Just want to know whether it is possible to use the HBH-15 headset (or any other Bluetooth headset) as a headphone/microphone for a PC/Laptop with Blueooth capability?? It'd be cool to use it for internet chat. 
Anyone know or tried? | |

You can do it - but the bluetooth module in the notebook MUST support the audio profile. For example my 3Com USB dongle does support it, but my DTL-1 PCMCIA doesn't ... |

Wouldn't it have to do with the drivers/software supporting the headset profile, and not the hardware itself?  |

Jimak, so is there a way I can tell if my laptop supports it then?
Are there any settings that would need to be made?
Thanks! |

In Linux with Affix:
DTL-1 (PCMCIA, Nokia):
-------------------------
Suported features:
Packet types: 3-slots, 5-slots
Radio features: none
Policy: switch, sniff mode,
Encryption: supported
Clock modes: slot offset, timing accuracy
Audio: not supported
Power Control: not supported
3Com USB:
------------------
Suported features:
Packet types: 3-slots, 5-slots
Radio features: RSSI, Channel quality driven data rate
Policy: switch, hold mode, sniff mode, park mode
Encryption: supported
Clock modes: slot offset, timing accuracy
Audio: SCO link, HV2, HV3, u-Law log, a-Law log, CVSD,
Power Control: supported
If your BT device supports it, you can use the audio profile (if your drivers support it) for almost anything you like - e.g. listening to mp3, etc...
I do not know how to check it out in Windows. In Linux you just type "btctl" (if you have affix installed) and get this info and more. Generally CSR chips are ok (e.g. iPaq, Sony Picturebook, IBM A30, ...) as far as I know ...

That sounds easy enough, but I don't use Linux. 
ANyone else have any ideas as to how to connect it with a Windows Laptop (a Toshiba Satelite 5100-201)?
I mainly wanna use it for listening to MP3s and maybe chat or something like that.
BTW: Thanks again Jimak! |

I am also very interested in being able to do this.
I have the HBH-15 and the 3com USB dongle.
Jimak: You said that your dongle does support it. How did you get it working?

Anyone know how to use something like a hbh-15 or hbh-30 as a linux sound device, it would be well cool to use this for h323 comms with openphone or ohphone

I wanted to use a BT-Headset for speech-recognition software. I've tried it out with a Anycom USB-100 Bluetooth dongle plugged into a toshiba satellite 5100-201 and a Anycom AHS-10 Bluetooth headset (The integrated BT device of the laptop does not support audio). Audio from laptop to BT-headset works fine, I can hear internet radio, but in the other direction from BT-mic to laptop the quality is still very bad. I contacted anycom support an they told me that there is a problem with the sampling rate and the software (Mic volume cannot be adjusted...). They will have an improved software in summer. |

so correct me if i'm wrong in saying this, but as long as the BT adapter on your computer supports the audio profile, the BT headset will work without any additional software? Or would i still need special drivers for it? | |
