Hi there,
Can someone recommend my a good BT stereo headset to use with my TP2?
Ideally I'd like one where I can use my own headphones and have control over the media player.
Nice to haves would be Caller ID and /or track information display.
Thanks,
Richard
I got one of these.

Does the job well and looks good. cheap enough that i can wear whilst mountain biking and have my phone tucked safely in my bag.

It works great! But again... Audio-Booster is not working with this bluetooth headset...
And "volume control" is not working op the TP2... you can however control on the headset... [email protected] gives a notification of this also when connecting to the backbeat.
Oh! and by the way! you can multi-pair this headset to more than one device. What I have done: pair the stereo part to my TP2 and the phone part to my Ipaq914c for calling (business). When a cal comes in the music pauses and you can call and when he call is ended the music starts playing... NICE!

if you want to use your own headphones I would recommend the JABRA BT3030 if you want some quality...the sound is also good for a bluetooth headset...
if you're thinking of buying the sony ericsson HBH-DS980 because of the caller ID function, DONT, because this function will only work on the Sony phones...
ive got these.

play music, whene the phone rings just pick up, music will mute.
worked with my universal, does it fine on my pro2
OK. I bought the Jabra one in the end.
Works pretty well except that it only controls the builtin media player and not S2P.

I using set of BlueAnt X5.. No Problems.. Unfortunately it looks like they don't make them any more..

My friend Vardig, plz review the product before spending you hard money for it. It was real great experience to get something new but neva be hasty to buy something which you couldn't give a real-time experience like a demo hanging in the mall. Go through the following link before investing into this product..peace -->
http://www.amazon.com/JayBird-JB-20...ef=dp_return_2?ie=UTF8&n=172282&s=electronics
Hi GillBostonian,
Thanks for the link.
The product is actually really good. I dont get the "it's hurting my ears" , "it's matt black" etc.
The JB-200 is an awsome product and is geared towards extreme sports people and at the gym.
Love it, however my taste in music requires BASS, and this is something it does not have, therefore I gave them away .
There was bass but not enough for my likeing.
I will be getting the Jabra Halo and see how they work and will report back
hi all,
i've just paired a sony DR-BT20NX wireless headset to my tp2 and i must say i'm quite please with the results.
When paired, the device does say that it will not support volume control, which it doesn't but it has it's own volume control which you can easily use to adjust the volume to your needs.
Also, when music is playing and you receive a call, it mutes the music and rings! you can then pick up, talk and hang up; the music resume as soon as the call is disconnected.
You also get the remote control features to fully work with it e.g play stop ff rev etc.
The quality of sound, especially bass, is pretty impressive i must say.
Anybody else who'se used it?
So far, I must say I'm quite happy with it - though only down side, it's slightly pricey? it's around for £55-70
Comments/suggestions welcome.
btw: here's a link

I bought the Motorola S9's two years ago and hated them... they had compatibility problems with my phone and desktop (skipping constantly)... but when I paired them with my TP2, they worked flawlessly... definitely recommended for this phone.

Yes, +1. I have the original S9 and the the new S9-HD and they are great, I use them all the time.
Look on Ebay and you can find the original S9's for $35 new delivered!! The only big difference between the the new and old version is while in a call, the old S9 only plays the call in to the left ear. The HD plays it back in both. Pretty much the same other than that.

Can anyone recommend a good BT headset for the Tilt 2? I currently have a BlueAnt Z9i, but it does not work with the phone. I've used 3 different ROMs and a number of radios, and the phone has never been able to pair with the headset.
So, can someone please recommend a good replacement headset for me?
I am currently using this ROM (build 21892):
|R|6.5.5|ROM|WWE| ★ Energy "Leo" 23542/21892 |Mar 5| ★ Sense 2.5.2012 / MaxManila ★
I just need great reception, answer/hang up button on headset, and volume controls (optional).
Thanks!
I currently use an insignia model number ns-bthdp and it has been a great headset I specially like the fact that it doubles as stereo headphones

Thanks for the suggestion. It doesn't look too bad. However, I am really looking for a regular (mono, one ear) headset - unless I can find a stereo model that would allow me to detach the stereo component when not in use.

