The best Bluetooth headphones, are Aftershokz Trekz Titanium. If you're looking for headphones with great sound that won't block the outside world, then they are the way to go.

The new ones are made of titanium, and are no longer using that flimsy plastic from the blues.

The bone-conduction and premium pitch plus technology is technology that is one-of-a-kind. That is, the technology that gives bone conduction a boost up the ladder, still allowing basey audio, as opposed to the stereotypical treble edge to bone-conduction predecessors, while still remaining completely open-ear. Combine that with Bluetooth, and you've got a high price. Keep in mind that before Bluetooth 4.0, or technically 3.0 which is hardly used, bluetooth headphones would suffer latency and sound leakage. That's not a case with Aftershokz, as well as bone-conduction transducers that do not suffer leakage. That's probably why it's expensive. It is durable. Even though the silicone is starting to peel off one of the transducers, that's probably a defect that isn't supposed to happen, especially the day right after receiving them! With that in mind, the 2 year warranty is definitely to be taken advantage of. Getting the headphones from any authorized distributor, virtually anything except Ebay, entitles you to a free, 2 year warranty activated on the AFtershokz site. A fair warning, you will be asked for the serial number of your device, which is in fine-print on the unit itself so you will need someone with working eyeballs to read it for you.

So how does the boze compair to other speakers? What is the most accessible speaker? What is the best sounding speaker? If price was no object, what is the best option? If price is a major limit, what is a the best option there? I am trying to get a good feel of the market for these. I am also trying to figure out if I messed up by buying the speaker that I bought this past week even though it hasn't arived yet. As for bluetooth head sets, I am still giving that some thought seeing that it will soon be time for me to go out and buy my new phone. That of course, is a month if not more away, but still...

I've got a Jambox Mini, which talks and announces the battery level a the touch of a button. It makes a sound when a device connects and each button feels different, so it's very easy to use.
For sound quality though, I've also got a soundblaster roar. This is an absolute beast, what it lacks in speech synthesis, it makes up for in the quality of the music. Very bassy and loud and there's even a mode that makes it even more bassy! There are also different bluetooth modes, one device, two devices or a sort of free for all that switches out when one person pauses and another plays, it switches between them.
However, pretty much all the buttons feel the same so you have to learn what stuff does what and memorize it, as a result my favourite is the Jambox purely because it's so easy to use and it has battery announcements.

LOL. That clearly fits my price is no object list for sure jack. For $1500, it better be good. rofl. aaron, I am not as big into base as I am more into how it sounds, although, I would like to give those speakers a listen. Simba, Those clearly sound interesting from the comments you gave. Does anyone know where I can go to give all of the speakers a listen? Listening to them over my computer speakers is really no good. Over the years, I sort of got picky about how things sound, or at least sense I have learn that you get what you paid for when it comes to sound. Another thing I learn to look into is how the audio gets to the speaker in question. For example wire is better to the speaker than bluetooth, but bluetooth is more portable. Another factor I take into account is how good of audio I am sending to the speaker. There is a point where the audio is just as good over bluetooth as it is over the wire. Of course there is the question of how good my amp and dac is too. As you can see, I enjoy stuff that sounds great, then good, and then pretty good. Just wish i could pay for it all right off of the bat. LOL.

The jambox and soundblaster roar were shown to me over Teamtalk, I think they seem quite rare, I never saw them in stores over her in the UK.

Hi all,

Well, let's go over all the Bluetooth gear I've accumulated over the years. I've got a set of the original Aftershokz which I don't really use anymore. I thought they were kind of cool, but the audio quality combined with the audio leakage turns me off the brand. I don't know if the price was justified and won't buy another pair from this company unless I have a very good reason. I have the Logitech H800 which is pretty cool. Unfortunately, I lost the little USB dongle and the microphone is broken. Still, it's not a bad little headset with both Bluetooth and Logitech's proprietary wireless protocol. I've got the Easy ACC Olive speaker which cost me $20. In my opinion, this is the best speaker I've purchased. For that extremely low price I get a decent sounding speaker with Bluetooth, aux input for a patch cord, an FM radio, and a micro SD slot. I think it only plays MP3 files though. You cannot navigate within files, only from file to file. It also supports USB flash drives with MP3 files on them. While i'm not an audio freak, I think the sound it produces is good enough for my needs. Next, I have the Amazon Echo. I like that Alexa tells you that it is connected to the device and actually reads the device name. Finally, I have the Blue Tiger SoundTrax headset from www.atguys.com which works extremely well. The headset supports Bluetooth, aux input for wired devices, and a Micro SD reader.

I've got two Bluetooth transmitters that plug into any headphone jack. These are useful for my Stream and any other devices that don't natively support Bluetooth. The first is the Miccus Minijack TX4 which is a transmitter that can stream to two receivers simultaneously. I haven't been able to get the duel streaming to work with the Echo and any other of my devices. I'm not sure if it's something that's incompatible with the Echo. Fortunately, it does seem to work with everything else I have. The second device I have is the Avantek BRZ-8 which is a transmitter/receiver combo. If set to transmitter mode, it transmits anything connected through the patch cord to a Bluetooth device. When set to receiver mode, it receives Bluetooth signals from any transmitter like a phone or computer and sends the audio to the device connected to the 3.5 mil jack. For example, I paired the TX4 to the Avantek which was connected to a pair of desktop computer speakers that are not natively Bluetooth. This means I can use my Stream with a great pair of speakers that would otherwise require me to be stationary due to the cable on the speakers. The only downside to these devices is that they have lights that indicate what's going on. Since I am completely blind, I have had to learn to count and wait a specific number of seconds when working with them. However, they are awesome when they work. I especially love ow I can use both of them at once. As you might imagine, these have infinite possibilities. My dad has a tape car adapter that sends audio from a 3.5 mil jack to the car stereo system through the tape deck. If I wanted to, I could connect the Avantek to the tape adapter and broadcast Bluetooth signals from a phone or the TX4 to the car stereo wirelessly.

Hi.
Yeah, it's a shame that amazon doesnt seem to care about the other regions than the united states, I'd love to have that thing over here.

multiroom audio is something I got to try at some time in my life. I do find it hard to believe that that something that works over wireless and that uses ones and zeros to get the audio to each speaker works all that well. Wish I could see that in action myself. Anyway, the Polaris V8 speaker that I order came in yesterday. It sound ok for the money I paid for it. The FM tuner reminds me of something along the lines of a cheap FM receiver when it comes to range, but I haven’t played with it enough to be sure. Yes, It gets local stations, but there is no presets of any kind. I haven’t played anything off of a micro SD card yet, but from what I have read, that is like using a very basic MP3 player as in all you got is prev play/pause and next for getting through your music. It does have a line in that I haven’t tested yet. I haven’t tested it as a USB speaker yet. On the other hand, it does, to some degree, let your music be heard. In short, it works best as a Bluetooth speaker.

There actually is a chrome plugin for vlc, and that can be used to broadcast vlc on the chromecast.

Hi,
The trekz titaniums are amazing, I'm just going to second that.
I've been using mine very happily ever since they were released.
Thanks,

Daniel
