Any reason you don't use your phone and the bluetooth headset. My phone works great as a music player...

There has been a resurgence of bluetooth headsets which actually has been out for quite a long time now.

I think that the problem before was that the idea was novel and quite nice but there is a very limited market for it to work with.

And with smartphones going as the standard now, it just ensured that everyone would be up for being able to use it just like that.

And to add, most of the BT headsets are either uncomfortable or heavy.

I am going to buy a BT adapter soon, and I hear (sorry) these are pretty good,  just ditch the earbuds.
