I got a iPhone 3G and interested in getting a bluetooth headset. However, when i approach the salesman selling phones, they told me that all their Bluetooth is not compatible to bluetooh. I've search from net that there are some 3rd party bluetooth set that is compatible with iphone such as SE and Motorola but apparently they are not available outside. Anyone using bluetooth with their iPhone which can easily get outside?

click on the link for more info

er.. i think most bt is compatible with th eiphone

Are you sure? Since the sales person told me that the've tried most of their stock on iphone and it's not connecting.

the BT is industrial std, shud be a probelm
im using the jawbone BT

You mean...shouldn't be a problem?!

I have no problem pairing with my bluetooth at all.

@markwht
Perhaps when you tried you didn't pair correctly...just a thought.

oppps, shudnt

That's what the salesman was saying. I haven't had a tried yet. Are you using iphone 3G and what bt headset are you using?

i using itech clip...no problem at all..once paired always paired. no need pair each time u on.

Iphone old firmware version (1.1 or 1.2) have problem to pair with the BT headset.

rx330,
Where did u bought the jawbone BT?

itech klip is the one that is selling very widely. So yours is iPhone 3G as well?

i'll ask them to try it out for me if possible...thanks..

itech clip nano works fine for me

Oh, you didn't try!? Then the salesman does not know what he is talking about.

I am using a Motorola headset. And I think iPhone will pair with any bluetooth headset as they should all be generic.

i am using 3g iphone ^^. in logic, the bluetooth is a profile. iphone have the head set profile so any bluetooth set would be able to connect.

why not try on the spot instead just walk off?

dont ask.. just test it... sometimes the salesperson... (most i meet) kindda think they know it all... until we all came and crush their dreams.... hahahaha!

i bought the jawbone from ebay

jawbone 2....

yea, i bought the jawbone 2... now lying ard dunno where in my house... cant remember wen was the last time i used it

i wanted to get the motorola S9 too, but i dont know if it will work with iphone, for musics i mean, i want to use the s9 to listen songs, but i dont know if it will work, since my iphone dont work with the new myvi SE radio bluetooth, for music listening. =\

a2dp is it wat its call? iphone doesnt support that

how about the apple bluetooth headphone?any idea where to get other than online?

i think only online

no a2dp? ok that sarks

the apple bluetooth headset is very nice n small. but i am not often talking on the phone so not very practical just to get it...some more must get online

a little bit too small, and some bad reviews, hence i chosse the jawbone over hte apple BT

I use Jabra BT2010 , no problems at all pairing.

jawbone 2 is really nice.... ngee......

so rx330, are u going to sell ur jawbone? since it is collecting dust...

can sell for how much?

@rx330

i am interested too on the Jawbone, is the first or second version?

the 2nd one

wow.....
thinking to sell it off?
y not using it?

i bought it during september or october, then during tat time it seems to makan up a lot of my battery (tat time got some battery issues)
hence i din pakai liao lor

now battery issue ok aredi, but forgot to charge the jawbone

oh...that's true..after the firmware update then is fixed liao...

bro, no la
after the fw then i got issues, cos i normally charge by wall plug
then i switch back to usb, then ok liao
tonight must make an attempt to charge the jawbone

A2DP is a profile settings for Bluetooth, you can buy stereo headset that has Bluetooth capability and pair it with your phone. Then you can enjoy great sound quality (depends what brand you're buying) wirelessly. Just like normal Bluetooth headset, this is just for music listening.

i just bought a Plantronics Explorer 230 bluetooth headset over the weekend for my iphone in vivo city, singapore for S$68. Good piece with clear sound quality. tested a 4 feet away from phone still no problem. Recommended

the shop i went also is selling Plantronics Voyager 520 (http://store.apple.com/us/product/TQ109LL/A?fnode=MTY1NDA1MA&mco=MjQzMzM2OA) at around S$98 if not mistaken and the most expensive is Plantronics Discovery 925 (http://store.apple.com/us/product/TR199LL/A?fnode=MTY1NDA1MA&mco=MjE0NzY2OA) at S$229.

i'm using the H700 from motorola and it works without any hitches with my 16GB 3G iPhone

I'm using Sony Playstation Bluetooth Headset....

I'm still crossing my fingers and praying that next weeks v3.0 firmware release will incorporate the A2DP so that my Calypso SP can be paired for stereo ipod playback. Now the pairing is only for phone function

For the time being, my favorite mp3s are still stored on my Dopod 838 pro for wireless stereo playback

There is even a LYN member selling this item in garage sales.

A friend has a bluetooth pairing issue, his bluetooth headset is a Jabra unit. First time pairing works without any problems. The headset can be used as usual.

A couple of days later, the headset isn't paired anymore. He tried re-pairing but unsuccessful. So far he has tried:
1. Soft-reset
2. Hard-reset
3. Reset All Settings (from within Settings, General)
4. Delete paired device from list

Anyone else had this issue?

not sure any iphone 3g user experiencing the problem that i'm facing when i use the bluetooth headset making a call, the receiver can barely hear what i said and even though the volume of the speaker is at max (receiver's side). I also tried different brand of BT headset - motorolla, i-tech and jabra but result is still the same

Yeah, Me too...! Very poor, patchy and intermittent quality on the other party's end.
I tried several Sony pieces, Jabra, Nokia and EVEN the Apple unit. All had problems.
Finally settled on a Motorola unit. Not perfect, but the best of the lot.

Will this issue be addressed in the 3.0 ???
It's quite annoying

Have you tried to unpair and pair again? From what the staff @ machines mentioned to me, they had quite a lot of feedback on the iTech, in the sense that first time pairing works fine. But whatever you do, don't unpair it. Once you do that, it won't be able to pair it back again.

If you've not done so, pls don't try it out for the sake of trying out, just in case. I'm just curious if there's any cases of successful 2nd pairing or not.

Apparently the Jabra has got the same problem as the iTech as well, that it has got problems if you're trying to pair it for a 2nd time.

is there any bluetooth headset for iphone that allows me to also listen to music & movies? any good recommendation?

Not being able to use the BT headset for music & movies is more of a thing with the iPhone, not the headset.

after getting back the replacement unot from warranty claim, it's still the same

Have you managed to resolve this yet? I am having the same problem but its intermittent with the receiver not being able to hear me sometimes and clearly other times (during the same call) and I was hoping updating to OS 3.0 would help. It seems to be better but the problem is still there. Any ideas? Thanks.

Added on July 6, 2009, 5:54 pmNmind. OS 3.0 resolved the problem. It's not perfect but much better. Just had to pair the bluetooth again.
