I recently got a pair of the MJYUN wireless earbuds, and I've been pretty impressed. I've been using them for the past few days, and so far, I'm quite impressed. The sound is pretty good for such a small headphone, with surprising bass and good treble and a decent sound stage. Where these really have shined, though, is the fit and comfort. These are very light and fit very well. So far, I've worn them at the office and for a few runs, and they have stayed in place with no issues and are very comfortable over longer duration. At my desk, I typically listen to music whenever I'm not in meetings, which this week has been mostly 1 to 2 hour stretches. During my runs, I haven't had any problem with them shifting or needing adjustment. Additionally, the ability to power just the right earbud is awesome for running or biking on the street. I also haven't had any issues with the the earbuds pairing with each other, whether they are powered on at the same time or the left one is powered on after the right one is already playing music. I have noticed a slight delay when watching movies (less than a second), which is a minor annoyance, but not a deal breaker for me.
The battery life so far has been great. I charged these fully when I got them on Saturday using a previously purchased usb c to c cable and charger, and they fully charged in 30 or 40 minutes. So far, I haven't had to recharge the case again. I love that this uses USB C, and the provided cable is nice to have. I've been able to consistently get 2 hours at a stretch before the battery dies. I replace the earbuds in the case when I am not using them, and that's been enough to maintain a charge. The case LED provides some indication of remaining charge (it shows green when it's open if the charge is >50%, and yellow when < 50%), and it's still showing green after about 6 hours of listening time, so I'm happy.
Phone calls work well. Both earbuds have a button, which is used to turn on the buds, pause or play music, and answer or end calls. Once the call is answered, only the right earbud provides audio. The people I talked to had no trouble hearing me, and the music restarted without any problem once I hung up.
Initial paring with my phone (a LG V20) was seamless, and I haven't had any issues with connecting since the initial pairing. Additionally, the range has been great. In my office, I was curious how good the range would be, and managed to get about 75 feet away from my phone before they started to break up (which beat my Garmin Vivoactive 3 by about 20 feet).
Overall, I have been very impressed with these, and would highly recommend these, especially for running or working out.
Here's some pictures of the headphones.

