BT Headset recommendations...

I have the BT800 and so far my experience with it is pretty negative.
Other than the fact that it just doesn't sit will on my ear, all the people that I have phone conversations with tell me that my voice keeps cutting off every couple of seconds. They have a hard time understanding what I'm saying.
Anybody else have this behaviour? Which BT headset do you guys recommend?

I am also looking for recommendations for a new BT headset, but let me also contribute with what I had (lost it now).
I had the Bluespoon AX. It was by far the most comfortable thing I have ever put in my ear. It is so small and light and comfortable, that you almost forget it is in there, and at the end of the day, you find it in your ear by accident sometimes.
That said, when I lost it I did not shed a tear. Using it with Universal was quite painful. The sound would crackle if the AX and the Universal were on different sides of my body. Not a distance issue, but somehow an interference from my body in between.
The AX is useless in any environment there is noise and/or wind. I suppose they could not use a directional mic because the mic is so far away from your mouth (practically *in* your ear). It worked fine when I was sitting in a quiet place though, but then...
With the Universal, only the handsfree profile is available. While this worked fine for outgoing calls (can make voice dial calls and all), for some reason on incoming calls, when the AX is active, Universal would not ring. The only call indicator is on the AX and if you don't happen to be wearing it at the time, you will miss the call.
I have been reading up on other models. The AX2 apparently has better reception, but I am not sure about noise and the BT software problems.
The digital model has noise cancelling, but it is way too expensive to buy it on faith alone.

Same problem with my Motorola H500... anyone any ideas how to avoid this apart from buying another model

I have HBH 662 (Sony Erricson). Its very tiny, formerly it did not fit easily in my ear, but now I used to it, though I do not like to have it on all day long. The sound quality is too low/not loud enough though I set to the highest volume already. The battery life is not good, it barely survives my every day calls, I'm not a super call person, just average.
Things that really annoying:
- The Caller ID display is too small to read and it only shows the first half of the caller's number then scroll the remaining digits.
IT DOES NOT show the caller's name. Have been patiently enough to wait for this to be fixed by MS/imate/other vendor whatsoever. If anybody has a workaround, PLS.. PLS... PLS... share....
- The ringer is very low and intended to tell you there is a call if you have it on your ear. Does not have a vibrate function. If the Universal is in silent mode, most likely I cannot tell when there is an incoming call.

Bt Headsets
I am using the Bluestreak G2 headset which seems to work O.K. and Has About 8 hours of use. Background noise is acceptable but it doesn't seem to do noise cancellation.
Have noticed that if WIFI is active with BT the headset drops out a little. Seems O.K. If Wifi is off & BT is on. Not ideal if you want to use Skype with BT.

Have tried the following with my Exec:
- Tekkeon ET3000 (with display like the BT800 but better), great battery life, good volume, okay quality sound, okay comfort, no problem with call transfers from the Exec
- SE HBH-608, fantastic battery life, very comfortable, good quality sound, very comfortable, okay volume (seems limted by the Exec)
- Jabra BT800, okay battery life, okay comfort, good sound quality, okay volume, seems a bit slow transferring calls between the headset and the Exec

Have you tried putting the names/numbers also on the SIM Card?! I read somewhere that headset profile is using the SIM Card's phonebook...

No, it does not work either, even though the contact name is saved in the SIM card. Have been searching for workaround/solution but have not found any good answer yet.

globalsat
I have the Globalsat gps338 ,and it works very well ,use with gpstuner ,and teletype gps software which is slow to update on the Mda pro but the bluetooth gps pair well with the program and with 9 satellites showing indoor .Any Sirf III chipset will be ok.The only thing that does not work in the universal is the gpsinfo program that comes with the gps338.
Anyone with the gps338 ? works well with mapapolis too.

