stereo bluetooth question

[konzern]

im really tempted to buy a stereo bluetooth headset but still undecided to which one....everytime i think i have one chosen i see another one with great reviews

anyways my question (besides what stereo bluetooth should i get) is does stereo bluetooth allow for radio apps to be streamed thru the headset?

[Gary.Lavin]

Your assuming we will get stereo bluetooth support with Cupcake?

[konzern]

well most of the ppl that are rooted are already running a hacked version of cupcake with a2dp (stereo bluetooth)

[Gary.Lavin]

I would wait, my headset won't even connect.

[konzern]

wait on wat? its already proven that it works! thats not the question tho

[crazythunder]

yes, you can listen to anything the phone produces on your headset.

[dwang]

I can listen to last.fm with my bluetooth stereo headset no problem.

[Broken1]

I'm also wondering which headset to buy. I'm looking for a set of dj style headphones mostly for music. the Motorola s805 looks pretty good and has gotten some decent reviews on amazon.

AWESOME NOW I THINK I GOT IT NARROWED DOWN TO THE NOKIA BH-503 (1st) BLUEANT X5i (2nd) AND CARDO S2 (3rd)

In fact I'm listening to way more music and podcasts now that I don't have all those wires dangling from my phone.

BT stereo is really awesome!

[konzern]

I don't want large headphones or earbuds just regular size headphones that wrap around the back of the head

[constellanation]

I have a pair of motorola headphones that sound like you might be looking for konzern... can't remember the model number

edit: ht820 is the model

[agentaaron]

Not to threadjack...but its a related topic, has anyone ever tried a soundblade bluetooth speaker?

I am looking for a bluetooth desktop speaker for my office at work...I really do not want headphones though. Anything you would recommend?


I was also considering this...but it looks a little funky

hey i wanted to get a pair of those as well! if you do get them let me know how they work!;)

[konzern]

Ok a little update I bought both the s9-hd and the samsung sbh500 from bestbuy to give them a little field test then choose the better one.

today I used the s9-hd's
Price: around $107.00 at bestbuy
http://thm-a02.yimg.com/image/b9f559d6fe8e367a
THE GOOD:
1.Awesome sound
2.Very Comfortable
3.Sleek
4.Easy to use buttons
5.good range

THE BAD:
1.in some instances pausing the music for whatever reason then coming back to it and playing it made the song very choppy.
2.the call quality is not the best

Tomorrow I will use the sbh500 and report my findings
ALTHOUGH I ALREADY WORE THEM AND YEEEEES THEY ARE VERY UNCOMFORTABLE LIKE 99 PERCENT OF THE REVIEWS SAID

[konzern]

so today i used the samsung sbh500
price: around $73.00 at bestbuy
http://thm-a04.yimg.com/image/15b65212cb3d8944
THE GOOD:
1.the sound quality is great
2.easy to use buttons (i think the s9 buttons are easier though)

THE BAD:
1.VEEEEERY UNCOMFORTABLE
2.while just walkin and the phone on my belt clip the signal was terrible! the music would cut off every step i would take

overall these are good headphones if your phone is gonna stay on your desk or something stationary. also they are good headphones if you have a 5 year old's head! very unconfortable. the sound quality is about the same as the MOTOROLA S9-HD headphones. I would not recommend these headphones because of the comfort issue.

[konzern]

in summary i would most definetly recommend the s9-hd over the sbh500
yes the s9-hd headsets are more expensive but its quality
if your on a budget then the sbh500 has a great sound and could be found on amazon for around 30-50 dollars

[Sisco]

A few days ago I ordered a pair of S9HD for me and a pair of S9 for my girlfriend. I know the S9HD will be clearer than the S9's, but I wanted to see how clear. The cost was $69 for the S9HD and $15 for the S9. Both pairs were new.

I am glad to see the good review of the S9HDs. ow call quality is fine because I will be using them just for music anyways.

