Anyone to recommend a good Bluetooth headset, a set with music controls 3.5mm jack for your own earphones and a display that would display the id3 tags or file name. Of course be able to answer calls.
I'm using a Nokia one at the moment but its not very responsive, dunno if its because of the old Bluetooth 1.0 compatibility.

Sony MW600.
Thanks for the recommendation, so I bought a set after reading positive reviews. Connection was easy and very quick and responsive. But one fault is that the phone itself starts ringing on incoming calls the and some signals through the headset. Weird doesn't happen on my old slow unresponsive BT headset (Nokia) at least the phone didn't ring just signals through the headset bit embarrassing when your phone goes off and you answer on a BT headset.
Any settings that could fix this?
I have resetted BT pairing and the headset but still same.
Anybody use this with wildfire?

Are you using any custom roms? I remember that cyanogen rom has some options about ringing in headphones, if I am not mistaken.
Also, did you test it on another phone to see if it's behaving the same way ?

I am using Wildpuzzle 0.8. Checked media and phone audio is connected. Have tried it on a Nokia and same thing happens. Can the headset be updated or something? My way round is to mute the phone when I connect the headset but this is so inconvenient when sometimes I forget to reenable sound.

Try this: Do a nandroid back-up and flash CM7. See if the problem still persists.
If not... I`m out of ideas. Maybe try to get a refund?
I have read many threads with same complaint, now realising It's a feature of most new smartphones (dunno whether its just android or not) that phone always rings with Bluetooth headsets just in case for some reason you take out your earphones for some reason.
I'm a little reluctant to switch to cm7 waiting for it to be stable first.

I think it`s normal for a phone to ring via the speaker even with the headset connected. Maybe they just need to add an option for it.
I meant testing CM7, not switching to it completely. A 30 min job to test CM7 and restore nandroid.
Hi
Just got the MW600 as well, very pleased so far.
I have the same issue, phone is ringing as well - whereas it does not really bother me.
There are few things not working well for me, so I was hoping to find here some feedback:
- No Song titles are displayed (not so bad since it is normally clipped in a position where you can not easily check
- the call-button does not work to call somebody, only to take a call
- the play button does not automatically start playing HTC music - but worked with Winamp and Songbird
Any suggestions ?
Original Rom (l have 2.2.1 nie) have Sound quality issue over a2do. HTC support said, I must wait for next update (when they may be fix it)

I'm having an issue with my Plantronics 903+ Bluetooth Headset. They pair and play's music fine , but it cuts out quite alot if i move about. Honestly if I have to sit still I may as well get wired headphones.
I am CM nightly's (71) with the latest radio flashed.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Hello,
i use Jabra BT3030
http://www.productwiki.com/jabra-bt3030/
3 years of working, without any problem
Ok, I really start to like the SE MW600 a lot
If you get a call music stops and you can take the call with one button.
Double tapping the call button re-calls the last person you phoned - works good as well.
But I am still not having the ideal media player
Original HTC music player fails to start up automatically when you tab the music button
- but next song/pause works well
Songbird opens automatically, next song/pause/... works well but searching in a track not and it is rather heavy making the phone really slow
Winamp is probably the best, but I still think it is too heavy
Does anybody knows a good light media player with bluetooth support ?

I have P3600, WM6, ROm 3.00.707.17. i paired it with my SE Bluetooth headset. when i play music, it skips every 20-30 seconds, and then after 10-15 min play time, it skips even more.
i repaired it several times but still same problem. anyone has problem playing music via BT and/or with this particular SE headset.

thanks! i just installed A2DPfix, yet it still skips.
NO more skipping after 20 min of play. YAY!
hi again,
after i installed A2DPFix a month ago, my music has been playing without much skipping until recently. i do not know what changed, but it skips 3-4 times in the beginning of each song. it's sporadic, sometime it skips and sometime it does not.
i have been reading more about A2DPFix.cab here, some people claims it works while others not 100%.
then someone suggested to use pocket player 3.5 and other music player. i am currently trying this new S2P music player
http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-download-s2p.html
this seems to work without skipping except i can not pause, forward and backward using my BT remote headset with this music player. also, i my BT remote does not work with pocket player 3.5.
i am using a SE HBH-DS970, can someone explain to me why the remote for this BT headset only works with window media player and not other music players.
it would be great if i can someone make the remote works with the new S2P player because it DOES NOT skip and it's free.
thanks!!

