best bluetooth headset

[pc747]

I posted this on droidforums, but I want to share here. I like listening to music but do not always care for the wire headphones.

Well I just bought some Jwins: Ima post my initial reviews and after playing with it will post my final.
If any of you have a set of any brand, post your reviews. This is a copy and paste from df so those tht go to both forums, there is nothing different said here:




I just got them from the mail today so Ima give my initial thoughts. I will be putting them to the test at work and then give my overall view. Now I bought these because they rated well on amazon:

When I opened it I looked over them and they seem durable to a point, obviously if I bend them too much they will probably break.

Initial pros: I like how easy it is to pair with the droid. Music plays clear and they feel comfortable for the most part. I like the look and being that I am more of the fan of the old style headphones that cover your ear and do not like the ones that dig into your ear, this is more me. It has a nice volume range. As far as charges via usb cord. Bluetooth callin/talking works and the other person hear me clearly.

Initial Cons: Because it covers your ears, after hours in the heat it may get uncomfortable (I will know more after playing with it for a week). I wish it had a wat to make it feel tighter and more secure. It fits comfortably, but it seems like it will just fall off (again as I put it to the test I will know if that is actually the case). There needs to be away to tell the battery life. The box says 20 hrs talk time/ 400 standby. I would like to know when I am getting to a point when it is going to die.

Initial overall: For 20 buck it seems like you get a decent set of bluetooth head phones that set up easily. They rated well on amazon. I have saw 60 dollar headset rate worse.

I'm interested in bluetooth headset but have no idea what to look for. I just ordered a wired pair, Klipsch Image S4i Premium Noise-Isolating Headset with 3-Button Apple Control having read in another thread that they worked great the DInc. But now I'm thinking bluetooth may be the way to go but don't want to sink my money into just any pair. I couldn't locate the ones listed above and am honestly clueless about this matter. Any help so I could do some research and price hunting would be appreciated.

Amazon.com was where I got those. It was cheaper and I was able check out how other buyers rated them. I typed in bluetooth headphones and it gave a list and the ratings. Hope it helps.

CA has strict laws now about having a hands-free device in order to talk on the phone while driving.
Just saw on the news thats fines are in discussion to be doubled next year

As far as bluetooth, I choose Plantronics over other products due to their ear-piece speaker being much clearer than others and their noise-cancellation mic

What platronics models work with the DInc cause I've been looking at these. I've been looking at the 906 and want to make sure it's the correct model to buy. Thanks!!

My overall: 2/10 These things are horrible with range. I put my droid in my pocket and it starts breaking up. I am disappointed, now I have to buy a new set already. Yesterday when I took them out the package they seem alright but I did not really test them. Today man I was so frustrated with it cutting in and out I took them off and put them back in my bag and just went no music.

So Do not buy. I am going to check out one of the motorola brands tomo.

If you can find the 903 you might get it a little cheaper. Its the exact same headphone, but the 906 comes with an extra bluetooth transmitter you can plug into the headphone jack of non-bluetooth devices. You obviously don't need that with the Dinc, so look for the 903. That's the one I plan on buying.

Though the s9hds worked much better then the JWins, it still cut out on me 4 times and It started breaking up too much for me. Unless you have a bigger head its not secure or comfortable for that matter.
The positives: it pairs easy with the droid, it endures sweat, so if you work in the heat or you use it for a work out, you do not have to worry bout it quitting on you. The controls are responsive and in a good place. The cushion was surprisingly comfortable. The music and call quality was good, and the signal strength was good.

Negatives: it was uncomfortable for me. It was loose and felt like it was going to fall off my neck. A couple of times I had to fiddle with it to balance it so it would right. Though it had good signal strength, it would break connection at least once every 2 hours. I would have to go into setting disconnect and reconnect the device. During a 10 hr shift it cut out on me 4 times and felt like it wanted to cut out at times.

Overall my user rating is 4.5 out 10.
