Suggestions bluetooth dongle with 3.5 mm plug

Hi,
I'm looking for suggestions on a bluetooth dongle with a 3.5 mm plug. Info on which ones work well and where to buy them. Also is there one that will work with a cell phone bluetooth headset such as the Motorola h700. I really only need mono not stereo. Thanks for your help.

These are what they look like. They are very pricey and I've already wasted a lot of money on headphones and equiptment that doesn't work so I thought I'd check before spending more money to see if someone had some advice.
Thanks so much for your reply

I've seen something like this in stores before. It's so you can use a BT headset with an older phone that doesn't support BT. It plugs into your phone's headset port and basically just converts that to BT.

There was a time, oh, say, 3 or 4 years ago when these were easy to find. There were some models of headsets from Jabra and Cardo Scala that even included the "Bluetooth Adapter" with the headset. The best one I saw was very compact, a fraction of an inch thick and maybe an inch to an inch and a half square in size. Even included velcro with it. You'd put the velcro patch on a convenient location on your phone (such as the battery door) and then attach the BT adapter to the velcro so it was easier to carry with your phone.

But as Bluetooth has increasingly become a standard feature on the majority of phones, those Bluetooth adapters have been slowly getting harder to find. I don't know if you can find them in stores very easily, you'd be better off trying to find one online if you're really determined to get one.

But the best thing to do is to just ditch that old phone in favor of a newer one that has Bluetooth built-in!

The jabra a210 is 2.5mm, you might also want to buy an 2.5mm to 3.5mm adapter.

Yep, that seems to be the easiest to find. In fact...

right now you can BUY 6 OF THEM FOR ONLY $3.99!!!*




*The units in question "failed their power-on test", so they probably don't work.
