I purchased a Jabra BT620 bluetooth stereo headphones and wanted to give an update after listen to them for several hours..
I updated my i-mate SP5 to add the A2DP stereo bluetooth mod.
First off I want to say that there is NO "high pitched digital disturbance/distortion" like I have experience with other bluetooth stereo headphones like the Moto HT820 and the Plantronics Pulsar 590A with my i-mate SP5.
Pretty comfortable .... did not notice any issues after wearing them for about several hours... To me the most comfortable stereo bluetooth headphones I have used.
The max volume level is not bad but wish it was capable of going a bit louder. the bass level was fair but not great..
I also got them to work with my computer bluetooth adapter. Also sounded very good.
Conclusion:
Comfort - 9/10
Sound Quality - 8/10 (no high pitched digital disturbance/distortion)
Weight - 9/10
Battery life - 10/10
ok. How do you rate:
Pairing.
Does the BT620:
A) pair up automatically when you power it up like the HT820
B) pair up when you press the mode button like the FA303
C) require a refresh in bleutooth connection settings to pair like many others
Phone headset profile.
When a call comes in does it automatically switch to headset profile?
When placing a call, does it automatically select headset profile when the call connects?
Is there a headset profile specific button that will bring up the voice dialer when pressed?
AVRCP
does this work?
does it pause music when phone conenction occurs?
I really want to buy this headset but will take a pass if I have to go into bluetooth connection prefs everytime I want to pair....
According to Jabra's specs, this device is certainly capable of AVRCP based music pause/resume.
they automaticly pair in headset profile , but in order to get wireless stereo you have to go to connections->bluetooth-device and set as wireless stereo each time.
wish there was a fix for this, at least some sort of shortcut
AVRCP based music pause/resume/next works very well
Hi
Ive got an SPV M2000 (XDA IIs, which im sure you know ), and want to listen to music through the bluetooth headset.
Ive seen and applied the patch for Bluetooth Stereo headsets, but this isnt a stereo headset, its just a bog standard bluetooth headset (Jabra BT200 to be precise).
Is it possible to use this to listen to Audio through Media Player?
cheers

Hi guys
The T-Mobile MDA Compact III has FM radio.
Does anyone know if the FM radio audio is transmitted by bluetooth? Also the mp3 audio!
If not, I'm looking for a PDA (Windows Mobile) WITH radio that does transmit the radio audio over bluetooth - does such a unit exist?
The reason I want this feature is so I can use my Nolan bluetooth motorbike helmet to listen to the radio!
Cheers
John
I don't know about the phone itself, but I think the helmet would have to be a2dp compliant? I'm not sure the Nolan bluetooth helmets are. I think they only support the handsfree profile.
Was thinking about getting one of those helmets myself. Are they any good?
You can play mp3 audio over the Bluetooth but the radio refuses to play this way, I have tried many combinations/ settings and never got the audio to output via Bluetooth. That said the mp3 audio over Bluetooth is very good quality if a little low in volume - Mike
Hello,
First post here.
I recently purchased an HTC Touch. I'm trying to find out if there is a way to force a Bluetooth stereo headset to play in mono? I'm using a player called Audible manager (for audiobooks) and it only send a mono signal so it is only played in one ear on Bluetooth stereo headsets.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
You can use Bluemusic as a workaround - it force-feeds to headsets, even those that don't normally support A2DP. And does so in Mono.
The bluemusic trial is unlimited but doesn't automatically continue after you receive a call: http://www.teksoftbluemusic.com/
Thanks, I appreciate it.
Hello, first of all please excuse my English, I am from Germany and I try to ask for some help here.
I bought this nice little toy named Topaz a few weeks ago. Yesterday I added a bluetooth interface from Blaupunkt for my car audio "Blaupunkt Milano MP34".
Its just an extension for the missing bt ability of the radio. For handsfree and A2DP profiles.
After connecting, it works great and with the external mike I can manage phone calls via car laoudspeakers.
A2DP also works, but here is the problem: there is no auto-connection of A2DP like the handfree-profile autoconnects the car unit and the Topaz after ignition.
Every time I have to connect it manually:
- after an ended phone call
- after starting the engine even when the interface is connected
This is very very annoying, inconvenient and tedious, after a phone call the manual connection while the car is running is even dangerous.
