I am using the Sennheiser PX 210BT bluetooth headphones. But a reviewer also got it to work with a cheaper model, the MM100 headset. It should work with any bluetooth headphone/headset to be honest, but this is my set up for now.

Thanks for the review, I was looking at this also.  Can I ask, what
headphones are you using with this, as that is the next thing of interest to
me.

Regards
Karl

Subject: [access-uk] Review on Atomic Pico Bluetooth Dongle


Hello all.
I thought I would write in a short review of this cool little gadget,
which they say is the world's smallest dongle. Nothing is further from the
truth. The device, once connected, is flushed to the USB port of your
desktop, laptop, notebook or even netbook. This means that for laptop or
other mobile PC users, there is no worrying about damaging or snapping the
USB port. It just won't happen.
What comes in the package is a mini CD with Bluesoleil bluetooth software
version 5.4. I have to say this is the most fantastic bluetooth stack I
have ever found for Windows. I tried Widcomm and briefly Toshiba. Widcomm
is a pain to use on later versions of Windows, and I can't comment on
Toshiba. Nonetheless, the software is fully accessible, providing you use
both the notification area icon and the Bluetooth Places application,
which integrates into Windows Explorer and provides the essentials to
search for, pair and connect nearby bluetooth devices, including headsets,
mobile phones, even other computers.
Now you may ask, "what is wrong with the generic bluetooth drivers?" The
answer depends on what your bluetooth needs are. If you are like me and
you want to listen to high quality stereo audio wirelessly, then this
software is a must. The generic drivers do not support the A2DP
specification, but the Bluesoleil software does. If, however, you want to
just share files between your computer and a mobile phone, dial up to the
internet, then you could get away with the generic drivers, however the
Bluesoleil software is far easier and more intuitive to use. You do
everything in one window, rather than through several, like Control Panel,
Bluetooth Devices, etc.
If you have any comments or questions regarding the Atomic Pico Bluetooth
Dongle, feel free to ask on or off list. The price here in the UK was
£9.14, including £2.10 delivery, and I purchased it from
www.mobilefun.co.uk.
I hope you enjoy this review.
Chat soon.
