Hi all,
After a year of trying out different portable speakers - I tried the beats pill, Braven 625 (very good for ultimate portability....) and many others. I finally bought a Bose Soundlink Mini today. It is amazing! I cannot believe the sound from this little thing. While it does not have some of the extras others offer (Braven seems best in terms of will charge your phone, and can be used as speakerphone), it has the best sound I have heard from something so small.
This will not appeal to audiophiles or pimply teenagers who think they are audiophiles, but as a mini speaker that fills a big room with good clear sound it is great. Now my life is complete with my note 2, note 10.1 2014, anker wireless keyboard and this speaker. With this sort of technology now I can see myself going off grid with my camper van in the future, living with a solar cell and a kelly kettle for hot food
Just thought I would share this, there is not much I offer to the forum in terms of rooting or roms etc, I do intend to in the future as I am a google certified teacher and starting to use my note 10.1 as my main tool in the classroom to control my whiteboard......but at the moment if anyone else out there was like me and couldnt justify spending £150 on a tiny speaker then go for this one, its brilliant.
I have the same speakers, and they are great ...... for Bluetooth speakers. The sound is as good as I have heard from portable BT speakers. Can't beat them for the size.
I also have a Soundlink Mini.
Best bluetooth speaker in its class, hands down.
Sloty
Iv had a look at the speakers your talking about and they have an awesome sound but a price tag to match. I recently picked up a blue tooth / cord speaker from Aldi supermarket chain. It does all the things you've pointed out for $20 (sale price) and the sound is big and impressive with clear lows unlike what iv seen in other portable speakers. I snuck back and got a second.
I just picked up a JBL Flip 2 whilst in the states. Listened to the Bose and the JBL and you would be hard pushed to tell the difference. Also with the new Flip 2 they have done away with the need to have a plug in power adaptor which for me takes away the whole portable aspect of a portable speaker as you can now charge it through USB. Biggest bonus is it only cost me $95 which is half the price of the Bose.
Althought flip 2 is a good speaker, none can even dare to compare to the Bose! I wish i had it, i bought the UE Mini Boom, has the same features as the flip 2 almost the same price range, not the same sound quality, but good enough and pairs up to 8 bluetooth devices (2 simultaneous), 10 hour battery life (real), much smaller (fits on my beach toal pocket).
Well in all fairness thats opinion. I have spent many years using B + W speakers with other hi end hifi equipment so I am used to high quality audio and in my opinion the gulf is not that big. Certainly not double the price wise. What swung it for me is using them as a portable speaker. What good is a portable speaker that when it runs out you have to find a power socket to charge it. They realised this with the first JBL flip and with the Flip 2 replaced the need for a power adaptor with a simple usb charging port. So with my portable battery I can have music playing all day well away from a power source. But as I said its completely each individuals opinion which I fully respect.

