It seems you dont use the wired headset much ...... i hate to use the typical bluetooth headset beacuse i love the ear bud kind of headset which blocks most surrounding noise compared to most of the bluetooth ones. But using the wired headset means that you are lumbered with the tangling long cable and getting it right when you put em on otherwise it's just a mess.

So for a guy like me who like to listen to something without any background music and still enjoy the comfort of bluetooth with less wires this is an ideal solution .....

I have been checking this out and its suppossedly coming out in the UK on on the 8th of MArch 2010 and from what i see play.com is selling it for £39.99 and that seems to be the cheapest price around.

what about MOTOROLA S7 HD have everone try it?
[HD2 Accessories] Sander:
I really like a cordless headset/in ear phones as well. I own a headset but I think it's to large. I ask this because the sony in ear headphones still have a wire.
[HD2 Accessories] EFMax:
A few posters have said that they have tried these and were disappointed or what could one expect for £12 (but their own headsets are an important factor - £12 headsets with a £12 device is not likely to be very exciting - plus sometimes a component can show up the weaknesses of a previous components as I have not noticed any of the faults that have been previously mention).

Anyway I ordered one from Hong Kong over the weekend and today Thursday, it arrived.. charged it up and I am well impressed. Connection and pairing was straight forward and transmission is good. It is much smaller than the image suggest, actually it just small and very neat.. can live with the plug in rather than straight into the body.. makes it quite flexible when I am out on my bike..

Sound wise, well I am testing them with a set of quality Sennheiser and a quality set Bang & Olufsen headset (designed for mobiles) and the sound quality from low quality MP3's (just to get more unto my card) is actually quite impressive.. Actually I wonder if anyone can tell that these MP3's are seriously compressed, highs are clean and the lows are low..

Voice wise, no problem hearing people and them have none hearing me.

Control wise, they actually ALL work.. vol (up and down), track changing, call answer, call end, last number redial..

I have previously had other devices including a Nokia BH500 which cost me over 6x the price and that unit was naff and always giving me grief..

This unit gets my thumbs up and as for transmission, even through walls into the next room.. its all good, so I am very pleased with coming across the suggestion, well worth my £13 and that included the postage.. Bargain..

re

How about the battery capacity EFMax

Thanx!
[HD2 Accessories] EFMax:
Will get back in a few days when I have gone through a typical use/discharge/recharge and let you know.. I gave it an initial charge when I first got it and just played music through it and made about 4 calls and it was running for about 4-5hrs before I had to stop playing and go to bed.
[HD2 Accessories] leenk:
re

That would be helpful!

I have found a few vids doing a search on youtube(AV890)

Where these devices have failed me in the past was their unreliability to communicate with the host over body parts(had to wear the device on the same side of my bod as the receiver was - and even then it cut out), distances, walls, seating of the actual earpieces, and general flimsiness - aside from the price I guess...

I don't have an issue with a few wires going to my ear using my well seated and quality headphones - as long as the host device is free of any plugs, cables, wires, easy to manipulate, handle, wear.

What the most important aspect of such a BT device is for me @ this point(aside of course from sound q.) is it's range and it's ability to penetrate objects(walls of brick, glass, wood...etc.) Any chance you'd measure it's approximate range with the leo Mr Max?

Thanx for Your short review btw.
[HD2 Accessories] EFMax:
OK, well I have had mine a few days now and I usually use my when rowing in the gym or out on my bike so the units are close together.. but I did a few simple tests yesterday.. and I appreciate that all units might not be equal but.. In a straight line I was able to get approx 50ft transmission at which point it was cutting in and out.. I could place it in my living room on a desk and near the window and then going through to my bathroom which is on the otherside of my bedroom, so that is through two walls and only get minor cutting in and out when I shuffled myself around.. on the charge front, it seems to take approx 4hrs for a good charge and on simple standby - no connections or calls it just seem to go on for ever and I got impatient and just used it.. I have not yet played it for longer than 6 hours of music and I am just not that connected to need to be around the phone that long and while it is cold I am not out on my bike for that long either.. but I still think that for £13 I can't really argue.

When I look at my Nokia BH500, yes it is a much more solid built piece of kit, but it is not as pretty, none of the controls work on the HTC, neither the Touch HD or the HD2 bar the call button (but the music controls just won't work and they don't on either of my previous two Nokias (N81 or the E65).. so what can I say.. if it breaks down at £13 I can't complain really especially when I paid about £70 for the BH500 and now it sits as a white elephant in the corner..
[HD2 Accessories] leenk:
Thanx Max, I think I'll buy a few, I need them for other purposes as well.
[HD2 Accessories] Laurentius26:
Hi,

I've followed your advise and bought the headset, not bad indeed and a very good sound.

A deep bass wow.

