WHICH AD2p Headset?

Ok guys, so I patch the firmware to get AD2p....
What headset(s) do you guys like? Being able to use them for both audio AND phone calls is a must..... seamlessly is even better.
Recommendations?

I have an Atom and I have the motorola ht820s.
When I'm not driving, they are excellent for music/speech and answering calls seamlessly. Mini-usb charger(same as atom) is an added bonus for me.
Highly recommend.
(reason for not driving is that in cali, you can't wear headphones while driving, so I use regular BT hands free for when i'm in car)

Motorola HT820 headphones work great with my T-Mobile MDA. Here is my review at pocketnow.com. At the time of the review the A2DP fix for the MDA was not available, but once I installed A2DP, it worked like a charm.

The motos are good if you want a well integrated phone/stereo headset that has no issues with the wizard, but I sent mine back for replacement because they didn't compare to the HP FA303s (Logitech is the same thing) when it came to hifi sound and max volume. The motos exhibited a real noticable distortion in the high end frequencies when compared to the FA303s. I'm hoping I got a defective pair because I really liked how comfortable they were too.
Stay away from the IOgear stereo/phone headset. A friend of mine let me try his and while the fidelity and volume was even better than the HPs, there were serious bluetooth connection issues. I had to refresh the device in bluetooth settings every time I wanted to use it just to get it to pair up, and the phone headset never worked properly.

Do the HP/Logitech ones have full PHONE functionality as well? I want to be able to make/receive a phone call while listening to stereo music without having to dork around with taking off the phones, etc.

No, that is their downfall: no phone headset capability. That in a nutshell is why there's no perfect solution out there IMO...

G-SAT BTH 820
I just got the G-SAT BTH 820. They has a small bluetooth until which the headphones plug into (allowing any headphones with a 3.5mm jack) to work. The bluetooth unit has the media player controls and the mic and is quite small (think of a shorter IPOD shuffle). Volume is really good; sound quality good, though slight background noise. While there is a wire from the headphones to the bluetooth unit, you are still untethered from your PPC..and i prefer being able to use the really light headphones (since the bluetooth unit and controls are not in the headphone). A great value since they are only around $60.

BES102 + BES103
I have the BES102 bluetooth stereo headset. It's great value for money since, aside from the headset, it also comes with the BES103 bluetooth transmitter dongle which can be used with any audio source. The headset also comes with a detachable mic attachment to enable you to receive calls while listening to music on your phone-enabled PDA (though I have not been able to make it work; I think it's an A2DP flaw). It also comes with a power adaptor, a USB cable and a splitter power cable that lets you charge both headset and dongle at the same time.
I got it for less than S$100 at Trendsmobile.

Sleuth255, im thinking if i should get the HP or Motos...which one do you think is best for my Vario...i dont want something big on my ears...which is why i looked at the HP ones
im considering on the basis of sound quality and the comfort when warn..

If my replacement motos have the same high end distortion then I'll return them. I'm keeping the HP's for sure unless the fidelity and volume of the replacements is much better.
It's a tough choice for sure. The motos have stellar integration with the Wizard and work pretty much flawlessly when switching from phone to stereo mode. They always pair right up too. Great bluetooth implementation.

fair enough mate...but if a phone call comes while your listening to music via the HP headphones will the voice go through the headphones....and do you have to hold the Vario close to ur head to speak...
or can you just use the phone normally....
because theirs no point in buying them if you gotta listen to the voice through the headphones and hold the phone near ur lips.....(thats like walkie talkies) lol

My problem exactly. You can hear the phone ringing through the headset but when you pick up it goes dead. I wonder if speakerphone works though. I'll check that in a few...
By comparison, the motos are awsome for this... they automatically pause the music when you pick up the phone then resume after you disconnect. The phone actually rings in the background while the music continues to play too so you can check the caller-id and keep listening if its not somebody you want to talk to.
I've got my fingers crossed that the problem with my first headset was actually a defect and that my next ones will be better. It'll be a few weeks before I can determine this though because it's 3 business days one way for UPS and I shipped out the old headset last Friday.

I just tested this: The HPs cut out completely when a phone call either comes in or is initiated from my 8125. Speakerphone mode merely sends the phonecall to my 8125's built in speakers.

hmmmmm thanks for the test mate...
I'd rather not buy the headphones then, considering the hands free are still good enough.... :idea:
£50 of mine can be spent elsewhere (driving lesson etc)
Hopefully someone may write a hack for that problem then...

