X1 with HBH-DS980 / HBH-DS970

---

have anyone tried X1 with HBH-DS980 or HBH-DS970?

can you see the sound track titles on the headset display ?

regards

I will try on Tue w/980

Hi,

I own the HBH-DS970. Everything you're asking for is working, but only with the Windows Media Player, not with the Media Pannel itself.

I own it already a long time, so it's quite ok, but i wouldn't buy it specialy for the X1, it's realy not working too good.

Cheers

980 works fine with the X1 but I don't get song titles on the headset. Everything else seems fine.

I have the DS980 and have only tried it with the Media Panel so far. It only seems to work as a Headset only, and no AVRCP functions (no track info, no remote control). The audio quality is pretty good.

I will try it out with the Windows Media Player later after work and see if any difference.

Edit - no joy. Whether in the Media Panel or Windows media player, I only get Wireless Headset service. No A2DP, no AVRCP. This is quite bad. These services where all working perfectly in my SE P1i.

You probably missing something. I tried Sony DS-205, DS980 and JVC BT-1. Both A2DP and AVRCP work on Coreplayer ( I believe WMP too).

As sevans21 points out, song title w/ 980 is not working on x1

Yes, I can confirm now that Windows Media Player has A2DP and AVRCP (except track info). Media Panel has A2DP only. My DS980 has been working fine thus far.

I was intending to start this discussion amongst you guys as well --- I have the HBH-DS980 and have been frustrated regarding my experience using the X1 with it.

Coming from a SE K850i, the HBH-DS980 obviously had all features enabled, including remote control, track title display, and clock. Now, that OLED display is basically useless!

AVRCP does work in Windows Media Player.
AVRCP does NOT work in the Media Panel --- Is this fixable? Can any of you awesome devs work this kink out?
The track title display not working is a huge let-down. I was worried about this while X1 was in development, thinking it would be overlooked. When we heard the X1 would use SE's bluetooth stack I figured maybe itll work, but sure enough -- no dice.

I hope that SE will fix this in their next firmware update, or at least Media Xperiance Panel 2.0.

I heard that there is supposed to be a firmware update due by end Nov 2008, but no confirmation on this.

Does Sony Ericsson have any way to report a defect to their support so that it might be passed onto the development team? Probably not, but it might be nice if they miss this bug...