Rick

[konzern]

yeah i dont really use them for call quality, so where did u buy your s9hds? i just bought these to try them out and pick out the better ones then order them online

[Sisco]

I purchased them from eBay.

Rick

[konzern]

i have always felt like ebay is so sketchy! but i have bought from ebay before, i just rather buy from amazon, or newegg i dont even know why lol

[konzern]

so i just ordered my s9-hd from ebay for 68 bucks and bought a bluetooth dongle for my pc cuz i figured might as well use them with my comp too

this is the dongle i bought..... if it doesnt work its only 5 bucks i lost lol

i actually just bought these today and i agree with you man. although, maybe my head is shaped weird lol, but they arent that uncomfortable for me....

[konzern]

the HDs arent unconfortable THEY ARE VERY CONFORTABLE, the sbh500 on the other hand are very uncomfortable!!!

UPDATE

i just got my bluetooth dongle

http://i6.ebayimg.com/05/i/001/28/1b/8c93_2.JPG

aight.... although i try to avoid anything from hong kong...

[konzern]

yeah thats what i mean, i would rather pay the 5 bucks and have it shipped from here in the U.S than pay 3 and get it from hong kong

[ROGUE7474]

I've had S9's since they came out and I love them. It did take so time to get used to if you have a smaller head, because they tend to slide down.

[LazyGenius]

you have just the S9's or the S9HD's?

[LazyGenius]

just tested out my s9hd's at the gym and figured i would give a report. they were comfortable when running and i think they might even be sweat proof... the only problem i had was when i did anything lying down...(ie: bench, crunches, etc.)
but overall it was def do-able...

[konzern]

just a little update, i got the s9-hds from ebay and they are not in the original box
they came in a bubble wrap envelope with just the headset, chager, and the user manual. i emailed the seller kinda pissed off cuz it came with two different sized ear buds (one of each not a pair of each) the seller apologized for that and told me he would send me the earbuds plus a complimentary car charger

mmhmm, that's what ya get for playing with ebay-fire ;)

[konzern]

well atleast he tried to make it all good! expect i asked for the carrying bag that came with the headphones and i guess i was asking for too much cuz he replied with the "whats included" lol which was
headset
charger
manual

lol but the whole 2 different sized earbuds is unacceptable dont u think?

lol now that's funny
ya the earbuds thing would annoy me

[knowledgegtech]

I have the samsung SBH500 so far I think
music - good not as much bass as I thought but good I enjoy
range- about 30 feet or so will just cut out a little bit
call quality - good no one asked if I was on headset or speakerphone I asked a friend and she said sounded great
size-a little bigger than I wanted im picky about that though
comfortably- after long use feels a little tight
the performance has been good I might get something a bit sleeker I have a 30 day return I like the look of the Motorola s9 's but not sure yet

[knowledgegtech]

what is the diffrence between the s9 and s9 hd just the model number?

[Ogredude]

I'm also wondering which headset to buy. I'm looking for a set of dj style headphones mostly for music. the Motorola s805 looks pretty good and has gotten some decent reviews on amazon.



I just got my s805 headphones a couple days ago. They're *GREAT*! The sound is excellent, and the play/volume/call controls are all right on the headphones. Battery life is pretty darn good, and it charges with the same charger as the G1. You can get it for less than $35 landed from buy.com. Includes the headphones and a charger. The full kit has a special adapter cable to plug it into a wired audio source, and a case. It's about $8 more.

I'm VERY happy with these headphones.

[wolfmeiister]

I've got a pair of Nokia BH-604's - they're large DJ style headphones. I'm very happy with them. Sound quality is amazing, they're comfortable to wear and battery life is like, 19 hours...

Only problem is the G1 - there's an A2DP bluetooth issue (discussed in another thread) that causes drop outs in the audio from time to time. The cause of the issue isn't known exactly (I suspect it's a BT antenna/signal issue), but a lot of people seem to be experiencing it. Hopefully it's just a software issue, and will be fixed...