Did this thing not come with headphones? I don't have any in my box....
Every review on the web shows the same. This phone simply wasn't packaged with some...it's likely that you'll already have some anyways or you'll eventually get a better pair than they would have ever packaged.
You're probably right but I wanted to test out the FM Radio real quick and low and behold...
The no headphones is surprising, but with a retail cost of 450.00, you can't expect much. I would rather pay less and skip the headphones and mini hdmi cable than pay for them and not use them. I like the headphones I already own. Bundled headphones generally suck anyways. At least my iphone headphones suck that is.
i have these
i love these headphones
http://shop.v-moda.com/p-46-vibe-ii-w-mic.aspx
Also if you wana go alittle cheaper then the V-moda Vibe II, the V-moda Faze are extremly good too, thats what i ended up getting, they run about $49.99 and exellent sound quality and build!
I use super cheap OEM blackberry headphones I get off ebay for like $3 a pair. As far as comfort and sound quality go they seem way better than the other super cheap and kinda nice headphones I have
There's better IEM headphones than any of the V-Moda models for less $ or about the same price imo... MEElectronics M9P, Nuforce NE-7M, Maximo iP-HS5, etc. Head-Fi.org is a great resource for all things headphones. I just bought the MEElec M9P last week and I've been trying 'em out today, I got 'em for $22 w/S&H but I think they went back up in price to $35 (the others are around $50).
I think they're a noticeable step up in quality from the other mic-less IEMs I already had, Sennheiser CX300 and JVC HA-FX34 Marshmallows... Those two are fairly common at retail stores so if you've ever owned either of them you have a fairly good point of reference.
After reading a few threads at HF I ended up w/the MEElec because of the relative SQ to price, and the fact that they have one of the best cords of any IEMs under $100... Hardly any microphonics at all, virtually none if worn over the head (microphonics = cord noise when it bounces or rubs against stuff). It's got like two layers or something (one of them is translucent so it's obvious).
Pretty high quality stuff, nice hockey-stick shaped plug, nice metal casings, comes with 5 different sets of tips (regular single flanges in three sizes and dual-flange tips in two colors) and a bunch of other accessories including a nice hard case that's slimmer than most of those types of cases I've seen. Highly recommended, I like them a lot more than my Senn or JVC (and I paid like $50 for the Senns around 5 years ago, $20 for the JVC recently). I've not been able to test the mic yet since my EVO hasn't arrived and I didn't feel like doing it with the iPod touch's sound recorder or something.

Does the V-Moda Faze have call answer functions?
EDIT***
I went ahead and bought the FAZE and wow, the sound is great and yes it works for answering/hanging up calls as well as playing music.
Anyone know/test normal apple ipod headphones? I have a pair and they're my usual set and I was wondering if any of the integrated controls (mic, volume up/down, push to pause etc.) work or if anyone knew.
Today I went down to mobilecityonline located in Canal street and purchased the Sony Ericsson MW600 bluetooth stereo headset for use with my EVO 4G.
At the moment it is charging [at least 8hrs], but I wanted to know if anyone it using this particular device?
Once I get it up and running, I will let you guys know how compatible it is with the EVO. Hopefully all the functions will work and I don't have to return it.
update 06/08/10
Well with alot of playing around and trying a few different audio apps, I got the MW600 to function the way I wanted, which saved me from returning it.
My main concern was being able to use the controls on the device, and I was only able to do so with an app called bTunes.
I had no luck with the stock Android music player nor with another App called
Audio Player WithEQ Platinum
Although those two did play via the bluetooth unit, I was not able to use none of the control functions.
With bTunes, I was able to play, pause, and use the forward and backward functions.
On a side note, the headphones that came with the MW600 are very short, but they sound very good. I ended up using my Klipsch Image S4i which I was using previously with my 3GS.
Hope this meets you all well.
Cheers !

anyone have any experience with the inner ear apple headphones they cost 69.99$ i ordered a pair with my iPad(figured i could use em with all my gadgets)
The controls on the Ultimate Ears Superfi 5Vi's are able to pause/play music along with voice dial and answer/hang up
Those V-modo's look cool, but honestly for the price they lack key features:
1- IN-line volume control. not a digital one like iphone headsets, but a slider on it, like the OEM mogul shipped with.
2.- for that price, and especially since it is coated in so much metal, it should have an inline radiation deadener- nobody wants radiation from their phone being transmitted right into their eardrums, especially since the 3.5mm port on our evo's acts as the FM antenna --- that is just insulting
At least from my experience with this device....
You are better off with using bluetooth headphones that can do MP3 bluetooth decoding and using Meridian as the music player. The truth is that while the headphone out is decently clean, it has a relatively high output impedance and not much driving capability. You are much better off getting some headphones with imp between 32-60ohms and at least 97db efficiency and not getting something too nice to use direct.
There is also the issue of when this is hooked up with grounding loop noise if you hook up your headphones to the output. Why the engineers who would put together such a media centric device would not think of such simple things is beyond me, but the iPod does it too and it is a pure music player.
If you happen to use a headphone amplifier, then you can use what you want because the audio signal will likely be free of much ground noise and have a really nice spectrum to it (much better than even my line out was on my iPhone....though not better than my modded iPod Touch).
If someone wants to work on USB host audio drivers I would be elated, willing to help as well. I can even make a custom hardware I/O box for the Evo!
I bought the Bose in-ear ones from Best Buy. I'm going to return them though. The sound is not as vibrant and alive as from my stereo BT set (S9-HD)

