Bluetooth receiver for audio

---

can anyone recommend a bluetooth receiver that works well with this phone?

I am looking for something I can plug my own headphones into... has its own mic... and controls that will work to skip tracks when listening to music.

A friend recommended me this

which is about 2 years old now... just wondering if anyone else uses anything else?


or even a wired one that controls the music and has a mic, but lets you use your own headphones.

Thanks

Hi

I have a set of Motorola S9 Bluetooth headphones, which also has a built in mic and music control keys. I was getting backgroud hiss issues with my Vario II, but I can confirm that these headphones work flawlessly with my Touch Dual.

hmmm was hoping for something i could use my own earphones with...

thanks though

The S9s are good and sound quality (at least on my old N73) was absolutely fantastic.

However, I couldn't recommend the Motos to anyone. I've had 3 of them, and they've all failed with exactly the same problem - all the controls have failed. They're supposed to be waterproof, and having used them down the gym whilst running, they couldn't cope with a small amount of sweat.

You could go for :

Sony Ericsson HBH-DS220

I ordered a Sony Ericsson HBH-DS220 from Ebay about a month ago and paid 60 USD - works really well for music, has full controls including call functions - even pauses music when you have an incoming call and you get to use your own headphones if you prefer - which is why I chose this set?

Here's the link - hope this helps?

just received my Sony Ericsson HBH-DS200 today...

I have to say I am disappointed.

In the description on the mobilefun website I think it said music browsing... I was expecting to be able to twist the thing (like on my old md players, etc) to be able to skip forward or backward.

I was also expecting a volume control, but there is none.

Other things that bug me...

- when phone is on standby mode, when you press play on the ds200 the phone turns on. I am not sure if this is because of my ROM (t-mobile uk) or because of the ds200. A mate of mine back in oz has the touch dual with the motorola mentioned above, and the screen doesnt switch on. Pretty annoying.

- when someone rings me... I thought that I would just hear the ring in my earphones... but my phone rings.

- when listening to music... it seems to cut out momentarily (half a sec) every once in a while. Not sure if most bluetooth audio things do this, since this is my first one.


On the positive side of things... when listening to music and you decide to call someone... it switches automatically and the mic seems to work alright with the earphones. But I guess this is something that I expect anyway.

Also it is a good size.

any one had try or tested this new logitec LBT-HP210C2BK??

I'm generally disappointed with the music playback on the Dual, either with the supplied headphones, or with my Jabra BT620s.

Pressing play on the Jabras doesn't always make the Dual start playing. Sometimes pressing play on the Dual, playback commences through the phone instead.

The momentary pause in the music seems to be a "feature" of the Dual though It does it both via wired and A2DP headsets.

Also, see what happens with incoming calls when you've got the bluetooth headset connected. Mine routes incoming calls through the phone, not the headphones.

And for those considering the S9HD - consider the price difference, and look at installing the SRS WOW HD software onto the Dual - probably does a similar job.

I have a DS220 and am generally satisfied with the sound quality for music playback but I do have one (rather major) problem: after phone calls (both incoming and outgoing) the phone drops the connection to my headset and I have to switch the headset off and then back on to reconnect. This is really irritating!
