Bluetooth Audio vs. Bluetooth High Quality Audio

[domi]

I have two Bluetooth-related entries under "Sound, video and game controllers" in Device manager on my X60s:

1) Bluetooth Audio
2) Bluetooth High Quality Audio

What are their practical implications? Are there BT devices on the market (stereo headsets?) that would perform better with the latter?

Thanks, Dominique

There are, although it depends on how sensitive you are to it.
The BT HQA gives a higher bitrate in most cases as opposed to the BT A; although, if you are used to using a cell phone, BT A is good enough to get around the same quality through. If, for example, you were using a BT headset with Skype, you might want to use BT HQA instead.

Have you actually used a BT headset with HQA? If so, which one? Also, have you actually used a BT headset/micro combo with Skype? I understand HQA would be useful above all for listening to music; with a cellphone or Skype, ordinary BT A would be just fine.
