Sony DS980

---

Hi,

I am planning to get the Sony DS980 to pair with the Kaiser.

I understand that there are some issues with the volume on some BT headsets paired with the Kaiser. Is this an issue with the Sony DS980?

Secondly, someone on cingular or howard forums suggested that the volume improved when they changed their phone's band from Auto to GSM (under phone settings), suggesting that there might be some interference from the 3G stack. Anyone else noticed this?

thanks very much, MN

I picked up, just yesterday, a DS-970. Volume is fine, but I use phoneAlarm to control my profiles and it has an option to boost the volume.

I'm using DS-970 and volume is just fine without using any sound volume boosting software. I think it even louder than on my previous Hermes.

I use DS980 with my Kaiser (HTC TyTN II) with no problem whatsoever. It seems to pair better with Kaiser than Hermes.

It is able to read incoming call as well as call history from Kaiser without the need to install the Jetware HF extension (which is required for Hermes).

Voice dialing with the build in cyberon software also works great.

Regarding the volume, it is as loud as it is supposed to be. In fact, when set to max, it is too loud for me. I need to reduce the headset volume to make it comfortable.

All devices paired to this Headset will have their BT names shown on the LCD. Thus you can easily check how many devices have been paired with it. Moreover, you can easily switch the connection to the device of your choice. You don't have this feature in the DS970 model.

anyone able to make the DS980 phonebook feature work with Kaiser?

I bought one of these yesterday and sound quality is really good, it can control the HTC music plugin great but you do not get the the song/track name info on the display.

I installed the Jetware software to see what this added and the time from my Kaiser is now displayed on the DS980 display but still cannot access the phonebook

HA! I can't believe my eyes but after like 3 weeks having DS980s' i'we been trying to get the phonebook working with my elf having no succes. And now, i switch my Touch on after a trip through public transport and lol - theres a dialog window asking, if i want to allow access to my phonebook contacts, i press yes, pull out my handsfree and there's complete alfabetical list with all contacts in my phone. And i have no f*ckin idea, how the hell it did itself i tried like everything before and it starts working on it's own OMG anyway, i'm happy
