I'm looking at the idea of getting a bluetooth headset for riding my bike (the self propelled kind, not a motorbike). I'm not keen on the idea of paying ~$AU100 for something I find is useless, so Im after people's experiences and suggestions.
I'm mostly looking at this for listening to music, so first up if that's a no-go, then I need to know that (I'll be using a BlueAngel).
So, yeah... Any suggested models and any to avoid?
i'm using bluetake
http://www.bluetake.com/products/BT420EX.htm
i'm happy with it
I'm using a pair of Motorola HT820s (kinda heavy, but your ears go numb after a while and you forget it), which serve me well and sound good, but has a CSR chipset so i get easy clipping for A2DP, my coworker uses some BlueWalker ones and he says they're nice, they're lighter than the Motos, but still loud enough. A2DP on those, don't know the chipset though.
Unfortunately, for <$100, you're going to have to go for some dodgy yum-cha solution from Hong Kong, off ebay for 5c and $45 in shipping.
I've been looking around, and decided on the HP Bluetooth Stereo Headphones. I don't want voice functionality, and the HT820's look a little big. I ordered them yesterday, but there are reports of people getting them working with my phone (O2 Mini). Don't look dorky, but don't have wires. Only problem is that people report that the neck cracks, but with enough whining you can get them replaced through warranty. Toshiba are also selling the same headphones rebadged, but they're not out in Australia (yet).
Oh, those HP headphones are $99 from HP, free shipping (for the time being).

Not necessarily; CompUSA occasionally has the Moto HT820 in the $75-$80 range. I picked up a set there for $70 about 6 weeks ago.
nXZen Plus from Gennum works great
I picked up the nXZen Plus after listening to their demo on their web site of their Extreme noise canceling. Works great, lots of extra pieces to make it fit comfortable. Also supports stereo and comes with a extra Mini plug for your second ear. plug the wire from the mini plug into the back of the Bluetooth Headset & you have stereo. Comes with both AC charger & USB charging cable. Bought mine from Compusa. The sales clerk did not know they had them. I show him their web site with the demo. Cost was $ 129.95. I would not have paid that much for my first bluetooth headset, but this is my third and last headset.
Me and Jed D`Lagged were talking $AU, not $US. Jed D`Lagged didnt mention currency, but did mention Australia. I specified $AU in my first post also.
I was going to order the HP headphones earlier today, but didnt because I decided I also want to buy a laptop from HP aswell, but cant afford to this week.
This one named iTech has great sound quality and is in a small form factor, http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=9121031457. I used to use iPhono one, the sound is good but the size is big so this iTech is the only one I found that it's best for both worlds.
I got the HP headphones, and they work "great".
There are still issues (cuts off start of song while it reconnects, occasionally skips) but I'm pretty sure those are stack issues as opposed to issues with the headphones.
I was thinking about buying one of these.
Does anyone else have one? Are they an good?
I have just a basic usb to 3.5 headphone adapter, and I use iPod headphones.
Sounds great to me.

Yea, I bought those and they are being shipped to me right now.
But I think that the stereo bluetooth adapter seems pretty convenient, no?
If HTC shipped a bluetooth adapter like this, I wouldn't complain about the lack of a 3.5mm headphone jack
Or you could just get stereo BT headphones and forget the wires and adapters!

No stereo bluetooth headphones can compare to my Shure earbuds.
Plus I think that most stereo bluetooth headphones are clunky.
Do you have a nice pair though? any recomendations?
I got one from ebay as well. I paid less than that, but it's still the same. They all are manufactured in China. I use mine everyday. Good sound quality, works right out of the box. I haven't really had any problems.
I only have two complaints. 1. You cant use them while charging, as the charger shown in the third picture is plugged into the headphone port. Strange, yes but it works. That is not really that much a problem, because it has great battery life! 2. No matter what I do, I cannot connect it to my computer to stream music from my computer to the A2d2p adapter. (or whatever it's called, lol) If you come up with a solution after you get yours, please post, or email me.
For me, price was an issue. I didn't want to spend a whole lot of money to listen to music from my phone, but I wanted good sound quality. Regular Bluetooth Stereo Headphones are expensive. For me, this was the way to go. I bought this and a pair of Sony wrap around headphones, and I am rockin'. I think you will be pleased.
**edit**
PS - I have attached the manual I got from a Chinese Suppliers site, as one doesn't come with it. At least not with mine. (Maybe thats why I got mine cheaper, lol)
PSS - And you know they are not only headphone adapters, but can be used for calls as well. It is kind of awkward to hold the adapter up to talk to someone, but I usually just clip it on my lapel. OK, done editing now.

