i know 2 phones cant be paired to the SAME headset at the same time, so theres an active link to both phones, but i wanted one that could toggle between 2 phones so if either of them ring i can just press the bluetooth headset button so it will answer the call


My friend you are a bit mistaken. A headset can be multi-point and multi-paired at the same time. The difference is that with a multi-point headset, it can ONLY link to one phone in an active conversation at a time. Example, the Plantronics 640 ( I have one, is paired to both my k800i, my Nokia E61, and my MacBook Pro concurrently). The rub comes in if: I am making a phone call with my E61 and headset connected, and then my k800i rings, the headset will ignore any attempts to make a connection and will continue the connected conversation with the E61.

So, as you can see, you can have one headset paired to many different phones at the same time.

lol, thanks for the info

i already konw this info, i just failed to explain my self properly

this is what i want to do:

i have 2 phones, both are in my pocket.

if phone number 1 rings you press the button on the headset to answer, you talk and you hang up.

if phone number 2 rings you press the button on the headset twice (dependant on headset option) to answer, it will automatically switch to phone number 2, you talk and you hang up.

obviously if both phones ring at the same time, the headset will only be able to answer the one (primary) phone.

i have 2 phones and i just want a headset that will work with both phones without the need for me to trawl through the phone menu's and search for bluetooth>pair etc etc

i hope that makes it clear

Got you. I understood from the start.

Check the Nokia headsets, get the Plantronics 640 and you are in business.

Hi Folks,

I've not changed my headset for a while (HBH-10, HBH-60, HBH-65, HBH-610), so maybe the market has changed, but as I understand it....

On my HBH-60 - so we're talking about a headset a few years old - I could pair to up to 5 phones. ie. each phone would know about the headset, and if they rung, they would pipe the call through to the headset. The headset could store pairings (ie. IDs) with up to 5 phones. So if any of these devices rung, the headset would ring, and pressing the answer button would connect the call. No need to select which phone, press any buttons twice, or three times, or whatever.

Of course, the headset didn't have complex call handling, so if originating a call from the headset, it would automatically connect to the last-paired device - usually my t68.

Isn't this still the case? Can any of these new devices seamlessly just accept calls from multiple devices, or do you now have to select each device manually?


Also - if anyone wants to suggest a headset that can replace the HBH-60... ie. small, light, comfortable ear-loop, easy to slip on/off, discrete / matt finish, decent bluetooth range - please let me know! I tried out an HBH-610 a while back: shiny finish was a pain, design looked too 'stick-like', and the DSP was over-zealous. And I only wedge things in my ear if there's a medical necessity.

What is Multipoint?

Multipoint is a new development in Bluetooth technology that allows your Bluetooth Headset to be connected to two Bluetooth devices at the same time. When a call comes in, the headset knows which handset is ringing and will connect to the phone automatically.

Multipoint can benefit most Bluetooth Headset users. It is ideal if you have to carry around a work phone and a personal phone but don’t want the hassle of having two separate headsets. If you use VOIP telephony at home, but don’t want to be tied down to sitting in front of your PC, Multipoint means you can pair your compatible Bluetooth Headset to your PC and your mobile and no matter which phone rings, the call will come through to your headset.

It’s not just business user that can benefit though, with more MP3 and music systems streaming music via Bluetooth, Multipoint means you can be listening to music on your Stereo Bluetooth Headset or Bluetooth Headphones from your stereo or MP3 player, and when a call comes in, the music will pause/mute allowing you to answer the call on your mobile phone. Music playback will automatically resume once you end your call.

What Multipoint Devices are available?

The range of Multipoint enabled devices is growing quickly, with most new Bluetooth Headsets now supporting multipoint. More recently we’ve seen Multipoint technology find its way into Bluetooth Simple Car Kits, great if both driver and passenger need to go handsfree in the car.
