Welcome! On this thread, we talk about headsets that work with the iPhone, after the introduction of iPhone OS3.0. I'll start myself with the units I have in hand and how they perform on my iPhone 3G.

For the mono telephony BT headsets, I have tested and own these:-



Pairs and discovered by the iPhone without much fuss, well...since the iPhone 2.0 days. IIANM, Caller ID is not passed to the little LCD screen on the set itself. Size is the second largest in the mono/single-ear headsets in my collection, but plenty comfy. Occasional call drops, but call when connected, is clear. Volume rocker switch is easy to access and press.



Pairs and discovered by the iPhone without much fuss too since the 2.0 days. The smallest of the single-ear headset I have. But because of its size, the circular part that clings to your ear tend to not clutch nicely to ears and tend to pop off. Volume rocker switch is small as well, making it hard to adjust on the fly.



Initially having difficulty pairing with the iPhone. Had to reinitiate pairing a couple of times before the pairing sticks. Audio pickups are below average, and sound received on the other side is poor. Headset is largish, hence tend to droop or weigh down on your ear after a while. Foam covering tend to crumble after long usage, probably because of sweat absorption. Volume rocker is in the form of that circular symbol around the Logitech logo, and stiff/hard to press. AVOID AT ALL COST!



Pairs and discovered by the iPhone without fuss, a welcome change from the crappy Mobile Freedom. Small in design but feels nice on the ear. Build quality is cheapish however. TWO-button control instead of the traditional 3 may confuse user (volume up, volume down, pair/power button now has its own unique combination presses on these two buttons). Great audio reception and sound comes out great as well on the other side. Fits the ear comfortably with that earplug.



Pairs and discovered by the iPhone without fuss. Elegant design. Glows red around the mic mute ring. Comfortable on the ears. Great audio reception and sound comes out nice on the other side as well. A good fit into the ears thanks to its design. Not too heavy and feels just right on the ears. You may want to save this for the PS3 alone, as the headset is more worthwhile using it on the PS3 with its High Quality setting, unavaillable other than on the PS3 itself.

Now let's dive into the STEREO side of the Bluetooth headset/headphones. First up:-



Versatile in the sense that you can use the provided earphones or supply your own. Pairs and discovered by the iPhone with no fuss. The blinking blue light may be a tad annoying. And since the sound quality is dependent on the earphones you use, it varies. As for the quality of the transmission itself, compared with the other two I'm about to list, shrill and tinny. Built like a cheap oversized clip. Buttons hard to push and tiny. AVRCP function on the iPhone works only for Play/Pause/Stop and answering calls.



Lightweight and clips onto your ears. Pairs and discovered by the iPhone with no fuss. Great build quality and looks exceptionally sleek. Comfortable as well, you tend to forget it is there. Price RM269. Audio quality transmission is excellent. AVRCP functions on the iPhone works only for the Play/Pause/Stop and answering calls. Audio/tunes fades out as calls comes in. Sound quality is full and equivalent to Sennheiser PX series. Volume up/down buttons as well as pressing the toggle In to pause/stop may takes getting used to, but using these babies in public and look like an almost normal person (not like a dork!:p) is worth the hassle. Call quality is excellent and sound received on the other side is great as well, receiver did not realise I'm talking on a BT headset at all.



The headphone to get for the uncompromising audiophile out there. Sounds awesome and full body, surprising on a BT headphone. Pairs and discovered by the iPhone with no fuss. Awesome build quality. AVRCP works only for the Play/Pause/Stop and answering calls. Price RM699. Volume up/down buttons as well as the pause/stop button may take getting used to for its size, but for the audio quality it gives, I'll learn it! May be a little too obvious/showy in public when worn because of its size. Call quality is excellent as well, and sound received is great, receiver did not think I was on a BT headphone. LEd blinking on the side may annoy others.

If there is anything else I remember, I'll edit them in later. Please add your experiences with your own Bluetooth headsets/headphones, but for me, for the day of light travel and remaining inconspicuous, the Sony DR-BT140Q is my choice. For the days of not wanting any audio compromises, BT50 is the way to go. For days where I would need to answer calls hands-free, I still use the wired iPhone cable I have, but if I had to choose between the single-ear mono headsets, I'd go for the Aliph Jawbone. But since it is not in my possession right now, I'll pick the Mobile Express. But most if not all the time, I tend to have and use the wired hands-free cable to my iPhone

hi stringfellow.. just want to ask.. i never use a bluetooth headset before.. never!! in my entire life even the phones before i got myself an iphone.. so i want to ask how do u pair it with iphone? since i might want to get one..for driving purpose only..
thx in advance

Hey there!

