I haven't researched that much. But I am interested in getting a BT stereo headset for my iPad2. The Plantronic backbeat 903 (external link) is the only one that suggested by a friend. This one is $99 at a local store. Is this too expensive?

I understand that there are limitations to some BT headsets over iPad. Especially the ones with mike.

Not with the iPad but I've got a pair of Motorola S9-HD's that I use with my iPod touch. They're very good but do not provide the depth of sound that my Skullcandy FMJs do. That said, I love the fact that I can do anything in them and not get tangled up with wires.
I paid about £25- (gbp) on eBay for mine.
HTH,
Noel

They don't have that model at the store I was looking at. But they do have the Motorola Stereo Bluetooth Headset (S10-HD). Thanks for your suggestion. I'll keep it in mind.

I have the Motorola SH9-HD too....it isn't designed for people with differing sized heads. The sound isn't bad, but not in the league with my normal Bose earbuds. On days when wireless is the only way to go...it is acceptable....and it works great for phone calls.

- I assume you meant that the band are not adjustable.
- Bose are wired & expensive?
- that's ok. I'll be using it mostly for watching movies and listening to music.

I'm still waiting for more recommendation.

The band is not adjustable. The Bose buds I have are wired. And phone quality won't be an issue if you are just listening to music and movies. I use my headsets for multiple devices, so that is why I mentioned the phone quality.
