XDA Neo (JAMin ROM) and Plantronics 590A,perfect combination

Just bought Plantronics 590A bluetooth stereo headset, and tried it out with my prophet (XDA Neo with JAMin WWE 2.13 ROM). I would say it is really a perfect combination.
I have tried HT820, and also another one from Creative (I can not remember the name), but for those two, the sound quality is really bad!!!!! Espcially for HT820, you can clearly know that you are wearing a wireless headset, since the sound quality is way much worse than wired headset! I do not understand why so many people are still use HT820, anyway it was really terrible. So, I sold both my HT820 and Creative one on eBay, and started searching for better quality headsets. I found many reviews on Plantronics 590A, and all of them compared the 590A with HT820, and concluded that 590A is way much better than HT820 in terms of sound quality. So, I finally decided to give 590A a try.
It is really a perfect match to my Prophet. The sound quality is superb. You would never notice you are wearing a wireless headset through A2DP. The sound quality is even better than many wired headsets on the market. Anyway, the 590A is the best bluetooth stereo headset I have ever tested. All the buttons worked perfect, forward, and back button worked perfectly. Play and pause worked perfectly, too. When a call comes in, it automatically switched from stereo music mode to handfree mode (during the call, it is still stereo, but the sound quality in handfree mode is not as good as in stereo music mode. But you can hear crystal clear voice in handfree mode from both ear phones). Anyway, everything is perfect! I strongly recommend the 590A.
Also, a universal bluetooth adaptor is included (3.5mm). I used it to listen music from my laptop. It is wonderful. But you know, since I used the 3.5mm adaptor for bluetooth, the forward and back button of the headset is not working. That is normal. I can not blame it. Again, the sound quality is superb, and the signal from the bluetooth adaptor is amazingly strong. I can listen music from downstairs, upstairs, 2 or 3 rooms away without losing any signal and sound quality.
The only problem I found is that after I used the headset to listen music from laptop through the included bluetooth adaptor, if I want to switch to my prophet, I have to turn off the headset and turn it on again, otherwise, the headset will not automatically switch from one device to another device. I am not very sure it is really true, or I did not set it right.

Best Bluetooth headphone with tytn ii ?

I would like to know what are the good headsets available for kaiser where the sound quality is great without any call drops and static and which is compatible with dutty's v3 .
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I currently use the Blue Ant Z9 with Dutty's v2 (Medium) ROM. Works great.

And I would like to know what this has to do with Kaiser upgrades. C'mon guys, is it that hard to use the appropriate forum?

I have tried several headsets (sony 980, Motorola 820, and Jabra 8010) and have settled on using the jabra set as my primary set because it is more comfortable then the 820, and does NOT have drop issues like the sony 980. the moto set works verY well but i found the wrap around uncomfortable. I'm using Dutty's v2 currently.

Jabra 8040

Hi ,
I started using Motorla S9 , its one of the best bluetooth headsphone / handsfree i have used. The stereo quality is gr8 !! and even the handsfree is good even with little bit of noise around you . i recommed the S9!.

HTC S100's with a decent pair of headphones for me. (Usually my little B&O earphones, occasionally my big old Sennheisers)

Jabra 8040

Another 8040 here. So far so good. Waiting for the Invisio Q7 to launch next month.

jabra bt 620s here . I love it , don't have any problems. Only when I go by bike and the wind is blowing in mic when calling but that is to be expected.

The Jawbone is the best headset on the market IMHO. Works phenominally with the TILT.

I have 3 headsets. 2 of them are incredibly quiet, even at full volume. The 3rd is a Jawbone. It is actually painfully loud, but sounds great, to me and to the other person on the phone. I would go for that.

copied from previous post.....
I've used this headset for about a year, first with an Eten x500 and now with the tilt. Performance has been near perfect. On the tilt, I've never had a dropped signal while playing music, sound quality is decent, works with MS voice command. I don't know much about the manufacturer or support as I haven't had any issues with the device.

Another vote for the Jawbone. Works great. Also can attest to the performance of the Sony Ericsson HBH DS980 stereo headset. Works great as well...but you need the bluetooth extensions from JetWare to get it to do almost everything....phone book transfer doesnt work but everything else is there.

The S9
The Motorola S9 is extremely sexy and the Audio quality is great. I got mine off ebay (new, sealed for 40 bucks with ship), cause I was told they only come included with certain Motorola phones?
Anyway, that what I would recommend

I think the OP requested information on the 'best bluetooth *headphone*'. The Jabra 8040 seems to be a headset, and seems to only able to answer phone calls and not play music, as one ear is left uncovered and void of hearing any sound.

It will play music, you'll only hear it in mono.

So music can be listened to through one ear only?

Plantronics Voyager 855.
Better than the S9's I've had. Better than the HS820 headphones.
Awesome as a regular BT headset. Semi-noise reduction and even EQ sound as a stereo A2DP headset.

Bluetooth Stereo Headset

I wanna buy one, but what is the best for my kaiser?

Read through some of these threads, found by searching for "Bluetooth Stereo Headset" (surprise!) in this very forum.

i use some gear 4 bluphones, fit my head nicer than my motorola k9s

I'm using the Plantronics Pulsar 590A with my Kaiser, Laptop and Desktop.
It's the best BT Headset i've used by now... you can listen to stereo music in real good quality and if there's an incomming call, it switches to phone mode, stops the music and you can use the internal mic... It comes with a BT module for MP3 players or anything with a 3,5mm audio port, USB charger, normal power plug and a relly nice "docking station".

I feel there are two ways to go about this in general:
1. Get a good set of in-ear headphones if you are comfortable with them, and a bluetooth adapter with a standard 3.5mm jack. This way, you can use any headphones you want with whatever bluetooth devices you have, and you can replace the headset if something goes wrong with them. The downside to this is that I haven't really found a completely satisfactory bluetooth adapter for this purpose yet. They all have some miniscule (or not so miniscule) flaw that hinders performance. That being said, paired with a good set of headphones they do give satisfactory results with music most of the time, and the other features are just up to the adapter. While top end headphones like those from Shure, Ultimate Ears, Etymotic and such will have stellar audio performance, the adapter is usually the limiting factor as well as bluetooth itself. It is nice that you have a pair of great headphones for other devices, but I suppose the whole point of having BT headphones is to avoid carrying and using other devices...
2. Invest in a good set of BT headphones. Some older models like the Motorola S9s have fallen to very affordable prices and have reached a great price/performance ratio. Look into other offerings from Jabra and Plantronics as well, making note of which features are most useful to you as I would say the audio quality is generally acceptable. Some Sony models allow multiple pairing if that's something you're after, while other models from Jabra and Plantronics have small screens for caller ID and other information. Unfortunately, these options rarely come with different sizing options so achieving a good 'fit' becomes a matter of trial, error and money. While none of the models I have tried are directly 'uncomfortable', I can't see myself wearing any of them on a long train or bus trip to be honest, which is why I stick to my solution above.
Hope I could help, and use the search feature on the forums for opinions on more specific models.

I've got an older Bluetake i-Phono Plus set of stereo headphones.. have had them for about three years now and they still work great..
they work well and have fold down microphone as well so you can talk also

Any Bluetooth Stereo A2DP Headset for Touch Pro?

Which headset will be best for this device that can perform all the functions on this phone?

Any A2DP headset should work with the Raphael.
Personally when my touch pro arrives I will be testing with a jabra bt320s (upgraded) and a Sony A2DP car stereo.
EDIT: using coreplayer ofcourse.
EDIT2: Both work fine.

One of my friend's headset had problem using the play, stop volume buttons on his TytnII. Thats why I thought I should make sure?

Iv got the sony dr-bt30q bluetooth headphones. dont know if you like them but they do the job all functions work. sound pretty good as well.

Got a pair of BT headphones that came with my laptop (Dell badged) - work very well, tested to around 20ft with no breakup.

Sony HBH DS 200 works fine
Hi,
I use the Sony Ericsson DS200 unit with a Sennheiser CX400 headphone set.
Works very well with the Touch Pro running Pocket Tunes (great ACC and itunes sync).
I have not used the full range of AVRCP features but the pause/resume works fine.
Regards, D

No problems with Plantronics Pulsar 590.

No problem with the Moto s9 (and I assume the s9 HD would work too). I'm using the HTC music player.

Sure? Because yes it works fine as a headset to listen music etc. but haven't seen it working as a telephone headset (i.e. speak to the mic or use the button to trigger voice tagged contacts)...

havent recieved my raphael yet, but for my other htc´s i use a Jabra BT620s and it works like a charm. certainly one of the most comfortable headsets i have ever had.

