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 ?

Thank You guys for your help. I read thread and finds it useful.

Flashed ics, now headset no longer works.

Title says it all. Before flashing, headset worked, with the exception of the volume controls, now nothing... Just a warning. Btw I now have 2 Sony branded headsets that do not work with this phone. Why can't there be one standard???

Works fine for me. Sure your headphones arent dead? Backup and reflash is always an option as well

I'm having the same problem. I have Klipsch X10i headphones which have iPhone controls. When I plugged them in with GB it would say some functions of the headset were not available but they worked, just not the buttons of course. Now when I plug them in nothing happens. The phone pretends there's nothing connected. The Xperia S was also known to do this with iPhone headphones.

Yeah, this was the same for me. My old headset was for my Sony X10, never worked on Ion. New headset is Sony brand (for iPhone) worked (without button control) until I flashed ics.

One way to get around this is to use a headphone extension cable. It's annoying, but it works. I'm pretty sure if you put tape around the data band it would have the same effect, but I'm worried about it falling off inside the phone and breaking the port. I suppose yet another solution would be to get the MW600 Bluetooth adapter and run them that way.

Thanks, but I just went ahead and got a new set. Skullcandy, they work fine.

keep pressing the vol up/down on the headset while plug it into the phone, then it will work fine.

Hahaha I can't believe this worked! I just hold down volume up while plugging it in and it works! As a bonus the play/pause button works, and double tapping it works for skipping tracks. Haha, nice hack.

Any thoughts on a nexus one headset not working after flashing ics? It worked with gingerbread (well the controls didn't, but I did get sound out of them). With ics it doesn't even act like I plugged anything in. The headset doesn't have any volume controls, and the skip track buttons do nothing.
I've tested the headset on another phone and they still work. I've also reflashed ics to see if that would help (well help this and a random rebooting issue I've been having).

I used another set of headphones, and they worked. It's not a headset like the ones I'm trying to use, just plain headphones. LiveWare sees the headphones just fine and sound comes out of them. The headset however does nothing. LiveWare doesn't even see them. As stated before, the headset works just fine with other phones so I'm kind of at a loss as to what exactly to do about it.

It seems that the headset has to have volume controls to actually be seen by the phone for some reason. Just tried my fiancee's iPhone headset and it worked as long as I was holding one of the volume controls while plugging it in. Kind of disappointing, but maybe once we have an unlocked bootloader and custom ROMs I will be able to use my Nexus One headset :crying:

Power Beats by Dre mic not working with HTX One X

The HOX has Beats Audio inside but somehow I'm not able to fully use my Power Beats with my phone as the mic work work most of the time. I actually got it to work once after resetting the device with the headset plugged in, but since then, nothing.
The original headset works perfectly, but still I would love to be able to use my regular headset with my phone. Any fix

well it should work without any problems but if you are rooted then you can try this mod:
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1692233
its effect is system wide and
u can also goto your music and play any song and then click on the 3 dots on top right corner after that you will find an option for sound enhancer
there you can choose beats audio or other options{ may be this option is on stock ROM also} u can try checking it

on and off
Hello all,
After a few more tries, here what I picked up: While plugging my power beats to the One X, the "headset+mic" icon could be replaced by the "headset" icon. When it's the latter, the mic works flawlessly. Whenever the "headset+mic" icon is displayed, then the mic won't work.
Weird, especially when it should at least be the other way around. The question is, what can cause my phone to recognize the same headset as a regular headset or as a headset+mic?

What is your Rom code? I think you are using AT&T or Tegra 3 Chip?

Is everyone aware of most beats (except for HTC editions) are made for iPhone and iPods? That means volume.buttons on there will not work, the Mic might work but since its not native to android there will be some bugs

I can't seem to find the ROM code ... @ZeroInfinity, I understand that and that's why i'd like to pinpoint the bug causing this and hopefully find a fix for it. If it wasn't working altogether I wouldn't even bother. But when it works then don't, I guess there's a logic behind it

No actual "rom" section mentionned

I opened a thread about the same problem not so long ago as I searched for a solution and not seen this thread.. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1860611
It only occurred when I updated to 2.17.. On 1.28 before hand the beats worked flawless! Just hope it's fixed in next update (miss my daily music!).. Works sometimes just takes a good few times (unplugging headphone/plugging in headphone) and have give up as i don't want to damage my audio jack!

Related issue. . .
So I have an HTC One X+ and powerbeats. My issues/question is this--can I completely disable the inline remote? Because when I wear mine in the gym, after a while (clearly related to perspiration/moisture) the music player will start to randomly skip to the next track. I love the sound/fit of the headphones but it's unbelievably annoying to have it just start to skip 2-3-4 songs at a time while I'm running! I don't need/use the mic/controls so I'd be happy to just simply turn them off.
Any and all thoughts would be greatly appreciated!

[Q] Problem with my Samsung earphones - Audio redirects itself?

So I just got a new pair of Samsung earphones with a mic from Amazon. My rom is Beanstalk-4.4.2_r1-v205 and kernel is 3.0 1-1-UBER-4.1. When I fire up apollo and play music, the earphones work fine. However, when I press the button to go to the home screen, the audio redirects itself to the phones speaker. I tried playing my music from the Apollo widget on the home screen and it works fine, BUT when I go to a different app (like SMS), the music redirects itself from my earphones to the phone's speaker.
Any ideas on what the problem is? Did I receive a pair of faulty earphones?

I don't think it's the headphones. The problem is activated by a change in the software's operation, so it must be software related. As for answers, have none. Sorry ?

Well, interestingly enough, I tried other earphones and they seem to work when I exit to the home screen. Audio still go to earphones on non-Samsung earphones. Also, when I did use my Samsung ones, I could switch apps via task manager and audio would NOT redirect to the speaker. It only happens when I go to the home screen.
I'm going to try to do a clean re-install of my current ROM and Kernel and see what happens. Maybe that's the problem.

Strange… ?

I solved it!
Okay, so after playing around with wiping my device, reinstalling my ROM, cleaning up cache, updating GApps, etc, I finally solved my problem!
It turns out that the launcher I was using on Beanstalk, the Google one, was the one causing the problem. I switched my home launcher to Nova, and -voila- my music stays intact when going to the home screen! I don't exactly know why it is so, but thankfully my new earphones are working with my device and ROM. I was afraid that I couldn't use Beanstalk or my headphones anymore.

I also use that, it works well with wireless beats. Are your headphones bluetooth or wired? I know where to turn the Volume up in the system but only works for Speaker and wired headphones.

Mine are wired. Viper has independent controls

I like the viper as well been using a little over a year now. If you wanted to change the volume you can look in system/etc/default gain.conf
If you open that up with a editor or put onto a computer and open up youll see some default numbers that you can raise and it will make the volume louder.Its pretty easy to understand if you were to open up.It has a description of what numbers are what sound. Im sure your fine with viper but just giving you the option just in case you wanted to learn something.
