hi folks,
as the title asks will Sony Ericsson Bluetooth Stereo Headset MW600 works with the DHD?
http://www.handtec.co.uk/product.php/2810/sony-ericsson-bluetooth-stereo-headset-mw600-
Define "works"...
Will you get track names? Nope.
Will you be able to use it for music and handsfree? Yes.
I have an mw600 and its pretty awesome, works very well. Much simpler to pair than most bluetooth devices ive used in the past, and can pair with 3 things, so i use it for my laptop and my phone.
Only negative point is the clip really, it doesnt open quite as wide as i would like, and the spring isnt very strong (it isnt weak though).
Oh, and the "touch sensitive" volume control is utterly pointless! A rocker switch would have been better.
Once all is said and done though, i paid £40 for mine and im still very happy with it so for £30 you cant really go wrong.
It doesnt seem to affect battery life in any appreciable way and the sound quality was indistinguishable from the 3.5mm jack. (On an x10)

I got the headset and it works perfectly with the DHD, even better sound quality than with my old Desire. I recommend the MW600, they are not much expensive, they have great battery, same microUSB connection and works really great with DHD

I guess you missed this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=9483692#post9483692
I agree the sound quality does seem a little better than the DHD
I might buy some of these, it might be a really bad question but I need clarification.
If i buy these they will work through Bluetooth with my DHD..... But will it not deteriate the already poor battery on the DHD? are they work getting or will I be having to constantly charge my phone or not listen to music at times to save the battery?
So in simple terms? How is the battery affected with the Bluetooth?
The MW600's SQ is very good for a BT device. I own one of these too.
Tried this with my DHD yesterday.
Pairing was with no problem and I could listen and watch the song titles normally.
Only thing didnt work was to see the caller's name.Is this working for U?

Hi, I was wondering if any of you guys use a bluetooth stereo headset for your G2's because I've been looking for a certain kind. I'm looking for one that is wireless(duh) and it connected by the buds with a wire that's small and similar to the one that came with our phones. So pretty much our stock headphones, just without the cord connecting to the phone. I saw one the other day on a website but I can't find it at all.
Thanks for your time

Check out the Sony's MW600, it does the job quite well for me
It has got some tiny limitations, but its really good, for its price
Not sure if how it will perform with G2, but on DZ is soooooooo cool

I have had great success with Altec Lansing Backbeat 903 and they can be had fairly cheaply. While mine are 1+ years old, Plantronics offers an updated BackBeat 903+. Altec Lansing is owned by Plantronics or vice versa.

I second that recommendation. Those are great headphones especially for working out. If you don't really need bluetooth I've gone to the zagg smartbuds after getting tired of charging my backbeats and my phone from constant Bluetooth use. These just stay around my neck all day and offer everything the backbeats do, just not wireless and better sound quality.
I'm waiting on Bluetooth 3.0 to really make Bluetooth headphones really take off, with better performance overall (sound quality, outdoor performance, and 3.0 is a higher number than 2.1 duh). Have trouble at times outdoors (nothing to bounce off of). So my recommendation is the backbeats or the Cardozo s2's I believe if you aren't married to that form factor.

dont get the zagg smartbuds.... they are a ripoff. just like the rest of their products.
the best buds under $100 are the klipsch image s4's

I actually use a Sony Bluetooth unit that has a standard 1/8" jack and plug my Shure's into that. The little controllers are hard to find now as everyone seems to want to bundle their earphones in with them.

I just found this and it looks really nice, not so sure about the clip though, but I can adapt. It meets the requirements I was looking for. The bluetooth is actually in the small device and the headphones are interchangeable with any one with a 3.5mm jack. I hope that it would come with its own set of headphones because they look really short and that's what I'm looking for. I don't want the hassle of having to untangle headphones after every usage, so I think this might be what I'm looking for. Has anybody else tried this before? I also wonder if it's completely compatible with Android.

These are the MW600 that Wolek76 is talking about in his post above. They are known to work with the Desire Z though some functionality like trackId is not working. I should be getting these for my Desire Z today/tomorrow.
I have been to frys electronics and best buy, and have bought every single one they offer at least once.
Ive tryed at least 20+ and every single one cuts off very often if I am jogging and the phone is in my side pocket.
If anyone has any suggestions be my guest and lmk please haha. Maybe something that makes you hold your phone higher or closer to your ears so the bluetooth connection doesnt break so often.

