I'll have the Jabra BT620s in the mail today... I'll post a review asap.
Jabra BT headphone
As promised;
I got the Jabra headset yesterday, and last night I was able to try it. First of all, sound quality is better than expected. Setup was somewhat confusing, since the manual is not so clear. But, I managed. Made a couple of phonecalls, all fine. Overall, nice set of headphones. Luckily, the flashing blue leds can be turned off.
Hi
I use the Anycom BSH-100. The Headset is not bad at all, with HS/HF/A2DP/ AVRRCP and a up to 200 h standby + upto 12 h music playtime.
Tech data here: http://www.anycom.com/products/bluetooth_audio_video/stereo_headset_bsh_100/?id=102&partno=CC3300
There is no buildin Microphone. A small (about 3 cm) mic is attacht to the side mini usb-jack. This mini usb-jack is also used to charge the batteries. Most of the time i forgett the mic, when charging the Headset, so i use the Headset often to listen to mp3s and recive calls without using the headset. ( a bild in Mic would be better) The headset goes to mute when a call comes in.
picture here: http://files.anycom.com/images/products/lifestyle/cc3300_lifestyle_01.jpg
+ (plus):
Handling is very easy.
Long Standby & playtime
small transport size (faltable)
- (minus):
seperate Mic
Sound Quality is OK but not as good as a normal wired-headset. (maybe normal for BT)
no option to turn of the flashing blue led
best regards Oliver
Hi, Anyone using Jabra Bt320 with the Touch? I tired to connect for stereo headset but its fails. I had the same problem with Dopod 810 but some after making some changes in the registry the problem was solved. I tired the same tweaks in Touch but it fails. Any suggestion from the forum? Thanks
I used the BT320
and the stereo was fine. I also made the adjustments to the registry and it carried on working fine.
However, I sent the unit back because I bought a Jabra 120s with it and found that, after initial pairing problems (which went away), there was an audio lag which made watching TV rubbish!
When you pair with the BT320s, you should have the option to use it as either
1. a hands-free or
2. wireless stereo.
If you don't, delete the device from your Touch then...
...plug the BT320s into it's charger, three times, for 4 seconds each time.
Now pair again and the option for wireless stereo will magically appear.
Try Motorola S9. Nice and solid. Matches Touch design too.

