The most common Bluetooth profile that is available today in cell phones is the Headset profile. This supports the use of standard mono Bluetooth headset for making calls.

Another is the Advanced Audio Distribution Profile or A2DP that is also known as the stereo Bluetooth headset profile. This allows a dual-channel audio stream.

The Audio/Video Remote Control Profile or the AVRCP is able to provide a standard interface in order to control TV, hi-fi equipment, and other such devices. This profile allows a single remote control or some other device to control the AV equipment that are accessible to the user.
