[Q] Philips Black Surround Sound Headphones - Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, some time ago I bought 2 pairs of Philips Black Surround Sound Headphones for mine and my daughters mobile phones (HTC Wildfires S & HTC Desire).
Now I've upgraded to a Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini I've discovered to my disappointment that neither of them work for making/receiving calls on my new phone, but only work for music. But what I have discovered is that I make a call without the headphones plugged in then plug them in whilst its ringing without any problems but unfortunately, I have to remove them and plug them in again to listen to music.
Does anyone have any idea why this is?

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.

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.

Has anyone had this issue using wirless bluetooth stereo headsets w/a2dp enabled.
@LPHAR56 -aka- do you hear me now "HELL NO!"
I have a pair of Sony DR-BT140Q and they work/sound really great every time. They're not the same kind, but maybe yours are defective?
Try pairing it with a laptop or any other device to see if you get the same results

Yes, the issue is that if I put it as your phone an mp3 if you hear when I call, and also heard all sounds, just do not listen when I run through players, games, internet, I have to listen through headphones.

[Q] HTC HD2 mic problem with Bluetooth Nokia BH-609 and Plantronics M100

Hello,
Recently I've been trying two bluetooth headsets with my HD2, one of them is Plantronics M100 and the second is Nokia BH-609.
My phone uses Manila 2.5. and hypnosis v.7.0.1 plk ROM, I also use the Co0kie.HomeTab_v2.0.0. The phone has a Bluetooth for Windows Mobile 1.9.3 build 1000
As I tried the first headset, the receiving sound quality and volume were fine, but the person I was speaking to had problems with hearing me at certain times. When I had the headset pointing directly at my mouth, it the sound level was ok, but when the headset moved even one centimeter up or down, or even to the side, the sound level was too low for my speaker to hear. This annoyed me a bit, so I returned the headset after a day or two, and got a bit more expensive Nokia BH-609.
To my surprise, there was the same problem with BH-609. After testing the headpiece for a day to make sure there is nothing that I can do, I returned it to the shop as well.
Now I'm looking for advice, I'v searched the Forum and the Internet but can't find a similar problem and a solution. I appreciate all of your help.

[Q] Can you use bluetooth and the headphone jack at the same time on the Z3?

I'm considering pick up a Z3 Compact, and was wondering if anyone could tell me if you could listen to music via the headphone jack and have bluetooth connected for phone calls at the same time. I know that the Galaxy S3, for example, cannot do that, while HTC phones can.
Just so it's clear, this is what I'd like to do:
Headphone jack connected to car stereo's aux in for music, navigation audio, etc.
Bluetooth connected to car for hands free phone calls.
(My car is a few years old and can't do music over bluetooth.)
Can the Z3 do it?
Thanks!
Just tested with the sbh52 and Vizio sound bar auxiliary port.
Works just as you desire. When answering a call, the audio cuts from the headphone jack and routes to the Bluetooth device automatically. This occurs whether you answer from the phone or Bluetooth device. Upon hanging up, the music resumes playing and can be controlled with your Bluetooth device.
