anybody seen the sony hbh-ds980 headphones? - Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Accessories

i've been looking at some bluetooth headphones for a while, and i'm really looking for something thats an in ear style, and not too bulky especially when i'm on the go. these seem to be the best fit...but has anyone used them at all on a kaiser/tilt/tytn ii? i know a few people say that they're running into connectivity issues w/ some bluetooth devices, but i wanna know if this will work w/ the tilt
http://www.sonyericsson.com/cws/pro...980?cc=us&lc=en
amazon has it for 105, so its not lookin too bad with me...

i has this in 60€ to sell.

sound quality is great, best ive tried.
only problem is after a phone call it will not go back to music and instead will drop the bluetooth link. fairly easy to reconnect by pressing the play/pause button on the headset when this happens but annoying all the same.

I have the HBH-DS970 and it works very well - great sound. I don't know what the difference is with the 980 - I don't see the 980 listed on the USA accessories list. My guess is that it would work well for you.

I'm so done with wired headphones. Having to spend hours detangling wires is tiresome. I've now opted to only using bluetooth stereo headphones, like the sony one I'm using, which is lightweight and doesn't have a bluetooth unit to carry around!
The only other wired headphones I'm opend to are the 'mini bud' headphones which have retractable wiring:
http://www.boxwave.com/products/minibuds/index.htm

just got the headphones a few days ago, i think thursday. the quality is great, my sister said that the phone quality was good, she heard me just fine. pretty good bass response, the only thing i've had problems with is using the contacts menu on the headphone and getting into my phone. i think it might be more of a problem w/ the kaiser bluetooth setup though. anybody know if there's any kind of updates for bluetooth drivers for the kaiser...i'm going to check to see if theres anything for the headphones on sonys site too

WHICH AD2p Headset?

