Headset for audio and making calls

What are people's opinions on BT (or indeed non-BT) headsets for the Universal?
Specific functions I'm looking for are:
Making/receiving calls (using the voice-calling thingy)
Playing music (and forward/back/etc functions)
I've tried the Bluetake 420EX but it keeps losing the BT pairing.
The Plantronics Pulsar 590A looks good...
What else have people tried that would work sufficiently with the Universal?
Cheers,
Ferg.

Almost all of these have forward back buttons...

Haven't tried any but would like to...

I bought these today:
http://www.sonorix.com/eng/product/product_obh0110.php
Initial impression: Build quality is good, fits well on my ears, uses the same charger as the HTC (mini-USB... so I only need to bring one charger !)
Pretty good so far.
It's charging now...
I'll write up a full review soon !

I'm very curious about how these work out for you.
Did you have to install the A2DP profile?

I'm very curious about how these work out for you.
Did you have to install the A2DP profile?

I don't know yet...
Isn't the A2DP not yet available for Jasjar ?
If it is, someone tell me about it so I can test it !

Thnaks inkaris, only most of these things don;t have a dongle or a microphone so wouldn't be much good for the Universal!
A2DP isn;t out for the HTC machines yet but apparently it might be coming soon... or something.
So the Sonorix thing comes with the 3.5" dongle? That might be worth a try then. Cheers.
F.

No dongle, comes with a USB bluetooth, charging cable, the headphones, and a few other things.
It charges through USB which is great since I can bring one charging cable with me instead of two.
However, I tested it with my Jasjar today, and even though I have it paired with the Headset profile, I can't get Media Player to send music to it !
Help !!!

That's kind of what I was getting at Ikaris... the Jasjar has no compatible BT profiles. A2DP is what it needs to send stereo music to the headphones, which is why the JJ needs one with a dongle to plug into the 3.5" socket.
Just have to wait for the Plantronics Pulsar 590A to come out end of this month (or Orange to come up with a new ROM, which will probably be a loooong wait)
F.

Hey, I'm find with mono for now !
I just don't see why I can't get Media Player to work with Headset...
The phone works fine with HandsFree for phone calls...
and I've used HeatSet on my laptop to stream music through Bluetooth.
On other Pocket PCs, where do you set where Media Player will send its signal ? (i.e. speakers, bluetooth headset, bluetooth A2DP, etc...)
Thanks !

[Q] BT Stereo Headset for 02 ATOM

Hi all,
There was problems with the BT Stereo headsets for 02 ATOM with the previous ROM. I would like to poll everyone's opinion if the latest ROM updates have resolved the problems, and which headset is now working beautifully with ATOM.
Please advise, thanks!!!!

itech BT stereo headset works good with my Atom

BT headset Logitech 0228A works fine

Voice Dialing Not Working
My Plantronics 640 headset works well, but my Voice Dialer thru the BT headset doesn't work with the 0402606 ROM--though it did with the original 0102306 ROM.
Any resolutions?

anyone try with Samsung SBH100? It is a A2DP spec stereo headset. BT 1.2.

Using Motorola HS850 easy connection no problem. But can't get the voice dialing to work.

Jabra BT620s w/ latest firmware
* A2DP - ok but random hiccups. Perfect quality with Pc
* Vol - Too soft on Atom, had to preamp. Perfect quality with Pc
* AVRCP - Perfect but only in WM10
* Phone - Sometime fail to answer a call by headset when music still playing, must manual
We wish the next firmware would improvise the A2DP, great feature but buggy...

bro, how much u paid for the jabra bt620s in SG?

Third headset and no success
I need a small headset, what I can use for Skype on my Atom and to listen to mp3. How's the Plantronic 640 working? Does it support the A2DP profile? I don't wanna have one of these big Stereo BT Headsets... I also tried the btaudio program, what works perfectly for the sound, but the mic quality is too poor, nobody understands me by using skype...
Please give me your recommendations which one works 100% and supports all the features...
Thanks
Ellork

Motorola HT 820 works great with Atom Exec. Audio is loud and clear with lots of bass, and WMP 10 pauses on incoming call (press left button to answer) and resumes after hangup (press left button again). Good thing is you only hear beeps for incoming call not a 110db ringtone...You can use your Atom charger to charge the headset too.

