Basically the Globalsat Bluetooth Entertainment Pack supports three scenarios: Connecting the headset to your mobile phone to use it as a Bluetooth headset. Connecting the headset to the audio gateway to get audio streamed wireless from virtually every device with audio output. Connecting the headset to a Bluetooth stereo enabled device to get the audio streamed without the need of the audio gateway. For sure you can combine some of these scenarios above like connecting it to a mobile phone as well as to the audio gateway in parallel. "</i><br /><br /><img src="http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/images/web/2003/ekkie_unwired_globalsat_bluetooth_entertainment_pack.jpg" /><br /><br />This might be one of the most interesting Bluetooth stereo headset offerings I've seen yet, if for no other reason than because it appears that you should be able to plug any stereo headset with a standard 3.5" plug into the the receiver unit. The downside (and not the fault of Globalsat in any way) is that you need to carry that additional receiver (assuming you don't have your own BT headset that you prefer) and then you'll also have to carry the transmitter unit if your stereo device doesn't support Bluetooth. Nevertheless, this pack seems to provide trememdous flexibility, but does it deliver? Check out the review to find out.

i.tech clip R35, basically, does the same thing and it's even smaller than this one. i still like the looks of this one better though. it seems more practical. i'll have to try both to before i can decide.

It does half of this. The Clip R35 is the reciever that can take whatever headset you want to connect in, but it doesn't have the TX that you can plug into about any media source.

I am in the same case, owning an Eten M600 with A2DP and AVRCP Bluetooth profile I am not interessed in the Tx Transmitter.

The Bluetooth headset can be purchased alone : http://www.bluetrade.fr/produit.php?id=6967

I already have an HP bluetooth headset. I used it with a Hx4700, as anyway the HP headset doesn't include a microphone for calls.
The Hp headset have great sound but sound scramble every 30-45 min. I have to turn it off and turn it on... quite annoying.
This headset seems far better, I can't wait to upgrade. I will keep you informed :)
