Recently purchased the SE MW600 stereo bluetooth headset. Was pleasantly surprised to discover that track name shows up on the headset, when paired with the HD2.
Display of track info is a SE implementation and is supposed to work only with SE phones. So not sure why it is working with the HD2.
Note that I also paired the headset with my Nexus One, Archos 5IT and Motorola Milestone. However, with these pairings, track name did not work.
So i suppose it is unique to WM/ HD2 bluetooth stack...
That's a good thing to hear.
I have been searching for a nice stereo bluetooth headsets for my lovely HD2 as well.
Does the Sony MW600 has swap between talk and music function?
Damnit!
I have an HBH-DS980 bluetooth stereo headset with OLED display, and it worked fine with a K850i. When I moved to the X1, I figured SE would include support for it in their BT stack - no such luck. Eventually I got the guy who writes SmartWatchM to include support, but its very basic - to show track titles, you lose the ability to take calls on it.
Major bummer! I guess yours uses a different, standard BT profile for track info display that the HD2 also supports?

you can do voice dialing using the mw600. and yes, when a call comes in, it automatically switches over from music to call. of course, it also automatically switches over when you dial out from your phone.
also, you can pair it with THREE devices instead of the two that most multipoint bluetooth headsets allow you to.
before this, i have used se ds220, ds980, jabra 3030 and sennheiser mm200. my current mw600 is the most feature-rich headset in a tiny package. the music quality is not as great as the senn bluetooth headest, but you can always swap in your headphone. i would say the quality is good enough for regular commute.

i have fond memories of the ds980. in fact, the only thing i miss about it is the access to phonebook and dialing out right from the headset - the mw600 has all the other features except that.
i have not tinkered with the BT settings. it just worked 'out of the box'. please note that my HD2 is on OzROM 2.10 ROM. have gone through the changelogs, but do not see any info on the BT stack being tinkered with.
So i assume track info will also get displayed on a stock HD2 ROM as well. and maybe other WM devices?
I can confirm that mw600 shows song titles with stock rom, using it everyday! Perfect for watching youtube-videos and so on.
How about radio? Are the devices smart enough to know that one (phone) is looking for an antenna, and the other (headset) can act as one, to use the HD2 radio app?

tried it. nope, did not work. i don't think you can get around the limitation of having a cable plugged into the headphone jack for fm to work - the cable acts as an antenna. can fm work without it? i don't know.
however, with the mw600 this point is moot. the headset has onboard FM and the quality, at least where i live, was crystal clear. so the hd2's fm app becomes redundant.
Does it show incoming callers name as well?

Dosen't show names of tracks from S2P for me either.
Great headset though!!!
i am having problems... so far it wont play music through the blue tooth headset, it will only play thorugh its speakers... I got it to work once after i reset the phone but shortly after (say if i turn the mw600 off and on), it will once again stop working... Handsfree calling is fine though.
any ideas?

Have you enabled A2DP on your device?
[Comm Manager]>Tap on "Bluetooth" (Name, not the switch)>[Advanced]>Tap on the MW600 you have paired>[Edit]>check [Wireless Stereo] and Save.
So does the MW600 show the audio track titles in HD2 android?
i didn't notice this. but i'm using pocket player, not windows or htc or s2p.
what i notice is, when in radio mode, my bluetooth can show caller name, but when in streaming mode it only show number.
i hate the slide volume control. never work when i use my finger, but will activate if it touch my shirt. kind of stupid, you have to look at it to use it. also the clip is not "coarse" and strong enough, easy to slip out. lucky, the earphone connection prevent it from dropping.

No, the MW600 does not display track names when using Android, however, the hardware volume keys on the HD2 will adjust the volume of the headset - this does not happen under WinMo unfortunately. This is useful if you plug the MW600 into an amplifier and stream music to your hi-fi because then you can control everything : )
Another plus of using the MW600 with Android on the HD2 is that if you use DSP manager it will allow you to control bass and treble etc - again, the Audio Booster under WinMo does not affect the headset (even with the hack that allows it to run without a plug in the headphone jack).
The biggest problems with the MW600 for me are the awkward touch sensitive volume control, and the fact that it cuts the beginning off of each track (only a second or so, but if you're listening to music that kicks in on the first beat it gets really annoying).

