Single ear Bluetooth headset to listen to music

I know this might be a very stupid question. but I want to buy a normal bluetooth headset can i use this to listen to music on my N95.

It does also support Stereo bluetooth headphones as well doesnt it?

The reason i just want the one ear is I will use it at work and need to be able to hear people.

Thanks

The N95 supports both the standard headset protocol and stereo headphones. I'm pretty sure that you can indeed use a standard headset for listening to music, but the quality will be quite low, as normal headsets are designed for human voice, and the protocol and hardware are not optimised for music.

Mithent is correct. Using a "normal" (e.g. not A2DP) headset will result in, not only mono sound, but REALLY BAD sound. It's like listening to music through an empty can...
Why not buy a stereo/A2DP bluetooth headset and then only use one plug in ear?
Personally I'm using Sony Ericsson HBH-DS970 (A2DP) headseth. No problem using only one of the "ear-plugs" for both conversations and music.
