Seems interesting.. Anybody tried it??
Thanks

Couldn't wait for someone else to report back, so ordered one myself.
I bought the desktop cradle from Lee262online, and was happy with that, so I'm pretty confident it should be GR8! Also for $28USD delivered you can't go too wrong
Will post back once received and tested.

Thanks.. let us know when you receive it

Update: Gutted
10 days after paying for the holder and waiting for it to arrive, I inquired to get conformation that it had been sent and got this reply:
We are out of stock now.
If the item is arrive , we will shipped to you immediately.
If you can not wait, we can refund to you.
Thanks.

So I replied to find out if they knew when they expect the next shipment and got exactly the same reply.
Then on Lee262online's feedback I noticed an heavily increased amount of 's and someone who ordered the same item for the Elf had commented the window sucker didn't stick and the arms snapped off.
So I opted for the refund which, in Lee's defence, did come though without a problem. So I'm not out of pocket but back to the drawing board to find a reasonably priced car cradle with charger and speaker

I bought this one, no problem with shipping, arrived after 3 days. The speaker works great, but when using the headphone 2.5 mm jack to connect it to my car stereo (To listen to music, iPod like) the sound has no bass. Still looking for a solution. Works great as it keeps your phone charging so no battery drain from, GPS!
Quality is great, great plastics. Holds very good. No complaints at all.

eu26..it does look cool.. but at US40, like a little ex leh. I m in Singapore. tt will cost me abt S$60.. but it only ship to US only... don't think I can gt it in singapore.

Isn't lack of bass a general problem with the Trinity - there are quite a few threads on this and possible solutions IIRC.

It's garbage... I can live with it's crappy sound from the speaker, but what I can't live with is this:
* The phone thinks you're using a carkit, and thus the microphone is disabled. When answering the phone, the other party cannot hear you.
* The speaker buzzes when sms messages arrive or when you trinity is using gprs, just as you hear when you place your trinity near any speaker system.
These are major design flaws and make this thing useless.
The seller didn't bother to reply to me, as I had (mistakenly) already given him good points for the transaction on eBay. He probably figured: I've got my good score, nothing I need to do now.

Good Morning
I am also pissed at this product.It useless if the mic is disconnected.I am told that its is done on purpose because of a safty issue.
Is there no way to overcome this issue with a software mod.How does trinity know its on a craddle? On a normal charger the mic works fine.
THanks

just found out right now that it jumped back 59.99 i knew i made a good descion buying this
thank you sooooo much for sharing this.
I could even sell it on craigslist for 40

About the audio quality. I'm no audiophile but I do know what crap sounds like and these are not crap. I really only use them for running so it really doesn't matter to me but I'm super happy or I wouldn't have passed on the deal.

I ordered a pair as well. They should be here tomorrow.

awesome, thanks for the heads up, i was disappointed i missed these before

I missed these the first time around and got them yesterday. Holy hell these are amazing. The sound quality is crisp and great. No problems on my end. And to my surprise, the right earphone has media controls and it also has a mic which catches voice perfectly. Best 25$ I ever spent. Ill never go back to corded headphones. Thanks for the tip mate.
Hitorii

Just so everyone knows, the deal is over. I tried to get some yesterday. Going to keep looking since this seems to be a recurring deal.
price now is $59.99

is this charger a mini or micro USB connection? i want to go all micro since that's where the industry is headed (except APPL lol)

Its micro......

rats, deal expired. now $59.99

ooo, these look quite good, are they heavy/bulky to wear?

More Nexus 4 accessories showing up on Play Store

Hi all,
So yesterday after the Wireless Orb showed up on the play store, I noticed some more accessories showing up next to the bumper and orb (only under the 16GB Nexus 4 section).
The links did not go anywhere but this is what was showing up for me (up until about 2-3 PM yesterday:

These accessory prices are eerily similar to Apple's.

The headphones look nice, but they should of came with the phone lol

I'd rather have the cheaper phone. Bundled headphones are always crap. Give me a cheaper phone and I'll source my own headphones.

Looks like the same headphone from here

Makes sense, it is an LG sourced phone after all.
I am really happy that LG is taking being a Nexus partner seriously. Samsung sucked at it despite getting 3 stabs at it. They didnt give a damn about the Nexus S or the Galaxy Nexus despite even getting thier stupid little moniker on the device name. Also, they still havent produced any accessories for the Nexus 10.
LG, on the other hand, made a superior phone and appears to be making a real effort to keep up stock and source accessories.