Yes these are the MW600 which wolek76 recommends, and so do I. Been using them with my Nexus One and now Galaxy S, and love them. The ear buds are very comfortable and have great sound quality, and if you still dont like em you can use any 3.5mm headphones with the unit. You can save 3 devices to use the Bluetooth with (either phone OR your BT-enabled laptop), and switch between them with press of a button. Good battery life and and the controls work with alternative Android music applications like Poweramp as well as Google Listen.
The unit did get stuck on me 3-4 times during my 6-7 months of use, by stuck I mean nothing works and you have to wait till the battery drains and it shuts itself off lol. Its ridiculous that this thing doesnt have a Reset button.
Highly recommend this headset, and cant wait to start using it with my G2 when it arrives next week.

hello everyone
just thought I'd put a link to another thread (used to be Desire Z only, before the merge), but thats where I've left the most information about this bluetooth stuff

Another happy MW600 user
Hi all,
Just wanted to second wolek76's recommendation for the MW600. I've been using them with my Desire Z.
The performance of the bluetooth headset is excellent - especially you you replace the supplied earphones with your own favourites (Denon AH-751s for me )
Only downsides:
No contact name on display (though the callers phone number is displayed)
No track name on display
Other than that they are excellent.
Cheers
Ash

Have you guys used the headphones that came with the bluetooth set? Is the quality of it good, or does it not come with short corded headphones?
Merry xmass everyone
Yes, these come with in-ear buds with three different rubber sizes. Headphones themselves are on a short lead and asymmetric (so that the cable for one ear is shorter, and the other one goes behind the neck)
As someone mentioned earlier, these are removable, so you can use any earfones u wish.
Quality of sound is fine for me, although I'm no expert on that matter....

How would you say the headphones that come with the mw600 compare to the one that comes with the desire z? Better?
Definately better!!!
Original htc ones dont stay in my ears whatsoever. Maybe I got weird ears but never managed to to get any htc earphones make stay in my ears (s740, touchpro2, DZ).
the SE ones actually go 'into' your ear blocking any external noise. Im very happy with that solution, but I know it isnt to everybodys taste/preference.
btw. I got MW600 for my sister...
she's got SE X10 and wanted a FM radio....
will check if these work any better with Android on SE fone (track ID, caller ID)
merry x-mass
Well, even though mw600 and X10 are made by same manufacturer, there is still no caller ID, and no track ID.
This must be definitely android issue then.
Just hope that ginger update with its new 'BlueZ' will help, when it finally lands in our Desires...
Fingers crossed

Anyone know of any high quality bluetooth headphones with a mic? They would have to be the in ear kind. I'm willing to spend up to 200. I've been searching around and their really aren't that many to choose from. I work in security and most of the time I'm baby sitting empty buildings so they would have to be descret enough not to be noticed on the camera's if anyone choose to review them. Taking all suggestions. Bluetooth is kinda my last resort.. I really don't want to part with my CM7. Lol

Have you looked into these? They got crazy good reviews when they released. Sweatproof, small, secure.
I've wanted a pair since they dropped but still have my Moto S9's so I can't justify it. I wish those damn things would break already!

Try the Motorola Sliver Elite. It will not be noticed. And it works great.

Yeah, I've read a lot of good things about those. I also had the Moto s9's Hd and not. Hd's were much better but still sucked. SOOO MUCH STATIC. whenever the music would go down or change songs I would hate myself because it sounded terrible. I convinced myself that I needed them because I felt like my wire got stuck everywhere. Anyway, long story short got myself these. Never looked back. The only problem I forsee is they are sound proof.

The i's pause button will work.. play sometimes. It will work with the last music player app you add.. it's weird. I know. If you have any questions pm me.
Edit: Both of my motorola's broke in one way or another. One the speaker ripped out because I dropped it, and the other.. just stopped working? Idk.. I had to send it in for something and they sent me a new one... the HD set.

