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 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.

I'm looking for some BT earbuds, better than average quality primarily for music to replace the Jabra 620s I have now. I'd like to keep the cost <$50.
I've seen a few suggestions here, but reviews on Amazon haven't been all that stellar. Any recommendations?

I have a LG HBS-730 ... I think it is the best of the $50 units. I picked mine up off of Amazon. The predecessor to this unit was the HBS-700, check out its ratings on Amazon ... it is very popular. Some people had a few difficulties with the 730 when it was released and this is reflected in some of the reviews. I am not having any problems on the Nexus 10 or my Samsung Galaxy Note 2.

Any idea how it would work with a ski helmet? Does it block sound?
I've used the LG HBS-700 set for about a year. Love them, but had to send it in for repair after 4 months when the battery wouldn't hold a charge. Got them back and it's been good since.

If you buy the the LG's be sure to hit up newegg and check the reviews on the HBS 730...I have both the 700 and the 730, 730 sounds better but has really awful reception compared to the 700. The reviews will confirm this.

I actually have the HBS-700's, not the 730's. I am not a skier, but if regular earbuds fit under a ski helmet, these should too. You would want to keep the part that you wear on your neck under a jacket or something so they don't fly off.

Phaiton PS 210 BTNC
After much research I got a pair of Phaiton noise-cancelling ear buds PS 210 BTNC active noise cancelling ear buds. They're pricey, but actually well worth it.
I might have unusually shaped ears, but ear buds are all too often torture for me. These are so comfortable that I can even fall blissfully asleep listening to music.
The sound quality is wonderful and the noise-cancellation is great on airplanes, in server farms, working w/ power tools, etc. Check it out!

Something like this and you can use whatever headphone/earphone you already have. And if the battery ever runs out on the unit you can plug in your headphone straight into the phone.... Unlike bluetooth only headsets

There are cheaper and more expensive units. Sony, samsung and Habra has something similar. There is a black version for 20. Just look at amazon and look around for a bit. Good thing also is that you can hook a 3.5mm aux cable and connect it to speakers, car stereos, receivers and a lot more. A lot more versatile than bluetooth only headsets but i like a lot of functionality for devices and accessories. But you can pay more and have less options but hey you'll have "cool" bluetooth only headphones if you like.

Hi all, I just ordered my VR for the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge Plus phone. What handheld controller do you recommend that is like a Xbox/PS controller? I'd rather prefer a controller that you can hold with both your hands, while enjoying the VR, instead of a tiny micro controller.
Recommendations please that works well for this combination.
I got the Moga Pro Power from Amazon! It's officially supported by oculus/Gear VR and works great with all supported games.
The Moga Pro is great, alternatively for a bit less cash the ipega controllers all seem to work very well (IPega PG-9021 / IPega PG-9028), I use the 9021.
Thanks for these suggestions, moga pro is out of stock most places, and even amazon is not in a position to ship them right now. I went to game stop to try my luck and the guy mentioned about Red Samurai Wireless Controller. Anyone tried this one? He mentioned that it works perfectly fine with the Samsung VR.

Yeah, I went to GameStop to buy the same. It's an excellent controller for the price. Unfortunately couldn't find the stock so had to buy the Moga. No regrets though! I've read in several places that Red Samurai works but few of the games may not have support for this controller (like Mortal Blitz VR added support for MOGA recently and some 3rd party controllers which may include Red Samurai too). Overall, I would suggest taking it. At the cost, I don't think there is anything to regret about!

Apurva, thanks for your responses. I think Moga Pro is the right choice. They were giving away the stock on discounted prices until few weeks back, and now almost everyone is out of stock, the ones that have the stock are selling it 45 and upwards.
I guess i should grab it at this price, as i doubt that soon it will run out completely. VR is selling like hot cakes. While commuting to work to chicago downtown, i've seen couple of folks on their VR in the Metra trains.. and people looking over them with anxiety.. lol

I saw Moga Hero Pro in Target for $20. Everything's same except the size and a little lesser battery (which should still last for several weeks). Also, VR is really amazing and you should definitely get it (unless you've got it already) but do not keep your hopes very high, some people get disappointed with the Screen door effect..
Confirming that the Moga works great, and I have had it for the past 4 weeks, along with the Gear VR. Too bad the Samsung Internet does not yet work with a controller, but I hope they do add this feature on.
hi guys i got the moga mobile remote but it doesn't since to be working has anyone tried yet?

