Bluetooth Stereo Headsets for MacBook Pro.

Hi guys, months ago I purchased a Jabra bluetooth headset (Jabra BT135). It works for Skype and iChat but not exactly up to my expectations. Later on I learned that some mobile phones can stream wirelessly music to bluetooth headsets. The new technology that allows that is called (at least by Sony Ericsson) A2DP. My mobile (SE W810i) doesn't have that feature but it's okay, I don't think I need that, especially if it's my plan to upgrade to an iPhone asap.
The question is (excuse me if I took too long), are the current MBP able to transmit "high quality stereo music" just like those mobiles are? I just got my MBP, I'd hate to think that it's behind in that sense.
I was thinking of a headset such as the model DR-BT30Q from Sony because it has a microphone built-in.
Thanks in advance.

"Is there an USB adpater for the Mac so that it will locate the Dell keyboard."
What do you mean? Regardless, how do you know that the Dell KB is working? "Wouldn't you really like a Dell?" No. I would not.

Bluetooth stereo headsets for E61i?

As E61i does not support A2DP there are no Nokia bluetooth stereo headsets available. But are they totally incompatible or just working mono then? Asking because my notebook supports A2DP and I just need ONE headset for both...

Hi,
I think that the adapters are the same. You just need to check that both support stereo sound and look about the same.
And of course, you can always go to a shop and test them. (Which is probably best in any case, since what might be the best for someone might not be best for everyone else.)

Bluetooth Headset for MacBook Pro

Hi,
Got a new 15" MacBook Pro a few weeks ago and have been having issues with my Nokia bluetooth headset when using with Skype. It connects ok but there seems to be alot of static in the earpiece when in use. I understand that there are some issues with different headsets but if anyone can recommend a good bluetooth headset that will work well with Skype it would be a great help.
Thanks,
Paul

I have the Jaybird JB-200 bluetooth headphones. I have never used them with Skype, but I use them all of the time with my MacBook Pro and iPhone.

Bluetooth headset for MacBook pro and iPhone

Is there a recommended Bluetooth headset I can pair with my iPhone and MacBook pro and do things like:
iPhone:
Take call
Listening to music and podcasts
MacBook Pro:
Listening to music and podcast
Skype calls
Google Voice calls
Face time
YouTube
Etc...
At the same time it would need at least 8 hours of talk and or play time battery.
Has somebody built such thing? If not we should do a kickstarter...
Thank you for your recommendations

Try to look at: http://www.jabra.com/
The ones compatible with the iPhone work with Skype too on a Mac, I don't know about other services.

Bluetooth VoIP Headset for MacBook?

Has anyone come across a Bluetooth headset that works well—that is, sounds tolerable—with a MacBook for VoIP communications?
My Plantronics Voyager 510 is close to worthless.

Today I bought a Plantronics Voyager PLT 510 and tried it with the Mac Pro and Macbook Pro 17". It worked fine with both. The QuickPair feature worked also: It took much less time to pair as in my previous Anycom headset.
I also finally managed to connect Anycom HS-790 that I wrote about yesterday. I removed all bluetooth devices that were registered in my computer. In my Macbook Pro it was a wireless Mighty Mouse and my Mac Pro it was a PDA. My Anycom HS-790 is two years old and I used it with the Macbook Pro and 10.4. before. Now it seems to work also with Leopard: The sound output is OK, but this device has a rather poor input quality. This is the reason why I baught a Plantronics.

Headset for MacBook Pro

What would be the best headset to use with the MacBook Pro? I have a headset that works fine on a PC, but apparently the Mic in port on the MBP needs a preamp signal.
What USB headsets exist that work with the MBP

I'm not sure, but I use my motorola bluetooth headset. Its convenient because i also use it for my phone. Look into a bluetooth headset, you might find you like it more than a wired one.

HT3563 How do I change a bluetooth profile on my macbook pro from headset to headphone (a2dp) audio only so it will not conflict in my multipoint stereo headset shared with my iphone.

I have a LG HBS-700 bluetooth stereo headset and "in order to access Multi-Connection mode, at least one of the two devices you are trying to connect to the HBS-700 must be able to select a profile, OR one of the two devices must only support one profile (Either Headset/Hands-Free or A2DP/AVRCP). For example: Two handsets which support both the Headset/Hands-Free and A2DP/AVRCP profiles cannot be connected to the HBS-700 simultaneously. But, one handset supporting Headset/Hands-Free/A2DP/AVRCP and a Bluetooth Stereo Dongle supporting only A2DP/AVRCP is OK".

Backup your computer. You may have to replace the HD.
Try repairing disk.

