I bought one of those too off of ebay for that same price. Got it, the SE logo peeled off. Sound sucked. Broke within a day. Called up Sony and they confirmed it was fake. Something like on the back of the DS970 the real ones don't have chinese characters or something like that. My faith in ebay was then soiled. Got my money back tho, which helped some. (only took 2 weeks)

I have been having lots of trouble with my z9i. Everybody says I sound great but I get lots of static on the receive side. The unit seems to have a real shot range, only a few feet. I have tried Blueant firmware v1.0 and the yet unreleased v1.1. I am using the latest at&t test ROM v3.55 on my Tilt.:mad:

the one i am using currently is the clip d radio by itech. got it on ebay for 84$

ive owned most of the ones mentioned above but many werent loud enough, or didnt support bt 2.x and skipped alot on my kaiser(i jog with it)...i bought this recently because i was interested in how good bt 2.1 w/edr sounded(on pc) and i wanted the fm radio function as well...ive only had it for a week but so far so good...audio is louder than most sets and the best part of this set is that it is probably the only bt stereo headset ive owned that actually sounds good on both ends with phone calls...it also supports caller id...different ringtones...voice/button dial...fm station presets all on a nice oled screen and clips nicely anywhere u like...here's a picture(taken on kaiser of course)

large pic

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v204/tae777/IMAG0086.jpg

i also own this headset as well...sony drc-bt15 white....and to be honest its my favorite...if i didnt need that dambed fm radio at work id use this one exclusively...it supports bt 2.0 w/edr and has mp3 support!...and its as loud as a horn on a steamboat....its the only headset out of the 8 ive owned that i never turned the volume to its max out of fear for my hearing....it comes in various colors but i chose the white..make sure to get it on ebay as fry's will only have black and will cost you 129.99$...got mine for 91$ on ebay...also the controls work flawlessly with the kaiser whereas the itech clip d can sometimes freeze up for a minute or two when you initialize it through the clip itself....the sony has no issues at all.....the sony also supports different volume levels for calls and stereo bt which is nice except that it sounds horrible during calls....the battery life is outstanding on this unit and it charges very quickly...heres a pic of the black n white...

ill follow up when ive owned these two longer...ive returned so many headsets recently i think fry's hates me but i think i have a winner in these two..

so basically

overall performance clip d radio wins

based purely on sound quality and loudness sony hands down

both are light, good looking and have long lasting batteries...the 2.x w/edr also helps use less battery...

JawBone II

I have a paralyzed vocal chord, and was in the local AT&T store and the tech said I should try one. I told him I need a boom mic and he explained it has no mic at all. So I grabbed it and his Tilt and called my wife who freaked out hearing what was as close to my original voice as she had heard in 20 years! Needless to say I use the JawBone now!

Moto --> Jabra

I have a Moto H500, it works but alright. I sont notice static too much but the people i talk to with it notice an echo, prolly has a sound leak...

Just ordered Jabra BT3030. Definitely not the most stylish set:o, but it has A2DP and AVRCP and looks rathar functional. The phones are replaceable with any 3.5 mm set (Might give it a whirl with my fm transmitter). It comes with a lanyard and clip :p.

reefur,

from your experiences, does that mean bt2.1, music n sound quality wise, doesn't mean better than bt2.0?

What mobile are you pairing against?

what do you mean by lock up with clip d-radio?

thank you for help

currently using Motorola H680. pretty good headset. no complaints. got mine for $60. higly recommended. little to no "white noise". volume could be higher, but no issues there. nice little fit piece.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Accessories] brian_v3ntura:
lol no one cares. who is actually going to look past 2 pages reading what bluetooth ppl r using

i like to use used wired becuz i get a better sound quality and save battery life or actually walk around with my phone up to my ear so i dont look like a dummy walking thru the mall talking out of no where
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Accessories] faustog:
I am using a Motorola S9

It is a stereo Bluetooth device so I can listen to music; manage volume and tracks with the device without the need to go to the phone; and also answer phone calls since it has an internal microphone

It has the advantage of NO wires!!!

Is light and the sound quality (in my opinion) is good

Jawbone and BlueTake

I use the original Jawbone for day to day usage with great and amazing audio on both side of the call. I got my setup right so I can be with the headset all day long without remembering it's even there.

For stereo usage I got a BlueTake I-Phone Plus about 3 years ago and it still works great, great audio response, great battery life. I switch between my Kaiser and Laptop or have my laptop stream music while answering calls from my kaiser. I was surprise I can connect to two sources on same time but I guess it's due to the fact that each source is connected to a different BlueTooth profile.