Lol I was half-way joking and I actually agree with you!!
I never really use the headphones anyway, both my Nexus S and Galaxy Nexus headphones are still in the box!!

OP links no longer work

It's like a combination of the brilliant iOttie EasyFlex 2 and the wireless charging orb.
I was so excited when I first saw that video I even made a thread on reddit about it.

As per the original post, the links never went anywhere, and this only showed up for me for about 3-4 hours yesterday afternoon, I can no longer see them when browsing the play store, however these are the links that were attached to the items.

Iv been doing some digging and it turns out that the headphones in the picture in the OP are in fact the LG optimus G/ LG Quad Beat.
http://rageworx.tistory.com/1324
Or search LG Quadbeat. I think they are currently only being sold in South Korea, (Lucky which is where i am atm)
Also selling for 18.800 Won which is about £11.10p

Updated: Headset for my new Nexus 4

Hi all,
I'm still looking for a decent headset for my Nexus 4. I've gone through browsing/reviewing many products this week, and I was dead certain I was going to get these SkullCandy Headsets but then found out the Mic is incompatible with Android phones.
I'm dead certain these 3 below are compatible with my Android device, please help me decide which one, thank you!
Samsung EHS-61 (£10.00)

Apple EarBuds MB770G/B (£14.00)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_earbuds
Audio Technica ATH-C505iS (£14.50)
http://www.audiotechnicashop.com/index.php?route=product/product&path=91_87&product_id=330
Now, the Audio Technica one is a new discovery, I was browsing around today and I spotted this one on Amazon/Ebay but is cheapest on their main site which suits me fine.
I can get the Samsung's for £10, Apple EarBuds for £14 and Audio Technica for £14 also.
Please advise on which one you think is better and why. In my head, I think the Audio Technica would be best, why? I've heard people say the Apple EarBuds sound isn't all that, they break easily the cap on the earbud itself and where the wire goes into the actual earbud there is no protection, one bit of a pull and you could damage the earphone. Samsung seems the cheapest option out there, this is probably a freebie with most of the older Samsung's, I think this may be the S2 or S3 headset.
Audio Technica has a Sensitivity of 102dB, the Samsung has a Sensitivity of 105dB and the Apple EarBuds have a Sensitivity of 109dB.
Sorry, didn't expect to write so much, hopefully I can get some good feedback from you all

what about iphone 5's earbuds much better than the 4S ones but don't expect the controls to work though

I've heard that the Apple EarBuds don't really fit all ears and you can't use the standard foam/cotton caps on them to make it a bit more bigger for fit, also they are quite hard so can make your ears hurt if in for long. Read this from reviews.

Updated the whole thread, please advise, would love to order one of the 3 today after good feedback, cheers!

The audio tech... H are really good earbuds . Look at the reviews

I have a pair of OLD AT's and they are great for clarity, but literally NO bass. I cannot vouch for these though, sorry.
But I kinda like the a-jays one+

You could definitely look into the senhiser range. I personally have a pair, mic less as I don't like in line microphones, and they are amazing.
The dB count on these can go up to a wopping 120, that's what mine do anyways. Definitely check them out!
Oh and I forgot to say, I brought mine for £10 but a good pair with mic can be around £20

Do add some links for me on where I can purchase at this price, I'm impressed. I do love Sennheiser too.

Pre Order Confusion

Ok I preordered direct from Samsung my S8+, one of my friends is doing the carrier route. The confusion is over the AKG headphones. I thought that was only included if you bought the $99 extra package? He says no he's getting them with his S8 in the pre order? Is that just because he did it thru the carrier and I went direct thru Samsung??

My understanding is the headphones are included with the phone, pre-order or not.

This should solve your confusion.

I think only the earbuds come with it. The full headphones are only part of that $99 offer.

Ok maybe he's not understanding what I am saying about the Earbuds and thinks its the headphones. LOL

I'm sure all S8 & S8 Plus devices ship with "Earbuds" tuned by AKG, this is my understanding.......

Earbuds are headphones. On ear headphones are part of the $99 package. The in ear headphones are free in the package with the phone.

I understood it to mean if you paid the extra $99, you'd get the wireless version of the earbuds tuned by akg. All others come with the wired version

Since the big 4 carriers won't provide any subsidize phones, I just sumply hate to order new phones

Earbuds are not headphones. Headphones are over ear and earbuds are in ear. Is a iPod a walkman? Lol

The AKG headphones that you get in the box are wired earbuds. The ones you get in the $99 package are over-the-ear bluetooth headphones (AKG Y50BT), like in the image below:
