Best earphones for TyTN II - MP3 Playback

Hi All,
I bought HTC Tytn II recently... It's rock.....
But i am very disappointed with the earphone quality of HTC... No Bass at all.... I am not saying mp3 playing quality is bad... I tried my motorola BT stereo headset and it gave me fantastic output with heavy bass..... So the quality of my HTC earphone is bad...
I found several earphones on HTC website.... can you please help me to find out an excellent HTC earphone which can give full Bassy effects.... or any other brand which haves mini usb port...... Dont want converters please.......
Thanks.

Why not? You are unlikely to find a decent pair of USB earphones IMHO.
I'd get a small adapter and buy some sure earphones for the best possible sound.

don't mean to hijack the thread but can anybody recommend a good bluetooth stereo headset? i want one that will be good with music and also allow me to make calls.
I am particularly looking for an in ear type earphone or a unit that allows me to use my own ear buds.

I've got the i-Tech Clip Radio (http://www.expansys.com/p.aspx?i=145553). Works well with the kaiser, got play/pause, next/prev, volume, and call buttons, bulit in FM radio, and allows you to plug your own earphones in as it has a 3.5 jack.

How is this unit for bass?
Also it looks just like the htc S100, did HTC rebrand it?

I listen to alot of dance music, and with Sony's EX-71s it does me fine!
Yeh, the S100 is HTC's rebranded version of the non FM radio version!

I also have the iTech clip (excellent unit with medium audio quality) as it can handle calls and lets you use any 3.5mm jack units you have but you have loads of cables about (use my B&O earbuds on that).
For genaral use and if I want to anser a call I use the Promate PM-2006 BT stereo headset as it is a halfway sized headphone with good audio quality and in call holding.
But for sheer audio enjoyment, I use my Creative CB2530, absolute bliss and can put most Hi-Fi's to shame.
SOZ, probably not what the thread starter asked for but WHO is gonna produce a GOOD set of headphones terminated in a mini usb? You will need the converter or BT (no converter at all!)
Every BT unit I have works seamlessly, no clicks, no splutters, no bad audio with my 'out of the box' non-carrier HTC TyTnII.
Damn, its either the beer or I should have been a salesman! Smiles.

There aren't any "best" headphones without using an adapter. If you want the best you'll need to spend you're looking at the Shure SE530 or go custom which is around $1000. It all depends on your budget.

ive got the Shure e4c's connected through an adapter and i can say you can't get better sound.. its so crystal clear, it sounds better than live people in front of you talking

ok, I've something else to add.....well asK
Is there any bluetooth stereo heaphones (with very good sound quality but aren't humongous so as to make me look like a Martian ) that can pair with two devices at once?
For example, I have two phones which support A2DP and I use one as my music phone (Nokia N93i) but also use the TYTN 2 as my business phone. What I want is to be listening to my Nokia N93i through the earphones, and If my TYTN 2 rings, the music pauses so I can speak to the caller on the TYTN 2 then revert back to listening to music back on the N93i.....
.....is this even possible?

Well yes to the pairing to two sperate devices, and no to the 'very good sound quality but aren't humongous'. The Promate PM-2006 headset is a 'medium' sized' 'medium to good quality' folding headset with mike. Pair it to both units then disable the function you don't want it to do on whichever phone (under BT settings). It will halt audio and answer the call from the other unit. These headphones were primarily developed to use with a BT mp3 players with capability to connect to your mobile phone but WM phones do both!

Look at the Jabra BT8010. They're a little large, but have the advantage of using it in mono or stereo mode, as well as connecting to 2 devices simultaneously.

Incidentally, Seidio makes earphones that end in the proprietary htc mini-usb format. Haven't tested them out, but they're the only other ones i know of that don't need a converter.

Another vote for iTech Clip Radio. Works awesome with my Ultimate Ears Super fi 5 Extended Bass buds.

I bought Kyocera from here: http://www.buy.com/retail/product.asp?sku=204239053&loc=111&pageFormat=20&rs=1&#cReviews
The best headphones I ever bought and have the most functionality. The only problem that some people might have is the look and size of the headphones. I have not charged the headphones for a month now and still running on standby.

has anyone tried any Sony bluetooth stereo headset?

I think it might be possible using the Sony Erickson BT Earphone Stereo set. Check FleaBay... They got them cheaper than anywhere else. ( BT phone would have to be close to you, just disable the bluetooth on N93i, however The Sony Er unit has a 3.5 jack that can be plugged into the N93i, just marry the TytnII to the bluetooth)

If you marry to phones BT to the headset, and if you get a call from one while listening to music from the other, you will hear both the caller voice and the music at the same time. Jabra is one headset that I know of that can accept two devices, however when tried, I heard the device playing music however the music volume was very low while I talked on the phone. Not a great setup but might do the trick.

Connecting to both headphone USB jack and Bluetooth speakers

Hi everyone,
I currently have a USB to 3.5mm audio adapter that I use to stream radio and listen to mp3s in the car. As Ontario is going to pass a law saying that we need to use handsfree when driving, I also need to get a handsfree device.
If I buy a bluetooth headset, and connect both the audio adapter and bluetooth device, when a call comes in, which audio input will take the call? Also, when I play mp3s, the sound will come out from which device?
Thanks for your help!

I recently got one of these off amazon in the UK, I was fed up looking like a taxi driver with a headset on.
This streams from the phone and has a mic for calls. You can also play mp3 from cds.
This Link is to the Canadian sony shop, but you might get it cheaper.