No Sound Bluetooth Stereo Headset - MB Pro running Win XP SP3 via Bootcamp

I have a MacBook Pro Running Windows XP SP3 via Boot camp and I recently purchased a Rocketfish Bluetooth Stereo Headset. I am able to Pair the Headset to the MacBook Pro but I am unable to hear anything playing through them. I have checked to make sure that the volume is turned up. I think the problem might be driver related but, according to the Rocketfish support there isn't a specific driver for the headset. I'm not sure how to get the headset working. One other thing to note is that the headset works perfectly with my Iphone 4.
I guess my questions are...
How do I find an updated driver for the built in bluetooth on the MacBook Pro?
Does anyone know how to fix the problem that I am having?

So, finally I found what worked for me: Re: Full Bluetooth functionality in Bootcamp (audio, A2DP, FTP, OBEX) third variant, none of first 2 worked.. The only trouble was to find the correct link since on Acer site there is no download link. I've googled for "Bluetooth_Atheros_7.4.0.96_W7x64_A.zip" since this is the archive the guy is actually talking about. The 4th link on google was http://www.laptop-software.com/Acerdriversdownload.php?GDFiles/Driver/Bluetooth/ Bluetooth_Atheros_7.4.0.96_W7x64_A.zip?acerid=634556349384706773&Step1=Notebook& Step2=Aspire&Step3=Aspire%204830Z&OS=721&LC=en&BC=Acer&SC=PA_6 and I chose to downlad from the first download link. Then the steps are:
1) unzip the folder
2) don't look for x64 or x32, there is only a one installer called "Bluetooth_Suite_win7"
3) install Bluetooth_Suite_win7
4) after it installs Windows starts downloading and recognizing drivers, I don't know how it actually works, but it also downloaded and recognized the unrecognized before drivers for my Bluetooth headset.
5) Restart Windows
6) Turn on headphones - they connect automatically, everything works and works great, the quality of sound is exactly the same as it was on Mac OS, nothing that would bother me.
****, it took me 2 full days... finally...

Can you use the mic of a bluetooth stereo headset on an iPod touch 2G w/ fi

Hi guys.
I have a Dell bluetooth stereo headset with mic incorporated.
I want to use this to have conversations with my iPod touch, using voip software.
Can this be done? I'm asking because when I pair the headset with my iPod, the new voice notes app says I don't have any mic.
In case it can't be done, can I use my headset with an added mic, connected to the audio plug in in the touch? I referring to something like this:

Can I use Bluetooth earphones with my Macbook Pro?

Can I use Bluetooth earphones with my Macbook Pro?
If so, are there any problems and/or limitations in doing so? (i.e. no stereo sound, or anything else?).

Can you use Bluetooth earphones simultaneously with the Magic Mouse (which is also Bluetooth)?
And, just out of curiosity, why can't you use the Bluetooth earphones on an airplane?

Any way to connect external mic (gaming headset) to macbook pro?

I just made the mistake of buying a gaming headset that has the two audio jacks, input and output. Realizing that Macs dont have the right audio input port now. Before I take them back, is there any way I could get them to work? The sound is fine, but the mic doesn't work obviously. But I do have a pair of wireless Turle Beaches that I use for my Xbox 360, is there anyway I could take some of the connections from that to get this headset to work? Or do I just need to take it back and get a USB headset.

Most MacBook Pros have both audio in and out, so I don't see any reason why you couldn't use the headset you just bought. I haven't seen any 2012 models, but on older models (my 2011, for instance) the audio out is in front and audio in on the rear of the front left-hand side of the computer. If you have these ports, try them to see if your headphone/mic works before returning it.
Good luck,
Clinton

Bluetooth not working on Macbook Pro

The bluetooth functionality on my Macbook Pro is no longer working. It has been intermittent for some time, but now does not work at all.

Make a Genius Bar appointment or see an authorized service provider and have the Bluetooth hardware tested.

For Macbook Pro Mid2010: Why not build a WiFi based AirDrop solution between iOS8 and Yosemite? Really sad it does not work.

That model was made for the Iphone so I am going to imagine it is not compatible.
I know of some wired that have play/pause button on them, however if you are looking for play, pause, vol and call answer you might be better served with a bluetooth headphone.

I already have a bluetooth headset. The problem is when I am in our data center floor I get too much interference over bluetooth and it becomes basically unsuable. The reason why I am looking for a wired stereo headset.
You can try checkingout the V-moda Vibe duo, or take a look at this list of headsets that have all been tested with the DX. I don't think you will find one that covers all the features you want though, might have to compromise on one of them.
