Hi all.
Shure will be releasing their new "I" series this week. Apparently they will have several models that will meld high quality stereo earbuds with a mic. Shure says that the single plug 2.5mm model will work with the Treo, but no mention of other 2.5mm devices.
Anyone care to comment on whether they will work on the Wizard? I hope so since I don't want to be relegated to using the stock headphones/mic that came with the device.
TIA!
Shure's response on I-Series
My email to them:
I own an i-mate JAM Windows Mobile Pocket PC which has a 2.5mm 4-conductor
headset jack. Will your Treo version of the I Series work with my phone,
and if not, is there an adapter I can purchase?
Their response:
The Treo version will not work with the PPC. Here is the adapter:
http://www.pocketpctechs.com/main~u...ccessories-Audio+Adapters~item~PPCPADPT14.htm[/url]
You will then use our I series DUAL connector version with the adapter giving you phone and stereo music with a flick of the switch through your PPC. If you then have a separate mp3 player you can then use the one side of the I series for music and then plug the phone side into your phone without the adapter to take a phone call. The above adapter gives you phone and stereo music or you can eliminate the adapter for just phone calls and free up the headphone jack for another device. Thanks!
Shure I Series with Treo Connector (i2cT, i3cT, i4cT)
The Shure I Series with the Treo connector works on my i-mate JAM.
Seidio sells an in-the-ear headset w/ mic. The same model number (BD3-H2ERNTR650-BK) is sold for use with
Palm Treo 650 / 700w
Audiovox SMT 5600
HP iPAQ hw6500 Series
i-mate Jam / SP3 / SP3i / PDA2
MDA II / Compact
O2 XDA II / IIi / II mini
Orange SPV C500 / M1000
Qtek 8010 / S100 / S110 / 2020 / 2020i
So I thought it was fairly safe to order the Shure i2cT for my JAM. As I said, they work. I even left myself a message on my home phone to test the mic. It works. And the sound is fantastic. I've sampled a little of everything and I am very impressed (Biggie Smalls, Cracker, Thievery Corporation, Miles Davis, Devin the Dude).
The only drawback is that there is no answer/end call button (there is a microphone mute switch and a volume control).
I'm not sure if your device is listed above (or a clone), but if so, I would imagine the Shure I Series with the Treo connector (i2cT, i3cT, i4cT) would work for you.
If there is no answer/end button, how do you answer calls?
If there is no answer/end button, how do you answer calls?
You have to use the buttons on the phone to answer/end calls. Some headsets have a button on the in-line mic that you can press to answer an incoming call, saving you from having to pull the phone from your pocket. The Shure I Series does not have this button.
I wonder if this one would work with the 8125?

MDash,
Here is the response I got from Shure:
Hi Stephanie,
Our I series will be compatible with your Wizard. However, there will be some limitations.
The single jack version we have for smartphones is only completely compatible with the Treo 700W and 650.
The dual jack version is the one that will work with your Wizard. It is a stereo headset that is designed to work with two different devices at once - a cell phone and an mp3 player.
You can use the headset with your phone and answer calls, text message, etc. All of it's functions. You will also be able to listen to music via your phone. BUT...Here is the limitation - the audio will only be able to work in a mono sound for both ears. So you will hear the music in both ears, but it won't be true stereo.
The other jack, which fits iPods and DVD/CD players, etc. will work just fine on every portable device. You can listen to your music and as soon as a call comes in you just switch the headset to your phone and talk.
Hope this clears things up for you.
Best Regards,
Kevin Blankenberber

I'm looking for a set of stereo earphones for my Cingular 8125 (HTC Wizard). I also want to be able to answer a phone call with them when a call comes in.

