    They all work without extensions. The built in Bluetooth module in Vista does it all!!!

    Vista is actually acting up when you pair a bluetooth headphone which uses A2DP. I have the Dell M1330 with the Dell Bluetooth 355 Module (which a lot of other manufacturers use in their systems) and other members on boards are seeing that Vista is pairing the headphones but no audio is coming out from then, only through the notebook's speakers.

    I have tried the following headphones: Logitech FreePulse, GN BT620, Motorola S9 and Creative SL3100 (currently own) and none seems to be compatible even though I have the latest driver.

    I will be calling Dell to see if I can get a replacement and if that doesn't work then the previous Bluetooth module (350) which is proven to be compatible. Vista sucks when it comes to third party peripherals.
