A BLUETOOTH HEADSET THAT WORKS WITH PC PLEASE!
February 11th 2010 00:16
I left the office early today (that is, if you can say that 6:30pm is still early on a 9-5 work schedule), because I have a mission. My mission was to look for a Bluetooth headset that works with PC or laptop.
I need one because the speakers of my laptop don’t give out the quality sound that other laptops brag about – though, I don’t really know if the sound they brag about is comparable to what a decent portable speaker makes.
I have one of those hamburger type speakers which is about 1 ½ inch diameter in size. The thing works really well. It serves the purpose even if you use it while watching those DVD war movies that require subwoofers to create realistic sounds.
I need a Bluetooth headset that works with a laptop because the audio out of my mobile computer got busted in one of my event runs (you know, those that I wrote about several times in my previous posts here in Orble). One of the technicians I worked with said that, maybe, I used my laptop with some incompatible sound system in one of those events and that screwed up my computer’s audio line out.
What that means is that, while I can still get audio out of that line, the sound that I get would be either garbled or distorted - a fact that sent me scurrying around for the darn Bluetooth headset!
Now, in this age and time when you can send crystal clear still and video images via Bluetooth from one electronic gadget to another (and even a slew of still and video images with audio and all sorts of data from the internet to any computer - heck, I even connect my laptop to the internet via Bluetooth using mobile phones and download anything I want with it!) you would think that it would be really easy finding a Bluetooth headset that receives sounds from any electronic gadget - including computers.
Well, think again! I scoured computer and electronic stores and any other outlets that look like they are selling headsets and I didn’t find any. Okay, okay, I found two! One is a Jabra mono headset which claims that it can be used with cell phones and pc/laptop computers and another one that looks like your usual stereo headset (you know, those thick and bulky kind) that bear the same claims…
Surprise, surprise! None of those works with a laptop! And that is not just my laptop – they did not work even with the laptop in the stores where I found them.
Both headsets worked perfectly well with cell phones and other ACP or MP3, MP4 players. The other one was even exceptional with an Ipod. But none of them worked with a laptop!
I’ve tried everything, I paired them with my laptop several times, they were seen and recognized by my laptop but none of them worked!
It is either I am doing everything wrong, or there really is no Bluetooth headset that works with a pc/laptop.
How about that?
