[Asterisk-Users] Portable USB headset for VoIP

[Mark Benson]

If you plan to go this route don't buy a bluetooth adaptor that uses the 
XTNDconntect software. I've never been able to get it to work properly 
and there are no updates since last year (from the hardware vendor at 
least). Its an Innovision Wavelinker USB bluetooth module. I can 
discover and pair the headset, but thats it... nothing... Have ordered a 
new bluetooth dongle - so will try that and see what happens.

Basically, you should just be able to pair the headset and then select 
it as an audio device in the multimedia settings in control panel (in 
windows) - when you disconnect the machine should revert back to the 
default hardware for audio playback.
