I just bought the Blue Ant Blutooth head set for my Wing and It sounded like CRAP untill I did some registry hacks to clean up the sound .Thanks to Hardcore & Sleuth255.
The headset themselves are comfortable but still not nearly as loud and clear as the stockers.They reach far and when a call comes in I
can hear the other caller in stereo..nice
One major problem is when you turn off the headset or phone u have to re pair them EVERY time..that sucks
on a 1 to 5 I give them a 3 for $80.00 they could be better.
Why do you have to re-pair them? I use them with my Tilt and don't have to. Must be something with the stack. The hands-free reconnects automatically when I turn them on but for A2DP I have to used A2DP toggle. I bought them from eCost for $24 because they didn't have the retail packaging.
what is the model of the bliant
blueant sorry
ok I couldnt take it anymore so I returned the blueant and got the mot0rola s9, these are HOT !!!!
Smaller,lighter & they connect instantly, and the sound is a 1000 times better for the same price ,the only difference was when I recieved a call with the Blue Ant it was in stereo and with the s9 its in mono.
I have the wing phone.
I hear the skips with both headsets,and Is it me or does anybody else hear the music speed up after the skip??wtf?
I created this review and posted on Android Central. Figured I should share here as well. Original Thread can be found here and i have copy and pasted below. Hope this helps!
After seeing someone mention the Motorola T505 in this thread, I decided to check it out for my self. I know this device has been out for a while, but due to the quality of it, I think a review can be beneficial for some.
Purpose of review: For those of you that drive older cars that did not come with bluetooth technology built in to the stereo and would like to hear phone calls on your stereo, this can be the device for you. Additionally, for those of you that do not have an iPod compatible radio and like to use their EVO as their primary portable music device, this may also be the device for you.
Overview and Un-boxing:The Motorola Motorokr T505 (link to Motorola's website) as an all-in-one bluetooth speaker phone and fm transmitter. The device measures approximately 2.75 inches long and wide (front to back and side to side, respectively) and is just shy of 1 inch think without the included clip (utilizing the pretty mandatory clip brings it to about 2 inches). The unboxing is very straight forward. Included inside the box are the device itself, the clip, a fold-our instruction pamphlet/diagram, a car charger (for the blue tooth. It will NOT work for your EVO), and some other miscellaneous papers. The instructional diagram is extremely easy to read and has pictures for every step of the setup.
Layout: The main function of the accessory is to be a BT speakerphone. The face of the device 2 buttons surrounding a back lit Motorola "M". The left button has a phone icon which is used for accepting, ending, flashing through, and making calls. The right button displays the play & pause icon, used for pausing and recommencing music and muting phone calls. On the left and right side of the device are the volume up and down buttons (respectively). While on a call, these buttons will raise or lower the volume and while playing music, these buttons will go forward or backward through your track listing. On the back of the device, opposite the call button is the power button and opposite the play/pause button is the FM transmitter button. The power button is activated and deactivated by holding it down for three seconds. The same goes for the FM transmitter button.
*It is important to note that these buttons are a bit awkward and take some time to get used to. This especially goes for the instances when you are required to press 2 buttons at once*
Using the T505: The pairing procedure is extremely simple. Once the device is on for the first time, it automatically goes into pairing mode. It came up immediately on the BT scan on my EVO and paired with no errors. The T505 announced that i may need a password and if so, the password is 0000, but i did not need it. Once paired, any audio output from phone calls made or received is played from the BT (which is not clipped about a foot away from me on my visor). The audio in microphone is also on the BT. Sound quality is very good on the speaker phone but it can be a little hard to hear people when driving on the highway. This goes especially for those of us that have loud cars (yes, i'm one of those guys that drives a very loud modded car. Sorry for setting your alarm off when i drive by ). However, this becomes a non-issue in FM transmission mode. On the other end of the phone, people reported that i would occasionally sound distorted but for the most part, ok. Having the windows open did not seem to effect the quality of my voice; people still said they could hear me fine, although i was more or less unable to hear them (again, non-issue, as i will discuss later). It is important to note that people did say they could hear everything, eg, road noise, my loud-*** car, etc, but my voice was still the most dominant thing they could hear. Additionally, any music you play on your EVO will be played on the speaker as well. The sound quality is decent, at best, for music and if you receive a phone call, they music stops as the device announces who is calling you. If you reject the call, your music picks up right where it left off. Same goes for you accepting and ending the call a few minutes later.
FM Transmitter: The built in FM transmitter is what changes the game for me. Once pair, you can turn on the FM transmitter. The BT will scan and within a few seconds, announce what frequency it recommends (usually a low 88-90 frequency). Once turned to that station, any audio from the phone is put out through your car's speakers. This holds true for both phone calls and music. You can easily control the volume now by adjusting the volume directly on your stereo and all the button features on the BT (taking and ending calls, skipping music tracks, etc.) still remain active. If the station you are on has a bit of static, tapping the FM button will make the device scan for a new station. Once you find a station that sounds good, you can save it by (awkwardly) pressing and holding the play/pause and FM button for 3 seconds (the BT will chime to let you know you saved it). Now the BT will prioritize that station next time you turn the FM transmitter on. And of course, when you receive or make phone calls, the music goes on pause while the call is on and picks up where it left off when ended.
