Using A Bluetooth Headset With PC

[mr_fishbulb]

I know it's not overclocking but can someone offer any advice?

I'm thinking of getting one of those bluetooth headsets that you use with a mobile (the one that make you look like you are Borg) and a bluetooth dongle for my PC.

I'm hoping to hook it up to Yahoo messenger and other VoIP software so I can use it as a phone headset.

Does anyone know if it's possible?

Cheers

I don't see why it wouldn't work! I'm sure you could configure to be used as your pc's microphone.

Bluetooth equipment is cheap these days, just rig up and give it a shot, if it doesn't work hock it on ebay

Awesome, I already have the headset... I should look in to getting a USB-Bluetooth adapter thing and give it a shot myself.
