Does the Nexus support A2DP? - Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I was looking at bluetooth headphones and found a pair that I really like, but I forgot to check if the Nexus supports A2DP. Can somebody please confirm this for me?

Yes it does, I use my motorola s509 (I think that's the model number) all the type at the gym

Thanks, I was actually looking at a pair of moto ones. How is the quality? (and I think you got the model number wrong =p)

Well, I use a Motorola S9 & a Jabra BT620s for A2DP/AVRCP streaming... works like a charm and the stream quality is as good as it gets (frankly, it's sounds better than A2DP/AVRCP streaming from my PC)...

my older Sony DR-BT21G bluetooth headphones work great with the nexus and A2DP

Anyone else have problems with the sound cutting out a lot? I use motorolla s9's on my N1, but when I'm active they seem to cut out alot.

Earphones/Headphones With Mic

Does anyone know of any earphones/headphones with a mic that work with the DROID Incredible (or android 2.1 phones in general)? I dont care really about the controls, just the mic.

I believe the Nexus One comes with headphones that do this, but not certain
I have the Holua Skull candy earphones that have a mic and they work really well. The button press will play/pause and answer and hangup calls. Nothing really special other than that.
I am using the set that came with my wife's blackberry (that I just replaced for her with an Incredible) and they work fine with both calls and audio playback. I am not sure that you need any special brand to get to work with your phone.
I just picked up a random $20 set of in-ears with a mic from microcenter, they're marketed for iphone, but worked out of the box.
I think I'm going to buy the Nixon Whip Mic headphones.
I have bought in ear type of headphones from the VZW store that have worked int he past. Too bad I broke them. I stepped up to a bluetooth headset.
I'm using the set from my iPhone until I decide if I will buy the Bose or something else.
has anyone tried the psp go headphones? they work really well on my tp2!
I tried to talk on the phone with a standard set of headphone (no mic) and it worked just fine--the phone uses its mic for calling if no mic is plugged in. YAY.
I'm using the iPhone headphones which work just fine

Im using the moto S-9 stereo bt headphones. Calls sound good and everyone says I come in clear too. A2DP is sweet too for trance/techno and podcasts

I bought them for my Blackberry, I use them for my Droid, my Ipod, for everything.
I use the Motorola S9-HD bluetooth headset.
To me they work great, but the call button does not work correctly with the incredible.
All phones, at least the ones I've used works with the mic and the answer/call/pause/skip/prev/ button. I think that is just a common thing in every chipset of phones or something
South-Wing Bluetooth headset works...
I'm using the SA505 and the sound is terrific + it provides lots of control.
I'd be happy to recommend the MEElectronics AI-M9Ps that I brought for a mere $23.99. Great quality and sound for a decent price. One of the reviews here pretty much nails it:

Bluetooth handsfree. What do you use?

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!

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.

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.

Get the LG Tone+ HBS-730, search on amazon (I can't post links yet.). I have the first generation of the LG Tone HBS-700 the sound quality is alright if you aren't an audiophile. I've read that the sound quality is better in the 730s. The style of these make them perfect to wear under a collared shirt. I use them everyday and get about 3-5 days worth of listening between charges. The headset even vibrates when you get a call.
I have the Sony MW600. LINK. I love them. The majority of the time I only want to keep one ear bud in, and with these I can do that. You can also use any kind of headphones with them.
I had the Plantronics BB903+'s. I thought their sound quality was really good, and I was all excited to use them with my phone when I go mountain biking. I got so insanely frustrated with the sound cutting out every now and then that I stopped using them. A day later, my dog ate them. Eh, whatever. :good:
As I read around through reviews of other comparable bluetooth headsets I can't help but to question that perhaps audio skipping is somewhat common. As a result, I've personally chosen to stick to traditional headphones. That being said, I'm super curious if anybody has experience with bluetooth headphones that DON'T cut out at all. Eh?
i love my jaybird freedoms. the only thing that is even remotely annoying about them is they charge with a mini usb, other than that, they're light, have great sound and super comfortable. before that i tried a pair of moto ones that were just an all 'round unpleasant experience.
Thanks for suggestions guys, will mull it over :thumbup:

I have both of those units. The trade off is; HBS-700 ok sound, but long BT range (25ft) vs. HBS-730 better sound, but short BT range (10ft).
Sony Ericsson MW600 user here as well. I love that lil sucker. I use my Shure SE215's (clear) and any headsets I can muster like my Sol Republic Amps HD or Sol Republic Ultra's or whatever you have and like. I mean the sound is not like it is when plugged directly in, but sound better than stock nonetheless. :laugh:
I just ordered a pair of Sennheiser MM 100's, will update with how they are once I get them.

