My apologies in advance, for not being too bright, I come from a gene puddle, rather then the grander pool
I have a TytnII or MDA Vario 3 as it's called on the 3 network. I've just bought an sony ericson bluetooth stereo headphones model HBH-DS220. They pair up fine, but I only get quiet mono, in one ear piece. I found a registry tweak, but one of the listed values wasn't there and removing the other (bitpool?), makes no difference at all.
I saw another post talking about a cab being needed, but couldn't decide if that applied to this phone!
Can somebody point me to a link to fix this, thanks.
Please treat this as national sponser an idiot week and do this half-wit a favour!
Thanks in advance

Do you get stereo with your wired headset If so maybe your bluetooth headset is defective?
Surur
Have you tried the Jetware bluetooth extension, worked great on my HBH-DS980 and it added extra features to the headset
when it was paired what profiles did u see? i assume u saw wireless stereo and not just hands free. If you see wireless stereo just make sure its checked and then try the jetware solution
I am using two different models with BT Stereo and did not have a problem with connecting either. Make sure you have the "Wrieless Stereo" service shown and checked under the BT Connection Settings.
Nope, still no good!
Checked the setting and do have wireless stereo checked and have downloaded and installed jetware, rebooted the device and still get mono in one earpiece and it's quiet.
ANy other ideas?
Could somebody send me what is in their AD2P registry settings? I have a nasty feeling that it's somethig T-Mobile have messed up with the new phone!
Thanks for the rapis responces though. It's always nice to stumble on a forum with decent people in, there are so many out there that aren't as friendly...
I have just discoverd the same issue with my Plantronics bluetooth Stero Headset i.e. sound only in one earpiece. This occurs when using "Audible Player" (I don't know what happens with other audio programs). But TomTom Navigator gives me crystal clear Stereo output!! confusing eh?

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.
I've read plenty of threads on here about the bluethooth issue with the tilt/kaiser. I have tried a few bluetooth headsets, but they are not very good at all.. Please give feedback on the models you've used and if is good or not

This thread should be moved to Accessories.
I think the Aliph Jawbone is the best by far. Noise cancellation technology that originated in Department of Defense Advanced Research Projects. I have conversations while I'm driving and the other party has no idea that I'm on a cell phone.
Jawbone has received topnotch ratings in every review I've seen.
I absolutely love the motorola s9!
Jabra bt8010 is very good, but volume is low like others
I also recommend the BT8010 -- but wait until the weekend, as Fry's has had half-price weekend deals on the headset a couple times over the last month or so.
If you have Money and you like Cristal Clear Sound ... buy Sony DR-BT50. Its the only Bluetooth Headset with a Semi Profisional DA Converter. It works with 24bit and you hear the different!!!! 17 hours runtime is the next point.

Concur...This is what I use and it works great!
I have the jabra BT620S stereo bluetooth headset...just got it and paired it up this morning...seems to work great, volume can get decent but not as loud as my wired sennheiser, hopefully i can find a bluetooth hack to boost it somehow
I use the S9 and they work great for me. I have a friend that can't stand them, I think it is pretty hit or miss on how they fit your head. Some people love em but I htink if you have average size head you are fine, too big or too small and they don't fit very comfortable.
The battery life on them is fine, I use em a few hours a day and I plug it in once a week with no problems.
The sounds quality is good and volume is ok but not as loud as wired.
the jawbone, is it stero? the one I glanced at only was bluetooth headpeice not a headset. did I find the wrong one?
Thanks for the input so far guys... But I'm looking for more of call volume and being able to hear nice and loud.. I need this more for work and really am not using it for music... I too heard the Jawbone was suppose to be good but the Tilt is bluetooth2.0 and the jawbone only supports 1.2 or something like that.
for some weeks i use this
http://www.accessoryjack.com/servlet/the-570/i.Tech-Clip-Radio-Bluetooth/Detail
and i am very very happy
excellent quality in music listening
good fm receiver
more than 9 hours battery and bl handsfree in one pack
S9 Is great, just bought a Jawbone...charging now
Love my Jawbone.
I have had very bad luck with the Jawbone. They seem quite delicate. I had one fail and a friend also had his fail. In addition, they are terrible in the wind. The other party cannot hear you at all if there is any wind, so use outside is limited at best. If you will only be using it inside, then the Jawbone is OK.
I recently got a BlueAnt Z9. It also has good noise cancellation technology, seems more robust, gets plenty loud even with tht Tilt and does not have big wind problems. Also, BlueAnt is continuing to refine the firmware and provides free update.

