Bluetooth headphones with no delay for movies

Hello,i want to change my wired earphones to wireless ones, so ive been searching for a bluetooth headphone that would be good not only to listen music but also good at watching movies and i couldnt find any that dosnt have few secs off delay . So anyone knows any bluetooth headphones without the delay?

I've got some dell BH200 bluetooth headphones. They work great; no delay at all.

LOL delay! a Few seconds! Who the hell would buy them?
I been using the much whined about S9(9) motorolla stereo bluetooth headset for almost a year. Got a call in to radio shack now to replace them, (volume is all that dont work- dont leave them in your glove box in 140 degree heat lolz!!)
Ive never experienced any sort of (noticeable) delay with my bluetooth, i use them for everything. Movies of all different formats even.
Im not sure if your implying that after reading the specs you think theres seconds worth the delay, or youve personally experienced it. But This kid never has.
We're talking milli-seconds not full seconds.
Do it the right way like i did, and turn in your 120 dollar receipt at work.

A2DP is designed to have no delay, so no A2DP set should have one... I have one set of BT headphones, an adapter plugged on my hifi set, and a 3rd one on portable speakers, and none have a delay. I'm also using A2DP between my laptop and desktop PC (so that the sound of the laptop goes out on the 5.1 set connected to the desktop) and there's no delay either.
So if you did experience delay, you must have stumbled upon THE rare crappy model.

Did you check the video for delay?

Some video if not properly encoded the audio will be out of sync and will get worse as it progresses into the video. You should compare the same video with the wired and wireless to verify the delay.

Music via micro usb?

Hello,
I'm considering to buy the new Desire HD, its the perfect HTC. Most of the time l'll be using it to listen to music. However there is a big problem. There is no joystick to operate easily the volume, next, previous... (my current phone is Tytn 2). That will be ok, if it was possible to operate the music form the headset. But as far as l know the 3.5mm jack cannot do that. So l'm asking, if is it possible to use the micro-usb to listen?
I'm using "special" 3.5mm headphones, l cannot (don't want to) replace them. But they don't have volume slider. I don't want every time to pull out the phone out of my pocket, out of the case and to operate it two handed just to switch the song, pause it or adjust the volume.
I don't want to use any other mp3 player. This is a habit of mine (using phone for music) since 5-6 years.
Thank You, l'm sorry for the dumb question and for my English.

The RC E160 should be compatible although I can't find any reference on HTC.com. Probably because the DHD is so new. The booklet I got within my DHD box does state the RC E160. But with bluetooth virtually everything is possible, eg. the Jabra BT3030.
--
Just checked the box again and found out that the included 3.5mm headset has a wired remote ;-) And oh yeah, they suck. Better go buy some cheap but real 'phones like Sony's EP-630, found them at bol.com for 23 euros. Just use the DHD screen, I'm sure you'll want to ;-)
(Would have posted links, but can't since not enough posts..)

Yes, l know about this headset, but l'm sure it sucks. l have nice Philips headphones, which are amazing. But in my every day l switch more than 200 songs, pause them et cetera. Its not practical and comfortable to use the screen every time, while hurrying.

You should consider one of those Bluetooth wathces.
Look at this thread for more info: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=554551

Thats quite genious! It's really good!
But why HTC and other companies made it worse?! Is it too hard to leave the joy pad?! Just to copy the bloody "fashion" design of the i-phone
And yet l have to invest more money just to listen to music....
Not always simple is better!
Thanks anyway!
However my question was, is it possible to use the usb port to listen music? Is it hardware or software thing?

The headphones are of very good quality, the sound is marvelous... it even can control next/previous/pause... can't control volume though

[Q] Force music to non-A2DP BT device

So I've asked this before back when I had the Moment, but why can't I stream to BT on a non-A2DP device? No before answering the obvious, I experience the same things on the Epic that I did on the Moment where if I have music streaming, playing from the SD, etc and a call comes in, the music will automatically pause and I can take the call. Once I end the call, I the music will play for about a second or more through my BlueAnt Z9i BT and then it will revert back to the stock speaker on the phone itself. So what is preventing someone from taking advantage of that lapse of time where the music is coming through the BT and make it happen all the time? I'm sure there are COUNTLESS people who could use and benefit from this instead of buying a dedicated BT, I might be able to stream wireless from my phone to my car stereo (BT calls capable, but I cannot stream directly to it as an input), to my PC (which has BT), etc. Just throwing it out there since I've always wondered why we couldn't capitalize on the second or two and make it a normal operation. I tried to break this post into a couple of paragraphs, but the site wouldn't let me. Anyways, thanks all.

