Best Bluetooth Headset

And why?
I would like to hear from those of you actually using a bluetooth headset with an iMac for iChat audio.
Peace-
DaddyP

The best headset appears to be the Sony-Ericsson HB 610.
It is one of the few headsets that is Bluetooth 2.0 compatible, which is the Bluetooth standard that Apple is now using.
You get a clearer digital signal and a much longer battery life.

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.

What are the best bluetooth headsets for running?

With the new 3.0 software update, I want stereo bluetooth headsets to go running with. Any ideas on what the best brands are?

I have the s9 as well and have discovered that the Bluetooth reception is not as good outdoors as in. When I run at the gym I don't have any dropouts at all. Outside, I need to hold the iPhone closer to the headset to prevent dropouts. Perhaps an armband is better than a pocket for this.

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.

No sound on Youtube with my bluetooth headset

Hello world !
I've have a curious problem with Youtube.
When i go on youtube with my bluetooth headset on my head, the sound of the videos is not in my headset but in the speakers of my PC
But i have no problem with other sites like Jamendo for example. Have you got an idea ? xD (Oh and my web Browser is Firefox )
Thank you for reading this post.

Hi there!.
I'm just curious: Have you tried the minitube client (you can install it through the official repos). See if you get output there when trying to see a video.
That is the best bet I think you have in terms of the software you use to see flash content. You could also try the google-chrome package of the AUR and check how does that browser react to the BT headset (there are differences between the flash plugin of Firefox and Google's).
I hope this helps you in some way while someone smarter than me sorts out your issue.
Best of Luck

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?

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...!!!

Callers Can't Hear Me on Multiple Bluetooth Headsets

After getting tired of having my corded headphones ripped out of my ears when they get snagged on doorknobs I broke down and bought a wireless Bluetooth headphones (a Samsung Circle).
I was able to pair it with no issue.
I could hear music fine.
I could stream Sirius XM.
I could voice-to-text with no issue.
I could voice-to-text (email) with no issue.
I could voice-to-text (Facebook Messenger) with no issue.
I could talk to Siri with no issue.
However, when I was trying to talk on the phone, the person on the other side could NOT hear me, but I could hear them.
I dismissed this as a faulty headphones and returned it to Best Buy. I got a different one, a different brand and everything. Got the exact same result.
This is ridiculous. So I tried my Plantronics bluetooth headset which worked in the past. Now THAT ONE isn't working. I can hear callers, but they can't hear me. So that's three different Bluetooth headsets.
My earbuds work fine.
My speakerphone works fine.
The standard iPhone handset works fine.
The problem is isolated to Bluetooth headsets (single ear and double), while using the phone... people just can't hear me. I tried muting/unmuting and that didn't work either. I can click back and forth between the speaker and iPhone and they work fine, but I switch to the Bluetooth and nothing. No one can hear me.
I have an iPhone 5s running 8.1.3. I tried restarted, synching, deleting all the Bluetooth connections and rediscovering them ... nothing.

I've had this same problem for a while now. iPhone 5s on Verizon, and same issue with Blueant, Jabra, and Plantronics headsets.
Sometimes the people on the other end can hear me, most of the time not. I can always hear them.
I had the Blueant headset for a while and it worked fine. It was just a cheap one to keep me going until I got another one. Got the Jabra Supreme, it worked fine for a while but then started intermittently not transmitting my voice to the listener. I can hear them fine but they can't hear me. Thought it was the headset, so got the Plantronics Voyager Edge bluetooth headset but same issue. Can't figure out if it was concurrent with a system update or not that the problem manifested itself, but it wasn't apparent from the getgo, so it started sometime after I'd been using the phone with headset for a while.
I'm glad (but sorry) to read that your wiping the device didn't make a difference as I was just about to try that, but don't want to do so if it's not going to make a difference.
Just updated to 8.3 today, so hoping that maybe something will be different. Charging up all 3 headsets now in hopes that problem will be miraculously gone.
No one seems to have a clue as to why this is, what could be causing it, and what to do about it. Frustrating to say the least. I had a Plantronics with my cheap old flip phone and it was fantastic. I used it for business every day. Now I'm relegated to using the speaker phone on the iPhone until I can get this figured out.

Bluetooth headset

there is still no bluetooth wireless headset that works with the pre. i can put up with a lot of issues but not this. i do a huge amount of driving and safely talking on phone is a serious problem. i love the pre but on previous phone i could voice command phone calls and i could listen to gps through wireless headset. i would think that this would be a priority for palm to correct. i bought the best wireless headset from sprint and took back because of this.
Post relates to: Pre p100eww (Sprint)