Ok guys, so I patch the firmware to get AD2p....
What headset(s) do you guys like? Being able to use them for both audio AND phone calls is a must..... seamlessly is even better.
Recommendations?
I have an Atom and I have the motorola ht820s.
When I'm not driving, they are excellent for music/speech and answering calls seamlessly. Mini-usb charger(same as atom) is an added bonus for me.
Highly recommend.
(reason for not driving is that in cali, you can't wear headphones while driving, so I use regular BT hands free for when i'm in car)
Motorola HT820 headphones work great with my T-Mobile MDA. Here is my review at pocketnow.com. At the time of the review the A2DP fix for the MDA was not available, but once I installed A2DP, it worked like a charm.
The motos are good if you want a well integrated phone/stereo headset that has no issues with the wizard, but I sent mine back for replacement because they didn't compare to the HP FA303s (Logitech is the same thing) when it came to hifi sound and max volume. The motos exhibited a real noticable distortion in the high end frequencies when compared to the FA303s. I'm hoping I got a defective pair because I really liked how comfortable they were too.
Stay away from the IOgear stereo/phone headset. A friend of mine let me try his and while the fidelity and volume was even better than the HPs, there were serious bluetooth connection issues. I had to refresh the device in bluetooth settings every time I wanted to use it just to get it to pair up, and the phone headset never worked properly.
Do the HP/Logitech ones have full PHONE functionality as well? I want to be able to make/receive a phone call while listening to stereo music without having to dork around with taking off the phones, etc.
No, that is their downfall: no phone headset capability. That in a nutshell is why there's no perfect solution out there IMO...
G-SAT BTH 820
I just got the G-SAT BTH 820. They has a small bluetooth until which the headphones plug into (allowing any headphones with a 3.5mm jack) to work. The bluetooth unit has the media player controls and the mic and is quite small (think of a shorter IPOD shuffle). Volume is really good; sound quality good, though slight background noise. While there is a wire from the headphones to the bluetooth unit, you are still untethered from your PPC..and i prefer being able to use the really light headphones (since the bluetooth unit and controls are not in the headphone). A great value since they are only around $60.
BES102 + BES103
I have the BES102 bluetooth stereo headset. It's great value for money since, aside from the headset, it also comes with the BES103 bluetooth transmitter dongle which can be used with any audio source. The headset also comes with a detachable mic attachment to enable you to receive calls while listening to music on your phone-enabled PDA (though I have not been able to make it work; I think it's an A2DP flaw). It also comes with a power adaptor, a USB cable and a splitter power cable that lets you charge both headset and dongle at the same time.
I got it for less than S$100 at Trendsmobile.
Sleuth255, im thinking if i should get the HP or Motos...which one do you think is best for my Vario...i dont want something big on my ears...which is why i looked at the HP ones
im considering on the basis of sound quality and the comfort when warn..
If my replacement motos have the same high end distortion then I'll return them. I'm keeping the HP's for sure unless the fidelity and volume of the replacements is much better.
It's a tough choice for sure. The motos have stellar integration with the Wizard and work pretty much flawlessly when switching from phone to stereo mode. They always pair right up too. Great bluetooth implementation.
fair enough mate...but if a phone call comes while your listening to music via the HP headphones will the voice go through the headphones....and do you have to hold the Vario close to ur head to speak...
or can you just use the phone normally....
because theirs no point in buying them if you gotta listen to the voice through the headphones and hold the phone near ur lips.....(thats like walkie talkies) lol
My problem exactly. You can hear the phone ringing through the headset but when you pick up it goes dead. I wonder if speakerphone works though. I'll check that in a few...
By comparison, the motos are awsome for this... they automatically pause the music when you pick up the phone then resume after you disconnect. The phone actually rings in the background while the music continues to play too so you can check the caller-id and keep listening if its not somebody you want to talk to.
I've got my fingers crossed that the problem with my first headset was actually a defect and that my next ones will be better. It'll be a few weeks before I can determine this though because it's 3 business days one way for UPS and I shipped out the old headset last Friday.
I just tested this: The HPs cut out completely when a phone call either comes in or is initiated from my 8125. Speakerphone mode merely sends the phonecall to my 8125's built in speakers.
hmmmmm thanks for the test mate...
I'd rather not buy the headphones then, considering the hands free are still good enough.... :idea:
£50 of mine can be spent elsewhere (driving lesson etc)
Hopefully someone may write a hack for that problem then...
Thank you guys for pointing out the HT820 headphones. I'm tempted top buy a pair, there's some good prices on ebay too. Well i was looking for other options and notices the Plantronics Pulsar 590A. I like the look of the motorola's more but the plantronics... well its plantronics. Anyone had experience with the both of them?
Hmmmm... guess I'll wait for more reports...
Nokia HS12w Rocks....with FM :lol:
I have the Moto HT820 and the jabra BT620. When I first put the Jabras on my head I was going to throw them in the trash until I figured out the sound was ampliifed in TCMP. I turned th esound down on my phone and headset and away we go. I like both but think the Motos may have a farther range. Next for me is the Nextlinks Spider when it comes out that one is going to be sick. BTW both work well with Windows Media Player.

How's the range? Any background noise?
the best in my Opinion with an incredible sound is the logitech. I have the HT820(Headset,Headphone Combo), Sharper Image and the Logitech (Headphone Only)
The Logitech is the Best. Usually Headsets lack Bass and this Headsets is best in that area. It misses the Highs a little but that you can fix with little EQ'ing. The Headset fits nice and is not so bulky then HT820. The Smallest is the Sharper Image. But only 4h batt life.
So out of all these 3 i have i use the logitech the most because of the Sound.

Sony Ericsson HBH-DS970 and Wizard friends or foes?

Hi
I´m thinking of buying the Sony Ericsson HBH-DS970 bluethooth headset for my qtek9100 (Wizard) and I was wondering if anyone has any experience with this headset.
The things I want from it is:
1. play music of course, I use Mortplayer or PocketMusic for my music now but i can change if none of those work.
2. Change tracks and see the song playing in the dispaly
3. Recive calls and see who is calling in the display.
4. Watch video and get auido in headset, use TCMP here but again I can change if neccesary.
I know that the headset supports both A2DP and AVRCP but I would like to know if anyone tested this with the wizard. The headset is pretty pricey (about 900 SEK or 94 euro here in Sweden) so I want to make sure its all it says it is and that it works.
My other option is the RClip35 from itech which seems pretty sweet aswell, anyone tried that one?
Thanks

I've got one, using it with my Qtek 9100 with the "Mr Clean" ROM and it works great. Sound quality is excellent, the ear buds appear to be the same as Sony's high end ones (which I'm using with my iPod) and the head set build quality is high.
I can definitely recommend it for the 9100.

