I've been using these for a few weeks and they work great.

I've been using the Sony DR-BT50 for the past few months, and while the sound is excellent, connecting to bluetooth is not. For some reason, the iPad disconnects the headphones after 5-10 seconds. This occurs at least 2-3 times before it stays connected.

Has anyone else had this problem with their Sony DR-BT50's? Just wondering if this is a known issue.

I am unable to control the volume either using the iPad controls or the Jabra Halo controls. Haven't been able to find anything related to that yet. Any suggestions?

How do you connect to the iPad? I have the DR-BT50 which works great on my MacBook but on my iPad (in Settings, bluetooth) it just searches and searches.

I would suggest a pair of motorola S9 HD headphones from allthingswireless.co.uk (only suitable for UK & European members. This device by far looks the most slick and offers great sound quality.

I would have to say the Nokia BH-505 beasuse in my opinion look the best and have awesome sound / base quality. I went for these as I didn't just want a pair for my ipad but for my iPhone too. The conectivity on both is also fantastic. You can purchase from ebay and amazon but I'm always bit reluctant to buy from them!! If your from the United Kingdom I used All Things Wireless link is http://www.allthingswireless.co.uk

Which offers £17 for a bluetooth adapter that our actual AppleStore UK just sold me the identical item for £9.95. I might shop around.

Can you Pair two sets of headphones to the same iPad?

My fiancée and I take lots of long train journeys to visit friends and family. It would be nice if we could both watch the same movie on the same iPad using our own pairs of headphones. Has anyone actually tried this, and is there enough Bluetooth bandwidth to cope?

is ther an apple headphones for ipad ipod iphone ???

I bought the Sony's mentioned above, while they do work good, they don't automatically pick up the ipad. You have to go into setting's - Bluetooth every time and connect. Not pair, just connect. Maybe I'm missing something

How did you even connect the hbh-is800 sonny ericsson to the iPad? My iPad 3 won't even see it as an available device. Thanks

Same thing happened to my hbh-is800 sonny erricson.

The Sony DR-BT50 has been discontinued so I went with the Jabra REVO and I'm not sure that these can be topped!

The Ausdom M05 Bluetooth headphones come with some great features. They can be used wired or wirelessly and have dedicated music control buttons.
