I bought a set of Shure's from BBuy for about $90. They are noise cancelling& very clear. My teenaged daughters seem to be shouting at me now when I have them in, and I can hear my g/f who whispers.
My only drawback is that they don't fit well in a motorcycle full face helmet. :/
Edit: I missed that you were looking for BT. Mine are wired. I prefer wired as I've always had issues with BT. I think it's me.

Never tried the ones you mention, but I use these and I like them-at under $40 I think it is a pretty good deal. Amazon.com: Motorola S305 MOTOROKR Stereo Bluetooth Headphones [Retail Packaging]: Cell Phones & Service
shotinthenads, those Motorola ones look nice and the Amazon reviews are favorable.
One question: does the Droid support the track controls available on these headphones?
EDIT: yes it does, just had to look at the product specs.

Rocketfish™ Mobile - RF-MAB2 High-Definition Stereo Bluetooth Headphones - Black - RF-MAB2
These bad boys are super comfy as they sit over your ears instead of in them. The bridge goes behind your neck instead of on top of your head. You can still where a hat if you like, you can lay on a bench and still do squats with them on. They sound great and all of the controls work with the Droid. Pause, play, forward back. They also have a mic built in and you can answers calls with them as well. They friggen rock, perfect for the gym. I dont know how long the charge lasts but I work out 2 hours a day 5 days a week and stream Pandora the entire time. The battery has never died, I just charge it once a week and Im good to go.

I use the S9s, run a little over 4 miles a day on the treadmill. No problems yet. They do sort of slide down the back of your neck, but you get use to it.
I hadn't heard about the Altec's before. They look like they could be good so I just checked Amazon reviews and a lot of people seem to have had reliability problems.
I'm looking for this too. I think I'll probably go for the S9-HD.
I'm still looking for a Droid compatible arm-band case too.

Yeah i think im gonna go with the Motorola S9-HD, seems like everyone has good things to say about them. Thanks everyone for your input.
I have the HT820. Probably not the best for the gym, but I like them. Sound quality is good and they sit on your ears not in like the S9.
I don't tend to sweat much, i wear mine in the gym 90 min 5x week and mountain bike rides on the weekends and have never had a problem. It may be different if you are a heavy sweater. The battery is only good for about 3-4 hours of use at med-high volume. I recommend getting a car charger so it can be charged everyday.
If you're cheap like me, you can buy a clone S9 for $20 SHIPPED!

How about the quality? There are many bluetooth headsets in this site.
If it is ok, I may buy one from them.
I've had Jaybirds for about 2 years...I use them when I run (outside on a trail) after work. They're pretty good, sweat doesn't bother them, and they stay on. I haven't used them with the Droid yet as I just got it last week...but they worked well with my old phone.
I have the S9 for about 9 months and they are on their last leg. The volume up is no longer working causing the volume lvl to be stuck on low. I do recommend them for working out! When I bought them 9 months ago they cost 80 bux, now I think they are 40 bux. At 40 bux, they are worth it! ...but not at 80 bux!!
Also, the phone call quality is poor at best, I always turn off the headset when calls come in.

I got a refurb S9 on eBay and bought a 2-year warranty from SquareTrade for about $12. So even if they DO fail, I'm covered for 2 years. There is an active listing selling NEW S9s for under $30 shipped. Highly recommended.
I found this thread when I was searching through Google for wireless headphones for the android.
I've been looking at the Jaybird Headset based on this review: Top 3 Bluetooth Workout Headphones
Any thoughts?

i use a Plantronics M55 . it's very convenient with the full features while driving, swiming or running, etc...
It has a stylish design, and offers good call quality and cheap price.