You say that yours sounds great, but that you just cannot answer a call with the button. Why is this rep giving me a different story. Do they just not have it together over there?
Well, I'm looking at getting some shure headphones to work with my Wizard and would really like for the sound to be stereo. I need to know if the Treo compatible version will produce stereo sound with a Wizard. The Shure site says the Treo version is Wizard compatible... If it is not then I might as well get the dual connector version and a 2.5-3.5mm adapter.
I dislike headphones not having a volume control so the standard shure E2C are not an option.
Shure i2C-t works, in stereo

I have the Sure i2C-t and it works great with my 8125 - no adapter - definitely gives stereo sound (Beatles songs are a good test for this) - the sound is awesome, and it works well for making and receiving calls also, except for having to push the buttons on the phone, as mentioned.

Hi all:
--
I was wondering which BT Stereo Headset [not headphones meaning I can make calls etc] you guys are using with your HTC Wizard or any A2DP device for that matter.
--
My criteria:
1) can be used well with my dopod 838
2) fits well [this is subjective]
3) doesn't move around when I turn my head
4) good battery performance
5) price is not much of an issue
--
I am looking at the following Headsets:
1) Motorola HT820
2) iPhono PLUS BT420Rx
3) iPhono mini BT450Rx
4) iTech S35
5) iTech R35
--
I put the iTech's at 4 and 5 because even if they are BT headsets they still have wires danggling about in other words they are psuedo-wireless .
--
So what are your thoughts about these headsets? Any other headsets I should be looking at? Personal experiences, Links to reviews and/or online shops are welcome. Thanks in advance
a teeny little bump, as i'm looking for one now. (lost the original wired headset)
still no replies... anyway just went around a famous mall here in manila and they don't have any stereo bt headsets! damn!

Was in a mall last night and was told by an okley sunglasses salesperson that they will have a sunglasses/stereo BT headset for music phones soon. Be about $225us I was also told if and when they do come out.
Grey
probably a variant of the RAZR wire also from Moto/Oakley [which was an MP3 + shades solution] the problem is I have glasses [thick ones at that... I dunno if the ones you are talking about will have prescription lenses
Wow thats a bit too expensive for something i'll probably loose or break...
After reading the reviews around a bit i finally decided to go with these:
http://www.bluetake.com/Products/BT450Rx.htm
I will let you guys know when i've formed an opinion about them
Samsung SBH-100 is real nice Bluetooth Stereo Headset
http://www.mobile-review.com/review/samsung-sbh100-en.shtml
^ those look nice
i'm waiting for something with in ear headphones or the ability to use them
this looks great coming from SE
http://www.sonyericsson.com/spg.jsp...1&template=pp4_1_1&zone=pp&lm=pp4_1&pid=10394
guy s quick quesiton, .....do other version have the ad2 profile, ...infortunelty i dont think my 8125 has that....at least without using a dongle the size of my phone. Any firmware enhancements to get that profile ????lol
I installed the latest rom (2.8?) and it should have that a2dp in it.
I should be receiving my iphones today so i will let you know if it works.
so the 8125 is compatable with the ad2 profile def let me knw that would be great damn these devices are great
Finally! just received the i-phono 450rx
It works! And might I say, quite beautifully too.
Very decent sound quality (playing music now) I'm test-wearing it now and it's still pretty comfortable after 2 hours use.
There is a very slight hiss, only audible when no sound is playing.
The phone-headset function is not fantastic but people can understand me and i understand them. So what more do i want?
Bought it for playing music anyway.
I'm not really sure what a 8125 is, but if it's a "HTC wizard-device" it should work with the latest rom.
edit:
I just saw this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=42569
its about a2dp and your 8125, you might get it to work without a rom ugrade
thanks man
How will I know when the A2DP update is availailable other than this site? Where are the updates usually found? I really am anxiously awaiting being able to purchase a good set of bt headphones for my 8125.

Can you advise whether the iPhono 450rx support voice dialling please?
TIA

Finally got my own stereo bt headsets. Got myself an iTech Blueband [it looks the same as the Sonorix and ANYCOM headsets] it works with the Qtek Test ROM although sometimes the music cuts in and out. Also it is not as comfortable [for my ears atleast]
Alternately I use a bluespoon ax2, and a jabra bt250v. love them both.