Not judging but why would you want to spend your money on such expensive controller ( I see $89 pricetag on Amazon.com) when officially supported controllers are cheaper ?

I agree with your logic but I have one that was gift and if it will work I won't have to get a moga. I should have my vr soon so I can tell for sure then. But I was curious if anybody else had tried it.
The ouya controller works however on some games the dpad doesnt work.
Am going to get the moga either way and maybe use the ouya controller as a last resort.

Ok so from the first time I tried a Samsung Gear VR in Best Buy about 6 months ago I was amazed at what can be experienced with such technology. Of course I don't have a phone that's compatible with the Gear VR, so I bought a VR Headset that would accept my G4. If you look for VR Headsets you'll find a lot of different information and opinions. One thing I have read a lot of people discussing is FoV (Field of View, Field of Vision). People seem to prefer larger FoV headsets, at least in general that seems to be the consensus from what I've read. Now the headset I purchased was the Shinecon VR headset because it allows you to focus the image rather than it being fixed. I need to wear reading glasses to read anything clearly about 1 to 2 feet away from me and without being able to focus I cannot see the images clearly. That was one very cool thing is that the Gear VR has focus rings so that was clear when I tried it out. I had purchased some cardboard V1 units and they were blurry for me, and I bought the ViewMaster VR Glasses and they were also blurry, as they had no way to focus them. I really enjoy my Shinecon VR headset but I was wondering how it compared to other headsets and especially the Gear VR that I had tried a while back. Recently I installed new Samsung S7 model phones and the new Gear VR in a Sprint store and got to try it again. I was SHOCKED at how strong the screen door effect was on the Gear VR. I realized something. I order to gain a better FOV, the resolution must be sacrified because they are just zooming into the screen more, and therefore the SDE (Screen Door Effect) becomes more dominant.
To illustrate this, I scanned different QR codes for different headsets and you will see that for the ones that are really higher end VR Headsets, the resolution is sacrified in order to gain a greater FOV. This isn't really any secret, and you can find it causually mentioned in some other forums, like the Google Cardboard forum on Reddit, but it seemed elusive to me at first. So for anyone wanting more info on this I thought I'd post this. I would imagine that phones with 5 to 6 inch 4K screens would be much more suitable for these higher FoV headsets. As for now, I'm VERY pleased with my Shinecon VR, although I have a BoboVR Z3 coming on Monday. The SDE is 10x more dominant on the Samsung Gear VR than on my Shinecon headset. Ultimately this is a matter of preference as to how much this influences someone's choice of headset, but what is constant is that higher FoV is acheived at the sacrifice of resolution. Hope this helps anyone understand some of these VR Headset attributes!
See attached screenshots!! :good:
I have a HooToo 3D VR headset coming in the mail tomorrow, I will let you know how it works for people that are thinking of getting into VR with their G4. Apparently you can buy a controller with it but I didn't bother with that, if it does have an opening for a otg cable I will make sure to mention that.

So I finally got it in the mail and the HooToo VR headset is pretty good but the site says it doesn't support the dimensions of the LG G4 and Nexus 6P which a crock as mine fits perfectly, the headphone jack can't really be plugged in due it being a bit more off to the one side but blutooth headphones is pretty much your best bet but I will be trying a different method in a little bit to remedy this problem other than that this an extremely comfortable VR headset.
Edit: so after use for half hour watching a show, I found the LG G4 gets extremely hot and battery drain is massive, but upon further research, this is pretty much any phone with any VR headset, due to the fact that all the sensors running and the processing power needed to do two screens of the same thing at the same time, if you can find a way to keep it much cooler then your good and golden, for both battery life and performance.
I have a shinecon vr but the magnet will not hold the flap shut. Has anyone else had this problem?
So when I got my Galaxy S7 I also got a Gear VR. I've recently upgraded to an S8+. I see that I can order a part to swap out the micro USB for a USB C connector. Great! So I order it. I'm happy that it came in the mail. No instructions - no big deal. I find instructions using our trusty friend Google. The instructions don't match the Gear VR I have. I can't swap the connector out. Doing some more searching I find there are different models of Gear VR. Mine is apparently the older model that doesn't have a swappable connector.
Oh well. Maybe I'll take the damn thing to the shooting range. We'll see how it holds up to a round of .500 Smith and Wesson magnum...

well, there is always the "dremel" and a hack it till it works? Or ebay? Not that you would get the equivelent of the "fun factor" of just using it for target practice, but there are always alternatives to consider.
