Help - what headphones to buy?

[slickgrl500]

My boyfriend has a Motorola Droid and wants Bluetooth headphones. Does anyone have any recommendations on which would be good to get him? I don't know too much about this stuff and I want to get him a good gift.

I'm going to have to give a thumbs down to Motorola S9-HD. They were great for a while but after about 5 months the microphone went into permanent mute and another month after that most of the buttons stopped working. Apparently these are common problems.

I've been very happy with my Shure headphones. Any of these are great: Shure Americas | SE Earphones

I bought a Jabra Clipper (about $50-$60) which is a little tiny Bluetooth receiver that you can plug any pair of headphones into. It's designed to clip onto your clothes, but half the time I just throw it in my pocket. It also has controls on it that work with the built-in music player and they also work with the Slacker Radio app. I love this thing!

I have Motorkr S9-HDs and they work great... they're even tolerable outside! I got mine refurbed with a 2 year warranty from Square Trade so if they crap out it's just a matter of replacement.

I would follow this advice. Bluetooth headphones are generally expensive and sound like crap.

I registered just now to tell you that I purchased the Sony DR-BT50 headphones yesterday and they are an excellent purchase. While fairly expensive, ~$130, they can be found for slightly less on eBay, and are so far, amazing. Connection to my Moto Droid 2.2 was seamless, and the sound quality is great. I know people sometimes complain about how the quality of sound is inferior on a Bluetooth connection compared to a hardwire, but I couldn't tell, even compared to a set of Bose Tri-ports and a Sony professional DJ style headset.
