Which BT earpiece for my HTC Pro? - Touch Pro, Fuze Accessories

Guys I need to purchase another bt. Been using my Treo bt and it's getting kinda old. Read too many opinions on what works best. Thought about the Jawbone 2 but I hear it is too low. What is working well witih you? Thanks

Plantronics 925 works great for me.

I like the quality of the original jawbone, but for current generation stuff, I like the blue ant. I haven't tried a jawbone2 yet.

couple of BT and audio questions

I have the 8125 with the 2.25ROM. As for BT I just currently have a single earpiece (mono).
Can one not listen to audio through the earpiece? I of course understand it's mono but I'm primarily interested in audiobooks.
With that said, is the HT280 compatible with the 2.25ROM of the 8125? I seem to remember some issues that is wasgoing to be then wasn't, but not really caring that much at the the time I don't remember what the verdict was.
If neither of the above will not work can someone recommend a decent pair of wired earpieces? The OEM version that comes with the 8125 are awful and today on the way home I realized (duh) that when I have my MP3 earpiece in the person on the other end of the phone cannot hear me.
Thanks all,
David

I got my HT820s in the mail yesterday. They work fantastic and sound great. No complaints other than the earpieces are a tad thick. They are comfortable and lightweight.. just I look kinda silly with them on . But I like them anyway.

Best Bluetooth

I know this is more of an opinion question, but..
What is the best blue tooth ear piece or head set to be used with the Titan. Please also post with any particular one that was noticeably bad.
thanks
VERY good results with the Plantronics Voyager 885. Mono and stereo in one. Good streaming and working controls (AVCRP and Handsfree).
Moto H700, Blueant Z9, Plantronics 510 are good. I've tried about 10 and those worked best, many seem to pick up static, others seem to sound very muffled.
For headphones, the Moto S9's work great for me. Amazing sound, better than some expensive wired heaphones I have.
another vote for motorola s9, stereo sound is great, call quality is good (i still cant figure out where the microphone is on this thing but people can hear me just fine)
just wish i could get custom ringtones to play in the earpeice

What ROM are you running. I want to make sure Moto S9 is compatible with 3.16.
I have bee using the Samsung WEP500 and love it.

The BlueAnt Z9 rocks. Works perfectly with my Sprint Mogul
I love my Sony DS980 works great except the phone book feature
I hope when Sony WM6 phone hits the market this will be possible
to have the drive and get it working.

Really? I bought it at bestbuy and was told my voice sounded horrible compared to my 510. I figured it just didn't play well with the Mogul

I have tried about 10 different ear pieces with my phone. I like the Jabra BT8010 the best. It serves two purposes. It can answer calls and with the extra adaptor piece it serves as bluetooth stereo. when u have it on the music setting you can hear all sounds (ringtones, warnings, voicecommand) thru the earpiece without the adaptor connected. That way you dont have to use that funky dongle to listen to music, etc. only bad thing is it picks up outside noise very easy.

Aliph jawbone baby. Works like charm, never any static. By far the best bluetooth headset out there.

Jawbone and Tilt?

I am thinking about ordering the Jawbone. I would like to know your experiences with it and the Tilt. Please post.
works fine. I was just finished testing it with my friend. I was in front of the TV speaker (literally).. blasting away, and she can still hear me clearly.
I have used the Jawbone since it was released and it has NEVER let me down; great headset.
Worth the money in my opinion.
Works great for me
I originally bought the Jawbone for use with a previous phone and had no problems. When I moved on to the Tilt I found that the incoming audio was too low to be useful. After re-reading the user guide, I found I could increase the Jawbone's output volume very easily and did so. It now works perfectly for me. I'm a happy guy again.
I'm a big fan of this headset. I regularly make calls from busy airport waiting areas, restaurants, and noisy cars. All that the people on the other end hear is my voice. Remarkable.
yep, never had a minutes problem with mine. perfect combination!
I'm a Jawbone fanboy, however, the Jawbone inbound audio is lower on Tilt than other phones. I still use it as others still hear me clearly in noisy enviornments but I do have trouble hearing people in loud places even with the headset turned up to max. This is on 2 different Jawbones and only on my Kaiser. Maybe Tilt is better, don't know for sure.
I have the Jawbone and LOVE it!
For those saying they have low audio, you can fix that through a registry tweak.

No, Not really. I've tried all of them so far and there is no difference, it's still the same and it's lower than my Razr and 8525.
No problems with my Jawbone, people can't even tell I'm on it! Doesn't block wind well though, but its not supposed to.

Also how good is talktime in Jawbone ?
does it last 5hrs or more /less
Please
I love the Jawbone.. my only complain is the earbud keep falling off when you're in a hurry of putting it on. The earloop is a bit uncomfortable.
bottom line, it's a great piece of technology with not too great of ergonomic design. The earbud and earloop are detachable.
Great, great piece. Buy the Jabra ear gels and use them instead of the ones that come with the Jawbone. Work better.
Own a Jawbone for a while and works very well, as long as no direct wind into the mic. Other than that, I drove with the windows down and moonroof open and the other person could hear me clearly. Avg speed 65mph.
Also, I've been trying the BlueAnt Z9 headset with the Tilt, so far so good. Still testing though. Its a lot smaller and lighter than the Jawbone. The best part is, you can upgrade the firmware on the BlueAnt Z9 via USB/PC. Believe the latest is v3.4 now.
Wooty, just notice, my 100th post...

