Recommended BT Headset for BA - MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Accessories

Hi,
Has anyone got any experience of using the Logitech Mobile Pro BT headset with the BA ? I have an SPV M2000 and seriously considering buying this becausde it has got good reviews: boom microphone which cuts out a lot of noise so your buddies can hear you clearly at the other end. It also has windstop technology built in that cuts out the wind noise when your driving with the window open.
Opinions appreciated!
Thanks

Honestly, my experience with the Logitech has been mixed. While I didn't have a problem with it with my 3650, it DOES have issues with the SPV M2000 ( which is what I have, running 3500 BT stack, still don't trust the 3900 enough to switch to it ). I think the issues I had ( I'm trying out a Moto HS850 for a week. I'll give it a week. ) have had more to do with the BA's poor BT implementation than the Logitech itself. My issues primarily had to do with volume ( I could not EVER find a comfortable volume level, usually even turned up, it was always too low to be useful with the SPV ).
There's the ever-present static, and then there were issues with not being able to switch to it.
As always....your mileage may vary....

Has anyone tried the new Jabra BT800 with the Blue Angel?

Considering purchasing the new Jabra headset but I've noticed that it supports Bluetooth 1.2. Is this a problem and should I stick with the Jabra 250 (works fine)
Hmm, the 250 is the one that's supposed to have problems with audio quality according to BT, so I'm slightly confused!
Buy mail order, and if you don't like it you've got the opportunity to return it under the distance selling act.
Oh, and post the results
Bluetooth sucked until I upgraded to 3500. After that...all was well. I will post the results on the new Jabra when it arrives.
Have u got ur jabra yet? Tell us ur thoughts how it's working with PDA2K.
Thanks.
Hi,
There is a topic at PocketPC Dubai (under "Jabra BT800 and PDA2k") and the experiences of various people over there are not that encouraging. I myself found the statement: "spoke to the technical guys there and they said that Jabra has told them clearly that the BT800's caller ID function will never work with any PPCPE" kinda sad news.

bt800 with XDA2S
hi i have bt 800 paired with XDA2S
END IT WORKS 100% WITH CALLER ID
I CAN SEE THE CALLER PHONE NO PERFECTLY
I read the review, it's pretty expensive. I will have to wait for the price to go down and then buy some months later. With the Earphone mod, I am pretty happy how it is working out.
Hi All
I am succesfully using the bt800 with and XDA2s. The caller ID works fine.
i have the O2 Asian BT fix installed on the XDA until the O2 European Patch is released.

