Hi, I was wondering if any of you guys use a bluetooth stereo headset for your G2's because I've been looking for a certain kind. I'm looking for one that is wireless(duh) and it connected by the buds with a wire that's small and similar to the one that came with our phones. So pretty much our stock headphones, just without the cord connecting to the phone. I saw one the other day on a website but I can't find it at all.
Thanks for your time

Check out the Sony's MW600, it does the job quite well for me
It has got some tiny limitations, but its really good, for its price
Not sure if how it will perform with G2, but on DZ is soooooooo cool

I have had great success with Altec Lansing Backbeat 903 and they can be had fairly cheaply. While mine are 1+ years old, Plantronics offers an updated BackBeat 903+. Altec Lansing is owned by Plantronics or vice versa.

I second that recommendation. Those are great headphones especially for working out. If you don't really need bluetooth I've gone to the zagg smartbuds after getting tired of charging my backbeats and my phone from constant Bluetooth use. These just stay around my neck all day and offer everything the backbeats do, just not wireless and better sound quality.
I'm waiting on Bluetooth 3.0 to really make Bluetooth headphones really take off, with better performance overall (sound quality, outdoor performance, and 3.0 is a higher number than 2.1 duh). Have trouble at times outdoors (nothing to bounce off of). So my recommendation is the backbeats or the Cardozo s2's I believe if you aren't married to that form factor.

dont get the zagg smartbuds.... they are a ripoff. just like the rest of their products.
the best buds under $100 are the klipsch image s4's
I use Motorola s305
Got em off of amazon for less that $35 and they are very nice...

I actually use a Sony Bluetooth unit that has a standard 1/8" jack and plug my Shure's into that. The little controllers are hard to find now as everyone seems to want to bundle their earphones in with them.

I just found this and it looks really nice, not so sure about the clip though, but I can adapt. It meets the requirements I was looking for. The bluetooth is actually in the small device and the headphones are interchangeable with any one with a 3.5mm jack. I hope that it would come with its own set of headphones because they look really short and that's what I'm looking for. I don't want the hassle of having to untangle headphones after every usage, so I think this might be what I'm looking for. Has anybody else tried this before? I also wonder if it's completely compatible with Android.

These are the MW600 that Wolek76 is talking about in his post above. They are known to work with the Desire Z though some functionality like trackId is not working. I should be getting these for my Desire Z today/tomorrow.
I have been to frys electronics and best buy, and have bought every single one they offer at least once.
Ive tryed at least 20+ and every single one cuts off very often if I am jogging and the phone is in my side pocket.
If anyone has any suggestions be my guest and lmk please haha. Maybe something that makes you hold your phone higher or closer to your ears so the bluetooth connection doesnt break so often.

Yes these are the MW600 which wolek76 recommends, and so do I. Been using them with my Nexus One and now Galaxy S, and love them. The ear buds are very comfortable and have great sound quality, and if you still dont like em you can use any 3.5mm headphones with the unit. You can save 3 devices to use the Bluetooth with (either phone OR your BT-enabled laptop), and switch between them with press of a button. Good battery life and and the controls work with alternative Android music applications like Poweramp as well as Google Listen.
The unit did get stuck on me 3-4 times during my 6-7 months of use, by stuck I mean nothing works and you have to wait till the battery drains and it shuts itself off lol. Its ridiculous that this thing doesnt have a Reset button.
Highly recommend this headset, and cant wait to start using it with my G2 when it arrives next week.

Hi all,
Just wanted to second wolek76's recommendation for the MW600. I've been using them with my Desire Z.
The performance of the bluetooth headset is excellent - especially you you replace the supplied earphones with your own favourites (Denon AH-751s for me )
Only downsides:
No contact name on display (though the callers phone number is displayed)
No track name on display
Other than that they are excellent.
Cheers

Have you guys used the headphones that came with the bluetooth set? Is the quality of it good, or does it not come with short corded headphones?
Merry xmass everyone
Yes, these come with in-ear buds with three different rubber sizes. Headphones themselves are on a short lead and asymmetric (so that the cable for one ear is shorter, and the other one goes behind the neck)
As someone mentioned earlier, these are removable, so you can use any earfones u wish.
Quality of sound is fine for me, although I'm no expert on that matter....

