Lenovo W770 Wireless Headset - Quiet Mic

Myself and others are experiencing product malfunctions with the Lenovo W770 Wireless Headset product that involve the built in microphone suddenly being rendered nearly mute as its recoring volume plumets to an incredible low, almost as if one had incorrectly reverse connected the audio in/output phone connectors, only this is a wireless USB headset, so that explaination is out the window.
If anyone has any idea how this issue can be resolved, I would gladly hear it, otherwise I'm going to have to return the headset instead and issue a negative review for the product.

I just received W770 and tried it on a PC and it worked. But when I plug the USB receiver in a macbook air (2011 MAC OS 10.6.8), it didn't work. The message I got is that MAC can't recognize the "keyboard" and asked me to press the shift button on the unrecognized keyboard- which I guess meant that the MAC treated the USB dongle as if it were a wireless keyboard of some sort. Anyway, would appreciate it if you could let me know how to make it work on MAC. The previous statement saying that it would work on any Lenovo machine regardless of OS is kinda of unclear - do you mean that it would also work on lenovo running MAC OS (is there any Lenovo running Mac OS?). Thanks.

Lenovo W770 Wireless Headphone Problem

Straight out of the box, the Lenovo W770 wireless headphone works with Windows Media Player. But when I play a Youtube video, not a sound comes out of it. Can anyone tell me how to fix this problem?

I have a pair of Lenovo Headphones W770 but I lost the operating instructions. I looked on the Lenovo Website in order to download these insructions but they were not available. I want to connect these to my PC Laptop and Ipad.

Wireless Headset - Using Mic only?

Hellow fellow forum-writers/readers.
I got myself the very stylized wireless WoW headset and I'm enjoying this rather fancy and yet strangely limited headset.
I hadn't really thought about how it wouldn't work with anything not compatible with a USB port(and even some).
So anyway, going ontopic I have this problem.
How do I connect the headset and only use the Microphone?
I can't seem to enable my (Creative) speakers at the same time, or rather even if they are no sound comes out.
I use Windows Vista 7 64bit (Home Premium)
This is very useful if I have someone else in the room with me and we want both to listen to what's being said on the speakers, while talking to someone through Skybe, Ventrilo etc.
All help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Lenovo Wireless Headset W770 compatibility with Linux and Mac

Hi,
Can someone provide me information on Lenovo Wireless Headset W770 compatibility with Linux and Mac distributions. On the product overview page under Software Requirements, only Windows is mentioned. http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/downloads/detail.page?submit=true&componentID=1343112653906&DocID=PD...
Please let me know if the headset can work with other distributions as well.
Thanks & Regards,

Planatronics Wireless Headset..

I recently purchased the Plantronics .Audio 995 wireless usb headset. It claims it works on both Windows and Macintosh. I have used Plantronics headsets in the past and they have worked fine with iChat.
This headset will not give me any audio output in iChat. The mic works in iChat. I have both chosen in the iChat preferences, however, the sound does not work.
This headset works fine using Skype, Garage Band, and Rosetta Stone, the sound works with iTunes.
The only problem I have is the sound output in iChat.
Has anyone had this problem? Does anyone have any suggestions?
I called Plantronics and they said since it works with skype, it's not the headset, it's iChat.
Thanks

I do have wifi turned on, on my router, however, my computer is hardwired to it via cat5 ethernet cable. The wifi is only used by the iPhone. My mouse is wireless as well. Everything else is hardwired.
I tried to see what I could do with the MIDI Sound Utility.
First, I could not change the 16000.0 Hz that was the only option available and I could not change it by choosing another option or typing over it.
I also tried to create an Aggregate Device and combining the both into One Device. I got a mismatch message so the only way I could Make them match was to back the speakers off to match the mic, by changing the 44000.0 Hz to 16000.0 Hz. However, iChat would not allow me to choose the Aggregate as an option.
I did set the computer to use the wireless headset as my sound output and sound input. I set iChat to use the wireless headset as my sound output and sound input and when I received a call I heard it RING through the wireless headset, but when I answered, no sound at all.
I am wondering if it's because it's showing up as two devices if iChat is confused and only giving me the wireless mic as an option for both input and output. I just don't understand why it works everywhere else and not with iChat. As no one else seems to have this problem, maybe it's time to call AppleCare.
I did try talking with Plantronics and they say their product is working, it's a problem with iChat. They do not test with iChat and have no information, I have to go to Apple for help.
Thank you for your time and patience and suggestions. Have a lovely day.

