Greetings
I replaced my SE HBH-DS970 with an iClip R35 because I wanted to use my own earbuds (Shure). Now I find that when I use stereo Bluetooth on my TyTN with the iClip to listen to music, there is a very irritating high pitched noise, almost to say distortion that almost ruins the whole thing.
I don't get any skipping like I did with the SE headset (at least not when using the "high" quality registry setting).
Wondering if this is a TyTN or iClip issue...

Hi
I had the same problem with my blueant X5 stereo's as well. no skipping but high pitched distortion.
Its not the BT headphones, its the Hermes.
Luckily i returned mine and got my money back as there was no point having them.
Lets hope we can port the Widcomm bluetooth stack to the hermes.....as the M$ stack sucks...

Get Sleuths A2DP fix and use hermes tweaker and set A2DP to excellent. Works great with HBH-DS970.
Sigh, known problem on this headset unfortunately. There's another thread on this issue here.
Funny but the R35 works great with my prophet/etymotic combo. I use iplay as the media player. I have the bitpool at 51.
I replaced HTC ROM 1.18 with South African ROM 1.35 on my TyTN and noticed that sound quality played through i.Tech R35 worsen. Applying fit4cat Hermes Tweaker didn't help much (just enabled stereo). Is anybody else experiencing the same? Any suggestions how to solve this problem? I've tried to set bitpool to 51, this reduced the high pitch distorion but didn't eliminate it. So, can anybody propose a different solution?
RE: i.Tech Clip R35 stereo BT headset -depends on what headphones you're using
In addition to my previouse posting I want to add my recent obserbation. In my previouse posting I noticed that after I upgraded the ROM of my TyTN the quality of sound detiriorated. At that time I tested sound using regular replaced standard headsets that came along with R35. BUT after I replaced them with Etymotic earbuds the quality substantially improved. And what's more imposrtant I don't hear high pitched distortions anymore. I used bitpool 51. So for those who experience this problem with higр pitch distortion perhaps it's worth trying different headsets.
I saw MSI bluetooth player on the back of my iTech so I did a search and low and behold I found the following:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=262715
Sound quality is excellent although you have to use the player and it is very basic. The volume controls are the only ones supported in this altered version, the latest MSI release does handle pause, next and previous but it is limited to a 30 second play time for non-MSI devices. Look through the thread and you may spy a solution.

I recently bought a stereo headset, Plantronics 590A, and I wonder what the rest of you think of the sound quality in your headsets.
I sometimes experience a low hiss while playing music with a lot of high pitches, like a lot of cymbals, crashes and high hats etc ( = Metal! )
Music with mostly base sounds just fine.
I solved this to some degree by adjusting the high pitches in the equalizer.
What quality sound do you have using A2DP?
I experience the hissing using both WMP and Pocket Player 2.72. Is there some player that is better or worse for use with A2DP?
Noticed that the hissing is significantly lower if the volume on the pda is set as low as possible and the volume on the headset is turned up than set the other way around.
Also, shameless bump...
Yea I am trying my friends motorola ht820 and I notice the same thing you said. It is still there even at setting the hardware volume low, any way we can reduce it more? It seems the treble is high

I use GSPlayer and TCPMP, with itech R35
I don't notice such problem
I know this is common pocket/WM problem with some devices
I'm getting this problem also.
I raised a thread here http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=59333 to try and get my ideas out on the subject but I seem to have gotten to cold shoulder from the forum.
I've been doing a lot of my own testing but I cant decide if its 1)My phone (o2 xDA MiniS / Wizard / QTec 9100), 2)my headset (Motorola HT820) or 3)something to do with the bluetooth bandwidth/quality (Because when I use the external audio jack the sound is perfect).
Does anyone have an idea as to what the problem is?
Thanks all.
Plonka2000.
Experiencing ths same problem with Plantronics Pulsar 590A and S200 with AKU 3.2
I would say it could be due to bleutooth A2DP compression like it sounds like a bad/low bandwidth encoded file...
I'll test with an acer n311 if it is a2dp compatible ?!
could like to test with, for example, a SE K800i to see if it isn't the MS bluetooth stack...
Humm... I'll test with the 590A supplied bt audio adapter too tonight. If the sound's good, then we'll have to wait for some fixe on WM2005 :'(
tested with the Plantronics bt receiver, the sound quality is just vrey good.
So the problem is on the pda side..
Need to test with an other pda...
Yea, I am really disappointed with the sound quality of my Motorola HT820 that I got on ebay. Where did you guys purchase your headsets? I heard there were some fake ones on ebay, I don't know how they can forge it but it is a possibility.
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

