I don't know which headset I should use with my MDA Pro.
I'm a Plantronics fan, but Jabra also makes good Headsets. What do you think about the new Jabra with LCDisplay? It would be a good complement to use the closed Universal.
Did anybody use this new Jabra?
What model Jabra? the BT800? That one has the number display for called ID. It's good. I did not think i'd get use to it, I prefer the older bt250 style, but it's not bad at all and supports voice dialing.
i got the jabra's BT800 and SE Akono HBH660.. i think i like the bt800 better
@ GM: Is the display a big helper? Does it only show the number, or ist it possible to see the name either?
I am using the Motorola HS850 and it seems to work very well with JasJar.

Plantronics hasn't really released any new BT headsets. I'm still using my old M3000 with the MDA II. Try out Jabra since they seem to be the market leader for BT headsets.
bluetooth ...
i've used several BT headsets and the best ones i've used are from SonyEricsson ... I currently use both HBH-300 and HBH-608 and they both work fine on my XDA 2s ... the only thing i've noticed (comparing my XDA 2s with my SE P910i) that the bluetooth isn't as strong compared when i use them on my SE Phone... in comparison with other headsets, i think Jabra has been a good competitor as well as nokia ... i also have the O2 BT headset which is nice and small but the signal is really poor ...
C
I currently use an SE Akono HBH-300 and had an HBH-65 - they both work fine with my XdaII, though the 65 had crap battery life.
I am using the Oakley Razrwire glasses with my Jasjar 95% of time... Bluespoon AX 5% of time. BT has worked flawlessly on my Universal. I haven't had it drop connection not once.

number only
It's a shame that the JASJAR only sends the caller number to the headset and not the contact name.
I've tried my BT800 on my SE P910i and it displays the contact name when used on that device.
@ Triband81: Plantronics released a whole bunch of new interesting Headsets:
Voyager 510, with extended system für "normal" wired phones
Discovery 320
Discovery 640, only 9g, interesting charging solution
http://reviews.cnet.com/Plantronics_Discovery_640_Bluetooth_headset/4505-5_7-31515626-2.html?tag=top
I ordered mine yesterday.
The Jabra BT800 sounds very interesting because of the display. But it lokks very large on the photos.
i think the bt800 needs the handsfree profile instead of the headset profile w/c jasjar has to display the actual contact name (if you check out jabra's website, almost all ppcpe's are not compatible with bt800). its either jabra released a new firmware for the bt800 or we'll wait for a ROM upgrade for jasjar

I have been using the plantronics v510, and it works very well with the JasJar. This is the only headset that I used when I first turned it on, I had to turn it down a couple notches just because it was too loud. Great headset, I wanted the 640, but couldnt wait for it to be released.
Anyone does know how to redial via bluetooth headset (HBH 660)?
@ guido: Try a "doubleclick" at the main headset button.
Thinking of getting the bluespoon 5g, I have no use for it right now with IIs, Mini and car phone... But after getting the Exec, BT is a must I guess and 5g seems to go well with it ;P
My headset- HBH Sony ericsson 662. Can see phone Number, can use voidial and listen music via bluetooth with Jasjar
:wink:
question:
can someone tell me if on the Jabra BT800 i can see the display while i'm wearing it ?
thanks

Hello,
I just wanted to start a thread about what types of bluetooth accessories Galaxy Note users such as myself use on a day to day basis. Bluetooth is an integral part of technology these days i just wanted to share what i have as of right now and what i plan to get in the future.
Currently, I have a Jawbone Era Silver Lining Bluetooth Headset and a Samsung HM5000 Bluetooth Pen Headset. I use my Jawbone Era whenever I'm driving, listening to music, and watching movies. I bought The HM5000 for those times when ear starts to feel sore from the Jawbone and the HM5000 just looks snazzy to use. (I'm currently trying to figure out a way to make a mold for a micro usb cap that can double as a capacitive stylus tip so i can use it as an actual pen, anybody knowledgeable in this pls let me know and thanks in advance)
I plan on purchasing the Sony Smartwatch and the Sony Wireless Headset Pro in the near future as soon as Sony gets off their butts and actually release the Wireless Headset Pro and not promise it will be released 30 days after CES.
Kindly share what ya'll got and what your opinions on the matter are for all those other bluetooth headsets out there.

