So.... I'm in the market for a new Bluetooth and wanted to get some REAL user feedback of what everyone is using and what are their pros and cons are of the Bluetooth you are using.
What I'm looking for is a Bluetooth that can take advantage of Androids voice commands thru the Bluetooth with out touching the phone (i.e. Call xxx, navigate to... Listen to.. Send text to...)
Also I have seen and been reading that some Bluetooth manufactures are releasing their own apps in the market. which enhance the Bluetooth experience with text to speech, and ability to respond to text thru the Bluetooth.
Also would like to know what sound quality is, how well music streams, voice and call quality(on both ends) and distance away from phone(how far you can go) and talk time.
There is one Bluetooth I have been looking into, and it is the motorola HX550 that sprint has.. It has moto speak app (which will read your text to you and you can respond to text thru the Bluetooth and has a range of 300 feet.
So please let me know what your pros and cons are...
Thank you for your input...
No one uses Bluetooth?

I have the Jawbone Icon and I'm very happy with it. I upgraded to it from the Jawbone 2, which I still have and it still works perfect as well. With the Icon you can listen to music and audio from movies/videos on your phone. All you have to do is sync it with Jawbone's website and update out to the latest software. The company, Aliph, constantly has software updates and apps on the Jawbone website so you can keep your headset up to date with the latest features. I've never had a Bluetooth headset before that had those kind if features, its really nice.

I have the hx550 and am happy with it. I listen to music all day at work through it. Motospeak works pretty accurately and you can customize the fit for you easily.

I don't use it a ton but I have some cheap LG model someone gave me as a gift, nothing remarkable about the earpiece itself... The car dock/speaker it comes with is pretty neat tho, it comes with a basic windshield cradle with two suction cups and it has photovoltaic cells on the outward facing side... So I drop the earpiece into that car speaker/solar charger and I never need to worry about charging it.
Kind of gimmicky since the batteries on these things last a while, but since I don't use it a lot and my car didn't have BT it's particularly convenient. I use a separate Kensington kit for BT music streaming in the car tho, the remote on that LiquidAux kit is something I haven't seen elsewhere.

I've been using the Motorola S10-HD headset for a few months now and like it a lot. The mics isn't as good as on a dedicated talk only headset like the jawbone (which I also own but always seem to misplace) but its durability and multi function use as a stereo headset when needed works perfect for my needs.
Far as the specifics you mention, I've been clear across my house and still had a great connection while listening to music. As far as function, it seems to do everything my jawbone does in terms of using the voice dialing and music player controls but I haven't figured out a way to send a text message via the headset, that would be handy.
Just ordered the jabra sport Bluetooth yesterday. Well update post when they arrive in a couple of days

I haven't tested the range too much. I left it in the backroom of my store and walked outside and it lost connection. Straight line distance at most 20 feet but lots of metal, electronics and concrete that could harm signal transmission

I have the Motorola finiti, which I love. It actually goes in the ear instead of the ones that have the big speaker that goes against the ear canal. Those require you to use the over the ear thingy, whereas this one doesn't because it goes in the canal. If you wear glasses, as I do, or don't want to wear the "thingy" all the time, I'd look at something like the finiti.
When it comes to voice dial, It's hit or miss, more often than not it fails to make the correct call or even one at all. I get a lot of "no result try again" or "calling John on mobile" when I clearly said something completely different like call Galaxy 1.

"bluetooth" is just the radio technology being used so when you say which bluetooth we are using, it sounds really silly. What want to say is which bluetooth headset everyone is using.

Everybody that has read and responded to this thread knew exactly what was meant, as did you. Yes, it could have been worded differently, but there is no need for this post. Besides there's different Bluetooth devices, not just the headset, there's in car speaker, earpiece, headphones, even a car radio. So calling them all just plain Bluetooth is standard for most people and everyone understands it.
While we're correcting people your sentence should have been "What YOU want to say is: Which Bluetooth headset IS everyone using?"