You get what you pay for comes to mind with BT headsets.
I have yet to come across one headset that plays great stereo sound
and gives you great call quality. However, for stereo sound the Motorola
S9 kicks arse over anything out there and the Jawbone does the voice
calls better than anyone out there. S9 is around $100US and the Jawbone
is $130US ish. Not cheap but you won't be looking to replace them because
they don't do their job. Now if you have a big melon the S9 maybe a problem.
AE!
Hi.
I got the HT820 from Mototola.
Sound is good.
Easy installation on Touch.
Noise cancelling.
Looks a little bit spacy but fits good.
AND I payed 12€ for it on ebay.de.
I use BT320s
Hi,
I am using Jabra BT320s, It just works fine with my Touch. I did the in pairing initially, but after I upgraded with latest firmware I don't have any problem in pairing.
firmware can be found here
http://rapidshare.com/files/51865424/JabraBT320swebupdate_1077.zip
Please read the instruction to update the firmware
Well i got the Motorola BT820 last week, very satisfied
great sound nice volume, little weakness but accepteble by my standard
when theres a lot of static noise the build in mic does piick up on that a bit.
i use it for mp3 mostly, and o yeah its comfortoble too
price is nice if i compare to other headsets,
still thinking about trying the new logitech headset
is there anybody who has experienced it
I have posted a question regarding a small problem with the Bb20s right here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=326489
This is a description of my problem, as posted. Does anyone have an idea?
---
Received my Jabra 620s yesterday. First impressions: it is quite big and heavy, but it is better than earplugs ;-) Sounds quality is quite good.
Here is my problem: After pairing the headset with my device, everything behaves as expected until some event (this happend on multiple occasions, different trigger but the same result): the headset controls still function (i.e. I can skip songs etc), but the HTCs audio is routed to the HTC speaker instead of the headset. I cannot fix this, the only way is to remove the bluetooth connection, repair and I am good to go again.
I'd second the comment on the Motorola S9. I got the S9 to go with my old magician, but now that I've upgraded to the Touch, things are even better.
The S9 workd flawlessly for stereo music and also as a regular hands free headset. I can't tell you how many times I've been out jogging, litening to music and I get a cal from people. They say the call sound quality is good, but always wonder why I'm breaking fast.
I hve changed to HTC BH S100 (in-ear is better for jogging)
sound quality is good, no problems...yeah should be no problems when using HTC stuff only ;-)
i found the Motorola S9s to be outstanding. I have never been so happy with a BT headet.
Sony DR-BT30 Q
Got it for 34 euro's and they make me happy.
Good reach on the touch compared to my wizard
Hi there I bought a Sony MEX-BT2800 radio this weekend and it has a built-in Bluetooth receiver for phone and music. My EVO pairs fine with the radio but the sound quality is really poor I have background static and a hissing noise whenever the bluetooth is being used. I thought perhaps it was the radio so I tried my phone on there floor model and I had the same noise problems. It could very well be the radio but some reviews I've read online from other buyers say there Bluetooth audio is crystal clear using there Iphones. I had my old HTC Excalibur lying around so I threw some mp3's on it and tried that phone on my radio and the static was still there but much quieter and the hissing noise was gone. So now I'm thinking it could be the phones Bluetooth radio that's causing the excessive static.
So I guess my main question is. Is there anyway to possibly adjust the bluetooth driver or audio stack to work better with my radio. I remember back in my G1 days Cyanogen would release new roms with bluetooth stack fixes.
This might be self-explanatory, but double check that the volume on your phone is all the way up when streaming. I get some hissy noise when the media volume is low, but I know that the sound quality of the bluetooth on the EVO is very good when paired with my car audio (at top volume), might be that you have a defective device.
Yeah I tried some different volume settings. Tried low med and high volumes on the phone didn't really matter what volume was on the phone. It must be the built in bluetooth module in this radio. I'm assuming your setup uses an external bluetooth module?
I have a Dual brand deck installed and I also bought a separate bluetooth adapter (with a mic and a 'call' button) that attaches to the rear of the deck via a cable, made by the same company. Maybe see if you can try connecting your EVO to a different type of audio device, if the problem persists your phone is likely at fault.
I'm having the same issues with my EVO on a different device - specifically the blackberry bluetooth media gateway. I have a little more technical details posted over here:

I've noticed a lag while using Plantronics Discovery headset. The headset was working fine previously with an HTC Fuze. So, I was under the impression that this was probably due to a faulty blue tooth stack on the device. Has anyone else had similar experience with Plantronics or other blue tooth headsets?

Not sure if anyone else is experiencing this but I have a buzzing sound in my headphones in the left ear. It is fairly loud when the phone is idling. When I switch apps or screens it goes away momentarily then starts again. I have tested it in the music app and it does not appear to be an issue while playing music. I checked some very low volume sources and its not there. Still I wonder if I have a bad unit or have something activated doing this. I am completely stock new AT&T LG G3.
Update: After testing a few more sets of headphones, this only happens on my Bose QC15s which have the noise cancellation. Its interesting though that the Bose are dead silent on my Galaxy S5 and my wifes iphone. I tried both cables with them (since one is designed for idevices) but it doesn't make a difference. Not sure what interference they are picking up but I think I will take them to an AT&T store this weekend and see if it does it on their display models.
Is it anything like...

I think it's the same thing. With the Bose it's like a humming buzzing sound. I don't hear it at all with the Apple $79 IEMs. They are listed at 23ohm impedance. With mine it's as if theorizing switches on and off though. I can switch apps or play music and its dead quiet after I immediately pause but then it clicks back to buzzing.