I use Plantronics Discovery 665 and it is great. AudioQuality is absolutely amazing. the best I've had so far. For stereo I use Plantronics 590E witch is also very good, but gives a little to much bass i think. That can be fixed by using PocketPlayer 3.51 witch by the way is the best musicplayer I've ever used on a pocketPC.
Just my two cents anyway
Moby
Yes I'm just using this inside with no wind.. I need one with the volume loud enough.. I just got the Jabra bt 8040 and the volume is so low... I will be returning this.. So the jawbone works...? I heard that the jawbone is only bluetooth 1.2 or somehting like that and the Tilt supports bluetooth 2.0.. I just hate having to try out a bunch of different headsets and returning them for another... I use it quite a bit for work, so need one with LOUD volume
BlueAnt Z9
I have a few headset's that I've tried with the Kaiser (running XDA V1.2 w/volume patches). I know I have more in boxes, but these are the ones I could find.
I purchased a BlueAnt Z9 because it runs BT V2.0 and it fits my ear better than the Nokia BH-900. IMHO the Z9 is clearly the better headset for volume on the Kaiser It's a bit tinny to listen to, but I can get the volume very loud with this headset.
I have tried the following 5 headsets:
Nokia BH-900, Wireless - Bluetooth 2.0 EDR, good volume and no cutouts
JawBone, Wireless - Bluetooth 1.2, low volume and background hiss
Motorola HS850, wireless - Bluetooth 1.2, low volume w/hiss
BlueAnt Z9, Wireless - Bluetooth 2.0, good volume, no cutouts
Sony HBH-300, Wireless - Bluetooth 1.1, low volume
My limited experience with headsets seems to show that BT 2.0 headsets function better with the Kaiser the BT 1.x headsets.
Anyone else find this to be true?
I've been using the Plantronics 665 for months and it's great. A friend has used his for over a year. It has good noise cancellation, good volume, and it is very light weight.
I use a Jawbone on my Wizard and now my Tilt. It actually has better sound on my Tilt now, and people I talk to have asked me if I got a new headset when I switched to the Tilt.
The Jawbone is better than the Plantronics 510 I had and the old Jabra 320 (I think, older version of what is now the Jabra 500) for me with sound quality.
I do a LOT of conference calls, and am on the phone for sometimes hours dealing with system issues. The Jawbone has been great. I have even walked out of my office and gone downstairs to the kitchen before I started hearing cutting out and realized I had left my phone upstairs (so the range is great with the Tilt).
YMMV, but I recommend the Jawbone with the Tilt based on my experience.
Jawbone automatic gain?
When I first hooked up my jawbone to my 8525 the first thing I did was turn on the vaccuum and was amazed that it actually did ratchet up the volume. Shortly after that, it simply stopped adjusting. Now on the 8925, no change.
Happy with the jawbone, but it certainly doesn't do well with direct wind though.
My last headset I loved was my Bluetrek G2, comfortable beyond belief! Did fairly well in the wind as well...
Just received my Sony Ericsson HBH-DS980 Stereo Bluetooth Headset. It's being charged up right now. I'll let everyone know hows the sound quality tonight.
Paid: 99.99 + 5.95 Shipping = 105.94
Edited: Here is what i have experienced with this unit.
Here are the Specs: http://www.sonyericsson.com/cws/products/accessories/overview/hbh-ds980?cc=&lc=
Sound: Great Clarity and rich Bass( Sounds like your in a car thats equipped with Sound System)
Range: Since it is Bluetooth Version 2.0 , it has better range than any other bluetooth headset Version 1.2. ( My previous Stereo Bluetooth by LG HBS-110 was V1.2. While listening to music, it got cut off when i went into another room, and came back on when it was in line of sight.) On the Sony Ericsson, it was cutting off a little bit but not completely off, and can go farther than like the LG)
so far thats with the Music portion. Still have to play around with it more to see whats great about it.
Mind me asking where you ordered your ds980 from?

I think Sony DR-BT Serie is better. Its more a Headset for Bluetooth MP3 Player. They have better DA-Converter inside. I use in the moment ... DR-BT50.

