I am looking for some help. Now that I have a tablet and I am trying to find a good BT stereo headset for it. I am going to mostly use the headset for listening to my tablet for movies and doing items on my tablet where I do not want to bug my wife and others.
I am also going to want to use it with my phone when I am working out or working on items where a tablet is just too big to have around. I went to Best Buy and they stated to use the Jaybird ones. They are going to take a large chunk out of my wallet. I am trying to find what else is out there and would have good sound quality and bass for movies but can take getting all sweating in a work out.
Thank you for any help or tips on this. Just kind of stuck right now.
You can also look at getting a receiver that has a headphone jack and use the headphone of choice.

Might have to look into that. Thanks
Motorola has some water resistant ones but they are trash. Go with the jaybirds. I have several friends with them and they work great, and don't short out.
I have a Sony mw600 receiver that works pretty well. And with a standard 3.5 mm jack you can use any headset you want.
It's not as "clean" as a pure bt headset, but it's a lot more flexible. It has fm radio as well, a nice addition.
The only downside I found is the touch/pressure/whatever sensitive volume slider is a bit fiddly.
There is supposedly a newer version out, mw600s, but no idea about the changes and/or improvements.

I've used the Motorola S9 and now the S10 bluetooth stereo headsets. The S9 I sent back at least 4 times because sweat gets into the buttons and when you press up or down on them it sticks the contact and acts as if you are holding it down. I finally got out of the warranty period and found that if I put them on the airconditioner return (on the floor) for a few days they work fine. I have to say that the S10 has not had that problem. In both cases, the "in ear" nature of the S9 and S10 do not fit me well. Of course fit is highly subjective so take it for what it's worth.
The S9 had better sound to me than the S10 and was easier to control (when there wasn't sweat behind the buttons). On the S10 I have to really press the buttons hard to activate them. The pads on the end of each side on the S10 came off in the first week. They were stuck on with what is essentially double sided tape. I tried to glue one back on with super glue which just hardened the semi-soft pad into a wrinkled mess. I used a dremel with an abrasive buffer tip to smooth it down.
Finally, the soft ear tips on the S10 come off almost every time I take the headset off. Of course the headset is useless if you loose the tips...well, it works, but is pretty uncomfortable in your ears. The one good experience was that I called Motorola and they sent me a bag of the tips for free. So now I have (I think) 6 pairs, two each of each size. No hassle from customer service. I was ready to pay something, but they just sent them for free.
I'm in the market for some new stereo headphones for the gym. They must be bluetooth, take calls, and have controls on them. The problem is that it's an expensive game of hit or miss on fit and function although I can return them to BestBuy if needed.
It might seem that I'm down on the S9 and S10. In general, I like the way they fit around my neck, I just wish they would nail it instead of staying at about 80%.
Just my 2 cents.
I have a Sennheiser pxc 310, it's a very good device, but the big problem with bluetooth, movie and nexus 7, is the latency between sound and pictures.
I have the galaxy note 2 and there is no such problem, maybe the apt-x codec solve the problem.
Give the LG HBS-700 a shot. I use them for everything from work, to tv, to working out at the gym.
They sound decent and have a decent battery life.
My only gripe with them is that they slip a little when on the bench.

I'm using the LG HBS700 with So Slim Rom and the sound/video is very laggy and choppy over BT. Even when I play local files or ones over the network. I even tried watching a movie on Netflix. If I stop the video and plug in some headphones directly, it works fine. Anyone else have this problem? Might have to try a different Rom.

I have this problem on the stock ROM, if you do some searching apparently it's a common bug introduced recently.
It's pretty disappointing as I got a Jabra clip to make listening while on the treadmill easier and it's just skippy as hell.
I'm using Samsung HS-3000 stereo. It has 3.5mm audio jack which you can swap the earphone for better ones
cant go wrong with these

Thanks, they will ship these to the UK as well which saves us about £40.
I am awaiting my 3rd replacement handset from 3 UK
My first handset had an issue when using the camera to record video - despite the room being quiet the video had loud hissing on it
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VQ1xApO0wN8
My second hadset has a problem with the screen where it is not sealed correctly at the top and also a proximity sensor issue
(which I discovered this morning)
3 uk are as said sending me a third replacement handset out and have said after the 3rd handset if there is a fault it has to go to HTC for repair which isn't right and I will be fighting that (however im hoping that the 3rd is perfect)
Both handsets I have had so far have been from the batch HT338W.
I have just spoken to HTC who say they are not aware of a batch issue and explained their repair service which has a 5 day turn around
I wanted to know if you have a HTC One in Silver from the batch HT338W and want to know have you any issues with it ?
I have set up a poll ....
simply
No issues
Minor issues
Major issues - Kept Phone
Major Issues - Returned for replacement
Can you also reply back to explain what your issues are if there are any and also where you got the phone from (eg phones4u, 3 uk, Amazon etc)
I am hoping to escalate to HTC regarding this batch and would like some evidence
Thanks
I'm not sure if this is just your batch... I just tested my camera and also hear continuous loud hissing. My batch number is FA33K ...
I have a hissing noise present when I play all audio, video included, no matter how I am playing the audio (bluetooth speakers, headphones, the phones speakers, etc). Play a quietish song through decent headphones (the ones in the box?) at the lowest volume, thats when the noise is most noticeable.
Edit- Also have you tried playing the video recorded by the phone on another device?
In my opinion give it back and buy it next month.
HTC are aware of the hissing and its a software issue.

