So I've got this junky pair of head phones at work. The foam is coming off one of the ears and the sound was starting to cut out from time to time.
Yesterday I saw a pair of nifty bluetooth headphones for $30 at best buy. So I picked em up at lunch time yesterday.
So while at lunch I pair them with my phone and check my voice mail, everything sounds fine so far and I'd have to wait to get back to my desk to try them for music as my phone does quite yet do A2DP. So I get back to my desk and get them paired with my desktop. Great except I can't set them as a play back device. After a bit of google-foo I found windows XP doesn't naively support A2DP, and most suggestions were to get another dongle or use another OS. Both of which I wasn't about to do, my work laptop won't be going to Vista anytime soon nor do I want an external bluetooth dongle hanging off my USB ports to listen to music, when the laptop has a built in bluetooth radio. I ponder and poke about and google some more and eventually decide to check with IBM/Lenovo and find they have released an updated set of bluetooth drivers. I grab it and after what seems like hours of downloading, I install it and re-pair the new headphones with the laptop. Now I can listen to music with no wires. Horay.

Posted by: dusty on April 8, 2009 10:54 AMNo complaints. If im going from playing music in winamp to watching a youtube video i usually have to turn the volume up quite a bit.
sound quality is about what i expected if i wanted better i would have spent more.