I would also be interested in this. I was able to do this with windows mobile so there's no doubt that it can be done on a non a2dp headset.

The fact that it happens, even for a second, tells me that something is delayed that is telling it to stop. Telling it to start might be in a whole different ballpark, but point is, it should be possible. I've got 3 different BT's floating around my house...one in the house sitting around on my desk, one that I always take with me in the car (gotta be safe, ya know ) and another I keep in the garage incase I get a call while I'm working on something and/or out mowing the lawn. I'd love to even be able to be following around the GF (shoot me now) while she's shopping...imaging how much better it would be to be able to play music or hear my games without people around me knowing the wiser. I don't want to have to buy and then wear a stereo headset.

App in the Marketplace called "BTSwitch" works on my devices. try out the lite version first theres a little audio flaw with the stereo music being converted to mono (i'm guessing) but then i'm an audiophile.

The only bt switch i see on the market is a widget to turn bluetooth on and off. Could you have been referring to a different app?

I'm trying this as well at the very moment. I only see one app with that name and I don't see anything referencing a lite version. My BT doesn't even like to connect while this app is installed, causing the normal BT settings to not even allow it to pair up. I had to remove the app and reboot the phone to get the BT to connect through the normal Menu > Wireless & Networks > Bluetooth Settings before it would connect again.

I know this may not be the best timing to bump this w/ all the Froyo excitement, but I'm sure myself and others would like to see this happen. I've still got my fingers crossed that maybe someone on the sidelines could help.

It's called Super Mono BT.....They have a Froyo addition as well as a "free" edition...Free addition is just a 5 day trial, after that it's 2.99. It works fine but it's not in stereo so it sounds like AM radio, LMAO. Worth a shot though just to try.

I was able to install the app, but it doesn't work for me...yet. The problem is that is requires Cynanogen Mod and I don't have that since I've (as of yesterday) flashed my phone back to stock DI18 while waiting for Sprint to send me an OTA notice to update to Froyo. I was WAY too buddy via the download available here, so I guess I wait to use this BT app. Thanks for the reply though, I look forward to being able to use it.

Looking for Bluetooth headset

I want to buy a pair of Bluetooth headsets for use with my Acer Iconia and I decided to ask you guys for some suggestions. It is very important for the headset to have at least a Play/Pause button and a Next Track button. If there is also a previous track than that is even better. A mic is not important since I don't plan to talk. But I want to be able to change tracks while the tablet is in my backpack.
I read the thread with different accessories for this device and I did see some that I like. But I wanted to get feedback from people that actually have used the device with a certain headset and can confirm that the next track and play/pause buttons work. Also, if anyone can post some info about the needed technology for this feature to work with the device just in case I plan to buy something else than you are recommending. (Example: any headset that has XXX will work)
Regards.

I found these and on the Motorola website is sais they are compatible with the XOOm...doest that mean they work with the iconia as well? If so I may buy them: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00455CB62?qid=1317285199&ref_=sr_1_119&s=wireless&sr=1-119

Hi,
I use SonyEricsson MW600. This little thingy has volume bar control, skip forward and backward, pause/play button AND a FM radio inside!
Pairing was no problem, but I didn't test it with the tablet. However it works very well with my Galaxy I9003, so I assume it will work with the ICONIA, too.

Although it isn't often recognized, there is a distinction between "headset" and "headphones". The difference is usually branding.
A headset is often used for communication. They usually have lower quality speakers (to reduce price), and have a microphone.
Headphones and for listening only, and don't typically have a microphone, but will include speakers that are often proportional in quality to the amount you pay for them.
That being said, there are devices that try to fill both roles. This is why most people tend to get them confused. The line between "headset" and "headphones" can be rather blurred; however, when talking about bluetooth devices, this distinction becomes very important.
Bluetooth uses different protocols to communicate, depending on the type of data being transmitted. The three most common protocols for this application are:
AD2P - A uni-directional protocol, used for streaming 2 channels of high bandwidth data (audio). This is typically used for music, but will not work for headsets because the data can only travel one way at a time.
HSP - This is the primary bluetooth audio protocol, and is supported by nearly every bluetooth "headset". It is full duplex, meaning audio can travel to a from the unit at the same time, at a cost of bandwidth. As such, the downside with this protocol is that the sound quality tends to be lower. This protocol is not supported yet by the A500 (or any android tablet, AFAIK). If you get a device that requires this protocol, it will not work.
HFP - This is for hands-free features, and can work in conjuction with either of the above protocols. It allows you to control your call/music features, such as smart-dialing, volume or track skipping.
If you are looking for a "headset" that works with the A500, you might be out of luck. Based on your post, I'm guessing you're looking for "headphones", so I'll give you my recommendation, I personally like the RF-MAB2 by rocketfish. The sound quality is great in AD2P mode, and they work with my cellphone as a headset. They do support HSP and HFP, but as mentioned above, the A500 does not support the HSP protocol. The skip/forward/volume/etc buttons will work though. I like the behind the head design, which allows me to wear a bike helmet, or a hard hat (I work in construction) while I wear them. I was so impressed, a bought a second set. They usually retail about $40.
Hope that helps.

