I found southwing sa505 for like around 29 bucks on ebay. I plan to get them however i heard that i can't listen to movies throught bt headsets. Is this true? That's all i will use them for other than talking (don't listen to music much) I have the 8525 and Tilt. Will listening to movies on them work for sure? Also, any reviews or experience on the headphones would be great. Thanks
theres a program that reroutes system sounds to your bt headset. so you can listen to music on it. i assume if you can listen to music, then listening to movies would be the same thing.
Hmm, i know you can listen to music but somebody on another forum said that you couldn't so that's why i just want somebody to say that you can or if i can't.
It can, search for BTaudio Toggle.exe you can map a button to allow you to toggle all audio thru the BT headset. It works great for Nav, Movies, Slingbox, Streaming Radio, whatever. A must have app.
If they are stereo bluetooth they will work, I have the tilt and the Motorola s9's and they work fine for all audio on my Tilt. If they are mono headsets the only phones that will let you listen to audio are Nokia phones.

I was thinking of getting those and i really wanted some short personal reviews but never got any. Now i'm leaning towards the southwings sa505 because i found them for 30 bucks. If i can find the s9's for around 50, i'll get them maybe.
There is a big difference between music and videos: music just needs to be streamed, but videos need to have sync between audio and video. BT headsets are good enough for it though, because I sometimes watch videos on my PC with a BT headset.

How do you know if they are fake or not? Are these fake?

Those are 100% fake, no doubt about it. The original one costs around US$ 70.
The best proof of a original pair is the hologram that comes wrapped around it.
I bought mine from this guy: http://cgi.ebay.com/Motorola-MotoRO...814724QQihZ012QQcategoryZ133229QQcmdZViewItem
Mine is original and came sealed as advertised.
Be very careful when buying, especially on EBay, most are fakes there.
If you live in the US you can buy from Amazon, it is more reliable.
I do live in the US but haven't found a good price on the s9's. do you know if these are fake to?

What do you raccomend?
i need something not so expensive that uses the hands free and the wireless stereo services
/edit: sorry i missed section...
If you're talking wireless headphones, I'd get some motorola ht820's.
They can be used to listen to your music, AND answer calls with their built-in mic.
Here's a pic: http://www.welectronics.com/Bluetooth/motorola_ht820.jpg
You can get these for about £20 online.
But if you're just after handsfree, I'd recommend the Bluetrek G2. Nice looking earpiece.
Pic: http://www.ecoute-ecoute.com/images/produits/BLUETREKG2.jpg
Slightly more pricey, expect to pay about £20 - £27 for this.
EDIT: Oh and for the record, with the Motorola's I managed to get about 30 meters (YES! Thirty meters!) away from my phone before they started to lose signal. I was amazed! I was messing in my office and couldn't believe it.. They've got a brillian battery life (I've had about 21 hours use, full volume , so far and they're still going strong!). They've also never lost signal/cut out (apart from when i did my experiment above ). And the quality is as good as wired.
yes but it's 100+ euros the motorola one!
i think i'll go for the bluetrek...are you sure that supports both hands free and wireless stereo?

No, as I said it's just hands free...
Regarding the price of the motorola ht820's, where is it you are searching for them? Here's a list where they're selling for no more than £30 (39.6661 EUR)...

I just got the Jabra 3030 this week and it works great, the sound is excelent
http://www.pocket-lint.co.uk/news/n.../Jabra-BT3030-Wireless-headset-launched.phtml
http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/B000XSXZVU/nextaguk_rt-21/ref=nosim
what about LevelOne BLH-1200
http://global.level1.com/products2.php?Id=783
I have it and works perfect so far
Also if you have your own 3,5 mm jack headphones, you can try Philips SHB7100
http://www.consumer.philips.com/con..._CONSUMER/Bluetooth-Stereo-Headset+SHB7100-05
Get the Jabra BT 8040. Has a Stereo A2DP option and sounds pretty good.
I'm digging my new Plantronics Voyager 855. Sounds pretty good so far and does both mono and stereo A2DP. My previous headset was a Moto H700 which did not play well with my Tilt.
Plantronics 655 was terrible for the Kaiser.. hope the 855 is better
Plantronics voyager 855 for Tilt
Does the earpiece play the ringtone in your ear
Found the Motorola one at 25 GBPs!
(and bought )
Has anyone tried the above mentioned devices with MS Voice Command? If so, how well did it work? I'm particularly interested in the Plantronics 855 and Jabra 8040.
I use the Jabra BT8010 and it works and sounds great.
Which ROM and radio do you have? I have also BT8010 but the quality is not good...
I'm using Dutty's DialTouch v2 and Radio Version 1.27.12.17
Can anyone confirm that the Plantronics 855 works well with Voice Command and Dutty's 6.1 rom?
I'm very unsettled between this two models:
OEM Plantronics Voyager 855 Stereo Bluetooth Headset
JABRA BT8040
which do you recommend?
I have the Motorola S9's and they work absolutely amazing. Not one complain about them..slick design, clear and loud music, and everything you'd want in wireless headphones.
BT Headset
Why don't I see the HTC Bluetooth mentioned.
I find the quality very good and hooks up with WM 5, 6 and 6.1 perfectly.
This headset uses A2DP for stereo and the advantage is that it's small and can take any pair of earphones you wish with a 3.5mm stereo jack.
The battery life is excellent and uses the same charger as the TyTN/TyTN II.
The range is approx. 10 m+ in an unhindered situation.
The model is the BH S100.
Hi all,
I wonder if anyone can recommend a good Bluetooth Stereo headset (max £50 although anything near the £30 mark would be a bonus).
I would prefer them to be discreet i.e. in ear as opposed to over the ears, and would need the ability to pause, skip etc. and if possible (but not essential) the ability to change the headphones.
Thanks in advance,
Fuzzmo.