I rang them and they categorically stated that they are not. Other people on this forum have said that they have no issues with hissing, suggesting that it is a hardware issue.
This is my 4th HTC One. Also bought from 3uk. Camera issues. While having shiny white things in focus, black stripes were running over the object. For example i focused a white car. Phone made it black striped bright blue. This one however has no issues. Runs smoothly. They have to change it for you. Accept no repair bull****. Good luck!

Four is bad thought I was doing good with three replacements
Just out of curious we're they all the same batch ?
Believe me I won't be accepting a repair as I'm within 28 days I've documented all faults by picture or video
What's the serial of your perfect one ?
First 6 numbers and letters only needed
Wonder if you got a new batch ?

Waiting for my 3rd replacement from 3UK. Gaps, overhang, chips on the back on both device. First device HT32... had the hissing on video, haven't tried on the second device (HT33J).

Proximity Sensor issues
Not good

Do you have beats audio on? This causes a really loud hiss when playing back video recordings. However, when this is deselected, it causes significant reduction in hiss. I found that in this latter condition, there's comparable hiss to that found on my other phones.
Currently using: BB Z10, HTC ONE and GALAXY NOTE 2

Replaced first one without fuss, but had to wait over 2 weeks as no stock. Refused to replace the second until I sent an official complaint to HQ. Now agreed to replace but again no stock so have to wait.

Just tried the video thing in a silent room and I can hear the hissing. I think I can live with it, though.

that is not a proximity sensor issue. if the phone is on speaker then the proximity sensor won't turn on. it only turns on when you're using the handset mode to turn off the screen.

oops im bad - uploaded the wrong one thanks for noticing.
I did a video with speakers on and also off .. should have loaded the one with the speakers off
and also showed the app which tests proximity and as you will see its not budging when I cover the sensor at the top
Did work out from my note 2 that the proximity sensor only kicks in when the phone is on normal mode and not speaker mode
corrected and proper video now uploaded

No issues that I am aware of, video has good quality pictures and audio.
There does appear to be a very small gap (miniscule) at the top, between aluminium (speaker) grill and plastic that is insignificant to me.
In summary I am very happy with the build quality of my HTC One
I wish you luck.

I've got a New Potato Tunelink I've been using with my old Verizon Galaxy Nexus successfully for about a year. Since that time I've gone through several ROMs and Android versions, 4.2.1, 4.2.2 and now 4.3. Bluetooth audio always worked fine with Pandora, Google Music and Pocket Casts.
I got a Verizon Moto X yesterday and while I can pair it with the Tunelink and it plays, music skips, stutters and is unlistenable. Voices sound worse, they're low or deep and also skip and stutter.
I've Googled and found lots of "bluetooth stuttering" threads all over (like this one) but none of the things I've tried have improved the audio. I've turned off wifi, changed wifi settings, tried it with and without the battery saver turned on. I took it out of the box and set it up yesterday, I doubt a factory reset would do anything for me.
I can plug in the stereo minijack and it sounds fine but the Tunelink was supposed to stop the inconvenience of that and did, until the Moto X.
Any ideas? Anyone experiencing the same issue?
I've been using J3 Bluetooth headphones and the moto x has been performing better than my GS4 did. I can put the phone down at my gym and walk 30 feet away and it doesn't skip or degrade.
I don't think it's the phone.
Have you tries re-pairing?

Just to be clear, I have the Verizon variant of Moto X also. Have you considered trying a replacement Moto x?
Also, the Moto X is bluetooth 4.0 and the Galaxy Nexus is 3.0. Could it be that your headset doesn't play nice with 4.0?

I haven't considered a replacement yet, the fact the stores don't have them is a factor.
Good point about 3.0/4.0, the specs on the Tunelink don't specify, I'll contact them.

