Sony
Apr-2011
I got a Sony HWS-BTA2W bluetooth stereo audio adapter, in Sony's catalog, from Amazon for about $50.
Receive mode
It is intended to allow playing music from a bluetooth mp3 player or phone. I connected the line out to an available line input on my stereo receiver.
Mac
It pairs with MacBook Pro, so that I can watch movies on the laptop and listen to the audio track on the stereo. When playing music you select the HWS-BTA2W bluetooth headset as the output option.
Ubuntu
I ran bluetooth-wizard from the ssh command line (I don't have a monitor on my media server.) and got a connection right away. Running gnome-control-center works too.
Debian Jessie
There is no "bluetooth-wizard" here. I don't want to install gnome so "gnome-control-center" is off limits too.
Transmit mode
It will send audio (but you have to throw a switch to put it in Tx mode) so you could feed music to a pair of bluetooth headphones.
Motorola HT-820 bluetooth headset
- 2017 - The foam pads are falling apart. Otherwise still good for music and phone calls.
- Summer 2012 -- we use this one with our Mac's to make phone calls. Sometimes I watch movies (on my Mac).
- Mar-2007-- I have had this headset for about a month now. Have not really done much with it except confirm it works. I have connected successfully with a Motorola Razr phone and a Dell Axim X50V.
On / Off
Left side button - hold for 3 seconds, flashes 3 times
If you have the headset on your head you can hear a short beep when it powers on or off
Pairing
With the headset OFF, hold down the left side button for 6 seconds (light will pulse) Then go into the host computer and tell it to look for new devices.
