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.
I see Motorola makes blue tooth stereo headphones. Has anyone tried to use these on the xoom?
Yeah,
They work just as good as they work with everything else with the xoom (which isn't bad but not that great either) My main complaint is they have swappable ear pieces that keep falling off.

PS. I am talking about the S9-HDs for the record.
I have a pair of the S305's and really enjoy them. They work with my G-tab (so im sure they work with the xoom) It's great not worrying about wires.
I have the S9-HD too...and it works great with the xoom.
I've got the s9. Sounds fine but too small for my head. They go around the back of the neck and keep getting pulled out of my ears. I really like the Jabra pendant. I think the model is BT3030.

I have the Jabra BT 3030 Dogtag pendant and it ROCKS!!!
The best part its that you can use your favorite ear buds with them.
My buds of choice the Klipsch S4's.
I also have the Altec Lansing Backbeat 906's, they are cool but don't sound nearly as good.

I've had these for 2 years or so, but holy **** I paid 80 total for the headphones, an extra battery, and a 3.5mm to bluetooth converter. Wow, 300 bucks now...
I've got the s9, I like them. It does talk some getting used to if you have been using the in ear ones as these seam to sit more on the ear than in them.
Another S305 user here and I love them. Sound is good, the fit works well over long hours of use from yard work to workouts, and the price is great.

I have the LG HBS-700's and love them and they are comfortable as all get out.
I have had S9's for a couple of years. Work fine with the Xoom.
I have the Sony Ericsson HBH-DS980 and they work great with the Xoom. The media controlls are great and work with the Xoom too. I like this headset since I can pair it with phone for headset use and the Xoom's audio at the same time.
I bought these from Best Buy for my Nexus One last year.. they work great on my N1 and Thunderbolt... haven't tired it on a Xoom but assume they would."

I also have the best buy rocketfish headset. Not very stylish, but they work well and are comfortable. My only caveat is that I experience some slight visual stutter when watching video while using them. Not sure if it is happening to others or if the headset is to blame, tho.

Love the LG phones...the best sound and great, wearable design.
Moto S10's confirmed to be working here as expected.
I have the S9 HD and they are just perfect!
My Sony DRBT50's just got here friday and they sound fantastic, plus they are extremely comfortable.
Hi all,
I'm using my tried and tested Nokia BH-500 Bluetooth Headset with my Shure EC2g in ear phones with excellent results for both Music and Video and all the functions work perfectly with it. Although it doesn't alter the volume on the Xoom it does have its own volume control which increases the volume available from whatever its attached to. The only thing it won't do is control anything but the in built music player if I try using it with Lithium Player it just launches the Xoom music player. For video playback I'm using VPlayer and it works fine for sound but no other controls work with it, I now no longer feel I need Lithium as the Music Player on the Xoom does a great job and I like the Album art view it gives and just don't really feel the need for the widget Lithium play gave me any longer.

ive had the dr-bt22a's for a long time now and they are awesome at work.
Hello,
I just wanted to start a thread about what types of bluetooth accessories Galaxy Note users such as myself use on a day to day basis. Bluetooth is an integral part of technology these days i just wanted to share what i have as of right now and what i plan to get in the future.
Currently, I have a Jawbone Era Silver Lining Bluetooth Headset and a Samsung HM5000 Bluetooth Pen Headset. I use my Jawbone Era whenever I'm driving, listening to music, and watching movies. I bought The HM5000 for those times when ear starts to feel sore from the Jawbone and the HM5000 just looks snazzy to use. (I'm currently trying to figure out a way to make a mold for a micro usb cap that can double as a capacitive stylus tip so i can use it as an actual pen, anybody knowledgeable in this pls let me know and thanks in advance)
I plan on purchasing the Sony Smartwatch and the Sony Wireless Headset Pro in the near future as soon as Sony gets off their butts and actually release the Wireless Headset Pro and not promise it will be released 30 days after CES.
Kindly share what ya'll got and what your opinions on the matter are for all those other bluetooth headsets out there.

I have a pair of Plantronics Backbeat 903+ headphones and love them. Great sound and great battery life.
Because they sit in your ear they can get a bit uncomfortable after a couple of hours.
The only thing I don't like is that there is a lot of latency with them (I didn't realise BT headphones would have so much latency when I got them) which makes playing music apps or games where your need your screen input to be in sync with what you hear not really viable. I use wired headphones in those situations.
I have a Buffalo BT mouse which is good.
I'm awaiting delivery of the Rii Mini keyboard. Should be any day now...
Sony Wireless Keypad
Sony Wireless Keypad also works.
1. Jaybird Freedom headphones. Closest thing to sweatproof I have been able to find for my workouts.
2. Motorola S-10HD. Nice sound and comfort but can't take the sweat like they claim
3. Samsung HS2000 earpiece. Cheap, reliable and comfortable but that Samsung specific app for speaking emails and such is crap.
4. Zephyr HxM Heart rate monitor. I run and bike and this lets me record my heart rate and strides with Endomondo or Sportstracket
5. OBDPros OBDII adapter. I can use the Torque app to monitor and communicate with my car ECU.
6. Microsoft comfort 5000 keyboard. Love my ergo bluetooth keyboard.
7. Microsoft bluetooth mouse 3000. It works, nothing special.
8. Apple magic mouse. Love it.
9. Various bluetooth to serial adapters for engineering nerd stuff.

