[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] TheMiltos21:
X10 Mini Pro was abandoned by Sony Ericsson a long time ago.This phone was released with Android 1.6,and in 2011 skipping Android 2.0 Sony Ericsson updated us to 2.1.1.Then,SE started to release Xperia ARC,Xperia Play,Xperia Mini and all of the others of the 2011 line.Froyo was skipped.All of them shipped with Gingerbread.Then,ICS came out for them.No ICS for us from Sony Ericsson.There is ICS for us from XDA,I think that Jelly Bean will come too!nobodyAtall along with paul-xxx and some others with many knowledge can do ANYTHING!I believe in them.

So,X10 line (except X10) gets stuck at Eclair.

In order for updating you need to unlock your bootloader (first you have to make sure it's safe to do so,you may lose capability of radio,i mean radio for music and radio for calls!) and then flash E10i_nAa-ics_02.ftf and MiniCM9-3.0.1-robynn.zip and voila!A partially (I use it everyday,even though it's slow as hell :D) working ROM on E10i!(I have U20)

A couple of days ago I didn't know what Apt-X was, but now I know, and... finally understand why bluetooth streaming was so horrible with my HTC Desire!

So since the S3 has this codec, and since I am going to get the S3, I would like to know which is the best bluetooth stereo headset out there that supports this?

HS3000 looks good, and might be the thing for me but it's more than a year old AFAIK. Any other suggestions? Can be any brand.

EDIT: Sound quality is priority.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] NZtechfreak:
What's the issue with the HS3000 being a year old? I have one and use it with my One X (also Apt-X capable), great piece of kit and cheap too. Besides that Apt-X headsets are fairly scarce at present, I know Sennheiser have several, but the prices are rather prohibitive...
[Galaxy S III Accessories] ph00ny:
If you want a real capable headphone, Sennheiser MM-550x/450x seems like a true winner in that regard
[Galaxy S III Accessories] mashed_ash:
I'm looking for a new Bluetooth headset for music too... i'm currently using a Sony Ericsson MW600 which is pretty good but I'm keen to get something with apt-x support.

The HS3000 looks ok but ideally i'd like a display so i can see the number of people who call and also track information... does anyone know of a bluetooth headset with apt-x support which also has a display?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] ArbiterGR:
Well i'm gonna throw my MW-600 on it. It has superb sound and served me well in both my HTC Wildfire and Huawei U8800... Although if the in-ear buds that samsung provides, sound good i wont bother replacing them :P
[Galaxy S III Accessories] zeitgeb3r:
Are any of the headsets mentioned "lossless" when walking fast?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] NZtechfreak:
Don't really think they're worth it. For that price you could have the HS3000 and buy a set of $200 IEMs and a set of $200 cans which you can use with anything with a 3.5mm output, or even use the HS3000 as an input for anything with a 3.5mm input. For most people that'll be a much higher value proposition.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] g4rvd4:
Agree.

Thanks, I'll check out this model. Looks to be cheaper than the HS3000 too. If the sound quality is good I might buy it.. :)

EDIT: It doesn't seem to support apt-x!

Aren't they all? :confused:

I'd like to know this too because their main application would be in the gym.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] NZtechfreak:
I wear mine hanging from my neck when out cycling and it's fine.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] nikzDHD:
Another vote for HS3000, it supports Apt-X. Using it with my HOX with some £170 iems and sounds fine for wireless playback. Small and compact.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] g4rvd4:
I read that cable noise (thump thump) can be heard easily. Is it true?

How much of a difference is there when you connect those directly without the bluetooth?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Hampa_D:
got the HS3000 two days ago, and i must say its atleas as good as the mw600 it sounds good feels good well its all good BUT thers a damn BUT in there, its the answer button everytime you press it but mistake or otherwise it want's to redial the last number dialed. i havnt found a workaround other than installing a "call confirm" app. so now i only need a tasker profile to activate this between the hours i need it to.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] tadde:
Been using the Nokia Essence, it also has NFC (unfortunatly it doesnt work as planned with Android Devices). However, it does its job pretty well and did i mention it has NFC? :D
[Galaxy S III Accessories] g4rvd4:
Is it easily pressed accidentally?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Hampa_D:
Yes real easy, I'm hoping that someone will develop an call confirm app that turns on at bt connect, the only apps I have found turns call confirm off on bt connection.

