I am looking for a wireless gaming headset that would let me play games with sound (more on this later) & use teamspeak at the same time.
I recently purchased a Motorola wireless bluetooth headset (HT820), but it does not let me use both Teamspeak (or skype for that matter) & a game at the same time (or video, music...). Any idea why this is happening & if I just need to switch headset or if I can reconfigure the headset to make it work ?
If there are wireless headsets that can do both, please let me know the exact reference.
Any help would be greatly appreciated...

I was researching for the exact same thing as you. The HT820 won't work because it only serves two functions. As a stereo bluetooth receiver and also as a duplex mono headset. So you are right that you can't use it in stereo mode to play a game and at the same time use it to speak. It just doesn't support both features at the same time. It's as if it only has two channels to use and it can either use them to receive left and right audio channels OR to transmit a mono channel and recieve a mono channel.

So I as you are wondering... is there any bluetooth solution as far as headsets are concerned that will be able to deliver stereo reception and transmit with the microphone at the same time for use with pc games?
