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.
Hello everybody,
Has anybody have tried the Kondor Bluetrek Bluetooth headset (especially the G2) with XDA2??
I've tried searching in the forums but seems nobody has mentioned it before. Just want to know what are the PROS and CONS of the said headset.
According to the reviews, its a great headset except for the fact that the ear clip can break due to major mishandling, but I haven't seen a review by somebody using XDA2.
I saw it in a shop (here in the Philippines) and I liked the style immediately. Price is also not bad Php3,500 (around US$60)
Hi yes, I have a Blutrek G2 headset and it works with my QTEC 2020 (XDA2 clone), I also use a TomTom Bluetooth GPS also and this works fine to.
I can even recieve calls while navigating with TomTom 3 with both Bluetooth devices on!.
Hope this helps you.

Thanks up to how many devices can it bond at the same time? Cause I saw with epox it can bond upto 4 devices.
Hey guys,
I have this headset, not the fanciest of them, but still an effective headset. I just started using it with my 8125 (beats the wires!), and it's not working as good as I thought...
I used to have a nokia and a razr phone before getting the 8125 wizard. The headset worked amazing with both those phones. The main problem is the reception is not amazing, or should I say the communication between devices is not amazing and it drops connection sometimes.
Is there anything that has to be done??? I read somewhere that a2dp usually helps bluetooth devices connect, or was that my imagination???
Thanks,
Phil
Hello to all you out there.
I have been the proud owner of a desire for about eight months now. I just got a new car, Hyundai i30, and i am planning to put a BT carkit in it. Can anyone tell me about their experience with, preferebly, parrot carkits?
Tnx
I have a parrot MKi9200. Reasonably happy with it, less so with parrot support.
Sync works, iPod play works as advertised. Software is a bit buggy, but nothing problematic. I recommend you get a good installer for it, though
I also have a parrot MKi9200 and works very good. Also with the HTC Wildfire from my wife.
as mentioned get a good fitter or someone who knows what they're doing. the i30 isn't to bad to take apart to run cables.
hi, got a parrot ck3100, good sync, adr book and stuff to phone but not a2dp (so no music through it).
I also have the 3100, and it works like a charm with my desire (latest radio and cm7).
Syncing and connecting with phone are automatic, voice dial works and parrot is easily updateable with a bluetooth connection. And above all, voice quality is perfect
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
I've got the CK3100 and (as people have mentioned above) it works well with the desire.
A minor issue: GB roms appear to have a problem with BT where the phone doesn't immediately switch back to it's phone speaker when the connection to a headset/carkit is lost. I believe this is is GB issue. I've never experienced it before I started using GB roms.
Also, as people above have pointed out, it's probably worth getting a system that supports A2DP audio playback too. I'm using a separate Tunelink device for that.. and it works. But using two separate BT device to connect to the one Desire is a bit awkward.
I am using a PARROT MKi9000 with my Desire.
speech recognition is nearly perfect.
I use it for streaming music/audiobooks over the car-speakers, too without problems.
Installed it by myself without problems. Plug & Play.
Regards,
chrrh...

Check my third post

9200 is the best you can buy imo, does it all(at least all that you can expect from a car kit), and parrot releases updates frequently.

Hi there,
I use the MKi9100 in my Fiat Grande Punto and it works very well with my Desire.
I wouldn´t recommend to use the music playback function via bluetooth, though, as the sound quality kind of sucks...
Yeah, listening music throw bluetooth really killing me))
I should always choose between quality or battery life
I've been having bluetooth problems with this phone since day 1 & I'm wondering if it's just my phone or if anyone else is having the same experience. No matter what rom or headset I use, I get a craptastic connection. I don't have any problems pairing devices, but I can't get 10 feet away from the phone without it disconnecting and I can't even turn my head without the audio cutting out. It also randomly disconnects for no reason & sometimes won't reconnect until I reboot. This has happened with every rom I've tried & every headset too. I've bought & returned multiple headsets thinking it was just my Blueant, but it happens with every one.
Could I have a faulty unit or does the bluetooth on this phone really suck this bad? I listen to podcasts & music all day long at work so I need to have a decent connection. Opinions needed please.
I think it may be a bad phone.
I have and used the following bluetooth devices:
Plantronics 590A
Jawbone Icon and Era
BlueAnt S4 which I use in the car. And auto connects before I sit down to drive when I have it on.
Sony Ericsson MW600
And Jabra Pro 9470 (office phone setup that connects to my phone via bt)
All connects without a problem. Have you done a titanium backup and perform a factory reset? And after the reset use titanium backup to restore app and data only and leave the system settings alone. You can restore the wifi stuff if you like. From there that's like a fresh install. Hope that works for you.
Yeah I've done many, many wipes & fresh installs & nothing helps. I don't have any problems connecting, I just have problems STAYING connected & listening to audio. It cuts out constantly without me even touching the phone. I've never had such shoddy bluetooth on any other device.
*sigh* Looks like I may be doing an exchange...

Well before leaving the store...if you are going to a brick and mortar to do the exchange, bring the bt headset with you and try it out there and try to replicate the problem with a new phone.
I do not have range problems but I don't usually have my phone more than 5 ft way from me when talking on it via bt.
I have a replacement on the way for bluetooth problems,people complained of a horrid background noise and the range was maybe 8 feet before major static would kick in

My BT sounds like crap! People say it sounds like I'm in a wind tunnel or they can't hear me that well, when they speak to me it cuts in and out.
This is when I connect to my Parrot BT in my truck. I know its not the Parrot system because my HD2 works fine with it.

I have a Dual car stereo & now that I think about it, everyone says they can't hear me even though I installed the mic on the side column & it's no more than a foot from my face at any time. Aargh this is so annoying. Freaking $600 phone & my damn $25 RAZR from Big Lots has better bluetooth.
If I bring it to the store, would they exchange it for me? I ordered it directly from T-Mobile, I didn't get it in a store.

No you will have to call T-Mobile and do a warranty exchange. I have no problems with BT on my phone at all.

I use this with my blueant s4 without an issue and experience no cutting in and out. However, I have been running MIUI and now running sense-o-maniac 3.5 and I have no issues.

horrid bluetooth sound quality
it seems a lot of people have been having issues with the bluetooth sound quality. i have mine paired with a motorola HF850 car kit, which has bluetooth v1.1, or something like that. i wonder if the problem is with backward compatibility, as people seem not to have as many issues with newer devices. would flashing a different radio potentiall help this problem? is it possible to downgrade the bluetooth version with a custom ROM? any other thoughts on ways to address this issue?
