[Q]compatibility: Vita in ear headset + LG P500

Good day everyone!
As the title says, did anyone here test out the ps vita in ear headset with our phone (mine's LG-P500)? I'm hoping to get the headset for my vita AS LONG AS it works with my phone too (because... i have my own reasons.)
TIA.
Cheers!
Well, it depends on the rom, ics/cm9 doesn't work yet, but any gingerbread rom should work fine.
(I guess it's a bluetooth?)
If it's not, my bet is it will work on gb/cm7, can't promise you it does work without problems.
Sent from my phone using xda premium.
It works
I just had to buy it to test it. XD
Anyway, it works properly on the current rom im using (razr UI remake). mic works too.
And... I tested it too on an iphone 4s my friend has, and it works like a charm too.
The thing is, It's a "not really great, but not bad" in ear headset.
Overall, im happy with it.
btw, it's not a bluetooth headset. XD

Working bluetooth for calls

Was wondering if anyone on here is using bluetooth for making calls? If so could you post what you're using? The two headsets I have aren't being recognized by my phone. Thanks in advance.
Sent from my VZW Gnote 2.
I have the Bose Series 2. I get every little notification my phone makes, calls, music, you name it in it.
Has wonderful noise cancellation too.
What ones are you using?
I have a plantronics marque that works great
Sent from a unlocked and cocked Galaxy Note 2..........
LG HBS-700 works great. Even with S Voice.
I'm sure you're looking for a headset, but figured it's worth mentioning that bluetooth calls work fine using Sync in my Ford Focus.

USB DAC's - I've tried the FiiO K1 - other DAC's which are working?

Sooo, i bought the small but powerful K1 yesterday but I couldn't figure out how the K1 will work with my Nexus 6. I've connected it via OTG and it got recognised but yeah no sound came out of it :crying:. So I connected a passive USB Hub to the OTG cable. I can't say why but connected to the hub the K1 worked fine.
This isn't a great solution for me, has someone got the K1 working without a USB hub? Which USB DAC's are working for you?
the FiiO Q1 works with N6 like charm. I got the K1 and it's not working as well (not enough power to drive the amp I guess)

Thinking about getting the Q1. Would you recommend it to me? I have never even used a DAC before but I'm starting to become a bit of an audiophile after discovering ViPER...

on that price point? yeah, absolutely!
but here's the thing. Audio is not just about the DAC-AMP and then you got that sound you always wanted. Q1 is bit warm and smooth (K1 as well) and it's a perfect match for vocals and instruments (and maybe some other genre).
and there's the IEM/Headphone/Earphone factor again..

Yea, also looking to pick up a pair of Sennheiser CX300 II soon. I take it Skullcandy is not a very "audiophile" brand Also, I'm running the stock ViPERAtmos package which, in my noob opinion, is pushing some pretty good sound when I have ViPER Clarity and the Dolby Atmos active equalizer going.

CX300 ii 's a good pick for bass! I had the chance to try one few years back and it was "good".
I'm no "Viper" kind of guy or those kind of "sound enhancement" but if you enjoy having enhancements, why not

What would you personally recommend me considering that my total upgrade budget is around $150? I was thinking $150 would get me the Fiio and the Sennheisers but you sound like you know what you're talking about, so I would love to get your opinion on how I should upgrade!

My recommendation would be..
I am not sure about how much this will cost you but i got this for $30 : http://sea.audio-technica.com/products/headphones/lifestyle/all-earphones/ath-ck330is . It is a fun, all arounder IEM and great for the budget.
for the DAC.. I think the K1 would be enough if you're listening from a laptop. But if you don't really mind carrying extra DAC-AMP for portable uses, the Q1 will serve you well.
==
but hey, if you do have access to local headphone store, go on and try what they have in offer(audition, as i love to call it). Who knows that you will find better deal there right?

FiiO E10K also works like a charm. I supose E18 must work too, because it's battery powered.
I have an AudioQuest Dragon Fly that works great. I also use USB Player Pro to play hi-fi flac files from place like HDTracks.

Strangest thing is that E10K works well with N6, while the even smaller K1 does not. My E17 (not 17K) used to be working very well too!