And for that money.... :rolleyes:

Thanks :)
[HD2 Accessories] zurv:
is the MW600 the same as the HBH-DS205 in the USA?
[HD2 Accessories] chrisnash:
Just taken delivery of my Philips Tapster.

So far....?

LOVELY!!!

Design is great, touch controls are incredibly easy to use and master, all functions work on HD2 and great sound. Lovely separation, excellent bass response.

No idea about battery life yet, but so far the best of the 4 or 5 pairs I've now bought.

Very happy.
[HD2 Accessories] zurv:
well.. i ordered the Sony HBH-DS980 - hopefully it works will with the HD2.. oled display on it too - which hopefully talks to the phone too ^_^

[HD2 Accessories] streetbob:
Hi, I want to use these devices for my motorcycle helmet.

Can I plug in a headset with microphone and use this microphone?

Or must I use the build in microphone of the device. That´s impossible with the helmet.

Thanks
[HD2 Accessories] BT73:
Do you mean the MW600,

You can plug in every 3.5mm plug inside the MW600

Soif your helmet has a 3.5mm plug no problem....
[HD2 Accessories] streetbob:
I mean any of these devices.

The problem is, that these devices usually use there own buildin microphone.

Therefor I will not be able to use the buildin microphone of my helmet.

So I am searching for a bluetooth device with 2,5mm (or 3,5mm) socket, which supports a extern microphone.
[HD2 Accessories] boofhead:
how do you find the mw600 for audio quality in calls and when playing music. i have heard of problems with bluetooth headsets and the mic quality and people not being able you hear you talk or it comes out really unclear.
[HD2 Accessories] str0g:
Sound quality is equal to good cable solution.

Sound captured by microphone is loud and clear.

MW600 are worth their price.
[HD2 Accessories] chrism_scotland:
How compatible is the MW600 with the HD2? Does everything work ok?
[HD2 Accessories] MirasHD2:
I can't seem to find the SE MW600 on any US website for purchasing? Any help?
[HD2 Accessories] BT73:
I also find de sound and calls quality very good, tested and it was clear en loud...
[HD2 Accessories] BT73:
Everything works fine, volume +/-, skip, back, play, pause, even fast forward en backwards.
[HD2 Accessories] BT73:
I tested it with my V-moda (also has his own mic) no problem with calling...
[HD2 Accessories] n-j-f:
I hadn't used my old Jabra BT3030 for some time but it works great with my HD2. I can use my own headset with it. I can control volume and skip track as well as pause from the small media controls and they work with PocketPlayer, not just WMP.
[HD2 Accessories] chrism_scotland:
Does the display on the Bluetooth device show any song information? And can I use them with Music Players other then HTC Sense Music, like Pocket Tunes for example?
[HD2 Accessories] Wheelie82:
Hi!

I'm a happy user of a mw600, it's working great, shows song title and etc. But my question to you is this; when the phone is locked and positioned in the leather pouch, it unlocks when an incoming call appears. So when I'm talking in the headset I accidentally will click around on the screen.

Anybody got a solution for keeping the phone locked in my pocket when receiving calls?
[HD2 Accessories] n-j-f:
Yes - look at Pocketshield. I think that will do exactly what you want. Try it out to check.
[HD2 Accessories] BT73:
It shows the song information, caller nummer id, but i have not tried it wit pocket tunes.... Because when you push the play button it automitic starts htc sense music....
[HD2 Accessories] chrism_scotland:
I've seen there are fairly comprehensive settings available for Pocket Tunes for Bluetooth Headsets so I may try it, as long as it works with HTC Music then thats ok I guess.
[HD2 Accessories] Saxtus:
I have both HBH-DS980 and MW600 but I haven't figure out how to make Conduits Pocket Player to send track info to their OLED displays.

What WM6 music player is able to do that?
[HD2 Accessories] thekingpin22uk:
Hi

I'm using the Sony DR-BT140Q

and they work great
[HD2 Accessories] xfact:
Been using it myself for just below 2 years now. Still runs perfectly.Controls work nice. Battery charge, once a week in the car. Good product.

Also works great with a motorcycle helmet. The controls are outside, nice small earpiece for comfortable fit and also works as an earplug. I also use it with my IGO navigation on the bike. You can hear clearly the directions and need not look at the display. When a call arrives, I just slow down and take the call. Only thing is that after two years of usage, I have to change the earpiece.

Other thing is that it can easily connect to the car audio in. Thus you can easily use it as a car kit, provided that you clip the unit somewhere close to your mouth like the belt.

Generally a VERY good and useful product.
[HD2 Accessories] MonnieRock:
Hello MirasHD2,

I am in the USA. Got my Sony Ericsson MW600 from http://www.mobilecityonline.com Fast Shipping,Nice People. Hope this helps.

Thank you,

Monnie
[HD2 Accessories] MirasHD2:
Thank you!
[HD2 Accessories] MonnieRock:
MirasHD2,

You are welcome.