Anyone have any good solutions? I am trying to find some, but coming up with older outdated results.
I basically want a bluetooth receiver that I can plug into my AUX input of my car. This being used for music, GPS and calls. I would also like something that can keep power through the car lighter if possible.

Just wanted to warn people there are two versions of this. The BTAXS and BTAXM. On Ebay you'll see both and the M is cheaper, but that one only does bluetooth calling no a2dp stereo. So you want to buy the BTAXS.

Their English is pretty bad but from the part of the description I can make out it sounds like a A2DP receiver, so it should work.
Just so you know, amazon has this a bit cheaper. I think amazon can be trusted more than ebay imho.

Quick update, I received my Scosche motorMOUTH II Stereo from the ebay I linked. I received it the day after I placed the order. It works great, sounds great. People can tell I'm on speakerphone but they understand me fine. The only con is that you can't charge it while using it. it usually prevents you, but I was able to get it to charge while running, the problem is that you will get the weird feedback sound from the car lighter through aux cable.... Not sure how to explain it.

That's a ground loop. Google ground loop isolator or ground loop filter.
The one I have looks exactly like the PAC SNI-1/3.5 or the PGLI35 (just google those terms) and it works very well - don't pay over $15, I think I paid less than $10 three years ago. It looks like the Kensington Noise Reducing Car Audio AUX Cable has it built-in if you need something longer.
I got this one for $32 at tmobile store with the 50% off coupon. Its a headset that comes with an adaptor to plug a 3.5mm audio jack and a stereo headset.

Yes. Under each bluetooth device you pair to on your phone you can select whether it's used for music, calls, or both; and you can pair with two devices simultaneously. I do this successfully all the time with my Kensington Liquid Aux (for music in the car, does calls too but the mic is crappy) and a cheap BT headset from LG.
It's a shame that Kensington unit is hard to find now, the remote it comes is SUPER handy and it's something I haven't seen included with any other BT bridge. I attached the remote to my Civic's steering wheel and it literally looks stock.
Another good bridge for music only is the BluBridge mini-jack Rx, battery lasts a long time and you can power it with any USB car charger, really good range too. I got one last year and liked it so much I got a second during Christmas to give away as a gift. I use it at home or during small get-togethers so I can stream to any stereo or set of portable speakers.
Ive been using this one http://cgi.ebay.com/IOGEAR-Bluetooth-Wireless-Audio-Transport-Headset-NEW-/150443532234?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2307221fca
Not trying to be rude or anything but why use bluetooth?
Why not just plug your phone directly into the Aux?
I have one of these:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B001DDE4VY/ref=redir_mdp_mobile/175-8678155-4748113
And it works well. It's expensive....and it doesn't plug into your Audi port.....and the Mic isn't built in ....the Mic comes with it, you have to plug it in and clip it on to your shirt. The satechi device works real well though.
So I have been looking through the forums and havent been able to find anything on this issue yet. the speaker is really loud on this phone and I like that ans sounds great when playing pandora and stuff but on games and some other programs there is extreme static, you cant hear it all that much when you have the volume up and the phone far away from your ears, but if you put the phone closer you will hear a lot of feedback it sounds like and tons of static I was just wondering if this was normal and other people were having this issue as well or if it was just me. Also if there is a way to fix this and someone knows and help would be appreciated.