But even with all the wireless solutions I got I still use a WIRED headset from Philips with active noise canceling connected to HTC wired remote control (RC W100) i got on eBay for 29$ under HTC's Dopod brand (When the full price is about 50$).
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Accessories] GinjiVitis:
JUST got my jawbone2 for my kaiser. I loved how low-key the first jawbone was and how well the noise cancelling worked but the damn thing was too uncomfortable. had to swap ears all the time which made it worse since i have glasses. the new jawbone is lighter, smaller and much more comfortable. audio quality is very good.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Accessories] dampeal:
Got a Tritton AX Micro, very small, very lightweight.. and the best part, for me at least is there is no ear loop.. sound is decent as well.

the only drawback is that it doesn't like wind, so it's not that great outside, but for me I'm rarely outside walking around and talking, I'm in a building or car so it's not a big deal to me.. and it's rather inexpensive, cheapest price I found was $30 plus shipping
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Accessories] LaPank:
Does this mean that the sound quality during calls is generally bad?

Does anyone know how the DRC-BT115 compares to the HBH-DS205 ?

Thanks in advance!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Accessories] p51d007:
Well, I have retired my jawbone2 for the Joby Zivio boom. On my 3rd week, no problems. Connected to the (at&t rom 6.1) Tilt. VERY loud incoming sound, good base response. Both my jawbone 1 & 2 did suffer from a "tinny" sound.

From the people I talk to, they say the outgoing sound is a little better than the

jawbones, probably because the zivio doesn't not use DSP (I think). Boom is

VERY strong, made of some sort of shape memory metal.

So far...so good.

samsung wep-200 and volume is too low. is there anyway to make the phones bluetooth turn off when i turn off the headset? whats the best headset for the tilt?

i am looking for miniusb headset too
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Accessories] yesod7:
The best one for your Tilt is the one you like best!

I use the Jabra BT1080, which is a stereo bluetooth headset. The second earpiece detatches from the main, so you can use just the one. It syncs up fast, responds quickly, and sounds great. It has an automatic noise filter which seems to work well; I get good reviews from the people I'm talking to.

When I have both "ears" on, the stereo sound is beautiful.

Good Luck!:):):)

Plantronics PLT 510, great sound, & good micro!!!,patch blutooth on kaiser for better quality!!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Accessories] dampeal:
I've got the Tritton AxMicro, been using that for while, very comfortable, loud clear sound, but it suffers from wind interference...

just got the Jabra BT530, a couple weeks ago, it's just not quite comfortable for me, but the noise dampening is great, what jabra calls 'noise blackout'

I've the Jawbone2 on the way this week, so we'll see how it compares...

eventually I'll find one that I like..

And some of us actually need our hands free for either driving, typing, or taking notes. I personally would never go back to having a wire between my phone and I, as I find it invites for things to snag on.

I've been using the Motorola H12 for the past 8 months:

Pros:

Excellent sound reproduction. Callers sound very natural.

Excellent battery life. Usually 5-6 hours of solid talk time, with a very quick recharge

Excellent fit and comfort level. I wear mine all day, and forget I have it on often.

Cons:

I'm slightly hard of hearing, and the H12 just does not go loud enough for me.

Very picky about the bitpool settings and radios in the Kaisers as far as how it sounds to the person on the other end. Right now, I've a perfect setup, and usually I'm mistaken for being on a good quality land based line.

Also:

I've used the Jawbone I with both my Q9h and my Kaiser, and was very disappointed with the incoming quality. I understand some of you love them, and hope the Jawbone II is better than the first, but if you want natural sounding voices, Motorola's Crystal Talk tech in the H12 is spot on.

Depends on my mood, I have a jawbone 2, wep200, and hbh ds220 with shure e4c buds. I had a plantronics 590a as well, but hate over ear so I gave it to my son.

There is no best headset, it just depends on whether I want a mini dong hanging from the side of my head(JB2), low volume(wep), or the rock out with two earbuds in(sony). Walking through downtown hollywierd last weekend the jawbone really did a decent job of keeping the racket down so both parties could hear well.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Accessories] DaArtist401:
Using the Jabra BT-8040. Works great. Its one ear piece, but it also has a2dp and can connect to 2 devices simultaneously. I use it between the PS3 and the Kaiser and it works pretty nicely as you can switch to phone when recieving a call. Best Bluetooth headset i've used personally. Audio quality isnt too bad on one ear piece but of course it wouldnt match the quality of standard headphones, but it works. I needed something like this device for when im at work since i get bored and whenever people talk to me, i can actually hear them.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Accessories] GreenLantern:
snagged myself a plantronics voyager 510. I know it's a 1.2 device, but it's extremely clear, range in my house seems to be pretty good. Get some static when there's a wall or two between us, but other then that, works like a charm with MSVC.