I just purchased a Defy, on Vodafone, my first android phone. After noticing a few of my friends' phones, I soon realised I was well up for it, and after stumbling upon a website that compares specs, price, allsorts of things, decided the Defy was a nice entry point to the ever expanding world of android.
As soon as I got it, I plugged it straight in and hustled about for how to get Froyo on it, I'd seen it running and played about with it a couple of times and for some reason Eclair seems a bit of a lemon to me. Lucky enough, not long ago the official 2.2 was released for UK Defy.
And that is what I am still running now, after installing cyanogenmod 5 on my mate's G1 (thrown right in at the deep end there, especially when 6 runs so huffy) and doing a few other daft jobs like frankensteining two old Sony Ericsson C902's to sell as one, I've found myself with not a lot of time spare with the internet and a data cable. However, I have had a bit of a fiddle, including root, ADW launcher, overclocking to 1ghz @ 50mv and a nice selection of lovely apps and gadgets.
After a few days though I noticed that when you muck around with your phone all the time your battery takes a hammering. I took a bit of a gamble here and purchased a 2430mAh battery off ebay for like 13 quid or something. Yeah, cheap chinese goods. While I was at it I picked up a 16gb sd card, class 10 apparently for another £12 (I don't know whether to believe the class 10, I could never remember what app I used to rumble the '32gb' micro sd I got for cheap last year - turned out to be a 2gb. That's ebay...), both came two days later and i fitted them.
Now, at first, I thought the battery was a full on con, it lasted no longer than my stock one before it was telling me i had 1% charge, and I duly slomp over to the charger (I'm using circle battery widget, is this known for its accuracy?). But then I started noticing that my battery was running down to 1% round about half three, four o' clock, and it was staying at 1% until i got home at 5. Then I forgot to charge it overnight and it was knocking on 1% at mid day, so I put it into ultra power saving mode (not an actual mode, obvious face) and, weird, it was still chugging along by 5.
Something very fishy indeed, I thought, though not for the worst...
2 o' clock today, it was saying 1%. I didn't care, Friday afternoons mean sit about in the yard and check out sickipedia and ebay for an hour or two so I kept on using it - full brightness for the sun (hot today wasn't it?), wifi on and browsing internet while skipping back and forth to youtube, sent and received the odd text too...
By 4 o' clock I had mentioned it to the fellas at work and it was starting to become a bit of a novelty. I did think as well, that I'd maybe not yet fully decharged the battery (what with rushing to the charger at the slightest hint of 1%, 'cos let's face it, that ****'s scary to look at when you got 5 browser windows open and you can't work out how to check your history after a reboot), and maybe it would be a good idea to discharge that, to reset the battery meter to my new battery.
So I left the brightness all the way up and intermittently until ten o' clock, surfed the web, played some games, fiddled with ethereal dialpad and generally gave it a bit of nuisance. By ten o' clock, I was really getting sick - this was about eight hours since it had first told me it only had indeed 1% of battery life left - so I started going nuts. I opened the market and just kept scrolling down the top free list, loading the content off my wifi (and downloading a few, but man I just hate ads..), plugged my hifi into it and played the only album I have at top 'media volume' (in connected music player, although I want something sleeker. Blacker. Quicker), got another 3 or 4 tabs up in browser, turned off all the low battery measures in setvsel, and rocked out a few minutes of the latest QI on iplayer. And this carried on for hours, At around twelve I decided to get the flashlight on too but after a while you realise you're having no fun (I haven't found a standalone flash light for the defy so I have been using video recorder mode and that's a chew on).
And finally, at 20 past 1, it died. But it was what happened during the power down that had me amazed...
You know those circuit bent gameboys and chiptune machines that create all sorts of 8 and 16 bit glitches and woops, this little beast started doing that - about half as loud as the music it pushed out of the way, and lasting for the whole blurry, dim shut down screen.
I don't know if this happens often, or if it was because I was halfway through downloading Cars and Guns (still didn't run that fresh on this) and a few other tasks, but it sounded awesome, I half thought it would bust out into a filthy beat.
I'm gonna charge this crazy fiend up and when it eventually does run out again, I'm gonna try and catch that effect and record it.
Has anyone else noticed this before or was it just a one-time glitch? I'd love to hear it mixed into some dirty beats (the breakdown in the android orchestra)
And hell, what a device, all my 'with it' buds show me their iPhones and how they can 'change their themes' and 'shoot in hdr' and 'turn it on its side, see?'
I laugh in their direction and stroke my Defy.
rooted running FreeGS3. Heres my question/issue. I am a very heavy user. From 830a to 5p my phone is in my pocket and I am using it to either talk or listen to music. Here's the odd part that Ive always had even before rooting. I use the stock earphones and they sound fantastic up to around 1p. Its odd but pretty consistent. Right around this time, no matter if Im talking or jamming out, the balance will just favor one side or the other. Actually one side might just be losing volume. Not real sure. Soon after that, total volume just drops off to a tenth of what i had at 830a. If i switch headphones, which a do carry(its my fix), everything returns to normal as soon as I plug in. Ive tried plugging stock headphones back in, after hearing the other set work, only to have same problem. Original phones will work fine next morning. Ive also tried switching headsets, 2nd set first, and guess what?? Right around 1p it still happens. I unplug, plug in stock headset, and everything works. Is there a static problem with the jack that just takes time to build up or something??? Anyone else have this issue??? Find it very strange.
I'm going to go out on a limb and say this is a common problem for the SGS3. Previous to my HM1900 Samsung Bluetooth I had the HM1800. The 1800 worked flawlessly, around 25 feet or so through a wall, turning my head, etc., how a Bluetooth should work. The HM1900, however, is awful in comparison. During work, I keep my phone in my right breast pocket with the headset in my right ear. I stream music while working (in near-perfect 4G) though if I put my arm over my chest, or turn my head, I lose signal. Could it be the headset itself, or is it a possibility that it's a combination of both?
On the phone I have the Otterbox Commuter case, so it isn't that thick. The phone is not rooted and running 4.3. I have attempted at doing a software update, but nothing downloads. Is there somewhere to download a software update for the Bluetooth itself on the phone? Or is this just a lost cause?
I would rather keep the HM1900 just because of how well built it is, I easily ruined my HM1800 within two weeks for it not being as robust.
And another side note! Volume is damned quite on the headset even with everything at full volume. Any volume control fix or app?

I have problems when streaming music to a bluetooth speaker. When using iphone on max volume sound is much louder than when I try using my galaxy s3. Do you know a way how to fix that?

