are you listening!?!

I have the same problems connecting to my Arcam rBlink at home with my M8. Music dropouts every 20-30 secs. Streaming from my sons M7 is flawlessly.
Stopping Wifi makes it slightly better but is no option since I want to use spotify over wifi.
Could it be a problem with a low bit rate for bluetooth audio?
Arcam gives the advice to increase it for OS X as high as 58.

I am also getting this issue as of late....
I'm using an unrooted Sprint M8 HK phone.
My problem is audio drop out (0.5 sec) constantly. Doesn't make a difference over BlueTooth or the speakers.
It appears that it is related to the phone accessing something during playback which causes the dropout.
It does it when streaming over wif or data... it even does it with audio that I have downloaded to my SD card...
I have uninstalled everything back to when I thought the issues started with no luck.
Anyone with any ideas? I see where some have had this issue and even a hard reset (wipe) didn't solve it.
This doesn't occur on my Verizon M8 which has almost the identical app's installed.

I have an international version M8, bluetooth skips randomly when streaming on car bluetooth and to my sony srs X9 speaker. It seems to happen only with continuos feeds. Mi cousin told me the problem could be that bt device is searching at all times for other devices but since there is no option to stop search i can't be sure.

I am also having problems I have a Scala headset on my crash helmet it doesn't matter if WiFi is on or not when streaming music, It seems to be better with the play music app the car app is annoying because it comes part of htc and I don't know how to disable it without rooting the phone. Has anyone come up with a solution yet? It sounds like an old LP playing with the stylus jumping like a good en.
