    So does anyone know if anything like this exists? Im not talking like a headset, nor a phone type microphone thing, but just imagine regular headphones (Apple headphones, iBeats, Skullcandies, whatever you want) but theyre both separate and operate on bluetooth, still acting the same and transmitting music. I know quality wouldnt be as good but dear god I would be so happy. No more wires being cut (how my last iBeats got ruined), no more wires being in the way, no more huge stiff wire parts jutting out of the 3.5mm slot on your PMP.. Anything?

    Like the Jabra BT3030? A bluetooth receiver where you can plug in your own headphones?

    About as close as your going to get is like this Sony Wireless Stereo Headset not separate though never seen them like that and seems would be to easy to lose and require redundant parts to make them expensive

    Nah, more like Luthair74's thing. My PMP (Galaxy player 4.0) has bluetooth built in so I thought it would be a nice accessory. I can't see, do those require a reciever?