Having been around Motorola for 15 years now, they've always had some of the best speakers and earpieces in their phones. I'm not personally saying other models are bad or anything of the sort, but when I open up a Moto phone, and see those HUGE round familiar speakers, I just know Moto took the time to put some awesome hardware in here.
You've got to remember, Motorola was (and still is) a company that produced and manufactured walkie talkie's from long ago, the audio needed to be heard and that still stands up today. I expected nothing less.
And not only that but the drivers on the circuit board that run that audio are amazing. Case in point, I personally have a headphone amplifier hooked up to my Photon, and it drives and feeds that audio into that amp very well, and sounds crisp, clear, and amazing through it and a $200 pair of headphones I got on sale. Even w/o the amp, listening to podcasts sounds very clear compared to other phone models I've done this with.
If any phone could ever replace a stand alone mp3 player, it would be a Motorola. I'd say it's closer to Cowon quality audio, and anyone who's an audiophile knows Cowon is a top dog in that industry for best sounding audio.
I agree on music and things the audio is great but like CNET TV app you tube and some others I hear the hiss maybe it is just poor audio from the apps them selves oh well not that big a deal just seeing if anybody else was noticing it.
Sent from my MB855 using XDA App
Mine sounds really pretty good, but I have to have it halfway before I really hear anything. At full it is OK, but I think it should be louder. Is there a setting somewhere? Does anyone else think it could be louder still?
So I finally found the answer to my problem it was the audio effects that are under the sound menu that was causing the static it was being over amplified, turning it of made it quieter but still sounded great with no static.

I found enabling HAC (hearing aid compatibility) in call settings caused static when I went to speaker and would not go away until I ended the call.
It was bad as I like speaker phone.
Disabling HAC solved the problem.
When answering the phone while in the car dock the audio is routed to the internal speaker rather than through the audio output to the stereo. Anyone know how to fix this?
Sent from my MB855 using xda premium
When you're on a call uncheck "speaker" and it should go thru the car speakers.
It does. But then the mic is muted so no one can hear you

I have 2 dumb questions as I spent the better part of the day yesterday looking. 1. Does it charge the photon when It's in car dock?
2. You mean I can play the music thru the speakers? How? it dock wired to stero?
Yes and yes. It charges while in the dock and the dock has a 3.5mm output cable.
See here.
Or if you have a bluetooth capable radio it will stream thru THAT>>>>

Well Bluetooth works while in the car dock but if you want to hear your music through the car speakers you have to turn Bluetooth off. Then when you get a call, you can't answer it without taking the phone out of the cradle because by the time you turn the Bluetooth back on and wait for it to connect, you've lost the call. Either I'm stupid and missing something or this is a really dumb design.

Exactly, I was almost better off using my old 3.5 to RF adapter because at least then I could answer the phone without having to pull it all apart.
Depends on the car stereo i guess.
I have my phone connected using the 3.5mm cable to my stereo and bluetooth is always connected. when i get a call (no matter what audio source i'm using ) the bluetooth with take over and let me answer through my stereo.

my bluetooth and car dock work flawlessly together. i didn't even have to change settings. the stereo i installed does have a mic so that may be different than what some people are experiencing. it actually syncs my phonebook and tells me who is calling while stopping my music and playing a nice little ringtone through my speakers. highly suggest to anyone who is on the road alot and prefers not getting a ticket.
it's a SONY MEX-BT2900.
car dock + bluetooth streaming music = no wires, no hassles.
I have a Pioneer AVH-P5200BT DVD Player. Best Buy is installing it at 10:00AM tomorrow. I will let you know how it works at 11:00AM!
Sometimes my wife's stereo will not pick up BT calls (calls go to the phone, just no audio). And sometimes we realize the car is on (being warmed up or whatever) and get a call, but no audio since its being directed though the car stereo. If this sounds like what you are experiencing all you have to do is hit the bluetooth button from the incall screen. This will route it back to the phone.
There should be no reason to turn on and off BT.
OK Boys and Girls. My Pioneer AVH-P5200BT DVD Player is killing me. (This is a LONG learning process................) TeleNav for Navagation works perfect. I can play music from my playlist and still get directions. Phone works perfect and I have not gotten any complaints. Dialing the phone is easy.
I only have 2 complaints. One (and this is minor) I cannot watch or play DVD unless parking brake light is on. (I dont watch movies anyway) I cannot watch Movies on Photon if it's in the dock. (again, dont want to watch anyway. I was just playing)
Second, I cannot get my music to play thru Bluetooth no matter how hard I try. I turn it off/on, I pair it again and again. Funny thing though. I have BT Headphones, When I pair or look at them, I see Headphones. When I look at my stereo, (or my ear piece), I see a ear piece?
I really, really, really love the setup though. Everything is within easy reach and the way it tilts to me is entertainment delight! (I will take picture later!)
David
OK all, Pictures of my DVD Player Open and Closed with Car Dock below. You don't see my Photon for obvious reasons (I needed it to take the picture) but you get the idea. Also, If you notice its slanted to the left. That is for my easy use, but I can slant it the other way if passenger wants to change playlist and/or navigate directions somewhere. David
EDIT: My pictures failed to attach? Hum........
I don't think that you all understand the original question. The problem is NOT with bluetooth. The problem is that the internal microphone is muted when you shut off the speakerphone function. Therefore when the audio is routed through the aux jack while in a call people can't hear you

