10.5: Use stereo Bluetooth devices in 10.5
Authored by: Wi-Gear on Mon, Nov 5 2007 at 6:32PM PST

The computer model shouldn't matter very much. Maybe really old Macs can't handle it, but we have a PowerBook here that's several years old and does NOT have EDR-capable hardware, yet it handles stereo music over Bluetooth just fine to our iMuffs wireless headphones. I haven't confirmed, but my guess is that Leopard provides Bluetooth 2.0 for any Mac with Bluetooth. It might not be able to do EDR for every machine because that may require newer hardware. But the difference between Bluetooth 1.2 and 2.0 is usually just software.