Thank you guys for pointing out the HT820 headphones. I'm tempted top buy a pair, there's some good prices on ebay too. Well i was looking for other options and notices the Plantronics Pulsar 590A. I like the look of the motorola's more but the plantronics... well its plantronics. Anyone had experience with the both of them?

Hmmmm... guess I'll wait for more reports...

Nokia HS12w Rocks....with FM :lol:

I have the Moto HT820 and the jabra BT620. When I first put the Jabras on my head I was going to throw them in the trash until I figured out the sound was ampliifed in TCMP. I turned th esound down on my phone and headset and away we go. I like both but think the Motos may have a farther range. Next for me is the Nextlinks Spider when it comes out that one is going to be sick. BTW both work well with Windows Media Player.

How's the range? Any background noise?

the best in my Opinion with an incredible sound is the logitech. I have the HT820(Headset,Headphone Combo), Sharper Image and the Logitech (Headphone Only)
The Logitech is the Best. Usually Headsets lack Bass and this Headsets is best in that area. It misses the Highs a little but that you can fix with little EQ'ing. The Headset fits nice and is not so bulky then HT820. The Smallest is the Sharper Image. But only 4h batt life.
So out of all these 3 i have i use the logitech the most because of the Sound.

Sony Ericsson HBH-DS970 and Wizard friends or foes?

Hi
I´m thinking of buying the Sony Ericsson HBH-DS970 bluethooth headset for my qtek9100 (Wizard) and I was wondering if anyone has any experience with this headset.
The things I want from it is:
1. play music of course, I use Mortplayer or PocketMusic for my music now but i can change if none of those work.
2. Change tracks and see the song playing in the dispaly
3. Recive calls and see who is calling in the display.
4. Watch video and get auido in headset, use TCMP here but again I can change if neccesary.
I know that the headset supports both A2DP and AVRCP but I would like to know if anyone tested this with the wizard. The headset is pretty pricey (about 900 SEK or 94 euro here in Sweden) so I want to make sure its all it says it is and that it works.
My other option is the RClip35 from itech which seems pretty sweet aswell, anyone tried that one?
Thanks

I've got one, using it with my Qtek 9100 with the "Mr Clean" ROM and it works great. Sound quality is excellent, the ear buds appear to be the same as Sony's high end ones (which I'm using with my iPod) and the head set build quality is high.
I can definitely recommend it for the 9100.

Ugh, forgot to say that it does not have caller ID. The remote control function works with WMP but not with TCPMP. Those are the only media players I've tested.

Is that so? I just checked at a reseller and saw this (translated from swedish)
Bluetooth Stereo Headset with display that has support for Caller ID and also see what song is played.
Bluetooth version 2.O with A2DP protokoll (Stream sound in Stereo) and Digital Signal Protokoll) which means improved sound quality.
So I´m pussled..true or false?
Also, looking at pictures of this one, from what I can see it has many wires, only difference to the one that comes in the package with the Qtek9100 is the wire to the phone of corse, don´t you find this a bit annoying?
Thinking of buying one myself and I have today a HBH-610 that can´t do A2DP sadly BUT it´s just one thingy on the ear and that´s it...oh well guess I have to scarifice that if I wan´t A2DP which I do...

Argh. It DOES do Caller ID. The display is so tiny that I guess I assumed it would not display the caller ID.
Makes this headset even better!

Thanks for the replys guys, I think now I will go ahead and buy one when I get enough cash.
One additional question: Does it have a ring speaker och vibrate function?
I'm thinking of a scenario when you have the phone in a pocket or bag and have the clip on your shirt but the earbuds not in your ears and the phone rings, is it possible to hear it or do you have to have the buds pluged in?
Here's a link to the headset and the lowest prices (for Sweden)

It does not vibrate but it plays the ring tone - and it's audible when just hanging around the neck unless the environment is really noisy.
The phone rings too, of course.

I´ll buy this one also soon, thx for the recommendations/explanations.
/fahlis

I bought one of these last week and agree that the sound quality is excellent. I expected some background Bluetooth-style hiss but I can't hear any.
£70 may be a bit steep, but I think they are worth it.
For me, I always dock my Wizard in a cradle at work, which blocks the phono jack. So these fix that problem. Now I can also carry my Wizard wherever on my person I choose and not have to worry about wires.
And the real benefit is, when docked, I use Raspberry Software's True Connect, so I can control my Wizard with my mouse (excellent software), so even without A2DRP (something like that) I can still change my music at my desk.
The actual bluetooth part is really light and you don't knotice it round your next, most people probably think it's just an MP3 player, albeit a small one.
Highly recommended by me.