I have the MM400s and they're awesome.
I have the sony wireless headset pro, the new one. It is really good, it has wolfson audio for the decoder and even takes a micro sd card. It is easily the best bluetooth headphones I have tried sound quality wise.

I was looking at those but they were a bit out of my price range
I got my MM 100's in today, and I'm impressed. Very clear audio for something this size, as expected from Sennheiser. They feel a bit cheap but I think that's more in the interest of making them light rather than saving money. I don't think they're worth the retail price ($150 ), but I got mine factory refurbished from a seller on amazon for around $40 and they came looking brand new, in refurb packaging of course.
Since I paired these with my phone first I tried call quality, and nobody had any issues understanding me.
EDIT: After some more listening it seems these headphones are lacking in bass... not that there isn't enough volume, but it is literally cutting out frequencies.
I hava nokia bh214 stereo bluetooth ,it's perfect for music & talk
I use the Sony Ericsson MW600, great batterytime, you can use whatever headphones you want and now it's almost for free.
Bought the Sony WS1, little on the expensive side but have alot of functions, same as the MW600 you can use other headphones but the ones that comes with are exellent, SD-slot only drawback is the batterytime...
I use a set of Motorola SF600's and a Plantronics M155 (for single ear A2DP goodness while hiking).
My thoughts on the SF600 are far different than moth peoples, apparently. I love them. I have had zero issues with them, and I am tough on them. They sound PHENOMENAL and the range is incredible. They also support Apt-X, but since the Nexus 7 doesn't, that isn't really a concern. Apt-X is awesome though.
The Plantronics is... OK. It rattles at high volume, and is generally annoying, but its great for the group hikes I go on (for when I am tired of hearing people whine and blabber on ) and it is really good for listening to music in the office.

The reviews that I read about the 730's were that they were a downgrade. Owners of the 700 and the 730 said to not get the 730.
They also said that more than 5' away or loss of line of sight caused the 730s to drop out.

Car stereo compatibility?

What after market car stereo do you recommend for the moto x? Looks like the pioneer app stereo 3 isn't compatible. Too bad cause it looks sweet on an iPhone. Jailbreak just got released so I phones are looking sweet right now especially since they work with just about everything. Maybe I just need to be turned on to the right head unit though.
Have you guys bought anything like that as of late?
Sent from my XT1058 using Tapatalk
No... because the whole concept is severely flawed and poorly executed (even with an iPhone). I keep waiting for someone to get this right and continue to be disappointed.
If you really want something like this and aren't afraid to tinker, you'd be better off, IMHO, with one of the Android head units available on eBay.
Thanks

Not personally. I would suggest one that is at least running ICS (some are still on Gingerbread). I believe there is a forum for them on this site.
Last time I looked at them they were not quite ready for prime time either, at least not for something you want to put in your vehicle tomake things simpler.
I keep waiting for something done right. I can't believe it is taking so long. I mean, all we really need is a smart watch on steroids built into a radio.
I have the feeling this will be the year. Both Google and iOS are working with major car companies. Hopefully the aftermarket doesn't get left behind

Compatibility:silly:
What kind of compatibility are you looking for? The after-market stereo I have connects with Bluetooth, and I can make/answer calls and use Google Play Music just fine. When I do an "Okay Google Now" my phone mic is still what's picking it up, but it speaks to me out my car's speakers.

Mine works like this and even uses the cars mic for voice. Works just as you'd expect. Only time I need my hands is volume.

I think you can configure Google Now to use the Bluetooth device instead -- go into Google Now, then the settings, then Voice.

Thank you for that! I think it popped up letting me know I could change the setting the first time I paired my stereo, but I was driving, so I just dismissed the popup quickly without reading it.

Do you know if it lets you do the opposite? I want play music and beyondpod and what not to play out of the bluetooth but google now to come from the phone. Specifically because on my car (VW Golf 2011) if you don't have the BT audio input selected it goes into a black hole. I like to pair my phone but sometimes want to listen to regular radio or XM radio and not be tied to play music and beyondpod.

Droid turbo doesn't support apt-x?

I was given the LG-HBS750 bluetooth headset but no music audio plays through them when paired. What gives? Any way to add this?
I pair mine with S11 Flex HD headphones and it uses aptx. Check your Bluetooth settings on the phone and see if media is enabled as well as phone.

Got em working, sounds is pretty clear, decent bass and treble. Text message read back is good too.
Spoke too soon, no more worky, I can pair up to these, but no audio, so I thought it was my phone as I've experienced other BT issues with it, so I was sent a warranty replacement. And nope, no worky..