The general rule is you need to make the headset discoverable by the iPhone so that it could find it. Once that is done, you need to pair the headset to it, so that the iPhone only channels the audio to it.

The instruction to do so will come with the headset. More often than not, to make the headset discoverable, you would press and hold the power/answer call/play button a designated period of time (xx seconds, or until LED blinks if it is fitted with LEDs) to enter Discoverable mode. Once that happens, go to the Settings screen on your iPhone, turn Bluetooth on, and it will scan for all devices that it can discover and initiate the pairing. Some headsets pair automatically, others require a specific pairing key(either you can designate a 4-digit number, or the headset itself has its unique pairing number) to be entered on the iPhone before pairing is complete. Once that is done, you can start using the BT headset. If it is a headset, all calls will diverted to the headset when you press the Answer call button, if it is a Bluetooth Stereo headset/headphone, you can answer the call with the Answer Call button AND listen to audio from your iPhone wirelessly in stereo.

Now some of the new features of a headset is its ability to pair with multiple sources, but it can only allow one source at a time, to channel its audio to the headset.

Guys..

Any of you tried to use the iphone with bluetooth stereo headphones? I cant seem to skip or fast foward to next track. Play, pause and volume button works on the bluetooth headphone control. Any idea?

I tried with HBH DS205 and jabra bt3030

jabra bt8030. headphone which doubles as a speaker. excellent sound quality, especially the bass. problem is, its too bulky. put it on your head and you look like an alien...lol. but definitely worth it for the speakers feature.

[attachmentid=1042456]

Sennheiser MM200, easy to pair with iPhone with os3. People mistaken it as a MP3 due to the big control. Just a few days old, to me the vocal is clear but lack a bit of the bass, still prefer my wired Dr. Dre Monster over this.

How can I forget this little bugger! Probably because it is in the living room, while the rest of the stuff are in my room. Presenting the Sony Rolly, it is an MP3 player, but most importantly, it pipes audio through any Bluetooth source into itself,.........and channel it out through its winged speakers,.....and it DANCES!

Pairs and discovered by the iPhone without fuss. As you can see from the size, a PERFECT companion Bluetooth speakers for the iPhone! Once paired the audio that is playing through it is analyzed by the Rolly and the end result is the motion routine that it does based on the beats of your song. A slow song? A slow dance. A fast country number? Watch it zips and spins and rolls at crazy intensity! You cannot help but to fall in love with this little guy! The two rollers on the sides allows movement in 360 degrees, and the pulsating LEDs changes colors according to the song moods to convey the message of the song. Leave it on the floor and tap its "head" twice and it goes into Motion Mode. Hold it in hands , and it detects that motion and goes into either single or dual speaker mode, depending on whether you hold it horizontally in your hands or vertically. In horizontal mode, just roll the Rolly forward to forward to the next song, and roll it backwards to rewind, roll it clockwise to increase volume, and anticlockwise to decrease volume. In vertical mode, hold the Rolly like an egg, and to twist the top roller anti-clockwise to go to the next song, and twist it clockwise to do it otherwise. To increase volume, twist the bottom roller near to the opened speaker wing, anticlockwise to increase, and clockwise to decrease.

Superb aural separation, loud and never breaking the sound, and voice received for calls are heard from the receiver is clear. It unfortunately does not have a mic, so you cannot place a call via Bluetooth on it, only listen to audio piped in from your iPhone.


That is the fault of the current Bluetooth profile on the iPhone/iPod Touch. It only allows Play, pause and volume button at this moment. To FF/RWD, you will have to tap those on the iPhone screen itself. The AVRCP profile does not allow those function to work on your BT headphones.

EDIT: Hey , nice to see you big boss Crxr! Long time no see!

just like da one i used to use...

Sony HBH DS970



nice n sleek..battery wun gv up tat easy..
but its kinda old now...planning to get a new one...maybe the Sony DR-BT140Q shud be fine..

Uh.. since we're on the subject of BT. How 'bad' is it for battery conversion? As it is, with 3G + Push + Wifi on, I'm having MAJOR issues with batt!

