looking for a little input from people who have (or have tested) any stereo bluetooth headset on the s3.
Background: I had a LG tone+ which i actually loved and it worked perfectly on my One S. Then i decided to get the s3 and this thing cannot stay connected for ANYTHING. i have tried kernels, roms, hacks, pretty much everything. It would stay connected for a little while, but always would lose connection and not reconnect even after i delete and re-add the headset.
Here are my list of thing i would like to have in the headset:
Decent sound (amazing sound would be prefered but i am realistic here )
sweat-proof (at least to some extent)
connects to the s3 consistently
Would prefer $100 or less but would pay more if its THE headset (not sure THE one exists yet though)
BTW, i could care less what call quality is. I may take an occasional cal when working out, but not often enough to care what my voice sounds like to the caller.
If anyone has any thought or experience, i have been eyeing the following ones, but always open to other suggestions:
Jaybird freedom
motorola SF600
plantronics 903+
Thanks for any help!

How about the LG Tone? From reviews, the sound quality isn't quite as good as with the Tone+, but the range is vastly better and it cuts out far less frequently (if at all).
In fact, I've been using the LG Tone headset for 4+ months now. Mostly I use it at the gym while lifting, but have also used it for running, cycling, and making phone calls around the house (phone is 20+ feet away when I'm talking on the phone). Sometimes I make phone calls while at the gym too (but phone is in my pocket).
I don't think there has been a single time where they have cut out. The sound isn't what I would call "stellar", but it's not majorly worse than the headphone port on the S3. And my comparison point is a wired Sennheiser earbud set.

I second this. I had my LG Tone for over a year before I broke it. I listened to it for at least 10 hours a day while at work. Never disconnected and battery life was great.

Huh.. i know this is a dumb question, but you are using this on your s3 right?? lol the strage thing about the tone+ is it works on my wifes one s almost flawlessly.
How is the sound quality? Sufficient? Not severely lacking in any area? The tone+ had really great sound was actually pretty impressed.
Thanks!! :good:

If you read through the reviews on Amazon, there is at least one review between the Tone and Tone+. One guy said that although the Tone+ sounded a little better, the Tone+ eventually got shelved in favor of the Tone because of the poor connectivity of his Tone+.
The Tone sounds good enough to me, though the bass is be a bit lacking. When I'm working out I could care less if the audio is superb.
If you consider yourself an audiophile you shouldn't even consider BT headphones (IMO).
You might consider using a standalone bluetooth receiver (like this or this) and a pair of regular earphones/headphones.
I personally have the Antec one and use it with my Sennheiser CX270 earphones, which works well at the gym.
I have the Motorola S-11HD
Awesome sound, 80 bucks APT-X Codec, 5 minutes to charge, will connect every time and has a range of over 50 feet.
I have the Jaybird and I'd say it's a good choice. Never had any problems connecting to my S3 though some reviews claim the blue tooth is "weak" because of the small antenna size. I wear it on my right arm (for running) or in my pocket. It's worked fine for 4 months of running 3 times a week so far. It has a lifetime warranty for sweat so I'm not too worried about that. The on/off button is less than ideal to push because of it's stiffness and the geometry of the ear bud but I don't use it for calls so that isn't very important to me It has a lot of options for getting the correct fit which is nice. I'm guessing I get about 5-6 hours of play time from each charge (I charge weekly so I rarely run into this).
Overall I'd say the Jaybird is a good option.

I'm thinking of getting a Bluetooth stereo headset, mainly for running. Any recommendations?
I am using a Motorola HT820 with pleasure.
It is very comfortable and has a good sound.
I sometimes do have a high frequency interferense, but that's not bothering me.
More BT headsets have this issue, as you can read here: link
But you say you need it for running.
Keep in mind that the Motorola (and others) are worn horizontally on your ears.
I don't know if they keep in place when running.
I can imagine they start to lower by every step.
Never had a problem with my Motorolla HT820, plus it only cost $75. I am pretty sure Jabra's are more expensive.

Yes, it does stay on when you are running. It has ear hooks to sit comfortably on your ear. Pictures here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=46786
Does you Motorola HT820 not produce some high pitch noise? That's what I've gathered from my research on the Internet.

I've never encountered this high pitched sound. So far, no complaints on mine.
Hi there.
I did encounter the high-pitch noise you mention, so much that I had to return the Motorola, which was otherwise an *awesome* product on all respects.
But I'm not so sure the problem necessarily comes from the headset... I wouldn't be surprised if it were the signal from the Universal that causes this high-frequency noise. Unfortunately, I didn't keep it long enough to try reverting back to radio ROM version 1.09 (as I use v1.11) or to try it with other bluetooth stereo sources.
They indeed are fairly heavy, though, and I'm not sure if they'd remain comfortably on the ears if used when jogging.
Besides, as they have a closed design, it is potentially dangerous to wear them in urban areas, for instance.
My HT820s don't have a high pitch noise either. I paid full US retail for mine, $129.99 @ Radioshack because they were the only ones in town that had them in stock and I do not trust Ebay with Motorola products. Half of them are knock offs :lol:
I really like my HT820s, they sound pretty good, comfy for a 2-hour period or so, and battery life is superb.
I bought O2 exec while ago and been using it daily. such a wonderful device, it answered to every demands that my business required. Love to have a wireless headset to listen to music so I just bought blueant X5 bluetooth headset. One word, WOW, sound is so clear and it does have a good bass response. Compare this with Moto HT820, I think it does have better quality. Picked it up at 155 AUD at landmark Computer shop ( RRP is 199 AUD).
Advantage
1. Good bass response
2. Accessories bundle in one package
( including audio streamer device which I find the most advantageous compare to others products )
3. Long lasting batteries ( I was playing music non-stop for 11 hours and there is still some left in batteries that I think it can go over 12 hours without any problem )
4. Quite good user manual ( even my girlfriend can follow its instruction to setup )
I didn't have problem with high pitch noise when it is near my computer or other mobile phone.
155 AUD is also the cheapest price I can find. you need to do a bit of bargain cuz they ask for 165 Aud.
Cheers
I have a Jabra BT620s and it's working great. The sound is awsome (phone and MP3) and A2DP is no problem at all.
Batterylife is very good (+/- 12 hrs on one charge)
Buttons on the headset for phone and mediaplayer.
Sound is very good (no weird noise or high pitched things )
And had good reception, I can carry my 9000 in my pocket, without hickups or lags.
Just one weird thing though, if you use the headset, and pickup an incomming call with the button on the phone... the sound goes through the normal internal speaker on the 9000 and NOT the headset :S But if you use the headset button, no problems
edit:
The price € 99,-- (at www.pdashop.nl)
another edit:
You can charge the headset via USB! And it can work as a headset on a computer via the USB cable.

you could always google search "SE MW600 review" and see what people say. And if you want end users try punching in "amazon SE MW600 review" and see what they are saying.
Personally i use an older Motorola ear bud that serves the purpose.

I Work At best buy and I'm using the Plantronics 975 its a great device very comfortable with great noise cancellation
plantronics 855 is a great headset. a2dp stereo bluetooth and a removable earpiece.
I've been using mine with a Jawbone Icon (Rogue) and I haven't had any issues. It's light, stylish and very functional.
I don't know if these are the "best" but I have the Motorola behind the neck ROKRs, and like them.

imho
Plantronics Voyager Pro +
Willing to bet you one dollar paypal that it's the best bluetooth you've ever owned.
Reasons:
Gel air filled custom ear fittings *these actually screw on too , very impressive
long mic boom (so people can actually hear you)
not one person to date has said I sound like sh*t (FINALLY)
a2dp support
status updates by pressing power button (announces battery time remaining)
press and hold outer button, it calls a toll free number that you can configure on a website to hookup with your e-mail, it reads rss feeds, news.
I also work for t-mobile and I've used bluetooth headsets ranging from 29.99 to 199.99, some of them I thought were amazing (motorola backbeats) but the problem always came down to whoever I was talking on the phone saying
"dude are you on bluetoooth?"
me: yes
"you sound like sh*t"
me: YARGGGGG HOW MUCH MONEY DO I HAVE TO SPEND TO SOUND DECENT
Many beg to differ, but I've owned the same pair of rocketfish headsets for almost two years now...very good to me with many sweaty head days at the gym.

I know this is a late reply but I thought I would throw in my 2 cents on the topic.
I was looking for something to listen to music while at work (desk job), working out, etc.
I ended up buying the Motorola S305 from Amazon (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002BH3I9U)
I have had these now since February and I am extremely happy with them.
PROS
Comfortable to wear
Decent sound quality
Easy to use controls
Phone headset is has good call quality. Others can hear me as if i'm on the handset
Micro USB charger, same as phone
low cost
CONS
Foam earpieces soak up sweat
no noise cancellation
Overall, for $35.00, you can't go wrong!
Plantronics seems to be the winner. I have both 925 and 975. Both are optimal and work fantastically.
Now my 925 is paired with my HD2, and the 975 with MT4G.
Are any of these recommended for both phone calls and for working out (sweat resistant)? I'm just mainly looking for headphones for working out minus the dang cord. Also if I get a phone call when I'm working out or shooting basketball, I wanna be able to answer without stopping.