The plantronics Voyager 855 will do that...it's a BT stereo headset but you can disconnect the 2nd earbud and just use it like a regular headset too. I haven't used one, but I do have another plantronics BT headset (stereo only) that pairs just fine with my TP2

Does anyone have any experience with the Motorola H17?
Motorola H17
After reading all of the reviews and watching tons of videos, I have decided on the Motorola H17.
I will post a review in a few weeks a put a link up here for those who are interested.
Thanks for all of your help!

I figured it was new enough to work with a new phone, but I can't even get the phone to see the headset at all.
I even paired it with my old (almost 5 years!) Motorola H3 this morning, as a temporary fix and it found the headset right away!
I've had a Jawbone ICON for a while now, it works great with the tilt 2.
Do any of your BTs have a working mute button on the device? I am surprised that almost none of the BTs on the market have a mute button. I thought the whole purpose of BT was so that you could pocket the phone and still make and take calls. But if I can't mute from the headset then it defeats the purpose for me. I am aware that many people probably never mute their phone calls. But those of us who use our devices for business purposes, mute is a requirement for conference calls.
Ive got a Nokia BH-103. Its a good headset, but i havnt used it with my TP2 yet.
Mute
The Moto H715 works with the tilt 2... You can mute the calls by pressing both Volume buttons.. I am pretty sure most headsets can mute a call, just need to see what butons need to be pressed
blackberry hs-655+, best BT headset i have used. So light you dont even know you have it on, has its own cradle that also vibrates when a phone call is coming in so if you have it in your pocket and your phone at your desk of something, you will feel the headset vibrating
A vibrating headset on my ear would likely freak me out every time it happened. LOL!
Invisio
Invisio G5. Great headseat, I have blown through many now, and this one is super comfortable, great sound quality, and the charging pack is an awesome feature.

I have a BlueAnt Z9i and it works just fine with my Tilt 2 with the stock ROM. It paired first try and activates voice command, answers and hangs up. The volume controls work fine too.
My other headset is a Plantronics 510. It is old school, but it also works just fine. Folks say this one sounds better.
The BlueAnt is more comfortable, has better noise reduction and is capable of higher earpiece volume.
The Plantronics, with the foam thingie, is better in the wind and sounds better to folks on the other end.
YMMV, FWIW, My 2 cents.

Thanks for your reply. You are the second person to tell me that they successfully paired a Z9i with the Tilt 2. I don't know what the problem is, but I am able to pair the headset with other phones, and I can pair the phone with other headsets.
I went with the Motorola H17, but the connection kept dropping so I returned it for another unit.
I'll say this, it is not a solution by any stretch of the imagination, but sometimes $0.02 counts. I have had strange behavior with my Moto S9 using the rom you outlined. The sound is often choppy and I cannot figure out why. As far as my H715 goes I have had no issues. Are you having this issue specifically with NRG roms or are the three roms you tried from different chefs and potentially using different BT drivers etc.?

Thanks for the input, it is definitely appreciated. I used the stock ROM, then the Leo Cell EVO ROM, and now the NRG ROM with the same results on each one.
It's really weird because my 5 year old headset pairs and works fine with the phone. It's just too large to wear for long periods of time (and the sound isn't great either).

