Couldn't find this anywhere?
I have not seen anything in the specs stating that it is supported...does anyone know for sure?
It streams music just fine for me to my car and my bluetooth headphones.
Yes, it does. I think all Android phones have this capability. I know my G1 did too. I use it every day with my Nexus S.
1st) Yes. The Nexus S does support A2DP. I already used it.
2nd) No. It is not guarenteed to work with every android phone as the bluetooth chip must support the A2DP profile.

should also be mentioned, not every BT stereo headset or car audio, or any other sort of BT player are A2DP capable, some have limited or no functions at all
i've encountered a few bad devices that simply stream the audio, but it wont provide any remote control feature at all
so good luck

Agree with AllGamer, I use a Sennheiser headset which does voice calls pretty well, but it can't do any other voice transmissions if it is through skype, gtalk etc or any music/podcast content. And, the box also doesn't specify A2DP support.
On the other side, I have a BlueAnt headset which does all types of calls on my nexus or atrix pretty well, with all types I mentioned above.
Good Luck!!!

Get yourself an A2dp headset. Pair it to your device and you're done.

I have a BlueTrek G2 bluetooth-headset. I think I must install first a special driver (widcomm??) to hear music through this type of device.

No, you should not have to do this. A2DP works really well out of the box, I've paired it to 3 different A2DP devices issues. Do you have MS VoiceCommand installed? I have had conflicts with MS VoiceCommand and A2DP where after using VC no sound comes out from A2DP, but I haven't had the time to play around and figure what prompts the issue as it doesn't happen consistently.
EDIT: It wasn't MS VoiceCommand that was causing my issues. It was having the phone on vibrate. That stops sound from coming over A2DP, as does pressing the volume down button (duh, stupid me).
I just paired it, and it worked (Jabra BT620s.) Make sure you check the correct box for what feature to use when pairing.
does it work at samsung wep210 any setting need to change?
Hmmm... I can not make it work with my car stereo (Pioneer DEH-P75BT).
Anyone succeded in making it work with Pioneer car stereo DEH series?
P75BT just sits there and waits for connection, even if it is already connected and functional as handsfree device...

Handsfree and A2DP are two different things. The Bluetooth Handsfree profile is intended for making phone calls (speak). That's your old school lousy quality mono headset. The A2DP profile on the other hand has decent quality stereo streaming but is only supported by newer devices.
Are you sure your Pioneer supports the 'real' A2DP? And if it supports both, Handsfree and A2DP, make sure you select the right service when connecting.
Hmmm... here's quote from device's brochure:
Make calls and stream music via your Bluetooth CD Tuner - the DEH-P75BT supports both handsfree and audio profiles from your mobile phone.
But, good question is does music streaming support real A2DP... Wireless stereo might not be A2DP compatible...
I was just wondering is there a way you connect 2 bluetooth headsets at once because while i was browsing i came across a program that allows you to listen to all sound that runs through your phone. Which since i gave up bluetooth headsets, i cant verify if it works. But if it does, instead of buying those (big) bluetooth stereo headset or those (wired) stereo bluetooth heaset, I can just use small wireless normal bluetooth headsets.
Honestly, buying a good pair of regular headsets to listen to music or other quailty sound on will cost you MUCH more than buying 1 normal A2DP supporting ones (unless you already have 2 headsets )
i thought this was goint to be a request to share music via 2 stereo BT headsets. Now that would be useful.
By default, you can't connect 2 headsets to your device at the same time.
sharing audio between 2 different headsets would be even harder than running 2 mono ones at the same time.
you're invited to develop this idea a bit further and suggest a development in the Dev&Hack section. hopefully, someone would go for it.
Hi, unfortunately i wouldn't know where to start with this and as i don't have a BT stereo head set, it's not something i would actually find a use for. Don't really use my Trinity for audio, it was easier to just get a large iPod, apologies for bad language , and use that.
i was actually refering to jeff
I wouldn't suggest this to someone who knows almost everything

If only that were true, i just spend far too much time on here.
hi
you can connect to 2 bt headsets but only to differentiate their settings. one would be in handsfree mode while the other in wireless headset mode. but sharing both settings (e.g. handsfree, thus sharing the audio) is not possible. the moment you bond the second bt headset, it severes the first one's connection.
hope that helps
I think he meant sending audio to both at the same time...
I can't believe there isn't any developement on this yet...
Are there any good in-ear headphones with working previous/next buttons to control next/previous track and volume in any music player?
Hi well I've been using the Altec Lansing BackBeat 903 Bluetooth Headset for about 3 months now and that has all the features your looking for plus they sound damn good as well.
I use the stock headphones with winamp, and double tap the pause button and it skips to the next track
But for a real solution with back.. you could get one of the little reciever thingies with a 3.5 jack, so you get wireless + controls + any headphone you like ^_^. But there could be some quality loss if its cheap..
Motorola's s9-HD also have theses foncions enabled.
Thanks for the replies. Those two seem to be ear-hugging types, are there any with regular design?
the best would be to use the Nokia remotes that came with the n95 and others. But apparently it doesn't work since the layout inside the jack are not the same between Samsung and Nokia... too bad
I have a question about this topic, I tried to use the apple in-ear headphones with the mic and the volume buttons on my SGS but when i fully plug it into the jack, theres no sound.... but if i leave it out abit then it works fine.... Do u guys know what is going on?
Any Bluetooth headset supporting A2DP (Advanced Audio Distribution Profile : For Stereo audio) and AVRCP (Audio/Video Remote Control Profile) should work. There are plenty of BT headsets out there. Search for A2DP Bluetooth headsets (if they have media player controls then the chances are they support AVRCP too).
I use a Bluetooth clip, it gives a certain amount of wireless freedom and the ability to use any 3.5mm headphone. If you already have a good pair of headphones you like then a BT clip is perhaps the best way to go.
Here is what I use (Motorola S605):
With a display (SonyEricsson WM600 ):
Both of them have a built in Stereo FM radio as well, if you listen to radio that could come in handy (since the radio on SGS is mono ).
EDIT: One last thing, Audio quality over Bluetooth is slightly lower compared to a wired connection. This is due to the compression codec used in Bluetooth transmission. However, the difference depends entirely on your expectation of sound quality and the quality of your audio files. For example if you are an average user who is happy with a pair of $25 head/earphones listening to MP3s encoded at 128kbps then you won't notice a difference. But if you are an audiophile having $100+ headphones listening to 256kbps+ encoded MP3s then you’ll definitely notice a difference.

