Need recommendations for bluetooth headset/ear piece

What bluetooth head set/ear piece is best and compatible with iPhone?
Thanks

I've used several, and landed on the Plantronics 655. I think a newer version is out now (the 665, I think). The headset is small and sounds great, it comes with several different earpieces to suit the size of your ear canal, the recharging options are good, and it has a good battery life.
I just started using a Aliph Jawbone, and so far it's very very good, too. I've heard very good reviews for it from others.
P.S. I've used both with the iPhone, no problems.

  • Need recommendation for Bluetooth unlock

    I have a Droid Razr HD and I use an automatic screen lock that activates within a few minutes of nonuse. It's a pin screen. It works fine, but is a pain when I am in the car and wanting to make a bluetooth call. I have to physically unlock the screen first before making a bluetooth call, otherwise the call can't be placed.
    I have heard that there are apps that will recognize an attempt to place a bluetooth call and will automatically unlock the screen so that the call can be placed. Does anyone know of such apps?

  • Can anybody actually RECOMMEND a bluetooth headset for the iPhone?

    I see a lot of bad experiences, & not too many good ones.
    Can anybody actually RECOMMEND a bluetooth headset for the iPhone? I just need one that works, with very little features (ie: redial button on headset).

    I've actually posted another thread, and I don't mean to take over the original members post, but I'm hoping this will help others who may be having the same problems. Thanks to all of you who have posted your results with the various headsets!
    I am now on my third iPhone 3G in under six months. The first one would drop calls when the corded Apple headset was plugged in during the call, and the second would cause the caller on the other end to hear an echo when I used the Apple headset. Plus, it did not respond well at all to Bluetooth headsets. Tons of static, call echoes, and noise cancellation not working.
    My experience with the Jawbone 2 has been disappointing. I have heard way too many testimonials of satisfied iPhone users who love the JB2, so I'm beginning to think it's just me. I went through FOUR Jawbone 2 devices in under a month, all because of poor sound quality, and the Noise Assassin not working properly.
    The white rubber tip sat very well against my cheek, and the default medium earpiece fit perfectly in my ear and was very comfortable to wear. Everything seemed to be in order, but the same problems would arise over and over again. I would get poor sound quality on both ends of the call, and people could hear the tv or the radio playing in the background on my end.
    Maybe the structure of my head isn't suited for the JB2, but I have a very normally proportioned head. I refuse to believe it's the device——It has been rated highly by too many people to be the issue. I've all but given up on it, regrettably.
    The Plantronics Discovery 665 I tested had issues with static. I would hear it on my end, even thought the phone was no more than two feet away.
    I'll give the Plantronics 925 a try, as well as the Blue Ant V1. We'll see...

  • Recommendations for over the ear bluetooth headphone

    Hello. Does anyone have recommendations for over the ear bluetooth headphones to be used for my Mac Pro? Thanks!

    I recently got a set of Insignia NS-BTHDP I am quite happy with. They synced up no problem with the internal bluetooth and work nicely. I had an older set (Jensen WBT212) that didn't work as well but were functional that these replaced.

  • 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.

    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.

  • I need recommendations for an emac 1.42 and ibook 1.33 compatible external superdrive ?

    I need recommendations for an emac 1.42 and ibook 1.33, OS 10.3 - 10.5 compatible external superdrive ?

    If you need the drive to be able to boot those Macs, you'll need FireWire connectivity. If you ned to use a system optical disk to upgrade or re-install the OS. or repair your hard drive, you must boot from the optical drive. If either computer's built-in optical drive has failed, or does not support reading DVDs, you'l need to boot from an external sooner or later.
    If all you need is a burner, then USB opticals are cheaper and should work fine.

  • Need Recommendation for Ear Piece that Won't Fall Out When Running

    I've got a nano with the Nike sensor and jog nearly every day. It drives me crazy that the ear pieces that came with the nano fall out several times during my run. Can someone recommend a good set that will not fall out and sounds good? Not to sound like an a@@, but price is no object. In other words, what are the best possible ear phones that I can buy to jog with?

    Well, if you can find a pair of in the ear canal earphones that fit you well (I had to try a couple of different brands), they might work for you. I like etymotic research er-6is. I find that when I take the trouble to seat them properly, they stay in no matter what. The only irritating thing about them is I can hear the cord moving.
    I've also used a cheap pair of Koss earphones that have a plastic piece on each one that goes around the ear. The sound was adequate. However, when I'm running on the street, I don't mind the less than stellar quality and I can hear what's around me. I think Sony makes a well regarded set of earphones that with similar over the ear pieces. I don't remember the model number.

  • Recommendations for Bluetooth headphones?

    Does anyone have a recommendation for a good set of Bluetooth stereo headphones?  I am looking mainly to listen to music and watch videos but would make an occasional call with them. I purchased the Plantronics backbeat and while the sound quality is fine they just don't get loud enough. I have read similar complaints about the Jaybird freedom.  Any suggestions?
    Thanks

    yup.. this was added to Leopard 10.5... 10.5 is REALLY flaky though (all around, not bluetoothwise)... 10.5.2 is what you need.
    but with 10.5.2 installed i use the Motorola MOTOROKR™ S9 with a Belkin USB bluetooth adapter (class 1 so get 300 ft range)... works really well... good for exercise 'cause they are light and they stay in your ears securely and can take sweat etc and they are sound isolating and have two sizes of in ear thingies for different sized ears.
    plus have Advanced Audio Distribution Profile (A2DP) and Audio Video Remote Control Profile (AVRCP). AVRCP lets you control iTunes and volume from the head phones... back, forward, play, pause, volume up and down.. they are really cool and work perfectly.