Hi,
Has anybody tried using the Nokia HS-12W headset with their TyTN?
I'm trying to decide between the Nokia HS-12W and the Sony Ericsson HBH-DS970.
Can you scroll through your contacts and make a call without actually touching the TyTN i.e. just using the headset? I think this is possible with the DS970 but I don't know if this feature is supported by the HS-12W...
I'll mainly be using it as a headset rather than listening to MP3's so I'm more interested in that aspect.
All comments welcomed
Thanks,
Mark
just nudging this, as I would be interested, I understand that the Sony will pair with 2 devices at the same time, and the Nokia won't...
Which has the best headphones ?
thanks, Will
I have the Nokia headset and it's awsome. My only complaint is A2DP range which is limited to about 3 meters. Headset functions work just fine and there's full handoff support from A2DP and vice versa.
Contact scrolling isn't supported to my knowledge with this headset however.
I've just got the HBH-DS970 today and the sound quality is ok, although there does seem to be a drop out of noise every 15-20secs with my T Mobile TyTn which I got early Oct 06 so am just checking for registry tweaks of BT upgrades.
One point to make about the HTC Tytn it doesnt fully support BT 2.0, becuase it doesnt handle the EDR the Enhanced Data Rate which is the ability to transfer data faster although I've yet to find out if it will affect the other protocols in BT2.
I'm used to the Sennheiser CX 300 (basically they are same type of in ear canal headphones) becuase these are great for the gym as they dont absorb sweat, the in ear canal is also the cheapest form of noise cancelling headphones becuase its like sticking your fingers in your ears so it blocks out a fair amount of sound like crappy gym music or a fair amount of noise when on long haul so you dont have to look silly with ear plugs on the plane when sleeping!
In all I would say the ds970 is a little bass heavy which would suit most people because headphones dont have lots of bass normally, but actual quality is ok ie its not as good at the CX 300 which some Musicians use as monitor headphones.
BTW a good test is to turn the sound up, good amps dont emit a hissing sound when playing nothing, same goes for devices like this.
tricky911t, are the song titles shown in the headset display when used with the TyTN?
Just bought the HBH-DS970 BT and it is not quite soo good as I expected. There is background noice with voice and it sound like I'am in a can. Also when lissening to mp3 (A2DP) the sound is 85% good and some hack in the music every ca 30 sec.
EDIT: Works fine now thanks to fit4cat Hermes Tweaker v1.1a also read thread UTILITY: fit4cat Hermes Tweaker for HTC Hermes , Hermes_Registry Thanks BongoUser
I've tried BT with PC (A2DP) mp3 and that sounds great no problem at all. Tried also with old SE T630 phone without any problem only voice.
I found this
HBH-DS970 and Dell PDA (Axim X50v with WM5 and Widcomm drivers)
Next on the list is my PDA, a Dell Axim X50v upgraded with Windows Mobile 5.0. I had already downloaded and installed an upgraded Widcomm Bluetooth stack (1.7.1 build 3400) to replace the crappy Microsoft one. With this stack, the A2DP and Headset profiles worked fine! I was able to use the headset to make calls with Skype, and to listen to music with TCPMP. The remote control buttons on the headset didn't work (next/previous track), but this wasn't very surprising.

When reciving a call the TYTN does NOT ring only in BT earplug. Only with earplugs from BT in ear, I will be able to take incomming calls because of no sound.
EDIT: Solved, think it was Hermes Tweaker that fixed this.
When BT is connected with SE T630 phone the display on BT shows both number and name (swithing between) for incomming call. On TYTN only number is displayed.

I can't do that on my DS970.
DS970 has AVRCP

so with TYTN I can change song forward/back, pause, sound (2 modes one for voice and one for A2DP mp3) and loop songs.