Just wanna study this to see if I really need a BT *grins* It'll definitely come in handy when I am out at roadshows for work but otherwise I guess I could just do away with missing a few calls ! *grins*

Battery endurance is severely reduced on using BT stero headphones since you'll probably be using that to listen to your songs. In mono- or single ear headsets to take up calls, unless you talk for a very long time, the impact on battery endurance is minimal. BT is left on standby/sleep when not answering calls and only taxes the battery when you press the "Answer call" button.

I've tested BT on stereo, and could never get through the day before the battery dies down on me. Things are a little bit better with my Mophie Juice Pack but still critical. Don't expect to go through the day with 3G or push notification on.

@stringfellow,
hMmm.. in that case, perhaps I should consider looking into getting a BT headset Act, I've got this v old Nokia (dun have the model number on me) but I can't seem to pair to my iPhone; heck! I couldn't even pair it to my old Nokia phone!

agreed...
i leave my 3g off since im in wifi covered zone mostly..
when on da move, then i'll switch 2 3g...
with BT on, 3g off, wifi on, da battery is at acceptable levels...

@string,
my bad...left tat part out...

@harmeet15,
Eh. he oredi said RM269. Scroll up to read again

@Tink

Keyword: Old

@Harmeet

RM269. No thanks to you got reminding me about the stereo BT earphones you mentioned when we meet that day. You poisoned me! Lucky it was free, I used leftover points in my Sony Membership card for that from my Z purchase.

@stringfellow,
Since U haf so many BT's, mind passing me one to use a trial unit? *grins* Ok... so it's "old" hence it doesn't work huh?! Damn!

Can. Which one you want? I don't really use the single-ear headsets.

I am using Sony DRC-BT15 with my iPhone.
the set does come with a earphone but i changed the earphone to my favourite earphone, Westone ES3X.
Only use this set to listen to my music.
Cant really use it outside as the ES3X cuts out 26dB of ambient sound, not very safe to use outside.

My ES3X :


Sony DRC-BT15 :


Very nice combo!

that is a mean little device i tell u...
classy n yet sounds good...
style meets substance...

u been poisoning us too long...now its payback:P

@stringfellow,
I don't care which one; as long as the sound quality is good and it fits into the ears well? Maybe the Logitech Mobile Express or the Sony Ericsson HBH-660

guys.. i want to buy one.. prefer the ps3 BT.. i check in sony.com.my but nowhere to be found.. where can i buy it n how much the price?
any other BT highly recomended for me?.. only use it for driving

hi , all gurus ,
i been trying to paired the 3gs with my se bluetooth headset , however, the pairing process required me to enter a passcode , is there anyway to disable entering passcode and just paired it directly ?
cause i have no clue have to do pairing from entering pass acess code as my bluetooth headset doesnt have any 'keypad' or button to do so ,
pls pls pls show me the light ~

Akechi84,

None of BT have any keypad too!!!
Simply enter 0000 or 8888 in your 3Gs and it should be paired successfully.

Myself is using Jawbone Prime and I would say it's the best ever BT headset I owned
Had tried on my brother iTech Clip mini, although it paired successfully, but my friends complaint that they always hear voice "cutting" [ Hello may I ....... to Ah Beng, ....... hey Ah ........ how are ....... ]

bro...
can i know hwere did u get the jawbone prime?
looks nice!

u all can Try Sonyericsson DST-980 A2DP headset+ Handfree . Fully Support Audio (Play/Pause) button , Except << , >> track button . Track Id n caller ID not supported anyway.

If you all need premium audio quality Try Sony Ericsson HBH-IS800 A2DP

I got it from US, someone bring it back for me.Mine is candy colour "Drop me a lime".

Have use it for almost a month, very happy with its performance. My brother can't notice at all when I flushed the toilet bowl while talking to him over phone........

..say are there any recommended BT Headphones out there in the market? So far I've been scouring Machines and Mac City and all I can find are BT Headsets (for making calls). I heard that there aren't many Headphones (to listen to music w/o the hassle of wires dangling), but I didn't think it was so hard to find a good pair out there unless I try going on eBay..

This post has been edited by sysh: Aug 17 2009, 02:08 PM

can the jawbone be paired with 2 iphones?

I am using Sony DR-BT140Q, works great in listening to music and phone calls. Just the forward and backward button are not supported.