You mean the Jabra?
Update the Firmware - there's a patch available on Jabra.com - I did thsi recently and it's a big improvement. Even my wife can hear me properly now.
(not sure if that's a good thing or not to be honest.....)

what, like carrying the phone on the same side of your body as the headset??
(Like it says to do in the instructions... )

Thx Riceburner!
figures! I've been checking the Jabra site for an update repeatedly but of course as luck will have it, as soon as I stopped looking...there it is.
I will update my BT800 tonight and see what happens. Tell me, did you have the same problems? Voice kept cutting off? All around bad performance from this headset?
thx.

motorola H700, great audio, great look, light and good batteries and......................same mini USB charger

Well...no improvements.
I updated the firmware on my Jabra BT800 and although I noticed an improvement in the time it takes to transfer the call to the headset, I still have the same problem with my voice cutting off.
I tested it repeatedly by making more than one phone call and the result was always the same. While I'm speaking, the person on the other end says that my voice keeps cutting off. Therefore beginning or end of words are totally cut off. Very frustrating to have a conversation when the person on the other end keeps saying "what?".
If nobody else is having this problem with the BT800 and the Universal, then I guess I got stuck with a faulty headset?

i have the hbh 662 sony. not impressed with it to be honest. unless i am less than 1/2 metre from it, the quality of the line deteriorates alarmingly. I was hoping to be able to stick it on the kitchen table and then walk around having a phone call. I can't do this.
Also had ideas for having the universal in my pocket, and using the headset almost as a standalone phone. This doesn't work that well either. tried the headset with a orange c500 , and it was so much better.
also upgraded to the latest radio update (1.04.02). this didnt do anything for the quality of the line either.
is it the universal or the sh1te ms bluetooth stack? how does the jabra bt 800 compare?
(i have the orange m5000 with a qtek rom)

My Review of the Nokia HS-12W A2DP BT Headset

It's pretty good,
My first concern was that the sound quality was going to be rubbish, like when you listen to music with a mono BT headset, something I never did because aswell as being mono it also cut all of the clarity from the music ! fortunatly I can report the music makes it through in hi quality sound
My second concern was that the audio player was not going to work properly fortunatly although not perfect it's working quite well !! most notably the track listing is not showing in the screen, the biggest down side is that it stutters a bit from time to time, not so much that you want to throw it aginst a wall, but enough to be mildly irritating (seems to be linked to a bit rate issue) . also rewind and FF do not work with the universal, but next/previous track does, as does pause and auto pause on phone ring. I am a bit dissapointed that nokia did not include any kind of equalizer settings I personally would like some more bass.
The phone side is quite impressive I like the ability to quickly redial the last number or voice dial however due to the same limitations as the audio player it is currently not displaying peoples names only their number !! otherwise works quite well.
The FM RDS radio is a nice addition, it works well considering the aerial is the strap around your neck
my biggest overall gripe (ie wont be fixed by a firmware upgrade) is the shape of the earpieces, for a company that have been making headsets for this long these are awfull, it's like wedging big uncomfortable lugs in your ears, the real jasjar earpieces are way more comfy (and have better bass response)
So far only tested with media player as reports would indicate that for now A2DP only works with media player

Once the Pocket Music and Pocket Player people get on top of it, you can have remote control with their programs, as both offer equaliser/preamp.
Both are working on it.

Cool I look forward to it !!!
I have got to the bottom of my stuttering !! it is nothing more than signal strength, but I dont see why it is happening !! its hard to explain but the signal is not as robust as when you are just using it for phone calls. it claims 10 Meters and its true that in an open area with devices able to see each other both phone call and music will just about manage 10M however if you put an obstacle in the way (like a door) , where as the phone would continue to work the music player will not !! infact for 100% reliable music you are looking at 1 meter (open air) , and half that again if your phone is buried deep in your pocket.

check my review here:
http://www.mobileplanet.com/forumthread.asp?code=121010&thread=2

Guys whats your range like, i get no more than a meter away from my phone and the sound drops out, also have a hiss in the background that is really annoying at low volumes any thoughts ???

I did mention the whole 1 meter thing in my second post !!! I can't hear any hiss ( none loud enough to degrade the music anyway !!) tested with my Exec at full volume and media player also at full volume but the headset at minimum volume, ( thus giving the headset the best signal to noise ratio to play with )

Please tell me one thing: I've seen the unwired.net review state that the headset can connect simultaneously to a headset profile and A2DP profile, but only if coming from the same device, meaning that you cannot have A2DP coming from your PDA and Headset coming from your phone. Is this true? The guy said it was a preproduction model and firmware can be changed, so could you please tell me if this is in your model too?

Yes, this is true. It can only connect with one device at the same time.

That means this device is crippled, as it is very common for one to have music on one device and use another as a phone...
Do you know of any other product that offers the same opportunities in a similar form factor desides this one? I've found this one from Sony Ericsson http://www.sonyericsson.com/spg.jsp...der&php=php1_10394&zone=pp&lm=pp4_1&pid=10394 but it does not have radio.