Ugh, forgot to say that it does not have caller ID. The remote control function works with WMP but not with TCPMP. Those are the only media players I've tested.

Is that so? I just checked at a reseller and saw this (translated from swedish)
Bluetooth Stereo Headset with display that has support for Caller ID and also see what song is played.
Bluetooth version 2.O with A2DP protokoll (Stream sound in Stereo) and Digital Signal Protokoll) which means improved sound quality.
So I´m pussled..true or false?
Also, looking at pictures of this one, from what I can see it has many wires, only difference to the one that comes in the package with the Qtek9100 is the wire to the phone of corse, don´t you find this a bit annoying?
Thinking of buying one myself and I have today a HBH-610 that can´t do A2DP sadly BUT it´s just one thingy on the ear and that´s it...oh well guess I have to scarifice that if I wan´t A2DP which I do...

Argh. It DOES do Caller ID. The display is so tiny that I guess I assumed it would not display the caller ID.
Makes this headset even better!

Thanks for the replys guys, I think now I will go ahead and buy one when I get enough cash.
One additional question: Does it have a ring speaker och vibrate function?
I'm thinking of a scenario when you have the phone in a pocket or bag and have the clip on your shirt but the earbuds not in your ears and the phone rings, is it possible to hear it or do you have to have the buds pluged in?
Here's a link to the headset and the lowest prices (for Sweden)

It does not vibrate but it plays the ring tone - and it's audible when just hanging around the neck unless the environment is really noisy.
The phone rings too, of course.
I´ll buy this one also soon, thx for the recommendations/explanations.
/fahlis
I bought one of these last week and agree that the sound quality is excellent. I expected some background Bluetooth-style hiss but I can't hear any.
£70 may be a bit steep, but I think they are worth it.
For me, I always dock my Wizard in a cradle at work, which blocks the phono jack. So these fix that problem. Now I can also carry my Wizard wherever on my person I choose and not have to worry about wires.
And the real benefit is, when docked, I use Raspberry Software's True Connect, so I can control my Wizard with my mouse (excellent software), so even without A2DRP (something like that) I can still change my music at my desk.
The actual bluetooth part is really light and you don't knotice it round your next, most people probably think it's just an MP3 player, albeit a small one.
Highly recommended by me.
Hi Guys,
got this tiny little toy too, sound is good, but some questions are still unanswered:
Songs aren´t display in the sceen of the Sony remote control, any chance to get this thing to work?
I would love it to use an other Player than this f*cking MediaPlayer, but with other Player the Buttons won´t work.....
Any idea?
What about the range?
Hi all,
What are your experiences with respect to the range of this headset, when used in combination with the Wizard? I'm fairly disappointed in that area: As soon as I move the wizard from the 'line of sight' of the headset, the audio feed breaks up. This means that I won't be able to stash my phone in my backpack for example.
regards,
dafit
@Dafit:
I only keep it in my jeans front pocket, or my Suit Jacket inner pocket, so no problems there. However I have noticed it doesn't seem to cope well if it's not in line of sight. I held my Qizard behind my back and it cut out.
So that's one downside. Quite big if you want to keep it in your bag...
@Whumpscut:
Agreed with the songs suggestion, would be nice. As for other Media Players. Have heard mention that TCPMP might allow control via the Bluetooth, but I've tried it and it wouldn't work.
There's also an update coming out sometime soon from Conduit the makers of Pocket Player that will do this. See their forum for details.
Hi Nooner,
I just got my headset this morning and been testing it for a while. I notice that music playback after a call doesn't work even though the music is still playing but just no sound is coming from the headset. Just wonder whether have you experience this problem b4. I am having a O2 wizard with the lastest rom. Thanks

