What is the best bluetooth headset for the Nokia n900?


All help is wanted

Re: What is the best bluetooth headset for the Nokia n900
 

I am very happy with the Plantronics Backbeat 903.

Lots of threads already on this, search could be your friend if you were to establish a relationship with it.

Re: What is the best bluetooth headset for the Nokia n900
 

"the best" is very objective, and everyone will have different opinions for different reasons.

Indeed, search is good: http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=38419

By 'the best' if you mean

- Made by Nokia
- Reasonable battery life
- Allows full transport controls
- Pretty clear audio both for mic and phones
- Allows you to use any headphone you want

I'd recommend the BH-214 as others have done elsewhere.

Re: What is the best Bluetooth headset for the Nokia N900?
 

I've been using Nokia's headset BH-905, but very expensive. Other than the price it is a very good headset. Supports bluetooth or wired usage with several adapters for airplanes and regular receviers to name a few. Also support calling, music playback and noise cancellation with several mics for clear communication via voice. In my opinion it's worth the price having gone through many headsets including the BH-214. I do have to say the range with the N900 is not the greatest, had better range with BH214's. Got about 15ft with BH905, with BH214 got about 25ft.

BTW:

I don't post often at all, but I've been reading this forum and others for quite some time and using all the advice given from others and I just wanted to offically say to this community thank you for the outstanding job you do in making the N900 what it is thus far, a great and powerful device. Closest to a laptop experience I've had thus far from any device I had before (Iphone, N97, HTC, Treo, and Blackberry). Goal for me is to get rid of laptop and desktop and just use a smartphone, easier to travel with as I do a lot of travelling. Take care and God bless everyone.

Jawbone's Noise Assassin

Hands down best BT headset I've ever used.

Re: What is the best Bluetooth headset for the Nokia N900?
 

+1 for the BH-214. use your headphones and uses same charger as phone (with converter) is a big plus.

Re: What is the best Bluetooth headset for the Nokia N900?
 

I had terrible stuttering with all my Jawbones till PR 1.2. It was not usable. Now Jawbones are awesome with 1.2.

Was that your experience?

I'm using an Jawbone Icon right now and it is Killer!

Re: What is the best Bluetooth headset for the Nokia N900?
 

i'am using Plantronics Discovery 975, it is ok.

Re: What is the best Bluetooth headset for the Nokia N900?
 

My vote for Nokia BH-214.. best sound and best use of charger
I can use any of my headphone as well which is a big plus

Re: What is the best Bluetooth headset for the Nokia N900?
 

I bought the headset BH-505 and it works fine.

Re: What is the best Bluetooth headset for the Nokia N900?
 

I have an Logitech Freepulse. No fancy playbackcontrols, only an internal volume changer. Works great and isn't that expensive.

Re: What is the best Bluetooth headset for the Nokia N900?
 

Thanks but I'm more interested in the best monoaural headsets around (convert to stereo option might be handy, but not imperative).
The best I've found so far seems to be discovery 975 or voyager pro*, still comparing though, any favourites?

I'll get a BT stereo headset later that'll need to be rugged enough for jogging etc, but it's not a priority now.
BH-214 is a candidate, but I don't like the fact that it re-injects wires into the equation.
I don't need optimal listening quality when I'm jogging etc.

*Which by many accts is better than 975!
Aside from being bulkier, less stylish, & not having the gimmicky battery extender case.
(I'd rather just have a headset with longer talk/idle time).

Re: What is the best Bluetooth headset for the Nokia N900?
 

I have a Jawbone ICON and it is Killer. You can get a custom molded earpiece made FTW!

Re: What is the best Bluetooth headset for the Nokia N900?
 

I saw this review which puts the 975 ahead in areas I'm most interested in (jawbone won overall but).
http://cnettv.cnet.com/aliph-jawbone...-50084363.html
I don't care about the extra "apps" ecosystem the Icon purportedly brings.
But as mentioned in my earlier post, Voyager Pro may be even better for me.
Because I'm not particularly interested in the advantages the 975 brings over the Pro.
Icon's def. on my short-list but, anyone else have a fav. monoaural?

Thanks/Night!

Re: What is the best Bluetooth headset for the Nokia N900?
 

Is there anything not working as you'd expect it to?
Are their functions that work on other phones, that don't on the Discovery 975 + N900?

I'm interested in a decent monoaural headset like this.

Re: What is the best Bluetooth headset for the Nokia N900?
 

So I've narrowed the best monaurals down to these 7:

http://the-gadgeteer.com/2010/08/03/...eadset-review/
http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2358184,00.asp

Which ones do ya'll prefer and why exactly?
Not interested in comparing any other models, just gets too complicated.
I've already done extensive reading and these are def. stand outs!
(may shove the endeavor hx1 in-place of one of them)

Will start a dedicated thread soon...

Re: What is the best Bluetooth headset for the Nokia N900?
 

