    I bought the motorola HT820's last week but returned them just before i purchased my SZ. I wasnt able to get them working with my desktop or my 17" dtr with targus bluetooth adapter.

    Has anyone tried a set with the SZ? And i think i may go pick them (ht820) up again tomorrow to test with my sz120.

    ikaris i know you have a response for me.

    Also does anyone know where to get over the ear (earcup style) bluetooth headphones?

    I paired my SZ160 with my Motorola HS850 and used it to listen to a DVD movie while on a recent plane trip (Good Night and Good Luck, if you're curious...lol). Audio quality wasn't the best in the world, but it was good enough, and the best part was that I didn't have any wires to deal with! I would definitely do it again.

    Wait, aren't you not allowed to use wireless stuff on planes ?

    Do they say Bluetooth accessories are OK ?

    Not sure as far the airlines go, but a bluetooth signal doesn't travel more than 30 ft. anyway...

    oh no the HT820 are bluetooth stereo headphones. No the typical bluetooth headset you use with your phone. Althought you can use the ht820 with your phone as well since it has a built in mic.

    **** those are exactly what im looking for. How is the SQ? and are there any local stores in the US such as bestbuy compusa and such carrying those?

    I want to try them in person before spending less online.

    I haven't tried them yet. I've been out of town all week, and they were delivered on Wed. My SZ was delivered today, hopefully with a properly functioning space bar. I'll play with them Saturday and let you know...

    im sorry...i just got back from compusa a few minutes ago. I went in there to repurchase the ht 820's but walked out with some wired sennheiser hd 515's. Im gonna test these out for a few days. Then get back on the bluetooth trail.

    lol dont worry, i like to exchange things all the time :p

    But im not too fond of the behind the ear style of the ht 820's. Its hard to lay in bed with them on.

    Those creative bluetooth headphones look mighty nice. :D :D

    When using the Creative headphones, does one need to use their dongle?

    Is it possible to use the internal BT to send the audio stream?

    I am new to BT.

    Does the SZ-110 specifically need this dongle?

    Is the BT on this laptop capable of sustaining an audio stream?

    just an update. I went ahead and bought moto ht820's and they work absolutly great. Battery on them lasts hours. I realyl recommend these things, if you looking for some bluetooth headphones for your SZ