you are correct, once in a while when i either restart my mobile phone or headset, still it's a pain and frustrating.
i would really like to know why the SE headset functions (pause, next song, previous song...etc) doe not work with other music players.
i saw the HTC audio manager player and i wonder if this will work with my SE headset?
http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-download-htc-audio-manager-v1-2-515-718.html
would someone please shed some light here as to why my SE headset only works with window media player that comes with the phone (HTC P3600)
Use the HTC AudioManager its easy to handle. WM give me and to the most other
the Database/playlist error.
The buttons works fine with them. I Use only this.
Heard that mortplayer (or similar) works too.
Greets
Pair the device with the phone from the phone, and not let the headset connect automaticly.
In other words:
1: Turn OFF bluetooth on the phone
2: Turn ON headset
3: Wait for a few sec
4: turn ON bluetooth on phone
5: Press and hold on the headset name in the device-list and choose connect or whatever it's called
Now you shouldn't have skipping. (Untill next time...) - Or change rom.

i did what you suggested,
1. turn off bluetooth on the phone
2. turn on headset,
3. wait a few sec
4. turn on bluetooth on the phone
5. press and hold on my headset and choose connect? press and hold does not seem to give me that the "connect" option
anyway, i do 1, 2, 3, 4 and then for
5. i press my headset which connects to my phone
i connect three separate times and it has not been skipping every time.
i guess i am very curious as to why this particular sequence makes a different. any one knows at all????
Hehe! If you search bit, and find threads I've been involved in, you'll se a solution for this problem that I posted out for a long ago... Don't ask me how I managed to debug this, but god damned I was proud Hehe!
But why it works, I don't know Hehe! I guess there is some sort of buffer-error going on when connecting the normal way

Additional reason
From my experience, I did have this same problem as you guys, but I found another thing that really caused the music playback to skip.
Over here, I've actually purchased a counterfeit Sony Ericsson HBH-DS970. I had bought the counterfeit first, and Sony gave me an original for free.
I found that the copy (fake, but in every way looks like the original, except it feels a bit flimsy) tends to skip. I obviously didn't know it was a fake, and I had taken it to Sony to get it fixed. Sony took one look at it and gave me coffee and asked for details of the dealer who sold this counterfeit. Then, Sony gave me a free original set, just for my help.
Based on my use of both sets, I can safely say that the counterfeit skips, the original doesn't. Wish somebody can explain to me why this happens.

Well, I think what you mean is that the counterfeit skips on your device with your rom, while the original does not skip on your device with your rom
(Since the original one skips as much as a counterfeit one on other trinity-devices
This skipping is most likely caused' by some sort of buffer settings - which seem to be individual from devicetype to devicetype.
Sorry if I make some mistakes...
I've the same problem with my BT Plantronics...
It depends only from the ROM
I haven't any problems with WM5, but some coocked WM6 have this problem, now I am with this and everything works fine...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=370136
I hope someone might have the answer to this problem:
I'm using my Desire with a Nokia CK-100 carkit (which works perfectly), but also like it when the navigation directions are spoken via the A2DP.
Now all the audio works just fine via A2DP, but there is a delay before the audio is being played over the car speakers. This usually results in only hearing the directions after like 1-2 secs, thus I'm missing half the directions!
Read: I'd like to listen to my car radio, but have the directions over the speakers. And then the radio sounds/music are being muted by the CK100 carkit.
So: Does anyone know if it's possible to either change the way the directions/speech behaves? For example: add 1-2 seconds of 'silence' in front of the directions, or just some bogus word might help too .
Or perhaps there is a tweak that makes the switch faster and eliminate the 1-2 seconds delay before the sound is played over the speakers (I guess this might be a thing that has to do with the carkit, and not the Desire).
On a more 'funny' note, my Hero plays the directions just fine over the A2DP. But I think that has to do with the Hero being slower. I guess the Desire starts talking too fast, and then the CK100 doesn't have enough time to switch (or better, on the Hero the talking starts áfter the switch, with the Desire right away during the switch).
I have the same issue with Bluetooth headset HTC BH M300
At moment I disable the media connection on the Bluetooth headset options so I can hear the Google maps direction from the speaker of Desire...
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
Yeah, at the moment that's my solution as well. But some tweak which 'starts' the audio 2 seconds earlier (with 1-2 second silent gap then) would be best.
Perhaps the instructions can be modified in some way? I'm not 100% sure how that's done with Google Navigation. I believe it's done via the speech synthesis right? So perhaps there is some file in which the directions are stored? That might be the first step.
Maybe someone who has been digging around in the Google Navigation knows more about this?

