I've been using several Bluetooth headsets for years. One is the Jabra BT320s. I've been using it mostly to watch TV while I workout. I didn't like to blast the TV over the sound of the StairMonster and really didn't want to hear the sound of the StairMonster anyway, so I use sound isolating ear buds. I block out the sound of the machine, and hear the TV, or music that's on my phone, perfectly.
I bought a second one, Motorola s705, because I would forget to charge the other one and wanted a back up so I didn't have to wait. They both paired up with all of my cell phones, I think the Moto can pair with up to 8 devices, I can't recall how many w/ the Jabra. The Jabra is also rain/water resistant.
The sound isolating earbuds that I use are Sony MDR-EX71SL. They have the J-shaped cord that goes around your neck, and when you pull them out they'll just rest on your shoulders, plus they have a short lead, so I can clip it onto my collar, but I also have a long extension lead for a normal length cord.
For TV use, I use the Sony HWS-BTA2W transmitter/receiver. I only use it as a transmitter. I have one for when I'm in the kitchen, running water, and clinking dishes and I have one in the living room where I have my StairMaster.
One of the things I like about this kind is that I can change out my earphones. So if one set breaks, I don't have to replace the whole bluetooth.
Needless to say, my wireless headsets get plenty of use!
