Greetings,

since I bought a netbook, I listen to music almost exclusively on my
laptop. There is something nice in having a single device with a huge
hard drive, a huge music collection, and unified song ratings and
play-lists following you all the time.

At home and at work I usually plug in my closed cans and I switch to
canal phones when I work from a pub or a café. The only problem that
I have so far is in the bus or when I walk down the street because a
long cord dangling from my backpack is not terribly practical. To
avoid this problem, I'm considering bluetooth headphones. My netbook
already has built-in bluetooth which makes this setup quite appealing.

Can anyone in here recommend good portable headphones with bluetooth
support? I'm looking for something with lots of isolation since I
plan to use them in noisy places. The Jaybirds look interesting but I
read reviews mentioning poor sound quality. Is there anything else
that is recommendable below $200?

don't do it.

Wireless headphones in general are generally poor in terms of sound quality.

The KLEER wireless system used by Sleek-Audio, however, apparently sounds fantastic (for wireless). I don't think you can get it for only $200, but the SA6/wireless bundle is probably your best bet. Take care of them, though, as they've been known to have certain durability issues.

If you don't want to pay for KLEER, don't get wireless.

Well, IIRC the Etymotic wireless model is Bluetooth, but the Sennheiser and Sleek Audio wireless models utilize KLEER technology, which is easily superioir in every aspect.

Sleek Audio wireless sound and works well when I can get a seal...I got them about a month ago when the SoundEarphones.com had a 20% off coupon on everything. Check out their sponsor thread to see if they have anything current. That made them 254$ total shipped.

Thanks for the recommendations everyone. I'll stick with wired for now.
