A couple of days ago I didn't know what Apt-X was, but now I know, and... finally understand why bluetooth streaming was so horrible with my HTC Desire!
So since the S3 has this codec, and since I am going to get the S3, I would like to know which is the best bluetooth stereo headset out there that supports this?
HS3000 looks good, and might be the thing for me but it's more than a year old AFAIK. Any other suggestions? Can be any brand.
EDIT: Sound quality is priority.

What's the issue with the HS3000 being a year old? I have one and use it with my One X (also Apt-X capable), great piece of kit and cheap too. Besides that Apt-X headsets are fairly scarce at present, I know Sennheiser have several, but the prices are rather prohibitive...
If you want a real capable headphone, Sennheiser MM-550x/450x seems like a true winner in that regard
I'm looking for a new Bluetooth headset for music too... i'm currently using a Sony Ericsson MW600 which is pretty good but I'm keen to get something with apt-x support.
The HS3000 looks ok but ideally i'd like a display so i can see the number of people who call and also track information... does anyone know of a bluetooth headset with apt-x support which also has a display?
Well i'm gonna throw my MW-600 on it. It has superb sound and served me well in both my HTC Wildfire and Huawei U8800... Although if the in-ear buds that samsung provides, sound good i wont bother replacing them
Are any of the headsets mentioned "lossless" when walking fast?

Don't really think they're worth it. For that price you could have the HS3000 and buy a set of $200 IEMs and a set of $200 cans which you can use with anything with a 3.5mm output, or even use the HS3000 as an input for anything with a 3.5mm input. For most people that'll be a much higher value proposition.

I wear mine hanging from my neck when out cycling and it's fine.
Another vote for HS3000, it supports Apt-X. Using it with my HOX with some £170 iems and sounds fine for wireless playback. Small and compact.

got the HS3000 two days ago, and i must say its atleas as good as the mw600 it sounds good feels good well its all good BUT thers a damn BUT in there, its the answer button everytime you press it but mistake or otherwise it want's to redial the last number dialed. i havnt found a workaround other than installing a "call confirm" app. so now i only need a tasker profile to activate this between the hours i need it to.
Been using the Nokia Essence, it also has NFC (unfortunatly it doesnt work as planned with Android Devices). However, it does its job pretty well and did i mention it has NFC?

Sony is supposed to be releasing the Smart Wireless Headset Pro which appears to have all features of the MW600 with the addition of a micro-SD card slot (2GB card included) and Bluetooth 3.0. It looks like a nice upgrade from the MW600, but it appears that it does not support apt-X as this feature is not listed under the specs tab. It's also a bit expensive, but the street price might be somewhere south of the MSRP of $149.

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.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
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.

Yep, I have the LG Tone+ bluetooth earbuds and they work very well.
I assume you're enquiring about the play/pause/forward/back buttons on the headphones and whether they work with the Play Music program? If so, then yes, they work flawlessly for me at least.

i really like them for working out or running. they stay in place. the only con i have about them is that if you wear them with the cord behind your neck sometimes they can get caught when turning your head certain ways. to avoid that now i just wear them with the cord to the front. doesnt look as cool lol but cant feel anything but the buds in your ears. the sound quality is decent. one big thing i loved about these tho is that when you're wearing them it doesnt feel like you're covering your ears with your hands and can hear everything like footsteps or anything rubbing up against you. i originaly bought some jaybirds and they did exactly that, it was just too annoying for the price i had paid. i could hear my footsteps in my head and the cord rubbing up against my neck, you had to put the music too loud to try and cover the noises but you could always hear it
Great, thanks for all the replies guys.

I bought a really nice set of in-ear headphones to work with my N5.
However they don't appear to work with the N5x.
Have they decided to change the spec to an "Apple" standard rather than the normal "Android" standard?
If so, this may well be the most annoying/expensive decision ever!

Unfortunately this might be the case! I just received my 5X. It works great with standard headphones (HiFiMan RE-0, no mic), but I get no sound when plugging in the headset that I had used with my Nexus 5 (Xiaomi Piston). Neither the mic nor the headphones work. Instead, audio is diverted to the phone's speakers.
I'll run some more tests when I have time.

