Bluetooth Headphone?

I am just wondering what Bluetooth headphone you guys use on inspire 4G?
I am choosing between Plantronics Voyager PRO and Motorola Oasis, but dont know what I really want.

Plantronics....they just work!
I am using a Plantronics 245 which is a very inexpensive headset. I think I payed about $34 with taxes. I do not have any issues with it. Headsets are like cars - you can go from very cheap to very expensive and everywhere in between. - Glenn

Blue Ant T1. Not a big fan of vlingo, the free software for the headphone. It does the job withoutbraking the bank.

I use a Plantronics Voyager Pro. Works great. No issues.

I use the blueant Q2 with the motospeak app from the market ... Its by far the loudest bluetooth i have ever owned.... You can use motospeak with any bluetooth, but there is a trick. First go buy or borrow a motorola finiti (volume on it sucks btw) bluetooth, pair it with phone, download motospeak app from the market. Now for the important part DO NOT UNPAIR the finiti from your phone, as long as it is paired with the phone the motospeak app will work with any bluetooth. Now you can go trade in the motorola finiti for any bluetooth you like.

Not between the two you said but I would say get the Jawbone ICON
They have been the best I have used.

They are selling the Jawbone 2 for 10 bucks at dailysteals. Can't post link.
Don't work for them or anything, I heard good things about the headset and ordered one. Though you guys might like it. Add about $5 to ship though.

Jawbone Icon. Love it. I have owned two. Best earpiece out there.

I like my old Motorola S9's. They're behind the head wrap arounds w/ touch volume & track controls.

I use the voyager pro, I like it. I would recommend the icon though. It's less expensive and the quality is comparable. I paid 100, but have seen the icon for about half that.

How does noise/wind cancellation on recent bluetooth device? I remeber when I had really old moto bt headphone, HS850, my friend hardly heard me when I was running outside. After that, I did use any bt headphone.

The Icon comes with 5 or 6 different pieces to fit your ear. If it falls off easily then your just using the wrong piece. It also allows you to wear it with or without the over the ear hook.
I use an Icon for phone calls and a Plaintronics Backbeat for music and the occasional call. Both headsets are good in high wind situations. The Icon even works pretty good during a storm, though I don't recommend it (I've killed so many headsets that way).

I have the Plantronics Voyager Pro + and I got it brand new on eBay for 56 dollars. People need to use eBay more. -.- paying retail for everything... blasphemy

I got an Icon from Amazon eventually, its not that expensive, only $50. its small, lightweight, pretty good, except it doesnt have caller ID function offered by new Jawbone ERA.

I've got a jawbone ICON, love it. Worth way more than the $50 I paid on Amazon. I can have a conversation going down the highway with the windows in my truck with a straight piped diesel engine half down and still hear.
It does caller ID, just doesn't read the name, just the number.

Inspire 4G + Plantronics 903+
I've been using Inspire 4G paired with Plantronics 903+ headphone, mostly to listen stereo music. I'm having a lot of connection problems: sometimes the sound stops for less than a second and then continues (several times per minute), and in the worst case the connection just drops completly and I'm forced to pair the devices again.
I read some posts in the web warning about the same issues, but I couldn't find any solution for this. I even don't really know if the problem is the headphone or the phone itself.
Does anybody know a workarround to solve this? Thanks!

I use the Motorola H720 for my Inspire and for Skype. I prefer the ear loop to the in ear style for comfort during long use. It's relatively cheap and I can get almost 8 full hours of talk time. And it has proven to be very durable.

BluBridge mini-jack communication issue with One X

I bought a blubridge mini-jack Bluetooth adapter for my vehicle since it does not have Bluetooth. I can get the One X to recognize the Bluetooth (TX2) but each time it says it can't communicate with the device. I have successfully paired my phone in my wife's car with its built in Bluetooth (Mazda cx-9) w no problems..I've heard of Bluetooth issues with the HOX but not sure if its my phone or the adapter..it has decent reviews and haven't heard of issues...
Thanks in advance if anyone has info to share..

Edit: must be the Bluetooth device...tried it on my old vivid and it won't recognize it either..may be a bad unit but still feel its something with the phone.

[Q] Auxiliary Audio Out Problem

Hello,
I just switched over to the HTC One S T-Mo version from the GS2. Phone is great has its pluses and minuses over the GS2 however I am having one little issue with my device.
Whenever I try to use audio out into my car stereo it does not work it plays through the phone speaker. I was wondering if there was a setting for that on the phone? I looked on everything option I could think of. At first I thought it was the cable, but I tested it on my friends GS2 and my Ipod as well and still works flawlessly. Then I thought it was the app( Google play) but I also tried with pandora and youtube and still no dice.
I used the search on here but came out empty, just wondering if you guys knew anything about this?
P.S. I tried two HTC ONE S's already both same thing.
Thank You

Not really and answer, but I tried using mine as well through aux input in my car, and same issue. I got a replacement from T-Mobile because the tech at the help desk said it shouldn't do that. I've tried 2 different cables in 2 different cars and same result. Sound through One S speaker. Really annoying. I had the Sensation which worked fine but not sure why this phone will play through the headphones but not through car speakers.

