Scott Posted June 8, 2006 Posted June 8, 2006 Has anyone used this headset? How good is it? I'm looking for a second headset for my phone. My wife has claimed our other one. :)
mrn8 Posted June 8, 2006 Posted June 8, 2006 Get it. :) I use an HS820 and when my wife's phone is upgraded we'll get her one, too. I've literally had my headset and phone connected while I was in our kitchen and the car was on the street. The call quality was still decent at that range.

Have you tried using this with your Axim, Nate? If not, can you please try it for me? I've been looking to get one for Skype use - thanks! :)

I've been looking to get one for Skype use - thanks! :)I've used it for skype on my Axim and the quality was decent. Not quite as good as a wired headset, but more like a cell-phone with average reception.

Not quite as good as a wired headset, but more like a cell-phone with average reception. That's probably good enough for me... wait - what wired headset do you use for your Ax? I've only seen headsets with two plugs - mic & speaker - none with an integrated plug.
Scott Posted June 8, 2006 Posted June 8, 2006 Ordered... we will see how it goes. I may try and use this for skype as well.

I've only seen headsets with two plugs - mic & speaker - none with an integrated plug. I use the wired headset for my laptop, not the Axim. At least on the X30 you could do a mic in.
RossMAN Posted June 8, 2006 Posted June 8, 2006 Is there any special software required to use this with Skype?
mrn8 Posted June 8, 2006 Posted June 8, 2006 No, just connect via bluetooth and Skype will use the headset automatically.
i-bystander Posted June 8, 2006 Posted June 8, 2006 I use the wired headset for my laptop, not the Axim. At least on the X30 you could do a mic in. I see - I thought you were referring to a wired headset for the Ax. This should also work just fine with a BT-equipped laptop, correct?
Scott Posted June 8, 2006 Posted June 8, 2006 I see - I thought you were referring to a wired headset for the Ax. This should also work just fine with a BT-equipped laptop, correct?Yes, it should. We actually used our other BT headset with skype a few times. However, my wife then connected it to her phone and couldn't connect it back to the laptop. It worked well when we were using it.
i-bystander Posted June 8, 2006 Posted June 8, 2006 Yes, it should. We actually used our other BT headset with skype a few times. However, my wife then connected it to her phone and couldn't connect it back to the laptop. It worked well when we were using it. That's exactly my rationale behind that question. Can you marry a headset to more than one device and still get them all to function properly? You should be able to - right? No sense getting a headset for each and every single device you plan on using them on. Anyone else want to share their experience/s... Nate?

Nate?You can do it, but you may need to disconnect it from one device in order to connect it to another. My wife could not figure out how to do this when I was away. We have moved it back and forth between devices many times since.
i-bystander Posted June 9, 2006 Posted June 9, 2006 We have moved it back and forth between devices many times since. Aaah, thank you for the clarification, kind sir... just placed an order. :)

Nate?I use mine with my Razr and with my Axim, so it works with multiple devices. Not BT on my laptop, unfortunately.
Scott Posted June 9, 2006 Posted June 9, 2006 I use mine with my Razr and with my Axim, so it works with multiple devices. Not BT on my laptop, unfortunately.You can always grab a separate BT adapter for your laptop. That is what we did and it works great. I have this one: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16833130023 We paid a little more to get the extra range of 100m, but it works great through several rooms in our house. Nothing like getting up and walking around when you are on skype. :)

If I buy a personal laptop it will have internal BT.
