Simply pair your headset, turn it on, then play your music through the 3rd party media players. | | Offline

In xPlayer you should go to Settings -> Audio Path and select among others
* Headphones,
* Headset
* Bluetooth
* Hands free
* Headset+Hands free
The newest xPlayer v. 1.0.1 can be downloaded from xPlayer :: BlackBerry :: Download or from wap.shapeservices.com
It is absolutely free and available for OS 4.2 and higher.
Hope you will enjoy it!

You can also use the Media Player that came loaded on your phone. Hit the menu button and sellect Enable Bluetooth.

Irene | Is xplayer better in anyway than the player that came preloaded on the 8130?

My Media Player doesn't have the option for Enable Bluetooth. Just has Enable Handset or Enable Speaker, depending on which setting I'm on.
I use the Motorola H500 -- does this not support Bluetooth via the media player?
I have a Verizon 8130, running the latest .97 OS.
I'd love to be able to use bluetooth with the blackberry media player!

|  Not even close, folks
I want to save others some time. I just installed xPlayer and bluetooth stereo doesn't truly work. It's the same old low-budget bluetooth "headset"-quality that every other method so far ends up producing.
I have some great IOGear bluetooth headphones that have a little mic jack, so they double as a headset as well as true headphones. Once paired, they display three services: Audio Sink, Headset, and Hands-free. When I use them with my mp3 player or computer, they sound crystal clear. I'm pretty fussy and they sound about 80% as good as my "wired" headphones ... but about 10 times more convenient. When I selected "Bluetooth" from xPlayer's output settings, it sounded like a crappy stereo headset. I'd equate it to listening to AM radio. I don't know how people deal with that. Zero bass and just horribly muddled sound.
Don't waste your time if you have any sort of discerning ear. This is the typical false alarm for bluetooth music that I have gotten used to on this board. I'm still crossing my fingers that OS 4.5 will provide true bluetooth stereo streams. | | Offline

I haven't tried with the standard bluetooth headset with the newer OS's but in the past, the regular BT headsets didn't work with the OEM media player. It should work with a stereo BT headset, though. In no cases will video work over any BT headsets. | | Offline

What is the best, single piece A2DP compatible Bluetooth headset? I see a lot of 2-ear headsents, but I want to find something like the Motorola H500. | | Offline

I could be mistaken, but if it's A2DP, it's going to be stereo and subsequently two piece. | | Offline
