Hey people anyone had a look at a set of these for thier Hermes?? (look at bottom of the page)
I was walking through town today using the standard wired headphones and found it a bit of a hassle with the wire in ma pocket cluttering up space. On expansys they say soon to be released anyone been thinking of buying a set??
Alternate BT 2.0 A2DP Plantronics Pulsar 260 cans
These are also interesting dangly headphones:
http://www.expansys.com/product.asp?code=139855 @ £47
The Pulsar 260 is a "pod" that connects to your musicphone over Bluetooth A2DP to provide stereo audio. A set of wired earbuds, with an inline mic, connect to the Pulsar 260 itself, where you'll find controls for track skipping and volume (which operate on the Audio/Video Remote Control Profile).
When a call comes in, the music stream is put on pause automatically - the user can take the call by pressing the button on the mic.
This control unit sporting Bluetooth 2.0 is for more discerning users with MP3-playing phones demanding high quality stereo earbuds and remote facilities for volume control and track selection.

@mrvanx: That headset looks just like the Itech S35 Clip available now in the UK I believe. Interestingly, the Itech is one of two stereo headsets known to work well with the TyTN.
That would be great, people wouldn't need a headphone Mini USB Adapter, althogh i know bluetooth stereo would be draining your battery more than usual, you can use this device and even use your own headphones (it looks like you can plug in any headphones), so if you have a dedicated pair of Shure e3c...... awesome.
Consider the R35, also from i-tech. Adds control buttons (although pause/play) don't seem to work with tytn - forward, backwards, and volume up and down do though).
I *really* like it.

Hows the range on the R35?
Hi!
Any recommendations regarding the Plantronics Pulsar 260?
Thanx!
i have Jabra 620s (Bluetooth, stereo), working good on 1.34 Rom.
I am about to take delivery of a pair of Sony Ericsson HBH-DS970 Bluetooth 2.0 stereo headphones with multipoint that should allow me to switch easily from Media Player to the phone, and hopefully also from my PC (eg Skype) to my Hermes. Question: I have been reading your posts on A2DP hacks, etc., with interest, but I was wondering if the latest HTC ROM had solved most of the problems or whether I still needed to do some tweaks to get good stereo performance.
performance is good (not great) you will still get a one second skip every 30-40 seconds.
SE HBH DS970 vs Nokia H-12W
Has anybody tried both SE and Nokia A2DP headphones? How would you compare the?
Thanks

The skip is a real drag. Any word when there will be a fix for this, if ever?
WOW didnt notice this thread had taken off!
Im really wanting something like the HTC bluetooth stereo clip, as i can use decent headphones with the TyTN untethered.
Is there anything out yet that can do the Audio/video remote functions with A2DP??? if so where cos im out of ideas and effort tonight

hopefully in the next update, a month or less could be any day now
.. or not
Have you guys eventually found a fix with the skipping issue?
I'm having this issue since I upgraded to 6.1. It was fine with previous Shap's 6.0 ROM.
Thanks.
Hello
I'm thinking about buying bluetooth headphones for my Touch Pro 2. So far the only one bluetooth audio device which i used was BH104 from Nokia but it wasn't for listening to music but for talking - so the quality of sound was very bad.
I would like to don't have a cable connected to rhodium in my pocket - so bluetooth headphones could be good for me. For example this one : http://www.jabra.com/Sites/Mobile/ee-uk/Products/Pages/JabraBT3030.aspx Anyone used this or other similar headphones with rhodium, blackstone or similar device? I would like to know something about sound quality. Is it better or the same like from Creative EP630 which i use now? What about battery usage with bluetooth headphones?
Any opinion would be good for me, so please post
Thanks
Nobody know?
I don't have any experience with the headphones you mentioned, but I have the Moto S9 HD's and they're pretty great.
I use the jabra bt3030. it's okay, but due to the design, has no noise cancellation and picks up wind and background noise during a call.
Note, the bt3030 are not really headphones, but a small dog-tag looking adapter for any 3.5mm headphones you like. the included chain is too long for comfortable use and the detachable clip is a bit flimsy. i use them primarily with retractable cable over the ear headphones from sony to listen to music and generally just have the bt3030 dangling from the headpones at whatever length is comfy. sound is good, using with video can be a bit much if you're watching divx or similar heavy codecs.
Firstly, thanks for info's. Yes, i know that i can connect every headphones to bt3030. I have headphones to connect, all i want is the wireless listening to the music. So if the bluetooth connection is good, then sound quality will be good too. I just wanted to know about dog-tag. How about bass level with it?

