Can anyone point me to the best Stereo Bluetooth with Caller ID display. I only really want stereo bluetooth to avoid wires and if you can't recommend one with wires, can you help me to determine just the best stereo bluetooth for TP2.
Also, I don't want them to be the headphone or the one ear bluetooth pieces, I need it to be ear buds.
Thanks.

I have a Motorola SoundPilot S705. I'm totaly satisfied with this headset.
The features are still not reached by any other currently available bluetooth stereo headset.
Unfortunately it is out of production, maybe you can still buy it in ebay or elsewhere.
It has for example multipoint feature (up to 8 connection profiles), FM radio with RDS, caller id display, 3.5 mm audio connector, Mini USB charger, ...
Regards, UMH
I have a DS-980 which is pretty old and the wires are getting frayed. Got a DS220 as a replacement but I don't recommend it. It doesn't have a dedicated volume control nor a dedicated next/ prev switch for multimedia like the DS-980 (apart from the lack of of a caller ID) and the auto volume control on it sucks.
Isn't there any other in the market with dedicated multimedia controls+caller id+3.5mm?
Clip D-Radio
It also does FM radio. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002CVTPBA
Also available from www.accessoryjack.com. I have ordered two from them. They currently are offering them for $79.00.

Does anyone here use these headphones? I really want to purchase them and the reviews I found by google are pretty good. I just want to get someone elses opinion before I buy them. Thanks.

I bought these off a UK website for about £20! They work great on my Universal running AKU 3.2. I had to implement a few registry tweaks to stop all the skipping, but after all the tweaking, it now works perfectly.
Sound for music is excellent. Volume is loud. The quality appears a little lower for voice conversations, but on my Universal, it transitions seamlessly most of the time from phone to music modes.
Be prepared for all the little problems that might happen, which probably aren't exclusive to these BT stereo headphones. As you probably already know, most BT stereo headphones don't work flawlessly all the time. Mine's been behaving very well 99% of the time though!
Hrmmm...you know anyone who uses these with a Blackberry pearl. My gf has that phone (i know horrible) and she really wants these headphones as well. I just don't know how well blackberry's do with BT headphones and stuff
You could try THEIR forums

I've used them before and honestly, the sound is okay but NOT GREAT.
Try this combination:
iTech stereo bluetooth + Sony MDREX71 earbuds... You won't regret it...

I have those earphones. They work allmost well.
Everytime I turn bluetooths on I must go to bt settings and activate headphones/headset or they wont work.
Sound quality is poor to my taste. But I hope there is something else to do with registry or stack.
I did that registry trick to bt value 58, but it sounds still like not enought hz. Like old radio or something.
But no wires and almost no skipping. I like it.
does any one have these and the s9 to compare it to them

Did you try pressing the MFB after bluetooth is turned on to initiate the connection?
I've seen a few threads about headphone adaptors, but haven't seen a definitive answer to my query, so I hope I'm not going over old ground.
I'm looking for a cable that plugs into my Wizard (O2 XDA Mini-S) at one end and at the other end has a mic, a clip (to attach it to clothes), and a socket for standard 3.5mm headphones - through which it will provide true stereo (not dual mono) sound. It needs to be a reasonable length, so that I can have my phone in my pocket and clip the mic to my collar.
If it can provide FM radio into the bargain (and take any necessary power from the Wizard) that'd be even better, but it's by no means essential.
Any recommendations (especially in the UK)?
Thanks,
Robb
Whoo Hoo!
I've been keeping an eye out for something like this too... and I think I've finally found some!

