Post subject: | can i use a handsfree as a headset? |
hi guys im one of those strange people with a bluetooth dongle in the back of my PC, which i dont actually use, and i was wondering if it would be possible to pick up a cheapy mobile phone handsfree headset, pair it with the dongle and use it as a mic for in-game chat? i dont fancy buying a huge, expensive set of headphones with integrated mic because i dont fancy wearing something so heavy and warm during long gaming sessions (my neck is strained enough dragging all this hair around...) and i didnt buy my 5.1 sound system for nothing!! so, is this possible? itd save me a lot of money/wires/time spent typing at n00bs over chat if it is ![]() TIA |

I use my Plantronics Bluetooth headset on the computer no problem. If it will work with a phone, then it should work fine on a computer. It's nice having a separate device for speech. You can still have the music coming out of the speakers, and just chat on the headset. |

I use my BT headset sometimes for Skype on OS X. |

Don't get one exactly like mine, it's very uncomfortable! There are lots of much better ones available now for a fraction of the £45 mine cost nearly 10 years ago. I just don't use it that much, so I've not bothered replacing it. |

ok, ive had a look at a few reviews, plantronics sets seem to be pretty highly regarded in the sub-£30 sector, which is the most i really want to pay ![]() |