I've had all the Jawbones as well as the Blueant Q1. As before, I like the Jawbones, the Icon is the best of the Jawbones, by far. All the earlier ones had a quirky switch arrangement, that was way too cool and way less functional. The Blueant has nice sound, but short Batt life, and an easily damaged "stem" on the earpiece where the rubber gelpad attaches. That makes the Q1 very prone to damage. Another advantage of the JB Icon is it uses Micro USB, same as N900. Blueant's connector is proprietary, you must use expensive blueant PSUs.

Ignore Jawbone's "Software" appz, pretty useless. They do have one great feature though. You click the button and it gives you estimated Battery life left in hours. I like that a lot.

Re: What is the best Bluetooth headset for the Nokia N900?
 

Yeah stylish & tiny (at the expense of battery life) isn't a big priority for me.
For e.g. the vpro is quite humongous, but i couldn't care less that it looks dorky, look at it's battery life compared to other models etc.

Thanks for adding your thoughts, i will set-up a dedicated "monoaural headset" thread tomm, 4am here, bed time.

Re: What is the best Bluetooth headset for the Nokia N900?
 

I have the Nokia BH-905. It's excellent but the design is not to everyone's taste.

Re: What is the best Bluetooth headset for the Nokia N900?
 

Thanks but more interested in monoaural....
I do have plans for a stereo headset for jogging etc.
But i'm not sure if this model is rugged enough for that sort of thing.
Plus a little high-end, i don't need top AQ when I'm exercising.
Setting up dedicated thread soon...

Re: What is the best Bluetooth headset for the Nokia N900?
 

set-up dedicated thread here, as the OP's focus is slightly different to mine I think

Re: What is the best Bluetooth headset for the Nokia N900?
 

im using Nokia BH-604 and Nokia BH-214 aswell,it has great sound specially BH-604.

Re: What is the best Bluetooth headset for the Nokia N900?
 

Thanks, in my thread I'm focussing on monoaural, I will get stereo later though.

Re: What is the best Bluetooth headset for the Nokia N900?
 

I am using Blumax Bt headset. Its easy to use, comfortble,sound extra, mic is ok.

Re: What is the best Bluetooth headset for the Nokia N900?
 

I am using the MM100 from Sennheiser http://www.sennheiser.com/sennheiser...e_music_504111

-good sound quality
-isolation is ok, can be used in loud car
-low profile, easy to pack and light to wear, compatible with eye glasses.
-no driving wind noise when listening on bicycle

-useless as a headset for calling over Skype - bluetooth and wifi don't go together (a lot of hick-ups in the sound when Wifi is enabled) with this combo
-low quality sound from "invisible micro" when calling over the cellular network

Re: What is the best Bluetooth headset for the Nokia N900?
 

I bought a Nokia BH-214 th other day, and have been really pleased with it.

Over my previous bluetooth headset, it has great sound, a good range. The charger socket fits my nokia charger so I only need one! (I use the 2mm to microusb adaptor with the N900), and I can use the earphones which suit me, which is important as a lot of them don't fit correctlt or comfortably.

Re: What is the best Bluetooth headset for the Nokia N900?
 

i saw this new blueant v1x for only $45 at newegg.ca
i had to buy it
my old one died (different model), but i really like the features they put on these. it can pair to 8 devices and has an updatable firmware. fully voice controlled. looks great too!

Re: What is the best Bluetooth headset for the Nokia N900?
 

My Blueant has great sound quality, kinda dismal battery however, and short talk time compared to what they claim. I called them and they made a joke out of what their documentation claims.

Re: What is the best Bluetooth headset for the Nokia N900?
 

Definitely the Plantronics Voyager Pro... great sound quality, although the windscreen on the mic can be painful if you've got facial hair.

Works well enough, although it does have a quirk: when you get a messaging alert, IM status change, or anything else that would normally just be a short audio clip, the Pro will play it's "re-connect" tune (3 beeps) instead of the audio. When the n900's in its case on my hip, I can never tell exactly what event has occurred unless I look physically at it. No biggie, since it will play the ringtone when someone calls.

Re: What is the best Bluetooth headset for the Nokia N900?
 

hey guys since this is regarding bt headset; I'm planning to buy BH505 and heard its pretty alright but the only thing thats kinda bothering me is if FM Player works with bt headsets.. any ideas? thanks

Re: What is the best Bluetooth headset for the Nokia N900?
 

Gee how are you guys getting your Jawbones to work? My N900 just keeps searching and searching and can never detect the jawbone when I'm in pairing mode.

I have the small Jawbone 2 Assasin which is only about a year old. I also just recently updated my N900 to PR1.3 OTA about a week ago.

And when I was on PR1.2 I could never get the Jawbone to work.

Any suggestions? I thought all of the bugs would have been worked out by now.

Re: What is the best Bluetooth headset for the Nokia N900?
 

Does your N900 pair with any other BT headset.

I've used every Jawbone with mine. Original to the Icon.

If your N900 pairs with other headsets, call Aleph. They may upgrade your Jawbone.

The Jawbone may need a reset, you may want to look up how to do that.