Honestly, I think the oddball Widcomm bluetooth stack in the TP2 is one of it's biggest achilles heels...it doesn't seem to be able to give consistent performance across a single unit, let alone across the entire production line.
I think it's to blame for a number of issus that defy normal troubleshooting (like the one you're seeing now), as well as extremely high level of batt drain whenever you connect to/with anything via BT
Today was in the phone shop. A whole bunch of Jabra headsets are available. This made me wonder where the good headsets went.
Good headsets working with the Lumia are for example Sonyericsson HBH-DS200 series, which are stereo and bluetooth, have internal volume control on top of that on the phone, and have media player controlling options.
This made me wonder what today the better headsets are.
If anyone can help out listing headsets which work and can control the several options like mentioned above that would be welcome.
I had looked into Iphone compatible headsets, but the controlling buttons did not seem to work, at least not in the Dre-series 99 euro version I tested.
Can anyone list their experience with different headsets on the Lumia 800 which have controlling options like volume, media and call answer,
Bluetooth or Wired makes no difference in this topic
Nokia Purity Stereo Headset by Monster come in Lumia 800 matching colors and seem to have at least volume control. But they are quite expensive, in various stores around 90GBP.
today made a phonecall with lumia and htc hd2 headset. from this headset sound is horrible, but the controls all work. So this made me wonder, why don't the controls of the iphone headsets seem to work?
This seems to be a complete hardware flaw on the back of windows or apple. I have struggled with this one ever since i got my first wp7 last year. I recently received the 800 and immediately bought a headset - it did not work. I bought another on mobilefun, according to them compatible. It was not! This one was a platronics headset. My suggestion would be go to a massive Carphone Warehouse or other shop that sells headset, and try and see which ones work. I did this and bought a fantastic headset for £14.99; it was a Samsung headset. It does not have volume control but I can do everything bar next/previous song. I am sure now if I wanted to I could have spent more and had what you are looking for. My main thing I need the microphone to work. It works superbly. I received a text the other day as I was cycling along, it asked me if I wanted to listen/Delete/Ignore; I said listen, it then asked me if I wanted to Reply/Call/Ignore - I called, spoke to the client and then carried on cycling. I did not at one point take my hands of the handlebars. The music switched back on afterwards. For £14.99 - Perfect!
I hope this helps. If it does just press Thanks -

I'm using Sony hbh-is800 Bluetooth wireless buds and they are great. There no volume control on the buds so you have to use the phone to adjust but that's a minor thing to deal with for the form factor these sweet things have. I also can be about 15 feet away from the phone and still have signal unlike some of those otherones where if you have your phone in the wrong pocket you drop out. I only really use these for tunes though so I have no idea about call quality and whatnot.
Does anyone have more links to compatible headsets?
I was looking at the Nokia Purity Stereo earbuds and got excited, but then saw they don't support track skipping control? I listen to a lot of music biking/walking and need both volume control, pause/start and track skipping control(at least track forward control).
There must be something out there, that doesn't force me to choose between track control or volume control..
thanks
I use the Nokia BH-111 headset - came with my Lumia 800 free as part of the phones deal.
It is a Bluetooth stereo headset which comes in a variety of colours. Has volume control and media keys, and also allows you to control calls with it.
The earphones supplied fit in my ear very well - never fall out even when running.
Quality through the supplied earphones is more than acceptable when listening to music - was good enough to stop me from buying a £20-30 pair anyway.
Noticed it currently sells for around £23 in black, which if I didn't get it for free I'd be happy to pay that.
So I was in carphonewarehouse in Ealing and found the Nokia purity on ear headset. Inline control works well. One click to play/pause, two for next track and three for prev track. Volume also works well.
But for £200 headsets they sound like crap. Just as poor as the audio by beats range (for their price). My £40 Soundmagic PL45 have better quality and volume by far. I have some Klipsch S4 on order from play.com (£22). Heard good things about the S4. Was hoping to find a good quality IEM with inline remote.
Sent from my Lumia 800 using Board Express