Sony is supposed to be releasing the Smart Wireless Headset Pro which appears to have all features of the MW600 with the addition of a micro-SD card slot (2GB card included) and Bluetooth 3.0. It looks like a nice upgrade from the MW600, but it appears that it does not support apt-X as this feature is not listed under the specs tab. It's also a bit expensive, but the street price might be somewhere south of the MSRP of $149.

EDIT: Some features are shown in this video
[Galaxy S III Accessories] g4rvd4:
Thanks for that, checked the entire spec list, but didn't see Apt-X there like you said.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] SiNJiN76:
What are you doing when the button gets pressed accidentally?

---------- Post added at 04:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:01 PM ----------

Yeah...probably didn't put that in because it can be used as an MP3 player on it's own?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Hampa_D:
well for now i have only installed call confirm which prevent the phone to dial when i accidentally. but take a look here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1662727 such app would be the best i think atleast when one is using the hs3000. but i might be on to something else but you need to be rooted. ill keep you posted
[Galaxy S III Accessories] g4rvd4:
I think he meant to ask you how exactly it is getting pressed accidentally. :)
[Galaxy S III Accessories] SiNJiN76:
Yeah...I just wanted to know what activity it is that you do while using the dongle, that it gets pressed accidentally so easily. :)
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Hampa_D:
Hehehe well since I have the headset at work at a kind of warehouse, lifting things and so on its easily pressed. Actually it happened 3 times today luckily the call confirm stopped the call in time. It just happens why i don't know it just does.

[Galaxy S III Accessories] Hampa_D:
could be, but i don't have any warranty on it i'm afraid. anyhow i'm looking into getting the button disabled, it requires root and some editing of some files. will let you know how it turns out.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Snuble:
The auto dialing thing with Bluetooth headsets is a pain. I once had a headset that where supposed to be waterproof, so used it for training. It was not, so it faulted and started to auto dial last number. Happened to be my stepdaughters teacher. And did not find out until the 3rd dial during a hard workout. Needless to say extremely embarrassing and hard to explain.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Hampa_D:
HAHAHAHA i just got the picture in my head, man i actually laughed out loud here at the office. was there any weight lifting involved? man that would be so funny. can imagine what she heard.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] tamanaco:
I just came across these Jaybird SB2 Sportsband BT Headphones and accessories with apt-X , but these headphones are still too big for me. They might still fit someone else needs. I'm still looking for either a IEMs or a Clip with Bluetooth 3.0 AND apt-X support. If someone comes across such beast, please post your findings here.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] tamanaco:
Here is the i.Tech Splash a Bluetooth 2.1 Clip with apt-X support, FM radio and an Android App.

The video review of this clip here is not very positive.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Hampa_D:
It's a little to discreet for my taste.

[Galaxy S III Accessories] NZtechfreak:
The Samsung HS3000 mentioned several times here is a clip on receiver with BT 3.0 and Apt-X...
[Galaxy S III Accessories] ceo.mtcl:
I recommended LG HBS 700. Awesome performance. Over 12 hours of talk time/ music time.

Very comfortable unique design. Read amazon reviews for more details.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] tamanaco:
True... but as the OP mentions the design is a year old and lacks features like a display, FM radio and additional storage that would also make it functional without a phone. It's "possible" that Samsung is working on the next generation of the HS3000 design that will incorporate some of these features. I don't believe the S Pebble is next generation of the HS3000 design. The S3 is not yet available in the US, so I'm looking and waiting for something better than the HS3000 to come alone.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] g4rvd4:
Thanks for the suggestion, but it doesn't seem to support apt-x..

Can you confirm that it does?

It has got good reviews otherwise..
[Galaxy S III Accessories] ph00ny:
I own a set and it doesnt support apt-x and music quality lacks quite a bit.