i've been using the Sony DR-BT10CX for the past few months and am very pleased with the sound quality i am receiving. i am having two major problems that i do not know how to fix:
1. every time i go to connect the headset to the phone, i have to go into the bluetooth settings, uncheck the boxes a) wireless stereo and b) headset, then save those changes. then i have to go back into the settings and re-check the boxes and save. - this is a nightmare of an issue, when the headset should simply connect automatically when turned on.
2. making calls is fine, but when a call is received it does not answer through the headset, but through the phone. pointless if you are driving for example...
if anyone knows how i can fix this, i'd love to hear a solution...
MBR-100 Sony/Ericson stereo receiver
I'm using the MBR-100 Sony/Ericson stereo receiver to stream music to me car stereo via 3.5mm input cable and to me earbuds when I am riding on my motorcycle. It connects quickly, sounds good and lasts about a week between charges. I only commute about an hour a day. I got it for $80 at Fry Electronics. I have seen a few of them ob ebay as well.
HT820 + Telus P3050 Touch
I have the Motorola HT820 on a Telus Touch P3050 Vogue and it is very good. I am pleased with my choice.
Sadly I must say stay away from the BlueAnt X5's...horrid sound quality. It seems that the sony's have good sound quality, at least as good as a wired buds that are included. The X5's are much worse. Less spatial seperation, more "muddy" sound, just not good.
Everything I've heard and read about the Jawbone BT headset says that it's a very high quality unit, with excellent noise reduction/cancellation properties. I'll be getting one when I save up some pennies. (10,000 pennies to go!)
i'm using the BlueAnt Z9 with the new 3.4 firmware update and, for me, it's loud and clear with the Vogue. i actually have to turn it down...i have not had any complaints from others when using the headset. when i purchased the Z9 it had the 3.0 firmware and the volume was very acceptable to me. also, the 3.0 firmware allowed you to control the volume with the phone. with the 3.4 firmware, all volume is controlled by the headset.
Jawbone
I have the black jawbone best bluetooth I have used thus far and I have tested quite a few. connects flawlesly and quickly as soon as you turn it on and the noise cancelation that the jawbone is famous for actualy works
I have an old wep150 (samsung) I got it for another phone about a year and a half ago. Its sounds worse on the vogue than it did on my motorola phones. I hope to get a nice stero headset for listening to music and calls. I'm glad to hear the sound quality is good for these devices.
BT
I use the Jabra BT 5020 works awesome on my sprint (cdma) touch. Long life too.. I have always like the jabra products. You can also pair it with multiple devices. it has vibrate.
Timdawg
Just got the SE HBH-DS970 and it works pretty well. the call display only shows the number not the name unfortunetly. And My music tracks don't seem to show up on the screen. Any one else experience this?
I just got the new MOTOPURE H12 the other day and really like it. I got rid of the Jabra BT8010 because I felt like I had to yell into it. This new H12 is pricey at $129.00 but worth it because I am in the car alot. This thing is very small and very light. It comes with a cool desktop charger and carrying case that you can use as a charger also. Here is a link http://direct.motorola.com/hellomoto/h12/
Good question, CCRRAR!
Has anybody got a bluetooth to work with Voice Command??! The closest I've gotten has been with the Blue Ant Z9, I manage a RadioShack, and we just started carrying that unit. It is small, lightweight, comfortable, and very good volume. Better than almost any Motorola bluetooth re: volume. The plantronics are good volume as well, but a bit bulkier. But the Blue Ant actually recognizes Voice Command! The problem, like most, is it doesn't recognize the confirmation.
Very Frustrating!
Anyone found a fix? I've tried some that profess to be the "true fix" but no luck.

Hi all
I have never used an phone has an mp3 player up untill the diamond i really dont know why... now my problem, i have been using the wire headset that comes with the package it works awfull i really hate the cord it keeps messing up all over.. the other problem whenever i want to skip a music i have to turn on the diamond and select the next song, i tought on buying that htc accessory that has controls on it, seems nice, but i believe then the cord becomes huge.. so i tought on a2dp ( never used it actually) so i wonder wich ones work well with the diamond i mean not having to turn on the diamond to go forward on the song list.
thanks for all the good work, the diamond is a great phone but if it wasnt for XDA it would be a great phone with some annoying flaws.
I'm using GGBlue without any problems.
Using Motorola S805, works great!
Sound quality much better than with TD-headset. Full bass, warm sound.
Plantronics Pulsar 590 has been around a couple of years, but still seems to be one of the best stereo BT headsets on the market. Better sound quality, a decent mic for voice and works well with the Diamond. I broke my first set and just ordered another.
The looks aren't too svelte but I prefer the over the head kind than the behind the head because I find them much more comfortable when exercising.
I've been using a Jabra bt320s - supports the profiles you need, fairly decent sound, and nice n small. Lasts a long time on a single charge too.
Nice thing about it is that you can connect any headphones you want, as it has a 3.5mm stereo jack. So you're not limited to wearing a giant headset, and can use them at the gym.
I use the Sony DR BT 10 CX Bluetooth.
Great sound (incredible base), lasts over 8 hours at full blast. And it has no delay, so you can even watch movies in sync with the audio.
if you want it even smaller and be able to choose your own earphones, look at this one: Sony Ericsson HBH-DS220. though it doesn't last as long and has a little delay
i am using both motorola s9 and sonorix obh-0110. both are working fine.
jabra 320s. auto connects brilliantly once paired.
