3.0 Stereo Bluetooth

[Ronnoco]

I just paired my 3 year old Gold Lantern Stereo bluetooth headphones I had lying around I used to use with the dongle and my Samsung LCD tv...
Paird perfectly and they sound pretty good! (I paid about $75.00 for these 3 years ago and now Amazon has them for $27.00)...
I just LOVE listening without the darn wires ...man, if it is at all possible to catch that wire on something I seem to find a way to do it...
Everything works (phone, iPod, games...no track control or pause though)...

I'll get a better pair soon, but for now theses Gold Lanterns are doin the job...
Lovin' Stereo Bluetooth on my 3GS!

@SFC
Thanks for your review. Got a question though, have you tried listening to Pandora for let's say 15-20 mins (or more) and did you encounter any skips on that Plantronics BT headset?

I have listened to Pandora and ooTunes radio for long periods of time 3-4 hours without incident. Skipping has occurred in the last day if I have the iPhone on the opposite side of my body while listening to audio books. On the same side I am not having any issues. I am hoping that the Broadcomm Chip in the 3Gs will work better then what is in the 3G.

I have also had to start using the optional ear hook for just the phone part because when it is hot and your ear gets sweaty, the gadget starts to slide out. Still do not feel the weight with either hook.

My current fav:

Plantronics Voyager 855

Another vote for the 855. Works great!

I guess we need to wait for Forward/Back support. I love the idea, but no track control is a deal breaker for now.

Just bought these at Best Buy for $80. Fit over the ears so they are more comfortable than in-the-ear models. Obviously not for runners.

The on-headphone will start and stop the iPhone iPod but skip/reverse track does NOT work. I was pretty surprised (until I read this forum).

Track skip does work when connect to my MBP; tested that just to make sure the headphones were working. Kind of annoying that Apple left this out on the iPhone. But I guess that no cords is nice enough that I'm keeping them anyway.

They do come with a microphone that seems to work with the phone part.

For 30 bucks i'll have to give it a try.
