Bluetooth Stereo: Jabra BT620s vs Motorola HT820 vs others?

I'm thinking of getting a Bluetooth stereo headset, mainly for running. Any recommendations?

I am using a Motorola HT820 with pleasure.
It is very comfortable and has a good sound.
I sometimes do have a high frequency interferense, but that's not bothering me.
More BT headsets have this issue, as you can read here: link
But you say you need it for running.
Keep in mind that the Motorola (and others) are worn horizontally on your ears.
I don't know if they keep in place when running.
I can imagine they start to lower by every step.

Never had a problem with my Motorolla HT820, plus it only cost $75. I am pretty sure Jabra's are more expensive.

Yes, it does stay on when you are running. It has ear hooks to sit comfortably on your ear. Pictures here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=46786

Does you Motorola HT820 not produce some high pitch noise? That's what I've gathered from my research on the Internet.

I've never encountered this high pitched sound. So far, no complaints on mine.

Hi there.
I did encounter the high-pitch noise you mention, so much that I had to return the Motorola, which was otherwise an *awesome* product on all respects.
But I'm not so sure the problem necessarily comes from the headset... I wouldn't be surprised if it were the signal from the Universal that causes this high-frequency noise. Unfortunately, I didn't keep it long enough to try reverting back to radio ROM version 1.09 (as I use v1.11) or to try it with other bluetooth stereo sources.
They indeed are fairly heavy, though, and I'm not sure if they'd remain comfortably on the ears if used when jogging.
Besides, as they have a closed design, it is potentially dangerous to wear them in urban areas, for instance.

My HT820s don't have a high pitch noise either. I paid full US retail for mine, $129.99 @ Radioshack because they were the only ones in town that had them in stock and I do not trust Ebay with Motorola products. Half of them are knock offs :lol:
I really like my HT820s, they sound pretty good, comfy for a 2-hour period or so, and battery life is superb.

I bought O2 exec while ago and been using it daily. such a wonderful device, it answered to every demands that my business required. Love to have a wireless headset to listen to music so I just bought blueant X5 bluetooth headset. One word, WOW, sound is so clear and it does have a good bass response. Compare this with Moto HT820, I think it does have better quality. Picked it up at 155 AUD at landmark Computer shop ( RRP is 199 AUD).
Advantage
1. Good bass response
2. Accessories bundle in one package
( including audio streamer device which I find the most advantageous compare to others products )
3. Long lasting batteries ( I was playing music non-stop for 11 hours and there is still some left in batteries that I think it can go over 12 hours without any problem )
4. Quite good user manual ( even my girlfriend can follow its instruction to setup )
I didn't have problem with high pitch noise when it is near my computer or other mobile phone.
155 AUD is also the cheapest price I can find. you need to do a bit of bargain cuz they ask for 165 Aud.
Cheers

I have a Jabra BT620s and it's working great. The sound is awsome (phone and MP3) and A2DP is no problem at all.
Batterylife is very good (+/- 12 hrs on one charge)
Buttons on the headset for phone and mediaplayer.
Sound is very good (no weird noise or high pitched things )
And had good reception, I can carry my 9000 in my pocket, without hickups or lags.
Just one weird thing though, if you use the headset, and pickup an incomming call with the button on the phone... the sound goes through the normal internal speaker on the 9000 and NOT the headset :S But if you use the headset button, no problems
edit:
The price € 99,-- (at www.pdashop.nl)
another edit:
You can charge the headset via USB! And it can work as a headset on a computer via the USB cable.

HS-12W:My preferred BT-Stereo Headset has no more warranty.

