Is it possible to use or get the Motorola BT HT820 headphones to work with the Dell Mini 9?

I don't have Bluetooth on my Mini, or a pair of Bluetooth headphones, but maybe I can steer you in the direction of an answer. Try searching the forums for "A2DP" for info on Bluetooth headphones. A2DP is the name of the specific Bluetooth protocol used by headphones.

I don't have the Motorola headphones but am using a Jabra headset, and it is able to do A2DP using the stock Bluetooth adapter under Windows 7.

I'm using a set of Motorola BlueTooth MOTOROKR S9 and they work in Win7 and OSX. I also have a third party INTERNAL BT module. See other thread here in this forum for the "alternative internal bluetooth module".

People with the headsets, do you need to connect the external bt reciever or are you using the intergrated bt from dell?

I use the S9 headphones as well and it works with my mini 9 flawlessly. I leave the bluetooth in discoverable mode and when I power up the S9 it finds it and connects automatically and loads the audio gateway. This pairing works better than any other bluetooth gadget I've ever used and I'm enjoying the hell out of it.

Can't comment on the motorola headset, but my sony headset works great with both osx and the iphone os3.0 betas. This is with an external bt adapter.

That's good to hear. Bought my wife one but she doesn't seem to be using it...guess I'll grab it for my Mini.

These (the S9s) double as a BT headset for my phone and it automatically switches over when a call comes in but I mostly just use them for my mini. I bought them specifically for airline travel and they work great for that. And because they are earbuds they work better for high noise environments like airplanes. Being able to just turn on the power on my headset and just start working is a real joy. I've used BT headphones in the past with my older XPS and it has never been as smooth as with this pairing.

I bought them on sale and I've been really happy but I just found out recently that the S9 HD version actually has simulated surround or maybe even real surround sound. Since I primarily watch recorded tv shows and movies on my mini I'm thinking that I will eventually upgrade them to the newer model. Just something to think about if you travel as much as I.
