Universal Bluetooth headset-deskphone adapter?

Looking for a solution that will let me use a Bluetooth headset with iPhone and my office phone.
(Complication: the office phone is a Cisco IP phone, not analog line.)
I know of the Plantronics "Voyager 510 USB" with Bluetooth adapter, which is said to enable their 510 headset to be used with both cell phones and desk phones, including the Cisco IP phone.
http://www.plantronics.com/northamerica/enUS/products/cat6180084/cat6180085/prod5530003
But that locks you into a Plantronics headset (I don't believe the adapter works with non-Plantronics headsets).
Is there a product out there that does the same thing but is not tied to any one headset vendor?
I've searched over the Internet and have found nothing else that is said to work with Cisco IP phone.
Any ideas?

I was in the same boat as you, and I bought a Jabra A7010 Bluetooth Hub. I got it from DealExtreme for somewhere in the ballpark of $50, and it took about 2 weeks to get to Texas from Hong Kong.
I've been very happy with it so far. It works with several different bluetooth headsets that I've tried, and if you use a Bluetooth 2.0 headset, the iPhone and the Jabra hub will both stay connected to the headset quite nicely. I've also used it with the good ol' Plantronics 510, but I'm having reconnection issues with that headset and the iPhone. (It works great with the Jabra box though... it effortlessly reconnects after going out of range.)
You can also get the handset lifter for that hub, which adds ring detection capability, for $30ish.

JETech H0781 bluetooth headset won't work.

I bought the JETech® H0781 Universal Bluetooth Headset from Amazon. It said in the title that it was compatible with the 4s. It plays music okay and the microphone works with Siri, but when I take a call, neither me or the caller can hear me, and I can't hear the caller. She says she only hears her own voice playing back. Now, am I supposed to adjust some settings on the phone, or is it a glitch with the IOS 8?

It does work with phone calls in the user guide. But I tried it again after posting this, it did the same thing, but actually worked once I moved away, so it seems I was just too close. Sorry for wasting anyone's time here.

Best adapter for a Motorola HS-850 bluetooth headset

Hello,
I just purcahsed a Motorola HS-850 Bluetooth headset for my cell phone, and wanted to use it to make skype calls aswell. What are my choices for a USB bluetooth adapter (dongle)??? I would prefer something that isn't the D-link (far to expensive) but works just as well. Im not really sure what to go for?

The D-Link DBT-120 is the only adapter officially supported by Apple, with firmware updates etc. So if you want to guarantee the best compatibility with your Mac, that's the one to get. Try eBay if you want to save some cash.
Buying a cheaper one may be a false economy, because if you do have problems, you'll end up having to buy another one anyway.

Is the SL3100 Bluetooth Headset adapter pairab

Can I pair any bluetooth headset to the Creative SL300 adapter?

Our local Apple store has had it since the same
day
as the iPHone release.
I don't use bluetooth headsets so I can't give you
a
review, but I am sure others will. Also, do a
search
of this forum for Bluetooth Headset
This is likely a third party headset, not the
official Apple Bluetooth headset.
Without a doubt...but I'd love to hear the location of the store where they've been released! ;D

No sound on my Sony Bluetooth Headset because Windows 7 can't find Bluetooth peripheral device driver

