Hi,
Today gone my A2DP Stereo Headset and now I need to buy something instead. I prefer something like my old Jabra bt8010 which was hanged on my ears without any clips (as is in new jabra models).
Could someone suggest me something what will be working with HTC HD2
TIA
I have the Plantronics BackBeat 903 headset, which works very well with the HD2, and will use the same micro-USB charger.

I picked one of these up when it was called the "Altec Lansing Backbeat 903."
Regardless - I can recommend it but I've found that the bluetooth connection isn't as stable/strong as with my previous phone (HTC Touch Pro) when the phone is in my pocket.
yea the signal isnt strong doesnt give me the 10m it should without breaking up. I use the senheiser px210 not cheep but sound is amaizing aptx ready bought the apt x dongle but dont need it as they sound very good work very well with audio and video no sync issues while whatching video

OI have tested many and they are all different. My favorite is the LG HBM-570. It is not A2DP, but has the best sound, and accesses the contacts to announce the caller. Since MS Voice Command doesn't seem to work --- Anybody get VC to announce the caller in the bluetooth??? ---- BlueAnt Q-1 will announce, but you have to update the headset manually, and you have to listen to an annoying phrase every time you want to voice dial.
And at last I have bought another one Jabra BT8010.

Ok, I need to get a replacement headset for my Imate pda2k.
I have 4 count em 4 that I have either purchased or had sent to me. NONE are for the pda2k. They all look like they would fit my old MDA II (which was stolen).
Where oh where can I get the headset that plugs into the top of my PDA2k?
Brian
I actually want to know if there is a better headset for PDA2k. The standard one that comes with the phone is crappy, the earplugs fall out.
Bluetooth is crap because only mono. If only my Shure E2c in-ear phones came in a headset version.
Maybe this can help you? It's something I use with my Shure e3c's and it works great with my XDA IIs
https://www.seidio-europe.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=HARSOVXDA3-SL
In the States you can buy them on evey street corner almost, I myself use This Jabra I bought it for my Moto v 551 but it works great on my SX66, and it works very well with MS Voice Command
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

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.

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

Have you guys eventually found a fix with the skipping issue?
I'm having this issue since I upgraded to 6.1. It was fine with previous Shap's 6.0 ROM.
Thanks.
Okay, I'm not trying to reinvent the will. I'm curious thought, what are some good compatible bluetooth headsets for HTC TC? What are the bad ones? ....using Murato Radio and Original Rom!!!! Or any other radio/Rom combo!
I have seen a post on headsets/stereo music/phone thread. But not one with a specific list of compatible headsets.
I'm asking because I'm trying to figure out if my brand new (one week old) device have a bad bluetooth problem or do I need another headset. Currently using Plantronics Voyager 510, and I cant go 3 feet without it getting choppy and static, sound quality is f**k*d up!!!!
So I will post first: Plantronics Voyager 510 ....NOPE!!
Just be sure and purchase from a place that allows returns if you're not happy with them. Find some you like on your own.

Jabra JX10 Series II: Works well
I love my Jabra BT620S
well i have a Plantronics Voyager 510 and have been using it first with Artemis and now with Polaris and i have to say its THE BEST heatset i have ever used (and there have been many!)
good up to 15m and sound perfect.... you have something wrong either with the headset you have or your Polaris
I'm currently using Philips SHB9000. At first signt, it pairs but no headset icons on the top bar (which means all the sound goes through the speakerphone).
Using BTAudio, sound gets redirected to the headset (still no headset icon) but quality is awful, using HomeScreen PlusPlus UI A2DP option the icon appears and sound is incredibly good.
I was using Murata radio/udK R8 when I bought it one week ago. Changing radio or ROM did not change anything so either it is OS or headset related.
Regarding your choppy sound, try this method (especially for Plantronics Voyager 510) : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2533699&postcount=13, this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2533699&postcount=14 and this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1317007&postcount=18

Thanks for the resource everyone. I appreciate the response and the help.
I purchased the Plantronics Discovery 655, and guess what? The exact same thing is happening. I still get choppy reception at times.
though I have noticed it is slightly better then the previous headset. And people who I'm tallking to say that I sound alot more clearer.
My conclusion, now, my phone has a bad radio. Either the bluetooth hardware is jacked...or my radio is horrible.
What do you guys think?
BTW i purchased it from a website and I didnt get any warranty on it.
So I called HTC and complained about my bluetooth connection. The lady (valerie) told me that as long as it works, they are not interested in the quality of the connection. After complaining a little more, I ended with the conclusion that I have to test alot of headsets until I find the right one. So to add to this thread:
Good connection will be defined as, "clear crispy hearing on both ends, no static and choppy sounds, and the ability to walk away at most 6 feet (maybe 3 meters) from the phone and still maintain sound quality connection with the phone: Good connection".
So those who have post already with their headset, can you repost to determine if you have "Good connection". My only purpose for this is to purchase this time the "right" headset instead of numerous returns to the store to find the perfect one.
Jabra JX10 series II
Jabra BT6210S
Phillip SHB9000
Do all of these fit the Good Connection definition?
Thanks for all who have post. I truly appreciate your help. You are helping me save money and time!!!!
Yes, JX10 series II: Good connection (FYI, not sure about the series I, as there are some firmware changes that happened.)
I think I can say that Phillip SHB9000 has out-of-the-box a fairly good connection (did not test the 3 meters test yet and had natively choppy sound before the registry modification) with my TC.
After the reg modification it has a good connection (still did not checked the 3 meters connection but I never get disconnected), but it can't be compared to the 2 Jabras at it is really dedicated to listening to music (covers almost all your ears). It is the first time I'm buying that type of headset and it is really a different world than usual headsets (intra auricular or in-ear). The sound is clear and all details are present.
The only drawback compared to the other is obviously the size...
BTW, disconnection problem with Jabra headsets could be solved by HTC official Bluetooth fixes (as one has been especially made for them) and BT disconnection is also relying to the ROM version.

