Bluetooth Stereo Pairing A2DP

I have a couple of Bluetooth Stereo devices that are A2DP compliant - headphones and speakers by Blueant. (When paired to my iMac, when connecting, you are given the option to connect as a headset OR as headphones, as they can work as either). When I pair to my iPhone after the upgrade, they seem to only connect as a telephone headset, and I cannot listen to the iPhone iPod or radio music stations. Am I doing something wrong? I don't seem to have any ability to adjust the Bluetooth settings on the iPhone to connect as stereo headsets. Separately, I thought that I could now pair the iPhone to my iMac to transfer files, etc., but the only Bluetooth services that appear are serial port or modem options. Ideas?

Can you tell me which Motorola headphones you got to work without issues.
I just got a 27" i7 iMac and would like to be able to watch or listen to music without using my external speakers without disturbing the family. This is a really beautiful machine and would love to sit or lay in bed and have the comfort of watching a movie on that HUGH screen!
thanks
p.s or can you recommend a good bluetooth or wireless stereo headphones that can do the job.

  • Getting Bluetooth Stereo to Work (A2DP profile)

    IT WORKS!
    I was terribly disappointed to learn that Apple didn't include the A2DP Bluetooth stereo profile in the iPhone. Since A2DP Bluetooth stereo is an established and stable standard, I can't think of any reason why Apple would not have included it in the iPhone. Hopefully they will add this as a firmware update, in the near future. In the mean time, I found a work-around.
    For more than a year, I have been using the Wi-Gear, iMuffs MA110, Bluetooth dock adaptor on my conventional iPod, with great success. My Motorola HT820 headset worked simultaneously with both my cell phone and the MA110 on my iPod. The iPod would automatically pause, when a phone call came in. It was really great and best of all, NO WIRES!
    Well, when I got my iPhone home and activated, one of the first things that I did, was to embark on finding a way to get rid that archaic wired headset that comes with the iPhone. The answer turned out to be rather simple, though somewhat irritating. I plugged my MA110 Bluetooth adaptor into the dock of the iPhone. The iPhone asked if I wanted to go into "Airplane Safe" mode. I responded "No." About 10 seconds later, I heard the beep in my Motorola HT820 headset, indicating that syncing had been successful.
    I went to iTunes on the iPhone and picked a tune and it played over my HT820 headset. All of the headset controls worked (Play, Pause, FF, REW, Skip, Next) Then, I used my landline to call my iPhone. The music faded and I was able to use the phone function over the HT820.
    The only glitch is that when I pause the music for too long, the iPhone removes power from the dock connector, which turns off the MA110 adaptor. This requires activating the iPhone screen and waiting for the MA110 to re-sync with the HT820 headset, before you can use it again. This only applies to pauses that were NOT instigated by a phone call or when you hang up a call and don't start the music again, right away. When you are on a phone call, the dock power stays active.
    The irritating part is that Apple's limitations requires me to have a Bluetooth adaptor, at all. At least, the MA110 is quite small and unobtrusive. It's about the size of a quarter and about as thick as three quarters stacked. It's small enough to fit through the dock opening in most carrying cases. See the image here:
    http://ActionAmerica.org/images/iPhone-iMuffs.jpg
    Note: Your Bluetooth headset must be turned on, BEFORE you plug in the iMuffs MA110, if syncing is to be successful. The same applies to re-activating the dock power after long pauses. Also, the first time you sync your headset to the MA110, you will probably have to put the headset into "Discover Me" mode.
    I hope that this helps some of you.
    It's not a great fix, but it should hold us, until Apple gets their Bluetooth act together.

    what i want to know is if a2dp is entirely a software thing and thus we know its simply a matter of firmware update, or is it hardware related at all meaning that it might not even be possible for iPhone1.0 to ever support stereo via bluetooth? is it possible that the muffs bluetooth adapter has special hardware not in the iPhone is the reason it works?
    if its just a matter of firmware, i can only assume its just a matter of time until this is fixed...but does seem a pretty glaring omission. I wish Apple would make some comments on things like this... i really like the look of the motorola rockr bluetooth headsets, and dont want to buy some momo single earpiece one now if stereo is coming soon...

  • Can I use Bluetooth to pair my iPad with a 2013 Chevrolet Equinox

    Can I use Bluetooth to pair my iPad with a 2013 Chevrolet Equinox?