What do I loose after disabling media connection? I guess that bluetooth music playback. If that's all that will be my definite fix...
Yep, no more audio over the bluetooth. But the phone/carkit will still work just fine.
The update to FroYo 'fixed' my problem! I can now hear the most important part of the directions. Yay!
So you might want to give it a try again after updating.
After official froyo update and with latest Google Maps installed the audio problem is still here :'(
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
I have the same problem.
I'm using the Parrot MKi9100 carkit and LeeDroid 2.0c Froyo rom.
Im using Sygic Drive 10 and first 1-2 sec of the instruction is cut-off when conected to the bluetooth. The same behaviour was over my BluAnt headset.
However Sygic over my Nokia e71 didn't had that issues.
Also I have other problem is when using Google Maps first 1-2 seconds are playing fine but the other part is silenced? Other way around!
Does somebody have any solution to this?
-when listen music either on HTC music widget or PowerAmp
- got Gap and silent when using Bluetooth headset
- works fine if direct connect to the ONE X
any idea and fix ???
I've yet to see if this works for bluetooth but had a look at the ROMeOS rom and saw this in the build.prop as monx seams to have fixed the stutter: lpa.decode=true
I've set this in my build.prop and will try through the car bluetooth tomorrow.
To edit build.prop in the system folder you will need root access
thanks , buddy , let me know the result.
Unfortunately made no difference for me, will keep digging though as this is annoying when I have a 40 min commute to work each morning and again back.
Anyone have any idea's?
Edit: this doesn't just happen on the beats setting, turning it off makes no difference.
Anyone have any ideas on any fixes yet?

I was also planning on buying that Sony thing, but then I found my Nokia BH 214 back. It is now charging and when I'm back home I will test it. If it also stutters, I'm not going to buy a new headset, because it's likely to have the same problems, although that Sony is Bluetooth 3.0, which could make a difference.
I'll let you know the results with the Nokia.

Sorry for the very late reply, I completely forgot it. Just yet I tested the Nokia BH 214. First my One X couldn't find it, tried for almost 10 minutes. Then I disabled WiFi, just to try, and yes the headset was found. Then I put WiFi back on, but it refused to communicate. Wifi off again, communicating worked. So to say pairing was easy: far from that.
Now the next phase: listening to music. Completely unusable. Very very bad. There's something wrong with output, vocals are washed away and sound like the singer is 100 miles away. While quality isn't an issue with the MW600. But also the gaps. What is also very strange is when the phone is on my desk in line of sight with my headset, the are only a few gaps. But as soon as I put the phone in my pocket, the gaps increase exponentially.
So I think in my case the only thing left is to send the phone back. There must be something wrong with it, my WiFi reception is also very bad. Bluetooth also sucks, so since WiFi and Bluetooth are handled by the same chip, there must be something wrong with it. I really like the phone and sending it back means it's away for 2/3/? weeks, but first I hoped it was something with the software but that hope is fading away.
--------edit: just pissed of by all this. Called HTC and I'm sending it back for repair. Nice phone, but basics like WiFi and Bluetooth must work and they don't. They said it will be back in 7-10 working days. Hope they can keep that promise. --------
Have the same problem with my Jabra Freeway, really annoying to get thos silent gaps when listening to podcasts and music in the car. Tried to run navigation on my way to work today to see if that made any difference but it didn't :-(

Thanks for info.
Seems the problem is more related to Bluetooth version & buffering.
I'm planning to buy Sony wireless headset pro with bt v3.
I'll update once I get it hopefully by end of June...

