Ok I bought the HTC stereoclip last week from HTC Lebanon (Microage)
The price was really fair specially for my country where everything is 2-3x more expensive!
Paid 60$ :good:
I tested this car accessory with 2 devices: One without aptx(a sort of BT codec) the Cowon J3 and the other my lovely One X which has aptx.
With Cowon J3:
-Pairing was fast and good
-Sound quality is ...crappy
-Maximum volume output in my car stereo speakers (Citroen DS3) is weak
With HTC One X:
-Pairing was fast and good
-Car app open automatically BT and stream without asking,very convenient!
-Sound quality is...very good!
-Maximum volume output in my car stereo speakers is high,let say at the same level as an audio CD!
HTC car app uses a ''modded'' version of HTC Music app,the navigation is easier in case of a car holder but you get only the Beats sound enhancer,which is too bassy!
The trick I found is to go to Viperx tweaks (only in viperx rom) and replace the music app in car app by the HTC ''classic'' music app,I then gain multiple sound enhancers like SRS WOW and others :laugh:
So in conclusion, yes it will work with many BT devices like the Cowon J3(which has only earphones BT mode only) but the sound quality and volume will be weak, if you want to buy it for the aptx ready HTC One line then it's a winner.
I am going to buy the HTC car holder for One X,it will be a very nice car audio system then...
This is just a suggestion, but could you also use a USB On The Go cable?
Can you link your phone, at the same time, to your car's Bluetooth for phone calls?
If someone calls the music is automatically cut but the voice call doesn't work with stereoclip.I don't have BT on my car radio that's why I bought this nice piece.
Yes you can recharge it with a micro usb cable while it's playing but anyway the battery last 3 days if you don't turn it off
I bought this too this past weekend.

I use it 2012 Chevy Tahoe LT. The Tahoe has BT for phone calls built in. I can pair my phones between the two BT devices.
Phone - Tahoe
Media - HTC Stereoclip
The phones I'm using? Samsung Galaxy S3 and Galaxy Note.
Audio sounds great!

Thats good to know, I was wondering about that.
Technically while this is an HTC product, everyone with an Android phone/device should know about this. Honestly though I'd like to see the price drop down 40%-50%. I have a BT stereo headset that allows for 3.5mm plug-in and does the same thing and it cost $30. That battery doesn't last as long (15-20hrs while streaming) but you get the point.
I bought mine at Best Buy in the Cell Phone department. I had to find it on my own because the employees are inept and looked at me funny when I explained it to them.
The big bads of JB + Sense roms?
-No more Tunin radio integration in Car App
-Only Beats mode available now for Music app whereas it's in the car app or the classic HTC Music app.
Don't know why HTC took out all the others (SRS,Equalisers,presets...)

You can find it everywhere on ebay. Actually, you can access this ebay link for more information http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI...loc=closed_view_item&refwidgettype=osi_widget.
Because I am in Australia so I use Australian ebay. I think can find it on your localized ebay site. Is costs around 21 USD excluding shipping cost.
I have just tried mine out. The exact model you list, the BK 08.
It sounds good. I have only tested for a few minutes, but it paired up instantly and just worked. I have tried incoming calls, and it switches over to the call correctly and back to the music. The buttons work as expected, controlling calling and music playback.
I walked away from the phone to check the range, and I experienced a skip or two beyond 5m distance, but when in normal range of the phone, it's flawless.
More about the quality. I have reasonably good ears, having owned etymotic ER4s before now and consider myself a minor audiophile. From a limited listen, I have no complaints about the quality of the stream.
I was expecting to hear encoding artifacts as the material listened to was MP3, and afaik, the a2dp device will encode for transmission using the SBC codec. No obvious negative effects were detected with my admittedly average Technics headphones. If anything, the audio loses a little definition and punch. Not the same as a wired connection, but easily good enough for me.
I have enabled the a2dp registry tweak in the Kaiser tweak tool.
I bought from an ebay user called phone_base, paid £18 including postage, and received the item after about 18 days.
Very happy, and pleasantly suprised.
It wasn't so great on the train on the way home. I heard some little pops and there were more skips, so I did some more tweaks:
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=7715
It is much better now.
Also, I realised there was no easy way to turn on/off the bluetooth stereo output, so I installed this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=338263&highlight=a2dp
The only other problem is that Mort player doesn't support avrcp so I can't pause it with the headset. I might have a go at this later:

Unless, I would like advice on purchasing new earphones with switch call/end telephone and control volume for my t-mobile mda pro, what are the best quality/price? thanks for any help you can give to me.
p.s. i think that the jack for this pocket pc is 3,5 mm, correct me if I wrong .

