Hi guys, has anyone tried connecting a Bluetooth "hands-free" headset mic with a receiver dongle?

I don't know if it'll pair.. Normally, the headset or any dongle has a device with a much better interface (like phone or MacBook) so I dunno how it'll work with a dongle that doesn't even have an LCD for tinkering with settings or anything..

For example, a headset,

And a receiver dongle

Would it just work if they're both a2dp, and BT 2.1EDR...?

How would I pair them?

The thing is, I'm trying to get the mic to work on the speakers' aux settings via BT.

Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

PS. I've tried using a BT headset paired with my MBP and got LineIn to have it pass through, it works, technically, but there's an unmistakeable latency that makes it less than ideal.
