Best Bluetooth a2dp adapter and Headset....

I'm after best combination for Music. Im looking at the Sony TMR-BT8iP for the adapter. And for the headset the Motorola S9 headset.
But I'd like to know a few things from the experienced user's of these products
Whats the adapter like?
Any good with the S9?
What's the battery life on the S9 headset?
Any serious problems with these devices?
And finally are there any better Combo's out there for Music?
Cheers

I just posted on a different message about this (http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1677530&tstart=0), so I am just copying it here...
I recently bought the Sony "TMR-BT8IP" wireless transmitter for iPod (http://www.sonystyle.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?catalogId=1055 1&storeId=10151&langId=-1&productId=8198552921665274447), and I can tell you it works great on my iPhone 3G, I use it to listen music meanwhile at the gym on its full stereo glory. It is so good not to be attached by the wires to listen music and exercise at the same time. And stops the music if there is a incoming call, though I think this maybe a iPhone feature rather than the adapter.
BTW. I use a Sony- Ericsson Bluetooth stereo headset HBH-DS205 (http://www.sonyericsson.com/cws/products/accessories/seetheaccessory/hbh-ds205?c c=us&lc=en) which works good as well for calls. I have experienced no distortion or static as I read in the forums other headsets do. And the great of this headset is that I can use any standard stereo headset I want. The downside is that it does not support multipoint (connect with multiple devices) so I have to un-pair it from the BT8IP and pair it with my iPhone 3g, if I want to use for calls.

    You can only add songs to your iOS device from iTunes via Wi-Fi sync or via your cable, not Bluetooth.

    That's an entirely different issue, unrelated to your iOS devices.

  • Bluetooth Adapter and Headphones Woes!! It was Better on OS 2.2.1

    I am hoping someone can help me with my bluetooth scenario. I connect my iPhone to the car stereo via its headphone jack and also to my Jabra SP700 bluetooth device. I cruise listening to the iPod feature of my iPhone and when a call comes in, the music stops and the bluetooth kicks in for the call. I get sound and microphone through the bluetooth. When I hang up, the bluetooth stops emitting sound and the iPod resumes music play over headphones and I am HAPPY!
    With the OS 3.0, that appears to have gone away -- my happiness that is! I have found at least 2 undesirable features:
    1. When I receive a phone call bluetooth kicks in and I can talk fine. However, when I hang up, the music doesn't resume anymore. I have to unlock the phone and hit play again (or double 'home' click) -- BUT now the music plays over my bluetooth headset instead of the headphones like it was before the call. I then have to fiddle with it to return it to 'headphones'. This seems less user friendly than it was before OS 3.0.
    2. If I try to make a call while music is playing, it tries to handle the call via the headphones, but nothing comes out. The bluetooth does not kick in and I can't hear anything. I again have to change the audio option manually once it actually starts ringing. When the call is over and I hit play on the iPod again (yes it does not resume playing like it used to), it starts playing music over the bluetooth adapter -- Again, not what I want.
    I have looked at the settings and I can't find anything to help me out here. I would like an option that lets me state what output to play iPod out of and what channel to interact the phone over. That way I could always have music from headphones and telephony via bluetooth.
    I realize that stereo bluetooth is a cool new feature, but I would just like the option of it working like it did under OS 2.2.1.
    Anyone have any suggestions? Can I easily revert to the old OS?
    Thanks,

    I'm having a similar issue - only iPhone is connected directly into my iPod-enabled car stereo (through a USB connection to back of stereo/standard iPhone connector cable into iPhone; installed by 3rd party vendor.)
    If I'm listening to iPhone music through speakers (whether from a playlist/iPod selection, streaming Pandora, etc.) and turn on Jabra SP700 device, music is diverted to play through the Jabra speaker instead. This means I can only have the Jabra on when I know I'm going to make a call (I'll temporarily switch car stereo to radio, which doesn't conflict), but it also means I can't use it to intercept incoming calls without taking eyes off of the road, ugh.
    I'm going to try to re-pair the devices later this afternoon - have already deleted my existing JabraSP700 profile on the iPhone - & will try re-pairing the devices later this afternoon. But are there other configuration changes I need to make to either the iPhone or the Jabra if that doesn't work?

  • 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.

