I want to buy a bluetooth headset that I can listen to music/tv on. I am looking to buy the one below. Will it do what I want?

Thanks.

If you have any better suggestions for a headset, let me know. I just want a good quality bluetooth headset. None of those headphone style ones that go in both ears or anything like that. Just a nice, simple, headset that is for just one ear that I can use for calls and listening to streaming music on stuff like Pandora, MP3's, sprint tv, etc.

It should, as there is an option in the Bluetooth settings to route all system audio to any bluetooth headset. I have a Plantronics Voyager Pro, and its not the greatest audio out there, but it is decent for listening to music.
Here are the instructions for changing said setting:

Quote:

Bluetooth Audio through Headset
· This is to route all audio, including music and system sounds through the headset.
· Go to “Settings” Tab, press “Menu” -> “Bluetooth Settings”
· A window with three tabs will come up, press the first tab, which is Settings.
· Press Advanced
· Press Audio
· Check the “Play system sounds on remote hands-free device” Checkbox.
· Press Done
· Press Exit
