Now THIS would be the ultimate bluetooth headset/headphone for me. Just imagine, A2DP profile for stereo audio, hansdfree and headset profiles for making/receiving calls.
Some friends of mine told me I should get some company to manufacture this and make some money for myself, but I don't think the market is big enough (these headphones cost a fourtune). Just thought you guys would like to see the concept.
I would love to get a hold of one of those adapters. I have the Quiet Comfort 2 and they are just simply great so to get them to work with BlueTooth would be superb.

i just bought the following car phone holder:
http://www.handtec.co.uk/product.php?xProd=241&xSec=76
but no one can hear me when it is connected in the car. it will work if i pick up the phone and select speakphone and then put it back on the car mount...
is there something i should be doing like profiles??
thank you
This Car holder disables the microphone in your wizard. The only possibility to use handsfree mode without modifying the holder is to use a bluetooth headset/handsfree.
Not in...
There is no possibility with the built-in software to switch on the speaker phone. But there is a cool software called Phone Alarm available on www.pocketmax.net which has the possibility of switching to various profiles one of the options being switching the speakerphone when a call comes automatically, you can set it in one of the 7 profile possbilities. This software does many other things too. Try it out. Worth every penny, covers many short comings that exist in WM 5.
@kull
There is no sense in profile switching when the microphone doesn't work in the holder.
Even with the workaround (take out, switch on speakerphone, put back in) the microphone won't work that well, because it is fully covered by the holder.
So, there are two options:
1. Buy a bluetooth handsfree/headset
or
2. Modify the holder: Put in a 4 pin 2.5mm stereo connector with a microphone attached. Requires some soldering and handycrafts skills.
cutting edge approach to handsfree in the car
-i took a piece of velcro and put one part on the dashboard next to the steering wheel, the other on the back of the wizard, just so it covers the battery cover. now i can just put in up on the dashboard. holds great and is only about $2 of investment.
-the other thing. get a converter plug at radioshack from 2.8mm to the smaller one used on the wizard. get a $10 cassette adapter. put the wizard on the velcro, put the cable from the adapter into the plug, the plug in the wizard. TATA music and phone calls (!) via your car stereo. ppl i called said that they could hear me well, i can hear them in surround )
Any tips on which one is best? Trying to wirelessly send music to car speakers via the audio jack...
Thank you
you can look up the Motorla T505 - It is bluetooth and transmits to your car stereo using Powerful FM Transmitter. Mutes music when you get a call and resumes after. Calls come through car stereo as well. Or if you want check out jabra stereo headphones = I know that there are a few that have Headphone jacks out. My Jabra Bt320 would do what you are looking for or there is a Jabra stereo headphone set that looks like dog tags with headphone jack out as well. (Wish I would have foun that before I bought the Bt320 )

u can try the Motorola S705. It allows u to attach any 3.5mm jack to the unit. I have been using it for awhile and it works pretty good.
This sounds like a good idea. But, I often go the cheap route on devices like this. I shop at this website DealExtreme and they have a device like this for $20. http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.8098 I saw some reviews on it that says the range sucks... it's like 10 feet or something but if I'm in my car with it, what does it matter. Anyways, that site rocks. There is a replacement battery on there for the Kaiser for like $7. http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.15833
I personally use the iTech Clip (S38 I think...) i'd have to double check. I ordered it from ebay thought and it works pretty well. It was around $50 for me with shipping. The only complaint is the music sounds just a touch muffled when compared to listening through wired head phones. But you really don't noticed it unless you are doing a comparo.
I use mine all the time for when I go running and it works well.
plantronics 855
the plantronics 855 is a really nice stereo bluetooth headset. I got mine for $45 on sale, I think it goes for around $40 new on ebay. With a 3.5mm headphone jack part (radio shack $2), some wire (radio shack $3), a small amount of dremeling and some soldering you can turn it into a really small bluetooth to 3.5mm adapter with really great sound. (im using bose-in ear headphones and the sound quality is really good). I did it with mine and I love it. If you want instructions PM me.
If you just want to buy something then sony makes a really nice one, its like $100 but the sound quality has to be great.
Also make sure you do the A2DP hack to your phone (it's really just a reg edit in cab form):
View attachment A2DP_BT_Hack.zip
Sony Ericsson HBH-DS205 or DS220.
Generally rated very good -but some report brief transfer interruptions happening every minute or so. They come with a headset included, but thats connected to the unit via a 3.5 mm plug. I found one for a decent price on Ebay.
Waiting for my S705