  • Bluetooth Dongles and Headsets

    I've got a Bluetooth headset which pairs fine with my Powerbook with built-in Bluetooth, but I need to get a dongle that with work with my iBook G4 for Skype.
    I'd like to hear from people what dongles they are using successfully with headsets. I know that the D-link DBT-120 is recommended by Apple, however, when I called D-link Support, they insisted that headsets were NOT supported by it.
    I'm obviously not having much luck getting consistent info, so I'd appreciate only personal experience, not heresay, on which dongles have worked properly with headsets.
    Many thanks,

    Use that little search box at the upper right…
    Using a headset needs several steps even needed if you have the latest computer or Mac OS X release. Please make sure to follow them in order.
    Download the Apple Bluetooth Firmware Updater
    Install it
    Launch it from Applications > Utilities > Bluetooth Updater
    Apply it to your adapter (takes very long).
    Start the Apple Bluetooth Assistant and select Headset. Do not use anything else!
    Make your headset Bluetooth visible. Look up the manual of your headset how to do that.
    Now select the headset in System Preferences > Sound.
    In most cases step 3 is missed. You have to start the already installed updater yourself (do not ask me why). Step 4 fails if your Bluetooth USB adapter is not supported by Apple and you have to go for a D-Link DBT-120 USB adapter.

  • Bluetooth and Headsets

    I am trying to setup my Motorola HT820 headset on my Mac Pro. I am using a BT adapter that is 2.0 compatible. I can go to the pairing section of the BT setup in OS X Preferences and I can see the device but it says that headsets are not supported on my hardware. ideas?

    i should also mention that if i try to do the 1.5 bluetooth update that supports headsets, it says that my software is current and will not install.

    Hi Auracles1,
    Here's a pretty discussion regarding wireless printing with this device and a Mac.

    I have a similar OfficeJet and it was a multi-step process. (1) Install printer drivers on the machine, (2) Add the printer queue in print & fax, (3) Run the "setup wizard" from the disc for wireless printing.

  • A few questions about bluetooth technology and headsets...

    Alright I am new to bluetooth technology and headsets, and want to do the proper research before I buy one.
    1)I have seen some have 1.2 and 2.0 technology, so what is the difference and should I only look for one that offers 2.0?
    2)Do they all offer a vibrating alert?
    2b)Or just those really big kinds that look like hearing aides that have that little box behind your ear?...
    http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&item=2002 46049729
    3) Do they all have a multi-function button, 3way, mute, volume etc?
    3b) Or are some just a single button that only answers and hangs up?
    4) Do any of these charge via bluetooth?
    5) I've seen some bluetooths have a micro sd chip in them... what is the point of this? Can they be used like a usb storage device?
    6) Can you buy those usb to mini-usb adapters for charging and data transfer (not sure what kind of data you would transfer to a headset) separate from having to buy a combo kit that comes with it?

    You might try Google and look for answers, these are pretty comprehensive questions regarding a broad sweep of headsets. You might get answers on a few models, or just Apple's, here.
    If you click on each of the models in the link I gave you it goes into more detail about each one.

  • Best EAX Effects with SB Audigy 2 ZS and Headset?

    Best EAX Effects with SB Audigy 2 ZS and Headset?Hi,
    I have reinstalled Windows XP SP3 lately and installed just the Audigy_SupportPack_3_8 as driver for my Audigy2 ZS. I have a Sennheiser PC50 headset.
    Now I can't get EAX to work.
    The EAX setting in game is enabled and it sounds different than without it but I can only distinguish left from right but not top from bottom and front from rear.
    Am I lacking any driver component?
    How do I setup the audio device in Windows? Headphones or 4 speakers?
    Do I need CMSS 3D? CMSS or CMSS2? Even if the game supports EAX?
    What about optimize 3D-Effects for headsets? I use a headset, so I should enable it's
    And also I can't find the suround mixer, is this not included in this support pack?
    I mean this one:
    Best Regards
    sanni

    Re: SB Audigy 2 ZS and Windows 7 - Full Package driver?T While Creative has written new drivers and some applications for Windows 7/Vista for the Audigy, they have not re-written or updated all of the original applications on the CD. This card is very old now. What Daniel K. did was take all of the applications or most of them, and tweaked them to properly install and include themselves in the registry on operating systems other than Windows XP. For the full and most recent package, check here:
    http://forums.creative.com/t5/Sound-...009/td-p/53838
    If the application you want is not included in his package, then you can try downloading the official Creative version and install it on your system in "compatibility mode" by right clicking the file, and choosing properties, and then the compatibility tab and choosing "Windows XP service pack 2 or 3" and it may or may not function.

    Thanks

    I've heard that there are some Ipod adapters out that will work with this trick but it would be nice if anyone knew a way to make this adapter work. I think it is a popular trick since the adapter from oakley that does work is now on back order.

  • Using Bluetooth and Headset Together

    I can't get the bluetooth in my car to work with the 8320 when there is also a headset plugged into the phone.  When I get a call it will go through the headset instead of the bluetooth.  Is there any way to make the call go through the bluetooth instead of the headset?

    Only happens for incoming calls.  Outgoing calls work as expected: through the bluetooth.
