Bluetooth headphones for music possible?

wolvie77 · Apr 6, 2012

Hi! All. is it possible to use bluetooth headphones to listen to music with the galaxy tab? any compatibility issues i should be looking out for before buying if its possible to use.

Even better, the 7.7 supports the APT-X Bluetooth codec/profile, which sounds noticeably better than regular A2DP. Of course you need a receiver that supports APT-X as well.

I picked up an LG Tone Bluetooth headset.

It allows phone calls (with my tablet or my EVO) and can be used as a stereo headset for videos, music, etc.

Battery lasts a long time and works great for me.

I have the same set.
It's a decent set for all the features but in terms music quality, i think it lacks a bit (soundstage and mid/low range)

Vibration on incoming call is pretty awesome

oddly enough, i don't see apt-x listed under audio for 7.7 LTE

wait a min... dkft from abi?

Yep, dfkt from ABI.

(The nick without underscore was already taken by some imposter... grrr.)

It says APT-X in the official specs, under audio codecs: http://www.samsung.com/global/microsite/galaxytab/7.7/spec.html?type=find - I haven't tried it yet myself, but I sure hope Sammy doesn't lie.

It just says streaming LOL

Have you tried any of the higher end bluetooth headphones like sennheiser mm 550-x or 450-x? I'm actually looking for a decent headphone with phone call capability and noise cancelling for travelling

Hmm, I doubt that the hardware is different in the Verizon version - also, APT-X can be both AFAIK, either hardware- or software-wise implemented. Maybe it's just a firmware difference, or maybe they just didn't write down the whole specs.

Nah, haven't tried those Senns - do they support APT-X? (So far my only experience with APT-X was on the Creative Zen X-Fi 3 with a small Samsung APT-X adapter/receiver, and my regular IEMs plugged in. The sound quality was pretty much as good as wired, to my ears.)

They do
You're probably right on the specs but it's odd that they didn't mention it specifically for the us release.

Hopefully they didn't trade it for the IR port

@ph00ny Yes, it appears they both support it. Thanks, ^jc #GalaxyTab

I use a set of Sony DR-BT21G headphones. They are excellent but alas they were discontinued a few years ago and Sony never brought out a followup model :-(

The only real drawback to them is lack of USB charging - they use a silly 3.3V Sony charger (which I think was also used for minidisc players, perhaps why they chose it as maybe they originally thought to make it for MD players).

I plan on using my Motorola S10 HD when I get my tab. They work really well with my xoom currently.

Anyone has review on the following product by Plantronic ?

It's a lightweight and tangle-free bluetooth earphone

but of course audio quality is not perfect

but sufficient

A nice headset that allows you to use any wired buds or cans you like.
