So my bluetooth headset adapter is not just a POS

About a year ago, I brought a bluetooth headset adapter (Macsense BlueICE Headset) so that I could turn any regular headphone into a bluetooth headphone.  It was then proven that it was a stupid idea, because the dangling cable of a regular headphone connecting to this bluetooth headset adapter is as messy as directly hooking to the device (be it iPod Touch or mobile phone).  The biggest reason why people use bluetooth headset is to get rid of all the dangling cable, and this adapter does NOT solve the problem.  As the result, I have this adapter left in my closet, classfied under the group "gadgets that sounded cool until I actually use it".

But yesterday I found out a cool way to use this device.  I simply connect this adapter to my home stereo system, and then pair this headset adapter to all my bluetooth capable devices: iPod Touch, Android phone and iPad.  Now, whenever I need to playback something from my device, but want to hear better sound quality than the build-in speaker, I can turn on bluetooth and play to audio thru this headset adapter.  The best part is that there's no dangling cable between my device and the stereo system.

The sound quality was actually pretty good.  In fact, playing PacMan Champion edition on iPod Touch with home stereo system is much better an experience than using the build in speaker.  At last, this used-to-be-POS device has some decent usage.
