    I'm thinking of buying a BT stereo headphone and stereo adapter to use with my HEL80. Does someone have any experience with following devices?

    Bluetooth Stereo Headphones:
    • HT820 Motorola
    • BH-501 Nokia
    • BH-601 Nokia
    • BT620 JABRA

    Home Stereo Adapters: (can connect mobilephone/computer to home stereos and home stereos to BT headphones)

    • DC800 Motorola Bluetooth® Home Stereo Adapter
    • AD-42W Nokia Audio Gateway

    I think my current favourite is Motorola for some reason...

    I have a question of you. Will you also be using a bluetooth mouse? If you are, I would recommend you not even buy a bluetooth 1.2 headphone set, because 1.2 has very limited bandwidth (1 mbps), and your music and your mouse will most likely skip and lag. Even without a mouse, I would wait for bluetooth 2.0 headphones to come out, which should be in a few months. They will have better stereo quality and no chance of lag and such.

    I have cordless mouse, but it isn't a bluetooth mouse (Logitech RX600). I will probably go to some local retailer and test some of those headphones, but I'm not going to rush on buying them. Thank you for the tip!
