Bluetooth headphones with mac mini

Most bluetooth headphones require a transmitter that is paired with them. Like the iMuffs. You need to check if the headphones you want to use can be paired directly to the computer.
How do I know if the headphones can be paired with the bluetooth in the computer.
Thanks
You should really never, ever need a proprietary transmitter for a bluetooth device, by definition.
The issue is that OS X 10.4 does not include A2DP for Bluetooth, which is the advanced audio protocol that allows for stereo audio. It's necessary for stereo headphones or really any BT application that streams *music* as opposed to just a phone conversation (headsets for phones don't use A2DP).
If this is an Intel-based Mini, you might be able to benefit from:

Apparently, Leopard will also include A2DP.