I as well have had this problem. Mine comes and goes. Phone volume, Pandora volume, and headset volume are at maximum and it's still not very loud through the headset.

Repairing doesn't do anything unfortunately.
Is it possible there's just a weak bluetooth antennae in the phone, or it has somehow become damaged/unhooked?
Going back to my first post, the older headset worked wonderfully, but this new one isn't doing so hot. Turn my head; lose signal, place a hand over phone; lose signal. It will however work from five feet away crystal clear with no obstructions, but I must be within sight and have my headset facing the phone. Seems a little ridiculous for a bluetooth if I can't have the phone in my pocket.
If when checking the Bluetooth association you find general poor performance, then there are a few things you can attempt. Initially, make certain your gadget's batteries are appropriately charged or are overall new. Contingent upon the gadget, you can discover this data in either the Bluetooth menu or the Bluetooth framework inclination by selecting "Show more information" from the apparatus menu. On the off chance that your gadget has removable batteries, than regardless of the fact that the framework reports them as being healthy, give the battery compartment a decent investigation to check whether any consumption has happened from a spilling battery.

Unfortunately the batteries are not removable in my device. They are fully charged as well. I think a lot of this comes down to the signal on the BlueTooth itself brand to brand and model to model. Still though, there might be a fix.
I have come to the conclusion that the Bluetooth headset is the problem going from one device to another; from one Galaxy S3 to an HTC One to my current Galaxy Note 4. The problem is the HM1900. Purchase the HM1700, it's not as robust, but it sure fits better and gives better sound.
This is a quick review of the Elecom LBT-PHP500AV Bluetooth receiver (RF Amplifier, 200mW output). [hands-on pics below in attach and in the box folder]
First of all, wireless streaming is a must for me since I'm using the Sony Xperia Z which has the headphone jack covered with a cap (if the caps become damaged by repeated usage - waterproof phone no more) so I had 3 bluetooth receivers so far, and all of them were a huge dissapointment. I had to use an portable amplifier with the bluetooth receiver which only made things cluttered and complicated, rendering hands-free usage almost impossible.In my experience with wireless music the top issues are:
Battery limitation (5-6 hours) which isn't enough, not even for half the day;
Low output volume (even if I'm using headphones with high dB sensitivity);
Poor transmission range (which sometimes was a problem eg. gym);
Decent to low sound quality (high quality sound over Bluetooth usually requires spending some serious bucks).
So, after a long search I found, what seems to be the perfect fit between performance and price tag and that is the ELECOM LBT-PHP500AV. I already made a (crappy) review on YouTube and a follow-up, which can be found here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S7IaXYDUbOI
The Elecom Bluetooth receiver can be order as stand-alone receiver (about 40$) or with headphones at 50-60$ (which are pretty good - they're about 30$) on eBay(http://www.ebay.com/itm/Elecom-Blue...9&pid=100005&rk=2&rkt=6&sd=261859052253&rt=nc).
Product Specs can be found here: http://www.elecom.co.jp.e.gj.hp.transer.com/news/201404/lbt-par500av/index.html and Headphones specs here: http://www2.elecom.co.jp.e.gj.hp.transer.com/avd/headphone/ehp-c3560/
When I first saw it, I felt a cosmic attraction not because of how it looks, but because of what it does, which is: almost 4 times the battery life you're getting in a bluetooth headset, high quality audio codecs, transmission range and of course the retro look. Everything seems too good to be true, but now, it became my daily driver and for 50 dollars, it is too good.
Without taking this love story any further, I'm going to switch to pros and cons of the elecom bt receiver.
PROS:
Huge battery (they advertise 18 hours of playback) - I've been using it for 3 days without the need to charge it - something that never happened to me. Battery size is 365mAh in contrast to the usual 80-100mAh. This thing lasts more than the phone.
[UPDATE] After using it for 3 days I wanted to fully discharge it... easier said than done - It played for 8 hours continuously on max volume and it didn't even get into low battery mode, and since it was 3am I had to go sleep and just charge it. Long story short, battery should last for about 4 days of everyday usage.
It's fairly loud - I'm no longer using the external amplifier. Cranking the volume on this thing to the max is a bit too loud. Using it with the laptop grants me almost twice the volume i get on my android.
Very nice build, and finishing touches - volume rocker is made of metal which feels really nice. The body is plastic but it feels high quality and resistant to shocks.
Excellent clip functionality - it is plastic but looks and feels pretty solid. The clip has small hooks and on the body side there is rubber that will ensure a firm grip on the fabric (as seen in the video).
Impressive sound quality - no stuttering. Also NFC connect for convenience;
It also works while charging without interruption of any kind while it's plugged or unplugged from power;
Bundle Headphones are pretty pretty good (very unexpected) - Very deep bass with crisp notes ( FQ response of 5Hz - 24 kHz with 99dB sensitivity).
Transmit range - better than my previous receivers it goes 10 extra meters (total of ~20m) before it starts dropping frames.***
CONS:
Headphones wire is way too short.... It doesn't even reach the belt level - this is due to the idea of wearing the receiver around the neck - but it's a bit too big to be clipped near the neck. I guess the cable length won't be an issue (i'm used to really long headphone cables).
No HD-Call support - for me it's not really an issue since i can safely use it as a hands-free (the microphone might pick up too much background noise while in a loud or crowded area).
No battery meter (at least not on android) - which is kinda important - you might not have to charge it 2-3 days but you'll want to know exactly how much battery you have left before leaving the house.
*** The theoretical transmit range of 100m depends on a lot of factors. It does perform better than normal bluetooth headsets but in everyday usage (in enclosed spaces) you probably won't get more than 20 meters of range. Again, it depends on the device you're transmitting from (i use my android phone) and power it reserves for bluetooth operations and the obstructions between transmitter and receiver. It's not really a down point. It's more of a notice.
I've got it from ebay at "trickstar_inc_nippon". I had a great experience with the seller - item was shipped the next day and it got from Japan to Europe in only 3 days. For someone like me who is choosy when it comes to music players, this is a great and powerful headset, on an affordable price. This is an impressive device for it's price and I can safely say it's going to be my daily driver without having to carry the external amplifier or the battery with me.
I hope the review was helpful (if it was hit Thanks!). Here is a box.com folder with more hands-on pics https://app.box.com/s/oo8ani1ipp97lvnwxr0va17lykx47vre For any questions you can PM me.
Cheers!
@Sebi673 great review on the device. I got one a couple of months ago. Its the same model but did not come with the headphones.
I got this for the battery life.
The big cons for me are
1- I can use my own headphones
2-Battery lasts super super long... I charge it once every couple of weeks.
3- Love the turn off and on button.
The only downsides
- size is little too big than other similar ones.
- Volume control button is little tricky.
How does it last? i read many has problem with dead battery/unit? is it that bad?
Has anyone ever try to replace the battery?