I'm going to do a bit more shopping before I buy anything but I'll post a review once I do.
check this out http://www.expansys.com/htc/p_htc_item.aspx?i=140285
I'd be afraid the Samsung one wouldn't work with the Wizard. It says several times it is for the listed models ONLY. It might be a standard plug, but I seem to recall seeing someone posting (probly on another forum) about problems using some 2.5mm connectors with the Wizard. The LG one might have the same problem, but both could also work fine.
I really like that HTC Bluetooth one! I wonder if I can get it in the US. How good is the sound quality over bluetooth?
It's true, not all 2.5 mm plugs are wired the same. I've had to open up the last one I bought and rewire it to make it work with the Wizard.
Watch Expansys - their web site (and their staff) are wrong.
Like many people on this forum, I have an O2 XDA Mini-S. When looking for a headphone adapter, I searched for a 'htc wizard headphone adapter' and was led to this unit by the search: http://www.expansys.com/p.aspx?i=127181
When you look at this adapter you can see that it includes this unit: http://www.expansys.com/p.aspx?i=118289
This is actually a different animal. This has a Mfr Part #: PPCPADPT15,eXpansys Code: 118289. This is an adapter for an O2 XDA III, not a Mini-S (it says so on the envelope)
When I repeat my search on PPCTech's web site I get this page (via tinyurl) http://tinyurl.com/2hkdym This shows that the adapter for an HTC wizard, or an O2 Mini-S is actually a PPCPADPT11, not a PPCPADPT15.
I tried to return the adapter and asked for the correct adapter for my phone only to be told by an arrogant and ignorant sales person that what I have is the correct adapter. He's been "selling these for four years and he knows what he is talking about" I tell him that sound only comes from one earpiece, and he says this is normal - you only get mono from this adapter. Utter rubbish!
Has anyone else worked out if the PPCPADPT11 is correct? If so, how did they convince eXpansys?
Cheers

Just the speaker works, the button and mike don't. I don't know if I broke something but it has got a 4 ring 2.5mm jack. it also aught to be pretty easy rewiring because of the standard 4p4c modular RJ10 connector. According to their website it should: "will work with most phones (Motorola, LG, Samsung)".
I've done some sporadic attempts to find a wiring schemes of the Wizard's jack connector but hadn't have much luck, would love to go B100 style sometimes!!!

I noticed on the that site is says the internal microphone will not work. Does that mean the jack only has 2 poles? A left/right audio out. No audio in for a microphone?
I am looking for an adapter i can use with an Iphone headset with line mic.

I have been thinking about getting the Jabra BT3030 headphones for a few weeks now. Does anyone else here have any opinions on it?
Also, does anyone know of a bluetooth headset (for example like this jabra one) that can not only switch to next/previous track but also switch to next/previous ALBUM? I don't think the Jabra BT3030 dog tag can do that. Does anyone know?
Here is a picture of it.
And here is the user manual (pdf).

Danke! I liked the "bike riding" comment.
I'm really tempted to buy it.
well, i had it and sold it.
weak bt reception, and buttons where weak also.
used it with my former TYTN II and was a little dissapointed.
the idea and design are supercool tho, sorry that it not works as it looks.

Thanks. Good to hear your opinion. What do you use now?
got it but don't use it much - i tend to have the unit beneath my shirt so it's not on display, but that means if people call they can't hear you. Maybe i should give it another proper try - definitely a potentially good thing for a bike ride tho - can keep the mobile in a saddle pocket.
I have one. The stock headphones are awful and there is an annoying buzz between tracks. On a value for money scale I would give them about 8/10 though as they are not very expensive in the bigger picture of things.
If you want something pretty tough for wearing whilst your active it is fine. If you want something to listen to high quality audio through then forget them.
And I do not know of a single Bluetooth headset that will let you skip albums. But then you can always use Microsoft Voice Command for that.
Had it for a few days, then returned it to shop. As someone else said, the headphones are terrible, but you can change em. BT worked fine, but audio-booster doesn't work with BT, so you're stuck with "standard" settings(unless someone knows of an "audio-booster"-type program that works with BT?).
I use a similar headset for my Touch HD.
Samsung SBH650.

I have one.
I've tested about 10 models from otger brands before i've got them. Didn't found something simalar -
GREAT sound (it have integrated DSP proc), nice look, ability to connect ANY 3.5mm-jack headphones, really works as a remote (tested with CorePlayer, Pocket Music, s2p, WMPlayer).

