AirPods alternative - Samsung Galaxy S10+ Accessories

Hello,
long time iPhone user here, last year i have been using the Airpods with my XS MAX that i sold.
I am looking for some "airpods equivelant" for my Samsung device (i got S10 and Note 10+)...i have unsuccesfully tried the Samsung Galaxy Buds, i am very dissapointed because the call quality which is the most important thing to me is not good at all, cant even compare it to the airpods...
So, what bluetooth would you recommend for everyday use, with good call quality so i can talk ?? I wouldn't like something like the old style bluetooth like Plantronics etc, i am looking for something fresh like Airpods, Galaxy Buds etc style

I recommend the Sabbat E12. The sound quality and call quality are very good for the price.

I second this if call quality is your #1 reason. Excellent sound quality and the fact they stay in your ears even during the harshest of exercises is an excellent bonus.
I've had mine for almost a year and I can't complain about them, although the Elite 75t just got announced (will be out next month for $199; the 75t's are 20% smaller with 2 more hours (7.5 hours vs 5.5 hours) of battery life are the biggest differences).

Why not just keeping using your AirPods? I go back and forth between my S10+ and iPhone X regularly without any issues. From what I've seen, the AirPods pretty much outperform any alternatives in the same class.

Agreed. Sabbat E12 are fantastic even if they were twice the price.

Had Enough of my S9's whats a good alternative?

Im finally done with my motorola S9HD and looking for a replacement.
I was so happy when the s9 HD version was released as i thought they fixed a major bug of swaet breaking the buttons on s9 units, i was on my 4th pair of s9's when i upgraded to the S9HD.
Now 2 sets of HD's later and i have had enough of sending faulty units back.
Can anyone recommend a bluetooth headsert suitable for running with?
must be bluetooth, A2DP, AVRCP and have decent sound... ooh and last more than 8 weeks.
thanks
A friend of mine sent me an email with these headphones.
They look like they could be a good replacement, does anybody have any experiance?
Jabra BT620s may be a good choice, but now Amazon.com doesn't have a good price, a good price for this set should be around $70. Try other electronic discount retailers.
Personal idea: This set, or any kind of Bluetooth set, is not recommended for serious Classical music fans. But I dare say no one are that kind serious on for a cell phone's media player.

they seem to be alot better than the jb200 in the reviews i have been reading.
There is a pretty good video reviw on youtube comparing the S9HD, JB200 and the altec lansing.
seems the altec get great reviews everywhere and a bit cheaper than the competition too. Alot of reviews do rate the sound of the S9 as being better but alot of people do not get on with its semi-rigid design not to mention the absolutly $*1^ reliability.
Thanks for the recommendation, i have ordered a pair of altecs
£48 including delivery which is nearly half of what i paid for the S9HD a year ago
thanks for the recommendation jonrobertd, i ahve had the lansings for a few days now and really enjoying them.
They are more comfortable than my S9's and a damn sight cheaper too
The S9 do sound better (fuller sound and more bass) but i think the lansing may last longer at the gym

Noise Cancelling Bluetooth Headset?

Hey everyone, I was hoping to get some input from the community on this one as I have been searching all over trying to figure out what the best bluetooth headset with a small form factor is for noise cancellation and overall quality.
I don't want it to be gaudy, I like the subtle headsets that don't extend half way down your face. I work in a very loud environment (auto shop) so I need something that will drown out the ambient noise pretty well.
I don't want to go out and spend hundreds of dollars on different headsets trying to find one that works well. Hopefully some people here can enlighten me on what works and what doesn't based on experience.
TIA!
Why don't you try the new motorola S10-HD ($80 at best buy) , this is the upgrade of the S9-HD. it has only 1 noise cancelling microphone. Compared to the Nokia BH-905 which has 7 noise cancelling microphones, but it cost $249 at amazon.
I have the S9-HD , sonic quality is very good. I haven't tried yet the S10-HD even though it has only 1 noise cancelling mic, I think the sound will be a little bit better than the S9.
I personally use the Motorola H17. Not a fan of Motorola phones but they make excellent Bluetooth headsets. They sell for 100 bucks at your local Tmo store BUT you can always save some money with our good friend the internet.
Newegg sells them for 53 bucks brand new
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...268&cm_re=motorola_h17-_-75-982-268-_-Product
Or you can get it for only 25 bucks if you don't care about the fancy packaging
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...280&cm_re=motorola_h17-_-75-982-280-_-Product
I've used this while driving and windows slightly down and my gf was still able to hear me fine. Also, I never turn this over 60% volume because it is super loud as well. Would definitely recommend it.
try the Sound ID 400, i had it for a while, it's pretty good and you can get it for around $50
i have a blueant q1, noise canceling is good enough that my i could talk to my wife with the top off and doing 60.... couldnt find any others that would do that.