I use sony hbh ds 980 stereo bluetooth headphones and they work great. you wear a necklace which has two ear buds on a wire. on the controller you can see who is calling, scroll through contacts, call history and use voice command. as far as music there is a volume rocker, track forward and back, play/pause. Music comes through loud and clear as does calls. I never had any complaints as far as people hearing me either. the batterey lasts a full day of heavy usage. Let me know if you have any questions.
I use the Sony HBH-DS970 and it's AWESOME! I've had it for many years, used it first with my Touch Pro, now with the TP2. The battery is getting weak though, when I first got it it lasted for about 6 hours now it's about 3. When I get a new one I'm gonna get the new version (HBH-DS980). Both versions have great features: Caller ID, separate volume controls for calls & music, you can pause/play, skip (forward, & back) music & videos, The "call" button on the cord not only lets you take and end calls but it also lets you access "Voice Command" which is great. Oh, and it pauses your music when calls come in & starts it again when you're finished. These are "stereo" headsets and the sound is incredible, deep bass and all. They come with VERY soft in-ear "buds" that you won't mind wearing all day (different sizes) VERY comfortable. I can't say enough good things about this headset. The only bad thing I guess would be that it doesn't have replaceable batteries. Oh, one other thing, if you are overclocking your device make sure to disable whatever overclocking program you're using before connecting & using the headsets (that causes all kinds of issues and freezes when you're pausing & playing; among other things, not quite sure why). When you're done with the headset you can turn overclocking back on.
P.S. DO NOT buy this off of eBay! I did that to save money, they are fake, they last for about two months then fall apart. When I got the "real" one I could NOT tell them apart even though I knew which one was the "real" one, those fakes are that good. Get it from amazon or somewhere you already trust.
bluetooth headset
I have been using the
Rocketfish™ Mobile - RF-MAB2 High-Definition Stereo Bluetooth Headphones
Model: RF-MAB2 SKU: 9246862 (Best Buy USA)
for the past several months with my HTC TP2 and have really enjoyed them. Primarily for music but they are also a good phone headset as well.
life is so much better without wires. check them out & enjoy.
I use the Plantronics Backbeat 903, they work amazing for both music and call quality...I've experienced with MANY good bluetooth headsets, they ALL at times fail with in call quality...from motorola, jawbone, plantronics...Ive never purchased the cheap sets, and regardless, theyre bound at some point to have an occasional call where the other party mentions some sort of weirdness to the call quality...the Backbeats have had very few instances of this...they're "considered" multipoint as they can be sync'd to multiple devices, but only for music, they do not have "true" multipoint, as the jawbone does, to handle calls to two phones simultaneously...regarding the music playback quality,...amazing

+1 as I'm happy with mine too. However, this question had ever existed and discussed before
Ok, so I have already done my searches on here and tried finding users of the TF that are using Bluetooth audio receivers and had no luck. I was wondering if anyone on here has been able to stream music from their tablet to their stereo and if so what are you using and what is the best range you have gotten out of the product.
I will be streaming music from about 30 feet away with a direct line of site.
Any help would be great seeing as I have not had any luck here on the forum finding someone that shares my common interest in Bluetooth for the TF.
Any help would be great! Thanks in advance!
Scott
Nothing?!?!?!
Hello,
I hope I can help you, even if I'm quite new in this tablet stuff...
I just got my TF101 and one of the first things to do was to use my AudioPro RadioOne as speaker by Bluetooth.
I just simply activated BT in the Transformer, searched for visible BT to couple with it and once found, I entered the code given in the radio's manual. Immediately the sound switched to the radios speakers (and was cut from Transformer whilw I used the radio). The sound is as good as it can be and much better than with a cable.
I could go on listening being ~10m (30ft, I guess) away in an other room with the Transformer.
The Transformer works easily on BT, you might need to find out your receivers configuration and code, normally given in the owners manual.
Hope this helps you a little bit =)
P.S. Sorry for my English...
receiver
I got one of these for my phone but havent tried with the tablet yet.... My phone and table pair, and my phone pairs with this, i assume it would pair with the receiver no problemo!
http://www.cellpower.com/products/NoiseHush-N550-Stereo-Bluetooth-and-3.5mm-Audio-Jack.html
gives you a nice 3.5 jack to use so its pretty versitile.
30 ft is pushing it though....i think that is right around bluetooth's limit.
One drawback to the product above is that you cant use whil charging
(Note: I am in no way associated with the site selling the above product, just happened to find they had the best price!)
I just ordered the Belkin BT. I will let you know how that goes.