My BT stuff

Logitech DiNovo mini
I have a pair of Plantronics Backbeat 903+ headphones and love them. Great sound and great battery life.
Because they sit in your ear they can get a bit uncomfortable after a couple of hours.
The only thing I don't like is that there is a lot of latency with them (I didn't realise BT headphones would have so much latency when I got them) which makes playing music apps or games where your need your screen input to be in sync with what you hear not really viable. I use wired headphones in those situations.
I have a Buffalo BT mouse which is good.
I'm awaiting delivery of the Rii Mini keyboard. Should be any day now...
Sony Wireless Keypad
Sony Wireless Keypad also works.
1. Jaybird Freedom headphones. Closest thing to sweatproof I have been able to find for my workouts.
2. Motorola S-10HD. Nice sound and comfort but can't take the sweat like they claim
3. Samsung HS2000 earpiece. Cheap, reliable and comfortable but that Samsung specific app for speaking emails and such is crap.
4. Zephyr HxM Heart rate monitor. I run and bike and this lets me record my heart rate and strides with Endomondo or Sportstracket
5. OBDPros OBDII adapter. I can use the Torque app to monitor and communicate with my car ECU.
6. Microsoft comfort 5000 keyboard. Love my ergo bluetooth keyboard.
7. Microsoft bluetooth mouse 3000. It works, nothing special.
8. Apple magic mouse. Love it.
9. Various bluetooth to serial adapters for engineering nerd stuff.

Among the bluetooth accessories I have the one that I like the most is the nokia stereo headset http://reviews.cnet.com/headsets/nokia-bh-103-headset/4505-13831_7-33707311.html
Why I like it ?
- It connects automatically when ever i turn it on
-Turns off automatically after i turn the bluetooth in my phone off. This saves battery. Hence saving a lot of battery.
It lasts more than a week after a week of charging on a regular use.
Even if i dont use it for a few weeks it preserves battery well.
Have not seen such good performance in any other bluetooth device.
I'm using this bluetooth keyboard by Ednet and it's working great (including touchpad) with Gingerbread and ICS:
http://www.ednet-gmbh.de/?lang=en&page=1&cat=10,20,4&artnr=86270
I'm especially liking its medium size, as there are many "mini keyboards" out there that are *really* mini... ;-)
There's a German review at Tom's Hardware:
http://www.tomshardware.de/Ednet-Bluetooth-Touchpad-Keyboard,testberichte-240861.html
I connect mine all the time when I'm driving with my car's Blue & Me system, a collaboration between FIAT and Microsoft, based on the Windows Mobile for Automotive platform.
Voice call functions work great, but have not tried the SMS reader feature yet. This is a feature where the car will have the option to read incoming SMS out loud through the car's speakers. It works with a VERY limited number of phones.

Nokia J headset
Works effortlessly, holds a charge forever.

I have this clipped in my shirt pocket and take all calls on it. Activates, connects, and takes call in the time it takes to get it into my ear.

Wow! I was looking for a in-ear mono BT headset and somehow missed on the Nokia J.
Did some research on this headset. Looks very good. Thx for the tip!
skome, Are the aditional earbuds (the ones with hooks) also in-ear? Do you have any complains at all?
Does anybody know of a Bluetooth device where I can controll my music like the "s pebble"
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda premium
The only bluetooth accessory I use on a daily basis is my MBW 150.
Love the thing. Bluetooth media controlling over AVRCP, vibrates on any notification I want it to, caller ID, shows who messaged and can read off the entire text if I want. AVRCP capability was the primary reason I got one, but I find it much much more useful than I initially thought I would.
I'll also add, hardly affects battery life on my Note. I never, ever turn bluetooth off.
The OLED screen is fading unfortunately, but the Pebble Watch is looking mighty promising so I'll be snatching one up as soon as it goes up for sale (missed getting a spot on Kickstarter).
7+ day battery life, e-Paper display, vibrates for notifications, media controls, and is totally customizable.
Looking right forward to it.

Right now you can get a MBW 150/200. Supports only that profile for media playback, so you have a media controller on your wrist.

No complaints. If I had to come up with one, it's that the buds are a little different from all the extras I have lying around. My spares tend to be a bit too loose.
I didn't get any buds with hooks, huh. I haven't needed them and I cycle to work, walk around a lot, etc. It's light and stays in my ear.

I use use and love the Nokia BH 214. It's a clip, controls music like the pebble. It has a mic on it so if a call comes in the music is paused and you can answer and talk normally.
I have some moderate-sized headphones it handles well. It's rechargeable and holds charges for days.
Availability? Nokia is not long for the world....
I promise no more Nokia ads!

Hi guys,
S3 supports the latest bluetooth 4 and it has less battery consumption.
Just wonder if there is any good bluetooth 4 devices like headset, heart rate monitor, etc for our phone.
Thanks.

Not sure. As far as headphone, I think the best would be one that supports APT-X, though they are a bit more expensive. Supposed to provide better sound.
There are two watches coming out called the e-pebble and cookoo that work using bluetooth 4. The both had successful money raising campaigns on kickstarter.com. Both will retail for about $100 come this winter. Both watches will alert you to incoming messages and reminders. The cookoo uses an old school clock dial and leds for notifications, the pebble uses a e-ink screen.