???
hi guys, "BT headset" + Atom will get "real" stereo sound, right ???? I know that Atom does not have bluetooth with "A2DP".

Compatible headset ?

Hi, i'm lookink for a good quality headset with microphone and answer button (stereo or not) for my Orange SPV M600.
Do you know if there are other brands compatible with : Nokia, Motorola...
Thanx, Laurent.

Jabra BT 620s Stereo Headset, together with the last pocket player.
Take a view of these not expensive Headset and enjoy the life without cables.

I have the motorola stéréo headset and sound quality is good, and the micro for communication is really great.
I still have to test it with pocket player tho. With WMP no problem, I can even resume music after a call by pressing the play button

Motorola?
Hallo Cedrick! You didn´t tell us which Motorola headset you´r using?

Cingular 8125 Windows Media Stereo Bluetooth

Here is my goal:
*****
Use my Cingular 8125 to listen to Windows Media Player through a stereo bluetooth headset.
*****
I have seen a lot of references to A2DP and many references to cab files, registry hacks etc. Is there one clear definitive way to accomplish this? All the instructions in one place? Would the sound from Windows Media Player be routed to the bluetooth device instead of coming out of the speakers like it does now? The bluetooth device works for phone fuctions but not for Windows Media Player.
Thank you

bluetooth
there are many ways of doing this the easy way is to find the buletooth audio toggle program. the other is to get a stereo headset and one of the new roms that support a2dp i like shogun's one best and flash your phone.

Woo Hoo i have fans, lol... all you really need is a bluetooth stereo headset and a2dp cab to install... then when you sync your stereo headset with the phone it will ask you if you want to use it as a stereo headset..

Thanks. How do I get and install the A2DP cab. Is is just one file involved or is a combination of a cab file, dll files and registry hacks that must be manually copied and applied? I am just looking for the most straight forward way of accomplishing this. I would also please like to get a clear answer on one of my original questions: With the A2DP cab installed and a stereo bluetooth headset, will the output from Windows Media Player automatically go to the headset instead of coming out of the built-in speakers?

here you go, just install this cab for a2dp... the other things you saw where improvement hacks, and those are only needed if you have choppy or skipping issues with your stereo headset, most commonly with the moto HT820

shogunmark, thank you very much! I can't wait to try it!

Absolutely Awesome Shogun!!!!
I just bought my HT820's today to take on a trip. I was pretty unhappy when I couldn't listen to my MP3's using my 8125. Then I checked out Howard's forums, which steered me here. The rest is history!!!!!
The sound quality with my unit is just about as good as with my wired stereo headset! I have yet to take a call, but heck, at least I've got my tunes!
Thanks again Shogun!!

Hey guys....I'm new to all this stuff. When you install the a2dp file, how do you get the windows media player to play through the BT stereo headphones? What steps do you have to go through?

I have the 8125 and have installed the A2DP cab. I deleted my partnership with my H700 bluetooth handfree, but I do not have an option to listen to stereo anything. I am guessing that the H700 does not work as a "stereo headset". Anyone else get this combo to work?!

Works for two seconds only !!
Hey Shotgun/other gurus !
I installed the cab, and viola !!! it worked !!!!
but only for 2 seconds, I have a nokia h200 headset, and a Cingular-8125.
I did the following ->
1) Installed the cab.
2.) Went to settings of the bluetooth, did a "Add device as head set"
3.) Synched up the bluetooth device.
4.) Pressed and held, the bluetooth button.
5.) This popped up, both the "Voice dialer" and the gave me background mp3.
6.) When the pop-up for voice dialing went off, the voice returned to the headset !
Can you please suggest something on this !
Now I know that it works ! seems I'm closer to reaping good songs, any suggestions/links you can give me would be GREAT !!!!

