I was just wondering is there a way you connect 2 bluetooth headsets at once because while i was browsing i came across a program that allows you to listen to all sound that runs through your phone. Which since i gave up bluetooth headsets, i cant verify if it works. But if it does, instead of buying those (big) bluetooth stereo headset or those (wired) stereo bluetooth heaset, I can just use small wireless normal bluetooth headsets.
Honestly, buying a good pair of regular headsets to listen to music or other quailty sound on will cost you MUCH more than buying 1 normal A2DP supporting ones (unless you already have 2 headsets )
i thought this was goint to be a request to share music via 2 stereo BT headsets. Now that would be useful.
By default, you can't connect 2 headsets to your device at the same time.
sharing audio between 2 different headsets would be even harder than running 2 mono ones at the same time.
you're invited to develop this idea a bit further and suggest a development in the Dev&Hack section. hopefully, someone would go for it.
Hi, unfortunately i wouldn't know where to start with this and as i don't have a BT stereo head set, it's not something i would actually find a use for. Don't really use my Trinity for audio, it was easier to just get a large iPod, apologies for bad language , and use that.

If only that were true, i just spend far too much time on here.
hi
you can connect to 2 bt headsets but only to differentiate their settings. one would be in handsfree mode while the other in wireless headset mode. but sharing both settings (e.g. handsfree, thus sharing the audio) is not possible. the moment you bond the second bt headset, it severes the first one's connection.
hope that helps
I think he meant sending audio to both at the same time...
I can't believe there isn't any developement on this yet...

Is it possible to use a bluetooth headset for ALL audion not just the phone? I already use Pocket Skype but I want to be able to use my bluetooth headset - since it doesn't consider the Skype to be a phone call - how can I make it use the headset for all sounds produced by the device?
All help and advice appreciated. All good advice and help appreciated more. All useful advice and help... ah, now we're talking!
M
think people have been able to get headsets working for normal audio using the broadcom or vidcomm bluetooth stack insted of the ms one
but it also seems that those bluetooth stacks dont support the headset profile so people cant use their headset for phoning anymore
Interesting catch 22 - phone bluetooth or other sounds bluetooth - but not all sounds bluetooth.
Isn't it silly things like this that make a great device irritating?!(Rhetorical)
yes it's silly
guess it comes down to ms not liking bluetooth which they dident invent themselfs so their stack is kinda thin
not sure what vidcomm and the rests's excuse is
i personaly bougth the bluetake iPhono headset which have a dongle which makes it possible for me to use my headset to work with both
phone and music

If what you say is correct, then there is a bit of a conundrum. The telephone operates via the bluetooth stack - so how does the gps receiver connect? There is apparently a way for the PC element of the device to use bluetooth, so why not audio?
I think using an external Btooth transmitter id a bit OTT. This is a software fix requirement.

Hi, I am thinking to buy the Bletake Bluetooth I-Phono BT420Ex + BT430EX with my Qtek 2020 / Xda II, And I want to know it will work properly... my ROM it´s 2.20CHS.
And if yours answer it´s positive, how?
You connet the audio dongle to the output of the pda and the headset with the pda by BT?
Thanks
yes as bluetooth headset it's supported
and the xda dont have to support the dongle
as far as the xda see it the dongle is just a wired headset
the dongle take care of everything wireless
heck if you want you can connect the dongle to something else
and still have it as bluetooth headset for the xda at the same time
when you get a call the headset disable the audio from the dongle and act as a normal bluetooth headset
Hi,
according to this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?p=245461#245461 , I assume that you have this bt headphone and you have used it with satisfactory results...
Now, I still have a few doubts :
1) Do you connect the dongle to the pda and use it to listen music?
2) You use the bt manager of the pda as a handsfree?
3) Or do you use the dongle with the pda to both listen to music, and talk on the phone?
4) Or do you never use the dongle at all...?
5) Did you upgrade the bt manager of the pda? If this is true, where can I do it in the forum?
Thanks for all...
1 yes
2 yes
3 only needed when i listen to music
i just use bluetooth tools
and the org ms bluetooth stack
if one have a bluetooth stack which support a2dp
the dongle is not needed at all
Thanks!!
Many thanks for your patient and reply.

What bluetooth headsets will work with the touch diamond?
other question: why should there be any headsets not working?
i have a really cheap but nice looking samsung headset, no problem to get paired with the diamond. should work with any other headset, too!?
My existing is just a cheap iTouch bluetooth headset and it works perfectly.
I don't think Diamond has any problem to work with other brands.
I have an old Motorola Bluetooth headset (4 Years) and it will not pair with my Diamond. Looks like its time to upgrade to a Jawbone!! hehehe
i have the jabra bt3030
its a stereo bluetooth headset working on A2DP
works great and looks awesome!!
So can I listen to music through any bluetooth headset (that has headsets to play music)?
My Plantronics P590 works like a charm

Say something about the sound, it is better (or/and louder) then original HS or same quality?
Here you go!

