Stereo bluetooth headset

Which stereo bluetooth headset works with the HD2?
The SonyEricsson HBH-IS800 is really nice, but you cannot control the volume of this headset.

Nokia BH 500

I noticed that! You can't control the volume of any bluetooth A2DP devices. SO STUPID!! There must be a fix for this?

Sony DR-BT21G works as well with my Leo as it does with my Walkman. Volume control and track controls both work. Not too sure that it works with phone calls though, as I haven't yet tried it.

Just bought a Jabra BT3030 which was poor - volume was very low and sound quality was not great. The alternative was the Sony DR-BT21G - whats the volume and music quality like?

im using motorola s9 with wow driver on my leo .all buttons are working and sound is quite good.

Using the Sennheisser MM100 and they work very well.
Cheers

I got a sony DR-BT20NX works very well for movie and music, works well for hadns free too on all phones ive had in the last 2 years and with my PC and PS3, Only problem is the mic is halfway down your chest so not too good when outside.

I've this headset and I can't control the volume even by the phone...

I just ordered some Jaybird JB-200s so I`m hoping this will work with the phone... this phone already cost me a few extra euros just on accesories already and I don`t want a pair of useless earphones... I love JB though...

Hi,
I have this headset also and i'm satisfied with the quality of the sound. The volume is just right for me out of the box. So i didn't notice until now you can't change the volume from the phone.
I added two keys to blue-tooth registry, but i don't think it added to the sound-quality. Maybe there is a key for that volume. Still looking for a tool to do that. What it does do is randomly give me no audio during playback for 3 or 4 seconds :-( (Witch is really annoying). I get compliments from people when i''m on the phone about the audio quality. Even when riding my bike in windy conditions. So thats a good thing. I think the cord could do with another 5 centimeter. I think they forget about the difference in neck size of western people when they developed the thing Japan ;-).
Battery life is better than my old one.
Before this i had the HBH-DS980 on the TYTNII, but the cord broke. This one can display the phonebook and change volume and skip to the next song etc., but i think the size of the HBH-IS800 and sound quality makes up for that.
I'd like to hear from other owners of this device if they experience the same audio interruption problem.
Rgrds, Helssblade.

iam using Sony HBHDS980
Everything works fine including,
1. Music player in manila music tab play,pause,next, prev & volume.
2. Contacts display 7 browsing
3. Call history browsing.
4. In call volume adjustment.
Only problem is,
Need to increase the incall volume after every reconnection.

Nokia BH 503 works great with the LEO. Even coreplayer works with the pause play and next buttons.

Hi,
I'm listening music with the HBH-DS970 Bluetooth headphones.
I noticed, that the soundquality is quite poor, especially the high notes.
Are there any tweaky to improve the soundquality through bluetooth?
Thanks

Philips Taster SHB7110 works perfect!
Hello everybody!
I purchased this headset and works perfectly with my HTC HD2 (I'm installed previously the SRS WOWHD v1.5.1.0). Clear sound (for me) and very comfortable!

I have the same headset and the souns is like am radio,,I think at the problem is in the bluetooth configuration,this phone is coming whit bluetooth 2.1 and maybe this is one of the problems,the another one is att you cant no change the audio parameters in bluetoth like I do in my xperia,so spensive and so meny problems
HBH-IS800

DR-BT160AS...
...is working fine for me.
Everything like Volume, Skipping, Searching, Pause/Play and talking via the headsetfunction ist fine.
Voice is clear at the other end of the "wire"
Really light and works for about 6 hrs. on normal volume (hearing until jogging)

Just got my set of Jaybird JB200...
I had to edit this post and write my updated impressions about the set... The next/prev buttons now work like a charm, even with the main Sense player, which I still prefer over players like PocketPlayer or Core Player... The peering is still kinda sketchy... The phone doesn`t ask for the key of the set and sometimes it does not register Stereo sound from the first try... It seems the way to make it register stereo is having a stereo feed live... like a song playing... The sound itself is very good, I`m satisfied with the quality and the look of the earphones...
If anyone knows a solution for the peering problems please give me a tip...

Ultimate Ears Super.Fi 5vi compatible with HD2?

I was searching for a headset covering the needs for good sound, in ear technique (and I mean REAL in ear unlike the stuff that comes with the HD2) and the possibility to use some kind of remote control.
I found the Ultimate Ears Super.fi 5vi, but am unsure to which amount they are working with my HD2...
Anyone got them?
If so: To which amount are they compatible?

IMHO, any 35mm headset + any phone with 35mm jack = any guy + any girl
Explanation:
the parts should fit together to produce something else.
How compatible the 2 are, totally depends on you: there ARE many people who can't hear the difference between a $10 headset vs a $300 headset...
Perhaps you can share what you mean by not be compatible?

