I have the BT8010. I've had it for about 7 to 8 months now, maybe longer.

I really do not like the headset at all. It has great sound so don't get me wrong. If sound is all you are interested in then go for it. But if you are looking for fit or the ear loops to stay on then they aren't the ones.

For me, the fit for me is horrible and the headset hurts because I have small ears.

SECOND and this is the BIGGEST LET DOWN, the ear loops keep falling out.

So if you get it go ahead and call and order some extras right away. You can contact them via phone I think and they will send you a few. Just keep one in your wallet and one in the car and some @ home, and some in your briefcase.

The ear loops fall out way too easy for my tastes. I'm currently looking for another set of A2DB enabled headsets.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Accessories] olafl:
I use it for some 4 month. Mostly monoaural. It's ok, but...

Pros: VERY good sound quality (noise reduction, environment supression), good battery lifetime (up to 3 days), clear display, handy controls.

Cons: the ear hanger (? sorry for my english) slips out from the unit causing unit to fall, fast dial numbers are too short (cannot add cell codes e.g. enabling my phone number identification before dial number), does not fit perfectly into the ear - the sound is good when I puch it with my finger toward my ear, but listening to the music is a bit painful (not full spectrum due to distance between speaker and ear-hole that cannot be, at least in my case, adjusted).

Overall: good design/performance. Better quality then BT800 (my previous earphone). Cannot be securely and properly adjusted toward ear.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Accessories] ChInEsE ChIcKeN:
has anyone got more insight on this headset... i am looking in purhcasing it.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Accessories] Bronx31:
I use the 8010. The only complaint I had was the ear hook kept falling out, like the poster above. What I did was to superglue the hook in. Now, it doesn't fall, and it fit tighter to the ear, making it better to hear conversations and music. I lost one of the hooks before, and when I called jabra to order another set of hooks, they sent me out a Free pair, no ? asked, so support is great. Now, you can find the headset at a very good price. I paid $100 for mines, you can find them for $40-60.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Accessories] sna:
Jabra BT8010 connection

I also have problems with the ear loop falling out. But it's not that often.

What I find annoying is that it doesn't automatically connect to my HTC prophet as stereo headphones when I switch the Jabra to music mode. I have to manually go into bluetooth settings and click on Jabra BT8010 to set as stereo headphones. Does anyone have a fix for this? If I don't do the above steps, AVRCP is able to work, but music will still come out of the phone. It would be nice if I can just listen to music with a push of the mode button without having to fumble for my phone.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Accessories] JstarLuvsTina:
i have em .. and to be honest i cant really complain

the only problem ive actually had is like everyone else has mentioned...the ear loop comming off..but thats so small in comparison to what they have to offer.

imo :

the sync from my car to my home bt system is awesome!

the clarity is superb

volume, settings, caller id and the phonebook work flawlessly..and to top it off i got em off of ebay for 25 bucks brand new with a reciept..

cant beat it!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Accessories] psyfreak:
i ahve jabra bt620s and sound is too low, how can i increase the sound on bt headset :rolleyes:
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Accessories] dc59:
the best bluetooth I know so far is Itech. They don't sell here but you can find it on ebay. A2DP, bluetooth stereo, cliping on you cloth, looks like a ipod shuttle on you collar.

This will be my first usb type c device. I'm sure a lot of you are upgrading from the original pixel. Can you guys recommend cables and chargers that you have used that you liked? I'm sure there are a bunch of people in my situation it can help to stock up on this stuff before the phone comes. And yes I know there is a list of approved cables, etc.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] scandalousk:
I'd look at Anker or Aukey for chargers. They should have a couple PD-2 chargers. They also sell the required cables.

The Pixel 2 XL will come with cables and a charger in the box though.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] civiksi:
Thanks. I know it comes with some. Just trying to figure out work, bedroom, etc.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] moobieboobie:
Make sure the cables you buy have a 56k ohm resistor.

[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] ninotorpedo:
https://www.anker.com/products/variant/PowerPort-Speed-1-USB-C-Port-/A2014112

Purchase via Amazon or store, whichever you prefer. It's the one that charges the phone rapidly with Power Delivery.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] Redrockzz:
what do you guys think about chinese usb type c cables? any experiences?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] Diokhan91:
Thanks! Do they have a EU compatible one?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] iazybandit:
I would never get a cheap Chinese/no name version. From what I've read, if it doesn't have a 56ohm resistor, it has damaged phones.

You can also check on Amazon and read reviews from those who have purchased. Not worth saving a few bucks to potentially damage your $900+ phone.

