I've got a Nokia 6310 car kit installed at the moment thats been redundant since I got my XDA2. I've heard about an adapter that can be used to convert this to a bluetooth car kit which will therefore support the XDA2 but I'm slightly skeptical as the manufacturers state it supports headset and handsfree profiles but works better with handsfree.
As the XDA2 only supports headset I was wondering if anyone had tried this setup?

Lintech Bluetooth
Hi slowndes,
I have been using this equipment for some time.
In fact, the adapter supports both handsfree and headset profiles but since the XDAII only supports headset the full capabilities of the adapter are not used.
This means that a lot of echo can be generated and also the noise reduction is not achieved.
In what concerns the bonding and pairing the procedure is faultless.
I hope I have helped you.
Lintech Adapter - for Nokia Cark 91 to Bluetooth
As you will see in my posting under bluetooth ear peices section. I have tried everything, yep I have a lintech adapter if anyone wants to offer me something for it...
However... great product if used with a handsfree profile of a mobile phone, if you have Headset profile your kn*ckered. The Lintech doesn't transfer incoming calls always to the XDA II and you end up ring them back... costing and frustrating....
Get and earpeice, take the gear out the car and have less clutter...

Nigel
Just bought a pair of Bluetrek ST1 Bluetooth Stereo Headphones and paired them up with my Trinity running the Australian WM6 ROM and it works a treat.
Audio quality is good for anything up to about 3 metres and degrades from there. The bass is a little lacking but I'm not sure yet whether this is a bluetooth issue or a headphone issue.
In other great news the remote control functions work completely with both HTC Audio Manager and WMP10 as do the call functions. I am yet to test voice commander compatibility.
All in all a highly recommended buy for a decent but cheap pair (AU$120) of bluetooth stereo headphones. I will report back on battery life and other issues if they crop up.
I have owned ~5 bluetooth headsets over the past 3 - 4 years and currently have been using the Plantronics Voyager 855 for over a year. Reason for this headset is I like to listen to streaming audio (XM & Sirius) on my phone in stereo and mono...this headset was the only one to offer decent quality sound in a compact package (no dongles hanging from my neck etc..) Problem is my headset is showing its age with shortened batt. life and the range is not what it used to be (also sound as a headset was never that great in noisy environments). My frustration is after almost 1.5 yrs I cant find any new headsets that support a2dp and come in a small package (cant be behind the head both sides like the S9). Jawbone headset has had out 3 different new models during the whole time i have had the 855 and still has not come out with one that supports a2dp...same with all other major manufacturers that I looked at. It just seems like now there is no push by manufactures to produce a mono or optional stereo headset in a small size (I love the blueant Q1 but again..no a2dp).
Anyone know of new headsets coming out that fit my description? Also looked at the use of the btaudio.cab file to "make" any BT headset stream audio ...anyone have experience using this? biggest concern in using this cab would be greatly reducing batt life on my BT.
Thanks
I had great success with nokias a2dp bt steroe headsets
Looking on Nokia web site I cant seem to find any in-the-ear headsets types that list A2DP as a feature. What is the model your using?
I'm having great success with my Lubix stereo headset.
I use BH-503 from nokia
On my previous phones diamond and hero i've used the HTC RC E100 remote. It was quite handy, allowed me to control the music player without getting the phone out of my pocket, and the best thing was i could just use my own headphones!
Unfortunatly it has a mini-usb connector. Now that the desire uses a micro USB connector i am looking for something similiar.
Control for music, volume, phone (incl. mic) and where i can plug in my own headphones.
I just love those in ear headphones and don't want to use the ones that came with the desire.
Does anybody know about a remote that would fit my desire and my needs?
Thanks everyone!

Maybe something like these: http://www.lgmobileshop.co.uk/go/ac...10m?NAVID=2DE6D616-3005-BC57-7F4D79DFC6BE490B
Not sure how good/bad they are in terms of quality.

Allthough they are missing those msic control buttons, do you know if it will work with the desire?

The Desire uses a standard micro USB (5-pin micro-USB 2.0) connection, I am just thinking whether or not the Desire even supports audio through the USB...
As far as I know, the Nexus One uses a standard Micro-USB connector, which has no audio support. The only way to listen through an amp is Bluetooth or the headphone jack.

thank you for the provided information. as the nexus one and the desire are very similar, i guess the desire will miss the audio support via usb as well. in all other phones where audio via usb was supported, HTC has used a non standard usb port.
i will keep on searching for a remote that plugs in via the headphone jack. if someone has an idea
cheers,

I think I have a solution.
Jabra BT3030 bluetooth headset. A2DP and AVRCP so you get your stereo sound and also utilise audio controls. Plus it has a 3.5mm jack so you can plug in whatever headphones you want.
Google it. I've got one on the way.
I've been looking for head phones too, and these look like the best offer so far. I am a bit worried about the blue tooth running down the battery though. But let me know how you find these. If all the buttons work with the desire I'll probably get myself a set.
I've been using my Jabra BT3030 and the controls do work. There is a small time lag between pressing a button on the Jabra and it responding.
One good thing I found about the phone (with or without headphones) is that the volume control on the phone works even when the phone has gone to sleep. On my HD2 that didn't happen and it really annoyed me.