Nice! Thank you for the information!
I think I'm going to get one, I just have to be careful because most of the ones they are selling on Ebay only have UK outlet plugins. I live in the US, and it looks like you do too by the picture of your plug.
I have these:
http://www.amazon.com/Sony-DRBT21G-...?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1246133334&sr=8-29
Great sound, comfy and durable as hell.
But I think im going to try out these next as I want something smaller and lighter, Im still shoppin though for a newer pair:

Cool dude. The Voyager ones look nice, but I think I'm gonna go the cheap route and just get the converter.
I have one of these:
http://www.sonyericsson.com/cws/products/accessories/overview/hbh-ds200?cc=CA&lc=en
It's a Sony Ericsson DS-200 which I bought last year specifically so I could plug some decent headphones in!
I think it was fairly expensive - about £50 when I bought it, but it has worked great with anything that I've wanted to pair with it, including my Excalibur.
But it's far better than using a wired headset with a 3.5 jack in my opinion, because if you use "proper" earphones that come with a long-ish cord then combine that with the long-ish cord from the wired headset then it makes for some nightmareish tangles! Using A2DP seems like freedom in comparison!
Highly recommended

Lol about the longish cord, gave up on wired headsets as the ammont of times i'd rip the cord when cycling, i'm using STAK semi enclosed cans made for 3 network they were cheap bout £30 and give loud playback with comfortability and like post above a2dp makes listening to music far more enjoyable skippin tracks in an instant answering calls in an instant...
BT is the deffenat way to go
Then cap it off with PocketPlayer....

I'm using Sennheiser CX300, not audiophile grade by any means but certainly better than bundled headphones or stuff like that, they're great.
I love impressing people on the bus by hiding the A2DP receiver in a pocket and then watching a movie or something on my phone, I've had a few people who were watching over my shoulder anyway ask me how I was listening to the sound! Hehe
Ok after finally trying out some Beats headphones today at bestbuy I decided its time I get myself some nice headphones. I know beats are over rated and I can buy something much cheaper that are better. What are some suggestions..
I was looking at these also Sony MDR-XB500. I hear very nice reviews on them.
Bowers & Wilkins P5's are great, and available from any Best Buy with a Magnolia Home Theater or any Apple Store.
Cheap and mid range.
I have tried many brands of over ear headphones. From value of £60 to £10.
These are IMO the best:
Sony ZX300 Over Ear Headphones
They are cheap, very good sound quality and the best build out of the ones I tried.
Stay away from skullcandy, they are over priced and flimsy have had two expensive headphones from them, both lasted a month or two before being unusable
I personally recommend AKG headphone.They are simply the best
I have an AKG K450
It's somewhere around 70 pounds and they are really really good