I just tried using my Moto S10-HD after reading this, and thought I would tell you my experience. I have alot of music on my phone, and I just hooked up my BT with Wifi on and no issues, so I started to play music and so far 3 songs and no gaps stutter or anything like that. One thing that does happen which prior phones didnt happen is that when the screen goes to stand by after not touching it, there is a .5 second interruption in the song, but thats it I am currently on my forth song and the phone is in "standby" mode and it plays perfectly.
I have the WWE version of the phone using 1.29.401.11 ROM BL unlocked, rooted, and custom stock rom.
Not sure that it helps you but to share my experience; I have occasional stuttering on bluetooth using my Sennheisers if the phone is in my pocket. I found that I can replicate the stuttering if I completely cover the top of the phone with a hand on either side and cupped together at the top - in fact I can cut off bluetooth playback altogether.
This isn't a normal way of holding the phone obviously - but it does count if the phone is in your pocket, there is already some 'resistance/interference' from the surroundings. Other than that, I have great wifi reception, best of any phone I have had.
Could this be a hardware fault? Maybe they just need to boost the bluetooth signal / improve buffering?
I only got my HOX this week, aside from this issue it is great, no other issues - touch wood
Mine seemed to studder when it was in my pocket while I walked my dog. I sent it in for other issues and we'll see if the new one has similar issues.
Same problem here ! Kinda disapointed !
Same problem SonyEricsson HBH-IS800
I also have a lot of stuttering. It appears to be a very weak signal because it works better (though still not flawless) when I have the phone close to the headset.
Putting the phone in my pocket is already far enough for playback to completely stop working.
Hi all not sure if someone has this issue or this its just because my car

Yep one of frustrations with the one x tbh. You may get it to work by disabling Bluetooth, then turning it back on and then in settings / Bluetooth make sure you hit the settings icon next to the Bluetooth device and then enable the media connection by tapping on it, though it probably reports connected anyway.
Then back in music, select player and again try selecting the car.
I have to fiddle back and forth with these settings 4 or 5 times before I get mine to work, and should at any point in my journey my stereo turn off even for just a minute (filling up with petrol) I have to go through the whole process again.
It becomes a total exercise in pure frustration... Sometimes even when it reports connected, you go into music and press play and then you can even see it fail to connect meda wise on my car audio (a little icon indicating media connection drops completely)...
Nightmare..
Yet it remains connected for phone calls, so it has to be something to do with the music app, beats integration or such..
In the past 18 months I've had a Nokia Lumia 800, Nokia N9, iPhone 4, iPhone 4s, blackberry torch 9860, blackberry bold 9900, HTC sensation, HTC sensation XE, and a galaxy s2..... None had any issues with streaming audio to my car as well as Bluetooth calls. The HTC One X is the only phone I've had with this issue...
If there was one reason for me to get rid of my one x, it would actually be this as its something I like to use three times a day, and so far it's just so erratic it really is peeing me off..

It becomes a total exercise in pure frustration... Sometimes even when it reports connected, you go into music and press play and then you can even see it fail to connect meda wise on my car audio (a little icon indicating media connection drops completely)...
Nightmare..
Yet it remains connected for phone calls, so it has to be something to do with the music app, beats integration or such..
In the past 18 months I've had a Nokia Lumia 800, Nokia N9, iPhone 4, iPhone 4s, blackberry torch 9860, blackberry bold 9900, HTC sensation, HTC sensation XE, and a galaxy s2..... None had any issues with streaming audio to my car as well as Bluetooth calls. The HTC One X is the only phone I've had with this issue...
If there was one reason for me to get rid of my one x, it would actually be this as its something I like to use three times a day, and so far it's just so erratic it really is peeing me off..

Doubt it, if it's just not connecting to media, then that was happening to me on stock as well

Hey guys hows it going?
I just purchased one of the new smart bluetooth headsets from Sony which is the SBH50 model and I received it yesterday. Been using it for a day now. Just here to give you a review.
Now first I wasnt sure if it would work the way I assumed originally or if any of the features were compatible with the Xperia S. But bought it anyway as I mainly need it for calls.
As soon as I took it out of the box I immediately touched the headset to the back of my phone and boom. It was connected immediately. Received a notification to download the companion app. Downloaded and thats it. I was soon enough set up ready to go. So simple.
Sound quality is awesome for calls and music. Even the FM radio. The signal for the radio is also good. Unlike on the mw600 where the radio would cut out because the signal was weak.
When you receive a phone call the number pops up on screen with the name, compared to mw600 would be just the number. The notification for text to speech I still havent tested properly however so far seems to be working. I also havent checked the messaging notifications yet however I have seen the email and gmail notifications.pop up on screen.
The multipoint feature is excellent. You can select one device as a primary device and still receive notifcations from both devices and listen to music from the other.
The battery life is also amazing. Switched it on at 7 am and its still on id say about 75%. Most of thr battery has been consumed by me listening to the fm radio this morning.
Oh and there is an option to view your call log on the device too which is quite nice, especially if you want to ring back a number in the call list.
Build quality is very good I found. Feels slightly plasticy but good quality. Not the cheap plastic feel.
Theres a lot more which can be covered and I will add to this review the more I get to know the device and its features.

