bluetooth headphones
Is there a way to link a headphone to a PC wirelessly via a bluetooth device?
I want at least (that worth much) to use the mobile phone bluetooth headphones, when on messenger or to listen to the music.
Do you know any electronic diagram that would do that?

Thanks garycase but the main wish is to link an Ericsson k510i compatible bluetooth headset to the PC, (i think it needs a driver) or any non bluetooth interfaced headphone through the bluetooth that let's say i have it at PC on USB.
In the first case don't know what headset to buy to also be PC compatible.
In the second i need to make myself the bluetooth interface for the headpfone.
Did you use such a bluetooth headset to the PC and did you hear all the sounds?
Does it need driver?

Important information, thanks.
What model of headset have you NetExpert, chiingliang, if you have too?
Are there stereo bt headphones, as you NetExpert spoke about the music. You too chiingliang did speak about winamp.
Your Motorola headsets are bluetooth, is it correct? Have they a website?
A final question, do you think any bt headset can be made to work on PC, as i don't think i could test them before buy.
I'll be back later...

stereo bluetooth headphones are what you're after, and they're just starting to come out.
here's some:

As it is here specified http://www.bluetake.com/Products/BT450Rx/BT450Rx_subS.htm
Carrier Frequency: 2.4 - 2.483 GHz
this is near the microwave oven frequency.
I thought bluetooth works at lower frequencies and this way cheat the gsm mobile phone.
Unfortunately they are higher than 1800 MHz's GSM and exactly those that fry the brain when you talk to the phone.
I know there are 3 kinds bluetooth devices:
Class 1 100 mW 20 dBm ~100 meters
Class 2 2.5 mW 4 dBm ~10 meters
Class 3 1 mW 0 dBm ~1 meter
lower power than a mobile phone, but it is discovered they are as illusive as dangerous.
I don't need anymore bt headset, i'll search for IR ones.
Of course i will reward you.
Maybe i'll search just for a simple cheap class 3 bt headset for the Ericsson k510i mobile, if not it has the speaker setting only it discharge faster the battery.

Many cordless phones also use the 2.4GHz frequency spectrum. There have been studies done on the "human exposure" element of these and bluetooth devices operating in this spectrum. To quote:
"Human body exposure. Several agencies regulate RF exposure levels, and papers have been written on the topic of RF's effects on the human body. Many of the studies that have been done for 802.11b are also applicable to Bluetooth.
Testing done to date shows no harm from RF levels used in 802.11b and Bluetooth. Most body-worn or portable devices will likely be designed as Class 3 Bluetooth devices (1 mW), which would have significantly less power than most of the transmitters tested (at 100 mW) and are even less likely to have any deleterious effects. "
But there are still folks who don't like to take a chance that these studies are wrong - and it's never bad to err on the side of caution. I would not think a Class 3 bluetooth headset would be a significant risk -- but that's your choice. It is true that the headphones you linked to above are a Class 2 device (not Class 3), and thus radiate quite a bit more power than a Class 3 device would. But I still think the levels are low enough that you needn't be concerned [I would not, however, wear a class 1 device !!].
If, however, you are concerned about the radiation, and all you want are headphones (and don't care about the two-way communication that bluetooth allows), you could get either IR or RF headphones. Remember that with RF headphones you are NOT wearing a transmitting device -- just a receiver. So there's no radiation to be concerned about.

Yes, that is my opinion too, a cheap class 3 bt headset, and adapt it for both ears (stereo).
IR the contrary should make well to body :).
Can i use IR headset linked to IR port and hear all the sounds?

It seems that despite the Class 3 standard, virtually all bluetooth headsets are Class 2. I just looked at the details of EVERY bluetooth headset on Newegg -- and they are ALL Class 2 devices. So I guess the manufacturers at least think the higher radiated signal is not a problem -- and is worth it for the extra range.

I think nobody cares nothing about radiation, only price/range report.
I am using a very low cost motorola headset. Not sure of what is the model name, but i think its 820. its single sided, and the mic works too.

Yes, you are right. The headphones uses A2dp, but the theory and method are the same. The Bluesoleil supports a2dp as well.

Can Logitech's Bluetooth headphones for the iPod work with my mobile phone too?

Have you atomicfire001 tryied Logitech's Bluetooth headphones with a mobile phone?
A simple USB-bluetooth adapter will do the trick:
