G+_Nick Gailfus Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 Making the switch back to Android after being on iPhone for over 2 years. A lot has changed since my Motorola Droid. Anyone recommend good sport headphones corded or cordless that work well with Android with controls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Jon Decker Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 So... Phillips brand makes a couple, but I have to warn you, Mac changed the grounding pin position of their headphones jack a couple years ago and most headphones manufacturers followed suit. Basically, it's a bit more difficult to find headphones that contain a Mic and the interrupt controls for media volume, play-pause, and skipping that work on non-mac products. If you find one that works for all that, can you let me know. I burned out on the search a year ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Nick Gailfus Posted November 17, 2013 Author Share Posted November 17, 2013 I'm thinking I should have just ordered the headphones Motorola sells as an accessory with my Moto X. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Jon Decker Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 I don't know. You're looking for a pair that'll stay in while running, but my pre-requisites for good headphones include things like being able to handle extreme cold temperatures and comfort while sleeping on a plane. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Allen L. Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 Personally I listen to podcasts and music all day long and I find Bose in ear are the most comfortable and sound better for phone calls than any bluetooth headphones I've tried.

G+_Randy Frimet Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 I use LG Tone HBS-700. They are in the ear stereo bluetooth that sit on your neck. I've had them for a year and they play well with android. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_William Deboer Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 Randy Frimet i put these on my birthday list... where i work there are about 80 ppl and half carry these... only seen a few ppl with corded headphones. the 700s tend to get better reviews for music quality than the 720s, which tend to have better call quality. Leo Laporte said on one of his shows he would order a pair for review after a caller mentioned them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Philip Lucas Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 The LG Tone 730s are great BT option. I use them for biking and around the house. Great range if not blocked by wall. Able to sync with 2 devices at same time. Great battery life. Not sure about running. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Brian M. Ross Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 Personally, I'd stay away from in-ear buds just for the problem of hearing your own footsteps. Sennheiser makes a damn nice headphone... Check out http://en-de.sennheiser.com/headset-smartphones-over-ear-hd-335s Don't know your budget... So don't freak out if they are too expensive. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G+_Dennis O'Neil Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 I'm making the exact same transition. Had the original Motorola Droid, switched to the iPhone 4, and now I've just ordered a Moto X. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