With Jawbone Prime, u can paired with 8 devices (if I not mistaken....)
However, only 2 active devices can be used at the same time, which I'm using it for my daily work....love it

This post has been edited by stephenCSW: Aug 18 2009, 09:39 AM

im using the jawbone, without the prime i think, looks identical, excpet the earbud different

so u are pairing it with 2 as well? cos i need to pair with 2 as well

Hi,

I can confirm that my iTech Clip mini has the same issues like yours on the 3GS, person on the other side sometimes couldn't hear my voice its like not clear and always disrupted , heck i tot my bluetooth headset having problems but i guess have to change it then. Anyone can recommend me a cheap bluetooth headset sub RM150??

Anybody has comments on the Jabra BT3030 (dog-tag style) BT headset? In terms of audio quality and for phone calls? Forward / Previous button function usable on the iPhone?

Any ideas when the Jabra Halo will be out?

Yes....i pairing with 2 phones day in and day out, but it's drain out my iPhone battery fast....

Jawbone Prime and Jawbone 2 (i think u own this!) looks the same from its outlook.
Other than new earbud, pairing 2 phones at the same time only works on Prime.
Plus, Prime has fail-safe feature if the VAS doesn't touching your face.

I thought it's out already. Here - http://www.cresdo.com/cellphones/accessories/jabra/.

I hope my friend manage to buy one for me from HK.

thanks. Was looking thru their website and they said 'coming soon' so I assumed it hasn't arrived. But RM400+ is way too steep. The dog-collar BT3030 does look good though and reasonably priced. Might consider that. Just waiting for feedback from the floor if anybody has used it before

Are there any Bluetooth sets out there that supports Voice Control? As in, push button on the headset and it brings up Voice control?

Yeah, that would be really nice if there is any bluetooth headset than can support 3GS Voice Control. If there is one im sure it will sell.

As for the itech clip 2 mini, went to MCM and complain about it, they upgraded my firmware and so far so good. No more voice disruption on my headset. For those having problems with their clip 2 mini can go and pay MCM a visit.

cheeers!

How muich does this cost you?
So << >>, Track ID and Caller ID not supported?

Any other brands have support for Track ID and / or Caller ID?
I know for the fact for now all BT headsets can't support << >>

Anyone using Motorola S605 with iPhone? Is it good for handsfree calling? I looking at the advantage of using your own quality earphone for music. Not sure games sound can be output to thru bluetooth.

I think u can get it at lowyat around RM190-RM250 depend on he shop...for support TrackID and Caller ID...think at the moment.. i still looking for it.

DST-980 cost RM190 - RM 250? so cheap? Over in GS it's selling for RM300+. The previous model DST-970 does cost RM200 though.

i also consider as Supplier hehe dealer cost for SE DST-970 is around RM155-170 now. ( attn supplier : don't screw me )

Hey guys,

Thinking of getting the iphone. Was reading that it has limitations with bluetooth. Can I pair it to my jabra headset and also to my car bluetooth (my headunit supports bluetooth audio), currently they both work fine with my 5800 xm, but now kinda getting itchy to get the iphone. Do share.

edit: ok I guess my bluetooth headset will work fine, but will it pair with my car? All info will be appreciated.

Is this Jabra bluetooth good? Anyone tried it before?


Attached thumbnail(s)

hi guys, i have a nokia bh209 bluetooth headset given by a friend.

was unable to pair it with my 2G iphone, so i updated the firmware to 3.0.1, and its now jailbroken and ready to use.

however, my iphone still cannot detect the bluetooth headset. any solutions to this? thank you.

Which is the best stereo bluetooth for the iPhone now?
With caller ID show?

Hey where can i get the Sony DR-BT140Q?
No luck at GS..

i wonder, does Playstation Bluetooth Headset have any problem pairing with iPhone 2G..? (i read stringfellow mentioned that there's no problem with iPhone 3G)

has any user tested it before?

Hi there... I just bought out the Jabra BT3030 today and this is my review on iphone 3GS:

Price = Around RM 200

Appearance : 8.5/10
The LED emits blue, green and purple colour.. Which is stylish and great
I think the Jabra BT3030 “Dog Tag” design was very cool but if you consider that wearing the metal lanyard (below) around your neck to be less than appealing you can nonetheless easily remove it and instead attach the included Clothing Clip to the back of the unit and fit it to your shirt or pants.

