Hello guys,
I am planning to use this http://www.amazon.com/Belkin-Bluetooth-Hands-Free-BlackBerry-Smartphones/dp/B004EHZUYG
Now the bluetooth receiver will connect directly to my aux port in my car.
The Note 2 has an awesome sound chip which I really like as opposed to my old Dell Streak 5, but once it is paired with the bluetooth receiver, will it be bypassing the audio hardware, and thus the audio quality will be reduced as opposed to connecting it directly to the aux port?
One of the most striking diffrences between the Note 1 and 2 is the sound of the bluetooth audio.
It is way way better than it used to be.I don't know how it compares to direct, but I love it!
It's so good I just went and bought bluetooth headphones for nearly £300.
The Note has the latest bluetooth codec and so do the headphones
Apt-X Head Units

It will be better still when Apt-X enabled head units start shipping. Apt-X is a Bluetooth protocol which sounds nearly as good as a wire (some would say it's indistinguishable), and the Note 2 supports it. As far as I know, no currently available car head units support it, but CSR, the company that makes it (and the Bt chips in the Note 2) started shipping chips intended for car head units over the summer, so you should be able to get one real soon. I'm holding out on a new head unit now.
The headphones I got are apt-X, should get them in a couple of days
I got the other version of this Belkin BT handsfree, the one with buttons to change stations and scan, etc. Anyways, I was extremely amazed at the sound quality over the bluetooth. Prior to Note 2, I had iPhone 4 and the music sound so bad, very flat and crappy and I assumed it was because of the bluetooth. But when I switched to Note 2, I was stunned by the music quality, it sounds a whole lot better and so clear.
But be aware that by using the Note 2 stock music player, the sounds will be just as terrible as the iPhone 4. The best sounds I got was from playing music over PowerAmp, the differences were crazily huge.
So there you have it, I hope you enjoy it as much as I am
EDIT: this is the model I got, http://www.megabuy.com.au/belkin-caraudio-connect-fm-bluetooth-p310046.html
Griffin Technologies Blue Trip Aux
I got it from Amazon here

I was surprised at how great my music sounded. I especially like how it turns on and off with the car.
Written on my Samsung Galaxy Note II
So, i saw lots of discussions around for a usb-c headphones that actually works with pixel 2 (mine is pixel 2xl)..
I ordered long time ago this usb-c headset from AliExpress, and forgot about it, then i received it today.. And it wooooorks.. Its actually really good (not saying high end headset good) but high volume, definitely noticeable bass, and very cheap (about 10$)..
So the secret was when i was searching for something that works with pixel 2 is to have CDLA (maybe a dax feature or a driver in it)..
Below you can see its picture and a link.. but also you can just search for usb c with CDLA on AliExpress..
The link:
Original Letv CDLA Earphone Letv 2Pro HiFi Chip Inbedded Continual Digital Lossless Audio Type-C for Xiaomi 6 Gold Galved Mic
http://s.aliexpress.com/z2aAjyMf
(from AliExpress Android)
What i don't like (but can live with it since its that cheap) is that its not in ear, its more like the shape of apple's one's.. And the mic is on the wire of the left ear (strange given that am used to the mic being on the right ear wire)
Honestly, the main reason for me to use it is that am on the phone a lot, and i want a quick plug and play mono headset, so am going to cut off one of the ears speakers (mono conversion).. And with it being that cheap, i don't mind the cutting (at least not a 50$ plus for an earset that i will end up cutting)
BAHAHA Looks like they took their iPhone headphones and put a USB C on instead of a Lightning. But having used the apple ones I might be interested in a pair since I kinda like em.

No wonder you forgot about the order. It's like getting a surprise gift.
How does music sound on them?

Louder than any normal 3.5 with an adapter, clear enough (but not high end clear), with a very noticeable bass (which i like, but again not high end bass)..

Instead of a dongle it should be an adapter that is cordless. Just the input and output on each side. Probably lose it even faster haha

These are the same headphones that come with the LeEco S3, Pro, etc. I have them and they are very impressive. They truly sound better than earbuds in the $100 range.