I'm finding there's not many high end in ear bluetooth headphones. So I might just give up on bluetooth altogether. But thanks for the input.

well that is simple. Just buy a stereo receiver and you can use what ever headset you prefer. I prefer ITA (in the ear) speakers
You can use this one:

OK, so I'm watching a movie -through Infuse- via the HDMI port and I'm receiving a call (on Infuse)
Would I be able to take the call and leave the rest of the family enjoying the movie?
I'm asking this because in theory Android can/could drive two different sound (one through HDMI, another through my bluetooth headset/handsfree for calls), but is this possible IN PRACTICE?
Has anyone tried that?
I'm sorry for the question, but I do not own a BT headset and depending on the answer to the above I will decide on buying it/that. I have no qualms installing custom roms if need be...

bluetooth headphones
I have the jaybird JP3MB bluetooth headphones. I think they are superb. I can tell you when listening to music taking a call will pause the music and it resumes upon hangup. I would think movies might do the same thing.
Not In-ear but over the ear...
I have the Arctic P311 Bluetooth Stereo Headphones, paid $34 for them locally (via Amazon). They sound great flat and even better with some EQ. I would like to see/hear the difference between them and these other seemingly overpriced Bluetooth headphones.
I was going to purchase the Nokia BT headphones but saw these and at $34 what risk is there???
Not disappointed at all!
Sure they might not sound as great as ones plugged directly into the phone, but they don't sound bad at all and more than acceptable especially with all the stuff I've heard about Bluetooth SQ.
I originally bought these for my Pantech Link which has no phone output. You can buy a special connector that goes into where you make the connection to charge the phone and for data connection as well.
I highly recommend the Plantronics Backbeat 903+. I've had them for a few months, and use them whenever working out. The call/mic quality is pretty good, as is the music/speaker quality. My only complaint would be that it's a little flat on the bass end; other than that, I really like them.
My friend tried them out once, and bought a pair the same day. His, however, stopped working after a couple runs on the treadmill. He thinks it's because he sweats a lot and they got wet. Plantronics replaced them free of charge and he never had the same issue again.
There are actually a newer version of them out now, called the Backbeat Go. I haven't tried them, so I have no idea how they sound or feel. They seem like they'd be more comfortable to wear, especially when running or working out.
i can vouch for the first reply; i got a pair of jaybird jf3's and they work amazingly well. pricey, but worth it

Hello people...
Just thought I'd share.
I bought a pair of Sandstrom bluetooth headphones today from PC World. They were only £30, so I figured that wasn't much of a punt.
I already have a good pair of wired headphones, but constantly opening the flap on the phone annoys me - and is an avenue for dust to enter the chassis.
Anyway... I wasn't expecting much, but I have to say I'm impressed! - The sound quality isn't quite as good as my wired set, but I'm more than happy with the sound for listening to music while out and about (which is when I'm more concerned having the flap open in my pocket).
They also have a built in mic, so you can take calls. And there are music controls.
Have to say - £30 well spent.

My recommend is Sony SBH20 or Sony MW600S. Currently I'm using MW1 and happy with it. But, in your case, I prefer MW600s, it has display so you'll easily find the song you wanna hear.
MW600s comes with 170 mah battery, bluetooth core ver 2.1
SBH20 comes with 110 mah battery, bluetooth core v3.0
Maybe SBH20 provide a better battery management than MW600s,

