bluetooth stereo?????

I'm considering buying a new car. I like that says a bluetooth. what the hell does a Bluetooth radio to do?
Is this for handsfree or file sharing or what?

Is there such a thing as a Bluetooth stereo receiver that you can connect to an audio system?

I would like to be able to play music over my stereo system from my Bluetooth enabled notebook without connecting it with wires. It would be great if I could hook a Bluetooth receiver to the auxillary input port on my stereo. If you know of a product that can do this, please let me know!


go to geeks.com its made by logitec. I dont have the link but it on that site somewhere

Review: Jabra Halo Bluetooth stereo headphones

I love wireless technology and will write-off a lot of its downfalls for the advantages. For instance, it doesn’t bother me that the audio quality of the Jabra Halo is sub-par, because they are wireless and very comfortable. Plus, I can deal with a lot of connection issues if I can eventually get it to connect, but the Jabra Halo headset failed me one too many times.

Here’s what I like:

The Halo headset is super comfy . It’s by far the most comfortable headset of any type I have ever worn. It just slips on your head and stays put. They somewhat feels like ear muffs. I also think most people should be able to wear them while running or biking, and the fact that they can connect to two different devices at the same time could make that convenient.

But that’s it. That’s the only upside to the Halo headset.

Here’s what I don’t like:

The Halo headset is supposed to be one of those devices that are smarter than you. To turn on the headset, simply unfold it, says Jabra. That doesn’t always happen so sometimes you have to keep opening and closing the flimsy hinges to get it to turn on.

Those hinges make me nervous. I always feel like I’m going to break them. You have to give the arms of the headset a little tug while bending them downward to snap the hinge open. But there isn’t any metal in there and I’m afraid that the mechanism will not hold up. Plus, the fact that you have to do this to turn on the headphones makes it almost self-destructive.

This hinge also controls the Bluetooth connectivity. I had issues syncing it to my Blackberry, Windows 7 notebook and Mac a lot. It never once connected like it was supposed to. Instead I had to go into each device and tell it to look for the Halo headset.