Same here, Bose QC20 LG G3 D855... Left Channel buzzing.
Do you think it's a defect of the phone?
they all have this problem, let's hope an update

I was almost returning my G3 and i was like "Hell no, again..." , i have exchanged my nexus 5, 5 times! and still has the same problem!
One interesting thing I will note guys, when I plug my headphones in that I hear a buzzing sound, I get the headphone icon in the NB. When I plug in the Apple headphones that I cannot hear the buzzing sound at all I get the headset icon in the NB.
I have read this is a Kit Kat 4.4 issue but I did not have it at all with a Galaxy S5. I am hoping it will be fixed soon but I am thinking about grabbing some different headphones anyway.
I have the buzzing just listening through the earpiece on the phone itself, no headphones required. I have the T-Mobile D851 model. So one would theorize that this is also using power since it's powering the earpiece to make noise. Some kind of electrical interference in the phone itself would be my guess.
Hi. Just got my UK spec G3 in the last few hours and I've just come across what I believe is the same problem. There is a distinct buzzing/crackling/static sounds when I have headphones connected via the 3.5mm jack. The sound is only present when I have certain media playing (using Spotify at the moment). I only notice this when connected using the jack and not when using my Bluetooth receiver (HTC BH S600). I did hear this while using two pairs of earphones while they were directly plugged into the device, the LG QuadBeat 2s from my G3 and the in box headphones from my old HTC One M7.
This has to be a software problem. I was just testing again and the buzzing becomes stronger in any app I use just when I touch the screen and scroll. I hope this is an easy fix in a custom rom. Also as I reported earlier, I do not have the buzzing during playback. I know this because I have tested some very quiet tracks and also checked on some very long gaps between songs. If it is humming it is much quieter. Only when I exit out of the Music app it is immediately quiet then it clicks in at about 2-3 seconds. I have also had a few quirks today where my headphones come up with the Aux Icon then after pausing the Music app a few times they switch to the Headset icon.
Not really sure what is going on but there has to be a software fix.
I will say the Music app sounds unbelievable with Viper4Android installed. It definitely has more oomph than with Play Music. Comparing the same tracks in both apps back and forth, the Music app is cleaner. Not sure what LG has done in that app but I like it.
I only get a buzz during charging. Disconnect the charger and it goes away. Most devices I've owned have the same issue recently. S4, S5, note 3, moto maxx, moto X, nexus 5 have all done it to me but only while charging
I have a really nasty popping crackling sound in between tracks when using aux in my car, but headphones no issues... Never had that problem at all on my nexus 5 so it can't be my head unit in my car
I wanted to post an update to this problem. I originally reported I had this issue with my Bose QC15 headphones. I do not have this issue with my Apple In Ear headphones. Today I was diagnosing things again and had been listening the the Apples. The Apples always correctly have the headphone icon show up in the Notification bar. When I plug in the Bose, I always get the Aux icon. This got me to thinking about if the cable was different. I pulled the cable out of the Bose and on the end that inserts into the headphones themselves there is a Hi Low switch. Mine was on high. When I switched it to Low, the G3 started to recognize them as headphones and not show the Aux icon. The hissing and buzzing immediately went away and its dead quiet. This switch is an input level switch and undoubtedly having it on Hi causes the G3 to not recognize the Bose properly.
There is a thread about the Aux input problem and I think they have it diagnosed. Its going to take some software manipulations. I listen to my G3 in my car through Bluetooth so I do not experience any issues on that end like the folks in that thread. As for headphones, I am not having the issue with my 2 sets.
Just a little update...
Updated to V10E, issue seems to be fixed...
No more buzzing noise in my left channel...

I have this problem when I plug into the car aux port (noise in between tracks). Just a quick question, which icon should appear in the NB if I plug in an audio cable from the Aux socket?

