    I am looking at getting a pair of bluetooth headphones, are they compatable with the internal bluetooth adapter in the z70va?

    ps any recommendations on BT headphones?

    I have been looking at these Sonorix. Has mic for my gaming needs. Pretty expensive, but there are some other bt headphones on the market. Plantronix, and Bluetake have some nice looking ones that will work with the z70va internal module.

    I believe I saw a stereo bluetooth from www.mwave.com from Motorola for around 50 bucks. You can check it out there.

    Is Asus still shipping that HCI 1.1 module in their recent notebooks? If so BT headphones are going to be pretty much useless (at least for music) due to the lack of the A2DP profile. (You’d have to use an external adapter, and many BT headphones ship with them.) Even the headset profile - for voice chat and telephony - could be doubtful (perhaps depending on the headset used and location) due to interference, especially if used with wireless on. Even if they have upgraded their units to 1.2 A2DP may not be present, but headset use should be fine due to the fact that BT 1.2 is less susceptible to interference and provides a higher effective bandwidth.

    So I am enjoying my new z70va and now would like to start looking into BT devices that are going to WORK with this notebook.

    Right now I want to utilize a bt mouse and some headphones w/mic preferrably. Does anyone have any suggestions?
