Default [Q] Better bluetooth stereo quality
Got a pair of bluetooth headphones to use while I am riding my bike. The audio quality is very poor, is there anything I can do to improve it? Drivers, fixes etc.

What set did you get? I use the Plantronics Backbeat 9xx (913 i think) and the quality is fine (and I'm pretty picky with audio quality). It also adds track skip, volume, mic right at the earpieces. Perfect for workouts.

Not yet (maybe not ever?). The problem is with the bluetooth drivers that Samsung uses. Apparently they have a low bitpool value hardcoded, which means bad sound quality for the end user. I was very much frustrated with the sound quality myself (coming from ipod touch which had crystal-clear lagless bluetooth audio) but there is nothing we can do ATM.

The only fix is a part of CyanogenMod, as far as I know. I think some devs are working on (or will be working on) bringing CM to Charge, but when or if it'll happen is yet to be seen.


Take a look here for more info:

Good to know. I had a feeling that it was a poor driver issue. I have the motorola sd90. just get muffled sound and really poor bass. I get pretty good sound out of them from my laptop so I guess it's more of the phone.
