I did do a search for bluetooth headphones in this forum, but couldn't find exactly what I was after...
So, I've got the N95 8GB now... Wicked, wicked phone! Loving it so far.
My new years resolution was to start going to the gym, but I need music for me to get through it! Could anybody recommend some decent bluetooth headphones that I could use with my N95 8GB? I'm not really one for ear phones, as they always fall out and, ultimately, I find them quite uncomfortable... I have seen the Nokia ones, but the one I saw was a proper closed-cap set (and they're expensive too!)...
Anyone have some bluetooth headphones that they could recommend?
Many thanks!
Been looking around too - decided to wait until the new S9 HD from Motorolla hits the market, details here . . .

It's a tough one... I'm after some that can be folded up really or something like that... Don't think there is too many options.
I always find ear phones fall out of my ears (especially when running). The in-ear phones may be an option, but it feels weird sticking them so far into my ears. Rather have some that go around my head, but then that has the problem of not being able to just slip them into my bag or jacket pocket without fear of breaking them...
I'm a fussy bugger.
I have some i-Tech BlueBand ones which are pretty good. They sit over your ear and clamp on well. They fold up and are pretty cheap if you shop on the bay.
Probably suit your needs pretty well, I wear mine for jogging.

Oooo.... They look perfect! Good price too... Thanks matey!
Soon as I get paid, I'm getting me a iGo Bluetooth Keyboard and the i-Tech BlueBAND Headphones!
Be carefull not to be mistaken for someone else wearing your headphones...😉
I put them on here before, but Play.com are doing some Sony bluetooth over ear ones for �12.99. Got a set last week and so far they work really well. Haven't tried them at the gym yet though.
Maybe too late here but I'd like to put my oar in for the Motorola S9.
They're comfy, waterproof and sound great.

Ahh Plantronics... the call centre agent's first choice! :tongue:
I too, would like to speak up about the Motorola S9 headphones and notice they can be had for less than �30 on ebay - just search for S9 in bluetooth.
I wear them in the gym and out on the bike - in fact everywhere and they're the best I've tried in terms of lightness, portability and most importantly to me, sound quality.
Just a word of warning - I've found that the N95 is a bit susceptible to very large movements between phone and bluetooth device and this happens with every device I've tried with the phone. If you keep the distance between the phone and headphones fairly constant - ie in Camelbak on the bike or back pocket in the gym then there's no problem. Anyone else find that?
do all these also have a builting mic for taking calls?
I have just found the Sony Ericsson Stereo Bluetooth Headset HBH-DS220 on mobilefun http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/14306-Sony-Ericsson-Stereo-Bluetooth-Headset-HBH-DS220--Black--Reviews.htm
Quite expensive at £46, but their usp is the BT receiver has a standard 3.5mm jack, so you can use any earphones you wish with the unit.
Edit.
There is a fuller description on the Expansys site http://www.expansys.com/d.aspx?i=150825

I have a pair of Gear4 bluphones. They are extremely light and give out good sound quality. They also have a built in microphone, and volume and track skip buttons. I have used them in the gym with no problems. They cost me �50
for gym music and workout music, I recommend european dance music.......
it's ALWAYS the best motivational tool for me...
.....and you don't have to tell anyone at the office if u just listen to it on the mp3 player at the gym 😉 ....
.... here's a compilation series on itunes that I recommend:

I use the Nokia BH-500 set and I'm really content about its usage.
I don't like the big - over the head - headphones. And this is a perfect solution if you don't mind clipping the (not really heavy) unit to your jacket or shirt.
The sound quality is fine, the battery life is awesome (haven't recharged it yet and have been using it for 3 weeks, not that much though, but daily) and it supports the same functions the wired headset does.
I'm using the Nokia BH-903, my first pair of bluetooth headphones and i'm very impressed.. Should be i guess as they aren't cheap.. Only thing with them is that you can't use your own headphones but haven't had any problems with them and they sound great.
