Is there any bt headset that offers wind/noise protection while also offerring A2DP, AVRCP, Stereo?
I ride my bike, listen to mp3s, and would like the wind noise protection I hear others rave about.
I don't think there is that yet. But you can use BTaudio to channel your music to your jawbone.
It is only mono tho, but it does the trick.
the only thing i dont like about the BTtoggle is that fact that when someone calls you while you have music streaming to your bluetooth, and after you have finished with the phone call and you hang up the music wont come back to bluetooth, it would just start playing from the phones speaker and you would have to re-enable bttoggle again

I'm somewhat puzzled about the terms Headset and Hands-free.
There is an option to set my BT headset as hands-free, but I have no idea what that does.
My BT headset (airoblue) is supposed to have an mp3 interface, but when I play an mp3, the sound comes out of the speaker.
I would like to hear all sound to go through my BT headset.
So there are 2 questions in the latter:
1. What is the difference between Headset and Handsfree?
2. Is it possible to have all sound go through my BT headset?
any ideas?
I can answer the first one.
Headset is pretty straightfoward...plug in your headset, use your bluetooth, etc
Handsfree is kind of like speakerphone I guess. No headset or accessories required, the sound is played thru the phone's main speaker instead of the earpiece, so that you can sit the phone on the desk in front of you and hold a conversation. (I haven't used this feature on my mini yet tho, so no idea how well it works and I *think* you activate this mode by holding down the green answer button onc the call has been answered).
I think you misunderstood the question bleepy. The latest Radio Stack of the Magician seems to implement the Handsfree Profile for bluetooth in addition to the Headset profile. The difference between these two is, that Handsfree has some additional capabilities compared to Headset. I think it allows voice dialing as well as initiating calls by the headset (therefore: Handsfree!). It is not meant for audio transmission and i doubt that the WaveOut of the Magician is linked to the bluetooth profile. That's what the A2DP profile is there for. This is not included in the Microsoft stack and i think currently also not available from third party developers. So I think you should forget about the audio streaming over the headset, also because the audio quality should be really bad since the handsfree profile wasn't developed for music streaming.
Thanks for the clear explanation.
I hoped there was a way, because it is nice to watch a movie or something in the plane, or bus.
Guess I'm stuck with the wired headset.
How do you guys listen to your voice navigation software? I have the supertooth II BT handsfree set, and make and receive my phone calls through it. Now when I go into my nav software, the audio goes throught the loudspeaker, or I have to use the cable earphones (supplied with phone).
Using the earphones is a bit stupid, then I might as well not have the handsfree in the car. I would like to get all audio & sound to go to my Supertooth.
There was a site I found where a guy posted software that sends all audio to a bluetooth headset. Now this was a Samsung i730 post, now I wonder if it is not written for the i730, as I tried it out, and it switches my Supertooth on, but still nou audio can be heard.
Will something like a BT audio transmitter that is normally used to trasmit audio from a MP3 player to a hifi work?
The Scala-Rider FM is a great little unit if you want to be distracted while riding your motorcycle.
This little gem has a detachable logic module that holds the battery so you don't have to plug the charger into the helmet. The sound quality on both the Bluetooth and the FM modes is great
(FM sensitivity isn't that great, so you might only get a few local stations)
Is this stereo? The pictures I've found of it show 2 speakers but I can't find anything that says it's stereo. I currently have the BT Scala-Rider and it works flawlessly, but I would upgrade for the stereo and FM. I could use the FM to listen to my XM, instead of the seperate cabled headphones I use now. Plus it would automatically stop the XM sound when I make/get a call, I have to shut off the XM unit manually now so I can hear the call.
Thanks,

I've been eying the Scala Rider too... Do you know if you get two can you BT link to your passenger or do you have to get the dual version for the BT passenger talking?
Oh, and how is BT quality with the Scala Rider and the Kaiser? Can you listen to voice instructions from GPS software on the phone as well as phone calls and music?
Not that I'm into too many distractions while riding, but it would be nice to be able to field phone calls w/o removing my helmet after pulling over.
I recently picked up a Bluetooth Headset, and I was quite surprised to discover that my G1 was pumping ALL audio into the headset instead of just the in-call audio. My main problem is that I use Telenav GPS, and when it talks I can't hear the person I'm talking to. Ideally, the G1 should be playing the call through the headset and the GPS sounds through the built-in speaker. Is there any way to force it to behave that way?
is it possible on the vibrant to stream music to my jawbone bt earpiece ? i used to do it on my touch pro 2. but with android im not sure ? help me out guys please
Yes, it's possible (though it may depend on what model Jawbone you have). Make sure your Jawbone is updated with H2DP and your phone should be able to recognize that the headset can be headphones as well. Check out the Jawbone website for more info.
If his jawbone is like my old one ( now use a Plantronics Pro), it didn't support Stereo (H2DP)
One of things I plan on looking into the Android source for is why someone hasn't come out with a "Mixer" app to route Media out the BT Headset profile. I'm sure there's a technical reason.
I've never seen a phone send music out to a BT headset... I don't understand why that is, it does if you use a wired headphone.
Things like podcasts should be fine in a mono headset. Even music would be better than nothing.

A2DP?
The new jawbone hero has an update that supports A2DP. Music sounds terrible through it tho, I even streamed NPR's car talk through it and it was scratchy. For some reason too, the phone prefers streaming over BT rather than through the audio jack when it's plugged in. Turned off the audio profile for the headset.
