I just got the x3 blueant bluetooth headset. It was very easy to setup, but it's also not my first headset. The sound quality is ok coming in but everyone complains of interference. Has anyone had experience with blueant and their products? I may return it since I have a 15 day policy. I really need to find a headset and am having no luck. Can anyone suggest a good BT headset?
thats strange - cause its worked GREAT for me ..
as I said in one of my other posts the x3 blueant even goes thru walls and I have not had any problems with it and my Tytn; for a while I even used the 3.5mm transmitter dongle that comes with it to listen to my OLD SCHOOL mp3 player in the gym
I have done the A2Dp hack and the sound quality is awesome before and after the hack ...
i am debating between the blueant, jabra 500v, and the plantronics 645. any opinions?

Well my wired headset decided to stop working today! Not really interested in buying a bluetooth headset so can any body recommend a good audio quality wired headset with a mic so i can still make calls?
Unbelievable! I came here to post almost exactly the same message. I too am looking for wired headset (with mic) recommendations. Anyone?
guys im after finding out the wiring n connections inside the mic/button/volume unit. Are you electronicly minded and would take em apart and do a diagram for me. if not where are you and would you be up for sending them to me. I can then post this info on here.
Ive come to the conclusion that bluetooth cant do what i need to need to work with wired units.

I like the wired one that came with my phone. I'll look for a link but I picked up one last time I was in Taipei...

If you have a TMobile store or Cingular Store around they might just give you a wired headset from the display box...I think that most people "throw" them away and go for the BT headsets.
Just another random thought.

After much research and experimentation, I finally found and acquired the Shure i2c-T, which is promoted for the Treo 650 but works perfectly with my 8125 - very well-made, thick cable, monster dual-speaker in-the-ear speakers - VoiceCommand works fine with this - I am very pleased with this set. I found it for under $100 by shopoing around online.
Hi everyone
I need help choosing between 2 bluetooth stereo headphones:
1) Sony Ericson HBH-DS970
-$60 CAD used from someone local (he claims it is not a fake)
2) Jabra BT8010
-about $110-140 CAD on eBay
I am having a hard time deciding between the two.
Are they both equally compatible with the Hermes? Which one has better sound quality when playing music?
Please help me decide or a different BT headphone that you think is better.
Thanks
I just tried out the SE DS970 and I was not impressed with the audio quality. there was no skipping because I used Sleuth's patch and I tried all the BT quality settings using the HTCtweak but the audio quality was poor compared to the OEM USB headphones. I am certain it was not a fake. Is that normal sound quality on the Hermes?
I hope someone can comment on this.
There are two threads with extensive discussion on the SE HBH-DS970 and also some on the Jabra 8010

Try these.
I personally use the SonyEricsson and am very happy with the quality. The bass is particularly good.
I have not tried the Sony, but looking at the comments and the ergonomy of the headphone, it may provide better bass than the BT8010.
The BT8010 sound is well balanced with good bass, but the reason I am using it is that it is flexible. it can convert from a headset to a headphone very easily.
When used as a headset, you can get A2DP sound in your ear including phone ring, Voice command and system sounds.
It has also a vibrate function so you can put it in your pocket and still get those phone calls.
No compatibility issue whatsoever with Hermes.
For best sound on the go I am using the superwifi5 with BT320s or simple cable adaptor cable as Sling Video has some trouble to keep up with WiFi and BT A2DP at the same time
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

I have a Jabra X10 Serie II, but I want a HBH-DS980.
Is there someone who know if it works with Polaris ?

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 !
bloody irrational. must be female
Hi
I saw several post re: listen music/video via bluetooth...but didn't find one for samsung vibrant specifically. I have 2 bluetooth headset - Motorola H505 and Samsung WEP405, both of which pairs and connects to my vibrant easily (I haven't root my phone), and i can get phone call sound but I can't listen to music or get sounds while watching video via bluetooth, sound just comes out from speaker. I checked bluetooth setting --> option --> shows check mark next to "connect" and "phone audio" but as I read several places, I don't see option for "Media audio".
Can someone help to resolve this issue...if I can get around this with my exisiting two bluetooth headset or i need to get any specific bluetooth which is compatible with this function ?
Thank you.
Motorola H505 and Samsung WEP405
are not bluetooth stereo headphones, you can not use this stream media audio, you can only use these for phone audio
The phone knows it is not a BT stereo headphone, this is the reason why it is not giving you the media audio option.

Thanks for your input, though would you please tell me what are my other option (bluetooth models) that would work for above mentioned function.
You need a bluetooth headset that has the a2dp profile on it in order to stream media.
I've read somewhere that the motorokr s9 headset is really good.
I'm also out shopping for a BT earpiece that I can listen to music omw to work.
Here's the list I currently have in mind:
Plantronics Voyager 855 Stereo Bluetooth Headset
Polaroid Pbt325Blk Bt325 Stereo Bluetooth® Headset
Samsung Modus 3500 Mono & Stereo Bluetooth Headset
Jabra BT8010
BlueAnt Q2
BlueAnt T1
Jawbone ERA
I'm kinda leaning towards the BlueAnt Q2 or the Jawbone ERA that just came out.

I did go ahead and looked at those bluetooth headsets.
Neither of them seem to support the profile that you need in order to stream media. Make sure that when you are looking for bluetooth products the profile description says "A2DP".

I have the original Motorola S9's, and they are pretty good. The S9 HD's (just the newer version) are supposedly a bit easier on the ears than the originals. They're worth up to ~$60 imo. So if you can get them for around that or less, that's a good buy.
I have a Sony MW600. You can get it for about $50 and rather than a clip-on, it's just a little module that you can plug regular headphones into. It has a decent microphone and the sound quality is excellent.

Try this application from market....called "super bluetooth mono froyo"....you will find it in first 10-20 search results. Then follow the instruction...very easy....which enabled my existing bluetooth samsung wep450...which works fine with all audio (including media and video) - haven't tried my motorola bluetooth yet.
Anyone know of a good set of bluetooth stereo earbuds? I don't want headphones and I'd like something that can be used for phone calls as well.
I'm not exactly hard of hearing, but I do hear much better with earbuds in both ears than with just one.
Any suggestions?
I use the Jabra Clipper. It charges with the same cable that comes with the Note and it also allows you to use any type of miniplug headphone, as it's a powered BT receiver. It has a mic built in, too.

I use these both of these, mainly at the gym, I like them a lot...
http://www.plantronics.com/us/product/backbeat-903-plus - I like these the best
http://store.sony.com/webapp/wcs/st...10551&langId=-1&productId=8198552921666198163
I bought these, Samsung HS3000, a while back for my Captivate and in anticipation of the Note.
I like them because I can pop in my Sony studio cans or IEMs. Almost went with the Jabra Clipper mentioned above. With either of set you can jack them into a stereo Auxiliary and use your phone as a wireless remote.
I guess I'm most interested in Voice Quality. I want two earbuds in my ear. I want to easily hear someone when I am talking to them. I don't want the person on the other end of the call to know that I'm using bluetooth.
What are your voice call experiences with these?