I have been using a Plantronics 855 bluetooth stereo headset (it's an old model, but still works great; prior to that I was using a Motorola 820). When I first got the Pre both headsets worked perfectly. I had little drop out on voice or music playback. Once when I did have a connecting and sound problem, I just deleted the pairing, rebooted the phone, re-paired the headset & I was OK again. That model works great for me & it's not even on the compatibility list. In your post, you wrote that you got the headset from Sprint. Since you didn't mention which wireless headset you got, I can only guess, but if you got it from Sprint, I know I've read some posts that have indicated connection problems with both the brands available from Sprint & the Pre. That's just an opinion from what I've read in various forums. I recommend the model I have. It can still be found on Amazon (I think), fairly cheap. And I know it works. Also I understand the new wireless headset from Jaybird might be good. I have no experience with that model & it's expensive, but it is sold at Target & if you don't like it, it should be easy to return.
Also, at least with the model I use, I can get the GPS voice instructions over my headset & not through the speaker. Not sure what could be going on with your headset there, except for possibly loss of AD2P channel signal which seems to be the channel that the Navigator program uses, not the voice channel. The only suggestion I could make would be to open up your bluetooth menu, disconnect the headset manually, then restart the connection manually before starting the Navigator program. That always seemed to work for me when I would lose the Navigator instructions over my headset.
I also wanted to post an entry to let someone at Palm know that I had written in another post after 1.21 came out that the AD2P stereo connection had become buggy. The headset was loosing connection more frequently & when it reconnected it would not automatically reconnect the AD2P signal, just the voice. It was a real pain having to manually reconnect the AD2P everytime the signal dropped.
But I wanted to report that with latest version 1.31 they finally fixed the problem. I had a brief drop out of the bluetooth signal to the Pre & when it restored the connection automatically, it reconnected the AD2P stream too! Finally, thanks for fixing that! Plus, I think my drop out frequency is back down again. I've gone all day & only had the bluetooth signal disconnect once, whereas after 1.21 it might have dropped out 5 or 6 times.
If the original poster hasn't updated to 1.31 yet, then that might be the best step to improving the wireless headset experience.
Aside from that, as with the above poster, I would wish that Palm would find a way to implement voice command in Web OS already. I really like the Pre & am very happy with all the features & work I can do with it now. But voice command is necessary & it shouldn't be missing anymore this far into the release. It would be nice to know if this is even coming down the pipe sometime in the near future.
Thanks for all the improvements in the 1.31 update so far. Please keep up the update release frequency & don't just wait for new models to come out.

Bluetooth Headset issue

While the latest version of Osx has fixed the problem with bluetooth headsets not working properly, I have a couple questions on its usefulness.
1) It seems that once setup, the mic stays hot the entire time its activated which runs the batteries down in no time. Is there a way to have the OS only activate the mic if I open a program that uses it like starting a call in skype?
2) The mic in the OS constantly adjusts itself based on external noise, is there a way that I can set the gain in settings and it actually stays the way i set it? The internal mic seems to operate normally but the bluetooth constantly increases the gain until it begins to sound bad.
Thanks for any help,
glenn

I bought a nokia bh-702 bluetooth headset. When connecting with E71, everything is OK, except that no ringtone comes from the headset when there is a incoming call.
Could you please tell me how to enable the ringtone from the headset while keeping the cellphone mute?
Thanks in advance!
Hello,
I've got exactly the same pair (E71 + BH702). The ringtone comes to headset if "general" profile is activate on E71. It doesn't come if "meeting" profile is active.
My problem is much more awful: very low volume when talking. How did you manage to increase volume with this headset ?
I would highly appreciate any information

Any Bluetooth Headset Recommendations Out There?

I realize the new 3G doesn't have voice-call activation (name recognition/dialing) capabilities... but interested on anyone out there that
a. has Bluetooth headset recommendations?
b. specifically around the Jawbone 1 and Jawbone 2?
AT&T Stores indicate that the slimmer Jawbone 2 is a hot-sell, but has the highest return rate compared to the Jawbone 1? Jawbone 2 is more comfortable but its plastic contact with the jaw is not consistent, creating breaks in conversation for those on the receiving end? They also offered feedback that while both Jawbones are the best on the market, the Jawbone 1 is better, despite its bulky size. (I know, another bleed site for the controversial 3G battery life) Anyone's feedback will be appreciated. Thx

If it was last yr. you must have tried that bulky Jawbone 1.. i can see where you would have been attracted to iPhones BT. I ended up getting the Jawbone 2 and after three days no problems and seemingly satisfied. Plantronics 800 series wasn't available (I think the 856 or 865?)
Thanks for your input though... If I return my Jawbone 2 in the next week or so, I will chk out Apple's but its reviews on Consumer Reports and CNET Reviews were not very high to others out there? To each their own I guess... almost like having buy suntan lotion at a CVS with A LOT of different choices.

I have a problem in the Bluetooth headset after updating iOS 7

I have a problem in the Bluetooth headset after updating iOS 7

Hi,
have a similar problem here. More specifically, I am using a Plantronics Voyager Legend (brand new) with my Iphone5 (iOS 7.0.2). All apps are working great with the headset, e.g., listening to music, normal phone calls, etc. No sound distortion at all.
When I use Skype (most recent version, which is 4.12.258) the sound is very distorted, like scattered. I also successfully used the same headset with a Samsung Galaxy S3 and Skype. No problems. So, I suspect that it must be the combination of Iphone/iOS7 and Skype which messes up the sound.
Does anybody else have the same problem when using that combination of devices and apps?
Best,
Kurt