I have these
http://www.plantronics.com/north_america/en_US/products/cat1150057/cat5420035/prod5560014
and they work perfect with talking and with music. Sound great and comfortable too. I personally like the style and don't like buds but that is just me

Sony Ericson HBH-DS980. Love 'em!

Good to hear it'll work fine with my S9's when it arrives. Hopefully it'll play nice with my Moto S805's too... Will let you all know.

Sony DR-BT50 and Motorola S9 tested & working.

Hi, currently using a Plantronics 855 Voyager and it ROCKS. It works very well with the Touch Pro. Holding the button for 2-3 second calls up the voice manager, etc.

I have the Jabra BT3030 with my Touch Pro, works really well! All buttons work perfectly.
Really recommend replacing the headphones though, the ones delivered with the BT3030 really sucks.

Original Jawbone
Has anyone successfully got the original Jawbone to wirelessly stream audio from the Touch Pro?
For you others who stream with different bluetooth headsets, does the streaming automatically engage? Meaning, do you power on bluetooth and the headset and press play on a music player and automatically have streaming music?
I'd like to have all audio redirected to the headset or the option to switch between speaker and headset; anyone have any idea how to do this?
Thanks in advance.
Cheers.

A2DP Headsets
I use:
Plantronics Pulsar 590 - best receive properties, but big and looks like nerd headphone
Sony Erricson HBH-DS970 - quite small and earplugs close good, but bad receive properties, accu
Philips SHB6100/00 - stylic Headset, comfortable
ask, if detailed infos needed

Kaiser Headset which works?

Hi,
I just refund the RC w100, which I bought two wheeks ago and which is not working on all the new roms.
I like to buy a headset for listening music in the gym.
I like to buy one, which is 100% working on ALL the newer roms. It do not have to had a remote, it just have to work fine.
It could be a whole headset or just the adapter to plugin usual headphones.
I would prefer the second choice.
Can you please send me a Link of a product,so that I can order it on ebay?
What do you think of bluetooth headsets. Are they better for just listening music? It have to be stero...
It do not have to be something special, it just have to work. I do not like to make any more refunds...
Thank you for your advices,
Master

I am using a Motorola S9 stereo bluetooth headset for listening to music. I have even used this under my helmet on motorcycle rides. You can control music, next/previous/pause, volume up/down/mute with the headset controls. When you get a call, the music automatically pauses and one speaker acts as a microphone (?), when the call is done, the music starts again.
There are a lot of them on eBay, search for 'Motorola S9', they go from $15-$40 USD.
I also have a 3-in-1 adapter like this one : eBay Item # 270447310297
It plugs into the htc jack and lets you connect an htc headset, usb connection, and a 3.5mm stero plug for connecting regular headsets. I use this on place with a set of noise-canceling headphones, works great, but a little more to carry. I have also seen more streamlined adapters on eBay for connecting a headset with 3.5mm plug to the htc phones, like this one: eBay item #260438648187 and #280399218984

Hi,
I just ordered the Jabra BT3030 for 32 USD on Ebay.
Thank you for your advice

using a BT headset isn't draining too much the battery?
I definitly need an adapter for normal 3.5mm jack headsets that works, I once bought on ebay one for a motorola razr phone, but audio was too low, can you confirm those adapters do give high enough audio levels from the kaiser?

I just purchased this adapter (Item# 400080682350) on the bay and almost have to turn the volume down as low as it can go, works great.

I've used the 2nd & 3rd adapters that JJHiemenz listed from off of Ebay. The 2nd one got a short after a while, and the 3rd one works Great because up to now I still use it on my TILT. Better investment if U ask me.

I bought two of these objects and then discovered it was a set of three, so I have SIX adapters now very cheap and very well working, so, being them so small, I took one at office, one in the bag, one at the desk and so on

Jabra BT620s
Jabra BT620s is highly recommended, and pretty affordable. Pairs quickly and easily and works reliably with A2DP on my Kaiser. Just don't try to do heavy WiFi surfing and Bluetooth listening at the same time, it can't handle it

I've got the Motorola S9 and its been working great for almost a year now with many different ROMs. Got mine off ebay, but look out for the chinese ripoffs, the work for a little bit then crap out (learned the hard way).

the solusion is
Jabra BT3030, Jabra BT3030 Rules!
