About using a headset

You can purchase an optional headset to use with your BlackBerry® device.

If you use a headset, you can use a headset button to answer or end a call, or to turn on or turn off mute during a call. Depending on your device model, you might be able to use a headset button to make a call using a voice command.

Depending on your headset, you might also be able to use a headset button to pause, resume, skip, or adjust the volume of audio or video files.

For more information about using the headset, see the documentation that came with your headset.

About playlists

You can create both standard and automatic playlists for songs. You create a standard playlist by manually adding songs that are on your BlackBerry® device or media card.