Some of the comment said it is easily break ( about the plastic thing over the ear?), and I can't figure out how the flip works
Is it really fragile?

I agree. Value wise, the Sound ID's are a great bang for your buck. I've had Motorola, Jabra, and BlueAnt that cost double, but were not much better quality.
For overall sound, the BlueAnt was best, but durability was bad. I left it in my car and the rubber over the earpiece pretty much disintegrated within 6 months.
Jawbone ICON! You will never use another.
Hi there, I just purchased the Blueant Q2 from ebay for $40.00 and it is the best bluetooth I have ever had. I am constantly driving for my job and while on the road, even with the window down doing 75 I can hear every word the other person is saying perfectly and they can hear me clearly with no other noises ever. SIMPLY THE BEST EVER!!!!
I would say the best option for your money is the official PS3 headset. It works with cellphones, and has a noise-canceling microphone. It also comes with a dock which if connected to your PC or PS3, will turn your headset into a desktop mic. Ive seen it as low as $25, but you may be able to find it for cheaper, especially since a new model was recently released.
I use the motorola rokr its a dual speaker headset with great sound and very weather resistant I'm outside everyday all day with it at work, charges in about 15 min and last about 8 hours

I just bought the sound ID 510 about a week ago....found it for on $40 (refurbed) on amazon...I have bought about 5 different Bluetooth headsets in the past 2yrs....And this one is IMO the best device out....especially at that price....Oh and the app in the android market has some pretty nice features..

I read a lot of positive comments in xda or amazon review,
after getting one new from ebay,
I am totally disappointed.
The sound is so choppy and is even worse than the Samsung WEP490 which is only $10 bucks when I got my vibrant.
I followed the procedure and the sensor is physically touching my face,
I even tried putting it on both ears!
I dont know if it is only my device is defective but the first impression is so bad..

Which Stereo BlueTooth headset has the best sound and best funtionality

Hi guys,
so my $80 skull candy ear buds have been lost or stolen, and i was thinking of getting a nice Stereo BT headset for when im working and shredding the slopes. I was looking at the LG HBS-700, but i know there is a lot more out there. Which one has the best sound (good highs, mids and really nice lows) and is the most functional. Would be nice to also be able to make and receive calls and prefer ear buds, but i am open to whatever really
I appreciate the time guys. cheers!

I bought a set of jaybird freedom's and am happy with them

I have used the Sony hbh-ds970 & the Sony hbh-ds980 for about 4 years with great Success. I like the style the Sound for music and voice, The oled display with caller Id. Best of all is the durability. I have worn them everyday. They where expensive but worth it if you use them a lot.

The motorola s9 is awesome, they dropped a newer s10 but its horrible, sound is very low, and audio playback sucks. You can find the s9 at amazon

how is the bass on all of the suggested headsets?
I have the LG HBS-700 and they are great. They do not give much bass but I mostly use them for audio books and some Pandora and calls when driving. The thing I like most is the way they fit, unlike most others BT Head sets they are comfortable and for $50 they are a deal. If your looking for major bass then these are not for you. In addition they give great call quality.
For double the price my father in law has a jaybird headset and swears by them. The only thing is because of the design they are easy to loose becuase you forget you have them on when not in your ears. He learned that the hard way, they fell in the fire when we went camping and didn't know till the next morning when we saw charred pieces in the fire pit. At that point he only had them for a week.
Bass send good to me on the jaybird but I should tell you that I I'm 46 and have some hearing loss from the time I spent in the military...
If you have a best buy near you which has a set in stock you could buy them, try them and return them if you don't like them.
...I have a set of less expensive skull candy wired headphones and I think they produce a bit more bass...
Using tapatalk on my Galaxy 2 to post this!
I personally do not like Bluetooth headsets for music Idk just really don't like them. But if you are looking for some really great headphones that are wired try Radio Shack and look for PointMobile headphones personally, there better then the Skullcandy Fmj and 50/50 combined and for only 30 its a steal.

