[Q] Stereo Bluetooth Jabra HALO vs Rocketfish RF-MAB2

Hello,
I am planning to buy a stereo bt headset to use with phone and computer. I am having Jabra HALO and Rocket fish RF-MAB2 as my options. Any one have experience with one of these how is the quality and durability?
BTW I am considering Jabra because they are cheap today at http://mobile.dailysteals.com/ for just 25 + some shipping, But are they any good? how is the audio quality of Rocketfish. I am fine with not good looks but I really want good audio quality...so any insight on this would be great also please suggest me if there are any options around $60-$70 price tag..
thanks!

Jabra BT3030 is another option if you want to use your own headphones.

I am not to sure about price range , but I can tell you I bought motorola 's S9HD about 20 months ago , best purchase ever and eventhe mic quality is decent I dont get complaints eventho its obvious Im using a headset ,but for music the sound quality is just GREAT (battery life to! )
I bought mine on eBay with no box cost me around 100$ shippe to Canada ( almost 2 yrs ago), dont forget to get the HD one , not the regular one , it really is worth every penny .

I have the rocketfish....
but it all depends on what your going to use it for.
for everyday stuff the motorola is nice. very good quality from what i heard.
but if you are going to be working out and have sweat and rain than i suggest the rocketfish. it doesnt say its waterproof but it takes a better beating than the motorola.
but on the jabra im not sure.
the rocketfish isnt superior in sound but its good and when talking the person on the other side cant seem to tell that its a headset. ^^
hope that helps

Hey thanks guys....that helps a lot. To be honest I am looking for a headphone with excellent audio quality in budget..and mostly I will be using it while traveling only. Also I dont mind the mic call quality..actually I was thinking of some good wired phones like bose without mic but then I realized that third party phones dont always work good with excellent custom ROMs that are out here..and I just noticed that motorola's headphones comes with BT adapter for iPod which is good addition! but all I really care about is audio quality..so I guess moto is good right ??? or any other good options out there.. as it is I will be buying around thanksgiving so right now exploring the options and once decided I will hunt for deals

I bought the S9 (not HD) from Moto last year on Amazon for $29 - sound great for the price. I use them when working out, but otherwise i liked the wired earbuds.

I have the Rocketfish and i love them! Previously i had the Motorola s9-HD and they hurt my ears because they went in the ear. The Rocketfish rest against the ear like the old school sony headphones that wrapped around the head.

I recommend the Sony Ericsson Mw600.
Most flexible BT headset as you can plug in your own headphones. Alsp has a FM radio to boot.
Definitely worth the investment

Hi waghoba - Did you end up with the Jabra BT-650? I was looking at them after you had made your inquirey on that discount site. I started seeing what kind of reviews I could find. By the time I got around to deciding I'd give them a try they were sold out.

Same here. When I decided to buy them, they were sold out. Now I am looking for new deals on some good headphones. Although I was looking for Bluetooth headsets, many people suggested me to buy wired ones for good audio quality.

Best earphones

post here your opinions and experiences about the best earphones on the market

I dunno, it kind of depends on best for what. Cans vs buds, what kind of sound you personally like, what price-range we're talking about, et cetera.
Headphones can go upward of $1000 - this is a situation where most people don't want THE BEST, but the best their budget can afford - but there are many options and in plenty of things it's a matter of taste.

Heir audios:
http://www.heiraudio.com/CIEM.html
i have the 8.A, best experience of all IEM so far
I used to use some Ultimate Ears Triple.Fi 10 Pro with a silver cable, they were awesome too, and you can grab them new from ebay for about 170$ (with crappy standard cable, but that should be enough for most ppl)

For me, the best value are the AKG K-315 earphones... at least for listening to music in more or less quiet places, because if it is very noisy In-Ear-Phones are better. (I have to say I bought them for €15, they seem to be cheaper here in Europe than in the US)
I just love them, they sound natural, no over-amplification of anything, no need to play around with Equalizers and stuff, plus they are very comfortable to wear, the left earbud has a little bump so I don't need to look at them to know which one is the left/right... and I don't have to reach to the mp3-Player/Phone to change the volume, as they have a little slider on the cord.
But they are just phones, so no headset function, but as I listen to my music on my dedicated mp3 Player most of the time, that's not an issue for me.
Sorry if this sounded like an advertisment, but they are just that good IMHO.

i've never had a problem with skull candy

I got the Plantronics BackBeat GO (BT), good build lightweigt. but its a little to quiet... overall good earbuds

for me personally its my sennheiser mx370 as i dont like in ears and they hold up really well,
all my previous earphones did get busted in 1 or 2 years but they live since 4 years

i use Creative EP 630 .
i dont like inEars so much, but i need some inEars for my GalaxyAce.
buy it from amazon for 11€ some years ago, and they're really nice and the price is good too.:good:

Sennheiser , Skullcandy and beats.

