Default Wireless headphones for walking, jogging and running?

Ladies and gentlemen,

What are the best wireless headphones available that would be suitable for exercise?

I'm looking at something bluetooth to connect with the phone or has a dongle to go in a iPod nano.

Let me know what is out there!

Cheers,

I purchased a blue ant T1 bluetooth headset for $79 at dicksmith a couple of weeks ago to use with my iPhone as just a bluetooth headset for talking on the phone, but have started using it when exercising and running etc also to listen to tunes.

This is obviously only one ear though. Which works for me as i like to hear whats going on around me when i go running. might not be for you if you want both ears.

I have a Plantronics set, and they are great. Will buy again!

Can't remember the model I have & it's probably superceded anyway.
Have worked faultlessly for 6 years. Rechargeable battery life is still good. Use them jogging all the time - easy to use buttons so I can skip/pause/adjust volume/take calls when playing my music on my phone (current is HTC Android but worked just as well with my old Nokia).

Also came with a 3.5mm bluetooth adapter - really handy for the TV in my donga.
Comes with a cable so you can use it in flight mode instead of crappy free ones.

*TIP* The foam pads from the QUANTAS headphones are a good source of replacments when mine get old and sweaty.

I've got a set of motorola S9.
Good battery life and has all the controls on the head set.
Fits my head nicely, not loose, never fallen off.
Light.

Had them a while but I think they were around $120.
