BT headset - tiny sound

Does anyone else thinks that BT headset sound is a bit tiny? There is no low frequencies present that makes sound a bit harsh. I am comparing it with HTC Excalibur and Trinity. Is there a way to adjust this parameter via registry?

Yeah i thought this....Ive been using my bluetooth stereo headset and ive also tried the wired headset.
Im sure this was the same on the tinity though wasnt it when it was first released.

Stereo headset works fine for me with plenty of Bass. It's a regular BT headset that I am talking about. Both Jabra JX 10 and Nokia BH 900.

i have jx10 and everything was great with regular phone conversations, even the voice button works.
i have not try the stereo bt headsets so no comment on the music side.

when you say stereo headset...do you mean the bundled mini USB headset included with the Kaiser?
Thanks

no i mean stereo Bluetooth headsets. my jabra jx10 is only mono (one side), some BT has 2 sides (L&R) stereo for musics.

Sorry yeah i misread the first post .
I actually thought though with the standard bundled USB headset the sound was a little tinny.
with my stereo DS970 (se) headset the sound is fine.....I was talking about the standard USB headset.
sorry guys misread the first post.

anyone have registry keys that can be tweaked to make BT mono sounds better?

Guys, this is the first HTC device with this kind of problem! It really drives me crazy. Am I only one who annoyed by this?

I'm having the same problem with tiny BT sound over A2DP. I'm using an i.Tech S.38 which works perfectly apart from the VERY low volume (volume sliders in actual programs and volume control on S.38 are set to full.). When I pair the S.38 with my laptop the volume is much higher.

Best earphones for TyTN II - MP3 Playback

Hi All,
I bought HTC Tytn II recently... It's rock.....
But i am very disappointed with the earphone quality of HTC... No Bass at all.... I am not saying mp3 playing quality is bad... I tried my motorola BT stereo headset and it gave me fantastic output with heavy bass..... So the quality of my HTC earphone is bad...
I found several earphones on HTC website.... can you please help me to find out an excellent HTC earphone which can give full Bassy effects.... or any other brand which haves mini usb port...... Dont want converters please.......
Thanks.

Why not? You are unlikely to find a decent pair of USB earphones IMHO.
I'd get a small adapter and buy some sure earphones for the best possible sound.

don't mean to hijack the thread but can anybody recommend a good bluetooth stereo headset? i want one that will be good with music and also allow me to make calls.
I am particularly looking for an in ear type earphone or a unit that allows me to use my own ear buds.

I've got the i-Tech Clip Radio (http://www.expansys.com/p.aspx?i=145553). Works well with the kaiser, got play/pause, next/prev, volume, and call buttons, bulit in FM radio, and allows you to plug your own earphones in as it has a 3.5 jack.

How is this unit for bass?
Also it looks just like the htc S100, did HTC rebrand it?

I listen to alot of dance music, and with Sony's EX-71s it does me fine!
Yeh, the S100 is HTC's rebranded version of the non FM radio version!

I also have the iTech clip (excellent unit with medium audio quality) as it can handle calls and lets you use any 3.5mm jack units you have but you have loads of cables about (use my B&O earbuds on that).
For genaral use and if I want to anser a call I use the Promate PM-2006 BT stereo headset as it is a halfway sized headphone with good audio quality and in call holding.
But for sheer audio enjoyment, I use my Creative CB2530, absolute bliss and can put most Hi-Fi's to shame.
SOZ, probably not what the thread starter asked for but WHO is gonna produce a GOOD set of headphones terminated in a mini usb? You will need the converter or BT (no converter at all!)
Every BT unit I have works seamlessly, no clicks, no splutters, no bad audio with my 'out of the box' non-carrier HTC TyTnII.
Damn, its either the beer or I should have been a salesman! Smiles.

