Working bluetooth headsets for PDA2K?

Hi! Just want to know which bluetooth headsets are compatible with PDA2K. I spent a lot of time in the shop yesterday, but for the life of me, I couldn't get the SE HBH-600 or the Nokia HDW-2 to work with it.
The HBH-600 got paired, but as soon as a call connected, the audio was switched to the handset, with the headset being disconnected. As soon as the call was dropped, the connection to the headset was resumed.
As for the HDW-2, I couldn't get it to connect. I really need a bluetooth headset pronto, because of the incidences of cellphone-snatching here in Karachi, so please could you guys help me out ASAP? Thanks in advance!

Hi There,
I use the Jabra 250 without any problems
Cheers

I have tried 4 different headsets with the Blue Angel.
The current winner is the Cardo Scala 500...which is nice because its also the cheapest.

I'm using the older Sony Ericsson HBH-35 with mine and seems to work just fine. My only problems are that the battery on this one is dying a bit lately, but that's hardly the phones fault!

I am using the G2 Bluetrek as sold in O2 shops under the O2 brand.
Works...intemittently...sometimes great - sometimes very noisy - sometimes it looses connection! I also find that it seems to go to the highest volume setting at the start of every call which hurts my ears!

Well I have been using a Plantronics M3000 on BT Builds 3500 and then 3900 without any problems

Hallo!
I am using SE HBH 300, works fine with BT Builds 3500.
My older BT-headset Jabra 300 did´not worked, (could not answer 90% of the calls)

Hi.
Im using the HBH 600 with both BT Build 3500 & 3900.
I dont experience any troubles with the 3900 build, only the poor range and sometimes a little crackling sound, but this seems to be the same for all BT headsets with the BA.
You can get the Build 3900 from the ftp in BlueAngel/Cab_files/Bluetooth Upgrades/bt3900.cab

I am using the Nextlink Bluespoon AX. Works fine for me.

I have a Sony Ericsson HBH-660 Akono and works great (except for the fact that the headset's display just shows the number and not the name...)

I'm using the Jabra BT800, and it works perfectly, except for the caller ID showing just the number, and an annoying amount of static when going through an solid object (like my head :roll.
This is with bluetooth build 3500, and all the other headsets I've tried with this phone (SE HBH-65, HBH-300) have exhibited exactly the same problems with static through objects... would appear that the phone isn't giving the signal enough juice, or something? :?

Just took my old G2 to the O2 store and complained about it being so crap. They replaced it with a new O2 (Bluetrek?) one. Inital opinion is that it is a little better but not a lot - still noisy and complaints of it sounding bad from the other end.....

I'm using the Motorola HS810 and it works just great, actually after a soft reset the volume on the headset is too loud !

HBH-65 seems to work ok for me.

bosjo, it's good to hear that you have got the HBH-600 working. I am unable to do so. I had build 3500, but upgraded to 3900 after reading your post. Still no difference. I had noticed before that when I monitored the headset connection using Bluetooth Manager -> Active Connections, the status would be showing me a full signal, and intermittently, it would become red, meaning that the signal would keep going to zero, and coming back to full. This was even when the phone was hardly 6 inches away from the headset, in line of sight. I'm going to return my bluetooth headset tomorrow, and I wonder if I should get my handset replaced as well. I'm worried that since the problem wasn't fixed by the 3900 build, something may be wrong with my bluetooth radio hardware. Anyways, I am open to suggestions.

Look @ this... might help

I have a Bluespoon AX that works perfectly!!
Before that I had a Nokia HDW-2, it worked good too!

Hi all,
It seems the Nextlink Bluespoon AX gets a good press here with the XDA2s - so, where did you guys buy yours???
R

I'm using a bluespoon ax but mine definitely has that crackling sound. I'm using 1.0.0.3900. However, it's definitely not the headset because I've tried it with a magician and it works absolutely fine - friends told me it sounded the same as if I was speaking through the phone.

Sounds like the XDA2s bt stack still needs a lot of work - lets hope a rom upgrade comes out soon which mproves it - there realy is no excuse O2!!!

bluetooth stereo headset

Hi,
I am looking for a bluetooth stereo headset that supports A2DP, has CLI and works fine (compatible) with Artemis ( p3300).
The SE hbh-ds980 fits my bill, but I am facing problems with it( mic vol. on headset too low; opp. party can barely hear me). The other two headsets i found so far are SE hbh-ds970 and Nokia hs-12w. Is any1 here using the above mentioned headsets with no problem?
Thanks in advance!~

Hi,
I`m using a Jabra BT620 A2DP headset on my MDA Compact III, works fine!

thanks for the suggestion emiletelkamp...Any more inputs?
bump....

I use the Nokia HS-12W which has fairly good quality audio, but seems to need the PDA to be very close to it to work without skipping.
I usually clip the "body" of the HS-12W to the front of my shirt then put my Artemis (running WM6) in my shirt pocket - Works like a charm that way!
It doesn't natively support CLI, but I believe JetwareMobile can enable this, but I haven't tried it.

I've looked around and there are a few good stereo (earbud) headsets on the market. I also wanted to use my psp through bluetooth also(with the aid of the Ever-E A377 dongle).
My search narrowed down to:
Jabra BT320
Sony HBH DS970 or the 980
The Sony's seem to be the best two alternatives, and have had good reviews.
I'm probably going to go with the 970 as i wouldn't mind being able to control my music from both devices via AVRCP.
I'll get it at the end of the month and see how i do.

DS980 is a lot better than 970, so it does worth the money diffrence.

I couldn't see any features on the 980 that were better, i just put it down to one being silver and one being black.
I'll do some more research.
Cheers!

It's battery lasts 4-5 hours, wich is one hour longer than the battery life of ds970. It has a better and faster software. You can acces your call register(and the phone book also but i couldn't get it work yet).

Sorry to get slightly off topic but I have just bought a Jabra BT320 after reading this and other posts and cant seem to get the stereo (music) to work.
It just plays through the phone speaker, not the headphones, but the handsfree side of it seems to work.
Can anyone help me with this one please?

Its an nice one just bought it. Didn't get the phonebook to work either have you found a solution yet?
By the way how did you get the track playing in your display?

Motorola H820s
They're around 15UKP on Amazon, they sound great, they charge off USB and the battery lasts for ever, and they have AVRC buttons too. Work great with my Wizard, Artemis, Macbook Pro under Leopard, Belkin Tunestage, etc etc - can pair to 8 different devices too.

ds980
The ds980 works like a charm.
To bad the microsoft bluetooth stack is rubbish so don't expect the track titles and phonebook to show up.
Call history and caller id work!
After some research I found out track titles aren't showing due the lack of the latest Audio/Video Remote Control Profile (AVRCP) version in our phone.
The phonebook only works if Phone Book Access Profile (PBAP) is installed on our phones...
Now lets hope there is some wizzard who can help us with this.

Compatable Bluetooth Headsets

I recently purchased a Sony Ericsson Akono Headset HBH-608 from eBay (around £10, second hand but not been used), and would recomend it! Easy to use, good battery life, all the buttons work, and the voice dialing works with my Artemis too!
I thought it might be a good idea to start a thread for this, so that people trying to find a compatable headset will have somewhere to look
So, if you have a Bluetooth headset you would like to recomend, just post details here.
Cheers!

msi f110
tHOSE ARE AWSOME... REPLACEable aa battery.. I use them with phillips headphones...
love them..

Jabra BT8010
I am using Jabra BT 8010 with Artemis. It has A2DP too, so I can listen music as well as using it as headset. It has support for Stereo music too..

BlueAnt Z9
Use a Blueant Z9 with 02 Orbit and calls are very clear, it also has voice isolation which is great in noisy areas. Also commands via Z9 activate very well with Microsoft Voice Command v1.6 UK software

compatible BT headset with S200 Qtek

could anyone tell me wich is a compatible headset with S200 Qtek?
http://www.plaisio.gr/productlist.aspx?catalog=22&category=69978020
i tested i.tech and Motorola H680 and both of them , when i make a call, my voice is transferd ok... BUT i cannot hear anything..
Please help!!

compatible BT audio headset
I have bought and tested on S200 two headsets (with audio-listen to mp3 or radio/with autoswitch audio and telephone calls vice versa):
Sony Ericsson HBH-DS200 you can plugin your own 3.5mm earphones
Sony Ericsson HBH-DS970 fixed earphones with replacable earbuds
Plantronics Pulsar 260 with replacable earbuds
Worked realy fine until now.

What works
I have tried about 10 different Jabra headsets, they all work, so go for them!
But I like my jabra I think it was 250 or 250v, it is really better than a lot of the new ones ofcourse, I bought mine new..

I use Sony DR-BT21G stereo headphone and can happily confirm they work well in both cases. The only issue with them is they occasionally cut out if your moving around/jogging etc, but thats bluetooth for you They work well when stationary.
If you need a A2DP toggle/switch rather than doing lots of clicks to connect them check out my polaris post below, the switch works well on my prophet

Decent bluetooth headset

Hi guys, just signed up to this forum as I've just recieved a T-Mobile MDA Vario IV. I didn't like it (the operating system so I agreed with T-mobile to send it back and was going to get the N97 when it comes out, as I like the Symbian OS, but decided to keep the MDA now
I was wondering if anyone knows of a decent bluetooth headset that I can use for phone calls as one of my jobs involves alot of driving and it's easier to use a headset. I used to have a Motorola one that I got just after they brought out a law saying that if you get caught using your phone while driving then you get 3 points and a £60 fine. I've since lost the charger for it, and now the headset, so I'm looking for another one. I've looked on eBay, and there are thousands of them, so I was just wondering which ones people are using and if they are any good. I don't want to spend £20 or something on one and for it to be crap, in terms of sound quality, loudness, battery life, etc.
Cheers

I use Nokia BH-503
they're great
works fine with my x1
they are stero though

I use Sony HBH-DS970 on my Uni and work great
Stereo

Sennheiser MX W1 - No Bluetooth but excellent Audio quality.
Whoops, forgot to mention that its just for audio listening, no microphone

Watch the motos BT headsets listed on ebay, there is a ton of fakes going around. I've read this in a few places in the past...