This is the response I got from Project Fi Customer Service on this issue:
Thank you for contacting Project Fi Support. I am so sorry this process is taking longer than expected, but you are in the right place to get your answers. Unfortunately, because the Nexus 5X is such a new device there have not been many choices when it comes to accessories including headsets. There has been no update either on where and when you can go to find compatible accessories. What I can do is suggest that you try Bluetooth. Bluetooth is compatible with all Nexus devices that are running on Android 5.0 and higher. Below you will see a link that will walk you through the steps to connect to Bluetooth.
Not looking good! I tried the workaround posted in the androidcentral thread. If you hold down the play/pause button on the inline controls while you plugin the headset, then at least you'll get sound. Mic and controls still won't work, but you have at least some functionality. Annoying, but it worked for my Xiaomi Pistons.
Anyone tried pushing it in very hard? Sounds dumb, but I've read about other people needing to push in hard to get it working right - This was to do with complaints about poor volume/quality, though.
Found this on reddit, too: https://www.reddit.com/r/Nexus/comments/3qf2kw/nexus_5x_headphone_jack_not_working/

I just tested my Xiaomi Piston v3s and they work as intended. Volume buttons work, play/pause works, and audio via the earbuds. I did a cursory search and it seems the v3s have CTIA wiring. Most previous Android devices were OMTP (except the Nexus4/5, and my previous G2; maybe it's an LG thing?), which the Piston v2s are.

Thanks for double-checking your V2s, that makes me feel better.
I tested my wife's iPhone headphones. The headphones and mic work, they don't have controls so there was nothing to test there.
I guess you're right, it's as simple as OMTP/CTIA. Some people in the other thread reported that their buttons weren't working when using iPhone-compatible headsets on the 5X, which made me think this was a more complicated issue.
Piston V3s are back-ordered on Amazon currently, but I'm looking forward to them!
Does anyone get this problem: http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-5x/help/how-to-off-listening-plugging-headphones-t3234344
This is just with a normal 2-band headphone jack
Rang google support and they say there arent any other reported cases of this so maybe I/we have defective units?
Thanks for checking, @cthip.
Since I don't have the phone yet, could someone help me figure out compatibility here, please? I hope I'm reading this right, but I'm not sure.
If a headset with inline controls works with the N4, it should work with the N5X. Yay or nay?

In theory, it should work just fine, as the Nexus 4 and 5 also used CTIA. I found an old post stating the different wiring schemes could be denoted by the color of the rings; gray for CTIA, and black for OMTP.

Good luck with that. If I were you in that situation. I would save some more for a better IEM. I don't like Bluetooth headphones in general. But you said you have a 20$ budget so I wouldn't think you dould get a bluetooth headset for that price range.And that Bluetooth headset you ware talking about. If you like to stream music from your device to the headset it self. It will not last long (imo the 80mAh battery)
And. Always search for reviews before ordering.

Similar to a previous response, I find it hard to believe you can get any decent Bluetooth headset for $20.
Also, I'm not persuaded to the Bluetooth headphone camp (and hate that Apple has started this trend of removing the minijack from phones, with other manufacturers following suit). At a minimum, I need a solution that will work in all situations. When the batteries die on your BT headset, then what? If you don't have another headset, you can't listen to anything, that's what! And I honestly can't be bothered to have to remember to charge another device all the time.
The Panasonic Ergofit RP-TCM125 are an excellent wired earbud choice for under $20. Read up more here: http://thewirecutter.com/reviews/best-headphones-under-40/
Yes, I know the Panasonics have been surpassed on this article by the AKG. But honestly, I was too lazy to have to type in all my info to order the AKGs (which also cost more) from the link, when I could just get the Panasonics through Amazon.

Similar to a previous response, I find it hard to believe you can get any decent Bluetooth headset for $20.
Also, I'm not persuaded to the Bluetooth headphone camp (and hate that Apple has started this trend of removing the minijack from phones, with other manufacturers following suit). At a minimum, I need a solution that will work in all situations. When the batteries die on your BT headset, then what? If you don't have another headset, you can't listen to anything, that's what!
