Hi everybody,
After upgrading my MDA III successfully with Qtek ROM (thanks to the nice information on this forum).
I am looking to solve my second issue which is the stereo headset. In fact, I buy my MDA III in london in second hand. There was no stereo headset given with it. Therefore, I have bought in a shop a stereo headset supposed to be the original one for Xda2s, but unfortunatly when I use it, there is only one side of the headset no stereo. If I unplug a bit the headset I have the stereo, but it is really not practical to use. The problem is that I am not sure the problem come from the headset or the MDA III.
Does anybody got the same issue, and know if it is normal that the headset from Xda2s doesn't work ?
Also, does anybody knows where I can find a place to buy a stereo headset with microphone which surely work with the MDA III ?
Thanks.
Julien.

Hi!
I have the exact same problem with my stereo headset! The earpiece on the side of the mic does not work.
The trick of unplugging the headset connector a bit to get stereo works, but if you turn your volume up past a sertain point the earpiece will stop working again. And recently this trick has completly stopped working for me even when the volume is low.
So today I went to the a phoneshop to buy a new (original) headset for my Qtek 9090.
I asked to test the headset just to be sure that it worked.
But sadly enough the problem of one earpiece not working was still there.
Maybe this is a hardware problem?
Thanks for your help "FFVIII".
But in fact before buying a new earphone I want to be sure this time, that it will work has expected. In fact, I have already waste some money on some try, and I am kind of fed up about it.
So, if somebody on this forum, has find a stereo earphone with mic, fully working with a T-Mobile UK MDA III (I think MDA III is enough), I would be happy to know where I can get one.
My neck would really appreciate to have a earphone, especially for long phone call
Julien.
id really like to use my sony MDR-EX71SLB Fontopia Headphones with my MDA III, is there an adapter that will work with blueangel from 2.5mm plug to 3.5mm socket to get stereo when playin mp3?
I have order this handsfree kit :
http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/product/5846.htm
I really hope this time it will work, otherwise it will be another waste of money.
I order this one because it was written "genuine t-mobile mda III earphones", so I hope it will work, otherwise I will start to think that my MDA has an hardware issue. :shock:
But also I saw so many people having the same problem that I have doubt it's an hardware issue. I will give you my feedback when I received it, if it's work or not. :roll:
Cross your finger for me
i got the genuine PTT/heapset with my MDA, they work ok but fall out of your ears to easily imo
I have a bad news. I have received the new earphone that I order. Like I said, those earphone where supposed to be the genuine T-Mobile earphone. But in fact I still have the problem of only one side working when I plug the earphone totally. If I unplug a bit it's working.
So, I get so much bad luck about this, and specially since the earphone is exactly the same as the one I already bought.
I am really starting to think that the probleme is an hardware issue. If somebody has better luck.
It sounds like a hardware issue, the reason you can hear through left and right earphones when you pull the headset out slightly is because you are crossing the pins for left and right from the device to the jack plug, to put it simply, your hearing one channel through both headphones not stereo. Just a thought, is the track your trying to listen to definately in stereo?

The mobilefun one looks a bit flimsy and expensive to me! I can make you one at the length you want but the lead will be based on the same design as you have seen in the listings except shorter and without the extra jack socket. I am about to make some of the leads without the extra jack socket but with a microphone inline if that sounds better for you? It is up to you, just let me know :lol:

Thanks Padlad, yes it is a bit pricey condsidering the excact same one for the XDA 2 is 5.99 :? , although flimsy looking I don't want to stress the socket with to much weight or chance of snagging it, as if that goes I'm buggerd.
Although I did notice you use RadioShack style beefy connectors that are much better for sound quality. I am impressed with your Mic/handsfree system, can I record through it? and or make calls useing my Sony ECM-717 3.5 stereo Mic? How much for a short 3inch one with mic+headphones? And how much for just a headphone out adaption? deliverd to the U.K. at a Buy It Now price. many thanks choppidge.

You can record voice/sound through it if it has a mic, if you wanted to use your ECM-717 3.5 stereo Mic then you would have to have two 3.5mm jack plugs, one for your stereo output (headphones) and one for your ECM-717. 3 inch is too small to make due to the size of the strain relief on the jack plug (i made one for myself at 4 inch with mic and it is just too rigid), the minimum size so as to allow for the cable to flex and not be too rigid is 5 inch without mic and 6 inch with mic. In order to give you a price i need to know whether you want to buy it through Ebay or buy it privately using Paypal (i have to take into account Ebay's selling charges if the adapter is sold through them) I'm easy either way, it is up to you.