For very good noiseless audio and MUCH further transmission than bluetooth, I use Audio Engine W1. The only thing it does require USB power. Should work with dock but I haven't gotten it to work yet; need straight power only pins out. A battery powered USB port should work. (plugged in to USB power) worked great at a presentation I did this past weekend.
Bluetooth should be straight forward. I use some sony bluetooth headphones that work great.
I'm still looking for a quality solution for using your own headphones. Bluetooth is not good enough really. Ideally I would like a usb transmitter and a wireless reciever I can plug my headphones into and can run for around 6 hours. Q-Bean-ST is the only thing I have found but they look like junk and the battery life is a bit crap.
This thing has been working well for both the phone and the tablet but I have only really used it for about 10 feet or so. Quality is good enough for me (admittedly not an audiophile, just streaming during parties and such). http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0038MA11U
Reviews of the belkin "plug in" model have said people have used it when the transmitting device all over the house.

Youre barking up the wrong tree. Bluetooth is "good enough." Where it isnt people are running audio to $400 IEMs and no wireless solution would be satisfactory. So, using that logic nobody develops it.
Maybe I just had a bad experience using a SE HBH-DS970. It constantly drops out and cannot go more than a few feet from the transmitter.
A lot of it has to do with the transmitter. My phone, for instance, seems to only get about 10 feet with line of site. The laptop can be in other rooms no problem. The TF, I just tested it, can only go one room over, once you get a few walls in the way it cuts out occasionaly.
This is all using the thumb sized receiver posted above, the amazon reviews make it sound like the powered belkin model has better range but I never pulled the trigger because if I am using it I am either in the car or in the living room having it play over the sound system attached to my dish/bd player/tv so I am no more than a dozen feet away at any given time.
I use the Voiis bluetooth audio receiver, works great! Good audio quality.
Well, the Nokia AD42W works great with my Transformer to listen to anything through my stereo. I got it very cheap in a local shop, it's possible that the product is discontinued...
Of course, there's the problem of delay. You have to forgive the lack of lip-sync when playing through BT, but it's a bit annoying at times. Audio quality is great, of course not as good as a direct connection.
I have tried it with my Sony system, lg tv, Samsung tv and Sony tv, b-tube speaker,
All worked fine,
Do have a slight issue with the Sony,
I can stream music through bt to the tv once paired,
But to send a picture to the tv I have to un-paire first
I use a Kenwood KDC-BT945U with an A2DP profile and it works great.

This one works for me great. I use it on my stereo and in the car.
Was using it to stream my phone music but not i use it with the Transformer....no probs

So this bluetooth should work fine with eee Transformer, right?
Bluetooth headset should be used as audio device and also as chat device.
I have a stereo one, and it works fine as music listening but microphone doesn't work even if in the parameters it is recognized as phone and audio. we have to say that integrated microphone is so good that it is not necessary to to link to another one (joke)
2 days searching and no fix for that integrated microphone quality problem. the only solution is a (f...) wired headset.
In my bmw, I have a cable that I used to plug my iPhone in and was able to charge/play my music thru the interface. Since I switched over to SGS2 (love it btw), I haven't been able to find a suitable replacement for this cable. Is there anything like this for the SGS2, or am I out of luck?
Thanks