I nearly bought one of these until I read a load of customer reviews saying how bad the sound was and that it wasn't loud enough. In the end I bought the Cardo Scala 500.
Not a good experience. Range of about 2 metres (as long as it's line of sight) before the crackles start. Ok if you are calling someone, but takes 3 seconds or so to realise that youre recieving a call. Displays the callers number, so it conveniently tells you whos call you're about to miss because the pickup button works when it feels like it! (picked up 1 call in 4 today). When it does pick up a call it takes 5-6 seconds before you can hear each other
It's off back to the shop tomorrow. even the O2 Blue I sent back was better than this.....
I have been trying a few different headsets.
I am still using my Cardo Scala 500 which overall seems to work the best.
Best sound quality so far for me is Cardo Scala 500. This is also the loudest headset I have ever tried. On max setting it is actually too loud.
Best reported sound quality for person on other end is Motorola HS810.
Best connection in terms of range, pairing, reacquisition of signal is Scala 500.
Most reliable in terms of controls and function actually working was Southwing NeoVoice USB. The functions like pickup, hang up, transfer to headset, transfer to phone, readial etc ALWAYS worked, but the controls are fiddly cos you have to do everything using the little multifunction wheel.
Southwing was cool cos you could charge it from a USB port.
Motorola HS810 will also do this if you can find the right cables but Motorola don't tell you this.
Scala is very cool because it comes with some nice accessories like a neck lanyard, carry clip and a fitting that allows you to attach it to your glasses instead of hooking it over your ear.
In the next few days I should be getting my hands on a SonyErricson HBH-660.
Hi, Just a quickie about the Cardo Scala 500 does this stop the echoing you sometimes get with some headsets..
Cheers
Ian
I have not experienced any echo on the Scala so far.
There's some static from time to time but you have to expect that with any bluetooth audio.
Generally the sound is crisp and clear at my end and I have had the occasional complaint from other people that I sound like I'm in a tunnel or "tinny".
On some occasions there is just a lot of interference from something (it's always hard to tell what) which makes it hard for the other person to hear me, but even if there is static on the headset I never have difficulty hearing them.
As with any of these things "your mileage may vary".
I recommend that you try one by buying it from a website like expansys and treat it like a two week free trial as you can always send things back under the distance selling act as long as you keep them in good condition and retain all packaging.
I have the BT800, and the called ID feature works perfectly. It came with 3 chargers: USB, AC, and DC (car). It also came with a belt pouch. I haven't had any complaints from anyone about sound quality. It also works well when you dial out, and the volume is fine, sometimes even a little too loud. Pairing was easy, and the MDAIII picked it up easily.
Now for the negatives. When my MDAIII is in standby mode, and a call comes in, the headset and caller ID usually won't register until the 2nd or 3rd call or so, about 3 seconds. Once it does, sometimes it has a hard time answering the call when I press the answer button, and you can't hear anything for a second or 2. The static varies from moderate to none, but still audible even with static.
All in all, I would say that it is a decent headset. I am pleased with it. I wish that it was easier in answer mode, but I understand that these things aren't perfect. I got mine on Ebay for US$85.30 after shipping.
Hi All,
Used the BT800 with my IIs and it paired and worked well. CallerID functioned as per advertised. Ringtones and Vibra alert were also interesting. The only thing that I didn't like about it was it's size, so I'm back to using my Jabra BT250/FS258....Jabra hurry up and release the BT500 in Australia would ya?!
I added the new BT800 CAB that came with the new 1.40 ROM. The sound quality is much, much clearer now. However, I have trouble answering an incoming call from the headset. Has anyone had this trouble?
Jabra BT250 & XDA IIs
Hi there, read with interest all your comments on bluetooth performance. Is there actually anyone out there with a descent performance from the Jabra 250 and an XDA IIS. All I get is SERIOUS crackle and very poor comms quality for the other listener. This headset worked fine on my Nokia but I cannot get anything with the XDA IIs! Any thoughts / comments welcome.
"I have trouble answering an incoming call from the headset. Has anyone had this trouble?"
ditto i went to the web site and they said that the TB800 was not be to use with the PDA2K; think i they knew about the 3-10sec. delay problem
Quite a few people seem to be saying that Caller ID "works perfectly".
I have to totally disagree with that. It only shows the number that is calling you, not the name listed in your Contacts. Thats pants!
Remember Xda1 early roms that wouldn't show the name in incoming text messages, only the number? Well for me this is worse as I get far more voice calls than texts.
JD
Hello everyone.
I have BIGGEST problem with answering option of BT 800.
I use it with Qtek 9090.
I wonder if anybody of you have any expirince to solve this problem.
Everything works fine exept answering function.
I spoked with Jabra customer service and they told me that new software update for this BT headset will be evalubale soon. But ... reallly don't know if it really could help. Think that possibly the situation could be in the ROM. Currently I'm using Dangard ROM 1.44.
Hope you can help me.
Regards!

Bluetooth Stereo Headset

Hi,
I am looking for a bluetooth stereo headset. Where can i find one
which is good sound output , reliable and long batt life. I want to be able
to listen to mp3's and calls thru my XDAIIs.
Any ideas?
http://www.blueant.com.au/
Wow, a bit pricey. Do you have 1st hand experience with this device? The reason that I am asking is that tha xda II / III's have traditionally had bad bluetooth reception. Before I dish out 300 bucks I would want to make sure that it did not suffer from the same bluetooth static that the headsets are having with the xda's.