Sent you a PM regarding the above.
RadioShack has these headphones on clearance for $80 and through June 3rd you can take an additional 50% off that, bringing the price down to $40. I bought these a few months ago and love them. They dont have as much control as the Motorola HS820's (only one action buttion instead of a separate music and telephone one), but the range is amazing. I get a full 300ft, not 30, with my 8125. The HS820's are on clearance for $80 too, but you only get to take off an extra 30%. making them about $56.
For those who have ipods, theres also a device called the naviplay that adds A2DP to the ipod for about $25 after discounts. I picked one of those up today. These are brick and mortar deals, not through the website.
Got a pair
Saw your post, called the local stores. Second store I called had one pair. Charging now...thanks
Great Find!
Do they suffer from the hiss and pop problem that some other headphones have?
I never noticed any popping. I think they sound pretty damn good. There is also a coupon for $10 off a $30+ purchase. Something they're doing for fathers day. Technically not supposed to be combinable with clearance stuff, but you may be able to do it. They usually keep extras in the store. You could go up to a clerk and say you forgot your coupon at home and ask if they'll give you another one or just ring you up with it. That'd bring the total for the headphones down to $30.
I just got em and tested them really quik, there is no hiss or pops that I notice and I have made no changes to the BT stereo settings on my phone! GREAT FIND!
Still Smoking
Cheers everyone,
Thanks for the great advice on the Spider headphones for 40 bucks. I went right out and got myself a pair. For that price, how could you go wrong. Plus, it is at radioshack, so no problems with returns.
I have been researching bluetooth headsets for some time and did see that these were smaller than some of the other headsets. I have worn them for hours at a time and find them very light and comfortable for long time listening.
I did see where some people were having battery charging problems right out of the box, so I was ready for that. I returned 2 pair before getting it all right on the 3rd one. It did not take long to figure out that the battery was having problems. The guy at the store just gave me another one without any hassles or questions.
I have been using the stereo headset that came with my cingualr 8125 for about 8 months and was very tired of the wired headest. I was reading about all of you guys partying with your cordless bluetooth stereo headset and was just waiting for the right time to make the move. I was hearing that some people were having all sorts of problems including gaps in the music.
It was the right time for me, as the new Bluetooth stuff all seems to work almost perfectly. By the Way, I do LOVE my 8125!!! I have watched all of the ROM stuff for months, and finally made the change to a Windows Mobile 6 ROM with the help from all of you cool *****ing Dudes (sorry, I am a California Santa Cruz Surfer) That is just my way of saying thanks!!!
All of the controll functions seem to work on the stereo headset. Once again I have a WM6 ROM with all of the fixes to the bluetooth stuff... I can controll music functions, answer the phone and have the music pause, and then resume after the call without problems.
Once again thanks to everyone that makes this internet site possible. These 8125's are so COOL and have so many possibilities! My next adventure with this phone will be with GPS.
Keep on Chill'in and Grill'in
So many to choose from, so many of them crappy.
I've tried the Sony ericsson HBH-DS970 and Itech R-35, the sony had good sound but too many connection issues etc, the itech only worked -ok- and had a flimsy spring/generally low quality feeling and glitches.
These are ones that I think -might- work well, I've probably overlooked some: Nokia BH-500, SIEMENS HHB-750, SONY DR-BT10CX, Sony Ericcson HBH-DS200, Jabra BT320s, Plantronics 260.
I need good sound quality and it needs to...work.
Anyone?
Plantronics discovery 640e
Right now it is 59.99 after 20 mail in rebate at radioshack in US. Wife approved! I took back all the Moto ones I bought cuz the little misses hated the sound. I use the Kenwood BT1000 that is intergrated into my car stereo when driving. Love it!
Sorry! I just Re-read the post..... this is NOT stereo bt headset
The Motorola s705's work great with my 8525. You can use on earbuds also.
Mr
Looks interesting, a bit bulky but I read that it works reliably, and issues? How good is sound and speech quality?
I have exactly the same question... I was just about to order some Sony DS970 but will see what kind of responses arrive here. Grkn, exactly what connection problems did you have with the Sony?
I had it a long time ago, probably with the default rom and little BT tweaking, but I remember I didn't get it to work properly, maybe I couldn't answer calls, I DO remember there were periodic stuttering. It also didn't have a clip.
But the sound quality was great, and It's very cheap on ebay, I'm tempted to give it another try.

