Can you pause and play streaming audio on the headset. I listen to audiboooks and need a pause/play feature.

The headset does have a pause/play button. Unfortunately, I was unable to pause with my iPhone 4s (IOS 8.1.2) while listening to music using any of the buttons on the headset.

Yes you can. There is a button on one side of the boom that you can press for 2 seconds to pause/resume audio.

Yes, it's odd since the volume works perfectly. Ok, RTFM to me. The other commentor noted that you have to hold the button for 2 seconds. Solved - thanks. I don't listen to music too much using it since it's only one speaker (mono). When jamming I pull out the Bose headphones. :-)

No, not nativly. You need an app to do it (i use "Headset button controller" but im sure theres others) to skip, fast forward, go back etc. Pause and play does work natively. However the volume buttons will not work with android no matter what.

I set the audio out in setup to 'Fixed" making the audio constant to the Bluetooth. In my case that isn't a problem since I use it with Bluetooth headsets. Without setting the audio to fixed, it mutes when the sound is muted. The sound must be muted in order to not have both on at the same time because the audio to the Bluetooth has a slight delay. To adjust the volume to the headset, I use the volume on the headset as the speaker volume has no effect.

The headset uses A2DP technology to stream music from your phone. I use an iPhone 4S, and it streams not only music but also the sound from YouTube videos, Netflix, Stitcher, etc.

You can't place a call on Mute with this headset. If you hit the Play/Pause button, it answers/ends a call. Swapping calls, or putting calls on hold, requires using your phone.

You need to connect this unit to a pre-amp or amplifier to play through speakers. You can still use headsets at the PHONES port located at the lower right on the front of the unit to listen to music but to hear it on speakers you need an amplifier. Hope this helps you!

Only the pause/play button works on Android - not the volume control buttons. I tried them on the HTC One.

I suggest you get a wireless headphone. You can still use the speaker volume plus volume in the headset. Hope this helps in your query.

You can play offline. The headphones work with the TV, not necessarily the game console. I want to say I've listened to TV before through the headset.

I'm using this Bluetooth Audio Dongle BTI-002 with a TaoTronics TT-BH03 Stereo Bluetooth Headset. When connected to my TV set (in order to watch movies without disturbing others) the only control that I had from the headset was MUTE, which is inherent in the headset. I cannot PAUSE/PLAY either a movie or an iTunes song that is playing thru the transmitter connection.

Yes, at least for Android, disable the phone headset bluetooth profile in the phone settings for this device. Audio streaming is a separate profile. Works everyday in my Nissan Rogue.

Only the middle button to stop or start tracks and end answer calls. The top and bottom buttons don't work. However that's a problem with almost all headsets on android. The sound quality is amazing.

You will need to make sure your headset has A2DP. Usually this means, the headset can take calls and stream music via a bluetooth connection. Your headset will only handle calls. It will pair with your headset, however I don't know if it will function as you would like. You can purchase headphones with the A2DP profile and they will work with this player.

No only the pause/play button works the volume doesn't. For me that really didn't bother me. Sounds very good

This worked for me also. I accidentally missed step 3, but it found the headset anyway. I had trouble getting it to connect (right click on headset in bluetooth device menu -> Control then pushing the connect button), but after a couple off/on cycles of the headset and hitting the connect button after turning on, it finally connected and now I have music playing. Thanks to OP for solution.

Hi rick. Not sure what Sony has, but you have an on/off switch for noise cancelling and can pause your music with another button. However there is no actual need to switch off the noise cancelling, as this let conversation pass. It can cancel certain types of noise

Your best bet is to find an app that does that. don't rely on the headset it self to do it.. or you will be disappointed
