After struggling through... four(?) sets of BT headphones, and all of the associated drawbacks, I discovered the
Griffin iTrip Clip. Allows me to use whatever earbuds/headphones I want, without being tethered to the phone. And I've no idea why, but the BT is just better than any wireless earbud I've used-- it's dropped out maybe twice in hundreds of hours of use. Every other set of BT buds I tried would cut out near any strong signal source-- fire stations, etc. Also works while charging, so with a small USB pack, it will last for days.