because in order to get it, I had to cut the original earbuds off...
How did I get to do this? (either read the story or jump to the end.... )
I had first tried out the Sony Ericsson HBH-DS970 and found out that it was not enough compatible with the HTC Universal (e.g.: after a call it would not continue to tranmit the music stream)
I then tried the HS-12W. All important features are supported, just ID-Tags are not transmitted nore is the name of the caller (but the number is).
On top of it it has a RDS-FM radio built-in...and looks good too...I decided I wanted to keep it.
Only problem: I could hardly understand anything....the original earbuds had a shape/size that just sat so strangely in my ear that the front was not exposed to the inner ear but rather covered so that the sound level was just too low.
Since I am one of these guys who do not give up easily when they are convinced of an idea, I was looking for a solution to the problem.
I remembered an enhancement item for the original ipod earbuds: I bought a couple of Griffin Ear Jams. I cut them in a shape to fit the Nokia buds and glued them to the rubberborder of the ear buds. Not bad at all. It was loud and had much more bass than before.
It did not maybe look supergreat with these white add ons, and frankly, the more I was listening, I found the sound to be lacking treble and somewhat sounded like from under a pillow. My personal belief is that the original earbuds are lacking treble in order to reduce the transmission of some white noise caused by the BT connection...and with the Ear Jams in place that enhanced the bass the pillow sound was perfect. It was really not bad at all, but as I said, with the time I noticed it more and more...
Before buying the Nokia, I had used Sennheiser CX-300 headphones when listening to music. An excellent value for money, it rivals easily headsets of double the price.
Now, all of a sudden. with the Nokia, I had no use for the Sennheiser anymore.... It was just laying there, on the board, getting dusty.....
should I never ever be using it anymore? Such a good pair of headphones...if only the Nokia had better earbuds...
Do you guess the rest?
Yes, i did it: I cut the original earbuds from the Nokia, freed the Sennheisers from it's cables...and transplanted them onto the Nokia HS-12W....
Yes, it worked. And it sounds just soooo good.

where did you cut it? just near to the earbuds or at the connection to the neck? (the other end of the cable)?
My problem is with the Universal + HS12W combo is that its SOOOOOO stuttering :evil: . If its on me, the Uni is in my hand, it can stutter... it can always stutter... I ask: why?? Maybe it's not because of the reception quality because at home I can move to the other room and it doesn't loose the connection just the stuttering factor rises... Is it the bandwidth or lacking CPU?
I'm starting to think about throwing it to the wall...
other con: radio sensitivity is very BAD.

I cut them somewhere in beteen the earbud and the microphone so i did not lose the speaking function. (sennheiser is only headphone).
i agree with the suttering issue. i tend to believe that it is more the pda side..bad antenna construction..but at the end who cares if it does not work...i must say the way i am using the combo i can live with the shortcomings. i also feel the stuttering increases with the transferred bitrate.
as far as the fm reception is concerned: i am not unhappy with the quality, obviously it is n ot noise free most of the time, but i get my main stations in a reasonable manner, i find. (and then most of the time i am listening to internet radio streams..i am on a 5GB plan...
cheers,
Andy.

I can agree with the bad radio construction on the uni side.. This was mentioned in an other topic too I think . It's good you have 5GB plan.. we have only 200MB for a reasonable price.
How do you control the bitrate between the devices? Does the mentioned registry setting (hklm\sw\ms\bluetooth\a2db\setting) working? I've started to play with it, but originally, this key hasn't existed.
i was thinking about the lifetime of this device, because of the battery (not replaceable)by user, and the fixed headphones... looking ath the price of that headset i don't want to throw it away after just one year..

Hi kchris,
sorry for late reply, I did not get a notification.
re. bitrate control I cannot comment. I just meant to notice that with higher bitrate e.g. different quality of radio streams, the connection is more sensitive since the buffer holds less seconds of sounds.
I only have a problem if i use the universal in the rear pocket of my pants. the body is a real obstacle for bluetooth waves, it seems. not very elegant, but it works: if you hang the display over your shoulder so it hangs down on your back, there is no stuttering if the htc is in the rear pocket....(at least in my case).
There is a screw at the back of the device...no I have not opened it yet...lol...but I would guess one can have access to the battery easily, the question is only where to get a new one from... :?
(Between you and me: gadget freek that I am, I would be surprised if I still have it in one year....but who knows...I really like it...)
Exchanging against the Sennheisers for me was a great solution, the sound has improved so much, I did not expect it, I must say.
I have to admit: I love to adapt things to my needs....
There are headsets where you can use the headphones of your choice, but I think in this case the mic must be in the device itself, so it will be quite far away from your mouth..or maybe it could have a mic on a cable that you have to clip somewhere high on the shirt..I don't know how good this is supposed to work or how convenient it can be...

Suggestions on a Sport Stereo Bluetooth that WORKS with the s3

looking for a little input from people who have (or have tested) any stereo bluetooth headset on the s3.
Background: I had a LG tone+ which i actually loved and it worked perfectly on my One S. Then i decided to get the s3 and this thing cannot stay connected for ANYTHING. i have tried kernels, roms, hacks, pretty much everything. It would stay connected for a little while, but always would lose connection and not reconnect even after i delete and re-add the headset.
Here are my list of thing i would like to have in the headset:
Decent sound (amazing sound would be prefered but i am realistic here )
sweat-proof (at least to some extent)
connects to the s3 consistently
Would prefer $100 or less but would pay more if its THE headset (not sure THE one exists yet though)
BTW, i could care less what call quality is. I may take an occasional cal when working out, but not often enough to care what my voice sounds like to the caller.
If anyone has any thought or experience, i have been eyeing the following ones, but always open to other suggestions:
Jaybird freedom
motorola SF600
plantronics 903+
Thanks for any help!

