    I bought a pair of these since they were recommended as far as bluetooth headphones go but still trying to figure out the connecting and disconnecting routine, I've never used anything bluetooth before so this is all new to me.

    I just installed a 370 bluetooth card on my Dell Studio 15 and it is working fine plus I got the Plantronics to pair with the card and it says the headphones are connected.

    Everytime I turn the headphones on (in bluetooth settings) it connects with "Bluetooth Hands-free Audio" not with "Bluetooth Stereo Audio" so I have to disconnect the former and connect the latter to listen through the headphones.

    Is there a way to default to connecting with "Bluetooth Stereo Audio"?

    Have you tried disabling the hand free audio service?

    No I don't think so how do you go about doing that? After some trial and error it appears it's not necessary to disable the "Hands Free" Audio" because with it and the "Bluetooth Stereo Audio" both connected I can still listen through the headphones.

    I just need some help figuring out how to enable the "Blue Tooth Stereo" to automatically connect (like the "Hands Free Audio" does) whenever I turn on the headphones.
