Bluetooth Headphones for Mac Pro - Recommendations Please?

Hello!
I am looking for a Bluetooth headphones to listen to iTunes on my Mac Pro.
Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you!

yup.. this was added to Leopard 10.5... 10.5 is REALLY flaky though (all around, not bluetoothwise)... 10.5.2 is what you need.
but with 10.5.2 installed i use the Motorola MOTOROKR™ S9 with a Belkin USB bluetooth adapter (class 1 so get 300 ft range)... works really well... good for exercise 'cause they are light and they stay in your ears securely and can take sweat etc and they are sound isolating and have two sizes of in ear thingies for different sized ears.
plus have Advanced Audio Distribution Profile (A2DP) and Audio Video Remote Control Profile (AVRCP). AVRCP lets you control iTunes and volume from the head phones... back, forward, play, pause, volume up and down.. they are really cool and work perfectly.

Stereo Bluetooth Headphones

I was wondering if anyone knows if you can use Stereo Bluetooth Headphones with the PowerBook with BlueTooth 2.0? I believe the BlueTooth module in the PowerBook needs to support A2DP for Stereo audio over Bluetooth, but I can't find any information on the Apple site reguarding this.
Is this at all possible? I got a pair of Logitech Bluetooth Headphone for my iPod, and I'd love to be able to also use them with my new MacBook Pro that is on order.
Thanks!

Try this. Pair any bluetooth headphone - including the Motorola S9. Connect the headphone, turn on your music or video on the iphone. Go to the voicemail section, click on audio and change the audio to headset. The music will come out of the headset (mono only). It will also come out of the iphone speakers at the same time. *Still beats having those headphones with wires!*

ITunes refuses to use bluetooth headphone

At first, I didn't realize there is this forum, and posted the following in a forum which is less suitable than this one. So, I copy it here.
I'm bewildered. Consider these three items: The bluetooth setting of Mac OS (the bluetooth icon near the top right corner), a bluetooth headphone, and iTunes. In what order should I switch them on?
First of all, I use the same headphone (S305 of Motorola) with the iPhone 4 and the 6th-gen. iPod Nano without any problems. It doesn't seem to matter which is switched on first.
Now, on my iMac, I experience wierd things. For example,
1) Switch on the headset.
2) Bluetooth menu of iMac -> Turn on Bluetooth.
3) Bluetooth menu of iMac -> S305 -> Use headphones.
After a while, my headset beeps and the Bluetooth
icon of the iMac turns to three dots. (Connection
established.)
4) Invoke iTunes. Then, the Bluetooth icon turns back
to the Bluetooth symbol, and music starts to flow
from the buildin speaker. Not from the headset!
5) Quit iTunes.
6) Bluetooth menu -> Turn off bluetooth.
7) Do item (2).
8) Do item (3).
9) Do item (4). And then, there is an error pop-up
window, saying that the bluetooth audio failed,
or somthing to the effect.
10) Restart the iMac.
11) Repeat from (1). Then, SOMETIMES, iTunes plays music
through my headset!
I failed to see any "systematicness". It SOMETIMES works and SOMETIMES fails.
Is there any pattern here? What's the correct order to turn on various things? I ask this, because establishing a Bluetooth connection after starting iTunes SOMETIMES works!
Oh, and I'm sitting right in front of the iMac and the strength of the signal should be very good. When I do a test like the above, I turn off all other Bluetooth signals. (For example, if its Bluetooth is on, my iPhone 4 establishes a connection with my headset before my iMac does so.)

Are these tracks ones that iTunes played successfully before the update? If not, what format are the tracks (MP3, WAV, WMA, etc.)?

Why do I need to restart iTunes to hear audio on my Bluetooth headphones?

I just bought a pair of Motorola S805 headphones, paired with an IOGear Bluetooth 2.0 dongle. If iTunes is running when I connect my headphones, I cannot get audio to play, no matter what I do in iTunes.
If I shut down iTunes, wait a few seconds, I can hear audio again. This method is not 100%, as I may have to restart iTunes 2 or 3 times to hear audio.
This is obviously just an annoyance, but I think that there should be a setting to allow iTunes to pick up new audio connections. Why do I need to go through this song & dance of restarting iTunes just to get audio working?
I have my S805's paired correctly, and they are set as the Stereo Audio device through the Microsoft Bluetooth devices. Is there any iTunes or Bluetooth settings that I can adjust?

Hi everyone, for the sake of posterity and if anyone encounters this problem, I have found a solution. I added a Motorola D200 bluetooth adaptor and I no longer have the problem. Since the D200 is an audio device it behaves better with iTunes.
I think the original problem stems from the fact that iTunes does not play well with audio devices on the Microsoft Bluetooth stack. I suspect that iTunes does not check for audio device updates of this type.

Has anyone found bluetooth headphones that successfully pair with Apple Watch (not Beats)

I've been trying to pair the Apple Watch with a few different bluetooth headphones including LG and Kinivo without success. Not really interested in buying another set of bluetooth headphones or dropping $200 on them. Any one have success pairing Apple Watch with any bluetooth device?

I have the Jaybird Bluebuds X and while I did get them to pair with the Watch, it required me to tell my iPhone 6 to forget the device. Normally I have it paired in Bluetooth settings to both my iPad Mini and iPhone, and while it attempt to pair with the last paired device, just going into Bluetooth Settings and tapping connect will switch device.
But apparently that won't work with the Watch - as I said I had to tell the iPhone to forget this device first.
But what annoyed me even more was after getting it to pair with the Watch, when I attempted to play music using the Glances music app, the music played through the iPhone speaker. Sort of understand this as I don't have any music synced to my Watch and generally have the Bluebuds paired directly to the iPhone.
Not sure if I did something wrong - might get around to playing around with it again.

