looking for something >$75

Jawbone Icon, 30 dollars on various on line places. If price were no object, get the newer Jawbone. But for 30 dollars, you wont really care if you do loose it.

cheers and thanks mate!
jawbone seems to be the #1 choice......
anything else guys?

plantronic discovery 925. or if you want bettery battery and 3x charging power of the original case charging feature, the plantronic discovery 975. catch them when they're on sale on amazon. <$50. heck they might be less than 50 now. go. check. now.

Nokia BH 503.
Has excellent sound bass, its battery life is unending, and its very resistant, dropping endlessly without damage. Its reception is great too, and so is the in built mic... you can have full conversations anywhere that u dont have to whisper. I haz onez! Very Good.

Voyager Pro
I love my Plantronics Voyager Pro. The plus is out now so the old pro should be in your price range

I have used a Jawbone Icon for more than a year now. Good stuff! Today I was driving 70 down I-5 with my driver's side window rolled down (no choice, it broke today) and I didn't have any trouble carrying on a conversation with my husband. So, that's my vote. Good luck with your decision.

He said above $75 ;-)
Not to steal the thread, but does anyone have a recommendation for bluetooth headphones (not headset)?

Don't know if this is for you but I prefer to use one of these and then use my normal headphones on it.

Im also looking for some headphones cause my S9-hd buttons stopped working due to sweat but they did last for 2 years. I have been trying to find some that are meant for running and are sweat resistant and have a nice fit.
If your looking for some headphones that are over $75.
Sennheiser MM 100 Bluetooth Stereo Headset
Seems to have good reviews.

Just ordered de motorola s10 hd, they are awesome

Love my Jaybird SB2's. Great sound for $100 plus extremely comfortable. Although they do look like a Hello Kitty headband lol

Wait? I'm supposed to read this stuff before posting? Meh. I never have been good at following directions. Heh.
I haven't used BT headphones in ages. Never had much luck with them... they either hurt my ears or broke too quickly.

I don't know how much they're going for now but I picked up a BlueAnt T1 when it first came out and it was the best 80 bucks spent on a BT headset. Been through 5 in the last 2 years and this one takes the cake so far. Decent talk time. Standby time is phenomenal. Deafeningly loud when turned all the way up. Most of all, comfortable enough to wear all day (but to each his own here).

Look up the plantronics backbeat. Altec Lansing speakers. They are awesome

Bluetooth Stereo Headphones

Am in the market for some new headphones after my B&W c5s have started to go wrong after less than a year of usage and am thinking bluetooth. The Jaybird Bluebuds X have been recommended, anyone use them or have anything else to throw in to the mix.

I the above is question or convience or what.
Iam confused

I have tested and reviewed most them in details here on XDA: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2192333 - scroll down to headphone section to read more about it.
In my recent review of Plantronics BackBeat Go 2: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2433088 - I also wrote a comparison follow up between BBG2 and BlueBuds X and Anker 4.0 headphones.
Basically, out of every set of wireless headphones I have tested and compared - Plantronics BBG2 stands above in sound quality and built quality. Don't worry about battery life, with its charging case it's make it very convenient to charge once you are done and the charger batter is super cool. Plus, you get a free android widget for your phone that will tell you battery life of the headphones (love it!!!!).
Unfortunately, if you live in EU, they are only selling headphones without charging case now - from what I have read after a number of XDA readers outside of US commented. But charging case is coming soon.

A VERY comprehensive list right there! Thanks a lot for the heads up..
I did bite the bullet and order a pair today after a couple of posts on G+ and some great feedback.
I was slightly apprehensive to read your review hoping I had made the right choice but it seems I have..
Time will tell.