There aren't any "best" headphones without using an adapter. If you want the best you'll need to spend you're looking at the Shure SE530 or go custom which is around $1000. It all depends on your budget.

ive got the Shure e4c's connected through an adapter and i can say you can't get better sound.. its so crystal clear, it sounds better than live people in front of you talking

ok, I've something else to add.....well asK
Is there any bluetooth stereo heaphones (with very good sound quality but aren't humongous so as to make me look like a Martian ) that can pair with two devices at once?
For example, I have two phones which support A2DP and I use one as my music phone (Nokia N93i) but also use the TYTN 2 as my business phone. What I want is to be listening to my Nokia N93i through the earphones, and If my TYTN 2 rings, the music pauses so I can speak to the caller on the TYTN 2 then revert back to listening to music back on the N93i.....
.....is this even possible?

Well yes to the pairing to two sperate devices, and no to the 'very good sound quality but aren't humongous'. The Promate PM-2006 headset is a 'medium' sized' 'medium to good quality' folding headset with mike. Pair it to both units then disable the function you don't want it to do on whichever phone (under BT settings). It will halt audio and answer the call from the other unit. These headphones were primarily developed to use with a BT mp3 players with capability to connect to your mobile phone but WM phones do both!

Look at the Jabra BT8010. They're a little large, but have the advantage of using it in mono or stereo mode, as well as connecting to 2 devices simultaneously.

Incidentally, Seidio makes earphones that end in the proprietary htc mini-usb format. Haven't tested them out, but they're the only other ones i know of that don't need a converter.

Another vote for iTech Clip Radio. Works awesome with my Ultimate Ears Super fi 5 Extended Bass buds.

I bought Kyocera from here: http://www.buy.com/retail/product.asp?sku=204239053&loc=111&pageFormat=20&rs=1&#cReviews
The best headphones I ever bought and have the most functionality. The only problem that some people might have is the look and size of the headphones. I have not charged the headphones for a month now and still running on standby.

has anyone tried any Sony bluetooth stereo headset?

I think it might be possible using the Sony Erickson BT Earphone Stereo set. Check FleaBay... They got them cheaper than anywhere else. ( BT phone would have to be close to you, just disable the bluetooth on N93i, however The Sony Er unit has a 3.5 jack that can be plugged into the N93i, just marry the TytnII to the bluetooth)

If you marry to phones BT to the headset, and if you get a call from one while listening to music from the other, you will hear both the caller voice and the music at the same time. Jabra is one headset that I know of that can accept two devices, however when tried, I heard the device playing music however the music volume was very low while I talked on the phone. Not a great setup but might do the trick.

Crappy sound with bluetooth earphones.

I'm using Jabra 3030 and I'm getting really crappy sound. If I use the standard earphones, everything sounds great.
I read somewhere that an alternative music player would solve the problem, but nope. Sounds just as bad.
Has this got anything to do with audio booster?
Is there a walkaround to this problem?

Isn't there anyone who has a solution to this problem?

I bought a Jabra 3030 this saturday: Getting it exchanged due to excessive background noise.
It is noise you have too? If so, there is nothing wrong with the phone, its the crappy 3030 as other phones and even a laptop does the same. I've tested with a DS-200 and it sounds as good as wired buds.

There are some registry tweaks that greatly improve BT audio.
Under HKLM\Software\ Microsoft\Bluetooth \A2DP\Settings , remove the "MaxSupportedBitPool" and "BitPool" entries.
As usual, don't touch your registry if you are not sure, and keep a backup just in case...

No, i think it's the lack of bass that makes the sound so bad.
That's why I thought of audio booster.
When I'm watching movies the sound is ok, but my metal sounds blah.
I don't think the problem lies in the Jabra device.

Renewing topi. Does anybody have any idea how to enable AudioBooster on BT headphones? It is disabled unless you connect normal headphones. Hopefully there is an option in reg somwhere to do it....

Why not just try a player that has a built in pre-amp????
- CorePlayer
- SRS WOW
That would solve your problem - if lack of bass is the problem. At least it would be a good (and quick) test.

Music player and A2DP

Hi all,
First of all, I have searched a lot but could not find an answer to my question -- if it has already been posted then my apologies.
I have a strange problem. I listen to music via A2DP using the TF3D music player. Everything works fine until I stop listening and switch off my headset. If I then want to listen to music again and switch on my headset, I can't hear anything (either through the headset or the phone speaker) despite the music being played by the player until I soft reset the device and start again, when everything works fine! I have now got a new device for my car (again using A2DP) and have exactly the same problem.
I don't really want to get another music player because the default player serves my purpose just fine.
Any suggestions?
Thanks a bunch.

