    I'm hoping to get a pair of Logitech Wireless Bluetooth Headphones For iPod for use with my W7J. As noted in this thread, the headphones require a bluetooth hub that must support Advanced Audio Distribution Profile (A2DP).

    This is above my head and beyond my experience. Does anyone know if the W7J bluetooth supports A2DP?

    I have been searching all afternoon. I'm lost. I guess I'll just order a pair and see how they work.

    The Widcomm drivers supplied by Asus for the W7J does not support the A2DP profile. Looking at the bluetooth drivers on my W7J, it looks like the bluetooth module uses the Broadcom 2045 chipset. You can try using a hacked set of drivers available on the Internet which does have A2DP profile support for the same chipset but there are no guarantees this will work, so use at your own risk.

    I'm not too sure about A2DP. But I got my bluetooth headset working on the W7J. It's the I.tech S38. It's made for mp3 cellphones. But it works fine with the W7J. I can listen to music and use it as a headset using the headset and headphones profiles.