I tried many bluetooth stereo headset, and wasted hell of money on trying many of them, considering the bad bluetooth reception of the PDA2K, the best bluetooth stereo headseat works with it is motorola HS820 it works well within the range of 1 to 1.5 meters from the PDA2K.
"6 talking hours - 100 hours stand by".
I'm still waiting for the up-grade which was promissed to be developed to improve the performance of PDA2K's bluetooth reception.

Don't worry, I talked with the live chat on iMates site and they asured me that the bluetooth issue would be resoved soon.
Now that was 6 months ago and 2 ROM updates, I am still holding my breath....
The Motorola HS820 isn't a STEREO bluetooth headset, but I agree that it's one of the better regular bluetooth headsets for the phone. I also bought the Motorola HS850, which is the update to the 820. The bluetooth performance was definitely better than the 820's performance but I ended up giving it back anyway because the volume is too low for me.
bluetooth stereo headset
don't buy this product. http://www.blueant.com.au/. I called up the guy to enquiry this product. AT first, they did not include HP IPAQ 6365 in the list of compatibility. After I talked to him, they claimed it was working properly but they did not money into their mouth so the next day, they included as part of the list of compatibilty.
second, the guy also told me that it did not include a dongle which can support A2P2 therefore it will not work for HP IPAQ 6365 as it did not have A2P2 software hence it will not answer phone call and listen to MPEQ music in stereo manner.

The Motorola HS820's volume is not low for me, but I do receive some complains "sometimes" from the other parties saying that my voice is low and they ask me to raise my voice, but some other times it works fine.
Hold on....
Are you guys talking about headset or handsfree?
So far I understand hs-850 is a handsfree bluetooth (not a headset bluetooth).
Correct me if I am wrong.

They waiting for me at home, (I'm currently in the US) so I will let you know next week.
Well I'm listening to The Killers over HQ A2DP stereo
I had to use the BT hack stack here to get it working.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=15671&highlight=stereo+headset
I have paired the handsfree profile as well. The problem is however the handsfree is not working very. Also the pause and stop buttons don't work with WMP10.
Will post updates if I get any other stuff working.
I just got the Zonet ZUB8100 from Newegg -- only $120 after rebate (which ended yesterday). Works very well as stereo headpnones with my SX66, not so well as a voice headset. You can connect the BA to it in both A2DP and handsfree profiles simultaneously, so it should be possible to answer the phone while listening to music. No caller ID, AFAICT -- well for $120 you can't expect perfection
There's no mic boom, so the mic is in the left earpiece, a bit too far from your mouth. That in combination with the standard headset issues with the BA results in quite a bit of static and the person on the other end barely able to hear you.
Well guys, I dont recommend the Sonorix or infact any BT Stereo headset unless you like pain.
They are a peice of crap.. wasted $150 dollars Sad
Sound is muddy and they not very comfortable. (Granted I'm used to my Sennheiser HD500's). Not to mention it takes ages of fiddling to get A2DP working and then it doesnt work well.
I think Bluetooth is a waste of time. When Bluetooth2 comes out and is properly supported i might give it a second chance.
In the meantime I'm going to use these instead:
http://www.seidio.com/index_products_pda2k_headset.htm
I bought the Motorola HT 820. Works pretty good for answering phone and stereo music on sx66 after some bluetooth updating and adding profile. Not too comfy but tolerable for $89--took a couple of weeks to arrive.
Haven't used them for prolonged periods but they work for a couple of hours at a time.

Which Bluetooth Stereo Headset are you using?

Hi all:
--
I was wondering which BT Stereo Headset [not headphones meaning I can make calls etc] you guys are using with your HTC Wizard or any A2DP device for that matter.
--
My criteria:
1) can be used well with my dopod 838
2) fits well [this is subjective]
3) doesn't move around when I turn my head
4) good battery performance
5) price is not much of an issue
--
I am looking at the following Headsets:
1) Motorola HT820
2) iPhono PLUS BT420Rx
3) iPhono mini BT450Rx
4) iTech S35
5) iTech R35
--
I put the iTech's at 4 and 5 because even if they are BT headsets they still have wires danggling about in other words they are psuedo-wireless .
--
So what are your thoughts about these headsets? Any other headsets I should be looking at? Personal experiences, Links to reviews and/or online shops are welcome. Thanks in advance
a teeny little bump, as i'm looking for one now. (lost the original wired headset)
still no replies... anyway just went around a famous mall here in manila and they don't have any stereo bt headsets! damn!

