Using bluetooth headset -- mic has lots of feedback

[phantomglare]

I just purchased a bluetooth headset to use with freephoneline on my computer (which runs Windows 7). I can hear the audio OK with it, but when I use the mic, there is so much feedback that it's not barely useable. I know the problem isn't with the headset -- when I use it with Skype (including the mic) it sounds just fine. What can I do to try and fix this?

Seems to be audio levels if it's feeding back.. does the headset come with any sort of control panel? Our software simply relies on the default audio device in Windows - it doesn't do any other audio manipulation or control.

No, there aren't any dedicated settings for this headset. Just whatever you can do to play around for mic settings in Windows 7. Anybody else have this problem? I really don't think this is a hardware (i.e. mic) problem - like I said, other VOIP programs on my computer work fine with this headset. The mic feedback is so bad that I'd be embarrassed to call someone using freephoneline right now (not that the conversation could be heard, anyway).

It would be great if the software included the ability to adjust mic settings.
