I hate wearing headphones attached to a wire, since I generally snag the wire all the time, yanking the 'phones out of my ears. I did a clumsy workaround by attaching an rf transmitter to my MP3 player, and dial in a set of FM headphones--so no wires from the headphones to my MP3 player. But thre's gotta be a better way.1. Whynot bluetooth headphones for MP3 players. I have seen them for phones, but not music.2. Whynot a bluetooth to rca jack, so you can plug in a pda and connect to a stereo, tv, etc.?

Too much network/system overhead I suppose.

I've been looking all over for this. It could be that Bluetooth can't support the data rate, not sure.

Let me know if anyone finds this:

CD-quality audio is 1411 kbps and Bluetooth tops out at 723 kbps. So the headphones themselves, on top of the bluetooth receiver and D-to-A converter, would also have to perform decompression, and have a buffer, etc.

What's wrong with existing wireless headphone technology, by the way?

In that case you could do MP3 decompression in the receiver.
