Recommendations for Bluetooth headphones?

Does anyone have a recommendation for a good set of Bluetooth stereo headphones?  I am looking mainly to listen to music and watch videos but would make an occasional call with them. I purchased the Plantronics backbeat and while the sound quality is fine they just don't get loud enough. I have read similar complaints about the Jaybird freedom.  Any suggestions?
Thanks

yup.. this was added to Leopard 10.5... 10.5 is REALLY flaky though (all around, not bluetoothwise)... 10.5.2 is what you need.
but with 10.5.2 installed i use the Motorola MOTOROKR™ S9 with a Belkin USB bluetooth adapter (class 1 so get 300 ft range)... works really well... good for exercise 'cause they are light and they stay in your ears securely and can take sweat etc and they are sound isolating and have two sizes of in ear thingies for different sized ears.
plus have Advanced Audio Distribution Profile (A2DP) and Audio Video Remote Control Profile (AVRCP). AVRCP lets you control iTunes and volume from the head phones... back, forward, play, pause, volume up and down.. they are really cool and work perfectly.

  • Recommendations for Bluetooth GPS for N95

    Has anyone got any recommendations for a Bluetooth GPS receiver (to improve the dire performance of the inbuilt one) available in UK?

    I bought the Nokia N95 8GB for its 'all in one device 'convenience.
    I bought an external Bluetooth GPS, not because the inernal was no good, or not accurate enough but because I did not want to destroy it with vibration and rain, strapped to the handlebars of my Yamaha XT225
    I want to create tracks (kml?)that map out the roads, lanes and footpaths of Cebu, Philippines using my Motorbike, in places the car could not go.
    I decided on the Wintec G-Rays2 (WBT-201). This is more than just a Bluetooth GPS, as it has a 'logger' function also (collecting up to 131,072 waypoints). It is also much quicker at acquisition than the internal GPS (34 seconds or if data is still in memory 4-33 sec).
    Even in a car, the WBT-201 G-Rays2 unit, can be positioned on the dash, whilst from anywhere in the car, the N95 receives the NMEA0183 format data stream giving position, speed, altitude and time, together with estimated error and satellite status.
    'Sports Tracker' works very well with this for receiving the data stream 'live'. Once 'captured' it has many 'export' formats of the captured information. Test 'Tracks' of the same 'Route' using the internal GPS and another time the WBT-201, show the external unit to be more accurate. Having said that, the internal GPS is actually pretty good at capturing the same track.
    The only real 'negative' of the WBT-201, is the 'TMXTool' software (for configuring the settings, on the go, rather than connected to a PC), is for PPC, and not S60. However the 'TimeMachineX' software is OK for 'Windows' use.

  • Recommendations for non-headphone microphones for the 6th generation Nano?

    Does anyone have recommendations for a microphone for the 6th generation nano that is NOT part of a headphone set? (Think of things like the older third-party products for past nanos or ipods).
    Thank you!

    Here is a good one.

  • Why no support for bluetooth headphones

    Why is there no real support on the Iphone 3GS for the BT headphones that Apple sells. No next/previous except voice which is not something really usable. I know that every other phone out there can and does support these functions. So how do we get it to work on the 3GS?

    Because that's the decision Apple have made. No one here is going to have any more definitive insight into their reasoning than you do.
    So how do we get it to work on the 3GS?
    You don't. Apple would need to add this functionality into a future firmware update. It's not something you can add yourself.
    Some people have said that the reason Apple haven't included full Bluetooth remote control functionality is that it would allow other devices to work with the iPhone fully without using the dock connector, which companies need to pay a license to Apple to use. I have no idea whether that is true.
    You can send feedback to Apple directly here: http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html

  • Need recommendation for Bluetooth unlock

    I have a Droid Razr HD and I use an automatic screen lock that activates within a few minutes of nonuse. It's a pin screen. It works fine, but is a pain when I am in the car and wanting to make a bluetooth call. I have to physically unlock the screen first before making a bluetooth call, otherwise the call can't be placed.
    I have heard that there are apps that will recognize an attempt to place a bluetooth call and will automatically unlock the screen so that the call can be placed. Does anyone know of such apps?

  • Need recommendations for bluetooth headset/ear piece

    What bluetooth head set/ear piece is best and compatible with iPhone?
    Thanks

    I've used several, and landed on the Plantronics 655. I think a newer version is out now (the 665, I think). The headset is small and sounds great, it comes with several different earpieces to suit the size of your ear canal, the recharging options are good, and it has a good battery life.
    I just started using a Aliph Jawbone, and so far it's very very good, too. I've heard very good reviews for it from others.
    P.S. I've used both with the iPhone, no problems.

  • Bluetooth headphones for iPad/iPod Touch

    I'm looking for recommendations for BT headphones that are guaranteed to work with both the iPad and Touch. I realize that I'll probably give up some fidelity but since I primarily use my Touch (and in the future, an iPad) for podcasts and videos, I'm fine with this. My primary goal is to lose the cord.
    Thanks in advance for any feedback - preferably, first hand experiences.

    I have the motorola S9. Works great through the whole house. Listening to them right now as I type. Odd, I can hear the click of the keyboard through the headphones.

  • Bluetooth headphones and the (Intel) iMac

    I want to buy a set of Bluetooth wireless headphones to use with my iMac (Intel) which is running OS X Lion as well as with my iPod Touch and iPad. The iMac supports Apple's wireless Bluetooth keyboard and Trackpad. Will it also support Bluetooth headphones?
    Any recommendations for those headphones?
    Many thanks!

