    I have a Studio 17 and added a Dell 370 bluetooth card so I can use my bluetooth mouse and it works fine.

    I saw a pair of Motorola Bluetooth stereo headphones, and I'm wondering if these would allow me to listen to my mp3's using Winamp, or if I go into a voice chat room if I can use the bluetooth headphones ? I would like to try them for listening to my mp3's and I think the Dell 370 is A2DP compatible but not sure about that either, I cant find that on the Dell spec sheet. The headphones are Motorola S805 stereo bluetooth phones.

    If it does work, does it have as good sound as a wired headset would ?

    anyone have any experience in this area ? Any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated,

    Thankyou,

    Nicholas,

    Thankyou,

    I found out the 370 BT card is A2DP compatible, so that would probably connect but how do you get Winamp or Media player to play the music into the BT Headphones? Or does any sound thats played get routed into those Bluetooth headphones? I read some reviews about BT headsets, and some have trouble playing music from their pc, but they work ok with the cell phone.

    So Im still wondering if they will play Winamp or Media Player in Vista for me.