    I anonymized the MAC of the Bluetooth headset because otherwise, somebody would probably yell at me for the security vulnerability. Because with that MAC, someone could uh ..... they could ...... uhm ...... well I anonymized it anyways.
    So without further ado, here's what I do to try and get my bluetooth headset going:
    [root@yvonne bluetooth]# lsmod | grep ^snd_bt_sco
    snd_bt_sco 14028 0
    [root@yvonne bluetooth]#
    That ensures I've got the appropriate module loaded.

    Note that each time after I wipe out the keys from /var/lib/bluetooth, I'm putting the headset back into pairing mode by holding down its "phone" button.
    So I'm kind of at the end of my rope here. Something is going wrong during pairing, but what is it? dmesg isn't giving me any clues here either. Is the PIN not getting transmitted properly or something?[/code]

    Ok, there's some strange things happening with bluetooth these days it seems. I had a lot of trouble setting up a connection to my phone, even after following avery bit of advice I found on the net.
    But somehow I found a way, and now it works. I had to do some things not documented anywhere, excepte from some obscure places from 2003 etc.
    The most significant problem I encountered was that my phone would never find my computer, even though I set pscan and iscan enabled.
    Here's a line of code I found that fixed the problem for me. It could work for you too, since your problem looks exactly like the things I saw when the phone couldn't see my computer.
    dbus-send --system --dest=org.bluez /org/bluez/hci0
    org.bluez.Adapter.SetMode string:discoverable
    I write this after the bluetooth system has started.
    Hope it helps

  • Recommendations for Bluetooth GPS for N95

    Has anyone got any recommendations for a Bluetooth GPS receiver (to improve the dire performance of the inbuilt one) available in UK?

    I bought the Nokia N95 8GB for its 'all in one device 'convenience.
    I bought an external Bluetooth GPS, not because the inernal was no good, or not accurate enough but because I did not want to destroy it with vibration and rain, strapped to the handlebars of my Yamaha XT225
    I want to create tracks (kml?)that map out the roads, lanes and footpaths of Cebu, Philippines using my Motorbike, in places the car could not go.
    I decided on the Wintec G-Rays2 (WBT-201). This is more than just a Bluetooth GPS, as it has a 'logger' function also (collecting up to 131,072 waypoints). It is also much quicker at acquisition than the internal GPS (34 seconds or if data is still in memory 4-33 sec).
    Even in a car, the WBT-201 G-Rays2 unit, can be positioned on the dash, whilst from anywhere in the car, the N95 receives the NMEA0183 format data stream giving position, speed, altitude and time, together with estimated error and satellite status.
    'Sports Tracker' works very well with this for receiving the data stream 'live'. Once 'captured' it has many 'export' formats of the captured information. Test 'Tracks' of the same 'Route' using the internal GPS and another time the WBT-201, show the external unit to be more accurate. Having said that, the internal GPS is actually pretty good at capturing the same track.
    The only real 'negative' of the WBT-201, is the 'TMXTool' software (for configuring the settings, on the go, rather than connected to a PC), is for PPC, and not S60. However the 'TimeMachineX' software is OK for 'Windows' use.

  • Need recommendation for external DVD burner drive!

    I'm one of the officers for a film club at the University of North Carolina at Wilmington. Recently, I discovered that we had, in our offices, a fully-functional, if not somewhat dated, iMac G4. After getting the neccessary OS X upgrades (it's now running the latest version, 10.4.8), I need to upgrade the CD drive, which is currently just a CD burner drive. It can't even play DVDs, much less burn them, both things we need to have working if we want people in our organization to be able to use this computer.
    Since I don't want to physically remove the drive and replace it with an internal DVD burner drive, I'd like a recommendation for a good external one. I noticed that there's only one option on the Apple Store, the LaCie d2 DVD+/-RW Drive, and that doesn't look like it's been getting very good reviews. Does anyone have any other options I could choose from?
    iMac G4   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    Good point Keith. 
    I have no experience of this model but this one from OWC (a company who get very good press on these boards) promises iDVD 5 and 6 support. It's somewhat cheaper than the Lacie in the Apple store but doesn't have Lightscribe.

  • Just got motorola s9, is time delay normal for bluetooth headsets?

    As title says I just got a s9 headset and am very surprised by how good they sound with music ( haven't tried a call yet, I understand call quality *** ). Anyway I'm really noticing how bad the time delay is with these, they are completely useless for watching video and also playing tap tap revenge as the sound is a good second behind whats happening onscreen. Is this just the s9 or is this delay normal with bluetooth headsets?

    There is a slight time delay with any Bluetooth headset that I have ever used for music, and yes it is useless for watching movies or playing games.
    To play devils advocate I think if you are able to watching a movie or playing games, then you should also having no problem using wired headphones.

  • No PIN for Bluetooth headset for Nokia 6021

    Can't seem to pair my old headset with a replacement model 6021 because I don't have a PIN. Anyone know a workaround other than buy a new Bluetooth headset?!

    To help you, could you please specify the following:
    Model of the bluetooth headset.
    Check differences in firmware of your 6021.
    Also, with your previous Nokia 6021, did you pair your headset without using a pin?
    On various headsets there are ways to "reset" the settings, by pressing a few buttons together for a number of seconds for example.
    Have you tried pairing with a different bluetooth headset?
    There is also a limited ammount of devices the phone can pair with, make sure you have room to pair the bluetooth headset.
    Waiting to hear from you,
