I've seen earlier posts with problems with the JABRA BT200 (Which was top of my list for an Xmas pressy).
Can anyone tell me of Bluetooth headset that actually works well (ie without any problems) with the XDA II...
Just so I'm not frustrated on Xmas morning incase Father Xmas does bring me one ?

ive tried to jabra bt200 and neither would even pick up the call. They bonded OK but that was it! I have yet to find one that's ok.
I've been using Jabra200 for a three weeks with xdaII, having used it with dongle on xda1, and haven't had any of the problems, posted here.
It's great to be able to answer calls simply by pressing button on headset instead of fumbling for phone.
why are there not any more stereo bluetooth headsets ?
renember a few months back i did a search on google and only found one
having a mono headset dont really do it for me when you listen to music on the xda aswell
this is how they looked cant recall that brand but they are kinda ugly and bulky

this is a bit better looking but since it have mp3 in them maybe it still only streem from the xda in mono

Hi !
I have HBH-35 and work fine.
Anyone knows where to get Jabra BT250? The store selling must shipped internationally.
Some conflicting info here..
So we have some conflicting info here. One person who the BT200 does not work and one that it does.. Odd.. maybe they fixed a bug with newer version ?
The Sony Ericsson HBH-35 is a bit pricey..

The Jabra 250 is better priced :
http://www.expansys.com/product.asp?code=108165
anyone tried it ?
Keep them coming by the way... all suggestions welcome..
Sony Ericson HBH-65 works OK although it was only a test in the shop. But receives calls no prooblem.
Not tried the Nokia yet or a new jabra headset (can't remember the model) will try tonight if I get time.
Cheers, Shire

of they dont ship international then i'm sure there are links in the google search which lead to places which does
Ive been using a Plantronics M3000 with my XDA II for a week without any problems. I picked mine up for £56 from dabs so its definately an option worth considering.
HBH-30 works fine
Nextlink Bluespoon Chameleon works beautifully.
I've heard lots of good things about this one, and it's only $40 after MIR, so I ordered it:

I'll know in a few days (when it arrives) if it works with the XDA II or not..

Hello,
could it be??
My MDA is not working with Jabra 200. I can bond them, then i can receive calls and can make calls!! But, if i switch the headset off and on, it works no more, until i bond them again, but the Jabra was still bondet in the configuration.....
The Jabra seems to be o.k., i used it before with my SE P800.
Best regards, Oliver
re
OK I tried the new BT headset from BodyGlove tonight in the shop. I gotta say I was impressed, so much so I bought the only one we had lol. Sound was clear and load, and the mic was clear on the other end, well according to the misses.
Thought, mmm, maybe some cash to be earnt here so I looked on eBay to see what they were selling for.
We are going to sell them in the shop for £69.99, I paid £45 for mine at cost price, and there is a guy on eBay selling em for £45 + £2.50 P&P.
I have used this guy before too, you will see some positive feedback from me, so I know it's genuine.
Check it out