I'm looking for something very close with this Nokia headset. Only one thing left, that I think very important. I want to be able to unplug the earphones from the unit. This is important, so that when we get to the airplane, we can unplug it and still use the same earphones connected directly to the Uni without the BT on.
Secondly, it will enable the unit to be plugged into Car Audio AUX input.
I have saw a couple of headsets that have this feature, from GlobalSat, and from itech. But both do not have caller ID screen.
http://www.usglobalsat.com/item.asp?itemid=98
In short, I want something like this Nokia, but detachable earphones like the Globalsat or itech.

I'll probably be getting this as well very soon. Just one thing, has anyone tried it with wizard and if so, what was it like?

Anyone know where to get one in the US? All links found so far are sellers in the UK.

im sure expansys US are selling it !!
Since my review I have tried it with a nokia phone and it performs better, the issue with signal strength from 50CM or less through you body has been improved. The main problem might be the positioning of the BT chip in the UNI, this may never be fully resolved !!! unless someone can hack the UNI firmware to tell the BT chip to broadcast with more power than it should.

Thanks, i will look at their site.

I bought the Nokia a few weeks ago but havent really tested until today. After reflashing the rom on my BA and installing the A2DP cab it works very well. Range is good with line of sight and the controls work ok. Only thing is an occasonal sound dropout of under a second, which has already been mentioned. Not enough to be a problem so far. Sound could use a bit more bass but that can be solved with a player that has an eq. Overall im happy with the Nokia.

I've had this headset for a week and am very pleased with it. Before this one I had the bluetake i-phono mini 450rx and they weren't half as good. This headset connects quikly, plays music with good sound, the radio is good with the programming of the radio stations literally being a minutes work. And most importantly, I can have a decent conversation with someone without problems. I experience stuttering ebery once in a while. But as commented above the range isn't great, but it's good enough to live with. The only downside at the moment is that I have to use windows media player that needs the playlist to be set up every time and the remote control doesn't work after a while of listening to music or after using other apps. I hope that this is a software issue. Before I had my mda I always had nokia phones because they were the best developed in their music functions. This headset strikes me as being the same good technology combined with A2DP. So in the whole I am very happy with this headset. I don't mind the earphones, I think they're comfy (far better than the original mda pro headset which gave bad sound and wasn't stable or comfy), everybody their own preferences. If I had to go for an alternative to this headset, I would go for the sony ericsson HBH DS970, but I didn't have the patience to wait for it and it doesn't have a radio built in. The only downside to choosing the universal was that it doesn't have a radio (something I've had in my nokia's for a while). Now my universal it complete and I am one proud universal owner!

ng
you can use the pocketmusic.You have to buy it but it works fine with the HS-12W. All the AVRCP commands works.
The HS-12W its really great. The only downside its that the universal dont use all of his functions. No ID caller, no play list in display, no message alert.
I belive that there is a software problem. I hope someone finds the solution.
But dont getr me wrong: the HS-12W is great.

I wouldnt say the HS-12W was great at all
my review:-
*sounds quality is good, but you can't unplug and plug in your own headphones.
*completely unergonomic design, Nokia should take a lesson from Sony on ergonomic remote designs, each button should 'feel' different. Each time I want to do something on the nOkia I have to actually look at it.
* it's pretty ugly, anyway no where near as nice as the HBH-DS970 (or whatver it's called ) the sony ericson one.
but as far as the basic connection, streaming that all works very well.
all just my humble opinion so take with pinch of salt

Here is a link to a user review of the sony ericsson headset http://www.howardforums.com/showthread.php?p=7463154#post7463154
I personally prefer the Nokia as it has a radio and the construction is solid. Also no problems resuming music after a call.

Everybody his own opinion, it all depends on what you want from a headset.
In any case I'm happy with this headset but agree that the headset has more possibilities than the universal uses, maybe in time there will be an update or something. But untill that time it works fine.
About pocket music, I'm not sure it works so great. I downloaded the trial version and tested it with some music, but the remote control didn't respond. Maybe I should try it again. I want to be sure the software is worth it for me before I buy it.

Overall Best Bluetooth Headset

Hello I have the JasJar and am getting tired of holding it to my face. SO my question is what is the overall best headset for the Imat JasJar. Price is not an issue

http://www.itechdynamic.com/en/products_spec.asp?cid=2&pid=02030
I have been using its predessor called ClipS and have no complaints to make. Its simple items like this that puts the Ipod in its inferior place. Yes, my Universal is my mobile media player as well.... my External USB disk too ..... my scrapbook notepad ..... my GPS navigator .... oh .... forgot to mention the all important fact that its my phone as well
Edit: I do have 1 complaint. A car charger for the headset does not exist.