Perhaps (correct me if not) the iPhone's headset works also with the Universal.
http://img.tomshardware.com/us/2007...ed_iphone_headset/apple_and_rivet_earbuds.jpg
i'm not sure of this information, but i'm exigent and i want find the original sony earphone .... please can you give help???
hi, i am new to the universal world, and since i just received my device yesterday and unfortunately didn't read the ebay description right, i hardly have any original accessories. besides other things i don't have a hands-free. i've had my blueangel for 2 years and had similar issues there, because i wonder, for just listening to music, is the plug's layout the same as in a 2-contact one?
the blueangel's 2.5mm 3contact plug has a different layout, meaning, plugging in a simple 2contact adaptor from 2.5 to 3.5mm doesn't do the trick and you wouldn't be able to listen to music properly since one output channel is actually jammed in the microphone input channel. it is all messed up.
i hadn't had the chance to test it, but:
- does a normal 3.5mm stereo headphone work for listening only?
- do mini-usb-b headsets work on the universal, say... if you took the touch HD's
- do those from newer HTC devices support the extra buttons (PTT, play, skip...)
- does a 3 contact 3.5mm like the one (usually ) shipped with the universal support other button functions besides answering and holding a call, like ending call or voice command...
i would love to have those questions answered and like innuendo1973, i would like to know, what headset, hands-free... would be best for me (till now, still using my sim in the BA, so maybe a simple music headset would be enough, a usb one even better, if that works)
as i may recall, i do have a lot of experience when it comes to the bluangel, but this universal seems so much more complex and so different after all...
(Prepare for a lot of stupid questions when i first start upgrading it )

I will just get a extUSB to 3.5mm adaptor from HTC. Check it out here: http://www.expansys.com.hk/d.aspx?i=179131
The good thing about this is that you can use any headsets to answer calls as well as listen to music, especially listing to the radio.
Or if you want to you can also purchase a multi-function adaptor, which will enable you to listen to music or answer calls why charging the phone. So you can watch movies and not need to worry about running out of battery.
All for less than £25.
This is not really specific to the EVO but I'm looking for a bluetooth to audio adapter (3.5 mm stereo) that is reasonably priced and will work well enough for music. I want to be able to listen to podcasts and the music located on my phone on something other than headphones or the built-in speaker. I recently purchased the Yamaha NX-B02 speakers which would have been a good solution but unfortunately they emit a high pitched squeal when connected via bluetooth that I find very annoying. With an adapter like this I'll just use my home stereo. I found a number of these on eBay but without reading some reviews I'm hesitant to drop the cash.
check out the
Motorola DC800 Bluetooth Stereo Transceiver- 98690H
FEATURES - Motorola Bluetooth Home Stereo Transceiver By streaming music to your the Bluetooth Stereo Headphones, the Bluetooth Home Stereo Adapter turns audio devices such as home
stereos and MP3 players into wireless music systems. Just plug the DC800 into your home stereo or MP3 player with an included RCA cable or 3.5mm cable and you are ready to go. You can even hook
up to your RCA capable TV!

I just got this 2 days ago.
BH-214 Bluetooth Stereo Headset
So far it works very well for music (and stereo sound).
I've used if with buds at the gym and in my car (connected to an aux input) and have been very impressed with the sound.
However, when using it with my Ultimate Ears SuperFi 5vi buds... it sounds terrible.
It seems like it is not designed (although it appears to be) for stereo + mic.
I've need to try it with some of my other buds (w/ a mic) and see if it is isolated to them.
EDIT: I missed the mention about connecting it to a stereo. The downsides to this unit... is that I don't believe it transmits while charging.
I researched this quite a bit recently and this device has a lot of great reviews:
http://na.blackberry.com/eng/devices/accessories/music_gateway.jsp
Even though it's a Blackberry product it supports A2DP so it should work fine with the EVO. I don't own it so make sure you do your research but this looks like a great option.
I was using this in my car to stream audio to on my stereo and it worked great. Then I got a new head unit with bluetooth built in so I bought an AC/DC converter and plug this into the wall at home and connected it to my home stereo. Now I can stream everything from my phone to the home stereo. Works like a charm and I only picked this thing up for $30 on buy.com a year ago.

Just a quick question err reassure me before i buy that i need to buy a set with 3 pin layout right?
Are all the 3 pin layouts the same ie.. if i find one with the 3 it will work?
Like say this...
hxxp://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/71Dr9lqKKJL._AA1500_.jpg
I want to buy these but i really don't know if they work or not...
hxxp://www.amazon.com/Atomic-Earphones-Microphone-iPhone-Compatible/dp/B002RWJDB6/ref=acc_glance_e_ai_purchase_similarities_t_4
Please any and all help and criticism welcome too...
I won't comment on the pins but if you're replacing the stock earphones for better sound quality, these will not give it. I have not listened to these but I have to a higher-end model of JBuds and they sound worse than stock.
The JVC Air Cushions on Amazon for 16-20$ are amazing, especially with PowerAmp app and listening to Techno/Electronic/House music, as well as everything else. I bought a 75$ pair of NuForce 700X IEMs and they sounded the same as my 20$ JVC Air Cushions.