I agree that's how it should work. When I have my head phones in, I get sound through the head phones, but when I use it through my car stereo(I've tried 2 cars, 2 different cables) the sound comes through the one s speaker not the car speakers. All my other phones have worked the right way but this continues to play through phone speaker. Weird. This is my 2nd one s. I returned the 1st because of this very issue. Thank you.

Auxiliary Mode
My car stereo has an AUX mode that I have to manually switch it to when I want to play music from my phone through my car speakers. I noticed that some devices will switch my stereo into that mode, where as my One S will not. I suggest that you check and see if there is a way to manually enter this AUX mode from the stereo as that may be something that you never noticed because its been doing it for you this whole time.

Thank you. I have manually put it into aux mode and still one s speaker. I am going to try it in my Toyota today and see if it works. Hopefully not 0 for 3. I just wasn't sure if there was a setting on the one S I'm missing. Just seems weird that it's my 2nd one s and 2 different cars and 2 different wires.

I am now officially 0-3. I tried it in my Toyota and still sound through one s speaker not through car speakers. Not sure where to go next. Thank you for your suggestions.

Are those stock radios in both vehicles? If not what model of radios are you connecting your phone to.

Yes. All 3 are stock. 07 mercury, 10 Toyota and 12 Ford. All using different cables. Maybe return the phone again? Thank you.

There is an app on the market that will force the sound through the auxiliary output. I forget the name, you could try that.
So it works for headphones?

That's the strange thing. Headphones work fine. Even the beats comes on. Weird issue.

Try SoundAbout from the market. While it's not an official fix it should get your desired result.

If it works with headphones then I don't think your phone is the problem, it just doesn't make any sense. Set the radio to AUX, start the music on the phone and plug it while its playing, see if that works. I am at a loss.

I did that as well,I could hear the static "pop" through the car speakers when I plug in the aux jack, but it just continues to play through the phone speaker on all 3 cars. Thank you.

You can definitively say that the cables you have tried work, you have use those same cables with an iPod or some other player, right?

Yes. I had a galaxy s3 and sensation before this and they've both worked through these same cables. Thank you.

I tried a my touch 4g on the same cable tonight and it worked fine. Do I need a special type of 3.5 mm cable to make it work? Thank you.

So I called htc and the woman I spoke with said I need a cable that is certified to work with one s. But she couldn't tell me any. Does anyone know of a special 3.5 mm aux cable for our one s? Thank you.

That sounds like BS, I have a cable that I made myself and it works just fine.

HTC One S as RDP client (mouse, keyboard, monitor)

I've wondered.. would that be possible? I know that its possible to stream to an 1920x1080 monitor via MHL and i'm pretty sure i can somehow connect a mouse and a keyboard via bluetooth - or?
Which MHL Adapater and BT keyboard/mouse combo would you recommend? Does ANY BT keyboard/mouse combo work with our phone?

I have a microsoft wireless mobile mouse 3500 i dont know to sync

Hey bud,
I have a similair goal in mind and have begun gathering gear for my desktop replacement system lol. I have a monitor already. I just picked up the iHome bluetooth keyboard from my local store here. Dude, paired and connected in a snap. No extra work needed. All i do is turn bt on on the phone, turn the keyboard on and it immediattely defaults to the keyboard for text inpuut. I am in the process of researching how to remap the keys for optimized android functionality as this model is mapped out for iphone. but the media keys work well. volume up and down. pressing the play key automatically starts the media player and plays music. I am actually typing out this post on it right now in my car with my phone docked to my windshield lol. i love it. the arrow keys work in most apps to scroll through and select stuff. Now all i need is a mouse and mhl adapter. I gave up my pc when the hardrive croaked because my adroid phone does alll i need.
I started using android phones as a desktop replacement since i had my G2x. this phone is much easier to accomplish the task with. and with cloud storage we dont even need to use usbhost to latch on an external hardrive. Best of luck dude.

Logitech has a android specific keyboard. I think these have dedicated android keys for home, back and recent apps.

yeah you know...USB and JVC Radio

Title says it all...STILL trying to play music via usb. Yes rooted using usb mass storage enable. Yes it charges the phone no music is played I get "cannot play" I have every cable you can think of run behind my dash including iPhone cables , and this standard usb cable is going to be useless if I can't use it for music..can't be this hard.

Nothing from anyone?

Does yours not have Bluetooth? That's how I play mine. Try a Bluetooth dongle if it doesn't.

Its not gonna work like that. You'll have to stream bluetooth or use an aux input. What model radio? I can give you the best solution.

I wish I knew off the top of my head..no not Bluetooth. Its a very good JVC radio though. usb and aux input.

I am a professional installer as well with over 10 years under my belt and I can tell ya if its not a new radio (less than6 months old or so ) it will not work. Only some radios support mtp and its usually brand new ones... if it doesnt work then it never will... use the aux input or get a new radio

I had no issues enabling usb mass storage on my S4 and playing with USB to my jvc... But no luck yet with my s5,kinda disappointing because the sound quality was so much better via usb
