Motorola S705 A2DP bluetooth headset

What a truly excellent headset, this is the first headset I've ever had that just works.
On the Bluetooth side of things it claims to have hundred metre Bluetooth, which I always thought would only work if the device it is connected to is also hundred metre capable, which may or may not be the case as I have not been able to get a hundred meters away yet. What I will say is that unlike any other headset I've ever had, I can for the first time freely wander around my flat without any audio dropouts or interruption both on phone calls and whilst listening to music no matter how far away from my phone I get. The fact that it has a standard headphones connector is a brilliant idea and allows me to use my Sennheiser's
Another first is the FM radio, that actually does work using the headphones cable as the aerial. I have had several devices in the past that have attempted to do this, and none have ever worked properly as they tend to only find the strongest signals (the worst offender being the Nokia HS-12). As an added bonus the radio is also RDS.
It has a simple but intuitive menu system, the sound quality is excellent but thats probably more to do with my headphones than the actual device.
The downside is that it is a little bit big but this just makes it a comfortable size to use.
It is hard to put into words how well it just works, my previous headset a Sony Ericsson HBH970, had some funny quirks. For example, when in stereo mode if you have audible taps enabled it would be mute for the first four screen taps, and then on the fifth screen tap It would play all the taps together as though it had been buffering the audio, whereas this plays them as they happen. I think ultimately, quirks like this come down to the fact that the majority of headsets that we purchase are not designed to be used with PDA phones, but rather specific phones from the same manufacturer as the headset, this device has been designed from the ground up work with everything. Or so, it says. and I for one believe it.

does it have vibrate option?

nope, my other option was the itech clip D-radio (not to be confused with the itech clip radio), which does vibrate, and also has the abilitiy to let you look though your last calls list and dial from that ! but availability is an issue because it is new, so unless you want it from a dodgy hong kong ebayer with only 95% feedback and a history of selling counterfeit items. you will have to wait !
PS it has no RDS and only 10M bluetooth but is otherwise very similarly featured

Are you sure the D-radio vibrates? The sites I see says it has "3 buzzer alert modes for incoming calls" which I thought probably meant it has three different ringtones built in for different caller IDs.

hmmm you have got me thinking now, but im fairly sure I read that it vibrated, but maybe your right.

I hope you are right. I really need a pendant style A2DP headset that vibrates.

I thought it's not being sold any more? I was looking to use it with the bluetooth vibrating bracelet but couldn't find it on the moto website.

Diamond renders A2DP useless

Another day, another bug..
We tout a2dp as a killer feature, but whats the point when after listening to music you take or make a call, only for the music to resume by blaring from your PHONE SPEAKER afterwards, prompting you to soft reset just to get your headphones working again. This is very embarassing and did NOT Happen with my old HTC Touch.
What gives HTC?

i've heard about this bug.
use coreplayer (from my experience) or another civilized, technically advanced app. forget about the original prog. i can add that i am amazed by the quality of a2dp. i don't have any skip. the quality is the same as the wired headphones.
please don't give me the usual "but i bought...and i expected...". get used to it. diamond is strong in some fields and not so strong in others.
maybe they'll (xda-dev) find a cure. let's hope

Doesent happen with my phone ... works like a charm for me..
Even if I connect to bluetooth amplifire and someone is calling, it pauses and I take the call on the phone... and then it plays again when i hang up...

same thing here also as darth

No im sorry. There is no excuse. This is poor quality control and id expect better from HTC.
Either the Diamond supports A2DP or it doesnt. There is no inbetween, thats slack.
I expect to be able to use the official player as its quick to launch and easy to jump to a specific album/artist.
Now I cannot walk out and about, fire up A2DP and enjoy music while being able to take calls.
Now I cant even accept calls on the train if I have been listening to music.
Its a joke and it needs to be sorted.
We mock iPhone for not having A2DP but whats the point - we dont have it (working) either!

Hold on.. lets get something straight, you think its UNREASONABLE for me to expect A2SP to actually work.... It worked just fine on my old HTC Touch and yet my Diamond cant seem to do the job properly.
Instead of sticking your head in the sand and being in flat out denial about the state of the Diamond, why dont you acknowlege the problem and work WITH people like me to try and find a solution.

lol
is it possible that it works on certain headsets than others...?
i have an i.tech and it works fine...however quality itself isnt too great...
but i dont have the music blaring via speakers problem after answering a phone call....
maybe release to us
rom version & headset model?