Compatibility question
I have been searching far and wide for compatible in-ear headphones with a mic.
Looking at the pinout differences between the iphone and most android phones, I was very disappointed in what is available. The GND and MIC signals are reversed for many popular android phones compared to the iphone headset pinout. However, the other day, I plugged my friend's iphone headset into my captivate... AND IT WORKED!! I was shocked! I tried my headset in her iphone and that also worked.
Does this mean that iphone headsets work with the captivate? I would just love it if the headset and mic worked. Buttons would be nice, but you can't have everything.
Does anyone have experience with the Klipsch S4i or the Ultimate Ears 500vi with their captivates?
I have experience with the Ultimate Ears TripleFi 5vi on the Captivate and it works, so I'd imagine that extends to all iPhone compatible headsets. I checked out the 500vi and those use diaphragm rather than balanced armature drivers, even though they are not that different in price. I really suggest going for the pair with the better drivers, as there will be a drastic difference in sound quality.
If anyone cares...
Ok this is what i found in the I9000 forum hope it works for what i want...
Ebay link paid $13 shipped from UK...
This is what i want from it Vol up down button and mic...

These earbuds...are the cord lengths of equal length or is one cord shorter than the other? I hate that around the back of the neck crap. I hate how manufactures and retailers never explicitly tell you.

Lol now that i got that out of the way waiting for the other adapter for my phone...

The Etymotic HF2 work great with the Captivate and the quality is great.
By the way, has anybody tried the HF3? They don't work with some Android phones with I haven't found anything about the Captivate.
Play/pause music with in-line mic control button
Lots of headphone/mic threads, so wanted to bump one with recent activity to ask a question.
I recently upgraded to GB, was listening to music with a seat of headphones with an in-line mic. I paused the song using the control button on the mic, had a conversation, and when I clicked the mic button again...nothing. The button would only begin playing the paused song if the screen was on. I tried several different lock screens, music players, widgets etc. No matter what, I experienced this functionality:
1. Music is playing
2. Screen times out after X minutes, or I turn if off with a click of the power button
3. 1 click from the in-line mic button will pause the music
4. If I click again within ~5 seconds, the music will begin to play again
5. If I wait 5-10+ seconds before clicking, the music will not start again with a single click until after I turn the screen back on again.
I’m almost 99% sure that this wasn’t the case on my old Froyo-based ROM, so I wanted to check in to see if this is just standard for everyone.
Thanks!
i've been searching for a decent home solution for bluetooth/smartphone integration into a pretty simple hifi/multimedia setup (media pc feeding 5.1 speakers & tv through s-video).
there seems to be an abundance of low-end portable speaker solutions and the beautiful zikmu from parrot/s+arck which are around a grand (uk £1,000). ouch!
does anyone know of a bluetooth receiver with a 3.5mm jack-out or similar standard audio connects to supply a domestic amp/speaker system through aux-in?
the belkin bluetooth music receiver (just found) appears to fit the bill ... has anyone any experience with this topic? thoughts welcome - especially product recommendations & those to avoid!
thanks & apologies for not posting links to specific products but i'm not allowed as a noob
I have a Jawbone Jambox at work (I sell them actually, but we have one open for display).
I tried it today and it's amazing! A bit costly, but worth every cent. Great sound quality, great design (a given with Jawbone), and has a 3.5mm jack (though I think it's an input, not an output).
Some links for reference:

yes, i'm aware of the jambox but it looks rather small physically but all reviews state how powerful it is ... so, it'll need a demo before parting with the cash. i haven't seen a single poor review, which says something in itself i guess? & yes, the jack soclet is for non-bluetooth input.

Try it, you'll be amazed.
I was looking at the Jambox when I was researching BT speakers for myself... it was in my top 3 choices... but it was just so expensive. I ended up getting a Creative D100, which from the research I did, seemed to be the best for their price. They're a lot cheaper than the Jambox.
I have to say, I was amazed by how nice they sounded for their size. They aren't as portable as the jambox, but I'm happy with them.
They take AA batteries instead of a built-in lithium battery, which I prefer for a speaker that I hope will last several years, as lithium batteries start dying after 300 or so charges, and with AA batteries, it's easy to replace when they die.
It also can run off AC power, and has an aux in port to use with devices that don't have bluetooth.
Overall, I am very happy with the D100.
thx all, zarathustrax's suggestion does look a good affordable-portable solution but i'm primarily looking for a bluetooth feed into an existing hi-fi setup along the lines of the Belkin receiver mentioned initially.
You can always get one of those bluetooth "clips" that has a regular stereo audio-jack for speakers or headphones. It would do the same thing as the belkin receiver, but you can also use it for a handsfree headset for your phone and use it with stereo headphones. I've been looking at this one for a while... it has good reviews, and has a screen that shows caller id and song info (I think), and you can call people back directly from it without getting your phone out or control your music.... http://www.amazon.com/Sonorix-Bluet...phones/dp/B000V1UGZ2/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top
It's about the same price as the Belkin receiver and you can use it for a lot more.
That's my only suggestion for a receiver, but I've never used it, but it has a lot of good reviews on amazon. I'm not sure how it would compare to the Belkin receiver, but you can use it for a lot more.
I have the Sony Ericsson MBS200 and I'm pretty happy with out. It has lineout if you prefer to output it to a bigger more powerful speaker. It's also pretty cheap and sounds really good. And it runs in recharchable battery.
