Amplified headset for S3 voice conversations - Galaxy S III Accessories

I'm interested in any recommendations for a headset to make voice conversations LOUDER... Wired or wireless, voice quality is good enough, and I do need a mic. Battery operated would be ideal.
I frequently call a 'help' line that usually gets transfered overseas, and I can't hear a thing in a noisy computer room. Local calls work fine, but once they transfer the call I can't hear very well at all.
The inline amps discussed here would be an inexpensive option, but I don't think they work with a mic. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Have you considered a custom ROM. Several of them will boost call volume.

He can do that with a kernel.Roms that have a kernel as package can boost your volume.I have boosted a bit my speaker and the earphones like full boost! You cant stand to listen music after 20 minutes!!

Bad soundquality when handsfree call

When making a handsfree phonecall by tapping the speaker button on the dialer the sound quality is terrible bad at the end of the receiver. There is a lot of echo and the volume is very low.
However the sound at the speaker of the rhodium is cristal clear while making a handsfree call.
I'm running the phone with a custom rom at the moment, but I don't know if that has anything to do with it.
Some people notice the same behaviour?

[Q] Small Bluetooth Earpiece?

Does anyone know of a Bluetooth earphone that would be about the size of a hearing aid?
The thought behind this is that I would like to be able to hear MS Voice Command notifications unobtrusively. I wouldn't need a microphone most of the time, and would be happy to swap in a full headset on the occasion that I'd need one.
Any suggestions would be welcome!

Test if the headset works with other devices.
Would you buy a Honda Civic and than ***** around because it can't drive like a Ferrari?

[Q] [Acro S] Speakerphone volume lacking

Hello,
I do not use the phone feature very often, but recently I had to take some calls while driving and could hardly understand what the other person is saying, because the speaker phone volume is really low.
Now, of course I set the volume to max and checked every setting I could find related to phone calls. I even went into the service menu and did the speaker tests. There I realized that the speaker phone is using a different speaker as the one that is used to play back music or other sounds. The same sound sample is used in the tests and it is much softer in the speaker phone test compared to the mono or stereo speaker tests.
Is there any hack, setting or configuration file change I can do to use the mono or stereo speaker for the speaker phone feature?
Please help, this is the only gripe with this fine phone I have.
Same problem here.
Solutions, anyone?

Buggy use of microphones when making a call while headphones (without mic) connected

Hi everyone,
2 weeks ago I retired my Galaxy S1 and upgraded to a P6. I love a lot about it, and now with the european P125 upgrade, the wifi connectivity issues seem to be resolved as well.
But one issue still seems to come up:
When I have headphones without a mic connected (in my case, Sennheiser HD-25-1), the call quality as perceived by the recipient is horrible when there is ambient noise present (for example in a bus).
So, whenever I listen to music and I receive a call - when I don't disconnect my headphones and use my P6 like usual, I hear the other person just fine, but he hears the ambient noise much much louder than usual.
When I disconnect the headphones, everything is back to normal.
This wasn't the case with my old SGS...
So I did a few experiments:
- Without ambient noise, the recipient doesn't notice much of a difference whether I use headphones or not
- With ambient noise (simulated by loud radio), when I don't use headphones, the other person hears me fine, much louder than the ambient.
- With ambient noise and connected headphones, my voice is as loud as the ambient noise, so the other person has big troubles understanding me
- Now, when I talk to the *top* of the P6 (right next to the USB port) into the mic that is used to filter out ambient noise during calling, my voice is *louder* than before - so at least that is a small workaround to that
So it seems to me, that when I connect headphones, the upper mic is used only, while without connected headphones, the lower mic is used as primary mic and the upper one is used just for filtering out ambient.
Anyway, it's doing something that I don't want it to do and now I wonder if I can change it
(By the way, I tried with 3 different headphones, doesn't make a difference).
I have a P6 that used to have B606 and now has B125 and it behaved the same for both software versions.
Soooo.. any clues?
regards,

Go to Settings/Sound/Dolby Digital Plus and uncheck it. See if that helps.
It's already unchecked... :/
I have noticed the same problem...
very annoying...