Thx for the answer, but I didn't mean if I'll hear anything at all! ^^
(both have 4 conductors, so at least they should produce sound)
I wanted to know if the remote control will work for at least answering calls and hanging up without producing anything glitchy like powering the whole thing down or calling someone else.
As far as I've heard AUX and GND Conductors are changed in the Iphone plugs, so I don't know if anything strange will happen when using a headset made for the stupid Iphone with another smartphone.

yes it will be compatible.
altho i only got the metro fi 200vi. pretty damn sure the others will work.
great mic with button functions and superb audio quality. probably the best i've heard in many yrs.
one press to ans/end calls, or one press to play/pause music. double quick presses strange tho, dials last dialled number. but overall pretty damn nice IEMs for only S$95

Thx a lot!
I guess they didn't change the remote control from one vi model to another... at least I hope so!
The Double press thing is a pity, but not fatal... It's just a different function. ^^

since a few days I have the Bose Headset. The only remote is a button to pickup calls but the sound is really fantastic.

which model number of Bose Headset?

I've got the Super.fi 5vi, they work to answer calls, hang up and will even call the last called number. I've never tried to control manila's audio player with them, so not sure if that works.

[Q] Does the V-Moda Remix Series work with the Steak?

Hi, I've had v-moda headphones before and they are without a doubt my favorite. I'm wondering if this series works with the Dell Streak. By work I mean the buttons and the mic. If it does work with the Dell Steak this would best headphones you can get for it from my experience. So if anyone knows please let me know. Thanks!
Here is a link to the specific headphones I'm asking about. http://www.v-moda.com/headphones/remix.aspx

Volume buttons will not work. Action button will work for call answering. Headphones and mic will work.

Sweet, thats the only parts I really cared about. Great news, thanks!
Sent from my Dell Streak using XDA App

Well I bought the headphones. The volume keys don't work like you said, but the Mic does not work either. The mic was the main thing I wanted to work. Which doesn't make sense why it wouldn't because the threads are the exact same as on the stock Streak headphones that it came with. Would any other headphones (with a mic) work with the Streak? I really need a high quality headphones that work with this. I will probably be taking these back; even though I'll miss the superb sound.

If you guys have any new updates please let me know, however I don't believe I'll get the info I need in this thread so I'm going to create a new one that has a more broad title.

I had issues with third party headphones. Try rotating the plug and see if it works with different orientation. I'm not sure if this is a manufacturing issue or what though.

I tried rotating to all orientations with these headphones and the mic never seemed to work. I think this has something to do with the driver for three button headphones. I developed a review on a few here

iPhone/iPod headphone controls function w/Focus

I'm not sure if this is old news or not, but I'm using a pair of Sony headphones with controls for iOS devices, and they have partial functionality with the Samsung Focus.
Only the center button works
Same as iPhone controls: single click for play/pause, double click to skip ahead, triple click to go back a song.
Volume buttons do not work.
Edit: The microphone doesn't work either, yet it cuts off the handset microphone. So if you place a call, there's no sound at all unless you unplug the headphones. You can hang up the call by pressing the button on the headphones though.
So... they're pretty much only good for controlling music.
It sucks that they only have partial functionality, I wish I knew of a way to make them work.

I've heard rumors that you can get all of those features working in PlayerPro. They have a free five-day trial on the market; try it out, it has a headset section in the settings for hardware buttons. I'd love to know if you can get all of that functionality working through PlayerPro, as I'd have no problem dropping $100 on a nice set of ear buds w/ the iPod controls, but not without knowing all the music functionality works.

I don't believe the Focus has different requirements then other WPs.

Replacement Headphones for Samsung Focus

I recently destroyed my OM headphones that came with the phone and had the arduous task of finding a compatible headset that offered quality and functionality.
I found out that these do not work
iBeats Dr Dre edition- mic does not work and volume buttons do not work (100)
Skull Candy- Mic does not work but the play and pause buttons do(60)
and finally the one that did work
V-moda vibe duo- full functionality but only comes with an answer button which does play an pause. (100)
feel free to add your experience with purchased headsets
Sound quality was the best on V-moda, then iBeats, then skull candy

Skull candy is a company and not a specific headphones... they have many models. As for the skull candy full metal jackets, the mic does work. I cannot compare them to the others mentioned, but the sound is very good.

My Marshall Minors work on the focus. Not the cheapest but they are pretty cool looking and sound great.

this might be a little late but I need some new headphones for use at work and do not want to spend a lot. I searched "ehs60annbe" on amazon and found plenty of merchants selling what appear to be the exact headphones that come with the phone.
These ones are $6.83 +free shipping
http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-EHS60...EEZO/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1299825988&sr=8-1

I lost my pair that came with the phone, so I was excited to see these.
I ordered a pair and they should arrive tomorrow.
If they are indeed the same as those that came with the phone, I might order me a couple more - I really liked them, and they worked perfectly with the phone (control wise).
Thanks for the post.

Unfortunately I'm having problems with these headphones - for some reason, the controls will only increase the volume - you can't decrease the volume.
Perhaps I received a "bad" pair? Anyone else tried these?