Be careful of the cheap ones on Ebay there were some very good looking fakes going around. Do a google search and you'll find the pictures... not easy to tell the difference at a cursory glance but sound is no way as good.
motorola makes the s9. best out right now. in ear, sleek, low profile, and great for working out and running with. sound quality is awsome, gets even better if you tweak your ad2p. = )

Sound is good but it's sensitive for range, just my arm in the way between it and Tytn causes sound drop outs.
Don't know if this is as sensitive on other models?
Plantronics 260
I really like my Plantronics 260's. Sound great, (especially with one of my roms ), and connect flawlessly. Someone else said his broke, but I don't stress mine physically and its been fine over a month now. I can't compare it to others though as they are the only ones I've had.
jUST GOT THE jABRA jx10 series2 and I'm quite happy with this one so far. Sound and range is good. Phone rings at the same time as I hear it's ringing in the headset. I hoped for a mini usb connector for charging but no such luck.
It comes with a short cable that goes from their special connector to large USB connector so I can use a power adapter I have where I can connect USB charge cable, so I can use this on my travels for charging both headset andmy tYTN.
oPS.. sorry missed the stereo part....
its all about how much you want to spend, the level of quality of music/sound you require, and the shape of your head and ears, and much of a goof you want to look like in public.
The Motorola Bluetooth™ Active Headphones S9 seem to be the most popular for now, and can be bought for less then 99 USD.
And they'll work with anything Advanced Audio Distribution Profile (A2DP) and Audio Video Remote Control Profile (AVRCP) compatible. (ipod bluetooth interface sold separately)
And they do have a built-in mic for incoming/out going calls.
These have inter-ear rubber buds ... that I hate its like having a rubber q-tip jammed down in your ear ... not fun... but some people swear by them. -- for this reason, I wouldn't buy them off ebay in case you wanted to return them without going insane.

Mr
For me they're out of the question due to their cyborg look
The S9's worked pretty good for me, except the speakers blew out 3 months in. Now i'm looking for a new set.
S9... the way to go.
Lost my previous and perfect headphones...boohoo
I recently lost my beautiful and never gone wrong bluetooth headset. I still feel gutted. I looked everywhere as I am not one to misplace anything or so I thought. I went through the garbage too!! thats how upsetting it was. I couldn't and still can't imagine for the life of me where the hell they are.
So..yesterday after carefully consideration and bank balance checking...cough cough splutter splutter (bit short of funds at the mo but just enough left to cover some headphones)...I popped along to our good old friendly eBay site...
Found some S9 Moto and won them. I was unsure whether to buy them or not as I have read so much negative reports on line as to how easy it is to be ripped off and stuck with a low quality copy pair.
I have checked best I could and am moderately confident that I have won a legitimate pair as the seller has 100 positive feedback. Postage costs are high but feedback relates mostly to excellent speed of items received along with next day delivery.
I do hope they work well with my hermes as I want to use them whilst on the bus, on the treadmill, walking about, at college, jogging etc.
Fingers Crossed guys.
Heres the link is anyone knows what to look for (checking legit items against dodgy etc)

I have a Sony Ericsson HBH-DS970, realy nice sound only the playtime sucks.
No BT skipping problems.
How long is the playtime?
I've received the Jabra 320s, works like a charm both listening to music and using it as a headset. Sound quality is adequate.
Maybe 3 hours playing time