Hi Guys,
got this tiny little toy too, sound is good, but some questions are still unanswered:
Songs aren´t display in the sceen of the Sony remote control, any chance to get this thing to work?
I would love it to use an other Player than this f*cking MediaPlayer, but with other Player the Buttons won´t work.....
Any idea?

What about the range?
Hi all,
What are your experiences with respect to the range of this headset, when used in combination with the Wizard? I'm fairly disappointed in that area: As soon as I move the wizard from the 'line of sight' of the headset, the audio feed breaks up. This means that I won't be able to stash my phone in my backpack for example.
regards,
dafit

@Dafit:
I only keep it in my jeans front pocket, or my Suit Jacket inner pocket, so no problems there. However I have noticed it doesn't seem to cope well if it's not in line of sight. I held my Qizard behind my back and it cut out.
So that's one downside. Quite big if you want to keep it in your bag...
@Whumpscut:
Agreed with the songs suggestion, would be nice. As for other Media Players. Have heard mention that TCPMP might allow control via the Bluetooth, but I've tried it and it wouldn't work.
There's also an update coming out sometime soon from Conduit the makers of Pocket Player that will do this. See their forum for details.

Hi Nooner,
I just got my headset this morning and been testing it for a while. I notice that music playback after a call doesn't work even though the music is still playing but just no sound is coming from the headset. Just wonder whether have you experience this problem b4. I am having a O2 wizard with the lastest rom. Thanks

I don't have that problem, as nobody ever rings me :lol:
I have heard this as a problem. But joking aside, I've only had my headphones for about 5 days and usually only listen at work or to and from work (via the tube/underground), which is when I don't really receive calls.
But I've heard this reported. Don't know if it's the headphones or a problem with A2DP.

Thanks for the reply. I will try and search the forum and see. Will report back if I found anything.

In this user review he mentions the same problem http://www.howardforums.com/showthread.php?p=7463154#post7463154 Maybe its because of the A2DP patch but I dont have the problem with a Nokia HS-12W or Itech Clip S.

Yes is exactly the same problem. But seems like no one has a solution for it so far.

Hi efjay,
Just wonder what do you think about the nokia hs12w. Do you have any problem with it at all or it just works fine with the phone. Cause I am thinking of returning the sony n get something else.

I just ordered mine. Will be here on Monday :lol:
Can't wait.
[edit]
Damn it. They just called and said it's on "national backorder"
Must find one....

Have a look in this thread for opinions on the Nokia http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=48290
I myself think its good, solid build, large display, clear sound and the radio is an added bonus.

Any recommendation for A2DP headset?

I am looking for a great brand, best quality price no object. any comment?
I am currently using Sony Ericsson HBH610 at the moment and not happy with the sound quality.
Whenever I was in the car or moving around, people whom I was calling said that they were hearing my voice choppy.
thanks

Jabra BT8010, I was a bit nervous about the BT headsets but these were recommended to me by the forum. THey sound great and are very versatile with built in phone book and OLED screen.

Oh I have a question though with A2DP, Could you possibly answer the phone in stereo mode using Jabra BT8010? or it would switch automatically into one side mono mode whenever there is a phone call? I prefer Stereo mode for phone calls if possible since it enables me to hear more clearly and comfortably with 2 ears.
I don't think that I would be using BT8010 for music listening since I think my sensaphonics 2X-S aka ACS-T2 much better.

it runs calls through both ear pieces if both are connected

Hi Ade,
I have been reading the manual for BT8010 and it says that it will automatically convert into mono mode when we answer the phone. Are you sure we can enforce the stereo mode for phone calls?

I cna confirm on mine audio is played through both headphones

Have you try JetWare? Did it work to you?

From my perspective:
Ok I bought Jabra BT8010 today. The earphones' sound quality are exceptional compared to my Sony HBH-610. It sounds more open, flat/neutral, bigger soundstage, ..., so it's a lot more comfortable to carry out a conversation for a long period of time. And in Stereo mode. IT'S EXCEPTIONAL. I love the stereo mode, the sound is very open very clear and very relaxing.
Sony Ericsson HBH-610 on the other hand sounds very forward, It's like a slap in your face kinda sound, it's got peak in the treble area. Some people preceive this as better for conversation since you can hear sibilance more but then it could also mean that your ears may easily go fatigue a lot faster, and most likely damaging/bad for your ears as well.
From the person who received my phone calls:
Sony Ericsson sounds much cleaner, clearer, definitely better than the Jabra BT8010. The sound is more refined and fuller. The Jabra sounds boxy, lacking high, and also more digital sounding as if, you can hear cheap compression effects

As any one tray this SE Bluetooth Headset HBH-DS970 A2DP:http://cgi.ebay.com/Sony-Ericsson-S...yZ133233QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
i order one today and i wait to test them with my ADVANTAGE.

