Overview

The Headset application allows this computer to use a Bluetooth headset (or any other device that offers the Bluetooth headset service) as the audio input and output device for this computer.

Possible uses include:

If this computer has on-board telephone hardware, a Bluetooth headset might be used as the audio input/output device to make/receive telephone calls.

If this computer has voice recognition capabilities, a Bluetooth headset might be used as the audio input device.

Any other scenario that requires audio input/output can potentially take advantage of a Bluetooth headset to replace a hardwired microphone and/or speakers.
