Bluetooth headset adapter options

[CJones]

Curious if anyone has stumbled onto a slick way to add bluetooth capabilities to a headset. Looks like getting 'built in' bluetooth connectivity adds about $2-300 to the price of a headset. Knowing that pilots are generally pretty thorough tightwads, I figured someone has come across some sort of whiz bang plug in adapter thing that gets the job done for less.

Looking for both ear and mic functionality - to be able to use phone to call for clearance through the headset when necessary.

Thoughts?

Just get a LS Zulu3 or Bose A20. The whiz bang adapter thing is not really cheaper in the long run.

nevermind, you need mic, this one is only for listening

I'd love to hear of one, too. I use this, for work:

Which allows you to connect standard 8 ohm PC or stereo headphones to a phone via bluetooth, but the microphone is built into the device. So the mic would be kinda lousy in an aircraft, and the headphone is 1/8" stereo, not aviation. I would love a version that could be adapted to a headset. Oh, the pic in the page make it look large, but it's really only about 2.2" x 1" x 3/8".

I use it because iphones saved 20 cents by not having a headset jack, and I want a lightweight headset rather than one where the battery and radio are by my head.