My question: Is there any software or a plugin to make an automatic connection for the A2DP profile when the ignition gets on??
Thank you very much in advance....
greetings from Cologne, Germany, yours Wolfgang
I have exactly the same issue, see my post here for improving the a2dp quality. I haven't managed to fix the re-connection issue but as a work around I have installed this app and have maped it to one of the hardware buttons. So now i just have to hold the button and the a2dp connection fires up!! Hope it works ok for you.
Would be interested to know if anyone else has had the a2dp re-connection issue and if they've fixed it. It only happens in the car as described by porzerwolle, my bluetooth headset re-connects every time!

thank you very much, for the tool and the information. It seems to be impossible to auto-reconnect the device with a BT radio or BT interface.
I'm using "A2DPSwitch" for a while and it works perfect. I set it on button1 "hold long" and I can switch between device and BT interface with a one-button-push now.
In matter of fact, my Plantronics BT headset 590E (it is very, very good!!) autoconnects Handsfree within seconds, and connects A2DP immediately when I push the play/pause button. In the Windows Media Player, the Blaupunkt interface supports AVCRP!! I can use NextTitle, TitleBefore, Play/pause, Fast Forward & Fast Rewind!!!
Sound quality of Plantronics is perfect, like wired unit, but quality of BT transmission between Blaupunkt and Diamond² is inacceaptable caused by extreme static noise - worse than an FM Transmitter.....
Wanted to use the S2P for this, but the sound quality via BT is poor and lousy....
In the moment, I use Pocket Player 3.6, not so comfortable as S2P, but it works..... there I have a ten-band EQ and the possibility to control Master Volume
I will try this registry settings, but when there is no improvement, I will decide to buy the BRODIT active car charger with a 3-in-1 adapter and manage the sound output via AUX-IN by the Blaupunkt radio input.
Let us know how you get on with the registry settings. I too have a Blaupunkt head unit, an OEM one mind, but noticed a huge difference after modifying the registry.
G
do you have a Blaupunkt "headset" or an interface for the car radio??
Never seen a headset manufactured by Blaupunkt.....
I will tell you if there is any improvement after changing the registry. Will do this on the next weekend bc I'm very busy in the moment.
I have this adaptor connected to my blaupunkt head unit in the car.
Just to inform that it works perfectly on my side with my Audi A4 B8 and the audi built in bluetooth system... lucky me
I haven't add any third party software on my D2
mmm, it doesn't connect to my BMW X3 built in bluetooth, my former device (Polaris - cruise) did it seamlessy
Any fix known to improve compatibility?
Thx
now I changed the registry settings for BT stacks as told in the thread. Before i installed HD tweak and changed the settings for BT audio, the value for SampleRate were preinstalled by HD Tweak for 48000! I erased the two values and the Plantronics seems to be louder and more brilliant....
will test the changes on Blaupunkt interface tomorrow because today my car is not available.....but I think the reason for the hiss may be the low BT input signal on BT in the radio.
will tell you if there is any improvement. Thanks a lot in advance!
Greetz from Cologne, Wolfgang
now there is a little improvement in audio bt quality, less hiss and noise, but still there is some. I can't understand but maybe the bt input signal is too low.
in the moment it is working so I'm a little satisfied with the changes.
Don't know exactly in the moment if to keep in in this state or to switch to aux-in input with hiding the necessary cables and wires inside the car's cockpit.....
maybe will check out several bt car radios at my dealer to know if there are some devices which are able to produce noise- and hissfree bt audio.
today I tried BT connection both for HF and A2DP on a colleague's car with a SONY radio MEX-BT2600.
The difference was amazing! I was impressed by a perfect, noisefree BT audio output, very very loud and a HF phone call in perfect quality.
I think I will decide for another car audio device. Meanwhile, I'm very disappointed by Blaupunkt BT quality.
Out of interest porzerwolle, did the A2DP streaming re-connect ok on the SONY?
no, it didn't, the same as in the Blaupunkt interface: no auto-reconnect.
The Diamond² reconnects A2DP after a softreset, both Blaupunkt and the Sony, but it is not the standard procedure I want to do every time I want a BT connection
