Review A2DP Bluetooth Headset Sony HBH-DS200 with Leopard 10.5.1

Hello, this is first post...
I'm sorry if my English is not perfect.
I wanted to buy a headset A2DP after discovering that the Leopard supported .... so I decided to create a mini-review.
Yesterday I bought A2DP Bluetooth Headset Sony HBH-DS200
Matching perfect
Stop / Pause link headphones perfect
Quality sound good but not perfect, but its is clear frequencies seem that the clips are (too high frequencies).

Now I wanted to try under bootcamp and see what result to arrive.
At the next update.

PS: Some of you have tried this headset or other headphones a2dp? HTC S100? As a new feature of Leopard seconds you can resolve this problem? Thank you 😀

MacBook, Mac OS X (10.5.1), Last version MacBook with 2.2 Ghz and Core2duo

I recently purchased a Plantronics Voyager 855 stereo headset. It sounds fantastic when used with my music phone, and terrible on Leopard.

Anyone with information about how to tweak the encoding on Leopard: I would love to know how to make it sound better and cut out less.

I just bought the SE HBH-DS220. It sounds really good when connected to itunes as well as to my W910i. I cannot hear any noticable difference between this and when I have a wired connection to the computer or phone. If you turn the volume to max on the clip it even plays a bit louder through the headphones, which is just a plus in my book as they don't distort the sound at all. 🙂

From what I understand it is apple's bluetooth firmware that is causing the audio issue. As your test has shown if you pair up another bt device (phone) the sound is different/better than on os x.

My testing has also concluded this as well. So until they release a firmware upgrade any a2dp streaming with os x will have some issues with audio quality.