Is the volume using the iphone headset loud enough for you? I've tried it and it's too low and the people I'm trying to talk with sounds like they are fading in and out.
I'm thinking of returning since I can't even use it as a phone with the wired headset.
Im looking to buy a wireless portable (mid range portable and too tiny) speaker. Which one do you guys suggest in terms of sound quality (ofcourse), pricing and latest connectivity options (Wi-Fi, NFC)?
Found three selections: Bose Soundtouch 20, Sonos Play 5 and Sony SRSX7
I have personal experience with two models: X-mini II and JBL Micro wireless. I didn't own them, but they were sold as iphone accessories where I used to work. Both are worth the money, X-mini is louder and with a little bit distorted sound/bass when at full volume, while the JBL is somewhat more cultivated and clearer.
But overall the X-mini was sold 3:1 vs the JBL. You can also chain the x-minis

Thanks. I checked them out but they are smaller than what im looking for.
The size of Bose Soundtouch 20 is fine by me. Im not looking for a pocket portable, but more like something that can sit on your pc desk or bed table without occupying much space and looking modern.But it seems the three devices i mentioned in earlier post are the only ones with all latest connectivity options. The JBL authentics L8 looks great too, but pricey. When i went shopping i saw a lot of portable speakers which i couldn't recognize so i had to come home and check online what the heck is going on in the portable speaker world. It seems most portable speakers are bluetooth ones only, and does not have Wifi, NFC, etc.
So you are ideally looking for an optionally battery powered docking station with speakers

I see they only support bluetooth and not wifi.
The Libratone live also good enough as the Bose Soundtouch 20.