I don't have that problem, as nobody ever rings me :lol:
I have heard this as a problem. But joking aside, I've only had my headphones for about 5 days and usually only listen at work or to and from work (via the tube/underground), which is when I don't really receive calls.
But I've heard this reported. Don't know if it's the headphones or a problem with A2DP.
Thanks for the reply. I will try and search the forum and see. Will report back if I found anything.
In this user review he mentions the same problem http://www.howardforums.com/showthread.php?p=7463154#post7463154 Maybe its because of the A2DP patch but I dont have the problem with a Nokia HS-12W or Itech Clip S.
Yes is exactly the same problem. But seems like no one has a solution for it so far.
Hi efjay,
Just wonder what do you think about the nokia hs12w. Do you have any problem with it at all or it just works fine with the phone. Cause I am thinking of returning the sony n get something else.
I just ordered mine. Will be here on Monday :lol:
Can't wait.
[edit]
Damn it. They just called and said it's on "national backorder"
Must find one....

I myself think its good, solid build, large display, clear sound and the radio is an added bonus.

Which BT Headsets work??

All,
I thought I would start a thread where people can post what headsets they have and/or are using with the Kaiser. That way, if people want to buy a headset to use with the Kaiser they can know ahead of time whether or not it will work. I love this device, but right now I am not very pleased with my headset. Respond and I will try to keep it up to date!!
1. (Me) Plantronics 665 - Previously a very good headset. Now with Kaiser, not very good quality. Barely functional with lots of static.
2. Moto H700 - Seems to be good. (x2)
3. Moto HT820 - Stereo Headphones, but good.
4. Plantronics 310 - No report.
I'm using the Motorola H700 and it works fine.

I am using the HT700 for standard driving. But I also use the Motorola HT820, BT stereo headphones, and they work as well. Music plays from the phone, and if a phone call comes in, Microsoft Voice Command annouces the caller. I can then press the call phone, the music pauses, I take the call. When the call is over, the music resumes where it left off.
i have a set of the ht820 but I feel like a retard with em on cause they are huge, anyone tried those new slim ones they sell at the ATT store?

Then call the Olympics, cause I feel special
For me it’s a Plantronics 310 right now, but I'm looking to upgrade. I will likely stick with one of their products too, as I’ve processed around a quarter million inbound via their wired sets at work.
There was mention of a pretty cool Jawbone modification by AVERYSOUND in an earlier thread. It’s pricy however but worth looking at. It appears to address complaints I’ve heard about the earpiece not being a factor.
Update: I found Discovery 510 (Plantronics) that I had misplaced some time back. Well I charged it up and paired to the Kaiser earlier today. What a bummer. The sound quality is ok, but the volume is just too low, even at the max setting. It’s also bit more cumbersome to slip on in a pinch (like while driving). Bottom line is the 310 sounds much better to me from a volume standpoint.
Fwiw…

me too, doesn't stop me from wearing them
the new ones do look a whole lot cooler, I didn't care so much but with as sleek as the tilt looks my headphones should match
The Blueant Z9 works very well. I like how voice command is announced through the headset.
Jabra JX10
I have the JX10. It was a dream with my 8525 it sounded and worked great.
caveat: in general it is a very delicate and breakable headset -- I have had two of them and done numerous repairs to keep them from falling apart - I have cannibalized the first to keep the second one going - but what the hell, I love that little head set with my 8525.
BUT
It is an unusable pig connected to the Tilt.
It pairs ok, but when you activate voice command or try to answer a call it activates the phone but will not transfer sound (or mic) to the ear piece. Sometimes after a short time the JX10 beeps and then you can hit the connect button again and it will transfer the sound. If you place a call it will not play the ring signal into the ear piece or the handset and it will only allow you to connect sound (signaling you with a couple of beeps) to hear the call until after the called party has answered.
Maddening!
I've actually struggle to answer or make a call using it and finally got the sound through only to hear my friends on the other side yelling "HELLO?! - HELLO! - YOUR PHONE SUCKS!"
it's embarrassing.
Don't even get me started about how bad it sounds on the Tilt.
I'm tempted to go back to the Hermes, but I love my new Tilt...
I need a high quality compatible headset...
The Samsung WEP200 works very well with the Tilt.
im using the plantronics 590 and it works LIKE A CHARM!
there's a thread on this over in accessories btw. I'm moving this thread there as well. Let me know if you want me to merge the two.
Motorola S9 works very well. Much better than with WM6 on Hermes.
I still need to verify my Sony Erickson DS970 Lanyard Wireless Stereo Headset..
Jawbone
I purcahsed the jawbone with military sound dampening....its pretty cool. I use it alot and it sounds GREAT!
Now I am alos looking at the Mototola s9, as I want to be able to listen to music. Let me know if anyone has robb with the S9. for the reviews on the Motorola S9 seem 50/50.