I just purchased the S705 on Amazon. What I liked was that it could charge while it was working as a bluetooth receiver. The only thing I don't like is that it doesn't have a hard on/off switch. I would much prefer to be able to leave the switch on all the time so that as soon as I enter my car and turn the car on, the S705 would connect to my phone.
As it is, I accept the limitation as it might be better all around that I have to turn the thing off rather than have it wasting it's charge every time I turn off the car.
Iv just bought a jabra 3030 dogtagbluetooth headset which has a 3.5mm audio jack on it so you could put it in a cup holder and buy a small 3.5mm audio jack cable to plug into the radio, I will test it out when mines delivered if you want ?
Hi I got my BT3030 today and must say it is amazing works great with tytn ii, sterio audio goes through aswell and a 3.5mm jack on the side so you can plug it into any form of audio output!
Sound quality is the best Iv ever heard from a bluetooth device and is allmost as good as my 5.1 at home
Only £30 from expansys if you get the £10 off from madoca or whatever it is.
I am still shopping for a solution but found this one while looking. Haven't tried any yet, thanks to all who posted suggestions.
I'm looking for a stereo bluetooth headset (preferably A2dp also) that can connect via bluetooth, but when it runs out of power, it can be connected via usb through the phone to be charged up. Bluetooth headsets are great, until they run of power after 2 hours of use listening to music. Then you're stuck with no headset at all. I'm hoping that I can just carry a cable in the pocket, and just charge up the unit using the phone's usb connection when the power runs out on the headset.
I don't think your phone' mini usb port will spit out power for charging other devices!
Regards,
Carty..
true, it's already too low on juice, and if it need to share with other, you might go without power for both of the device...
There are several manaufacturers that make A2DP Stereo Headsets that last all day. Jabra for example will plug into your PC/Laptop with a USB cable (USB ports will not charge fast due to .500MaH limit) and charge.
If you have a headset that last about 2 hrs, I would reconsider finding another headset.
I have a pair of Insignia bluetooth headphones that i use on a daily basis. I have NEVER run out of power on my headphones. I think they are supposed to get around twelve hours playback, but I have never heard the low power warning. I listen to music for about 9hrs a day with no probs.
the Motorola HT820 has a headphone jack and I think it comes with a headphone cable. I got mine off ebay and it didn't come with the headset cable. Great pair of headphones though. http://direct.motorola.com/ens/BTStereoHS_Web_ProductHome.asp?country=USA&language=ENS
Thanks guys, I'll look into the mentioned options. Good point about the limited power supply from the phone itself. However, I would be happy if the bluetooth headset just turns into a regular wired headset (which means it probably won't drain as much juice). I can always charge it up at home or when I'm not using it.
look for nextlink bizz
solar
i saw one somewhere with a built in solar charger; not sure about a2dp. i think they boasted lightweight, but looked a bit bulky. google is your friend

Blueant X5
I use the Blueant X5 Stereo Headset. Very cool. Lasts around 9 hours but comes with a seperate BT transmitter which uses the same battery (which also charges via USB). I basically use my headphones until the battery runs out then swap them over.

Overkill if you get them from Plantronics
I have a Plantronics Pulsar 590A which I bought a few years ago for less than $100, but list price is $250. Still my favorite desk/phone headset. Comes with an audio dongle and if it runs out of juice (after 10-12 hours) you can plug in a wire to use it as a normal wired headset. Has a travel case and a desktop charging stand. http://www.plantronics.com/north_america/en_US/products/cat1150057/cat1150057/prod29780013
I use a Motorola S9 on the road (also use it with my Samsung P2 player) OR for just kicks I have a really cheap stereo bluetooth headset that I bought at Target for about $15 on clearance.
All of them work well to control WMplayer on the phone.
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!
