I have a good BT headset, but I must have a wired headset for my 5800. Sometimes I have to use my phone when I'm out and about and on call. It's critical my connection not be interrupted with a patient if BT drops the call, etc.</p> <p>I've always used Nokia phones and I know they aren't always the "friendliest" with after market headsets.</p> <p>For home use (trying to consolidate everything into my new 5800 for work, if possible), I tried to use my Bose headphones with Bose's mobile phone adaptor with microphone plugged in.</p> <p>With the Bose headset WITHOUT the microphone for phone use, music sound was great and volume adjustment range was equally great.</p> <p>With the Bose headset WITH Bose's in-line microphone adapter for cell phone use, the person I was testing it on with could hear me crystal clear ... the problem was they were barely - and I mean BARELY - audible on my end. Their voice was crystal clear but like the volume was turned all the way down ... only I had the 5800's volume all the way up.</p> <p>Do I need to adjust a 5800 setting I'm not finding/figuring out as a noob? All I can find in the manual about headsets is: <em><strong>"You can connect a compatible headset or compatible headphones to your device. You may need to select the cable mode."</strong></em></p> <p>But the manual doesn't say anymore than that and I can't find anything else on it.</p> <p>I thought about purchasing Etymotic's HF2s, but I don't if they'd be compatible with my 5800 - they are compatible with the iPh0ne 3G, but that's all the info I can get.</p> <p>Sorry for the length of my maiden post. I need to find a good wired pair of headphones and/or headset I can use on the go. BlueTooth is great, but far from perfect for critical business calls no matter how high end. I can <strong>not</strong> have dropped calls as a result of BT on my emergent work related calls.</p> <p>TIA for any help.</p> <p>Great forum - as time permits, I'm enjoying reading the messages and have already picked up some great tips and fixes.</p> <p>Regards to All,<br /> Debra </p>
