Wireless headsets?
Has anybody found decent wireless headsets? I'm just bored on cables getting tangled.
I'm looking for something I could use both with my laptop and my Nokia E90 (for MP3 listening). Being able to use the headset as a phone hands-free device would obviously be a plus.
Stereo Bluetooth would make sense too - assuming there are working stereo Bluetooth drivers available for Windows XP?
I'm thinking along devices like Nokia BH-601 or maybe Sennheiser MX W1 - any experiences, anybody?

I hadn't thought about it before, but I guess wireless headsets would be banned from use on aircraft as they contain a transmitter. 
Doesn't France also have some funny rules about using Bluetooth headsets in public places?

I guess the same could be said for my wireless travel mouse and syncing my PDA phone in flight via Bluetooth, but Ive yet to be called on it by a FA.

Obviously not travelling on Air Canada where twice in the last 6 months I've been asked/told to stop using a wireless mouse by a FA.

I bought a pair of jabra BT620s from an Apple store a couple years ago. Comes with an adapter to make your ipod wireless. Pairs with my treo at the same time. Can be listening to ipod and if a call comes in it pauses my ipod automatically and I can answer the call. Can also change songs etc via controls built into the headset.
I have been told that they aren't exactly within regulation for use while on an aircraft...

Soyo makes one that has both functionalities, plus you look cool if you are seeking the "I am wearing blinking marshmallows in both ears" look.
