Hello. This certainly seems to not be the normal behavior. I agree that
with the current firmware, one must use the menu to reach the Bluetooth
section and then turn it on or off, then one must go back into the menu
and then connect with the device. We have seen a few delay issues, which
have been fixed in the new firmware. However I am not seeing Bluetooth
lockup problems with the 1.1 firmware and the two different Sony
headphones we have offered. These are the DR-BT22A and DR-BT101A.
Others subscribed to the list may have the names of other models which
work. The thing everyone needs to realize is that Bluetooth 2.0 and a2dp
is very bandwidth intensive, even more so than the mono phone headset
support. So there are bound to be some delays and sometimes even some
disconnects due to the amount of data being transferred.
If you read reviews of a2dp and stereo Bluetooth headsets, you will find
that not everyone has a positive experience with them and it has zero to
do with accessible technologies. On the other hand, many are having a
positive experience. So one has to read between the lines when reading
reviews.
Me personally, even though the Bluetooth supports stereo, I usually
don't listen to music this way because there is some static from time to
time. This is especially more noticeable during quiet parts of the
music. However I can listen to audio books just fine because I don't
care that much about the stereo quality. However if a little static is
not enough to ruin your listening enjoyment, then the stereo works fine.
We are going to see if HIMS can add support for mono connections which
don't use as much bandwidth and that would be perfect for audio books
since most would want to listen to them in mono anyway.
Many thanks.

Well it has been my experience that the Sony does not work with the
Bookscence. I gave up on it for now. Maybe they will address some of the
Bluetooth issues of not reliable pairing with this upcoming firmware
release. It is my suspision that it was the constant rebooting and
Bluetooth issues that caused me to have to send back my first Bookscense
so I just am not using the Bluetooth. It is not worth the aggrevation.

I was wondering if the Sony blue tooth headset that is referred to on the
G.W. Micro knowledge base is the only Bluetooth headset that works
with the
Booksense?
Or are there certain specs that the Bluetooth headset must meet to
work with
the BookSense?
Could someone please let me know. I may be getting a Bluetooth headset
and
I'd like to see if I can get one that will work with both my Nokia N86
and
the BookSense.
Thank you