I use the car dock that is made for the phone by Samsung.
Best Solution:
Get a new car. My 2010 Mazda M3 has Bluetooth in it so all I had to do is buy a new car charger and connected it to Bluetooth. That's for your best experience though.
Less than the best solution:
Buy a Samsung Car dock, hope you have an AUX port or get an FM transmitter! It's a lot of work to have this done right, clean and everything. But it works! You can find most of the parts on amazon for really cheap. But i hope your car stereo has an Aux port or Bluetooth cuz if not you are kinda gonna be screwed into buying a new one. I don't know of any that support connecting through usb on any other phone than the iPhone or a standard flash drive with just MP3s on it.
Yea, my car has an AUX port, so I will just go buy the dock. Thanks for all your help
Hopefully another item like this takes off. http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/401662159/pair-with-pear-bluetooth-to-your-speakers-dock Not trying to advertise, but this looks like it's exactly what you need. Unfortunately it doesn't exist yet... Unless another company makes one that I don't know about.
I highly recommend the Bluetooth Gateway by Motorola that turns your aux-in into an A2DP stereo like these fancy new cars.
A brief guide in the beginning of a little review I wrote here.
Takes a little DIY to get it set up out of the way, but once you do, it's a fantastic, under-$50 solution to get A2DP like the new $20k cars
Bt-35 bfhak
Has anyone used either of these devices: BT-35 or BFHAK
They have them for different makes of cars. just wanting to know how well they work.
I have a Jeep with the bluetooth touchscreen. I just play mine through BT, even though the sound quality isnt the greatest.

I have the same, wonder why the quality suks
I just use a simple cable from my headphone jack to my aux in jack. I do wish it was able to display stuff like track info and album art, but hey, first world problems I guess. Poweramp does the job.
I think it's because bt audio only streams at 96 kbs.

I don't know why you're having problems, but my bluetooth audio sounds heavenly using the gateway that I referenced in my earlier post.
And by the way, this 2003 spec sheet lists a top bit rate of 345 kb/s on Bluetooth 1.0. I don't know where you got your number.
BT streaming is worse than wired because you've got your phone/player transceiver encoding, and then the external receiver decoding your music. You can have all the bandwidth in the world but you'd still be limited by the quality of your transmitting and receiving hardware's digital audio capabilities.
I have one of these, it works very well. I've used FM tuners before and they all come in static-y. This one comes in perfectly, can charge your phone, has audio IN, and can be used as a hands free phone. Pretty nifty.

OK so I'm stumped. Got my new LG G5 and it's pretty sweet so far but I'm running into a very weird issue that's kinda hard to explain. Basically it boils down to my G5 not being able to play audio through a normal 1/8 inch headphone auxiliarie input connected to my car CD deck. Before I got this phone I was easily able to connect my old phone to my car's aux input with the same cable and worked just fine but not with the G5. I tried the same cable with other speakers and the G5 plays perfectly though anything else. Other phones play just fine through my car's aux input. Only the G5 seems to send a signal that's very faint and has a lot of static on top of it. It's very strange. I do a lot in audio production and can't explain this unless the G5 outputs some weird audio signal that's not compatible with certain aux inputs lol but that seems ridiculous...
for what it's worth
I noticed that my volume all around is much higher with the G5. My G3 was much less loud. Is it possible that the signal is too strong and the car deck is therefore producing too much distortion - have you tried just lowering the volume on the G5? I'm hardly an Audio expert, but my current settings are all practically on the first notch above 0 for most notifications whereas on the G3 they were all in the middle.
I have also noticed the volume on the G5 is quite loud. I have tried playing through the car speakers at a lower volume and unfortunately I get the same static and weak signal.
Strange thing for me is that it connects to my audio Bluetooth adapter when I am nowhere near the car. I had to plug the adapter into a lighter adapter that shut off when the car does to keep this from happening.
If I can't get this thing to work just plugged into my car system I'll have to buy a Chromecast Audio and plug that into my car decks aux input. I just don't understand why it works everywhere but my car's aux input.
i'm getting more static than music with my g5...might send it back to get another one since i doubt this is a software issue?

Do you get static on all external speakers you try? I only get static when connecting via aux input on my car stereo. All other speakers it works great!

your right, its only in my truck that i get that static noise. That is wierd af, so is this a hardware or software issue then?
So weird! I am glad someone else can attest to this happening! Really have no idea if it would be hardware or software at this point. The only thing I can think of is that the phone outputs a higher quality signal than my car stereo can handle? I have never encountered an issue like this before... I don't know what specifically could be making only car stereos not work with the G5. So weird...
