RE: SV: Problems with Bluetooth on a laptop

[John Gurd]

Hi Brian
I seem to have the model 50. I did try removing the other Bluetooth dongle
having belatedly realised it could be a cause of interference but it made no
difference. Are you getting a good range from yours with no dropouts?

John

Hi John,
Remember to disable the Bluetooth radio on your pc if you have one.
Else it will interfear.

Hi, john
As far as I can tell there are 2 editions. A model 40 and a model 50.
Maybe you should just ask for a replacement.

Best regards
Brian

Sadly, I'm sending my Avantree adapter back to Amazon because I keep
experiencing dropouts and the range seems only to be a few feet. It's a
great shame because My Plantronics Back-Beat Pros sound really good using it
(better than my iPhone does) no doubt due to being able to take advantage of
the ADPTX format. Also the latency Is very good but I can't get past the
short range and dropouts. Don't know if it's faulty or what. I've tried it
in a number of ports and even a powered hub but no Joy.

John

I've just ordered one of these as well for my PC. My present USb Bluetooth
dongle has terrible latency and is useless for audio. I got it on Amazon UK
for £24.99.

RE: Plantronics Back-Beat Pros

[John Gurd]

Hi Dane

The Back-beat Pros are really designed for listening to music. They are 4.1
Bluetooth headphones with APTX. They can connect to two devices at the same
time. I use them with my iPhone and iPod. They are full over ear and very
comfortable. They have good noise cancellation which can be turned on or off
and there is a button to drop the music volume and turn on the external
mikes if someone is talking to you in the room. You can take them off and
rest them flat on your collar and they stop the music and resume again when
you return them to your ears. The controls are large and full-featured
regarding pause, play, back and forward. They sound very good for Bluetooth
headphones and even better as I discovered yesterday with ATPX. Normally the
Bluetooth range is very good but not so with the Avantree Device. Normally
with Voice Over they are very laggy although this disappeared when I used
them with the Avantree and my PC due to the ATPX low latency feature. Of
course this isn't available with an iPhone. 

I'm not sure how good they would sound for chat as I've never used them for
that. Well, I've just phoned a friend to find out. She says they sound okay
from her end but she can tell I'm on a mobile. She sounded very clear to me
but I noticed the automatic volume control seemed to kick in a couple of
times quite abruptly when her voice popped. If you want them for chat I
think you could do better. They have no boom mike for this. 

Regards

John

Hi John!

Can you tell me more about this headset, is it an in the ear device or over
the ear? I'm looking for another Bluetooth headset for chatting but want
something better than that dreadful Logitech H800 headset, its good with
Wireless USB but bloody rottin on its ancient Bluetooth protocol.

I have my MM550's from Senheiser of course but.. well.. don't like using
those every day and I would like to get something with a boom microphone if
at all possible.