I have been using mine for about 2 months and so FAR really good with the ATT Stock ROM. On the Hermes with WM6 cooked ROM's I experienced strange issues like music resuming after a call (even though the music was paused BEFORE the call came in). Since getting away from the cooked Hermes ROM's (no offense to anyone at all), the performance has been SOLID. I am very Happy...

Jabra BT8010 Convertible (single/stereo) headset
Well, since I figured I was going to be really stepping into the 21st century by getting my Tilt, I determined to jump into it with both feet ! Hence this headset.
I did alot of research on the BT headset (like I did on the Kaiser/Tilt itself), and I knew pretty much what I wanted to do -- and this Jabra BT8010 convertible (mono/stereo) headset totally fit the bill. I planned on answering calls as normal, but I listen to alot of music, too, and wanted just one thing to carry around. If you haven't seen one of these headsets online, it's about the only one I'm aware of that "converts" -- that is, it has a main unit, and the "second half", or "satellite" that makes the stereo part of the equation optionally plugs into and tethers to the main part when you want to listen to music, too. The whole thing is quite small and svelte -- though ever so slightly "cyborg" (you'd have to see it worn).
The function of this headset has been flawless so far, and the sound quality is just mind-blowing (yeah, it's that good). Volume won't get quite as head-bangingly loud as I might like, but the overall fidelity and usable flexibility of this combo just puts it head over shoulders above anything else I've tested out.
A little pricey, but they are just really good.
I use the stereo headset Jabra BT620s with the Kaiser. It works very well both for music and for the phone, even in noisy environments
The old school Motorola HS850 works fine from my experience. I also own a Jawbone, which sounds tinny when compared to the HS850.

Motorola S9 for me too
though I could never paired it to a 2nd device SIMULTANEOUSLY though ... any advice ??
I followed the instructions to a T ... yet, it always paired to the last one ... I thought this is capable of upto 9 devices in list ... and they said it's capabled of simultaneous pairing ???
summary:
/ paired to phone.
/ turn off phone and attempt to paired to 2nd device ( desktop stereo ... desktop PC ..etc..etc
/ even went as far as "unticked" the "use as stereo headset" withing the bluetooth setting on phone !! only ticked as " use as handsfree " ... tried both ways too.
it always connect only the the last paired device.
now ... if I'd only paired to the phone ... it works as advertised in terms of listening to music and calls come in get interupted to answer the call & back to music when call ended.
but I can't use it as just handsfree on the phone and listen to music from another device ( bluetooth home entertainment ... desktop bluetooth PC...etc )
pairing to any device(s) individually works fine ... just not simultaneously though
any advice ???

bluetooth stereo headset

im looking for something that i can listen to music from my phone wireless through a bluetooth headset... anyone have something like this? whats compatible with our phone? i want something sleek and small
BT Headphones
Hi from Germany, I'm using the Sony Ericsson HBH-DS970.
And I think, no I'm sure the are very good.
Have a look here:

I use it with the Mort Player and it's very good.
Try.
Best greetings
I use the Motorola MotoRokr S9. I love them. Took a while for them to stretch out and for my ears to get used to them. Other than that, the sound is awesome, they are stylish and durable, and they also support hands-free mode to take calls. I recommend them if you are willing to get used to the fit.

I have the Sony Ericsson HBH-DS980 and they work great. I am able to pair them with my laptop for stereo and also with the Kaiser for calls. Then when I leave the office I can pair exclusively to the Kaiser.
Work great and have suprizing battery life.

