Sound is great. Doesn't interface well with my 2014 Mazda though. Can't browse music.

Have been using the 10 with Ford Sync over BT, a Bose BT adapter, Jaybird Bluebuds X, and at least two other BT speakers since February. No problems. I now also have a stock Verizon 10 and that also plays to BT audio without problems. Note that you will *not* have the same circuitry you can use on the wired headphones, but sound quality will be as good as the system to which you stream.
I've been having problems with bluetooth disconnecting every 10 minutes or so from my Appradio 4. But it reconnects within 10 seconds, so i'm not quite sure whats going on, and if its on the phone side or Appradio side.

Does anyone know a Bluetooth car speaker that will connect with the HTC One X?
Something that will play out anything that I play on my HOX as the volume on the phone is a but low, then I'll be able to hear the sat nav.
There's a few on Amazon but HTC and Bluetooth has always been a bit dodgy.
I've tried searching but the Tapatalk app keeps searching in all catagories even when I select just this forum.
Anyone?
Bluetooth is a standard, so in theory any BT device (i.e: speaker, hands free unit, headset etc..) should work with One X. I have tried my phone with 3 BT devices (an A2DP clip, a car head unit and a headset), without any major issues.
Instead of getting a crappy mono speaker, why not get a BT FM transmitter, or if you have an Auxilary input on your car stereo then a BT adapter that connects though Aux port (better sound quality compared to FM)
I am using super tooth HD, which works fantatiscally well, with everything that can be played; n bt, calls, notification, GPS, music...

Venturi Mini
I use a Venturi Mini. BT and FM (my stereo has no aux input)
Excellent sound quality. Anything played by the phone plays through the car speakers.
I find it excellent. Now difficult to get new - but one on Ebay at present

Good luck
Awesome thanks everyone I'll have a look at these later.
I use a jabra cruiser 2, paired with my HOX and listen to music through my car stereo. I can't remember the lat time I put a CD in my car stereo

Hi All,
I am having issues with streaming A2DP audio to wireless headsets.
It works fine to a range of about 15cm, then it stutters and stops. I have used a generic $20 headset as well as a Plantronics Backbeat 904+ and they are the same. I tested the Plantronics headset on a SGSIII and it worked to about 10m range.
My ONe X however works fine when streaming to the head unit in my car. Its an OEM VW 9w7 bluetooth unit under the drivers seat. I can take the phone about 5m away outside the car and it still works.
Is there any BT settings I can tweak with respect to buffers, bitrates etc or is my phone faulty? I have tried stock JB ROM as well as current ViperX with a variety of different kernels.
Thanks in advance.
Anyone have any suggestions?

Hi,
I have the same problem with my Jabra Sport Headphones although my distance isn't to bad the audio is shocking.
Did you resolve your issue?

BT audio is very bad on the hox, I'm running cm 10.1 which helps a bit as you cab edit the EQ however the audio is still very compressed.

I resolved the issue by giving the phone to my wife and getting an HTC one. That works fine. My one x is obviously faulty.

Anyone know of an adapter that can plug into the aux jack on a car that has Bluetooth on board so I can be fully wireless in the car? Been looking but if someone has one they can recommend it would be great.

Search eBay or amazon. I have one from miccus that I use in my range rover. No issues. If I'm streaming music via Bluetooth and a call comes in, it hands over the call to the factory Bluetooth radio. Once calls are over, it automatically switches back to music.

this is what ive been using. routes both music and phone calls through speakers. just had to get a cable to go from this to the aux in on my stereo. charges with the same type of cable as phone and a full charge lasts quite a while.
I have this one:

It's very small, and you can use it without the power cable to reduce clutter. The battery lasts ~6 hours. Sound quality is good, but it won't turn on automatically when you start the car.

Maybe this advice wont help you a lot, but IMO this partial solutions wont get you completely satisfied. I already tried it and finally I decided to replace my OEM stereo with one from Kenwood with built-in BT from Parrot and I could not make a better decision...

Ok I'm assuming you want it for your HTC One. Because, HTC One has Apt-x compatible bluetooth 4.0 and that is a god bless. Even iphone 5 doesn't have it. But, you need to have an apt-x compatible device at the other end too so that you'll fully utilize this cd quality sound option.
Simply put; what you'll search for is an apt-x receiver. Try Avantree Cara, Kinivo BTC450 or HTC Stereo Clip (A200). They all are aptx compatible and with the HTC One they sound beautiful. BTW HTC Stereo clip only streams music.
I've chosen Avantree because it had better reviews.
Trust me, I know what I'm talking about. A2DP is old news.
I'm using Sony mw600 for a long time for car and for biking. Recommended!

I like that one from the Amazon link that doubles as a hands free calling adapter as well. I had no idea these things existed. Im going to follow the thread a bit more and do some research into them. I am VERY interested in using this method. Coming over from an iPhone I miss the single cable to control and charge my phone through my stereo in the truck. I didnt think of that when I was getting my Android phone. I guess I assumed that the USB cable would work like it does on the iPhone once I plug it into the USB port on my stereo.

Just got this one from amazon. Works fine for me and only $20. Doesn't do hands free calling though, only audio streaming.

