Hi,
Did you solve your problem? Could you pair the Blackbeat 903 headset with your MacBook Pro, because I have the same problem. The Mac just does not find the headset.

thx

sorry for the repeat question, but I forgot to click the notify me via email box! when using with your cell phone, does the person on the other end of the call hear you well?

The problem is that you're running an old version of iPhone OS. Stereo Bluetooth support for music and video arrived with iPhone OS 3.0. Once you upgrade the phone's OS, you will get music on the headphones.

Hi Kevin,

I got a new pair of Backbeat 903 and connected with Sony Ericsson W810i. However, when I am trying to get it discovered by my MacBook Pro, it does not get detected. I could not understand why that happens.

Can you suggest what I should do? I would be very greatful if you could send a response to my email ID.

Thanks, Gopal

If your thinking about getting the 903's, I say go for it, I was a little scepticle at first since they are not truely in-ear phones, but I was shocked with the quality and performance that I found in them. Charging for a lil over 3 hours, I used these pretty much non-stop for about 5-6 hours and they still had juice when I powered them down, so Joe stop whining about the charging, its not so bad, if you want wireless then you obviously have to charge at some point. Sound quality is great and because they have special earbuds you can still hear outside sounds especially high frequency sounds like sirens and such. Everyone says they hear me clearly and its definately clear on my end. One con that I have noticed to these besides the difficult muteing as Kevin mentioned, (btw, I've got that down to a science now.) is that when my cell goes to the lock screen, it auto disables the track selection option on the 903s, if I unlock it, it works again, no problem. They are very comfortable and easy to manage. I am using them with the Samsung Moment, I can lower the volume extremely low in a quiet setting and hear everyone talking around me, ofcourse the volume on the Moment doesnt disable itself as the iPhart, (I mean iPhone)does. Cant wait for the htc EVO to come out!! Over all I give these lil guys a 10/10, not sure I could do w/out them, now that I have experienced them. Well worth the money.

ps: Great moves Kevin!

I recently bought a Sprint hero, paired it,with my backbeat and it worked fine for one day. Now it is like it is dead. Cannot charge, no light or response of any kind. Bought a new backbeat and the same thing happened after only a couple of hours! What's. Happening!? Lile