SO, I am dealing this problem for the second day in a row and no working solution still. I own the latest iMac 2014 (though the model is exactly as 2013) 2,7 Ghz with Bluetooth 4.0, I've installed through Bootcamp Windows 7 x64. My bluetooth headset Sony DR-BTN200 http://store.sony.com/bluetooth-headphones-zid27-DRBTN200//cat-27-catid-All-Home -Theater-Headphones (which is on Bluetooth 3.0 and of 2013 year model) is working fine with Mavericks and Yosemite on my MBP, but not working as it should on iMac with Windows 7..
THE PROBLEM: I find the headset, connect it, but afterwards Windows writes that no drivers for Bluetooth peripheral device were found (3 or 4 encriptions like this, so, 3-4 drivers needed). The headset itself guarrantees fine working with Windows 8, the producer doesn't give any drivers to install, you won't find them on Sony's website - it should work as plug-n-play, they say those drivers are preinstalled on Windows 8.
WHAT I'VE TRIED: So, the problem, as I've read from many-many-many sources is common for everybody running Windows on Mac devices. In cases with notebooks it is easy to solve (if you know it) - download the Bluetooth software from Broadcom (the producer of Bluetooth adapters/receivers of Macs) http://www.broadcom.com/support/bluetooth/update.php - install, it finds the devices and istalls correct driver. This worked with my MacBook Pro 2010, on iMac it stucks on recognizing devices - nothing happens next, like it doesn't recognize any bluetooth device. Downloading many other drivers packages didn't help either, nor Toshiba Bluetooth helpers could detect Bluetooth headset to properly download the correct drivers (though it was already recognized by Windows, just couldn't connect properly), nor different other programs like Bluesoleil, Blue manager and so on.
On other notebooks and computers many try to install manually the drivers, usualy Microsoft Windows mobile-based device support. I've tried to install many drivers, all of the Broadcom drivers I've found (including the Broadcom Bluetooth 3.0 USB driver that makes the headset work on MBP), and I must say that Windows recognizes (doesnt show the yellow triangle next to the icon of the driver) only for the Microsoft Windows mobile-based device support driver. Though it's like that, the sound still is not playing out of my headset. On MBP after the drivers were installed, I chose the device in Printers and devices and there was an option of Control (maybe I remember the name wrong), it went first in the right-click menu, and aftewards there was a page were I could connect my headset through ticks/checks on different options. Nothing like this appears if I install any of the drivers on iMac (nor Broadcom, nor Win mobile-based). I must also mention, that some kind of package that I've downloaded from Toshiba or Acer's Broadcom Bluetooth kit, I don't remember, installed some bluetooth drivers (Bluetooth Audio, "receiver" if I recall it correctly and 2 more), that were recognized as right drivers for peripheral device when I connected my headset, but even then - no sound came out of the headset.
HELP ME: What shoud I do? I've tried all of the methods that are on the net. Sony store won't help me out, because the problem is not in the device - it's in the software/hardware of "your iMac". The headset works with Mac OS, should work fine with fully-Windows PCs, it just doesn't with iMacs on Bootcamp Windows. The interesting thing is that updating windows to Windows 8 might also not help, since Sony guarrantees only work on pre-shipped with Win 8 devices, not with the upgraded devices. I do think the problem is with drivers, that Mac's Bootcamp utility doesn't come with pre-installed Bluetooth drivers for connecting Bluetooth headsets, only for the Apple mouse and keyboard. I must also mention that I've tried to install manually many of the Broadcom drivers, all of which were for Bluetooth 3.0 or 4.0, they didn't help.
It's awfull that I've got the latest iMac, so the latest hardware and face such problems. I only think that a cheap 5-7$ bluetooth-usb adapter could help, maybe it could recognize the headset and therefor install its own drivers for its manufacturer. But I don't imagine how would it work and connect since iMac has a peinstalled Bluetooth receiver. Is there a software sollution? An app or driver?

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...

I anonymized the MAC of the Bluetooth headset because otherwise, somebody would probably yell at me for the security vulnerability. Because with that MAC, someone could uh ..... they could ...... uhm ...... well I anonymized it anyways.
So without further ado, here's what I do to try and get my bluetooth headset going:
[root@yvonne bluetooth]# lsmod | grep ^snd_bt_sco
snd_bt_sco 14028 0
[root@yvonne bluetooth]#
That ensures I've got the appropriate module loaded.
[root@yvonne bluetooth]# ps ax | fgrep "hcid

2987 ? Ss 0:00 /usr/bin/dbus-daemon --system
3000 ? Ss 0:00 /usr/sbin/hcid -f /etc/bluetooth/hcid.conf

I've got HCID going, with DBus started first (read up about that on the forums)
[root@yvonne bluetooth]# rm /var/lib/bluetooth/00:08:2B:03:68:D2/linkkeys && touch /var/lib/bluetooth/00:11:1B:09:31:E5/linkkeys

Note that each time after I wipe out the keys from /var/lib/bluetooth, I'm putting the headset back into pairing mode by holding down its "phone" button.
So I'm kind of at the end of my rope here. Something is going wrong during pairing, but what is it? dmesg isn't giving me any clues here either. Is the PIN not getting transmitted properly or something?[/code]

Ok, there's some strange things happening with bluetooth these days it seems. I had a lot of trouble setting up a connection to my phone, even after following avery bit of advice I found on the net.
But somehow I found a way, and now it works. I had to do some things not documented anywhere, excepte from some obscure places from 2003 etc.
The most significant problem I encountered was that my phone would never find my computer, even though I set pscan and iscan enabled.
Here's a line of code I found that fixed the problem for me. It could work for you too, since your problem looks exactly like the things I saw when the phone couldn't see my computer.

