Bluetooth types?

[asterroc]

My dad's found this Motorola bluetooth headphones. I wish to use it with my computer. Reviews on Amazon say that I have to have A2DP on my computer, or Bluetooth 1.2 in order for them to work in stereo.

I have a MacBook and it says I have "Apple Bluetooth Software Version: 1.9.5f4". Will it work?

This solution is as recent as September 2007, but even after you get it installed, you need to use a terminal command every time you want to utilize it.

Probably the easiest thing to do is to buy a BlueTooth USB dongle that supports A2DP.

Someone posted* about success with this model after failing with older models:

This looks cheaper and explicitly claims to support the A2DP profile in its specs:

This one is only a little more expensive and has a much better range.
