As the title, what devices are people using to succesfully stream their music from into wireless Buetooth headphones?l
I've done it from Siemens SX-66 (Blue Angel) and Qtek 9100 (Wizard) to the Motorola HT-820 and Zonet ZUB8100 headphones. The SX-66 runs WM2003 2nd Edition and the Widcomm BT stack, and the 9100 runs WM5 and the MS BT stack.
In my experience, what matters most is the headphones -- the Moto work quite well both as stereo headphones and a phone headset, whereas the Zonet is just OK as headphones and a crappy headset.

I want to thank you for the Tornado cab file and the idea of installing A2DP on my TMO MDA, it's something that should have been available by now by TMO. :wink: I know that the Tornado is not really designed for the Wizard, but your right it does work! I also have the upgraded 2.17 ROM which works great. But after complete and thourough experimentation with the Tornado A2DP, the MDA, and the HT820 the Stereo sound is terrible.
8) I successfully followed the installation instructions. Of course you do not see any real changes, except those done to registry, until you buy a BT Stereo Headset. Then you see the [ ] Wireless Stereo option. I also confirmed WITHOUT Tornado's A2DP, you don't get the "Wireless Stereo" option, but you can get sound on your HT820, if your patient and waste enouph time clicking the connect button, or smart enouph to use a utility called BTSoundON, but the sound you get will be mono on sterroids. However, with Toranados' A2DP you DO get STEREO, but the quality is not very good!
At first I thought maybe the HT820 was possibly not a very good BT headset. The sound was low, although volume was as high as possible, and the bass was not very good. This was testing Mp3's at 128kbs. So I tested A2DP using TCPMP, and it obviously made a big difference with the HT820 especially playing around with the equilaizer and preamp boosters, settings.
Then I put the HT820 headset to the test. I swaped the HT820 and the mini Stereo Headphones included with MDA. I did this in critical guitar moments of some music, and it was obvious that the stereo quality was much superior with the mini Jack Stereo Headset. In every case, with every song, the mini Jack Stereo Headphones won heads up, and actually made the HT820 sound terrible.
But was it the HT820, or the Tornado A2DP? I connected the HT820 to my BT dongle on my windows XP. The sound blew me away, it was AWESOME on the HT820. As a matter of fact I was able to walk half way across the house and still got music from PC. Furthermore, I was able to receive a cell call on MDA, while listening to music on the PC, and the BT820 handled it incredible, also confirming that it could work on two seperate paired devices, incredible experience! :lol:
My humble conclusion: The HT820 is a solid BT Stereo Headset that has incredibly good sound when tested with softeware that supports it. Games sound incredible on the MDA with Tornado's A2DP. But not sure if just using BTSoundOn and not A2DP would give same results with games. TCPMP deffinatly makes a BIG diference on the MDA with Tornado's A2DP and HT820 Stereo. But I will be happy when TMO or some Developer comes up with the official Wizard/Vario A2DP.
Thanks for the memories anyway, I will keep the A2DP on MDA for now, incase I find myself in a situation where I don't have the mini Jack Headphones available. And I will defenetly keep the HT820 cause they sound awesome on PC, and great combination of Music on PC and Cell calls from MDA. :lol:
Interesting post. I've got the HT820 on order and it should be here next week sometime. ITMT I'm using HP FA303's with my 8125 (Wizard) and the sound is terrific! Which, of course, leads us to a conundrum:
given:
HT820 is a great sounding BT Stereo headset
FA303 is a great sounding BT Stereo headset based on the fact that it sounds great on Wizard
Therefore, one would think that the HT820 should sound great on a Wizard too....
I guess I'll just have to wait and see.... I'll test the two headsets side by side when it arrives.
Something you could try would be to lift the relevant DLLs off the Qtek Beta Rom which had A2DP. Those would be Wizard specific for sure.
The HT820 does sound great on the Wizard -- I installed the Tornado A2DP hack on my Qtek 9100 earlier today. FWIW, the HT820 also sounds great on the Blue Angel (which is why I bought the 820 in the first place).
Hey Guys,
I have both the MDA Vario with the Mr. Clean rom and the new HTC TyTN.
Both are paired with my Jabra BT-620s stereo headset. (not at the same time)
With the HTC TyTN I have nothing but hickups while playing a simple MP3 from memory.
The MDA-Vario plays the music fluent and witout any hickups..
All things have been tried, distance, open or closed keyboard, etc, etc.
Both units are hard-reset and empty.
I have compared the registry settings on both machines and made the HTC Tytn the same as my MDA-Vario, but the hickups keep appearing. (Some small dword settings altered).
On my qtek 9000 the Jabra works fine without any hickups.
Are there any other users with a stereo bluetooth headset having these problems?
I'm a bit worried since the unit has no 2.5 of 3.5mm headset plug, having a BT stereo headset was my saviour.. :-(
Thanks,
Rudi

Hi,
You said you are using the tytn with the 590A plantronics bluetooth headset and no problems? you are telling me the sound quality is good---even when it's with drums and bass? and you have no hiccups? did you alter any settings?
I am using PLantronics 640 (mono) and it is all good
I have a cab file in the TYTN forum that you may download and try (it improves the quality settings (and disables voice command) but in the thread I have written the regsettings that you may wanna take a look at ...
If you, after you changes the settings, feel that it is stutteringm, lower the quality setting, from 58 to like 40 or similar then you got longer range but the sound quality degrades a little (in a mono headset it doesn't really matter )

Unfortunately, as has also been pointed out in my latest A2DP / AVRCP compatibility-related article ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=279459 ), some A2DP headphones are not compatible with some PDA models. For example, my 590A isn't compatible with the x51v and the HTC Universal and the A2DP on the HTC Wizard is pretty ****ty ... (fortunately, I too have the hx4700 to listen to music)
For using my car handsfree Nokia CK-1W (only supporting handsfree profile) I have upgraded my Qtek 2020 to WM2005. The phone and the car-kit works perfect together. But when I am running TomTom6 on my PDA it´s not running as well as before on WM2003. So now I am looking for a WM2003(se) rom with a bluetooth handsfree profile (not headset profile) like in WM2005. Can somebody help me with that?
Forget using a Mobile Phone what I want to know is does a Bluetooth headset exist that will pair with TomTom Navigator v6 installed on a pocket pc?
Well, when I pair my Nokia HS12w with my Hermes for audio playback (A2DP), all audio from the Hermes is passed through to the headset. I suspect TomTom directions would be the same.
My guess is that this will work with any A2DP capable headset.

Hello,
I've used Bluetooth a2dp with a Hama Rx 2.(It's a Bluetooth a2dp receiver http://www.amazon.de/Hama-RX-Bluetoo.../dp/B000K9KQ8W) a long time with my Hermes. When upgrading to Win 6.5 and now with Leo (HD 2) i can't hear music anymore over a2dp. The device connects, it shows the Stereo audio Profile but i can't hear anything. With my Motorolla HT820 everything works perfect!!! Any Ideas? I've searched the forum, but didn't find a solution.
Update: Just tested with a touch pro 2 on Win Mob. 6.1 and works perfect??!! Must be something with 6.5 or Manilla.
