    I'm thinking about getting a Sennheiser Bluetooth headset for my M11x, probably the MM 400's. Has anyone used bluetooth headphones on the M11x? I've used some before on another laptop (Macbook Pro) and the quality wasn't very good. I'm wondering if the M11x is better?

    I'm trying to stay 100% wireless with the M11x. I will also be using a bluetooth mouse too if that makes a difference, would like to use both at the same time.

    I have the MM400's (great headphones btw) and they do work well with the M11x. However they are only really good for music and movies & games have a very noticeable lag in the audio. I thought about the purely wireless thing too which is why i bought the MM400's but that one little thing kills that idea.

    That is what I was afraid of. I guess bluetooth just doesn't have the bandwidth to do it right. I'll stick with my Sennheiser PX-100's for now I guess.

    Thanks,

    I've had that disappointment before. I was hoping the technology had advanced in the last few years.

    We should be able to go totally wireless for mouse/audio for gaming with a laptop, hell Xbox has it! Bluetooth really is a crappy standard.