Bluetooth Headset on a Mac and PC

Hey Folks,
I haven't used Bluetooth that much before, but I'm about to take a deeper plunge because I want to use Skype with a wireless headset, among other things. The machine I'll be adding this to is a Quicksilver 2002.
I'm already quite aware that the only well-known and easily obtainable Bluetooth adapter that is guaranteed to work with OS X for headsets is the D-Link DBT-120, and that in most cases, in order to enable the headset support, you must apply Apple's Bluetooth firmware updater. I'm clear on that.
However, what I also understand is that once you apply Apple's updater, the adapter will no longer be usable on a Windows machine. Has anyone been able to get a DBT-120 with upgraded firmware to work on a Mac and a PC, or is the only choice to buy separate adapters, one for your Macs and one for your PCs?
Also, does anyone have any good suggestions for Bluetooth headsets that will work with Skype? I've heard a lot of good things about the Jabra BT series, the Motorola HS series, and the Logitech Mobile series. Are those pretty much the top three models of affordable Bluetooth headsets? Any others I should consider?

Using a headset needs several steps even needed if you have the latest computer or Mac OS X release. Please make sure to follow them in order.
Download the Apple Bluetooth Firmware Updater
Install it
Launch it from Applications > Utilities > Bluetooth Updater
Apply it to your adapter (takes very long).
Start the Apple Bluetooth Assistant and select Headset. Do not use anything else!
Make your headset Bluetooth visible. Look up the manual of your headset how to do that.
Now select the headset in System Preferences > Sound.
In most cases step 3 is missed. You have to start the already installed updater yourself (do not ask me why). Step 4 fails if your Bluetooth USB adapter is not supported by Apple and you have to go for a D-Link DBT-120 USB adapter.

How do I set the monitor to a bluetooth headset and real instrument thru built in jack?

So, here's the ingredients:
- Macbook white unibody running OS X Leopard, Garageband '11
- Nokia BH-504 bluetooth headset;
- One regular cable connected to an electric bass;
- One adapter to the built-in input;
The problem:
monitor the real instrument (the electric bass) via bluetooth headset.
No problem pairing the bluetooth device in question. No problem at all seting it up on GB.
But when I plug my bass to the built-in input I cannot hear it on the bluetooth headset.
Kinda confused, right? Was it clear enough?
Cheers!

IBook G4 + Bluetooth headsets... is it possible?

Hi there.
Has anybody with an iBook G4 successfully paired it with a bluetooth headset? I've been scouring the forums for a couple of days, and read about people with PowerBooks and MBPs successfully using bluetooth headsets, but I haven't actually seen an iBook user say that they have been able to do the same.
I have an iBook G4 purchased in December 2004, and a D-Link DBT-120 Bluetooth adapter (i.e. the one recommended by Apple).
I would greatly appreciate any anecdotal confirmation that iBook users are able to use bluetooth headsets with their iBooks (either via internal Bluetooth or via a USB Bluetooth adapter).
Many thanks!

I'm using a Nokia HS-36W and no problems... Just a bit of delay in sound.
Using with Skype and work fine.

Help help bluetooth headset need developer

Hello everybody,
I haven't any knowledge in to developing and i am here to find a developer who can help me or develop something for me,
i'm actually using a bluetooth headset (jabra) with my macbook (10.5.2) .
the headset profile works perfect , i can choose in my sound preference panel the headset as input or output, but the thing is that i don't care about the audio part what i am looking for is to use the headset buttons ( volume up/down, on/off) but the headset doesn't have any HID profile...
So what i need is a special driver or little software that keystroke for each buttons or send HID values as a gamepad or mouse do , then it will be easy for me to get the values in the sofware i use (max/msp)..
If i look in the preferences panel/sound with the headset coreaudio choosed i can see the volume bar moving when i use the volume buttons of the headset, maybe its possible to do it with applescript too? ( i will post that message in the Applescript's section too).
If anyone can help ..
million of thanks

How could they not let top-end Bluetooth Headsets activate Voice Control

I love Voice Control. It was an important feature missing from the 3G. Also was a video function. They addressed both with the 3GS. But then what do they do, forget to let Voice Control be accessed by a Bluetooth Headset.
Don't get my wrong, probably not all Bluetooth Headsets can support picking up a Voice Control function from a random cell phone. But I have a $140 Headseat, the Motorola Pure H15. This is the Nissan GTR of Bluetooth Headsets. Trust me, if there's a function that a headset can possess, this one has it and more.
So after pairing with the 3GS, why can't it gain access to the Voice Control? Hold the H15 button and the 3GS redials the last number dialed, which is a universal language between headset and cell phone. So I know that works, but push the button and the H15 attempts to connect and shows this by expressing several different tones: an access tone, then a deactivated tone. It's a weird combination of tones when pressing the button, it's trying but not getting through.
I hope Apple can fix this by way of software and avoid a hardware revision. Please please! I hope it's a quick fix and that Apple has this missing function on their priority list of future updates.

fear not... the people out there testing 3.1 mention that voice control works via Bluetooth on 3.1 so just give it a couple months and the feature will be there
