Sony Ericsson MW600 Windows 7 Working Drivers

I recently bought Sony Ericsson MW600 Bluetooth earphones. And I was shocked to discover that it didn’t work with my laptop (Thinkpad T410) because neither Microsoft nor Sony Ericsson provide the drivers for Sony Ericsson MW600.

Windows did, however, give me 3 possible action center solutions to choose from. It suggested I needed an updated adapter driver, as well as one for the device. One sent me off to Broadcom, the other to Lenovo. I downloaded the Broadcom driver which looked like it was going to work, but the most I could get out of it was standard hands-free which produced phone quality audio, which sucked.

I uninstall it all and tried the Lenovo driver and voila! Everything working, Media Player track name is displayed on the OLED screen, I can play/pause etc – wonderful. At the time of writing the only thing I have left to test is a simultaneous connection to my phone so I can handle calls while listening to music on my laptop.

Download the Sony Ericsson MW600 Drivers from Lenovo website and off you go.

Note: Since I am using Thinkpad T410 not sure whether this will solve your problem or not.

Alternative to non Thinkpad Users : I saw people talking about Bluesoil drivers as well. It worked for people as per them. But it did not work for me. You can try this option as well if the first one fails. Remember you would need to register and then download the drivers from this website.

Most Important Note : Post installation of drivers you might face the problem where Windows 7 keeps saying could not install drivers for bluetooth headset. To overcome this problem have the device services setup like the screenshot below.

 

 

Update : Reset the headset if it does not work for you

To reset the headset:

  1. Make sure the headset is turned off.
  2. Press and hold down on/off key until the pairing indication appears.
  3. Simultaneously press and hold down On/Off key and call key until the headset turns off.

    Hi,

    I bought the MW600 but i am surprised that i cannot have it connected with two mobile devices simultaneously!!! I can get the pairing done for each one of the devices but to have both of them paired is impossible.

    In case that this is not an option for this bluetooth device i can say that is a uselless piece of machine that someone can buy (since the description is says differently).

    Any help? I really need to have both mobile devices paired the same time and is a no go at the moment.

    Thanks

    Sorry, you can’t use any Bluetooth device simultaneously on 2 or more devices. It’s like you are asking for 2 cars with single engine. not possible.

    Actually, that is not entirely correct, Admin, since this device can be connected to one source of media audio and one source of communication audio. The device automatically pauses the media source when there is comms incoming (like a phone call) and resumes after. That is what it says on the description, Leon, and that is what it does, I’m surprised with your surprise since this is the only device I’ve seen that has even this level of multipairing, do you know of any other device that allows that to be surprised?

    I am no expert in it. But I have been using it but as far as I know Bluetooth device has a limitation to one connection at a time. Talking about this particular model, it works simultaneously with FM and one other Bluetooth connection.

    Greetz from Poland. Your solution works great on my corporate edition of windows 7 (on T410). You’ve saved me a lot of nerves ;) Thank you very much :D
