    Seeing as the Dell Studio 15 has been getting universally lousy reviews with regards to sound I'm in the market for a bluetooth dongle (not internal in my studio) and bluetooth enabled headphones. I'd like the headphones to be under $100 cdn if possible. As for the dongle, I know absolutely nothing about which brand is good and which is bad. I guess what I'm after is something that will be easy to configure and reliable. Any suggestions?

    I realize this is way out of your pricepoint... however, I find that Sony's new DRBT160AS is awesome for quality! They're an in-ear type headphone, and are rather lightweight and confortable to wear.

    I use em and I'm glad I got em! :D

    Sony also has the DRBT21GB for $20 less, I assume it's quality is in the same range as the first unit, but I don't know how comfortable it is to wear, and there's also their first gen units, the DRBT10CX which is still above your pricepoint, decent, but not quite as good as the other two.

    CircuitCity recently had the Kensington Bluetooth adapter for $20 or so.