HBH-DS970
This is a excellent headset. I have been using it now for 2 weeks and it workd perfectly!! In fact a friend of mine has asked me to order 3 for him and his family.

well i'm glad to read your opinion.
How is the sound quality whan you listen to MP3 files with A2DP?
whan you recive call phone do you get the voice through both headphones in stereo mode or in mono mode?
Thanks.

bluetooth headset!! sony or motorola???

after checking many bluetooth devices i got 3 majo contenders. buti am not able to figure out which one to buy.
1) Motorokr s9
2) HBH-DS970
3) HBH-DS980
am not sure whats the difference between 970 and 980. i tested s9 but felt when i speak it is difficult on the other side to listen, is that right? or is this because i dont have bluetooth fix and the other s/w installed?

Doesn't matter which, just don't get a Jabra headset. I had one for a week, then sold it and bought a Moto. The Jabra BT620s is absolute crap, as is Jabra customer support.

I've had a Jabra 8040 for 3 weeks and it's great. The listening volume is low, but that's a BT stack issue and not an issue with the headset. Personally, I'm more apt to trust a company that ONLY makes headset rather than a company that makes other products besides headsets.

I've got a pair of Motorola S9's and love them. Had no problems. I use them to stream internet radio over bluetooth when I'm working out at the gym.
-Jay

The difference between the HBH-DS970 & HBH-DS980 are mainly on the displayed informations. You get more informations displayed on 980. For instance, DS980 is capable of listing all paired devices. If you flashed your device often. After ROM upgrade, you can easily select the device name from the DS980 list to reactivate the partnership.
The displayed text is also better on DS980 due to its higher resolution screen. Moreover, battery life seems to be better as well.
Due to the BT improvement on WM6.1, DS980 now is able to access the PPC Contacts & call history. Thus you can dial directly from the DS980 unit itself either based on last dial, call history or search for contact to dial. I assume DS970 can do that as well.
Sound quality of DS980/970 are the best that I've tried so far. Noise reduction is excellent. Bass sound is deep & powerfull, volume level is loud.
BTW, I upgraded from DS970 to DS980. The only reason to choose DS970 over DS980 is price. If that is not an issue, then DS980 is the one.
I can't comment on Motorola as I never use one

thanks a lot bro...really appreciate your review. was looking for such review only...i tried s9. its a good headset in terms of listening to the music but if you want to talk using that it sucks. i have another question for the 970/980 while on call it uses only one ear or both as in S9 its only one side. so you listen to music in stereo sound but talk in mono only.....

That's because the S9 has the mic embeded in one side. It picks up your voice from inside your ear. Great for noisy or windy areas. Units that utilize both speakers are still mono. Telephone conversations are sent over the lines in mono. If you take a cheap transistor radio and add a second speaker to it, its not stereo.
-Jay

Might not be an answer to your question, but I got the DR-BT20NX, which are bud headphones with a mic on the control fob. Audio is pretty good and I've used it for h/f in the car until I bought my thb-bury kit. They don't have any display on the fob tho - and the fob looks a bit clunky by comparison.
Cost £40, so pretty cheap

Does the track info get displayed now with WM 6.1 or is that still on the wish list for the future ?
I must admit since buying my DS980 i've had no problems and the sound quality is great, i love how it auto turns the volume up when you walk into a noisy enviroment to compensate.

Loud A2DP, a chimera, an uncatchable dream still, even if we are walking towards the end of the first 2K decade.
I've tried a lot of them, wasted a lot of money, all of them were dull, low volumed craps of silicon got me everytime going back to wires.
But now I discovered something really worth mentioning. It's not 100% perfect but yes it's 96% perfect (I had Motorola S705 and i'd give it 20%), loud, clear and screaming.
Gentlemen it's Nokia's BH-500. 3.5mm audiojack for your fave earphones and loud loud LOUD.. Espec on my kaiser this thing rocks. It's almost like listening to Pocket Music wired something like a volumeclick down no more..
After everything been through I HAVE to spread the good news guys. No more wasted money on A2DP. (They should allow testing before you buy but they don't. If they did I'be rich )
I'm looking for non-wired now. I'll give BH-503 a try (princess Leia kindastyle). It's new to the market and I trust Nokia in the sound dept. (N91 is the best and loud MP3 player ever ever) so I'll keep you informed..

