Headset for audio and making calls

What are people's opinions on BT (or indeed non-BT) headsets for the Universal?
Specific functions I'm looking for are:
Making/receiving calls (using the voice-calling thingy)
Playing music (and forward/back/etc functions)
I've tried the Bluetake 420EX but it keeps losing the BT pairing.
The Plantronics Pulsar 590A looks good...
What else have people tried that would work sufficiently with the Universal?
Cheers,
Ferg.

Almost all of these have forward back buttons...
Logitech makes a set...

Haven't tried any but would like to...

I bought these today:
http://www.sonorix.com/eng/product/product_obh0110.php
Initial impression: Build quality is good, fits well on my ears, uses the same charger as the HTC (mini-USB... so I only need to bring one charger !)
Pretty good so far.
It's charging now...
I'll write up a full review soon !

I'm very curious about how these work out for you.
Did you have to install the A2DP profile?

I don't know yet...
Isn't the A2DP not yet available for Jasjar ?
If it is, someone tell me about it so I can test it !

Thnaks inkaris, only most of these things don;t have a dongle or a microphone so wouldn't be much good for the Universal!
A2DP isn;t out for the HTC machines yet but apparently it might be coming soon... or something.
So the Sonorix thing comes with the 3.5" dongle? That might be worth a try then. Cheers.

No dongle, comes with a USB bluetooth, charging cable, the headphones, and a few other things.
It charges through USB which is great since I can bring one charging cable with me instead of two.
However, I tested it with my Jasjar today, and even though I have it paired with the Headset profile, I can't get Media Player to send music to it !
Help !!!

That's kind of what I was getting at Ikaris... the Jasjar has no compatible BT profiles. A2DP is what it needs to send stereo music to the headphones, which is why the JJ needs one with a dongle to plug into the 3.5" socket.
Just have to wait for the Plantronics Pulsar 590A to come out end of this month (or Orange to come up with a new ROM, which will probably be a loooong wait)
F.

Hey, I'm find with mono for now !
I just don't see why I can't get Media Player to work with Headset...
The phone works fine with HandsFree for phone calls...
and I've used HeatSet on my laptop to stream music through Bluetooth.
On other Pocket PCs, where do you set where Media Player will send its signal ? (i.e. speakers, bluetooth headset, bluetooth A2DP, etc...)
Thanks !

Remote Headphones for JASJAR?

No doubt JJ is the best device I have ever owned in my life and would be for some time.
Whenever I listen to the music in my XDA EXEC, I feel something lacking.
When I want to stop or pause or fastforward or go back, I have to open the phone & do it. Is there any accessory like Remote Headphones available? I have seen one iPod has and I am looking something similar to it. Or even something like "Nokia Display Headset HS-6".
Cheers,,,

I would suggest MOTOROLA HT820 w A2DP profile..
Motorola headphones are BT and ahve remote control for music playing.
Ciao!

Compatible headset ?

Hi, i'm lookink for a good quality headset with microphone and answer button (stereo or not) for my Orange SPV M600.
Do you know if there are other brands compatible with : Nokia, Motorola...
Thanx, Laurent.

Jabra BT 620s Stereo Headset, together with the last pocket player.
Take a view of these not expensive Headset and enjoy the life without cables.

I have the motorola stéréo headset and sound quality is good, and the micro for communication is really great.
I still have to test it with pocket player tho. With WMP no problem, I can even resume music after a call by pressing the play button

Motorola?
Hallo Cedrick! You didn´t tell us which Motorola headset you´r using?

music stereo bluetooth headset

Is there one, that works good with the universal ? Microphone is not required. I just want to listen to music without cables hanging around.

I use a BlueCon BlueBand around the house with my iPod, K800i, PC, and Universal, and out and about I use a Sony Ericsson DS970 but only with the K800i. I haven't actually tried it with the Universal yet.
BlueBand sounds nice, is very comfortable, but makes you look like a bit of a tit.

Jabra BT8010
Hello outthere
I bought a Jabra BT 8010 Headset (Stereo). Telefone calls go superbe. But the music doesn't work. I hear the music on the loadspeakers of the Qtek 9000 (Orange SPV M 5000), alt
ough connected to headset. Do I something wrong or ist it impossible to hear the Music with the headset.
I noticed, that in the bluetooth optins menu of the qtek, there is only a field to tick for "Freisprechen" (German: Speaking), but not for Music or so.
Can anyone help ??????