Is the K1 working on any phones? I think it is a driver/kerner problem, not a power supply one...

Before you go buy a dac or amp you might want to do some research from head fi.
The dac on the nexus is aight but it pushes little power for a portable device.

Did you use a direct micro USB hub or a normal USB hub connected via a micro USB to USB cable? Also is the USB hub USB 2.0 or 3.0?

android wear update to allow speaker usage!

So as i undderstand there is a speaker in the moto 360 2, and today i recieved an android wear update that listed speaker usage for calls and sounds as one of the changes, anyone figure out how to enable this on the watch?
AFAIK, the Moto 360 2015 does NOT have speakers...

that is what the spec say, i haven't found any tear down (and i'm not willing to sacrifice my own) but i'm still curious what the slot below the microphone does?
Android Wear is completely independent from the Moto 360 2nd gen. It's just the app that allows ANY Android Wear device (Moto 360, LG Urbane, Huawei Watch, etc) to share information between the phone and device. That spec in the update was only referring to some sort of fix or tweak for those Android Wear devices who DO have speakers.
The Moto 360 2nd gen (and 1st gen) does not have built-in speakers, so this change in the update does not apply to our watches. Simply put, without a speaker, no update in the world could magically make your watch produce sound. Lol

Since the band now connect to lugs instead of the phone body, that slot beneath the microphone is there to assist in opening the device. It is not a speaker outlet.
Besides, it would really be awkward to talk to a watch in public XD
I don't even use my phone on handsfree when in public.
I saw my brother do it a few times with his Apple Watch (phone conversation that is). It wasn't exactly clear and easy, but it wasn't terrible either.
If my watch had a speaker I'd probably use it in a pinch if I couldn't get my phone out right away or I was a maybe in a different room in my house. But then I'd probably only do it long enough to answer the call and tell the caller to hold on while I went to the other room to get my phone.
At work I usually have my BT headset on so I wouldn't use it then... well, except for days like today when I forgot to grab it, dangnabbit!

Don't buy Asus ROG Strix Go 2.4hz for your ROG II

I was about to buy the ASUS ROG Strix Go 2.4hz because I was tired of testing and looking for low latency available BT Audio Devices. Good thing that I checked Zen Talk first.
I found out that the equalizer app for the said device is not available on phones and that they are not yet planning to have one yet. See the attached link of the thread at Zen Talk. https://zentalk.asus.com/en/discussion/comment/43508#Comment_43508
I could have looked the otherway with having a 3.5mm line for hi-res audio but I am not ok without the app.. talk about versatility of the device..

It's designed for PC and what does a lack of an app have to do with the phone's versatility?

I was referring to the strix go 2.4z.. Asus should have developed an integrated system for both of them.. It will be great to have compatible devices.. The current audiowizard on rog II does not have an equalizer.. As to the strix, they are marketing it as a versatile device. If they'd upgrade the audiowizard to have equalizer settings when it is connected to Rog II, that would be definitely great..
I buy one for my rog2 already. U can set EQ save in headset and plug to ur phone. Thats not big deal. I love wireless.

When was the last update bro? I am waiting for the xiaomi line free bluetooth headphones that I ordered, it has aptx adaptive codec.. will try to make review about it... The latency is upto 80ms..
Now back to the ROG Strix Go, is the audiowizard compatible? Setting it's soundstage to wide is great advantage in shooting games... I had 90% accuracy in pinpointing the location of the enemies... I am currently using the fiil t1x TWS, the latency is the reason of that 10%, however the sounds are great.. It was immersive in playing online games, watching movies, and listening to songs..
Try testing the ROG Strix Go with the barber shop test, it's available at youtube.. There's a portion of that audio soundstage test that would make you freak out due to realistic sound effects... Please do reply hear after you have done that.. It will be a great help to all of us..
Will share hear also my experience with the xiaomi device

I am using it for a month now. The only hiccup is tweaking eq via pc Armoury crate. I have mailed Asus to add it on Mobile Armoury Crate as well. It sounds great. Not regretting my decision at all.
