New iPod owner here. I'm curious now about bluetooth headphones (or ear buds to be more specific). Does such a thing even exist? I absolutely hate regular headphones, so they've got to be earbuds, similar to what comes with the iPod (even if they're a bit bigger). Anything out there like this?

Thanks all!! :)

there are actually plenty of them.
i.e., http://www.bluetake.com/products/BT420EX/BT420EX_subC.htm
and Sony http://www.sonystyle.ca/commerce/servlet/ProductDetailDisplay?storeId=10001&langId=-1&catalogId=10001&productId=1003208&navigationPath=46881n32260n45560
and a review http://www.engadget.com/2005/07/07/bluetooth-headphones-for-ipod-reviewed/

all in all, iMuffs seems to be the most popular one (read: best one) to date http://www.wi-gear.com/products/imuffs/

i wish they could make some earbuds like the regular ipod headphone, the bluetooth ones now are too bulky.

You're probably not going to get much closer than a pair of "over-the-ear" ones that clip around behind the ear (but perhaps without a cable or anything between them). I dunno. Could be wrong, but actually wedging the entire transceiver into the outer ear canal just seems wrong. :o Not to mention it'll probably be some time before all the technology is minutarized to that extent...