Sony..
I have a pair of Sony MDR-NC7 headphones that I have beat the hell out of. I'm one to accidentally pull the cord quite aggressively and there is no retraction of the insulation and very minimal ware. I accually ended up sitting on them and snapping the headband so I decided to give melting the pastic with a touch a try and it worked and this happened about 2 or so years ago so I would definitely recommend this brand for reliability.

DON'T buy that WESC-****!
I bought them for my sister for her birthday. after 6 months it broke....
But in my opinion the 50€-WESC had the same sound quality like the Beats Mixr, which is far more expensive.

I use Beats by Dr.Dre also heard this Skullcandy which is availble at virgin megastores in my country

I was always a big fan if KOSS. I am using Sporta Pro. I think they are good buy for portable size and quality.

how about the Apple ones ? I had them for a while but haven't been really satisfied from the quality. I'm thinking about ~$25-40 price range. with mic.

HAHAHAHA!! Truth. I love skullcandy headphones! Lifetime warranty is amazing! It doesn't even matter if you broke them or they were defective, you just send them in and they send you new ones! FMJs are my favourite nice bass that isn't over-powering!

I use cheap skullcandy's.

yeah, the KOSS are really good for that price!

I use some hideously orange ones I found at Kmart. They're crap, just like Beats by Dre, but at least they are cost appropriate.

Good earphones for the HTC One?

Hi guys, i've been using the headphones that come with the One since i got them, but they mysteriously stopped working yesterday. I think i may have accidentally damaged the cables, anyways.... I was wondering if anyone had any good headphones they could suggest for under $100. I've heard some really great things about the Klipsch S4A lineup from other forum members and friends, and i was just wondering if any One owners had any experience with them. :good:

Just get them they are awesome
Sent from my HTC One using xda premium

I'll vouch for them... I've owned every set of Klipsch headphones and they all are better than any headphones you'll get with a phone. The only ones I'd recommend against are the low-end over-the-ear armature units they made on their first batch back in 2008.

I bought a pair of Yamaha EPH-30WH when they were on sale for $22.
Combined with Beats Audio they sound amazing! The bass is right where it needs to be, everything is so clear and I'm starting to notice instruments and effects and details in songs I just haven't been able to hear with my previous ones. Read the reviews on amazong:

Sent from my One using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

I have a 2yo set of Senn IE6s. Quite nice. I paid about $100 when I got them.

I personally use the Beats Tour.
Yes, they're very expensive BUT
sound quality is really good. Compared to the stock HTC headphones that came with the One and UrBeats (I got both with my One), well... The htc and urbeats sound very dull, even though these are pretty darn good headphones too I hear people say. I gave the UrBeats to my sis whose headphones broke and kept on listening with my Tours happily. They have released a tours 2.0 though, so I'm a bit outdated now
(they also released beats studio 2.0)
I've also heard great things about V-Moda

I use some £5 monoprice in ears which are surprisingly good considering their cost.

Munito billets, nuff said. The bass on these blow beats out if the water, they look like bullets and feel more premium than beats and cost 70 bucks

The best head phones I ever bought are the incipio f38's. You can pick them up on amazon for about 30 bucks. You won't find anything under 100 bucks that performs like them.

Beats headsets are not worth the money. You are just paying to give dr dre free advertising with that big ugly logo on the side. Children in korea or China made them at a cost of 20 bucks max they do sound good but not for what you pay for them. Im rocking sonix 3s headset they are the best ear buds I have ever had they match the htc one style perfect too.

Hi thanks man, ive done a bit of research and they look pretty good.

I've been trying out a variety of earbuds lately with my HTC One and between the Sony MH1C, V Moda Remix and Munitio Billets, I'll say I'm very happy with the Sony buds. The clarity of the frequency range(1 Hz-20kHz) is very nice, well-controlled and works for a variety of genres and it's one of the few earbuds/headsets where I've not heard that annoying static/hiss during quieter parts of songs. All three of those earbuds go for around $30-40, but the MH1C I was only able to get for that price at Negri, otherwise they go for $80 direct from Sony.

Beats headphones are garbage. They leak sound like crazy and all they focus on is bass. The clarity is terrible.

I have a set of Sony XBA-1's and I love them. They do a great job of balancing out the Beats over bassing of everything. They are highly reviewed abd very affordable. I got them on clearance at Target for $21

3rd party compatibility
Has anybody experienced issues where 3rd party (cheap) headphones don't work properly?
I have tried about 4 different ones, and with all of them there are problems. One of them skips tracks and adjusts volume when you wiggle the jack plug, others register single click as a go back to previous track.
Only the ones that came with the phone work correctly in all areas, but i have got audio coming out of only one side so need to replace them.
Got some official ones ordered from the site, but they were £30. Is this a common issue with the HTC one? Or could my phone be damaged?
Thank you.

i've tested Sony and Bose from two friends for a week, after i decided that my beats makes me happier

Rated power input 5mW
Frequency 10Hz-22000Hz
Connector 3.5mm

Looks really nice. I feel that people are going to mistake them for Beats because of the "tape" wire and the red but looks like a solid buy for ~$40.
The YouTube video is kind of a pointless ad. Doesn't even make any sense, just a mini video of punching.

