Bluetake i-PHONO Mini Bluetooth Headphones
"Designed for an active lifestyle, the i-PHONO mini Bluetooth Stereo Headphone combines the stylish design and reliable technology in the ideal mini size units. With Bluetooth� wireless technology, the i-PHONO mini headphone gives you the convenient wireless way to enjoy the streaming stereo music transmitted from the Bluetooth A2DP*1-Source device such as a mp3 player, PC or PDA in the available range. Moreover, you can use the i-PHONO mini headphone to remote control the music playing functions of your Bluetooth device if it supports Bluetooth AVRCP*2 in addition"
About a year ago, for my birthday, I was lucky enough to receive a pair of Bluetake i-PHONOs. Since then, they've been a fairly constant companion to my mp3 player, my pocket pc, and my laptop whenever I want a nice wireless headphone experience. Now Bluetake is releasing a smaller version of their headphones without the only thing that I dislike about my pair - the behind the neck retaining piece! With this latest offering from Bluetake, I don't think we'll be unhappy!

These are pretty cool and they still come with a microphone! I too was thinking of getting the 'behind the neck' version, but for some reason, that type of headphone hurts my ears. So I held off and was looking for an 'over the head' version.
These might do the trick if I can get a secure fit. I wonder how much they cost.

Anybody know what the microphone is for? If they allow one to answer cell phone calls like the Motorola HT820s, then these would be great.
Edit: nevermind, I found it in the specs. Yes, you can pair it simultaneously with a cell phone, and it pauses the music when a call comes in.

When I was a kid, the mono 45 (single) and 33 (long play) players were called "phono" (around here anyway), as opposed to the later "stereo" players. Just don't think they should called it i-PHONO if its stereo. :)

The biggest missing feature I can see is the lack of volume control. If I can't do that, then I'll be forced to pull my PPC out often. Other than that, they look like the perfect Christmas present.

The "multi-function roller" shows a + and -. I'm willing to bet (something small) that's the volume control.

You're right. The functions part of the page doesn't list Volume Control functionality, but when I opened the pdf about pairing the headphones with a PDA, it tells how to do it. You roll it for volume and roll and hold to go next or previous. I'm sold.
