Logitech Wireless Headphone for MP3

Question

Hello,
Has anyone tried to use them with a Mac?
I have them and successfully paired them with my PB (BT Built-in).
I know that newer PB's (like mine) have BT2.0 with EDR and support A2DP service, thus a successful connection should be possible...
I could only pair the headphone (using a very "original" pass code of "0000") but once paired they disconnect and I found NO WAY of re-connecting them to the PB, neither initiating connection from the headset - that has only a pushbutton and volume controls - nor from the PB (by the way is there a way to "force" a connection on the PB, maybe using some command-line trick???).
Any help would be appreciated... I'd like to avoid using the adapter in the stereo-out port of my PB.

There are 4 main reasons why I like the Moto headset over the Logitech headset.
1. Comfort. I can wear the Motorola for a much long period of time. The Logitech has hard plastic edges where it makes contact with the head, where as the moto version has a soft rubberized (two-shot) piece in those places. The Moto headset also has nice soft faut leather cushions to cut off external noise and make it a more comfortable fit. The Logitech is just a foam varity designed to cover the speaker and not really cut out external noise.
2. Dual Purpose. The Moto Headset also supports A2DP, AVCRP, Headset and Handsfree profiles, allowing me to use it with both a cell phone and an iPod (w/Naviplay adapter) at the same time. Which allows me to also use it for talking over VOIP, through my computer.
3. Buttons. The buttons on the logitech headset aren't oriented correctly. When you put the headset on the buttons (for Volume Up/Down and forward/reverse) are rotated about 15 to 20 degrees counter clockwise. Which makes it hard to find the buttons. The motorola headset buttons are oriented to be level when worn and not held. Plus the moto buttons are much easier to find.
4. Sound. The sound quality of the Moto headset is so much better than that of Logitech. It handles the basses much better as well as the highs, resulting in a much fuller sound.
So if you know anybody that is going to purchase a Bluetooth Stereo Headset I would advice them to buy the Motorola HT820 Headset over the logitech. The only downside is motorola doesn't make and adapter for the iPod. They do make some USB adapters (w/Windows A2DP/AVCRP Device Drivers) and Stereo System adapters though. If you want an iPod adapter, my favorite is the NaviPlay. It's the most elegant solution of the adapters I have seen. However, if you want to buy the NaviPlay I'd buy the stand alone naviplay dock from HP Shopping dot com. As the Naviplay available via Apple comes as a package solution (IPod Adapter + Wireless Headset Adapter). The HP variety only has the (IPod Adapter) and thus is cheaper.
Hope that helps.
