So I got a pair of Pantronics bluetooth headphones. Work great with my iPhone. Sounds terrible with my Mac, cuts out, sounds choppy, sounds mono to me. A co-worker tells me he has the same problem. BTW, I'm on Leopard patched up So question is: what is the deal? is it fixable? | |||||||||

Make sure that when you pair the headset you select "use as wireless headphones" (or similar) instead of "use as headset". The headset profile was designed for phone calls, and you should only use it if you're pairing a headset that does not support A2DP. Your Plantronics headset probably supports both (if it has a microphone) because some devices switch between the two profiles for music-listening and call-taking. | |||

Ok You are on Leopard which supports A2DP, as opposed to non-stereo on Tiger so that should not be the problem. Some headphones have a headset mode and get connected in that mode incorrectly and sound awful, so you should endure that your headphones are not being connected in headset mode. You should also try your headphones with another computer to ensure that you bluetooth adapter is not faulty. | |||

I have a Motorola A2DP headset and on occasion with it pairs in headset mode with my MacBookPro it's very staticy and the sound is sub-par. Usually, by disabling bluetooth and then turning it back on and resyncing everything it works fine again. It's pretty rare that it ends up with bad sound, but I get the feeling that Apple has pretty crappy bluetooth drivers. | |||
