How to use A2DP bluetooth headsets.

[MrWizardno2]

I am so pissed. I got the 820's thinking they would actually sound good.... hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha high quality audio my butt.

Maybe I'm picky, but the high end on these sound like crap, no matter what bitrate the source is. and this is coming direct from the PC using a Motorola BT adapter supporting a2dp.

Never ever again unless it's comparable to wired headphones.

After countless hours of trial/error - I got lucky(?) by way of reinstalling older version of xcpuscalar..and BT stereo now works with everything, including audio books.

It doesn't make any sense to me, but I don't really care. Even when I reboot the xcpuscalar stays active in the Task Manager and the audio comes through. This is the trial version of xcpuscalar 2005 ver 2.03. It's a quick download, worth a shot before taking drastic measures! No need to make any changes on it, just installing it did the trick!

Headset BT activation attempts to open dial pad each time though... but no big deal to me, the audio gateway remains open after closing the phone app.

Okay, so can we have some voting here? Who thinks the audio quality coming out of the HT-820s sounds like ass-in-a-can? The lows and mids are good and tolerable, respectively...but the highs are so bad, I can't listen to anything - it almost hurts to hear sound reproduced in such horrific fashion!

Please tell me there are others who have used A2DP, heard of this problem, and solved it - please please please...I don't want A2DP to suck!

Add another vote to HT820 = ass-in-a-can.

Not sure what other headsets sound like, so I can't really compare.

Also, I find the quality tolerable, but I don't use it much at all. The headset is too bulky in my opinion.
Some have had luck getting better quality changing various registry settings.

However, if you want a more low tech solution you could also hold the headphones tighter to your ear. It actually improves it by a noticable margin.

I have been playing with the plantronics 590a on sprint 6700 and only get mono in both ears. Bitrate seems to be for headset settings though stereo headset is selected deselect handsfree and it won't function-how do I pump up the fidelity?

Guys it is not the HT820's fault, its the stack software. It isn't using the full bandwidth alotted under the A2DP specification. I have tried three different headsets using the hack, and then tested the same headsets with a dongle that provides true A2DP from my PC, world of difference.

I have not personally tried the Widcomm stack hack, but from what I can tell there is still no true A2DP (HiFi) hack for the PPC6700 or any of the HTC PDAPhones.

Is there anyone out there that can honestly claim to be using A2DP on their 6700's where the sound is as good or better than FM Stereo in their cars? Real A2DP on a good headset sounds as good or better than FM stereo, it should actually sound as good as CD digital, but I am not holding out for that.

And thanks to Wideawake for the hack in this thread, it is useful for audiobooks, talk shows and as a proof of concept.