I've never seen a EU version. I could be wrong. You can just the US version and get a plug converter.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] Redrockzz:
But would my old Samsung (S7Edge) quickcharge charger work with it? Fast charging wouldnt work but am i able to just charge it?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] iazybandit:
If its OEM, I don't think there will be any issues. I'm sure people may have multiple USB-C items and I'm sure these news outlet and reviewers have multiple USB-C cables and plugs that they just use the same one over and over.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] abogrhen:
DO not get any usb c cable/charger so many of them don't follow the standards

Only get one that has been tested

bad cables and charger in best case can charge slowly

in worst case can damage the phone or explode

follow https://plus.google.com/collection/s0Inv

and only use good cables

from the top of my head, the good ones are from

As far as I can tell, Benson Leung finds issues with every Aukey product he reviews. I'm contemplating the BlitzWolf BW-S10, as I've had no issues with the BW-S5 or BW-CB3, and their reputation appears to be clean. The supplied cable is USB-C to USB-C, right?

[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
I wonder if I did the right thing here. I don't have a PC with a USB C connection, so rather than purchasing a cable - since I have a bunch of MicroUSB cables my roommate bought 18 months ago - I purchased a 3-pack of MicroUSB to USB C adapters (Amazon.com). I've already used them for transferring data to the Pixel 2 XL without incident, but I also had the adapter connected to a pre-smartphone Blackberry MicroUSB cable. Let me hear your opinion here. Would you do what I did and purchase adapters, or would you have instead purchased a cable?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] jbarcus81:
Should work.. don't get hung up on having a PC with a built-in USB-C port. I have one.. and it doesn't work with the Pixel 2 XL .. I don't have any other devices to test, but there are others around here on XDA with the same issue.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] fullmetal509:
anyone try these?

https://www.hellonomad.com/universal-usb-c-cable
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
Oh don't misunderstand me. The ports on my laptop aren't what I was concerned about, since there are USB A to USB C cables available, just like what the Pixel and Pixel XL use. I just wondered whether the adapters were a good idea to use, or whether buying a USB A to USB C cable was a better option.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] jbarcus81:
I mean, if the adapters will save you from having to buy additional cables, and saves money I don't see any harm in that. I personally keep a ton of USB-C to USB-A cables around .. just in case ;)
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
They definitely saved me from buying new cables for sure. I haven't tried using them in my car to charge the P2XL, even though they are supposedly rated for it. With my usage pattern the device is still at 40% most days when I head to bed.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] Deeco7:
Are there any good Type A to C multipack cables, like the ones Anker? thanks
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] emylive:

[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
I saw that one when shopping for a 6' cable, and decided against it. With a $1K phone before discounts I'm not about to go cheap on a charging cable. I went with an Anker.

Now, if we're talking data transfer, I went with Micro USB female to USB C male adapter that sits on the end of a Blackberry data cable. That works fine.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] streebs87:
Hey everyone!

I thought I'd put in my two cents and share my experience with a Usb-c cord I just purchased.

[USB-IF Certified] Cable Matters USB C to USB C Charging Cable (USB C Charge Cable/USB C Power Cable/USB-C Charger Cable) w/100W Power Delivery White (111-7554245-8781033)

That's the one I just recently purchased from Amazon. I had a Cable Matters Usb-c cord back when I had my 6P and I loved it. Great quality, certified, and decently priced. However, I will be returning this recent one.

While it looks and feels like a top quality product, it doesn't properly plug into my phone. When you plug in it, it feels as if it didn't go in all the way, and then proceeds to feel loose and can be moved and wiggled around quite a bit. I plugged in my cord that came with the phone, and that plugs in nice and tightly and doesn't move around at all.

I am not sure I want a replacement because I'm afraid it will just happen again. I honestly just need a 6ft Usb-c to Usb-c cord that is verified and has PD to rapidily charge my phone. I've heard mixed things about Anker, but I may still try and go that direction next.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
No issues here with the P2XL rapid charging with the Anker 6' I purchased. The cable's specs are identical to the cable included with the P2XL.

Out of curiosity what have you heard regarding Anker cables?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] streebs87:
I just read some mixed reviews on Amazon concerning the quality of some of the cords.

Which one would you recommend?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] Badger50:
Fwiw, these are the ones I use without issue on my Windows 7 machine and P2XL :cool:

[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] rafael.rm.moreira:
Hello friends, I bought a new Pixel 2 XL behind a seller, the same sent an OEM charger sold at Amazon. Some users commend, and others speak poorly. I plan on paying $ 35 and buy the official charger directly from the Google store. I do not think of paying for an Aukey or Choetech at the moment. Despite being great chargers, compatible with PD 18w. Is this Type C Type C cable from Google that comes with the charger good? I visualized type C 3.1 cables with certification recommended by a Google engineer, plus the cable itself of the company do not know if it is good.

About the OEM loader that I have, it would be the one according to the link ..

You need a usb type c 3.0, remember don't buy a usb type c 2.0... pixel 2 xl can't transfer data with type 2.0..

There are a lot difference between type 2.0 and type 3.0... it's important!
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] Le_Combattant:
Hi everybody,

I received my Pixel 2XL (I had a 6P before) and this phone is just amazing and look amazing (I have Panda version)

But I'm looking for a charger with a lower amperage to protect my battery and increase battery life.