Was in a mall last night and was told by an okley sunglasses salesperson that they will have a sunglasses/stereo BT headset for music phones soon. Be about $225us I was also told if and when they do come out.
Grey
probably a variant of the RAZR wire also from Moto/Oakley [which was an MP3 + shades solution] the problem is I have glasses [thick ones at that... I dunno if the ones you are talking about will have prescription lenses
Wow thats a bit too expensive for something i'll probably loose or break...
After reading the reviews around a bit i finally decided to go with these:
http://www.bluetake.com/Products/BT450Rx.htm
I will let you guys know when i've formed an opinion about them
Samsung SBH-100 is real nice Bluetooth Stereo Headset
http://www.mobile-review.com/review/samsung-sbh100-en.shtml
^ those look nice
i'm waiting for something with in ear headphones or the ability to use them
this looks great coming from SE
http://www.sonyericsson.com/spg.jsp...1&template=pp4_1_1&zone=pp&lm=pp4_1&pid=10394
guy s quick quesiton, .....do other version have the ad2 profile, ...infortunelty i dont think my 8125 has that....at least without using a dongle the size of my phone. Any firmware enhancements to get that profile ????lol
I installed the latest rom (2.8?) and it should have that a2dp in it.
I should be receiving my iphones today so i will let you know if it works.
so the 8125 is compatable with the ad2 profile def let me knw that would be great damn these devices are great
Finally! just received the i-phono 450rx
It works! And might I say, quite beautifully too.
Very decent sound quality (playing music now) I'm test-wearing it now and it's still pretty comfortable after 2 hours use.
There is a very slight hiss, only audible when no sound is playing.
The phone-headset function is not fantastic but people can understand me and i understand them. So what more do i want?
Bought it for playing music anyway.
I'm not really sure what a 8125 is, but if it's a "HTC wizard-device" it should work with the latest rom.
edit:
I just saw this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=42569
its about a2dp and your 8125, you might get it to work without a rom ugrade
thanks man
How will I know when the A2DP update is availailable other than this site? Where are the updates usually found? I really am anxiously awaiting being able to purchase a good set of bt headphones for my 8125.

Can you advise whether the iPhono 450rx support voice dialling please?
TIA
CodeMonkey
Finally got my own stereo bt headsets. Got myself an iTech Blueband [it looks the same as the Sonorix and ANYCOM headsets] it works with the Qtek Test ROM although sometimes the music cuts in and out. Also it is not as comfortable [for my ears atleast]
Alternately I use a bluespoon ax2, and a jabra bt250v. love them both.

I have the 450rx and according to the manual there is no way to actually initiate the voice dialing from the headset itself. I havent got the manual with me atm but from memory it said something like: For voice dialing, you must initiate the voice dial function from the handset and then you can talk into the microphone to tell the phone / pda who to call etc.
So, technically it is sort of possible, but i would prefer not to have to press the voice dial button on the K-JAM as it sort of defeats the purpose of using the voice dial function. Even though i have only just got the 450rx (and can't use it as i-mate still hasn't released A2DP) i am already on the lookout for a stereo headset that has PROPER voice dial.
Cheers,
Chris

Bluetooth headsets Compatiblity!!!

Okay, I'm not trying to reinvent the will. I'm curious thought, what are some good compatible bluetooth headsets for HTC TC? What are the bad ones? ....using Murato Radio and Original Rom!!!! Or any other radio/Rom combo!
I have seen a post on headsets/stereo music/phone thread. But not one with a specific list of compatible headsets.
I'm asking because I'm trying to figure out if my brand new (one week old) device have a bad bluetooth problem or do I need another headset. Currently using Plantronics Voyager 510, and I cant go 3 feet without it getting choppy and static, sound quality is f**k*d up!!!!
So I will post first: Plantronics Voyager 510 ....NOPE!!
Just be sure and purchase from a place that allows returns if you're not happy with them. Find some you like on your own.