Bluetooth headphones don't work with Macbook pro Retina, but they do with iMac. Why???

I AM NOT AN EXPERT. I AM MAKING ASSUMPTIONS. My issue, tech spec's and assumptions are listed below.
MY ISSUE:
My Rocketfish headphones work perfectly with my iMac but not with my Macbook Pro Retina.
The Macbook Pro does recognize the device but when I try to connect, it gives me the following error message:
"The device does not have the necessary services".
TECH SPEC
iMac has OS X 10.7.5
Macbook Pro Retina has OS X 10.8.2
MY ASSUMPTION
If I upgrade to 10.8.2 I will not be able to use the headphones.
Or
The new Macbook Pro's are only functional with bluetooth headphones that have certain specs.

I have the same problem when I try to connect to my Pioneer Bluetooth car stereo. I dont get any sound before the error message occurs.
I notice that the Type field of the connection is "handsfree"

Why did Apple break the good Bluetooth/headphones options?

New Bluetooth is very dangerous (if you're driving)!
OS 2.x = listening to music via headphone jack over car stereo, phone call interrupts, talk on Bluetooth headset, hang up & music restarts automatically through headphone jack.
OS 3.0 = listening to music via headphone jack over car stereo, phone call interrupts, talk on Bluetooth headset, hang up & music DOESN'T restart! Have to take eyes off road to screw around with music!
OS 3.0 = Bluetooth headset paired. Plug in headphones, music doesn't automatically switch to headphone output
OS 3.0 = make phone call via Bluetooth headset, hang up. Dial new number and hit SEND, phone defaults back to IPHONE instead of staying on headset (again while driving, requiring more time dealing with phone instead of driving!)
VERY disappointed!

So a year ago I rushed out and bought Bluetooth headphones to use with my iphone, only to findout that the protocall wasn't supported. I bought an adapter and everything worked great (well mostly the music would stop when a call would come in but start again in the background after taking the call.) I lost the adapter a month ago, but knowing this update was coming just counted the days.
So now I have the update and am quite satisfied to be listening to music and apps through my headphones. I was dismayed to dicover the lack of forward and backward protocall, but am not suprised, I knew apple couldn't give us EVERYTHING we wanted, they have to hold on to somthing for the "next big updated!" What really ****** me off is when I get a call I can no longer answer it on my headphones! I used to be I'd press the answer call button, but now nothing happens, I have to answer it on the phone and select my headset to output through. I'm getting a palm pre.
(I have Sony DR-BT21G headphones and would be interested to hear if anyone has been able to get their headphones to work for music and answering calls directly on their headphones.)

Why iPad can not see Nokia BH-505 bluetooth headphone?

Nokia BH-505 bluetooth headphone has all the bluetooth profile that iOS supports.
But, my new iPad can not see it. HTC's sensation can pair with the BH-505.
Apples tooth is different from that of Android or they do not have tooth?

It works for me too.
Just going a little bit further in the step 2, push down the TURN ON/OFF button for about 8 seconds.
I'm saying it because I also have a Nokia BH 504 and the reset process is realized by hold the ANSWER/END CALL and VOLUME UP buttons about 8 seconds. That makes me a little bit confused with Nokia BH 505.

Bluetooth headphones sound terrible

I just purchased a pair of Philips SHB7000 bluetooth headphones and they sound absolutely terrible when paired with my Lenovo Yoga 10 tablet. Worse than an AM radio. But when I use these headphones with my PC or my Galaxy tab or my HTC One phone (all via bluetooth), it sounds great. When I try other bluetooth headphones with my Lenovo Yoga, they sound fine as well. It is this particular combination of this headphone with this tablet that it is unlistenable. Ironically, I bought these headphones specifically so I could watch videos and listen to music on the Lenovo Yoga, which is the one combination of device and headphones that does NOT work.
Any ideas why only this combo has a problem? I asked Philips and they were completely unhelpful and pointed the finger at Lenovo.

I'm starting to think my next tablet is going to be from another manufacturer... :-(
Thanks for finding that older post. That's really disappointing but sadly, not surprising. I have to agree with you, my next tablet will definitely NOT be a Lenovo. I've had a lot of problems with this tablet, this being the latest problem. For example, I've found several apps that work with all my devices but not with the Lenovo. Like I can't use it for Hangouts and Skype. It also crashes a lot. Often times I go to use it and it has shut itself off and I have to boot it. And sometimes it won't charge because it starts draining faster than the charge, even when it is plugged into the outlet. So this tablet is really quite useless and I'm looking for a replacement.
Thanks for letting me vent...

Nokia bluetooth headphone

hey, so i've got his nokia bluetooth handsfree that i sometime use with my macbook. i'm just wandering why when i watch something through safari, as in a clip on youtube, there is not sound output. the same occurs with quicktime and vlc, apparently the only programme this handsfree will work with is itunes. does anyone know why this is? is there some setting i haven't changed in the bluetooth pref pane?

Hi
I've got similar problems with Sony DR BT22 bluetooth headphones. Works perfectly with my Sony Ericsson mobile, but on the macbook only itunes works (although without the headphone function of REW and FF). As the post above, when I'm trying to watch youtube clips I get no sound and the video freezes. I've also tried with Logic 8 and it really screwed with the sample rate, attempting to take it down to around 8000, It would then sometimes play back a few seconds of really slowed down audio and then made Logic crash
There are many posts about bluetooth headphone issues within this forum and it seems Apple don't fully support these devices yet. Wish I'd done my research before I forked out the cash !