No with and without the JET Extensions add on which incidentally only supports the Widcom BT so no good for Hermes as its a MS BT stack.
I've spent all day playing around with the various reg settings, and mp3 players and this is what I have found so far.
The DS 970 headphones emit a very high pitched whistle which you can notice most if you have the phone volume on low say 1st or 2nd notch, the volume on your audio player of choice on low and headphones on max., so logical thing to do is have the audio player on loud (but not so the music distorts) and the phone volume on loud with the headphones adjusted to suit although in periods of silence you can still hear the high pitched noise (could this a MS BT Stack problem?)
The Reg Settings, basically you can put any reg settings you like in your WM5 phone becuase like windows normally, if its not recognised windows will just ignore it, so I have been playing around with the various settings but in all instances I still get the odd drop out of noise.
Adjusting the BitPool to 80 gave me almost constant drop outs/stutters (however you want to describe them), I found 58 to be best quality which backs up what I read elsewhere, and obviously knocking the value down to 20 or 30 gave me crappy sound quality. To see the changes you only need to disable the BT in the comms manager you dont need to go through a soft reset.
I've tried the Min/MaxBitPool and Min/MaxSupportedBitPool (havent established which is the correct registry entry but have kept them both at the same value) and found Min for 14 and Max for 80 gave me same quality as the BitPool at 58. I suspect the Max figure of 80 is wishful thinking.
Didnt notice any difference with the SampleRate reg entry but changing UseJointStereo from 1 (default) to 0 did give me proper stereo at least it sounded better.
I even installed the Widcom BT (0.50) stack from the Axim site but couldnt get that to work as kept getting insufficient memory for driver or something like that.
Long and the short, I think if we have Widcomm BT on the Hermes we wouldnt have half the problems we are experiencing now like stutters/drop outs et al. Whether MS will address this problem in an update I dont know.
I'm gonna live with this for now becuase I dont like the ear bud headphones like those on Nokia or the HTC wired versions and I want something for the gym and I could get it to do voice tag dialling by pressing the mike but for my car I'm waiting for the MK6000 which should be out later this month provided I can get TT6 audio over a my car stereo when its playing a CD not a one or the other situ.
The best freebie Audio player I found so far was a freebie version of TCPMP (now CorePlayer) but I preferred the Pocket Player on a free 30day trial becuase I liked the UI better than the TCPMP even though it had slightly more features. At the end of the day most people are gonna want an equalizer and a good UI which Media Player doesnt give us.
Incidently even though the Pocket Player is supposed to support the AVRP stuff, becuase of the MS BT stack you wont get track names et al on to the 970 headphone display but as mentioned above thats all becuase of the MS implementation. MS are well known for implementing their stds even if established stds already exist.
I will wait to see what the HTC S100 is like when its released http://www.expansys.com/htc/p_htc_item.aspx?i=140285
I suspect HTC and MS will be working together to resolve the shortcomings of their stack namely the stutter or drop outs but if you look at the picture we can see straight away we wont be getting any message display from the device so perhaps MS wont be providing this facility any time in the near future.
If this is the case then our only options will be to get a Widcomm BT stack for the Hermes to give us proper AD2P but as the Hermes doesnt provide EDR on BT2 is this becuase of a hardware restriction or software restriction, if the latter could this be another MS BT restriction?
BTW if you live in the UK and bought your headphones or whatever over the phone or online you can use the Distance selling act to get a refund if the product doesnt meet your expectation amonst other things. This means in theory the supplier should not only refund you for the cost of the product, but also your shipping costs (both ways) and not charge any restocking fee.
So you dont have to be left out of pocket if the product hasnt lived up to expectation.
_If_ I get time over Xmas I might have a chance to look at whats involved in providing a Widcomm BT stack for the Hermes, but I have a whole heap of apps to knock out at the moment so it might be wishful thinking. Food for thought.
Edit:
I've been out this morning walking into town and gave it a field test!!! Well this beast should be tied down, becuase if you so much as walk fast, jog or run then you will have it flying around in next to no time if its loose outside of your clothing. When walking it was flying around bouncing off each of my shoulders and when I ran a little it cam close to having my eyes out a couple of times not to mention hitting me on the face. I have adjusted the length of the cord so that it should fly around less but it didnt help too much. If you were to put it inside a t shirt for example when running then your sweat will get into the device most likely through the power socket at the back of it.
So all in all.... I'm gonna send it back becuase its not functional for me. At least HTC S100 comes with a clip to attach it to some item of clothing and the nokia well I cant comment but if its not got a clip of some sort to attach it to clothing with then I can see that suffering from the same problem as the DS970.
I can see myself going for the HTC wired headset where its modded by cutting off the ear buds and putting in a 3.5m socket for the headphones and make do with a std BT headset until the carkit I'm after is out.

