Bluetooth stereo headsets?
Well, I finally got a bluetooth cell phone that can do A2DP stereo, and my laptop has bluetooth and I would like to get a headset that would work well with my phone and also be good for Skype and music with the laptop, and perhaps work with some other devices. High quality audio is a primary requirement. Portability would be nice but is secondary to audio quality.
I'd also be interested in any suggestions for a fairly small, portable bluetooth headset with good sound quality (on both ends) primarily for use with the mobile phone.
TIA

I might get the Motorola HS820, which is supposed to be stereo bluetooth, (and a handsfree to boot).
Would like to get confirmation that it works with my Dell D600 (with optional built-in BT chip), but even if phone only, very cool. But would prefer phone and computer in one.

The Plantronics 590A sounds pretty nice and seems like what I am looking for. My main concern about it is that it has been out for a while now (over a year, I think) and thus might be about to be replaced by a newer model.

That is a concern with about all electronic items. Get the best you can afford and keep it as long as possible. It's all out-of-date the minute you buy it.

For something more portable you might want to consider the i.Tech S38, which is what I use.

A new Bluetooth earbud solution is the new Etymtoic 8:

They're rather odd looking, but Etymotic's earbuds are great if you can stand to wear in-ear devices. This won't work for a phone (no mic), which is what the OP was asking about, but these are a rare stereo Bluetooth device so I thought this might be worth mentioning here.
