Bluetooth Stereo and Treo 680

[webwanderer]

Aloha 'Nauts, and here are my issues/questions.

I want to buy a STEREO BLUETOOTH HEADSET and I want to make certain the device is compatible with my Treo 680 and Pocketunes (v4.0.6).

First, I think I need to install the Softick Audio Gateway software to make my 680 A2DP compatible; is this correct? And if this IS correct, will any and all stereo bluetooth headsets then be compatible?

Second, many online vendors don't give compatibility info on their website. So I'm wondering if there exists any website that lists ALL stereo bluetooth headsets compatible with the Treo 680? To date, I haven't found one.

I'd really appreciate any help you 'Nauts can give as I'd like to make the purchase this weekend.

Michael,

First, yes you're right in needing to install Audio Gateway, but as whether any stereo BT headset will work is another matter. Tho' vendors don't publish compatibility info at their sales website, if you like the specs on a certain headset, I'd contact the manufacturer prior purchase to confer on compatibility with your 680. Softick Audio Gateway has chart of supported headset as well in it's users guide. I'm using a Moto S9 which can control Pocketunes and answer calls without touching the Treo, I'm sure there are others with those capabilities, I'm just not familiar with them. Others here will have favorites as well.

Ok, after hours of researching over a dozen different devices, I just purchased the Cardo S2 stereo bluetooth headphones.

I'll make a post about them when I receive them.

Thanks again 'Nauts.