Thanks for the help. Im going to look into all the ones mention!
OK so after much research I went with the Sony MDR V55 these things are amazing!
I bought a Sennheiser headphone at amazon and i really love it!!
Please allow me to continue on this topic. Many headset have been suggested here, but none according to my needs.
I'm desperately looking for a headset that would be :
1. small and on-ear
2. foldable
3. with a removable cable
4. with a remote control (more than 1 button) that would be Android-compatible OR that could be made Android-compatible via Headset Button Controller or another app
So far I've found :
- AKG K450 : 1 OK, 2 OK, 3 OK, 4 NOK (but can a compatible remote be found ?)
- AKG K451 : 1 OK, 2 OK, 3 OK, 4 ??? (it has a 3 button remote, it's not natively Android-compatible, but can it be made compatible via HBC or so ?)
- AKG Q460 : 1 OK, 2 OK, 3 OK, 4 ??? (it has a 3 button remote, it's not natively Android-compatible, but can it be made compatible via HBC or so ?)
- Radius 3Stages (HP-OHF11) : 1 OK, 2 OK, 3 OK, 4 NOK (but could a compatible remote be added ?)
- Urban Ears Zinken : 1 OK, 2 OK, 3 OK, 4 NOK (but can a compatible remote be found ?)
For the record my Droid is a rooted Arc S running stock GB (I can go ICS if it was mandatory for this to work).
And when I say "can it be made compatible" I mean "all 3 buttons", not only the central one.
Thanks in advance for your help / tips / etc.
Bowers & Wilkins P5 or P3 fit all of those criteria, except only use of 1 button. I use Headset Button Controller to let that 1 button pause, play, skip, vol up and vol down. P5 retails at $30p. I love mine (not that I paid even 1/10 retail for mine).
I'm sorry buddy, but if "they fit all of those criteria, except..." then "they DON'T fit all of those criteria" in fact...
Besides, they are way too expensive :
http://www.amazon.com/Bowers-Wilkins-Mobile-Stereo-Headphones/dp/B003IHUHGE
http://www.amazon.com/Bowers-Wilkins-P3-Over--Headphones/dp/B0089W0D4E
Any answers to my two previous questions please ?
"Can a compatible remote be found ?"
"Can it be made compatible via HBC or so ?"
Thanks.
I didn't see a price
Many of us sacrifice some function for superior quality. I'd rather not get into how much $ I'm guilty of spending on audio (or receiving goods for free, running a B&W warehouse had its perks).
On the 1 button vs. 3, you should try out with your existing headphones running everything off 1 button, if you haven't yet.
All depends on what ranks highest for you and what music you listen to. If you rank the following and list your price range, I'll be able to help out more.
Price
Function (3 button vs. 1)
Comfort
Sound quality
Also... www.head-fi.org is the BEST website for research on this stuff.
It's very kind of you to try to help. But my search is very clearly stated in my first post. I have 4 criteria, and I don't want a headphone that would be OK in only 3 of the criteria. I need all 4 to be OK, sorry.
In this particular case, quality is not an issue for me (I have other headphones for quality, believe me). Is there a single headset in the world that could satisfy all 4 criteria ?...
And I still need answers to my two previous questions... That's all I need. Thanks in advance.
I don't know of any Android compatible 3-button, portable on-ear headphones, unfortunately. IEMs, there are plenty, but no idea for what you need.
You may be SOL and have to decide what you can do without.
If you're going to find them, it'll either be through Google or Head-Fi.

I totally understand. But in that case, Android itself has a serious problem. How can Android developers and Android device manufacturers let this happen ?
There are plenty of 3-button, portable on-ear headphsets that are iPhone compatible. And it looks like none of them is Android compatible. Not even ONE of them ? That is not normal.
What I don't understand is why. The 3 buttons transmit 3 different signals. Sure, iPhone signals are specific. But they exist, and if they exist then they can be detected, can't they ? Why on earth a software like HBC could not have an auto-learning feature like "press button 1" (and then listen to any incoming signal, detect it, and memorize it), then "press button 2" and "press button 3" ?
I have seen on the Internet hardware modifications of the remotes, with surface-mounted resistors. I'm sorry but I just don't get it. It's totally crazy to be forced to make such hardware modifications to achieve something so simple as making a 3-button remote work with an Android phone. Why couldn't we achieve the same result with a software modification, either with HBC, or within Android itself ? If the problem is the OS itself, then let's modify the OS for God's sake !!
I'd like to discuss this issue with some experts on this matter, to help me understand what really CAN and CAN NOT be done. Thank you.
I believe the issue is that Android devices don't detect the signal at all from the other 2 buttons on iPhone headsets. I've seen more elaborate explanations, but it didn't affect me, because I'm just fine with how I've set up my single button to do everything. It's been answered here if you search. I wish I'd remembered where so I could tell you. Good luck, man. Post here if/when you find the right fit for you.
Im looking for a cheap set to use mostly while on the PC playing games or music. Would like to find a good cheap set under $50. Seen some ifrogs at walmart for $29 anybody had much luck with these? Also looking for an adaptor to convert my turtle beach xbox 360 headphone jack to be compatable with my home theater jack. 1.5 to 3.5 i believe is the jack sizes.
Sennheiser MM60 is excellent if you're bass lover followed by Urbanears Tanto.
I just got some jvc's, something 700 for $40 should be here in a few days

