Is there a need to distinguish between bluetooth adapters for TV versus something else? (like just audio, or for a computer/laptop?)

I ask as I'm thinking of buying several of these:



http://www.amazon.com/StarTech-USBBT2EDR2-Mini-Bluetooth-Adapter/dp/B007019U4O/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1421711623&sr=8-1&keywords=%22+class+2+bluetooth%22



Supposedly, the item above is a class 2 product (65 ft reception.) and has the latest v2.1 + EDR compliant driver.


My goal is to have good bluetooth setup for this item to use w/ TV or a set of headphones or such for the same application:


http://www.amazon.com/iKross-Bluetooth-Headphone-Headset-Carrying/dp/B0055V0X7O/ref=sr_1_12?ie=UTF8&qid=1421711159&sr=8-12&keywords=%22+class+2+bluetooth%22


And I all ready have a set of these:




Link to the lg headset:

Lastly what is this for?

(link to the item)

http://www.amazon.com/Cootree%C2%AE-Portable-Bluetooth-Streaming-Smartphone/dp/B00K5HDEMO/ref=sr_1_13?ie=UTF8&qid=1421711623&sr=8-13&keywords=%22+class+2+bluetooth%22

I have a plug on my car stereo for a cable to use w/ my phone for music, but will this item below negate the need for the cable? Do they work well??


edit: so maybe I should have just said "what" I need: I want to use a bluetooth headset device, of some kind, either the LG one I already own, or the headset shown in the link above, with my TV .... AND also my laptop. Do I need two different kinds? Any links w/ some clarification is appreciated!



Any help w/clarification is appreciated!


regards, mitch

To use bluetooth, one item needs to confirm.

A bluetooth adapter for analog output uses the other end to confirm. If your headset can confirm...