Yeah, I'm happy with mine too. I ended up getting them a few months ago and I have no complaints. In my opinion, the sound is good - especially for the price range. The only thing that is lame is the plastic clip - it hardly holds on to anything and it seems it could break really easily. But I can live with that flaw.
~I've heard about this Altec Lansing Wireless bluetooth headset (903 and the 906) which looks pretty slick and if anyone is into audio, he would know the quality of altec lansing.
I am just wondering about its compatibility with the blackstone.
If anyone has tested it, could you just let us know ...
or maybe i myself will update this by buyin one very soon as I have great faith in altec lansing.

Standards
There are standards wich a bluetooth headphone has to follow. If this device is calling itself Bluetooth Headset it should support A2DP (For the audio data itself) and AVRCP (for control of the device: Play, Pause, Next etc.). A WinMO Phone is nearly always supporting both of them. (Even my Prophet does in WM 5, 6.1 and 6.5) so the Blackcomb should do so as well. When looking for Bluetooth Hardware check Jabra too....all my Bluetooth audio stuff is by Jabra.
i used to have a JABRA BT8010 - it was 'good', but the quality of the speakers was rather 'thinny', barely any lower frequencies, despite using the inbuilt DSPs equalizing features. not to mention that the ear-holders were rather a pain in the ass and cut into my ears. But as a true geek one takes it like a real techno-phile and lives with it.
The positive thing on the JABRA BT8010 was that it could link up to TWO sources at once. something i miss on the backbeat 903 - why's that important? cos i stream my desktop-PC's music library via bluetooth adapter into my ears while am in/around the house, since my PDA-phones 16gigs microSD can hold roughly about 1-2% of my VAST library of songs ;-)
anyhoo, i bought the BACKBEAT 903 and have to say that the sound quality is by far better. (BT 2.0+EDR and the rest of the music-/player-control protocols). the 903 can get really loud. the in-ear rubber-pieces can be removed but you loose a major portion of sound quality.
advertised is the battery lifetime by 7 hours...I'd guess it's a bit less but havent "timed" it yet.
hope it helps a bit further
@
Altec Lansing Backbeat 906 works great with blackstone, i got one today. bought on ebay. cost me something around 80bugs $. so bluetooth found Altec Lansing Backbeat 906 well, there was no problem at all. music quality is fantastic, even in talk. it takes calls with one touch on left ear, if you press longer it holds call...., every function works with blackstone. sound notification is clear...
just a great earphones.

Fitted the ear buds from my 2 day old CX200,s onto the stock HTC mic/earphones cable.
It was very easy to do and a great improvement over the standard phones.
I could never get the standard phones to stay in my ear properly and were very uncomfortable (small ears I guess).
Anyway here is the pic,s , let them do the talking

Great job! I was just going about to do this but at the plug end. I was going to connect the extUSB plug to my current headphones, but this is a lot better.
I will never doubt the reasons for the hacks people do...some just do it for the hell of it and I am all for that.
But....I have to ask: Why?
3n1 adapter...and no re-wireing.
But excellently cool that you did it...although it is not really clear what you did. Did you take the tiny ear speakers and put them in the stock headphone cases or...?

I have the 3in1 adapter, but I think it is to bulky when travelling on the train and I can not use the stock speakers as they keep falling out of my ear and they are uncomfortable for me.
What I have done, is remove the stock speakers from the stock cable and then fitted Sennheiser cx200(these are the in-ear type) speaker to the stock cable.
So now I have the best of both worlds, stock cable with mic, dont have to use bulky 3in1 adapter when out n about and better fit/sound quality for my ears.
did you get improved audio quality as well? or was it bottlenecked by the HTC wireing?

Well I am not sure about the wiring, I was talking about CX200 ear-buds sounding much better on the stock HTC cable, than the stock HTC earphones on the stock HTC cable.
I could hardly hear any low end sounds with the stock HTC earphones.
To me both cables sound very similar, maybe the HTC cable possibly not being just as loud, could be the in-line volume control or volume not being set right when being encoded to mp3.
The CX200 sound ok for budget range and my ears would not be the best for judging sound quality(years of extremely loud music - raves 1989 - 1995) and a bit of tinnitus.
Aha. Cool idea.
I have the same problem...small ears and the earphones are for some giant head.
I use some over ear buds with the 3in1 adapter.
Getting the bluetooth "dogtag" adapter in the mail shortly.
