The Zumo has Bluetooth, but not stereo Bluetooth. You would have to use a bluetoothe dongle that supports AD2P. I believe Jabra make such a thing but I don't know the specifics. If you are interested in learning more about the Zumo (from expert users), do a google search, key phrase "Zumo Forum". There you will find anything/everthing you need to know.Shawn

if you really want to get the most out of your Zumo, check out this video tutorial on youtube. It shows how to use a Camos 600 stereo bluetooth headset and a D1000v bluetooth 2.0 stereo adapter. This is the ultimate set up that truly brings the Zumo to life. If you pick up another adapter, make sure that it is not only a2dp, but also bluetooth 2.0. The sound quality is night and day. The d1000v also has a built in amplifier so you can crank up the sound a little more. Using this set up all the sound coming off the Zumo is wireless and stereo and you have complete cell phone integration. And YES, if you have the xm, it will send that in wireless stereo as well.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gd1auBnI_dw if you really want to get the most out of your Zumo, check out this video tutorial on youtube.

Yes, you can buy "stereo" head set unit for Blue tooth. Make sure you have enough helmet room. (Helmets are required to hear the unit) But if you have a louder bike, still may be hard hearing. Garmin needs to put a FM transmitter on the 550.

How can I get audio for my Goldwing with my Zumo 550? I have a mount but no speaker with it? Thanks DadMulder

You should check the headphones max input it shouldn't exceed 1A otherwise you could damage the headphones, as far as I know samsung phones wall charger output is 1A

1st a question, does the headphone jack in your TV work ? How loud is the volume coming out of the jack ? It needs to be some what loud. It was my experience that the Boostarroo did not amplify the volume very much at all. The Boostaroo was a better splitter than amplifier.. Good Luck, Mike

A. Vargas- yeah, when I use the "soft" off and turn it back on, it reconnects with my chocolate phone and allows calls to be made through the Mio. Weird. Problem solved, albeit through some bug. Hopefully, it will be addressed in firmware updates. I agree you on the 2.5mm jack- why in the world did they choose 2.5 instead of 3.5? And yes, the volume is a little too low for my taste. I added an aux-in to my factory headunit, and whenever I switch from the GPS to my regular stereo, the volume difference always bugs me. Otherwise, a good and useful toy. If you want to charge the Mio through the mount, you can purchase the optional power cradle. A.

Hi! I have not been able to make my AQY work ether. I was trying to make it work with a Creative Blue tooth speaker and was never able to get it to pair up at all. Not having any printed instructions was no help ether. I wish you better luck than I've had.tao

The manual doesn't show any ay to plug in earphones. There is a lead for an external speaker, but no jack to plug in earphone.

I recently purchased this speaker but when I connected to ZUNE HD player it produces low output, which you can hear only if placed near your ears. any solution?

That is a connector only giving you a line level output. Add a good quality amp such as the FiiO 6 and you may hear an improvement in sound with good earphones. This is what I do for high quality listening. Maybe test your dock connector on some other device to make sure you don't have a more serious problem first.

There is a headphone jack on the rear which works with my ear bugs but does not provide enough output to drive an external speaker except with very low volume.. I suspect that with a small external amplifier, an external speaker would work fine.

This is only a 32Ohm unit and you maybe used to a 50Ohm unit ... so you maybe over driving the max output of the headphones. Mine are pretty loud and actually respond better on my mobile than others. I did notice a huge difference when I plugged them into a soundboard that I normally use 50Ohm headphones. (Your output device may not work well at 32Ohms.) But at the max volume when they start to distort is way too loud for me and I don't want to loose hearing.

Hi,that doesnt work. Bluetooth doesnt give this advantage. Best regards,Jens

Sure, I tested the "sound leak" from the Sony MDR 1R Premium for you. I turned my Zune up to above normal listening volume, I then placed the headphones on a roll of toilet paper (cans in), I could not detect any sound leakage from as little as 1 foot away (the soft ear cushions work great for holding sound IN - however read on). Now as far as passive noise cancellation is concerned - these phones truly SUCK. The sound is so realistic with these phones on, that I sometimes have to remove the headset to see if someone is calling me or if one of the tracks musicians got a bit carried away. But more than once out in my backyard man cave, I removed the headphones when I heard voices, and to my surprise it was my next door neighbors talking to each other. I could hear them WITH the headphones on and playing music, and these chatting neighbors were at least 30 feet away on the other side of a six foot cinderblock fence. The soft ear cushions seem to have a big problem when it comes to keeping noises OUT. Ergo the passive isolation sucks IMHO. Do I care? HELL N....er, I mean, not at all....I bought these for their remarkable sound. And I am not disappointed. Hope this helps

i am trying to help my father with is severe hearing loss. I am thinking to connect the 770 to a quality headset equalizer / preamp. Then a little blue toothe transmitter would be in charge of sending the signal to a high quality blue tooth headset. would the 770 perform in such a setup? I would really appreciate either tech and non tech answer. Thanks a lot!

This may not answer your question but I bought the boostaroo so I could hear movies on my tablet when I was flying which I couldn't with just earbuds. It works great but I also stopped using earbuds and got a cheap pair of headphones ($12.99) that helped cancel out the outside/engine noise. So it definitely boosts the sound quite a bit and better earphones will help even more.

I used the bluetooth adapter, getting better sound than aux. also drain battery quicker. must be in direct sunlight.

There is a different dual-PTT model which does have the output connector for an earpiece. It is on another site. That big one started to sell Pez dispensers (a myth).
