Best adapter for a Motorola HS-850 bluetooth headset

Hello,
I just purcahsed a Motorola HS-850 Bluetooth headset for my cell phone, and wanted to use it to make skype calls aswell. What are my choices for a USB bluetooth adapter (dongle)??? I would prefer something that isn't the D-link (far to expensive) but works just as well. Im not really sure what to go for?

The D-Link DBT-120 is the only adapter officially supported by Apple, with firmware updates etc. So if you want to guarantee the best compatibility with your Mac, that's the one to get. Try eBay if you want to save some cash.
Buying a cheaper one may be a false economy, because if you do have problems, you'll end up having to buy another one anyway.

  • How do I get my Motorola S10-HD bluetooth headset to work with the iPhone5?

    My excellent Motorola S10-HD bluetooth headset worked fine with my 4S but I can't get it to even be recognized by my new iPhone5...does anyone have a solution to this problem?

    Try resetting the sd10-hd .  That solved my problem. I was able to pair with my iPhone 5.
    Follow this link to instruction to reset the s10-hd, https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/answers/prod_answer_detail/a_id/ 59350/p/1422,2690,7709
    Essentially hold down the + and 0 (power button) until the LED turns blue. Then power off the headset and power on.  Put the iPhone in discoverable mode and they should now sync.

  • Skype for Android can't use Bluetooth headset in a...

    When i've unchecked the "Call audio" checkbox in my bluetooth headset settings of my android device (Samsung Galaxy Note 2) and left "on" only the "Media audio" checkbox, then skype uses my bt headset only untill my call has been answered. After call recipient has been answered my call, skype starts using my phone speaker.
    It's a shame, that i can't use my stereo bluetooth headset (in a2dp mode) in pair with my phone's microphone.
    Does somebody have a workaround for this problem?
    Thansk for your attention.

    According to the A2DP, where P stands for that states that the BT microphone is to be used.
    You (and Skype) should study the profile, since this allow e.g. contacts and a pile of other things to be shared say with your car´s Bluetooth. For audio, the phone can use the Bluetooth for Audio (stereo or mono) and microphone (usually mono, but stereo is upported).
    Bluetooth is pretty advanced protocol, that even cover the power of the radio, so you batteries both on the headset and on the phone will last longer if you keep them close. The profile supported indicates the device category - laptop computer, mobile phone etc. The number will usually refer to the version of Bluetooth, here 2, while headset now are in version 4. There are a lot of confusion about this, and a number of applications on the Playstore is just at the best utter nonsense, but can also cause damage. Many of the problems posted here may be related to installation of faulty "apps". Your phone should in newer versions of Android support A2DP as they come. 

  • What is the best adapter for connecting multiple monitors via Thunderbolt?

    Currently using two 24" Dell monitors (one T-bolt, one via usb adapter), but have consistently poor performance with USB video adapters.  I'm looking to replace one monitor with a 32" LED display via hdmi and would like to move to dual 32's in the future.  Recommendations?

  • Motorola HT820 Stereo Bluetooth Headset

    I seems unable to connect successfully the HT820 to my iBook G4.
    I'm able to hear mono sound with alot of static noise.
    Are there any way for me to connect successfull to this HT820?
    Note:
    My bluetooth software/firmware is version 1.6.2.
    Any Help rendered is greatly appreciated.

    As far as I know you can't. Like me you will have to wait until Apple releases an update to its Bluetooth stack unless a third party produces the goods. This is one area where the Windows world is ahead. It probably not only needs the additions to the protocol stack but some support may be required in the firmware of the Bluetooth controller as well.

  • Anyone know how to fix Bluetooth headset not working properly after iOS 8 update?

    I have an iPhone 5S and I use a Plantronics PLT M20 model bluetooth headset. I am no longer able to answer calls by pressing the button on the headset, since updating to iOS 8. I also also cannot end calls by pressing the button on the headset. This only happened after iOS 8. The Apple Care rep stated that "this is most likely a problem with the bluetooth manufacturer and they need to update their firmware, so now it's just a waiting game until they do that". Is that correct? Anyone encountering this?
    Related information....
    Hi - I'm a student with disabilities and rely heavily on accessibility features that make my life easier. For example, I use a Bluetooth headset to trying answer phone calls and use Siri… I especially use the "Raise to speak" option for accessing Siri. Since updating my iPhone five us and my iPad air, I've been scrambling to access the "raise to speak" option for Siri without success. When I called AppleCare, the representative stated I should have that option to enable in my settings. When I explained to her that the option is not showing, she wanted me to reset my phone to factory settings. When I told her I googled the issue and found that it may have been removed in iOS 8… She put me on hold, Came back and told me I was right.
    What's worse is that that my Bluetooth headset is no longer working with my iPhone 5S. She stated that it may being I needed adjustment from the manufacturer of the headset– Plantronics. All I know is that the apple care representatives seem confused and I am extremely disappointed in this really impacts my use of Siri and my phone.
    When I asked her to submit feedback to her supervisor or the powers that be… I was simply asked to submit feedback to the Apple.com website. While I understand Apple might read that feedback, I also recognize that they don't reply and I don't feel that is great support to someone like me who has a disability and needs a solution. The"Hey Siri" option is not working for me.
    Does anyone have any workarounds for the "Raise to speak" problem or the Bluetooth problem? Specifically, the Bluetooth issue is when I try to hit the button on my Bluetooth headset to answer a call or end the call. It's a Plantronics PLT M20 model.

