How to listen music on mono bluetooth headset on android phone.

    Mono bluetooth headsets have single stream connections, so you can't stream music on them.  But Nokia phones have option to play music via bluetooth which can play music directly on even mono bluetooth headsets.
A2DP bluetooth headsets are dual stream so music can be directly played on them.


     But if you have mono bluetooth headset and android phone you can't listen music on it but only can make and receive calls. You are stuck :( 
But don't worry, there are few apps on android market which enable you to listen music on mono bluetooth  headset.



BTMono Off

     BTmono is very simple and light weight application available on android market, which can stream your media over mono bluetooth headset.


     For using this app switch on your phones bluetooth, connect your bluetooth with paired bluetooth headset, open BTmono app and click on ON button then android robot on the screen will put it's one hand up and you are ready to go. Then just play music and it will be streamed to your mono bluetooth headset.
BTMono On








There are two versions of this app available on the market, free version and paid one. The only difference that matters is what happens when you get a call while listening to music. On free version when you drop a call received while listening to music, music resumes on speaker instead of bluetooth headset and that is little embarrassing eeew. While on paid version music resumes on headset when a call is dropped. so it's your call to choose free or paid version of BTmono.
The music quality on bluetooth headset using this app is not up to mark and that's because it's mono headset.  But remember this app is really helpful to utilise your otherwise useless mono bluetooth headset.