Hahahaha.. But mmmmm should google pay me then ?
Back at low price, I'm going to buy it!
Music worked but microphone didn't. Anyone else have a similar experience?
Yeah..mic don't work properly during a phonecall. The other party I called said that there was a loud annoying buzzing electrical noise when I use this headphone. I bought 2 pieces and both had the same issue. Disappointed
This will change my idea... Damn
wanted to buy this until i saw the price.........
Yaaaa noticed that too.. Sometimes the mic doesn't work.. Agree with most here..
Other suggestion for type c earphones working with mic?
Can't get these to work on my phone. Is there an option I haven't enabled, or is Flash Kernel interfering in someway maybe?
Can confirm they work on my computer so its not the headphones themselves
EDIT: so interestingly I flipped around the usb cord and it works haha. Weird how it works one way and not the other.
Mine arrived yesterday and the microphone works perfectly.

So the Pixel Buds seem more like Pixel Duds according to the reviews, and I really cannot stand earbuds which don't seal the ear channel. I'm wondering if any of you have founds truly wireless earbuds they are truly satisfied with. I guess likely candidates are
Samsung Gear IconX (2018)
Bose SoundSport Fee
Jabra Elite Sport True
Bragi Dash Pro
Sony WF-1000X
B&O BeoPlay E8
but most revies on amazon/tech sites are hinting that they are just not completely market ready yet.
Really interested in what works best with the Pixel 2. Thanks!
Was actually thinking of buying the apple airpods for pixel 2

I've been enjoying these Treblab XR500 . I spent like $30 to $40 dollars at most for em off Amazon. They sound amazing. Sometimes you have to resync if u turn them on while music is playing. Can't go wrong either way

I bought airpods. It seems they work fine as long you use only with one devices.
But for me switching between 3 devices (Pixel 2, Android Tablet, Windows Laptop) was a nightmare.
I actually came to a point of frustration when I could not get airpods staying connected to my tablet, so I seriously consider returning them.
I love my Bragi Dash Pros, they sound great and have a lot of feature to them. The noise cancelling is excellent and the gestures are really nice once you get use to them.
Unfortunately, they suffer from the Pixel Bluetooth bug like many other BT headsets (Can prompt voice command, but it won't hear you, supposed to be fixed soon).
The biggest issue I have in general is their Bluetooth signal strength, I haven't had issues using them with the Pixel fortunately but on my OP5, just putting my phone in my back pocket would cause audio to cut in and out.
Odd thing is I could set my OP5 down and go over a room and they would be fine, so IDK.
Anyways:
Pros:
Great sound for BT headphones (especially with V4A!!)
lots of features (Alexa integration just got added too)
Great battery life (definitely get around 5 hours of use out them at work, pop them in the case when I go to lunch which holds a lot of charge, top back up quick!)
Cons:
No AptX
Expensive compared to some of the competition
BT connection could be better with certain devices
Got a Sennheiser CX BT7.00 bundled with the Google Pixel 2 as a pre-order offer. Have been using it for the past couple of days and must say it is making complete use of aptX.
I bought the MEIZU EP52 from here https://www.geekbuying.com/item/MEIZU-EP52-Bluetooth-Headphones-with-Mic-385260.html. They're $37. and sound good, especially for the price. I've paired them with several devices without problems. Also, one very important point is that the headphones are APT-X digital audio compatible. If you don't get APT-X on your headphones, when you watch a video the lip sync will most likely be off. There are reviews available on youtube.

Not necessarily, my Dash Pros don't have APTX and voice/lips are always in sync.

Those Dach Pros are awesome looking earbuds! I just realized that this thread was meant specifically for "truly" wireless earbuds. Anyway I was curious and checked the specs for the Dach Pros, apparently they suppport the AAC codec which has low latency. My Pixel 2 uses the AAC codec in my BMW and it sounds pretty good.

Depends on your budget.
Some good brands:
LG
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).

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
