I upgraded to a GPS enabled DoPod ROM....
The bass is deep, using the BT headset above...
I can definitely recommend it!
That's all folks...
agree
I agree. If you have them snugly in your eyes, you'd swear you'd be at a nice club.

I also agree. But make sure you are not chewing gum at the same time. They gradually pop out And when you take them for jogging the main unit bounces on your chest You could have a look at the Jabra 8010 convertible I have them both so I know.
Solution to "bouncing" problem:
Get out of the clips, with the plastic loops, like used on employee id cards and clip to your shirt. Works great!
I love the fit, the look, the sound quality, the battery life and the controls.
I bought these earbuds so I do not look like an alien walking the streets and riding the subway with those Moto or Logitec headphones or like a 007 with the mono earpeace hanging on my ear and everyone asking with a smirk "Are you on the conference call or something ?".
I love the minimalistic look - they snuggle in the ear and sit there so comfortably, isolating the street/subway noise so well and I look "normal" like everyone listening to their iPods.
But the neck strap ... I hate the neck strap - it spoils everything ... it just does not go well with the suit and tie
Although it was a good thing to have while riding the board. They were hanging perfectly fine on my neck when I took them out snowboarding back in February. I haven't used them since. The WM6 stack or the radio itself was dropping the BT connection every time GSM signal would bounce and GPRS connection had to be re-established.
qWith the latest ROM/GSM combination "released" few weeks ago BT finally became stable and I pulled them out for another spin. To my greatest disappointment I could not adjust the neck strap anymore - it would not slide up or down along the ear butts wires. Closer look revealed that the wires got out of the protective nylon sleeve inside those sliding plastic leads to which neck strap snaps in. I spent an hour or more trying to pull the ear butts wires inside the sleeves ... no luck.
So I did not think for too long before I snapped the neck strap off. Now I am left with the 2 small plastic leads on each wire .... one below the mic and second below the phone button. Not a good thing to have, especially when you can't slide them. Few more minutes of hesitations and I cut those plastic leads / cups off. I ended up with a 3mm slack of wire stiking out of the sleev on one of them and I'm thinking of cutting the sleeve off completly, leaving the wires exposed as all other earbudds have.
I had the small clip which was attached to my older Jabra headphone and it sits very well on the headphones wire.
The adjustable neck strap was getting on my nerves anyway
I love the fit, the look, the sound quality, the battery life and the controls.

mine is not fake, sound quality is perfect, and the battery life is normal- around 5-6 hours. which totally sucks
My battery life is 5-6 hours on continual use (listening to audio books). I've accidently left it powered on for several days, but didn't use them - so in standby they do last awhile.
I know I have a good set, already bought fakes then real ones, but just curious what behaviour are you getting while listening to music and taking a call? Do the audio controls work ok after a call? Meaning Pause/Play? If I had audio going, make a call, then go to resume the audio - play, fwd/rev, and volume work. But it won't pause anymore. I have to go in and refresh on my 8525 to get all functions.
Battery life is good. Had the same problem with the strap not being adjustable after a few months. think it is a shrinking of the sleeve or something. darn pissed with it. brought it to the service centre and they replaced me with a new set.
Does the caller ID stuff work with the MDA VARIO II? Also does it notify you of missed call's and txt messages?
I was thinking of getting this but wasnt sure if it was compatable.
Also does the unit take AA batteries or do you just charge it? Also whats the battery indicator like, is it just 3 bars (personally i hate having very basic battery indicators!)
The caller ID shows the number only. No other indicator functions I noticed working on Cingular 8525. It has to be charged and seems to have more than just 3 bars ... maybe 4 but hard to tell just like that.
it shows number only with my 838 Pro, but with SE and Nokia handsets, it shows the name of the caller
Anyone know of a USB charger for the DS970?
I just got my DS970 headphones the other day (just two days before the DS980 came out, but that's life...). I like them a lot (sound, fit, function are great with all the patches, of course)
However, it bothers me that they come with a fat old wall charger and no USB charging cable. I try to carry no transformers with me when I travel and just have USB cables to charge all my gizmos from my laptop, but this gadget of course has its own weird connector (typical Sony) and no USB.
Anyone found a USB charging cable for this baby?
Can someone confirm that the DS790 works well with AKU 3.3 and up with WM5 and microsoft BT stack?
Does the song title show up? and does it tell you if text messages are received?
I have the Herald and it works perfectly. All controls work and all sounds (including the messaging sounds) are routed to the headset. Only thing worth noting on the sound is that when the phone rings, it will still ring loudly and the headset plays its own ringtone in the headphone (don't know why). My Herald is running WM5 with the default MS stack.
Song titles does not work and call ID only shows numbers, not caller name (which is stored in the contact list)

Works as advertised on WM6. DO not remember when I bought them, but see no rason it wouldn't work on WM5 - MS stack haven't change much. To answer the second part, may I refer you to the post #13 above.
I just picked up one off ebay...
I'm now a little pissed that they are fakes..
The quality is just fine for what I need them for except that playing music they work fine..
I play a movie.. NO GO..
Is there a reg setting for this? Anyone else experience this?
Again Windows Media Player MP3's work fine... MP4 Video.. it won't play though these.
Thanks,
Headset connection shortcut?
Anyone know a quick way to connect the 970 for Wireless Stereo use?
I have a Hermes running WM6, and can connect quickly to make phone calls using the button on the headset. But when I want to use it for music I am currently opening Comm Manager, selecting Bluetooth settings, and then selecting "set as Wireless Stereo" in the device tab.
Would love it to be automatically selected when I turn on Bluetooth.
Thanks
Right still trying to find my ideal headset so bought a BT21G headset.
Basics are:
11 hr bat life (unconfirmed)
8 device pairing
lightweight
over ears & behind neck design
Overview
They fold up which is great for putting in your pocket or bag and a light weight to wear. Comfortable for 2hrs so far but I expect you could wear a lot longer with no problems.
The indicator lights are quite small and although you can't turn them off they are not very noticable unlike some headphones I have tried...
Sounds is very good with no problems with volume.
No stutter on basic tytn thats right they work out the box!
Tested with tytn in pocket and also in a bag. Managed to go into next room from tytn with no stutter but once there were two brick walls in the way music stuttered.
You do get a little stutter if browsing web using GPRS at same time as music if web page has lots of pictures (processor prob there on tytn). But for normal browsing whilst listening its fine.
Sounds on calls is good and doesn't seem to pick up to much background noise (had one call next to a running washing mashine with no probs). Outside they are pretty good but as with all BT headsets I have tried so far wind is an issue so no talking whilst running...
Controls are easy to find and adjust (unlike the motorola s9's).
There does not seem to be a mute function though or switch call facility (i.e. put one person on hold then take another call).
The charger is a tiny barrel design rather than mini usb (pretty much a deal breaker for me unf. as fed up with taking millions of chargers with me) but if you don't mind this then hey these are very good headphones indeed.
Hello,
Almost everything is in the title
I'm looking for a as2p headset to use with my TyTN. I need a small transmitter with a 3.5 mm audio jack for using with a customised earphone.
I was about so buy the HTC BH-S100 but I've seen in many forums that the volume is too slow with it ! And as I'm planning to use it in my car too, I need a sound volume high enough.
Maybe someone knows another transmitter ?
What about i-Tech ClipR35
Thanks for your help in advance
Look at a Motorola S705 by chance?
Try the Tritton Bluestream AX, it's a bit expensive but it was worth it. I love the OLED screen since i dont have to take my phone out to see whose calling. the sounds pretty good too and u can upgrade it's firmware too
Tritton Bluestream AX from ebay 49.99 us, free shipping. Ill test this out, since its cheap enough. Thanks for the heads up.

After using this device, 1 month straight.. It stays in my pocket 11 hrs at work. Streaming audio, works like a champ.
Thanks for the suggestion
look for jabra bt3030 u can use it for comp and with any type of head pone , i have this one for my htc tytn ,

hi.... am looking for a good a2dp headset too..
criteria - OLED display showing the name of the caller, and good quality sound!!! Both are extremely important..
3 choices - Motorola S705; Sony HBH-DS980; and the Jabra BT8010. Any opinion on these products?
I've got the Motorola S705. The sound quality is good (with original earphones), the battery is quite good (2hrs charging for 6-8hrs of music), it also got FM radio. The detection of the device is fast and easy to do. The OLED screen is quite readable in sunny days... But navigating in the device's options is a little bit laggy.
For me it's a good headset. Now it's time for you to make a choice

The only issue I have had with the S705 is that sometimes when you try to asnwer the phone the S705 goes offline and requires the unit to be powered off and on again.
I haven't been able to re-create the problem.
I also notice the lag, but it isn't that big of a deal-I've been having more issues with the various media players in their time to switch tracks when shuffle playing my library (2,000+ songs, AAC-HE encoded).
I never had the "answering" problem on my S705... Am I lucky ? But it's true that the lag is not very big.
It's a good device but not well known as Plantronics' headset.
ok.. am close to liking the S705. Have 2 questions...
1) Does it actually have a 100 metres range as mentioned on their website? http://direct.motorola.com/ens/s705/Headset_Fullspecs.asp
2) Does it have noise cancellation?
Thanks and much appreciated!

(1) Yes, being a Class 1 device it does have a large range, but it's dependent on the other device its connected to. In other words, you're stuck with longest distance of the shortest device in the chain. Since most of the phones out there are Class 2 devices (10 m), you're going to be limited by the class 2 device range. And for all practical purposes, the usable range is usually about 30 to 50% of its advertised range.
(2) I do not believe it has noise cancellation, but I haven't had any issues with noise being a problem.
I am simply in love with my Plantronics 590's.
1. No one ask me if I'm on a headset during a phone call and the clarity is top notch.
2. The music is clear, crisp. I have no problem connecting to my 8125 or the Nokia 5300 I have.
3. If you get the more expensive A package (instead of the E package) or buy it aftermarket, it comes with an adapter that goes into any 3.5mm headset (plasma tv, computers, etc....) allowing you to connect and listen to that device in stereo. I've been at least 35 meters away and had a clear audio signal with no signal or quality loss. Movies, videos and regular tv sound awesome. Also if the device you are connecting with has equalizer settings the headset sound does as told.
4. I've had other Plantronic devices before ( a usb headset with dsp for gaming). This device was destroyed by my son and when I sent it in for repair the warranty was honored and a new set was sent to me although the product is out of production! That goes far with me when a company actually stands behind it's product.
5. They look good to me.
I hope you enjoy whatever headset you get.
I've had an i-Tech ClipR35 for a year or so now and I'd recommend people stay away from it. I don't use it for calls, just to listen to music while at the gym or doing other physically intensive things when I don't want my Hermes in my pocket. It actually left it at one machine and got half way across the gym before the music started to drop out, at least 50 meters if not 75m.
However it's buggy. Sometimes while running on a treadmill I'll hit the "skip-forward" button to skip to the next track and it will inexplicably turn off, switching all music to the Hermes' quite loud speaker. Bad time to be listening to Eddie Murphy's "Party all the Time". It doesn't want to connect to the phone; I have to soft-reset, then "set as wireless stereo" in comm manager for it to connect every time I power it on.
The volume is also a little on the weak side for me. I want to the max volume to be ear splitting so when I'm biking along a busy road I can overpower the road noise. I have good Sennheiser ear buds that can seal out alot of noise but I always have the clip at 90-95% of the volume under normal conditions.
I want to replace it but it wasn't until recently that there were many other options, and they're all still on the expensive side for replacing something that is operational if buggy.
hey wazmo, just to update u... i finally purchased the sony DS980.... and did not go for the Moto!
When i put 2 and 2 together.... i simply ended up liking the Sony piece....
will let u know how good it is.... soon...
I also use a Plantronics 590 and it is really good. Bass sounds good on it, it has a telescoping mic and the controls are easy to use on the side. The only gripe I have about it is the flashing blue ring. It flashes blue every 3s when it is paired to a device, it's fairly bright and would be annoying had I not wrapped it in electrical tape.
They are fairly comfortable, however after a couple of hours they start to hurt my due to the thin padding. Battery life is really good,
The next pair I will be purchasing will be Motorola S805.
Jabra BT320s, works really well....pair of sony earphones to go with....nice.

Hi All,
I have just purchased and tested this product. It cost just £22 from Ebay. Quite a bargain really. The build quality is quite poor. However, the D2 does fit quite nicely and you don't need to fiddle with it too much to get the mini USB connected. One strange thing is the side flanges. They do overlap the green and red phone buttons slightly, so you could find yourself accidentally calling someone when inserting the D2 into the cradle.
Once in, it is an excellent product. The sound quality through the car radio is superb. Even driving through London (where the airways are filled with legal and illegal radio stations) there is no interference with this transmitter. I have tried a few of these type of FM transmitters and can happily say this is easily the best so far. The volume on the D2 needs to be turned down to about 13 or 20% on the HTC, otherwise you will get some distortion when playing loud music.
Re-tuning is a breeze with the back-lit LCD screen, if the frequency you have it on has some interference.
One problem is making or receiving a call. When a call comes in, you can hear the ringing through the car speakers. However, this device disables the D2 microphone and does not have one built in itself. The only work around for this is to have a bluetooth headset. Therefore, once a call comes in, the bluetooth headset will then provide the sound and microphone and so you can speak/hear as normal. The car speakers will be disabled once you accept the call through the bluetooth headset. Obviously the headset will need to be connected first. Personally, I use a small programme called bluepower. This turns on bluetooth on my D2 when it is being charged and then turns it off (to save battery) when it is not being charged. Therefore, as soon as I put the D2 into the cradle, it links with my already paired bluetooth headset
So, I can now sit in my car with my D2 charging, playing music through my car radio and make/receive calls using my bluetooth headset without any problems....
All sounds great doesn't it?
However, there is one small problem.
If I choose to listen to a different radio station, I will not be able to hear my D2 ring or hear when an email/text comes in, or to the voice guidance on my iGO8 (not that I use it).... You may consider this a safety feature because you don't want to have this distraction whilst driving do you? Obviously you can still see these events in the usual way, if your screen is turned on. This is not such a huge problem I don't think, but some might.
Perhaps it will be easy to be able to somehow link up a working microphone with this system and have a rather decent hands free system, but I don't know how to. I have seen other threads which have also described this problem with other such systems, but never a solution except the bluetooth headset one. Maybe someone can suggest a registry tweak for this or a Mortscript programme???
Anyway, to conclude, I am very happy with this purchase, especially at the price.
Hope this helps someone
will the Pure fit in a TD2 cradle?
Will the Pure fit in a TD2 cradle? The bottom ends appear to be differently shaped. Is it close enough that the two can be interchanged for a cradle like mitsi posted?
I want a nice cradle with a built in usb plug so I dont have to figit. The proclip one is too darn expensive. Whereas the custom fitted car cradles for the TD2 are plentiful...
Mic For the FM Transmitter ALMOST !!!
Well like you i bought one of these fine products I did come across a couple of issues (and work arounds).
1. At certain output frequency's the GPS did not work ??, noticed that when the power to the FM Tx was removed the GPS signal returned. as I tried different channels the interference varied so worth looking out for.
2. Again at different output channels I would pickup the mobile trying to make a connection to the network (approx every 10min), again changed the channel the effect varied from bad to zero.
Microphone, I took my unit apart and the pcb has the position for a MIC marked on the pcb but no mic fitted. I took out a mic from the supplied handsfree kit supplied with the phone this fitted and off I went to try but no luck.
On further investigation the mic needed to be wired pack to the usb plug BUT the pins for the plug are enclosed in the glue used to hold the plug in position and there were no leads off the plug to wire too !!!!!!!!!!!!
But like u the unit is still worth the cash
So im facing an interesting problem
I tried Samsung Level U Pro
Apple Airpods
Some generic Bluetooth Headphones
And some tecevo S4 headphones
I tried tons of phones legit like 50 at least (i trade phones constantly) and still as soon as i put my phone into pocket of my pants audio starts clipping or disappearing and it happens on 3 out of 4 headphones i mentioned my old Tecevo S4's are the only ones that dont clip on any phone when phone is in the pocket my question is why is there a way to fix that by changing some settings or could it be that my body is blocking the Bluetooth lol