But as the fashion is to have the fasted charge, it's quite hard to found it.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
I wouldn't worry about that too much. The 9V, 3A rating doesn't cause the device to heat up any more than the 5V, 2A rating. Therefore it shouldn't appreciably affect battery life throughout the expected two year cycle of the device.

For the last five years chargers have all been 5V, 2A with a MicroUSB adapter. It's no surprise you can't find anything as USB-C power delivery is what the P2XL uses rather than Qualcomm Quick Charge. You would need a MicroUSB to USB-C adapter to use one of the older adapters with the P2XL, and it simply isn't worth the headache. Most of these adapters are not rated for use with chargers, being intended for data cables.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] theelle:
hi, i have a pixel 2 xl and i have a question. i have two possibilites for charging phone:

- this power bank ravpower with a sony cable usb a to c

- this power bank ravpower but with original type c to c cable from google came with phone;

what is better for battery? i don't mind rapid charge because i usually charging phone during sleep with power bank because when phone arrives to 100% the pb stop charging and current to phone (like i unplug the charger) so battery doesn't overcharge.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] Le_Combattant:
Charge phone all the night is bad for the battery.

Because even a phone is off, it consume battery. And at a certain level, charge restart and this all the night.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] theelle:
as i said in the previous post, my power bank STOP charging devices plugged in, and never charge they again even if they goes down a certain level.

that's why prefer charge phone with power bank.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] Deeco7:
Yeh, it looks like a dud. I would contact Amazon CS, and see what they say. They may refund you and from there you can purchase in directly from Google Store.

Since you bought the phone from Amazon and from a seller, I don't think you can claim through Google Store, worth a punt tho.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] rafael.rm.moreira:
I bought the device in the hand of a salesman, and so did the Amazon invoice to trigger Google store in case of problems related to the device. I will purchase an original charger directly from the Google store. The question would be as follows, device purchased on Amazon is entitled to the guarantee directly with Google or Amazon?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] theelle:
anyone can help me?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] Yasharkhan:
The second option. Using the original USB c cable from Google is the best option. Otherwise you can go with Anker's USB c cable. Tronsmart also make good USB c cables. Using tronsmart usb c cable for almost a year now.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] Le_Combattant:
The main difference are the capacity.

but i will double check if its bad i will remove it
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] Elnrik:
If you want a charger that you know will work, I'd suggest this...

It's not hard.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] Minisungam:
Pretty sure the point is to find one that is the same or of similar quality for a cheaper price.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] Elnrik:
Oh sure, I get that. Playing USB charger/cable russian roulette with a $900 device just to save $10 just seems like a poor choice.

Of course, but I think this is how some people are able to ease the pain of such a large purchase like that. And when we have reputable sources like Benson Leung telling us whats safe and how to identify things that are safe it makes discussions like this fun and also helps pass the time of waiting for our $900 phones :p

I am a fan of Tronsmart Wall Charger. It is by no means PD capable (18w) but it does charge at "Fast Charging" (15w) state.

I've had the W2PTE for over a year and a half without issue. Am able to charge my iPad Air 2 as well as my Nexus 6P (3A) at full speeds.

I would like to charge my Pixel 2 XL at PD Speeds (18w) - I might end up getting the Aukey PA-Y10 https://www.amazon.com/AUKEY-Charger-Delivery-MacBook-Nintendo/dp/B074C2VZ2T/

$40 is a bit on the more pricey side, however for me it's about an all-in-one solution and not having to carry an extra iPad charger with me. Otherwise I would just get the OEM Google Charger

[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] HankStorm:
Do you think this list is up to date? Reason I ask is because all the Anker products seem to score very low and I was under the impression that their products were looked upon very favorably.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] Hoodeddeathman:
Don't be fooled with some brands of USB C cables, Aukey for example is no different from a lot of other Chinese cable sellers, in a lot of cases they use the same wholesaler for example:

I receive and test a lot of cables from Amazon sellers and the one above carried power very poorly losing a third of the power transmitted, so for a 15W charger the phone only received 10W. Anker has always been a strong third party seller and they don't do paid for reviews like Aukey. I realise this sounds like a paid for post by Anker now but to put your mind at ease I've never received one of their products for free.

I have received Inateck products for free and honestly they are the only seller I've reviewed that does decent quality gear, their USB C PD 45W charger does exactly what it's supposed to and it comes with a very long high quality cable, the best part is it's cheaper than a lot of OEM chargers and just as good, will charge your pixelbook, mac book, whatever book at 45W and your phone at 18W with no loss. I've had Choetech, Aukey, Rophie, Luoriz, Wofalo, Boomile and more that I can't care to remember and none of them are really up to snuff. Multipacks are usually always a no go. Cheap thin or aluminium conductors are almost always to blame. Their USB A to C and USB C to C are pretty good too, just check for the copper properties like the cable retaining its shape after bending, braiding and gold plating rarely equates to a good quality cable too.