Logitech Wireless Headset and Mac Book Pro

I recently purchased a Logitech H600 wireless headset. However I cant get my MBP to recognise the nano receiver. I have managed to get a connection between the MBP and the headset using standard bluetooth however the mic on the headset is not working as an input device. Has anyone any suggestions as to what I can do?
Thanks

Hello Weaver,
I actually just bought this headset. The headset exposes itself as an A2DP music streaming device when paired to a standard Bluetooth host, but this is an unadvertised feature (There is no Bluetooth logo on this product). Officially, Logitech's dongle exposes itself as a USB Audio Device but actually compresses the audio and sends/receives via A2DP. In this mode, it can do two-way communications but the audio quality sounds much poorer than direct A2DP Bluetooth from the MacBook. But in A2DP mode the microphone doesn't function. It doesn't support mono headset (HFP) profile. Microphone support is only via their proprietary audio mode from the dongle.
So I guess it's just a compromise depending on how you need to operate it. Skype, dongle. Music, direct Bluetooth IMHO.

Firmware, WoW Wireless headset

getting a error when i try to update the firmware, saying : (your device is not connected , please connect the device and restart the program)
my headset is connected and working , i have no clue what to do , i searched for a few hours in these forums and got nowhere if any one could spare the time to help me out it would be much appreciated...

I am having the same issue, I have tried every iteration of USB port, cable/no cable, headset on/off reboots, etc. to no avail.
The headset is connected and working because I receive audio through it, however when I attempt the install I get the error the previous user reported.
I have tried:
3 USB ports (1 rear, 1 front, 1 hub)
Re-syncing the headset/wireless transmitter
USB cable only connection
USB+Wireless
Wireless Only
Headset on, Headset off
Mic Muted, Mic on
Analog headphones plugged in
Virus protection disabled
And every combination of those it seems, still no luck.
This is on Windows 7 Pro x64, suggestions?

HP Wireless Headset H8000

Dear Sir,
I bought an HP wireless headset h8000.
1. I can not use it because there is no sound coming (the audio does not work). Nevertheless the speakers work, because there is a sound coming everytime I switch the headset on. The lights blink too. I tried to switch the audio at my laptop from speakers to headset and the laptop says the headset works. When music plays,it even shows that there should come noise from the speakers (of the headset). Do you have any idea why there is still no sound?
2. I wanted to charge my headset but it stopped to charge after a few minutes. Now it is hard to charge it again, because it stops every 5 minutes or so. It even starts to charge only when I connect the USB-Stick as well (if, however, I only connect the headset and do not connect the stick, the headset-light just flashes one moment, so I guess it does not charge) Why is it so hard to charge the headset?
Thank you very much for your efford!
With regards,
Headsetissues

Hello urtheone,
I understand you are having trouble connecting your HP Bluetooth H7000 Headset to your computer. You also want to know what the term "Pairing" means.
When connecting Bluetooth devices for the first time, a registration is required. This process is called Pairing. Most Bluetooth devices must be paired before they can communicate with each other. When devices are paired, they share a pass key which authenticates the two devices to make sure that wireless communication and security is established.
After two devices are paired, the devices will automatically recognize each other and you can then connect and disconnect the devices easily. You don’t have to pair them again unless the pairing is deleted on one or both devices.
Now, what I need to know is what computer do you have? I need the brand and model number. It is either an HP computer or a Lenovo, it cannot be both.
You probably need to turn on the Bluetooth hardware first on the computer before you can pair the two devices. Usually on a laptop it’s the Fn key and F3 or Fn and F5. Or you can go into Windows 8 and turn on and off your wireless settings.

