bluetooth stereo earphones??? Do they exist?

Hi,
I really hate having to detangle my earphones everytime I want to listen to something on my Exec.
I was hoping anyone of you would know whether there are any bluetooth stereo earphones/earbuds (not headphones) that will work with the Exec for music?
I dont want the type where I have to plug in some sort of transmitter... I was hoping to use the built in bluetooth.
Any ideas?
Thanks,

Not sure if any exists becuase:
1. Where to put the transmitter?
2. Where to put the battery (if earbuds without wires, both should have batteries built in. this might be a problem)

Yes, bluetooth stereo headphones exist (the Motorola HT820, for instance). No they don't (currently) work with the JasJar.
We need to wait for a ROM upgrade which adds A2DP functionality. This is something that MicroSoft have nade available to the OEM's (i-mate, Q-Tek, O2, etc) but they're dragging their heels when it comes to actually releasing the upgraded ROMs.
Indeed, if i-mate support are to be believed, their imminent ROM upgrade will not include A2DP functionality, which probably means waiting another three months for the next round of ROMs....
Of course, I'm not at all annoyed that I have a useless pair of Bluetooth headphones.....especially considering the fact that other i-mate phones have A2DP already....... :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil:

HOT FROM THE PRESS!!!
Just read the press article from Sony Ericsson

And another one...

I have a set from HP that work OK with my ipaq and hacked blueangel rom. You need A2DP support on your device to be able to use them.
I got mine in New York from Compusa last May, Expansys sell them in the UK for about £60, as well as other models.

Actually Guys,
Back to the topic, the guy who started this post is looking for stereo bluetooth EARPHONES. not headphones like the HT820.
And also WITHOUT wires.... so he doesn't have to "detangle" them everytime.
Tall order. Anyone know of a WIRELESS EARPHONE/EARBUD STEREO bluetooth headst? I think that's what he was looking for.

well said!

IIRC nokia do some, and they're all over ebay al
ong with taiwanese 'tribute' versions ( it's not a copy, it's a tribute to the original....) - you get a dangly reciever bit to wear around your neck and earbuds into your ears.

The second point was NO WIRES so no "detangling" . Sony Erricson are also releasing a similar bluetooth thing, but both of them HAVE wires.
Close, 1 for 2.
Any 2 for 2 devices?

Smallest ones i know of are the iPhone Mini
http://www.bluetake.com/Products/BT450Rx.htm
They have 1 wire connecting the 2 together.

RE
Read the reviews of
Bluetake iPHONO Mini 450Rx (I'm using this)
http://tuxtops.com/node/489
and
Anycom Blue Stereo Headset BSH-100
http://tuxtops.com/node/464
Both are A2DP compatible

I had the same problem - My Sony EX71 earbuds were fantastic quality, but detangling was a pain in the ass. While I'd prefer earbuds too, and looked at those above first, I went for a pair of HT820's and don't regret it for a second. They're not earbuds of course, but are pretty goddamn stylish to use and the quality is lovely. They also use AVRCP for remote contol and have a mic so I can replace my bluetooth headset too.
EDIT: OK, so I'm a little like Princess Liea, but I'm secure enough in my sexuality to not care.

Hi,
I just bought this one: http://www.pdashop.nl/product/23366. Works fine with my MDA Pro. I use it in combination with PocketMusic Bundle. You can also skip tracks, pause/play music. The only thing is that it won't show the track title/artist. In the manual it says it reads the id tags, but not in my case. (Maybe it's an issue of PocketMusic).
It's also nice that it comes with a cord to hang it around your neck.

I just purchased this:

Doubles has a bluetooth stereo headset as well so I can take calls on it too. Looks very promising, I will post a report once I receive it. The seller has already sent me a tracking # so it should be here next week since he's in the same state as me.

I just returned mine. I can't seem to get it working without any problems. The quality of the sound just doesn't compare the sound of the standard headset.

what about this from Morgan's in UK? any good for a Tenner?
The mic is on the unit and you can use any 3.5mm earphones
not sure about control buttons though

I recently bought this bluetooth headphone for my Dopod 900. I think it is great, especially that you can use it on other non bluetooth device, such as your TV. Check this good product out.

Unless, I would like advice on purchasing new earphones with switch call/end telephone and control volume for my t-mobile mda pro, what are the best quality/price? thanks for any help you can give to me.