Vibration feature is cool
[Galaxy S III Accessories] ceo.mtcl:
I'm not sure about it but if you try them on then you'll see how good it is. The sound quality is amazing. Call quality is great and looks professional.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] g4rvd4:
Well,

contrasting opinions:

Thanks anyway. I'd prefer one with apt-x though.

Edit: it doesn't look like there are too many apt-x supported earphones out there.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] NZtechfreak:
The one that says quality is lacking is the one to trust. Anyone who is using a using a non-Apt-X device at each end/BT 2.0 playback device who says the music quality is awesome is not to be trusted.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] g4rvd4:
Here's a list of Apt-X supported devices:

[Galaxy S III Accessories] Hampa_D:
to bad the nokia one don't have interchangable headphones. as of now i think it's only the samsung hs3000 and another one how has this.

and for me this is a BIG dealbreaker.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] radeonxt:
another thing is how compatible those nokia play stop forward controls are on samsung units music player.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] g4rvd4:
I'm moving in the direction of ditching calls through headset altogether and using it only for music.

With this in mind I am considering the Sennheiser PX 210 BT and the PX 360 BT. Sound quality on both is extremely good. Price is a little above my budget but I can try to accommodate. I have searched the whole internet and I found these most suitable for my (updated) needs.

Edit: I've decided on the PXC 310 BT which has noise cancellation also.

[Galaxy S III Accessories] lensgrabber:
Just noting that the Sony Wireless Headset Pro uses it's own app located in the Play Store. Not much detail out there yet. Expansys-USA is supposed to be shipping them in three days so if anyone out there decides to give it a go please report back and let us know what you think.

i love my Beats Audio wireless bluetooth headset! expensive, but totally worth it!
[Galaxy S III Accessories] currydude:
What are people's thoughts on the Sennehesier PX360 BT and the MM500-X. Looking at getting one of them, both have very similar prices but the only difference I can see is that the PX360 - BT has SRS (LOL?) and MM500-X has microphone. I will not be using the microphone. So which one do you guys recommend I should go with?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] rferrett:
I think I may have misunderstood something in the list on the last Page. Is the HS3000 apx thingy compatible?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] g4rvd4:
The SRS feature is useless according to a lot of reviewers. PX360 doesn't have noise cancellation which is a really awesome feature. I got myself the PXC 310 BT and the only thing it doesn't have is a microphone for calls. But I can live with that. The noise cancellation is my favourite feature, so check that out before you buy.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] currydude:
The thing I really dislike about the PXC 310 BT is that it's on-ear instead of over ear.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] ilordvader:
Hopeing this year we will have a Bluethooth Headset with.....

8hrs+ of TALK TIME

[Galaxy S III Accessories] g4rvd4:
Trust me, it's extremely comfortable and noise cancellation and isolation is excellent too.

Also one advantage of on ear phones is that it doesn't make your ear hot and sweaty like the over ear types.

Question for the HS3000 users:

I'm looking for something like the PXC 310 BT but that I can have conversations on too.

If I get it right, I could get the HS3000 and plug in some decent wired cans and have all I want, right? (Since the mic seems to be on the main part of the HS3000?)
[Galaxy S III Accessories] gavinfabl:
Just charged my old jabra bt3030, doubt it has apt-x but just tried it with the free Samsung headphones that came with the S3. Sounds ok actually, but my friend has the Samsung HS3000 with the S3 and says it is much better.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] g4rvd4:
Yeah you can use the PXC 310 BT wired with the HS 3000... But then you can just as well get the PXC 310 if you're going to use it wired all the time and save a few bucks..

If you want the all in one from Sennheiser then consider the MM 450 X.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] beren:
thanks a lot, seems hs3000 is the best choice for new buyer
[Galaxy S III Accessories] fergusstrachan:
Ah, so the 450X have a mic; I didn't notice that.

Sounds like the wired 310s and the HS3000 would do the job nicely then. £170 instead of £300. I like the sound of that. :-)

Thanks.

