Reccomend me a bluetooth headset

Mrbonner · #1 (**permalink**) 07-23-2006, 10:51 AM

Im sure this topic has come up already but can some one recommend me a really good bluetooth headset for the ppc? Also i would like to know is it possible to hear the ringtones u assigned to ur contact through the headsets? Or is it going to be a generic ringtone? Can u listen to audio through them as well? Thanks.

check the thread HERE. as far as hearing the assigned ringtone I'm not 100% sure since I havent been using mine, but I might test it out. I think its possible.

Yes you can listen to music, dent know of any way to set the ring tones thing its usual just generic. However if you are going to have the blue tooth on your ear all the time you can set the BBTogle to audio gate way and the ring tone you set will play in the BT, but there will be no sound from the PPC at all, everything goes to the BT. As far as the best I have been hearing good things about the gennum nxzen 5500 plus, but I haven't tried it. I have a JX10 and I get a lot of complaints about back ground noise. Very clear, loud and sounds good in quiet locations, small light and comfortable. Hope that helps.

well a bluetooth headset like the ht820 a2dp headset can play the ringer throught the headset. also you can listen to music as well. but its a headset bluetooth. check the thread out though

and let me guess having the bluetooth connection on at all times really drains the battery.

You get some battery drain but not that much. I would say that my PPC uses about 1/4 more battery with the BT than without

This dose not work with the JX10. It might only work with the headset bluetooth style headsets. I have had too many different BT devices, I cant remember for sure which I was using. I have tested this with my JX10 today and all I can get, no matter what I do, is the generic ring tone. Sorry about the confusion

yea it actually doesnt use that much battery

the only phone that i have seen that actually plays the ringtone through the headset is the nokias. with the nokia when u have it connected via bluetooth to a standard bluetooth headset all keytones and ringtones are heard throught the headset.

also i have noticed with the bt toggle when u hit the power button the bt toggle shuts off. so i dont think that option will work. and also when u have the bt toggle on u will hear static the whole time the gateway is open. unless there is music coming out of the headset.