Best Budget Wireless Earbuds: QCY Q29 Wireless Earbuds
Bluetooth earbuds have gained popularity over past few years and we have seen truly wireless earbuds from Samsung but it wasn't until the Apple released AirPods which made the untethered Bluetooth earbuds mainstream. While Samsung's Gear IconX failed to gain popularity the Apple's tooth brush looking AirPods have seen positive response from Apple users. Though AirPods costs more than $100 and sound quality isn't the best so the average consumer might not be able to justify the cost. But as technology evolves we see new companies trying their hands at untethered truly wireless Bluetooth earbuds. Not many of these companies make good earbuds but I have found the best budget friendly truly wireless Bluetooth earbuds.
Let me introduce you to the QCY Q29 truly wireless Bluetooth earbuds. Q29's are similar to AirPods and Gear IconX as they're they’re two independent earpieces that can be used together (stereo) or separately (mono), depending on your needs. The audio quality in these earbuds have surpassed that of AirPods and the price definitely puts them in spotlight for best budget-centric wireless Bluetooth earbuds.
Audio
The audio quality is surprisingly good and surpassed my exceptions. I have been using the wired Bluetooth Jaybird Bluebird X for over 2 years and was satisfied with audio quality from Q29. If you ever used Jaybirds then you would know that they have one of the best audio quality in the market for Bluetooth earbuds. The call audio quality has been good as there were no complaints from callers. Since the microphone is exposed its tricky to use it in windy situation. Overall I love the audio quality of the Q29 earbuds.
The Case
These earbuds comes with a case that doubles as a charger which holds 220 mAh of battery and can charge your earbuds for up to 24 hours. This charging case is small enough to fit in your pockets or purses and can be charged using any micro usb cable.
The Design
The earbuds have owl design that looks premium and comes in two color grey and white. They do stick out a bit from your ears but if you have long hair or wear hoodie they aren't visible. Please watch the video review to see it yourself. There is a small led that will indicate status of the earbuds. There is also a voice assistance to indicate paring mode or incoming calls. Both of the earbuds are equipped with microphone allowing you to use either one of them as mono headset. Its very simple to pick up and end the call with one click of the button. As far as design goes I have no complain as the battery compliments its size and they do fit snug. But I would suggest using Comply foam ear tips as it will make the audio quality superior.
Connectivity
Connecting Q29 to your Bluetooth enabled device is pretty simple and takes 30 second. The Bluetooth range is also quite good as it comes with Bluetooth 4.1 technology. If for some reason your earbuds are not inter connected please follow the below guide to connect right and left earbuds with each other.
1.Please restart the Bluetooth on your phone and clean up the previous connected between the phone and the Q29.
2.Turn off both R and L earbud, press both function buttons as the same time and hold about 10 seconds, until the white light on. Waite for 3-5 seconds, the light will turn white and red and you will hear the warning tone "right channel/left channel" after this.
*Please keep clicking these two buttons until you heard that warning, only if they have matched, the L will connect automatically.
3.Turn off the L earbud, then turn on your Bluetooth and paring R earbud first with your phone.
4.Turn on your L earbud, hold the L earbud into paring mode, It will paring with the R earbud and the phone automatically.
This process is also apply to connecting with Android phone, and please note that turn off you iPhone Bluetooth function when you want to connect the earbuds with Android devices.
Conclusion
These earbuds have been my daily drivers ever since December and I have no complaint about it. The audio quality and connectivity is great. I will be honest here I was not expecting the earbuds to be good as I had set my bar high since I have been using Jaybirds. But I was pleasantly surprised with overall performance from these earbuds and they have successfully retired my Jaybirds. I am sure they will replace your daily drivers as they are on sale currently and from the special coupon in video description you will be able to get these for under $50.
Please let me know if you have any question.
Comply tip type
Thanks for your review. I'm now enjoying them as my first foray into wireless headphones. You mentioned replacing the standard tips with Comply. What type are compatible with these? I have some for other headphones but they're too small to fit the Q29s.
That is a great topic but I have seen that there is a new upgraded earbuds QCY Q29 Pro. I have noticed that they are now BT 4.2 and they have small other improvements and new BT chip. Can anyone make a comparison of both and say if the old model Q29 is better or the new one Q29 Pro?

I bought Q29 pro and that are awesome. Couldn't do a comparison as I don't own the earlier version. When I am not using my Parrot zik 2.0 these are the go to headphones (of course, couldn't compare with Zik which has more rounded sound) . More importantly the mic is good too and my callers haven't complained so far. These are very good.,though some haven't felt the same about Q29 minis.
Sent from my ONEPLUS A3003 using Tapatalk
I also have bought Q29 Pro. The sound is awesome and when I walk the people really do not complain. The only thing I do not like is that they can't stay into my ears and when I chew or yawn they fell.
I also bought these earphones, and they are great. But I noticed that if I store them in the battery case, they get charged, and when the case battery is completely discharged by charging the earphones, the earphones turn on and they stay on until they also discharge. So then both batteries are empty. It appears that when the case battery is empty, the contacts to the earphones stop working, so the earphones think they have been taken out of the case and turn on automatically, even though they are still in the case.
Did anyone else notice this?

How to differentiate between pro and non pro version ?
I don't think looking outside anyone could see the difference. When you receive the package see the booklet. The Pro model is with Bluetooth 4.2.
Good afternoon, I bought a month ago the headphones QCY q29 pro. They worked well, and yesterday one right earpiece fell silent and did not turn on any more. I charged the headphones in the box, but the right earpiece still does not turn on. It does not light a bulb. What should I do?
Try to hold the button longer it might be the button the problem. If you could return them for change. They have warranty.
I just received mine a couple days ago and felt that the volume is too low. Could barely hear the music when I'm on a train / bus. The product doesn't even have a proper website to hope that they will increase the volume in the future firmware update. .
I wonder if only mine or it is built to have a low volume? I'm looking for a way to increase the volume, perhaps volume tweaking through a third-party app? I disabled the Absolute Volume setting in the developer mode, but that didn't help

