what is the volume on your phone.. (how many bars are there to achieve pump up volume that is not hurting the ears)


depends on the sensitivity of the headphone. with the UE super.fi 5 pro (the most sensitive I own) I listen at 8-10 of 16 bars, with most other headphones at 13-15. that is commuting, with lots of ambient noise.

I had a problem with my HBH-DS200 and my W950i, It seemed like it was all connected as it should be, but when playing music and making calls it was always....jumpy..and would skip, like a scratched CD.

Works fine on my P1i tho, no problems.

I like the fact that you can change the headphones, rather than previous sony hands-free devices!


did u update your firmware on your w950?

Hi all,
I have mine for almost a week.
The conclusions:
1. with radio and mp3 it has very good quality. I'd prefered to be a bit more louder.
2. I have problems with mp4 and 3gp. When a movie is playing I hear some scratches and the sounds has a lot of stops. When I use p990i's earphones or my small speakers all is OK (no scrathces and stops). When I use again the HBH-DS200 the problem is back.
3. Because I use them a lot of hours everh day, I must recharge them every one or two days.

Does anyone have the same problem with 3gp and mp4 movies; Can someone test this, please;

I dont's see how as you would still need the normal wired handsfree unit to provide he antenna. In theory, you might be able to plug the wired handsfree in and connect with BT. Tried, but could not get this to work.

Yes, this is what I'm doing with my p990. I use the wired handsfree as antenna. It is working also with a sound adpter (see photo):


Then you must go to options and choose to transfer sound to BT.

I hope I helped you

@kapetannik

Thanks for the tip. Doesn't seem to work on my W850. Can't find the option to transfer to BT. Nothing in the radio settings or bluetooth? Is the option somewhere else? cheers

@Qwest905

Great find! Does indeed do the trick (on W850), nearly blew my ear drums out! lol. A shame there is now down volume option...

@obakesan

1. Connect your BT
2. Plug the antenna (wired headphones or adpater)
3. Open "Mediaplayer" then open "Radio"
4. Press 'more' then 'setup' (or 'options') then 'transfer sound'
5. Select "HBH-DS200" or other Bluethooth device.

You may have a bit different options in your phone. I have p990 with Vodafone menu, and gr language.

* Can someone please test this:
"problems with mp4 and 3gp, when a movie is playing I hear some scratches and the sounds has a lot of stops. When I use p990i's earphones or my small speakers all is OK (no scrathces and stops). When I use again the HBH-DS200 the problem is back."

Thanks

Thanks, but no luck, there is simply no transfer sound to BT option on the radio. Am using W850 with latest firmware.

I have a question as I'm insterested in this headset. If I connect my own earphones and im listening to an mp3 with this thing paired to my n95 and the connection drops for whatever reason, does it mean the sound will be redirected to the n95's speakers?

@ Tregba if you mean the bluetooth headsets connection drops and the headset is not connected to the headset then the sound should return to the speakers.

Are you having problems with this?
Im not fussed about phones/gadgets no more. If im online im in the Non-Mobile discussion

Erm, i'm not entirely sure i understood what you meant! Basically, I want to use my own headphones with the HBH-200. Connect it via bluetooth to my N95. Play an mp3 with the volume full blast on the N95. The sound obviously would be transmitted to the earphones only, right.

However, if for whatever reason the connection drops e.g., I move out of range from the N95 or my body intereferes with the connection. When the connection drops will the mp3 I have on then immediately start playing through the N95's inbuilt speakers or does the track pause?
