Anyone have experience with these, or any other bluetooth headphones?

No, but wouldn't wireless headphones be great for playing DDR when you have a roommate that doesn't want to hear the music?

My brother has a stereo pair made by Coby (has adaptor to connect to computer or iPod), and I've had a couple mono ones in the past (Plantronics or whatever they're called).  I've never been a fan of bluetooth stuff, as the audio quality isn't much more than acceptable, and they don't hold a charge very long (maybe 4-5 hours at the most), but my brother likes the Coby as a way to listen to the iPod while falling asleep.

If you just want wireless headphones, Sony has some 900mhz ones that are pretty good.

I'm looking for A2DP Bluetooth because the 2G Touch has it built in.  Yeah, I know the quality isn't great, but when you have your music at 128 bits.....  nothing can help you. :P

The 2nd Generation iPod Touch now has A2DP Bluetooth via the 3.0 Software Update. =D

Note: the 1st gen Touch (the one without the volume buttons) does not get Bluetooth)
