I dabbled with my motorola headset (cheapest one that came with the phone) and skype. My neighbor and I didn't get good voice reception sound but we only played with the settings for about 5 minutes.

I works well for voice command when I initially tested it out.
If a group of mimes are miming a forest and one falls down, does he make a sound?

I use to use mine, but it's been unreliable. I keep getting an error stating that the bluetooth connection is dropped. Only really been happening with Tiger, I used to use the bt headset for several hours at a time with Panther. I'm seriously pissed about it. Can't figure out why it's doing it, and didn't get any reply when I posted the question on macnn.

Trying everything I can find to get it working properly. When it did work, it was great. Now I'm using a regular pair of headphones and the built in mic in my powerbook.

Have you been getting the same bluetooth disconnect error? I've not seen it mentioned anywhere else. Driving me nuts as it's the main reason I bought the headset.
