    I recently got a bluetooth enabled notebook and would like to get some bluetooth headphones for it: nothing else required other than getting dongle-less, wireless audio from the notebook, and reasonable audio quality with (hopefully) relatively light and compact headphones.

    Searching around for options has left me totally confused -- can anyone give me suggestions for what headphones would fit my criteria?

    There's a very recent thread on this topic already, check that first to see if it helps.

    Well, I did do a search of the forums (before posting :) ), and perhaps I missed something, but I didn't find much that helped, apart from a little bit about the Logitech BT headphone, and a mention of the Toshiba headphone. (Do they work with any BT notebook? It wasn't clear that they would from what I've read. And are the Logitech/Toshiba/HP iPAQ basically the same headphones?)

    I also found the Bluetake headphone (not really what I'm looking for), and some sort of upcoming Plantronics headphone (apparently with a dongle). Overall, the pickings seem really slim for plain, decent quality, BT headphones to use with a BT-enabled notebook...

    They're all very similar and any will work with a Bluetooth device that supports the headset profile. They just aren't real popular yet, so it's hard to find reviews.