  • Recommendations for over the ear bluetooth headphone

    Hello. Does anyone have recommendations for over the ear bluetooth headphones to be used for my Mac Pro? Thanks!

    I recently got a set of Insignia NS-BTHDP I am quite happy with. They synced up no problem with the internal bluetooth and work nicely. I had an older set (Jensen WBT212) that didn't work as well but were functional that these replaced.

  • Recommended Bluetooth Headphones for 3G S?

    I have a set of Motorola HT820 stereo Bluetooth headphones on the way to me in the mail, which I'll be pairing with the 3G S I'm soon to purchase. The reviews seem to generally be good, although of course the bad reviews are particularly vocal.
    My question is this: how's your experience with pairing stereo Bluetooth headphones with your 3G S been? How's the music quality been? Have you encountered any major issues? Any excessive drain on battery life that you've been able to isolate strictly to the Bluetooth streaming as a cause?

    I would do a search of the forum. There have been a number of posts regarding Motorola stereo headsets and bluetooth paring with the iPhone. Use the search options on the right side of the screen and see what you find. That is probably your best option.

  • Bluetooth headphone recommendations?

    I am thinking of buying s 2nd generation Touch just for the bluetooth headphone capability but I am having a hard time finding a decent pair that i can use on my daily commute on the train and walking city streets.
    Any recommendations?
    Thx.

    iv been using the Altec Lansing Backbeat 906. i was considering between the jaybird jb200 and the backbeat. the bacbeat is pretty good(and cheaper), nice comfortable fit, u can use it while excercise an all. but the play/pause buttons and the microphone do not work with ipod over blutooth. and theres no option of volume control on the ipod itself when connected to the headset via blutooth. the lowest volume on the headset comes out really loud. so i end up using the bultooth adapter that came with the headset to get a comfortable volume for my ears.
    im waiting for a update to the 3.0, so i can hopefully control the headset volume off the ipod.

  • Which Bluetooth headphones are better for iPhone 4?

    Hi.
    I did a search on the forums looking for recommendations on a good pair of wireless bluetooth headphones to use with my new iPhone 4, but didn't find any thread for actual users to review or recommend brands or so...
    So, I wanted to know if do you use wireless headphones for music/video playback? Which brands/models are better in your opinion? (either with or without calling functionality).
    Thanks in advance!
    Message was edited by: Carlos Garcia1

    I've taken a look at my apple online store (Spain) and found this set:
    Altec/Lansing BackBeat 906
    They look like a nice option as well, very similar to the Motorola S9 HD, (and also a little cheaper)
    Do you guys have these Altec headphones? Any reviews and/or comments?
    Thanks!

  • Looking for a bluetooth headphone for my Macbook Air and Ipad Mini, I am not looking for a headphone that needs a transmitter to be connected to the source rather a headphone that can be connected directly via bluetooth to the source device

    I am desperately looking for a bluetooth headphone that would be compatible to my Macbook air and Ipad mini both. I am more of looking for a headphone that does not need a transmitter device to be connected to the source (in this case Macbook Air and Ipad Mini) and headphone acting as a receiver, rather need a headphone that would be connected directly via bluetooth to the source, it would be great if multiple apple devices be connected simultaneously. Please suggest some good headphones.

    Hey sorry for the late reply, I was busy to figure out alternatives as harman kardon was a difficult affair to find and acquire, but the good news is I managed to get hold of alternative.
    Sony I assume recently launched a Bluetooth headphone DR-BTN200 which is compatible to my MacBook Air , iPad mini and android phone galaxy s2 with ease, the sound quality is pretty good as compared to other brands of Bluetooth headphones I checked compatible or incompatible to apple devices alike, this is definitely what I was looking for, costed me 7990 INR, this is highly recommended for ppl who are confused, I carried my devices to the store and checked before I bought a pair and pretty much happy,
    The best part of this is its battery backup, I have used this hours for 3-5 days but this has not drain even then, but I do keep this charging once in 2-3 days just to keep this ready otherwise it does not even ask for it neither the quality of sound drops after 2-3 days of use.
    This is over the ear headphone which is very soft but it's get sweaty around the ear I guess that's bound to happen.
    Do get back to me for any other details, would be glad to share with all :)

  • Bluetooth Headphones for Sport (BH-503 or other......

    Hi there,
    I need some new headphones for my Nokia N79 and thought I might try for some wireless ones. I like the look of the Nokia NH-503 ones. They're nice looking, have nothing that hangs round your neck like there are on most wireless headphones and they look like they clip on your ear for stability when jogging or something. I looked at the compatibility list and the N79 isn't on there. I emailed Nokia who confirmed that the BH-503 is not compatible with the N79 much to my shock and awe. I find this completely ridiculous. I was pointed in the direction of several innapropriate, ugly or expensive alternatives like the 504, 103, 903 and 604.
    Does anyone know if the BH-503 is actually compatible and that Nokia just haven't tested it so are saying it isn't?
    Looks like I'll be going for some wired non-Nokia branded headphones if not, which sort of sucks, I think.
    Thanks,
    Nick.
    Nokia N79 Seal Grey

    Just in case anyone is interested, the Nokia BH-503 Bluetooth Headphone DO WORK with the Nokia N79 despite what Nokia UK have told me. I took the plunge and purchased them after being sure they should work based on the Tech Specs I've found and lo and behold they do. Amazing. They're excellent headphones and I'd highly recommend them!
