palm treo pro headset - Palm Treo Pro Accessories

Hi everybody,
As you maybe already know the Treo Pro doesn't function well with a lot of headsets out there but I found one which is pretty okay for music, has good build quality and works properly!
Jabra Rhytm
I bought them for €34,99 which is pretty okay because now I can use this one also for my music. I do find that the Sennheiser buds does fit a bit better in the ear, but the Jabra's are good as well.
I also noticed when you plug some headsets all the way in the treo's jack and you hear this sort of 'under water noise' when you play music, the headset won't work properly and if that's not the case you can use 'm.
Hope this helps!

Yes -- I have used the Motorola S9 (now broken) and the Jabra BT8010. Sounds good with both. Go for it.
hi there
i use it with my sony hbh ds970.
the only issues are:
would love it to be louder
and it doesnt display the caller name or song on the headset led.
over all the quality is good though.
hope this helps.

Any louder and mine would burst my eardrums! Are you sure yours is the genuine item? I've heard there are fakes arround which aren't as loud.
Or do you just like your music VERY loud?
ive tryed 3 bluetooth stereo headphones now, none of them where loud enough. my last set plantronics are ok, but you just cant beat the quality of a wired set. IMHO
And AMEO/ATHENA could use a plain wired bose headset : 99 euro the in-ear, but you can use also the noise cancelling ones ....
I assume that my hbh's are real given that i purchased them from an orange store (at 40% more than expansis- my fault for being impatient I guess).
the supplied headset is akin to something you would find in a cracker. my b&o A8 headphones sound great but i want auto switching between calls and music hence the sony option..
can any one suggest a bluetooth tranceiver with caller id (that works with wm6), built in mike and media player controls that allow me to use my own headphones?
oh... and by the way i do like loud music but my bt headset is significantly quieter.
cheers

You might consider the Jabra BT8010 which can function either way.

Hi IN,
does your HBH-DS970 vibrate at all? Mine doesn't and I can't find info on how to set it to vibrate mode. If it doesn't vibrate then this headset and its retarded sister (HBH-DS980, which I bought) are the dumbest headsets that have ever been built. They don't VIBRATE!!! So the only way to get call notification is to wear the ear pieces all the time. If you're thinking of buying it for your Athena, save yourself the trouble. DON'T!!!!!!! I'm returning it to Fry's Electronics after work today. Too bad as they are soo stylish. But then it's common for hot looking guys/girls to have no brains..... and hot looking electronics to have important functions missing!!!
hi there
nope mine doesn't vibrate but then to be fair I purchased in knowing that it doesn't.
there is a bluetooth watch (thingy) that will eventually be compatible with wm phones that will vibrate (not the sony/fosil ones). I will post back once it reaches market.
In an ideal world I would love a remote bluetooth device with vibrate, led/lcd (compatible with wm), built in mike, allows me to use my B&O head phones, complete control of media player (fm radio would also be nice).
surely not too much to ask for???
I think the closest is the NOKIA-HS-12W (not sure if it still marketed though)
Cool... Thanks for the info.

bluetooth stereo headset

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:
http://reviews.cnet.com/bluetooth-headsets/sony-ericsson-hbh-ds970/4505-12523_7-32147864.html
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.
Brad
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.

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.

Best Bluetooth headphone with tytn ii ?

I would like to know what are the good headsets available for kaiser where the sound quality is great without any call drops and static and which is compatible with dutty's v3 .
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I currently use the Blue Ant Z9 with Dutty's v2 (Medium) ROM. Works great.
And I would like to know what this has to do with Kaiser upgrades. C'mon guys, is it that hard to use the appropriate forum?
I have tried several headsets (sony 980, Motorola 820, and Jabra 8010) and have settled on using the jabra set as my primary set because it is more comfortable then the 820, and does NOT have drop issues like the sony 980. the moto set works verY well but i found the wrap around uncomfortable. I'm using Dutty's v2 currently.
Jabra 8040
Hi ,
I started using Motorla S9 , its one of the best bluetooth headsphone / handsfree i have used. The stereo quality is gr8 !! and even the handsfree is good even with little bit of noise around you . i recommed the S9!.
HTC S100's with a decent pair of headphones for me. (Usually my little B&O earphones, occasionally my big old Sennheisers)
Jabra 8040

Another 8040 here. So far so good. Waiting for the Invisio Q7 to launch next month.
jabra bt 620s here . I love it , don't have any problems. Only when I go by bike and the wind is blowing in mic when calling but that is to be expected.
The Jawbone is the best headset on the market IMHO. Works phenominally with the TILT.
I have 3 headsets. 2 of them are incredibly quiet, even at full volume. The 3rd is a Jawbone. It is actually painfully loud, but sounds great, to me and to the other person on the phone. I would go for that.
copied from previous post.....
I've used this headset for about a year, first with an Eten x500 and now with the tilt. Performance has been near perfect. On the tilt, I've never had a dropped signal while playing music, sound quality is decent, works with MS voice command. I don't know much about the manufacturer or support as I haven't had any issues with the device.
http://www.slashphone.com/106/3981.html
Another vote for the Jawbone. Works great. Also can attest to the performance of the Sony Ericsson HBH DS980 stereo headset. Works great as well...but you need the bluetooth extensions from JetWare to get it to do almost everything....phone book transfer doesnt work but everything else is there.
Brad
The S9
The Motorola S9 is extremely sexy and the Audio quality is great. I got mine off ebay (new, sealed for 40 bucks with ship), cause I was told they only come included with certain Motorola phones?
Anyway, that what I would recommend
Jabra 8040

I think the OP requested information on the 'best bluetooth *headphone*'. The Jabra 8040 seems to be a headset, and seems to only able to answer phone calls and not play music, as one ear is left uncovered and void of hearing any sound.

Plantronics Voyager 855.
Better than the S9's I've had. Better than the HS820 headphones.
Awesome as a regular BT headset. Semi-noise reduction and even EQ sound as a stereo A2DP headset.

What's the best stereo Bluetooth Headset (A2DP) for HD?

Can anyone recommend something that already works well with HTC Touch/Pro?
Does Motorola S9 work with WM6 BT stack for stereo?
There are no good a2dp stereo headsets because the equalizer only works with wired headsets.. Htc: please fix this.
im using the sony stereo bluetooth headset hbh-ds980. works fine.. the volume for the music and for the phone calls are the same key but the headset keeps them programmed differently. so its nice. the onyl thing i saw that sucks is that it doesn't bring a clip to attach the receiver to your clothes.. so if you doing a lot of moving then its going to fly up and what not.. so thats annoying.. i took the clip from the standard HTC headphones that came with the phone and put it on the bluetooth and just slightly attach it to my shirt.
I'm using a Motorola S9 and it works perfectly. No problems at all, all buttons do work. Sound quality is very good!
One more vote for hbh-ds980. Been using it with polaris, diamond and HD. The music quality is quite good and functionality including addressbook and last calls access works fine.
The Motorola s9 HD's are out and the seem to have improved quite a bit. I personally have the regular s9's and they work great.
oh yea.. sry forgot to add.. haha. you can go into the recent calls list and into the phone book quite easily.. and have multiple devices hooked up at one time and get calls from them all..
the only problem is that i get the phone number instead of the persons name when they are claling me.. does anyone know why? the names show up when in the phonebook and everything..
Ok so not bluetooth but i use my sennheiser PXC 450, noise reduction...cant imagine better sound on the move
Sony DR-BT21G
I found an equalizer that works. The internal one in coreplayer.. Now nokia bh-903 bluetooth headset have bass and nice sound.

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.

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