    Yes if your Equinox head unit supports the Bluetooth A2DP (Stereo Bluetooth) protocol.

  • Does the E52 work with Bluetooth stereo headset?

    The device details at forum.nokia.com don't list BluetoothStereoAudio as a property of the E52 (it does for 5630).
    Can anybody confirm this?

    if nokia specification says it has A2DP and AVRCP, then it is compliant with Bluetooth Stereo no doubt about it...  bluetooth stereo is now a very common capability in many N and E series devices...
    The specification does say that it has A2DP and AVRCP. The question here is, if it will work properly. I have experienced problems with a Motorola S9 and N73, S9 and N85, S9 and N95-8GB. The pairing will be perfect, but music breaks and call volume is very low compared to the same S9 when paired with a MotoROKR. In theory, all these phones support A2DP & AVRCP. But still there is an interoperability issue.

  • No Sound Bluetooth Stereo Headset  - MB Pro running Win XP SP3 via Bootcamp

    I have a MacBook Pro Running Windows XP SP3 via Boot camp and I recently purchased a Rocketfish Bluetooth Stereo Headset. I am able to Pair the Headset to the MacBook Pro but I am unable to hear anything playing through them. I have checked to make sure that the volume is turned up. I think the problem might be driver related but, according to the Rocketfish support there isn't a specific driver for the headset. I'm not sure how to get the headset working. One other thing to note is that the headset works perfectly with my Iphone 4.
    I guess my questions are...
    How do I find an updated driver for the built in bluetooth on the MacBook Pro?
    Does anyone know how to fix the problem that I am having?

    So, finally I found what worked for me: Re: Full Bluetooth functionality in Bootcamp (audio, A2DP, FTP, OBEX) third variant, none of first 2 worked.. The only trouble was to find the correct link since on Acer site there is no download link. I've googled for "Bluetooth_Atheros_7.4.0.96_W7x64_A.zip" since this is the archive the guy is actually talking about. The 4th link on google was http://www.laptop-software.com/Acerdriversdownload.php?GDFiles/Driver/Bluetooth/ Bluetooth_Atheros_7.4.0.96_W7x64_A.zip?acerid=634556349384706773&Step1=Notebook& Step2=Aspire&Step3=Aspire%204830Z&OS=721&LC=en&BC=Acer&SC=PA_6 and I chose to downlad from the first download link. Then the steps are:
    1) unzip the folder
    2) don't look for x64 or x32, there is only a one installer called "Bluetooth_Suite_win7"
    3) install Bluetooth_Suite_win7
    4) after it installs Windows starts downloading and recognizing drivers, I don't know how it actually works, but it also downloaded and recognized the unrecognized before drivers for my Bluetooth headset.
    5) Restart Windows
    6) Turn on headphones - they connect automatically, everything works and works great, the quality of sound is exactly the same as it was on Mac OS, nothing that would bother me.
    ****, it took me 2 full days... finally...

  • Can you use the mic of a bluetooth stereo headset on an iPod touch 2G w/ fi

    Hi guys.
    I have a Dell bluetooth stereo headset with mic incorporated.
    I want to use this to have conversations with my iPod touch, using voip software.
    Can this be done? I'm asking because when I pair the headset with my iPod, the new voice notes app says I don't have any mic.
    In case it can't be done, can I use my headset with an added mic, connected to the audio plug in in the touch? I referring to something like this:

  • Bluetooth headset pairs, but is not available as playback device

    Hi there
    I am trying to pair and use my MEElectronics Runaway bluetooth stereo headset (with microphone) with my Zbook. I am following the instructions at MEElectronics available here http://www.meelec.com/Articles.asp?ID=352#ytplayer
    I make the device discoverable and am able to pair the devices.
    I select the device in Windows and it says 'connecting to device' then 'configuring device'. Then
    'This device has been successfully added to this computer. Windows is now checking for drivers and will install them if necessary. You may need to wait for this to finish before your device is ready to use. To verify if this device finished installing properly, look for it in Devices and Printers.'
    I click on Devices and Printers, and find the Air-Fi Runaway.
    I click on volume system icon to select it as a playback device, but it is not listed there.
    How do I guarantee that Windows actually downloads and installs the drivers to make this work? It doesn't appear to be doing so automatically as per what happened above.
    Thanks in advance for any assistance you can provide.
    Tronica

    hello,
    the reason the driver is not installed is because there is no windows 7/8 64bit driver available .
    I have the same problem with another kind of headphones, soundpeats qy7 .
    I keep searching and hoping that maybe a driver will be completed and published .

    please can someone help me out. I initial configure my bluetooth stereo ear piece with my iphone 4 and it was working but I mistakenly forget the bluetooth device and I cannot reconfigure it again with my iphone 4?

    place the device in pairing mode and re-pair.
    If you don't know how to do this, go to the manufacturer's website and download the user guide for your device.