Thanks for your help, but I don't think I want to install a new car deck just so I can listen to calls on my phone. Rather spend that money somewhere else

Toyota Avalon (or other Toyotas) and Built-In Bluetooth...how to stream audio?

So, I have a new Toyota Avalon with built-in bluetooth. Was wondering if anyone knew of hacks, tricks, tweaks - software or hardware - to permit a2dp to show up when connected through bluetooth. It says HANDSFREE but doesn't show WIRELESS STEREO on my ATT TILT (stock rom).
Anyway to do this?
Also, for anyone with a Toyota and bluetooth, is there any way to get Microsoft Voice Command activated from the steering wheel? On all my external car bluetooth speakers, hitting the call button activates Voice Command. Doesn't do it with the built-in Toyota system...unless I am overlooking something.

BUMP....
Is there someone on the forum with a Toyota and bluetooth?
I am bummed about this...the only way I can stream or play audio is use the AUX jack which is fine EXCEPT it means that the phone cannot be used via the built-in blue tooth...the other party can be heard by the car microphones don't pick up my voice (presumably because the AUX connector somehow hijacks it???!!)
Any help would be appreciated.

That's what would happen if the car's BT did not support A2DP. My guess would be that your car only supports handsfree.

I'm in the same boat. I have an '07 Sienna and I have been looking for a way to connect AD2P bluetooth. So far, I'm having no luck.
I've thought about mounting my i.tech clip inside the dash to the Aux input. That means I'd have to modify the i.tech to work when power is connected. I would also have figure out a way to use the Aux port directly (with another device) if I wish. It is always something...
The '09 Toyota's support the AD2P.

works for me
so, I am in a '10 toyota. When I get into the car, it will pair up as handsfree, but does not show AD2P initially. For me at least, if I go to the BT tab on the audio screen, and press and hold the play button, it will start playing from the last playlist I was using. The steering wheel seek up seek down work to skip forward and back.
The first time I needed to initiate some music playing on the phone, and then tell the car to connect bluetooth through the BT tab on the audio menu, I think it hides the AD2P unless the phone requests it, and treats it separately from the handsfree connection.
I wish you luck- for short trips, it is great to be able to just sit down in the car, and have the radio play my mp3s without having to muck with my phone or cables.

in car hands free for Diamond

I bought a connection for my diamond to connect to the aux input of my car stereo sort of hoping that it would work by allowing me to use the car speakers to speak & listen from phone, listening was not a problem, crystal clear but the person on the other end could not hear me. Is there an easy way to get this sorted? My stereo does not have bluetooth.

Depends on what sort of "connection" you have bought and how it works. Is it meant to be a handsfree unit, in which case it should come with its own microphone?
Or is it a USB type headset lead unit that is only meant to be used as a means of playing music via the car stereo, in which case you probably can't attach a microphone and can't use it as a handfree unit.
The way to sort it is to buy a bluetooth handsfree unit complete with microphone. These communicate with your phone using bluetooth and can either have their own amp and speaker or be wired into your car audio (usually via the phone facility in the DIN connector on the back of the car unit).
If you want to use for both phone calls and listening music it is best to get one that supports multiple Bluetooth profiles, including handsfree and A2DP.

2 BT Devices at once???

I have bluetooth in my SUV (Mopar's uConnect Dodge Nitro 2008), and I am looking into getting a bluetooth device like this (Link or Link) and I was wondering if the hero will connect to both the audio gateway and car kit? I know the iPhone and iPod(3G) will do this so I'm thinking there is hope for the hero.
Does anyone have either of these devices or something similar, any cheap places?
Thanks!!!

I tried this in my 08 G37 since the built in OEM BT does not do A2DP, this was on the original 1.5 ROM using Kensington A2DP adapter with Remote. I could get both to pair and connect but the audio would not work on phone calls once the music was playing. I need to give it a try with the 2.1 software but I am not too optimistic since the 2.1 implementation is buggy as well. I ended up getting a $2 HTC adapter/splitter that connects both audio and charger with one connector. I think you would still have to connect the charger when using BT since it wears the battery down so this is not much different.
This is the adapter I have, the cool thing about this one is that you can stick the remote anywhere in the car.
Kensington LiquidAUX Bluetooth Car Kit with Remote for Music Phones (this is actually a hands free system as well so maybe it was taking over the call audio even with handsfree profile disabled in settings)

I have an Aux jack for my car stereo, so I just run a 3.5mm male-to-male cable for audio. I use my BT for hands-free calling. If I'm using my phone for music, it's plugged in anyway, so one more cable isn't going to hurt anything.

wtf are you talking about? that's a direct line out from the sound card on the phone? blue-tooth would be the lower quality audio. wire>wireless ALWAYS no if ands or buts. copper is a million times better conductor than air.

Actually BT audio is digital and 3.5mm is analog. Digital is better than analog any day of the week. Plus with it being digital it doesn't really matter that it is wireless, as long as you are within proper range the transferred 1s & 0s are identical wired or wireless.

Digital is not always better plus it ends up analog in the end. With A2DP you are adding a second variable encode/decode to the mix, this process in case of already compressed MP3s or streaming audio degrades the original quality a second time. The only reason you would not notice is because of crappy audio equipment or ears

Audio over Bluetooth still does NOT compare to wired.
Read some reviews sometimes. All of the current BT headsets do not come anywhere close to audio transmitted over a wire.

So what was the verdict on 2 BT devices at once? In my situation I'd be looking at having it connected to my car via Ford's Sync system, as well as a BT OBD-II adapter like this:

Haha... I'm too chicken to waste money on it. No idea! I have less than a year left with this phone so I'm just going to wait.
