hi
i want to buy pebble time steel . but i wanted to know how long bluetooth range will work at my house at lower floor and doors not knocked but closed and phones(bb 8520 and s4) see each other.question is that : is this right to test pebbe time bluetooth range to s4 by this way?thanks
no one can say .? bb8520 has bt 2 and my s4 has bt 4 i will use with s4 so testing with bb 8520 gives exact result or not?
Probably not, BT 2 and BT 4 LE are different, and each device is different, too.
My pebble steel usually works on the same floor and one below/above.

Yes, there is a good chance, but of course it depends on your particular phone and the building.

I am getting insanely busy with work and I am considering getting a bluetooth earpiece. I have always been against them as I find they look plain stupid on people but I guess wearing one in the office wouldnt be so bad.
Heres the thing. If I am going to wear a headset. I would want one I can use with my nexus S and my computer (which runs a mix of google talk and Skype)
Is there any that you reccomend could do this or am I dreaming?
I was looking at the Jawbone line of units but wow are they ever pricy!
Anything else thats good?
maybe u can try jabra? i think its a decent one
Mercedes Benz GLK 350. Works perfect!
I use the official Sony PS3 headset, works fine.
Just get a jabra icon and don't sweat it

Plantronics Bluetooth headset is also good, but if you don't want to use headset you can try Bluetooth speaker like the monster iclarity works just fine
Hy, for sports i use nokia bh 503, which are very comfortable. For everday usage i have nokia bh 214 paired with some old sonyericsson earbuds, best combo that i tested so far;-) And while driving i have plantronic k100. All these work without problems on ics i9023.

Me too, the second version of this headset. It is so light and comfortable.

Motorola H15 - small and able to connect to two devices at same time so I can use it with my phone and desktop at same time. Voice/Audio of course works with one device at time.

Hey guys!
So before owning an xperia z, i had the galaxy note (great phone) and i'd run my music through an AUX cable so it would come out through the car speakers (i ain't got blue-tooth in the care).
Now since I've got the xperia z, its becoming a hassle to open and close the flaps every time. So i wanna know if there is a device out there that's can act as a bridge? Xperia > device (via blue-tooth) >AUX cable > Car.
preferably the device should be small, no bigger then a pc mouse.
So yeah, if any has any info or something that's similar or better please share:fingers-crossed:
like you, i'm waiting for this
http://www.sonymobile.com/it/products/accessories/stereo-bluetooth-headset-sbh20/
There are other ones already sold in Sony Mobile but they are more expensive
Personally have been using this one.
http://www.sonymobile.com/global-en/products/accessories/mw600/
Works great. Essentially the same thing as previously mentioned. Just go for whichever is cheaper.

That's exactly what i'm talking about! Be perfect for my car!!
I actually had a different model of the MW600... but i've lost it... would of been perfect! Damn!
I'm using this in my car: http://www.avantalk.com/products02.php?id=62
It's working great to stream music from the XZ. Works also with Youtube, Digitally Imported, ...
u can use another smartphone with google music and connect it to your car
Something like this?

Or upgrade your headunit to one with integrated Bluetooth.
Some of the adapters (like the one above) do have some issues with automatic connection/reconnection when the car powers on... But that's the general type of device you're looking for, search around and check reviews.

Why not just use a speaker ?
I think a earphone is even not legal in some countries ...

I have the MW600 (came with my wife´s SonyEricsson phone some years ago), and works perfectly apart from it does not work with the micro USB charger cable attached.
You need to charge it, then disconnect it from the charger to use it. Would be perfect if would work with the charger cable in and would power on with the charger plugged in (read, ignition on).
My note 5 has awful Bluetooth reception. I need to know if it's just me or if anyone else has this issue.
Thanks
I'mean not sure if your talking about the connection with a car or headset, but I only use a headset and my connection is fine. I use the Plantronics voyager edge.
Works well in my car

So you have good reception? Every Bluetooth device I use cuts off when I cover my note with my hand or in my pocket. I have the bluebuds x
Mine was cutting in & out while connected to a bt device and had WiFi on. It stopped doing it though. I was about to take it back and get a new one
Has much better connection than my Nexus 6. Not as good as iPhone though. My iPhone 4s and iPhone 5 were the only phones that didn't cut out on my cars bluetooth and my motorola headsets I had at the time.

Yes, I have good reception. I'm on my phone a lot during work because we have so many useless meetings where other people love to talk, and I haven't had issues.

Good to know, thanks!
Bluetooth 4.1 works better with wifi. Good luck finding audio devices that use it though. Probably easier to shut off your 2.4ghz and connect just at 5.
Might be a bit late here. I've noticed how bad my Bluetooth connection seems to be from the earbuds AND speaker I got for Christmas. My Gear S2 I noticed on a bit but more passed it off as the watch depending on its WiFi more.
When I was trying the earbuds with my phone on me in bed, it was fine. However, even moving my phone to just past my waist, not even two feet away, the audio started breaking up.
Really lovely thing to find when you didn't know there was a problem after breaking your warranty :/
There are a lot of blutooth gamepads on Amazone but they're all from brands I've never heard of and look really cheap/stupid.
The only one I've seen that actually looks decent is this one:
http://8bitdo.com/nes30pro/
but this one doesn't have a phone holder, I mean how am I supposed to use this ? sit the phone flat on the table?
There's another thread for this. I am using the xiaomi bluetooth controller and you can get it for about £18. It has a rumble pack and all the buttons and the joysticks work quite well. BUt it doesn't have a phone holder.
However, you can buy something like this http://www.aliexpress.com/store/pro...for-Terios-T3-T3-PS3/1761705_32436099487.html

Humm great to know that Xiaomi has a gamepad, I guess I'll just buy one when I'm in China in a few weeks.
Which truly wireless earbuds are you using with the Note 8 and you would recommend? Looking to buy one.
Been eyeing the Beoplay E8. I am more concerned about audio fidelity (for a bluetooth device) over any other factors.

