What do you raccomend?
i need something not so expensive that uses the hands free and the wireless stereo services
/edit: sorry i missed section...
If you're talking wireless headphones, I'd get some motorola ht820's.
They can be used to listen to your music, AND answer calls with their built-in mic.
Here's a pic: http://www.welectronics.com/Bluetooth/motorola_ht820.jpg
You can get these for about £20 online.
But if you're just after handsfree, I'd recommend the Bluetrek G2. Nice looking earpiece.

Slightly more pricey, expect to pay about £20 - £27 for this.
EDIT: Oh and for the record, with the Motorola's I managed to get about 30 meters (YES! Thirty meters!) away from my phone before they started to lose signal. I was amazed! I was messing in my office and couldn't believe it.. They've got a brillian battery life (I've had about 21 hours use, full volume , so far and they're still going strong!). They've also never lost signal/cut out (apart from when i did my experiment above ). And the quality is as good as wired.
yes but it's 100+ euros the motorola one!
i think i'll go for the bluetrek...are you sure that supports both hands free and wireless stereo?

No, as I said it's just hands free...
Regarding the price of the motorola ht820's, where is it you are searching for them? Here's a list where they're selling for no more than £30 (39.6661 EUR)...

I just got the Jabra 3030 this week and it works great, the sound is excelent

what about LevelOne BLH-1200
http://global.level1.com/products2.php?Id=783
I have it and works perfect so far
Also if you have your own 3,5 mm jack headphones, you can try Philips SHB7100
http://www.consumer.philips.com/con..._CONSUMER/Bluetooth-Stereo-Headset+SHB7100-05
Get the Jabra BT 8040. Has a Stereo A2DP option and sounds pretty good.
I'm digging my new Plantronics Voyager 855. Sounds pretty good so far and does both mono and stereo A2DP. My previous headset was a Moto H700 which did not play well with my Tilt.
Plantronics 655 was terrible for the Kaiser.. hope the 855 is better
Plantronics voyager 855 for Tilt
Does the earpiece play the ringtone in your ear
Found the Motorola one at 25 GBPs!
(and bought )
Has anyone tried the above mentioned devices with MS Voice Command? If so, how well did it work? I'm particularly interested in the Plantronics 855 and Jabra 8040.
I use the Jabra BT8010 and it works and sounds great.
Which ROM and radio do you have? I have also BT8010 but the quality is not good...
I'm using Dutty's DialTouch v2 and Radio Version 1.27.12.17
Can anyone confirm that the Plantronics 855 works well with Voice Command and Dutty's 6.1 rom?
I'm very unsettled between this two models:
OEM Plantronics Voyager 855 Stereo Bluetooth Headset
JABRA BT8040
which do you recommend?
I have the Motorola S9's and they work absolutely amazing. Not one complain about them..slick design, clear and loud music, and everything you'd want in wireless headphones.
BT Headset
Why don't I see the HTC Bluetooth mentioned.
I find the quality very good and hooks up with WM 5, 6 and 6.1 perfectly.
This headset uses A2DP for stereo and the advantage is that it's small and can take any pair of earphones you wish with a 3.5mm stereo jack.
The battery life is excellent and uses the same charger as the TyTN/TyTN II.
The range is approx. 10 m+ in an unhindered situation.
The model is the BH S100.
Hey guys,
I am looking for a good, reasonably sound proof handsfree kit for my HD2.
Either bluetooth or corded is fine. It needs to have reasonably sound proof headphones, to block out most external noise (my old X1 had amazing handsfree headphones, but my girlfriend has those now).
A handsfree kit with a mic near the mouth would be very handy also. I walk around a lot, so there is often a lot of traffic noise.
If anyone could give me suggestions of kits they have tried, it would be awesome!
I don't have a massive budget sadly. £30-£50 max.
Thanks in advance guys, I look forward to your suggestions