How did you change the default music player and disabled the bitpool? Can you please explain the procedure to me?
Thanks

Hallo,
i usec diamond twaeks. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=409540
You can change the audiomanager to windows and at bluetooth you can switch the bitpool to disable.
I have used the bitpool at high, and i have the problem, i change it to disable an i have no more problem.
i hope this is the bug and no random...

Hi again earthjumper,
I have changed the bitpool so let's see what happens. I still don't know how to change the default music layer to media player!

Does it better the audio quality in A2DP ?
Cause I think the Diamond performs very bad, sound quality is awful when I listen to the music through my Jabra BT-8010.
Hissing, bad sound quality, distorsion... What a mess... My Sony Ericsson k800performs MUCH better and acts as a real audio player. With HTC, I could'nt manage to have decent audio in A2DP...
Any tweaks in Diamond Tweaks?
Thanks !

Try the free version of Pocket Music. If you enable the equalizer and play around with the presets, it really sounds good on the Diamond, both through the speaker and through BT headset. All others I tried I had the same experience as you.
http://www.pocketmind.com/pocketmusic.htm

THX a lot for ypour quick answer !
I'll give it a spin and keep you updated.

I am afraid it does not work at all...
I still hear these distorsions/metallic noises in high frequencies. It not "earable". It still really creates unintentionnal sounds, hissing and noise, lots of noise...
I have tried any single MP3 player for my diamond but none is working... I guess the A2DP is defective in ths unit.
I am left with a very sad feeling of disappointment... It's another world when I plug in the default corded headset which came out with the unit. Nice sound, not the best of course, but a REAL increase in quality. Niothing is wrong in high frequencies, everything is much smoother and less metallic.
Thanks for your help anyway !
Any other tweak that I might use ? Registry setting, Diamond Tweak... ?
Sound is so unnatural it looks like there's something wrong with a setting... And I don't think the Jabra BT-8010 is faulty here. It could be, but I really don't think so...

@cornwall,
have you change any bluetooth settingss?
when i change the joint-stereo setting to disable, the sound over my bt-headset very bad.let it enable the sound is good, but low bass.

Thats not your Jamba, i bought yesterday Sony Ericsson Bluetooth stereo loudspeaker,
(MSB-100 i think) and the sound is terrible - you hear so much high frequencies distorsions that your ears suffers (and i'm not a sound freak!).
Tested the loudspeaker with old sony ericsson - no distorsions, sound quality 200% better..
Whats sad I haven't found the solution so far,
only SRS WOW (settings WOW Bass) brings me a little bit satisfaction..
Will try more tricks, maybe new ROM with new drivers ??

Hi all,
We seem to have drifted from my original query! I still have not found the solution. I tried earthjumper's remedy but it didn't work. I have tried other players but you can't control them via Bluetooth (i.e. play/pause/volume etc.). Windows Media Player is OK BUT every time it is run, you have to select the music and the library navigation is meant to be done with a stylus. The thing I like most about TF3D music player is that the music that you have selected to play (finger navigation) is always there even when you reset the device.
So my question again -- is there any solution for my problem or can someone tell me of a Windows media player skin which doesn't require a stylus?
Thanks and apologies for the long post.

I agree, I had an orbit 2, and the sound was fantastic through my car bluetooth stereo, now with the xda ignito the sound crackels and sounds terrible on high frequencys.

Which headset for P970?

Hi, Can someone help me to find a headset (with mic) [no headphones, sorry] fully compatible with our p970?
I bought:
AKG K350: microphone doesn't work
Sony DR-EX39PP: microphone doesn't work
...
If you write me the model of compatible headphones/headset, I can make a list of compatible/ not compatible models.

I love the LG in-ear earphones. Probably the best part of the phone :\ Didn't expect them to be good but had to try them out after my old ones died. The bass is pretty solid with PowerAmp
