SCO is bidirectional and thus using a Bluetooth headset for gaming is possible. The A2DP is a distribution service and you can have multiple sink and source combination. So a headphone can also have a microphone channel to send high quality voice (for voice recognition) back. However I haven't seen such a product so far, but it seems that the Toshiba SR-1 may is capable of something like that. Check my webpage.
