Is it compatible with Skype via Mac PowerBook Bluetooth? I would like to know if anybody knows if it is possible to use the headset via the bluetooth connection to my Mac PowerBook when I use Skype?

I have no problems at all with this headset on my PowerBook G4 and my iMac intel core duo both running it with Skype and eyeBeam.

I have not used this headset with Skype on the Mac, but I have used several others. Any Bluetooth heasdset will work with Skype on the Mac. You will have to set up Skype to use it. It is fairly easy.Skype does get a little annoyed if the headset is not in range when you try to use it. It doesn't really like to switch on-the-fly like a cell phone.

Plantronics said yes when I talked to them today. I ordered the 510 and will let you know on Tuesday.

George, you posted this in September, and you haven't been back to give a review of your findings. I'm standing by, ready to order one of these Voyager 510 headsets, but I really wanna know if it will be compatible with both my Blackberry 7105 AND my Mac Powerbook lappy.Please post a yes/no just as soon as you are able?

The bluetooth connection from Plantronics to my laptop is flawless. It works as expected most all the time. I find that if I have to move around or the bluetooth is rubbing on my face (if not shaven recently) it can jumble a few words. The most important thing to do is train Dragon with the bluetooth and not just a headset...hope that helps.

I just tried pairing it with my powerbook Mac laptop. I am running I think one of the latest versions of OSX. When trying to pair it, It said it could not identify Keyboard. then it ask me to press the button to the right and left of the shift keys. When I pressed the botton to the left of the shift key(up arrow) nothing happened. So I pressed the (/) key instead and the keyboard was now paired. I thought this meant that it would not be paired correctly but I tried most of the buttons on the keyboard and it works fine. So yes it works with the laptop just not as smoothly as one might hope for. Yet I have not detected any problems.

Yes and no. First, this headset is not USB; you would be better off with a headset that connects via USB. This headset has one jack for the microphone and one jack for the the speakers (ears); your Macbook has only one jack for listening (speakers for the ears), but your Macbook has no jack for the microphone. Logitech has other models that are USB. Recommend getting a USB headset.

I haven't purchased yet, but the reason I would like to buy this one is the Skype capabilities. Will this work with the Skype app on an iPhone or iPad? I know it is set up to work on a pc/laptop, but I want to be sure it is compliant with app's also...this is for my husband who travels every week. Thank you!

I don't know about a mac but we're using a headset with integrated mic and headphones on a PC and it works fine.

Hi; I just received my Sony DR-BT21IK/B, and it does indeed have a mic. I bought these headphones (in part) because I had hoped to use them for Skype with my gen 2 iPod Touch. So far, though, I cannot figure out how to make the microphone work properly when making a call with Skype. When placing or receiving a call on the iPod Touch using the Skype app, a warning message telling me that I should hook up a microphone pops up, and it won't let me place or receive the call until I dismiss the message. The operating instructions that came with the headset have not proved helpful with this problem, and I do not see any relevant settings on my iPod itself. Actually, I came back to this site in the hopes that there would already be a relevant discussion thread letting me know what I should do, but it looks like you and I may be just starting the troubleshooting. I do not know if this problem is related to the fact that the current generation of iPod software does not include Bluetooth support. I do not know if this problem is remediable. I do not know if there is a simple fix for this that I am missing. I would welcome support from any more tech savvy folks out there.

Using a Mac with osX10.7 I was able, not on a Mac with osX 10.5.8- I do not have access to a PC with Bluetooth to say so or not.

I haven't tried it but I should think it would be ok if using a dongle. I have a macbook that works fine with it's built in bluetooth. Just pair it using the software that came with your dongle and the speaker should be good to go. Once paired you can set your skype input and output to usb.

I had it work with my mac for about 1 hour... and now it doesn't work at all... Honestly I would avoid for mac.. even when it did work my mac claimed it couldn't recognize the device.. I think it just may be broken... not happy at all with the purchase.. hope that helps...

Hey Fung, I bought the Logitech Quickcam for Notebooks Deluxe (B). I have a iBook G4, OS X version 10.4.11, and downloaded macam hoping I could web-cam with family in the USA (calling from New Zealand). Macam shows me the picture, and has no sound, but the macam is not supposed to be a conference program..just the driver. Hope this helps. I can;t get it to work with skype...I would be wary of buying this model. Hmmmm so I re-installed skype, macam AND moved the macam source folder into library/quicktime folder, aswell as the instructions to move the .component over.. and it just worked!

All you have to do, is to raise the microphone to the upright-position, and it mutes-itself . And, if you have a later Mac O.S., it is totally compatible with a Mac, controllable by the "System Preferences":"Sound"-pane .

to the person that mentioned their sound card.... i don't know what kind of mac you have but i 've been having this problem with headsets and my g5 late 2005 for some reason macs don't always support the mic on pc compatible headsets etc so i was told by mac support to either buy an imic that would convert the mic and sound plugs into a usb headset or better yet to go to the website for mac dictate or the software that mac made previously to recognize voice and buy one of their certified mics at least then you know that it will work with other mac applications that really do need a sensitive mic. I hope it helped i just had the problem and am again trying to solve it now that i have rosetta. I tried the imic and it still didn't work but i could have bought a better headset to go with the imic and maybe that would have worked.