How about the LG Tone? From reviews, the sound quality isn't quite as good as with the Tone+, but the range is vastly better and it cuts out far less frequently (if at all).
In fact, I've been using the LG Tone headset for 4+ months now. Mostly I use it at the gym while lifting, but have also used it for running, cycling, and making phone calls around the house (phone is 20+ feet away when I'm talking on the phone). Sometimes I make phone calls while at the gym too (but phone is in my pocket).
I don't think there has been a single time where they have cut out. The sound isn't what I would call "stellar", but it's not majorly worse than the headphone port on the S3. And my comparison point is a wired Sennheiser earbud set.

I second this. I had my LG Tone for over a year before I broke it. I listened to it for at least 10 hours a day while at work. Never disconnected and battery life was great.

Huh.. i know this is a dumb question, but you are using this on your s3 right?? lol the strage thing about the tone+ is it works on my wifes one s almost flawlessly.
How is the sound quality? Sufficient? Not severely lacking in any area? The tone+ had really great sound was actually pretty impressed.
Thanks!! :good:

If you read through the reviews on Amazon, there is at least one review between the Tone and Tone+. One guy said that although the Tone+ sounded a little better, the Tone+ eventually got shelved in favor of the Tone because of the poor connectivity of his Tone+.
The Tone sounds good enough to me, though the bass is be a bit lacking. When I'm working out I could care less if the audio is superb.
If you consider yourself an audiophile you shouldn't even consider BT headphones (IMO).

You might consider using a standalone bluetooth receiver (like this or this) and a pair of regular earphones/headphones.
I personally have the Antec one and use it with my Sennheiser CX270 earphones, which works well at the gym.

I have the Motorola S-11HD
Awesome sound, 80 bucks APT-X Codec, 5 minutes to charge, will connect every time and has a range of over 50 feet.

I have the Jaybird and I'd say it's a good choice. Never had any problems connecting to my S3 though some reviews claim the blue tooth is "weak" because of the small antenna size. I wear it on my right arm (for running) or in my pocket. It's worked fine for 4 months of running 3 times a week so far. It has a lifetime warranty for sweat so I'm not too worried about that. The on/off button is less than ideal to push because of it's stiffness and the geometry of the ear bud but I don't use it for calls so that isn't very important to me It has a lot of options for getting the correct fit which is nice. I'm guessing I get about 5-6 hours of play time from each charge (I charge weekly so I rarely run into this).
Overall I'd say the Jaybird is a good option.

Best Budget Wireless Earbuds: QCY Q29 Wireless Earbuds

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.

Tribit XSound Go Portable Bluetooth Speaker Review

Hi folks!
I have never actually heard of Tribit. The company is not as well known as let's say Sony. Nevertheless, encouraged by a quality of its headset, I decided to get another device from this company.
My current experience with Bluetooth speakers was not the greatest. I had a cheap speaker that was quiet and distorted the sound significantly. My goal was buying something cheap and relatively good, so I turned my eyes into Tribit XSound Go speaker, which costs less than $40.
Regarding sound quality, Go is an excellent choice. The sound quality is crystal clear, it has nice bass and is really loud. I tried the speaker both inside and outside the house, and the result was satisfying. The Bluetooth signal was strong enough to sustain a connection in a 15 meters range outside and ~10 meters inside the house. I wasn't expecting anything more from a speaker in this price range.
According to Tribit, the XSound Go speaker can play the music constantly for up to 24 hours. I must admit that I wasn't using the speaker for such a long period. In my case, the speaker had no problems to get me through the day of usage (~8 hours). According to other reviews that I could find online, the speaker lasts for about 11 hours, which might be true. It's a decent result for a device that is so small. As a cherry on top, we can take the fact that the speaker is IPX7 rated. This means that you can listen to music underwater for half an hour
The last thing I would like to mention is a design. Unlike the other speakers I owned, the XSound Go doesn't look like a plastic toy. It has a decent design with five function buttons on top. Additionally, on the back of the device, you will find a micro USB port for charging and AUX port if you would like to connect a device via a cable. The device comes with a USB cable for charging.
I'm giving it 4.5/5, as the only downside is a long charging time. If you are looking for a cheap and quality speaker, you should consider giving it a try! More on Amazon.
