Help Play all audio through bluetooth only

Is there a way to make all audio (ringtones, notifications, music, voice) play via bluetooth only. I have a stereo bluetooth headset that I would like to use in an office setting. Having a headset in is a good way to keep people from lingering around my cube. :p I like having the notification beep through over bluetooth, but I don't want the phone making noise. Vibration works, but I don't feel it if my phone is charging. I've navigated through the bluetooth and sound menus, but I haven't found what I'm looking for. Any suggestions?
 
It will do it automaticly the blue tooth when on will be the default speaker for all I believe.
 
Mine plays music and allows voice through the headset, but plays notifications and ringtones through both. I'd really like to have everything on bluetooth only. When I make the ringer silent, I don't get any ringer or notification sounds in the headset.
 
what kind of blue tooth do mushatsu? also, how long can you listen to music on your bluetooth before it dies. i am looking to buy one i just dont even know where to begin
 
I have a Plantronics BackBeat 903+. I have been using it for about a week. Typically, I listed to music (Pandora) during the work day, about 6 hours listening time. The battery easily lasts this time. I also have used it on a couple 3 hour phone calls. Call and music quality is very good, though it is a little odd having a phone conversation where you hear it in both ears. Not a bad thing, just different. I haven't had any complaints about being hard to hear, both in quiet environments and driving. It does pick up a little wind noise when outside, but no more than the phone. It cost about $70 at Walmart. The reason I bought it was because my earpiece speaker died, and I needed some way of still using the phone while working with ZTE to warrentee the phone. In an office setting, speaker phone just isn't an option. The headset is comfortable enough to wear 10+ hours a day. I typically take it off for lunch, and when I'm home for the evening.

My other Jabra gnm-bt530 headset doesn't handle wind outside or wind noise in vehicles very well. It also doesn't stay secured very well. Call and music quality inside is decent, but because of the security problem, I needed a new headset to walk around the office. I believe it was about $60 back in the day. It's approximately 4 years old.

Hope that helps.