bump... anyone have an opinion? Just waitin to buy one for some input from people who I actually trust lol
I've owned the Plantronics BackBeat 906 for almost a year and have had mixed results with both a G1 and a MT4G.
It can be so comfortable that I forget I'm wearing it. But sometimes the earbuds are loose, mostly when worn under bicycle helmet straps. Because it's loose, I can't hear music very well.
Audio sounds great. Convenient controls. Haven't figured out how to skip a song on Pandora or a podcast on Listen though. Clicking play sometimes starts a saved voicemail rather than Google Listen or Pandora. I'm not sure how to define the "default" media app in Android.
Paring is hit-or-miss. Often it pairs with just the phone audio and not the media audio. This happened more on the T-Mobile ROM than it does on Cyanogenmod 7, but still happens. The solution is a cumbersome opening of the BT settings, long-press the device, un-check and then re-check Media Audio.
Reception is good if the phone is within 20-30 feet (the advertised range.) Reception is horrible if the phone is in a pocket. I have a backpack with a very high pocket and that usually works, unless I turn my head to the left. It is VERY annoying.
Here's what I sent to Panasonic:
I own a G1 Android-powered phone and about 50% of the time when I turn on my BackBeat 906 it syncs with the phone audio, but not the media. Is there some trick to get it to sync with both?
Also, the reception is so poor that when the phone is in my pocket the audio drops out completely. I am tall, but much less than 30' tall.

Their response:
Please try a reset...press and hold the power button on the headphones....and while you are doing that, please connect the charger to the Backbeats until you see a blue or red solid light and then release the button.....let it charge for an extra 30 seconds and then try to use them
Also, delete the headset from your cell phone's list of paired devices. Once deleted, make sure to power your phone completely off. Then power it back on. (This will reset the Bluetooth stack in the BT software on the phone). Then re-pair the headset with your phone.
If this does not fix your issue, my suggestion is to try pairing the headset to another cell phone, if possible. If the issue continues with the second phone, you will need to replace the headset. If your headset connects properly to the second phone, then the problem may be with the first phone rather than the headset.

...did not help. I still struggle with piss-poor reception when the phone is in a pocket.
well what frickin good is a bluetooth headphone set if you can't have the phone in your pocket lol
Yes Rosebud1, it is extremely frustrating! It's fine sitting on a desk, but for cycling, running, or walking I would not recommend this headset.
Thanks for the reply. What horrible customer service too!!
Yeah, it was a pretty useless response. I suspect it's just a horrid design flaw that they know they can't fix, so sending the customer on a wild goose-chase delays the inevitable.
U should check out the jabra clipper. I use it when I work out n its awesome

I use the Moto S305 headphones. Bought them 2 years ago for $40 Canadian fit well for me and decent range (prob 20-30 ft or more if you have the sight line)
The audio quality is acceptable...Not alot of bass but acceptable for a headphone(i listen to techno/dance/alternative)
i get roughly 8-10 hours before i need to recharge ( so once a week as i commute 2 hours a day)
hard to beat for the price - paid 40 dollars Canadian.
I did try some sony full can headphones(not sold anymore) and they had much better bass(expected) but costed 99.99 so i settled with the cheaper option. There were also a few in ear sets but i personally cant stand ear buds(dont like the feeling)

i second the jaybird freedoms. i tried the moto ones and they actually hurt my head. i wore them an entire 10 minutes before i decided they weren't for me. i picked up the freedoms in place and there's been no issues with them. my only minor grievance is they charge with a mini usb, it would have been so much easier if they used micro since that's pretty much the standard now.
I bought the lg tone hbs-700 bt headset and im liking it pretty well. I work for a telephone company as a service tech so im always out and about, it serves me well
only thing i wish is that it would have more bass i haven't tried using a program to set the eq yet ive owned them for about 3 weeks and use them everyday what i really like about them is that they work great for making phone calls even in the wind i can put the band under my shirt and the people can hear me fine and it cuts the wind out.
I have a pair of Beats Wireless by Dre, i was quite skeptical but they last an incredibly long time and recharge quickly. audio quality is superb as well as range between both my Macbook pro and Galaxy Nexus LTE. the only issue at the moment is on some older Bluetooth types (anything below 3.0) the audio stutters. The company is troubleshooting the issues. (my father works there). they are a little pricey (280$) but I'm really happy with mine, they are comfortable and look stylish too. I get lots of comments at work!
Check out the Tenqa REMXD Bluetooth headphones if you're looking for a style like Beats. They're only $39 with free shipping on Amazon.
I've had pretty bad luck across the board with several bluetooth headsets I've tried through the years. Always seemed dependent on phone I was using, had to have it within like 2 feet of the phone for a solid connection...and even with solid connection voice quality was always poor, complaints on both ends. Between cell call quality never being exactly HD, adding in the poor bluetooth compression other companies were using was just too much. One in four words I wouldn't be able to understand, and between the extra noise the mic would pick up (in spite of all having "dual mics with proprietary noise cancelling algorithm!!!!111") the other person would have trouble understanding me. So I had to take care not to speak too fast, speak slowly, clearly. Far too much trouble.
This is the first headset I haven't had any of those problems with. I couldn't be happier. I regularly ask people how I sound and they say "great"; and the other line always comes through loud and clear.
I'm not sure if it's similar bluetooth stack implementation, and I haven't tested this with other phones; but with the Nexus 5 it's fantastic sound quality, noise cancelling, solid connection (even from pocket I want to say but I usually give bluetooth the 3 feet and line of sight regardless when on phone).
It's the LG HBM-235, linked below
ok I'm trying to link it but I might be spamming. Will update after more posts. You can find it on Amazon.

