Hi, any of you having problem with the display? Mine was becoming dimmer and dimmer after a month. Will be okay after reset but that will only good for an hour or so. Sometimes that too didn't work. I returned to the SE and it has been 6 days still no news from them.
cheers |

can anyone who's used this headset with an m600i verify whether the AVRCP functionality works? (can you skip through tracks, etc using the remote)
thanks |

Hi all,
Only got mine a couple of days ago so not sure of the firmware and no way of checking but yes i can skip tracks on my M600 no problem. Was slightly dubious about the quality but must confess to being pleasantly surprised 75% volume is plenty loud enough for me. Have just left the equaliser on preset and not even found the need for Megabass even listening to Snoop Doggy Dog the sound is awesome. In fact it sounds better through the headphones than my Alpine head unit in the car very pleased with it and the M600i with the latest firmware.
Marc

Hi guys,

i have to say the sound quality sux!! the bass sounds muffled and this is with equaliser set to virtually no bass in windows media player.

This is probably because your PC is does not support the A2DP profile for music streaming. You are getting only mono sound quality.

As I posted a min or so ago, forget it with iTunes unless your computer via BT supports the A2DP profile. As for Skype, it works like any other BT headset.

hi sapporobaby,
thanks for your reply.
my laptop bluetooth stack definitely support a2dp. it's a widcomm stack version 4.1.
i'm able to get the sound through ok from a stereo perspective. it's just that i think the bass on ds970 is way overkill. even with minimum to no bass set on WMP i'm getting quite a lot of bass in my headset. don't get me wrong i love bass that's one of the reason why i bought this headset but when the bass are not transfered correctly it just sound muffled.
anyway, judging from your comment i take it u have no problems with a2dp with laptop.
u think a firmware update for ds970 will help? |

Hi kahiro,
I have the same bluetooth hardware as you, I think, I also use WMP. Does WMP transfer the song title to your headset? If yes do I have to use some plugin for that / What version of WMP are you using?
About the firmware, the first line on the back on my headset says XRY XXX XXX/X R1A
Isnt that the firmware?

Hey guys,
by all means have the firmware upgraded. I had mine done and it connects better and seems to function better. Not sure about the sound though. Seems he same to me.

About the same. You pay for what you get. It is a BT device that is always in transmit and receive mode when being utilized so, about 4 or so hours is normal. Just the way it goes. Besides, SE will have something new in a few weeks to months anyway, and I will dump my HBH-DS970 for that one so I am not really concerned either way.

Hi
I'm using WMP11. Unfortunately the track title do not get transfered to headset. AVRCP works though.
btw, for some strange reason i'm able to get perfect sound from laptop after pairing with M600i ... weird ... but not complaining |