The Focus has a VERY clean audio output. I've fed it into my home stereo and was impressed with the detail and clairity. I listened with Etymotic 6i headphones and was blown away. After that, the included headset sounds muddy with a artificial bass boost.
For those who can afford to splurge on a headset, consider the Etymotic mc3

Any recommendations for matching the original pair that came with the Focus?
My priorities:
-Must be able to trigger voice control
-Must have working microphone
-Must be able to answer/hangup calls
-Must have volume up and down
-Must not be expensive
-Should be gel like for in-ear
I've tried iPhone ones, they don't do volume/up down.
I've tried tried the common silver Samsung one with one button - the button doesn't pick up or hangup calls.
Help!

This ones looks identical to the oem ones and they are pretty cheap!:

Headphones that WILL be fully compatible with wp7, and sound pretty decent as well.
Though it will probably be a few more months until they are released.

Anyone had any luck finding headphones with working volume and answer call buttons? Preferably ones with a more sturdy cover over the connector since my cable broke because of too much twisting and bending.

jkimrey, Did you find a solution? I have the same problem. I read somewhere that it's because Samsung is using a newer standard that allows for TV Out or something. But this is really annoying.

same here i cant find any that the buttons fully work on, that i'm willing to buy. I got some on amazon that only volume up works. my wifes blackberry ones that came with her torch work but i cant find them anywhere. The cat ate my original ones

I can say that these are the ones i got from amazon same thing with the button... It doesnt even look the same as the OEM ones.

Has anyone tried the Zagg Smartbuds? they appear to have all the controls that one could want [play/pause, skip FW/BK, Volume, answer/hangup(I assume would work with voice activation as well)] but they are a bit pricey.

Am I the only one who would like a non-in ear headphone that works with the Focus?

At this point, I just want something that's compatible! I have had zero luck so far in getting earphones compatible with my Focus. I too found the common Samsung ones. Thankfully, I got two pairs for less than $10. Guess what they work perfectly with? My effing iPod touch. GAH.
I honestly have no idea why this is so hard...

V-Moda =
I have to second the V-Moda headphones. I'm currently using them in conjunction with Monster replacement foam tips (medium) and the sound is amazing (albeit the highs are a little muffled but the bass is punchy and responsive). It is a one button setup which bothered me at first, but with a dedicated volume rocker on the device it's really not so much of an issue that I thought it would be. If the Focus only had an equalizer of some sort to bring out the highs, these headphone would be perfect. The mic quality in the headset is beautiful and these 'phones are as durable as all heck (they've been: stuck in a car door for 50 miles, went through the wash, stepped on, trampled, chewed on by a dog, caught on bushes etc.) and have never even began to show signs of wear. If you can live with pocket adjusting the volume, I would recommend getting these.
I should probably mention that I DO NOT work for V-Moda despite how it sounds... I just happen to be a sort of audiophile and while the Focus itself doesn't have the BEST sound quality (I'm coming from a Cowon S9 lol) these heaphones help to bring out its above average playback capability. Another side note is that in response to the OP, the Modas don't only pause/play/answer call/hang up. While listening to music playback you can double tap the button to skip to the next song or triple tap it to skip back.

The iPhone headphones work decently. They don't fully work (microphone / volume up and down), but pause / play / next song/ previous song does work. Before the mango update, I was only able to get the play to work. It seems Microsoft is slowly making the iPhone headphones compatible with the Focus.

Does anybody have a link to a hardware specification for what these in-line buttons actually do for the WP7 phones?
Pretty much all the headphones with in-line controls and a microphone have 4 conductors which are:
- left-audio
- right-audio
- common/ground
- signalling/mic
Here is the spec for IPod Shuffle remote headsets:
pinouts.ru/PortableDevices/iphone_headphone_pinout.shtml
david.carne.ca/shuffle_hax/shuffle_remote.html
So the three buttons operate as follows:
Button 1 - short to ground through 10K resistor (up)
Button 2 - short to ground (answer/hangup/play/pause)
Button 3 - short to ground through 4.7K resistor (down)
But the ipod remote (no mic) has an onboard microcontroller that receives DC power on the mic line as well and is used as a sort of authentication device allowing the Ipod Shuffle to uniquely identify the remote through a challegage response tone scheme. I'm not sure if this is included in the iphone remote cause the circuitry would probably interfere with the mic signal.
Headphones with only one button always short mic/4th conductor to ground so that will always work, but I bet WP7 and Iphone/ipad specs for the resistors for the up/down buttons are different.
I hope WP7 remotes don't have the microcontroller.
I may disassemble my OEM Samsung headphones and try to figure this out. It would be nice to get some Shure or Sennhesier hi-end headphones and plug them into a little adapter that provided to correct buttons. All the hi-end earbuds are iphone/ipad-only.
Presumably I could just cut off the ear-buds on the samsung headphones and solder some of the Shure connectors on there - then just plug in the Shure ear-buds. (all high-end Shure earbuds have replaceable cords
