Headphone help (MP3 player)?

Is it possible to use Bluetooth Headphones with an MP3 Player?

Now, I'm not exactly a technical person, so I don't really know how bluetooth works. I know that a pair of headphones that are bluetooth will have a reciever-style box attached to the headphone jack, so what i wanted to know was:

Can i put my MP3 player in my pants pocket and my headphones on my head, and just go walking? Or do the reciever and headphones have to be able to see each other?

Also, on a similar note, does anyone know of any decent bluetooth headphones (that would be compatible with a Creative Zen Vision: M) that are pretty good?

I'm looking to try and get some circumaural (cover your ears), closed back, bluetooth headphones, but the only thing i can find are a pair of bluetooth headphones by Creative that aren't getting very good reviews. Apparently sound is choppy through them at times.

Anyone able to help out?

Thank you :)

Dont bother with bluetooth. Sounds quality is subpar and not worth the money. Shure headphones are the best and any product from them is worth the extra cash.

For your MP3 player, you will need a bluetooth transmitter/adapter to actually use the bluetooth headphones. They won't just magically work. They work with cell phones only if the phone supports the correct profile (see below).

Sony sells an adapter that works both ways, sending and receiving, and costs around $100 (at BestBuy), just for the adapter. Its apparently really new, I saw it two days ago in the store, but couldn't find it on the website today. The headphones are going to run another $100 ($50 at least) for a decent pair. Go for ones made by music companies, not computer companies for better sound quality.

The sound will probably be choppy (BT is not the most reliable connection), and the batteries in these (the adapter and the headphones) is probably not going to last as long as the MP3 player battery will last.

Bluetooth works with RF (radio waves), so it doesn't need line of sight, only to be close (maximum of 30 feet). There are more BT headphones coming out now since many phones now support A2DP protocol. This is the bluetooth profile that allows for stereo sound transmission. So, if you wait, there will be more selection, and possibly lower cost, but don't count on the price dropping much.

Summary: Yes, it will work how you want it to, but it will require an adapter on the player (in your pocket), it will cost a lot, and may not sound great. Although, it may also double as a cell phone adapter for hands free phone usage.

My opinion, get a good quality set of headphones, or some isolating ear buds (like the Shure e2c). Sound quality is much better and no worry about batteries running down or losing connection.
