Bluetooth (wireless) stereo headphones and A2DP are, in addition to Push Mail, the current buzzwords. Just wanting to purchase one of them myself (I think I'll buy the Plantronics Pulsar 590A tomorrow - your opinions?), I've been thoroughly scrutinizing user opinions and reviews on the different models. During this, I was delighted to see English site Mobileburn and (unfortunately, non-English) PDAMania having both published some really-really cool roundups on some more recent headsets.
The (English) Mobileburn article can be found here (http://www.mobileburn.com/story.jsp?Page=6&Id=2770) and is really-really recommended. It contains a lot of detailed for example compatibility information and, as it's a comparative roundup, is far more useful than any non-comparative "review" (it, for example, directly compares the sound quality of each headset).
The PDAMania.hu review can be found here (http://www.pdamania.hu/content/6692) (second part; the first can be found here (http://www.pdamania.hu/content/6299/); it may be worth checking out for, say, the shots).
My readers know for sure I like translating or, at least, summarizing worthy reviews written in "obscure" languages (for example Finnish) into English (yeah, being European has certain advantages; for example, knowledge of several local languages); these articles are no exception. That is, here's a quick comparison chart I've created based on the information found in these two, latter articles (with some added tidbits based on the Mobileburn roundup):
(Note that if you encounter rendering problems, you can also access the chart here (http://www.winmobiletech.com/sekalaiset/btstereoheadsetchart.html))
