Do those bluetooth cellphone headsets work with bluetoothed Macs or in other words can you configure the headset to receive the audio/sound from OSX?
As I understand it, they are all mono (because they go over only one ear) and they have poor sound quality, but does it work?
If not, where the hell are the Bluetooth ear buds. I found one company that makes em, but I think it's fake because the site looks like hell and they are not taking orders.

I tried it, but although the headset is recognised it won't pair. I get an error that BT headsets are not supported. Whether this is due to my Belkin BT adapter, or Tiger I don't know - but I'd love to find a man that does

In Tiger you gotta have the D-Link DBT-120 and use Apple's Bluetooth Firmware Updater 1.2 to use Bluetooth headsets.
Yes, they're all mono, and sound quality isn't great. From what I understand, Bluetooth just isn't fast enough to transmit high quality stereo sound.

So I guess it does work?
Has anyone tried to use a Bluetooth Headset with iChat?
Since they are all Bluetooth, will they all work with Tiger?

I have SE hbh-660 which I use with ichat and skype. At least I used to in Panther, now in Tiger I keep getting disconnects from the computer, generally a few seconds after the calls connect. It's driving me nuts, it used to work so well, I could walk around the room and chat using skype, or sit across the room from the computer, very handy.
I have all the latest drivers, it's all paired properly etc, it just keeps disconnecting. YMMV.