Did you manage to get your issue sorted?
I just wanted to share that my unit's volume seems more than adequate. In fact, I have to keep it at less than 1/3 of max.
---------- Post added at 10:37 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:29 AM ----------
Reaching out to other users of these earbuds -- Do any of you experience frequent drop outs with them? Paired with my google pixel 1st gen, I often get drop-outs. And I mean very often, like every few minutes, it would momentarily lose the signal. It would only be for a moment, but as you can probably imagine, listening to music or podcasts are quite unsatisfactory.
On a lark, I decided to pair them with my Lenovo P8 tablet and the experience was a-ok. I only ever experienced a drop out when I moved too far from the tablet, like 6-9 meters away!
Maybe some of you might have an idea as what's going on?

No, the volume is still quite low for me. I think it's probably from the phone (Note 8). I gave them to my son.
I'm also experiencing the same frequent drop out, mostly with the left piece. I read that many are experiencing the same issue. I figured that it's probably the cons. Can't complain much since it's very cheap
Thanks for getting back to me @bankir, and sharing your experience with it.
Are they cutting out Sound??
Do the buds cut out sometimes. I have galaxy buds and they are cutting off nonstop so i am thinking to buy a new ones.
NOTE: HD photos are available here in a share Google Photos folder: https://goo.gl/photos/hzpaVsQhr3xDXU89A
This speaker has got to be the absolute best-sounding bluetooth speaker that I've had the pleasure of using.
It's exceptionally well made, nice and heavy, and doesn't look like a toy sitting on your desk.
It fills the room with sound and has a fantastic range of highs and lows I've tried louder speakers, but they didn't have the range, and quite frankly they just felt .... cheap.... NOT THIS ONE! You've got to consider the price and size of the speakers - speakers this small have limitations. This one has 3 built-in speakers which really rounds out the sound. My selections ranged from 1980's alternative to modern rock, top 40 and even some rap - all sounded really good on it! Something I could recommend this speaker for is to give you better sound off of your laptop (unless you have a super-high-end gaming laptop that has a subwoofer and some really kick-butt speakers in it) - just because you have an inexpensive laptop doesn't mean that the sound needs to be shallow and tinny - by connecting to this speaker , you really get some rich sound.
Over the past 2 days I've used it to play music at both work and home and it's lasted a good 8 hours on full volume with each charge.
It is capable of also being used on a wired connection - I've got a few "toys" that I could use that functionality with, but for the initial workout I am sticking with just wireless.
If you're looking for an moderately-priced speaker that doesn't leave you embarrassed to play loudly, this one is definitely worth your time and you won't be disappointed!
Here's a link to the product on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01JRG6HCC/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Hello!
I'm a big fan of wired headphones. Nevertheless, I have decided to explore what the 21st century has to offer finally and bought myself a new pair of shiny Bluetooth headset from EarFun, which is a producer of my new Bluetooth speaker Go.
Free or TW100, the new product from EarFun, is a decent alternative to the more powerful (and of course pricey) product from Apple. While the Cupertino's pride sells its product for a whopping $160 (it's Apple, duh!), EarFun is a more pocket-friendly, as their headset costs just $50.
Without further ado, you can see the photos in the attachments.
And here are the functions:
Free uses almost the newest Bluetooth 5.0 to communicate with your smart device. The quality of the connection is satisfying. I have experienced some hiccup during my walk to work, but skips were very rare and short. According to the producer, the headphones work up to 15 meters from the source of the sound. This is a great result. I haven't tested it, because my flat is too small If I had to be picky, I would say that these headphones might have been a little louder, but the good sound isolation makes the music really easy to listen without a hearing loss.
The headset comes with a fancy case, which is also a charger. According to EarFun, one charge can give you up to 6 hours of constant usage and extra 24 hours stored in the case's battery. Headphones charge relatively quickly, and the case can be recharged with a USB-C cable or a Qi pad (I don't have one to test it). The device is also waterproof.
In overall, EarFun TW100 is a decent device and I can easily recommend it. 8,5/10. You can get it on Amazon.
They look like the Creative Outlier Air.
