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.

  • 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 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 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.

  • 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

  • The normal value of battery capacity for macbook pro

    Hi there,
         I noticed my battery full charge capacity value is way below the technical specification from Apple.
    For macbook pro 15" early 2011 version a 77.5W battery is built-in.
    However, so far after 4 cycle, my full charge capacity is 6913mAh.
    It seems that I missed something. Though I didn't really notice the initial value when it's brandnew.
         Statistically what's the average value of the new battery will be ? around 75W or 7500mAh? Any idea?

    Best battery info resource is here:

  • I bought the wrong version as I need it for macbook pro but somehow bought windows...help

    I guess I will have to wait until normal office hours.  I have no idea why it bought the window version as I did not realize that is what was selected.  I hope I can get it exchanged for the photoshop elements 13 for macbook pro retina display.     Anyone know if this is an easy switch and one they will do?

    When buying HD versions of shows, only the HD copy will automatically download now (probably due to requests from people who don't need/want the SD version and complained about it being forced on them). The SD copy can be downloaded from your purchases area in iTunes, though. On the main iTunes Store page, go to Purchases under the Quick Links and then select TV shows. Click the "Not On This Computer" button. Uncheck the "Download HD when available" box and you should then see the SD copies of the shows and be able to download them.
    Regards.

  • How can I know if my new internal hd for macbook pro is compatible?

    I have been trying to upgrade my internal HD for macbook pro early 2008 2.4 and have been having a hard time getting it to boot.  Problems with both WD and Seagate.  I am wondering if the problem is with Mavericks.  I got a good back up from Time Machine to load on the hybrid drive.  Then when I try to restart it shows the apply symbol with no chime and then a black screen comes over the blue screen with some code (strange problem I have never seen) I can see that all the data is on the drive.  I was able to partitian in disk utility.  Anything ringing a bell.  I have done several switches like this and this is the first time I have had so much trouble.  I reinstalled my old drive just to make sure there was not another hardward issue and everything is fine there.  In fact I have a new logic board freshly installed by mac. 

    Your machine has a SATA 2 interface and I'm sure the new drives are SATA 3. They should still step down and work though. It's possible your SATA cable is marginal and the newer drive is trying to demand more out of it than the old one did. A good test would be to put the new drive in an external enclosure and see if it works ok from there. If so, it's probably the cable.

    How did you install Mavericks on the new drive?

    toshiba 1.tb and 7200 RPM ?
    Those are same as use by Apple in the non-retina macbook Pro, Ive got piles of them, only a Hitachi is better.
    Toshiba HD are a hair noisy even by Toshiba own admission, but no big deal.
    I would NEVER buy from OWC merely for the reasons that their prices are miserable.
