Hi, I've been trying to decide whether or not to get a Stereo Blue Tooth headset for use with my Macbook, (Santa Rosa 2.2 GHZ).

I've read the reviews and talked to a couple people that use the Motorola Bluetooth Wireless Stereo Headset S9 with a Think Pad with Bluetooth enabled. He's gotten it to work pretty seamlessly, just listening to music and what not. Sound quality isn't great, but I'm wondering if there's a better option.

Is anyone currently using a pair of these, or a similar pair of stereo blue tooth head sets to listen to music, possibly a voice chat client, and possibly using the mic on them for a voice chat client ? (Vent or something) I don't even know if that's possible, but it's an interesting idea.

I'm probably just going to get a USB headset, but I thought the idea of having a wireless headset would just free up some mess 😀, although I'd probably be sacrificing some sound quality and what not. It'd just be nice when I was sitting on the couch, or sitting somewhere on campus!

IS it worth it or not?

Logitech make a nice one - sound is esp. good but it's bluetooth capability means charging them a lot.