Audio Quality :
Jabra Headset in packaging - 6/10
Audio quality is satisfactory, but it lacks the bass even though with bass booster on

BOSE on Ear - 9/10
WOW, I am deeply satisfied with the quality when paired with my on Ear BOSE .. I would say the quality is unchanged, only a slight delay when u are adjusting the volume or play/pause


Radius : About 10 meters

Pairing on Device : Not that difficult and it is quick too..

Battery Indicator: 6/10
It does not have any real time indicator like the ones in regular mp3 player. The battery power is indicated by the blinking colour of Jabra (Green = Strong, Red = Weak).. When it is weak, it transmits persistenly annoying beep to your earphone

Battery consumption :
On BT 3030 - It says the battery span is 8 hours, not sure though
On iPhone - Still Experimenting, maybe it is quite strong

Extra :
You can use the Voice command with BT3030 as well, but still have to push the home button then say ur command upon the BT3030.. It cannot be activated by BT3030 somehow..
You can also watch movie using the BT3030, but can only pause/play and adjust the volume...
If you dun know how to remove the lanyard chain, just give the chain a firm pull apart until it opens...

CONS :
Non-functioning Forward/Previous button.. If only it could change track.... But nevermind, I think the bluetooth works fine

P/s : Does anyone know which bluetooth is having the functioning Forward/Previous button that can be used with iphone?

Just to update u guys, itech clip II mini got problems with the iphone 3GS. Earpiece works fine but then the mic doesn't work very well, sound is like muffled , the other party couldn't hear your voice unless u put the mic directly near your mouth.

Went and update the firmware at MCM service centre still same. Tested the clip II mini on other phone and it works fine, no issues with the mic.

I guess users with clip II will have to use alternative head sets.

cheers.

Was just wondering whether its really drains alot of battery from iPhone if I were to pair it with a single-ear piece bluetooth headset just to use it when I'm driving.

Thinking of getting one.

At the moment, Nokia BH 503 does not work with iphone 3.01



Correction : It works for 3.1, only 3.01 not working

Hi guys,

I'm currently using iPhone 3Gs paired with my Sony Ericsson HBH-IV835. I am able to pair the headset with phone and able to use it BUT it randomly disconnects itself from the phone. And when I try to reconnect the headset with phone, it will show connected but headset would not have any sound even during calls. Buttons still work when i press it and Voice control would be activated but could not talk through the headset. Very funny situation as I was using it fine with my iPhone 3G. I've also tested the headset with other phone and its working fine.

Tried upgrading firmware of 3Gs to 3.1.2 now but problem still persist. Anyone having the same issues with 3Gs ?

anyone know how to solve my problem???

my problem is when i turn on bluetooth and it will searching for a long time... i never success connect using bluetooth. please help me,,,

OMG bro..Sell me ure Sony Rolly..plsss

Unfortunately, the IS800 doesn't work very well, because it doesn't have volume control on it. The iPhone's volume control does not work when bluetooth stereo devices are being used...

So, it works, but you can't adjust the volume. The sound on the IS800 comes out too loud for me.

HTH
--will

Have anyone use a stereo bluetooth headset with iphone b4..?

I think i wanna get the Sony Ericsson DS 980 stereo bluetooth headset support A2DP but some ppl say the play, next n previous button not working with iphone..

Can anyone clarify this..?

Thanks.

i just bought the jabra bt3030 stereo bluetooth headset..my conclusion is:

pros: price, acceptable sound quality, stylish.. imo its the best looking bluetooth headset in the market,

cons: cannot skip tracks, music volume very loud even at lowest level, slight delay i.e. watching movie may not be a good idea cos sound is out of sync

conclusion: more cons that pros....regretted buying this cos i use it to primarily watch movie


has anyone bought a bluetooth stereo that really works on iphone? please recommend.

wah.. im nearly wanna buy the bt3030.. thx for the pros n cons tho.. i will reconsider it.. heee..

haiya... didn't do much research before buying it..... bought it based on looks only. bought it from the hub at lowyat plaza and the sale assistant did not allowed me to test before buying.

Aiyo. Cannot test 1st..? The seller also dont want u to know the pros n cons of it.

All he know is as long as item sold he happy lo. What to do cannot refund somemore.