I have the 450rx and according to the manual there is no way to actually initiate the voice dialing from the headset itself. I havent got the manual with me atm but from memory it said something like: For voice dialing, you must initiate the voice dial function from the handset and then you can talk into the microphone to tell the phone / pda who to call etc.
So, technically it is sort of possible, but i would prefer not to have to press the voice dial button on the K-JAM as it sort of defeats the purpose of using the voice dial function. Even though i have only just got the 450rx (and can't use it as i-mate still hasn't released A2DP) i am already on the lookout for a stereo headset that has PROPER voice dial.
Cheers,
Chris
Hey people anyone had a look at a set of these for thier Hermes?? (look at bottom of the page)
I was walking through town today using the standard wired headphones and found it a bit of a hassle with the wire in ma pocket cluttering up space. On expansys they say soon to be released anyone been thinking of buying a set??
Alternate BT 2.0 A2DP Plantronics Pulsar 260 cans
These are also interesting dangly headphones:
http://www.expansys.com/product.asp?code=139855 @ £47
The Pulsar 260 is a "pod" that connects to your musicphone over Bluetooth A2DP to provide stereo audio. A set of wired earbuds, with an inline mic, connect to the Pulsar 260 itself, where you'll find controls for track skipping and volume (which operate on the Audio/Video Remote Control Profile).
When a call comes in, the music stream is put on pause automatically - the user can take the call by pressing the button on the mic.
This control unit sporting Bluetooth 2.0 is for more discerning users with MP3-playing phones demanding high quality stereo earbuds and remote facilities for volume control and track selection.

@mrvanx: That headset looks just like the Itech S35 Clip available now in the UK I believe. Interestingly, the Itech is one of two stereo headsets known to work well with the TyTN.
That would be great, people wouldn't need a headphone Mini USB Adapter, althogh i know bluetooth stereo would be draining your battery more than usual, you can use this device and even use your own headphones (it looks like you can plug in any headphones), so if you have a dedicated pair of Shure e3c...... awesome.
Consider the R35, also from i-tech. Adds control buttons (although pause/play) don't seem to work with tytn - forward, backwards, and volume up and down do though).
I *really* like it.

Hi!
Any recommendations regarding the Plantronics Pulsar 260?
Thanx!
i have Jabra 620s (Bluetooth, stereo), working good on 1.34 Rom.
I am about to take delivery of a pair of Sony Ericsson HBH-DS970 Bluetooth 2.0 stereo headphones with multipoint that should allow me to switch easily from Media Player to the phone, and hopefully also from my PC (eg Skype) to my Hermes. Question: I have been reading your posts on A2DP hacks, etc., with interest, but I was wondering if the latest HTC ROM had solved most of the problems or whether I still needed to do some tweaks to get good stereo performance.
performance is good (not great) you will still get a one second skip every 30-40 seconds.
SE HBH DS970 vs Nokia H-12W
Has anybody tried both SE and Nokia A2DP headphones? How would you compare the?
Thanks

The skip is a real drag. Any word when there will be a fix for this, if ever?
WOW didnt notice this thread had taken off!
Im really wanting something like the HTC bluetooth stereo clip, as i can use decent headphones with the TyTN untethered.
Is there anything out yet that can do the Audio/video remote functions with A2DP??? if so where cos im out of ideas and effort tonight

I'm having this issue since I upgraded to 6.1. It was fine with previous Shap's 6.0 ROM.
Thanks.
Well my wired headset decided to stop working today! Not really interested in buying a bluetooth headset so can any body recommend a good audio quality wired headset with a mic so i can still make calls?
Unbelievable! I came here to post almost exactly the same message. I too am looking for wired headset (with mic) recommendations. Anyone?
guys im after finding out the wiring n connections inside the mic/button/volume unit. Are you electronicly minded and would take em apart and do a diagram for me. if not where are you and would you be up for sending them to me. I can then post this info on here.
Ive come to the conclusion that bluetooth cant do what i need to need to work with wired units.