Question about choosing a Plaintronics headset

Hey what's up?
Just wondering what kind of Plantronics headset do you all have?
I'm looking for a headset that has good volume, and I can be able to hear the other person talking.
I was thinking about either 510, 520 or the 815.
Thanks a bunch.
plantronics 510
I have had 3 and love them..
I use the other models at work for a help desk.. I love them ALL..
Stay away from the 600 series. The control button on these is awful - completely unreliable.
(It looks like the 600 series is discontinued in favor of the 900 series though. 900 has a different design.)
Edit: I was wrong, 600 series units still exist within the Discovery line. Avoid them. I have an Explorer 300 series that is much more reliable, but isn't as comfortable and doesn't have the sound quality.)
I heard been looking around for a good headset for a while.
I tried Jabra BT8040, 8010, DogTag, SE DS980.
End up I'm using Motorola H12. Now no more people complain about I cannot hear your voice......
Motorola H12 is dual mic design... You can hear clearly walking on the street with wind... and people didn't complain... I love it now..

Best bluetooth headset for my epic?

I'm looking to get a new bluetooth earpiece and I was wondering what u guys are using.
I want all the goodies and dont care too much about price.
What r the best earpieces out right now?
Thanks!
Sent from my mighty Epic using XDA App.. Sweet!
I like the Blueant T1. It isn't cheap, but compared to other earpieces with similar features it is quite reasonable. The Q2 looks nice too, but is a little too "smart" for my tastes.
I swear I'm not trying to shill for Sammy but their WEP200 is well-made, tough, simple, small and good. And cheap. Only drawback is that you may have a bit of a struggle getting a good fit, but there are separate ear gels that help, like the one variety pack I bought at Best Buy last night made by Jawbone. I've been using this same WEP200 for going on 5 years, and never wanted another.
The Blueant T1 has worked great for me. You can find it on-line for about 49.00 and Best Buy runs them on sale sometimes. It will speak text and play Music.
check out the jawbone icon
I've gotten the Samsung wep 780 and 750 and other older ones bur I lose them
sent from my epic 4g with no 4g
Was originally looking at an earset but glad I found out about and bought a Blueant S4 speakerphone instead since it's mainly for driving. Anxiously waiting for Froyo on Epic so it can support hands-free voice dialing.
If you want comfort and really good quality get a motorola h710 and its not too expensive
Epic 4g
I'd go with either the Icon or the Motorola Finiti. Hopefully once 2.2 rolls around we'll get the same features, but on my Evo my Finiti would read all SMS and was amazing at voice commands and responses.
Blueant Q2. Expensive, but awesome.
Jawbone Icon here. Love it.
I've got a Blueant Q2 coming soon. I had a Z9 and Z9i before that. Anything Blueant is good. Some of the Z9s or Z9is can be had for $20 if you find a sale.

Plantronics Voyager 855 Stereo Bluetooth Headset
or the one I have which is
Samsung HM3500, which is also stereo with included earbuds adapter.
Excellent products. Look them up. Both are A2DP of course. I use the HM3500 with my Vizio TV all the time.
Voyager Pro +
It works great, sounds great, supports A2DP so I can listen to my media through the earpiece (ie, music, youtube, podcasts, etc.) and it's comfortable.
Plantronics Discovery 975 Connects super fast to the epic!!!
It always reconnects when I separate the two devices, unlike others when they separate, the earpiece turns off.
So you have to turn it back on, for it to pair again.
Very light weight, super comfortable,good battery life and the portable charger/pouch comes in handy
And as far as wind it filters it out pretty good. Noticeably better than the jawbone 2

It sounds good but in my opinion you look like a cyborg with the thing on and gets a little uncomfortable when you where sunglasses.
Plantronics Voyager Pro hands down.
Its comfortable and has active noise cancellation. Everyone that I've talked to absolutely loves their's.
Sound quality on the Jawbones is supposed to be good as well, but I don't see how they could be comfortable.
i've used plantronics backbeat for just over a year. i have a gigantic head, wear glasses/sunglasses, and my ears off uneven (yeah, i know, i'm the picture of beauty!) and the headset fits and is comfortable (sometimes i forget i'm wearing it, thus looking like a douche who walks around with his bluetooth on at all times, trying to look important).
the sound is GREAT. i'm a music snob, and i'm pleased with the sound.
the problem:
it worked great on my old blackberries, but has been pure poo-poo on my epic ever since rooting and installing custom roms. it usually pairs, sometimes connects, mostly disconnects randomly, and most of the controls don't work. and when they do work, they work for every possible app (so i can't just start and stop music. nooooo, pressing play on the headset starts music, radio, video, and podcasts.) i'm HOPING that the official 2.2 will fix this, but if it doesn't, i will be officially reclassifying this headset as utter garbage. it would be a pity too- because i REALLY love it when it works.
Im looking at getting the Jawbone Icon or Blueant T1
If anyone has used both please reply.. Ill probably get one or the other tomorrow...
Thanks in advance..