A2DP is for STEREO headsets, people!
Lots of confusion on this thread. AFAIK the H700 is NOT a stereo headset supporting the A2DP standard. Installing the A2DP cab isn't going to do a thing for you! You may as well uninstall it and save the memory.
If you want to pipe sound through your MONO bluetooth headset, use the BTAudio program. One place to find it is:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=260666
Also, for the person that talked about the Nokia H200. What the heck is that? I did a Yahoo search and found no such device. In any case, I am assuming it is a mono bluetooth headset, in which case the program referenced above should work.
HTH

how do i go about downloading this zip file to my 8125?
thanks for the help

Hold stylus on the file (right click), select save as,
select a location, click save.

moto HT820 choppy and skipping
I install the cab fail for a2dp, but my moto HT820 stereo bluetooth headset is choppy and skipping. Is there a fix for this problem

Oh Yea
Thanks shogunmark that worked great and my new Bluespoon Spiders work great in every respect.

Using Jabra BT500 with 8125
I have an 8125 and am using a Jabra BT500v headset. I have installed BTaudio and have a shortcut on the today screen, When I hit the toggle icon, everything comes thru headset, for 1 call only. After that it goes back to the phone and I have to hit the toggle again. Any way to keep this on? New to this, but learning alot in this forum.

stereo thru my 8125 cingular phone
thanx! i have downloaded and installed the a2dp cab
i then paired the phone with the ht820 headset.
i now listen to all of my mp3 music in stereo and my bluetooth screen gives me the choice to check handsfree and stereo headset!
and to think i was getting ready to buy a phone that had a2dp built in.
you saved me a ton of money!

Wicked!!
Shogun, absolutely fantastic. iWing headset worked as a BT handsfree on my Wizard, now with new improved A2DP cab I can listen to all the music I have on my SD card.
Thanks.

yes, turn on flight mode.. lol
that almost sounds like a fault of the headset, i havent ever experienced that with my horrible knock off HT820's from ebay, but would be curious to see if other people with the Jabra BT500v have a similiar issue

Bluetooth Stereo Headset Problem

Hi all
As this is my first post I just want to say a big thankyou for all the contributers to this site, awesome information and keep up the good work.
I have been running Black Majik on my M3100 for a week or so now and have been really impressed. the only slightly annoying problem I have is with my BT Stereo headset (HTC BH S100) which I have had only a couple of days.
Listening to music and controlling the media player(s) (Audio Manager and WMP) is fine, the problem I get is answering/initiating calls from the headset. After a reboot of the phone, the headset works OK for both music and calls, but after turning the headset off/on, the call handling functions don't work although wireless stereo does - its as though the phone loses the headset profile but not wireless stero. Stopping/Starting the BT stack from comm manger seems to reinstate the headset functions but this is frustrating!
I have searched multiple forums but have not found anything of use yet!!
Does anyone have any ideas
Thanks in advance
M.

same problem

please help us

Up ... Same WM6 version, same problem ... with a Nokia BT Headset, and a Sony Ericsson too ...
Thank you.

guess i have a worse problem then. cant hear my phone ring from my BT HS. not that ive tried to figure it out. i can live without listening to music. but it would be interesting to know how everyone is able to hear their phone ring from their headsets. im thinking its because of my headset. i have a moto hs810. does anybody concur?

I have the same problem and I've tried a P3600 and kaiser and the same problem.
As merlynuk wrote the problem seem that the HD lose a free hand function of it profile and only a reset and sometime a pairng od device solve it.
It's for me important to use this function in car or call a voice command but the MTB button seem not work.
bought this HD because belived it would be perfect with a HTC PDA but it's not really.
Do you have some suggestion ?
Do you believe it's better to sell this HD and to buy another ?
Someone know a HD device thet work perfectly as free hand and function as a call, a start a vocal command etc etc work fine ?
Regards
aladino

got the same problem: bought the HTC BH S100 after my touch cruise cause I thought to have no problem with vocal commands, but it doesn't work. music, player control, phone and pairing are perfect but no vocal dialling..
how can we solve this??
