    How many devices can the Sony bluetooth handle? Now I already have a bluetooth mouse. Can I add another bluetooth headphone?

    Bluetooth is limited to 7 devices simultaneous. So, you will be able to use a mouse and a headphone at same time without any problem.

    I bought a Nokia bluetooth headset, and tried to use it as a wireless earphone. I got it connected with my Sony FW notebook, turn on the windows media player, but I did not hear anything from the headset.

    Can anyone help? Should I bought a bluetooth headphone instead?

    I something similar before.

    I know with Sonic Stage I had to restart the application after I connected the SonyEricsson headset.

    So basically, try playing around a bit. Also check that audio is actually connected under bluetooth services.

    I got the bluetooth headset connected, but the sound is still from the speaker. No sound from the headset.

    I'm having a similar problem as niceguy1234. My bluetooth headset is shown to be connected, but the sound still comes from my speakers. Then I went to Control Panel > Sound > Manage Audio Devices, and set my bluetooth headset as the default audio device. Only then did my bluetooth headset play the sound. Is this the way it's supposed to work? Or is there another way around it? Cos it's quite troublesome to have to set the bluetooth headset as the default audio device all the time.

    I've got a Toshiba A300/Y01 with a Logitech V470 mouse and a Nokia BH-501 headset but when I start using the mouse, the sound in the headphones cuts out until there's no mouse movement. Is this normal and does anyone know of a fix for it?

    In regard to getting sound to the headset, I do the same thing as lightrain.

    hmm! I' have to put a hold on that bluetooth headset purchase, until there is a good solution. How is the sound quality from BT headset compared to a wired earplug?

    There could be interference between your bluetooth devices because you use no passkey...

    Wired will always be better than bluetooh.
    (Or at least until wireless can transport more data faster than wires)