So how is the Jabra overall? Worth buying? I've been reading the amazon reviews and some issues have been raised, like the buttons not working with music after you get a call. Do the volume buttons work, and how is the sound quality? Lastly, how bad is it on the battery?
Thanks in advance.

i think i will give it a try, the only thing that worries me is the fact that i would have another thing to charge. I was also thinking about soldering a headphone jack into the standard htc remote that came with the phone. i will keep you up to date.

these look interesting, i've been thinking about looking for some headphones with music controls too...
how is the sound quality with the jabra bt3030, is it just as good as having headphones plugged into the phone?
does running bluetooth hammer the phone battery?
yea i like the look of it, the ability to skip tracks without whipping ur phone out seems great. that always annoyed me with the iphone.. but as i listen to music for hours on end at work (Without a charger handy), i wanna know how much the BT will effect battery life?
id imagine it would decline pretty quickly ?
I have a Jabra BT 3030 which I used extensively with my G1 because I hated carrying around a MiniUSB to audio jack lead.
However I haven't even tried it with my Desire, like someone said its just another thing you need to remember to charge, and as the Desire has a headphone socket (and a micro usb) it would mean carry two leads, or an adaptor to keep them both charged.
That said the Jabra has a fairly decent battery life as long as you remember to turn it off when your not using it.
The sound quality is perfectly acceptable for listening to music unless your a real audiophile, though its obviously not as good as a direct connection to the phone.

Heh. Arrowed.
I use a pair of Sony DR-BY20NX Bluetooth headphones with my desire. headphone battery life is 11hrs.it also has audio controls and can answer call.
fairly cheap but discontinued and becoming hard to find. well worth it though.

I was in CPW last week and the guy who was serving me also had a desire, he was using the Nokia Bh-214 (iirc), its a bluetooth remote with a 3.5mm plug. I tried it out and it sounded good, it has full controls including volume. Its around £40 and available
Also, I have been searching about and found the Sony MW-600 its a bluetooth remote with a 3.5 mm jack, it also comes with headphones and has a built in FM radio. Also has full controls, its around £40 and not out till May.
Personally I am going to wait till the Sony one is out, it has positive reviews and i trust Sony more when it comes to music and the like. Just annoying having to wait!
I am using a cheap BT A2DP, and it works very well. It can be used as BT handsfree or stereo earphone, also has a remote to skip and back the track, that works fine in TuneWiki (but it not for HTC player). The quality of the sound is still far below my KOSS earphone though... but for 26USD and free delivery that thing is really a good deal.
This is the link, but I just found out that is sold out at this moment.

They have another one, almost the same spec but I don't know whether it works as good as the other one.

Ive done a bit of searching here and havent found any posts with the information I'm looking for, they only had suggestions such as "i use these they sound good", not facts.
I'm looking for some bluetooth headphone suggestions along with the input sensitivity and bluetooth version as well as your opinions on satisfaction but mainly something that includes the input sensitivity of the different bluetooth headsets out there that people are using.
I am looking to move to a stereo bluetooth headset from my current bose in-ear headset and looking for something that will be the least disappointing in the move.
I use the Motorla S305 headphones. They are compatible fully with the music player (next, prev, stop, play, and etc) and all the phone options (dial, hang up, mute, and etc). The sound quality is great. They are pretty light weight and don't put too much pressure on your ears. I had them on for 4 hours straight with no issues.
I got a pair on amazon for $33.
I'm not sure what you mean by "input sensitivity." Are you talking about button pushing and what not? I haven't had any input or any mechanical complaints yet..
I just got the Sony Ericsson MW600 and it works really well. The nice thing about it is that I can use any wired earphones with it. It also includes an FM radio tuner.

I've been using the Plantronics 903 BackBeat for about a week now and they're awesome.
I also have the Bose in-ear headphones and was pleased to find that the earpieces on the BackBeat are the same exact style as the Bose (but they're not interchangeable).
The BackBeat is nice and loud, and all the buttons work, as well. One thing that I really like is that you can press the main button on the right earpiece to pause your music and use the built-in microphone to pipe in sound from around you. This way, you don't have to remove the headset to hear things around you. I wear them in an office setting so this feature is really important and works awesome.
As you already know from the Bose, these eargels do a killer job of keeping your music in and other sounds out - I can listen to my music at whatever volume without disturbing others nearby, even in the elevator.
Battery life is decent - I make it through a full workday with no issues, and they charge via microUSB (not proprietary) so I can easily charge them off my laptop if necessary.
Not sure what specifics you're looking for, but I'd highly recommend the BackBeat.
thanks for the input guys
as far as the input sensitivity i was thinking about the ohms and decibal values that the headphones can push and what frequencies the phones are rated on producing
a friend at the office has the 903 backbeat and he was going to let me try them, i work in an office environment as well and think they might work, just need to hear them first. The only worry I have is I also want to take them to the gym with me and worry about that loopy in the back bouncing too much, which is why im also looking at the s9-hd headset but have no one to reference to try them out.