Jabra Bluetooth
Jabra Bluetooth works superbly!! I am delighted with it!
Bluetooth Headset That Works
I have been using the BLUETREK G2 for 3 weeks I have only had to charge it once in this time and I use it every day it works perfect with XDA 2 very light great sound, bonds everytime, excellent. Bought on ebay for less than £50.00
The skypower EXclip works ok, nothing fancy but it lets you know if you are out of range, lets you know when its on and also doesnt need rebonding, it cant be used yet to originate calls or voice dialling but I hope the new O2 rom will address that issue. Cost me £18 on ebay.
XDA II with Bluetooth headset = battery dead before lunch!!!
:evil:
Thats what they dont tell you!!
I've searched, but am having trouble coming up with a clear direction. It looks like the Jawbone II might work, but I saw one post saying that incoming call audio wasn't routed to the headset! Ideally, something small, with good battery life and voice command compatible would work for me.
Thanks in advance for sharing your experience!
I think it is a personal experience as to what headset is "the best".
I've had a lot of the higher end units....Jawbone1,2, blueant, Plantronics 510A,
Zivio Boom. All had their plus & minus points.
Right now, my "daily driver" is the Zivio boom, but it took sending it back 2 times to get a good one. First one had a broken boom, 3 weeks in, the 2nd one had static/low range. 3rd one works perfect.
The jawbone 1 was fantastic, but (for me) I think I broke 1,543 ear hooks until I got a custom fit ear piece. Jawbone 2, was smaller, but, I think the noise canceling, incoming sound & outgoing sound were inferior to the jawbone1.
Blueant Z9, had good incoming, but for me had low outgoing sound. The plantronics 510A was about the best all around incoming & outgoing sound, but,
it was like wearing a weight on your ear. For my preference, it was a little bulky as I wear glasses.
Each had their good points & bad points. I'm still searching for "the ultimate" headset, but I don't think it really exists.
One think for me that really made a difference, was to purchase a custom made ear piece. No more ear hooks, perfect fit, no more sore ear. They are kind of pricey, but for my preference, it really made a difference.
Which ever BT you purchase, make sure they have a good return policy...just in case you don't really like it.
JB II
Ive had the MOto pure (SUCKED), Jawbone, Jawbone II. I must say that the jawbone II is the best bt because of its quality and size. The Jawbone I is too cumbersome. When I lost my Jawbone II i did not think twice about buying a different earpiece. I immediately replaced it.
Thanks Guys. I'll give the Jawbone 2 a try... and also take your advice about a possible return by buying locally instead of online.
For me..the BlueAnt V1 won out over all the others. Check it out!
I have the regular 1g Jawbone, and I love it. The second version can only be better. Heard great things about blueant as well.
I've also had a Moto H500 and H700, and both were total ****e. I'm really liking how my Jawbone actually allows me to leave my phone in my pocket and enjoy crisp, clear conversations. . it was only 70 bucks, so not a bad deal. Jawbone 2 was 85 but I was feeling cheap that day.
Edit: just read up on the BlueAnt V1 -- that looks pretty damned nice!!
BT Headset
Plantronics Discovery 925 Bluetooth Headset not seen