I am still using it daily. And it's over an year old. Battery still holds as it did in the first day. I charge it once every 3-4 days.

Anyone know of good alternatives? I've only been able to find these for ~$120 on ebay and other sites now for the same model. Elecom has some cheaper ones which seem significantly less powered (40 mW vs 200 mw)
Apparently it's on amazon which reflects the price history:

I've had my Note 7 since it was released on AT&T and actually love it. I was a bit reluctant to go back to Samsung after my Sony Z3Compact, but the Note 7 really wowed me.
As a commuter, I use the bluetooth audio 3 hours every day in the car and often either plug in headphones or use a set of bluetooth buds while I'm doing chores around the house. Until Saturday, audio output was phenomenal. Saturday I got a notification that there was a software update available, so I thought nothing of installing it. Since that time, my audio (BT, built-in speaker, or plugged in headphones) gets static-y when I have the screen off. Turn on the screen and everything sounds fantastic again. Short of reformatting the phone (or rooting and rom-ing, which I'm not even sure is an option yet), I've tried everything I can think to try to get this issue cleared up.
I'm willing to experiment, so throw your suggestions at me. I've searched around and haven't come up with any other users experiencing this issue. Any help is appreciated.
I've had this issue occasionally with my Tmobile Note 7. It hasn't received any updates yet. I noticed plugging in the charger also stops the problem.

More info: on the ride home today, I switched to Google Play Music and put on some music that would give me some pretty clean audio... No crunchiness,no static. Seems it may be related to Pocket casts.
I'll see if some setting or other got tripped.
Any suggestions on THAT are also welcome.
Aha! I may have it sorted now.
I had also bumped the playback speed of my podcasts to 3x (from 2.6), so I figured I would check to see if that's the cause and taking it back down to 2.7x seems to have fixed it!
Whomever is in charge of the things can close the thread.