Same happens with my Nokia HS 12w... Bitpool was set to 48, but I'm not sure how the different volume levels (headphones/mediaplayer) were set. I wonder if the bitrate of the file has anything to do with it... (mine was encoded with Lame, with variable bitrate between 192 and 320 kbps).
I'll try the players mentioned here also, as Mediaplayer is hardly ideal.
I'd also like titles to show up on the display, but perhaps this will come in future versions (any thoughts?).

Hi everyone
I need help choosing between 2 bluetooth stereo headphones:
1) Sony Ericson HBH-DS970
-$60 CAD used from someone local (he claims it is not a fake)
2) Jabra BT8010
-about $110-140 CAD on eBay
I am having a hard time deciding between the two.
Are they both equally compatible with the Hermes? Which one has better sound quality when playing music?
Please help me decide or a different BT headphone that you think is better.
Thanks
I just tried out the SE DS970 and I was not impressed with the audio quality. there was no skipping because I used Sleuth's patch and I tried all the BT quality settings using the HTCtweak but the audio quality was poor compared to the OEM USB headphones. I am certain it was not a fake. Is that normal sound quality on the Hermes?
I hope someone can comment on this.
There are two threads with extensive discussion on the SE HBH-DS970 and also some on the Jabra 8010
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=299082
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=291926
Try these.
I personally use the SonyEricsson and am very happy with the quality. The bass is particularly good.
I have not tried the Sony, but looking at the comments and the ergonomy of the headphone, it may provide better bass than the BT8010.
The BT8010 sound is well balanced with good bass, but the reason I am using it is that it is flexible. it can convert from a headset to a headphone very easily.
When used as a headset, you can get A2DP sound in your ear including phone ring, Voice command and system sounds.
It has also a vibrate function so you can put it in your pocket and still get those phone calls.
No compatibility issue whatsoever with Hermes.
For best sound on the go I am using the superwifi5 with BT320s or simple cable adaptor cable as Sling Video has some trouble to keep up with WiFi and BT A2DP at the same time
I bought the Logitech FreePulse BT headphones about a year ago and have been in love with them ever since. The fit and design aren't that great, and it doesn't have buttons for changing the songs. However, all of this is made up for by the amazing sound quality.
I have been using them religiously ever since...with my laptop, desktop (with the provided receiver) and Touch Cruise.
I decided it was time to upgrade, and get something that had what these dont; buttons for changing the songs, a mic, and the ability to switch between calls and music; all with good sound quality.
A friend recommended the Motorola s9's. I tried them, and absolutely hated them. I loved the features that they had, and I loved how lightweight they were...but the sound quality was so bad -- it was tinny, no bass at all, crackly, and hollow...like something I would expect from a pair of headphones that come free with another product.
I returned those, and then purchased the Motorola HT820's on ebay. These were a bit heavier, but I liked the fit better. These also had the buttons for switching between songs, and had a mic for calls too. However, they suffered from the same issue as the s9 - absolute crap sound quality.
I have been checking out alot of different reviews for other products, and am stuck. People never seem to agree about anything, and the reviews are always mixed.
So, I'll ask you guys here at XDA..
What do you think the best quality BT headphones are, that also have a mic, and remote control buttons?
Are there any studio quality monitors like ultimate ears that use bluetooth a2dp / handsfree?
Thanks in advance for your posts...I hope I can find something decent
Has anyone experience with the motorola s705 soundpilot in combination with the touch cruise?
Jabra bt320s: imho this is the best; buyed from ebay.co.uk 1 month ago and no problems at all:

Ha, I thought I was the only one. The Logitech simply are amazing in terms of sound quality, bar none. I just wish they had the AVCRP and handsfree profiles and I could deal with the fit issues and the fact that its kinda bulky. Honestly, I can't say anything is better and I've tried many. Unless Sony has vamped up its game in the last 6 months, they don't compete at all...although maybe the SonyEriccson line is better (althought I got into A2DP to avoid tangled wires, so earbud form factors are not an option for me). I have high hopes for the Jabra BT8030 though and may pick them up one day as an addition to my current A2DP headphones. The BT8030 certainly looks like it has awesome sound.
I personally use Samsung SBH-170 mainly bc of their convenience and small size. The sound was better than everything else I had tried, but nowhere near the FreePulse. FYI the FreePulse is the only headset that you could turn the Bluetooth A2DP thoroughput/bandwith all the way up on the PC w/o any stuttering.
Thanks sonus, those samsungs look really nice
However, I have given up and am stuck with the freepulse for now..
All the ones i've tried from best buy \ circuit city suck compared to those, sound quality wise. I do agree that the fit is not the best, and others are way better, but since I'm a musician \ producer my main concern\priority in the end will always be sound quality.
I would try to order some online; but alot of places don't like people returning things and then they take a month to refund your card, etc. :-\
I saw some real good ones on ebay a couple weeks ago, but I forgot what they were called. They were labled as professional audio quality, so I'm gonna check into those for now I guess.
I still have a2dp issues with the freepulse + polaris tho..like lag, skips, weak signal, etc. Do you have the same problem sonus?
No, I don't have any serios A2DP problems, although maybe once every 15min I might get a skip. Have you tried editing the A2DP settings in the registry?
HKLM/SOFTWARE/Microsoft/Bluetooth/AD2P/Settings/BitPool
Reduce this value to lower the standard bitpool that is used the majority of the time
30-40: Medium audio quality
48: High audio quality
58: Excellent audio quality
HKLM/SOFTWARE/Microsoft/Bluetooth/AD2P/Settings/MaxSupportedBitPool (Default=64)
Reduce this value to lower the maximum bitpool that is used when your MP3 player encounters high bitrate songs. I'm guessing that since you are a musician and since you probably have high quality mp3s, this value might be your issue. Try lowering this before reducing the bitpool setting.
HKLM/SOFTWARE/Microsoft/Bluetooth/AD2P/Settings/UseJointStereo
0=Real Stereo
1=Joint Stereo
Turn your bluetooth off then on to make the changes take effect. Lower values will also give you better battery life, and reduce processor usage while a2dp is being used.
Thanks very much for the info..i changed both values to 50 and turned on true stereo (I can't believe joint stereo was enabled by default -- YUCK!) It seems to have helped..
I just listened to four songs in a row using core player and I only got 3 skips..believe it or not that is a big improvement
But the problem when coreplayer is playing and i press the power button it still skips for 2-3 seconds every time.
It's better, but I still am kind of suspicious because my laptop and desktop have 0 skips at all, no problems whatsoever...but i guess mobile devices are different sooo..yuh..I'm somewhat content now at least =]

It might be that HTC underclocks our devices when the power button has been pushed. So try a lower bitrate, experiment with a value like 45 or even 40 to see if the music quality is audibly degraded, you should get no skipping at that point.
yeah, it definately has something to do with the bluetooth settings too because when i have the audio adapter connected (Wired) to my car's aux i can push the power button all day long and no skips, and really no skips when playing songs at all in core player...maybe when a notification comes up but thats to be expected i guess
I bought this BT headset, works perfect with the TC and not expensive:

Now im using a motorola H3. It's really cool. Now i'm looking for a stereo one. Could you please tell me which type should i buy? BT 1.1,1.2,2.0?
V Three BTH-18
I bought the V Three BTH-18 Bluetooth Headset from expansys and I have to say that it's working very well. No problem pairing, answering or making calls with voice speed dial. Also it's very small!! (Mind you, I've not tested it with programs like coreplayer, etc, for music or movies...! I suppose I'm not interested in that feature)
And there's another one:

I don't know if anybody tried it. I have a choice now of getting Sony Ericsson DS980 or this new Sony bluetooth. Looking for a feedback about this device, but can't find it. Maybe someone can share his experience with this toy? Thanks!
I think these are the best I've ever heard
the Sony DR-BT22 they fit perfect on the ears sound quality is awsome ....I know that I have a Kaiser but stereo headsets work with all devices.
Peace

I bought I-tech Clip D Radio! Work awesomely!!!
BT2.0 if possible as that should theoretically support higher bitrates. The vast majority of stereo headphones are BT 1.2 however. For the most part newer 1.2 headphones will work just fine.
I have a Nokia BH-503. I think it's great (good sound, easy to use controls for music and calls, and very comfortable).
Only problem is that after I turn it off, when I turn it on, even though it reconnects in phone mode automatically, I have to manually reconnect for music. I think this is a problem with other headsets as well though.