How strange...
Sent from from my LG-D855
I picked up a D855 V10d (Telstra branded Australia) two days ago and noticed this yesterday myself.
I have Shure SE425 canals and they make the static noise when idle, very noticeable on these headphones. When music or audio is playing the static goes away. This is of course only when the charger is plugged in.
I tested it with the LG headphones that came with the phone and the noise is still there but softer, grabbed my Samsung headphones that came with my S4 and couldn't hear anything. I believe it's due to the resistance of the headphones.
Another test was to turn off the phone and charge it with the headphones plugged in, no static noise if I did this.
Going to exchange the phone today as it's unacceptable, I primarily use it at work to listen to music and often charge it at the same time.
I really like this phone, everything about it is great for me EXCEPT the sound quality. Anything that has to do with the headphone jack is an absolute disaster.
First off I have not experienced the dreaded AUX problem but I have experienced random pausing and skipping - as if I was pressing music controls on my headset - both in my car and on my headphones. I think a headphone jack is starting to wear?
Next I have experienced terrible distortion and static in the left channel, that was until I rooted and Installed Viper4Android. While the problem didn't go away entirely its much better than stock.
Im using my g3 with 3 or 4 devices....
My Acura's line in with Subs/Amps ect.
Shure SE846 In ear monitors
Fiio e6 amp (with the shures, sometimes helps sound quality)
Bluetooth to my Bose Soundlink
The flaws of the g3's sound output are noticeable on any of these, even the bluetooth soundlink and ESPECIALLY, on the SE846 direct.
I created this thread because I dont know what to do, its apparent I am an audiophile and care about my sound quality and youd think Id invest in some sort of MP3 player (I do have a Clip+ ) but I really enjoy using spotify. Should I buy a DAC and just avoid the g3s sound card all together or call and fight with LG and see what they can do?
Is anyone else having these problems? I have the Verizon Device.
I use Westone's connected through a Sony SB52. I haven't noticed any issue except that I like Sony's Walkman app better on my Xperia than LG's player.
I'm fairly picky about music quality and I haven't noticed any issues at all with my HD419s (the only headphones I have right now). Audio quality through aptx bluetooth directly to a car amp and polk component speakers is as good as one would expect too. No skipping or pausing with LG's app. Is that happening when your screen is on? Try turning it off, maybe it's a screen issue? Or maybe it's a glitch with the app you are using? The only problem I had with it was how quiet it was with headphones but the fix with root worked well.
There are several threads about the strange hissing sound - which I also got myself. LG has told me that they're working on fixing it and that it's a known flaw in the current ROMs.
I just got mine and I think this is the best sounding phone I have ever heard. Of course my expectations were very low after my experience with Apple and Samsung.
This opinion is coming from a very jaded HiFi gearhead so your mileage may vary.
The problem I'm facing..
There is noise+distortion+hissing during call
And when headphones are connected I cant understand or listen any thing I only hear wired noises..
Any fix guys ?
Dont know if its technical or software based issue
The sound quality has been noticeably bad for me using headphones also, bluetooth isn't too much of a problem and works fine.
I just got my headphone jack replaced free from LG (as it was doing the random skipping thing) - I quoted that it was a known problem (i mean look on XDA for all the threads) and as my phone was under warranty, i flashed stock firmware and sent it back - when i got it back in 48 hours it was replaced and working. They even cleaned the screen for me lol.
I don't use a headset, only headphones, and the quality is most noticeable on my sennheiser hd800s, but also on my beyerdynamic headphones. Install Viper audio and it improves slightly.
I got mine replaced today as well.
New phone bingo !!
Hi, I'm having trouble with my G3's earphone jack. When I plug in a pair of regular earphones (no mic, inline controls, etc.), the phone most of the times detects it wrongly and the little headphone icon in the status bar shows a headset (earphones with mic) and slight knocks will make it do stuff like start playing music, etc.
And now, I recently bought a pair of XiaoMi Pistons, earphones with mic and inline controls, but most of the time the inline controls don't work. At first I thought it's a problem with the XiaoMi earphones, but I tested it with the stock Quadbeats earphones that came with the phone and still same problem.
The first problem was a common one as I found many people has the same problem online, but the second...not really, so is it a common problem or just a problem with my phone and should send it in for servicing?
I'm on rooted stock Kitkat V10k-SEA-XX. Thanks