Same problem here using a BT Sony-Ericsson headset. Latest FR official ROM. And I agree it's very annoying.

Now I cannot walk out and about, fire up A2DP

"Fire up A2DP" ?, LOL. You make it sound like it happens in a push of a button.
The process of enabling A2DP takes some dozen clicks deep into the ancient parts of the WM interface.

Nothing gives dude - I use Sony DS-970 and A2DP works great I use it all day, quality is great never had a single issue - phone and A2DP works flawlessly i.e jumping between call and music and vice-versa is flawless...

For me too btw, with DS-980...

So we have people claiming this problem does not exist and we have others saying it does.
Surely this needs to be investigated further right? Because If A2DP isnt working correctly then I conisder that a vital feature lost.
Im using the Sony DRBT30Q with the latest official UK WWE Diamond ROM and let me add that this worked FLAWLESSLY with my old original HTC Touch.

i don't know if htc alone is to be blamed for these issues....A2DP is a very volatile technology which needs support from all parties involved (i.e the Headset vendor, the Phone vendo and the OS vendor)...and in your case, any of these can be responsible for the problems ur facing
i've had a similar problem with my del bh200 bluetooth headset...the music sounds pretty decent (in fact, i distinctly feel it played better on my earlier HTC Touch elfin)...however, whenever a call comes in, the headset switches off and i have to pair it again...which means we can't use it in handsfree mode....
the same headset however works with several other models in both handsfree and wireless stereo mode
after searching a bit, i found that the problem lies with the microsoft bluetooth stack...so summing up, investigate a bit before naming your thread "diamond renders a2dp useless"

No such problems here.
SwBL's latest rom with Plantronics Voyager 855 headset
Just start media player and hit main button and A2DP starts up, Incoming calls work fine, music mutes and starts up as soon as the call ends.

Sprint Diamond Stock Firmware with Jabra BT8010 1.4 firmware (latest)
Music and calls work fine... Sprint TV doesn't play nice with A2DP and the headset randomly starts playing nothing at times.
I think HTC and Sprint fixed music playback with A2DP but left the other quirks of the Bluetooth Stack for later.
I remember a similar problem on my HTC Vogue, but that fixed right up after the GPS REV A Update.

I didn't want to open a new thread, but this does have to do with bluetooth. Does any body know, when the SE IS-800 are coming out, because the release date of "late 2008" is a bit vague...

Can this have something to do with radio rom version?
I use Sony DS-980.
I had v1.00.25.05 and upgraded to v1.00.25.08 and last time I received a phone call I had to answer the call from my Diamond and after the call the sound came from the phone speaker. I can't remember this happened when I used .05 version

Folks,
I've been using this one on HD Jabra BT3030 Stereo. My HD2 is on its way and should be here wednesday the lastest but what I can say is that this one is really amazing. It is able to give you control over volume up/down, music rewind/forward and next/previous function of the HTC player. Having that you will never need to take it out of the case for making calls or hearing music. On HTC its also supporting the Voice calling.
But as I said, not tested it on HD2 yet. I will give it a try and post my result here as soon as my HD2 is there.
Indeed this dog tag"-Look is something you need to like but in my opinion its an eye catcher ;-)
Cheers,

BT3030 is a very nice HS, but there seems to be a problem with HD2, dont know if that exists with other headsets too.

it sound great....looking forward for your feedback

how to make the hd2 play music through the bluetooth headset? i have a sony headset added as a bluetooth device with the stereo headset option ticked. also i am able to use it for phone calls but not music.

