Hi folks,

I'm after an A2DP (I'm assuming that's Class 2) headset, albeit specifically I just want something I can plug my existing headphones into. I'm looking for something with good sound quality.

(I have an HTC Diamond)

I've looked at things like the Jabra BT3030, and some more generic but better looking items on eBay (search on "Slim Bluetooth Stereo A2DP Headset Headphone Clip C57").

Any recommendations?

Thanks

IMHO you will never get 'great' sound quality over A2DP, I've tried a *lot* of setups, and always go back to my wired headphones!

In the meantime I've already bought a couple, including the aforementioned one over eBay. I also bought another over eBay referred to as the BCK-08.

Not having a lot of luck so far though as the first one arrived and refused to charge, and the clip is broken on the second one.

Managed to superglue the clip on the second one, and amazingly it didn't break when I slotted it back together.

And I'm actually pretty impressed by the sound quality. Definitely some slight interference in the quiet bit between songs, but it does compare very well with wired headphones (I checked!).

Make sure you read my recently posted comparative review of five (!) headphones. Use the search engine.

Thanks for the pointer, although as mentioned I'm after something to plug existing headphones into, rather than a combination setup.