  • Bluetooth stereo headsets for E61i?

    As E61i does not support A2DP there are no Nokia bluetooth stereo headsets available. But are they totally incompatible or just working mono then? Asking because my notebook supports A2DP and I just need ONE headset for both...

    Hi,
    I think that the adapters are the same. You just need to check that both support stereo sound and look about the same.
    And of course, you can always go to a shop and test them. (Which is probably best in any case, since what might be the best for someone might not be best for everyone else.)

  • Bluetooth stereo and settings

    Hi all.
    Got a bit of an issue with my Bluetooth, or more to the point my Alpine car stereo.
    I’ve paired it with the iPhone fine and it connects first time every time and all my contacts sync perfect. However the head unit works with iPod/iPhone and connects via a lead to a dock connector. The problem is that if the phone is connected and I start the car, the music plays but as soon as Bluetooth connects, it mutes the music as the device has switched to Bluetooth stereo mode as it thinks it’s a Bluetooth headset?
    To get music playing again I have to either disconnect then re-connect the iPhone of turn Bluetooth off.
    What I want to know is, is there a way to turn Bluetooth headset off and what do the other settings do on Bluetooth device menu. I think I could guess what they do but I want to confirm to see if any will resolve my problem.
    So what do the following do: 'Phone Favourites', 'Phone Recents' then in other groups 'All Contacts' is ticked?
    Thanks in advance

    Got a bit further with an answer after speaking to Alpine
    Apparently this is known issue from the latest iPhone software update with the 3GS that is affecting many devices. Alpine are aware and their top people have informed Apple who have acknowledged the problem and apparently are working on a fix in the next update
    The person I spoke to was surprised the iPhone had no way to turn bluetooth streaming off, i'm not! Another set of options were not allowed to touch, cheers Apple

  • MBA support bluetooth stereo headset?

    Has anyone tried and used a bluetooth stereo headset with the MBA? Does it even support it?

    I just read the technical support that you reply to my question and I thank you a lot!!!
    But I saw that my bluetooth stereo headset must be A2DP compatible to play and it is!!!!
    *Bluetooth Stereo Headset SBH650*
    *Technical Details*
    - Weight: 17 g
    - Size: 57 x 29 x 8,5 mm
    - Talk/Listen Music: up to 8,5 hours
    - Stand by: up to 170 hours
    - Bluetooth Version: 2.0
    - Headset-Jack: 3,5mm
    - *Compatible to all mobile phones that support Advanced Audio Distribution Profile (Bluetooth A2DP)*
    So I don't understand why there is a problem... I have tested my best's friend Stereo Bluetooth™ Headset HBH-DS980 (Sony Ericsson) that has too A2DP support and worked perfectly!!!
    Can this be because the Samsung Accessory is a brand new product and not supported from the iPhone firmware?...
    Thank you for your time!

  • Is there a way to select multiple clips in FCP 7 and make all of them stereo pair at the same time?

    I know,....  I'm still using FCP 7,  but since there are no forums for this aaplication anymore,  I figured I ask it here.
    I want to select multiple clips on the timeline and make them all stereo pair.  I pressed "Option L", but that does not work.  Is there a way to do this?

  • Is there a way to select multiple audio tracks and make all of them stereo pair at the same time?

    I selected multiple tracks, pressed "option L" but was not able to make multiple clips stereo pair at the same time.

    If I remember correctly it is not possible modify a group of selected clips on the timeline with the Stereo Pair command - unless all the selected clips have exactly the same properties - such as being linked to  video clips, etc. So you have to manually go through and select the dual mono tracks you want to pair individually or in smaller groups to be able to apply the Stereo Pair command.
    If you select a bunch (a couple)  of clips, and go to the menu Modify, you will see if Stereo Pair is grayed out or not. If it is grayed out, then you can't apply it to those clips as a group, but you probably will be able to apply it if you make smaller selections of clips.
