Question 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. 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

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.