Jabra JX10 Series II: Works well
I love my Jabra BT620S
well i have a Plantronics Voyager 510 and have been using it first with Artemis and now with Polaris and i have to say its THE BEST heatset i have ever used (and there have been many!)
good up to 15m and sound perfect.... you have something wrong either with the headset you have or your Polaris
I'm currently using Philips SHB9000. At first signt, it pairs but no headset icons on the top bar (which means all the sound goes through the speakerphone).
Using BTAudio, sound gets redirected to the headset (still no headset icon) but quality is awful, using HomeScreen PlusPlus UI A2DP option the icon appears and sound is incredibly good.
I was using Murata radio/udK R8 when I bought it one week ago. Changing radio or ROM did not change anything so either it is OS or headset related.
Regarding your choppy sound, try this method (especially for Plantronics Voyager 510) : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2533699&postcount=13, this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2533699&postcount=14 and this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1317007&postcount=18

Thanks for the resource everyone. I appreciate the response and the help.
I purchased the Plantronics Discovery 655, and guess what? The exact same thing is happening. I still get choppy reception at times.
though I have noticed it is slightly better then the previous headset. And people who I'm tallking to say that I sound alot more clearer.
My conclusion, now, my phone has a bad radio. Either the bluetooth hardware is jacked...or my radio is horrible.
What do you guys think?
BTW i purchased it from a website and I didnt get any warranty on it.
So I called HTC and complained about my bluetooth connection. The lady (valerie) told me that as long as it works, they are not interested in the quality of the connection. After complaining a little more, I ended with the conclusion that I have to test alot of headsets until I find the right one. So to add to this thread:
Good connection will be defined as, "clear crispy hearing on both ends, no static and choppy sounds, and the ability to walk away at most 6 feet (maybe 3 meters) from the phone and still maintain sound quality connection with the phone: Good connection".
So those who have post already with their headset, can you repost to determine if you have "Good connection". My only purpose for this is to purchase this time the "right" headset instead of numerous returns to the store to find the perfect one.
Jabra JX10 series II
Jabra BT6210S
Phillip SHB9000
Do all of these fit the Good Connection definition?
Thanks for all who have post. I truly appreciate your help. You are helping me save money and time!!!!
Yes, JX10 series II: Good connection (FYI, not sure about the series I, as there are some firmware changes that happened.)
I think I can say that Phillip SHB9000 has out-of-the-box a fairly good connection (did not test the 3 meters test yet and had natively choppy sound before the registry modification) with my TC.
After the reg modification it has a good connection (still did not checked the 3 meters connection but I never get disconnected), but it can't be compared to the 2 Jabras at it is really dedicated to listening to music (covers almost all your ears). It is the first time I'm buying that type of headset and it is really a different world than usual headsets (intra auricular or in-ear). The sound is clear and all details are present.
The only drawback compared to the other is obviously the size...
BTW, disconnection problem with Jabra headsets could be solved by HTC official Bluetooth fixes (as one has been especially made for them) and BT disconnection is also relying to the ROM version.

