Stereo bluetooth?
 

Do you have a stereo bluetooth headset, if so what kind? Or do you just listen to all your music via traditional wired stuff? Doesn't wired = superior sound quality?

I have a Plantronics stereo bluetooth and also that Motorola headset... S9hd or something like that. They work okay but I don't walk anywhere and I have helmet speaker set-up.:idk: I do think wired CAN sound the best depending on how much money you want to spend...

I'm hoping that you are right, I just dropped a small fortune on helmet speakers

Yea they don't give that crap away do they?:lol:

I have one from Motorola that works pretty well for music (sound quality is middle of the road I'd say). I also use this one to talk on the phone though if I'm in a noisy area it picks up everything around me (except me) so I switch to something that has a wire and a mic.

I use a wire setup in my helmet.

You mean the person you're talking to gets alot of noise, right? But if you want to avoid that, you should use a good 1-ear bluetooth like the Jawbone, because I don't think any wired earbuds have decent noise-cancelling, do they?

Yeah the person on the other end gets all the noise.

I find I go through regular one ear Bluetooth devices like water and end up with something with a wire anyhow.

Same here. I've found Bluetooth to be highly overrated personally. There's always interference, the battery is always dead, or I just plain can't find it.

Skullcandy > Bluetooth.

Me too, I have at least 5 BT headsets right now. The only one that I like at all is the Plantronics Voyager Pro.

It's a shame too because the potential is there for the technology to be killer. But when I cant put my phone in my back pocket without getting static in my headset it becomes a joke.

Yep, I had such a hard on for BT when it 1st came out! It is so cool when it works. I BT pics to my PC from my phone, I stream Pandora from my phone to my car stereo using BT but I'm always screwing with it and it never seems to works seemlessly...:idk: Oh well, maybe they'll get it right eventually....

I have a shit ass knock off set of those. eBay fucked me on that deal. Thought they were legit. Anyway...the sound on mine sucked. And I cant get my phones to find the headset anymore.

I got a sena smh10 at my house ready to install.

I have a set of these, my boss and Scrapegoat have them as well

The sound quality is great, plus they stay connected to my iPhone and don't get all jacked up like my old BT headphones. Phonecalls are reliable and have good sound on both ends.

Scrapegoat ordered a Scala Rider Q2 when we got back, and while it's a cool unit, it doesn't want to play music over BT from his iPhone or any adapter I have. Works fine for calls though.

^ where is the call mic for those?

It's on the left side, at the bottom where the bracket that goes behind your head attaches to the headphone, so pretty much as close to your mouth as it can be. It doesn't get any more wind noise than my phone itself or the two one-ear BT headsets do, and it's awesome for music. I run and sweat all over my rocketfish and it doesn't care, plus it holds a charge for a really long time. Also, it has full controls for audio using A2DP, but will work with any BT audio source. I really recommend them, especially after the shitty experience I had with both the motorola s9 and the HT820. They sell them at Best Buy.

Hmm, interesting. And you can't tell any diff in sound quality vs wired?

There's a little difference depending on the source, and the volume isn't as loud as earbuds but overall I'm very satisfied. Enough that when I dropped and boke my first pair I went and bought another the same day. I listen to music and video from my iPhone, two bluetooth broadcast adapters and a dongle for my laptop and all of them give me adequate performance through the headphones. Give them a try, I think they'll suit your needs.

Bear in mind I don't try to stuff these under a helmet and ride with them, they are for running, watching movies on my laptop and listening to music from my laptop/phone/iPod (through an adapter) while sitting or riding in a car. I would imagine they wouldn't work at all for riding.