I am also looking into this.
Surely the best way to go is to get a unit that allows you to plug in your own headphones. via a standard 3.5 jack connector.
2 reasons, the headphone part of these units will be the first thing to die, you can just replace them instead of the whole unit.... and you can use whatever type of phones you prefer (also connect to an amplifier....)
My issue is finding one that has a reliable connection and playtime.
I don't mind paying that bit extra if it works and does it for long enough!
Any users of the HTC S100 about?
http://www.expansys.com/htc/p_htc_item.aspx?i=140285
I have a feeling th only downside of this unit might be that if I stick in my Sony Fontopia earbuds then the hands free part won't have it.... no-one seems to know!
Alright so I had a pair of motorola s9s for about 3 weeks before sweating on them at the gym broke them.
Does anyone know of any decent bluetooth headphones that are reliable (battery doesn'd die after a month etc. etc.) that work well with the G1?
I have the first generation Motorola bluetooth stereo headphones, the HT820. I originally purchased them back in 2007 to use with my t-mobile MDA (HTC Wizard), and they worked well then and they continue to work now. They are much bigger than anything Motorola has out now, but they do work. I currently have Cyanogen's ROM on my G1 and they did work with the original cupcake ROM from T-Mobile. These headphones also have a built in mic so you can take phone calls.
Hope this helps.
I recently purchased the Samsung SBH500 headphones. I have only had them for a few weeks so I cannot tell you long term reliability but I have really enjoyed using them. I have taken them on a run a few times and have had no trouble yet. I have read a few reviews of people complaining that they are unconfortable and ears get hot when working out with them. I have not experienced either. I have found these more comfortable than other around-the-neck sets. The ear padding is a little thick but it sort of muffles the ambient noise. I have found the audio quality for music and calls both outstanding. I would recommend these if you were looking for over the ear headphones.
You should try contacting Motorola about your s9s. When researching BT headphones, I seem to remember reading that Motorola knows that this is an issue. Perhaps they will swap these out for you. Good Luck!
S9-HD
I thought the S9's are supposed to be sweat resistant. I have a S9-HD and they seem to be holding up fine. I've been using them on runs and bike rides for a couple months now. I do admit though that not much sweat gets to them cuz most of my sweat evaporates as I run. When I stop moving, I start pouring sweat, which is when the headphones get hit the hardest. They're still working great.
I haven't tried the jaybird bluetooth headphones. They're supposedly water and sweat resistant. They sound like they're the bomb. I'm tempted to get a set. Here's a link for more info:

Hey guys thanks for all the replies!
I actually just ordered a pair of samsung sbh170's (if i remember correctly) they didn't have to many complaints besides being to small.
If they don't work i will definetly be checking out the sbh500's they look really nice, and i might get a pair for non gym use too. ( I never knew internet radio at work could be so addictive.)
I checked out the jaybirds before i bought the samsungs that should be coming in a couple days. They had mixed reviews on amazon, just like the s9's, and cost around $100-$120 so i think i'm gonna keep my distance from those, I'm a college student lol.
As for the s9's I didn't have the HD's, I had the older versions, which were apparently less sweat resistant than the new ones. I took them appart and it looks like the main circuit board got covered in sweat (there is discoloration).
I had initially thought it was the battery, but that would be hard to replace. The battery in them is a no name most likely chinese peice of crap, if anyone else is having a problem with the battery you may be able to retrofit a rechargable AAA batery in ( i played around with a voltmeter and the old battery appeared to be 1.5V's) but that would take a little bit of time and patients, I only paid 30 bucks for them, and used them pretty consistently for a month (pretty much every day at the gym too.)
If I had paid $100 at best buy then I would be more upset. I really liked the form factor on them and they were really nice to use at the gym, which is what upset me most about them breaking, its hard going back to wired headphones lol
I've broken two sets, 1 LG and the other I think was a Jabra set. They had both broken around the earpiece in almost the same place because of the plastic they used. While I didnt have any other issues with them, they only lasted about 3 or 4 weeks each.
I went with the s9's for the firm form also... I just made sure to wipe my head and the headset every so often and completely take them off when im cooling down. I will be implementing some fancy vinyl aka electrical tape on them soon to help from getting sepage into the control panels.
The sbh170's look good cause they are more flexible but the 500's look to be almost the same design of the two sets that I had. If I can find the LG set i'll snap a pic and show you what I mean.
i got the sony dr-bt101 headphones about a month ago and they work great. the only thing is they're a little big and over the ear not behind the neck..

I use the HT850's mentioned earlier in this thread. they're a little big and (as someone else commented somewhere on xda) make me look princess leiah-ish but the sound good and work well w/ the G1.
For anyone wanting a cheap set I recommend the Insignia NS-BTHDP.
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?type=product&id=1185267960408
I got these almost a year ago and take them to the gym and snowboarding regularly so they have been dropped, smashed and covered in snow a lot. I picked mine up off of ebay with $10 winning bid (shipped). They aren't fancy but have survived well for being so cheap.
These are on their way to me. I'll let you all know what I think of them.

