Listening to MP3's on BT Headset

Hi,

Can anyone tell me how I can listen to MP3's on a Bluetooth headset.
I have a Jabra BT Headset, Billionton USB to BT adapter.


Thanks

That's right - the Bluetooth headset is mono, and the sound will be really
bad. You might want a Bluetooth device like this instead:

Yep, this is the one I will be going with myself.

Actually, I like the sonorix better:
http://www.sonorix.com/%7Etven/eng/p...oduct_bap0.php
it is lighter and much nicer looking (with the exception of that
unattractive nonfolding mic), but it doesn't come with a bluetooth
adapter that will allow me to connect to my iPod, so the bluetake is
more suitable for my needs -- still small and light enough, and
cheaper to boot. I read in another review somewhere that the bluetake
has significant sound leakage when the sound is turned up, so its
design could be improved by some insulation.

errr tell us what phone you have first....

i play my mp3s thru my bluetrek g2 bluetooth headset and readm software...(i
have an ngage original)

readm software has an mp3 and wav plugin ...and as far as Im aware is the
ONLY software that can play mp3s thru bluetooth

and if you have widcomm software (belkin adapter I have) on ur pc....u can
use your headset as a mic and speakers thru your pc too..

cheers