Well stay away from this one. It lasted all of one day for me and now it wont turn on or charge. Best Buy wont take it back as well.

I've been using this one in my car, very nice, audio quality is good thanks to being able to handle aptX. The dongle has an onboard microphone that you can use for calls, and also has two buttons at the top for previous/next track when playing music. Overall, pretty nice.
(Argh, I'm not allowed to post links yet, so search Amazon for "Kinivo BTC450")
I have two issues with this particular bluetooth adapter. The first is that it only remembers one device pairing, so you'd have to go through the whole pairing process if you wanted to use other devices with it. The second was that in my car, I experienced a ground loop buzzing. I can't really explain to you what the phenomenon is, and it doesn't happen in everyone's car, but I ended up getting one of these which successfully got rid of the buzzing. You plug this thing in between the bluetooth adapter and your AUX port.
(Stupid post limit! Search Amazon for "PAC Ground Loop Isolator for 3.5 MM Applications")
I've been using this for a few months and it works well. Powered by a car adapter, so depending on your setup it might be more wires than some like (the inside of my center console has a power adapter so that's where it's powered, but your situation may vary...). It looks like it's very similar to the Kinivo Phamwich posted.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004CLYJ2I
I would also recommend a Ground Loop Isolator - I have to use one on mine to prevent the buzzing as well. I use the same one Phamwich linked:

I actually have used both the Kinivo BTC450 and the Belkin one linked by evancg, here is my comparison of the two:
Belkin Bluetooth Car Hands-Free Kit
Worse audio quality than the Kinivo.
Magnetically attaches to a self-adhesive disc that you stick on your car, so you can stow away the dongle if you want.
Only one large, single button to answer calls or start/stop music.
Can remember more than one device pairing.
Kinivo BTC450
Better audio quality than the Belkin due to aptX.
The dongle has a self-adhesive back so it's stuck directly on your car.
Has a large face button for answering calls and starting/stopping music, and also two dedicated buttons on top for previous/next track.
Can only remember one device pairing, so it's inconvenient if you're using more than one device with the Kinivo.
Overall, I like the Kinivo over the Belkin because the audio quality is better on the Kinivo, and it also has previous/next track buttons, so I can change tracks without having to reach for my phone. I only wish the Kinivo could remember at least two or three device pairings, though, since I also have an iPod, iPad, and a few other phones in my household.
I have the Kinivo BTC450. I drive a lot for work, and it is great! No problems at all, some say you may need a ground loop isolator, but I didnt. Calls are clear on both ends, and audio quality IMO is on par with hardwired.

A2DP was a Bluetooth profile that became famous in the Bluetooth 2.0 era and stayed... Its what causes the back and for relay of stereo music and audio from the mic back and forth from headset to handset...
Generally almost all headsets which are all stereo bluetooth Bluetooth 2.0 and above will always have a2dp profiles... Just look in the product descriptions when your looking at a headset.
I'm still waiting on my N5 but I had last used a Sony MW600 on my Nexus4 and it was naturally a2dp and worked great...
Sent from my LG-P930 using Tapatalk
A2DP works fine on the N5. I have connected it to a Sony MW600, Samsung HS3000, JBL Flip, and Kenwood KIV-BT901 (BT module for a Kenwood deck). Pairing was no problem and it sounds fine (it is wide bandwidth as far as bluetooth goes, but it won't sound as good as using the headphone jack of course).
Hey I heard somewhere that the N5 has a color screen. Can anybody confirm it has a color screen and what colors that screen can display? thanks.

Have you not tried using the N5 with your car stereo yet? If so, don't rule it out so fast. I've been very impressed with the N5 audio quality paired via bluetooth with my car's stereo. I'm quite picky about sound quality as well.
No cause I absolutely hate the way you browse on the radio with android that's why I use the head phones jack. The audio works via Bluetooth but I want my to control with my phone and not the radio because of that.

anyone know how well Bluetooth audio works with Bluetooth 4.0 devices? a lot of sites ive been too claim better battery life, and superior audio quality to 2.0. I am planning getting this and hacking it into my car stereo. contacted the seller and he claims its Bluetooth 4.0, so would audio be better than 2.0, and also would battery life for my nexus 5 be better than streaming to a Bluetooth 2.0 device?
forgot to add the link.....heh

No apt-x... So if streaming is really a big deal to you, this may not be the best phone.

If you ever actually care about sound quality, do not use bluetooth. AptX or not, 2.0 or 4.0, doesn't matter, bluetooth on a good day sounds like a 96kbps MP3. This isn't just in regards to the Nexus 5, this is every bluetooth device ever. I've used Macbooks, iPads, several Android phones, several car stereos, headsets, and more. Never have I been terribly impressed.
Basically, if you want quality that is about as good as an FM transmitter, you're fine. It's great for calls and other voice functionality. But anyone with a discerning ear, stick with cables. Myself, I cringe every time I hear a song with any cymbals or high range instruments.

Bluetooth 4.0 will not give you better audio quality or improved battery life on devices which stream audio.
Is it possible to use a pair of Bluetooth headphones and a pair of wired headphones at the same time? That way 2 people could listen to music or watch a movie simultaneously.