Koss PortaPro was what all the audiophile boards I read recommended for good cheap headphones back when I was looking.
And I did buy them and they were awesome and I heard things in the music I'd never heard before.
Cat thought they were delicious.
Back to cheap ones now.
Hey guys,
I'm looking for and advice on Type-C to 3.5 mm cable. The original one lasted for about 5 months. I tried to buy two different cables. One cheap white under 1 USD, that was utter crap, and slightly more expensive golden braided one. That one looks better, but still performs horribly. The thing is, one phone sounds fine, but the second one has low volume issue. The only cable that works without problems is the original one. But it's really worn out after those few months, and music stops often, because the phone thinks the headphones are coming out. So... What would you buy, possibly on Aliexpress?
I've got two favorites, one looks like original but isn't original (I can't post links yet, so just search "Letv X820 Type-C Adapter Type-C to 3.5mm Earphone Headphone audio interface Adapter Cable for Letv LeEco Le Pro 3/ X829" on Ali) and the other one is two times more expensive Vention one (search "Vention USB Type C to 3.5mm Adapter Cable Headphone Earphone Jack Aux Cable for Letv Leeco Le Max 2 Pro 3/Max2/S3"). People say that the first one isn't original but sounds as one. And I'm not sure about Vention. It should be good, specialized company, but I'm not sure, the product doesn't have any reviews and paying twice the price for the same product seems unnecessary. But if it'd last longer, I'd definitelly do that.
I love the phone so far, but this no jack thing is horrible. So if you have any tips or recommendations, please don't hesitate to tell me.
Thanks a lot.

The sound quality seems to be at the same quality level of the original adapter. And the build quality is way better..

Thanks for the tip! I just have a question. Is this really the original stock one or just a copy? Because from what I've seen those copies look well on the photos but don't match the quality (well quality... 5 months of usage isn't something I'd call quality, but whatever, at least it plays well ) of the original product. But it'd probably be the best option, because I know the length of life for those and could buy three at once and never worry about it again.

Thanks for the tip! Could you please estimate the life of the cable? It looks fine, but overally, will it last the same, or twice the time as the original one? Those braided ones definitelly look more sturdy, but you never know... If I should buy two or if one could stick for about a year?
Thank you, guys.
The quality of my new ordered cables is really solid and durable. I've also ordered 3 units at once and Im pretty sure that those will stick longer than a year with me.
Idk if castius has already ordered http://www.ebay.com/itm/USB-TypeC-to...0AAOSwXeJXc8Sc these, but from an previous order that had the exact same looking cables I can tell that my unbranded white cables have miserable sound quality and arent durable at all.. They broke after 2 Weeks of usage.
But maybe you'll be lucky with the white ones. I wasn't.
Cheers
That's great to know, thank you. I'll probably order two and we'll see. I'm just waiting what castius has to say about those ebay ones, if he already has them. Because that's what I'm afraid of, that they'll maybe work fine for three weeks and then the same story as with those unbranded ones that we've got experience with.

Where did you buy your device? I'm thinking maybe a warranty claim..... I just had my charging brick replaced, hit up the Le Forum and ask, worth a try.

Well, it was in HKTR store on Aliexpress, I seriously doubt that I can get something from them... Or do you think it's worth a try? I'd do it if I was in India or USA, where LeEco normally sells their phones, but buying it from China as a Czech republic citizen, I guess there's not much I can do.
EDIT: Okay, so the product page says that warranty on accesories is one month, so that ended before it started Still thanks for the idea. But I'll probably end buying the Bastec one, it even went one dollar down today.

