Bluetooth Headset for XDAII - Your opinions please

Hi People,
I'm looking to get potentially 3 Bluetooth Headsets for XDAII (for staff)
And I don't want any moaning once I get them that the quality is bad
Could you post your personal experiences of ones you have purchased and are using please. Would like some recommendations if possible.

I have a Sony-Erricsson HBH-35. Works like a charm.
No rebonding, it reconnects wether you'r out of range, the phone or headset has been switched off etc...

I have a Motorola HS810.
It's nice and small (even with the boom open). The audio quality is excelent. However, what really nags me is that it takes too long to boot the device when you open the boom, so that in most occasions it takes too long to connect to the XDA and I can't pick up a call in time.
Also, sometimes it simply doesn't connect to the device after I pick up a call on the XDA and I can't transfer the call to the headset.
Anyone with the same problems with this headset ?

My HBH65 works absolutely perfectly with the XDA2. Original XDA2 radio & Bluetooth stack - just as it came out of the box. I *never* need to rebond the two devices, even if they're switched off, out of range or whatever, and I can walk around my (small) house using the headset and leave the XDA2 on the desk.
Only criticism is the battery life on the HBH65, which is pants. I have to charge it every other day, at best, without much useage.
Still, it's *very* comfortable and the sound quality and volume is good in quiet environments. In the car it's a struggle, but that could be because I have a car with a 6 litre engine and no exhaust silencers...

I have a Jabra 250
Works perfect, never any bonding, or lost call problems, and as set 250 minutes of standby time, very small, and looks really smart. After I bought one, my wife wanted one too.

Thanks for the response all, much appreciated !
I opted for the Sony-Erricsson HBH-35
I got them from expansys and got them the next day! .... they are great. The call quality is excellent. I think the boom helps to eliminate background noise as the mic doesn't have to be too strong.
Now i just need to go to the "using it" forum to find out how to use voice dialing :s

Logitech BT headset is the best !

I really like the Bluespoon Cameleon. Works very well. Only about $100. Much less obtrusive than other Bluetooth headsets. You can change it's colors, which is cool. It's much smaller and lighter than other headsets as well.
It was so good, that I thought I'd go one step further and get the Bluespoon Digital, which I just started using. The Bluespoon Digital seems to get the call transferred instantly (quicker than the Cameleon), and it's about the size as the end of my thumb.
I havn't had the chance to try out the automatic gain control (changes volume of speaker based on ambient noise), or the digital noise cancellation (blocks out slow moving ambient sound).. but those features sound mighty nice!

About bluespoon, I have a pb, seems really good when I make a call but impossible to use it when i receive a call, no transfer to the headset

What's a pb? With the Bluespoons, you press a button on the headset to transfer the call to it.

really doesn't work, dunno why !!!!!
If you have an advice, I'll really appreciate it

HB 35
I too Have the sony ericsson hb 35 top h/set well worth the investment

Did you try a hard reset of the Bluespoon? Also a soft reset according to the instructions in the manual? After a soft reset you'll have to recreate the bond.

Plantronics M3000 is the best one I could fine. Everyone would always tell me they couldn't hear me. The M3000 sounds very clear, connects as a Bluetooth Device and battery life is around 2 days.
Very small around the ear, no cords, or mess. I like it.

Using Alternative Headphones With The Diamond

I have seen a few posts where people say they are using their own headphones with the HTC touch diamond. I have a great set of Bose headphones I bought a while ago. What do I need to buy to be able to use these with the phone, just to listen to my MP3's not the radio obviously.
Thanks,
Roy.

You can buy the RC E100 or a ExtUSB to 3.5mm adapter.
I'm using the RC E100 - it's really good. Although, the cable is very long and then add your headphone length to that and you end up with a VERY long cable.
So I cut mine, resoldered the wires, and then used heat shrink to make it all look nice. Happy camper now.
It took hours and did my head in though.

Thanks the RC E100 sounds good, I checked it out on EBay but they are only shipping from Hong Kong (I'm UK) and I dont fancy that. Where abouts did you pick yours up?

Do you use it on the diamond? Is it working properly (music controls especially)? I'm asking, because it's not listed as compatible accessory on htc.com.