I am using the bt3030 from jabra also,but instead of the jabra earbuds,i buyed senneheiser cx300 precision,combine this with srs wow hd and do some bluetooth tweaking like verry high bitrate etc and you got some booming bass on the head with nice and clear treble,and clear mid tones....whoooo

Sony Ericsson MW600 - Both for phone and stereo bluetooth. It has a small display, dipslays caller ID for contacts, you can adjust volume (although the slider takes a little getting used too, it is much more linear than the HD2 controls), has a 2.5mm headset jack so you can replace the headset with whatever you choose. Great sound reproduction from standard headphones. Fantastic battery life. Uses micro-usb to charge, so is compatible with HTC HD2 chargers. You can pair with multiple devices. Has worked flawlessly for me. Paid $75 AUS Dollars

the volume control is easy. the manual says that you need to slide across the whole slider to activate volume then you can just slide to the desired volume. works great. highly recommend this headset. also payed about $80 aud online for it.

Hi,
Personnaly, I am using IQUA BHS-701. It is light, good balance between quality and price. Very good sound (phone and music)good bass. It is the best one for jogging according my knwoledge. It has it's own volume contrôle, overiding the HD2 one. there is mini USB slot to charge it. The disign philosophie is close to the jabra. Reception disance is good. Finally it is a 83grams headfone and it last 10 hrs music.

Motorola S9 or Jaybird work great!
Both are "waterproof". I also use WOW (free ap) - try the Jaybird first - they won't be comfortable for everyone.

HD2 and sony erricson mw600 review

Hey guys, i`ve been browsing the site for a while and thought it about time to make an original contribution. I was looking for a blue tooth headset and my searches here lead me to the MW600. quite a few people were asking about it so i thought it a good opportunity to give my review now that i have one!
from the start then, i bought this as i have a very nice pair of headphones i wanted to use with the phone, but could not be doing with cords. most bluetooth headsets have their own headphones which i get along with even less. this seemed a perfect solution to both problems.
the box it comes in is flimsy at best, indeed the plastic tab to hang the box on is completely lose, useless for hanging up in a shop.
out the box, its a lot smaller than i imagined but a bit thicker too. it comes with a charger that handily also fits the HD2 which is an added bonus and un expected!
when i paired up to the phone i was very surprised to find that the unit displayed the song info correctly. i honestly did not expect this to work outside of a sony erricson phone but it works! the next track and previous track buttons work as well, as does the play and stop buttons.
the hands free works fine as well with the person who called me not knowing i was on a hands free.
the volume control is awful, they decided to use a slider that half the time does not register me raising the volume and when it does its impossible to get the right volume setup, its either too high or too low and the slider is too imprecise to get the setting i want!
I cannot comment on the enclosed head phones as i never used them!
When i play some music through the device ( and that is of course what its for) the results are slightly dispaointing. the sound is okay, but that is about as best as i can describe it. maybe its because i am spoilt by the good quality output from the 3.5mm jack on the phone, maybe i am just used to having some EQ on (which the unit does not provide for and the phone says it cannot apply `audio booser` without somer thing being plugged in the 3.5mm jack) but the bass is there (thanks on no small part to the ehadphones rather than the unit) but the mid seems `transparent` with no real hit and the highs are annoyingly 'sparkly'. This os of course my opinion, and others may find the output perfectly fine and for comparison i also do not like the output of ipods as i find their mid lacking as well so if your happy with i pod output you maybe happy with this units output,
I have never needed to re charge the unit yet after 3 days of having it and listing to it in the morning for 2 hours and on the way home for an hour so the battery seems quite good.
I love the unit but the quality of the output means i will only really use it when i have to, prefering to use the audio jack output, i am however going to look into how the unit works as i suspect the phone is sending SBD encode audio and not the native mp3. if i can ge tthe unit to decode MP3 and the phone to send mp3 then i think we have a winner!
For reference i used CD originals encoded to lame 3.98 -V1.

just ordered mine. thanks for the review. i will also post up my opinion of the headset when it arrives. if it is as good as the include wired version, that will be good enough for me.

Hey thanks for the review as I'm getting one but you didn't speak about the radio does it work? anything else? cheers mate

Thanks for your review.
But could you edit it so that it's not so hard to read?
Spaces between a few sentences would suffice.

Thanks for the review, install WOW SRS and it should improve the sound quality via bluetooth but it will kill audio booster when plugged with the 3.5mm jack and always use WOW SRS.

Vrery nice, all working apart from Cyberon voice dialer, you can initiate Cyberon voice application by clicking the phone button on headset but can't pass voice to the phone as it doesn't recognize voice. It looks like the problem relates to cyberon not mw600.

