Hi Rob,

Many thanks.. Glad it was of use.
It's still working fine on my Laptop.
I'm actually thinking of get a 2nd one for my PC.
The Headphones allows for 2 connections.

Bit old I know... re: Broadcom Drivers
I have been looking at various Bluetooth devices.
I came across this, Broadcom Linux Driver:

Hello!

I don't know, but I have a Broadcom-based BT dongle to play with. Therefore, we'll check that out - because I sure would like to be able to use the Broadcom adapter for both Windows AND Linux!