Music Quality: As many users are likely to be playing music through this device, it is important to note that the quality is NOT perfect. That being said, it is very good. There are times where the volume seems to drop for less than a second, as if there was too much sound in the split-second of music and the BT couldn't transmit everything, but this is rare and inly noticeable when BLASTING the music. Overall, i would rate the quality of music 8 out of 10 as it is very good most of the time but occasionally gets hissy or sounds weird as aforementioned.
Battery Life: Here is another big seller for me. The battery life is GREAT on this BT. To put this into perspective, I drive anywhere between 30-50 minutes to work, then another 30-45 minutes to campus, and finally 40-50 minutes back home. Work is 5 days a week, school is 4 (even though i used this over the weekend, i am not including weekends in this small analysis). All things considered, MINIMUM weekly usage (excluding weekends) is approximately 460 minutes (over 7 hours). My BT is connected the entire time and almost always on FM transmission (i usually don't play music in the morning, but going to school and home, i always use it). Plus i take calls occasionally too. Considering all the aforementioned, after 2 weeks of this (10 work days), my battery was still not low (the "M" flashes red when low). I decided to charge it today just cause. I am very impressed with the battery life of this BT.
Trepidation: It wouldnt be fair for me to conclude this review without stating what i do not like about the BT, so here are a list of annoyances:
1. The speaker itself is not as loud as i'd like. When i'm not on FM transmission and i get a phone call, i don't want to have to turn on the FM transmitter and change my radio station just to hear who's calling me. When normally driving on the street, this speaker will suffice. But if you have a loud car and you're flying down the highway, eh....
2. The buttons are a bit awkward. I've gotten used to them already, but initially, it's a little annoying using the buttons on the back of the BT.
3. The music quality issue listed above.
4. This is the closest you can get to having a BT sync in a car stereo without having a BT stereo, and it comes with a small price. You have to press a lot of buttons to get it started. For example, a typical "getting in my car" experience when leaving work and heading to school. Get in my car, start the car, turn on the EVO BT, plug it into the car charger, turn on the T505, wait for it to sync, turn on the FM transmitter, wait for it to announce the station (same station every time, it's already saved on my radio), change to appropriate station, select music on EVO you want to hear, enjoy. Sounds like a lot because it is. Admittedly, this takes all of 15 seconds, but still, sometimes i don't feel like it. Also, you cannot turn to the saved FM station before the BT announces it otherwise it'll grab a different one. Weird, but it happens.
Conclusion: I am very happy with this device and recommend it to anyone that would like the things listed in the purpose of review section. My biggest worry was the battery life and it is phenomenal. It's not perfect, but it's very close. Because the device is older, most stores around me didn't carry it (no best buy, walmart, etc.) I was able to find it at Staples for $85 (but i had a $25 coupon ). However, i've seen it online for as low as $59.99 (tiger direct, i think).
**Lastly, I do not have my factory car antenna. I replaced my antenna with an Autoloc in-car antenna, so my antenna is located inside my car on my rear windshield. I am aware that many people have had trouble getting good reception with FM transmitters. Reception is not an issue for me, and whether that is due to device quality, antenna quality or possible antenna location, is unknown to me. The point is, there are many variables to consider when purchasing a product such as this; individual results may vary due to these variables. My experiences are as above and I hope if you purchase this product, yours will be too.**
Hope this was informative and helps someone!
I have one of these as well and works perfect on my EVO.I got mine for xmas back in 08 and while i dont use it every day i will def agree on the battery life.If i've recharged this thing 12 times since i had it it would be a miracle!Highly recommended!!!!
I got this for my Palm PRE, worked great. Now I use it for my EVO, I use it daily.
I have this device as well and while it is great I wish the fm transmitter signal was stronger...commuting from new York to jersey, I have to change stations in the t 505 often.....
Can anybody suggest a good bluetooth headset for MT4G?
How is SE MW600? I would like to know if anyone could see the song title in the set and whether all the volume up, down, next etc are working fine.

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.
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16875982253
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.
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App
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

so basically... it seems like no one has found a really good set for a decent price
Under a motorcycle helmet
I am looking for a bluetooth headset that will fix and work well under my motorcycle helmet. Any recommendations?
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.
So I have a pair of Anker earbuds (which I can use to make calls) which connect first time, every time and work flawlessly. I use them out and about & when travelling to listen to podcasts etc on the phone.
But around the house, I prefer a simple mono bluetooth headset I can quickly pop in my ear and still have one ear free (and not have to mess around with wires between the buds). I had a Jabra Mini, which I just returned. Most times when I switched on the headset, it just wouldn't connect. If it did connect, sometimes the mic just wasn't working and the other party couldn't hear anything and would hang up. And if it did connect and they could hear me, often as not there would be massive interference, bad enough that the call needed to be ended and I'd have to switch off the headset and use the phone speaker and call again.
So I returned it and got a Jabra Stealth yesterday. It paired straight off and a call to a friend was marked as "flawless". Then today, I turned on the headset and it simply wouldn't connect. I reset the headset - then it wouldn't pair. Restarted headset and phone, and managed to pair them. Made a call and all was well. Except this is exactly how things started with the Mini...
So has anyone else had success with Jabra? (I stuck with Jabra as they're so well regarded in the UK). And can anyone recommend a decent headset that they have found works with the Pixel 2? My price range is around £40 ($60 or so) and I'm in the UK. (I wish Anker did a mono headset.. )
Thanks in advance!
