Posted this in the Captivate Accessories section, but haven't received any responses.
I've searched around on XDA and can't find any info. I recently bought a Blueant Q1 headset. Works great on my computer. The sound quality of its built-in audio commands is very loud and clear. However, when I talk in my Captivate using the headset, people are very quiet on my end, and they often tell me that they can hear themselves echoing back through the phone call. I don't have these issues when using the same headset with my computer. Does anyone have any advice to offer?
Had similar issue with my blueant and the aria. I have changed to the jawbone icon and now have the captivate.
I returned the blueant

The built-in voice commands is a main feature for me though. I also got the BT for about $40. I can't find a Jawbone for that cheap.

I am just wondering what Bluetooth headphone you guys use on inspire 4G?
I am choosing between Plantronics Voyager PRO and Motorola Oasis, but dont know what I really want.
Plantronics....they just work!
I am using a Plantronics 245 which is a very inexpensive headset. I think I payed about $34 with taxes. I do not have any issues with it. Headsets are like cars - you can go from very cheap to very expensive and everywhere in between. - Glenn
Blue Ant T1. Not a big fan of vlingo, the free software for the headphone. It does the job withoutbraking the bank.

I use the blueant Q2 with the motospeak app from the market ... Its by far the loudest bluetooth i have ever owned.... You can use motospeak with any bluetooth, but there is a trick. First go buy or borrow a motorola finiti (volume on it sucks btw) bluetooth, pair it with phone, download motospeak app from the market. Now for the important part DO NOT UNPAIR the finiti from your phone, as long as it is paired with the phone the motospeak app will work with any bluetooth. Now you can go trade in the motorola finiti for any bluetooth you like.

Not between the two you said but I would say get the Jawbone ICON
They have been the best I have used.
They are selling the Jawbone 2 for 10 bucks at dailysteals. Can't post link.
Don't work for them or anything, I heard good things about the headset and ordered one. Though you guys might like it. Add about $5 to ship though.
Jawbone Icon. Love it. I have owned two. Best earpiece out there.

I use the voyager pro, I like it. I would recommend the icon though. It's less expensive and the quality is comparable. I paid 100, but have seen the icon for about half that.

How does noise/wind cancellation on recent bluetooth device? I remeber when I had really old moto bt headphone, HS850, my friend hardly heard me when I was running outside. After that, I did use any bt headphone.

The Icon comes with 5 or 6 different pieces to fit your ear. If it falls off easily then your just using the wrong piece. It also allows you to wear it with or without the over the ear hook.
I use an Icon for phone calls and a Plaintronics Backbeat for music and the occasional call. Both headsets are good in high wind situations. The Icon even works pretty good during a storm, though I don't recommend it (I've killed so many headsets that way).
I have the Plantronics Voyager Pro + and I got it brand new on eBay for 56 dollars. People need to use eBay more. -.- paying retail for everything... blasphemy

I got an Icon from Amazon eventually, its not that expensive, only $50. its small, lightweight, pretty good, except it doesnt have caller ID function offered by new Jawbone ERA.
I've got a jawbone ICON, love it. Worth way more than the $50 I paid on Amazon. I can have a conversation going down the highway with the windows in my truck with a straight piped diesel engine half down and still hear.
It does caller ID, just doesn't read the name, just the number.

Inspire 4G + Plantronics 903+
I've been using Inspire 4G paired with Plantronics 903+ headphone, mostly to listen stereo music. I'm having a lot of connection problems: sometimes the sound stops for less than a second and then continues (several times per minute), and in the worst case the connection just drops completly and I'm forced to pair the devices again.
I read some posts in the web warning about the same issues, but I couldn't find any solution for this. I even don't really know if the problem is the headphone or the phone itself.
Does anybody know a workarround to solve this? Thanks!
I use the Motorola H720 for my Inspire and for Skype. I prefer the ear loop to the in ear style for comfort during long use. It's relatively cheap and I can get almost 8 full hours of talk time. And it has proven to be very durable.
I have had my inspire for about two weeks and rooted it the day after I got it. Since rooting I have been running

I have flashed other roms and have yet to get bluetooth to work. It connects to my headset and to my sync in my car. When using my headset I can stream music and hear it and can hear when I cal but people can't hear me. Using the sync in my car I can't here any thing phone our music. Suggestions would be great. Thanks

i cant transmit on my tb when its plugged in to my aux port in my car. i can hear just fine through the car speakers.
i did a xda search and Google search, cant find solution.
checked sound settings and tried different kernel.
can i get an assist?