Tbh i dont like to use 3.5mm headphons with the adapter because of comfort and sound quality.
Thats why I would like to have a nice wired (Type C) or / and good bluetooth in-ear headphones.
Im looking for cheap but good sounding earphones. Any hints?
Actually i guess im going to get Meizu EP51 as bluetooth earphones for running and gym. And now im searching for great wired type c phones.
Let me know, which one you'll get.

for Bluetooth go with a good aptx or aptx-hd headphones/earphones

Bluetooth 5 has a range 120 to 140 feet, as apposed to 33 feet with most 4.1 bluetooth devices. But you will need a bluetooth device that matches the bluetooth accessory to get the distance. There are also other enhancements such as multiple devices can be used at the same time. I read an articel on this a few weeks ago. I hope my memory has given you some big enhancements with bluetooth 5.

Bose sound sport wireless for the win. They are awesome sound quality. 150 bucks. In my opinion the new truly wireless 250 dollar ones aren't worth it.
I bought these when I was waiting on my Essential to come, and they actually worked really well. Wasn't sure about the whole noise cancelling thing, but since they don't need to be charged separately (the phone powers the noise cancelling), I figured I would give them a shot. Really liked them, but ended up returning the Essential in favor of the 2 XL, so now I'm just hoping they're compatible, but I'm hoping that won't be an issue...they're not the most comfortable, since they have the large rubber things so they stay in place for active folks (I'm not one of them), but I got used to them. And the noise cancelling and ambient noise feature are actually pretty useful. But they've been sitting dormant since I returned the Essential and came back to good old Shamu (If only I could find a reverse 3.5mm -> USB-C adapter hahah). The fact that I got them for like $80 (down from $200 which is just ridiculous) made it a pretty good deal in my mind. The 17th can't come soon enough!
PS I wanted earbuds and didn't want wireless, or anything that needed to be charged, but the options seem to be extremely limited at this point

I ordered these https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06Y686X78/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_ep_dp_Qa53zbXQQ9TVS - TaoTronics Bluetooth Headphones Model Ft-bh16 for a temporary pair and backup.

Yep, I love mine. They sound REALLY good for just being little earbuds. I've had very nice over-ear headphones, currently have a pair of AiAiAi's, and the fit beats are pretty good! Jump rope is the only thing I've found that makes them budge. Floor workouts, everything else they don't move.

Another agreed, they are excellent for my HIIT cardio workouts and reasonable price!
I love my PowerBeats 2. I previously tested a bunch of different Bluetooth headphones for the gym and these are the only ones that stay in my ears consistently and have excellent sound. Battery life is around 8 hours and the Bluetooth connection distance is quite good. I can put my phone on a ledge and work my way through a ~100ft area for the weights and never lose signal.
If I decide to go with the Pixel 2 XL (still debating) I'll be getting the PowerBeats 3 for the gym and leave my PowerBeats 2 at my office desk. One area of contention with the loss of the headphone jack is that I work from home full time and have various clients calling me multiple times a day. So I usually have a set of wired headphones sitting on my desk that I can quickly plug in before answering the phone. With the 2 XL I won't have that option so I'll resort to the PowerBeats 2 to always be ready to quickly turn on and pair.
For those wondering, the PowerBeats 3 are essentially the same as the previous generation but with an even greater Bluetooth signal range and longer battery life.
I have been using the Samsung Gear Circle for years. They sounds great, stay in my ear while at the gym and the battery seems to last forever.

I have the Plantronics Backbeat Fit, and I love them. They sound really good (not premium, high-end I don't think), they don't move around when I'm working out, and they are super comfortable. They have a new gen out too. I think I paid $65-70 for them open box?
I checked out reviews for all of the major headphone brands, also tried out a couple cheaper ones. Most did not fair well in reviews except this set, and the others I tried were not good.
Anyway, check out the link below.

These headphones have lasted through 2 washes for me. They sound great if you squeeze them into your ear canal, but I can't think of a way to keepnthem in like that. Otherwise they are great because they hang on and don't fall out.