Perhaps (correct me if not) the iPhone's headset works also with the Universal.
http://img.tomshardware.com/us/2007...ed_iphone_headset/apple_and_rivet_earbuds.jpg

i'm not sure of this information, but i'm exigent and i want find the original sony earphone .... please can you give help???

hi, i am new to the universal world, and since i just received my device yesterday and unfortunately didn't read the ebay description right, i hardly have any original accessories. besides other things i don't have a hands-free. i've had my blueangel for 2 years and had similar issues there, because i wonder, for just listening to music, is the plug's layout the same as in a 2-contact one?
the blueangel's 2.5mm 3contact plug has a different layout, meaning, plugging in a simple 2contact adaptor from 2.5 to 3.5mm doesn't do the trick and you wouldn't be able to listen to music properly since one output channel is actually jammed in the microphone input channel. it is all messed up.
i hadn't had the chance to test it, but:
- does a normal 3.5mm stereo headphone work for listening only?
- do mini-usb-b headsets work on the universal, say... if you took the touch HD's
- do those from newer HTC devices support the extra buttons (PTT, play, skip...)
- does a 3 contact 3.5mm like the one (usually ) shipped with the universal support other button functions besides answering and holding a call, like ending call or voice command...
i would love to have those questions answered and like innuendo1973, i would like to know, what headset, hands-free... would be best for me (till now, still using my sim in the BA, so maybe a simple music headset would be enough, a usb one even better, if that works)
as i may recall, i do have a lot of experience when it comes to the bluangel, but this universal seems so much more complex and so different after all...
(Prepare for a lot of stupid questions when i first start upgrading it )

I will just get a extUSB to 3.5mm adaptor from HTC. Check it out here: http://www.expansys.com.hk/d.aspx?i=179131
The good thing about this is that you can use any headsets to answer calls as well as listen to music, especially listing to the radio.
Or if you want to you can also purchase a multi-function adaptor, which will enable you to listen to music or answer calls why charging the phone. So you can watch movies and not need to worry about running out of battery.
All for less than £25.

bluetooth speaker recommendations

i've been searching for a decent home solution for bluetooth/smartphone integration into a pretty simple hifi/multimedia setup (media pc feeding 5.1 speakers & tv through s-video).
there seems to be an abundance of low-end portable speaker solutions and the beautiful zikmu from parrot/s+arck which are around a grand (uk £1,000). ouch!
does anyone know of a bluetooth receiver with a 3.5mm jack-out or similar standard audio connects to supply a domestic amp/speaker system through aux-in?
the belkin bluetooth music receiver (just found) appears to fit the bill ... has anyone any experience with this topic? thoughts welcome - especially product recommendations & those to avoid!
thanks & apologies for not posting links to specific products but i'm not allowed as a noob

I have a Jawbone Jambox at work (I sell them actually, but we have one open for display).
I tried it today and it's amazing! A bit costly, but worth every cent. Great sound quality, great design (a given with Jawbone), and has a 3.5mm jack (though I think it's an input, not an output).
Some links for reference:

yes, i'm aware of the jambox but it looks rather small physically but all reviews state how powerful it is ... so, it'll need a demo before parting with the cash. i haven't seen a single poor review, which says something in itself i guess? & yes, the jack soclet is for non-bluetooth input.

Try it, you'll be amazed.

I was looking at the Jambox when I was researching BT speakers for myself... it was in my top 3 choices... but it was just so expensive. I ended up getting a Creative D100, which from the research I did, seemed to be the best for their price. They're a lot cheaper than the Jambox.
I have to say, I was amazed by how nice they sounded for their size. They aren't as portable as the jambox, but I'm happy with them.
They take AA batteries instead of a built-in lithium battery, which I prefer for a speaker that I hope will last several years, as lithium batteries start dying after 300 or so charges, and with AA batteries, it's easy to replace when they die.
It also can run off AC power, and has an aux in port to use with devices that don't have bluetooth.
Overall, I am very happy with the D100.

thx all, zarathustrax's suggestion does look a good affordable-portable solution but i'm primarily looking for a bluetooth feed into an existing hi-fi setup along the lines of the Belkin receiver mentioned initially.

You can always get one of those bluetooth "clips" that has a regular stereo audio-jack for speakers or headphones. It would do the same thing as the belkin receiver, but you can also use it for a handsfree headset for your phone and use it with stereo headphones. I've been looking at this one for a while... it has good reviews, and has a screen that shows caller id and song info (I think), and you can call people back directly from it without getting your phone out or control your music.... http://www.amazon.com/Sonorix-Bluet...phones/dp/B000V1UGZ2/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top
It's about the same price as the Belkin receiver and you can use it for a lot more.
That's my only suggestion for a receiver, but I've never used it, but it has a lot of good reviews on amazon. I'm not sure how it would compare to the Belkin receiver, but you can use it for a lot more.

I have the Sony Ericsson MBS200 and I'm pretty happy with out. It has lineout if you prefer to output it to a bigger more powerful speaker. It's also pretty cheap and sounds really good. And it runs in recharchable battery.

GS3 Car Stereo - Aux Input issue

Hello everyone,
I have noticed an issue with my s3 and thought I'd ask around. I tried connecting my phone with my cars stereo using an aux cable but every time I do that the sounds comes through the phones speakers. Plugging the cable in and out once gets the sound through the car but it again stops if I change the song or if I receive a notification even.
It doesn't seem to be an isolated instance since i saw another person face the exact same problem on another forum. I'm thinking that maybe my 2 contact aux cables might be to blame here, but really don't wanna buy a third one before getting some input. I also guess it can equally be a software or even a hardware issue.
So has anyone else noticed this?? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

i plug in to my car's aux jack all the time while using pandora and have had no problems.

what type of 3.5mm audio jack are you using, the really thick ones, or the thin ones? thick ones cause problems sometimes by not getting full contact(as the base is too big), had this issue with a new car stereo and my old g2.
basically, this is the one that's too thick, especially for aftermarket stereos:

To be honest the ones that i have ( both of them actually) appear to be too thick as compared to the OEM headphone's pin. Was the problem that you were facing similar to the one I am now i.e. sound starts playing sometimes and stops when u change the track ?