Thanks a lot for your answer. It really helped.
Not being in an English speaking country I did not not know the difference between a headset and a headphone. Thanks for clarifing that as well.

I've had these for a year. flawless on A500 and any phone

The headset really digs into the base of my skull. Owie.
I bought a set of those, but apparently I have a fat head.
Settled on the LG HBS 700 headset, and haven't looked back. Use it for my tablet, AND for my Samsung Epic 4G Touch when I go running. Best BT headset I've ever bought.

Do you prefer over the ear in inside the ear? Over the head or around the ear?
I personally HATE inside the ear headsets because they give me ear fatigue almost instantly. No matter what size, they always feel like a really big screw forcing their way into a small hole. I also dislike around the ear headsets because depending on their design can put a lot of pressure on the tips of your ears or your skull at certain points.
I own the Motorola S9 Active and S10 HD headsets and can say that they are pretty good when it comes to sound and are sweat resistant but as I said, for me they hurt after about 30 minutes of use. It may simply be the shape of my head and earholes. If your head is small then they may work nicely for you.
The only reason I endure the torture is because of the gym. My pain adds to the gain
What I use, love and has been the most comfy headset I've ever used is my over the ear, around the ear Dell BH200, unfortunately that may not help you as I don't think they are sold anymore.

I have been using this Jaybird pair for about a year when I go cycling. I was really reluctant to spend the money knowing in the ear styles never work for me, but I'm glad I gave them a shot.
Best pair of headphones I've ever used!! Crisp bass and excellent high end. Really like that I can pair with my Incredible and answer phone while biking.
Use to watch movies on my Iconia and they sound great. Pair and connect flawlessly.

i use the jabra bt8010 works great

Motorola hd9 stereo is the one I use like the HD 10 only I have had them well over two years I think
Oder extra ear buds they tend to fall off and get lost in my bottomless purse.
Grrrrrrr.

I been using MOTOROKR S305 for about a year+. No prob at all, use it when i am at gym or in rare moments when i find some free time to relax and listen to music... The thing i like about them is they dont shut the world out for me... Like in gym i can tone out the surrounding and be able to work out and enjoy music, yet i am also aware of people around me and can move out of the way if they drop a dam weight (rare occasions) or talk/spot them if they ask. Also S305 has control on the side, so you can FF or RW. If you have it paired with your phone you can answer calls or make calls using voice commands.
So far they been working well for my lifestyle.

Useful bluetooth feature of the OPO

Well most of you may already know this but I thought it was interesting enough to share. The oneplus, when connected to another device using bluetooth, acts as a speaker for the other device. So when connected to my macbook, audio from the laptop is reproduced by the phone. Plug in headphones into the phone and you've got makeshift wireless headphones. Works perfect and sound quality is fantastic. Just thought it was a pretty nifty idea to share.

Thanks! I didn't know that before.

Already found this feature when i paired with my friend's phone when his phone playing some music. Got the music played on my OPO after pairing success lol.

Thank you. Wasn't aware of this feature. This phone is just full of surprises.

That is awesome!
I'll try it out when I go home tonight. Super excited!
Two questions:
1) Can we change the track volume etc? [UPDATE: NO. We can change volume, but that's the phone's volume that we change. It is slightly different from A2DP compatible device volume. Wasn't able to change tracks.] AND
UPDATE 2: I tried the app: Tablet Remote and connected to another phone (many other apps to connect as remote to PC). Now I can even control the track, volume etc. Awesome . Link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tournesol.tabletremote With a couple of other apps, the OPO is now a permanent fixture on my car. I'll write a writeup soon of what I am doing.
2) Now, if only there was a way to show up as 'Phone Audio' and receive phone calls from another phone, that'll be the icing on the cake (have a workaround sort-of for this. App=Tablet Talk. I get phone notifications and texts from another phone)

for me its unfortunately not working with my Samsung Series9 Notebook with Windows8.1
my phone is paired with my notebook but the sound is not playing...

On your Notebook, once you connect, you will need to change the default audio output device from your Speakers to your Phone.
I can confirm that it works.