I use it, i bought it from Expansys for about £23 with a £10 off voucher. Just buy one of the Kaiser or Touch ones, theyre all the same item just under a different name on the website.
It works fine, i have some sony earphones that are meant ot be used with a remote so they have a really short lead so they work great with this. You can just leave your diamond in your pocket in standby and listen to music using the controls on the remote.

LOL I have some Sony's that I had to cut and resolder, otherwise they whole thing was way too long. I ended up shortening the cable on the RC E100 too. That was difficult!
I'm very happy with the purchase though and using that plus some good headphones makes the diamond sound really good.

hi guys, i have a question about the rc e100 remote. if you are listening to music with it and the diamond is asleep (ie. screen is off). does adjusting the volume or changing tracks or whatever wake the screen up? for me this will be decider whether i get one or not.

Im glad to tell you no it does not wake the screen up. It acts like a perfect MP3 player, if you turn off the screen and then push buttons on the remote the device will look like nothing happened and the sceen will stay off while still respoding to button pushes.

sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet. exactly what i was hoping to hear. thanks m8.

My RC E100 remote arrived couple days ago and I'm using it with my nice Bose earphones. Have to say it works a treat, once I sorted out the bug with the Audio Booster, well just turned the dam thing off. "MAKE SURE YOU DON'T USE THE AUDIO BOOSTER" it's **** but i'm sure you knew that anyways.
I'm going to shorten the cable on the actual remote, plan to do that tomorrow (should be interesting!).
The only other things I'd like to do is maybe install that SRS WOW program, maybe then I can mess around with the music settings, but I've read this isn't working yet with the Diamond, anyone know another music equalizer I can install?
Oh and lastly I spent ages putting what music I wanted onto the internal memory of the phone. Making sure all the tracks we're under the correct artist and album etc. Problem is even tho through the phones explorer shows them as they should be, when looking through windows media player library only a handfull of the tracks are sorted into correct folders. I'e most of the tracks are just under "unknown" this is fairly useless as how am i meant to search for an album by a certain artist? Why aren't they all set-up the way they are in explorer mode? This is frustrating as it means 80% of my music is simply stored under unkonwn artist and then track name!
Anyone come across this on their hanset and knows a way around it?
Thanks guys, Roy.

speaking of mp3 playback, has anyone noticed that every 5 to 10 minutes or so, sound will skip or pause just for a split second. for me this happens on both the audio manager and on CorePlayer. it has also happened with the stock ROM my phone came with (1.34) and the current cooked ROM i am using. would appreciate it if someone knows a solution to this problem, i hope it's not because of the AudioBooster. as the Diamonds volume output is pissweak without it.
oh and Roy, i think the bug with audio booster, where there is a complete lack of bass and sound is all tinny like. was solved in 1.93 ROM.

Hi, can't say I've noticed the skipping part. But maybe I haven't listened to anything long enough, i'll keep my ears open.
Basically yeah to fix the audio booster thing which I had originally turned on while listening to the radio. All I did which I read on here was to turn on mp3 player and start listening. Goto audio booster and turn it off, then on and then off again and save. This as I know it disables the bug from the audio booster and it now sounds ace. Woule like to install a proper music equalizer if I can find one.
I hear all this stuff and have seen loads of threads about it but what actually is upgrading my ROM? Why would I want to change it? I have installed various Diamond Tweaks and Advance Configs etc to speed up performance and mess about with a few settings to suit my tastes.
Why would i want to install a new ROM?
Roy.

Yep it seems to be finally fixed. Now it is a proper (and pretty darn good!) mp3 player.

Cheers for the link derinahon. With the compulsory recorded posting and insurance, it's still under £10 - cheapest I've seen anywhere

Okey, i havnt listened to music yet on my new diamond.
The batterytime sucks, how can i listen to music then? I will have to load it every second hour? (((((((

They're all the same, there is only one E100.

Just upgraded to A TC--problem and a couple questions..