Yes, using windows 7 64bit and a Nexxus Blue Micro Pro dongle (v2.0 + EDR). With windows drivers it sounds awful. The high frequencies are bleurgh....
With a trial of the Toshiba stack and also Blue Soleil Software, it sounded very good indeed....
Make sure you get a dongle with good software/driver support and it'll sound great : )
The MW600 will show you what type of device you are paired with using an appropriate symbol. Like devices (e.g phones) get numbered one to three.
One word of warning, when you pair a new device, by default both the stereo audio and the handsfree audio (for calls) are routed to that device. This leads to some consternation if you, say, pair your girlfriends phone to it then wonder why your own phone no longer has call functionality but the music is working just fine. Oops. Duh, RTFM ; ) Press and hold the call button on the MW600 to choose which of your paired devices has call functionality. Press and hold the Play/Pause button to choose which has stereo audio functionality. It may help to shout expletives at it when you find you can't select the device you want using the 'insensitive one minute, overly sensitive the next' volume slider ; )

Anyone used any BT A2DP headsets with Kaiser that run without any skipping and such? If so please give make and model. Likewise anyone with ones that are not very good with Kaiser please notate here as well. Am looking to buy some but want to ensure they are compatible.

i think the Jabra 620s is the best i know it is big but the standby and batteri time is a big + after updating the firmware it even better no need for any tweaks, even if you want to use microsofts voice command to make call og starting any apps
I have no problems with my Plantronics 590a.
can yo use next-track buttons from jabra with any software?
sound quality on my motorola ht820's is great and ive been listening to some really long mp3's on it too (~30mins) with no skipping or anything - only thing that really narks me is that i cant get the damn things to work if i turn wifi on on my handset - ASDF!!"!!! (i even sent my unit back because i thought this was a hardware fault - turns out its just bluetooth not playing nicely with wifi - im still skeptical)

I've a HTC S100 and the sound is well but it's very difficult to start a voice commande or to recall last call because seem that the function "hand free" sometime is lose.

small in your ears, long battery life,
and it pairs with two devices at the same time, for ex. your phone and your iPod..( i use the BT adapter for ipod from iMuffs MA110)

Two questions!....
. The volume keys in the jabra... do they modify the volume of the kaiser?, or only internal one?
. Can you use the kaiser charger for this headset?, is it miniUsb standar?
Thanks!
My vote is for the Lubix UBHS-NC1, no skipping, full controls on headset (even fast forward and rewing) and looks cool (hangs around your neck when not in use.
My HP iPAQ bluetooth headset works fine as well.

QFT, Motorola S9 has performed well, all button functions seem to work properly & works & sounds great for playing audio off a micro SD. Just make sure the volume is up on the device to avoid background static from too low input volume.
Can anyone recommend something that already works well with HTC Touch/Pro?
Does Motorola S9 work with WM6 BT stack for stereo?
There are no good a2dp stereo headsets because the equalizer only works with wired headsets.. Htc: please fix this.
im using the sony stereo bluetooth headset hbh-ds980. works fine.. the volume for the music and for the phone calls are the same key but the headset keeps them programmed differently. so its nice. the onyl thing i saw that sucks is that it doesn't bring a clip to attach the receiver to your clothes.. so if you doing a lot of moving then its going to fly up and what not.. so thats annoying.. i took the clip from the standard HTC headphones that came with the phone and put it on the bluetooth and just slightly attach it to my shirt.
I'm using a Motorola S9 and it works perfectly. No problems at all, all buttons do work. Sound quality is very good!
One more vote for hbh-ds980. Been using it with polaris, diamond and HD. The music quality is quite good and functionality including addressbook and last calls access works fine.
The Motorola s9 HD's are out and the seem to have improved quite a bit. I personally have the regular s9's and they work great.
oh yea.. sry forgot to add.. haha. you can go into the recent calls list and into the phone book quite easily.. and have multiple devices hooked up at one time and get calls from them all..
the only problem is that i get the phone number instead of the persons name when they are claling me.. does anyone know why? the names show up when in the phonebook and everything..
Ok so not bluetooth but i use my sennheiser PXC 450, noise reduction...cant imagine better sound on the move
Sony DR-BT21G
I found an equalizer that works. The internal one in coreplayer.. Now nokia bh-903 bluetooth headset have bass and nice sound.
Hi! This issue has plagued me ever since i am using windows mobile. I own a TOUCH HD (though i think this issue is also with other windows mobiles) and a A2DP Stereo bluetooth headset from Sony.
http://images.google.nl/imgres?imgu...ox-a&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&sa=N&um=1
Now here's the problem. When I pair the phone with the Headset, it pairs the 2 services HANDSFREE & WIRELESS STEREO. Then i can listen to music via the headset.
When i turn the headset off and then back on again, it switches on the HANDSFREE ONLY !! And i have to go thru the following process to turn on the WIRELESS STEREO again:
1. on phone, click on Bluetooth Devices
2. select the headset device to view the 2 services (handsfree and wirless stereo). Both are selected. Deselect the Wireless Stereo service.
3. SAVE
4. on phone, click on Bluetooth Devices
5. select the headset device to view the 2 services (handsfree and wirless stereo). Re-select the Wireless Stereo service.
6. SAVE
Then it works again and i can listen to my music again.
Its a very annoying process and I wish someone could help me to explain if there is a faster way? Does everyone also have to go thru this process or am i doing something wrong?
Does there exist a program that can automate this process or any other solution?
looking forward to replies!
there are more than one small app to make it easy.i found one that works on my HD. uploaded for you here:

Pair your stereo headset and select the Heaset and Wireless Stereo profiles, this will work from start.
Next time you turn on your stereo headset it will only connect as standard headset (ie mono for phone calls)....
Just press the play/pause button on your headset and it will auto connect to A2DP stereo also.
Simple EH?
Tried that!
I have tried that, and do it on my laptop (another set and stereo profile only), it may be dependent on the headset you are using.
The Triangle Powers BT Stereo is mono output only, and made the audio quality poor on my HD. http://trianglepowers.com/PPC/ViewApp.aspx?ID=52
I installed teksoft A2DP Toggle 1.1 this morning http://teksoftco.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1885 and added it to the program button in TouchFlo, not the today screen. it seems to work fine if you press the button twice, better than 7 clicks. (My HD info in the signature, Telstra TouchFlo replaced by Standard HD)

If pushing the Play/Pause does not connect a previously paired BT Stereo Headset to your HD then it is not a true A2DP profile headset.
See if you can get your hands on a pair of folding Sony DR-BT22 headphones.
True A2DP with built in mike to answer incoming calls. Bass is very good and full funtion with the HD.
Highly recommended.

Agree
You guys are correct, the smaller headsets that try to share the Play/Answer/end button are probably the issue.
I have been using A2Dp Toggle 1.1 as mentioned and link above and it works great, no loss of sound noticed.
We should start an XDA (not just HTC) WiKi to list headsets that connect or not for WM5 and WM6.
HD Compatible Headphone
I have a Sony DR-BT50 headphone that works beautifully. The sound is brilliant for Music and particuarly movies that I have transferred from DVD to the HD with MP4HT4HD!
I never thought that i would watch a movie on a screen so small but the clarity is something else and the high audio signal with the bluetooth headphones make it a pleasure! Great for long layovers at airports etc.
Any in-ear types that work?
All the sets that I have seen posted as working are the full headphone (over ear) types, and this may again be a shared button thing.
Does anyone have / know of an in-ear / earbud type that works / connects correctly
A2DP Toggle 1.1
I dowmloade that A2DP Toggle 1.1 on my phone. I use HTC TYTN1 running Windows Mobile 6 Professional and this software gives hell to say the least.
When I connect it to my headset, it works fine BUT it does not pay MP3s on my headset. It keeps on saying ERR on the icon of the head speakers (the second icon form bluetooth icon). I even asked most of the technician but no one knows anythings. If anyone knows what my probles is, please rescue me!!!
I might be doing something, please help me guys
Toggle works for me!
I had the same problem, the triangle powers prog didn't work for me. In fact the headset icon was on but no playback.
The toggle 1.1 works, none of the funcitons described on it's website are available, setup and various icons are from the home page but HTC Touch HD home page doesn't support that.
Never the less, putting Toggle in my program list and using it toggles easy between phone speaker and headset. Like someone has already said, two clicks and we're in business from starting my van to getting music from my phone on the stereo. I'm happy enough with that.
I have a Pioneer stereo with Parat built in, so I get BT audio and Hands free calls. All seems to be working perfectly now. Thanks to this thread.
Hi All,
I have a 16GB TF .. and it's been very good so far. However, I'm having an issue that I think is probably simple .. but google & xda searches don't find anyone else with the same issue.
I want to use Skype over the tablet, but with a bluetooth headset. Using the TF with just the internal mic & speakers is pretty speakerphon-ish .. and I'd like to use a headset.
I have a couple of BT headsets (one of them 2.1 w/ EDR), and I can pair any / all of them to the TF. Problem is, the audio doesn't come through over the head set, and I don't know how to force it to.
The TF (now running 3.1) acknowledges that the headset is connected (to phone audio it says) .. but the only options in the configuration is to remove it.
What am I missing? I see reviews all over the place where folks are using the tablet to play movies in the car, and piping the audio out via BT? I think I must be missing a config step .. but can't find it.