Hello Madindehead,
You might look at these. I do not have them but, have only good things to say about other Sennheiser products I do own. Maybe someone that does have them can comment.
Sennheiser MM200 bluetooth stereo headset, cell phone headset
My plan is this setup for once I get my hands on a USA T-Mobile HD2:
In Ear Monitors: Sennheiser IE 8
Bluetooth,Mic,Volume/Music controls: Sony Ericsson MW-600
I will not use the Sony Headphones that come with the MW-600. It has a 3.5mm Jack so I can use my IE8's
Thank you,
Monnie
I just bought an MM200 - but hadn't seen that MW600 - that looks great.... might change it...
The MM 200 is sadly far too expensive for me. But looks very nice.
I hope the MW-600 has a short and long headphone. Certainly allows you to get the mic closer to your mouth that way.
Bought myself a Plantronics Pulsar 260 for £30 off eBay for now. Will see what it's like, and report back.
I recommended to you 100% my new handsfree,Sony MDR-EX38iP,this is in ear corded handsfree with micriophone,I buit then yesterday in MediaMark,around 55 euros,are cheaper in Amazon, and I am very satisfaced with them,is designed for Iphone,but works well with HD2,you can pause musik and answer incomings call,but the only is that you can not control the volume or change tracks,but I think that some tweaks maybe can fix this,but the most important is the sound,and is very good,the bass is powerfull and deep and the higher tones are very good to,I could not found any bether than this for this price!!!
http://www.amazon.com/Sony-MDREX38iP-BLK-Earbud-Control/dp/B002M78JA2
I am currently using some headphones from my Sony Walkman which are really good quality. Obviously, they don't do the call features. The included headset for the HD7 are obviously crap.
What would you recommend for me for the HD7 to:
* restrict noise leakage (I find the buds are best for this)
* make/accept calls
I notice Sennheiser do iPhone kit. The HD7 is obviously pretty new and will not likely get the attention from the better headphone makers. What's the compatibility like between smartphones? Are iPhone/other phone headsets compatible?
I would prefer wired, but if Bluetooth provides the better functionality/sound then I'll consider those.
Thanks.
I use Plantronics Voyager Pro Plus. It's a BT headset and one of the best I have used. You can get the one without the plus for a lower price.
The plus is A2DP enabled. I got a good deal on Amazon.com during the holidays.
I would definitely recommend this BT Headset. Very comfortable and very functional.

Thanks. Although I should have made it clear I need this for music, so it needs to be stereo.
I personally use two headphones, though I'm not too sure this would suit your needs, I either carry a pair of earbuds or my Bose headphones, and then a Blueant Q2 for talk... I know it could be a pain... Also, try using the sound enhancer app from HTC
Thank you all.
In the end, I think these are probably my best bet. They supposedly work on Android, so similar may get similar operation on WP7?
Sennheiser MM 70i Headset with Smart Remote and Mic to Control iPhone
There was a link here to the product.
Because of your forum rules, I cannot post the link to the earphones. Apparently after 8 posts I can do, so maybe i should create 5 or more posts with pointless content in just so I can paste a link? This helps nobody.
Any experience with these?
Plantronics 903 Backbeat! Love it. I use it at work to listen to stuff on my pc and phone connected to take calls or listen to music on my phone while I'm out of the office. Sounds really good and the most comfortable set of bluetooth STEREO headphones I've used.

Thanks for your help. I've taken a punt based on your response and some fairly positive reviews. My only worry is the sound quality, but let's see. I'll be sure to let you know!
I am also in the same boat as you guys. The headphones with HD7 are bad, so I am turning to SE for help.
Here is what I might buy:
1. SE HPM 88
2. MH 710
3. MH 700 OR
4. HPM 77
In India, we don't get the ones with the mic. We only get headphones. I SO SO REGRET GIVING AWAY My X1 heaphones... DAYUM!!! WISH I COULD turn back time.
I bought the Plantronics set and am quite impressed. Have some sound quality/comfort issues but other than that, a great set.
I was asked to blog about it by a local TelCo:

Hello !
I am searching for bluetooth headsets for my hTC HD2 !
I have the Motorola S9 HD but i'ld like to change
I am thinking about getting a Jaybird Sportsband 2 (
For the same price, is there something better ?
Thanks
of all the headsets i have had....about 15 in the last 2 years. this is due to the fact that i lose and break them very often because of my job; i would say the one i'm using right now is pretty good, it is the samsung WEP475.
pretty good audio
the other person can hear you very well, even in a 13L 425hp diesel!
and it is very loud, so having it on the low volume setting is a good idea (this is due to our phones i think though)
for me i just need something that works good, and is cheap. spending 100-200 on a bluetooth headset and loosing it 3 days later seems stupid to me.
on a side note the shortest timei have ever had a headset for is 2hrs before i ran it over with 100,000lbs!
try this mate!
months ago I started a thread (after many searches on this site about a good stereo bluetooth headset)
I restricted my choices onto 2 stereo headset and in the end I bought the SE MW600 ...
You can read the posts here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=713693
Mate, I really recommend this bluetooth headset to everyone ... long lasting battery, astonishing audio (like if you are listening music through a good mp3 player), voice commands, info on the led display (sometimes ...not everytime ... also the name of the caller), comfortable buttons-commands, etc ...
Regards
Is Bluetooth not universal?
Thanks for answering
What can you guys tell me about the Sennheiser HD 448 ?
Should I buy it ?
I use the Avantalk jogger. It is really light, has a very long running time and is not too expensive. Only the bass is too quiet!
I use the jabra extreme. Out supports a2dp and has place call function, redial, 2 mics to reduce background noise, good quality stereo sound in one speaker. Best buy has them for 80US.