Among the bluetooth accessories I have the one that I like the most is the nokia stereo headset http://reviews.cnet.com/headsets/nokia-bh-103-headset/4505-13831_7-33707311.html
Why I like it ?
- It connects automatically when ever i turn it on
-Turns off automatically after i turn the bluetooth in my phone off. This saves battery. Hence saving a lot of battery.
It lasts more than a week after a week of charging on a regular use.
Even if i dont use it for a few weeks it preserves battery well.
Have not seen such good performance in any other bluetooth device.
I'm using this bluetooth keyboard by Ednet and it's working great (including touchpad) with Gingerbread and ICS:
http://www.ednet-gmbh.de/?lang=en&page=1&cat=10,20,4&artnr=86270
I'm especially liking its medium size, as there are many "mini keyboards" out there that are *really* mini... ;-)
There's a German review at Tom's Hardware:
http://www.tomshardware.de/Ednet-Bluetooth-Touchpad-Keyboard,testberichte-240861.html
I connect mine all the time when I'm driving with my car's Blue & Me system, a collaboration between FIAT and Microsoft, based on the Windows Mobile for Automotive platform.
Voice call functions work great, but have not tried the SMS reader feature yet. This is a feature where the car will have the option to read incoming SMS out loud through the car's speakers. It works with a VERY limited number of phones.

Nokia J headset
Works effortlessly, holds a charge forever.
voice-guided set up and prompts ("Connected", "Call ended", etc.)
I have this clipped in my shirt pocket and take all calls on it. Activates, connects, and takes call in the time it takes to get it into my ear.

Wow! I was looking for a in-ear mono BT headset and somehow missed on the Nokia J.
Did some research on this headset. Looks very good. Thx for the tip!
skome, Are the aditional earbuds (the ones with hooks) also in-ear? Do you have any complains at all?
Does anybody know of a Bluetooth device where I can controll my music like the "s pebble"

The only bluetooth accessory I use on a daily basis is my MBW 150.
Love the thing. Bluetooth media controlling over AVRCP, vibrates on any notification I want it to, caller ID, shows who messaged and can read off the entire text if I want. AVRCP capability was the primary reason I got one, but I find it much much more useful than I initially thought I would.
I'll also add, hardly affects battery life on my Note. I never, ever turn bluetooth off.
The OLED screen is fading unfortunately, but the Pebble Watch is looking mighty promising so I'll be snatching one up as soon as it goes up for sale (missed getting a spot on Kickstarter).
7+ day battery life, e-Paper display, vibrates for notifications, media controls, and is totally customizable.
Looking right forward to it.

Right now you can get a MBW 150/200. Supports only that profile for media playback, so you have a media controller on your wrist.

No complaints. If I had to come up with one, it's that the buds are a little different from all the extras I have lying around. My spares tend to be a bit too loose.
I didn't get any buds with hooks, huh. I haven't needed them and I cycle to work, walk around a lot, etc. It's light and stays in my ear.

I use use and love the Nokia BH 214. It's a clip, controls music like the pebble. It has a mic on it so if a call comes in the music is paused and you can answer and talk normally.
I have some moderate-sized headphones it handles well. It's rechargeable and holds charges for days.
Availability? Nokia is not long for the world....
I promise no more Nokia ads!

Hi everybody,
I would like to buy a smartwatch to prepare a marathon. First, I looked to sport watches but I found them very expensive. Moreover, I want to use this device as a casual gadget.
I use ENDOMONDO for more than one year on Android and i love this app. Moreover, and it's a good news, ENDOMONDO is available on Android Wear.
I'm looking for a smartwatch that allows me to go running, biking, swimming (not necessary), walking,... without my phone. I will synchronize my data using bluetooth when i will be back at home. Also, I don't want to spend more than 200$ in this smartwatch.
I really like the design of the MOTO 360, its price and its native compatibility to ENDOMONDO. However, MOTO 360 doesn't integrate a GPS chipset. In the other hand, SONY SMARTWATCH 3 has a GPS chipset inside but the design isn't as well as the MOTO 360 for a similar price.
Which one can you advice me ?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Go with the sony watch. The battery and lack of water proofing on the 360 makes it not suitable for your needs.

Tanks for your answer.
Moreover, can you confirm that I need to bring my phone everytime with moto 360 ?
Yes, you will need to have your phone along with you if you need gps tracking. The moto 360 have a compass and gyroscope but not gps built in.
Thanks for these details. I've just bought the Sony watch at a very good price. I have just to run now...
Curious why you were interested in those two and not something like Garmin devices?
Hi cliffr39,
I looked for Garmin or Pulsar but I found these devices expensive for my personal use. I preferred a smart watch that I can use either during my trainings and as a casual watch (I mean a gadget).
Moreover, I wanted a device easy and user friendly to follow my stats on my endomondo app.
Hi guys,
This message to let you know my smartwatch 3 does the job. I can run without my phone, it's pleasant. The GPS is also fine (5 min to find the good location).
Next step will be to get deezer on the smartwatch...
Need help here.
I am trying to find a Bluetooth music headset that I can use together with my tablet and phone at the same time. I listen to music on my phone, but watch movies on my tablet, and will like to switch between them with as little effort as possible. This is further complicated by the fact that I actually have a android smartwatch as well, so turning off Bluetooth on my smart phone seems like a wrong step.
Have tried searching for multipoint devices but it seems to be all mono types.
Asking store assistants have also not been helpful as most of them has not even heard of this function at all.
I am not a audiophile so just reasonably well sounding buds will do quite well already.