Well given that they're both made by Monster...
ordered a mw600 today. meaning i can just buy any headphones i like
Anyone found a fully compatible in-ear headset? I really need a working in ear headset but don't know which one to choose. I don't want to try them and send them back if they don't work...
the provided in ear phone in the box works, and has one button.
a htc as provided with hd2 headset works, and has up, down, answer buttons
These work brilliantly with my Lumia 800 and HD2 running G/Bread, play/pause/skip and volume. Only downside is they're not in-ear. Bass range is quite good for such a low price.
I would suggest Sony Ericsson MW600 (Bluetooth)
I am using Sony Ericsson MW600 with my HD7, but I use it with my Sony in-ear headphones (Hybrid silicone rubber earbuds, angled earbud structure)
- because supplied headphones were worst.
It supports Call/Play/Pause/Next/Prevous/Voice Commands with my HD7.
It also has independent Volume control. Supports simultaneous multiple device pairing (1 for music source, 1 for voice calls)
Inbuilt FM radio is also there but I dont use it because of poor reception.
As Lumia 800 is windows phone, it should work with it as well.
Call/Music both quality very good. Battery life also good.
Think you should give it a try..

Do you have the box and things still, With a model code on ?, I would love to try these.
Confused
Have been using the cx300II senheisers..had been using them with the lg optimus 7 and loved the music..but using them with the lumia made the music feel like i was under water..
i started using the jvc marshmallows i had..the quality wasnt unbearable but it just feels incomplete..like its missing something..have been wondering which pair of earphones to get and loved the monster purity until i saw the pricetag..compatible earphones with good sound quality at half the price..anyone? please?
They were samsung ones - sorry, I don't have any other info..... Go to carphone warehouse...?

I've just switched to this phone after loosing my iPhone and i am very disappointed that nokia hasn't sorted out headset compatibility, and only their horrible pure headsets are compatible.
I have a pair of AIAIAI TMA-1 dj headphones which work brilliantly as a mic source on blackberry, iPhone and Android, but do not on this nokia. I think we should push for nokia to sort out their headphone compatibility - It's most likely a software issue, since the middle button works for popping up the voice recognition software, but the mic doesn't work, nor the volume up/down buttons.
-1 for nokia for not supporting a quasi-standard headphones and headsets.
anybody knows if nokia BH-111 is compatible with 800?
music controls works to forward rewind play pause songs?
I got 3 headphones with mic for my old iPhone, 1 of them (mic and 1 button only) works on the lumia 920.
The other 2 with 3 buttons - sound works.
volume buttons don't work and I don't care for that.
problem is, the mic doesn't work.
I did a lot of testing, I found that if I disconnect and reconnect it 2-3 times during a call (and only during a call) the mic will work for about 20 seconds and stop working.
During these 20 seconds I can end the call and start a new one, use voice control, or continue my current call. shaking the cable doesn't make it stop working. It will work for 20 seconds and stop for no reason.
Seems to me like a software issue, but I am not sure.
Anyone here knows if one of the converters/adaptors would make it work?
I mean FiiO (LU1 or LU2), or ADPTR-TRRS-35 (google it, sorry cannot post links).
Since the 920 suppose to support both configurations of TRRS (AHJ and OMTP) I assumed it would support these headsets.
My non-working headsets:
1. yurbuds inspire pro
2. Audio-Technica ATH-CP500i
If you know of any other adaptor that might work please let me know.
Headphones made for the iPhone will not be fully compatible. You need to make sure you use headphones made for either Windows Phone devices or Android Phones. It's not a software bug. Apple moves the mic band on the headphone jack so that they will only work with an iPhones.
Apple does this so that consumers are required to buy headphones that are licensed by Apple and that they can only use those said headphones with iDevices.
EDIT: Using a converter should work. Although I recommend just buying non apple branded headphones w/ mic or a bluetooth headset.
thanks for your yhkughts but i dlnt think so

@djbrx thanks but I don't think this is true. The Nokia Lumia 920 supports both AHJ and OMTP ( MIC on last ring or on one before).
but still - the MIC does not work on a 3 button head set. On a one button headset it works.
reason I was thinking it is a software issue was that if I quickly pull it out and back in while in a call the MIC will start working perfectly until I finish my call. But I have to do that for each and every call.
its not a problem in my device I tried it on 3 Lumia 920 all behaved the same.
I'm thinking the MIC transmits on different frequency or something lika that? I have no idea exactly what is going on but it seems like software issue since I can get it to work sometimes.
any other thoughts?
There is no standard for headphones with mic. The way the extra ring on the plug works varies along with the button which often sends pulses to the device, it is how the pulses are interpreted that varies.
You need one designed for the phone you are using. iPhone headphones are awful, although the latest version seems to look better but I've not heard them.

