I have a Motorola Bluetooth Headset and I was wondering if it would be possible to use it with Skype on my Mac Book Pro.
Got a tip for us?

I don't see why you couldn't. As long as you already have all the equipment just try it out and see, you have nothing to lose.
Yes you can as long as your Mac has bluetooth, I have before.
If you go to the bluetooth preferences, there is an option in there to set up a new device. Go through that, it is pretty much the same as setting up the headset with a mobile phone on the headset side. Once they are paired, just open up Skype and in the Skype preferences there is an option to choose what audio source/output to use. Just select your headset and you are good to go.
Quick note, I found that Skype can become unstable to the point of having to do a restart to get it to work properly again if you start Skype before connecting/turning on your bluetooth headset. Now this was with an older version so it may have been fixed by now.