Always worth a try who knows maybe they have a stack of OEM cables they will sell you.
I bought my Max through Amazon (device came from Chinese seller), leeco (USA) replaced the charge. I didn't think I had a chance, but Leeco barely questioned it.

Well, I've got two golden ones in basket, but I'll maybe switch to the silver side, because my Max is silver. I'm not sure yet, just waiting for seller to reply. But apart from those two, the colours are kind of hideous, to be honest
I got one silver and two black . The silver one differs a really small tiny bit from the black cable. Anyway I think that any color is a bang for the buck with those cables. and both colors have the same great audio quality.
Soooo... It didn't work I'm buying two of those Bastec beauties, so thank you all and hopefully everything's gonna be allright for at least a year.

So I'm back after two weeks, with both Bastec cables delivered. And I wanna thank you again, it cost me under five dollars and performs the same as the original one. But the Bastec one really seems much better built, so I hope it'll deliver for at least half a year. Great buy.

Hello guys, after 5 months, also my CDLA adapter just stopped working, so I'm searching for a replacement of good quality.
I was going to buy the Bastec one, but it's currently unavailable and maybe it will never returns in stock, so I don't know what to buy, I bought an high quality adapter for 8 euros on Amazon, but it sound very bad and also inverts audio channels
Any suggestions? Thanks...

Hey, you're right, the Bastec one is nowhere to be found now. I'm really sorry for your loss, this is a really tricky business. My one and only advice is this - Don't ever buy an adapter without engraved name of the company. Those are really shi**y in most cases. I did some research on Aliexpress and this is what I found:
Something that looks like an original cable. You can find more of these on Ali, there are even some with user pictures, so those should be relatively safe to buy. Although don't expect them to last more than half a year with moderate usage.
Then there's Vention, I think I already have some cables from them and it always worked as it should, so I'd guess that in this case, it should be the same.
And finally, this beast here which looks monstrous and should deliver properly. Not sure about the quality of charge, but audio should be fine.
Unfortunatelly I can't tell you any personal impressions, as I own only the Bastec ones, but this is all of my knowledge. I hope it'll help you to find something that's really working, fingers crossed.

Oh I can't thank you enough for your help , I've ordered the Voxlink one, it seems the best choice especially for the double cable for charge and audio.
I will give a feedback as soon as I will receive it, so it maybe can help also other users that probably will need to buy an alternative adapter at some point...
Again, thank you very much

I'm glad I could help, I really hope that this one works without problems. I remember how big my troubles were when I was dealing with this problem, I bought two adapters and both sounded like a 1940s radio. The worst thing is that you're waiting weeks for it to arrive from China and then you can't do anything else than order another one and hope that after another few weeks, things will be different. I'm really looking forward to your, hopefully positive, feedback. If you have cable headphones and will use this phone for more than half a year, there is a chance of about 99,9% that you'll need another adapter, so your feedback will be surely welcome from every other Le Max 2 owner
Hello readers,
I love my Axon 7, and I loved the included headphones. Unfortunately they broke. I was wondering if ZTE sells replacements or will replace them for free? Any help is appreciated. Thank you!
Contact them directly...? I have tried looking at buying replacements before, but couldn't find them. Could be a regional thing.
They may have a good sound quality but build quality is crap. I wouldn't buy them if i were you.
I've had 3 pairs (one from buying the phone, one from a replacement unit and the last one from buying the phone again) and the first two lost sound in an earbud within the first three months of use... Last pair is a week old so still working fine.
I just ordered a pair of Xiaomi "In-Ear Headphones Pro HD", they seem to be really good, i'll get back to you once they are here if you want.

you could solder them again in a couple of minutes though
they are not a great fit in my tiny ears.

Sure but that's not the point of the explanation. Buying such badly built earphones wouldn't be a good idea.

Okay, Just sayin' since most headphones and earphones have this problem anyways. I prefer flimsy but good sounding stuff than midrange modular cable 'phones, knowing that I can always fix them if they break
Mine actually broke, and they sent over a new pair on request.