I use bluetooth headphones exclusively as I don't like wires...
Have been using the Motorola S305 for the gym for a good 3+ years now. Fit really well, light, excellent battery life and solid BT range. Only concern is they're not as compact as the below headsets, so I only use them at the gym.
Jaybird Freedom's I use on my public transit commute to work. Don't stay on particularly well, even with their new rubber seals, but since I'm just sitting there with minimal motion they're fine. Poor battery life, maybe 3-4 hours per full charge and the range is short (<5 feet). I like the useful playback controls and volume buttons, however.
Outdoor Technology Tags are, in most areas, an improvement on the Jaybirds, but the cord is so darned long and the bright red is too flashy for my tastes. They fit remarkably well, seeing how similar they are designed compared to the Jaybirds. Battery life is also a bit longer than the Jaybirds.
I use the motorola S9-HD, I tried the nwer S10-HD - I wasn't impress with the bass,

dissapointed speakers??

I'm very disappointed with the speakers. There not bad...there great for watching films etc...there loud and crisp. But for music there not very good, they have practically zero bass and lacks depth. I know some might say listen with headphones but coming from the iPad pro, the iPad had a lot more depth and bass .
In settings you can change this with equaliser and Dolby atmos (like in Samsung music), I just discover that reading you and having same feeling as you !

Yeah I know but unfortunately this only makes a tiny bit of a difference and it still lacks bass and depth
For me Very big differences
Listening and testing
Also
Only made slight difference for me. The iPad pro 10.5 speakers are miles better for music

Agreed, biggest disappointment of this tablet is the sound. If they made it wide screened for better media consumption, I was hoping that Samsung together with AKG will finally deliver. Unfortunately all Samsung devices sound like crap, including the Note line from Note 1. I have always rooted them to get at least better volume , but the quality of sound is still crap compared to Apple. I am not Apple fan at all. I am hoping for last 8 years that they will improve the sound quality on their devices.
Personally I think the sound quality on the SGTS4 is great when compared to the previous iterations of the SGTS series. They are good for media consumption and gaming. However I am not a hardcore audiophile.

Agreed. I had the same problem with the Tab S3. Atmos does help, but when sitting next to my buddy's 1st gen iPad Pro, the difference is embarrassing. I'm considering getting a pro. For the improved sound, and the hardware performance in general. I just hate having to pay for the pencil. The Tab S4 is a better deal.

Nothings really better on the iPad other than the speakers. I came from the pro 10.5
compared to the Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 edition), my last tab, the sound is 12X better from the speakers, and entirely serviceable.
just not substantial...

Question OnePlus Buds Pro - worth the price?

Hi guys,
I am going to buy wireless earphones. I am OnePlus 9 pro user with A12. In that case is it worth buying OnePlus Buds Pro? It supports high quality audio codec on A12, so in router login theory it should perform great. Do you guys have some experience i 192.168.0.1 n that matter? Can you compare buds pro to other manufacturers in similar (or lower) price?
I am asking here, cause I am interested in best performance for my 9 pro.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi Carlos,
I bought the buds pro a few months ago and I don't know if I was just out of luck or if the product is not worth it. On the first pair, the right earphone with active noise cancellation would emit a high-pitched background sound if there was no sound. So I proceeded with the return, the second pair same problem but on the left headset. I was very disappointed, apart from this regret the headphones sound great, are very comfortable and the cancellation does its job. Instant and well integrated pairing. But for 150 euros a really bad experience. I also returned the second pair.
I they need more reviews...I would compare to others.

This is pure Greed ! Like Creap from apple! Garbage from samsung! **** from sony!

Are you using bucks gear from aliexpress? GLHF then
No. I use bone conduction heaphones.
I listen more than 8 hours a day, at work. And my ears dont hurt from music or from headphones.
For about two months, I've been utilising the buds z. They are perfect for my needs. I use them primarily to listen to music and view videos. For me, the ability to switch seamlessly between iOS and Android is a huge plus.
And if i want to good sound for my music i use Oneodio dj pro (chinese headphones over the ear with Awesome sound and Great looking).
I have all 3 - the Z, Z2 and the Pro buds. [I've also owned Airpods Pro and Airpods Gen 3.] The deciding factor is the shape of your ear IMO... if you have a hard time fitting the silicon rubber tips in your ears without them falling out, go with the Z2s. They hang in your ear as opposed to wedge in like the Pros. If you don't have a large ear canal problem, go with the Pros.
TLDR: they are all great sounding. The noise cancelation is better on the Pros than on the Z2. The sound quality is essentially the same.
Forget about the original Zs, think they've been replaced by the Z2.
I got mine for free when I bought the 10 plus. Will let you know once they arrive.
