read few reviews have saying poor audio quality..
If you decide against Bluetooth I highly recommend ZAGG smartbuds! Love them! Better than my £90 phonaks

About the same as my skull candy low riders ( not as much base) but not close to my boss ones but for general use they are good enough. My ears are happy with them.

Jawbone Icon for the car... Plantronics Backbeat 903/906 for the gym. (Stereo bluetooth that wraps around the ear and has a soft cord that wraps behind the neck.)

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.
Anyone use a good Universal Car Dock that will work with the GNex?
Amazon seems to have a decent selection. I just ordered an Exomount. The have a demo video on their site and it looks pretty good.

I ordered a Empire universal mount. Don't buy it. It's advertised with GNex compatibility, the side arms push down the volume keys, even worse, It broke what I was trying to extend the arm. It was only $8, I guess I got what I paid for.

The mount is surprisingly small. The base has some type of sticky element that allows it to attach to multiple surfaces. I'll find out tonight how well it holds up on a car ride.

Hello Jerk82,
How do you like the car mount?
Thanks
I'm wondering if I would be able to mod this with my official GSM Car Dock. My case on the phone (a small/slim TPU case. It's really popular here, I just can't remember the name) has cutouts for the pogo pins, but my phone obviously won't fit into the car dock with the case on.
Something like this would be perfect if I could "enable" the pogo pins.

I wouldn't bother buying a bluetooth headset unless it was APT-X bluetooth codec compatible, which our GSIII is. Unless you're on CM/AOKP then it's not.
APT-X is the new high-definition quality sound codec that makes bluetooth sound MUCH better/cleaner for music.

Isn't mw600 discontinued? There new version of it, the mw1 but it expensive. Anyway my past Bluetooth headset just end up at garbage can, no one here can fix it

I've just ordered an MW600. Will give feedback when I've tested it.
I have a set of mw600 but have only tried them briefly, a couple of months ago, with music. The sound quality was quite good and clear
I also remember they worked better than with my previous HTC phones as they displayed track names when paired with the S3

Ya I went on and ordered them. I got 2 day shipping so they will be here tomorrow according to amazon. I'm just pretty much expecting the clip to break I will just cleanly glue in another more sturdy one and hope it looks good. But from what I read other than the clip it is a great device. Hopefully it can withstand sweat I'm going to abuse this thing hopefully I can squeeze a year out of it.

There's actually a surprising amount of bass.. It's even got a bass port on the back, and the air coming out is impressive.

I purchased the dock. Thanks a lot.
Bought it for ~$20+ on Amazon. Sound quality's better than I expected - somewhat on the level of X-Mini with better clarity. (And it's loud!)
how many types of docks are there ?
I saw a picture of the dock of mz601, and it has HDMI port. But mine doesn't have this, so how many types of docks for Xoom? Tks

There are currently 2 OEM docks from Motorola for the Xoom: The Motorola Speaker Dock HD (89445N), and the Motorola Standard Dock (89444N). These are compatible with all models of the original Xoom except the Family Edition. You must have the Standard Dock, as it does not have a HDMI port. However, the picture you saw must be the Speaker Dock HD, as it has a HDMI port.
I just have to say, I have the dock with speakers and it's the most useless piece of garbage. The speakers couldn't sound worse if they were coming out of a crappy phone

I think that's a bit harsh. Okay, compared to my phone, it's a lot harsh. But no, it's not near as good as, say, my Altec ipod dock. But it's not that bad. And it's worth the discounted price just to use as a dock/charger.
Any link?
Thanks for the advice on the dock

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:

I found the link for the US a while back, it was pretty recent when I say a while back. Maybe a month at best? So, I hope you find the link, I tried to search for the U.S link briefly, but they are definitely worth the buy.

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.
