Re: Best Bluetooth/ wireless Earbuds/ Headsets/ Headphones

This is a most comprehensive list of BT accessories: http://www.a2dp.info/A2DP-Headsets.html

Found another one: BackBeat 906 Bluetooth wireless stereo headphones
I hope it helps

Re: Best Bluetooth/ wireless Earbuds/ Headsets/ Headphones

Ok, I just got the 903 - basically the same thing but without a bluetooth transmitter (for non bt enabled devices)
The headset is very light and confortable but also stable and won't fall out of your ears.
All the buttons are working as far as I tested so AVCRP is fully working.

I do have a question though:

Has someone tried to charge his 903/906 with the charger from N900 or USB?
thanks :)
EDIT: seems to work fine both ways

And for those of you who are comfortable with silicon earbuds (even those that came with N900 fall out of my ear) I found this:
Sony's HBH-HS800

I wonder if the 505 solves that issue by placing the antenna near the ear or better yet, implementing diversity..

do you mean the headset is completely useless outdoors or just some problems when used outdoors coz I've just bought one couple days ago on ebay..

EDIT: nevermind I got the answer in this same thread :D

Why don't you use the clip on BH-214 to hang them? Another idea - I am considering buying a neck-strap earphones (like Philips SHE9600 or Panasonic HNJ200). That way you got quality earbuds and necklace in one.
I am also using BH-214 with my N900 - very happy. Good sound and ease of use, convenient. All AVRCP controls work as supposed.
If only there can be added auto answer to Maemo5 when headset connected...

I honestly believe the testers they had either serious hearing damage, or listened to the most compressed, hissy pop songs they could find. Yes, they were in A2DP mode. Yes they used a large A2DP bit depth. They were massively spiked in the 200-400hz region, with no deep bass (<100hz) and muddied mids. The highs were completely missing. It wasn't a personal preference thing; it's not that I didn't just dislike the bass-heavy sound signature. They were simply not well engineered. Drivers were aimed improperly, and offered all sorts of strange harmonics and standing waves (particular in the midbass, which makes me wonder if the engineers were just deaf and tuned accordingly).

I think you must have had an unlucky run-in with DRBT50's. Mine sound good, I woudn't say they're superb because I would prefer them to be a tiny bit more bassier however the mids and highs are nice. I must add that alot of other people who've reviewed them have also said that they're definately above the average pair of bluetooth headphones.

What device did you try them with? It can make a big difference.

Aside from that, tell me more about the Sennheiser PXC310BT's! What makes them so great? I want to upgrade from my DRBT50's

I'm no fan of their signature (in fact I detest all things Sony, except their professional stuff), but even they aren't capable of producing what I received.

I actually cracked the cases open to see what was going on in there, and everything looked legit - drivers were physically well constructed of high quality materials. Nevertheless, I ripped them out and installed some KSC-75 drivers from a spare set, aimed them properly, and installed proper insulation foam. They sound excellent now.... more as I would have expected.

I don't actually have the Sennheisers myself, and I'm also looking for more BT headphones. I ordered the Backbeat 903's but they were defective and I'm waiting on a DOA replacement. I've got the S9HD, which, like the S9 is great except for the antenna placement.. and their stupid SRS-WOW garbage. It sounds like intentionally introduced phase distortion, and midband stereo compression. I don't understand how people could find it pleasant. :confused: Luckily you can turn it off.

I'm starting to think the only answer is a BT receiver and a decent set of wired IEMs.

I tell ya.. there's a hell of a market opportunity for anyone out there willing to hire an audio engineer with a scope. :)

Re: Best Bluetooth/ wireless Earbuds/ Headsets/ Headphones

Has anyone ever tried the Sennheiser MM200?

http://www.sennheiser.com/sennheiser...e_music_502411

They're still going for about $150 to $200. Buy.com has them for $150.

I think it's been out a while already but I read reviews that they're quite good with regards to sound quality. I believe there are some reviews on Amazon.com.

I've been thinking of getting some stereo bluetooth headsets for travelling and such. Especially now that I have the OtterBox for my N900, it's harder for me to use the corded ones. Plus, wire freedom is nice!

Re: Best Bluetooth/ wireless Earbuds/ Headsets/ Headphones

I use this and any earphones I want. Works great.