Theres a app called btAudio (keep a google-eye open for newer versions) that does exactly this, it will send ALL sound to the headset, despite of what windows had in mind for the sound (as in if it was gonna use headset or build-in speaker)
Tho, it sometimes chokes when you dont shut down the app before you disable the bluetooth headset or phones bluetooth function, but i guess that kinda makes sense (its even sayd in the program to not do that, but im a sucker for trying such things hehe)
And another thing, this happend for me too (taken from comments on some site, linked below)
The program runs well however if you try to make a phone call with the blue tooth ear piece while the program is active the program is not available after the call is completed.
I had to reset my phone to enable the program again. - source of comment
Guess thats related to windows not being to happy theres multiple apps using the headset, lets hope for a next version which auto-disables when calling and re-enables when u hang up.
I'm waiting for this one (Jabra BT530, due end August according to Play.com)...
http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/product/16778.htm
Got the manual that Jabra put up on their support site for a day or two before taking it off. Manual says it also supports A2DP and can stream music.
And what about battery life? Could somebody using bluetooth stereos write how long the Diamond can last, and what is the overall impact on battery life while listening to music?
I use this headset, its got very good sound and is also nice and comfortable, since i have my tragus peirced i cant wear "normal" headphones!
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Sony-DRBT20...6?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1216998998&sr=8-6
It also works on my pc and my PS3 as a wireless headset/mic!
I have proper enclosed stereo headphones Dell DH-200 with volume control, next and previous track plus play/pause buttons and it all works fine with HTC DT. The only think I am not sure about is which profile it is using, the sound is not as good as when I have it paired with my laptop, which would suggest a low speed profile as opposed to HQ.
You can change the bluetooth profile in Schap's Advanced Config. I've set bitpool to 70, max to 76 and min to 64. Now the sound quality is waaay better.
I can't connect my Jabra 320's (worked with SE W880i) to BT Stereo, it only see's the headphones as a handsfree unit on the HTC
Jawbone. Nothing else comes close (for hands free anyway!). And the new one even matches the Diamond... sort of!
Has anyone suffered the sound periodically dropping out for a second or two, mainly during the first minutes of connection but still persisting now and again several tracks down the playlist?
hi everybody,
I know before asking smt do your homework......I did try but couldnt.....to hard for me (just kiding).
this is another thread about the a2dp and wireless stereo capabilities but i like to think its apart.
I couldnt find anything about using A2DP Headphones. Just headphones and not headsets.
I have a pair of bluetooth JBL 610, I installed the A2dp patch, I do get the "Wireless Stereo" option, it does pair and thats all. when playing smt in WMP nothing the sound is still on the phone speaker.
anybody tried to use the new A2DP with bluetooth headphones?

Not sure what the "new" A2DP is. I have several A2DP headsets and have had dropouts on five builds on the tornado platform. A couple of builds ago I just stopped trying.
I had tried overclocking but never completely got rid of dropouts, say once every five minutes. It doesn't seem to be CPU related since it happens under no load and watching a CPU meter there doesn't seem to be any utilization correlation.
Am interested if anyone has a different experience.
Hello. I am really struggling....I need a over the ear bluetooth headset which supports A2DP. I don't want any solution which implies earphones...like jabra BT3030 or any similar 'a2dp' box where you can connect your earphones through 3.5mm jack.
So it seems really impossible to find a normal headset which can send me (for exemple) sounds from the games I play on android while on the bus while remaining available to phone calls without switching headsets.
I googled a lot. I found jabra Bt530, bt8040, jabra extreme, there is a jabra 8010 hard to find which costs a kidney....
is there anything CHEAP that can do the job? The items listed above cost really too much for what they are. And I repeat, I am really not interested in those solutions where you need to use wired earphones with the bluetooth adapter...there is no point of having a bluetooth headset if you anyway have to have wires all over your jacket...
I actually just found an application (bluetooth switcher) that can send every sound from the phone to any bluetooth headset! In my case, I was wearing a gioteck EX-02 (it is a PS3 headset).
Well it is a nice solution...although this headset doesn't have a call button to answer the calls....but yeah I can have music and games on this non-A2DP headset! Wonderful!
I'll wait for your replies though...sure I am missing something...
I wanted the same thing. I got a Blueant T1. It is wonderful.

thank you for the reply. yes your answers are a good alternative...unfortunately the headsets linked are pretty expensive for what they offer...I think I'll stick with my Gioteck EX-02 which i can use with both the ps3 and the mobile phone...now that I have found this application on android that can redirect every sound to a normal non-A2DP headset, I don't need a new headset with A2DP protocol.
As soon as I get a chance, though, I'll compare the quality: I don't know if it's the headset itself, the bluetooth transmission of my phone, or the low quality broadcast by the android application that redirects the sounds....but the sounds in games don't sound really wonderful. I'll have to check this as soon as I get the chance to try a 'real' A2DP headset.
thank you all
Hi,
I'm wondering if there is any way to stream audio music and/or FM radio from Windows Phone 7 (I have the HTC HD7) to a non A2DP Bluetooth headset (I have the Jabra EasyGO).
It seems that I can only make and receive calls with it.
I've searched all over the place (and web) and cannot find a way to do that.
The only way is to get a new Bluetooth headset with A2DP capability?
Is there is a workaround, please let me know.
Thanks.
I don't know of one. As far as I know, the Headset profile is mono-channel only (plus another channel for the mic) anyhow, and probably quite low bandwidth, so it would likely sound awful.
Thanks for your answer GoodDayToDie.
But I don't mind for quality... Actually I'm not interested to listen for audio.
I just want, for example, to hear drive directions when I'm driving using navigation software (Navigon) instead of hearing from the loudspeaker.
Hmm... I thought the phone *would* use Headset profile for driving directions. Weird. I find the WP7 implementation to be so bad that I prefer to keep using a 4-year-old Garmin Nuvi instead, but I could have sworn I tested it and it came over the BT (and my car only has Headset, not A2DP). Maybe poke around in Settings?
Alternatively, if your car has Aux In, you could use a ripping cable (double-ended headphone cord, they're very cheap) and then the phone will play instructions over the cable into the car's stereo. This is also a great way to use the phone's music player, including Zune Pass if you have it, to play music in the car (I do this all the time). It uses less battery than having Bluetooth transmitting constantly would anyhow.