How would you say the headphones that come with the mw600 compare to the one that comes with the desire z? Better?
Definately better!!!
Original htc ones dont stay in my ears whatsoever. Maybe I got weird ears but never managed to to get any htc earphones make stay in my ears (s740, touchpro2, DZ).
the SE ones actually go 'into' your ear blocking any external noise. Im very happy with that solution, but I know it isnt to everybodys taste/preference.
btw. I got MW600 for my sister...
she's got SE X10 and wanted a FM radio....
will check if these work any better with Android on SE fone (track ID, caller ID)
merry x-mass
Well, even though mw600 and X10 are made by same manufacturer, there is still no caller ID, and no track ID.
This must be definitely android issue then.
Just hope that ginger update with its new 'BlueZ' will help, when it finally lands in our Desires...
Fingers crossed

Hello everyone,
I found this headset Bayerdynamic MMX 101 iE accidentally just a while ago.
If anyone has tried it, can you please write your review here?
Edit: Is the sound quality good? Microphone quality? Compatibily with Desire?
http://europe.beyerdynamic.com/shop/hah/headphones-and-headsets/sports-and-on-the-way/mmx-101.html
This has caught my eyes since a few day ago but I can not find any reviews at all.
So, any words for this headset will be very appriciated since I need one right now.
Edit: Sorry misstyping by Beyerdynamic , it should be Bayerdynamic
you couldn't find more expensive ones, could you?

Well...€99 still belongs to the middle class..there are still more with more expensive.
I think the price range between €70-€100 is the correct range for me, more than €100 is a bit too expensive.
Remember you get what you pay.
That type is competely new and there is still no real review available...perhaps I just have to wait for some time until the review is there.

I have found several good ones above €100 but I am not planning to go that high.
It was launched during the musikmesse/music fair just a while ago so..it's kinda new and still without any convincing review.
I will have to wait until there are more review.
Hi Im fairly new to these forums but i can tell you that you cant go wrong with these. I bought these about a week ago and have been nothing short of stunned by the quality. They have great bass and really crisp clear midrange. I would say that these are better than the sennheisers and klipschs s2i that i have.
One thing to note is that make you play around with the earbuds as if you get them wrong they sound really flat and dull so make sure you get them to seal in your ears properly.
It is also a coincidence, yesterday I met some in train on the way home after work.
I asked if I can use it for a couple of minutes in the train, and he said yes.
My review within a few minutes:
1. sound quality is incredible for the price.
2. mic is also good.
3. unfortunately, no volume control or whatsoever except a button to pick up and hang up the call. (not really a big problem, not really in need of a mic and pick up button anyway).
4. metal housing for the ear pieces is awesome.
5. the cable looks extremely fragile to me. it is thin, not braided, etc.
(I am not sure of getting this headset because of this. This is the biggest downside. My current in-ear headphone (Klipsch Image S3) has just given up or lost its life just last night, the cable got broken again. The warranty is still there, but I don't want to claim it for the third time. I just prefer a new one instead of waiting weeks for claiming. It must be something wrong with how I store the headphone in my bag ).
6. Ear plug/bud don't fit my ears perfectly, I have tried on the one attached tho'. (It could be another problem)
I also found Philips SHO9560 (O'Neal stretch). It looks super robust but doesn't have good sound relatively compared to mmx-101i. Its look is also very appealing.
Now, I'm confused.
Way too expensive for me.
For the same price (or cheaper) I would get headphones/earphones from already proven company: Sennheiser.
Update:
Phillips SHO9560 sounds teribble.
MMX101ie doesn't really fit my ear...it comes off often (unless I get the individual package, but it is too expensive)...I don't wanna get an in-ear anymore...getting something which fits my ear is just a matter of luck...
No AKG products fits my huge head size (honest), I like the sound of AKG K518 but it is too small for my head, tried also 430, 420, 520, etc....
This is official! I hate AKG! This company never thinks of people with huge head like me! It is discrimination!
Sony XD300, XD500...sounds dark (bass too strong, trebble not clear)
Dr. Dre Solo HD is too expensive for the quality I am getting.
I will look for some more...Sennheiser, Denon, Bose, etc....
What I hate is that Desire can not really pull Sennheiser PXC450 (I own one at home and I use it mostly during flights or at home)....volume gets too low even on max.
Sh*t it is not easy to find the correct one!
Late response!
I just found this thread after looking into the MMX101 iEs myself - what was your solution in the end? I really like these headphones and fortunately they fit my ears; unfortunately though, the mic and answer button did not work, so I'm having to send them back. Hopefully the replacements will work fine!
Did you settle on over-ear headphones in the end? Given your situation I would have recommended the Sony MDR-V500 - great headphones, excellent range, solid bass response which is punchy but doesn't overwhelm the mid-range, and amazingly cheap considering!
Hope you managed to get this sorted anyway.
I've got these. Nothing short of awesome. The sound quality at all levels is incredibly crisp and you don't use any equaliser settings/tweaks as the ear phones sort all that out for you. Had mine for two years now and need a new set and will definitely buy the same ones again.
Also get 3 pairs of different size buds depending on what suits your ear best.
Someone can confirm the microphone and remote of Beyerdynamic MMX-101 works with android?
Thanks

That does not depend on OS (Android, iOS, Windows). The "problem" is different layout of rings on the 3.5mm connector with different phone manufacturers ("microphone" and "ground" rings are swapped). It's natively compatible with iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch, Blackberry and HTC. If you want them to work correctly with Nokia, Sony, Samsung, Motorola, LG and other models you have to buy a separate adaptor.
I bought V-Moda M100 in the end.
It is expensive but worth every single penny I spent

Regarding the headphones with mic, realised that i will need ones that reduce external noise, as i realised i can't listen to music or watch films easily on the london underground with the htc headphones bundled with the phones. any ideas?