Then you may need to go into Windows settings and go to “Add a device” to add the headset. This is where you will hold down the button on the headset to pair the device and connect.
Here is a video of a guy showing how to add a Bluetooth device on Windows 8. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QQZsd4Yk1nE
If you do have a Lenovo computer and are having trouble connecting still, you will need to contact Lenovo for further info.
Hope this helps.

Wireless Headset for my MacBook Pro

Dear Friends,
I need a Wireless Headset to make and receive VOIP calls (skype, ichat, SJphone, etc.) in my MacBook Pro 2.33 (MacOS 10.5.2)...
At home I have a “GN Netcom GN 9330 USB wireless Headset” that is very good but it is not portable and needs an AC Power Adapter.
I try the “Microsoft LifeChat ZX-6000 Wireless Headset” of a friend of mine that is a USB Wireless Headset, but this doesn’t work with MacOS.
I already tried several bluetooth headsets but all have a very poor audio quality. The sound comes and goes out with interference and with interruptions like “cuts”.
I have heard about “Plantronics Voyager 510-USB Bluetooth Headset System” as a good option, but I am afraid of spending money with it and then becoming a bad option.
Can anybody tell me something about this device??? As the MacBook has Bluetooth can I only buy the Plantronics Voyager 510 Bluetooth instead of Plantronics Voyager 510-USB Bluetooth???
Can anyone recommend me a good Bluetooth headset to pair up with my Macbook Pro for VOIP use. OR a good wireless USB headset???
Sincerely,
Paulo
(sorry for my bad english)

For charity, no soul can answer me?
Please...
Thanks,
Paulo

Can I use more than one blue-tooth device at the same time on IPhone 4S? Like a wireless headsets and speed and cadence sensor for cycling computer, receive the data and listen music simultaneously

Can I use more than one blue-tooth device at the same time on IPhone 4S? Like a wireless headsets and speed and cadence sensor for cycling computer, receive the data and listen music simultaneously

As long as the profiles are different (ex. HID vs AD2P) you will not have any issues. But say if you try to use 2 keyboards at once, it won't work. Or 2 headsets at once. Your scenario seems fine.

My iPhone 5 will no longer connect via bluetooth to Fitbit Flex or wireless headset

My iPhone 5 will no longer connect via bluetooth to my Fitbit Flex aftering updating to ios 7. Apple phone support had me completely erase and set my phone up again as new to restart bluetooth pairing, then restore again through iCloud. Worked last night but same problem today. It also will no longer connect to my wireless headset in my car. Of course I'm now 5 days over my 1 year warranty as well. Any ideas?

Delete the pairing from both devices then pair them again.

Where are the Vista drivers for the WoW Wireless headset?

I just got the World of Warcraft wireless headset - but the link in the quick start (http://www.soundblaster.com/WorldofW...irelessHeadset) does not direct me to a VALID Windows driver web site.
It has two links - one for Windows (which explicitly states that it supports Vista), one for Mac. Both take me to the Mac driver package.
When I use the "Software AutoUpdate" to find the right drivers, it tells me that "Windows Vista is currently not supported"
How do I get the Vista (64bit) drivers for this thing?
I want to use it, but if I can't get drivers - I'll have to return it.
(to make things more annoying, the support page http://support.creative.com/contactus/ is 404)

Try that direct link.

I find Plantronics kit excellent. I use their Pulsar headset for my iMac and mobile phone.
However, unless your OS has A2DP bluetooth protocol, which my Tiger does not, you can only use the built-in mike on your pc unless you get a compatible bluetooth dongle. Two way conversation with the phone however, is OK.