Hey guys,
Intro: Since our phone is water-resistant and pulling these claps to plug the headphones in 10 times per day is annoying, I am finally ready to consider a bluetooth solution with a mic (which I still do not really trust, but let's give it a shot!). I would like thus to revive this thread, by sharing my thoughts on the subject.
I would strongly advice to check these threads first :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2273429&highlight=bluetooth
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2229347&highlight=bluetooth - Would really love Tom Fagerland to come back and give us an update
My expectations: First, I would like to explain what do I need. In this way, we are not going to argue about a detail when we actually look for different things. You can thus point-out how different your needs are and therefore would like a different headset.
quality: I need a decent one, no more. While on the go, I mostly listen audio books through Ambling Book Player. The music is for home on normal speakers.That's been said, NO MUTANTS CUTS ALLOWED.
in-ear: those are the smallest ones and I really need to be able to put the headphones in a small pocket.
headset battery: I live and sleep with my headphones, I thus need something around 8h of autonomy, (This is why I have not considered bluetooth before, remember the 3h of autonomy max?)
phone battery drain: the use of of Bluetooth headset should not make our XZ deplete in an hour. I'm not a specialist but isn't it strongly linked with BT technology? The newer the better? So for us, BT 3.0 is better than 2.0?
full compatibility with XZ : I would like it to work well with our particular phone. Obviously. I do not plan to change phone for couple of years, so no matter the work with other devices. More, I would hardly bear some functions of the headset which are not working with XZ. Would feel like a waste.
Price: I am not ready to give more than 100 bucks.
Display : Not required. Good if there is one, but not critical
Radio : No need
Sd-card : No need
In addition : general comfort and build quality
Eliminated ones :
LG Tone hbs-700 : does not seem confortable enough, does not fit in a pocket
Samsung BHS3000 : 6 hours autonomy, clip easy to break
Jaybird Bluebuds X: 169$!!! Does it have a mic anyway?
Novero Rockway: 5.5 hours autonomy
....
Main candidates:
Sony SBH20 : seems good overall, but has only 6 hours of autonomy. Confirm?
Sony MW600 and MW600s: First, what is the difference between those two? It seems that they were firstly made for phones likes SE k800i (before android) and not all the functions work properly on android phones. True story?
Sony SBH50 : when to expect the release? What would be the price you think? Something special in comparison with MW1?
Sony MW1: seems a very good one in theory, but has apparently to many possible bugs and dysfunctions. I would give it a try, but I want to be able to give it back if too many bugs happen to occur. I am currently in Belgium and can't find any place to buy it here, even online on sony website!!! If bought abroad on ebay for example I fear that giving it back will be impossible/too complicated
What have I forgot?
I have noticed something interesting. On the sony website, both the SBH20 and SBH50 are advertised in this way : "Go great with : Xperia Z", while XZ is not among perfect partners of MW1. I understand that marketing can sometimes be a strange thing, but isn't there a REAL reason for that?

What do you thing? Any Advice?
I just got a Nokia bh-221 yesterday, I just thought the same, it will be annoying to have to open the flaps every time.
The reason I went to Nokia was because I'm happy with the play 360 speakers.
This headset has a screen, but it just displays the phone number when someone is calling (or the person's name if it is in your contacts) and the battery status.
The quality is good, it has 7h of battery life (haven't been able to test it yet), it comes with a nice decent headphones but you can use every headphone you want.
It also has NFC so you can connect faster, but after the first connection, just make sure the BT on your phone is on before you turn the headset on.
The volume is a bit low, but I think it's a problem with the Z, need to test with the sound addons after rooting.
I noticed a delay in audio when playing video, I will test it tomorrow with a HTC 8X, to see if I get the same latency.

Thanks for sharing, waiting for the test results.
Just to say, these kind of problems (delays, limited screen functions...) are the ones making me reluctant towards buying other than Sony's headphones. Even though it can be a super set on its own, I'm almost sure to find some partial compatibility or even dysfunctions.

The screen functions is not a problem, is just a Nokia feature, not showing the music name...
The lags, i just tested on my 8X and I see no lag at all... I had the same problems with another philips BT headset, I think it may be an Android problem... What other OS does is just delay the video also, so both audio and video will stay in sync.
I searched for solutions, and found a lot of people with this problem, but no solution till now.

Sorry for you.
The other people have this problem with exactly the same headset as yours? or with android in general?

No, there are different people with different phones and headset with the same problem... I think the only (android) device i had where BT audio has synced with the video was the Galaxy Nexus.
Choose Headset.
If you want the best available sound quality and a good MIC and the most reliable accessories then stay between MW600 and MW1. i had both of them.
for you both are GREAT! but my MW600 did a lot of restarts all the time! i couldn't update it so i had to get used to it. i don't know about the latest one but before 5 years that's was my experience. my opinion...go get the MW1 with closed eyes :silly:

Thanks, will probably try a WM1. Just wondering if waiting till SBH-50 wouldn't be wiser...
Anyway,
I can't find any retailer selling this in Belgium. Will have to buy it on amazon. Does someone know if it is easy to return the item? I want to try it first. If it's ok I keep it, if not (as for sooooo many users after some research) I want to be able to get my money back.

I think Amazon is our only option.
I've compared the stats from the sbh-50 and the mw1 and it seems that the mw1 will still be better. Guess I'll be waiting for the mw2 if/whenever that comes out.