Got mine as well few days ago. Lost mw600. Not sure what Sony is thinking with 'smart' range as it regresses, since any bluetooth ever, had double click to redial and long press to voice dial. These, including mw1 are missing those functions. Also in comparison with mw600 now we need app to display contacts (sure not it shows names as well), but permanent ongoing notification in status bar and notifications kills this softaware for me.
As long as it does not allow me to change button options and setup, this smart bluetooth is not gonna be 'simply smart' for the foreseeable future. Opening api for Devs might help.
Also don't understand why bluetooth with basically same features, sans NFC, as mw600, is 30 percent larger in volume, while offering same talk/music times as it.
Rant over!
Basically, only reason I'm keeping it is because of possibility of firmware updates (if mw600 had this it wouldn't be obsolete yet and would buy again. Than again that company does not exist anymore) , making it somewhat future proof. This only applies if Sony keeps their end of the bargain.

I got one of these in the mail this week for my Xperia Z.
I was after a bluetooth unit with a 3.5mm output so i could hook it up to my Logitech Z2300 and control the music from my phone. Works well, only the bluetooth range is up to approx 15m line of sight. It'll do for my home entertaining.
I havent tried yet, but if i can connect my pc to it via BT as well i can play the songs off there too.
I dont really see the need for NFC since pairing with BT is simple enough.
Firmware can be updated on it via SUS.
The instruction manual included doesnt have any operating instructions. Im not 100% sure what the icons in the menu means.
Its very light if youre gonna clip it to your clothing, but to handle it is a little tricky cos it is too light.
Ive seen the Pro version of this, with usb on the end of it, so it can be used as standalone mp3 player. Wish i had seen that earlier.
The only thing I cant get it to do is connect to skype on my nexus 7 1st gen or on my xperia s

MW1 is better cause of card slot. The new one is cool though.
you can use it while it is connected to a power supply?
Yes.. it works

I had no problems using this headset with Skype on my Xperia Z1 and Razr HD
Some phones have settings in the Skype menu to use Bluetooth. Check the settings in the Skype menu.
Hope that helps

Well, I am somewhat happy with the SBH50 - I only had the MW600 for a short while before sending it back because of the volume controls.
However, it's terrible that you cannot launch voice dial with the big button (what does it anyway?) and the music controls will launch the standard music app if you hadn't launched a different one on the phone before...
I'm praying that this will become better.
My first one after a few weeks died. Wouldn't switch on at all thankfully Amazon replaced it for me.

Can anyone confirm the battery life of sbh50 when you only listen to fm radio, with no device connected? how long is it? because I need at least 10h of fm radio at work

My MW600 stopped working (showing that its charging but not turning on) after a few months so I'm scared to buy another type from Sony. Anyone else ran into problems with the unit not turning on or are you all recommending it?

Personally I'd recommend it. I mean I have had no problems since I got my replacement and the battery life on it is awesome. For me anyway. I was going to purchase the sbh52 but I wasn't too sure about it

Will it be working on Xperia acro slt26w
I'm just looking for a replacement for my MW600 (first one got lost, second one got the clip broken and the last one all of a sudden died for no obvious reason ).
Now I already kind of decided to go for the SBH50 but coming across this thread I don't feel so confident any longer..
and the music controls will launch the standard music app if you hadn't launched a different one on the phone before...

Just to get this right- once you've started another app the buttons will control the playback of this particular app or start the default player instead?? (Which would be horrible since I'm exclusively using Spotify)
And something else which got me confused after having read too many reviews: Does the display turn off while listening/having calls? (The MW600 did and I would prefer it this way.)
And a last question especially for the previous MW600 users: Is the SBH50 comfortable to wear? From the pictures the clip doesn't really look secure to be attached compared with the old model..

Hi there. Yes the display turns off after a few seconds in a call, listening to music or when you stop pressing the buttons.
The clip is comfortable to wear however you will either need to clip it on to the neckline/collar of any top or anywhere along the zip line. You can't just clip it anywhere.
