Need help deciding which bluetooth headphone to get

[tallshorty]

Hi everyone

I need help choosing between 2 bluetooth stereo headphones:

1) Sony Ericson HBH-DS970
-$60 CAD used from someone local (he claims it is not a fake)
2) Jabra BT8010
-about $110-140 CAD on eBay

I am having a hard time deciding between the two.

Are they both equally compatible with the Hermes? Which one has better sound quality when playing music?

Please help me decide or a different BT headphone that you think is better.

Thanks

I just tried out the SE DS970 and I was not impressed with the audio quality. there was no skipping because I used Sleuth's patch and I tried all the BT quality settings using the HTCtweak but the audio quality was poor compared to the OEM USB headphones. I am certain it was not a fake. Is that normal sound quality on the Hermes?

I hope someone can comment on this.

There are two threads with extensive discussion on the SE HBH-DS970 and also some on the Jabra 8010

Try these.

I personally use the SonyEricsson and am very happy with the quality. The bass is particularly good.

I have not tried the Sony, but looking at the comments and the ergonomy of the headphone, it may provide better bass than the BT8010.
The BT8010 sound is well balanced with good bass, but the reason I am using it is that it is flexible. it can convert from a headset to a headphone very easily.

When used as a headset, you can get A2DP sound in your ear including phone ring, Voice command and system sounds.
It has also a vibrate function so you can put it in your pocket and still get those phone calls.
No compatibility issue whatsoever with Hermes.

For best sound on the go I am using the superwifi5 with BT320s or simple cable adaptor cable as Sling Video has some trouble to keep up with WiFi and BT A2DP at the same time
