So, I'm considering getting a nice little sound dock for my nightstand in order to get better sound while in bed, relaxing, or whatever, and I've seen mention of some docks with bluetooth.
This may sound stupid, but how exactly does that work? Can the phone send your music via bluetooth to the sounddock, and you control it via the phone with whatever media player you're using? If so, is the Galaxy Note I717 capable of this? Or do bluetooth sound docks just read your music from your phone via bluetooth and you use controls on the dock to play the music?

Hi im looking for some bluetooth headphones for my blackstone. I want to be able to answer calls and control the media player using the bluetooth headphones.
Does anybody have a rough idea if any of the following are compatable. I know they are not well known brands but thought i may aswell ask anyway.
cheers

Is this headset compatible with voice dialing? I use microsoft voice control.
Thanks
Why not get some well known branded headsets like motorola s9, that comes close to the price range as well...
i dont like the headsets. i want something that can clip on my shirt, control the hd media player and plug any headphones into.
cheers
Calypso SP
Hi,
I first had the Motorola S9 which were nice, but too much bass, and after some time they completely fell apart
Now I bought the Calypso SP and they work just fine. They support Bluetooth 2.0, so you don't have those annoying pauses if the phone is not exactly behind your back, and the sound is great.
They look a bit like Princess Leia's haircut though

I've got sony ericsson HBH-DS970 and they're really excellent.
They will control next/previous track etc in the built in touchflo player but I cannot find out how to make them control Coreplayer instead. I hate the built in player and use Coreplayer for almost everything, but I've had to stop using these headphones because I can't control the tracks with them sadly. Really gutted about it.
I've got Sennheiser CX500s which sound great, but the track control & untangled wires of the bluetooth set was brilliant, and the sound was very good too.
Anyone know a decent bluetooth earbud set that works to control Coreplayer? Or a way I can fix this problem as it really sucks.
do the controls work with windows media player?
Hello! I have a few strange questions for you all, and I"m guessing that this isn't really possible, but, here goes..
I have a car that has built-in bluetooth, so I connect my Atrix to it via that for phone calls. Is there a way to force the sound output through something other than bluetooth, ie USB or the audio cable? The downside to having the phone connected via bluetooth is that I cannot hear the navigation voice in Google Maps if I'm not in bluetooth audio mode on the car (or if I have the usb cable connected to the stereo to listen to music). Thanks!
If you have a car dock...it will output the sound from the calls via bluetooth and the navigation through the dock sound connector. But you still have to have the sound go somewhere. I normally use my phone for all audio experiences...radio...music...etc...and the navigation will chime in when it's time for it to.
Thanks for the reply! Only downside is if I plug my phone into the USB port in the car, it'll play music but won't play the nav over the speakers for some reason. I have controls on my steering wheel that I want to use, but I might just have to make do with looking at the screen without the audio. :\
the latest version of Google maps got rid of navigation volume and uses media volume. I restored an earlier version.
I use my phone to stream music to my car's stereo, and when I get a notification of any sort, it plays from my phone and then echoes through my car's speakers. This is rather annoying and I can't find a workaround. If I put my phone on vibrate when I enter the car, then I get no noise from either, and I'd never know if I missed a message or something. Just wondering if anyone has a method to force notification sounds through one audio output or another, not both.

JVC KDX50BT is my stereo, if that makes any difference

I would also like to know this. I have a bluetooth speaker at work and a bluetooth car stereo. When listening to music, it is annoying to hear the music cut out and play a notification for an e-mail or SMS message.
Have You guys tried to set notifications volume to none? There are surely plenty of programs that change the phone profile after for e.g. connecting to bluetooth device.

I've read that some newer bluetooth headphones can be paired with two devices at once. I'm curious if the following scenarios are possible:
1) While listening to music on my Prime with the headphones, a call on my phone will ring through on the headphones. I can then use the headphone controls to answer or drop the call, after which the music on my Prime will continue.
2) While listening to music on my phone, I can start a Youtube video on my Prime, which pauses my phone's music and begins the Youtube audio on the headphones. Once finished the music on my phones resumes.
Is anyone using their bluetooth headset with both their phone and Prime?
Yes you can it os possible
Hit the thanks Button if i Helped
Butbonly on newer headsets

What your looking for is commonly called MULTIPOINT. Most higher or even mid end bluetooth headsets will let you connect to two or more devices at the same time. Consider if you are paying more than, say, $50 for a half decent headset it SHOULD have it. If it doesnt have at least multipoint 2 i wouldnt get it.
To stream music you are looking for A2DP or AVRCP.
A2DP is your basic music streaming. Much higher quality than your standard voice protocols, keps the music from sounding too tinny.
AVRCP is more fancy, my car stereo has this where i can use media buttons (forward, back, pause, etc.) to control the music. Depending on the device it may also display track information.
Now that we got the hardware side down, lets move on to your scenerios.
You can have media connected to ONE device and voice connected to ONE device for most quality bluetooth headsets. You can play music and if you get a call it will PAUSE the music to notify of the incoming call. Easy.
The second scenario is a bit more complicated. You can only stream music from ONE device at a time. If i have my bluetooth connected to my phone and my computer at the same time for audio i can play movies from my computer to the headset then play audio from my phone to the headset but if i have ANY audio coming from the computer the headset wont accept music from the phone. In most cases i find it easier to turn off bluetooth on my laptop when i want to hear music from my phone, or at least turn off all media players and wait ~30 seconds before switching devices.
In all, yes it can be done, much how others have said, but now hopefully you know what to look for. I remember how difficult it was for me jumping into this blind, maybe my information can help you buy the right hardware. Good luck!
Additionally, which headset are you going with?

Through research I believe the Samsung HS3000 is a good option. It has a new bluetooth music codec called Apt-X which is supposed to be higher quality than A2DP if both the headset and phone/tablet support it.
If I go that route I'll try to upgrade my phone to a Samsung SIII or HTC One X which both support Apt-X. The Transformer Prime unfortunately does not, but I'll only use it to watch quick internet videos while browsing in this case.
for primairy use of listening to music / movies, that should be decent. The mic placement makes me think that it would not be as good for calls as a headset you wear on your ear but it depends how often you use it.
Never heard of Apt-X, will have to research it probably part of bluetooth 3.0, different frequency, more bandwidth. should be interesting!
Does anyone know of a way or even an App that will route audio from separate source on the device to different outputs? For exampe, when i have my S4 in the car dock, I'd like to have phone audio get routed to my Bluetooth headset and any other audio like Pandora or GPS directions to go to the car speakers?
thanks
You should be able to go into bluetooth just press and hold the bluetooth to ogle and it will take you there you should be able to hit your paired devices each time you push each one it will change your audio output to each paired device. I do it every day with mine, I use headset for phone and wireless headphones for media I.e music Netflix Pandora etc etc
