Bluetooth For those of you not intimate with the term, Bluetooth refers to a wireless protocol (or set of rules) designed for short range electronic apps (usually less than 30 feet in distance). Although the engineering has been around for various years, Bluetooth help for PC users has been fixed due to hardware manufacturers focusing on the more established 802.11 wireless network protocols (wifi). In reality, Bluetooth and wifi achieve dissimilar purposes and each has it is masters and cons. Cellular Telephone Bluetooth Headsets The cellular telephone community has long embraced Bluetooth technology, fabricating and refining numerous wireless devices. One of the more popular Bluetooth apps for cellular telephones has been cordless headsets which enable users to leave their telephone in their bag or pocket while still being competent to make and receive calls. Bluetooth headsets are in general very lightweight, worn over one ear and achieve talk times from 1-4 hours before calling for a recharge. Bluetooth PC Headset? So if cellular telephone users have warmly embraced Bluetooth headsets, why not the PC community? At the time of writing, this author knows of no PC hardware manufacturer who has designed a Bluetooth Headset primarily for use with a PC. However, there is not one thing to prevent a PC user from using a cellular phone Bluetooth Headset with their PC. Keep in mind though, these headsets were in the first place envisioned for cellular phone use and may need a bit of ‘tweaking’ before they’ll carry out as well as ‘corded’ headsets on your computer. USB Bluetooth Adapter Unless you own a comparatively pricey notebook PC, odds are that your computer doesn’t natively aid the Bluetooth protocol. If this is the case, you’ll need an ‘Adapter’ or ‘Dongle’ in order to make your computer ‘Bluetooth enabled’. Bluetooth adapters are in general very little (a few inches long) and insert into a vacant USB port on your computer. When purchasing an adapter it’s critical that you buy one that supports the ‘headset protocol’. The headset protocol is plainly a set of rules which enables your Bluetooth adapter to commune with and make use of Bluetooth headsets in it is vicinity. If your adapter does not help the headset protocol, no amount of ‘tweaking’ will get your headset working with your PC. Adapters in general run amid $20 – $80 USD and may be purchased at most PC retailers. Buying a Bluetooth Headset Bluetooth headsets for cellular phones are in general very costly when equated with established ‘corded’ PC headsets. Depending on where you buy your headset, you could spend anyplace from $20 to $200+ USD. If you’re looking for a comparatively inexpensive headset that’ll plainly enable you to make wireless VoIP calls using your PC, I commend looking on Ebay. Although prices vary substantially on Ebay amongst merchants for similar products, overall they are substantially less highpriced than purchasing the same headset from a telephone store. A word of caution with regards to Ebay though; assure that you read the fine print related with shipping costs. Some Ebay merchants advertize Bluetooth Headsets for $5 USD notwithstanding the real cost quickly rises to $35+ when you account for their often exorbitant shipping charges. ‘Pairing’ the Headset with your PC Once your computer is ‘Bluetooth enabled’ and you’ve received a Bluetooth headset, you’ll need to ‘pair’ the headset with your computer in order to use it for VoIP applications. This is normally just a matter of setting your headset in ‘discovery mode’ and permitting your PC to ‘search’ or ‘discover’ Bluetooth devices. The steps necessitated to enable invention mode on your headset and adapter will vary amid gimmicks and will have to be distinctly explained in the documentation accompanying your devices. Adjusting your Audio Settings Depending on your hardware and operating system, you may need to make adjustments to your audio settings after the headset is ‘paired’ with your PC. In the Windows operating system, this will implicate accessing ‘Audio Properties’ through the ‘Control Panel’ and setting the audio and voice gimmicks to your newly paired Bluetooth headset. Again, adjusting these settings must be covered in the documentation accompanying both your headset and Bluetooth adapter. Once you’re up and running, you’ll wonder why you didn’t adopt this wireless headset solution sooner. The freedom to wander away from your computer whilst preserving voice over Internet conversations is something you’ll come to be grateful for and love.
