    Question ....
    I am deaf in one ear ( nerve deafness 100%) and need a hearing aid in the other.
    I have ,and use, a bluetooth Motorola H700 headset with my cell phone and love it..
    I cannot use a headphone that has to " Plug in" to my ear because of hearing aid so the h700 works perfectly for me as it just lays over my ear and my hearing aid.
    Is there any way that i can make the H700 or any similar unit, connect (pair) via bluetooth to my Lenovo X61 ? when I do not or cant use the speakers on my labtop ?

    If there is a way to avoid a full headset and the wire I would be absolutly delighted.
    can anyone help me ? please e-mail sugestions to [email protected]
    Thanks :p joe

    If your system did not come with integrated Bluetooth capabilities, you're going to need to buy a Bluetooth dongle (USB plug-in recommended). This Bluetooth dongle will detect your headset.

    I should warn you that it may take a lot of manual "tweaking" to get the headset working. I read up on it and seems the headset is not really plug-and-play.

    joebiplane,

    I've moved your thread to the Accessories section. You should receive better assistance there.

    Good luck.

    I use the sony dr-bt22 bluetooth headphones on my laptop and they work great for movies but it did take me a while to get them working. You have to connect them to your computer and then in the audio settings put them as the default playback device.