I have the same problem. Let me guess... you have to plug it in and out to make a call with earphones too?

Hey Zza1989, thanks for the reply. I havent made that many calls using the earphone, but when i tried it now it seemed to work ok. However the S3 seems to have a tough time detecting my cars stereo when plugged into it.
If you're facing the same issue with the aux, can i please know what car you are using it with. I replied on another forum where someone was facing the same issue and it turned out that we were both using the phones with Saab's. What about you ?

I'm actually using an aftermarket stereo by Sony. But I still get the same problem. I doubt it has anything to do with the car as the sane thing happens to me with my skull candy earphones ad well as my car stereo with aux connection. Only with the stock Samsung earphones provided with the phone does it work properly. And even then it's a little sketchy sometimes.

Ohh... So if you're facing issues with other headphones it might even be a hardware issue I guess. I think I'll send an email to Samsung support team and see if they respond or not :s

that's not the issue i had. the issue i had was that the sound was VERY distorted and low, but trying a smaller cable worked. try a smaller cable. they cost like 99 cents on monoprice, or amazon

Agreed. That's the only semi-major issue I've had with the phone so far. I hate to think what's going to happen when my earphones start to fail (I them extensively). I'll just have to buy new OEM earphones.
I would like to hear what kind of response you get for that email.

Boison PX6 Android 9.0 4+64GB Wifi Antenna

Hi
I recently bought a new Android head unit for my Renault Clio and have been going over a few things before i install and was surprised to see the wifi antenna is just a single wire that comes from one of the output plugs on the chassis. On all my previous head units there's been a gold RP-SMA type connector to attach an antenna to.
Heres the Unit I purchased: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1-Din-Autoradio-Android-9-0-Car-GPS-Stereo-Audio-10inch-4G-64G-HDMI-AUX-Wifi-OBD/183972485630?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649
My questions are;
Is this new single white wire (antenna) out the back of the units chassis enough to pick up a signal? & if not:
How do i go about modifying it? In my car i have two 'blade' type adhesive antennas in the A-pillars of the car which gave great wifi reception with my phone tethered in the glove box. I can't help but think this new unit may be a bit of a step down in wifi performance.
Could a possible solution be to connect (via one of the USB connectors) an RP-SMA type antenna like this but for Android, does such a thing exist as i don't want to fit a usb dongle since i have unlimited data on my phone.

*EDIT* Or could i solder a pig tail lead (like the one below) to the head units wifi antenna wire to make use of my existing blade antennas:
Thanks

WiFi antenna mod
eunavi head unit is the same as Bosion!
I disassembled my radio I eliminated single wire (useless) I soldered a pigtail (RP-SMA female ) on the mainboard and I inserted a small wifi antenna! now the wifi signal is much more powerful and I can finally connect the radio to the home wifi

Cheers, I ended up doing the same but soldering on an RP-SMA connector onto the end of the wireless cable that poked out the back. It worked a treat. Overall i'm very impressed with this unit compared to the Xtrons unit i have in my van, the only problem i'm having is no DAB without tethering my phone despite having a USB DAB module plugged in in the glove box.
Roger (UK)

Hi friend ?
it can also work as you did...
the antenna cable is composed of 2 cores of wires! the internal wire is the signal (on the radio it was that stupid wire)
then there is the ground cable to be connected on the radio chassis! you see my photo .... I soldered the pigtail cable on the motherboard!
my radio works fine but i don't use DAB i'm sorry! I noticed that my radio has problems mixing audio music and navigator .... you have the same problem?
thanks

Cheers PT i'll have another look at that, I've got a spare RP-SMA pigtail so may well open up the radio and go direct from the board like you have. The only problem i have is when i use poweramp it doesn't always shut the radio off so have to open another app to turn radio off that way. Other than that all good and for £130 can't really complain, my xtrons unit was just shy of £300 and is slower.

also i have the same problem with poweramp! i removed the application because i preferred old style apk which worked better in my old eonon head unit!
so you have no problem with audio management when using the gps navigator?
when I listen to music and use the navigator (iGo) the voice feels low and the music increases the volume! consequently I do not understand what to say the voice guide of the navigator!
my radio is the model with dsp (about 220 dollars)

Navigation wise i use google maps, it quietens the music momentarily when giving directions, you can change this in the settings to keep music up. I havent used the iGo software. So apart from the poweramp problem no other problems, i think i'll tey a different DAB module (got a couple spare) to sort that and maybe point all my music at the onboard player instead of poweramp.

can you take screenshots of your settings to keep music?
i can't ... maybe my firmware has a problem
Thanks
