Hi! A friend of mine has purchased a XZU here in Mexico with TELCEL. Mine was imported from the U.S; but I noticed that his ZU came with a thingy that looks like an iPod but it is a Bluetooth Audio Receiver with a 3.5mm output. You can easily fool a robber by saying it is an iPod and saving your ZU from being robed. Does anybody received this? I haven't seen it in Sony Store.
Post a picture of it.

I got one too, it was part of the deal with Clove.
It's a SBH20, a Bluetooth headset.

Wow, some lucky people have those Bluetooth things in a package.
I did't even have a dock station.

Hi Guys,
Just purchased a PPC Techs XDA/XDA II 3.5mm Stereo Headphone Adpter from Expansys after reading some threads here, im noticing I only get stereo if I leave the 2.5mm jack from the XDA not plugged in all the way, is this a common problem or do I have a faulty adapter?
Cheers Baz
I did the same and bought on the advice of that post but only had one channel coming through.
I gave up and had someone who is very handy with a soldering iron and shrinkdown sleeving to remedy things.
He took my XDA headset and cut the earphones off it.
Then he grafted my sony fontopia earbuds in their place and
made an excellent job.
now I am happy but would warn anyone else off the expansys and belkin adaptors as I have them both and neither are any good
:?

can anybody recommend an adapter that does work then?
I looking for something similar, since I would be happy to find a stereo earphones working.
MDA III seems to come from another planet since almost none of the current earphone are working. :roll:
Or maybe it's an hardware issue.
any solutions yet?

Pull it out just a little... :shock:
I tested out a set of Jabra c220s headphones and found that if you pull the jack out just a bit you get stereo. This happens on all BAs. I read on another forum somewhere that the ink cartridge from a ballpoint pen can be used: cut off .5mm from the cartridge and slip it onto the jack. Expansys has some Seidios headsets that work out of the box though.
I tried 3 different ones until my current one which works perfectly with my xdaiis. Make sure you buy an adaptor with 3 black bands around the pin. I got mine from ebay for 99p plus postage from Hong Kong

I've just post a command for a headset and a 2.5->3.5 converter. Let's wait and see... I'll keep you posted.

yup... I'm using Motorola ROKR 1 headset on to PH20B... and...yes...it has a LOT of bass... so...it's VERY RECOMMENDED if you want "better" headset than the original... 8)
I modified my original headset so that it will compatible with any 3,5mm headsets sold in the market.. it simply by some soldering in the board... it is stated in the wiki, you'll find it there... i'm satisfied now i'm using my modified headset with the original headset of SonyEricsson W800i.. its awesome.^_^
Anybody know a good set that works with transfomer

Google BackBeat Headphones. I love them you will too.

I have used Sony Ericsson Bluetooth Headphones for ages.
My latest model is:
SE MW600
http://www.pocket-lint.com/review/4596/sony-ericsson-mw600-bluetooth-review
Its got great battery life.
Connects to the Tablet and my Phone at the same time, so when a call comes in on my phone i can answer it direct from the unit.
Charges using a MicroUSB socket, same as many phones.
Has a 3.5mm (headphone) socket so you could use your own headphones, or indeed connect it up to any device that take an Aux In (I.E. Stereo, Car Audio System ETC)
I am wondering about the same problem.

I've read they have horrible reception outdoors. The fine print in the manual says it needs to be above waist outdoors to get reception. This is a deal breaker for me because I like to listen to music while mowing my lawn. I am not going to buy an armband for my phone either.

I'm using the MW600 as well. Really nice headphones.
Just got a MW600. It's nice. Only thing I don't like is the supplied headphones don't have a lanyard and there is no lock on it to prevent accidental button pressing (something they had on earlier models).
I just got nokia 950i and these are great

I too bought the Sony Ericsson Bluetooth, to go with my sport earphones at the gym and it works wonderfully.
I'm assuming you want stereo bt headphones. I have the sony dr-bt160as. The motorola s9 hd or s10 works pretty well too. They got good reception even if the tf is in your backpack. The headset is designed for sports so they don't shake when you move.

Can't believe they got less then 1 meter of range? That's awful. I will do a test one mine and post it here as soon as they arrive.

Mine are great! I really like them. I get fine reception with the phone in my pocket. Have had zero problems or bad reception through the BT. I would definitely recommend.
The MW600 range is great. I walked halfway up my hallway with partitions between and it only began to cutout at around 10-15 meters. If in the same room I have no issues whatsoever.
I have the Motorola S305 Bluetooth stereo headphones/headset which I use for my phone and they seem to work well with the Transformer.
I can't post a link yet, but you can pick them up at Amazon for $36.25 right now...
I have both a Motorola S9 and a Lubix NC1. Both also work well with my myTouch 4G and my Transformer, although the Lubix's phone audio seems to have a slight echo to whomever is on the other end of my line. The S9 is perfect.
Hey has anyone tried out the new Sony SBH80? Looks pretty cool and good to see it supports APTX too! Would be keen to hear how well it works with the Xperia Z Ultra.
It's got mixed reviews on Amazon so far (link) but it's only $115 delivered so a pretty good price for a premium wireless headset.

Hello "julz", I have posted a few comments on this threads about the SBH 80 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2690241 and http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2673683), why don't you take a look at them and, after that, if you want to ask me something else feel free! Cheers.
Thanks for the links! I'm still after some more feedback on how well it works whilst running. Do the weights flop around and how about the neckband? Does it constantly shift and feel like it's about to fall off? Have you had the intermittent playback issues? I presume you're using a Z Ultra?
Thanks!

Good morning "julz" - well, for me it's morning time -, first of all, yes, I have been using the headset mainly with my Z ultra and, occasionally, with my BQ Edison tablet; by the way, as expected, they work proprely when connected to both devices at the same time (for exemple, watching a movie on the tablet, the headset will give me a signal that I have an incoming call and it is possible to answer it without problems). As you may already know, I bought this headset mainly for sports purpose and I am quit satisfied with it. Regarding your other questions, I have to emphasize that I am not a picky kind of guy regarding headset's, having said this, I don't note any flops with the lateral control units or neckband. I don't use to have the sensation that their are about to fall (at least on my 60 to 90 minutes runs) and I just refit the neckband occasionally (nothing that bothers me). Regarding the intermitente playback issues, I have shared my experience in the two threads that I suggested you yesterday. All and all, with me, I think those issues are somehow wi-fi related, but those are far from being a deal breaker for me because those circunstances are very particular (read my postes). Finally an update about the battery autonomy, if I recall it right, Sony advertise that they can stream 6 hours of music but, a couple of charges ago I got more than 7 hours of juice! Not bad! I hope I've been helpfull. Cheers.

They look fine but, in my particular case, I needed some kind of water resistant headset. Untill now, I had no problems with my prespiration with the Sony one's. Cheers.

Dude, just buy the Jaybird BlueBudsX, you will be glad you did. I researched forever for aptx compatible bluetooth headsets. I tried the LG Tone+ HBS-730s and ended up returning them. The collar was so annoying, and I bet the SBH80's will be as well.
The BlueBudsX are the most low-profile out of every bluetooth set on the market, just the buds and a flat cable you can tighten as much or as little as you like. They don't use aptx but do use a proprietary technology they call "Shift." I'm no audiophile, but for day to day listening, while working out, etc, they're great.
Just my opinion.
Absolute trash, these things
Started out good...but after using them for a few days, started experiencing persistent signal losses...even from 2 inches away. The worst bluetooth device i've ever owned. And no, they're impossible to run with. Don't believe the hype.
Does anybody have these?

Hello, besides the persistant signal losses that you report, I don't get why you say they are impossible to run with... I run very confortably with them from 30 minutes to two hour runs. :-/

\i have same problem.
it driving me crazy!! test it with other devices and got same problem.
if i keep the phone beside the hands-free it will work good as soon as i put my phone in my bag or on table it starts loosing connection!!!!
Does anyone who has the sbh80 found a source of replacement ear buds/grommets?
I lost one and called Sony who said they don't sell replacements. They're a different size to others, so I can't use some from some crappy other headset.
my previous post got autocorrected and the negative became a positive
so, I CAN'T find any earbuds which fit my SBH80 amongst my collection of old headsets
I'm planning on picking up the Z2 pretty soon to replace my dead iPhone, but I had a question about what comes in the box.
I've watched a couple unboxings and both pulled different things out, a guy from the UK had noise cancelling headphones but no magnetic cradle while an American had both the noise cancelling headphones and a magnetic charger. Did Sony **** up or do the included goodies vary by country? Is there a way to tell what you'll get in the box? Like a country list or something.
Thanks!

I see pictures of the Sony GP-VPT2BT Shooting Grip with an Xperia Pro-I, but the product's official page doesn't mention the compatibility with any phone.
Anybody confirms it works?
Thanks!
Hello!
Yes it is, it came with as a bundle for the Xperia Pro i I bought with additional phone holder for it and also a display. The VPT2BT with the phone holder I use almost daily, but the extra display I haven't used barely at all as it's ment for vlogging and I don't do it.