    Follow-up to my earlier post that iPhone 6 Bluetooth not working correctly.  I purchased a Jawbone MiniJambox to use as a speaker phone in my office.  Everyone in our company thinks they are the best.  However, it is experiencing the same issues as with all my other Bluetooth headsets.  Everything works except cannot answer or hang up calls pushing the buttons on the Bluetooth devices.  The Bluetooth patio speakers in our courtyard also have the same issue.  However, my colleagues using iPhone 5 and 5s who did not update to iOS8 are using all Bluetooth devices without any issues.  Apple says it is a problem with my Bluetooth device.  Come on Apple.... This makes 7 different Bluetooth devices with different manufacturers.  You cannot possibly believe the problem is with the Bluetooth devices when iOS7 works perfectly fine...
    On another issue, my iPhone 5s worked perfectly fine in my vehicle entertainment center connected via USB.  The vehicle entertainment center had complete control of my iPhone and iTunes.  However, now I plug in my new iPhone 6 and it no longer communicates with my vehicle entertainment center.  Again when I called Apple, they said my vehicle entertainment center needed a firmware update.  Are you kidding me...  That is a bunch of BS...!!!

  • HT204368 My A2DP enabled Bluetooth headset does NOT play music. How can I fix this?

    I used to listen to music on my Motorola H-17 bluetooth headset. After the headset broke I bought a new one, specifically a Motorola H-17txt bluetooth headset.
    It pairs with my phone, and works fine with phonecalls, but when I play music it only plays out of the phone itself, not the headset. When I open up the audio output options in the music app, there is no option for the headset. When I open up audio output options in voicemail, the bluetooth headset option is right there.
    I made sure this was an A2DP enabled bluetooth headset before I bought it.
    What could the problem be? How might I fix it?

    it could be broken
    I would test it with another device which supported a2dp most computers bluetooth (if they have bluetooth most laptops does)
    other phones also
    if it works with nothing then it's broken or does not support a2dp correctly
    if it works with everything else then it's just strangely incompatible with your iphone

  • Can't get Dlink DBT-122 to work with Bluetooth headset

    Failed to setup the headset. Headsets are not supported on your Bluetooth hardware.

  • Your best recommend for a wireless headset/bluetooth for Skype

    Anyone found something that delivers?
    Thanks

    The Motorola HT820 works great. It is one of my all-time best purchases. http://direct.motorola.com/ens/BTStereoHSWebProductHome.asp?country=USA&language=ENS
    It works with my MB Pro, in Skype. It works with my iPod, using the iMuffs Bluetooth transceiver, from Wi-Gear. Naturally, it works with my Motorola phone. It also comes with a cable for use as a wired headset, so it works on the airplane, in place of the cheesy headphones that the airlines provide. That cable also allows you to use the headset as a wired headset for the Mac, while on the airplane. However, the cable option is only for headphones, so the mic does not work with the wired connection.
    You start by setting up a new Bluetooth headset, from your Bluetooth preferences panel and add it to your favorites. You only have to do this once. Note: You do NOT have to select the HT820 as your system sound device. You only need to do that in Skype.
    To use it in Skype, you make sure that the headset is off. Then, hold the power button (left side) down for about 8 seconds (till the blue light starts pulsing) to put it into "find-me" mode. Then, in the Skype preferences panel, select the HT820 for both the input and output. In a moment, you will be prompted for the security code. Type "0000" and hit "Return". You will hear a tone in the headset and the blue light stops pulsing. You are connected.
    To save battery on the headset, it is a good idea to go back and select the default input and output, when you are through using the headset.
    When you want to go back to using the HT820 on your cell phone, you will probably have to tell your cell phone to re-connect to the HT820. For me, this step requires only that the HT820 is turned on.
    Motorola now makes a much smaller version of this headset, as well. I have seen it, but I have not tried it out. The model is MOTOROKR S9. I have seen it at the Cingular/AT&T store and at Radio Shack. As I understand, the only difference is that it uses "bud" style speakers on the headset, instead of over-the-ear speakers and the Bluetooth electronics and battery are integrated in the headband, behind the neck, instead of in the speaker housings.
    I highly recommend the Motorola HT820. If you have an iPod with a dock connector, then I also recommend the iMuffs Bluetooth transceiver (MA110 - http://www.wi-gear.com/products/imuffs/ma110.php), to pair with the HT820, so you can go totally wireless. It is much smaller than the transceiver from Ten Technology. However, the Wi-Gear headset had problems and I had to return them.
    Good luck.

  • What is the best bluetooth headset for iPhone 5?

    What is the best Bluetooth headset for iPhone 5 for talking no music?

    I've tried all the majors:  Bose (1 model twice), Motorola (2 models), Jawbone (5 models) in almost every model.
    Bose is good but such an odd nub just sitting there on your ear - bad athestics.  Device is fine but not right for me.
    Motorola seem to have troublie with iPhone specifically.   They don't stay paired and noise-cancelling has been bad.  I tried 3 pairs of the Elite Silver with no luck.  Great concept to have a case that charges the device but bad device.  Same issue with the Oasis. 
    Jawbones are good and I've had 5 of them.   They seem to degrade in voice cancelling quality over time based on feedback of people I talk to but they are solid.   I'm sure I just beat them up but they do seem to go bad. 
    My best experience have been BLUEANT, both the Q2 (bought 2) and teh Q3 (own 1).   Q2 are solid but they have this issue with a metal screen that inevitable breaks off, not affecting call quality but a pain.   Q3 have fixed that but they are just a bit bulkier.   Good features (voice answer & address book) and solid.  These are just awesome and good instant on that simply isn't true of all of the devices.  Only downside has been no battery meter on the Q2 for the iphone but a solid workhorse. 
    I just got a new Motorola Whisper and so far I'm impressed.   First motorola that has solid noise reduction and doesn't seem to have the random unpairing issue with the iphone.   It's early yet but great design and comes with a case. 
    I hope this helps.
