I'd like to select a Bluetooth Headset that has the widest compatibility for my needs, which include, but are not limited to:[list=1][*]IBM ViaVoice for OS X[*]VoIP from Vonage[*]Xbox Live[/list=1]
Any advice or insights?

I know for sure that BT Headsets do not work with Apple's Voice recog. The bit-rate is too low. Not sure about ViaVoice though.

XBoxen do not support Bluetooth as far as I know.

IF Vonage has an OS X app then you should be able to use the headset fine - it is seeen as a normal audio out/in source by apps.

Aaaugh!! That SUCKS! How frustrating....

Not natively, but I'm assuming it would work with an add-on dongle. “Xboxen”, eh? Is that the official pluralization of “Xbox”?

Yeah. Unfortunately, because of regulations, Vonage is not offered in Maine.