The Beoplay E8 and Apple Airpods seem to be the best for the Note 8.
very good review of a few including the two above:
the guy named Jay does a solid comparison of the E8 and Airpods on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/cr/B074WTL19N/ref=mw_dp_cr

My concern is that he is testing all these using an iPhone. With the Note 8, even the codec being used changes. That is why I am looking for actual people using the Note 8 with wireless buds.

a few Amazon reviews have the note 8 in the link I posted comparing the E8 to Airpods.

I've been using Beoplay E8's with Note 8 for the past 3 weeks and I've gotta say, I'm amazed! Audio quality is good, connection strong, and no issues so far. App lets you adjust audio and build is outstanding.
I've been using Gear Gear Iconx (2016) would love to upgrade to the 2017 model for better battery life.
I got the 2018 icon X. They can be paired with a device or even used without one. They sound good and have good touch controls.
I had the Icon X 2018, got them from B&H for $150, they were great at the beginning, but some annoynaces were like this:
1. No way to Power Off the buds without putting them back in the case, this means lots of charging/discharging the whole time.
2. Touch controls became finicky after about 2 weeks.
3. Totally subjective I know, but they hurt my ears, tried all combinations.
Back to Jaybird RUN, with latest FW Update the BT connection is rock solid, Volume is much higher than the IconX 2018, and the sound fidelity through the Jaybird App EQ settings is Superb to say the least, and I'm a musician so I know quality sound vs ... you know!
I just picked up the Blueant Pump Air.
Not bad at all and super light (4 grams)
http://www.myblueant.com/products/headphones/pumpair/
I have finally decided to pick up the E8. Once the Note 8 gets Oreo (which should be soon), i guess the lack of aptx will not matter much.
How is the audio delay when watching youtube videos with the latest firmware?
On a side note, there is Ashley Chloe's Fuse coming out soon. They have aptx and usb c charging! Would have considered them if they were to be available by mid february.
I have the Jabra elite sport and I really like them

1. They power off on their own when disconnected from blue tooth.
2. I've had them since Christmas and use them everyday. Touch controls work as good as they did when I got them. Not sure what exactly would make them "finicky" after working fine.
3. They literally have four different size pads. If you can't find a fit, then you got wonky ears lol.
Seems you quickly wrote off the IconX because you all ready had your mind made up. Which is fine, but let's be honest. The jaybird RUN is an icon X knockoff. And what's funny is I read more issues about the jaybird sounding bad and not fitting right. They even have the same pod case setup that Samsung uses. And surprise, surprise, they are just $15 less msrp than the icon X. You can tell they are trying to be the icon X. I'll just stick to the original that happens to also work seamlessly with my device. I'm also not sure what being a musician has to do with hearing sound quality, but hey, as long as you feel good about it...
I was looking at the B&O but ended up ordering the crazybaby nano off indiegogo mainly due to BT5 and future proofed.
These are shipping this month and the order is locked so have no doubt to question this date (as I am with other campaigns).
NONE OF THEM SOUND GOOD
you'd be disappointed.
i have the the bose one, bragi one

Hey, do you have issues? or really really long free and boredom time at your hands?
You criticised and analyzed every bit of word that I wrote, as if you are the master of the world, and you know everything and that you are God of technology. Grow the f up dude, I was just sharing my experience peacefully, and everyone is entitled to their own opinion.
I loved the IconX but preferred the Jaybird RUN at the end, end of story!
Let's not forget that the Truely wireless "thing" is still a new "thing" they will mature with time and provide better options than what we have now.
I have gone through a bunch of them - at the holiday -, and it was like you cannot just get all the PROS from all of them into 1 set, each had their pros and cons, like anything else.
I was expecting the Bose to be the top, but with their open-ended design, the sound was very shallow and thin, maybe it was made like this by design to provide ambiance awareness or sth., Elite Sport was great too.

Hey, I just didn't agree with you and I stated why. You are getting a bit heated over it. Relax... :thumbsup:
Could someone suggest one that won't cost me a kidney? Already sold my right kidney for Note 8. Jk but foreal nothing over $100? Now I could just search top ten earbuds for under $100. But I rather hear from someone who has the same phone as me. I've seen different results with headphones from 1 phone to a totally different phone.

Good wirefree headphones will be hard to find sub $100 since the tech is still new :/
If you are looking for good wired headphones, I'm using A-jays Five and Xiaomi Mi Headphones Pro HD and both are great for little money Jays sounds more natural and Mi sounds more bassy