I just got a brand new crusie and I love this thing. I had a Tilt, then the origianl 3450 Touch and now the crusie.
I've got it all set up and it seems to be working great on my AT&T network. modded someof my setting with cabs/ htc customiser.
The only problem that is KILLING me is the bluetooth performance is HORRIBLE. Both with my Motorola stereo S9 headset and my Jabra XJ10. The stereo moto set break in and out if I move a little or put the phone in my pocket. If it's right next to me not moving it's ok. If i run with it in my pocket, NO chance!
The regular jabra works ok with the TC right next to me as well, but if I walk even 15 feet away it just breaks up.
Both of these worked GREAT on my touch?
I remember when I had my Tilt there was a reg edit and an option in the Kaiser tweak for bluetooth performance. Has anyone had any problems with BT performance?? Any way I can Fix this????
Also, I'm either in E, G or H. Att here in chicago has a huge 3G network that supports HSPDA. I assume E is edge. Is G 3G or GPRS?? When my TC is in H is that the 3G or HSPDA? I don't see a 3G symbol?
I really an very impressed with the crusie, but REALLY need to figure out the BT issue as I use my jabra and moto S9 EVERYDAY...
Any help would be highly appreciated!!

You have installed the bluetooth hot fixes from htc.com?

I installed both the BT hot fix cabs.. The problems in the hot fixes (when the device goes into sleep mode) etc is not what I am experiencing but I tried them anyhow.
If I remember in the kaiser tweak there was some setting for bluetooth band width for performance?? Can we use the kaiser tweak with the TC? I assume not.
Is there a value in the reg that can be editing for this???
thanks again

FYI -- I have the same issue with my S9's. They worked great with my Touch, my Shadow, and my Dash but they work awful with the Touch Cruise. You pretty much have to hold the device up, near your head, to get a constant connection. My Plantronic 855's work fine though. Given that it's S9-specific, I don't think you'll find a registry tweak to fix it, though I could be wrong. If I had to guess, I'd say it's something that needs fixing with the S9's, not the Cruise -- wish they'd made them firmware upgradeable

Fixing Polaris choppy bluetooth stereo
I am using an O2 XDA Orbit 2 which is the UK O2 networks variant of the Polaris/Touch Cruise. I experienced the exact same problem with choppy stereo bluetooth sound on a pair of Sony Ericsson HBH-DS970 headphones (which performed perfectly with my original HTC Touch). I performed the following registry tweaks and this seemed to improve performance significantly:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Bluetooth\A2DP\Settings :
Name: UseJointStereo
Value (DWORD): 1
Delete these two key/values
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Bluetooth\A2DP\Settings:
- BitPool
- MaxSupportedBitPool

I will give that a shot and I'll let you know.. What is the bit pool and the max??

Ok---
Under my settings, the use jointstereo DWORD value is already 1? what was yours?
should I still delete maxsupported and bitpool completely? any idea of what those do??

You want to turn joint stereo off, and that would be changing the number from a 1 to a 0. That won't help with distance, but it will improve the sound quality considerably. It's pretty much the same with any WinMo device -- for some reason joint stereo is turned on as a default. I returned a lot of stereo bluetooth headphones before I found this setting. I thought they were all crap, turned out to be the setting. If you Google 'bluetooth' 'joint stereo' you'll find info on how the setting degrades sound quality.
It's a shame this is turned on by default, the average user will never be poking around in their registries and wouldn't have a clue as to why stereo bluetooth on their WinMo device sounds so bad.
I've not changed the other settings the post mentioned though, if you do let us know how it worked out. Personally, I've switched to wired earbuds -- the best sound quality of all

UseJointStereo is set to 1 (this was the default setting); I don't actually know what the other two key/value pairs function is. I did some google research on choppy bluetooth stereo sound a while back after purchasing my XDA Orbit 2 and experiencing the terrible bluetooth performance. Apparently, the effect of making the changes I suggested is to improve the overall quality of the audio and reduce the 'choppiness' (intermittent signal connection/disconnections).
Both BitPool and MaxSupportedBitPool should be deleted (i.e. both key name and value) for the full effect of this tweak.
For more information on these registry keys just google BitPool, MaxSupportedBitPool, usejointstereo and polaris (all in the same search query).