Jabra BT8040
I use the Jabra BT8040. It has as major advantage that it not only supports the handsfree profile, but also wireless 'stereo' (A2DP), so I'm able to listen to music on the headset too.
thanks muyz
after applying the patches from HTC's website, my Jabra BT500 works pretty good. the issues before were addressed and it works fine now as a hands free in the car headset.
i have tested it while walking and talking and something strange i've never encountered: crackling noise. it's as if i was on a wired set with bad wires. as soon as i stop moving, the connection is back to normal. strange. this is why i said it's great for in car connection since the phone and your head will stay relatively static.
looking for a new headset myself actually.
Hi,
I'm using the Jabra BT3030 which also support A2DP for my music listening. After I applied the bluetooth fix from the htc website it's working flawlessly, with no loss of connection as it did before the patch. Very happy with it.
what does the Jabra BT3030 look like? Is it jus the dog tag thing...or is it also wired or wireless plugins? Can you take a quick pic and upload?
Thanks
I tried looking online and I only see the tag piece...is that it?
i'm using Jabra BT620s - work's perfect
i had just some break's in stereo while running in traffic (maybe caused by other BT devices from cars?) - so I changed A2DP setting in SKTools and now it's perfect
strongly recomend
slightly off topic, but what are the registry hacks people keep mentioning
I have 8 cruises for my company's engineers and all of them are moaning about the carkit connections. We have applied the hot fixes and they are still generally rubbish
a selection of the carkits ;
nokia ck 7w
motorola HF 850
focus c-max bluetooth in car
Auidi bluetooth in car
various jabra headsets
motorola HS 800
Keeps cutting out. poor/ tinny sounding, mine (Moto hf 850) makes outgoing calls ok (sometimes) but takes about 15 seconds to hear voice of othter caller on incoming
???????????

Anyone ? this phone is pants, great pda tho
…and for the HBH-DS980 ?
I have a Jabra X10 Serie II, but I want a HBH-DS980.
Is there someone who know if it works with Polaris ?
I mean, every function of the headset [playlist, list contacts, etc…].
Thanks for your feedback.
It doesn't work fully with anything, its pants !
and even when it does work fully ... it stops working when it feels like it !

BT stereo headset

After I got my Tilt 2, I was looking for something wireless for listening to music (I Might)
I was thinking having Jawbone prime as my car bt device.
Looked and searched through the internet, nothing was reasonable price and suitable for working out / treadmill until I ran into this.
http://www.tigerdirect.ca/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=5008646&sku=M151-2514
Its motorla, but a few reviews on the internet looks good. Not sure how well it will work on the rhodium phones. Anyone got any ideas.
Site is Canadian, but I'm sure there are alot of US sites.
I use the s305 with my ATT tp2 with energyrom, and it works fine. The incoming call quality is nice and loud, and people on the other end report that they can hear my clearly, but ofcourse its nowhere near as clear as my jawbone 2 in the outgoing department. The volume is pretty decent, with the phone on 100% volume in both system and pocketplayer, i can leave the s305 at about 50% volume and still be able to get enough volume to drown out a moderately filled starbucks.
65 dollars seems a bit steep though, i bought it locally at a fry's for 50, and prior to that i saw it even cheaper still online, i just couldn't wait for delivery as i was going on a trip and needed a replacement for my plantronics 855, which had better noise isolation but the incoming calls had my voice in it as an echo, and in-ear solutions sometimes is a hit or miss in fitment....in my case it was a miss.
I recommend the s305's if you prefer to still be able to hear around you, i use these when i'm cycling so i can still hear my surroundings.
I should also mention that since A2DP and headset are two different profiles, you can pair your jawbone for headset (its the only profile it supports) and deselect headset but leave bt stereo checked for the s305 and they will not conflict with each other even if they're both on simultaneously. The s305 also supports multiple connections simultaneously so if you happen to have a seperate bt stereo source (i use a samsung p2 as a dedicated mp3 player to save on my phone's power sometimes) you can pair the s305 to both and have them both be connected at the same time, and it will switch from one mode to the other if a call comes in and switch back when the call ends.
i have a nokia bluetooth headset which i think is brilliant. i dont listen to music on my tp2 but always use it with my nokia e51. it should work fine witht he tp2 aswell.
its the nokia bh103 Link
i use it for sat nav + music on the same phone at the same time while riding my bicycle and its great.

After I got my Tilt 2, I was looking for something wireless for listening to music (I Might)
I was thinking having Jawbone prime as my car bt device.
Looked and searched through the internet, nothing was reasonable price and suitable for working out / treadmill until I ran into this.

Its motorla, but a few reviews on the internet looks good. Not sure how well it will work on the rhodium phones. Anyone got any ideas.
Site is Canadian, but I'm sure there are alot of US sites.
