FYI - The Plantronics 590A sports double duty as Headphones and as HEADSET!!! I know there are a few members on this forum who own the 590 but I'm not sure if they have a BT phone paired as well...
... This was an extremely pleasant discovery today!!! :D
I also have a Sony S710A which I originally paired up a few weeks ago before I the "WIDCOM" fix for the X51V, just to play around with the headset to make sure it worked and then I promptly put the entire unit away.
However, I whipped out the 590 headphones and happily applied the 0.38 Widcom fix and I'm listening to my MP3 tunes with no issues. Suddenly my phone rings, my 590a pauses the muic in X51V (note, I said pause not MUTE), and then I hear a ring tone in the 590a. I click on the phone button and I'm connected to my call...
... as I hit the phone button on the 590a to disconnect the call, the X51V starts to play the music, right where it was paused and didn't miss a note!!! ;)
1. Plantronics 590A are expensive $$$$ @ $200.00 (cheaper on Ebay of course)
2. Transport controls (Play, Pause, Skip track forward & Skip track backward) only works in Windows Media player, I tried it with a few others with no success although I was able to hear sounds
3. Full sized headsets, for you fashion mavens out there, you might not like this design
Enjoy!