Radio 1.02.25.32

Wind noise
I live in California and drive a convertable, so top down 300 days a year. I literally tried 18 different BT headsets and the only one that was acceptable at all to my callers was the Plantronics Voyager 510. It has a bit of stiff foam on the tip that works better than the others. Jawbone was terrible with the wind.
Just returned the Jawbone II. Not being able to hear incoming calls when answered from the headset turned out to be a huge pain... also, it seemed to randomly disconnect itself from the phone and voice command (the noise assassin button) didn't always work.
As an aside, I am having trouble with my data connection after some period of time when bluetooth is on. Anyone else having this issue?
Edit: Also no TomTom or Music through the Jawbone. I'm assuming this is a bluetooth stack issue. Is anyone getting other sound through a bluetooth headset?
i am really liking the new JB-200m i got this christmas, only thing that sucks is i cant activate MSVC with it. i emailed their company and they said that they are looking into including that ability in the next model!
In the last 4 years I have easily had 15 BT headsets.
Currently, I am using the blueAnt V1 (updated firmware) and find it the best so far with my Fuze at the combination of 6 key areas:
1. Fit
2. Sound
3. Performance in the out of doors (wind)
4. Battery Life
5. Stability of connection with the phone
6. Ergonomics
JawBone 1 was good except in even the slightest wind (like a squirrel farting in a tree 50 feet away), but it didn't fit and went through ear hooks like Bubba goes through administrative assistants in Harlem.
Jawbone 2 was better on the squirrel fart issue, but didn't fit much better and dropped the connection too much
The V1 had initial problems with sound on incoming calls, but a firmware upgrade (available on their site) has fixed that. The fit is great (I don't need a hook), the thing is light and the battery lasts me 2 days and lots of calls. Sound is almost as good as the Jawbone...like barely a difference to the party on the other end of the call. Sound to me is less tinny that w/ JB2.
I wanted to weigh in here because I am "testing" my nth different headset (feels like) and I keep finding my self going back to the same one over and over again.
I have had the
Plantronics
Discovery 655 - useless but very light weight, blinks blue light, not good. Thumbs DOWN.
Discovery 925 - PERFECT weight and time, but complaints from callers about to loud pickup of background noises, option for no blinking status light, multiple (x2) pairings.
Voyager 510 - Still one of my favorites but has limits I don't like, such as no A2DP and multiple pairings option not available. Callers can't tell I'm on a headset. Not good in the wind unless you use the wind guard (which looks stupid). Other than that, a great single phone headset for the car.
Motorola
605 - crap.
Jabra
BT8010 - The best one yet and the one I keep coming back to HOWEVER, awkward fitting but small sacrifice for the features. Full A2DP, stereo, streams device audio, Blue OLED display, doesn't blink light, push button display,Phone directory in memory, software and firmware, Caller ID, multipoint technology, etc,... Lots of features. NO complaints from callers and they can't tell I'm on a headset.
BT8030 - Just a plain ugly but VERY cool features, fun for the hotel room while traveling. Excellent battery full A2DP features. Still very cool.
These are just some that I have used so far. I am always in search of the newest and best "feature-rich" headset. My perfect headset is still not there yet, but maybe someday soon. I would love to help design one with a company.
Hope some of this might help.
I have tried about 5 different motorolla headsets through the years and they all had bad sound quality. I had the Jawbone and returned it because of fit. Quality was good though.
Another recommendation on the BlueAnt Z9i. Callers are unaware that I'm using a headset.
For me, the fact that the company is prepared to offer software firmware upgrades was also a big plus. It's also the first headset I've ever found comfortable enough to actually leave on when I'm not on a call.
Need help badly
hi i'm trying to pair my bluetooth headset (Samsung WEP200) but everytime i put the pin number (that is given by the bluetooth headset) it always said "Your Device did not connect with Samsung WEP200. The connection Failed or the passcode is incorrect".
how to install the hotfix (the hot fix from HTC website) on my HTC Touch Pro? everytime i copy the .exe file into my device, and run it, i always got an error box. Incorrect Device, "Please use the correct Device to Install This Hotfix program!" i don't know how it happen, i download this from HTC support page. i select the phone (HTC Touch Pro) and in the "Software Download" tab it show that there are 3 available download, the Hotfix, the Rom and Application.
i really need help....... pls, someone that have the same proble with theit HTC Touch Pro bluetooth connection.....
I am looking for a new bluetooth headset. I used to use "Rocketfish™ Mobile - RF-MAB2 High-Definition Stereo Bluetooth Headphones" (can't post links yet) on my iphone. But now I have the HTC Inspire and these headphones work sometimes. I can always use the voice dialing and talk to people, but the media part only works when it wants to. I synced it with my old iphone and it works fine there.
So I am looking for a new set that works flawlessly with the Inspire. Nothing to expensive tho.
Any Ideas?
Well, BT headsets are a dime a dozen nowdays. It all comes down to price and comfort, with comfort being the most important thing to consider. I'd hit Amazon to browse the selection and read user reviews, then do a price check for the one that suits you best. I am using Plantronics 925 and like it OK.
Thanks, I just wanted to make sure I got a pair that worked good with the phone. Unlike my current one.. Searching amazon right now.
Edit: Just reset my phone and tried pairing it up again, and now it works.... Lets hope it stays...

For my money I bought a Plantronics Voyager Pro bluetooth for my own phone and liked it so much i bought one for my wife and my son. Not that it makes a lot of difference but Plantronics is who made the radio equipment for NASA according to what I read. I researched a lot of blue tooth decvices and settled on this one because it got really good reviews for the most part. Some people complained that they broke theirs having it in their pocket but none of us have had that problem and i carried mine in my backpack for a while. I bought the Plantronics Voyager Pro for $50.00 USD from Amazon.com I have had mine for over a year and have had zero problems. Everyone used to tell me it was to loud and asked me to turn down the volume on it to and I'm not a loud talker.
That's my three cents

The upper end plantronics or jawbones are excellent. Plantronics rates well for wind, and I've actually used my jawbone standing 150 feet in front of 64 Meyer sound line array speakers and 20 M3D subs. The caller heard a little background rumbling probably because my head was vibrating from the sound... But they could hear me just fine.

I have a jawbone myself, but I think you should see if there may be software that needs to be downloaded to it. I know with my jawbone I have the option to download different software. Also make sure your phone has the correct software. You may need to download some sort of TTS (Text to Speach) program or STT (Speach to Text) program. I hope this helps.