I use sony bluetooth dr-bt21g stereo headphone. Installed hotfix and done reg tweaks. If i put my phone in my pocket it breaks up really bad. If i have my phone next me; amazing sound.
i think moral of the story, if ur on a plane or in the house then bluetooth headphones are good. If ur out washing the car, jogging or even walking they are crap so i have to revert back to wired ones

But I'm searching high and low to see if there is a fix for this. I cant believe that the Athena had very decent bluetooth connection. No problems at all. But switching over to Polars, I have to consider giving up my bluetooth headset. That aint good.
Is it an hardware problem? Is it possible the device is to small? I dont know
I hope they fix this!!!!

i dont know! it is bloody annoying when i paid over 50£ for my headphones. I tested in on my imate jamin (now with a2dp) and its the same so i dont think its the cruise. I just think bluetooth has not evolved enough yet, just a thought tho and i will test, wonder if the wifi conection interferes with bluetooth signal?

OOOOOHH.. Good insight timmymarsh. I havent even test thoroughly the wifi.
Good thinking buddy, I'm going to try that...turning off wifi and turning on and see if there is any difference!!!
BTW...thats good to know that it might not be the TC. I read somewhere on the Polaris thread that the bluetooth setting on this phone were suppose to be set up for newer bluetooth earpieces.....I dont know how true that is!!!!

I have never had an issue with bluetooth or wifi on my TC But I never have both on at once, If I am using bluetooth, wifi is turned off and vice versa. In the past I have had really big issues using lets say ericcson phones with moto headsets but if I upgraded the headset to the latest firmware they worked fine. I really do think that the issue is the headset and not the phone.

mm i really should learn not to post after drinking wine hence removed

Bizzare test....
I havent tested properly turning wifi off when bluetooth headset on yet, but yesterday i was washing my car in trousers that had no pockets, so i stuck my phone down my pants against my ass (ha ha). Reception was brilliant when i was moving around; previously when i had put my device in my trouser pocket the reception was terrible. I guess my body was acting as an ariel extending or improving the bluetooth signal hence the good reception.
Extreme i know, but at least you next have a valid excuse when someone says "is that something in your pocket or are you just pleased to see me......."

I did eventually test the bluetooth signal and quality with both wifi on and off and both my polaris and prophet.
With wifi on the signal was terrible when deivce was in my pocket, with wifi switched off the signal was good. The signal only started breaking up when with wifi was swtiched on and searching for an access point.
I now only use a2dp with wifi switched off. Im a happy bunny. btw my prophet never signal never broke once when jigging around the room, my polaris did a lil bit even with the wifi off, but there was a marked difference!!

Glad that worked out for you. For me, WiFi had no effect at all, on or off, the signal with S9's are just as bad and the Plantronic 855's just as good.

Hows the FM Radio?

Well my pair of fuzes should be arriving on Monday or Tuesday so I'm beginning to wonder about some of the other hardware parts. I keep reading that the FM Radio uses the headset as an Antenna. I have a Hermes and the included abysmal headset that came with that, and I have so little intention of using the one that I'm about to get it might make small children cry, so heres the question of the day:
Does the FM Radio work acceptably without the headset? If not, does it work with an adapter and *REAL* headphones?
Not a deal breaker either way, but it would be cool to know.

Hi, I've a Touch Pro on Vodafone UK flashed with ROMeOS² Italian Rom (just to let you know ). I'm using on it the headset controller that i had with my previous phone, an O2 Stellar (Tytn2) and a Sennheiser CX300. Absolutely no problem, and the sound looking great!
Now on your other questions.FM Radio is not working without headset, so you have to put them in the plug, and then FM Radio program will start. Otherwise, if for you is a problem having headset inserted in the phone, you can buy an headset controller (on ebay have a really low price!).
About the headset quality, I had before of Touch Pro, a tytn and a tytn2, and can confirm that the quality is the same, so I never used those!
PS: sorry for my english, I hope you undertand what I'm saying!

I live fairly close to New York City, so this may in fact be a YMMV. How far off are most of your radio stations?

better then the diamonds radio

Radio program works great for me. It just depends on what kind of area you are in like the poster said a few above me with buildings in NYC. Headphones are ok that I got with my Hermes.

The other route to take of course is streaming radio but that will probably take more battery life than FM.

i DL the one for the fuse and my headset doesnt work as an antenna..... i wonder if i used another phone headset if i could pick up any other radio stations????

is there a cab file for the fm radio?

