Bluetooth headset work around

[E.J. Zufelt]

Good evening,

For anyone interested in using a bluetooth headset with their Mac, I  
have researched and found a work around.

Issue
OS X Leopard has poor support for most bluetooth headsets.  Many makes  
and models lose connection after a few seconds and many that do keep a  
connection only record static from the micropone.

Resolution
Use an OS X compatible Bluetooth to USB Audio adapter.  Note: this is  
not a USB Bluetooth adapter (an item that plugs into your USB port to  
provide bluetooth for the Mac), but is a Bluetooth to USB Audio  
adapter (which is recognized by the OS as a USB audio device).

I am using a Plantronics Discovery 925 and have chosen to go with the  
Plantronics USB audio to bluetooth adapter (part number BUA-100).  I  
imagine that this adapter would work with non-plantronics headsets,  
but can not test this to be sure.

HTH,
Everett
