I was able to get the headset to work in Windows 7 64-bit. You have to set your computer's Bluetooth to "Discoverable", then turn on your headset. It should show up in My Bluetooth Devices, and it will make you download new Broadcom drivers. Should work after you install the new drivers. I tested it with Skype, seems to have decent call quality.

Your setup is different than mine. Mine is primarily used on a Macbook Air, latest OS version, w/Skype for long distance calls and have had no perceptible audio problems. Sorry I could not help completely.

Sorry but I've only used it with PCs so can't speak from experience but the manual does mention using it with a MAC

I don't think that technology is ready for mice. There are a lot of problems. Just google for BT problems with mouse. I have a Bluetooth Samsung laptop. I already used 2 BT mouse. It worked for a few months. The laptop stopped recognizing the mouse. I can see the mouse from my phone but not the laptop. I will not buy BT mouse anymore... Perhaps that is the reason why they don't manufacture BT mice. NANO USB works much better...

I don't know your specific program, but the Air Capsule operates in full Bluetooth dual mode (the same as plugging a combo earphone/microphone unit into the output jack(s) of a phone or computer). You may need to reset your hangouts settings to use the Air Capsule as the speaker and the microphone --- should be in settings --- all assuming that your MacBook Air has full Bluetooth 2.0 + EDR or better.

I tried installing the toshiba BT stack drivers. They seemed to work better for me. I was able to connect all if my BT devices with no problems. Google Toshiba BT stack.

I'm using a Lenovo wireless USB keyboard, which works well. Haven't tried a bluetooth.

I have used Bluetooth keyboards and mouses, but prefer Logitech parts that use the tiny unifying receiver. Takes up one USB port for both, and range is superior, they also connect at boot, don't need to wait for the BT drivers to load.

I had this exact problem with other BT headsets in the past.If deleting & re-pairing doesn't work, try installing a different bluetooth (drivers) stack-- usb adapters usually load windows standard drivers, but there are better ones out there.I had luck with WidComm also BlueSoleil drivers(which can simultaneously connect with your cell & pc. you can then take calls & dial out cell calls thru your pc -- great for recording etc)Anyways, most of these are readily available if you google & often available on manufacturer websites (hp, lenovo, etc)Got mine workinGood luck with yoursI am using my original halos with a cheapo 2.0 BT usb adapter I got for $1 w/free shipping too !!

Just started using this with my PC windows 7. Works after installing the driver that Windows provided. After the driver is installed, tweak its property, put the BT headset or orther BT device in discovery mode (consult user guide). My Soundbot BT headset requires the on button to be pressed for 7 seconds (until both green and red light flashes on the headset). Once connected it is all good for streaming pc audio wirelesly.

So far I have had no problems using it with my desktop. Response time is the same as if I was using the plugged in keyboard. Please let me know if you have any specific concerns and I will test them out.

Loren: Yes I'm using a Microsoft BT mouse on my HD+. It's the Sculpt Touch Mouse...seems to work fine.. Sometimes I have to recycle BT on the HD, but otherwise it works...and it's pretty neat.

i haven't had any luck so far, not because of skype but because the bluetooth on my computer won't register this as a full headset (mic and headphones) it only picks it up as headphones. i think this has something to do with pairing though. apparently it has two profiles, one utilizes remote controlling from the headphones and maybe the mic too and i guess the other only supports the headphones. i guess i'm going to try to UNPAIR them and see if that works.

I routinely use this camera with Google Hangout on both a Windows 7 and a Windows 8.1 computer. It has worked well.