Which one did you order, BBG2 or BBX? You will not go wrong with either. BlueBuds X are very durable, have better battery life, and my initial review impression was positive. But once you get other headphones and start to compare - you take points off I'm borderline audiophile "in denial" lol!!! BBG2 sounded so much better, especially clear not-overpowering bass and dynamic sound. Both BBG2 and BBX use their own dsp to clean up the sound. After awhile, I have noticed that BBX standby wasn't as good as originally when I got it, where I turn them off and a few weeks later battery was discharged. With BBG2, yeah you get 4+ hours of playback on a single charge, but nobody works out more then 2 hours. Even if you are using them while commuting, your ears will get tired listening to music for 4+ hours. So once you done, put them back into a charging case and that will extend it's life with multiple charges for an additional 10+ hours. And, as I mentioned before, being able to approximate battery life within 15min accuracy with their free widget is priceless because I don't want to wait until I get a beep that I have 10-15min remaining on my battery life. Also, both can receive phones calls.

Sorry didn't say which.. The jaybirds. The charging case sounded like a nice touch for the others but I've done it now so will ride with my choice.. Sounds like I've not chosen too badly. I was looking at foam earbuds too but thought I would hold off until the headphones get delivered tomorrow. Thanks again for pointing me to your reviews..
Off topic I'm going to go for the tempered glass you reviewed too.

Either way, great choice and you will not be disappointed with BBX!
Btw, regarding VITREO, there is another thread in Note 2 section: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2430634 where apparently from time to time Amazon sells "refurbished" one for $5. Doesn't mean its a used one, just a bang up box. Just keep your eyes open for a deal.

Mate, you're a legend. Although, I'm in the UK so will have to see if they have any on the uk site tomorrow. I'm terrible at waiting once I get something in my head I want. Far too impatient for my own good. Although saying that I've not even had a screen protector on my note2 for the past year and it's held up very well. Superb handset.

Creative WP-300 will be a good alternative .

Got the bluebuds and been using them for a few days now. Battery is 5 to 6 hours Max at the moment, quite comfortable, great sound. Quick charge. The sound does cut out for half a second now and then but nothing too of putting. All in all great headphones.

Have you contacted B&W? I know many of them from past professional relationship, including their US CEO, and I think they'd be able to help you out if they're still under warranty.
You'll never get the same audio quality from Bluetooth. A wired pair of IEMs with replaceable cable and 2 year warranty could be a better option.

The reviews are a mixed bag with comments about quality. I haven't tried it, but I will have hard time believing they sound better then BBG2. They do have a longer battery life, but with charging case and superior sound quality and free android app to tell you battery life - BBG2 all the way, imho

What are the best replacement earbuds/IEMs under $50 for an Android smartphone?

My Samsung Note 2 stock earbuds are so cheap, low quality and they slip out of my hears (expecially the right one, I dunno why..).
Now I'm looking for:
• Good sound quality and volume (obviously).
• Great fit and comfortable, ideally with more than one size.
• Possibly white color.
• In-line remote/mic compatible with Android.
• Ruggedly built so I can shove them in my pocket and bag a lot and they won't break.
Any ideas? I'm coming up empty from reviews and lists of "top" earbuds. Anyway so far my candidates are Vsonic VSD1S/GR07 (but it lacks microphone) and SteelSeries Flux In-Ear (but too gaming attitude).
Thanks!

I would suggest to start with Jeremy's Headphone Buying Guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2131021 and reply to that thread with questions from his original post. A number of people monitor that thread and can provide you with suggestions.
Regarding Vsonic, VSD1S will not have much of the bass, its what called "midcentric" with emphasis on midrange. Plus, I'm reading about a lot of build quality issues. GR07 cost way over $100.
I think your best bet going to be Soundmagic E10 headphones ($35); http://www.amazon.com/SoundMAGIC-Noise-Isolating-Earphones-BlackGunmetal/dp/B005HP3OB0/
Now keep in mind, none of these headphones will have volume up/down compatible with android, its only for iphone. But mic and multifunction button will work for play/pause/call, double click to skip the song, and song press to start Google NOW. I reviewed a ton of headphones (check out a link in my signature), and have Note 2 as well.
If you can wait a week or so, I have another pair of "budget" $20 headphones coming my way for review. I heard those blow Soundmagic E10 out of the water in sound and build quality, and supposed to have built-in remote with volume controls compatible with Android. I will not know for sure until I test it, but stay tuned.

