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?

Munchies, I ordered it from http://mobilecityonline.com They are located in NY
I ordered it on 12/11/07 at night and it got here 12/14/07 in the afternoon. I choose their cheapest shipping, but it got here faster than it was scheduled.
cool, thanks. Let me know how they sound with the touch as I was thinking getting a pair or the blueant z9.
i bougth the DS970.. waiting for it in mail!Z
teh DS970 works great. I got voice control working, Music plays sharp (almost as good as my bose headphones, and i got great range and the earbuds are great.! My only problems is i cant get the LCD display to show caller ID. This is important and i would like it to show the name of the person calling, or at least there phone ##. Is there a program i can download for this? or what do i have to do for this to work. (BTW Voice command works greaT!S

Did you get VC working with confirmations? No one else seems to have accomlished this. If you did , what is the trick?

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.
Hi!
Im using Plantronics Explorer 220 bluetooth headset without A2DP audio... im looking for application which will provide listening to music via bluetooth without A2DP. Many apps which ive found are not working unfortunately what apps are you using ppl?
regards
My god man, how can you listen to music through only one ear! Does it cause you to walk around it circles?
Why not get a real stereo headset? (http://www.amazon.com/Sony-Ericsson-Bluetooth-Headset-HBH-DS970/dp/B000H3Z2K8)
Meantime I believe that Conduits' PocketPlayer will do this for you (http://www.conduits.com/products/player/):
Support for Bluetooth stereo headphones (A2DP), buttons (AVRCP), and mono headsets (Audio Gateway)!

I have Motorola S9 BT and the music pauses ever 15/20 seconds. I used the S9s with a Touch before the Diamond with no problems and worked great but with the Diamond it sucks.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=248774
1working on my Diamond.. xD but the quality is so ****** poor any1 know the registry settings for that?
EDIT:
reg tweaks wont help...
so IF YOU WANNA LISTEN MUSIC BUY HEADSET WITH A2DP
I have been searching for a way to do this and I just cannot find a way to do this. I would liketo make it so that all notifications, sounds, etc goes to the bluetooth headset. I am using a Jabra BT150. Does anyone know if there is a way or if this is even possible? Thanks in advance.
No not yet. Maybe one day.
Has there been a "fix" for this in the past few years?
I would love to stream stereo music into a single bluetooth ear piece.
HTC Incredible
Hello,
I'm running my Inc S on Nik project X ROM. I got nokia BH-505 bluetooth stereo headest which works just fine with my phone. I got this AUDI headphones from a friend which has nice bass and range. Though the audi bluetooth headset pairs with the phone and shows up as connected, it wont play any music or route calls through it. the phone goes into mute whenever i connect it. no sound whatsoever through the bluetooth. tried changing every setting in the bluetooth menu. tried apps from the market like bluetooth mono router, bluetoothfix, etc. nothing seems to work. The headphone works perfect on Nokia X6 though. What could be the problem with my phone ?

I doubt it. The headphone reacts in the same way to HTC Desire S, iPhone 4,4S,my acer laptop, delllaptop ,etc.
It works only with Nokia phones. Will I be able to read the bluetooth log or something like that to know about the problem ?
