Bluetooth Audio Headset & other question(s)

[Cody21]

This whole Bluetooth thing is new to me ... 

1. Does a Bluetooth headphone set (for music only - don't need a mic for phone calls) require a Battery(s) to operate? If so, how often do you have to replace the battery(s)  say for 1 hour per day of use?

2. Anyone recommend a very good headphone set that is comfortable & great sound? Do I have to buy something specific for the DX from Verizon? Moto?  Or can I walk into any store and buy a Bluetooth Audio headphone and expect it to work? I *really* don't want to spend $150+ for decent headphones.

3. Are there any "gotchas" using Bluetooth for Audio music?  e.g., sound quality issues? interference? 

Thanks in advance.

There is stereo bluetooth headsets that can be used just for audio listing but most bluetooths are made for phone handsfree use, if you want to listen to audio through bluetooth you have to verify the headset support A2DP profile for streaming audio.

Basically all bluetooths can be used but it is a prefrence of what bluetooth works for you but I use Motorola H720 from http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Motorola+-+H720+Bluetooth+Headset+-+Black/9755234.p?id=1218167395767&sku...

$59.99

Your streaming audio wirelessly and the quality can reflect this, if you want the better level of audio through a bluetooth give this a look at http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Rocketfish%26%23153%3B+Mobile+-+Mobile+Behind-the-Head+Bluetooth+Stereo+...

I have both the Motorola S305 and the S9HD. Both have excellent sound, but the S9HD is the ear plug versus foam and has two settings for audio available for equalization. The S305 is available from Verizon. I bought the S9HD for use in the gym from Best buy. I had the rocketfish version but it only lasted a month and I returned to get the S9HD which had a better sound.

Thanks for the recommendations ... I'll go have a look at those..

Do they require batteries to operate?

[Wildman · Accepted solution]

Yes but mostly all bluetooths are rechargeable and comes with a charger.

@IdHiker --  I bought the MOTO S305  ... Awesome !!   Really nice headset and the sound is really great to me.  I don't care for the ear bud style of headsets, so these fit perfectly. 

Thanks for your input.
