before i buy jabra 250 . is it work well with pda2k now after the new rom????
also do you have something better than jabra?
jabra 250
no good 4 a xda2
jabra also confirm this if asked
so which bluetooth headset is best ?
Sony Ericsson Akono HBH-300 ok ?
Mine works faultlessly with my XDAII.
Mine works, but there is no actual handsfree. i.e. you cannot do a last number redial, as with the wired headphones, so I presume it is not legal to use in UK when driving?
When you ring someone there is a second delay then the XDA transfers the call to the headset. When you recieve a call you have to press the answer but on the headset then it is transfered. You don't get it ringing in your ear. Well mine doesn't.:-(
Regards
I get ringing in my ear with mine and no dely when transferring.
I can confirm that only answering and ending calls work. There is no dialing on LNR.

I have a blue angel ( SX-66) and neither my BT200 or 250 work with it....
The Stack is too old as well so my BT keyboard will not work either !
Stay away from Jabra 250 on these phones. Jabra 200 *might* be ok.
HBH-300, HBH-660, Plantronics M3000, Logitech Freedom are few that work well.
HS820 will work but audio is poor compared to above head sets.
You can patch that SX66 with i-mate patches.
Hard Reset and apply these in this order.

Here is some commentary from Tech Support. Does this make any sense?
Dear Sir.
Thank you for writing in and for your query. Regarding your issue, I would like to tell you that you should install the Bluetooth patches after upgrading your device in order to fix the device Bluetooth issues. On the other hand, regarding Bluetooth headsets, Sony Ericsson HBH-65, Cellink, Jabra and Motorola headsets work perfectly with i-mate devices. Most of these headsets have been tested by i-mate technical team. There have not been any reported complaints regarding these headsets as they are quite compatible and error free with the i-mate™ devices.
Regarding Plantronics M3000 Bluetooth headset have not been tested yet from i-mate technical team.
On the other hand, make sure that your headset has the following specifications: Bluetooth Ser. Version 1.1 and supports the headset profile.
I brought a jabra 250 and didn't know it had problems with this device 100$ later I reallized that it doesn't work it pairs and I can hear people but if I am more than 2 feet from the phone the audio become muffled.
my coworker has a nokia headset. and the same thing happened.
I am not sure what my bluetooth version is but I I do have the latest roms.
Hi,
I have the Jabra BT200 with the non bluetooth adapter and I get more crackle in my ear that I get out of my bowl of Rice Krispies! And there is no point in using the adapter with it when the headset is bluetooth and is supposed to work with my MDA III. Oh! and for the record... I also have the SX56 and the bluetooth adapter and it didn't work with that device either. When I plugged it in the jack and turn on the set , no sound. Jabra is a decent product. But lets face it, Any company that is going to make anything or install anything Bluetooth need to stick with one set of Bluetooh frequency protocols instead of trying to make it customized to work with just certain devices. Because everybody is not going to stick with the same headset or the same phone and people upgrade all the time and others just stick with what works. In my research I did fine that any of the Plantronics headsets (M2500 best pick) works well. Which I will pick up this weekend. I hope this helps. Cheers everyone.