I use the Plantronics Discovery 655. small/Lightweight (apprx 9grams), comfortable different sized ear gels, charger/vibrating holster-convenient..I like to clip it either on my belt or just hanging on my shirt...call comes inI just pop into my ear as it automatically connects (no button pushing)...none of that old style over the ear hoop.

Thanks for the suggestion, I'll look into it :)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Accessories] jpope:
I'm using a Plantronics Voyager 855. Have been using it for a couple weeks now and I absolutely love it. Just being able to change it from mono to being a stereo headset makes this the perfect headset for me. The sound quality is great, especially with the EQ in Coreplayer. Has lots of bass with clear highs. Pairing was a breeze and reconnecting in the morning is as simple as just turning the headset on (I pretty well always have bluetooth turned on on my tilt). I haven't had any complaints from anyone I've talked to with it. The only issue I've had with it was finding the right softgels to fit in my ears, which it came with 4 different sizes. I totally recommend this headset to anyone interested.

I actually had a funny experience getting this headset. I was bidding on a few auctions on ebay for it and managed to win two headsets for approx. $50US apiece. I won the auctions on a Saturday and paid for them that night. On Monday morning I got an email from lexy.com saying that I had won a headset in the "Hearing is Believing" contest they have going on. So now I had three 855's on the way all for way less than the list price for one. I was able to sell off the extra 2 I now had and in the end, I only spent about for $30 for the one I kept. As amazing as this headset sounds I would have gladly paid double what I did, and almost did. :)

Hi Reefur and thanks for the info. I am very interested in this I.Tech but I have already bought 2 other headset in the past from them and I have had a lot of problem with both. With the last one, Clip IIs , sometime it disconnect itself from phone and it doesn't reconnect on a call, other time it seems to be mute, with no any sound from the phone and I need to soft reset to get it working again. Moreover, the sound level is not so high.

Have you ever had problems like mine with your headset?

thanks for reply and sorry for bad english.

motorola h12 or plantronics 815? im really leaning towards the h12 though. main concerns are sound quality and how it fits and if it can be worn all day with no problem and ive narrowed it down to these two

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Accessories] azazelx:
Just got my Motorola H12 in today, and can i say, it is by far the best(and only 2nd bluetooth) headset ive ever used! It blows the Official ps3 headset away in comfort, design, and voice quality.

as for plantronics. . . .they probably actually manufacture most of the head sets we have been talking about but i will never buy one branded with plantronics. i spent 55 dollars on one and it was the biggest no charge/static piece of junk i have ever used. and their customer service was horrible.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Accessories] mbernstein:
Plantronics is great but ultimately sucks - what about Jabra BT3030?

I've had two Bluetooth Stereo headsets since last December, both Plantronics. This shows that I like their products. But after regular usage (not heavy: no jogging) but putting on pants pockets, one or two small falls (really small, that happen to everybody, not clumsy, breaking falls), everyday, they both broke differently:

- Voyager 855 - connection to second earbud got loose after three months until there was no connection anymore, and it became a mono headset.

- Pulsar 260 - although more clumsy to use than the amazingly small and convenient 855, I really liked its sound quality and full command of Music Player. Then, after I believe not even 6 months I was listening to it, had to stop it for a few minutes, and when I picked it up again it was plain dead. It does not turn on, does not respond to charging, dead. It has not fallen since from putting it down to picking it up again it was in front of me!

Of course, after these two fast failed experiences I am very suspicious of giving Plantronics another try (I don't live in the US, so warranty is no use for me). Considering my normal usage, although I loved the smallness and lightness of the 855, I value more the functionality of the Pulsar. Thus I looked for something similar.

I came across the Jabra BT3030. It looks very similar to the Pulsar. I saw a few post that praised it. One with the Kaiser, here. But does anyone have an experience with this with long time usage? Is it sturdy? Reliable in the long run? Does it work well with HTC 6.1 ROM? Has anyone had the chance to compare the Jabra to the Pulsar?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Accessories] RojasTKD:
UPDATE:

I some times have people tell me they couldn't hear me or there was alot of static with my BlueAnt Z9i. I slo from time to time hear some static with made it difficult to hear the other person. I don't know if it just dosen't work well with my phone or what.

Picked up a Jawbone 2 and have ben very happy. I have yet to get a complaint, and have had several tell me I sound much better.

Bluetooth mono with next and back buttons

Does anyone know of a Mono headset with "next" and "back" track buttons in addition to play/pause?

Also, anyone knows if on Jabra BT8010 I can map the "next track" button with Pocket Player" (map it to backwards for instance)?

Thanks.