I recently was passing by Phoenix AZ and picked up an FM station when I was about 150 miles away and held it until I was 150 mile past Phoenix. Maybe the conditions were just perfect, maybe my headphones are a very effective antenna but whatever the reason, I was impressed with the performance.

It works great, you need a adapter for your headphone though. It comes with the phone.

Strictly speaking that's not true - mine works fine on 'speaker mode' with just one of these in it.
I use some retractable ear buds (also from ebay) & it works fine. I get a good signal on most UK stations of note.
I also stream world radio from the links posted here here, which is fine for talk radio even at GPRS "2 bar" speeds using Windows Media Player and in comparison of course, the FM player is much better.

Headset bluetooth connection problem

Hi friends, i bought yesterday a bluetooth samsung hm1500 headset (2.1 bt + edr)
http://www.mytrendyphone.com/shop/samsung-hm1500-bluetooth-27371p.html
and i can't connect with tg01. The phone cannot detect it. I tried everything for hours , tried with all available roms but still nothing.
Can anyone help please ?

Use the traditional problem solving procedure
1) Test your new headset with another phone (friend, relative....)
2) Test your TG01 with another Bluetooth device
Good luck! Tell us the results

Motorola are the best
Bluetooth headphones are real fussy. Motorola's pretty much work with everything I've found.

Thanks friends for the replies, i send it back, doa, i tried with 3 other mobile phones and nothing with noone conected only with my laptop was possible to connect, very special bluetooth.

Has anyone found a bluetooth headset that one can have a decent conversation with others without having problems of not being heard loudly? I have two headsets, a cheap ebay hong-kong one and a Nokia BH-215. People complain hearing me very low with both. If i get away from the phone but within the bt radius things get even worse and don't get better even if i get close to the phone again. I think it's because of the phone and not the headset.

Did you try SRS 3 cabs install?

No but i used it once and i remeber that it messed up my bt connection. But that was back in 6.5.x rom. Maybe i''l give it a shot now that i'm on 6.1.

Hi Jonous,
I'm using it with the other radio - what was effectively the 'Italian' stock radio 0300.76
It's difficult to compare notes with this sort of thing remotely... but I'd confrm that there is 'some' degree of background noise present even on this high-end BT headset device when compared direct to a hard wired uUSB connection (into the same earphones - per my sig). Like any audio device, I'd recommend keeping the volume level on any element in the chain to < 60% in order to keep noise down.
DEspite the above, I'd regard the MW600 as a quite capable piece of kit in conjunction with the TG01 giving extra flexibility - but it is a trade-off to some extent with quality.

Hehe i feel like an idiot, i enbarked on an endless journey of flashing and flashing different radios and trying out the sound quality of each one cause bt headset is very important for me. When i got to 0300.76 suddenly sound was crystal clear! On the 1st test call. On the second call i was bearly heard, crappy sound again. Then it it struck to me...I remembered that sometimes when you press the answer call button of the headset the sound is transfered to the phone...I thought "no it can't be...if this is it i'm a real idiot!!!" And yes, when i pressed the button again sound was transfered to the headset and sound was magnificent! So the lousy sound i got with all other roms was because i was trying to be heard through the phone's micrphone which was some 2-3 away from me hahaha so other end of line heard little or nothing.
Well enough said, this headset is brilliant, loud n clear sound, caller id, fm radio everything! well almost, i wish it had vibration too but don't care, i'm happy with my buy! Thanks again

You are most welcome - I'm delighted you are up and running and happy with the S-E MW600 headset. There are so many variables with these things as well as the subjective element wjhen it comes to perceived audio quality that it is difficult to translate one person's experience to another. Great news

the Sony MW600 is really great !
But don´t forget to increase the bitrate of the streaming codec.
I modified/added this values in HLKM\Software\Microsoft\Bluetooth\A2DP\Settings
BitPool 65
MinSupportedBitPool 65
MaxSupportedBitpool 65
SampleRate 48000
SubBands 8
Blocks 16
Allocation 1
UseJointStereo 1
Unfortunately Track names are not submitted like with SE or some HTC phones

Hi Friends!!!
I have also the same problem with a BT car.
And the problem is like it´s been described (sound very loud in the microphone)....
I remember that in my I780, I changed some settings (don´t remember if it was in Hardware or registry).
Anyone had a solution?