I have the Sony Ericsson HBH-DS980 as well, great headphones, you need to install the jetware bluetooth extension to enable some of the features though but they work really well. battery just goes on and on
Plantronics Pulsar 260: These worked ok over all, but two negatives. Music quality was not up to par, and volume was just to low. They are worthless in a noisy environment.
Moto HT820: These work flawlessly. Functionality is perfect. Sound quality is awesome for bluetooth head phones. Only one negative. They are HUGE. I couldn't wear them in public without some embarrassment.
Moto SoundPilots s705: I like this type of ear phones overall. Music playback was a little bertter than ok, and it had a FM radio. I liked that! But I had to return them because everybody said I sounded muffled on them.
Moto s9: These are the ones I have settled down with. I was skeptical they could match the sound quality of the HT820s, but they do! I like the form because they don't stick out like bug ears. The one negative, phone calls only play in one ear. What's up with that? All the others play in both years.

Is it possible to connect your own earphones to this device?

when you install the Jetware software all the features of the DS980 work except for viewing phonebook and music track name.
You're able to see your call history etc, owner information and voice dialling over bluetooth with MS Voice command
for a full list look here http://www.jetwaremobile.com/
It's a free trial and you can always uninstall it, i did notice every time you reinstall it the trial starts again

it has in ear buds attached so you can't fit your own to the DS980, it's a sony walkman product anyway so you know they're going to be normal sony quality
Im currently using:
Moto HT820 and DR-BT10CX and i just ordered the HBH-DS970. The first two works good on my Kaiser and Treo 680.
I find that the DR-BT10CX has a longer range compared to Moto's. And even though its a small headset, it seems to last longer than my moto's.
anyone have any other suggestions?
If lots-of-bass is your thing...
I have had Plantronics 590 (I think they were called), some HP phones, Motorola 820, but I settled on the iTech BluePro (http://www.itechdynamic.com/en/products_spec.asp?cid=3&pid=03020).
They are big, over-the-head headphones...but I listen a lot to music every day, and sometimes in noisy environments (in trafic walking to/from work, at the gym), AND most of my music is in the trance/techno/electronica/dance genres...so I prefer a headset that has lots and lots of bass...and these are the best wireless headphones I have heard in that department...actually...they are the best headphones I have had in that area, period!
PROs with iTech BluePro
Excellent sound for "techno-dudes" like me
Comfortable (IF you don't mind the "big-over-the-head"-look)
Long batterylife (20+ hours playtime, 550+ standby time)
Uses one AA battery (I use a reachargable battery)
CON's with iTech BluePro
No battery indicator (have not seen ANY headphones with this though)
The "hold multipurpose button for 3 secs to turn on/off" (same on all BT headphones I tried though)
When used for talking on phone, it seems to me that people on other end perceive me as more unclear than with the Motorola 820's I had, which people said sounded excellent
...in short...I am very happy with these headphones...untill someone comes out with simmilar headphones with a batteryindicator and a dedicated on/off button (so that I with a quick glance can see they are on, and turn on/off in an instant).
I just ordered the Logitech HS200. My brother has it and it works great.
Im using the sonorix c3's atm. Its really nice for the price but the earbuds that come with it blow. So if you already have nice headphones this is a nice set
I love the Motorola S9, I use it with me phone and my 5g ipod at the same time, i think it is the only one that can do that, it mast have two BT chips in there..
I have New in a box the Motorola HT820 + usb BT PC stereo adapter.. $40 + shipping
The Motorola S9 are pretty cool and absolutely a must for working out. They are pretty thin and since they wrap around the back of the head, many people don't even notice you wearing them. One problem I had with them was that the volume buttons got stuck and could only adjust volume down. Soon enough I could not hear and had to exchange them. I figured it was due to heavy sweating while working out. This pair I wipe down after every workout and they've been fine.
I tried SONY CMT-HX5BT HiFi stereo without problem Also volume control works like a charm
I've been using the Nokia BH-501 and they seem to work great. Doesn't have as many controll function as of the the other ones but their pretty light and comfortable. They also fold and has 11hours play time in music mode. For $40 from buy.com its not a bad deal. Also found the Motorola HT820 for $29.99 from n1wireless.com. Best deal I've seen on those.

What is the best BT headset with A2DP and a mute button?