Depends on your budget.
Some good brands:

Sony
Bose
Currently i am using mi wireless headphones, sound quality, battery backup, build quality good and don't fall wile running, i purchased for 1400 inr from banggood
By suitable, i think OP refers to audio hissing bug. its already known that low impedance phones will have audio hissing ( i own BT phones from JBL and the hissing is terrible ).
I have a few pairs of Bluetooth headphones, but at the moment I use these ones from Proxelle. Cheap, lightweigth, sweatproof and sound quality is good. Battery lasts 5 hours (more or less).
https://www.amazon.com/Proxelle-Blu...=UTF8&qid=1522242138&sr=8-1&keywords=proxelle
For comparison, I also have the Plantronics Backbeat Pro, a good competitor in the best bluetooth headphones category.

I recently bought this one, works quite well:

https://www.amazon.in/Sony-WH1000XM...8&qid=1536671566&sr=1-1&keywords=sony+1000mx2
My 10 cents
I use a philips shb4000 bt headset and i am very happy with it.
Its relatively cheap, has great sound, is lightweight and comfortable.

Strange how no one mentioned KZ, in my opinion KZ is great bang for the buck brand. They are not bluetooth type right from the box, but you can buy bluetooth module and make it wireless. I owned KZ ES4 and KZ ZSR, both of them are great but I recommend you get ZSR, for around $20. (+$8 for bluetooth module) you can't find better earphones.
https://www.gearbest.com/earbud-headphones/pp_1512920.html?wid=1433363
and bluetooth module (can get you around 3-4 hours of play time)
https://www.gearbest.com/earbud-headphones/pp_712247.html?wid=1433363
So in total of just under $30 you will get triple driver bluetooth earphones with awesome sound and build quality
I sold my Jaybird Runs last week because they were constantly dropping their pairing connection with the Mate 20 X in spotify. Looking to try something else. Suggestions welcome!
Just a note of caution about the Jabra Active Elite 65t wireless earbuds. They are great earbuds and worked flawlessly with my Xiaomi Mi Max 3, but I have tried two sets of them with two different Huawei Mate 20 x phones and in each case when I try to play music they either make a skipping noise for two or three minutes before they play the music, or else they are silent until I turn bluetooth on and off a couple of times.
I've been using Jaybird X3 and have no issues with connectivity

^ I bought the same earbuds. They do work flawlessly but they don't have any bass like the Jabra T65 and dont fit as snug. Dilemma...use T65 and deal with having to connect/reconnect before it starts working or live without bass.
Has anyone tried the new Galaxy Buds with the Mate 20 X? Heard they're great wireless buds
Hey guys, I've held off for now, but I plan to buy some Galaxy Buds once they're in stock at bestbuy. Will let you know how it turns out

Well that's a bummer, I use the 65t's and I just ordered the international mate 20x. Did you have the jabra app installed? Not really sure if it helps with the connection process or not. Also, were these the chinese variant or the international variant you tried them on?
Yes I have the latest version of the Jabra Sound+ app installed. This latest version no longer requires the Jabra Service app to be installed and running. Both Mate 20 x phones that I have tried the Active 65t with are the L29 global version.

Any updates on the buds with the mate 20 X?
I have the Samsung buds (2019) connected to the Mate 20 X. No issues at all, they work beautifully.
By the way, the buds had 3 firmware upgrades already (in less than 2 weeks of ownership). They're fantastic buds.

It is quite good, you can clearly hear the lowest frequencies but, do not expect the bass boost you would usually get from bigger headphones. If you use the equalizer on the galaxy app, you could make the bass sound considerably more prominent. I would describe the sound of these buds as balanced, very pleasant and accurate. My only other reference are the Sony's WH-1000XM2 which obviously have more bass but, the comparison is really unfair.
During phone (voice) conversations, the sound is really clear and the voice sounds natural and full.

Sorry, they were sold out everywhere! I was not expecting it to take so long. Finally ordered, should arrive on Monday or Tuesday. Will test and let you know. :highfive:
I'm using these ones (https://www.amazon.co.uk/Bluetooth-...rds=klearlook&qid=1553705469&s=gateway&sr=8-1) and they're working well. Sound quality and battery life are very good, and they use usb c to charge so no need to take a extra cable to charge them.
Galaxy Buds arrived early! I've been listening to them all day!
Blown away by the sound quality, clarity, and loudness. And they're so small compared to the last generation, the case is so tiny, yet the battery lasts forever. Really impressed.
Anyway regarding the Mate 20 X--The 1st gen Jaybird Run was awful and didn't work with my phone, they would randomly turn off or disconnect when switching media. It was almost unusable, so I decided to get rid of them. The Galaxy Buds have been much better, connects flawlessly and maintains its connection with no issues. Much better experience.
Conclusion. I would highly recommend the Galaxy Buds!

Glad I wasn't the only one that had the Runs and they would just turn off. Made me so mad.
Switched to the Galaxy buds as well. Much better connection and sound clarity. Lacking bass compared to Jaybirds.
Got mine for 105$ shipped from ATT
I'm more upset that I have to have a Samsung app on my phone.
I just got some LG TONE Ultra SE HBS-835S headphones. Around the neck design with AptX(I can't stand audio lag...), JBL sound, great bass, and absolutely no connection issues with BT 5.0