Thats what we called "buy 1st, regret later" >_<''

Anyone using a good BT that sync sound almost perfectly..? I prefer with caller id one. Hehe. Im thinking of ds 980 but wait for review from user 1st. Hehe. Dont wanna regret later

Hi all, apart from the Sony DR-BT140Q, I was at Sony Style KLCC and there's another model (I forgot the model no) but it's like an In-ear bluetooth headset, retailing at RM229. Do any of you guys have any idea if it works with the iPhone?

heii man I'm using SE IS 800.... sound mmg baik punyer my rating 9/10... but sadly got problem adjusting the sound.. any solution on tis.... plss helppppppp....thx

@siamsix,
I guess there's no solution as reported by wlum above.

You have to wait for Iphone new OS firmware update if they ever bothered to fix this bug.

It also happens on HBH DS 200 which doesnt have volume control.

Btw is not your IS 800 at fault, is the iphone need to resolve this bug.

Has anyone tried Jabra Stone with their iPhone ?

can i know where to get Bl@st bluetooth headset? seems nice to me smile.gif

Hi guys, I'm interested to get Sony DRBT21G/B Stereo Bluetooth Headset .

I did browse around and I found this Sony DR-BT21IK/B (Stereo Bluetooth Headset + Wireless Transmitter for iPhone/iPod.

I have tried the bluetooth headset (owned by a friend) without the wireless transmitter on my iphone3g and it works, both calls + listening to music. So does the wireless transmitter is really necessary?

Or anyone here has the same bluetooth headset? Kindly give your comment. thanks

My iphone 3gs pairs well with the Clarion in Proton Exora.

Hi... I'm using Nokia BH-104 with my iPhone 3G S. The Nokia paired easily with the iPhone. But the problem is ... a lot of my friends have been complaining that my voice sounded loud and soft, loud and soft whenever I use the Nokia BH-104 with the iPhone.

Initially I thought it was the bluetooth headset that was the problem. Then I paired the Nokia BH-104 with a Nokia phone.... called the same friends... they said it sounded clear. Paired the Nokia BH-104 back with the iPhone 3G S, and then called the same friends... they said the loud and soft problem came back again.

How can I solve this problem? If need to buy a new bluetooth headset, which brand and model is suitable for iPhone 3G S?

thanks.

i'm using i-tech clip VR 302 with 3GS also got problem. Fren always complain can't hear my voice clearly and ask me to throw away my new phone.

i've been using i-tech clip type bluetooth headset for 2 years. previously with SE, samsung and nokia phone all no problem.
now use iphone got problem.

any recommendation of other brand? i prefer clip type coz i'm used to it...

This issue bothered me last time when I owned my iPhone 3G. I had tried few brands of bluetooth handsfree (Motorola, Plantronics, Jawbone) but still could not solve the problem until I gave up. Heard many unconfirmed cases where iPhone 3GS pairs better than the major bluetooth handsfree. Could anyone advice?

Due to this drawback, I had sold my iPhone 3G and replaced it with SE phone now. However, with honesty, I am still a big fan of iPhone. If the 3GS really improves, I might consider join back the iPhone family.

i've tried i-tech vr302, SE VH300 and nokia BH215 with my iPhone 3GS. All got problem.
The worst is i-tech, the voice like 'putus-putus'. SE and nokia the voice high and low.
All try with nokia 5800, all ok.
So i think the problem is from the iphone itself.

i just purchased this HBH-IS800 by sony ericsson...
must say, very impressed by its performance...
elegant, yet doesnt let u down...

gentlemen, have anyone of you using a bluetooth handsfree with iphone?
if you guys do, what kind are you using?
share with me.

may i know where can i get one? please..
gimme link or something. try to search but still didnt find any.

thanks

i am using this, and its pretty good...



LINK

i see. thanks for sharing.
but i prefer the mono-single wireless bluetooth headset.
just to use for driving. any suggestion. and how much is the price?

jabra is ok...

or try aliph jawbone II.... with an expensive price tag lol...

Is anyone know where to get a jawbone bluetooth headset in Malaysia ?

Hi Guys,

I'm using iphone 2G now and I just found out iphone 2G also supports A2DP. It can be enabled with the A2DP Enabler Application.
Installed only iphone 2G and tested with my friend's Jabra bluetooth stereo headset and it works!!

