Guest Disco Stu Posted November 24, 2005 Report Share Posted November 24, 2005 source : GeekZone Bluetake has released a new version of their Bluetooth Stereo headphones with A2DP (Advanded Audio Distribution Profile) support. The new model measures on 44 x 37 x 20 mm (1.73 x 1.46 x 0.79 in.) and weighs only 44 g (1.55 oz.) including battery. This compact design is different from the sports tagged neck-back sports design used in Bluetake's previous headphones. the i-PHONO mini headphone allows users to anwser or make a phone call while listening to music. Besides the Bluetooth A2DP for stereo wireless transmission and the Bluetooth HSP/HFP for handsfree communication, the i-PHONO mini headphone also supports Bluetooth AVRCP (Audio Video Remote Control Profile), meaning consumes can use the i-PHONO mini headphone remote control (ex. Play, Pause, Next, Previous...) media device if the paired source also supports AVRCP. Bluetake is amking available two stereo dongles to allow non-Bluetooth music players to transmit stereo music over Bluetooth, including a stereo dongle BT430Tx with the standard headphone plug, and a Bluetooth stereo transmitter BT450Tx for the Apple iPod with the topside remote port. The iPod version allows users to receive stereo music and bridges the remote control from the headphone to the Apple iPod. For Windows users Bluetake is offering the BT007Si Bluetooth USB adapter with A2DP support.

Guest Gorskar Posted November 24, 2005 Report Share Posted November 24, 2005 This looks really nice! Theres an iPod adapter I see. The animation sort of implies this, but does anyone know: If I have the adapter on my iPod, can I be listening to music from my iPod, but then the device is still pared to my phone too so I can take calls (interupting the iPod music for a bit) and then go back to it when the call is finished! If so then how much do they cost, and where can I lay my mitts on one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ask this because I am looking for other devices that will do the same.. like this one Or is it just impossible?

Guest roma0803 Posted November 27, 2005 Report Share Posted November 27, 2005 (edited) From the Qtek9090 specs: v1.1 class 2 (incl. handsfree profile) So no A2DP (Advanced Audio Distribution Profile) for stereo sound. You will need this profile for the good use of those headsets. It seems the next WM5 ROM update will also have A2DP profile and is sheduled for the beginning of 2006 (but you know how that might go....) I don't know what PPC devices have this profile already but now you know what it needs and what to look for.

Guest Monolithix [MVP] Posted November 27, 2005 Report Share Posted November 27, 2005 Yep - A2DP is supposed to be supported in the Microsoft Messaging and Security Feature Pack (MSFP) for WM5, its a bit like the service packs they do for Windows. All current WM5 and 2003/se devices will not support stereo blutooth afaik. I've tried some motorola BT stereo headphone on my KJAM (running WM5), which work fine as hands free, but the KJAM will not pump my mp3's through them.

Guest Pondrew Posted November 28, 2005 Report Share Posted November 28, 2005 I can't confirm it but Paul [MVP] suggested that there was a High Audio Quality patch for the HTC Blue Angel and it's Broadcom bluetooth stack that would allow use of stereo bluetooth headphones. Presumably the Broadcom stack is capable but needs this patch... The thread suggesting this is here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Pondrew Posted November 29, 2005 Report Share Posted November 29, 2005 @sjeemsnl, on the today screen click on bluetooth and choose bluetooth settings, then about. It'll say there which version Bluetooth you've got (probably BT-PPC/PE Version 1.0.0 Build 3900 which is the latest version) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Paul [MVP] Posted November 29, 2005 Report Share Posted November 29, 2005 Am I missing the point, or is this a bit stupid by still actually having a wire? :| P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Disco Stu Posted November 29, 2005 Report Share Posted November 29, 2005 Wire goes round back of neck....somewhere to hang the set when not in use ? My frustration with wired sets is, particularly this week, that the volume / mic piece is catching in my clothes and self-adjusting the volume and de-lugholing itself :evil: This would appear to be a good solution 8) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest floepie Posted December 1, 2005 Report Share Posted December 1, 2005 Why is it odd? You only need one BT receiver instead of one for each ear I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