Elaborate on transmit? Do you mean it won't pick up on your voice?
i can hear the person i am calling but they cant hear me. sorry, im in the navy and use the naby lingo

well, ehen it's plugged in through the aux it's basically the same as plugging in headphones... just instead of it going through headphones, it goes through your car stereo. basically, it's only for audio out from the phone. it will not pick up your voice.

Settings -> Call -> TTY -> TTY VCO
Works like a champ. I have a really good set of headphones I listen to music and audiobooks on. They're very durable and sound pretty good. First set I've had that lasted me more than 4-6 weeks. No inline microphone. Now I can just use the on-board mic.

Been a problem on aosp based roms on the TBolt since launch. Setting the tty works, but the sound is horrible on the other end from what I've noticed.
Thanks ghrubi! I just switched roms for the first time sine the first TheoryRom came out and I was having the same issue.
Looking for something to give me both handsfree calling and allow for audio streaming to my car stereo. I was looking at the tunelink at bestbuy for audio streaming, only it does not provide a handsfree calling solution. I do not have an AUX input otherwise i would use the belkin aircast. Also portability is important. Has anybody come across something that will do both?
hey,
hit up Wireless wave. they have a bluetooth speaker that does exactly what youre looking for. Its made by Jabra
Thanks just saw the same thing at best buy today. The Jabra Freeway. I think I am going to get it. Its a little on the large side as it has 3 speakers, while I don't need any (going to use the fm transmitter) but have not seen anything better yet.

I have read mixed reviews with that one. Do you do any audio streaming? If so how is the quality? That one is much smaller than the one I saw.

Motorola T505. Its handsfree and will either play music. on built in speakers or stream to car stereo using built in FM transmitter. Great quality sound, I have one
Thanks got the cruiser 2 today going to try it for a few days and if it does not work well, I may try it the Motorola.

I'm loving this phone and all? But it's not without some pretty huge flaws. And this is coming from a guy who managed to survive 2 years carrying a Tilt 2.
Anyway, I digress...
My latest issue (actually my earliest but I've been searching unsuccessfully for a solution for a while now) is that when my phone is paired with a headset, which is pretty much all the time, and I answer a call with the HANDset, the call gets sent to the HEADset. Why would they do it that way?!
It makes no sense whatsoever. If my handset is in my hand and I answer the call with the screen button, send the call to my handset. If I wanted it to my headset, don't ya think I would have hit the button on the headset?
Or maybe there's a setting for this that I'm missing somewhere. If that's the case, I hope someone sets me straight here.

It makes plenty of sense, your using a headset. It's not a design flaw, that's how it's supposed to work.

We're gonna have to agree to disagree on this one. You're only "using" a headset when you choose to by clicking on the call answer button. That's why they have 'em.
I've been using Bluetooth headsets for 10 years now and this is the first one I've encountered that functions like this.

No way man... Sony Erricsson T-616 - my first BT phone, then a T-630, then the OG Moto RAZR, then the amazing HTC Cingular 3125, then I can't remember what, and then something else I can't remember... And then the Tilt 2, and now...? This is the first phone I've ever used that if you answer the call on the handset, sends it to the headset.
Shouldn't it go where you answer it? If my headset is in reach, great, I'll choose to answer it there. But if not, and just my phone is handy, wouldn't it make more sense to keep the call on the handset? I mean, to me that's just obvious.

I agree something is bugged with the bluetooth stack.
On my car SYNC will use the car speakers like is suppose to, but it wont use the vehicle built in mic it will use the the phone one. So i have to have the phone close to me with the mic pointer towards my mouth so people can hear me.
I dunno, it makes sense to me that if you have a headset PAIRED and ON that answering a call it would go to your headset. If you don't want it to go to your headset, I dunno man, maybe turn it off? If I had a bluetooth headset and it was paired and on I know I would want it to go to the the headset when I answered the phone but that's just me, I guess I'm just crazy like that.
I think it makes perfect sense. Imagine chilling at work, little office environment, BT speakers....and suddenly those speakers are broadcasting a phone conversation.
I'm with the OP on this, never had a phone behave that way. Call was always sent to which device answered it. Always. Or two phones paired to the same BT headset. I've done that before. Anyway, several reasons for it to be routed where it's answered.
And h/t to the OP for the 3125 reference. Solid little phone!

I had Tilt2, use bt all the time, and I'm pretty sure it went to the headset when answering. Plantronics Voyager Pro HD might be worth looking into. It automatically sends the audio back to the handset when you take it off your ear, and sends it back when you put it on.
In the dialer after you have answered you can change it back to the internal handset speaker quickly using the speakerphone button which now turned into a Bluetooth symbol and changing the audio back to the phone.