I have my Galaxy Nexus which works fine.
I ordered this and it should be here today to test out.
I have the same issue with a Motorola Roadster 2. Static is pretty bad when on the phone with other people.
The Kinivo BTC450 Bluetooth Hands-Free Car Kit arrived yesterday and works great. It seems to be the X with the Tunelink. I actually like the Kinivo better as it also allows phone calls and the remote/mic allows me to start/stop music and podcasts.
I also have a Tunelink and am having the same stuttering issue with the audio. Works great with my Nexus 4. Not so much with the Moto X.
+1 for the diagnosis of the Tunelink not playing nice with bluetooth 4.0
I also am experiencing issues with my Moto X and bluetooth. Something tells me it is due to the custom bluetooth 4.0 implementation that Motorola used for Android 4.2.2. I figure that the only "real" fix will be waiting for the 4.3 OTA to add official support.
I tried everything under the sun to resolve my issues. I did a factory reset, un-paired and re-paired, tested on multiple devices and even did a RMA with Verizon. I called up Motorola prior to the RMA and told them about the issue and they said that it was a defective unit. I'm planning on calling them again today to let them know they have an actual issue with at the very least the verizon moto x.
As a follow-up, while my new Bluetooth unit does not stutter and sounds great, my phone now consistently reboots itself after pairing but not until I initiate playing something.
Thankfully the phone reboots quickly.
I am going to wait till the first OTA is released and see if it resolves the issue or not.....if it still has the problem then I'll have to try a 3rd RMA.
I have LG stereo headset, jlabs crasher speaker, and an eclipse headunit and i dont' have any issues with playback. Are you just letting things play or are you messing with the device while playing music? I know on both my Moto X (vzw) and GS3 i'd get some stuttering some times if the phone was under some heavy usage.
I'm experiencing stuttering on my VZW Moto X DE with my Tunelink as well. I had stuttering on my GNex on one version of 4.2.x but all other builds worked fine and it got much better when I upgraded to 4.3, so I'm hoping a new Moto X 4.3 rom will fix this...
Add me to the list of people having the stuttering issue with the Moto X (GSM Dev Edition) and the TuneLink Auto BT unit. Frustrating as hell. I hope the KitKat upgrade fixes it.
Bump. Tunelink is stuttering for me too. Must be incompatible. My tune link is wired to the headphone jack (not using FM transmitter). Sucks.

Not tunelink related but when listening to my Moto X in car with my Alpine UTE-42BT I notice a crazy amount of skipping/stuttering. Doesn't mater what music player I use. If I turn the device off and restart it seems to fix it for a brief time.
I created a post here about my issues. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=48496071#post48496071
Anyone else having the same problems or have a solution it's driving me insane!?
apologies i forgot about this thread. i bought my TuneLink over two years ago. i emailed them and they are honoring my warranty by sending out a new revision of the device. its one they're currently working on releasing and i've been on a waiting list to get it.
so far i've sent in my current device and they sent me the same revision. i'm still waiting on the new device, which is supposed to take care of all issues. I have a Vizio soundbar at home and i have no stuttering issues. looking forward to the update.
Pretty disappointed that Hulu Plus doesn't stream in 1080p on the 2014 Moto X. Is this something that needs to be enabled on Hulu Plus' end, or is there some way to enable 1080p streaming on our end?

Nothing on Hulu streams in 1080. 720 is the max.

Thanks for the clarification about 1080p. But on the Moto X, Hulu doesn't even stream in 720p. It's clearly not streaming in HD at all. Seems like at least 720p shoukd be enabled.
I spoke with Hulu customer service yesterday. She said that they're referring the issue to their developers to work on enabling HD streaming on the Moto X and other phones.
I got some nice over the ear bluetooth 4.1 headphones today, and none of the audio from videos I watch on my phone, sync with the headphones. When I plug the headphones directly into the phone, the audio is fine. Anything bluetooth it is about a half a second to a second off.
Is there any way to fix it? They are the JBL 700 Elite headphones.

its an issue with your headphones. same thing happens with Beats. for some reason watching video using BT creates a audio sync issue... but its not on every headphones.
I don't have any issues with the BT in my car or with my BT headphones. I'm using Samsungs Level U Pro headphones for when I'm at the gym, and they work perfectly, so maybe its your phone that is having the issue?

I have LG HBS-730 that I use at work (listen to music, "watch" videos, take calls, etc.) and tested against a number of locally stored (on SD card) video files ranging from low-bandwidth copies of amateur mountain bike videos, to DVD rips of movies (like 5th Element), to a couple 4K video samples. Also tried couple youtube (Danny McAskill Imaginate, some Red Bull Rampage stuff, and one cat video). No apparent sync issues.
Not saying others don't have issues, but it doesn't seem unilaterally broken to me.