I like the wired one that came with my phone. I'll look for a link but I picked up one last time I was in Taipei...

If you have a TMobile store or Cingular Store around they might just give you a wired headset from the display box...I think that most people "throw" them away and go for the BT headsets.
Just another random thought.

After much research and experimentation, I finally found and acquired the Shure i2c-T, which is promoted for the Treo 650 but works perfectly with my 8125 - very well-made, thick cable, monster dual-speaker in-the-ear speakers - VoiceCommand works fine with this - I am very pleased with this set. I found it for under $100 by shopoing around online.
Hi!
Is there a headset-Adapter with Micro-Support available (2x 3,5mm Connectors, one for speaker, one for micro) available? I do not want do solder.
Another question:
I have an old Siemens Bluetooth-Headset. Its working fine with the integrated Phone-Application but not with Skype, SJPhone, MediaPlayer,...
Any solution available?
Regards,
Johannes

I dont understand your question. The hermes comes with a wired headset. Besides, the headset connector is not a standard jack. so you have to solder anyway.
Ok, one more try.
i am not happy with the original headset. I have a great sennheiser Headset (for the pc with 2x 3,5mm jack) and i want to use this headset with my TyTN.
There are adapters on the market with one 3,5mm connector (for speakers) so maybe there is also an adapter with 2x connectors available to use also the micro.

I got a mini USB to mini headset adaptor for my wife's RAZR and it works well on the RAZR. I haven't tried it on my Cingular 8525 yet, but I'm guessing it will work fine. I got it off of eBay for a few bucks.
The headset that comes with the unit is actually pretty nice. It has the wires to deal with, but it has decent quality and nobody has complained about my voice being underwater or sounding like a speakerphone when I talk on it.
I also use the default headset to listen to MP3's using Windows Media Player (stored on the 1GB micro SD card). The music comes through fine in stereo, and when the phone rings, WMP auto-pauses and the headset starts working in phone mode, taking the mono signal and splitting it to both ears. And when I hang up from the phone call, my song resumes right where it was paused without me having to hit PLAY.

Good idea, Music Man!
I found it for just $7 with free shipping - http://www.emtcompany.com/products/adapters/cnyv3to3-motorola-razr-v3-to-35mm-headphone-adaptor.htm
Just ordered, don't know if will work with the Hermes (my 8525) but I figure why wouldn't it...
It will not work because the Hermes and Trinity use a strange hybrid connector with extra pins for the headset.
Look at this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=280439
Yeah, I actually tried the RAZR adapter at the local Cingular store on my TyTN. And it does NOT work.

Hi, I have bought it last week and confirm it is working great!
Great stuff. Thanks for the confirmation.
The Martin Field (http://www.doml.com.sg/productdec.as..._dash&pid=2698) sure looks to me like an adapter for stereo headphones (no microphone) with 3.5 mm jack. The following looks like a an adapter for a mono headset (microphone and single earphone) with a 2.5 mm jack:
http://igonemobile.com/products/html/61315310.html
I haven't tried it, but am considering.
Thought of Bluetooth headphones?
On top of having a Jabra bluetooth for use in the car and other places, I just purchased two Jabra BT620 Bluetooth Stereo Headsets from Amazon (only $37 a piece) for my wife and I. These are rechargeable and stereo via bluetooth! The cool part is that they also have a built-in microphone so if I get a phone call and I accept the call (either via a headset button on the headset or via the phone, the music automatically stops and the phone can be answered. It's kind of weird to hear a phone call in stereo, but both the speakers and mic works great!
Of course, all the controls for listening to music are there ... play & pause, fast forward/backward ... volume ... answer call ... etc.
We even purchased a small bluetooth adapter so she can use her headset with her iPOD too (I use my phone as my all purpose device, including a MP3 player).
Anyways, these are fantastic for the price. Sure, the Motorola version of these are sweet, but at over twice the price, I'd expect it to be that way!
I hope this helps!
