Guest happyuser Posted September 17, 2004 Report Posted September 17, 2004 RE: C500/Dopod 565 Any one know if MP3 songs can be streamed thru BT Headset? BTW, it took me 1week to figure out how to turn off GPRS on my Dopod 565 (sorry, it was not in the printed menu I've got :x ). But here it is: Just press and hold the HOME key and there you go!!

Yes it can but the sound is not so good and no stereo. it also depends on the services your headset has.
Guest rpb Posted September 17, 2004 Report Posted September 17, 2004 This was sort of covered in an earlier thread - could anyone who got this to work post which headset they were using ? Anyone tried a "stereo" headset yet ?
Guest TomID Posted September 19, 2004 Report Posted September 19, 2004 Ah yes the eternal dream of wireless headphones. Would save me a total of 3 days of my life that i will spend untangling my wires again and again. Anyone know, please?
Guest TigerNet Posted September 20, 2004 Report Posted September 20, 2004 ...there is a bluetooth stereo headset called i-phono by bluetake technology...they work a treat, but are a bit bulky...ideal for the gym!!! Cheers Nick
Guest Djarid Posted September 20, 2004 Report Posted September 20, 2004 Is the sound quality ok Tigernet?
Guest TigerNet Posted September 20, 2004 Report Posted September 20, 2004 ...I'm no expert, but sounds ok to me...
Guest Djarid Posted September 20, 2004 Report Posted September 20, 2004 good enough for me... now just need to justify the expense! :)
Guest rpb Posted September 21, 2004 Report Posted September 21, 2004 Just to clarify - have you used the i-phono with a c500 playing MP3s? Was this without the "dongle" ? Was the sound stereo or mono ?
Guest TigerNet Posted September 22, 2004 Report Posted September 22, 2004 ...stereo, no dongle, MP3s via bluetooth!!! Cool eh??
Guest rpb Posted September 22, 2004 Report Posted September 22, 2004 Could you explain the method you used to achieve this ? A lot of posers have tried and failed with other headsets. Does it work in headset and handsfree mode ? Do you have to press the headset button after the Mp3 has started playing ?
Guest TigerNet Posted September 22, 2004 Report Posted September 22, 2004 ...sure... First you pair the headset with the dongle via another device (iPod for example). This then gets the headset functioning. Then you can pair it with your bluetooth enabled smartphone (C500 for example) WITHOUT the dongle. There are only call answer/end and volume controls on the headset, so other functions like song selection are done from the phone. So, there you are listening to your tunes, the phone rings in your ear, you answer via your headset, take the call, end the call on the headset and your music continues... Cheers Nick
Guest rpb Posted September 22, 2004 Report Posted September 22, 2004 I know your method should work OK but a number of posters have reported difficulties with other headsets. I think the I-phono headset receives stereo via Advanced Audio Distribution Profile (A2DP) which the C500 does not currently support. Any MP3 sounds you are receiving are therefore probably only mono (albeit through both earpieces). Sorry to be a pain but just to check once again that you have achieved this with an ACTUAL C500 playing through an ACTUAL I-phono headset. How does the headset feel in practice? The ability to play MP3s over bluetooth is my "Holy Grail" & would be enough to convince me to swap my current MPX200 for a c500 (or SDA derivitive) !
Guest TigerNet Posted September 22, 2004 Report Posted September 22, 2004 ...it definitely works, but I will check the stereo part for you...I haven't really focussed on that as sound is coming through both ears...will let you know... Cheers Nick
Guest rpb Posted September 23, 2004 Report Posted September 23, 2004 Any news on the stereo / mono query ?
Guest TigerNet Posted September 24, 2004 Report Posted September 24, 2004 ...as far as I can tell it is stereo...I haven't found the track I was looking for to really test whether sound goes from one ear to the other...think it was Fleetwood Mac (F1 theme)...will let you know....
Guest rpb Posted September 24, 2004 Report Posted September 24, 2004 Cheers. Last question - how comfortable is the I-phono ? Would it be OK on a train / tube ?
Guest TigerNet Posted September 25, 2004 Report Posted September 25, 2004 ...as I said...it is fairly large, but it is comfortable...ideal for the gym/bike...