What is the best BT headset with A2DP and a mute button if there are any?
At the very least I am looking for a good BT headset for the Raphael that has a mute button. I constantly need to mute unmute my calls and I can't believe the Raphael doesn't have more side buttons. I have a fuze and am trying to program the PTT to do this but so far no luck. thanks for any info.
Plantronics Voyager 855
Plantronics Voyager 855 seems to have mute and a2dp. I might have found the answer
I love my Plantonrics Voyager 855.
It a great headset. Only issue is the boom on it feels kinda weak.
Sennheiser MM200
I got some with my sony wireless walkman, didn't realise they took calls too, freaked me out when my Boss' voice came through...
They have play, pause (as good as mute) functions and next / previous track, and volume control too.
model is DRBT21GB
I bought the Bluetrek Duo headset, it can be used both like a single or an A2DP headset. Works like a charm both ways with touch pro, music plays realy nice. It comes with 3.5mm jack so you can put whatever headset you wish.
PDA Jones
Motorola S9 is great for stereo, has mute, answers phone, mp3, etc.
Plantronics 510 does all the above, in mono

how does your s9 work outside?
i have the hd and inside its great but outside its absoloutely awful
and if i put the phone close to to my head its bad but somehow if its in my pocket it works better
Any more reviews on Voyager 855? I just ordered one, it looks like it will solve all the problems that I have.
How does the music sound? Anybody used it for VOIP (skype, ventrilo) with Vista?

I thought the S9HD is a better one ... how is the 'talk' when you're outside say window down or in the bus/train?
I'm still waiting for it to be available in Australia.. sigh~
I used Voyager 855 and returned it as it got some cracking noise when put it in my pocket (pants)... music quality is good but not as loud enough. A few issue when trying to make it works for the first time....
Also thinking of getting the DRBT21GB as well.. to see how well it perform...
has anyone tried sony's HBHIS800?
I like my s9-hd. Gets pretty good range. Sounds good in stereo. Good enough in calls. only issue I have is bike commuting. I have the phone in my saddle bag behind me and it seem to be about 60% successful. Sometimes it is perfect. other times it is so skippy that I just go without. If I put it in my camleback when I mountain Bike I have no issues at all. The only thing I can think off is that wither tha fabric of the bag is interfering or my body is interfering, or both.

I had S9, then Switched to HD version. Love it. I'm in construction, so noise is an issue, but with S9HD I enjoy music, bluetouth and perfect earplugs. Highly recommended. Just watch out for ebay fakes. I bought mine at Best Buy with $10 extra fro 2 year warranty, No regrets
I just got MotoROKR S605. IMHO, it's simply one of the best BT stereo headsets on the market. I had Jabra BT3030 before, but it wasn't loud enough; then i had Sony Ericsson DS980, but battery life sucked; Finally, i found S605 that has decent headsets that come with it, battery meter is a good option too. It has a built-in radio, all control buttons are so easy to access. The only con it has - micro usb charging port.
HBH-IS800
Hej,
yes i have the hbh-is800 and its great. Sound is good and loud.
i also have the Plantonrics Voyager 855. I find the hbh-IS800 better because its small and pretty. The bluetooth is better by the hbh-is800.
I advise you to HBH-is800
FWIW - pretty happy with my Voyager 855. Performs well in mono and stereo. Way better than my old Motorola headset on all counts. My only gripe is that none of the included earbuds fits my ear quite well enough to go without the ear hook for any real length of time (and certainly not if I was being active).

I agree..i ordered my 855 from buy.com for around 50 bux but it wouldnt turn on..so i sent it back got another one and i fell in love right away..and yes none of the earbuds fit my ear either forcing me to use the hook and that still causes it to pull away from my head eventually causing the headset to hang and point down which looks retarded but whatever..(i wonder why more headset companies dont use flexible earhooks like my old jabra bt160 had..it also vibrated which was fun )..except when using the stereo adapter..that stays in about 80% of the time..and when JAMMED in the sound quality is quite good..enough to get some good bass..my only gripe is you cant change the volume unless the bt is active (in call while connected or with a2dp active) and ive been experiencing some weirdness lately..maybe its my rom but sometimes it will just disconnect from my device and force the call back to the handset and sometimes i cant get any audio when making a call forcingme to use the nadset until i turn off and on the 855..but other than that im glad i bought it