But will they ever be available?

The video is really pointless IMO but I like the earphones, keeping aside the Red that reminds me of Beats. JBL quality beats Monster's (pun intended) any day of the week and at 40 USD it's a pretty solid buy.
Only thing is, I use stereo Bluetooth earphones

The brand seems to get good reviews of their sound and the design is sexy. I wish they'd come in more colours, but, the oneplus-red is quite nice too.

Trying to get a hold of the phone first, then would love a pair off these!

Release date?

I love Sennheiser, I have a pair of momentum and love them although I use my Sony MDR-1RMC for traveling on long flights. I find the Sony to be much more comfortable, I have biggish ears. My wife on the other hand had no problems with them even over long periods like on the flight to Texas from London for the F1
Why others don't have the adjustable jack angle I don't know, although I wish they didn't have the push and twist connection on the headphone side.

pistons are better

No delivery to Germany ...

Just got my e1+ today. They're actually not bad. Just needs some eq, see photo. This setting should be close to a flat response curve (to my ears at least). Each person's ears will vary.
My headphone arsenal: triple fi 10, grado sr80i, Sennheiser 560.
I think they're really great for $40, but I think they're worth $30. The plastic does feel a little cheap but then again, these aren't high end headphones. They do look durable, im planning on using these for running. The silicone tips are good but I changed them to comply tips.
The e1+ is focused more towards the mid and higher bass region. So it may sound dull. The higher treble frequencies are lacking. Good for songs with already high treble and bass heavy (eg techno, dubstep etc.) I listen to a lot if jazz and blues hence why my eq is setup this way.
If anyone is looking to getting this headphone, I say unless you can get a discount, look elsewhere.

They don't. The only reason why these are getting attention is because of the OnePlus name (which screams value) and the name brand that is JBL. They're nothing special.

Thanks for your feedback, I guess I will stick to pistons, I can buy 3 of those for the price of one. I prefer listening to real dedicated stereo system for music and only use earphones when I'm traveling.

HTC 10 Earphones Died Looking For Similar Ones

I'm looking for something similar but it's like searching for a needle in a haystack. Most of the earphones don't have noise cancellation is this important and I like the bass of the original ones. I listen mostly to Hip-Hop music. Can anyone recommend me good quality "in earphones" for not more than 35 euro/usd?

I ordered one waiting them in a week.
They are amazing earphones the problem is that its full with Fake and the real and the fake are often sell for the same price.
I bought one original and read a tons of information how to spot a fake and to be 100% sure they are the real one.
The problems is and this is why some people say well they sound good but its not something WOW is because many many people bought the fake one and they even didnt know that.
Also the funny thing is like you are playing in a casino game sometimies ONE seller sell both and someone can recive Authentic some other FAKE they do look same and if you don`t know what to look for for sure you cant realize your are just a copy of the original.
So in a week when i recive mine will write an review.
For sure the Original SOUND like an Expensive Hitech Earbuds beyond the price they sell for.
Even i know the seller i buy from sell about 200 of this Original Earphones i told him! what im looking exactly and if i recive a FAKE one imideately will open refund disput. you have to be very careful and to know how to spot them test them do they are the real Hybrid Pro HD so untill they arrive i can`t be 100% Sure that they are real.

They finally arrive after 40 days shipping wow.
I guess is not the seller faut however i dont like to wait so much time for shipping thats i dont like the shopping from Ali however:
I bought the Earbuds for 27 totall including shipping.
The Earbuds are amazing they are no doubt authentic one, comes with extra tips well packet and most important QR code that redirect you stright to the MI website with item unique ID that your pair of earbuds is legit and for warranty purpose.
The Sound of the Hybrids Pro HD is amazing they perform very very well im using my HTC 10 with Sauron MK II and im not even able to use the maxx volume.
The sound is very detailed and rich on the same time well defined and bass as well i didnt expect so good bass at all.
I have Original Beats Solo 2 and another wireless AptX Headphones.
Compared to the Hybrids they sound like a big crap now after reciving them today and have almost 4 hrs of listening im going to sell my Beats because i dont need them anymore. In fact everyone know that its very paintfull to listen lets say for more than 30 40 min with The Solos because you gona recive so much pain in the ears this mean they are not comfortable for the price of 180 British Paunds and Sounds like Crap compared to Earbuds that cost me 27 USD.
Also after 4 hrs of listening with the hybrids i dont feel pain or any kind of disconfort NO actually they are very confortable as well and not heavy on the ears.
With another worth go buy Hybrid Pro HD of course original ones much more better than the Stocks the Beats and who know what more they worth every penny for the performance they have.
