I have been searching for a headset with the following specifications, so far to no avail:
Must Have: Bluetooth 2.0, Multipoint (has to support at least two devices with Bluetooth Headset profile unlike the SonyEricsson HBH-DS970 -- see note below) so that I can pair the headset simultaneously with my Hermes and my laptop and switch back and forth between mobile telephony on the Hermes and Skype or another VoIP app on my PC without having to disconnect the headset and pair it again each time.
Nice to have: Stereo with A2DP, Desktop charging cradle, built-in (digital?) FM radio
I tried the SonyEricsson HBH-DS970 which is billed as a multipoint Bluetooth 2.0 stereo headset, but while it is advertised as supporting pairing with up to 10 devices it will only allow pairing with one device in the Bluetooth Headset profile that supports phone functions with the microphone enabled. All of the other pairings can only be Audio Sink profiles for listening to music. I love the design of the headset with the neckstrap and the earbuds, but since for me listening to music comes second to being able to switch between the Hermes and the PC, I have returned the SE HBH-DS970 in the hope that something else will appear on the market soon. In any case the Hermes stereo Bluetooth still has some kinks in it (eg skips every 40-50 seconds), so I decided that it would not be worth getting a Bluetooth stereo headset until the next maintenance ROM for the Hermes fixed them.
Does anyone think that something like this will become available anytime soon or is there unlikely to be enough demand?
In my older pocket pc's using Windows 2003SE my headset played music/any recorded sound and recorded sound through the bluetooth headset mic but now in WM5 EDR bluetooth headset is needed and the mic does not record on the headset.
Was this deliberate by the developers to have us have to buy a new edr headset or just missed or necessary to improve bluetooth?
I miss using my bluetooth headset as a wireless mic and to listen to music. I could start and stop recording using button control as well. I uses resco audio recorder to record.
Is the a work around or radio rom upgrade that will allow this to be done?
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!

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?

I think u need to get headset with multipoint headset if u want keep in live the phone and the PC connection same time. like jabra BT8010 or BT320s.
I use Jabra 5020 (mono) and working fine for Voip and Phone same time.
I'm using a bluetooth 2.0 stereo headset with my HTC Herald. The problem is that when you press the function key on the headset for a second, it automatically calls the last number dialed. Is there a registry setting or something that can disable this feature in order to prevent making accidental calls?
Also, each time the headset connects, it doesn't automatically set as wireless stereo. I have tried the A2DP Toggle today screen plugin. Although it works, I'm still looking for a way to map the function to a hardware key, without taking up space on the today screen. Any help would be appreciated.
Which headset are you using?
I'm using a Clip II Mini. It's the one they sell on eBay that looks like a 2nd gen iPod Shuffle, and has a 3.5mm stereo jack. With my previous BT 1.2 headset, all I had to do was click one of the controls to activate wireless stereo mode.
BT headset help

'cause it only supports HFP and not AD2P (wireless stereo).
It even say on the Jabra BT135 site.
Try using the latest beta of BatteryStatus and the tray icon to manager the bluetooth functions. Solved all my problems. It makes it a 1 click operation. Just toggle A2DP and it automatically turns on Bluetooth and activates the "Stereo Headset" profile for my headset device.
BatterStatus Extended V. 1.05 Beta nightly build
Thread I used to discuss my issue
As for the auto dialing I haven't encountered it since installing and using the
A2DP toggle on BatteryStatus. Only conflicts I encounter are when I use Audio Manager and WMP and forget to close the process on 1 which is my own fault.
Good Luck
Does the Car Dock not work with a Bluetooth Earpieace or Speakerphone?
Of course the Motorola Car Dock works with a bluetooth earpiece and I can only assume it works with a BT speakerphone. I use my Atrix in the car dock with a Motorola H790 BT earpiece every day.
Why would you think otherwise? The car dock would be fairly useless, if it didn't work with BT devices in your car....
Because when I uae it through google navagation no commands go through the bluetooth I don't hear anything at all

While I don't have my car dock just yet, I think your issue may be with your headset. Do you happen to know the brand and model of your headset? If your Bluetooth headset is not "A2DP" compatible then you will not be able to stream music or navigation directions through it.
From Wikipedia:
"Advanced Audio Distribution Profile (A2DP)
This profile defines how high quality audio (stereo or mono) can be streamed from one device to another over a Bluetooth connection.[1] For example, music can be streamed from a mobile phone to a wireless headset or car audio or from a laptop/desktop to a wireless headset.
A2DP was initially used in conjunction with an intermediate Bluetooth transceiver that connects to a standard audio output jack, encodes the incoming audio to a Bluetooth-friendly format, and sends the signal wirelessly to Bluetooth headphones that decode and play the audio. Bluetooth headphones, especially the more advanced models, often come with a microphone and support for the Headset (HSP), Hands-Free (HFP) and Audio/Video Remote Control (AVRCP) profiles.
A2DP is designed to transfer a uni-directional 2-channel stereo audio stream, like music from an MP3 player, to a headset or car radio.[2] This profile relies on AVDTP and GAVDP. It includes mandatory support for the low-complexity SBC codec (not to be confused with Bluetooth's voice-signal codecs such as CVSDM), and supports optionally: MPEG-1 , MPEG-2, MPEG-4, AAC, and ATRAC, and is extensible to support manufacturer-defined codecs, such as apt-X. Some Bluetooth stacks enforce the SCMS-T digital rights management (DRM) scheme. In these cases, it is impossible to connect certain A2DP headphones for high quality audio."
I am using it with a bt speakerphone, cruiser II and the navigate commands come through the cruiser or the audio if I have the fm on.