Thanks for your help.
Im kind of in the same boat but I dont think honeycomb has a "phone audio" functionality. Only "media audio," which is what you would use when piping audio to external speakers.
its the same on the phone, those headsets only connect to mono phone audio so if I was playing a movie or music its silent. So for right now I think you are stuck until they figure out how to make specific apps recognize the phone audio device.
Makes some sense .. so it knows there's a "phone audio" aspect to things out there, but we don't have any way to force the Skype audio to be phone audio and not media.
So if I had a stereo headset, would the system work with it and pipe the audio out since it would recognize it as a media audio system?
Where does the mic fit in all of this?
I have a BT combination headset/headphones which I paired with the Transformer, and from testing it I can say the following:
1. The transformer paris with the device and recognizes both the "handsfree" and "media" profiles that the headphones support.
2. The "media" profile (also called A2DP, stereo bluetooth, etc) works fine. I have listened to music in stereo though them and all of the controls like play/pause and previous/next work properly. If you want to listen to movies, music, or whatever else you should be fine.
3. I can hear Skype through the headphones, but testing revealed that Skype is using the Transformer's build in microphone rather than the one in my headphoens. It also doesn't respond to the call button. Thus, it seems to be using the "media" profile to deliver sound.
So, even though the Transformer can clearly recognize handsfree profile, it either isn't passing it to apps or Skype isn't asking for it.
It looks like as long as you plan to be Skyping with the tablet infront of you, you can get almost the same functionality of a handsfree/headset by using a BT headphones instead. As long as you don't plan to leave the tablet in one room and talk in another you should be fine.
hey so i tried Super BT Mono Free Trial and it actually worked. thought it was Froyo only and reportedly broken with gingerbread.
using Samsung WEP450 paired "handsfree" profile, turned on Super BT Mono and to my surprise audio from music player routed to the BT headset. sound is crappy, and so far can't get audio from BeyondPod to the BT headset.
rooted 8.4.4.11 with netformer 1.5 OC 1.6 ghz and juwe11 ram profile.

Is there a way to modify the bluetooth code so that the "ear peice" via "bluetooth" will also give you "music" etc....
I mean if the phone detects the ear peice and plays all the calls thru the ear peice..... why cant it be hacked to also play internet music....
Thanks in advance....

Actually, I too would like to know if this is possible. Why can't it just be detected as wireless "headphones/headset".
Although I'm using an iPhone 4 so I'm sure that it'd be more difficult to do this if it is possible.

It depends on the activity the app code is running on the host device. All audio is able to be routed to the headphones. What kind of phone are you using?
It's not as simple as wired headphones. BT has something called profiles - each profile is for doing some particular thing - like transferring files, playing music, making calls, etc. For a particular feature to be supported, both the phone and the headset has to support that particular profile. Most android versions have support for most common profiles.
Calls are possible through profiles called HSP/HFP and stereo music is possible through profile called A2DP. Most of the mono headsets which are mainly for calling support only HSP/HFP and not A2DP - that's main reason you can't play music on most mono headsets. If you buy stereo BT headsets, they come with both HSP/HFP and A2DP - meaning they can support both calls and audio.
There are apps / hacks to stream music from an android phone to a mono headset through HSP/HFP. I've never tried any - you can look for those if you want to play music on your mono BT HSP headset.

Are you able to connect the device to a computer or tablet? I think it would depend on the drivers on the device you're connecting to. What are you trying to connect to? Does it detect your earpiece?
its a jabra bluetooth ear peice.
and theres several "mono" bluetooth apps on the market/play store.
I happened to try blue tooth mono router and it works fairly well.
seems to use aprox 3 to 5% of battery in aprox 15 to 20 mins.