The Miri V10 ROM is on the HTCpedia forums (I think it is V11 now, not tried it)

Just got mine, tried it and I have to say:
THE MUSIC QUALITY IS CRAP!!!!!

headphones arrived today. WOW. excellent audio and far better than oem headphones. have yet to play with it on radio etc, but so far very impressive.

I have a problem
After the end of any audio file
Lose "stereo audio" connection
and have to push the play button to reconnect "stereo audio"
and also
After the end of calls
Lose "Hands Free" connection
and have to push the Talk button to reconnect "Hands Free"
but if i received a call
"Hands Free" reconnect automatically
But there is a delay for two seconds
I do not know this is normal?
Like power autosaving!!!

this is definately not normal. mine works flawlessly. no need to reconnect ever. i would suggest checking your bluetooth settings and pairing settings again to make sure everything is correct.

I am using smartWatchM with Sony Ericsson MBW-150
I think there is a conflict between the Watch and mw600 connection

The problem is from latest windows build (23569) & (21903 )
When i go back to an old build like (23519)
There is no conflict between the Watch and mw600 connection
Waiting for a solution to this problem or update for Windows without problems

Delays
Does anyone else experience a 3-5 sec delay when the HD2 jumps 1 song/chapter forward?
My combination gives a this delay, which is especially annoying when listening to audiobooks!
I miss a few seconds of every new chapter, need to manually jump 1 chapter forward and the back again.
Does not appear when manually going forward/reverse only when HD2 is in control.

Which bluetooth: Blueant Q1 vs Jawbone Icon

I am looking to get one of these two headsets for use with my Nexus S as well as my Galaxy Tab(Skype purposes). For anyone who has had either of these, which one do you prefer and why? I want to get the one that will work BEST with my Android phone. Also, can these headsets(both A2DP) be used while on a Skype voice call?

I love my Icon I can hear very well and people say I sound great. I don't use Skype so I can't answer that. Pick one if you don't like it return it for the other.

Sent from somewhere using something.

Have you looked into the Blueant T1? Its similar to the Q1 but actually works with Android's built in voice commands.

I use the Blueant Q2, and I've found it to be the best headset thus far, and works great on my i9020T. Voice commands work, and you can answer or ignore calls by simply saying "answer" or "ignore". It also says who's calling from the phonebook because the Q2 requests the phonebook after pairing.
It's clear, works great in a workplace setting (I work at Costco selling phones at the kiosk), and its battery is decent enough for a full day of work (about 10-14 hrs straight, 2-3 hrs music listening).

Your saying that the Voice Actions such as 'send message to' and 'navigate to' work with the Q2 and your not talking about the voice commands? If so, I will most likely pick up the Q2.

I'll double check for you tomorrow since it's charging right now. I haven't actually used the Voice Actions without using a bluetooth headset, so it'll be fun trying to do so. I believe voice to text works properly though.

Any update? I am really curious if the Q1 works with the Voice Actions as well. I would assume that if the Q2 does, the Q1 will.

Anyone?
Sent from my Samsung Galaxy Tab

I have both Q1 and Jawbone. Look wise I prefer Q1 but sound quality there's no match between the two (icon wins by very-very Far). Both has A2DP, both have voice control, both have app for android.. but.... jawbone is more polished in all aspect. download the apps yourself and try it out. You don't really need to have the product to check out their app. Q1 is an older product so this really isn't a fair match

Does Skype and Google Voice Actions work with the Jawbone Icon?
Sent from my Samsung Galaxy Tab

I own both of these headsets and the Blueant ones annoy the crap out of me. I love my icon and the noise cancellation is a bit better.

I've used both and discarded both. After long consideration I went with the Bose and haven't regretted it one bit. The sound quality is amazing - I always had problems with road noise interfering with phone calls, but not anymore.
The fit is excellent as well - I can leave it in my ear all day long and not notice it. Volume is great, and I love the ability to pair it to multiple devices - up to 6!
Downside is cost of course, but as much as I use it, the $150 was well spent.

I use blue ant Q2 and have used both icon era & Q1. To me the blue ants are more efficient.
