I'm planning on buying a stereo BT headset.
Based on the use I'm planinng and my personal taste, etc. I'm down to these two:
- Bluetake i-PHONO mini Bluetooth
http://www.theunwired.net/?itemid=2960
- Nokia HS-12W
http://www.theunwired.net/?itemid=2986
Now I can't decide myself. I can't test it cause they're not available locally yet. Price is similar.
I guess Nokia is more versatile, has radio, LCD that can be fully used in the future (new ROM's?)
But the concept of Bluetake is great also. Don't know if it's a bit bulky.
I'm more on the Nokia side right now.
Can you people with wizards (and cousins) give me some insight about those two options, maybe some detail makes me decide....
Txs!

Hi format,
I own the iPhono mini 450Rx and I tell you the sound quality is simply fantastic when combined with the right software player on my QTEK 9000. FI, I'm using the free GSPlayer which comes with effects like an equalizer, 3D, Surround, Bass Boost, preamp, Reverb and Echo etc etc. Conduits Pocket Player is another great software player with many effects too.
IMO, the most important thing in choosing a stereo bt headset is the sound quality. Features come second.
iPhono mini 450Rx comes with great sound quality although its other features may not be as good as its competitor like its shorter battery life compared to ANYCOM's stereo bt headset.
Have not tested the Nokia one so no comment.
Thanks FOSA,
I don't konw where to buy the bluetake so it could be a problem with warranty. I only see it selling on ebay (USA) not on europe nor any other ebay.
Also I whish I could see a bluetake, live. Nokia has a more regular headphone look except the case that has a good metal look (although it's another item to carry....)
Are there any sinle earphone headset like those for NOKIA, MOTOROLA, ETc.?
Does HTC or any other company make them. I would love to have one with integrated microphone and single earbud. It frees up my other ear while doing other work.
Can go with Bluetooth, there are many options.
or you can buy the adapter on ebay (or elsewhere) that allows you to plug in a 1/8" standard item. Posted many times, here's one from this forum: Linkage
Or you could just not use one of the earpieces on the included stereo set and have it dangling down your neck.
BTW, I'm not fond of the bluetooth 'look', but, I'm happy with the performance of my plantronics 510. I think it was $3x on sale at amazon at the time.
Hi,
Is there any accessibility app/option to convert stereo to mono on an Android phone. A friend would like an Android phopne but cannot find if this is possible.
Apparently the iPhone has the option in accesibility settings but he'd like to avoid iPhones if possible! Hardware/Headphones were not up to scratch when he tried them.
Thanks
Phil
I'd connect the L and R channels on the jack itself. Like solder them together... or if i had headphones like SHURE i'd use a cable...

I suggested an adapter, but he said he found them poor compared to the iPhone SW solution.
Adaptors are normally pretty useless
As a fellow member of society not blessed with stereo hearing I have been trying to find solutions for this over the years.
Most adaptors simply tie the L and R together but this never seems to work quite right in that the sound from the missing ear is there but only just (Bohemian Rhapsody is just not the same) Really it needs something to actively mixdown the audio in the way.
Also there is the fashion horror of having a unsightly leads and lumps from it all dangling about the place.
The best solution I found so far is stereo bluetooth headsets (proper A2DP ones) and use 'Joint Stereo' if you can, it's still not perfect but does help on tracks with heavy stereo parts.
If anyone still is looking for a solution.
Goto www.scansound.com and check out their 1-Bud range, this is what I said in my above post of needing an active mixing solution.
I bought one of the Pro versions with the offset bud and bass speaker design and it's awesome stuff, aside from being able to hear everything the sound is far better than similarly priced big brand stuff.
I live in the UK and shipping was cheap and very quick, a mate of mine who recently lost hearing in one ear bought the same as me and the cheaper design for his other half to use at work and said the quality was not bad on those either.
One word, EPIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The sound quality is great. the rep came to my bestbuy store today in Houston, and we all got some. They come with 3 different ear buds with 3 different sizes. Bluetooth of course, plus the battery is extremely long. And they are sweet resistant, so they are great for working out. Plus the call quality isn't that bad either. Kinda of a pricey buy, but it has to be ther best bluetooth stereo headphones i've used. And working at bestbuy, i've had them all.

MOD, i posted in wrong thread, please move to accessories
I'm looking for a bluetooth headset for phone calls with following preferences:
Mono & fits well on ear, i.e. without headband.
Supports voice commands
Excellent background noise reduction
Auto-answers when placed on ear.
Comes with charging dock. (optional)
Budget is $75 or less.
It does not need to be good with music or movies. This is dedicated to phone calls.
EDIT: By noise reduction, I mean noise isolation, i.e. the ability of the microphone to focus on my voice and not other noises in the room.
I can tell you I bought the Amazon Buds thinking they'd be good for this. They are not. Microphone is far too sensitive. I've tried a bunch of Chinese One's and they also are pretty bad. I've just ordered the $50 newegg refurb of the Jabra 65t earbuds as the reviews say they are spectacular from a sound isolation - but wont know first hand until this weekend... And there's also the risk of getting duds and having to return. But if you find a set, please post on here.

[Update], rereading I see you ask for a mono.single ear, I've not got anything to add there. I was looking for dual earbuds. I'll leave my response in case it's useful to others in a similar situation. Sorry about that.
You should consider Plantronics Edge, or 3200. I had the 1st one, I have the 2nd one. Excellent sound quality. HD voice, Noise cancellation. Only windy environment doesn't isolate. If there is a place too crowded, still the person on the other side of line, hear you well.
I'm on a lot of calls for work, and the Jabra Stealth has been my go-to for years after trying many others. A huge plus is that it has a dedicated button that allows you to mute the call you're on, which is a huge feature for me.
EDIT: Jabra re-branded their products. The Stealth is now called the Talk 45: https://www.jabra.com/bluetooth-headsets/jabra-talk-45#/#100-99800900-02
