On an earlier version of Ubuntu, I couldn't stop making my phone use my computer from being my "headset". I had to unpair everything. That was a while ago though, and I think things work better now. Can anybody else confirm or deny that Linux somehow broke audio? Also, I have an N900, and it's all bluez. I use a bluetooth headset all the time. It's had some good integration efforts from Nokia, but it's just regular Gnome libraries behind it. Randall Mason On Mon, Apr 19, 2010 at 2:57 PM, Jorden M <jrm8005@gmail.com> wrote:

I thought Bluetooth audio on Linux was still too much of an adventure to be worth it.
your requirements? Does it need to just need to get audio both ways from your face to your computer, or is it a wired handset, like your phone? I had a boss that had a Platronics Bluetooth phone headset (Bluetooth base station plugs into a handset jack, and the rest is wireless to your ear), and he really liked it. I've also liked many of my Bluetooth headsets from Platronics.

Going nuts here trying to find a headset I can use for long periods of time in VoIP. Last thing I bought was comfortable and worked OOB, but had very fuzzy sound in and out.
I've been using headsets with 3.5 mm jacks, but never found a hedset that was both comfortable and had decent mic output plus phones input. What to get?
VoIP needs are apparently very different than gaming needs... headsets that gamers like might not be the greatest for VoIP. VoIP headsets seem to be expensive for the build and/or quality.
I don't need fabulous quality for playing music (don't listen to music or watch movies), but VoIP must sound good on my end and on my contact's side too.
ALSA is working well here, want to keep it, but if anyone can provide clear direction on other options that do succesfully work with a non-zillion-dollar headset, I would dearly appreciate some consultation.
Does anyone have experience with USB or 3.5 mm headsets in (hopefully) Debian or Ubuntu?
TIA, Liz J