What is the best BT headset with A2DP and a mute button?

What is the best BT headset with A2DP and a mute button if there are any?
At the very least I am looking for a good BT headset for the Raphael that has a mute button. I constantly need to mute unmute my calls and I can't believe the Raphael doesn't have more side buttons. I have a fuze and am trying to program the PTT to do this but so far no luck. thanks for any info.

Plantronics Voyager 855
Plantronics Voyager 855 seems to have mute and a2dp. I might have found the answer

I love my Plantonrics Voyager 855.
It a great headset. Only issue is the boom on it feels kinda weak.

Sennheiser MM200

I got some with my sony wireless walkman, didn't realise they took calls too, freaked me out when my Boss' voice came through...
They have play, pause (as good as mute) functions and next / previous track, and volume control too.
model is DRBT21GB

I bought the Bluetrek Duo headset, it can be used both like a single or an A2DP headset. Works like a charm both ways with touch pro, music plays realy nice. It comes with 3.5mm jack so you can put whatever headset you wish.

how does your s9 work outside?
i have the hd and inside its great but outside its absoloutely awful
and if i put the phone close to to my head its bad but somehow if its in my pocket it works better

Any more reviews on Voyager 855? I just ordered one, it looks like it will solve all the problems that I have.
How does the music sound? Anybody used it for VOIP (skype, ventrilo) with Vista?

I thought the S9HD is a better one ... how is the 'talk' when you're outside say window down or in the bus/train?
I'm still waiting for it to be available in Australia.. sigh~
I used Voyager 855 and returned it as it got some cracking noise when put it in my pocket (pants)... music quality is good but not as loud enough. A few issue when trying to make it works for the first time....
Also thinking of getting the DRBT21GB as well.. to see how well it perform...

has anyone tried sony's HBHIS800?

I like my s9-hd. Gets pretty good range. Sounds good in stereo. Good enough in calls. only issue I have is bike commuting. I have the phone in my saddle bag behind me and it seem to be about 60% successful. Sometimes it is perfect. other times it is so skippy that I just go without. If I put it in my camleback when I mountain Bike I have no issues at all. The only thing I can think off is that wither tha fabric of the bag is interfering or my body is interfering, or both.

I had S9, then Switched to HD version. Love it. I'm in construction, so noise is an issue, but with S9HD I enjoy music, bluetouth and perfect earplugs. Highly recommended. Just watch out for ebay fakes. I bought mine at Best Buy with $10 extra fro 2 year warranty, No regrets

I just got MotoROKR S605. IMHO, it's simply one of the best BT stereo headsets on the market. I had Jabra BT3030 before, but it wasn't loud enough; then i had Sony Ericsson DS980, but battery life sucked; Finally, i found S605 that has decent headsets that come with it, battery meter is a good option too. It has a built-in radio, all control buttons are so easy to access. The only con it has - micro usb charging port.

HBH-IS800
Hej,
yes i have the hbh-is800 and its great. Sound is good and loud.
i also have the Plantonrics Voyager 855. I find the hbh-IS800 better because its small and pretty. The bluetooth is better by the hbh-is800.
I advise you to HBH-is800

FWIW - pretty happy with my Voyager 855. Performs well in mono and stereo. Way better than my old Motorola headset on all counts. My only gripe is that none of the included earbuds fits my ear quite well enough to go without the ear hook for any real length of time (and certainly not if I was being active).

I agree..i ordered my 855 from buy.com for around 50 bux but it wouldnt turn on..so i sent it back got another one and i fell in love right away..and yes none of the earbuds fit my ear either forcing me to use the hook and that still causes it to pull away from my head eventually causing the headset to hang and point down which looks retarded but whatever..(i wonder why more headset companies dont use flexible earhooks like my old jabra bt160 had..it also vibrated which was fun )..except when using the stereo adapter..that stays in about 80% of the time..and when JAMMED in the sound quality is quite good..enough to get some good bass..my only gripe is you cant change the volume unless the bt is active (in call while connected or with a2dp active) and ive been experiencing some weirdness lately..maybe its my rom but sometimes it will just disconnect from my device and force the call back to the handset and sometimes i cant get any audio when making a call forcingme to use the nadset until i turn off and on the 855..but other than that im glad i bought it