I love my Jawbone icon, super small and light weight, excellent noise cancellation... streams music, and you cna customize its voices...
only downside is its only got one button... but thats really a matter of preference
its also got great range, I can get easily get about 100+ feet through walls and it still works

Download the vlingo app and try your current headset. Vlingo is much better than the stock voice dial

Hi,
Are some of you using a Stereo Bluetooth Headset Headphone with Caller ID Display?
I'll like to use my Note 8 as primary phone (answer and make calls) but using a Headset and if it's also able to manage my music so much better.

I'm assuming you mean the type where the display is on a separate piece that you can clip to your shirt. That works well, but there are some i've seen (not recently) that have the display on the actual earpiece which means if you are wearing it and a call comes in, you won't know who's calling without some voice caller id or pulling the headset off your head and looking at it (or looking at your phone, in which case the whole point is moot).
I used to think this was a good way to go, but instead just went with a smartwatch when they started to become available, as the watch can show you the caller ID and lets you use any bluetooth headset to talk on the call that you'd like.
I'm using the Metawatch Frame, but I also am waiting on my white Pebble to finally ship. I set caller ID and texts to come to my watch.

I use a Pebble and Jabra Sport together (or sometimes just the phone hooked to my stereo) to listen to music on the phone wirelessly. The Jabra controls volume and the Pebble displays the songs and can skip forward a track or back. Both can pause/play. You still get notifications on your watch no need to touch the phone. Great combo!
Edit: I'm not sure about the Jabra Sport handling calls simultaneously with music. I think you would need a more up to date bluetooth headset, so check that it can connect to multiple devices simultaneously and can handle both music and phone calls. I think the Jabra Sport can handle music OR phone calls over bluetooth, but not both. I haven't tested this, but when I place a check mark in phone audio in the bluetooth Jabra settings, it switches music play to the phone from the headset. (?)

I purchased a Sony Wireless Headset Pro (Lite Version). The MW1 is way overpriced, but I was so obsessed with trying different bluetooth dongles/adapters, that I had to give it a shot. Sony just released a newer stereo bluetooth recently, but I got a decent deal $80 (retail is $120). Contrary to what many of the reviews say, lots of the apps actually do work, but it's very very quirky. Caller ID display, as well as the other apps do the job that I need them to (when they are actually working properly). Main reason I got this is for daily use, while at work or on the go on the weekends.

Yup...lol. When I first got it, I got pissed cuz it automatically started updating once I downloaded the app. Then it was in an update loop, so I had to update through my work cpu. Really frustrating. Overall, I have been happy enough not to return. Just wouldn't recommend to anybody looking for the best bang for the buck.

What's the best headset with caller ID.
I know people worry about having to look at headset while it's on head. ... but my plan would be too only put this on the head when you have a call.

I should have also mentioned that in my research of this also realized that a bluetooth headset with an lcd display would either end up being so big in order to accommodate seeing the Caller ID easily and quickly or to get a small size, the headset LCD would be so small that you would have to waste precious time for enough of the caller info to scroll across the screen when you were getting a call AND THEN struggle to put on your ear in time to catch the call. that's usually too much time to pass so call is either going to voicemail or the dialer will hang up. Or you end up having an LCD display with texts so small in order to fit more info that it's very hard to read.
Good luck in finding a good model, if after finding this out you still believe that this is your best option though.

That's useful to know.
I don't mind a big display as I would only put next to my head when I want to call or receive call.
Not sure there is anything though.
In an ideal world the smart watch would be perfect for this with bone conducting earpieces always set behind the ears.
Don't know why anyone hasn't thought of that before.
Talk to the wrist but listen with bone conduction.

I have a Note 3 but didn't go for a Gear smart watch because I don't see talking to the wrist for calls as practical for my use. I do want a watch that has a mic for voice command, though.
Let us know if you find something good for your use. If you ultimately can't find a suitable model I would recommend that you consider the smart watch for your notifications once you find one that fits your style. It really is a liberating experience.
I usually use an LG tone headset which hangs around your neck when you're not using it, but in a way that is pretty stealth under a shirt collar. When I get a call I look down at the watch and if it's a call i want to take, I just remove an ear bud from the holder around my neck and put it in my ear.