Jabra BT8040
I use the Jabra BT8040. It has as major advantage that it not only supports the handsfree profile, but also wireless 'stereo' (A2DP), so I'm able to listen to music on the headset too.
thanks muyz
after applying the patches from HTC's website, my Jabra BT500 works pretty good. the issues before were addressed and it works fine now as a hands free in the car headset.
i have tested it while walking and talking and something strange i've never encountered: crackling noise. it's as if i was on a wired set with bad wires. as soon as i stop moving, the connection is back to normal. strange. this is why i said it's great for in car connection since the phone and your head will stay relatively static.
looking for a new headset myself actually.
Hi,
I'm using the Jabra BT3030 which also support A2DP for my music listening. After I applied the bluetooth fix from the htc website it's working flawlessly, with no loss of connection as it did before the patch. Very happy with it.
what does the Jabra BT3030 look like? Is it jus the dog tag thing...or is it also wired or wireless plugins? Can you take a quick pic and upload?
Thanks
I tried looking online and I only see the tag piece...is that it?
i'm using Jabra BT620s - work's perfect
i had just some break's in stereo while running in traffic (maybe caused by other BT devices from cars?) - so I changed A2DP setting in SKTools and now it's perfect
strongly recomend
slightly off topic, but what are the registry hacks people keep mentioning
I have 8 cruises for my company's engineers and all of them are moaning about the carkit connections. We have applied the hot fixes and they are still generally rubbish
a selection of the carkits ;
nokia ck 7w
motorola HF 850
focus c-max bluetooth in car
Auidi bluetooth in car
various jabra headsets
motorola HS 800
Keeps cutting out. poor/ tinny sounding, mine (Moto hf 850) makes outgoing calls ok (sometimes) but takes about 15 seconds to hear voice of othter caller on incoming

Anyone ? this phone is pants, great pda tho
…and for the HBH-DS980 ?
I have a Jabra X10 Serie II, but I want a HBH-DS980.
Is there someone who know if it works with Polaris ?
I mean, every function of the headset [playlist, list contacts, etc…].
Thanks for your feedback.
It doesn't work fully with anything, its pants !
and even when it does work fully ... it stops working when it feels like it !

Hi,
Since Flyer can be rooted already and that phone call can finally be made, I have some questions with regards to bluetooth headsets for those who have used it already
1. How long can the Flyer last with bluetooth on always so that it can be ready to be paired with the headset?
2. Is there any app that can be downloaded such that it can automatically on the bluetooth on the flyer when a call is received?
3. Has anyone tried any a2dp bluetooth headsets that are compatible with HTC flyer?
I saw a samsung hm3700 bluetooth headset which allows interchange of mono and stereo earpiece and wondering if it is supported by htc flyer.
Thanks!!
3. I use a pair of Sony DR-bt101 headphones. A2dp with a built in mic. Works with Skype, so should work with whatever other dialer you are using.
Battery life will vary from device to device based on what apps are in the background and overall use. In my case, listening to Pandora over the aforementioned headphones with screen off and bt and wifi on, I get on average 5-6 hours continuous streaming before I need to recharge. Not the best example, but closest I have.
My Samsung hm3500 works with it. I haven't used them in phone call yet, but I would assume they will be just fine. They are a2dp with the stereo ear buds. I used them the other day listening to music while I built a bed. The headset ran out of juice at about five hours and my view had around half it's battery still left. I plugged in a regular set of ear phones and finished out the day with my battery still in the green.
wow cool that seems promising thanks alot!!
Just wanna share
I found this app called automatic Bluetooth toggle it can be configured to on the Bluetooth when a call is made and off the Bluetooth when the call end, tried and tested it and it works!
Sent from my HTC Flyer P510e
recently just bought the sony MW600 headset.. It work great with my HTC flyer and iphone. I can pair the 2 devices and can switch between them . cool...
Thought to share it here.

I can confirm that the HM3700 works fine with the Flyer.
I've not been successful using it as a mic but it can be used to listen to media at this point in time.
I just received a pair of Motorola S805 Headphones. The Flyer paired fine and works well for making and receiving calls, but for some reason the A2DP profile doesn't seem to be working. I'm not sure if it's an issue with the Flyer or the headphones, but I use A2DP from my Flyer with my Xcarlink to play audio through my car stereo no problem. I'll let you know if I manage to resolve this.
I had a bit of progress with a wired headset. I loaded the voipcheap application was able to make a call with both channels working.
Next step will be to try that with BT

Does that not suggest that there is an issue with A2DP on your headset?
I have these JayBird Freedoms and they are pretty dope. I've used them on Skpe , on my SpeakToIt Assistant app, the built in Android speech commands as well as listen to music and watch videos.
They sound great; plenty loud and definitely clear and the mic works awesome given that the mic is on the ear bud itself
I , personally, don't like carrying around bulky headphones. I walk around the office with these blasting music and dont feel weird LOL

Well I tried a Voip call today with BT.
Call rings but as soon as the call is answered sound drops.
BT works perfectly watching movies or listening to music.
I'm not sure how some people say it works in a call because even HTC confirm this is a known problem?
Can anybody explain?
