I had a speaker working in my dining room with Bluetooth. When I tried to move it to a different location it failed to pair, brought the speaker back near the Hopper and it still would not see the speaker. The fix was to do a red button reset.

I like how this is working. The one question I have is, how are people reconnecting after the first time. I powered down my headphones and powered them back up and they did not automatically reconnect. Went into the Hopper Bluetooth menu and it showed up paired but not connected and I couldn't find a connect button. I ended up un-pairing and repairing to reestablish a connection, but I'm probably overlooking a simpler way to achieve that.

Is anyone having the proplem that the sound is not perfectly synched? My headphones are just slightly off, and it is a bit annoying.

I don't see that issue with mine. Have you tried un-pairing and repairing? Is the issue also happening when you aren't using the headphones? I would try rebooting the Hopper.

I tried re-pairing. I will reboot the hopper after it finishes PTAT tonight.

Thanks.

I have 230 on both Hoppers. I have two different Bluetooth ear devices . Went into system, turned Bluetooth on, and paired devices. Devices showed paired & connected. But I get no audio out of either ear device. Rebooted both Hoppers, but I get the same results. Am I missing something here?

I have been able to use an Ihome wireless speaker without any issues and the sound is great. I ordered some wireless earbuds from Amazon I hope they will work without issues. Once they arrive I will test and report back.

Something I haven't noticed yet... What BT protocol is the hopper using? There's 2 or 3 different ones. A key step would be to check the prot the headset uses. I know my headset uses 2 different services on my phone, but only 1 on my ps3 or pc.

I paired Motorola HT820 last night. Slick and easy. These are 5+ years old and work fine with the Hopper.

Does your headset have a play/pause button? On mine if I press this the sound will mute or unmute

No...it has the button which i can push for my phone and give voice commands and then it has a volume up and down...it seems though when I push the voice command button that it is beeping as if its not connected even though it is...

I guess the next step is to ask what are some good headsets that are working right now w/ bluetooth...Santa is just around the corner haha