using a bt200
I'm using a blue angel (XDA2s) with a Jabra BT200 headset, I have installed the recently released patch from o2 to fix the bluetooth problems, and now I find it works ok, audio is reasonable withing a couple metres, gets a bit flaky further away but I'm never sure if that's the bluetooth or network signal in my house!
It IS slightly annoying that you can't do dialing, not even last number redial from your headset, but mostly if I'm driving I'm not making calls, merely expecting them, so I can answer on my headset OK and talk to the caller. I DO get a short ring tone in my ear (series of short beeps).
I got my headset free with my phone so I'm happy to live with it's limitations til I've finished paying for Xmas, then I might ebay it and buy an officially supported one which I can do LNR with.
I have heard (dont know if anyone can confirm) that the blue angel doesnt support voice dialling via your headset (for any bt headset) as the bluetooth headset doesnt take over the microsoft for all applications on the blueangel.
Jabra FS-258 (Jabra 250 + car charger)
No problems here (crackle) after upgrading to the 3500 stack. Making voice commands isn't the fault of the gadget -- blame the stack on the XDA. Originally bought mine for the SE T68i and it worked perfect. Moving to the SE K700i the call button didn't work anymore. So, this is a software driver implementation problem definitely. The best thing about the Jabra is its linked to all the previous devices and I just have to turn off the bluetooth on one so the connection hops to the other. Seamless integration with the XDA IIs.
My Jabra 250 works perfectly on my the XDA II and my XDA IIs. On the IIs i do get some crackle/static related to the bad stack especially so after the 3500 update but hopefully that will be fixed soon, anyway that is no fault of the headset.
Also on the IIs it is extremely loud and i had to turn it down. I always had it on full on the II.
On both II and IIs there is a ringing in the headset aswell as the devices ringing.
It is a shame that handsfree is not fully supported still in the new IIs.
o2 don't like making it easy to find out about compatability, do they?
There's the list on the my-xda website, but that's not very exhaustive.
Muggins here phoned up customer services trying to find out whether the Logitech stuff worked. After taking me through security, I got another number...
...which was engaged for 20 minutes.
So, eventually I got thru, and was told to phone customer services (on a different number) and ask for data support.
I got through there. "Nick", a helpful chap, then passed me onto tech support.
Tech support insist that the only things that work are the:
SonyEricsson HBH200 and 65, and the Nokia HS 4W, 3W, HD W3 and W2.
I suspect they are talking what is known technically as "balls".
This site seems much more helpful...
Hey!
A few weeks ago i tested an A2DP headset (motorola) with my Qtek 8500. After pairring and activating handsfree and A2DP on the unit, i tested it out. Music playback works great, but when making calls, no sound is present, neither from the phone or the headset, and the guy on the other end cant hear a thing..
I thought it was the headset that was buggy, as I tried it with my TyTn as well, and same thing.
Then i got a Nokia BH-501 today, and quess what? Same **** different wrapping. I now believe the problem lies in WM5.0, and someone else must have the same problem.
Qtek 8500
Newest Danguard ROM installed. (When i tried the moto headset, the previous ROM was installed)
i use the sony dr-bt10cx ear bud type. the only controls on it are volume and on/off/discover. when it is set to wireless stereo, i can only answer by using the flip. if i call out under the wireless stereo profile, the sound and mic go thru the headset. the sony-ericsson earbud one works fine for taking calls and listening to music, but has a 3 or 4 hour battery life compared to the 10-12 hours of the dr, and the sound quality isn't as good as the dr. that's been the case on the last qtek rom, and the first beta cingular rom
Hi,
Today gone my A2DP Stereo Headset and now I need to buy something instead. I prefer something like my old Jabra bt8010 which was hanged on my ears without any clips (as is in new jabra models).
Could someone suggest me something what will be working with HTC HD2
TIA
I have the Plantronics BackBeat 903 headset, which works very well with the HD2, and will use the same micro-USB charger.

I picked one of these up when it was called the "Altec Lansing Backbeat 903."
Regardless - I can recommend it but I've found that the bluetooth connection isn't as stable/strong as with my previous phone (HTC Touch Pro) when the phone is in my pocket.
yea the signal isnt strong doesnt give me the 10m it should without breaking up. I use the senheiser px210 not cheep but sound is amaizing aptx ready bought the apt x dongle but dont need it as they sound very good work very well with audio and video no sync issues while whatching video

OI have tested many and they are all different. My favorite is the LG HBM-570. It is not A2DP, but has the best sound, and accesses the contacts to announce the caller. Since MS Voice Command doesn't seem to work --- Anybody get VC to announce the caller in the bluetooth??? ---- BlueAnt Q-1 will announce, but you have to update the headset manually, and you have to listen to an annoying phrase every time you want to voice dial.
And at last I have bought another one Jabra BT8010.
i have galaxy s3 with offical 4.1.2 firmware
when i am in bluetooth call, no matter if it is with my platronix headset or in my bluetooth car handsfree,
during a call the vocie became low and the other side can't hear me.
in the car there is a big feedback !!
only when i push "headset" button to turn off and then on the problem sloves.
it can happen a few times in the same call!!
tried to hard reset, it happend on 4.0.4, 4.1.1 and all other official versition before.
any idea?
i am about to throw the phone on the floor when it's happen!!
regards,
ziv
I have exact problem with my Jawbone ERA and Pioneer head unit. Has anyone solved this?
Hello all NOTE 3 users!
I would like to ask You about Your Bluetooth headsets experience with NOTE 3.
I started to use BT headsets more than 5 years ago (several types, Nokia, Motorola, SE, recently SonyEricsson MW600 and Sony MW1) and used it without any problems with Note1 and Note2, however with N9005 (stock rom XXUBMJ1) and currently Sony MW1 headset I am completely disappointed:
1. Headset disconnects by itself few times per week, does not want to restart the link by pressing "Answer" button until BT goes through ON/OFF
2. With BT headset connected - a few times per day - incoming calls, and outgoing calls starts without BT headset voice link active (even if BT headset is "connected"- in some cases during the call to start the voice link call bottom-right button on the note3 must be touched 3 times to in fact "activate" the headset voice link... => this should be ALLWAYS working!
3. SONY suggests Smart Connect (LiveWare) + Smart Wireless Headset Pro - problem exists with the software installed, I am testing it now without this software but with similar bad results so far...
Please post Your opinions and BT headsets types paired with NOTE3...