Yes, there is:
Search for OMTP in Wikipedia (can't post links)
There are actually 2 standards for headset with mic. AHJ and OMTP. thing is, apple is apple - never follow standards...
There is no standard for headset with mic and volume buttons - and that's where things stop working. as far as I tested, iPhone one button headsets works great on the lumia 920 (I tested 2, both works). the ones with 3 buttons don't - I tested 3.
As for their quality - don't know when was the last time you tried, but they have far superior headsets on the market than windows phone or any other phone. yurbuds are awesome, audio-technical, senns - are both amazing.
Granted - I can't stand "beats", their awful but ppl seem to like them not sure why.
The stock headphones I got with my iPhone 4 were much better than the stock that came with my Nokia... this is why I am so frustrated.
Well, guess there is nothing I can do.
I now have 2 very high quality headsets that I have no use for, I guess it's time to sell them.
Thanks for everyone's help!

so true, but this is how it is everywhere
Even HTML have many different interpretations, even HTML5 which suppose to be one common standard doesn't work the same on all browsers.
The world would be a better place with just open source / standard and without these manipulative corporations.
BOSE QC?
Hi
Anyone know if the BOSE C®15/QC®2 mobile communications kit works with the Lumia 920? I mean both mic and headphones of course.
Morgan
Possible fix.
I have a set of Bang & Olufsen EarSet 3i which has 3 buttons
and is made for the iPhone so the mic dosent work for my Galaxy s3.
However if i hold down the Volume button while pluggin it in it registeres the right way and the mic works.
I dont know if it works but have a go and report back
i'am also considering going for the Lumia 920 so this would be great info
Well, these one works for all (i tried on iphone, androids, wp7.5, wp8)
1. Audio Technica AT335i : http://www.audio-technica.com.hk/index.php?op=productdetails&pid=398&lang=eng
2. Nokia Purity WH920: http://www.puritybymonster.com/en/#page_in-ear
Personally, I prefer no.1 due to I can use my own earphones and it has VOLUME CONTROL SLIDER. Nice.
As for no.2, it's monster, and it's too boomy for me. Wifey loves it though so I gave to her. Got it for free as bonus when I bought the 710
Out of all of my headphones (Shure SE102, Shure SE210, Klipsch S4i, BeyerDynamics DT250, Beats Solo HD, and Nokia Purity WH930), the only ones that work 100% properly are my Nokia Purity. However, I have successfully used the cable from the Nokias with my Beats and vice versa, so I'm tempted to get a coupler so I can at least use my Shures as they are earplugs.
Greetings! I have a generic headset with microphone and a button wtich I use on my SGS. Since the sound was pretty nice for a generic brandless headset, I bought one for my friend which has a SGA s5830i and I was surprised that it didn't work as it should. I installed stereo test (app that plays left or right channel on a device) and I was confused when "Front Left" and "Front Right" sounds were coming out of both earphones. I thought that the headset is broken, but I swapped the headset and the problem remained - both headsets work fine on my SGS, while both don't on the SGA s5830i. We tried a call with our headsets and what happened was rather odd. My friend heared me only from the left earphone, while I was hearing myself speaking on my phone, with or without headset. It seems to me that the layout for left, right and mic are not the same for SGS and SGAi. The SGAi is using Simplicity v5 but I'm not sure if it's a rom problem or hardware is just different. Tried searching the forums and google but I didn't find any info on this problem at all. Does anybody know if the problem lies within hardware and I should look for another headset or try changing the rom? Thanks in advance!