Could you please tell me is this possible with bluetooth clips:
I connect wired headphones to SGS directly (not to the bluetooth clip 3.5mm hole), pair the bluetooth clip with SGS, start player and listen to music through headphones and have ability to start-stop player by bluetooth clip buttons. When the call comes I hear it in headphones and start-stop player or push call answer button on bluetooth clip. After pushing answer button I hear calling person's voice in headphones but talk to the bluetooth mic. After call is ended I can start-stop playing music again by bluetooth buttons. This is 100% tested or it's is appeared to be working? Thanks.

I don't think it works like that, but I have to check to confirm.

When you are not using BT audio, I doubt the player will respond to BT player controls.

I dont think you can split the mic and headset function like that, either you use the BT for both mic and headphone or not at all. (unless someone modifies the driver). But again, something I have to check to confirm.
For basic call and volume controls something like this might work.
Here is another alternative, but no mic (not released yet either).

I like these, thanks.
How does this things work? Do you plug anything to the usb port or do you just enable blutooth and play? Also can you use previous/next buttons while the screen is locked? Can you do these with the default player or do you need anything like WidgetLocker and add the player to the lock screen?
Also are there any wired versions of these?
i was disappointed to find out that tmobile g2x doesnt not work with bt mono or super froyo plus to stream phone audio to my bluetooth headset if anyone gets it working lemme know! I liked being able to watch slingplayer on my htc hd2 with out disturbing anyone!

That sucks. I use it sometimes. If you find a fix or alternative, please post it.
Rhapsody and Android Music output fine through the phone's internal Bluetooth stack. Is there something special about SlingPlayer?
well the android music player doesnt work for me and neither did any other music player i downloaded maybe its just my phone? neither did i heart radio
I emailed the dev he said that he hasn't heard much reports from people yet and he doesn't have the phone to test with it. Personally I think it's the Rom we have. Once a aosp rom or CM7 it will probably work again. There are somethings my g2 could do this phone can't.

Oh, I think I just realized why must stuff works and yours doesn't. All the devices I've connected are Bluetooth Media capable including my headset. The first time the headset paired, the phone only detected Bluetooth audio and it didn't work. I re-paired it and the phone recognized audio and media and then it worked. You need a headset that supports A2DP audio streaming.
not sure
i dont know about that when i used the same headset with htc hd2 running android it worked but this g2x doesnt

Hi,
It's hard for me to even find a title that makes sense for this thread since I'm not a native English speaker. I struggled also on where to post this one, so i hope I did it right.
I've been searching for a better quality headset replacement for my Trophy since the HTC ones not only fall from one of my ears but the sound quality and isolation leaves a lot to be desired. That said, they at least have the functionality of controlling the volume and answer-end a call.
So actually I have 2 questions:
1) The HTC headset allows to answer/end a call plus volume control. Some Samsung focus users reported that they can skip tracks by double or triple pressing the answer button. Now I wonder if these functionalities are Hardware or OS dependant. Is there any documentation on what WP7 is capable of handling?
2) Does anyone know of a higher quality alternative to HTC's headset (wired), with at least the same functionality, but proved to work on HTC WP7 devices? (I've seen recommendations on Android HTCs but I rather not assume they work in WP7 devices, too much money to be wrong )
Thanks in advice
The best thing for you to do, would be to get a set of Bluetooth (A2DP) headphones. These will also include the microphone so you can listen to music, control the music player (skip track, play/pause, etc) and take calls.
With anything else except the HTC headset, I don't think you can do anything but listen to music.
EDIT: Another advantage of Bluetooth headset is universal compatibility- they'll work with just about any phone/computer with bluetooth
i would also recomend an bluehoot headset.
im using the nokia bluethoot stereo headset
http://www.pixmania.com/ch/de/2478328/art/nokia/bluetooth-stereo-headset.html
it works with calling, music scipping, play, pause
I'm using SE MW600 with mango and everything perfect,
able to control music, accept the incoming call, use voicecall, speed dial , display the caller-id and song name.
and the most important..
It's can use you own headphone.

Using the Nokia BH-503 and it works like a charm also.
For reference the headset I use is the Samsung SBH-650, it lets you use your own headphones too which is excellent for me as I wear glasses so the annoying neck-or-headband style that BT headphones normally are doesn't work for me
Thank you all for your replies.
I'm particularly interested in SE MW600 first and the Samsung SBH-650 as an alternative, because they allow you to use whatever headphones you like best. The first seems to have killer features, especially the display. The second seems to be cheaper, which is always good .
EDIT: Actually I've found the SE to be cheaper than the Samsung...