I got mine the day they got them. I see now they have backorder status. Worth waiting for. Hint, when you get it, charge it the full 8 hrs per instructions, then turn on the FM radio and run until fully discharged(about 10.75 hrs) then fully charge 8hrs again, then fully discharge. Do this about 3 or 4 cycles.

Thank you,

Monnie
[HD2 Accessories] MirasHD2:
:D;):) Just placed the order. April 22nd seems like a long wait. Counting down the days.
[HD2 Accessories] wazaaappp:
same here, in the uk, I used play.com now just waiting :D:D
[HD2 Accessories] Saxtus:
Lithium-based batteries is a very clean system and do not need priming as nickel-based batteries do. The 1st charge is no different to the 5th or the 50th charge. Instructions to charge the battery for 8 hours or more for the first time may be a leftover from the nickel battery days.

Every deep discharge cycle of Lithium-based batteries, decreases their capacity!

General tip for Lithium batteries: To increase battery life store it at 40% of it's charge level at low temperatures (even to the refrigerator but not below 0 degrees Celsius) and never discharge it full. Charge it early and often. Excess heat can damage the battery. Also charge once a year to prevent overdischarge.
[HD2 Accessories] theciscokid:
Hey dudes...

Mobilefun have them in stock apparently. I ordered my MW600 this morning, and got an email later in the day to say it had been shipped. I shall report back with updates if you are interested :)
[HD2 Accessories] chrism_scotland:
Noticed that earlier, might order them from Mobile Fun.
[HD2 Accessories] mingkee:
Nokia BH-214 if you prefer your own earbuds.

Sony DR-BT22 + Koss SportaPro if you know how to DIY.
[HD2 Accessories] berrywr:
I'm current using the Jabra BT3030 and I carefully drilled a small hole at the top center and added a (lack of a better word) a small but strong key ring where I then use a safety pin for pinning it to my shirt and my headset is the Sennheiser PMX80 which are perfect for the gym and running and sometimes driving. The stereo audio is terrific. I can't give the microphone the same rating; it's fair at best. I'm not ready to write the BT3030 off just set since there are issues with Bluetooth and the Touch Pro 2 and custom ROMs.

To this day my all time favorite bluetooth headset was the Cardo S-2. Wow, some incredible stereo audio came out of those babies. Downside to the device...I wore these boys everywhere and used them day after day at work with then my Motorizr Z3...I mean I used the hell out of them. There is a design flaw where near your ear the frame radically does a 180 degree bend and right at that apex it can splinter or the small wires become exposed. Up until that point I got two years out of them.

Currently I'm eyeballing the Motorola S9 HD and looking for reviews. Thanks!
[HD2 Accessories] sciueps:
Thanks

Really thanks man,

mine arrived some days ago and i'm impressive for that good sound at that low cost.

Cheers
[HD2 Accessories] philosophy72:
I loved my HBH IS800 with my touch pro 2 but now i am having problems with the volume controls. I only get full volume blasting away with my HD2. I cannot decrease volume. Anyone have a fix for this?

Will definitely buy the mw600 when mobilecity gets them in stock. One way of making my bose QC headset wireless.
[HD2 Accessories] EFMax:
Still happy but I have gone one step further... I know,, its sinful but it's neat and it works and it is fine by me..
[HD2 Accessories] Archer:
I have HBH IS800 and I LOVE them! lol

Use Nitrogen as your music player and go into the equalizer (it's hidden somewhere under settings). The channel on the left is a pre-gain channel, so it is effectively volume. Just set that to a comfortable level and away you go :)
[HD2 Accessories] GavTheStoner:
I've got a Nokia bh-214 and it works nicely. all controls work for sense music player. volume controls on the unit and you can use own earphones. only problem I've found is finding somewhere to clip it on to.

Also works well for bluetooth home stereo, the hd2 sounds great after some tweaking!
[HD2 Accessories] dixie dean:
Could someone confirm that the BlueDio device works ok with the Nitrogen player, including starting again after a phone call finishes?

Thanks Dixie

Anyone try the Sennheiser MM200. I just got mine. All I can say is W-O-W, It's like sticking your head into a clean clear crisp set of speakers. Have a look at them. 9/11 hours of listening/talk time. I an VERY much in love with them.
[HD2 Accessories] bhagiratha:
I am trying to decide on either the sONY MW600 or the Plantronics Voyager 855 Stereo Bluetooth Headset. I pretty much just need a good bluetooth that has good stereo sound quality, will work on my HD2, my soon to get EVO 4G and my i7 iMac.

I need controls and the ability to answer and end calls. Great sound quality is my main feature!

Any ideas?
[HD2 Accessories] ruggerofalconi:
Give also a look to Motorola S9 bluetooth stereo headset, I use it with my HD2 and I'm able to answer calls, search music and regulate the volume.