You guys would use those headphones while working out? Do they stay in place while jogging? Are they sweat resistant? Just from the looks of them, they are too bulky for me (at least while working out).

My s9's died yesterday... I mean DIED, they wont chrage no matter what
As much as I hate to go back to wired devices I really like the options the ones you picked up give. Small and simple with good support (body wide clip).
So please post when you can
I Have a question for you guys. I want a headset that I can listen to music with while wearing it on only one ear, so not headphones but a headset that has the A2DP and AVRCP. IF you guys know about one let me know because that way I can listen to music at work and look like im actually working hard.
http://www.jaybirdgear.com/bluetooth-stereo-headphones-features.php I have these but the audio goes in and out on my G1 and even worst on my laptop.
Get the Plantronics 855. The second earpiece is removable, and without it looks just like the HFP-only 815 but still plays at A2DP quality.

As much as I hate to go back to wired devices I really like the options the ones you picked up give. Small and simple with good support (body wide clip).
So please post when you can

OK so they showed up today. I have them charging at work and will give them a go when I run tonight. I'll post results either tonight or tomorrow morning.
update: Well I can't get them to pair. They paired up fine with my nokia N95, but android is having trouble. If I could get it to let me enter the passcode 0000 manually, I am sure it would work. Any ideas?
update2: OK so I got them paired, finally, but they dont seem to be working. I got them connected but theres no sound coming through them. They do work well with my n95 however so that's even more frustrating. Sound quality is OK, but I am going to try and return them. Any questions before I do?
i sweat a whole lot and have yet to find any wireless that can stand up to the abuse. i bought the adapter from HTC that includes a mic and 3.5 adapter. 10 bucks from t mobile.
while it still has wires it hasnt fallen victim to the sweat. FML in Alabama during the summer.
So, I've decided to turn my G1 into PMP recently. I purchased a 2300mAh battery, along with the MUGEN battery cover(it looks awesome lol), and both items are on the way. Now, I'm trying to find a Bluetooth headset that works with the G1. I'm currently running a Hero ROM and I do understand that BT does not work, but I'm planning to switch to Cyan's latest whenever I finally pick what headphones I'm going to purchase.
So I'm currently looking at 2 options, a good friend is selling his Insignia NS-BTHDP for $25, he's been using it on his iPhone 3GS and it still works well. The other option is this:

It's simply a BT dongle. I personally would much prefer this as I'm not too fond of over-the-ear headphones, and I've got a pair of excellent Sony headphones that I've been using for almost 2 years now. Now the problem is, I've heard a bunch of conflicting reports with this dongle. A search on XDA led me to a thread with a user saying that his does not work, and another user giving out links that it does indeed work.
So I guess my question is that, do any of my 2 options work well with the G1?
And if not, do you guys have any suggestions for BT headphones that work well with the G1? Preferably something that's less than $30 because I'm starting to run on a tight budget here.
Thanks.
did someone used it? or buyed it. I'm seriusly interested in... but it worth the cost???
check out motorolla s805's or ht820 or s9, should be able to find on ebay new for roughly 30 dollars. I currently use the s805's with my G1. they work great, i purchased a pair of ht820's in the past for my Wing, i found them uncomfortable for extended use though.
I would avoid that second "dongle" you linked to. Very cheap and probably rubish!
I am currently using a Jabra BT3030 with my G1 and love it! Like you I don't like the over ear/round head ones and find them very uncomfortable to wear so wanted something to just use with normal earphones.
Works very well with a super long battery life. The earphones included with it are very good too!

I got a Sony DR-BT101 for G1. Works like a charm.
I bought the cheap "dongle" from deal extreme and it wouldn't pair with my g1 or my n95. I figured it was a bum unit, but it would have cost more to ship back than it was worth.
Others have posted in various threads that they have had success with it however. I am considering buying a 2nd one and seeing how bad my luck is.
Seriously... you're waisting your money! Save your money and put it towards a decent/brand one!
Even if you do get it to work it's never going to be as good as a decent one. By the time you've bought two you could have bought one decent one!