Thank you!

Name of this wonder?

I'd look into LG Quadbeat 2, price, sq, functionality shouldn't disappoint the majority of xda'ers (based solely on reviews I've read).
But, if you're more discerning about sq, please do post in my guide (after reading my long-winded op, you'll learn a lot).

I see, Joker liked it He is very highly respected reviewer on Innerfidelity and Head-fi, but often they don't look at long term durability. Either way, they do sound ok, I guess. I never had any experience with VSonic, so can't comment beside what I have read on-line where people were complaining about build quality.
Regarding the one I'm waiting for, its Xiaomi Piston 2. That one got a ton of praises on head-fi, but the problem is a lot of fake ones circulating around. Yeah, even at that low price they make fake knock offs which apparently sound like [email protected] So, I want to wait and see what I'm going to receive (real or fake), how do they sound, and the build quality. If its a real ones, I will definitely post a review about it.

Lost Hi-Res Earphones

Its a long shot, but I was wondering if anyone had the Premium Hi-Res Earphones that come boxed with the HTC 10 that they don't use and are willing to sell?
I've searched eBay and Amazon to no avail and HTC website doesn't offer them for sale.
I'm genuinely gutted I lost them, I've only had them 3 weeks!!!!!!! :crying:

Do yourself a favor and just scoop some Sennheiser instead

No earphones come with the HTC 10.

NAME YOUR PRICE!

How much do those headphones even retail for? I've always been curious as to what price-point they're being valued at.

I couldn't tell you they aren't exactly for sale on the site

Just buy Shure SE215 cause the HiRes earphones by HTC are total crap. I used them once and said OMG they worthless.

Yeah unless you can find someone who hasn't opened them and are willing to give them away for <$30 when they haven't even been priced yet by HTC. I'd say your chances are slim.
+1 buy yourself some real hi-res earbuds you won't regret it.

I personally love my shure se215s.

How much are you willing to spend? If you want a pair of budget IEMs then I would suggest the Xiaomi Piston 3. They can be had for less than 20 and are some of the best in the price bracket, assuming you don't get a fake pair. They also have an inline mic which play/pause and volume buttons that work with the HTC 10

+1 to this.. I bought the Piston III's and use them for conference calls while on the road away from home, as well as music. Solid pair!

You could always grab some Senheiser IE80's I have a set of Shure SE215's, and they aren't spectacular, but they are good.

LEPBH301 - Seems to be good Bluetooth earphones by LeEco/Letv

Hello, I have just ordered this earphones:

Some detailed info here:
https://fccid.io/2AFOY-LEPBH301
The device is based on good chip supporting aptx.
Maybe someone will be interested. The price is good for me (27.86 USD).

Love to hear how you get on.

I have got it. At first try I was a litte bit sceptical but after changing rubber ends to bigger it is more than OK. Big, but not too big, bass, very many details I can hear in my favourite music. Very well spent 30 USD. Are well mounted in ears.

Hello. I do not use it on max volume usually. Battery performance is about 6h

I'm waiting for mine, have already been shipped, hope the sound isn't too disappointing, i'm already prepared for them not sounding as good as my wired earphones...

I use the AKG Y50BT, also support AptX. Great sound and comforable, especially for on-ear headphones. They're also great foe phonecalls.

How did you like the tips? I hated the tips with this headset. But I had some tips Awei which fits me good.
I find the them bassy, but not muddy as some cheap Chinese tend to be. A very good buy for the price.
For those of you who like me prefer traditional tips, there are lots of cheap and decent tips on AliExpress.
some I've ordered but still wait for.