Sony Ds-205. Best one I tried so far.
Motorla S9s are great and you can easily find them in that price range; if you can pitch in a bit more, the S9HDs are also nice (but more expensive).

Ok cool - does it allow you to pause, scan, and skip tracks?
I also heard about the Jabra BT3030 - has anyone tried these with the X1?
i prefer the SONY-Ericsson HBH-BS220.....
changable Headphones, good Battery life (8h for A2DP/more than 10h of talk time), battery display, excellent sound quality and a very good noise reduction and automatic volume management (gets louder if you are in a noisy area)..... but i use it with a pair of Audeo PFE headphones from Phonak (I work there ^^)
I have a Nextlink/Invisio G5 headset. I had this headset for about 2 years now. Good headset, small discreet and because I wear glasses, the in ear fit works best for me. Earloops sux for us glasses wearers! LOL For the pricetag of around 50 bux you cant go wrong. The only negative is that in high winds, the headset really doesn't work all to well, but for the price and style it works for me who uses the headset day to day in the car with the windows up.
I am looking into the Jawbone Prime headsets in the next few weeks. They are a bit pricy but being Jawbone, I may opt for it.

I'll investigate these a little further. Am tempted by the Jabra BT3030 or the DS-205 that Jack mentioned. Thanks to all who replied (although if there are more suggestions then feel free to list them).

Trust me. I tried many BT stereo headsets (Sony: DS-220,205,970,980, Clip D Radio, Jabra (forget what model) ..etc) and ONLY Sony's gives the best sound quality (sound quality among Sony's are similar). DS 220 and DS 205 are basically the same with pause, scan, and skip tracks support on 205 only. Jabra BT3030 is not 3.5mm jack which will give you headache in finding a good headphone.
And one added benefit on Sony's BT headset is you can charge while using it. (Other brands will stupidly turn off if you try to charge the battery).
DS-205 + EX500SL match your X1 nicely

None of the headsets you listed have anything on this:
http://www.sennheiserusa.com/newsite/productdetail.asp?transid=502413
The DS980 is not bad...but still it doesn't sound great. It's probably some sort of limitation with the bluetooth transfer rate, as it still sounds only decent after you replace the earbuds with some higher quality ones.
Also the Sony ones have NimH batteries as far as I remember and their battery life is pretty mediocre.
Of course if you're not after great sound quality...any of the ones above will do

Hehe I think you may well have persuaded me on the 205 (and it's £50 online) - out with the Credit Card - and thanks for the heads up on the Jabra, that is one thing a lot of people don't mention. Gonna pair these with my Denon AH-C700s (a bit old but burned in and give me a wonderful deep Bass - until I can save up for the Sennheiser IE8's!)

I am after the best sound quality my £50 budget would allow. If money wasn't and issue they'd be right up there as I am sure they'd sound great but they're more than a little out of my price range
EDIT: Hmmm £87 online - should I???? Arrrgggghhh!!!! More thinking to do.....
i use motorola s9 while running on the treadmill, works out nicely because it's light and doesn't squeeze your head

The ear buds are not replacable on the DS980 without major surgery, or did you just mean the rubber bits? DS980 does not have a 3.5mm jack. I have HBH-DS220 and are happy with it, I use it with some etymotic ER6i which are good too, as an added bonus they can be plugged directly into the x1 if you have forgotten to charge up the DS220 too, something else you cant do if your headphones are permantly attached to the BT headset.

