The cellular telephone community has long embraced Bluetooth technology, developing and refining numerous wireless devices. One of the more popular Bluetooth applications for cellular telephones has been cordless headsets which enable users to leave their telephone in their bag or pocket while still being able to make and receive calls.

So if cellular telephone users have warmly embraced Bluetooth headsets, why not the Pc community? At the time of writing, this author knows of no Pc hardware constructor who has designed a Bluetooth Headset primarily for use with a Pc. However, there is nothing to prevent a Pc user from using a cellular phone Bluetooth Headset with their Pc.

Usb Bluetooth Adapter

Unless you own a relatively costly notebook Pc, odds are that your computer doesn't natively withhold the Bluetooth protocol. If this is the case, you'll need an 'Adapter' or 'Dongle' in order to make your computer 'Bluetooth enabled'. Bluetooth adapters are commonly very small (a few inches long) and insert into a vacant Usb port on your computer. When purchasing an adapter it's important that you buy one that supports the 'headset protocol'. The headset protocol is merely a set of rules which enables your Bluetooth adapter to chronicle with and make use of Bluetooth headsets in its vicinity. If your adapter does not withhold the headset protocol, no number of 'tweaking' will get your headset working with your Pc. Adapters commonly run in the middle of - Usd and can be purchased at most Pc retailers.

Buying a Bluetooth Headset

Bluetooth headsets for cellular phones are commonly very costly when compared with accepted 'corded' Pc headsets. Depending on where you buy your headset, you could spend anywhere from to 0+ Usd. If you're finding for a relatively reasonable headset that'll simply enable you to make wireless VoIp calls using your Pc, I recommend finding on Ebay. Although prices vary considerably on Ebay in the middle of merchants for similar products, unabridged they are considerably less costly than purchasing the same headset from a telephone store. A word of caution about Ebay though; ensure that you read the fine print related with shipping costs. Some Ebay merchants advertise Bluetooth Headsets for Usd any way the real cost swiftly rises to + when you catalogue for their often exorbitant shipping charges.

'Pairing' the Headset with your Pc

Once your computer is 'Bluetooth enabled' and you've obtained a Bluetooth headset, you'll need to 'pair' the headset with your computer in order to use it for VoIp applications. This is normally just a matter of setting your headset in 'discovery mode' and allowing your Pc to 'search' or 'discover' Bluetooth devices. The steps needed to enable discovery mode on your headset and adapter will vary in the middle of devices and should be clearly explained in the documentation with your devices.

Adjusting your Audio Settings

Depending on your hardware and operating system, you may need to make adjustments to your audio settings after the headset is 'paired' with your Pc. In the Windows operating system, this will involve accessing 'Audio Properties' straight through the 'Control Panel' and setting the audio and voice devices to your newly paired Bluetooth headset. Again, adjusting these settings should be covered in the documentation with both your headset and Bluetooth adapter.

Once you're up and running, you'll wonder why you didn't adopt this wireless headset solution sooner. The leisure to gad away from your computer whilst maintaining voice over Internet conversations is something you'll come to appreciate and love.