So now, I'm thinking of getting a stereo bluetooth headset myself. I'm currently using Plantronics Explorer 230, a mono bluetooth headset primarily for driving. It's good but planning to pass on to my gf since she's requesting for one.

Questions:
1. I'm getting it primarily for video watching and music listening while i'm travelling in a bus back and forth Singapore. Is it worth getting a bluetooth stereo headset or should i stick to my audio technica wired earphones with mic? The wires of the audio technica is really long and feels troublesome when want to keep and take out. But I also plan to use a BT headset it while driving as I will be giving my gf my Plantronics.

2. where is the best place to look for stereo bluetooth headset in PJ/KL?

3. I don't like those big BT stereo headsets. Prefer the earphone type (easy to keep in pocket) and prefer without a dangling receiver on my neck/chest area. What are my options?
So far I'm aware of
- Altec Lansing/Plantronics BackBeat 903 (expensive, rm300+)
- Plantronics Voyager 855 (expensive, about rm469)
- SE HBH-IS800 (not sure price. think no volume control)
- Sony DR-BT140Q (not sure if it's bulky, but looks ok)

Any other recommendations? Budget wise, probably rm300+ is fine with me.

Thanks for all the responses in advance.

how much you bought for and from where? it doesn't have volume control right? so how do you control the volume?

theres a Controller

I had a iTech Clip II Mini for my N73. Now using for my iPhone. Works but only as hands-free ie for calls only! Kenot listen to iPod output...

How long is your practical usage like for this stereo headset?
How is the microphone like, the sound quality and sort.

When the headset is running out of battery how does it indicate to you for this headset? will it be like staggering sound and keep breaking up phone and or music sound?

I am kinda interested in buying this the wired iphone headset is giving a lot of problems while i am driving.

How often do you charge in a day?

Can you practically use it 4 hours continuously? besides what they claim on the website.

just bought a Jabra Halo for my iPhone recently to listen to songs and answer calls, and I must say that the sound / call quality are superb.
Battery life is also long, I'm able to use it for 2 days straight(listening to songs for about 1-2 hours/ talking on the phone for less than 1 hour a day) and it only takes a mere 2 hours for a full recharge.
The only problem I have now is the iPhone's battery life. It's draining like crazy, does anyone have any recommendations for reliable iPhone battery packs?

can use for computer? how much for sony 1??

sure can use for computer. i tested on my laptop before that has bluetooth.
sony one, depends which model la bro. so many available, cheap one from less than 200 or expensive one like IS800 is around 400

I have an iTech Clip 2. There's no problem pairing with my iPhone 3GS BUT on several occasion while trying to answer, my phone hanged. Anybody experienced this before. I am on OS4.

I prefer a BT Headset that able to receive call and listen to music. Cheap but reliable. I happen to stumble with the BH-503 Nokia Bluetooth headset. Is not really that bad with the price, and can make last call and receive call too.

To control track using BT Headset on iPhone, I downloaded the Bluetooth Helper application.

Hope some info here help XD

we both had the same headset and used it on the same device before =.=.. i can say it serve me right for almost 3 years d.. no major problem but no audio output.

i'm looking for headset which can listen to audio too.. saw some reviews that jabra performs quite well..

hi all,

i can't able to sync the bluetooth on iPhone4 with the stereo system for Myvi Se bluetooth. it work with HTC and SE but not able to detect perodua , on add devices. any tips? use to using the bluetooth on myvi se as a great handsfree tool and also able to play mp3.

pls advice, thanks for reading!

Really heartbroken.

This post was supposed to be one serenading the Jabra CLIPPER. I was supposed to expound the superb sound quality both in and out of the device and more-than-decent battery.

Instead, all signs point to a completely dead battery just 48 hours since I opened the box.

Urm guys... when using bluetooth earpiece, does sounds like iPod music playing or Skype calls get transfered over too?

coz the one i'm using only transfer the sound for normal calls...
others like iPod or Skype calls cant be used

from what ive heard. skype doesnt get the sound relayed. but everything else does. even games. im not really sure about skypel, ive never really tried it personally but for me, all of the sounds from the phone goes to my bluetooth headset.

no luck.. mine i3GS wif Perodua Alza.... could not detect.. i think perodua = no bluetooth for iphone.

my myvi is able to detect bluetooth for 3gs last time but only for phone calls not mp3 streaming.....
