every few years i like to buy a high end phone just because i do a lot with my phone. Ive owned phones like the sony w900, nokia n95, iphone 3g, and my nexus one. Besides the iphone 3g which i ditched and went back to my n95 in two weeks. after nearly half a year now and with the release of froyo that doesnt fix my complaints with the phone, i find that the nexus one has been my most disappointing. It seems either google or htc cut many corners with the phone (speaker, sound recording, phone overheating, weird problems with the touchscreen).
im not a fanboy or anything, i just prefer to buy the best possible phone when i buy one, and was considering an iphone 4 until steve jobs basically gave the middle finger to all those with the antenna problem. so now im looking into getting a galaxy s when it comes out.
anyone know if the poor sound in video recordings is exclusive to the n1, or all android phones? thanks
Well the Nexus uses an inferior codec for encoding its sound in video (AMR.)
Currently people are working to enable the AAC codec for video to allow for better recording. Since Android is open source, manufacturers can install their own codecs for use with their cameras, so its possible/likely that the Galaxy S will have better video capability (they also have included the DivX codec for watching movies I believe)
The Nexus really has a terrible speaker though

haha yes i know G1 was just as bad (a lil better imo,) but the nexus one is supposed to be a superphone! it sucks coming from nokias which cost $250-300 less than the nexus
The Moto Droid came with an outstanding speaker AND a 16gb microSD card. Those are the only two complaints I have with the N1. We should bombard HTC with emails demanding that they use speakers on par with Moto's going forward.
I'm glad I never use my speaker, lol.

If sound quality is your only complaint about the Nexus One, perhaps you should switch to a SE X10.
Speaker sucks big time, Motorla Mielsotne/Droid is way more powerful speaker, even on the low end it sounds good (but doesn't create bass)...

I always thought the iphone 3GS had a good speaker system. I think it had one where a normal phone speaker is, then two on the bottom or something. Blackberry bold had a few speaker ports, too. But I still love my N1!

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.

I have the HBS-700 and really like it a lot. Is the 730 really THAT much of an upgrade to justify buying it if I already have the 700?

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.

Hi
I currently have a Moto G and I like it alot apart from the camera and the sound quality via headphones. I had the Galaxy Note 2 before this it was way better on clarity and low end. I understand that it's a much more expensive phone so not really a fair comparison.
I just wondered if anybody had any experience with the Moto G and Moto X and if the X has noticeably better sound quality of the two?
Thanks,
I like the sound quality of my headphones on the moto x. I have my old sgs4 headphones but I used my old apple headphones as well and sound quality on the s4 headphones are better than the apple headphones. But it would sound a lot better with viper4android as well
MOTO X

Thanks for the insight.
Anyone else with an opinion?
I do really like my Motorola headphones, but I'm now using my old Samsung ones, as they seem to have clearer sound quality.
And yes, you definitely should install Viper4Android, it's just the best.
Hello,
My Moto G 2014 isn't detecting my Xiaomi Piston 2.0 earphones, but the ones Motorola packed with the phone works [They aren't really great though]. Is there any way I could make my Piston 2.0 earphones work with my phone or what's the best, compatible earphones for Moto G 2014?
Thanks! :good::good:

Does Sennheiser cx215 sound great? Would you recommend 'em?
Yes, I wholeheartedly recommend them.
A tad bit heavy on wallet, for sure.
But if sound quality is a must, you should definetly check it out
EDIT; If you can stretch out your budget a bit more, be sure to check sennheiser cx300 II out too

Can't really help you man. Someone in the piston xda forums advised me this converter. I haven't bought it because as you said in the pvt message, chinese suppliers take a looonggg time to dispatch their products. Thus no point. I can't find any converter here in India too. I don't think anyone here sells it.
Anyways let me know if you find something. I'll appreciate it.
Samsung ear buds work fine.. The button control doesn't work though!
TRy the Sony MH 750 . Mic and answer button works on my 1 gen Moto . Sound quality is not bad and easy on pocket . Make sure you get the original one and not the fake .

Thank you for answering. I've bought a Sennheiser earphones just now! :good::good:
Philips SHE3595 are working too.

I recommend Snab Overtone EP-81 M. Controls and mic works, metal body, thick cord and great powerful sound. Deep fully controlled bass, clear treble, mids slightly withdrawn, but still clear. The sound is addictive. I can not imagine ANY other headphones.
But... this is polish product.
Sony MH 750 are working fine, mic, one button.
Are there any 3 buttons headphones + mic compatible? Xiaomi Pistons 2 works but no vol+vol- buttons
Edit: never mind motorola said me thru chat that just one-button remote is supported...
my wife just got these http://www.amazon.com/audio-technica-smartphone-ATH-S100iS-BGR-Black-Green/dp/B00FFKJ3GM for her moto g 2014, one button ops with volume slider.
short press activates the music app, long press activates voice dialling
2 combos!
I suggest you the LG G2 headset with volume command and mic (or Samsung's S5 headphones), but if you have a MOTO 360 you can use Apple's In-ear headphones + play music controls on the wearable! These headsets are wired. You can find on amazon or other places Bluetooth headsets too!
Right now I'm using an Alpatronix HX110 + wearable controls. But in the end you have to decide your combo according to your tastes and your budget!