Newegg. I got the Motorola ##9 in the ear for like 45.00 regularly 100.00. I also got one at Best Buy, it is made by Rocketfish for about 50.00. The Rocketfish is an on top of the ear, and I like it as well as the Motorola. These both have a hidden mic, and have great sound quality(I am not an audiophile)so that is my opinion. Motorola's are not as comfortable as the RF's, but they they are more concealed.

It makes it much easier to control your phone while you're excercising for example without the cord connected to it.
At the same time the module itself also has buttons to control music and access voice commands.
Another thing is that the module also has a mic built in to work with headphones that don't.
Another +1 on the Sony MW600!

BH-503 Designer's Bluetooth Stereo Handsfree Headset (13-Hour Talk/240-Hour Standby)
Works like a charm with my S2.
I picked up one of the Sony WM600 headsets this weekend. It was on sale at the local AT&T store and with my FAN discount and taxes, the price came to less than $42.
Today is the first full day of use, but I've been using it to stream music and podcasts and one 15 minute phone call all morning long. About 4 hours on it so far and the battery meter hasn't budged. Range is decent - I've wondered off about 20 feet with no loss of audio. Radio works better than I thought at pulling in relatively weak signals.
One complaint - the call/hangup button is positioned in such a way that when you grab it to release the clip (like you would to re-position it) you end up pressing the button.
One oddity - when you press the call/hangup button, it seems to sometimes loose it's connection to the music stream and can take a few on/off bluetooth toggles to get it to reconnect.
So far I really like it. The display is nice and passes on caller ID information. It's very small and from what I can tell so far, the battery life will be decent.
Hi,
I misplaced my iBeats, since I don't listen to music on the phone, I just need a pair of headset with mic, would something from Evo 4G or other HTC phone works with the Rezound? I did a search didn't find any info related to this.
This is the one I am thinking about getting:

any headphone will work as long as it fits.
I heard the ps vita headphones were good and at like $15 I think they have a mic as well

I know Jay's sound really good. A bit pricey but are comfortable in your ears for long periods of time. I think the one I had was jays ones then my sons cat chewed the cord like all the other ones. Definitely going to get another pair.

Sony makes a really nice set of headphones with the mic, If any headset works as stated above, that would be a pair I would consider. Walmart has them and also office depot, and usually theres like 3 or 4 models about 5 - 10 bucks apart.
There's been a few times i was traveling or something and needed a pair quick or the kids lost my girl's pairs, and a quick trip to walgreens and $15 got a nice set of stereo ear plugs and I know some of them have the mic and headset controls that will work with the headset hook mod.
Don't laugh but try Big Lots if you have 1 near you. The last time I was in the 1 near me they had a ton of ear buds & over ear headphones real cheap.

I think he is wondering about the buttons, of course, the "it will work as long as it fits" may not be accurate either
Sometimes you have to be smarter than your smartphone.

I actually used these last year, I like them, but they broke. they work fine for the mic but you'll miss the in-line buttons