Samsung HS3000 review

http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2388655,00.asp

Cons

Mediocre sound quality. Cable thump when walking or exercising.

as i do like to exercise jog and such and also i have read here about another poster where his hs3000 was making random calls because it got grounded probably from sweat.

based on pics it is really prone to water in this case sweat to get in because of those music player controls and entry points for the water on the sides.

regarding that mediocre sound quality, i've seen articles of both hs3000 and hm3700 during those years and they all haven't mentioned apt-x giving good stereo on bluetooth. so they are wrong on that one.

Samsung HM3700 review

http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2388654,00.asp

Bluetooth range was average; I could walk about 10 feet away from my handset before hearing audible artifacts in the music.

that may be true for the old versions which had bluetooth 2.1 + edr, mine has bluetooth 3.0. i tested it and i was 30 feet away that's roughly about 10 meters and music was still playing clear without any stutters. any further than that then the music stops playing.

if you've seen the pics you might be worried that this will be hanging unlike the hs3000 which has a clip, no need to worry because it includes a shirt clip.

[Galaxy S III Accessories] fineas:
I've been using the HS3000 for a couple of days now with my S3 and I'm impressed. I do sometimes have to look at the buttons to make sure I'm pressing the right one.

I've also installed the "Automatic Bluetooth Toggle" app on my S3 which I've set to turn off Bluetooth 5 minutes after the HS3000 disconnects, to save battery.

Also on a side note does any one know how to determine which codec is being used by Android when Bluetooth is in action?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] giotecno:
Guys I bought a Sennheiser PX360BT for £98 as it was the last one in stock at a hifi store. It supports APT-X and all I can say is WOW for the sound and build quality. The only thing with these type of headphones is the bulk element, I personally do prefer them to be thinner and smaller but it was too good to miss out. I was stuck between the PX210BT and this and with similar prices I thought it was a no brainer. I didnt need a microphone or any call features. But I am happy

I've a set of those Jaybird Freedoms and they sound terrible. I'm not even an audiophile/internet audiophile but I gave up on them after a couple weeks and reverted to cabled earphones. A massive waste of money.

There used to be a video on their website which explained how they had tweaked the freedoms to lower the top end (and some other stuff I forget) in order to prevent 'listener fatigue' while exercising for hours on end however in practice that just means crappy sound. Not even bass heavy, just crap all round.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] liamR:
Hi guys,

What do you think about the the Phiaton PS 20 BT ? It's the first "audiophile" BT IEMs.

Phiaton is a well known in the audiophile community. It has BT v3.0 but according to Phiaton it doesn't support Apt-X.

I think it's better to have a HQ sound than Apt-x support, don't you think ?

If the Phiaton BT receiver supports BT v3.0 bandwidth (24MB/s) and the SGS3 supports it too, doesn't it mean that I can play lossless audio even if it doesn't have Apt-X ?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] jlomein:
In regards to choosing HQ sound over Apt-X support, doesn't the Samsung HS3000 make this a moot point?

The Samsung HS3000 has Apt-X, and you can use ANY wired headphones you want with a 3.5mm jack. I would assume that with Apt-X on the HS3000, there are many combinations of high end wired headphones that would sound better than the Phiaton PS 20 BT.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] liamR:
It depends on the quality of the receiver too, doesn't it ?

With all my respect to Samsung, they aren't specialize in HQ audio.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] toddmworth:
No. After the various layers of software encoding (bluetooth, MP3, AptX, PCM, whatever), the electrical signal has to be converted to analog voltages which represent and eventually control the movement of your driver (speaker) A DAC does it, and all DACs are not made the same. After that, in order to make the signal strong enough to actually move the driver, you have to amplify it. Again, all amps are not equal. If the converter or amp in the Sammy HS3000 is junk, (see also: SGS2) then it sends junk to your headphones no matter how good they are and no matter what quality was the data you passed over bluetooth.

I would take quality conversion of a more lossy codec, rather than the other way, because at least it's an accurate representation of crap sound, which is actually better quality than an inaccurate representation of *anything*....
[Galaxy S III Accessories] liamR:
According to Phiaton the PS 20 BT can play any lossless file without losing quality as long as your phone (the source) supports BT v3.0 or higher.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] rferrett:
One thing that I have noticed is if I use a Bluetooth game controller AND my HS3000 there is a noticeable time delay.
