Several new Plantronics Pulsar 260 reviews published

It was over a month ago that I’ve published an all-in-one comparative review & compatibility report (available HERE) on three A2DP (stereo Bluetooth) headphones. Now that the headphones have also arrived at the U.S. too (at last, something we Europeans got way earlier than you Americans ;) ), a lot of reviews have surfaced on well-known headset / headphones manufacturer Plantronics’ new Pulsar 260 also featured in the above-linked roundup.

Unfortunately, as has been emphasized numerous times by me and a LOT of other mostly XDA-Developers and HowardForums users (I really recommend following the BT & A2DP-related posts in these two forums, there are some very knowledgeable people there; for example, Fire Dragan in the latter forum), the current state and implementations of the A2DP standard are far from perfect and interoperability is REALLY reduced. This means on paper A2DP-capable headphones are not guaranteed to co-work with any A2DP sources. An example of this, in addition to the major sound quality problems with the MS BT stack, is the constant reconnection problems (resulting in annoying beeps and pauses) with the Nokia 5300. And, of course, the sound quality issues...

This also means you WILL want to read my review & comparison. Believe me, no matter what some people state, these headphones deliver REALLY BAD sound quality when used together with the Microsoft Bluetooth stack coming with almost all current Windows Mobile-based devices (except for the Acer models, the HP iPAQ’s (including the hw6915) and the Fujitsu-Siemens T830). I’ve also elaborated on these issues in this PPCT thread – it’s REALLY worth giving a read to see why I state they are incompatible with the stack. You’ve been warned – don’t come telling me you’ve shelled out $50…$100 for a really bad-sounding pair of BT headphones because I haven’t warned you ;)

OK, the new reviews, packed with photos:

The Gadgeteer review

GearDiary review

Digital Trends review

CTIA 2007 Blog post; related PPCT thread

BTW, upon the European release of the 260, Plantronics still didn’t have the promised and, in the leaflet accompanying the headphones, referenced online documentation. Now it’s out and available here.

Thank you for the great reviews!

Any success on getting the widcomm stack working on the trinity. I have tried the hermes version and am able to get it going without the memory errors but it does not seem to actually invoke the bluetooth radio(even though the driver loads)--no sensing of / or discovery by other bluetooth devices.
[General Accessories] roboHaxx:
Just bought the Moto S9 stereo bluetooth headset

After trying out the headset in the store to make sure it would fit around my large noggin, I splurged on the Motorola S9 bluetooth stereo headset. I'm using it with my 8525 (Hermes).

The headset works just like the manual says, no surprises. It paired instantly, and stays paired. I use another bluetooth accessory (my car) more often, and the phone switches between the two without any issues.

The sound is very good; better than the supplied wired headphones, and significantly louder. The callers on the other end say it sounds just fine. The microphone is actually in the right earpiece, so during calls, the sound only comes out the left earpiece. There's no microphone hole on the headset, so it must use the ear canal for acquiring the voice.

I can skip tracks and pause playback in WMP from the headset, and I can answer/end calls. Supposedly you can mute a caller, do voice dialing, etc. but I don't really use those features, so I haven't tested them

I called my home answering machine and left a message to hear what I sounded like. Whether I was talking quietly or loudly the volume stayed consistent. The microphone must offer some level of compression to make this happen. That's convenient because these things are almost invisible when I wear them (kinda long hair) and talking softly keeps me from attracting too much attention.

All in all, a very good purchase even though I already have 2 other bluetooth (mono) headsets. (Which will probably never be used again.)

hi guys, my first post :)

i have recently purchased plantronics pulsar 260, so im writing my thoughts down:

1. optic:

- earphones: looking like some random crappy earphones

- receiver: is ok

2. clips:

- microphone clip: is ok, holding strong

- receiver clip: well, now i know why plantronics gave us such long cable, i didnt found any suitable place on my shirt to fix it into, clip is uselles, so it went to ... my pocket

3. setup:

- pairing: no probs

- led: annoying, it shows battery status only while starting the device

- keys: beeping on every key-press - annoying while listening to music

4: sound quality

- htc hermes: with different roms, diferrent a2dp settings (jointstereo, bitpool, etc) - was just torrible

- se w950: same as hermes easy to pair with poor quality (w950 dosnt allow any advanced settings)

in both cases, sound was bad, similar to a bad tuned radio station,

there is a huge gap between w950 wired (hpm-82) and pulsar 260 earphones, in favor of w950

well im dunno, if those earphones are fake or are supposed to be this way ..

for now, im not going to buy anything more from plantronics

ps. support was really nice to speak with, but in the end could not help at all, anyway my + to them

ps2. sry for my bad eng ;)
[General Accessories] Rayan:
My Plantronics Pulsar P590 works great with all my A2DP enabled WM devices including my beloved Trinity, not sure why you don't recommend them with MS Stack, they do work great for me under both usages (music or calls)!!!

I'm really pleased with it's performance!!!
[General Accessories] jtonton:
Happy owner of a Plantronic Pulsar 260 since a week, I confirm that it works perfectly with my trinity. (ROM AXEL 2.8.0.1 - HTCustom Join stereo 58)

Sound is load and clear, no disconnection.

Very good autonomy. (more than 8hours playing music)

I'am very satisfied with this headset, very good buy.

[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drewb0y:
I got my Fire TV primarily to use for Netflix and XBMC. We had a trial Prime membership which was then cancelled.

I did enable Parental Controls with a PIN for purchases, but apparently my children were able to somehow sign up for Prime using the remote without a PIN.

Amazon support was very nice about cancelling it again, but I would like to disable the ability to signup for Prime from the Fire TV box completely

Just a warning for anyone else who wants to use it without Prime.

Guess it's time for me to either remove the menu listings for everything I don't want or set XBMC to auto launch and then add shortcuts to the other android apps I want.

This was on a rooted device with 51.1.4.1_514013920fixed ROM.

Did you manage to get all the parts to each case? I ordered one and only got the top and middle piece. I been going back and forth with customer service and pretty much been told to ask for a refund and pay full price for another case.
[One (M7) Accessories] geojoking:
Sorry for your problem. My friend in the US received the cases I had ordered, all parts.

I kind of feel deceived though, the "yellow" one is very yellow, when compared to the more greenish aspect that was presented on the website. Anyway, I got a great deal IMO.
[One (M7) Accessories] rayndog3:
I picked up 2 cases right at noon eastern time when the sale went live. honestly though, I love the design of these cases, but they are so friggan slippery, its almost impossible to use with one hand without it wanting to slip out of you hand. so the trusty otterbox went back on the next day.

Well, my friend came back from the US and brought the two double dip cases I had ordered when they were 1$ each.

I already had the "normal" one (red+light grey+dark grey), and I couldn't wait for the extra colors to combine them :D

They look great and everything, but man, do they scratch the phone!!!!

They are supposed to be PROTECTIVE cases, instead they scratch the phone when you attach/dis-attach them !!!!!

Eitherway, I now have a beautiful 2mm scratch from the top part. I'll post a photo tomorrow to see what I'm talking about!

Thanks HTC, for offering GREAT quality on your products. Had I known this would happen, I wouldn't have ordered them at all!
