[Q] Bluetooth Audio Quality - Fairphone

I've searched but the issue has not been brought up yet afaik.
So i bought a bluetooth usb headset, which also has an audio-cable connection if needed when battery is low. this allowed some poor experience:
the audio sent via bluetooth is terrible compared to using the cable. i've read that its down to mp3 being compressed again and then sent via the BT signal.
I've seen solutions for other phones using software or messing around with some parameters (e.g. bitpool from 32 to 53 or whatever). what can i do to improve audio quality as this definetly just makes listening to musik via BT impossible?
the headset is a philips sbh9100
cheerio

does no one have an idea?

Bluetooth reciever for sending Audio to Hifi?

Hi,
I have a HTC Touch which I am currently using the Pocket Player software to stream my music from my PC which is located upstairs. I can connect the Touch to my Stereo amplifier through a USB/Jack cable and play the music through my Hifi speakers rather than headphones but I was wondering if it would be possible for me to transmit the audio to my amplifier by way of Bluetooth. It would cerntainly allow me the freedom of changing tracks on my phone sitting in my armchair rather than sat next to my amplifier through a cable. I.E Streaming music from my PC through Wi-FI, via my HTC Touch through bluetooth.
Hope this makes sense. Has anyone done it and is there a noticible difference in sound quality when sending music by bluetooth rather than a wired connection.
I have seen various Bluetooth type devices on ebay and amazon that claim to do this type of thing but as I have never tried Bluetooth I am a little sceptical and not sure exactly what is required. I assume that as my Touch can send Bluetooth beam I would only need a reciever to connect the Jack plug from my amp, is this correct? Or would it be better to buy a jack transmitter/receiver for the job.
I don't want to spend a whole lot of money doing this just to test so can anyone recomend a device.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Bluetooth streaming at low bitrate?

I use a Sony Receiver in my car which is bluetooth compatible. When I've used an iPhone and a Droid 2 with it in the past the audio streaming has been great, but I've noticed when testing it with an Arrive and with an HD7 it sounds like it's streaming at a low bitrate. It gets kind of crackly. Does anyone know if this is a known issue or if there is some sort of setting I can use to adjust it?
I've actually wondered if they dropped the bitrate on bluetooth audio streaming with the NoDo update, or remixed it. My memory may be failing me, but I swear I had a better audio streaming to my car stereo and bluetooth headphones on my Samsung Focus before the update. It sounds like the highs are mixed more sharply now, with missing mid/bass emphasis. This is to a nice JBL 8-speaker system in the car, and a pair of Sleek Audio SA6s via a Jabra 3030. Anyone else noticed a change in bluetooth audio streaming since NoDo?

Increasing Bluetooth(a2dp) sound quality

So... I just recently installed a bt a2dp compatible stereo receiver in my car and when bluetooth audio is connected it sounds mediocre/ok.. BUT I remember several years ago on windows mobile phones being able to increase bitpool or something in the registry that largely improved a2dp sound quality .. I've been out of the loop on A2dp as of late .. is there any similar hacks or roms that provide higher quality a2dp? Anyone... anyone....
What type of headunit. I know that sony has the option when you adjust bass/treble, etc that a bluetooth option is available to boost the input via BT. I used that in my wife's vehicle.
It's a Kenwood Excelon receiver / KDC-x996 .. and I am able to adjust treble/bass on the headunit when connected via a2dp .. and it does sound ok.. but I remember when adjusting the bitstream/bitpool the audio quality would go from ok and flat to near cd quality .. it really was very noticeable.

Bluetooth Audio One Sided

When I connect to media audio via bluetooth in my car, I can only get audio out of the left side speakers. This is repeatable on different apps that play music. When I play a radio station in my car I get sound out of both sides.
What can I check to help diagnose this problem and hopefully fix it?
Thanks.
Does anybody else have this problem?
Does your car audio system support A2DP stereo Bluetooth profile ? Probably it does, otherwise I don’t think you can stream audio with just the Hands-free (HFP) profile (which is a low quality link meant only for calls). Mine works fine in stereo with my car’s audio system. Try deleting all the BT settings from your car and initialize everything from the beginning.
Iam verry sure that your audio car not support A2DP because in my car i can use for stereo...try to see the specification for your car audio bluetooth..

It works fine when I use my Galaxy Nexus. This makes me believe it supports A2DP. This problem is unique to the One X for me. Did I get a bad phone?
Also, when I crank the balance over to the side that doesn't work I can hear it a little bit, but it's crackly and distorted.
EDIT: Problem solved. Re-seated the wiring in the sound system and everything is fine now.

Bluetooth audio

Im having an issue with audio quality on bluetooth audio music , on any touchwiz rom it sounds compressed and awful the only rom i found it sounded good on was cm10 but i missed the functionality of spen. Both roms were ran on same bluetooth soundbar.
So my question is have any of you noticed the bluetooth audio quality or is it something on my end, if you have are there any solutions to improve the audio quality.

I am running JediX11 and i use PowerAmp music player. It sounds great and has a 10 band EQ If you try it o don't recommend using the "stereo x" setting it adds more of that compressed audio sound. I use Bluetooth to connect to my car stereo and a portable speaker set i have. I can tell no distinct difference between the BT audio and the headphone jack. I also uninstalled beats audio, Its just another layer of equalization software that can really degrade sound quality (i tried every possible setting before i removed it).
