Well, I just wasn't sure how big the transmitter would be as far as traveling. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Sandy Licht" <slicht@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Why would travelling make a difference? You would have to bring the Bookport with you, and you would use it as if you didn't have wireless headphones... You might place it on a table, or a desk instead of having it strapped to your body. But, seriously, what would travelling have to do with anything?

Linda: I don't have mine yet, but I don't think you need to do that at all. That is the beauty of a wireless connection.

This is going to sound like a dumb question, but, when you use the bluetooth headphones, do you still carry the book port around with yo while listening to it through them? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Richard Benoit" <reb503@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

Hi Tom,

The Bluetooth headset that I am using (Plantronics 590A) is essentially
the same as a regular headset except that it is not quite as light and trim as one of the lightweight sets. Of necessity it must contain a rechargeable battery, reciever. and controls for volume, an on/off switch, and buttons for swittcing betweening devices. It also has a microphone for use with a cell phone which means it has a transmitter. .In spite of this they are quite light and comfortable. They come with an A C 
charger for the headset and adapter. The Logitech
phones that Walt Smith mentioned are a a great buy even with the minor
problem although you might want to consider that the behind the head design might make them unsuitable for use in bed or in a recliner,
They do work well with the Bookport. The adapter plugs into the headphone jack and will just fit into the zippered compartment of the Bookport leather case. If you don't have the case it will just dangle. 

Richard

Hi, Are the Bluetooth head-phones similar to a regular head set? Are they comfortable? How are they powered? I'd really like the idea of no wire to tangle in everything! Thanks Tom

Hi Betty,
Yes, they came together. They were "paired" at the factory. When I set up the headset with my laptop I had to go through the pairing process so they would recieve the sigmal from the laptop without the adapter. This "pairing" is to prevent others from connecting with your devices and to prevent you from recieving signals from every Bluetooth device you happen to be near. The Plantronics headset has a pairing mode to allow it to be paired with other Bluetooth devices. The adapter also has this mode which I assume will allow it to pair with another headset.
I have never seen the Plantronics adapter sold separately but they may very well be available. The adapter would probably work with your headset provided that they both conform to the same standare. There is usually a statement in the specifications to that effect. I would investigate this pairing process very thoroughly before making a purchase. 

Sorry I couldn't be of more help.  Perhaps someone else

Richard: are your adapter and headphones both plantronics?
I have a scala headset and am hoping that I only need to buy the plantronics adapter, but I don't know if that will work.

Hi,
I,too, Had never used any type of cordless headphones prior to purchasing these headphones. The occassion for doing so was that I bought a neww laptop thay had the option of a built in Bluetooth transmitter as do most new laptops. There is also the fact that cellphones are available with the option as well as many other devices. This makes it possible to use several devices with the same headset without an adapter. The adapter is for use with devices that are not already equipped with a transmitter.
As for advantages of Bluetooth over other wireless headphones i can't say conclusively which is best except to say that if it is an infrared device, it will only work in "line of sight". If the device is RF then it is probably subject to more interferrence than Bluetooth and probably has less range. Bluetooth has a range of 33 feet and is quite clear within that 
range.
To sum it up: Bluetooth is a newer technology and is or will be compatible with more devices and probably works a little better, otherwise RF wireless 
might be adequate.

Richard

Hi Richard,
I to am interested in a set of head phones for my BP but am wondering 
what advantages there are in using a Bluetooth and adaptor over a
cordless headset.

I have never used either type mentioned above so any info would be
greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Tom.

Hi Dory,

I have the  Bluetooth headphones that you are probably refering
to. They are Plantronics 590A and you can find them a t Amazon.com for that price. This model comes with the adapter for use with non Bluetooth devices. They work very well with the Bookport and they are especially convenient with the NLS tape machine. You can find 
all the details at Amazon.

Awhile back there was a short discussion, hopefully on this list, about bluetooth headphones and adapters for non-bluetooth devices. I thought somebody mentioned a particular brand which ended with tronics, can't 
think
of name. Price about $99.95. I want to use it with bookport and my 
computer speakers when playing games.  Your help is appreciated.
