Looking for a good a2dp heatset with 3.5mm audio jack for customiSed earphone

[pim]

Hello,

Almost everything is in the title :)
I'm looking for a as2p headset to use with my TyTN. I need a small transmitter with a 3.5 mm audio jack for using with a customised earphone.
I was about so buy the HTC BH-S100 but I've seen in many forums that the volume is too slow with it ! And as I'm planning to use it in my car too, I need a sound volume high enough.
Maybe someone knows another transmitter ?
What about i-Tech ClipR35

Thanks for your help in advance

Look at a Motorola S705 by chance?

Try the Tritton Bluestream AX, it's a bit expensive but it was worth it. I love the OLED screen since i dont have to take my phone out to see whose calling. the sounds pretty good too and u can upgrade it's firmware too

[crss]

Tritton Bluestream AX from ebay 49.99 us, free shipping. Ill test this out, since its cheap enough. Thanks for the heads up.

After using this device, 1 month straight.. It stays in my pocket 11 hrs at work. Streaming audio, works like a champ.

Thanks for the suggestion

hi.... am looking for a good a2dp headset too..

criteria - OLED display showing the name of the caller, and good quality sound!!! Both are extremely important..

3 choices - Motorola S705; Sony HBH-DS980; and the Jabra BT8010. Any opinion on these products?

I've got the Motorola S705. The sound quality is good (with original earphones), the battery is quite good (2hrs charging for 6-8hrs of music), it also got FM radio. The detection of the device is fast and easy to do. The OLED screen is quite readable in sunny days... But navigating in the device's options is a little bit laggy.

For me it's a good headset. Now it's time for you to make a choice :D

The only issue I have had with the S705 is that sometimes when you try to asnwer the phone the S705 goes offline and requires the unit to be powered off and on again.

I haven't been able to re-create the problem.

I also notice the lag, but it isn't that big of a deal-I've been having more issues with the various media players in their time to switch tracks when shuffle playing my library (2,000+ songs, AAC-HE encoded).

I never had the "answering" problem on my S705... Am I lucky ? :P But it's true that the lag is not very big.

It's a good device but not well known as Plantronics' headset.

ok.. am close to liking the S705. Have 2 questions...

1) Does it actually have a 100 metres range as mentioned on their website? http://direct.motorola.com/ens/s705/Headset_Fullspecs.asp

2) Does it have noise cancellation?

Thanks and much appreciated!

(1) Yes, being a Class 1 device it does have a large range, but it's dependent on the other device its connected to. In other words, you're stuck with longest distance of the shortest device in the chain. Since most of the phones out there are Class 2 devices (10 m), you're going to be limited by the class 2 device range. And for all practical purposes, the usable range is usually about 30 to 50% of its advertised range.

(2) I do not believe it has noise cancellation, but I haven't had any issues with noise being a problem.

I am simply in love with my Plantronics 590's.

1. No one ask me if I'm on a headset during a phone call and the clarity is top notch.

2. The music is clear, crisp. I have no problem connecting to my 8125 or the Nokia 5300 I have.

3. If you get the more expensive A package (instead of the E package) or buy it aftermarket, it comes with an adapter that goes into any 3.5mm headset (plasma tv, computers, etc....) allowing you to connect and listen to that device in stereo. I've been at least 35 meters away and had a clear audio signal with no signal or quality loss. Movies, videos and regular tv sound awesome. Also if the device you are connecting with has equalizer settings the headset sound does as told.

4. I've had other Plantronic devices before ( a usb headset with dsp for gaming). This device was destroyed by my son and when I sent it in for repair the warranty was honored and a new set was sent to me although the product is out of production! That goes far with me when a company actually stands behind it's product.

5. They look good to me.

I hope you enjoy whatever headset you get.

I've had an i-Tech ClipR35 for a year or so now and I'd recommend people stay away from it. I don't use it for calls, just to listen to music while at the gym or doing other physically intensive things when I don't want my Hermes in my pocket. It actually left it at one machine and got half way across the gym before the music started to drop out, at least 50 meters if not 75m.

However it's buggy. Sometimes while running on a treadmill I'll hit the "skip-forward" button to skip to the next track and it will inexplicably turn off, switching all music to the Hermes' quite loud speaker. Bad time to be listening to Eddie Murphy's "Party all the Time". It doesn't want to connect to the phone; I have to soft-reset, then "set as wireless stereo" in comm manager for it to connect every time I power it on.

The volume is also a little on the weak side for me. I want to the max volume to be ear splitting so when I'm biking along a busy road I can overpower the road noise. I have good Sennheiser ear buds that can seal out alot of noise but I always have the clip at 90-95% of the volume under normal conditions.

I want to replace it but it wasn't until recently that there were many other options, and they're all still on the expensive side for replacing something that is operational if buggy.

hey wazmo, just to update u... i finally purchased the sony DS980.... and did not go for the Moto!

When i put 2 and 2 together.... i simply ended up liking the Sony piece....

I also use a Plantronics 590 and it is really good. Bass sounds good on it, it has a telescoping mic and the controls are easy to use on the side. The only gripe I have about it is the flashing blue ring. It flashes blue every 3s when it is paired to a device, it's fairly bright and would be annoying had I not wrapped it in electrical tape.

They are fairly comfortable, however after a couple of hours they start to hurt my due to the thin padding. Battery life is really good,

The next pair I will be purchasing will be Motorola S805.

Jabra BT320s, works really well....pair of sony earphones to go with....nice.