Yeah I was talking about major surgery
Actually the ear buds seem to be pretty good because once wired, they produce excellent sound. Hence the conclusion that it's something with the bluetooth module that's limiting. It seems like it's limited to medium quality transfer rate or something.
Either way, I used the DS-980 for a year and had no issues with it. In terms of sound quality though, the one I posted simply beats them. Again, if excellent sound quality is not an issue, go with any of the ones scote suggested.
Need help
I have the choice between two headsets:
1. DS 980
2. DS 205
what is important to me, is compatibility with X1 and battery life
Hello people from the planet earth=P just joking! Try the Jabra BT3030 Bluetooth Stereo Headset! I have it and i LOVE it!
Hey guys,
I am looking for a good, reasonably sound proof handsfree kit for my HD2.
Either bluetooth or corded is fine. It needs to have reasonably sound proof headphones, to block out most external noise (my old X1 had amazing handsfree headphones, but my girlfriend has those now).
A handsfree kit with a mic near the mouth would be very handy also. I walk around a lot, so there is often a lot of traffic noise.
If anyone could give me suggestions of kits they have tried, it would be awesome!
I don't have a massive budget sadly. £30-£50 max.
Thanks in advance guys, I look forward to your suggestions

Hello Madindehead,
You might look at these. I do not have them but, have only good things to say about other Sennheiser products I do own. Maybe someone that does have them can comment.
Sennheiser MM200 bluetooth stereo headset, cell phone headset
My plan is this setup for once I get my hands on a USA T-Mobile HD2:
In Ear Monitors: Sennheiser IE 8
Bluetooth,Mic,Volume/Music controls: Sony Ericsson MW-600
I will not use the Sony Headphones that come with the MW-600. It has a 3.5mm Jack so I can use my IE8's
Thank you,
Monnie
I just bought an MM200 - but hadn't seen that MW600 - that looks great.... might change it...
The MM 200 is sadly far too expensive for me. But looks very nice.
I hope the MW-600 has a short and long headphone. Certainly allows you to get the mic closer to your mouth that way.
Bought myself a Plantronics Pulsar 260 for £30 off eBay for now. Will see what it's like, and report back.
I recommended to you 100% my new handsfree,Sony MDR-EX38iP,this is in ear corded handsfree with micriophone,I buit then yesterday in MediaMark,around 55 euros,are cheaper in Amazon, and I am very satisfaced with them,is designed for Iphone,but works well with HD2,you can pause musik and answer incomings call,but the only is that you can not control the volume or change tracks,but I think that some tweaks maybe can fix this,but the most important is the sound,and is very good,the bass is powerfull and deep and the higher tones are very good to,I could not found any bether than this for this price!!!

Hello !
I am searching for bluetooth headsets for my hTC HD2 !
I have the Motorola S9 HD but i'ld like to change
I am thinking about getting a Jaybird Sportsband 2 (
For the same price, is there something better ?
Thanks
of all the headsets i have had....about 15 in the last 2 years. this is due to the fact that i lose and break them very often because of my job; i would say the one i'm using right now is pretty good, it is the samsung WEP475.
pretty good audio
the other person can hear you very well, even in a 13L 425hp diesel!
and it is very loud, so having it on the low volume setting is a good idea (this is due to our phones i think though)
for me i just need something that works good, and is cheap. spending 100-200 on a bluetooth headset and loosing it 3 days later seems stupid to me.
on a side note the shortest timei have ever had a headset for is 2hrs before i ran it over with 100,000lbs!
try this mate!
months ago I started a thread (after many searches on this site about a good stereo bluetooth headset)
I restricted my choices onto 2 stereo headset and in the end I bought the SE MW600 ...
You can read the posts here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=713693
Mate, I really recommend this bluetooth headset to everyone ... long lasting battery, astonishing audio (like if you are listening music through a good mp3 player), voice commands, info on the led display (sometimes ...not everytime ... also the name of the caller), comfortable buttons-commands, etc ...
Regards
Is Bluetooth not universal?
Thanks for answering
What can you guys tell me about the Sennheiser HD 448 ?
Should I buy it ?
I use the Avantalk jogger. It is really light, has a very long running time and is not too expensive. Only the bass is too quiet!
I use the jabra extreme. Out supports a2dp and has place call function, redial, 2 mics to reduce background noise, good quality stereo sound in one speaker. Best buy has them for 80US.
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App
I have used a Jabra BT8010 for years with my iPhone 3G and then my HTC HD2. Recently, I replaced it with the Samsung HM3500 and it works great, too. You can purchase the HM3500 on Ebay: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=280679860257
I bought mine from this person and it is excellent. It cost $27 and free shipping.
The new model is the HM3700 that T-Mobile is selling for $70. I didn't like the HM3700 because it did not have the big button on the side to answer a call.
The only thing I do not like about the HM3x00 is that it does not fit into my ear and thus sticks out about an inch from my face. I do like the ear bugs for the stero. Hope this helps anyone looking at this posting.
There is only one Bluetooth hands-free and it's called Jawbone:
jawbone.com
Everything else is a compromise.
until today i have never need a headset