Hello, man! Did you get your MW1? How is it doing nowadays? I am about to buy two units for my brother and me, and would not want a fiasco, because I have read many comments that the device doesn't work fine with firmware 1.0A.1.6 or so.
Please, tell me, which is the firmware version which is working fine with? Is it 0.1.D.0.6 the device is working perfectly? Do you recommend this headset?
For me this is the most complete and feature packed Bluetooth headset today, I am about to buy it.
Are all its features working in Android 5.1.1?
Please help me! Thank you!
Im looking to buy a new headset.
Im talking a lot on the phone in my work and beside that im doing sports and heavy music listening.
So, what can you recommend? I really care for the quality and i was thinking about the Sony hbs5X... Any recommendations about any of those or anything different?
I own Sony SBH50 and it's absolutely great, I can't find a weak point. Maybe I'd like a better battery life, but on the other hand battery is never enough. I think that SBH52 adds waterproof and HD voice, but audio quality of SBH50 is already great.
Thanks, what do you think about the 54?

I have an SBH52 and love it. Works great with the Note 4 and very convenient being able to answer calls (and see who's calling) without touching the phone. There are lots of add-ons in the Play store as well that allow you to view text messages and gmail messages etc right on the screen of the SBH52 (and other Sony headsets).

I didn't know about SBH54 until a few days ago. I think it's the SBH52 "rebranded", I do not see any striking differences. If I had to buy a new bluetooth and was not on a tight budget, I'd definitely buy it. Right now, SBH50 is just fine for me.
For me. the main reason for buying it was the FM radio. What I'd really like to see in one of those is some presets for the FM radio, so we wouldn't have to search our favorite stations all the time.
i still just use the LG HBS-730
and still hd voice too with own eq settings and vibrate when getting a call
also battery life is pretty great and charges about 30 mins from dead
I'm using Plantronics Explorer 500 and i'm very happy.

I don't use Bluetooth Headset for Music. For calls, I tried many and finally settled on Plantronics Voyager Edge finally. Nothing that's available in India beats it in terms of use in noisy, windy conditions. 6hr talk time maybe less for some but for me it's enough since I usually have the charging dock handy to recharge it quickly.
Plantronics Voyager Legend.
I absolutely love my Plantronics Voyager legend. Everyone always compliments me on the quality of sound, it's comfortable...and I've worn it on all day conference calls. Great battery life. Recharges fast.
Get the charging case, it's essential.
BlueParrot B250-XT Plus is hands down the best headset available !
it's big and a little bulky but is amazing ! i've had bluetooth headsets
for the last 15 years and this is the best !

I own the LG Tone Ultras with retractable earbuds. They're great I recommend them 100%.

If you do a lot of sports and music on a go kinda thing then SQ isn't the #1 priority! Sweat resistance, secure fit and durability gotta be on top of your list! Nothing beats Plantronics BackBeat Fit in these aspects, absolute king of sporty headsets! SQ is just decent/good, can be slightly better if you buy JBL's extratips! Calling (phonecalls and VoIPs) is just fine! Here's the link from amazon to check users' reviews and find these JBL tips as well amazon. But buy it refurb from eBay, they are in 40-55$ range! Good luck
i have a planatronic legend. love it. best bluettoth ever owned. i have owned a lot! 9 yrs of m-f 8hrs plus with one in my ear. love my planatronics

Agreed. BlueParrot makes the best noise cancelling microphones period. Truck drivers swear by the 250. My old boss says he uses the 250 in his motorcycle helmet and no one can tell hes flying down the highway. They have a 350 now that uses microusb to charge and the firmware can be upgraded. I own the 350, it amazing. But neither of those models will work with exercising. They have other products, but out of my realm.
My current driver is http://www.plantronics.com/uk/product/voyager-edge.
I highly recommend it!
3 recommendations --
-- Plantronics Legend for workday when I'm at the desk on con calls
-- LG Infinim for during Golf or other activity. The nice thing with both LG and Legend is it allows 2 phones to be connect at once. I have a home cell phone and work cell phone, so this feature is critical. The infinim stays stays on my neck even with my wild golf swing.
-- For plane ride, Bose QC20. I didn't think it would make that big of a difference, but when you turn these on, the airplane engine noise disappears. This isn't bluetooth, but you can connect it to a BT receiver.
I am using samsung circle Bluetooth to me it's the best sounds experience and battery
Ps: I have 5 year using Bluetooth and the circles it's the best on my opinion
