Could you recommend a pair of cheap, studio quality, headphones that use bluetooth? Also a pair of good value, audiophile quality earbuds that use bluetooth? P

  How about ones that don't have unpredictable 15ms-30ms latency was well...

    I didn't mention the insertion of shit codecs, either. Or replacing them every couple of years when the soldered in battery dies (as opposed to my Sony MDRs, that I've been using almost daily for a decade). Or trying to use them for 6+ hours a day, and keep them charged. Or the killer feature of knockabout earbuds: that they cost $10 or so you can use them without worrying about leaving them somewhere, and afford to keep a pair in every bag.

      Another thing, there's simply not enough 2.4ghz bandwidth available in a crowded environment [like an airplane] for everyone and their pet dog to have 2 channels of skip free low latency high def audio

  Depending on what you call "cheap", Plantronics' Backbeat Pro. Works well with a cable attached to a sound desk, works well on Bluetooth with an Android phone, works well plugged into a Macbook, just about works on Bluetooth with a Macbook when you turn the Magic Trackpad off and make sure the Mac is trying to send it a high quality stream. Slightly off-topic: my experience with Bluetooth does make me wonder how many people have been put off by Apple's Bluetooth stack. But given the alternative is a work-provided USB headset, I just plug the headphones in.