Stereo Bluetooth Headset

Is anyone using either Sony Ericsson HBH-DS970 or Nokia Wireless Stereo Headset HS-12W with Artemis? If so, how's the audio quality? Do you need to install extra software? Do all the buttons work? And do track titles show on the display?
Thanks!
Rick

Problems Solved
I just recently got my P3300 and a nice Sony Ericsson HBH-DS970. I had a lot of problems with the original Windows Mobile 5 at first. It recognized the unit as a2dp and I set the P3300 tu use a2dp functionality of the sony headphones. NADA! Nothing happened. I could just use it as regular hands-free. Then I found this site and first upgraded mu ROM to
PDAMobiz_Dopod_P800W_AKU301_v1.1.2_PowerMap.rar
I didn't like it because it was for Asian market, no localization etc. and some problems...
Then upgraded to
Tom_ART_v2.00.02_CB.rar
Brilliant!!!! Looks like WM6 and has a lot of new functionality +
working A2DP profile. Now the Sony Ericsson HBH-DS970 is working 100%. No bugs, no music while ringing or other problems. Just perfect!
The only disapointment - There is no Radio! In order to run the radio you must use the original hands-free. they say it is because it uses the wire as antena. I tried to hook both the Sony Ericsson HBH-DS970 and the original hands-free -> the sound coming only from the original. SORRY.
I read somewhere that the Nokia model has a built in Radio. So if you need the Radio go for the Nokia one. Though they say the sound from the Sony Ericsson HBH-DS970 is way better! If you prefer MP3's with better sound go for the Sony.
Hope this helps.

i use the nokia hs 12w and the sound quality is excellent.

Do you guys have enabled or disabled the registrykey "UseJointStereo"?
I'm using the HTC BHS100 Bluetooth together with a V-Moda Vibe. When I enable this key (value set to 1) I have superior sound quality but in jointstereo. When I disable this key (value set to 0) to achieve real stereo sound I hear a high pitch noise and the sound is far from superior but in real stereo. This really anoise (typo?) me alot and it doesn't matter whether I'm using the original earphones that comes with the bluetooth or the v-moda earphones or even my full sized dj headphones.
All in all i'm just looking for a wired solution to get the superior stereo sound but that is a problem too. Because a mini-usb to 3.5mm adapter doesn't disable the built-in speaker when listening to music (using an HTC Y cable)

Have you tried this update: http://www.europe.htc.com/support/software/htcp3300.html
HTC:
"HTC audio Drivers
Downloading and installing this driver update will provide your HTC mobile device with the latest available optimised software for use with the following accessories:
YC A120 Y-Cable adaptor
RC W100 Remote Controller
RC E100 Remote Controller"

Tried it just now but I get the message that I already have the latest drivers installed and then it ends the installation.
I'll try to put back the original rom and then install the driver to see if it makes any difference. That is if I'm able to put it back somehow (extended rom has original rom but hardreset still installs the modified rom).

Finally...after installing WM6, the device recognise the Y cable as a headset (registry automatically change value into 1) and now I can enjoy music in full stereo quality. WHOOHOO

Hi,
Is there any way to set the bluetooth stereo headset connection to default stereo? sorry about my english.
so If i connect may stereo headset to the phone the defaul is mono headset i have to go to bt settings and change the profile to stereo after that working fine, I can handle incoming calls etc. but I have to change the profile after reconection again. If I uncheck the headset and handsfree profiles then the stereo working fine but i cant handle the incoming calls from the haedset only with the phone.
so is there a solution to keep the default profile stereo and keep the other two profil in live?

it tries to you works in stereo

Quick question for anyone with a BT stereo headset - if i get a BT dongle, could i connect the headset to a PC and get voice comms via teamspeak to work? Assuming that the dongle and headset does all the A2DP and other profiles?
Basically I'm just trying to see if its feasible - It'd be nice to use the headset for music with the phone, then use it as a wireless headset for games and voice comms when at home.

Yes, and with VOIP & MSN etc. too. The headset appears in the audio properties box on windows or the app you are running.

Thanks -
Before i go and splash out on one - can you confirm a headset that will deliver quality stereo while using the mic
Virtually everywhere i've been, they say that as soon as you use the mic, it will drop down to 8khz mono for sound as it switches from A2DP to the headset one.
If you or anyone have a BT stereo headset, is there any chance you can play a normal 3D game and see if you can talk over teamspeak without it dropping to mono?