I'm using a LG HBS-700 with my N3, and have had no issues what-so-ever.
SONY MW1 does not perform well!
Hello, I am continuing tests - NOTE3 + SONY MW1 (most current firmware 0.1.E.1.6) with all software installed is not stable, but without Smart Connect (LiveWare) + Smart Wireless Headset Pro software....it is a Total Disappointment! SONY "Premium" headset stays connected with NOTE3, however almost each phone call - incoming or outgoing
does not activate the voice-over-BT audio (phone bottom-right software button on the call screen remains gray, so the phone speaker is active, even if You answer the phone call by pressing ANSWER button on the MW1 headset) - it seems that BT connection between NOTE3 and MW1 becomes "lazy" few minutes after the phone call end, and then does not start again until phone soft key is pressed, or phone call is dropped and another call attempt is made.
If any SONY development guys are reading- please test it.
I have used MW1 with Note2 - it was not very bad, however much less stable than MW600 which was truly PERFECT.
With NOTE3 this is much less stable with software, and without Smart Connect (LiveWare) + Smart Wireless Headset Pro it does not work at all.
I will write to SONY support soon
i tested my MW1 with Note3 at a Samsung retail shop and indeed I am very unhappy with the audio quality. the audii cracking a lot
Motorola Boom
Using this now after testing the Motorola Sliver II. The Boom is about half the price and the sound is the best I have heard in quite some time.
I use it all day for work and have had about 20 different models but for the price, the sound clarity and loudness make this a great choice.
The Sliver had issues where everyone talking to me said I sounded as if I was in a tunnel.
Try the Boom. You'll see!
I haven't had any problems with my Motorola HX550, in fact it has been a great BT headset for $40 dollars. No one has a problem with how I sound.
I have been using my Plantronics voyager legend with great results. For stereo music, I've had decent luck with the Plantronics backbeat 2. decent audio. I'm glad I checked this before getting and mw1 as I as about to pull the trigger on this to use with my klipsch headphones. Has anyone heard about the sbh52 from Sony yet or the mw600 with the GN3?
Heres the ones i use.. http://www.jaybirdgear.com/bluebuds-x-bluetooth-headphones/
been using a motorola Elite flip, no problems whatsoever.
No problems here with Sony hbh-52 and offcourse I have installed Sony software.

The best choice is to take the headphones with APT-x codec:

MW1 still does not work - no support from SONY
Hello, I tried to obtain answer regarding firmware upgrade through SONY Xperia care support forum - outcome is ZERO reaction from SONY so users - beware of MW1 - for those interested - link below.

I came back to MW600 and those headphones work with NOTE3 well.
Sony smart watch 2 seems to have some problems too - a lot of post regarding problems on the same support forum.
Plantronics Voyager Pro HD
Plantronics Voyager Pro HD:
Supposedly 6 Hours of talk time, I would say I've experienced less.
It knows when it's on your ear, but I don't quite know what this function really does because it still works even when off my ear.. sooo
Ear buds don't really suit me, it seems to mount alright on my ear but could seal on my ear better.
This really worked great for me at first on my Note 2.
I don't know if it's the headset because I didn't have issues with my LG G2 or Note 3 however, it seemed to pick up the mic very poorly. People weren't able to hear me well and I need to practically shout for them to hear me.
When I use my car's Bluetooth it doesn't seem to have any issues. It sorta cut in & out on my G2 though now that I remember.
Anyways anyone else happen to have the same headset?

Yep, best out there. Little expensive, but the sound is amazing, not to mention there lightweight, small size and long playtime. Grab some, you won't regret it!

My jaybird freedoms work good.
I use several bluetooth headset currently.
Jaybird Bluebuds X as my main bluetooth headset for music and vidoes and it's working flawlessly. Fantastic audio quality and loudness more than I can handle.
Jabra BT620s when I am home since it's more comfortable than bluebuds.
Jabra BT8040 most of the time and it is connected with my galaxy gear. This combo works really well. Clear call quality, good connection and perfect set up for me with my daily routine when I don't need to listen to music or watch videos.