The sound quality is pretty good. The only problem I find in this headset is its particular design which may be not ok for all people.
[HD2 Accessories] m4u1984:
available now

sony mw600 is available on amazon for the price of 48 pounds something. but still waiting to come on play.com where they are offering it for 10 pounds less...every little helps. ;)

[HD2 Accessories] EFMax:
I don't use Nitrogen anymore but I can confirm that the facility you ask for does work on the normal media player.. everything works on this unit, pause, start, vol up and down, track skip etc and provided you have the phone set to start and stop on the incoming call, this also works just fine.

Plantronics Voyager 855

I've been thrilled with my Plantronics Voyager 855, which is a small earpiece for calls (with extending boom) and then a short separate cord that plugs in with another earbud for the other ear. You can stop, start and jump forward or back on tracks (and use MS Voice Command to call up albums, artists and playlists). The model is discontinued for some reason but still available on Amazon. I've used it for 2 years and now it works great with the HD2. You can't beat the convenience and the sound is good enough. Anyway, I use various better, wired earbuds and headphones for extended listening.
[HD2 Accessories] HHarrie:
Jabra Clipper

I use this one : http://www.jabra.com/sites/Jabra/UK-UK/Headsets/Pages/Jabraclipper.aspx

works perfectly. Only but is... only good for about 6 hrs, then need to recharge. But recharge only takes about 2 hrs to full charge so, it's good enough 4 me.

I bought today an MSI Starkey 3.0 BT adapter. Installed, but I cant pairing the pc with my SE mw600. What is the problem? Wrong BT adapter? Maybe software? Any ideas? :s
[HD2 Accessories] -BA-:
I like the look of this one HHarrie. Do you get full control of you HD2? Volume, track playback and calls? Is the mic built into the unit or into the wire of the IEMs? Would love to know what the sound quality is like too please, in both music and calls. Thanks :)
[HD2 Accessories] thesweeney:
Anyone looking for a headset on a budget might want to check out the altec lasnsing t515.

Its a bluetooth stereo speaker + Headset etc. and its cheap.

Ordered mine yesterday off ebay and it arrived today... but the headset /wireless adapter is faulty and not discoverable so needs replacing. Cant wait to try it out properly.

I bought it mainly for wireless music through the speakers but also for wireless earphones AND to turn my 200W amp into a 200W bluetooth amp lol. Cant beat the t515 when it comes to value and usefulness.

Reliability and quality control could be another thing altogether though.

Anyone else using this unit?
[HD2 Accessories] HHarrie:
Yes, volume up/down ok, next/previous track ok, answer/hang up calls ok!!

Mic is on the clipper itself, good quality with calls and very good quality (to me) with music (i have all MP3's on 320 kbps though). Nice deep bass but not overwhelming, and good clear treble but not too sharp.

Only but is like i said, it's for about 6 hrs playback, which is more than enough 4 me, AND... it doesn't work with FM Radio and Audiobooster because it's Bluetooth!!

I must try it some day with some other cable with jack to get the radio working and then send the signal over bluetooth to the clipper....???
[HD2 Accessories] rvnteck:
For me the best bluetooth stereo headset right now is still the Plantronics Pulsar 590, nothing else compares to its stability in connectivity, voice clarity in calls, battery life and fullness of its sound to music. I have tried alot of 1 piece stereo BT headsets and almost settled for the Motorola S9 HD , nice design and somehow nice sound for music but it has connectivity stability issues specially in cold weather. Its unusable, so not even a year of using it I replaced it for a Plantronics Backbeat 903 but this one is even worst than the S9 HD because of its weak bluetooth signal so music is continiously cuts off. I guess the smaller the bluetooth stereo headset is, the smaller the BT module you'll get which will make it unstable. I got my Plantronics 590a last 2006 and I just revived it from my glass case cabinet yesterday, guess what it still has the charge and nothing change. Still rock solid and dependable for its wirelessness.

Those seem ok but there slightly ugly, i recently got the jaybird sb1's and wow man these things are nice, they look stylish and they have nice bass
[HD2 Accessories] Corsa2:
Hi All.

I have a Plantronics P590 connected to a HD2 via bluetooth.

It works perfect.

Sound control from either the headset or the phone works as well as all the other buttons.

It do also work with the CoPilot in the same fashion.

I am very satisfied with this headset.

I have been looking for a good sport bt headset. I have ony found these: http://www.jaybirdgear.com/jb200/ (that look nice and cool :)). The reviews i read are OK, but are there any of you that have tried these?
[HD2 Accessories] ar2rc:
if anyone knows a way to redirect the signal from FM radio on the BT headset. (Of course I know that the headphone cable acts as antenna)
[HD2 Accessories] Bounceback:
I've the SONY ERICSSON MW600 and they work well with the HD2. The earphones are fairly rubbish so replaced these though
