Re: [SLUG] wireless headsets
In case anyone stumbles on this thread I finished up with a Logitech H800 dongle/bluetooth which worked out of the box - Ubuntu 12.04. I don't have bluetooth on my computer, but the bluetooth works well on my Android so that's a bonus. Both sounds and mic are about the standard you would expect - not high fidelity but acceptable. I'm getting an occasional interference noise which I need to investigate, but that could be anything. It's got the world's most cryptic instruction sheet, but there isn't much to know so that hardly matters.

Cost about $200. Digital audio between base and headphones so nice and clear. Only needs an analogue input so will work basically anything with line out or headphone out. The base doubles as a stand and charging station too so, nice and tidy. Range is about 100m line of site and 20m through plaster walls. Obviously no microphone. I’ve heard good reports about some of the Logitech bluetooth wireless headsets but not sure if they work with Linux specifically - for example: http://www.logitech.com/en-au/product/8452 - however they aren’t “over” ear, just “on” ear. They are “HFP 1.5” (Hands Free Portable bluetooth profile), so “should” work. Usual disclaimer apply.