I have used a Jabra BT8010 for years with my iPhone 3G and then my HTC HD2. Recently, I replaced it with the Samsung HM3500 and it works great, too. You can purchase the HM3500 on Ebay: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=280679860257
I bought mine from this person and it is excellent. It cost $27 and free shipping.
The new model is the HM3700 that T-Mobile is selling for $70. I didn't like the HM3700 because it did not have the big button on the side to answer a call.
The only thing I do not like about the HM3x00 is that it does not fit into my ear and thus sticks out about an inch from my face. I do like the ear bugs for the stero. Hope this helps anyone looking at this posting.
There is only one Bluetooth hands-free and it's called Jawbone:
jawbone.com
Everything else is a compromise.
until today i have never need a headset
Does anyone have recommendations for the best headset for voice calling? People say I sound like I'm underwater and too muffled when I use my Samsung oem headset, apple earpods, or ultimate ears headset. I sound perfectly fine when speaking directly into the phone.
Thanks!

Plantronics Legend by far hands down
Motorola H19txt for something discreet.
Parrot Vxi+ if you need something industrial grade and don't care what it looks like.
if you are talking Bluetooth, then Its the bose bt2, hands down...
I have been through 7+ headsets in the last 3 years and just recently bought the plantronics M165.
Simply the best one I have owned to date. Clear. Excellent noise reduction. Super light.

Groupon have Jawbone Icon HD refurb for 30 bucks, great reviews
Thanks for all the suggestions. I'll check out everything.
I've probably been through 20 wired and bluetooth headsets over the years. The best was from theboom, but they stopped working well when I started using the galaxy s2
I bought the jawbone deal just because it's cheap. I'll compare against the plantronics voyager I already have. The bose is tempting since it seems like the only headset on Amazon that has generally good reviews.
Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda app-developers app
the voyager is probably the second best headset behind the bose; its just kinda big and bulky with that boom, and if you wear it all day, it feels heavy on your ear, where the Bose is almost non existent on your ear after a few hours.
the jawbone was good in its day, but its no where near the best now a days, but hey, for 30 bucks, why not!
and, I have had EVERY Bt headset ever made in the last 10 years or so...
If you want a real treat, grab the Jaybird bluebuds; expensive, stereo, and the absolute best sound for music, and not bad for phone calls either!
i'm using samsung hm1100 bluetooth
I have the Jawbone Era. It's worked well for me. I haven't had complaints while using it by the person on the other end.
CNet as of Feb 4, 2013, currently lists the top 5 BT headsets: Plantronics Voyager Legend, Jawbone Era, Jabra SUPREME UC MS Headset, BlueAnt Q2 Smart Bluetooth Headset, and Jawbone Icon HD. You would just have to read to see which may fit your needs and wants best.
I will say, the Era is definitely on the pricey side. I got mine on sale for half off and was a good value at that price. Before that, I had a Jawbone 2 for years and worked well through BlackBerry Curve, Evo 4G, and to the GN2. Thus in my opinion, I think they make a good products. I read very good things about Plantronics over the years, which should give good value for you as well.
I alternate between the Plantronics Voyager Pro + and the Jawbone Era. I like the voice customization options on the Jawbone but I prefer the overall sound quality in the Voyager.

Cnet doesn't update their ratings with current models...they don't have the bose bt2 in their top 5?
I've had 4 of those headsets in their "top 5", and only the Plantronics voyager comes close..
I'm a headhunter and thus work on the phone for a living. There isn't a bluetooth headset made without a boom mic that wont sound like you are on a speaker phone. The best ones are found at truckstops. They are the ones truckers buy but they have a big boom and your voice is super clear.
That being said, the main problem is with bluetooth itself. Using digital phones your voice is already being given a mechanical tinny sound. Add to that another layer of processing with bluetooth and it only gets worse. For those old guys like me who remember the days of analog cell phones where you sounded like a human you know what I mean.
So, if you are working in an office get either a wired or bluetooth headset (wired better) with a boom mic. For walking or driving around any of these suggested would work well.
does ayone know ifit's worth the extra money togo with the higher end devices??? like the Plantronics Voyager Legend UC B235, Plantronics Voyager Pro HD, or the jawbone era, or the Bose 2 series??? if i am gonna spend the money for one, i would pay the extra price to get a good one...

I'm using the Monster LiveStrong and Monster iSport, they are the same just with different color. and it sounds great.
I'm a huge fan of the blueparrot bx250-xt. It's big and ugly but it's awesome. I've had the windows down at 75mph and no one can tell. It's the only bt that's had a speaker loud enough for me. I'm a truck driver and no one can tell if I'm driving or not.

Plantronics Voyager Pro HD GTN-7100 Call Disconnects
Cannot recommend Voyager Pro HD as Plantronics Voyager Pro HD GTN-7100 Call Disconnects. I have gone back to cheaper Jabra Easycall (but it does not have mute function). This problem is not just related to the Note II and is not just related to Voyager Pro HD - other phone and headset combinations have reports of call disconnect e.g. Jabra Wave has Galaxy Note II GT-N7100 bluetooth problem during call

Bose 2 bt is the BEST, followed closely by Votager Pro HD, and YES, if you need to be on a bluetooth all day, then a premium headset works a million times better than the cheapos, as far as sound, comfort, and every other way...only 4-5 hours of talk time on the bose, and almost 8 with the voyager..
I've owned at least 50 BT headsets in my life, so I am pretty well versed on this subject..