Some discussion about various headphones on this thread (particularly near the end): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1638272
Some of the recommendations given are for "regular" earphones (no mic or controls) but some do have those.
Some of the headsets with mic and controls will claim "noise isolating", which just means they act like an earplug, passively muffling outside noises. But it sounds like you might actually need active noise cancelling. Not sure if there are too many headsets with mic and control (compatible with Android) that also have active noise cancelling.
London underground? You know this forum is for the US/Canada version of the One X, right?
Hi guys,
I don't know about you, but I'm using often the earphones (especially when I'm cycling, and I do that daily, for about 20-30km), and I got to say that I'm not satisfied about this one's from S6. I had previously htc one m8 dual sim which was pretty good (not like bang&olufsen or bose though).
So, do you have any mods installed to hear a bit better?
What's frustrating for me is if I want to hear nice and clear and a bit louder, I have to press with my hands on the earphones (continuously).
Any ideas apart buying dedicated earphones (like one from above)? Maybe you know any good wireless earphones in ear? (max. budget would be 100£).
L.E. I finally decided to give it a go to Sony SBH-80. I would expect them to arrive tomorrow (and I will leave you a feedback here, if you're interested).
Try Sennheiser Momentum In Ear for Android.
How about Xiaomi Huosai Piston v3 Black Headphones? http://glass4m.com/product/xiaomi-huosai-piston-v3-black-headphones
I don't think the phone comes with them. What headphones everyone will be using? Also, if anyone has the phone, could you let us know if the volume and call controls work on the headphones you have. Thanks!
When traveling I'll be using Audio-Technica ATH-M50x. In the office I use iPhone ear buds. They volume buttons don't work but the play/pause button does.
Sennheiser IE8i and Beyerdynamic t51i. Both have controls made for the iPhone so I'm only expecting the center button & mic to work like the rest of the Android phones I've plugged them into. If anyone has any recommendations for great headphones with full Android controls, I'm all eyes.
I'll be using RHA t20i and the Blue MOFI headphones. Don't have the phone yet. Going to try to OTG with my OPPO HA2, but will need an adaptor first. The RHAs expose bad recordings, so it will be interesting to see how the 6p performs without the DAC. The MoFi's just sound good with everything.
I have the monster isport victory headphones, and the play/pause buttons work and so does answering calls. The seek tracks buttons dont work though. These headphones have been great so far for an active person. There water resistant and have even survived the wash and dryer twice!
I have a pair of black and white zipbuds slide I bought about a month ago to go with my frosty 6p. So far I love them because they have a zipper to prevent the buds from getting tangled. The sound is WAY better than any other earbuds I've owned and it actually has bass! I'm not an audiophile by any means but I really love them and can't wait to get my 6p to match.
Also, I recommend getting them from amazon because they were $20 cheaper at the time.

I think i had those Klipsch ear buds - a very good set of headphones. Don't they have a 3 button mic you could customize in android via an application?
Also, the Sennheiser Momentums are a great sounding pair. Thought of throw that out there.

I believe that's the s4a. Mine is made for iOS but it was way cheaper ($40) and it's the reference edition. I have a Pebble to help me with controls otherwise. I haven't used the buttons in a while, so I'll try them again and let u know.
mosincredible Android OEMs implement the volume controls differently and not consistently. The IE8i you have have replaceable cables. I am not familiar with those headphones and am not sure what connectors they use. If they use common connectors (e.g. MMCX or two pin) then you can get an aftermarket cable on Ebay. There are many cable options that work with Samsung devices and they sometimes work with other brands. For instance my cables have full controls with my G4 but only had the standard play pause on my Motorola and HTC. When my phone gets here and if my cables work and your IEMs have common connectors I can direct you to aftermarket options.
As for headphone recommendations based on what you currently own if you are looking for IEMs I would carefully consider getting customs (CIEMs). There are tons of good CIEM suppliers and constant new entries to the market so pricing is very competitive. Of consideration though CIEMs generally have terrible resale value. Also, depending on how you use them (e.g. for working out or hard physical activity) and how sensitive/flexible your aural canals are fitment can be far more challenging than the glowing online reviews of how comfortable they are would lead you to believe. However, once you get a great fitting CIEM it's hard to go back to a universal.
My path to great CIEMs for my purposes was not as smooth as it appears to be for most people on for instance Head-Fi. I have a few pairs of very expensive acrylics that get very little use. I ultimately had to get silicone CIEMs to get something comfortable for my activities and admittedly excessively long listening sessions. In summary consider CIEMs but do so carefully as at least for me it was expensive and much harder to get to what I thought I was certain to get on the first try.