Yes, but beware of the counterfeits from Hong Kong.
Also, it is not a stereo BT for listening to music, but excellent for making phone calls.

Tekkeon EzTalker Digital
The Tekkeon EzTalker Digital ET3000 is the best I have come across. It has a screen and Caller ID so that you dont even need to open the JasJar to know who is calling. Also at USD 80 it is pretty cheap. But one thing is that you have to install Jetware Mobile so that Caller ID names display.

Hmm .... why not allow Voice Command to announce who is calling you?

The Best by far
I have tried numerous ones including: Bluetrek, Plantronics, Sony Ericsson and a couple of jabra models -BT800, 125 etc(Which all worked), but my fav one is the Jabra JX10. Superiour sound and DSP for louder volume as the ambient noise levels gets louder.

gopi51,
Want to ask you more about the Tekkeon ezTalker Digital (ET3000) on how the storing phone number works.
- Does it store both incoming and outgoing numbers?
- Does it store both the name and the number?
Can it access the PPC Contacts?
Thanks.

Jabra bt8010
like a previous responder I have tried my fair share of headsets: for sheer all-day comfort Jabra500 fits comfortably around the ear and will stay put under some extreme circumstances, its not stereo. Functionality the Jabra 800 and with the Jetware software you get caller id and name but to me its not comfortable I looked at the Jawbone watched the video and actually tried it out, and DAMN it actually works like they say it cancels noise, but it looks kinda goofy, not in a bad way but it BIG. Then I got the Jabra 8010 its sleek no flashing lights just function; caller id number(anyone know if Jetware is compatible with this)can handle two phones ie. you can pair two phones with it and answer both(not at the same time) call 1 comes in on phone A you answer it talk and then hang up and then call 2 comes in on phone B you can pick it up and do the same thing. You can also add frequently called numbers to it(believe 30) and call straight from it, OLED display, and stereo bluetooth with remote functions , haven't gotten around to playing with that just yet. Anyways thats my 2 cents. Enjoy

1) It stores only Incoming Phone numbers and the last re-dialled number
2) Stores only the number. However during Incoming call both the number and the name as stored in the Phone Contacts is shown one on each line with scrolling if its too big to fit.
3) Yes phone can access PPC contacts. However since display is small and it goes through lots of numbers it is not a very convienent feature.

jawbone for me! im streaming mp3's to it fine.. not stereo but good enough for me..

high end...
jawbone wins hands down...
lower end...
samsung wep 200

Thanks gopi51 for answering my questions.
I think I have more question if you do not mind,
Does it access the Contacts (Outlook) or the SIM Address book when you press the "down" button?
If it does access the Outlook Contacts, does it only give you the default number (ie mobile, home, office as its being set in Contacts) or it also list down all of them as separate entries like:
Fred mobile
Fred office
Fred etc..
Thanks again!

stock eargel did not fit well..kinda modded mine and am using jabra minigel now. its more comfortable, plus just today, i just figured out how exactly i should position the eargel. now, im using the jawbone without the earhook.

Jawbone vs. Jabra X10
Jawbone weighs about double, so my ears are fine!

Hey hey,
Bought the Jawbone. Wow, realy nice bit of kit.
Works real well so far.

Where to buy Jawbone in EU?
I tried to find an online shop in Europe, which sells this Jawbone headset, but had no luck.
I read, it should be available at UK Carphone warehouse, but I can not find it on their website.

HBH-DS220?

Anyone here tried this new Sony-Ericsson Bluetooth Stereo Headset? Comments? Reviews? Reviews on the web?

yeah I tried it and still am!!!!
I bought the hbh-ds220 about a week ago and have had nothing but trouble.
Is a little temperamental connecting to my TYTN II and it not really clear how the buttons are supposed to work with things like voice dial, redial etc. If you just want it to play and pause music then its just about acceptable. The volume control is a bit naff... you press and hold the play button and it cycles through loud, louder, loudest, quiet, quieter, quitest. There's no visible way to tell what volume level you are on though so its a bit guess work.
The headphones are really poor by Sony standards. They are supposed to be mega bass but have barely any bass response at all.
The worst thing though is the in-call sound quality. It sounds like the person on the other end is talking underwater.
I have looked round the net to find a fix but found none. I can't be the only person having this trouble.
I love Sony products and only buy Sony. I wish I'd never laid ears on this though.
If anyone has any suggestons to improve the sound quality then I'd be grateful.

I bought a DS220 the other day and love it! It paired great with my HTC Touch Dual and I listen to music and take calls etc.
I dumped the SE earphones though and use my own ones.

I am having problems with the phone dropping the connection the the headset after calls. I have to turn the headset off and then on again to reestablish the connection after every call.

it's been a while, but hey, what the heck:
http://justanothermobilemonday.com/...-ericsson-hbh-ds220-stereo-bluetooth-headset/

you should try a new one like Nokia original, Jabra etc. I think these are better.
or you will have to take to care center.

I recently bought a Jabra 3030 for my Diamond. And it STINKS. I even went through two of them, thinking that the first was faulty/broken. Nope. They both had a loud background noise that ruined any type of sound quality, not to mention the electronic turn on/off of the bluetooth itself that poked a hole in your ear.
I replaced it with a DS-200 (similar to the DS-220, presumably) and its much, much better. The noise is far less and the turn on/off is barely noticable.
This is just my personal experience though, everyone else seem to praise the 3030 for its quality...

The Desire's Radio Interferes with Head-phones?

Hi there,
I didn't believe it at first, but the GSM / 3G radio on my Desire interferes with the headphones while I listen to music, to the degree that it is, well... unlistenable. I have to activate the Airplane Mode in order to listen to music, which I think is just preposterous. I've never had that problem with any other phone.
You know that annoying noise that cellphones can induce in stereo speakers, if the speakers are connected to an unearthed socket? That's what I hear in my headphones on the Desire.
Is this due to a unique fault in just my unit, or do any more of you hear this noise?
Cheers

I hear it only when the internet connection is active - and even then it is quite low (but still there).
So all I have to do is turn off internet connection and the problem is solved.

Hi i'm glad someone else has noticed this thought it was just me
here was my thread about it:

Definitely seems like poor shielding to me. I can't believe nobody else has noticed it. Maybe because I use sound isolating headphones so it makes background noise quieter?
A very serious flaw for something I use as my main Mp3 player

Someone at your thread wrote "Apparently I had the 'only use 2G networks' option turned on! Now with 3G the issue is gone". I am actually on the countryside at the moment and unfortunately required to connect using GSM / Edge, perhaps that's what causing the noise and it will disappear on 3G? Either way, it shouldn't be there in the first place

Exactly. This is a basic requirement.

Just under that option is the option to turn off mobile internet...try that instead, at least you still get phone calls and messages that way.

I just replied in the other topic. I have this problem withg several in.ears, and disabling internet or enabling airplane mode doesn't help at all. As long as the phone plays sound (and for four seconds afterwards - ie, as long as the "soundcard" in the phone is turned on) it makes a hissing sound, making it completely unfit for music and to some degree tv series/movies too.
edit: Guess I should mention that the volume is also too loud, there is NO way I can have it more than two or three steps from the bottom, and between the lowest step and "silence" (ie. only hissing) there is quite a jump in dB.

What product are you using? I've only noticed this on products of poor quality. Both my AKG and MW600 have no problems with it at all.

As I said in the other thread, I'm using a good quality closed headset and there is no hint of hiss.

I have the same problem with a pair of Creative Aurvana in-ears and a pair of Sennheiser CX300. While they are not the most expensive sets you can buy, they bot sound fine while used with other devices - ie. a Nokia 5800, an iPhone 3g and my old Creatove Zen Micro. It is most certapnly the Desire that is the problem.
I expect to hear noise wih low ompedance in-ears on cheap laptops and non-branded china players, but not on somathing claiming to be a great multimedia phone at a pricetag of $620 (unbranded in Norway).
This prolem most likely stems from bad intrnal isolation of the audio chip/wires/jack, and would ofc not be heard with a BT headset... As to your AKG, unless they are low impedance in-ears, whether you hear noise in them or not is equally uninteresting.
I would really like someone with a good pair of low impedance headphones and good hearing to say that their phone is NOT producing this white noise. My pal didn't think his did, but it sure does. If it is just faulty units, it means it can be fixed, so I don't have to spend a few months getting my money back and find another phone to buy.
